I never been to therapy and i need one but im scared to tell my parents that my mental health is always messed up, im scared that they'll say that I'm overeacting.
Yes, terrible because I felt I just talked about things until, I had nothing left to talk about. Then felt like not talking about it anymore. Also not being able to do things with what I learned.
You should do how to tell your parents you want help or to get diagnosed with mental health issues because I’ve been stressing about it a lot and I believe others are as well!
Yes i'm stressed out as well coz whenever i try to tell my parents about my condition they says i'm just faking all this just to get attention .since i'm 18 they think it isn't possible for me to be depressed .But i'm just tired of this bullshit happening to me 😖
@@roshanimarewad8815 age does not affect mental issues. They’re assuming by age which is just- wrong. Children can have depression too if they have severe tr4um@ or something (idk how depression comes.) I hope u get better soon!

That's all me but therapy sucks. I found it more better to watch bungou stray dogs. Plus you can't even tell your therapist how you actually feel without them probably making you go to a mental hospital or telling your parents.
I've both been to therapy and co-owned a mental health therapy business with my husband. There has been some very helpful non-medication solutions that I wouldn't have thought of otherwise.
@@Psych2go hey would it be possible to create a video that talked about the different levels of the boundaries that we have around ourselves? I know we have more then one boundary but I'm not as familiar with them as I am with the one we label our person space boundary ... I was told that there are at least 4 or 5 more boundaries that we have around ourselves but I don't know much about them and I'd like to knowz what they are so I can hopefully define where mind boundary limits are I'd also like to thank you for all of the amazing videos you have made so far and the posts you put on Instagram are also very helpful thankz so much for everything you do 😊💗
I agree! A lot of therapy is about teaching how to deal with difficult situations and learning to communicate effectively which can be useful for any situation.
I used to be embarrassed for going to therapy but not anymore. I think everyone should go if they have the chance. just getting your emotions out feels so nice even if nothing is generally wrong at that moment!
I have been seeing a therapist since last November. She is absolutely amazing. I would honestly sit and talk to her for hours on end if i could. Sadly, she is the first therapist out of several that I've seen in my lifetime who has actually helped me. The last therapist i saw created problems rather than helping me solve existing problems. My current therapist is not only having to help me cope with recent trauma, she is also having to undo the damage that last therapist did. I love my therapist.
As someone who’s been struggling in going with therapy. I’ve expirenced 7/9 of these things I’m 17. And I’m not okay I suffer from long depression and anxiety. But here’s something I wanna say to the younger people still going through this. Please take care and drink water don’t give up loves! Life will get better I promise
20 year old, recently started going back, you’ll find peaks and valleys, you’ll be convinced you’re ok but then once you stop going everything crashes for a bit, best advice stay even when it seems like things are ok now.
Yes, I'm in therapy. I am 63 years old man (pronouns he/him) and wish I had gone to treatment when I was 12 (I was gang-raped). This would have helped me avoid a lot of mental anguish and poor self-esteem that I am now fighting to overcome.
I’m sorry that happened to you- thats terrible. I feel like our society has issues when it comes to dealing with rape victims, and male victims get a lot of shit about it. I hope your healing process goes well, and that you can find peace. I also commend you for actually going to therapy and realizing you need help. Not many people talk about how hard that can be.
I think I need therapist. But I'm scared to tell my parents. They may judge me. I hate when ppl judge me. Even when someone is staring at me for no reasons.
omg this is actually so relatable, same here. only difference is i know that they'll judge me - they're like oh but you shouldn't have any problems like they asked are you a happy person and i said yes but what i meant to say was no-
I've been where you are already, I relate to you, being judged is scary, but being scared of it too much already is a reason to visit a therapist. I recommend you doing that, it'll be hard telling it your parents if you're scared of that but telling them will be a big relieve for you!! Hope you'll soon get the courage to tell them and hopefully they will agree and you can go get therapy :D Wish you the best of luck!
Hopefully therapy will be less stigmatized in the future, especially for men. Lots of people can benefit from therapy and it shouldn't be seen as a sign of weakness if one goes to therapy. I do see therapy becoming less stigmatized and more accepted to go too. Therapy should never be seen as a sign of weakness, we need to change that mentality.
For sure! I think the good news is that now more and more people are starting to open up about their mental health. The next phase is pushing people to see therapy.
My lad it can exposed and used against you in irl people will do anything to get ahead and they will use to as a excuse or example to try step over you. A healthy balance my friend sure therapy is good only to a exstent. What you need to do is self will and preservation tear down what is rotted and build back up. Also people must remember not all therapist are well in for you best intrest or whats to mold you but putting there ideas in or well put you on meds money ect. Its a tricky rabbit hole that needs to be avioded. Hell best therapist is sometimes just talking to yourself and doing deep thinking philosophizing and understanding.
ngl to you the people above me are spitting facts. if therapy helps you good on you, but the pictures and advisions of the people around you to personally engage in therapy offers an easy to miss suspension of reality. going through a therapy session would be hell to me in comparison to having friends help me.
sometimes i feel like going to a therapist helps more instead of going to my friends- (sometimes talking to a teacher helps me too) bc one of my friends keeps on ignoring me or ditching me everytime I vent to them- sure I talk alot but i rlly feel alone when ppl ignore me- another thing is that I HATE worrying ppl- which makes me feel worse- well i did tell one of my trusted friends eventually- (but misssed out some parts so she wouldn't worry) I'm just hoping I get mental help :(
I am going to therapy since 10th grade, and I highly encourage everyone to go to therapy. It’s like going to your brain doctor, making sure your mind is ok and deals with everything in a healthy way. It’s so helpful and wonderful to have a place where you finally feel understood and listened to, about every problem or anything that bugs you. It truly shows you how you can be better with small steps towards personal growth.
Exact asta e singurul motiv (sau macar cel mai puternic) pt. care mi s-ar parea psihoterapia utila, in sfarsit sa dai de cineva CAPABIL SA ASCULTE SI SA INTELEAGA, nimic altceva... Asta daca ai gasit, deja e cea mai mare comoara intr-asa o lume de salbatici absorbiti de sine, difamatori si narcisisti primitivi.

@@andreimircea2254 Mda, clar.

