MON-মন is a non-profit organisation with a view to contributing to mental health issues and symptoms.

We want to establish mental health as an essential and approachable subject while primarily focusing on teenage mental health and crisis care

Mental health affects us all regardless of who we are, no matter how mature or how strong, or even where we come from.
Today is world mental health day and here are a couple of reminders for you

Even if it feels like it, you are not alone. If you are struggling, the bravest thing you can do is reach out to someone and ask for help.
No feeling lasts forever, nothing ever stays the same. Not the best situations and not even the most terrible ones. You have survived 100% of your bad days, and that is what made you stronger now. No matter what your anxiety-ridden overthinking brain tells you, you are enough, and no, your friends don’t secretly hate you.

Take care of yourself the best you can, given the resources that you do have. Dance to that song you love, put on mascara, ask that girl out, live, and laugh like there’s no tomorrow.
Mental health is incredibly important and yet there is still a stigma attached, even more so towards men. Nobody chooses to suffer from mental health problems and often the person hurting the most goes ignored. This has to stop.

If you feel like you’re struggling, reach out to us or express yourselves in our ventroom anonymously: https://tellonym.me/mon.aidbd.

Please don’t give up.

Have you ever heard of "𝗖𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗻 𝗳𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿"?

It is a psychological term 𝙙𝙚𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙤𝙣’𝙨 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙨 𝙙𝙪𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙣 𝙖 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙙 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙖 𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚.

Even though it wasn’t a popularised situation 𝗖𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱 𝟭𝟵 has made it appear in almost every person’s mind especially student’s mind.
They are the most affected by cabin fever during this pandemic.
Stuck with assignments, virtual classes they are in a maze of restlessness and irritability and unaware of their future. Some are on the verge of losing their sanity. Not only are the limitations of online classes financial crises are increasing day by day in households and thus student’s mental health is being ruined

You don’t carry extra pens or open your tiffin in the first period.It feels like you have to learn the art of connecting people all over again.

This uncertainty doesn’t stop here but adds fuel to your anxieties about adapting amongst the sudden changes. You suddenly feel like a pebble among the bricks which will not fit in any wall.

Sounds like another pandemic you have to face. Right?
Well, these discussions surely exposed your inner chaos which you were bottling up inside yourself. But along with that remember in the last one and a half year, our bags are filled with traumatic experiences, death of closed ones, losing friends and distractions from our goals.

The scene in the movie 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗮𝗱 where the lead heroine gets slapped by her husband is seen by a huge scale of people.

Apart from that scene, we were witnessing a fairy tale life between the husband and his wife. So, what happened about all those good moments which were shown earlier?
The fact is that the victims don’t understand the warning signs in the relationship before. The victim considers the little acts of abuses as their disagreement whereas these acts later on turn into big hazards.

Why the victims don't leave right away?

In this case, many observes 𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒄𝒌𝒉𝒐𝒍𝒎 𝒔𝒚𝒏𝒅𝒓𝒐𝒎𝒆 as one of the crucial reasons for the victims to not to leave their abusers. This syndrome is a psychological condition which convinces the victims to form a positive bond with their abusers. Victims with this type of condition might not acknowledge the abuses which ultimately drains their self worth.

We feel it is our responsibility to bring these tales to the spotlight, to give it a voice and a platform. This is to show that you're not alone, that there are many going through what you're going through. The more we speak up, the more people are going to take action.

Su***de is a very sensitive topic, often having people walk on eggshells around the topic. But conversations about su***de does not have to be so daunting, if done with the right mindset and approach. In fact, these conversations are crucial to decreasing the frequency of su***de, and we should start practising being more open and welcoming to anyone, who would like to confide in us. A simple heart-to-heart conversation could save so many lives.

So how do we start this conversation, what do we have to keep in mind?

Tithi lost her mother to Covid-19 last year.Since that day,she has been showing out-of-control rage when startled,constant thoughts and memories of death-related events,weekly vivid nightmares of her mother’s death that has been causing trouble sleeping, anxiety and a loss of interest in hobbies she once enjoyed.

The psychiatrist she contacted with diagnosed her with Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).PTSD is a psychiatric disorder that may occur in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event such as a natural disaster, a serious accident, a terrorist act, war/combat, or r**e or who have been threatened with death, sexual violence or serious injury.
It was once thought that PTSD just happens to combat veterans,but truth is it can occur in all people, of any ethnicity, nationality or culture, and at any age.

If you’re looking for a sign to not end it all, this is one.
As we enter su***de prevention week please remember that death is a permanent solution to what can be made a temporary problem.
You are loved. You are not alone. It is okay to feel lost and it is okay to ask for help if that’s what you need. I know it’s been hard and I know it will get harder. I know you are overwhelmed and the days keep dragging you down. But I also know that you are stronger than you think you are. Things may be going downhill now, but bad times don’t always last.
You’re wrong if you think that there’ll be no one who feels sad about your death and that the empty space you will leave can be filled. It won’t ever be. Su***de doesn't take the pain away, it just passes it on to someone else.
Lastly, thank you for being alive and fighting for every single day. ***deprevention

What is homesickness?

We grow up but never grow out of our homes. Even if we move out either for education, work, or a multitude of other reasons a part of us never leaves and constantly yearns for that sense of belonging.
This feeling of distress that arises while being away from your familiar environment is known as homesickness. Affecting people in both temporary or permanent forms, it is estimated that 50% to 75% of the general population felt homesickness at least once in their lifetime.
People face homesickness as a byproduct of the strength of their attachment when they leave the things they love.

Bodyshaming, seemingly 'harmless' comments one would say to another, often disguised as goodwill advice, yet they cause anything but good. They come in all shapes and forms, directly, indirectly, through family, though friends, through strangers online. The impact it has on a person's psyche is often undermined. Bodies come in all shapes and forms and everyone has the right to feel comfortable and confident in their own bodies. Let us be more self-loving and accepting of ourselves.

Generation Z has been confident about sharing their thoughts on their mental health. During this pandemic, many people including celebrities have come out talking about their days dealing with mental health issues.

Still, stigmas around this sensitive topic exist and our most trusted people, our parents, are sometimes judgemental about this. We are said that parents do everything that is good for us, we love them wholeheartedly, but when they don’t want to listen to the troubles of our inner self, we are upset. There are a few reasons behind this behavior that you should know before you misjudge your parents.
