Welcome back to another video! How do you deal with stress and sadness in\r\nyour life? According to Daniela Kaufer, associate professor\r\nof integrative biology at the University of California, stress plays a very important\r\nrole in pushing you to optimal levels of alertness and cognitive performance. However, constantly being under high levels\r\nof stress is bad for both your body and your mind. These are six signs of your psychological well-being\r\nis at risk. ONE. Worrying a lot all the time. Do you feel like you are on high alert all\r\nthe time? Are you over-worrying about things that you\r\ncan\u2019t control? If you are worrying and fretting more than\r\nusual, chances are that your mental health is at risk. Worrying that turns into anxiety can interfere\r\nwith your everyday life. When your mind is under siege with worry and\r\nfear, this can affect your relationships, life at work, and your motivation as well.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nTWO. Feeling guilty or worthless. Do you constantly think that you\u2019re a failure? Or think everything wrong that happens in\r\nyour life is your fault? Feeling guilty and worthless is indicative\r\nof depression. You might have had very strict parents who\r\nhad extremely high expectations, or you might have been surrounded by a group of friends\r\nwho constantly made you feel bad about yourself. Such interactions can heavily affect your\r\nmental health and self-esteem. THREE. Having difficulty readjusting to home or work\r\nlife. Have you experienced a traumatic experience\r\nand can\u2019t seem to readjust to your home or work life? Experiences such as the loss of a loved one\r\nor natural disasters can have an extremely negative impact on your psychological well-being. According to Jeremy McAllister, from Hakomi\r\nExperiential Psychotherapy, experiencing traumas moves your energy levels away from their natural\r\nbaselines to extremes, whether these are high or low.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThe reason why you have trouble readjusting\r\nafter a traumatic experience is that your body has become used to these abnormal levels\r\nof energy. FOUR. Pulling away from people. How long has it been since you last went out\r\nwith your family or friends? If you are starting to isolate yourself from\r\nothers, then your psychological well-being could be at risk. You might be dealing with shame or depression\r\nand want to retract from people for a bit to process your thoughts and feelings. Taking time for self-care is perfectly okay. But if you find that you are in isolation\r\ntoo long, try to get back out there and see some of your friends. You might get stuck in a downward spiral if\r\nyou are by yourself for too long. FIVE. Substance abuse. Have you recently started, or increased your\r\nconsumption of alcohol or drugs? This can be one of the biggest signs that\r\nyour psychological well-being is at risk.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/flywait.depress1on.hop.clickbank.net\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.pexels.com\/photos\/6382633\/pexels-photo-6382633.jpeg?auto=compress&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;h=650&amp;w=940\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nWhen you use drugs or alcohol in excess to\r\nnumb the pain and escape reality, then that is when it becomes a problem. You might think that consuming substances\r\nmight make you feel better and help you cope with the problems that you are going through. However abusing drugs and alcohol can impact your\r\nmental health as it can affect your motivation levels, mood, and sense of reality negatively. SIX. Suicidal thoughts. Have you recently started having suicidal\r\nthoughts? This is one of the main signs that your psychological\r\nwell-being is at risk. Thinking about suicide is a clear indicator\r\nyou are most likely having a mental health problem. Whatever the reason for feeling like this,\r\nyou must remember that there are many people out there who are willing\r\nto help you. You don\u2019t need to force yourself to handle\r\nthis burden alone.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nCall a suicide hotline or seek help from a\r\nmental health professional if you are struggling with thoughts of suicide.
