Why your emotional health matters?
Emotional health is an important part of overall health. Emotionally healthy people are in control of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. They’re able to cope with life’s challenges. They can keep problems in perspective and bounce back from setbacks.
Assessing your psychological well-being:
- Are you feeling low, and it just won’t shift?
- Do you worry excessively: have a head full of 'what if's?
- Are you stressed or anxious, everyday?
- Do you have panic attacks? Feel afraid to leave home? Can’t be on your own?
- Are you always anxious when around other people?
- Are you worried about your health, despite reassurance from doctors?
- Are you tormented by unwanted intrusive thoughts and the need to repeat behaviours, pushed around by the internal bully of OCD?
- Do you have flashbacks of frightening past events?
- Are you your own worst enemy, always harsh and critical of yourself?
- Do you find it hard to manage your anger?
- Do past events still negatively affect how you think of yourself and other people?
- Are difficulties in your relationship contributing to your feelings of low mood?
If the answer is “yes” to one or more of these questions, then you are not alone. There are 30,000 people in Trafford struggling in silence with the impact of such emotional difficulties.
