My counselor taught me those "grounding" exercises, where you pay attention to how both of your feet feel on the ground. She told me to do this because I was getting anxiety from negative thoughts. My counselor also told me that, in times when I feel anxious, I could look around at my surroundings and describe everything that I see. This brings a person back to the present moment, focusing something in "real" time; because what Douglas Bloch always says, "The future isn't real, it hasn't happened yet." 💕

Only if I found this channel years before I went to school, trauma is real and I'm finding ways to love myself more

I've dealt with this my entire life and lately the negative thoughts have been overwhelming. I needed this desperately.

I typically have more negative thoughts at day for some reason. At night I feel so happy to be at peace in bed alone. But it really does affect my productivity massively :(

It's like Psych2Go's titles can read minds and put out possible solutions

I'm having a day and my thoughts are torturing me again, so this was an absolute beacon upon my seeing it. Thank you!

This is something we all didn’t know, or was afraid to admit, that we needed this. Thank you Psych2Go 💕

I've struggled with this longer than I'd like to admit. It's easy to get in your own head but it's difficult to deal with it. I find that talking to trusted friends or family helps me but it can be hard to find people that are there to just listen when the time is right instead of giving me advice on how to resolve my negative tendencies.

The timing is perfect! I just opened a message of a friend telling me about a problem and now I know how to deal with it better. Thank you! :)

I like that when they give examples they aren’t simple, they are realistic and relatable examples that lots of people feel- like not being able to afford college or overthinking messages from friends or strangers.

Lack of self esteem accounts for a lot of negative emotions often caused by failure and rejection.

i was just crying and having these negative thoughts inside my head these few weeks..and just now i cried and i accidentally tap on this video notification.. its just fate that wanted me to watch it..i can't believe how relatable it is.

There are sometimes when these negative thoughts just put me in a "little panic attack" situation where I just can't feel comfortable anywhere inside the house. If I stay inside a room for too long, this situation only gets more intense and even more intense if the room is dark. It also makes time feel like it's slowed down so I get more stressed thinking this situation is never going to end, but there are some times where time feels like it goes too fast so I get worried about wasting my time and feel like the walls are narrowing down and it makes me want to cry for no apparent reason. It's even more stressful at night but it tends to go away by morning.