I finally had the courage to ask my mom to take me to a physiologist; I always adored having attention and going out as a child but because my parents started to work for more hours per day later I got isolated with my siblings at home. Now, I lack basic social skills when it's outside of a laboral/academic reason, and I want to fix that so bad because I also have trust issues. So yea, thank you so much for this video! :')
I would say thats more on you and you dont need physiologist. You need to the ambition self work learn about yourseld think use your mind If you have the will to work apon yourself you can do it lad
@@amanbakshi247 well, turns out that the social skills I had were great and pretty advanced, it was just insecurity that was holding me back. Even tho I am much more confident now I still have things to work with. Going to therapy also allowed me to see aspects of my life that I've never seen and somewhat helped me fix a part of my relationship with my parents
Food For Thought: Your mental health is more important than the test, the interview, the lunch date, the meeting, the family dinner, and the grocery run. Always remember to take care of your mental health.
I can't believe every single thing fits so accurately I am just going through so much stress. I am having a very important exam and I want to give my best but there is just so much pressure. Just when I thought this was enough of stress, there is this extra problem that came into my life. The thing is I am not getting my periods and it's been over two months already. I am freaking out at this point. And my mom has been also worrying alot about this problem. Because of all this stress and problems I just can't seem to work properly. But I hope everything gets fine with time 🙏
Honestly, your videos are so helpful towards me. I've been doing horribly lately and all I have is my comfort youtubers and those who will listen to me. This video gave me realization I really really need to talk to someone, so I will definitely try to talk to my mom about going to therapy. Thank you.
I just started going to therapy. I have my second session this Monday(the 1st of Aug), and my first one was two weeks ago. I didn't realize how much I needed it until I was there. I obviously had my first appointment with my mom, and that's when I realized how much I actually force down and have been keeping to myself. I thought I was open and not holding emotions in, until I could barely answer the questions asked of me infront of my mom. I've gotten so used to saying "I'm fine" when anyone asks if im okay even if I'm doing horrible. I haven't had a horrible life, and I've been lucky to have good people in it. But I have been through my fair share of things that im just now realizing would be considered trauma, and my anxiety(gad, separation, and social) has made so many things so much harder for me. I really hope this will help me! Fingers crossed :p
Hey Psych2Go! I wanted to say thank you so much for helping me through a really difficult time in my life. I self harmed for a while and tried to take my own life. By watching your channel I realized I had depression. Thank you so much for being there in my emotional journey! I now go to a therapist and I've learned to enjoy my life. I am so glad I'm alive. Thank you, I can't say it enough times.
After a good friend of mine give me the push I needed I started therapy back and now last year. Did really good and start back in August. April I started up again after a series of unfortunate tragedies. Been striving to do better in achieving the goals I said. Mental health is a serious issue and therapy does help.
Ever since I have started visiting the therapist and sit for counselling sessions I've found an identity for self. Trauma,wounds and anxieties had been like shadow but now they don't exist anymore. It's almost a year that I go for therapy every week without a miss. And above all your videos do the needful.This is all I can say beyond any doubt.
Loved the vid as always! ⚠️VIDEO IDEA could you think about discussing life with chronic illness? Specifically how it takes such a toll on mental health, I’m sure it would be appreciated by many!! ❤️ keep up the great work!!❤️
Due to parents, I can’t go see a therapist and will go once I turn 18, 17 currently. Online therapy doesn’t work. School counsellors don’t even help either and I’m tired of feeling like this. I’ve felt like this for years and just want to get better. But who knows what fate has for me. Everything this video has explained I feel it all fits me Good luck to all and and I encourage you to keep going, keep fighting back, don’t listen to the thoughts and keep striving, you’re doing amazing

I definitely need therapy, but none of my parents let me do therapy, they say" you're just overreacting and trying to make us feel bad" The say to "express my feelings" but every time I do, the say that I'm trying to make them feel bad for me and they say that I'm an attention seeker. Even my sister says that. And they also say that since I'm going into highschool I have to deal with my emotions alone, so I don't really know what comfort is anymore. But its whatever, I'm fine, and I guess I don't really need a therapist but Idk.
I feel exactly the same way here. Me and my bestie often do vent/therapy sessions at school, just a random thing that works for the both of us. Also, I have this channel :D
Everyone at some point needs therapy in their life. Your parents and sister are maybe your family, but often family can't handle a true emotional support. You have to listen to yourself, believe in yourself and in your emotions, and most of all in your inner needs. I too couldn't talk these subjects with my family so I went to therapy on my own, talked to various people and I feel better now. Don't assume your family knows what is best for you, only you will know that and it may take some time to realise it
you probably do. it's different in everyone but i mean, i've also been experiencing that and i'm in almost the exact same position as you and i am not ok. you aren't overreacting, they're the ones refusing to help or even understand and they're the ones judging you and making you feel guilty. That's their way of defending themselves from what you feel because they don't know what to do - and sometimes that does cause negative effects. I hope things get better and i know i'm just a random youtuber but i care about how you feel ❤ also they also insist on being like tell me your feelings- also them: i have to carry your emotional baggage me: *sighs*
Lad do self therapy talk to yourself your about yourself think use your mind learn you can do this on your own with with out a therapist you need to have the will to fight for a better future for you funnel your emitions into something let them fuel something
@@Psych2go Therapy is alright. It should be about mental health maintenance. In the broadest sense, therapy should be as important as dental care or eye care., etc.
literally the first point of the video was in point with me. i had told my parents that i would like to go to therapy multiple times, yet they always kept telling me that "you're just gonna go in there, talk and then leave, and a 100 zł will go to waste.". after some tries they "agreed" to do it after I finish the school year. it's been 1 and a half months and i still haven't heard anything about it. it's super frustrating, worst part is that they assume i am fully alright because I have went to therapy 4 years ago and have solved my problems, so i could stop going. now a lot has changed and frankly, i feel like shit. yet they still believe that therapy is a waste of time and keep telling me that when I go to a new school I'll meet new people and my issues will disappear, or something like that. all i really asked of them is to go one time to even confirm if there's something wrong with me. it's frustrating as hell.
I'm 27 seconds in and crying I needed to hear that My moms recently been trying to make me go to therapy because she caught me SH ing and I just shut down every attempt because I just wanted to figure out what was wrong with myself and work harder to avoid it next time, and besides I'd just be a waste of time when someone else with an actual problem could be in there instead right? I cant stand to watch the rest of the video but that intro means so much
@@Psych2go whats the worst case i think could happen? Well in my case its not what i think but rather what actually happened. When i was 14 my mom looked me in the eye and dared me to kill myself. There i was crying saying im depressed and need help while holding a knife to my throat. She didnt even leave her seat on the couch. No police were called, i was not sent to therapy and after i dropped the knife from shock she continued watching her movie.
I dont need this video to know that i need therapy, still i clicked on it🙂 I can relate to all points except last one. I am not trying to improve my mental health anymore. I am done with this. And i dont feel any apetite anymore even if i dont eat anything for 2 days. Depression and anxiety is making my life HELL🙃
@@Psych2go it was alright he was helping me with my disabilities and every time I took my medication morning and night I would never feel happy because of the worry of one of my disabilities happening and missing on what I loved most he told me that even though it can't be helped I am still unique in what you are capable of and by doing what you love most and not to let your disabilities get in the way of what you love doing most
I have been watching a lot of these videos lately. I've felt constantly tired for so long now, but recently its gotten worse. I can feel that I get more angry, jealous and upset more often. As well as a strain in some of my relationships. I've also been struggling significantly with my studies, and concentration in my classes. Ultimately causing my grades to drop a lot. However, I don't know if I have any mental illness. I know I get anxious and upset quite frequently, but how am I meant to tell my family? The version of me that they see is a lot more happy. I don't express my worries or problems to them as much as I should because I fear becoming a disappointment to them. I'm now thinking about telling them, but I'm not entirely sure if I even have TIME for therapy. I don't know what to do anymore. (Sorry that was a rant. I don't vent like this often.)
Talk to your family doctor if you have one and have them refer you to a therapist. Feeling tired like you have is a sign of depression. You can feel a lot better you don't have to live this way💕
@@brookeholiday7264 tysm for your advice! I’ve started talking about it with friends to start with and I’m thinking of bringing it up with family so I can get help ❤️
@@forevertiredkrystal4705 An advice I could give you: try to get more comfortable, try to open up and to not only show the happy version of yourself, so your family can also realise that therapy could help you and it doesnt come out all of a sudden. You probably already came up with the idea, but I still hope I have helped you in some kind of way :) Wish you the best of luck on your way :D
I have been in therapy for a year now, it was just starting to have an effect when my favorite RUclipsr, who's content was actually part of my therapy. Lashed out abusively at her followers and I had an anxiety attack for two days and a nightmare where she was trying to kill me. My symptoms have gotten at least 3 times worse and therapy isn't helping at all anymore. My anger is off the charts, at least 3 times what it was before, my fear is so I don't feel safe in my house anymore, everything has gotten so much worse thanks to her.
As a person who has to go to therapy every week, I can say that it makes me feel a lot better even if I'm not talking about my feelings a lot but it makes me feel better because she always tells me how perfect I am and it makes me feel a lot better so anyone who is scared to talk about their feelings then you can just tell them that you are not really comfortable with that and they will understand.

