For those who are not (mentally) sick, but not well either; those coping while life seems stagnant and aimless -- empty. You are not alone: many others also feet this way. Now the whole world could resonate.
It turns out this meh mood has a name: languishing, the mutual absence of illness and wellbeing (#NYTimes). It happens when Fear has taken control... when hope and help are less. And it makes mental disorder more likely, even for previously healthy people.
What can help? While limited, conclusions suggests one reliable remedy: meaning. Connection. Passion. Purpose. YOUR Story.
Reclaiming negative experiences by revisiting them in a safe space repositions your power to dilute their dominance. You survived. At the time it was a difficult deal, but now you know how it goes. Now you know you can handle it. Now youre an Everyday Hero.
You can help.
Stories transform survival into a source of strength by illuminating the dark unknown, and showing it can be conquered in many different ways (by many different people). They put things into new perspectives that propel the processing and progression of the bigger picture, sparing more pain.
If knowledge is power and sharing is caring, then together we can co-create a context where courage is encouraged through one-to-one exchanges of empathy -- an app-based place for languishing Heroes to express and explore their Story alongside similar others: the Fight Fear Club.
