Mental health is a topical subject. Even though many people are ignorant about it, conversations about it are coming up both online and offline. One question that keeps coming is;

“Can bullying affect mental health?” Of course, it can!

Imagine being a victim every day. Whether it is for seven months or seven years or anything in between, frequent abuse is not something anyone can forget or get over quickly.

For most people, it stays with them for a long time, causing a ripple effect of low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and lack of self-confidence.

You cannot underestimate the effects of bullying on emotional and mental well-being. These effects stay for a very long time. If you are being bullied, please speak out. If you are bullying someone, you need to stop now.

 

Proactive Actions Against Bullying

Take note of the following tips. They’ll help you against bullying:

#1 Phrases like ‘toughen up’ does not work anymore. It is insensitive.

#2 Honest and open conversations about bullying should be routine.

#3 Write powerful affirmations and quotes for yourself and put them in conspicuous places and use them to encourage yourself every day.

#4 Establish a strong support system with your loved ones.

#5 Bullying is not okay! It is not a normal thing.

#6 Always know you are not alone.

#7 Don’t be a bystander if you see someone being bullied, step in, and speak up assertively so you can overcome bullying.

#8 Seek help.

If you are still suffering from the effects of bullying, please slow down. Don’t allow others to hurry your healing. It is a process. It may take years, occasionally even a lifetime and that’s okay.

That feeling of calm you get after you self-harm is like being high, where everything in the world looks okay for a minute. If you are self-harming, I know you are tired. You are confused and scared, and you want it to stop. As painful and exhausting as the thought of hurting yourself might be, it is understandable that; when you feel as though you have no option, doing unthinkable things becomes a choice.

Do you know you are beautiful, strong, and amazing? Even though self-harm might give you relief for a moment, it does not fix the problem you are facing.

Most people who self-harm keep it away from other people. They put up a wall and prevent themselves from being loved, validated, seen, and understood.

Apply the following tips:

#1 Speak

Your voice is powerful. Please speak up. You are a fighter and a survivor.

 

#2 Your body is proof that you can heal

The scars on your body are the evidence of your healing. Since your body can heal, your mind can heal too.

 

#3 You are never alone

When it feels like loneliness wants to break you, you need to know you are not alone. The people who love you want to understand how you feel. Let them in! 

 

#4 There will be low moments, and that’s okay

There will be days you take some steps forward and some steps backward, but it’s all part of healing. Falling will make you stronger, more capable, and wiser.

 

#5 Don’t give up

Your story is important. Don’t give up. Your story will heal others and give them a reason to be hopeful.

beautiful and bruised.

Life is good only when you give it a trial.