i have bdd (body dysmorphia disorder) and i really need therapy,when i talked to my mom about it she just said “you dont need therapy” and my condition is getting worse,please get therapy immediately if needed and stay safe♥︎
Over the last couple days I've started to realize I need therapy. I'm surprised none of my doctors recommended it after dying 3 years ago (almost an hour in cardiac arrest), spending a couple days in a coma, a month in hospitals, and a year in recuperation at home. I even put the lack of it as a complaint on the hospital survey. Now, I'm approaching 50 with nothing to show for it and wondering if bringing me back to life was worth the bother.
Astonishing what you've been through, you can be really proud! It definitely was worth it and if you feel like you need therapy definitely go try it out, hopefully it will help you! Wish you the best of luck :D
A few months ago, I had a huge mental breakdown, I couldn’t go to school because of anxiety, I have been getting better, I also now have anxiety and depression meds, but My family have been trying to get me therapy for a while, and this video was helpful for me, thanks phyc2go 💗
Alright..But My Concern is how Can I spill tea about my whole life traumas to a therapist I just met? Like I already have Trust Issues and It takes a lot time for me to open up. How can I know if that therapist is right for me and he/she will keep it confidencial?
I am currently going through a period of unidentifiable stress and anxiety. I’m stressed and anxious about something but I don’t know what. I have very severe health anxiety and I haven’t been sleeping as well as I used to, which triggers my health anxiety. I am very seriously considering going to see a therapist for advice and just so I have someone to comfort me.
I tried therapy because I failed my third year of high school (I don't know who suggested my mom to take me there) and, after a whole year of going there, all that my therapist had to say was "she has a high self esteeem" (which OF COURSE was waaaaaaay far from the truth, because, right at that time, I was going through the lowest period of my entire life, where I just wanted to jump out of the window of my apartment on the 7th floor), so I left it and never went back... Now I just don't trust therapists anymore and I don't want to go see another one... I know I need it, I just don't want to go...
2:04 love the meme reference. slight story time\\\\ when i was about 10 or 11 i was forced into going to therapy by my mother. i didn't overly need it, i was just having trouble controlling my temper. Well dam, i should laugh in my mother's face now, because thanks to her abuse and neglect i actually need the dam therapy.(and whats makes things better, she would abuse me before AND DURING the period i was in talk therapy). although i haven''t actually been talking about my true mental state up until 2 months ago. i have been in therapy for 3+ years.
I'm so thankful that I've started seeing therapists about my mental health. I recently attempted suicide for many reasons. This video helped me understand struggles that have affected me since my early childhood (I'm 14). I qualify for all of the things you mentioned except 6 and 8. Thank you Psych2Go, you've helped me clear my mind after many sleepless nights.
I have been to many therapists for many issues. Ultimately the only person who can help is yourself. You have to take responsibility for your life. I see psychology as an evolving science that may provide ideas for improvement, but it can also cause problems. I'm trying to use psychology to improve my life, but it seems our culture rewards narcissism. That makes coping in a healthy way tricky.
Yup!! I really need a therapy but my *parents* don't know and don't care and my relation with them are really poor and weak and i hate them so much and most of the symptoms in the videos i do have especially trauma from physical and mental abuse 🗿💔
I was younger and went to a kid therapy and it help with my school issues ( scared/anxiety) and I’m thinking of going back to help me I have most of the thing said in the video! Thank you for the help! ( it was also where I got diagnosed with anxiety )
Feeling anxious. Generally feeling overwhelmed with everything. Overthinking and feeling as though you're unable to 'switch off' from your thoughts. Feeling low and more tearful than usual. Getting angry more easily or struggling to regulate your emotions. Sleeping more or less than usual.
Im going to therapy due to my self harm Addiction and a possible ED And in this video I experienced nearly all of them. Especially 3,4,5,6 Remember your not alone!
Glad to know you realised you need therapy! You're so strong for already doing that, many others sadly wouldnt even have realised they should seek help :( Wishing you the best of luck on the therapy, hope you'll get better soon :D
Sign number 1; you have a pulse. Sign number 2; you had or did not have parents. Sign number 3; you live in a city, town, or village where interaction with others is critical to your emotional well being.

