Know Your Worth - Mental Health Addition.

In a world of hierarchy and demand sometimes we need to sit back and give ourselves some credit. Worth shouldn't be measured in how much someone gets paid. Nor how beautiful someone is. Worth should be measured in how much love and devotion people can give. It should be measured in what we give to the world and what the world takes from us.

Worth doesn't have to be measured from your job, what degree you have, or what exam you have passed. It also shouldn't be judged on what weight you are or from how many likes you get on a picture. Worth is how far you've grown as a person.  In an ever changing world, everyone is different. Worth should be measured by what you've done to change yourself, how you've fraught and how you've failed but still tried again. It is about the lesson of life and learning new paths and fresh starts.
It is about what you provide for the world in order for what you get in return. It is about being fair, seeing everyone as equal and not judging one another for being different. Worth shouldn't be narrowed into a section of constantly moving up in the world of material things. Just because you haven't been promoted, doesn't mean you are any less worthy. Everyone is fighting a different battle. Everyone is taking a different journey to freedom.

Stop feeling unworthy because you don't have a degree, or something material to share with the world on social media. Remember to praise yourself for how far you have come. There are so many different issues that come along with mental health. Mental health isn't as easy as physical health believe it or not. Physical health, you can go to physio, get some medication and resort back and forth to a doctor. Mental health however, you are left to deal with the main bulk alone inside your brain.
Some of us are constantly growing and changing beneath the naked eye. It can be small things, like talking out loud in a group of people, getting a part time job or even just getting out of the house for a few hours. Under the stress of mental health some of these things can cause tremendous amounts of panic and uncertainly, but just by pushing yourself that little bit you have overcome something. These are all goals and achievements believe it or not. Don't be so hard on yourself.

Mental health in terms of achievement is very much blended into the sidelines. It is hard to watch the world around  you progress and become when mental health is such a slow and recurrent progress.
Everything will work out one day. Recovery and people battling mental health should be encouraged, praised and made into a big deal. Just because your friends got a degree in a topic, doesn't mean you're doing any less. In fact, you are probably working harder towards recovery then they are revising. Recovery is a full time job everyday. Don't let people moving on with their lives deter you from being worthy. YOU ARE WORTHY.
