HOW WELL DO YOU KNOW ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH ?

WHAT IS MENTAL HEALTH ?

• THE THING THAT MAKES ME FEEL ALL "EMOTIONAL" AFTER A GOOD MOVIE

• THE WAY PEOPLE FEEL, THINK, AND ACT IN THEIR DAILY LIFE

• MY EXCUSE FOR WANTING A NAP EVERY DAY

• ONLY SOMETHING ADULTS WORRY ABOUT

WHICH OF THESE CAN HELP IMPROVE MENTAL HEALTH?

• TAKING A POWER NAP IN CLASS WITHOUT GETTING CAUGHT

• GOING ON A SHOPPING SPREE WITH YOUR FRIENDS (Slayy bestea💅🛍 but you're gonna end up broke though...)

• SPENDING TIME WITH YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS AND TAKING GOOD CARE OF YOURSELF

• PUTTING OFF ALL YOUR HOMEWORK UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE

  (you better not pick this-)

WHAT SHOULD YOU DO IF YOU FEEL SAD OR STRESSED FOR A LONG TIME?

• KEEP IT TO YOURSELF AND VENT IT OUT TO A VIRTUAL COMPANION (cough..cough.. C.AI...cough..)

• TALK TO SOMEONE YOU TRUST (*NOT YOUR GF/BF BUT YOUR BESTEA OR FAMILY MEMBER)

• PRETEND YOU'RE FINE, LIKE A SECRET AGENT ON A MISSION (which you're clearly not)

• SLEEP AND HOPE THE STRESS GOES AWAY (spoiler: It certainly did not....trust me, I tried.)

• DO NOTHING AND START BINGE-WATCHING VIDEOS (don't lie you thought this was the answer for a sec didn't you?)

WHICH OF THESE IS A GOOD WAY TO MANAGE STRESS?

• RUNNING AROUND SCREAMING LIKE YOU'RE BEING CHASE BY PENNYWISE HIMSELF

• TAKING DEEP BREATHS, THINK HAPPY THOUGHTS (like holidays and presents🎄🎁), RELAX AND TRY FUN ENGAGING HOBBIES

• CHUGGING ENERGY DRINKS TO "POWER THROUGH" IT! GRAHHH!!!

• STARING AT THE CEILING AND IGNORE ALL YOUR PROBLEMS WHILE YOU'RE OFF TO DELULU LAND

WHO CAN YOU TALK TO IF YOU'RE HAVING A TOUGH TIME WITH YOUR MENTAL HEALTH?

• THE PLANT IN YOUR ROOM (personally I have one called Frank, great listener btw but not much for giving advices.)

• YOUR BEST PAL, FAMILY MEMBER, TRUSTED TEACHER OR COUNSELLOR

• THE MAIN CHARACTER FROM YOUR FAVOURITE SHOW (they can't hear you, though)

• NO ONE! KEEP ALL YOUR FEELINGS BOTTLED UP AND CRY ALONE (JUST KIDDING — PLEASE DON'T ! I BEG OF YOU)

WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING IS *NOT* A SIGN OF GOOD MENTAL HEALTH?

• FEELING PRETTY OKAY ABOUT YOURSELF MOST OF THE TIME

• BEING ABLE TO HANDLE STRESS WITHOUT TURNING INTO A DRAMA QUEEN

• FEELING DOWN AND HOPELESS ALL THE TIME

• KNOWING YOU CAN GET THROUGH YOUR DAILY PROBLEMS

MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES CAN AFFECT ANYONE, REGARDLESS OF AGE.

• TRUE, BECAUSE LIFE CAN BE TOUGH FOR EVERYONE.

• FALSE, ONLY PEOPLE WITH JOBS AND BILLS HAVE MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES

WHAT IS AN IMPORTANT FIRST STEP IN IMPROVING MENTAL HEALTH?

• DECIDING YOU'RE GOING TO BE THE NEXT BIG SOCIAL MEDIA STAR 🌟 🕶

• RECOGNIZING AND ACCEPTING HOW YOU'RE FEELING (Sure, everyone goes through different problems in their life, but it doesn't mean yours does not matter)

• IGNORING EVERYONE WHO CARES ABOUT YOU BECAUSE YOU "DON'T NEED HELP"

• TALK TO RANDOM STRANGERS ONLINE ABOUT YOUR PROBLEMS

IT'S OKEY TO TAKE BREAKS WHEN YOU'RE FEELING STRESSED OR OVERWHELMED.

• TRUE, BECAUSE EVERYONE NEEDS A "PAUSE BUTTON" SOMETIMES

• FALSE, BECAUSE BREAKS ARE ONLY FOR ROBOTS WHO NEEDS RECHARGING

HOW CAN EXERCISE BENEFIT YOUR MENTAL HEALTH?

• IT CAN MAKE YOU TIRED AND WANT TO SLEEP MORE

• IT RELEASES ENDORPHINS THAT IMPROVE YOUR MOOD

• IT TAKES TIME AWAY FROM YOUR HOBBIES

• IT'S JUST A WAY TO LOOK GOOD FOR SOCIAL MEDIA
