Hi. Hello. My lack of drama to Leyte Island, Barakat. Hi, how are you doing? It's been long since I've done another video of are you mentally aware series? But here I am. I've been sick for a while. But Alhamdulillah, I'm doing better as you can see. But anyway today it's a lovely sunday and I'm glad I get to record another video. I get to live another day. I get to be healthy And so without further ado we're going to continue with what we have for today. But before we begin I have to have a real, it's not like the other conversation will not be real but it will be real. But that would be work learning. But here let's have a real conversation. Um How are you? Okay? Honestly speaking, how are you? I know for media sake and for appearance's sake we usually say I'm okay. I'm doing good. I'm in graffiti but today I want us to literally just have that convo how are we how are we doing? Really? How are we doing physically mentally and emotionally? Are we really good? Has something happened recently that has affected you mentally and emotionally or physically? Has something been happening to you that has been affecting you mentally and emotionally? Talk to us about it. Let us talk about these things. I think it's high time. We literally stop saying everything for appearance's sake. Let's talk about how we really feel. If something has affected you. If something has done something to you that has affected your mental health, please talk about it. Let not the world make you lie about your mental health, your mental health matters, honey, are you okay? And I want to remind you something it's okay not to be okay. It really is. We can't always be good. We can't always be fine. Some days are going to be rocky. Some days are going to be hard, tough, real rough. Some days we're going to be nearly giving up. We're not giving up. All right. We are not giving up. So let's have that conversation. Okay. Are you okay? Are you really? Let's forget about social media. Let's forget about fake friends. Let's forget about all that bad negative vibe. Let's put it out of here. Let's leave it out of our video. Okay? Let's talk about how you are, how you and I are, how you are. Especially because I'm okay. I told you I was recently sick, but I'm doing, I'm doing better and I'm grateful for it. By the way, I get to be happy. I get to live another day and I'm really happy about that. But that's not the issue. The issue is, um, let's be honest about how we are doing. Okay. Let's be honest about it. No one is going to punish you for how you feel. No one is going to punish you if something mentally it makes something makes you mentally unstable. It does. We have to a good knowledge or feeding tom. Um but before we get into that, there's this coming, there's an upcoming show and the podcast called Hakuna Matata and your lady right here will be a co host and my other co host will be squishy the poet. And I'm really I'm really glad that I'm going to bring the content to you and I just hope that I get your support. As usual. I knew I know I'm going to get your support. But let's continue with our topic. For today. We're going to be talking about support systems. Does support systems really matter in your mental health? Do you think you support System really matter? Let me hear your your thoughts on that. Let me just explain to you what the support systems are. Support systems are people or individuals that support you physically and emotionally, that are always there to support you practically and emotionally. So, my question for today is do you think um support systems are important in your mental health journey or your physical health or your emotional health? Um to me, my thoughts on this is yes. The matter, they really do matter. There's no place that you can go without support. No place. Some days we really need support for people who are going through depression, anxiety. Um, we really do need support systems really do need support systems and the support system that you have matters because if you are going through something and your friends don't acknowledge it or don't want to talk about it or don't want to help you again, that's going to make it worse. Your situation was. So today I'm going to teach you something about being a good support system. I don't want to hear about being a better but I don't want to hear it. I don't I don't it's high time we help our friends get out from dark places as CC happen where we're in a mini meet me in a way with at me, Minnie. Uh Mimi nowhere. Yes, that's right. Me and you for this to for the suicide rates to go down. We need to join our hands, me me here and you there and fight this. Fight for our friends, fight for for me to fight for our relatives. Fight for people who are going through things. I don't want to hear about being a bad support system that's not in my vocabulary and neither should it be in your vocabulary. Um Today it might be you today, it might be you tomorrow, it might be me. Why are you? Let me ask you a question? Let me frame that in a nice way so that there are no controversy symbol. Are you a good support system today? If your friend starts acting weird, are you going to be responsible and actually find out why your friend has been lately lately? She's been disappearing. She's not texting, she's not colleague, she's not the usual high person. Or lately you've seen your friend very