If you are going through a hard phase, keep on going, cuz we must focus to see the light, these challenges are here to teach us important lessons. And as a popular saying goes, life throws hardest challenges at toughest and strongest people. Love yourself and embrace yourself. Stand in front of the mirror, and give yourself a high five with the most beautiful smile.
As it is impossible that a talentless man of misfortune like me grow fond of himself, this practice therefore comes to be a practice of futility. I cannot allow myself nor anyone else on the outwards to sow in me the seed of self-love, since it would eventually wither away without the essential preconditions in place-like a flower that is never watered. A flower that receives not even a single drop of water will wither as time moves forwards into the future, leading the plant to this unfortunate eventuality, and so will my self-love under such conditions which are too dire for it to survive and flourish evermore. There is no purpose whatsoever in cultivating and practicing self-love when you know that soon it is to deaden.
I found it genuinely scary just how many of these things I do myself regularly, but reassuring that these are common enough that they've been identified as intricately linked to mental health with enough evidence to even get me to do something about my habits. Great video!
do keep in mind that some of these may be coping mechanisms. as long as it's a corallation studdies it can also mean that depressed people are more likely to binge watch or not clean their room rather than these things causing the mental illness or maybe a common factor causing both mental illness and bad habbits etc.. so yes healthy habits are very important but mostly don't stress yourself if you can't improve all of these things at once.
-is cleaning the room the cause or an effect of depressed mood? -is forgetting to eat or drink also just a cause, or also an effect of a depressed mood? (i recommend using an alarm to establish a routine, but alarms raise my anxiety and aggression levels LOL so ymmv) -are there tips and tricks that you have to prevent overthinking and overanalyzing?
For overthinking or overanalysing: Are you able to redirect those thoughts onto overanalysing less harmful topics? I usually use that to help like thinking about alternate history scenarios in depth and watching alternate history hub. It wont work for everyone but its worth a try at least once.
Yeah some of these things don’t seem like they’re just contributing to bad mental health, but that they might be caused by already existing mental health, and yes may make it worse
Sorry for the text block! TL;DR: write down thoughts/decisions you are struggling with, make yourself timelines for decisions, and give yourself compassion = it's okay to make a wrong decision on small stuff especially when it doesn't affect anyone else, background noise can be a good friend to the overthinker/ruminator. When you are really stuck in a spiral, try and get outside or do some physical exercise. I tend to overthink and overanalyze as well, these are some things I found helpful. If I find myself overthinking during my free time I will listen to something in the background like a song I like or a podcast so I can pay attention to that rather than overthinking. I will also go for a walk or do some form of exercise, that always puts me in a good mood and the physicality of it gives me a sense of empowerment. It also slows down my brain and looking at nature gives me the sense that my problems are small and manageable. On big decisions, I will sit down and make a list (I really like lists) of pros and cons and be brutally honest about both and my own capabilities. I also will either give myself a deadline if it needs to made now (I tell someone I will give them my decision before lunch etc.), or I'll remind myself that I have time and put it on the back burner (You don't have to decide on _________ for another two years! chill). I also find that putting all my thoughts or considerations on paper helps get it out of my head and I don't have to try and work hard to remember my thoughts. For more day-to-day decisions, I try and give myself compassion (it's okay if you don't like the food you ate at the restaurant, try something new! or, it's okay to just eat the same thing there every time, you know you like it). I also find that I overthink more when I am tired, so I try and make my important decisions earlier in the day when I have more energy!
I love how your animators always leave small hints and references to fandom things. I almost screamed when I saw Puppycat characters and art style that reminds of the original show. It is wonderful, thank you for the video.
For some of these statistics I'm thinking ... "But couldn't the depression or anxiety be the cause of this, rather this being the cause of depression or anxiety?" Like I'm sure not drinking enough water could go either way, but typically I feel like there's quite a few people who don't clean their room because they're already in a bad state of mind, and some people who don't clean their room that have fine mental health (tho personally i at least like to keep my room semi-clean, enough to know where everything is and have a decently fast cleanup but not cleaning/sorting/etc everyday)
One good way to getting out of your comfort zone and to stop overthinking is to go somewhere alone that you would usually go with someone else, i.e a restaurant or movie theater. And just being there and feeling somewhat awkward will help take your mind off certain things, and even if you do get bad anxiety in public, doing this will help you build confidence.