i put up 7 finger so tomorrow i might tell my mom i might need therapy if struggling with school bullying every day i have had so much things thrown at me like homework, pet loss, and thinking i need to be perfect i've been overwhelmed with almost everything that seems so simple for other people, NOT EVERYTHING IS SIMPLE! i've been drinking coffee at a young age because i've been struggling with sleep positions and keeping up with school i've realized i have been shaking often, maybe its from being anxious or stressed out... i need to come out to my mom and open up these things to her so she can help me with this struggle called life
I went to a Therapist right after my parents got divorced bc i felt very bad as most children do when their parents get divorced, but… the therapist basically “kicked me out” with words bc she told my parents that my situation was normal…. She ruined my life. And I refused to go to any kind of therapist even when everyone started to suggest me to do it.. and it was all bc of *her*…❤️🔥
I mean- I've always had social anxieties for as long as I can remember, but somehow I still managed to make friends. Still, as I got older, specifically after my mum was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, I've found it more and more difficult to work up the courage to overcome said anxieties and visit or hangout with my friends, which inevitably created distance between us. I do also find myself not particularly enjoying my favorite activities, or rather, I struggle to work up the motivation to partake of them, despite spending the whole work week looking forward to them... Should I seek therapy for this? But where do I even look? Are there different types of therapists? How much would it cost me?
I was in therapy for 6 months in 2018-2019. I'm actually grateful for that I got to that point when I was sent to therapy after a trauma that causing so much emotional pain till this day. It was one of my life's most important experiences. The trauma, and the therapy as well. I met wonderful people, who were struggling with something then too. Some of them are better since, but some of them - including me - are not feeling well overall. Therapy gave me unfamiliar feelings of viabilty for a few months. But I slowly relapsed, and it got even worse then ever before. Now, I feel more miserable in some regards even than after the trauma that brought me to therapy. But now, I'm not open to meet new people in another therapy, my energy for life is too low. I just exist since some time. It's just... getting scarry that... a miracle is my only hope. At least I feel that way. And unfortunately I don't even have the opportunity to see a psychologist. You, who reads this! If You need to, if You can, go to therapy! And if you can, never stop until You REALLY get better! And be sure to keep the level!
I clearly understand my self and my mental and emotional health. I know that there is something wrong with me too. I haven't consult anyone about it even my family. I want to go for therapist at first but Im afraid and I don't have anyone to accompany me. I have knowledge about what is going on inside my head and do more research about it. After some time I actually get used to what's going on inside my head that I think it's not necessary to go for a therapy.
Therapy has helped me focus my rage and hate about love relationships into itself so that I am able to reject it even more with all my anger. Now I feel more secure about humiliating and destroying anybody who wants to get near me... of course if somebody ever wants because nobody ever wanted to be near me. So now I can be at peace within my loneliness knowing nobody will try to manipulate me because I will destroy them before that. 😌
I’m finally getting therapy!! My doctor recommended me therapy because I’m trans to cope with gender dysphoria but I also deal with trauma from my 4th grade teacher and I have violent tendencies so I’m excited to get help :D
I've been on the journey to healing and although I've been seeing a therapist for like 2 months now, the biggest thing that helped me is this: Find someone or even a few people you can trust to be entirely open and honest with. Practice kindness, respect and positivity, not just towards others but yourself. Retrain your brain to think positively, but know also, that it doesn't change overnight. It takes time, patience, and consistent work to make it happen. I didn't really notice a difference until about 3 or 4 months in. I also had the constant support of 2 best friends and my boyfriend to help me by telling me what they thought my positive traits were and pretty soon I started coming up with my own. Understanding that the miserable people who dragged you down to the point of where you got depressed and anxious are just miserable people who want everyone around them to be miserable too. I call them soul-draining demons cause that's EXACTLY what they are. Surround yourself with positive, supportive people who want nothing but happiness for themselves and you. Happy people love making a difference in people's lives. Once you become happy yourself, you'll be able to tell toxic, miserable, fake people from the real ones in a heartbeat and being the happier person you are you'll no longer attract toxic because they're intimidated by you because you're stronger. Just some thoughts on the subject. :)
I think this is important for people to know. I've had therapy for almost three years, and I saw very little progress so I think about stop going to therapy. This hole year 2022, I haven't got therapy accidentally, I didn't have time. Now, with almost 7 months without therapy, I've realized that my mental health has got worse, and that I need therapy. Please, think about going to therapy if ur struggling, don't wait like me.
Yeah, I've been to therapy off and on for 30+/- years through my tumultuous marriage/divorce in regards to the custody battle and abuse I endured by my ex-husband and his mother. Then also for my PTSD and depression/anxiety, I did some online, and overall, I feel like the in-person might've worked for different aspects and the online for more intense, but not too deep emotional revelations to resolve. However, I would like to return to help me navigate my loneliness and grief since my mother passed 2 years ago in June. I have done a lot of shadow work and healing work with that, but I feel I need more connection with others who have gone through similar situations as I have in my 53 years.
I've actually been experiencing all of this lately, and yes, I'm undergoing therapy and I just wanna tell everyone reading this that therapy is hard. It's not just talking about your feelings and stuff, but it also involves understanding what really happened, not only in your point of view, but others' point of view too. If you're emotionally/mentally abused, you have to realize that it's not your fault (no, there's nothing for certain that I'm like that, I just have relationship problems with my family). You also have to realize what your worth really is and to work on not letting yourself get affected by shit. You have to filter out what you actually listen to, and for me, that was the hardest part. For those who are struggling, I just want to tell you that you're not alone. Some people may not understand what you're going through, but a lot of us do. We may be strangers, but we're all humans and we care for each other. Just keep going, you'll get through this!
I already knew that I needed therapy and this just confirmed it even more. Sadly, when informing my parents I need therapy because everything that I loved is such a bore to me, meals have become hard to swallow and I constantly don't understand what I am feeling or what to do about it so my solution was to shut everyone out, however, I just got told that I'm an attention seeker and I should be grateful for what I have so, now I continue to stay silent and don't complain. :(
I feel like I wouldn't know what to do or say if I had a therapist. This coming from someone who gets depressed for a day or two if I've been working too hard, which I imagine is not a normal or common thing.
This video literally came out yesterday.. almost to the hour i decided to go to my local wellness center and ask for a therapist... and all these signs fit my description. Ive been in therapy but not one i felt like i was being heard or felt a sense of comfort. I felt so disconnected and i know they tried but i just didn't allow their help. But its time. Its time to take control over my life as once i felt when i almost ended my life.
My therapist was terrible. Didn't take notes and basically had to tell them my whole life story each session bc she didn't choose to write down anything about me. Made me feel forgotten. I'm hesitant to seek therapy again
Love the animation~!! It so cute~!!! Great video, I just learned I had overcome my struggles by going to Therapy. I want to even become one because they're heroes and you're my hero to Psych2Go~! You guys make the best video's that inspired me to become just like you, someone who helps those in need emotion and physically. Thank you so much for everything you given me and my enemies~!
Mental health is considered important only in very few places in my country, and since psychologists/psychiatrists idk which one is right, are very less in number, so you don't know much about their competency and hence can't really trust them

Have you tried therapy before? How has your experience been like?
No ive never did
I never been to therapy and i need one but im scared to tell my parents that my mental health is always messed up, im scared that they'll say that I'm overeacting.
Yes, terrible because I felt I just talked about things until, I had nothing left to talk about. Then felt like not talking about it anymore. Also not being able to do things with what I learned.
i feel like it need it but i’m too scared to ask
I tried a couple of times but it really helped with my anxiety 💖💖💖
You should do how to tell your parents you want help or to get diagnosed with mental health issues because I’ve been stressing about it a lot and I believe others are as well!
my mom has found out i sh and it was so stressful to tell her i couldnt tell her anything. so yea this is a good idea
Yup!!!
@@cadenjones5896 she found out you what?!?!
Yes i'm stressed out as well coz whenever i try to tell my parents about my condition they says i'm just faking all this just to get attention .since i'm 18 they think it isn't possible for me to be depressed .But i'm just tired of this bullshit happening to me 😖
@@roshanimarewad8815 age does not affect mental issues. They’re assuming by age which is just- wrong. Children can have depression too if they have severe tr4um@ or something (idk how depression comes.)
I hope u get better soon!

