Talk to someone you trust

The second way to maintain mental health is talking to someone you can trust a friend, a family member, or a coworker – might be beneficial. If you can honestly communicate what you're going through with someone who cares about you, you could feel better. If you reside in a region where face-to-face encounters are limited, a video call, phone call, or messaging app can help you stay in touch with your loved ones. People who have a strong social or familial network are often healthier than those who do not. Make arrangements with supportive family and friends, or look for activities that will allow you to meet new people, such as joining a club, class, or support group.

Talking about a situation you've been thinking about for a long time can help you feel better about it. Sometimes all you need to feel supported and less alone is to be heard. It is not always simple to put your emotions into words, so take your time to do it. If it seems unusual and awkward at first, give it time, but make it a habit to talk about your feelings.
