6 Subtle Signs You Have STRONG Mental Health (Even If You Don't Think So)

It is very easy to fall into the loop of feeling like our mental health is declining especially when we experience setbacks. But did you know that sometimes when our mental health is getting better, we still don't realize that because we have been in the downfall too long? Well, in this video, we hope to bring awareness to some signs that your mental health is recovering. Examples of strong mental health include having better relationships, better coping strategies, and more emotional stability. Though these signs are not necessarily a direct indicator of better mental health, they do correlate.

Well, turns out i failed all of em, well no worries i can always try again. Doesnt hurt to keep trying. I will try again.

Things that have helped me:
-Worry less. Let go of things that are outside of my control.
-I remind myself that there's a 50/50 chance of everything working out just fine.
-The less I judge other people, the easier it is for me to treat myself with kindness.
-Everything changes, good, bad, and in-between. If something is good, I enjoy and savor it now; if it's not so good, I remember that it will pass.
-Most daily irritations and annoyances are small and don't matter if I just let them go.

The mere fact that you’re still breathing is a sign of your strength. I know it hurts to feel like you’re just holding on to life, but enduring just one more day could change your life entirely. So, please from one internet stranger to another, endure another day.

And an extra quote from me to you 🤍:

“You are joy, looking for a way to express. It's not just that your purpose is joy, it is that you are joy. You are love and joy and freedom and clarity expressing itself.’’ - Abraham Hicks

How's everyone doing this first month?

[namethestars]

It's odd because emotionally I thought I was a mess because my ex use to love riling up any situation to get a reaction out of me but once I walked away I've felt a lot more stable, not prone to outbursts just quiet & reflective. Between that, a new home that's slowly coming together and a writing career I'm pursuing I feel stronger than I have in a long time 🙂

The one thing that I can take from this video is to not worry too much. Focusing on your goals and having fun are what keeps us going. As long as you are happy with yourself, it’s a win. I want to work on that more.

This channel improved my mental health. 10 months ago i would get frustrated by everything.

The more you pursue and try will make you have strong mental health. It’s like exercising, it may hurt at first but it’ll make you greatly feel better. Don’t don’t forget to keep up on your mental health though!😊❤

#2 made me think of all the accomplishments I've made after my dad passed away (accident). Losing him was one thing, but little by little I started remembering all the life-changing moments he experienced after my paternal grandmother passed away. He didn't waste time moping around and feeling sad about her missing out on such occasions. He practically gave off the impression that there's no need to waste time feeling sad about someone who's not there anymore and to just keep going with the life you still have. He still respected how most of the family reacted sad anyways because that's how they are. I've practically done the same over the years after his passing.

Just recently, however, I couldn't help but break down emotionally when it all clicked at how different life would have been like right now if I were the one lost while he was still alive.😢 I personally think he would not know what to do if he lost me because he'd never know when I was going to graduate college (took longer after switching majors). It probably would have emotionally scar him for life to know I'd be the youngest member of the family to never experience college graduation.

Other signs: you feel more comfortable being by yourself with no distractions.

You are able to be more in the present moment without getting distracted with thoughts of the future or the past.

You start to appreciate who you are and can recognise your own worth.

You don't need other people's validation as much as before.

You find you are less triggered than before - you are not reacting from emotions triggered from other people or things, you can choose to respond better.

You can let things go much easier.

You are comfortable going out of your comfort zone more.

You can recognise when it's your ego talking or trying to get you to do something, and when it's your true self behind the ego.

These are things I discovered during my 10 + year recovery from depression, depersonalisation disorder, anxiety, maladaptive daydreaming, video games addiction and more.

It’s astronomical how horrible I am at all of these things, I don’t even know what to do anymore.

[Cuddlefeeesh]

I’ve been in therapy on and off for about 8 years now, since I was 16. I’ve struggled with depression, anxiety, social phobia, and an ED. There were days I thought I’d never get through, years I thought would never end. Today I can say that almost each day I have at least one moment of joy. Each time I feel it I remind myself that even these small moments are a huge accomplishment.

Good mental health is always moving forward no matter how difficult or painful because that is a sign that even if depressed you have a powerful mental fortitude, and ensure you don't give a feck about what other people think

[cynthx]

"mental illness often comes with a lot of shame, self consciousness self doubt and lack of self confidence. people often respond to these feelings by seeking validation and acceptance from others. being able to shift your mode of acceptance from others to yourself is a sign that your mental health is improving. you can seek validation in yourself and you don't need someone to do that for you."


Why is it that when I tell people this, I'm the jerk?
Anyway, I'm good. Thanks for the video!

Something i have learned after a whole year of trying to improve on my self and had a lot of set backs with both situations i have had control over and not is that with the hard work and usage of adaptive thinking is that i can basically handle anything as long as someone understands me, i still have a lot to work on with self confidence still but even then situations that WILL work out are still making me weak to my knees and overwhelmed in so many ways, and it makes me lose control of emotional regulation, but i can still push through it because as long as i breathe and can properly think it doesnt matter if i have the answer or not in the moment i can still dig my mself out of that hole, i just need a little time, and yes the dumbest of things frighten me and makes me so anxious that im ashamed of just being me (like the fact that i cant emotionally handle a job without feeling like i will just shut down, and everything will just go wrong) but by still trying, and after hard work started to workout and do more stuff in my life, even tho its been hard and felt USELESSnat times, those small changes regardless of how little it changes it will the more you do it change a whole lot as long as you can change your view on why you are doing it and why you should keep doing it.

I hope you all can take help of this in some way, being stuck in lifes hole is distressing...
