Been mentally fit should be the topmost priority of every human being because maintaining mental wellness has great benefits to the whole body. So we all must learn how to guide our mental health jealously and care for it just like we care for our valuable items.
What everybody cares about nowadays is how to earn more money and live in luxuries. Some people even work round the clock so as to earn more, forgetting that their mental wellness also matters. Their ideology is that their body isn't responding negatively to their work and whenever they are weak they will take pain killers, so they are strong enough to do anything. They never knew how the issue of mental health can be if they don't take good care of it.
Everyone knew that adulthood can't be compared to childhood at all, we all knew it's a very stressful stage of life in which lots of effort and time has to be dedicated to our daily activities so as to survive on earth.
Nevertheless, our mental state of well being can't be ignored, it's even more important than the physical appearance because it controls the body and once the mind is sick the whole body will be deteriorating.
For me, I hate to be bothered and as well be put under unnecessary pressure cause once that happens, both my physical and mental wellness will not be stable and anyone that knows be very well would definitely know that something is bothering me because I will be aggressive and irritated by a little thing. So to maintain sanity, I cultivated some healthy habits to help me cope in the world today.

Mind my business: I always mind my business wherever I find myself, I don't involve myself in every conversations because when problem starts I can't stand as a false witness to what I don't know. So in other for me not to tamper with my mental wellness, I stay off lots of unnecessary discussions that can't add value to my life.
Speak out: Whenever I'm bothered about anything I speak out to people that can help me solve my problems. I don't keep problems to myself at all, cause I can't allow depression to be the order of the day for me. So once anything beyond my power is happening to me, I quickly seek help from elderly ones or health practitioners.
