What can I do when I notice a slight abnormality in a nearby person?

Have you accumulated your feelings in the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic? The changes that occur little by little over time are hard to notice. Men Tal's problem tends to be self-responsible, and I think that more and more people are losing room and tolerance from the world, and are feeling difficult to live. We can be aware of someone's hardship and work with them. I would be glad if you could use it as a hint when thinking about the mental health of yourself and people around you.

Is there anything different from the people around you?
①Do you feel uncomfortable in your appearance, such as clothes, body shape, and facial expressions?　
②Are you complaining, frustration, aggressive and other punishment statements, troubles, etc. increasing?　
③Are there any more coping actions such as tobacco, alcohol, gambling, and overeating?　
④Is there any change such as vague, increasing mistakes, avoiding exchanges, increasing late, leaving early, and absent, leaving without going out, or decreasing activity?　
⑤Are you complaining of poor physical condition, such as laxity, ease of fatigue, insomnia, increased or decreased appetite, headache and stiff shoulders, palpitations and dizziness, stomach discomfort, constipation or diarrhea?

You can just convey the feeling that you care about it. If you have a close relationship, the English greeting "How are you?" "and "How do you do?" "How about these days?" You can just ask it lightly like "Is it okay?" If you are obviously ill, "What happened?" "What's wrong?" "Are you sleeping well?" I think you can ask specifically, "Are you eating properly?" (If you simply ask "Is it okay?", You may draw out the answer "OK!" without wanting to worry.)

You don't have to try to solve it in a hurry. Let's talk in a calm environment so that you can talk with peace of mind. When you confess your worries, concentrate on listening and take the words as they are without denying or criticizing them. In other words, we respect the feelings of the other person without deciding on right or wrong. If you can't express it in words well, I think it's much more healing for you to be silenced rather than giving extra advice. If you can nodd and hit a hammer, repeat the complaint because it can be returned with a parrot, or listen while checking the content you understand, you will feel more comfortable to talk.

Don't hold what you have been consulted alone. If you are stuck due to your complaint, facial expressions, or speaking, please provide information on consultation counters and consulting agencies. You may be able to save yourself from a pinch by providing support. At that time, it is a good idea to tell them that they will continue to be involved so that they will not be misunderstood that they have been abandoned.

Men Tal's problems are affected by the surrounding environment, especially human relationships. "I don't agree with you." A well-ventilated workplace team that embraces diversity while valuing harmony and respects each other as "One for All, All for One," I want to aim for reasonable work, sustainable work, and sustainable life.