That's all me but therapy sucks. I found it more better to watch bungou stray dogs. Plus you can't even tell your therapist how you actually feel without them probably making you go to a mental hospital or telling your parents.
how tf did u comment this 1 month ago
HOW?! HOW ARE HERE
Thank you!❤️
I've both been to therapy and co-owned a mental health therapy business with my husband. There has been some very helpful non-medication solutions that I wouldn't have thought of otherwise.
That's great that you started something togethre with your life partner in an industry that is much needed!
@@Psych2go hey would it be possible to create a video that talked about the different levels of the boundaries that we have around ourselves? I know we have more then one boundary but I'm not as familiar with them as I am with the one we label our person space boundary ... I was told that there are at least 4 or 5 more boundaries that we have around ourselves but I don't know much about them and I'd like to knowz what they are so I can hopefully define where mind boundary limits are I'd also like to thank you for all of the amazing videos you have made so far and the posts you put on Instagram are also very helpful thankz so much for everything you do 😊💗
Don't we all kind of need therapy? I feel like everyone has something to gain by attending a therapy session even if it isn't necessarily required.
We're ok
No we could all use it and can help but it's not needed.
It isn't "kind of need"
It's we could all find use with it.
Bro, everyone saying you don't need therapy, you must have lived some pretty damn good lives. I'm honestly very much jealous.
I agree! A lot of therapy is about teaching how to deal with difficult situations and learning to communicate effectively which can be useful for any situation.
I used to be embarrassed for going to therapy but not anymore. I think everyone should go if they have the chance. just getting your emotions out feels so nice even if nothing is generally wrong at that moment!
I have been seeing a therapist since last November. She is absolutely amazing. I would honestly sit and talk to her for hours on end if i could. Sadly, she is the first therapist out of several that I've seen in my lifetime who has actually helped me. The last therapist i saw created problems rather than helping me solve existing problems. My current therapist is not only having to help me cope with recent trauma, she is also having to undo the damage that last therapist did. I love my therapist.
As someone who’s been struggling in going with therapy. I’ve expirenced 7/9 of these things I’m 17. And I’m not okay I suffer from long depression and anxiety. But here’s something I wanna say to the younger people still going through this. Please take care and drink water don’t give up loves! Life will get better I promise
Facts!
Thanks for opening up and sharing your experience. Happy to hear that you are already seeking therapy!
20 year old, recently started going back, you’ll find peaks and valleys, you’ll be convinced you’re ok but then once you stop going everything crashes for a bit, best advice stay even when it seems like things are ok now.
Buckle Up bro, life only gets Worse.
@@anderstermansen130 Haha I'm sure he appreciates the heads-up especially since at 17 (!) mentioned long-time depression, simply wow.
that moment when we all realized we all need therapy 😅
IKRRR 😂
Me crushing on fictional killers
I think we all definitely do..
@@sofiaisacreepypastafan me crushing on made up people from fanfictions ;-; so like even more made up than anime characters-
Yes, I'm in therapy. I am 63 years old man (pronouns he/him) and wish I had gone to treatment when I was 12 (I was gang-raped). This would have helped me avoid a lot of mental anguish and poor self-esteem that I am now fighting to overcome.
Me alegra mucho de que, al menos, a esta edad estés yendo. Lamento mucho lo que te sucedió. ¡Te mando un abrazo!
Hope you can trust again and may your body be whole and safe again.
@@grababundoberni thank you.
That’s awful… I’m a 13 year old girl so I’m also in danger
I’m sorry that happened to you- thats terrible. I feel like our society has issues when it comes to dealing with rape victims, and male victims get a lot of shit about it. I hope your healing process goes well, and that you can find peace. I also commend you for actually going to therapy and realizing you need help. Not many people talk about how hard that can be.
Hey its me,a time traveler
Wow! 9 Days ago!
Sniper wolf? Oh wait no
My myy
Oh no
😂
I have gone to therapy for clinical depression and generalized anxiety disorder, it helps! Dont be afraid to ask for help!
I think I need therapist. But I'm scared to tell my parents. They may judge me. I hate when ppl judge me. Even when someone is staring at me for no reasons.
Invest in some shades. It works. No one knows where your eyes are looking.
Try it for the first time and you will see how powerful it could be, given you find a really good therapist.
omg this is actually so relatable, same here. only difference is i know that they'll judge me - they're like oh but you shouldn't have any problems like they asked are you a happy person and i said yes but what i meant to say was no-
@@Psych2go thats my problem. Finding a good therapist.
I've been where you are already, I relate to you, being judged is scary, but being scared of it too much already is a reason to visit a therapist. I recommend you doing that, it'll be hard telling it your parents if you're scared of that but telling them will be a big relieve for you!! Hope you'll soon get the courage to tell them and hopefully they will agree and you can go get therapy :D Wish you the best of luck!
Hopefully therapy will be less stigmatized in the future, especially for men. Lots of people can benefit from therapy and it shouldn't be seen as a sign of weakness if one goes to therapy. I do see therapy becoming less stigmatized and more accepted to go too.
Therapy should never be seen as a sign of weakness, we need to change that mentality.
For sure! I think the good news is that now more and more people are starting to open up about their mental health. The next phase is pushing people to see therapy.
Except going to therapy means you declare bankruptcy and admit you failed at life.
My lad it can exposed and used against you in irl people will do anything to get ahead and they will use to as a excuse or example to try step over you. A healthy balance my friend sure therapy is good only to a exstent. What you need to do is self will and preservation tear down what is rotted and build back up. Also people must remember not all therapist are well in for you best intrest or whats to mold you but putting there ideas in or well put you on meds money ect. Its a tricky rabbit hole that needs to be avioded. Hell best therapist is sometimes just talking to yourself and doing deep thinking philosophizing and understanding.
ngl to you the people above me are spitting facts. if therapy helps you good on you, but the pictures and advisions of the people around you to personally engage in therapy offers an easy to miss suspension of reality. going through a therapy session would be hell to me in comparison to having friends help me.
sometimes i feel like going to a therapist helps more instead of going to my friends-
(sometimes talking to a teacher helps me too)
bc one of my friends keeps on ignoring me or ditching me everytime I vent to them-
sure I talk alot but i rlly feel alone when ppl ignore me-
another thing is that I HATE worrying ppl-
which makes me feel worse-
well i did tell one of my trusted friends eventually- (but misssed out some parts so she wouldn't worry)
I'm just hoping I get mental help :(
I am going to therapy since 10th grade, and I highly encourage everyone to go to therapy. It’s like going to your brain doctor, making sure your mind is ok and deals with everything in a healthy way.
It’s so helpful and wonderful to have a place where you finally feel understood and listened to, about every problem or anything that bugs you. It truly shows you how you can be better with small steps towards personal growth.
Exact asta e singurul motiv (sau macar cel mai puternic) pt. care mi s-ar parea psihoterapia utila, in sfarsit sa dai de cineva CAPABIL SA ASCULTE SI SA INTELEAGA, nimic altceva... Asta daca ai gasit, deja e cea mai mare comoara intr-asa o lume de salbatici absorbiti de sine, difamatori si narcisisti primitivi.

Știu ce spui, lumea, în special românii, judecă prea multe și se aruncă în prejudecată prea repede. Deseori simt că nu am cu cine vorbi, așa că să pot vizita pe cineva care are o minte deschisă și cu care chiar pot vorbi este o comoară adevărată.
@@andreimircea2254 Mda, clar. Eu una simt asta cam cu orisicine, cu mici exceptii despre anumite subiecte, dar sa vorbesti liber despre ce conteaza cu adevarat pt. tine in viata asta, nicodata cu nimeni. Si-mi place ca pe de alta parte se vorbeste masiv despre sanatate mentala si importanta ei cruciala, HA! Toate-s de-o fatarnicie halucinanta!
O sa fac la fel ca dumneata cand o sa ies in sfarsit la propriul salariu, o sa-mi caut o persoana de-o poti numi INTELIGENTA, sa inteleaga ce-i spui si sa aiba si ea ceva de valoare sa-ti impartaseasca, nu ca toate aiurelile si mizeriile pe care le discuta mai toti oamenii... Sper sa gasesc pe cineva asa, macar pe bani, ca altfel oricum nu s-ar putea niciodata pe asa pamant....

@@andreimircea2254 Mersi frumos, eu va doresc la cat mai multe momente de calitate alaturi de profesionistul pe care l-ati gasit, sa avem si ceva noroc.
I finally had the courage to ask my mom to take me to a physiologist; I always adored having attention and going out as a child but because my parents started to work for more hours per day later I got isolated with my siblings at home. Now, I lack basic social skills when it's outside of a laboral/academic reason, and I want to fix that so bad because I also have trust issues. So yea, thank you so much for this video! :')
I would say thats more on you and you dont need physiologist. You need to the ambition self work learn about yourseld think use your mind If you have the will to work apon yourself you can do it lad
Hey. I've the same issue like the one you mentioned about laboral/ academic skills thing. How was therapy for you? Can you please share?
@@amanbakshi247 well, turns out that the social skills I had were great and pretty advanced, it was just insecurity that was holding me back. Even tho I am much more confident now I still have things to work with. Going to therapy also allowed me to see aspects of my life that I've never seen and somewhat helped me fix a part of my relationship with my parents
Food For Thought: Your mental health is more important than the test, the interview, the lunch date, the meeting, the family dinner, and the grocery run. Always remember to take care of your mental health.
I can't believe every single thing fits so accurately
I am just going through so much stress. I am having a very important exam and I want to give my best but there is just so much pressure.
Just when I thought this was enough of stress, there is this extra problem that came into my life. The thing is I am not getting my periods and it's been over two months already. I am freaking out at this point. And my mom has been also worrying alot about this problem. Because of all this stress and problems I just can't seem to work properly.
But I hope everything gets fine with time 🙏
I am 15 years old and 7 of them are matching with me. My mother is very friendly with us. But I am too uncomfortable to talk with my mom about it.
Honestly, your videos are so helpful towards me. I've been doing horribly lately and all I have is my comfort youtubers and those who will listen to me. This video gave me realization I really really need to talk to someone, so I will definitely try to talk to my mom about going to therapy. Thank you.
I just started going to therapy. I have my second session this Monday(the 1st of Aug), and my first one was two weeks ago. I didn't realize how much I needed it until I was there. I obviously had my first appointment with my mom, and that's when I realized how much I actually force down and have been keeping to myself. I thought I was open and not holding emotions in, until I could barely answer the questions asked of me infront of my mom. I've gotten so used to saying "I'm fine" when anyone asks if im okay even if I'm doing horrible. I haven't had a horrible life, and I've been lucky to have good people in it. But I have been through my fair share of things that im just now realizing would be considered trauma, and my anxiety(gad, separation, and social) has made so many things so much harder for me. I really hope this will help me! Fingers crossed :p
Hey Psych2Go! I wanted to say thank you so much for helping me through a really difficult time in my life. I self harmed for a while and tried to take my own life. By watching your channel I realized I had depression. Thank you so much for being there in my emotional journey! I now go to a therapist and I've learned to enjoy my life. I am so glad I'm alive. Thank you, I can't say it enough times.
How are you doing now? I hope you are better.
@@Gandzi Oh wow, I forgot I made this comment. I’m very well now and have been clean of self-harm for an entire year now. Thanks for asking :)
Her voice is so calming 😌 peaceful as well
After a good friend of mine give me the push I needed I started therapy back and now last year. Did really good and start back in August.
April I started up again after a series of unfortunate tragedies. Been striving to do better in achieving the goals I said.
Mental health is a serious issue and therapy does help.
Sounds like you're always working on yourself and that's what conts. Keep up the good work!
You should put all of these bad experiences into a book and surpass "A Series of Unfortune Events".

