8 Signs You’re Mentally Breaking Down

Upbeat music, Instructor, Hey, Psych2goers, Welcome back to our channel. Thank you for your love and support. Your ongoing support helps us further our goal to spread awareness about mental health and psychology. So thank you Now onto the video. Do you feel tired foggy and have trouble concentrating, Or maybe you, ‘ve, been feeling depressed? Haven’t been, getting enough sleep or, too much, sleep While these symptoms, can happen to anyone, once in a while piled: together they can make for some classic signs. You may be mentally breaking down, You may have heard of the term mental breakdown or nervous breakdown. You may have even been guilty of using these terms casually, They’re no longer used as clinical terms by the medical community And a nervous breakdown is not considered a mental illness. Instead, it’s generally viewed as a period when an overwhelming amount of stress affects an individual’s ability to function. This stress can be physical or mental, And the symptoms of a mental breakdown can subtly sneak up on you and grow out of control. If you don’t catch the signs early enough, to help better your mental health, let’s catch these signs early on and see if we can figure it out together. If you’re mentally breaking down, Sign number one, you sleep too much or not enough. Do you find yourself suffering from insomnia? Do you spend your nights tossing and turning with no relief, Or maybe you’re, getting too much sleep? Do you think to yourself? I’ll just lay my head down for one more minute And then you wake up to the lights of your clock. Reading 5 00 pm. Oh boy, Who hasn’t had too much sleep at some point in their life right? We most often sleep in on the weekends after a long week of work or when we’re sick, But the thing is our mental health can be sick as well, And our sleep patterns may be affected because of it. You may be using sleep as an escape from reality, So sleeping in seems much easier to handle than the difficulties of reality, Or maybe you begin to exhibit symptoms of insomnia because your brain is too overactive at night with stress, You could be playing out situations or Scenarios in your head that you’re stressed beyond belief about Try instead to unwind before bed Odds. You’ve heard it before, but a good book and a cup of tea is a good place to start. If you can’t seem to sleep lately, The less stimulation, the better Just don’t watch TV or get on your phone before bed. We need to first wean ourselves from an overly active brain to a calm one by choosing less intense activities to transition to sleepy time. If you go from sprinting to an immediate stop, you’re likely to fall, You might first slow down, walk, and then stop to a finish. It’s the same with going to bed kind of Number two: you show signs of anxiety and depression. One of the most and signs that you’re mentally breaking down is showing symptoms of depression or anxiety. Maybe you feel you’re tense. All the time dizzy or find yourself ruminating on stressful ideas or situations, or maybe you find yourself suddenly crying for no reason or feeling an intense emotion like guilt. These signs are important to catch early on as they could pile up leading to a mental breakdown. If you already suffer from anxiety and depression and notice, your symptoms are worsening, these could be signs that you’re mentally breaking down as well Number three brain fog, Brain fog. What is that, While it’s, not a medical condition, it’s a term that’s often used when one exhibits, several symptoms related to their ability to think. Perhaps you have difficulty concentrating, Or maybe you’ve been extremely indecisive or disoriented. These past few days or weeks, Even memory loss is a symptom of brain fog. Number four is poor hygiene. If you suddenly find yourself neglecting your hygiene, it could mean something is going on. Poor hygiene can be a sign of self-neglect. You may just feel that you, don’t have the energy or don’t feel the need to take care of yourself as much anymore. A sudden lack of hygiene can be linked to depression or mental disorders. It’s best to recognize when something is wrong early, so you can seek out help Number five you withdraw from social events and friends. Have you found that you’re just not so up to hanging out with your friends this weekend next weekend or the weekend after that? Maybe you dread going to that, get together with your friends this Saturday, And the task of getting ready, sighs pain’s taking your heart Well withdrawing from your friends and social events, could be an added sign that you’re mentally breaking down. Humans need socialization, And when this is compromised, our mental health can pay the price Try getting back to socialization. Slowly, if you find it difficult to Reach out to friends through text, or share a funny or insightful video, then maybe a phone call Isolating ourselves can be one of the biggest mistakes to our mental health that we can make. So after this video call your mom text, your friends call a mental health helpline if needed, reach out, and share this video with your uncle Larry, He’s not doing anything. Just don’t mentally isolate Number six difficulty breathing. Do you often and feel this tightness in your chest or find yourself breathing rapidly? Maybe you’ve been taking quick, rapid breaths more than usual, as a response to stress. Go ahead, pay attention to your breathing right now I’m waiting. Are you breathing calmly and relaxed, or are you having difficulty breathing? This is another sign of stress And another sign that you may be mentally breaking down. Stress can get the best of us. Anxiety has a way of finding us when we least expect it Our breathing. Can often identify if we’re, indeed suffering from anxiety, And taking the time to slow our breathing and relax may even relieve some of the stress we carry day to day Go ahead. Take a deep breath In one two: three Out one: two three sighs Feel better. I know I do Number seven, you feel physical pain as well. Maybe you’ve happened to notice that you’ve been suffering from one too many headaches per week. More like seven per week per day And that stomachache can’t seem to go away. Physical pain can often show up when we’re severely stressed. This can be in the form of a light headache every day to a blaring migraine That feeling of a knot in your stomach. That could be stress too, Of course, if these physical symptoms of pain persist and feel like something more than just stress, it’s best to talk to a doctor right away, But if you still feel the emotional pain persisting as well, that is just as valid A reason to seek help from a mental health doctor And number eight you suddenly eat too much or too little Sudden changes in appetite can be a sign of stress as well. The stress hormone cortisol can suddenly cause us to crave certain unhealthy foods high in fat and sugar. So when we’re extremely stressed, bring up the family, size, bag of potato chips, and a tub of ice cream, Hey every one of us can overeat on a bad day now and then, But when this becomes every night odds, are there’s some Suppressed stress you need to confront, Remember we may neglect self-care due to stress, which means we may not want to put in the effort to prepare a healthy, breakfast or dinner, Be aware of this and try to tell yourself that simply spending some time in the Kitchen, making your favorite healthy dish can have some serious benefits to your mental health. Try some deep breathing! As you put your dinner together, You can try staying in the present by focusing on the task at hand to distract yourself from ruminating on those worrisome. Thoughts Make another healthy sandwich for a friend to share while watching a movie, But then once the movie is over turn off the TV and wind down with a book, Your sleep will. Thank you for it later. So do you exhibit any of these signs? Did you practice your deep breathing along with me, or maybe you’ll, reach out to your mom or a friend and share this video?

