Today I would like to start by asking, are you okay? Yes, I understand it is a very broad question, that can literally mean anything. However, today's topic deals with the most common answer to that question. I'm close to 100% certain that when someone asks you, "are you okay?" your response is, "Yeah, I'm fine!" Even when you're not 'fine'. Sometimes you go through things that make you feel everything but okay. It could be a rough patch with a family member or friend, just bad day, or maybe a major setback. Sometimes, it seems like it's like one thing goes wrong after another, and another, and another. Sometimes an unexpected change, obstacle, or challenge might come your way, and you find yourself stressing out, or worrying and not knowing what to do. And, …show more content…
All of the sudden, you’re being plagued with self-doubt; and you start to think that you have to be strong all the time. You begin to think that you’re not allowed to cry, or to admit that you’re not okay. Well I'm here to tell you that It's okay to NOT be okay! We are all human, and we all experience heartache, exhaustion, doubt, and many more at one point in our lives. Not everyone may be able to give you great advice or lend a helping hand in what you may be going through. However, everyone has the ability to listen, and just hear you out, because many times that's what you need. You need someone to set your thoughts straight, perhaps someone to relate to. For those of you who are struggling with mental illness and/or grief, dealing with this pressure to always seem happy can be even more challenging. Sometimes when you are feeling down, you put on a mask to hide the darkness that lies behind the smile. It feels as though a cloud is hanging over your head; and those are the days you push people away the most. Well let me tell you why you do that; you do that simply because it is easier to try to forget about what is going on and not bother others with your
The truth is everything isn't great. It's not perfect. And I keep trying to act like everything's okay. It'll get better. I just keep telling myself, 'It'll be okay, and it'll get better.'

When trying to help some-one that is distressed, you first need to find out what sort of support they want and need. Some-times it is as simple as someone to listen to them or a hand to hold and
Potential areas of inequality in Fruit Valley are the access to healthy, fresh food as well as a lower than average median income and a higher rent in proportion to the lower income when compared to residents residing in the other Vancouver area neighborhoods.
However, if you do not feel comfortable with this you can also talk to a profession to be more discrete. Taking to someone about your problems can help you come up with practical solutions or steps to help get you healthy. For myself, I thought I had been depressed or close to after the loss of my grandpa and I found comfort in being with my loved ones. Sometimes I found it was talking to them about how I felt that helped or just being in their presence would benefit me.
“Get knowledge of the spine, for this is the requisite for many diseases.” –Hippocrates, 460-377 BC. If a Greek physician could make this statement over 2300 years ago, why is it such an under-exposed theory today? As stated in Chiropractic First, written by Dr. Rondberg, a chiropractor of 35 years and founder of the “Chiropractic Journal,” Hippocrates “believed that only nature could heal and it was the physician’s duty to remove any obstruction that would prevent the body from healing” (8-9). These “physicians” are called chiropractors today, and their goal is to remove subluxations, the displacement of two or more spinal disks that causes
The following day, Coates returned to work with her notepad full of notes that she’d collected after studying Reno’s Facebook page. They’d been told that he and Savannah were madly in love, the next power couple, and had been dating for two years. They’d seen how he comforted Darlene, Savannah’s mother, at the crime scene. Coates’ experience had taught her that nothing is what it seems and Reno’s Facebook page corroborated her skills.
“It gets better”, is always a cliché saying for someone with depression to hear. The constant reminder that it can just “go away”, but it doesn’t. It stays with you as long as you’re alive. When people say that they have a broken arm, everyone flocks to them, wanting to put their signature onto the cast. If you say you have depression, they run the other way. People don’t want to be around somebody, who is stereotyped to self-harm, always cry, and look sad. Depression isn’t always that case. It’s this feeling of constant sadness that you always mask over with a bright smile, broken eyes, and the daily “I’m fine”’s.

There is something wrong when we imply depression in a dark corner without air and a helping hand. Most of the time depression hides behind a smile, a day with the family, a picnic, etc.... I'm one of those cases. I grew up in an environment where I could not express my feelings because the almighty is watching me from committing any sin coming out of my mouth. I learned to hide my sufferings because this is part of the heavenly plain; to suffer just like
Depression has been an ongoing battle in my life and I have pushed every form of help that was handed to me. Instead of dealing with my feelings, a pushed them down. Now, we all know what happens if you take a bottle full of soda and shake it up. You take the top off to let some of that sugary goodness out, and it explodes all over you. The soda bottle is me, the soda is all of my feelings and thoughts that I keep buried inside, and the shaking is any emotionally stressful situation you can think of.
On May 2, 2012, the National Football League lost one of its elite players to suicide: Junior Seau. Seau played for the Chargers, Dolphins, and the Patriots during his professional football career and was a 12-time Pro Bowler before retiring in 2009. Three years after his retirement however, Seau committed suicide by shooting himself in the chest with a gun. This greatly shocked the football world and its image of Junior Seau as a person, but it soon realized the cause for his action. Shortly after Seau’s death, researchers examined Seau’s brain and found that it contained a disease known as chronic traumatic encephalopathy which is formed
I’m going to share an experience I had. Something that I’ve regretted and hated myself for since, knowing that help could’ve been sought earlier. A few years back, I was catching up with a family member and noticed a faint bruise on her face. Naturally, I asked her what had happened but she just brushed it off, told me it was nothing but a sport injury. Weeks progressed, and the bruises became worse and worse, but I stop questioning. To me, she still seemed the happy go-lucky girl I knew and loved, the only difference were these markings. But let me tell you, sometimes the people who seem happiest, are actually hurting the most. And this was exactly the case. Flashforward a few months, and her partner was being trialled and charged under the case of domestic abuse.
Just imagine, imagine if you were in my shoes right now, how do you feel? Because I can tell you I still feel nervous and that I'm being judged but I’m not the only person. Just think about all those others with anxiety around the world today right now, they don't just think about putting themselves down, they think about death.
In the United States, starting salaries for teachers who have completed a four-year degree are far lower compared to many other professions, which also require a four-year degree. In most states, teachers must undergo testing and other rigorous certification requirements, but they are given the same consideration or status as beginning professionals in other areas. Although attractive incentives are offered, the compensation does not compare to the long hours of work and schooling required for a teaching career.