THE ANIMATION GETS BETTER EVERYTIME!!!!!!!!!
Really?
@@Psych2go YES IT'S SO COOL KEEP IT UP I LOVE IT IT'S THE MOST ADORABLE ANIMATION EVER ALSO TYSM FOR REPLYING 💖💖💖💖💖💖
The voice alone helps me calm down.. thank you🥺 (Also I'm trying to get therapy but it's not easy. to finally call one to actually meet.)
i went to therapy for the first time today and im glad i finally did it after trying to ignore my issues and traumas for so many years
Ever since I have started visiting the therapist and sit for counselling sessions I've found an identity for self.
Trauma,wounds and anxieties had been like shadow but now they don't exist anymore.
It's almost a year that I go for therapy every week without a miss.
And above all your videos do the needful.This is all I can say beyond any doubt.
Loved the vid as always!
⚠️VIDEO IDEA could you think about discussing life with chronic illness? Specifically how it takes such a toll on mental health, I’m sure it would be appreciated by many!! ❤️ keep up the great work!!❤️
Due to parents, I can’t go see a therapist and will go once I turn 18, 17 currently. Online therapy doesn’t work. School counsellors don’t even help either and I’m tired of feeling like this. I’ve felt like this for years and just want to get better. But who knows what fate has for me. Everything this video has explained I feel it all fits me
Good luck to all and and I encourage you to keep going, keep fighting back, don’t listen to the thoughts and keep striving, you’re doing amazing

"What mental health needs is more sunlight, more candour, and more unashamed conversation." - Glenn Close
I definitely need therapy, but none of my parents let me do therapy, they say" you're just overreacting and trying to make us feel bad"
The say to "express my feelings" but every time I do, the say that I'm trying to make them feel bad for me and they say that I'm an attention seeker. Even my sister says that. And they also say that since I'm going into highschool I have to deal with my emotions alone, so I don't really know what comfort is anymore. But its whatever, I'm fine, and I guess I don't really need a therapist but Idk.
I feel exactly the same way here. Me and my bestie often do vent/therapy sessions at school, just a random thing that works for the both of us. Also, I have this channel :D
Everyone at some point needs therapy in their life. Your parents and sister are maybe your family, but often family can't handle a true emotional support. You have to listen to yourself, believe in yourself and in your emotions, and most of all in your inner needs. I too couldn't talk these subjects with my family so I went to therapy on my own, talked to various people and I feel better now. Don't assume your family knows what is best for you, only you will know that and it may take some time to realise it
you probably do. it's different in everyone but i mean, i've also been experiencing that and i'm in almost the exact same position as you and i am not ok. you aren't overreacting, they're the ones refusing to help or even understand and they're the ones judging you and making you feel guilty. That's their way of defending themselves from what you feel because they don't know what to do - and sometimes that does cause negative effects. I hope things get better and i know i'm just a random youtuber but i care about how you feel ❤
also they also insist on being like tell me your feelings-
also them: i have to carry your emotional baggage
me: *sighs*
Buckle up, it only gets worse from here.
Lad do self therapy talk to yourself your about yourself think use your mind learn you can do this on your own with with out a therapist you need to have the will to fight for a better future for you funnel your emitions into something let them fuel something
*Signs you need therapy*
1: You put milk before cereal
2. You hate animals
3. You like homework
4. You’re not subscribed to Pysch2Go
Damn that’s true 😂
Therapy only helped me in talking myself down in the wake of trauma. After 22 years, I still have trouble.
Sorry to hear that therapy has not seem to really helped you. What are your thoughts on therapy nowadays?
@@Psych2go Therapy is alright. It should be about mental health maintenance. In the broadest sense, therapy should be as important as dental care or eye care., etc.
I already know I need therapy just can’t get it 😭
same.
As soon as I read the title, I immediately clicked like my life depends on it
literally the first point of the video was in point with me. i had told my parents that i would like to go to therapy multiple times, yet they always kept telling me that "you're just gonna go in there, talk and then leave, and a 100 zł will go to waste.". after some tries they "agreed" to do it after I finish the school year. it's been 1 and a half months and i still haven't heard anything about it.
it's super frustrating, worst part is that they assume i am fully alright because I have went to therapy 4 years ago and have solved my problems, so i could stop going. now a lot has changed and frankly, i feel like shit. yet they still believe that therapy is a waste of time and keep telling me that when I go to a new school I'll meet new people and my issues will disappear, or something like that.
all i really asked of them is to go one time to even confirm if there's something wrong with me. it's frustrating as hell.
I'm 27 seconds in and crying
I needed to hear that
My moms recently been trying to make me go to therapy because she caught me SH ing and I just shut down every attempt because I just wanted to figure out what was wrong with myself and work harder to avoid it next time, and besides I'd just be a waste of time when someone else with an actual problem could be in there instead right?
I cant stand to watch the rest of the video but that intro means so much
I’m too scared to ask my mom for a therapist 😞
And i don't give a damn to get one
What's the worst case scenario that you think will happen?
@@Psych2go she’ll tell me that I don’t need one and I’m fine, when I’m not fine
@@Psych2go whats the worst case i think could happen? Well in my case its not what i think but rather what actually happened.
When i was 14 my mom looked me in the eye and dared me to kill myself. There i was crying saying im depressed and need help while holding a knife to my throat. She didnt even leave her seat on the couch. No police were called, i was not sent to therapy and after i dropped the knife from shock she continued watching her movie.
I absolutely love those cute animations
I dont need this video to know that i need therapy, still i clicked on it🙂 I can relate to all points except last one. I am not trying to improve my mental health anymore. I am done with this. And i dont feel any apetite anymore even if i dont eat anything for 2 days. Depression and anxiety is making my life HELL🙃
I remember seeing an occupational therapist during the last two years of high school
How did that go for you? What were some key takeaways?
@@Psych2go it was alright he was helping me with my disabilities and every time I took my medication morning and night I would never feel happy because of the worry of one of my disabilities happening and missing on what I loved most he told me that even though it can't be helped I am still unique in what you are capable of and by doing what you love most and not to let your disabilities get in the way of what you love doing most
in school i had a "theripist" and i loved her and miss her as i went to a diffrent school. she helped me so much! 😭🥰😭🥰
I have been watching a lot of these videos lately. I've felt constantly tired for so long now, but recently its gotten worse. I can feel that I get more angry, jealous and upset more often. As well as a strain in some of my relationships. I've also been struggling significantly with my studies, and concentration in my classes. Ultimately causing my grades to drop a lot.
However, I don't know if I have any mental illness. I know I get anxious and upset quite frequently, but how am I meant to tell my family? The version of me that they see is a lot more happy. I don't express my worries or problems to them as much as I should because I fear becoming a disappointment to them.
I'm now thinking about telling them, but I'm not entirely sure if I even have TIME for therapy. I don't know what to do anymore.
(Sorry that was a rant. I don't vent like this often.)
Talk to your family doctor if you have one and have them refer you to a therapist.
Feeling tired like you have is a sign of depression.
You can feel a lot better you don't have to live this way💕
@@brookeholiday7264 tysm for your advice! I’ve started talking about it with friends to start with and I’m thinking of bringing it up with family so I can get help ❤️
@@forevertiredkrystal4705 You are welcome:)
Just remember you are not alone in feeling this way😊
@@forevertiredkrystal4705 An advice I could give you: try to get more comfortable, try to open up and to not only show the happy version of yourself, so your family can also realise that therapy could help you and it doesnt come out all of a sudden. You probably already came up with the idea, but I still hope I have helped you in some kind of way :) Wish you the best of luck on your way :D
@@____________________5680 tysm for your advice. It means a lot
I have been in therapy for a year now, it was just starting to have an effect when my favorite RUclipsr, who's content was actually part of my therapy. Lashed out abusively at her followers and I had an anxiety attack for two days and a nightmare where she was trying to kill me. My symptoms have gotten at least 3 times worse and therapy isn't helping at all anymore.
My anger is off the charts, at least 3 times what it was before, my fear is so I don't feel safe in my house anymore, everything has gotten so much worse thanks to her.
Who is the RUclipsr?
I have been to therapy because I have extreme social anxiety
They helped me alot and I'm doing way better ♥️😊
Also I love the art style of this video
As a person who has to go to therapy every week, I can say that it makes me feel a lot better even if I'm not talking about my feelings a lot but it makes me feel better because she always tells me how perfect I am and it makes me feel a lot better so anyone who is scared to talk about their feelings then you can just tell them that you are not really comfortable with that and they will understand.