As found on YouTube Anxiety disorders, phobias, and chronic panic attacks affect millions of people all over the world. Often, treatment consists of medications used to reduce anxiety, but these medications don’t work for everyone. Many people are too afraid to explore the real reason why they have anxiety or they’re too embarrassed to seek medical attention. Instead, they suffer for years struggling to learn how to cope with this condition, alone. More often than not this results in the person avoiding many of the places and activities they once loved because they’re so afraid they’ll have a panic attack in public. If you’re tired of trying new medications that don’t work or you’re looking for an all-natural approach to anxiety treatment, the 60 Second Panic Solution program can help.

Anxiety and Depression: What’s the Difference?

Hey, Psych2Goers! Before we begin, we want to give every one of you a big thank you. We, at Psych2Go, are individuals who work hard every day to provide quality content for you all to see. Thanks to you, we are closer to reaching our goal of making psychology more accessible to everyone. Now, onto the video. Anxiety and depression may be confusing, especially if a person is struggling with both. These mental disorders can be comorbid, meaning someone with depression, can also have anxiety symptoms and vice versa. But first, what exactly is anxiety and depression? According to Medical News Today, anxiety disorders occur when a person regularly feels disproportional levels of distress, worry, or fear over an emotional trigger, while depression is a mood disorder characterized by persistently low mood in a feeling of sadness and loss of interest. Living with both disorders can be challenging. Let’s have a look at the different and common symptoms of anxiety and depression. Some anxiety symptoms are, but not limited to, excessive and ongoing worry and tension, an unrealistic view of problems, a sense of impending danger, panic or doom, restlessness or fatigue, the need to go to the bathroom frequently, and insomnia. Some depression symptoms are, but again, not limited to, the feeling of being hopeless, the loss of interest in things, or activities you once enjoyed, appetite changes and weight fluctuations, insomnia or hypersomnia, suicidal thoughts or attempts, and self-harming. Some common symptoms between the two appear to be insomnia, fatigue, and irritability, all of which impair your ability to perform everyday tasks. Both mental disorders, although different, share symptoms making it difficult to understand which is which. The differences can be observed in how anxiety and depression manifest. Anxiety disorders are oriented toward the future. It is characterized by excessive fear and worry, which in turn, will affect the person’s behavior. This occurs when people overestimate the danger in situations. In severe cases, people will avoid the situation that causes them anxiety. Individuals can experience sensations of impending doom or feeling on edge 24/7. If the anxiety disorder is not controlled on time, people can experience panic attacks, and their daily functions will become affected.

Depressive disorders, on the other hand, are oriented towards the past. People tend to fixate on negative situations that impact them. Individuals experience diminished interest in most activities if not all. Physically, depressed people can exhibit psychomotor retardation. This includes slowed speech and decreased movement. Depression also affects sleeping patterns. People will either sleep too little, which can lead to insomnia, or too much, which can lead to hypersomnia. Individuals with depression have feelings of worthlessness, guilt, or emptiness. In severe cases, people will have recurrent thoughts of death, and suicide, or make attempts to do so. We hope this video helps you understand what you or a loved one may be going through. Please, keep in mind that if you’re struggling with either or both disorders, you are not alone. Asking for help does not make you weak. So, please don’t feel ashamed to do so. If you think you may be exhibiting signs of anxiety or depression, please see a licensed professional.

