Devaluing your thoughts and emotions is a quick path down to making them louder and more painful.
1.Getting stressed every day.
Youd be surprised how many people just say, No its okay my job is just stressful.
Kat Nelson
Or other similar excuses.
So many health issues arise from stress.
Devaluing your thoughts and emotions is a quick path down to making them louder and more painful.
3.Breaking things when you are mad!
You dont end up feeling any better.
You just have to buy the whatever-you-broke twice.
You are terrifying the people around you because you are smashing them in effigy.
4.Thinking that 5 hours of sleep per night is okay.
You shouldnt have to suffer through mental illness even if you technically can.
You deserve to be happy and therapists and psychiatrists are there to help you learn how to help yourself.
For example, drinking to relax frequently or smoking a lot.
8.Coping with feelings of insecurity and anxiety by lashing out at your partner.
People are in charge of their own feelings.
It is not your job to appease others so that they can emotionally regulate themselves.
10.Over or under sleeping are big red flags for depression.
Hitting yourself, banging your head on things, burning yourself on purpose, cutting yourself, etc.
all of those things indicate that its time to talk with a professional.
12.Rapid weight gain or loss with no obvious medical cause.
14.The biggest thing Ive run into over and over again is people normalizing their negative/injurious behaviors.
We talk to ourselves way worse than any person could.
Even if youre not having auditory or visual hallucinations, paranoia can be the gateway to worse underlying issues.
Prevent you from participating in the activities you were planning on going to?
Hope that makes sense!
18.Does your heart speed up when you lie down?
GO TO THE FUCKING DOCTOR.
I see typical kids that just cant handle anything.
They are gonna have a very difficult journey ahead unless they seek help.
Current friend of mine is having real struggles emotionally and mentally.
Were still talking but hes been distancing himself from other people.
We reach breakthroughs every now and then, but its been difficult.
One question we asked was if they ever saw, heard or smelled anything others didnt.
This came up more often than you might think
24.People normalize abusive behaviors by loved ones all the time.
25.Normal child/teen behaviors that are not actually normal, like running away or getting into fights.
26.Self-sabotaging behavior can ruin your life quickly.
You dont have to have any certain pathology to seek mental wellness counseling.
When a persons moods change from one extreme to another fairly often/regularly that is another concerning symptom.
28.Being an asshole to everyone.
Its something thats become a norm due to their animosity on internet, and carries out in real life.
29.Feeling like everyone is as hyper aware of you as you are of them.
It bugs me how much parents dont think theyre responsible for their kids behavior.