i have bdd (body dysmorphia disorder) and i really need therapy,when i talked to my mom about it she just said “you dont need therapy” and my condition is getting worse,please get therapy immediately if needed and stay safe♥︎
Over the last couple days I've started to realize I need therapy. I'm surprised none of my doctors recommended it after dying 3 years ago (almost an hour in cardiac arrest), spending a couple days in a coma, a month in hospitals, and a year in recuperation at home. I even put the lack of it as a complaint on the hospital survey. Now, I'm approaching 50 with nothing to show for it and wondering if bringing me back to life was worth the bother.
Astonishing what you've been through, you can be really proud! It definitely was worth it and if you feel like you need therapy definitely go try it out, hopefully it will help you! Wish you the best of luck :D
A few months ago, I had a huge mental breakdown, I couldn’t go to school because of anxiety, I have been getting better, I also now have anxiety and depression meds, but My family have been trying to get me therapy for a while, and this video was helpful for me, thanks phyc2go 💗
Alright..But My Concern is how Can I spill tea about my whole life traumas to a therapist I just met? Like I already have Trust Issues and It takes a lot time for me to open up.
How can I know if that therapist is right for me and he/she will keep it confidencial?
I am currently going through a period of unidentifiable stress and anxiety. I’m stressed and anxious about something but I don’t know what. I have very severe health anxiety and I haven’t been sleeping as well as I used to, which triggers my health anxiety. I am very seriously considering going to see a therapist for advice and just so I have someone to comfort me.
I tried therapy because I failed my third year of high school (I don't know who suggested my mom to take me there) and, after a whole year of going there, all that my therapist had to say was "she has a high self esteeem" (which OF COURSE was waaaaaaay far from the truth, because, right at that time, I was going through the lowest period of my entire life, where I just wanted to jump out of the window of my apartment on the 7th floor), so I left it and never went back...
Now I just don't trust therapists anymore and I don't want to go see another one...
I know I need it, I just don't want to go...
2:04 love the meme reference.
slight story time\\\\ when i was about 10 or 11 i was forced into going to therapy by my mother. i didn't overly need it, i was just having trouble controlling my temper. Well dam, i should laugh in my mother's face now, because thanks to her abuse and neglect i actually need the dam therapy.(and whats makes things better, she would abuse me before AND DURING the period i was in talk therapy). although i haven''t actually been talking about my true mental state up until 2 months ago. i have been in therapy for 3+ years.
I'm so thankful that I've started seeing therapists about my mental health. I recently attempted suicide for many reasons. This video helped me understand struggles that have affected me since my early childhood (I'm 14). I qualify for all of the things you mentioned except 6 and 8. Thank you Psych2Go, you've helped me clear my mind after many sleepless nights.
I am glad that you are alive and are seeking help.
I have been to many therapists for many issues. Ultimately the only person who can help is yourself. You have to take responsibility for your life. I see psychology as an evolving science that may provide ideas for improvement, but it can also cause problems. I'm trying to use psychology to improve my life, but it seems our culture rewards narcissism. That makes coping in a healthy way tricky.
Yup!! I really need a therapy but my *parents* don't know and don't care and my relation with them are really poor and weak and i hate them so much and most of the symptoms in the videos i do have especially trauma from physical and mental abuse 🗿💔
I was younger and went to a kid therapy and it help with my school issues ( scared/anxiety) and I’m thinking of going back to help me I have most of the thing said in the video! Thank you for the help! ( it was also where I got diagnosed with anxiety )
this was 9 minutes ago when the video posted. 5 minutes ago of me crying on the floor trying to hold my tears in and trying to cry myself to sleep :)
Feeling anxious.
Generally feeling overwhelmed with everything.
Overthinking and feeling as though you're unable to 'switch off' from your thoughts.
Feeling low and more tearful than usual.
Getting angry more easily or struggling to regulate your emotions.
Sleeping more or less than usual.
Im going to therapy due to my self harm Addiction and a possible ED
And in this video I experienced nearly all of them. Especially 3,4,5,6
Remember your not alone!
Good luck on the therapy! ❤️ It's great that you are seeking help. Wishing you all the best 🥰
@@angelika_joanna
Glad to know you realised you need therapy! You're so strong for already doing that, many others sadly wouldnt even have realised they should seek help :( Wishing you the best of luck on the therapy, hope you'll get better soon :D
i started therapy in december again! finally got the correct diagnosis/help & it really did save my life :')
I took therapy for all elementary school and I still need it
I'm going to 7th grade
I would go to a shrink but my sister showed me a episode of criminal minds and now I’m like I’m good
Sign number 1; you have a pulse.
Sign number 2; you had or did not have parents.
Sign number 3; you live in a city, town, or village where interaction with others is critical to your emotional well being.
14 years dealing with a malignant narcissist, deeply depressed, anxious all the time, lost will to live. Still NHS thinks this is not enough to put me in therapy list (the wonders of being European on Brexit Britain).