10 Signs Your Mental Health is Getting Worse

[Upbeat Music] Hey Psych2Goers, have you ever thought about joining our team of animators or writers? Or perhaps you want to start an animation channel of your own? Are you looking through as many YouTube channels as you could for tutorials and tips, but wasting a lot of time on some not-so-helpful ones? Skill share is a great place where you can earn new things with their online classes, and they have courses on animation as well! Click the link in the description below to get your free trial of Skill share Premium! Hey Psych2goers and welcome back to our channel! This video is suggested by one of our viewers, Army & Blink! Thanks for the suggestion! Now let’s get started. Have you been wondering if your mental health is possibly getting worse? Mental health, just like physical health, affects everyone whether you are suffering from a mental illness or not. Your mental and emotional health can fluctuate from time to time depending on the stresses going on in your life. So, it’s always a good idea to check in with yourself and try to gauge the direction your mental health is going in. With that said, here are ten signs that your mental health is getting worse. NUMBER ONE. You’re losing interest in the little things. Do your favorite activities suddenly seem meh to you? If you’ve started to lose excitement for life’s little things, then this is a sign that your mental health might not be at its best. You might be feeling this way because of an overload of stress in your life, or you’re feeling overwhelmed with all of your responsibilities and to-do lists. When you lose interest and don’t enjoy the hobbies and activities that you once did, this could also be a warning sign of depression. If you think this could be what’s happening to you, know that you are not alone, and that help is just around the corner. Talk with a trusted friend a family member, or a mental health professional to get the help you need to navigate these troubling times. NUMBER TWO. You get overwhelmed easier. Do you find that you’ve been getting overwhelmed more often than normal? When you have a to-do list for two or three tasks, does it feel more like you have ten things to do? When you start to get overwhelmed easily with everyday things, this could be a sign of worsening mental health. According to Psychotherapist, Sheri Jacobson, feeling mentally overwhelmed could be an internal reaction to excessive outside stress. To help cope with this overwhelming feeling, you can journal, meditate, or practice mindfulness. NUMBER THREE. You don’t feel like socializing that much anymore. Does it feel more exhausting to interact with people nowadays? Regardless of whether you’re an introvert, extrovert, or somewhere in between, we all have a standard comfort level when it comes to social interaction. If you feel yourself slipping below your comfort level, pay attention to this. Remember that even if it doesn’t feel that way at the moment, interacting with people can help boost your mood! We want to mention that we’re happy to have skill share as a sponsor today because they really promote the idea of a self-made you. Are you planning to learn a new skill, perhaps on illustration, animation, or writing? It would be great if everything you need is all in one place, right?

The first 1000 people will get a free trial of Skill share Premium and after that, it’s only around $10 a month. Let us know what Skill share courses you’re taking in the comments below. FOUR. You don’t have a consistent sleep schedule. Have you developed a seemingly random sleep schedule? Despite wanting to get up at a certain time in the morning, do you wind up sleeping all day? When you have an irregular sleep schedule, this could signify increased stress in your life and a decline in your mental health. If you’re struggling to regulate your sleep, you can try setting up a routine to wake up and go to bed at the same time every day.

This will get your body back into its regular rhythm of sleep and wake cycles, therefore no longer causing sleep disturbance. FIVE. You always feel drained. Despite getting enough sleep and eating well, do you constantly feel exhausted or drained? According to Healthline, mental exhaustion can set in when you are under long-term stress and this type of exhaustion can make it feel like you are trying to move up a mountain. More than just feeling tired, when you are this drained and constantly exhausted, you might struggle to get anything done. Healthline suggests practicing gratitude, relaxation, and yoga, as well as talking to a mental health professional to provide medication for you if it’s needed. Treatment plans will look different for everyone, but regardless, there is a way that will work best for you to help pull yourself out of this state of exhaustion. SIX. Your anxiety seems to be increasing. Do you wake up in the morning with a crushing sense of anxiety that stays with you all day? Does this anxiety cast a cloud over your daily activities? Worsening anxiety can often coincide with worsening mental health. Anxiety affects us all, whether or not you happen to suffer from a particular anxiety disorder. It’s important to monitor your anxiety levels because a noticeable change can tell you a lot about your mental health. Anxiety is a response to stress and it can cause a variety of psychological and physical symptoms. When you feel overly anxious, you might notice that your heart rate speeds up and your breathing rate increases, and you might experience a bout of nausea SEVEN. You feel mentally and emotionally scattered. Do you feel like there are so many things happening around you, but you can’t focus on any of them? If so, you’re not alone. From time to time, it’s normal to feel this way, especially when you are going through higher amounts of stress. However, if you are feeling scattered and like things are spinning out of control, this could be a sign that your mental health is under strain. According to Psychologist Rick Hanson from Psychology Today, you probably feel scattered because you are struggling to find your center. This means that in order for your brain to feel more organized, you need to feel at peace within yourself. Practicing mindfulness, such as yoga and meditation, are great places to start on the road to inner peace. EIGHT. You can’t seem to pay attention. Do you have a harder time focusing and staying on task? When you’re reading, is it hard to comprehend? Do you have to reread the same passage over and over again? Though it could relate to potential psychological disorders such as ADHD, depression, or anxiety, it is also likely that a lack of focus can be due to stress or poor self-care. It can be frustrating to start losing focus so frequently and those feelings are valid and normal. Remember to take care of yourself and, as you recover, know that help is available. NINE. You might be struggling with your impulse control. Are you acting more on impulse? Are you possibly indulging in things you shouldn’t? Whether it’s retail therapy, or binging all of your shows, or playing video games for hours, when you act more on impulse like this, it can signify worsening mental health. You might pick up some unhealthy habits as a way to cope with life stress, fulfill yourself, or distract yourself from a major issue going on in your life. Journaling, mindfulness, and therapy are great ways to start uncovering some of these issues! TEN. You are struggling to feel grounded. Similar to feeling centered, when you are grounded, you are feeling confident and balanced within yourself. According to Irene Langeveld, an energy worker, and meditation coach, grounding starts with the root chakra at the base of the spine, known to help you feel secure. Activities that connect your body with the world around you– such as hiking, meditating, or walking outside –are all great ways to help you find your sense of grounding! Can you relate to any of the points made in this video? Do you think your mental health could be slipping? If so, know that there is help you can reach out to. You can talk to a trusted friend, family member, or a mental health therapist for support. Please like and share this video if it helps you and you think it can help someone else, too!

