Elle here, thank you so much for watching this video! I had a lot of fun drawing in the original Psych 2 Go style, and I'm really glad to see that so many of you are happy to have it back! (⁠人⁠*⁠´⁠∀⁠｀⁠)⁠｡⁠*ﾟ⁠+

The saddest part is when we tell our parents about our mental health they just ignore it by saying 'focus on your studies, these feelings will vanish by time.'

Who else is happy that she brought back the OC version?! It's my favorite style from her in my opinion.

My parents aren’t as strict as some people, but I can relate to all of these points so I may be wrong. A conversation I had a few days with my mom, “did you put deodorant on?” “Yes.” “What deodorant did you put on?” “The one in the medicine cabinet.” “Are you sure you put deodorant on?” “Yes.” “I think you’re lying.”

One thing I’ve noticed about myself recently is that I don’t really know who I am or what I like. I act differently around different people, and my “me” is usually just an aspect of myself bouncing off the vibes of those around me. I can’t even figure out how I feel now. I write something, I stop and think, and then I realize that what I just said doesn’t feel right.

Edit: I was lying about the deodorant. I just felt like I was being interrogated over something so small. It hurt a little bit.

I feel criticized everyday
My parents don't let me go outside and to sleepovers
I feel better at school
I'm feel Mentally abused









Another effect i have from strict parenting is the lack of sanity i tend to go insane sometimes

[the_UF]

I suffer from all 6 listed, and due to being treated with too much freedom after the abusive figure was out of life, I dived straight into a downward spiral which I'm still trying to climb out of. If anyone can relate, please, do all of us a favor and like this so we all have a reminder that we are not alone.

Having grown up with controlling parents, I find that I value independence above anything else. When I'm around others, so often I tend to feel like they want my energy, my focus, my listening and caring - but don't give back in kind. I often wonder if this is because, growing up with controlling parents, my needs and feelings weren't really a priority or part of the family decision-making process. "You need to do what we expect of you -- and we expect you to subvert your needs to please us."

Remember that being a very strict parent does not mean they have bad intent. Some do, but some really love you and think it's the best course of action. I know not everyone grew up with the same loving parents as I did, but, remember that there are people who love you and care for you.

I match these signs very well. My parents are strict. I didn't say were, I said are. And before you say they are probably strict and loving, I accidentally mentioned stress and family members in the same sentence, and within a second my dad was pinning me to a corner by my shirt collar, almost choking me. The ADHD doesn't help (I've been diagnosed, but my parents believe it went away, despite all logic. It's a similar story with depression, except I was never diagnosed. It's been a long 5 weeks. And it definitely doesn't help that I lost someone a week ago. I can't just leave, either. I have no resources, no close friends, nowhere to run. It feels like I'm stuck, biding my time until something eventful happens.

I can relate to every single one and once I leave the house I feel like a bird being set free from its cage! What hurts the most is I live with relatives and they treat me like shit, they’re way of showing “love” is so aggressive. :(

[theliftexpert]

My father was an authoritarian,
I developed the following that I have worked on and discovered the wrinkles that needed ironing out of myself.
-black and white thinking.
-alcohol addiction, I use to binge drink to soothe my emotions and escape reality.
-inability to set boundaries for myself and how others treated me, resulting in extreme behaviour and suffering in silence.
-great achievements by looking after my career and excelling, while not looking after myself and health.
Being raised by an authoritarian parent is a blessing and a curse, I encourage everyone to learn about yourself, your curses and work on ironing out the wrinkles that this upbringing caused you .
Best wishes to all ❤🙏🏻

Mom was extremely paranoid about the pop culture we consumed. Anything that didn't get her stamp of approval was evil and bad and stupid and we were supposed to think ourselves above such horrid forms of entertainment. She created so many forbidden fruits that as soon as I was able, I watched as many violent movies as I could, the bloodier the better. During my college years, I'd feel like I was "rebelling" whenever I watched an R-rated movie even though I logically knew I was an adult and I could watch whatever I wanted.

Another day, another melt down because my parents suck and these videos help me realize it

[reaper_of_the_crimson_knig]

My story is that growing up I always had help available with projects, be it school or other things. As the years passed I realized that the ‘help’ I had with my projects where more: “do it this way and you’ll get a good result” except I wanted to try things a little differently by using my own ideas to learn what did and didn’t work and why. When I tried to incorporate them into my projects then, according to my mother, her ideas were always better, she was never wrong, and because she was older she had the final say. I’m glad to have finally moved out for that reason (among others) but even now she still tries to ‘help’ even if I don’t ask for it. She can ‘help’ by letting me learn how to handle things on my own, because now I’m behind on experiencing how to make and go through with my own decisions.

Is no one going to talk about how CALMING HER VOICE IS???!!!?!?!???!!!??

[dudeguyrockfan]

I've noticed codependency in myself. personally, my parents were very extreme with expectations and would drop you like a hot potato and leave you just to float around if you didn't live up to them. Now I'm 26, single, barely have a social life, and don't really know or care what I do with my life. Wich is both, stressful and awkwardly freeing.

[Zalithiel]

I was raised in a semi strict home- 26 now and I'm definitely very sneaky... I am also abit of a perfectionist in things I DO choose to do, sometimes to the point it takes me awhile to get it done. Also several times growing up where I felt like anything I did just 'wasn't good enough'. I don't think it came from a bad place at all, my parents were just basing things off how they were raised and truly thought it was the right thing.

[donbishop]

The key to parenting is consistency. The rules can't change day by day. Strict but also loose. Define the rules clearly and stick to them. Make exceptions in some cases. Give the kids choices. Let them pick between 2 or 3 things for dinner. Give them chores and rewards for completing them. Raising kids is easy peasy if you're consistent. They basically raise themselves if you do it right.

[NealBones]

As someone who is still fairly new too parenting, I love watching these types of videos from you to help remind me of certain perspectives like this one. As someone who had parents so strict I still get anxious to ask about things because I just know I'm getting told no, I have to keep on myself not to pass that onto my daughter

[keiron.]

My mom has always been toxic to the point I don't care what she say or does to me anymore it can't be any worse than the scars I already have my advice is if your going through the ditch your parents you may love them but it never changes