you sound sooo soothing, the meditaion music also helps achive that ..
I'd get invalidated if i would try asking of going to therapy
i put up 7 finger
so tomorrow i might tell my mom i might need therapy
if struggling with school bullying every day
i have had so much things thrown at me like homework, pet loss, and thinking i need to be perfect
i've been overwhelmed with almost everything that seems so simple for other people, NOT EVERYTHING IS SIMPLE!
i've been drinking coffee at a young age because i've been struggling with sleep positions and keeping up with school
i've realized i have been shaking often, maybe its from being anxious or stressed out...
i need to come out to my mom and open up these things to her so she can help me with this struggle called life
I went to a Therapist right after my parents got divorced bc i felt very bad as most children do when their parents get divorced, but… the therapist basically “kicked me out” with words bc she told my parents that my situation was normal…. She ruined my life. And I refused to go to any kind of therapist even when everyone started to suggest me to do it.. and it was all bc of *her*…❤️🔥
Ow- that sucks. I hope someday it gets better.
@@co_co_ocelot ty❤️🩹
Difficulty regulating my emotions, changes in my appetite, I've experienced trauma and I'm grieving a lost opportunity.
I tried therapy, it didn't work at all
I am simply too powerful for therapy.
All of the above for me! I'm trying to find a therapist once I get a job because therapy is not cheap....right now I'm in counseling though
I mean- I've always had social anxieties for as long as I can remember, but somehow I still managed to make friends. Still, as I got older, specifically after my mum was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, I've found it more and more difficult to work up the courage to overcome said anxieties and visit or hangout with my friends, which inevitably created distance between us. I do also find myself not particularly enjoying my favorite activities, or rather, I struggle to work up the motivation to partake of them, despite spending the whole work week looking forward to them... Should I seek therapy for this? But where do I even look? Are there different types of therapists? How much would it cost me?
I was in therapy for 6 months in 2018-2019. I'm actually grateful for that I got to that point when I was sent to therapy after a trauma that causing so much emotional pain till this day.
It was one of my life's most important experiences. The trauma, and the therapy as well. I met wonderful people, who were struggling with something then too. Some of them are better since, but some of them - including me - are not feeling well overall. Therapy gave me unfamiliar feelings of viabilty for a few months. But I slowly relapsed, and it got even worse then ever before. Now, I feel more miserable in some regards even than after the trauma that brought me to therapy. But now, I'm not open to meet new people in another therapy, my energy for life is too low. I just exist since some time. It's just... getting scarry that... a miracle is my only hope. At least I feel that way. And unfortunately I don't even have the opportunity to see a psychologist.
You, who reads this!

And if you can, never stop until You REALLY get better!

Hello I hope you guys are doing ok!
HELLO IM EARLY also thank you for the advice and the help it’s so helpful 😊
Claim your “here within an hour” ticket right here ❤️
Try "here within 10 minutes"
WTF I request psych2go to off this bot!
Everyone should have therapy. You go to the gym (or do any other physical activity) for the body, and you should have therapy for the mind.
I clearly understand my self and my mental and emotional health. I know that there is something wrong with me too. I haven't consult anyone about it even my family. I want to go for therapist at first but Im afraid and I don't have anyone to accompany me. I have knowledge about what is going on inside my head and do more research about it. After some time I actually get used to what's going on inside my head that I think it's not necessary to go for a therapy.
Therapy has helped me focus my rage and hate about love relationships into itself so that I am able to reject it even more with all my anger.
Now I feel more secure about humiliating and destroying anybody who wants to get near me... of course if somebody ever wants because nobody ever wanted to be near me.
So now I can be at peace within my loneliness knowing nobody will try to manipulate me because I will destroy them before that. 😌
That' s soooo sad , rage only eats you 😪💔
@@Nola5427 Sorry.... that is how it turned out for me. At least my therapist is helping me even with that.
HELLO IM EARLY also thank you for the advice and the help you have given us😊
I’m finally getting therapy!! My doctor recommended me therapy because I’m trans to cope with gender dysphoria but I also deal with trauma from my 4th grade teacher and I have violent tendencies so I’m excited to get help :D
I've been on the journey to healing and although I've been seeing a therapist for like 2 months now, the biggest thing that helped me is this:
Find someone or even a few people you can trust to be entirely open and honest with. Practice kindness, respect and positivity, not just towards others but yourself. Retrain your brain to think positively, but know also, that it doesn't change overnight. It takes time, patience, and consistent work to make it happen. I didn't really notice a difference until about 3 or 4 months in. I also had the constant support of 2 best friends and my boyfriend to help me by telling me what they thought my positive traits were and pretty soon I started coming up with my own. Understanding that the miserable people who dragged you down to the point of where you got depressed and anxious are just miserable people who want everyone around them to be miserable too. I call them soul-draining demons cause that's EXACTLY what they are. Surround yourself with positive, supportive people who want nothing but happiness for themselves and you. Happy people love making a difference in people's lives. Once you become happy yourself, you'll be able to tell toxic, miserable, fake people from the real ones in a heartbeat and being the happier person you are you'll no longer attract toxic because they're intimidated by you because you're stronger. Just some thoughts on the subject. :)
No.9 is the greatest single piece of advice I have ever heard from you all. Something that few people actually knew until now.
I think this is important for people to know.
I've had therapy for almost three years, and I saw very little progress so I think about stop going to therapy.
This hole year 2022, I haven't got therapy accidentally, I didn't have time.
Now, with almost 7 months without therapy, I've realized that my mental health has got worse, and that I need therapy.
Please, think about going to therapy if ur struggling, don't wait like me.
Yeah, I've been to therapy off and on for 30+/- years through my tumultuous marriage/divorce in regards to the custody battle and abuse I endured by my ex-husband and his mother. Then also for my PTSD and depression/anxiety, I did some online, and overall, I feel like the in-person might've worked for different aspects and the online for more intense, but not too deep emotional revelations to resolve. However, I would like to return to help me navigate my loneliness and grief since my mother passed 2 years ago in June. I have done a lot of shadow work and healing work with that, but I feel I need more connection with others who have gone through similar situations as I have in my 53 years.
I've actually been experiencing all of this lately, and yes, I'm undergoing therapy and I just wanna tell everyone reading this that therapy is hard. It's not just talking about your feelings and stuff, but it also involves understanding what really happened, not only in your point of view, but others' point of view too. If you're emotionally/mentally abused, you have to realize that it's not your fault (no, there's nothing for certain that I'm like that, I just have relationship problems with my family). You also have to realize what your worth really is and to work on not letting yourself get affected by shit. You have to filter out what you actually listen to, and for me, that was the hardest part.
For those who are struggling, I just want to tell you that you're not alone. Some people may not understand what you're going through, but a lot of us do. We may be strangers, but we're all humans and we care for each other. Just keep going, you'll get through this!
Well said, i fully agree!!
I already knew that I needed therapy and this just confirmed it even more. Sadly, when informing my parents I need therapy because everything that I loved is such a bore to me, meals have become hard to swallow and I constantly don't understand what I am feeling or what to do about it so my solution was to shut everyone out, however, I just got told that I'm an attention seeker and I should be grateful for what I have so, now I continue to stay silent and don't complain. :(
I feel like I wouldn't know what to do or say if I had a therapist.
This coming from someone who gets depressed for a day or two if I've been working too hard, which I imagine is not a normal or common thing.
This video literally came out yesterday.. almost to the hour i decided to go to my local wellness center and ask for a therapist... and all these signs fit my description. Ive been in therapy but not one i felt like i was being heard or felt a sense of comfort. I felt so disconnected and i know they tried but i just didn't allow their help. But its time. Its time to take control over my life as once i felt when i almost ended my life.
My therapist was terrible. Didn't take notes and basically had to tell them my whole life story each session bc she didn't choose to write down anything about me. Made me feel forgotten. I'm hesitant to seek therapy again
Ik all the comments are serious regarding therapy but I gotta say how much I love the animation, amazing job from your new animator!
Love the animation~!! It so cute~!!! Great video, I just learned I had overcome my struggles by going to Therapy. I want to even become one because they're heroes and you're my hero to Psych2Go~! You guys make the best video's that inspired me to become just like you, someone who helps those in need emotion and physically. Thank you so much for everything you given me and my enemies~!
Since I was 2, I had therapy just so I could talk to someone. I stopped during high school.....and I really regret it
No it wasn't my choice. I was two. Mom told me about this cause she was the one who made me go to therapy.
The art style is so cutteeeee!!! 🥰
Mental health is considered important only in very few places in my country, and since psychologists/psychiatrists idk which one is right, are very less in number, so you don't know much about their competency and hence can't really trust them