Daily Routine To Fight Off Depression

(upbeat music) – [Narrator] Hey Psych2goers, welcome back to another video. Thank you so much for all the love and support that you’ve given us. Our mission is to make mental health and psychology more accessible to everyone. Today, we’ve invited Emma McAdam, a licensed marriage and family therapist shares her insights on depression and some tips on how to cope with it. Her channel is therapy in a nutshell, you can check it out in the link in the description below. With that said, let’s get started. History of depression in my family and myself, just like physical health, you have to maintain it by taking care of your body with exercise eating the right food, and going to the doctor when you’re injured or ill. With mental health, you also have to take daily action to be healthy. And when things are stressful, I have to take extra care to manage my mental health. So for example, when I was in grad school or when I was pregnant or postpartum, and right now when we as a global community are fighting a pandemic, we all have to take a little extra care of our mental health. What I’m going to talk about today is more about maintaining mental health than it is about getting out of the deepest pit of depression. When you’re deep in a depressive episode, it can be really hard to see any light. It feels like you’re at the bottom of a pit and can’t imagine what it feels like to be out of it. At that place, often, all you can do is tiny steps and hopefully get some help to get out of there. So don’t allow yourself to get overwhelmed by my routine. Just choose one little thing to start with and then take the next step when you can. Number one is the morning routine. So the first thing I do every day is get on my knees and pray. I express gratitude for the day of my life and for the opportunity I have to do good in the world. And that connection with God for me helps me feel loved and purposeful throughout my day. If you’re not religious you could do some meditation or a breathing exercise here. I try not to look at my phone first thing in the morning because I wanna start my day intentionally, the way I want it to be. If I open social media I’m letting others choose what I take in and that could be positive, negative, stressful, uplifting, or critical. And so I just choose to start my day with some quiet time. I do a little reading and then I write out my goals and priorities for the day. And right now with all the news, that’s frightening. I choose to listen to the news around lunchtime, once a day so that I don’t get constantly stressed out and have time to process it during my waking hours. And speaking of waking hours let’s talk about sleep for a minute. I have three kids, five and under. So I usually wake up before them to get some quiet time to set my intention for the day. My natural wake-up time is around 5:00 a.m. I don’t usually set an alarm, but to wake up I often go to bed between 9.00 to 10:00 p.m. I’m not fighting my natural biorhythms. I just listen to my body. And this is the schedule that works best for me. Many people, might have different sleep needs or different schedules. Sleep is super important to managing depression. There’s a massive correlation between sleep problems and depression. Lack of sleep can cause depression and getting good sleep can let your brain heal from depression. So I value my sleep. I have old friends who nicknamed me 905 because I often go to bed at that time. And I miss out on some fun for sure, but it’s what keeps me healthy. So it’s worth it for me. For each person, your sleep needs are different but getting enough sleep can make a big difference. One study found that 87% of people with depression who resolved their insomnia significantly decreased their depression symptoms. Number two, get dressed and showered. So after waking up refreshed and taking quiet time to pray, study, and set my intentions for the day, I make sure to get showered and dressed. I found that this can be hard when you’re depressed, but being clean and dressed helps me feel more energetic and gets rid of my excuses. I mean, if I have yesterday’s makeup all over my face and I’m wearing PJs, it makes it hard for me to want to go out and see friends or be social or get things done. So just get dressed for the day. Then I take my multivitamins. And if I remember I take my omega-3 supplements, and nutrition is an important part of my routine as well. I try to eat a lot of plants and not too much sugar or processed foods, but I’m not going to go into that too much right now. Number three, exercise. The other essential part of my mental health maintenance is exercise. There’s so much research that proves that exercise is great for mental health. It helps clear brain fog, and it helps reduce stress chemicals in your brain. I feel like when I exercise, it just works through a backlog of pent-up emotions and I can feel my body relax.

