Sleeping a lot is often a good indication. I go through ups and downs as everyone does in life but it’s hard to understand people that are just so down that they can’t get themselves out of bed, I would never discredit what they’re feeling though, I just don’t understand being I haven’t felt it to that degree. I really feel for them though. Would be a tough existence.It would be great if there was a metric for mental health…

I don't know a lot about it but I guess that's different to each individual. I suppose the only thing you could do is to recognize or identify what aspects have the greatest impact on how you feel mentally and develop measures around those, if that's something you wanted to do. For example, a number of friends of mine say if they don't get some sort of regular exercise then it has an impact on them mentally. So if that was one of the things for you, having a target of doing an hour a day of exercise, whether swimming, walking, biking, sports etc and checking it off, leads to managing your mental health.It would be great if there was a metric for mental health
I rarely feel like my mental health is an issue but having said that, I have always had some focuses and recognized trigger points and made adjustments which ultimately, I guess, have lead to being in a good state of mind.
For me, thinking about it now, the key things that I know help me would be
Regular exercise
Eating properly
Enough sleep
Family time including eating together at the dinner table with no devices present so there is conversation
Playing card games with friends/family
I have two really good people that we can literally talk to each other about anything and we do - regularly. I'm equally comfortable being alone as I am interacting with people but if I don't discuss things that are bothering me with these guys it affects me over the long term.
Getting the work/life balance right
Everyone is different and have different circumstances. If I can do the above things as regularly as possible then I find I'm pretty good. If not, I realize pretty quickly and fix it.
So, long answer, but, I don't have a metric for mental health but I can put in place a metric on each of the main things that lead to what I consider good mental health for me. Ultimately if you don't have some sort of purpose then it won't matter?

Depression is one diagnosis in the umbrella, often co-morbid with other illnesses. And there are many types, reactive, genetic etc

Absolutely, mental health is a huge umbrella from depression through to schizophrenia to whatever to whatever. Can’t be treated from a blanket approach.
On second thoughts maybe it’s all interconnected
Your mental strength will get you to lose how ever many kilos you want. Reaching that goal will make you also feel better, improving your mental health and well being overall. It’s hard to have one without the other.

I used to love a mince and cheese pie at smoko and ate heaps. I wouldn’t have had one in about 5 years now, I still have a pie every now and then but some sort of chicken or bacon and egg. I wouldn’t have eaten red meat since then either probably, not knowingly anyway. I want to give up eating meat altogether at some point but haven’t been able to give up chicken, pork or fish. Something that’s always stuck in my mind is the Native American’s view on being particular about the meat they eat for the fear that animal has had at the end of its life. I’m from a farming family background and it’s widely known that the animals that have been poorly kept produce tough meat.
I’ve gone the opposite direction and full carnivore
Clean meat
No processed
No sugar
No carbs except for some rice
Game changer
Forgive me father if this is a sin

Sugar is the one I need to sort my shit out on.
Does being poorly kept as a human affect our meat?
Meat representative of our whole system - health, weight, mental health, etc.
Poorly kept representative of stress, poor diet, lack of sleep and exercise.
Watch this reelMy efforts so far to reduce carb intake have included switching (mostly) to the new Garage Project beer that’s 99% carb free. It lacks a bit of flavour however is pleasant enough to drink.
very good

When I was at my lowest, I bought some size 36 jeans in Dallas..... my goal is to get out of the 44 I wear at the moment and back into the 36's.
Excellent goal
