How would you describe your own mental health at present?

Our reader poll today asks: How would you describe your own mental health at present?

• I’m flourishing – 9%
• I’m healthy – 51%
• I’m languishing – 23%
• I’m unhealthy – 9%
• I’m not sure – 9%

Take Care of Yourself. While 60% of you report being in a good place from a mental health standpoint, over 30% are not. For those of you who are languishing or unhealthy, reflect on why that is. Is it your environment? Diet? Sleep schedule? External stressors? If you’re not able to figure it out, consider a mental health professional. There may be underlying mental or physiological reasons you’re not doing as well as you’d like. Fortunately the stigma around mental health challenges has been diminishing in recent years. Therapy can definitely unlock issues you weren’t aware of and enable you to work on them. Most mental health struggles are invisible to those around us therefore the only person who can assess the presence of one and seek help is you. Please take care of yourself.