I think it also helps me deal with anger and frustration. And I just like it. I know a lot of people exercise in the morning, but for me back when I worked full-time, I used to always go climbing or for a hike or run after work. That’s when I needed it the most. And it was hard for me to get motivated in the morning but by afternoon, I was looking forward to it. Now that I’m a full-time mom, I have to be more creative in how I get my exercise in. I often just work out in the yard, gardening, digging in the dirt, and running around the yard with my wheelbarrow, or I’ll do some yoga on TV or go for a walk with my kids or pull them behind my bike. Now that we’re stuck in our homes with the coronavirus pandemic, I’m doing more inside workouts. I like the seven-minute workouts on my phone or The Fitness Marshall on YouTube. Number four is nature time. This takes me back to another aspect of my mental health routine that is important to me. Outside time. I need nature. I need to see the sky and soak in some sun. I’m fortunate to live in a beautiful place. And I take advantage of that by getting outside. There is some research showing that sunshine nature and being outside change our physiology. It slows our heart rate and decreases the stress chemicals and stuff. But regardless of the research, I can just feel the difference for me. If you can’t get outside, open your windows, and sit on your porch. Or if you can’t do any of that then you can spend some time looking at beautiful landscape photography or a nature film. Your brain can bring to mind the feelings of nature just by imagining it. Number five is my evening routine. My evening routine looks like getting my kids to bed and then taking some quiet time for myself. I usually take a hot bath and read a book or an archeology journal. I’m kinda nerdy, but that’s what I like. Even though I have very few hours to work on my passion project, these videos, I don’t usually work in the evenings, because it would just stress me out a little and I need the downtime to stay healthy. So then before bed, I write in my journal, I often take the time to write about my wins and accomplishments of the day so that I can remember them because it’s my natural habit to dwell on my mistakes and shortcomings. So I write about my wins and then I pray a prayer of gratitude and talk with my heavenly father about my day. Again, gratitude practice is an essential habit of mental health, and it’s been shown to be an effective treatment for depression. So you can pray about it like me, express gratitude as a family, which we do at dinner time, or write about it, whatever works for you. And then I go to bed. I try not to spend too much time looking at screens before bed, but if I do, I choose some calming documentary or a mudlarking channel like Nikola Whites. If you don’t know what mudlarking is, it’s just finding historical bits of treasures on themes in London. Anyway, I find it relaxing. I encourage people not to be on TV because it’s just not super great for your brain. But if you do choose a short and calming show. Lastly, other self-care. For me, that includes scheduling and some time for my hobby. I have tons of hobbies, but because I’m so busy with kids I don’t have time to do most of them I make sure to carve out about two hours a week to do at least one of them. Right now that’s metal detecting which is something fun and relaxing for me. I put it on the calendar so that I make sure it happens. I also take the Sabbath off, no work, no housework. I don’t check my work email. I let my brain completely focus on other things. Mostly my family, which is also exhausting, but it’s a day that is different from the others. And I make sure to have social time as well. Having social interactions is essential for mental health. Our brains are inherently social. We are social creatures. So right now this is going to be an extra challenge with the Coronavirus. I’m taking the time to call up old friends. I have some groups I’m hanging out with on Zoom and when we’re not on lockdown I meet up with friends to let the kids play or to go out to lunch or whatever. So there you have it. My daily routine to maintain mental health. I have a careful morning routine. I make sure to get enough sleep. I get dressed every day. I exercise and get some outside time, I carve out time to relax each evening, practice gratitude, and acknowledge my successes of the day. And once a week, I make sure to get out and do something just for me, stress, anxiety, and social isolation can all contribute to depression but you can prevent depression during stressful times like the pandemic and social distancing by using daily habits that promote mental health. Depression is treatable and there are some simple things you can do every day to prevent depression and stay mentally healthy. I hope you can find some things from this list that help you figure out a way to maintain your mental health. Today, this week, and during the crazy pandemic that we’re going through. And remember, you’re braver than you know and stronger than you think. Thanks for watching and take care.

