You cannot escape your mind.

So look after it for Fucks Sake.

I would not wish the nightmare of mental breakdown and psychosis on my worst enemy. Losing touch with reality was the worst experience of my life.

Apparently I am ‘Pre-disposed’.. At a higher risk, have a lower threshold for stress..

My only advice for anyone who starts feeling the cracks starting to form in their mind:

look after yourself.

Eat as healthily as you know how.

Sleep.

chill the fuck out.

learn about relaxation techniques, whatever works for you, find it.

Because if your faced with a lack of mental strength, a split in the world and you start losing control, the most likely treatment suggested to you will be psychotropic medication… & I’m pretty sure that is not the answer to most people who experience a mental breakdown’s problems.

Eat better, sleep better, find a doctor with some common sense, look for a cause for your distress rather than masking the symptoms with something that dulls your view of the world.

It’s now been a month without my prescribed meds, on a daily regimen of vitamins known to improve mental health instead, and slowly improving my diet.. My mind is a nice place to be right now.
