Today, I want to share reasons why it's important to accept yourself for your mental health. So, if you know my story I was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia when I was in my last year of High School and back then. I just can't accept myself for many reasons though.

As time went by, I discovered that accepting yourself is important for your mental health despite having a mental illness or not simply an important thing. Here is my reason why it's important to accept yourself for your mental health.

# 1 Makes you comfortable to be yourself

When it comes to accepting yourself that makes you able to be you. Accept your past and present work towards the future. Knowing yourself and being you really is an important thing because it makes you comfortable to be yourself.

# 2 Boost your confidence

When you accept yourself including your flaws and painful past. Okay, it’s difficult to accept sometimes. When I decided to accept myself it boosted my confidence that I could share my stories and interact with people more. That despite my mental illness I can be more confident because I’ve been through so much.

# 3 Discover new ways to handle your flaws

At the time I started to accept myself, I was just a college student and yep I had it hard especially when I told a few of my friends about it. Then, I discovered new ways to handle my mental illness like keeping my focus in class by taking notes, expressing my emotions in my diary, and so on. When you accept yourself surely you’ll discover new ways to handle your flaws.

# 4 Gives you more ability to accept other’s flaws

As I accept myself, it gives me the ability to accept my friends and other people's flaws. Because, face it everyone has a flaw and nobody’s perfect. It begins with feeling sympathetic to accepting their flaws.

Finally, we’re at the end of this article. I hope you try to accept yourself and by accepting yourself you eventually become more open to accepting other’s flaws. If you have another reason why it’s important to accept yourself be sure to comment okay!

 As many of you may already know from reading my novel Double Minority Hanna , I previously shared the inspiration behind the story, which comes from personal experiences and my community.

Mental Health Support and Recovery Environment in Amsterdam One of the key reasons I chose Amsterdam is its robust mental health support system and recovery-friendly environment.

  As you all know, I've recently begun a regular workout routine, starting with just 5 minutes of exercise each day. This is my update on how it's been going and the significant impact it has had on my mental health. For a long time, my doctor has advised me to exercise, but I have always found myself being lazy and putting it off. Exercise seemed like a daunting task, especially when struggling with the symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia. The idea of getting up and moving felt overwhelming, and I was skeptical about how much a simple workout could actually help. However, as time passed, I realized just how right my doctor was! Once I started working out, my mood improved significantly, and I felt much more stable. Remarkably, my symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia have diminished, even after my doctor reduced my nighttime medication from 400 to 300 milligrams. This reduction in medication was a milestone for me, and I believe that my commitment to physical activity played a cru...
