The stigma around mental health can be extremely fickle. Either an individual understands it, or they don’t.My motto has always been
“You’ve got to go through shit, to not be shit”
And yeah to some degree that’s true. I myself feel extremely misunderstood because of my roller coaster of an upbringing and hidden trauma.
But I have also witnessed that there is a hardship around having the perfect up bringing (if there is such thing as perfect) or just a more structured upbringing. I have definitely fallen into comparing my life to others - and feeling more shitty by doing so.
Sometimes life can be so perfect that you feel any issues can go unanswered and unnoticed.
Humanity is a unique civilisation… nothing is ever linear… no answer is correct when understanding emotions . Sad, angry, frustrated etc. but nobody can explain the feeling of happiness because we feel it through our entire body. The tingles, the heart and especially in our face when we smile.
I think all we need to realise, everybody has emotions and how we express them is completely up to us… and yeah there will be moments where bad experiences will arise or you will be triggered into a memory that makes you feel less than others. Life isn’t about comparing it’s about experiencing and understanding not only yourself, but the people around you.
