How can I improve my mental health?

Hi nursultantulgyakbay,

That is a very good question!

From experience:

Getting enough sleep: I find that I can be extra sensitive or emotional if I haven't gotten enough sleep the night before.
Exercise: exercise really helps release endorphins (the feel-good hormones) which can help reduce stress and tension
Meditation: There are a lot of great guided meditation videos on youtube which helps to teach us how to slow down our thoughts
Reaching out for help: speaking to a trusted friend, family member or even your doctor are great places to start. Even looking for a mental health professional can help guide you on your journey.

I hope this helps!

Hi, welcome

I see you already have some factors listed by Missep.

In addition I would add (if appropriate)

Career change
Workplace change
Removing toxic people from your life
Building defensive walls around you and adding filters to new people entering your life
Good diet
Stable spouse relations
Financial stability (1,5,10 year plans)
Hobbies and sports.