7 Signs You Have Abandonment Issues

Hey Psych2go family, welcome back to another video. Do you have an overwhelming fear of losing your loved ones? Do you distrust other people or have anxiety about being abandoned? Abandonment issues typically arise in childhood but can develop later on in life as well. The fear of abandonment is a serious type of anxiety that often stems from a traumatic experience. Some aren’t even aware of their repressed emotional trauma. But it can manifest into unhealthy behaviors over time. So, here are 7 Signs You may Have Abandonment Issues. One: you’re a people pleaser. Do you want to impress everyone you meet? Whether it’s your friends, acquaintances, or family members, you try to meet their expectations to get on their good side. You’re the one who tries harder in your relationship, and you’re willing to put everyone else’s needs ahead of yours, as long as it gets them to stay. If you have a strong need to please people and gain their approval, you may still have some unresolved abandonment issues. Two: you struggle with insecurity. Do you sometimes think that someday, the people closest to you will get sick of you and leave? People who are afraid of being abandoned often struggle with feelings of insecurity and inadequacy because someone you love has walked out on you in the past. You’ve internalized the emotional trauma. You may have wrongly believed that it was YOUR fault that they left. This can result in low self-esteem and a need for constant reassurance. Three: you find it hard to trust people Do you find it hard to trust others to keep their promises or to be there for you? Do you want to be in control of your relationships and know everything that’s going on with your loved ones? Because you’ve been hurt in the past, you have a strong fear of being left alone. In certain cases, it can lead to feelings of unreasonable jealousy, suspicion, and possessiveness over your friends and romantic partners. Four: you’re afraid to be vulnerable Do you feel uncomfortable during moments of emotional intimacy and honesty? Are you scared of getting close to someone or needing them too much? Your deep-seated fear of abandonment may manifest into a fear of intimacy and emotional vulnerability. You may unconsciously sabotage your relationships by pushing people away just as you start to care for them. You may struggle with commitment, and act detached and indifferent when you do care.

Five: you look for reasons to leave. Do you always look for reasons to leave in fear of getting too attached to someone? You hold your loved ones to unrealistically high standards and you only focus on their flaws. You don’t give them any room for mistakes. You do this knowing that they’re bound to disappoint you. And when they fail to meet your expectations, you use it as an excuse to give up and leave. Six: you move on too quickly Do you have difficulty forming meaningful relationships that last because of a deep-seated fear of abandonment? When you cycle through relationships one after another and move on too quickly, you’re not allowing yourself the time and space to deal with the emotional fallout. Instead, you dive into something new and exciting to distract yourself. You never want to be alone, because it would force you to confront the personal issues you’ve been repressing for so long. And number 7… you cling to unhealthy relationships Do you find yourself gravitating towards all the wrong people? Have you stayed with someone knowing they’re bad for you? The trauma of being abandoned, especially at a young age, can stay with you for a long time. And since we’re all hard-wired to recreate our early childhood experiences for comfort and familiarity, your childhood taught you the wrong things about love. It’s not uncommon for you to be drawn to people who treat you poorly. Do you relate to any of the signs mentioned here? I know I did… Is a fear of abandonment harming your relationships and keeping you from being happy? Let us know in the comments below.

10 Things Only Depressed People Will Understand

Narrator Hello, Psych2Goers, Did you know with the recent movement on mental health awareness over the past few years, people are gradually coming to understand more and more about matters of depression, anxiety, trauma, and other mental disorders? There’s also less stigma surrounding the need for therapy and mental health care. Nowadays, thanks to the countless public figures who have bravely spoken up about their struggles with mental illness, Do any of your favorite celebrities come to mind Still? There remains a lot unknown about the true nature of depression: the world’s most common mental illness And even more it’s, only those struggling with it. That can truly understand So with that said, here are 10 things. Only depressed people will understand the Number one difficulty with communicating your emotions Within the depths of depression. There may reside complex emotions such as sadness, hopelessness, helplessness, anger, fear, shame, and guilt. Further still, depression might manifest as an unending sense of emotional numbness and desolation, Either way. Putting your feelings into words and communicating them with others is a constant struggle when you’re depressed, especially when loved ones are asking you how you feel or how you’re doing because they suspect something is wrong. You don’t want them to worry, But when you’re in the clutches of depression, you just don’t know what or even how to tell them Number two the guilt of not having a good reason for being depressed. Well, why are you depressed? What do you even have to be depressed about? In the first place, Sound familiar, Perhaps one of the most difficult things about having depression? Is the pain of being misunderstood or judged? Do you agree? Depression needs to have a tangible reason, Though. You understand that depression is something that affects people of all ages, genders races, classes, and social backgrounds. You still can’t help but feel guilty when others judge you for not having a good reason for being depressed. Number. Three, the anger over constantly being told I understand: Do you find it hard to believe when others say they understand what you’re going through? Another thing not talked about enough when it comes to depression is how frustrating it can feel to constantly be told by others that they understand when all you want na do is tell them that unless they’ve been diagnosed with depression themselves and been inside Your mind: no, they don’t Just because they’ve felt really sad sometimes or this terrible thing happened to them once upon a time does not mean that they know how it feels to have clinical depression Number four, the pain of losing your love And passion for life: How long has it been since you picked up a paintbrush or strummed a tune? The American Psychological Association states that the defining feature of clinical depression is markedly diminished interest or pleasure in all, or most all activities Simply put. This means that when you’re suffering from depression, it’s a struggle for you to find joy or enjoyment, even in the hobbies and activities that you once loved so much It makes you lose passion for life. Depression makes you unable to feel motivated to do anything anymore, and so it robs you of even the simplest of life.’s pleasures Number five, is the frustration of not being able to just snap out of it. Have you been told that a few days of rest can cure depression? One of the many reasons why depression is such a devastating mental illness. Is that a lot of people don’t understand its true nature? They think that people who are depressed can just snap out of it or just need to think more positively. There is no built-in switch for this. Your feelings are every bit as real as they feel You’re not obligated to feel any other way just because others, don’t feel the same Number six. The compulsive desire to self-isolate. Why do counselors and therapists alike? Stress the need for those struggling with depression to have a good social support system, Even though you understand the need to be surrounded by supportive loved ones. The truth is when you’re depressed, you, ‘ll most likely feel a compulsive desire to isolate yourself from others, With no energy or motivation to engage in social interactions. You tend to prefer isolation. Constant difficulty with communicating and finding enjoyment in things leads to struggling with feelings of low self-esteem and self-worth Talking to people, and staying in touch can often feel too overwhelming. When you’re struggling with depression, triggering a need to withdraw from society in general Number. Seven people think depression is the same as sadness. Sadness is part of a healthy spectrum of human emotions and is quite normal to feel from time to time.

