6 Habits That Break Your Mental Health

Have you noticed yourself feeling down and drained constantly nowadays? It may be hard to identify problems related to mental health than it is to identify problems regarding physical health due to the subjectivity and intangibleness that comes from topics regarding human psychology. Because of this, it is very important to invest time and effort into ensuring good mental health. We made this video to help you figure that out!

MENTAL HEALTH EDUCATION SHOULD BE A MANDATORY COURSE IN ALL SCHOOLS

"Have you ever laughed so hard you cried?"
I have cried so hard that I laughed a bit at the end 😂

[MountDestroyer]

Wish every school around the world focused more about mental health.

[thetruth]

Who else is a perfectionist and constantly worries about if they will mess up in everything they do, even if it’s as small as texting someone back.

[chief]

I love how all teachers tell us they care about our mental health but they load us with 30 hours of work a week.

[zizitop]

I’ll just throw this out there as I really liked it when I read it:
“Don’t compare your inside to other people’s outside”
Stay strong and Rock on 🤘😜

“when was the last time you psychically exercised?” bro i cant even get out of bed

[Axomio]

Breath...
Keep calm

I may just be a stranger on the other side of the screen, but I know you'll be fine.

Maybe not today maybe not tomorrow. Maybe not even next month.

But one day you will be fine.

Be patient.

Be strong.

I know it's difficult, but try to love yourself while you wait for it. If you feel sad or helpless in any way, it's okay to cry. It is good to cry.

Someone loves you, I promise.

As another friendly human that has been trough this, I love you too.

You got this.

The problem is, that all of these play together.
Perfectionism for example is linked with taking life too seriously and regretting too often. Sometimes it even means not sleeping enough since you need to perfect things and might lose precious time by sleeping. For me personally it’s also linked to overuse of social media because having an account and regularly posting gives me a purpose

[khairulhafiz]

I just keep saying to myself "I Hate Myself". Well, it's true. I keep screwing up in some things, asking and begging for attention and can't even stop procrastinating.

[phoenix]

I'm not active on any social media sites. I took a break from social media in 2019 because of depression and I thought I would be back after few months. But as time passed I was reluctant to go back and now I don't want to go back.

[cardboardlabels]

We all wanted to end pain not life. We all hate being in pain but guess what life is temporary so is pain.
Pray, understanding creates hope and be strong, help eachother.
Words can kill but never let it kill you.
May god bless you all.😊.

After realising that i relate with all of them.

If you feel like giving up because you're not getting anywhere, remember that these are habits, and habits are a challenge to break. If I may offer a suggestion, try developing new habits to replace the old ones.
