How would you describe your mental health?

You can be honest. Remember, we (or anybody else) can’t see how you vote. How would you describe your mental health?

Are you happy all the time—what some would describe as happy-go-lucky? Is your mental health pretty good? Is it pretty bad? Really bad? Please vote as you most often feel. We know some days can be harder than others.

If you’re feeling depressed or alone, you can call or text the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline 24/7 at 988. There is always someone there to talk to.

If you had asked a week ago I would have given a completely different answer. No power in the RV, NO AC and no 12 volt after the sun went down. Finally tracked it down to a bad main battery cable….

Mental health isn’t an instant reading like that, the fact that you were able to have a dip in fortune, fix it, and recover your (presumably) good outlook a week later suggests you probably have good mental health.

Mental health and happiness are not synonymous. Your poll implies they are.

That was my first thought. “Happiness” is an ethereal concept, different for everyone. Nothing to do with mental health.

Anyone saying they do not have any mental problems probably has them.
Denial is the first sign.

The question wasn’t Do you have any mental problems (we all have at some point time), the question was: How do you describe your mental health? Totally different question.

Bob

Anyone answering no, means they do not have mental problems at all. They consider themselves as not having problems.
The rest of the answers are people admitting they have problems. Fine line.

Once again, the question was: How do you describe your mental health?

‘No’ isn’t even an available answer.

Is this a trick question….before or after I read RV Travel?

tired, hangry, and if someone asks me to do one more thing that s/he can easily do for her/himself, I’m gonna lose it… Anybody who doesn’t have those moments from time to time has to already be on drugs. The difference is knowing the mood will be temporary and knowing that overall, life is fine.

It’s nice to see that most of us here are “Happy Campers”! 🙂
For me, personally; I’m mental healthy, except when I’m not (same as my physical, and spiritual health)… It’s all intertwined.
Most days I would rate it at 7 or higher. Very few are 4 or lower.

December is a tough month for a lot of people. Sure would be good to see poll results from December versus May or June as a hypothetical comparison.

It seems to me, only a person with good mental health would know their mental health was not good. My 98 year old mother-in-law thinks her mental health is perfect when flawed in many ways.

I have fantastic mental health, if you ask me. If you ask my wife, she will just answer that I am mental, but I think she figured that out when we met 63 years ago.

Going through a guilty stage right now. I don’t feel like I’m bringing in enough income. I went from working 13 and one half hours Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. 12 and one half hours on Tuesday driving for one medical transport company and I quit because I couldn’t keep driving those hours. With driving for a new medical transport company I’m lucky if I get 20 to 25 hours in 4 days.

It sounds like you did what needed to be done, Jeff. Those are awfully long hours to be driving in one day. Sounds very unsafe. Nothing to feel guilty about, especially since your health and safety (and possibly other drivers’ safety) were at stake. I’m sure things will work out for you, so hang in there. Take care.🤗 –Diane at RVtravel.com

Thank you. There were a lot of times I drove from shawano to Green Bay and Green Bay back to shawano. I was driving tired. It wasn’t safe for me or other drivers.

You have a (Patient) right to request/see another healthcare Provider if there are issues seeing the one you are assigned to and/or being treated appropriately. You also have a right to see a Patient Care Advocate or Ombudsman to discuss your issues as you have written about in order that you receive the healthcare you need.

Please do Not wait until you have a stroke or heart attack-high blood pressure is not something to take lightly-it may not kill you right off, it can make you an invalid for the rest of your then suffering life! For You, Your Spouse and Your other Loved Ones please follow through. It is too easy to treat High Blood Pressure for you to not be taken care of now 🤗
