We also launched a Korean dubbed channel since we promised to make Psych2go more accessible. As you know Korea has one of the highest suicide rates. Your support would mean a lot to us, even if you can’t speak the language.

I do all these things… No wonder I suffer from depression, anxiety, sleep deprivation, and have a hard time with my long term memory…

I do 3 of these habits: too much screen time, skipping breakfast and poor sleeping habits. I used to isolate myself from social stuff, but now I go to social places a lot and I've gotten more energetic & social. These habits really do have a huge impact on your brain, mental health and life.

Speaking of stress, I find having to socialize with other people to be highly stressful

[redwolves]

"Do you related to any of these harmful habits?"

Lady, you just described my whole daily Life QnQ

[shawty.o]

Me watching this in the dark, at night, with headphones, chocolate bar by my side, in bed at 3am instead of being at a social gathering at present

[warriordinag]

I am literally 100% guilty of all of this

[rei]

The way I felt so called out right when I read "blasting headphones". That was a nice wake up call. 💀

Because of too many Negative News on Social Media, I already have made a distance from it. It really impacts our mental health a lot.

[Hellgrinde]

Suggestions on how to change these habits would be helpful. I suspect many of us are aware its not good but don’t know how to break the habit. Or what to do instead.

[notagamer]

I’m guilty of almost all of these. This is the reality check I needed.

[TiagoMarquesky]

It's kinda hard not to have those habits while being on college, it's just breaking me apart

[BingoGoSpace]

My mental health started to become truly healthy after I stopped watching any mental health related things and feeling the world with my true heart instead. Literally.

[namewhatsthat]

These are all the habits that I used to have. I have now improved them and I can tell you, life feels better than it ever did.

The fact that this popped up on my For U page means that I definitely do all of these

[pandabytes]

One that I'm guilty of is too much screen time. I use my computer for so much... studying, relaxing, working, socializing online (I have a hell of a time doing that one in person).
While I do spend a lot of time in front of my monitor, I do at least make a point of never sitting in front of it without sufficient lighting.

Thankfully I’ve gotten much better with all of these. I used to be in a very dark place but have since come out, and am doing much better now. Keep trying your best guys, be patient, and stay strong. It gets better :)
