What are your favorite mental health tips?
Just came across your channel. Thank you so much
These therapists can go to 'you know where!' No therapist I have ever met, truly gave a rip about my mental health. I am in pain, and every therapist I talk to, lectures me and makes me feel worse! There is no help!
If these are the best ideas from 75 The-Rapists no wonder why no one ever gets better or cured….
"connect with ppl" – Covid and the fact that everyone moved to a different country and Im the only left here and haven't made new friends because of covid IS an issue so that rly just makes me feel bad rip
I have no family
I have no friends
I have no home
I have no shower
My bed is 4 inches of old memory foam on a peice of plywood.
It’s been like this since my parents lost their house when I was 18 I’m 31 now
Advice isn’t going to do anything for me if my best can’t even hold a minimum wage job
To provide myself with a bed to sleep in & a running shower.
The most productive 13 mins of my day so far….
Clean your own bedroom be4 you tell others how they should clean theirs!
Thank u so much! ❤ P.S. You're a cosplayer too? That's really cool!
I love this because it is realistic and human. So much in this area seems sterile and meaningles, like a set of photocopied rules, they maybe technically correct but they have no soul
A healthy body is one that is in good physical, emotional and mental health. Our health is more valuable than anything else we have. It is a secret of a happy man🌷
watch a comedy show daily, before bed
Because life is sad when I cant rac beyond my low-high expectations
Nothing ticks me off more than these do goodie antidotes. I have no one. Nothing worse than going out side for me and seeing people interact I've never had human connection.
"one of the best antidepressants is to get your body moving" yes, but it's also important to not overwhelm yourself, i can't stand for very long without pain bc of physical disability so i do sit down low impact exercises and don't go for longer than i can handle. it's important to be careful and not overwhelm your body when trying to help your mind
nice
This video was soooo helpful! Thank youuu
What if your not able to do these things, because you don't have any friends and family to care enough about you because your husband make sure of it? How do you get better at this?
What do you when your husband constantly reminds you of your failures and mistakes every chance he gets or how he regrets ever meeting you after 19 years?
Who is here after having a breakdown at school?
I don't think so
🤣
Sir please help me whenever I start sleeping I start focusing on sleep coz I am very tried so want to get sleep fast but when I think I can't sleep plz help sir tips to stop focusing on sleep 😴🥺😔
Could you post all 75 comments? I'd love to read them all.
Therapy never really helped me even though I've been going for years until now. I just take the pills and they don't seem to do much.
Been watching this at the moment while having an all out mental breakdown
,,I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live.''-Ecclesiastes 3 12
First people create and keep up certain mental problems, taking benefit by meds, therapy, facilities and most importantly, less competition on monetary and love life😢
I’m realizing now that a lot of my mental health/imbalanced life came from not having a friend circle that I consistently turn to. And I tried to make up for that with some repetitive behaviors that really didn’t give me what I needed. I guess I’m just trying to figure out what I enjoy now and it’s been a cool process of self-discovery, even better having a Christian therapist!
Nice
