I would say I have good mental health. That was not always the case. A number of things have turned the tide for me. 1. I found some "active" shit I legitimately enjoyed doing: playing music, writing, walking, iyengar yoga 2. I walk a lot 3. I do yoga intensely once a week 4. I keep a journal 5. I learned how to manage my emotions from a powerful book called "The Anger Management Workbook for Men" by Aaron Karmin, and embracing it changed my life and enriched it in ways I absolutely never could have predicted 6. I have found a couple of communities that I am a part of None of this stuff happened overnight, but the shift into the right direction started occurring a lot more quickly than I expected, and the not feeling like complete shit all the time, the extremely poor and sometimes very destructive coping mechanisms, they are a work in progress, but I am so much closer to my ideals than I could have expected in such a short time. If I had to pick one to recommend, it would easily be the Karmin book. Best investment I've ever made.
