Hey @Kowarenai
Feel free to private message me if you want to ever chat - even if just to get somethings off of your chest, or to ask for suggestions. I'll still give a simplified response here though:
Yes, everyone should be emotionally healthy...but naturally not everyone is (sad truth of the matter). Being emotionally healthy isn't about putting on a facade, or being "happy" all the time though. People who seem "happy" (or any single emotion) 100% of the time are likely just hiding feelings from you. We all have various emotions and it is normal to experience them (even potential feelings of sadness, anger, loneliness etc.). Life isn't all peachy and a bed of roses. There is a time for everything. Being emotionally healthy is more about addressing those feelings in a healthy manner - regardless if they are "happy" or "sad" or whatever else.
I'm sorry to hear things are how they currently are for you, but I can assure you that things usually do get better and if they occasionally don't, then dealing with it can become slightly easier.
Having a mom in the hospital (etc.) could be a sad thing, but you feeling this is normal. It would be less "normal" not to feel at least a little sad. Same thing goes for your loneliness during this time. You experiencing loneliness when home by yourself if a normal reaction to the situation.
If you do seek professional help (psychologist or therapist etc.), then I'm confident they will usually be of help, but sometimes even just having a support system of some kind works well too. It could sometimes be as simple as openly sharing your feelings with a friend. I don't know enough of your personal life to say what will apply best for you and what won't, but you know what you are going through and that is what matters.
I hope that everything turns around for the better

I'm sad that you are in such a difficult time. Some things you can do to relieve stress
1. Speak to a friend, just talking with someone will help you, assuming you don't reach out to someone that isn't sympathetic.
2. Doing activities, you said this in your post but just doing some different things for a while can put your mind in a different place.
3. Know what you are going through is normal ( sort of) I agree, most people aren't going through what you are but a lot of people go through other things which make them not want to eat stuff and things like that.
I hope you feel better!
how should i try to stay emotionally healthy? i know this is not the place and such things are pretty dynamically stated like just going to a therapist or psychologist for help but i wanted to have some advice and will post this on the other site as well. lately as i did say in my latest blog things were not going well. i have been developing a addiction to tea, using it as a way to calm down from my current situation where everything's horrible.
my mom is in the hospital currently while my dad who was supposed to take surgery luckily healed and is back home safely which is good news for me but not entirely. we did clean-out my apartment and finished throwing some things away just in time for inspections and payed other things like water, rent, and etc. i am still dying inside for some reason having this weird turmoil and sense of emptiness just being alone for these couple of days in the apartment. i was building and trying to take my mind off but i still cant help but feel desperate and annoyed that idk how things will get or where i will be.
my mom could die given her behavior and lack of acceptance towards help while my dad is going to stick around hopefully for a few more years. been keeping a journal with me to recap these few last weeks and nothing much has happened except a new lifestyle but i again just feel empty and even burnout when writing this. my sister already talked and they agreed to bringing a psychologist or therapist to heal me in a way from these years.
the relationships are complicated but some abusive experiences have happened which just led me to not care anymore about the same conversations making me feel in a endless loop of misery. i did visit her once i believe last week but i don't feel like ever visiting her again despite being my mom as i cant save her anymore and my only reason for being there was to help her realize her mind is messed up and she has to accept help.
i don't know if my eating habits or sleep schedule has been impacted much by these last few days but i have been feeling less tired and more limited with what i eat. i barely eat much of anything now compared to before where i would gobble whatever food i could find and snuff it like a pig. now i just drink specific things, eat barely any dishes, some sweets, a few sodas, tea, and water with a new bottle i found while cleaning the place.
i have been feeling a bit more active doing certain schoolwork, chatting with 1 teacher and playing chess with a art teacher nearby to try and take my mind a little off. the counselor does know a small detail but again everything is just kind of dead silent with me barely speaking much to anyone, rather making some comments then looking around at whatever garbage i can imagine until its finally time to go home and i guess relax.
at my last OTB event i did talk with the organizer and we did talk about certain things involving my life and played there just to relax and have some fun. it was kind of pleasing as my mind did wander off a bit and i did eat my favorite dish back home when i came back empty handed so i was still a bit cheered. my mom was disappointed as always cause i play for money and didn't bring the top prize today but i just stopped caring.
in these last few hours i haven't done much or thought about anything, going to school, working on some things as i said earlier and going home. didn't eat much of anything as usual but went to go get a haircut then to a McDonalds and am now writing this in my bed near 1AM here. i feel in the void kind of like i just don't know what to say or how to feel as i know i am not crazy but i am just sort or burnout and dead about everything.
whats your opinion? i really would appreciate any thoughtful advice at this moment