quiet, you've seen your friend very sad. You've seen your friend going through some changes but you asked have you talked to her lately? Have you talked to your friends? Have you when a friend called you about something? Did you pick up? Did you? I want us to remove a face you know? And vocabulary. Okay, this really does anger me when someone does, you know your friend is going through something and they call you and the first thing is like who knew William when you know, I'm gonna rojo soft sand and a pretty young to move and attack unnecessarily. I really feel like that's very bad and that literally will make me lose my respect for you. Should you do that? But why why why should we do that when a friend comes to you for help? Do you think it's right for you to say such a thing? Do you do you think it's right for you to say something like that or when someone calls you weird? Is it really right to say that? Is it? If it were you today calling someone and then someone said the exact same thing. Would you have felt nice about about it? No, we wouldn't. People are going through things. People are losing jobs, losing family are losing relatives. People are getting injured, getting into accidents. People are going through a lot of things. People are failing getting bad grades, but we don't want we don't want to care. We just want to be on social media and appear to be happy. What about social media so important of our lives? Has social media out drunk our life A life has a comment, has just getting people's approval um out drunk someone's life. Just getting people to laugh over. The joke of this is just a helpless person. I'm helping. Has it out drunk to life. How do you talk to people? Are we nice? Honestly. Are we nice? You have a circle of friends. Do you know your circle of friends how they are doing? Honestly speaking. Are you there for them? Are they there for you? Why? Why is it that we're not there for each other? I'm there for you when you're going through something. But you don't want to be there for me when I'm going through something. It doesn't work like that. Honey. Let's scratch that out. We are going to be good support systems. As of now this is my declaration. And I hope you will declare to honestly speaking. Let's stop talking negative about people. If someone trusts you something they're going through, please help them. Don't be don't don't be a negative person. No, be a good support system. Talk to your friends. Text them. Actually. I've been doing that lately. I've been calling up my friends. I know we have lost contact for a while because I was a bit sick. But I've been calling them to ask them if they're okay if there's anything wrong? Are they good? And they have been responding well now this is my challenge for you. I want you to do the same call your friends to ask them if they're okay? Call your family to ask if they're okay. Mhm. Find out if your friend is okay. Be a good support system, strengthen your support system. Be close with your support system. Love your support system. Care for your support system. There are people when I'm going through something, they will be the first people I call because they are my support system and they matter to me a lot and they know that do you value your support system? Do you actually care for your support system? Do you love your support system? Do you show appreciation to the support system? So today we were we were talking about support systems and how it really does help. Mental mentally and support systems help a lot if I'm going through something today and my support system is there with me, one step at a time helping me. Our few loved cared for and appreciated and I would gladly take their hands to move from what I'm feeling. They bring that joy, They bring that happiness be a joy to someone who's going through something. Do not be a negative energy. Don't don't bring negative energy to someone who's going through something. Don't bring negative energy to anyone. That's it. Don't If someone comes at you talks to you. Listen, listen. Mhm. Be a good human, be a good support system. Let's leave all the negativity and all the bad energy and everything outside we humans for us to survive. We must help each other every day. So I'm going to leave this challenge with you. Go find out what your friends are doing. Be there for them. Go ask your friends if they're okay? Are you sure? You know everyone in your circle? Are you sure? You know how what they're doing as of now? Are you sure? You know how they are doing by you? Are you really sure? I just want to know. Are you are you sure about that? So I'm going to leave you with that. I really am. And I really hope that this challenge will be done. Your friends, the people who have been there for you from day one and we talked about fake friends. We say tonight. Talk of a vocabulary. It no more fake friends. We are not doing that. That we're too old for that right now. We are like we literally are this is the age where we either are friends or were not nothing like fingerprints. There's nothing like that. So the people who have been there for you from day one, do you know how they are? Are you sure you know, have you been talking to them? Have you been asking about their well being? Do you care for them? If you do then go find out what they're doing and how they're doing. That's my challenge for today.
