Everything ends, pain and sadness seem like they are never endless, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth.
Everyone endures pain whether it is physical or emotional pain, but we seem to seek the end by ending it all. The end of physical and emotional pain doesn’t come at the end of one’s life, it comes by recognizing that pain is temporary no matter the issue that is being dealt with.
Pain is something that we all deal with, but we all deal with it differently because we were all raised to deal with pain differently. Some don’t talk about the pain they experience, and they suppress it until they need to deal with it, or it comes up on its own. Others choose to deal with their pain as soon as possible.
No matter how one deals with their pain, it’s important to take care of one another. As a society we tend to be independent and we deal with things on our own, but it doesn’t mean that everything has to be dealt with individually. Pain is supposed to be discussed with others because we have dealt with similar situations in life, everyone has felt pain and we all have ways to cope with our pain that could be helpful to others.
Pain is a universal feeling, we all feel it, but we refuse to talk about what is troubling us at the time because we don’t think others have dealt with the same trauma. People won’t judge you for the pain that is endured, but they will try to help you try to overcome the pain that is holding you back. People aren’t going to insult you for the pain that you are feeling, but they are going to applaud you for being able to keep going and keep your head held high.
Everyone has had to deal with someone struggling with their mental health, and they didn’t have to remind themselves to try to help that person. It’s simple, if you see someone struggling, make an attempt to talk to them about what has them down.
Taking care of one another doesn’t mean just once either, it means being polite when you don’t feel like it. It means doing the little things to be nice to one another like holding the door for someone or throwing someone’s trash away for them. Mental health is improved by the little things, if someone makes the day easier for you without being asked, it can make someone’s day without an extravagant action being taken.
Everyone struggles with mental health whether it is classified as depression or not, and by taking an extra second to help someone out, it can change their whole outlook of the day. One action can make or break someone’s day, and by trying to break someone’s day, you are hurting yourself.
Pain ends and happiness begins when you choose to accept that pain is inevitable.
