Mental Stability
Mental Health Sunday
#MHSunday
Let me do a simple MHSunday today. In the following text, I use medical terminology, but it is not to be taken as a true science. It is something I understood from my own experiences and reading.
The Brain and Body seek Homeostasis (a fancy work for equilibrium/stability). Both are constantly changing throughout a day, week and year, but ultimately they both seek stability. To understand the consequences of this lets define some terminology.
- Excitement - Elevation of Activity
- Depression - Decrease of Activity (Different to the other definition of Depression)
In the pursuit of equilibrium, our moments of excitement and depression are kept equal either by time or degree. The breaking of this equilibium results in a lot of mental disorders and illnesses. Too much depression results in chronic depression, too much excitement results in mania. And an improper balancing of the moments of both results in Bipolar disorder.
Weve reached a time where the widoms of the older generations seems inapplicable to the difficulties of our younger generations. The abundance of media and entertainment has brought us on demand excitement. I don't believe the issues of modern media technologies is unique to it, the issue is the decrease of cost of engagement.
Then if excitement is on-demand and abundant, how does our brain find equilibrium.
- By increasing the length or severity of our depressive episodes
- By decreasing the potency of our excited episodes
- By lifting the equilibrium to a state only maintainable by continual use (addiction)
Now I dont have a solution or advice, but I can share what I believe that I must do. Plan life for average me, but find ways to assign some tasks to excited me and others to depressed me. By maintaining the average, I can dip in and out of different states as seen fit.277
Whats up with the uncomfortably common advice to disconnect with ur feelings
Thats called dissosiating, its well studied and commonly understood to be bad for you

I agree with the sentiment if not the text itself
some people are not competent in parenting, as such measures to prevent them from being solely responsible for a life and its development is necessary
tldr; fuck yeah
