Under Construction - MHWA Retreat

When has my mental health been at its best? My mental health is at its best when I place everything in God's hands, and move forward. At these times I can deal more effectively with the worry causing situations that raise their heads.

When has my mental health been at its worst? My mental health is at its worst when I have find or think I have something to worry about. I cannot deal with a situation and worry at the same time.

What caused these highs and lows? Worrying, over thinking, or obsessing over situations I cannot do anything about or handle on my own.

Have I noticed any trends in the state of my mental health? I have noticed that over the past few years I have tended to place more situations in God's hands. I used to worry about things that came up when I did not need to worry because they either worked themselves out or I discovered the solution at the point I needed it.

How do I use the history of my mental health to get myself through lows and maintain highs? Prayer, meditation, and writing. I usually do not like to talk about my worries with other people. I prefer to either write about them or place them in God's hands. My grandparents always placed everything in the hands of the Almighty, and difficult situations always turned out for the best.
