Deep dives
Accepting Unhappiness as Part of Mental Health
An important revelation in the speaker's mental health journey was learning that it's okay to feel unhappy. Attending a course that emphasized this idea was transformative as it challenged the notion that feeling unhappy meant there was something fundamentally wrong. This realization allowed the speaker to understand that unhappiness was just a passing state of mind, not a permanent condition. By accepting and allowing unhappy feelings without trying to constantly mitigate them, the speaker gained mental clarity and freed themselves from the burden of constantly trying to prevent unhappiness.
