Mental Health

Many are faced with a surprising new feeling.
Depression and anxiety leave many reeling.
Our mental health is typically triggered by a life altering event.
It will make us confused and cause our reality to get bent.

This pandemic surely does qualify as such.
Lives have been altered as we all feel the touch.
You are not alone and you never will be.
There will be light at the end, please trust me.

My battle started ten years ago.
A massive heart attack dealt me a massive blow.
I trained my brain to dealt with each bout.
My Doctor and Prozac helped me find my route.

Don’t suffer and panic like I used to do.
Seek out help it will pull you through.
It doesn’t matter if you are eighty or eighteen.
Watch out for the demons brought about by this Covid 19.

I'm sorry you have suffered in the past Mark but your poem is one of hope that with help you can get better. I think many will be affected by this pandemic, if not by the virus but by having their lives turned upside down and i know many folk are struggling:-( hugs jan xx

I am clearly on the look out for the demons, and tossing them aside as easy as flies as they try to steal the honey from my attitude. What a fantastic reminder.
