Every year Mental Health Awareness Week rolls around again, and those of us who celebrate bake a cake and play pass the parcel, etc, and there is a sometimes overwhelming outpouring of confessional posts on social media, along with the reminder that it is good to talk about our feelings, that it is important not to repress or feel shameful about our darker moments.
At its best, talking openly about one’s mental health invites and allows others to help, whether with a hug or a lift to the hospital. At its worst, it sees those who need that help battered by cuts to mental health services, flailing on a waiting list, or simply feeling more alone and unheard than ever, as if they have dropped a penny into a very deep well.
As well as ensuring there are safe places for people struggling with their mental health to go, there must be a safe infrastructure to the conversations that come before. Part of that responsibility falls, unfortunately, on the person speaking. While it’s important to talk about how you’re feeling, be sensible about who you are vulnerable to.
