I used to compare myself and dwell on the negative aspects of my life but it’s incredible how powerful changing your mindset on the world can help. Taking myself out of the victim mentality and taking back my power and control of my life truly made all the difference. To people still working on these habits consistency is key just keep going 💛

My mother compares me to others and that has ruined my self-confidence completely

What made me fall deeper into depression is not asking for help. I always had the thought of "You should know how to..." when I try to reach out for other people. It's not a bad thing to ask for help once in a while, it can also be easier to get through difficult obstacles and situations.

Thank you for this! ❤
After I was diagnosed with depression and OCD, having accounts on social media made my getting through of my disease even harder. I used to compare myself with my social media friends and I often see negative news. But now I decided to erase all of my socmed accounts and I am living life to the fullest, with more peace of mind and less worries. This is the life that I want and would always want.

1.) Always comparing yourself to others.
- this can really affect your self esteem. Remember that everyone is unique in their own way and that you don't have to compare yourself to others.
2.) Keeping negative thoughts.
-always overthinking about bad things. Remember that it's not healthy for you.
3.) Not knowing how to say "no".
-you find it hard to say no because you're afraid that you will disappoint others
4.) Blaming others all the time.
-not holding yourself accountable for your wrongdoings.
5.) Keeping and not letting go of toxic relationships
-you stay on a toxic relationships or you give them a second chance to hurt you again. You should know your worth and don't let anyone hurt you!
6.) Not asking for help.
-keeping problems to yourself because you feel like a burden if you ask for help or you're afraid cause you don't know how they will react.

Virtual hug for everyone who's going through a hard time right now!!❤️🤗🤗 things will get better soon.

I have a lot of negative thoughts, but escaping to the realm of fantasy or sleeping dreaming is my escape from negative thoughts.

This video must have been reading my mind this morning. It hits on every single thing that I’ve been drained on. Thank you so much for creating this video!

Number 6 describes me the most. I don't even ask for help cause people think they are entitled to cashing in on favors. I done everything my entire life without asking for help, especially when hurt, sick or going through difficult moments

I love how y'all approached #3: by giving the strategy of "first thank them for coming to you for this, second straight-to-the-point say no" it makes it feel like there is a more structured way to do it rather than more vague words such as "don't stress it it just say no", thank you for the assistance 🤗💜

Prior to social media, I was never satisfied with anything. Due to a lot of the posts on social media, I was in a bad mood and anxious.
Then I decided that it is best to Iposted less on social media and only checked certain things. I

I have more energy each day, I wake up more focused, and I am in a better mood. I use my time more wisely and I have less stress and less anxiety. Life is better without social media.

I'm 75 and STILL hve not learned to check who I let into my life as "friends". They are usually people who hve no friends and are selfish users. I never learn. No wonder I get depressed. It is hard to change a mindset. I know I am soft.

[ADRIENNightcore]

I can relate to all... This is a problem.
But not 4. I usually blame myself for stuff that really isn't my fault.

Mental health is important because it affects all aspects of life. Starting from how to think, make decisions, solve problems to act. If the mental state is imbalanced, it can possibly interfere with physical health. Therefore, mental health needs to be worked on. So, for this reason, some bad habits need to be reduced because they can worsen your mental health.

I grew up in a toxic home where my mother would always constantly compare me to my sister's and her friends kids she made me feel like, they was something wrong with me but I'm older and now left trying to heal past wound's 💚

Truth - self is the most precious thing

Not gonna lie but I do almost half of the things in the list. I'm worried for myself but hopefully I'll have the courage to find help or ask for it.

1. I compare myself a lot because my mom asked me why I can't be more like my best friend. So I constantly compare myself to her. 2. I keep negative thoughts so I can be more like my best friend. 3. I have a hard time saying no because for 18 years my mom gaslighted me into saying yes. With the help of my now husband, I am working on learning to say no. He's helping me a lot. 4. I don't do this to often but sometimes I feel like I do it way to often. 5. I didn't know how to say no, but I'm learning now, and I'm also not talking to my mom a lot anymore. 6. I'll try to ask for more help now. Thank you psych2go. You're videos help me a lot.