Depression, on the other hand, is a serious and debilitating mental illness that needs to be treated with professional help and therapy. These things are not all the same, and yet some people just can’t seem to grasp the difference. This can often feel very frustrating, especially when others disregard what you’re feeling as mere sadness and tell you not to think about it. Number eight people not understanding that mental illness is real. Many people still seem to think that depression is a choice and a mental illness. Isn’t real, But just because there are no physical manifestations to see doesn’t mean that the suffering you feel is not real. It’s, not just in your head. If you’re able to feel it, then it is very much real When others downplay its potency. It often leaves you feeling, as if you’re doing something wrong. As a result, you may even choose to remain silent about it. Instead, Number nine people think depression is the same for everybody Every individual’s. Experience of a mental disorder is different from Depression. Doesn’t look the same for everybody. Some people might stop eating and struggle with insomnia, while others might overeat and oversleep. Some people have high-functioning depression and may not even seem like they’re struggling at all for others, their depression might force them to lie in bed all day and do nothing. Nevertheless, all experiences of depression are valid, And number 10 learning to celebrate the little things. Finally, but perhaps most importantly, when you struggle with depression, even the littlest of victories deserve to be celebrated, Got outta bed today, smiled Managed a short conversation with someone Took the time to brush my hair, or take a bath. Give yourself a mental pat on the back. Those are all very, very important achievements for someone with depression. They might not mean much to other people, But to you struggling with mental illness on an everyday basis. They make up the good days that remind you why you need to keep fighting and why it’s so important to keep holding on It.’s important to remember not to allow others to dictate how you should feel Just because others are not feeling the same does not make it any less real. There’s no need to cover up or force yourself to change these feelings. The fact that you’re feeling it is reason enough to validate it If you are struggling with depression or any other mental illness. Please know that there is always hope and help and that someday things can be better.

10 Signs Your Mental Health is Getting Worse

Upbeat, Music, Hey Psych2Goers, have you ever thought about joining our team of animators or writers, Or perhaps you want to start an animation channel of your own?

