 This Reflection Paper is all about Mental Health awareness. As soon as I

understood the objective of mental health, I identified several important matters that need

attention. I am writing this Reflection Paper to share my experiences, Learnings, and why

I am emotional at that time and happy. There are activities that we did last Oct 11, 2022,

and there are 10 sections that I participate in and perform. While performing it, I have

realizations. Back then, I was incredibly lonely and unworthy, but one day, knowledge hit

me so hard that it brought me back to reality. It reminded me of how happy I used to feel

among non-toxic friends when I was a teen and enjoying my life, our lives don't depend

on anyone. I realized that we need to take care our self when we feel unworthy just

remember that we are worthy, and we need to be passionate about our goals in life.

My experienced that day was a happy and unforgettable moment because, some

sections ask me what problems I should let go of and write with the paper and burn it,

there is also a tree of life in which you will write the name of the person who keeps you

strong in roots, and hopes and dreams in branches. While in the trunk you will write what

you love about yourself. lastly, leaves where you write those people who help you or

support you. There are also activities that you need to guest the feeling that the

representative act, and tongue twister message relay. In section 9, I shared my story of

how I felt and thought that I am not lucky in life. At that moment I realized that I had a

problem and was so stressed about everything because I am too emotional person that

simple things hurt me.

Way back in the pandemic when I have a problem, I wrote it in my diary and that

could give me less stress because I am afraid to share it with others because I'm afraid

that they judge me. Now, I realized that it's okay to share with others as long as that
person will be trusted. But now that I am here in Gingoog City every night I always

overthink because I have no one here to talk to about my personal problem, I missed my

family so much and that could always overthink me. I'm afraid again to share because I

don't trust them too much, but on that day of our activities about mental health, I have the

courage to share my problems in life since there is an instructor that could give me

advice, I felt afraid also because there are people that unknown to me but I'm happy

because they understand me and advise me.

I thought that I'm aware of my Health, but it is not, because of some pieces of

advice that they tell us I realized that I have so much to change, the way I'm thinking, my

routine, and even the foods that I eat. Is it okay to express yourself or open yourself to the

person that you trust, when you did not express it, you will be stuck and depressed. I

already experienced it so I must overcome my afraid of sharing and change my life

routine to express my feeling and help myself.
