> Today is world mental health awareness day. I hope everyone in the NFB of OH
> is doing a regular check of your mental health. Many of us are advocates for
> ourselves and others. This is critical work that we feel strongly to help
> with but it is important that we maintain good mental health practices so we
> can remain strong advocates. Remember, your mental health is as important as
> your physical health. Here are some questions you can ask yourself on a
> regular basis to complete a DIY mental health assessment.
> 
> 1.    Have I been getting quality sleep with regular bed times and getting
> up times?
> 2.    Have I been isolating myself from others at work, friends, or
> family?
> 3.    Do I have more worries or anxiety than usual?  Maybe use a scale of
> 1-10.
> 4.    Have I lost interest in activities and pursuits that usually held my
> attention?
> 5.    Have I felt more sad than happy lately?
> 6.    Do I feel at ease with myself and my surroundings?
> 7.    Do you feel that your life is appropriately balanced between work,
> fun, friends, family, self-care, exercise, and other meaningful pursuits?
> 8.    Do you have trouble concentrating?
> 9.    Have you been experiencing significant mood swings, crying, or
> thoughts of suicide?
> 10.    Are you overly fatigued or tired at the end of the day?  How about
> at the end of the week?
> 11.    Has your appetite or eating habits changed in any way recently?
> 
> You can keep a journal to track your overall mental health.
