It's a lack of perspective. Are you ok, well yeh i am i have food shelter, clothing a loving family… And a world full of opportunity! For the majority of the people in the video this is vwry much rhe case, they are blessed!! The fact they can't see it is due to a lack of gratitude
that fat guy with beard looks a bit scary but maybe he is kind person lol ^____^
Secularists are a stumbling block, they decide the perspective but they have no say over reality. Seek God or stay trapped.
What helps me is when I help someone else and make them feel better but ion think no one can help me but myself which im struggling wit badly for years but we move on.
Definitely don't encourage them to play games on the telephone…tell them to go see a mental health practitioner.
I am the most insignificant person in the earth. It feels impossible to get proper attention from someone even in my family. I feel like I have been toxic to myself and to others. I feel like I dont deserve anything. I feel like every word that comes out from my nouth is a utter of a over reacting behavior. It is terribly unfair for me. I feel like commiting suicide in an easy way i feel like I dont want to fight my battles anymore it just feels like putting out fires in a forest fire.
It is almost impossible for me to get mutual validation from one single person for a fixed period of time.
As a person who has mental health issues i believe that mental illness is a family health issue and that every one in the whole entire family should be interviewed by a series of news crews to tell how they have helped heal the people that they love with understanding about a person with mental illness as a upcoming TV show about helping there loved ones with mental illness as a support group of a global awareness of the people who have mental health issues and mental illness
Feel completely out of my depth. My Son is suffering. Have not been able to get a Doctors appointment since August even with Changing surgery's.
This has been helpful as I do not know what to say to him without the fear of making him worse. He says he feels empty and no hope for the future.
I have scihzoprehena bipolar anxiety OCD stress my brother calls me a crack baby

I have read every comment on this video. I hope that helps.
No one has ever been there for me for my mental illness not even after trying to take my own life. It just leaves a hollow place in your soul where no one can be relied on or seen as posseing huamanity. When I was a guitar prodigy or star athlete with blonde hair and straight As everyone loved me in my family. The year I got sick in retrospect I was abused neglected alrgoifg at the time I didn’t know what it was
I wish I could get help.
(FACTS OVA FEELINGS). In psychology twodey a mental illness is diagnosed on the basis of symptoms but if eu look deep into those symptoms they r really just indications of unsafety and adaptive strategies that a person is using in order to try to self-preserve wen faced with that unsafety
You’ll never see Americans in stories like this
i have mental health i am missing my cat and dog so much they are in a foster home i am so sorry it is all my fault i have no one to reach out to i am in hospaitl coz i had a mental breakdown i am in hospital
i am only coz no one is going through mental health it is just me i am forcing myself to eat and drink today and yesterday i can't have a support group i have imessaged only
I dont want to be here anymore but i have family im dieing inside and just want to leave this earth bit dont want to hurt anyone 😢
No one listens until they hear what they want to hear! Anything else they don't care
For me what helps is if you encounter physical thought make it mental, it is easier to get over. For example if you see heavy object you can always use mental ability to imagine this object. There are different type of thoughts, physical thoughts can not be overcome without making thought mental. It is IMPOSSIBLE!!
How can i get unpaid therapy ?
thank you
I've been like this for 35 years I used to go to group therapy that helped but my dad became ill and I gave it up I wish I could find friends I find it hard to reach out and ask for help just fed up can't find happiness anywhere it takes me ages to write then I just get bored it's like talking to a wall
Don't give up on them they need you more than you will ever know. There when I needed a ferind
This is such a joke. 99% of all mental problems come from a bad diet. Bad diet leads to bad environments, and then we have diseases that these so called specialists like to make super complicated. But really all that people need to do is eat/drink right so they can sleep right. And then of course one needs to be in a job where one is truly happy. But all of this will naturally come to you once you have done the diet 100% right. People just want a pill to take together with an excuse that they cannot be changed because they are just unlucky.
The whole system is a joke, they don´t serve patients. They serve customers. And especially psychiatrists they are not needed at all. Psychologist maybe, doctors a hell of a lot more.
But people need to wake up and understand that they cannot live in the City and be happy wearing plastic clothes and having deodorants on them while not drinking water or getting fresh air and getting a regular massage.
We are living creatures, not machines. And so the only problem is the lifestyle, not any scientific or psychiatric point of view.
Also, no doctor is telling their the true secret to recovering so you don´t need them. And that is to ONLY eat your 1-3 meals in a 6 hour window per day circa 10am to 4pm. That makes everybodies immune system like 2-3x stronger, that is one of the biggest secrets in this world to getting over all kinds of physical/mental problems.
Conclusion: our diet regulates our mood/feelings so that everything in life gets better. It is the cement our life is built on. People don't just have a feeling or depression that is hurting them, what I described is the solution, it is the thing creating the mental/physical viewpoint that we hold to be real, it is just hard to break the locked environments that we live in, in order to do what I suggested.
Spread the message in order to create better lives for people!
I was in the middle of a mental breakdown in this video helped me I don't know why but it did so thank you so much for being helpful and putting my pain into words that I could never describe before
WOMP WOMP GROW UP LIL DINIGGA
I love this video! Wonderful, thank you for sharing. Based on my experience, this advice is accurate and useful for all of us who want to help and guide others while recovering.
Should believing in God be considered a mental illness. Fitting all the characteristics of fantasy and fiction?
Insightful tips. Thank you for sharing.
Seek professional help.
Actively listen and remember that one aize doesn't fit all👌
Mental health is about "overload"… is about not being able to manage "weight/pressure"… in any case, people need to be able to release & decompress…. therefore, DONT DO ANYTHING!!!, people are not machines that can be fixed replacing parts… they need CONTAINMENT, and SAFETY to get out of the "edge".
Just BE THERE, for them, and understand….you'll have to TAKE from them (listening, being patient, don't force trough silence, etc)
Mental and emotional recovery is much slower than the physical. HOWEVER, don't do, 2 things … Don't proyect your own strength on them (you'll become frustrated and impatient), & don't become an "emotional crutch".
Ask twice if people are ok is the key.
My name is Michael I am a type 1 diabetic woth a family of 4. I work 50 to 60 hours a week and I can hardly afford my bills. For some reason I don't qualify for foodstamps even though I don't make enough money to afford groceries. I need insulin my daughters need clothes and my wife needs a vehicle so she can work. If anyone is able and willing I beg that you help my family. I know I am a stranger on the internet but for some reason I feel like God has pointed me to this platform to request help from someone who is able and willing to help. If anyone can send anything to help it would be a true blessing. Anything. I literally have 15 dollars to my name and my job is an hour away from my home so that will go to gas. I litteraly have no idea how I'm going to make ends meet. I have fear and stress every day. I worry for my girls I worry for my family. I beg. Anyone who can help at all. God bless you. $mikeymike4207 is my cash app. I leave this here woth faith that someone will read it and care enough to help. Thank you.

Jesus loves you, peace.
No hope for mental illnesses….patients and their families.
Be approachable not pushy, if your a judgy person, you are not safe to them. Have lots of patience. Listen and ask their permission to express your opinion. Dont treat them like they are crazy.
My advice as someone who suffers with poor mental health my advice is to leave them alone. My mental health is something I don't discuss with anyone.
I just tend to not talk at all I keep all my talk minimal I struggle with holding conversations I hate it but it feels like a block 24/7 0:34 this guy is 100% SPOT ON
We listen and help all the ones we love which can be exhausting, who looks after us?
