My first time doing this. And no, don't you skip the video.
Edit: can everyone just tell me what's wrong? Or else just please talk to someone you trust! Meditate and listen to music and write your thoughts! Try yoga as well. Find ways to pass time without hurting anyone or oneself. Take care

*Overthinking happened to me just last night!! :o*

*I went to bed at **11:30**, but turned out I was awake till 2am. Realization finally hit me. Where were the people I grew up with now? I kinda miss my childhood to be honest. I miss the people I used to hang out with, and yeah, surprise surprise.. I still miss my exes sometimes, but not as much since I already have someone. I just couldn’t help but remember those important people in my life that suddenly disappeared. I no longer talk to them as much, they all changed so much.*

*Theres also this one time, a long time ago. I couldn’t stop crying for maybe two months because of losing my ex. I know it sounds stupid, but they were just so special to me and I just felt special to them. But I eventually moved on I guess. Lol.*

*But right before I broke up with them, my best friend past away. Due to taking their own life. I really wish I could just go back and help them. I know they were struggling with so much but, I didn’t know what to say, nor how to stop them. They always joked about taking themselves, so the others didn’t really think about it much until it really happened.*

*Sorry if I’m being a bit chatty here. ^^”*
*I just find this.. kinda channel to be like.. a safe place to vent and or.. something like that, yknow?*
*I always just wanted to relieve all the pressure of my bottled up emotions but I didn’t want to seem like.. an attention seeker or I just didn’t want to be taken advantage of and have my problems used against me.*

*Anywho, enough with me, it’s all about you, who’s reading this. ^^*
*Remember to stay hydrated and get a good night’s rest, and remember, your not alone. ^^* 💝💕

I feel that quality of sleep is the key to many mental health issues. When properly rested you can think more rationally and feel more resilient to anything negative during the day.

When you're tired and low on energy just doing day-to-day things, anything else that lands on you seems unbearable. At times of stress, I've found a nap can help. On warm days at work, I used to sit in my car at lunchtime, headphones on listening to relaxing music and learnt to snooze for 30mins. That was enough to break the chain of anxiety and gave my whole body a chance to calm down 😴

I had all these habits before the spring semester came. And in fact, I’ve been sabotaging myself mentally. But then, I decided to at least fix one of these signs, specifically avoid isolation. Taking the lead to approach strangers is not easy for a shy introvert myself, but I tried my best and succeeded. I felt happier as my new classmates helped me realize that I’m not that terrible I thought I am. I started to feel more productive and less hold onto negative thoughts and experiences. 3000 thank you to my classmates as they are kind, patient, and supportive.

I was watching your videos when this one was uploaded, and it it was exactly what I needed. Thank you so much, and I hope that life is treating you as kindly as you’re treating others.

[alphayt]

This is so soo relatable. Im tired of worrying about other people's feelings about me.

[deborahwarne]

YES YES YES YES!! I do all of this! I don’t know how to break out of these habits that have me feeling so awful.

[xlightlessx]

Being compared to someone is just unbearable and is an absolute mood killer

Last year I failed 4 of the 5 subjects I did in the second semester of the course, even though in the first one I only failed one of them and ended up recovering it later. Now I'm taking those 4 subjects again, and I'm trying to have better habits than last year (I was really stressed and anxious, didn't do anything except studying, trying to make it work and not fail, I ended up a bit traumatized because the one thing i tried to prevent from happening ended up happening). Even though right now I'm not studying that much at the moment I'm working out, walking my dog, helping at home with chores, etc.
Today my father comes at me and tells me that that I look very relaxed and comfortable, so considering that I am repeating and "I have everything under control", he expects that everything will be super good grades.
I've left home early to go to school, tearing up with him not seeing me, feeling attacked because I'm trying to keep myself healthy physically and mentally so I don't end that messed up. He sees all of the things I do during the day as slacking off from studying and not me striving to have a healthy routine and life, especially when he is the one who calls my attention the most that I have to exercise, I just feel invisible, like no one sees my pain nor my efforts

Yep, had to face a ton of these over the years. Took a lot of work on my part to stop myself from falling into these habits, and admittedly I still fall into them from time to time.

My current vibe IS the thumbnail. With bird and everything. Legit got my bird on my head while I typed the comment feeling the same way.

Reflecting (on sadness) for a period of time can be helpful.

My parents: "Don't think about it. You literally can't think about those things!"

[hanjizoe]

I have all these Habits, and I'm actually aware that I'm unhappy, i honestly became like this because of the people around me, they've gaslighting me, Narcissist, Toxic, And i don't know how to become happy again, i didn't even have a clear insight of my dreams and goals. Specially in my new work I'm really struggling with it, they're all the same, TOXIC making me feel "Not Welcome, the wrong one" to the point i feel suffocated everyday! I'm trying my best not to feel this way but it's just can't.

[salmahaji]

I needed this video. A friend of mine has started ignoring me and not checking my messages and I was wondering wht I did wrong because the day before we were hugging laughing and talking. I'm a big overthinker and this has taken a toll on my mental health and I became moody and getting irritated 😤 of every little thing 😑. It has been like 4 days and they are always online and posting shit 😒. I even became angry at my family too 😑. I KNOW WHT U GUYS WANT TO SAY but u don't know how it feels like. So now I have decided not to care about them anymore and start living my life.
DONT OVERTHINK, IF SOMETHING IS BOTHERING U and u can't do anything about it then leave it

[drinasun]

I had all of those habits, but mainly I overwork myself.

[Rich-widn]

All of the above. I’m not sure how to actually NOT do these things. When did they teach that in school? I missed that day.

[mingmerci]

I've been unhappy for a very long time due to issues but I know happiness is waiting for me and we will meet up. I know it's going to take a lot of time and work. No matter what you are going through you can and will get passed it.

[seriouspurrsahead]

My happiest memories are always with animals. You can’t focus on yourself and be distracted when working with animals and they can’t project their own emotional baggage on you. People on the other hand, definitely drive these negative experiences and thoughts.
