Genetics. :)
taking good care of it, probably.
I think the daunting part of it to me is the work could involve doctors/therapists/psychiatrists. healthcare in general is not easy to find and pay for.
Yeah that's true, though I think it's possible to heal without it. I wasn't ready to absorb information, so I just started doing things my way. Taking note on what makes me feel better and what doesn't. It can be helpful to have a diagnosis, it can be a relief. For example I got diagnosed with Autism last year, it gave some answers to my struggles all throughout school. It doesn't mean we can't keep growing after a diagnosis.
If it's helpful, awesome.
yeah I do think it’s possible too but not sure if it’s possible for everyone. not sure if it’s for the long term either. that’s interesting, I don’t think anyone I know who has been diagnosed with anything has had a negative experience from one which is good. and exactly I think something like that just helps with perspective and being able to learn more which I think can only help things.
Having enough contact to people so you can exchange energy with them and having no contact with people who dump their shit in your soul.
Either that or somehow rising above our surroundings and environment. It's sad that cutting some people out of our life, may be the only option to keep growing. Simply because, they don't have anything to offer us anymore, only stagnation or decline.
The older I grow the less energy do I have to pretend to be interested in people with the wrong chemistry. Some of them seem not to realise that they only pretend to have something in common with me and only get on my nerves by doing that. The more often that happens the less friendly I get. People seem to not get it that manners and friendliness do not mean I do love them.
It makes sense, I tend to give people chances but I won't openly give myself to the wrong person.
Being rich and never having to work again.
asking me about good mental health is like asking your dentist about a colonoscopy
Positivity.
Kill yourself
I'd say ignorance but that's a good entryway for mental stress. So I don't know.

It is possible to get out of not so good mental health, it just takes a lot of work and maybe some years to get there.
