Remove Toxicity 

If you have surrounded yourself with people that aren’t very nice to you then you may want to rethink this decision. Unfortunately, being around people that say hurtful things or bring you down can damage your mental health. It can be hard to notice if you are used to it, it tends to be other people giving you warnings about the people around you. If you listen to them and remove the toxic people then you could start building yourself up again. 

Reach For The Bible

Something else to think about, especially if you are religious, is to read inspirational verses from the bible. Take these short bible verses for when you need them the most, “Seek the LORD and his strength; seek his presence continually!” and “When I am afraid, I put my trust in you”. You could also head to your local church and speak to the priest or go in the confession box if there is anything bothering you. The power of God can help you out during the toughest of times and help you get your mental health back on track. 

Speak To Professionals

If you think your mental health issues are from deeper-rooted complications then it may be worth seeking out the help of a professional. They can offer you many different types of counseling, including group therapy and CBT. Do some research to find out which type of therapy will be best for you. Take a look around for a reputable psychologist that will help you overcome any problems you currently have. Speaking to someone can help you get to the bottom of things if you are struggling to overcome them on your own. 

Find A Hobby

Finally, if you are looking for ways to deal with your mental health and keep calm during tough times then it might help to find a hobby. This can be anything, as long as you enjoy it and it helps you relax. It doesn’t have to be anything spectacular, it could be as simple as having a bath or reading a book. Taking time to unwind will give you the chance to recharge your batteries. If you don’t want to do stuff on your own then you could head out with your friends or family.
