In spite of all the awareness initiatives, hashtags, and influencers discussing mental wellbeing why is it even more difficult for individuals to utter the words “I’m not okay”?

The first thing is we are living in the society where everyone are selfish here. and nobody cares us except our family members. and the another thing is if we express our problem to someone then they will listen and after some days they catch your mentality and people plays with our emotions so many people are afraid of saying i am not ok instead they say i am ok.

Some many hear to our query some many take it as advantage and use as . We can only discuss the problems with the family members not with others even if they are known to us . It is okay to be alone without discussing with others and try to solve it by yourself.

People still think that if they say " I am not okay" then others will start targeting his/her mental health for any issues.

Even with all the awareness, many people still find it hard to say “I’m not okay” because of fear, stigma, or feeling misunderstood.
Talking about mental health needs more real support.

That’s because there is indeed not much awareness at the deeper level. People just have superficial knowing about mental health, in depth noone knows what exactly happens when someone is going through a situation of hardship. Till today, people use the word stress, anxiety, depression and OCD like it’s a casual talk. Nobody knows the real meaning of each word and how it manifests and how we actually know who’s going through what. All of us are busy building our own lives that the power of humanity has drastically gone down. The noise mostly comes from the people who are not warm-hearted and the genuine ones are silently doing their things. As responsible humans, we all need to talk about it not just to show our credibility, but to truly uplift someone. We are forgetting that in one moment, all the achievements and victory can go away as life slips through, the only thing that will remain is the energy of kindness one leaves behind. If someone says I’m not ok to someone, suddenly the windows of judgement get opened and by default we get this thought that this person is crazy and then we will create a distance. It’s time we look into these matters seriously in our surrounding, as tomorrow it can be us or someone close to us. Empathy is needed, not sympathy for situations like this. Only then, someone will feel comfortable to say I’m not ok, as that person will know for sure, he/she will be taken care of.

It is very essential to express ourselves, if we are not okay , we shoud say it out loud to our people.

Even though many people talk about mental health these days, saying “I’m not okay” is still not easy. We feel scared that others might judge us or think we are weak. Some people around us don’t really understand how we feel, so we keep everything inside. Sometimes, we just want someone to listen without giving advice or asking questions. That’s why many people still find it hard to say those words, even when they are hurting.

The pressure to appear “strong” still make vulnerability feel unsafe and uncomfortable for many individuals. It’s always okay to ask for help. Everybody needs help.

Sometimes, even with support around, the words feel too heavy, too real, or too exposing.
So while awareness is rising, the emotional safety to open up is not always present.
