What does good mental health look like? For my particular issues good mental health for me has the following attributes:
* Respond appropriately to adverse events
* Care about myself as much as I care about others
* Recognize and accept situations I cannot control
* Appropriate expression of sympathy and empathy
* Absence of self destructive behaviours
* Apply shame and guilt appropriately
* Accept all emotions as they come and process in a healthy manner
What things would others add?
I posted this in depression 'cuz that's what I have. Will happily accept feedback if there was a better spot.