Skillshare is a great place where you can learn new things with their online classes and they have animation courses as well Click the link in the description below to get your free trial of Skillshare Premium, Hey Psych2goers, and welcome back to our channel. This video is suggested by one of our viewers Army Blink. Thanks for the suggestion Now let’s get started. Have you been wondering if your mental health is possibly getting worse? Mental health just like physical health, affects everyone, whether you are suffering from a mental illness or not. Your mental and emotional health can fluctuate from time to time, depending on the stresses going on in your life, So it s always a good idea to check in with yourself and try to gauge the direction your mental health is going in With that said, here are Ten signs that your mental health is getting worse NUMBER ONE, You re losing interest in the little things. Do your favorite activities suddenly seem meh to you? If you’ve started to lose excitement for life s little things, then this is a sign that your mental health might not be at its best. You might be feeling this way because of an overload of stress in your life, or you’re feeling overwhelmed with all of your responsibilities and to-do lists When you lose interest and don t enjoy the hobbies and activities that you once did. This could also be a warning sign of depression If you think this could be what’s happening to you know that you are not alone and that help is just around the corner. Talk with a trusted friend or a family member or a mental health professional. To get the help you need to navigate these troubling times NUMBER TWO: You get overwhelmed easier. Do you find that you’ve been getting overwhelmed more often than normal? When do you have a to-do list for two or three tasks? Does it feel more like you? Have ten things to do When you start to get overwhelmed easily with everyday things, this could be a sign of worsening mental health According to Psychotherapist, Sheri Jacobson, feeling mentally overwhelmed could be an internal reaction to excessive outside stress. To help cope with this overwhelming feeling. You can journal meditate or practice mindfulness NUMBER THREE. You don t feel like socializing that much anymore Does it feel more exhausting to interact with people nowadays, Regardless of whether you’re an introvert extrovert, or somewhere in between? We all have a standard comfort level when it comes to social interaction If you feel yourself slipping below your comfort level. Pay attention to this. Remember that, even if it does t feel that way at the moment, interacting with people can help boost your mood. We want to mention that we’re happy to have Skillshare as a sponsor today because they promote the idea of a self-made. Are you planning to learn a new skill, perhaps illustration animation, or writing? It would be great if everything you need is all in one place right? Well, Skillshare has thousands of catered courses across all kinds of topics like design, business, tech, and more. There is truly something for everyone. Skillshare has a great intro class on animation that we recommend The course is called Creativity, Unleashed, Discover, Hone and Share Your Voice Online by Johannes Fast. If any of you are interested in learning basic animation, I recommend you go check it out. In the link below The first 1000, people will get a free trial of Skillshare Premium and after that, it s only around 10 a month. Let us know what Skillshare courses you’re taking in the comments below FOUR You don t have a consistent sleep schedule. Have you developed a seemingly random sleep schedule, Despite wanting to get up at a certain time in the morning, do you wind up sleeping all day When you have an irregular sleep schedule? This could signify increased stress in your life and a decline in your mental health. If you’re struggling to regulate your sleep, you can try setting up a routine to wake up and go to bed at the same time every day, This will get your body back into its regular rhythm of sleep and wake cycles, therefore, no longer causing sleep Disturbance, FIVE, You always feel drained Despite getting enough sleep and eating well, do you constantly feel exhausted or drained According to Healthline mental exhaustion can set in when you are under long term stress and this type of exhaustion can make it feel like you are trying to Move up a mountain More than just feeling tired. When you are this drained and constantly exhausted, you might struggle to get anything done. Healthline suggests practicing gratitude, relaxation, and yoga, as well as talking to a mental health professional, to provide medication for you. If it s needed Treatment, plans will look different for everyone, but regardless there is a way that will work best for you to help pull yourself out of this state of exhaustion. Six, Your anxiety seems to be increasing.

Do you wake up in the morning with a crushing sense of anxiety that stays with you all day? Does this anxiety cast a cloud over your daily activities? Worsening anxiety can often coincide with worsening mental health. Anxiety affects us all whether or not you happen to suffer from a particular anxiety disorder. It s important to monitor your anxiety levels because a noticeable change can tell you a lot about your mental health. Anxiety is a stress response and it can cause a variety of psychological and physical symptoms. When you feel overly anxious, you might notice that your heart rate speeds up and your breathing rate increases, and you might experience a bout of nausea. Seven. You feel mentally and emotionally shattered. Do you feel like there are so many things happening around you, but you can t focus on any of them? If so, you’re not alone From time to time it s normal to feel this way, especially when you are going through higher amounts of stress. However, if you are feeling scattered and like things are spinning out of control, this could be a sign that your mental health is under strain According to Psychologist, Rick Hanson from Psychology. Today, you probably feel scattered, because you are struggling to find your center. This means that, for your brain to feel more organized, you need to feel at peace within yourself. Practicing mindfulness such as yoga and meditation are great places to start on the road to inner peace. Eight, You can t seem to pay attention. Do you have a harder time focusing and staying on task When you’re reading? Is it hard to comprehend? Do you have to reread the same passage over and over, Though it could relate to potential psychological disorders such as ADHD, depression, or anxiety? It is also likely that a lack of focus can be due to stress or poor self-care. It can be frustrating to start losing focus so frequently and those feelings are valid and normal Remember to take care of yourself and, as you recover know, that help is available NINE. You might be struggling with your impulse control. Are you acting more on impulse? Are you possibly indulging in things you should t, Whether it s retail therapy or binging, all of your shows, or playing video games for hours? When you act more on impulse like this, it can signify worsening mental health. You might pick up some unhealthy habits as a way to cope with life. Stress fulfills you or distracts you from a major issue going on in your life. Journaling, mindfulness, and therapy are great ways to start uncovering some of these issues. Ten, You are struggling to feel, grounded Similar to feeling centered when you are grounded. You are feeling confident and balanced within yourself. According to Irene Langeveld, an energy worker and meditation coach grounding starts with the root chakra at the base of the spine known to help. You feel secure Activities that connect your body with the world around you, such as hiking, meditating, or walking outside, are all great ways to help. You find your sense of grounding. Can you relate to any of the points made in this video? Do you think your mental health could be slipping If so know that there is help you can reach out to You. Can talk to a trusted friend, family member, or mental health therapist for support? Please like and share this video if it helped you and you think it can help someone else too.