I love this video, the only problem I have with it is that it manipulates the results of the studies a lot. Sure there might be a correlation between a cluttered room and bad mental health but it is extremely unlikely that a bit of mess is what's making you depressed. It's far more likely that your room is messy because of your bad mental health, or that another factor causes both things, eg. an overwhelming amount of work
It was not said that a messy room causes depression, but that a tidy room can ease the effects of it. By keeping the room cluttered you maintain the level of depression and that’s why it hurts you, so if you do something about it, you might feel a bit better
@@roybs848 "people with cluttered living spaces were more likely to be fatigued and depressed" implies that they are depressed because of the room, which is manipulating the results of the studies. It could have been said as "people who were depressed and fatigued were more likely to have cluttered rooms", which is far more accurate.
@@charlotteharwood1889 I agree with you but kepe in mind that this video is short and doesn’t cover everything Personally I do most of the things correctly but I am still down (and sad)
Is cleaning your room not good advice? Has there been any studies that say the pressure from having to clean the bedroom everyday gives people more anxiety? If not, I don't see the value in nitpicking.
After reading a study on how binge-watching affects people's ability to remember a show (it's a similar effect to cramming before a test: both are mostly forgotten by next week), I've made it a personal policy to never watch more than two episodes of the same show in one day. It's actually given me a huge boost to my creativity! When an episode leaves on a cliffhanger, it gives me ideas for what might happen next!
The art here is so expressive, and the tone of voice is incredibly calming. I feel relaxed and enlightened. Some of this information I was already aware of, but I felt like I was learning it in a new way. Thank you. The world needs more information on well-being, and I'm glad you're providing it.
Recently diagnosed with an anxiety disorder here: my daily life started to get much better once I cut out about half of these things. Obviously, I've also gotten professional help too, but like with school, "studying" outside of your therapy sessions, aka doing "homework", will help you a lot when it comes to building healthy habits for the future
Particularly difficult since i got back into lego. I have a full table of crap that I just throw a cloth of shame over since sorting it is like a weeks work.
This is such a bullshit thing though. Yes, people with dirty rooms tend to have depression and fatigue; maybe that is why they aren't cleaning the damned room.
The problem with over thinking is that it often stem from anxiety. For me I have GAD & I try my best not to over think, but it’s just part of it, but therapy helps me. I also find talking to loved ones helps me to ground myself Also, a messy room is often caused by depression. So try picking up 10 things or at least put things where they belong when you’re done using them. If you’re more energetic at the time clean for 5 minutes
Or better yet, just keep setting your task to be to put 1 thing away. That way you are much more likely to put 1 thing away 10 times than 10 things away in one go
I overthink alot of things.. doesn't help I mostly kept my feelings to myself sometimes cause idk how to show em or be ok being open about some things..I'm trying but it's not always easy for me..
@@kimberlybogert7031 If you have a lot of thoughts that you don’t want to share, try writing them down. It might help with your problem… it helped me with bad thoughts or just overthinking in general so it might help you?
@@Burning_Marshmallow yeah I was doing that for a bit but kinda fell off of it and end up drawing in it but I'm gonna try doing that again cause it does help some.
@@kimberlybogert7031 I’ve recently been doing stick figure drawings when I’ve been feeling yuck inside. It sounds like you might prefer drawing than writing things down. Maybe you can express your emotions in a drawing, and then show them to people you trust if you want - or you could write down what you think the drawing means
I think people need to pay more attention to their mental health. The little things we often ignore might just be affecting our mental health, even without our awareness. We need more videos like this one to create the awareness and tell us more about how to manage our mental health.

I struggle with a ton of anxiety, and I'm a super empathic person, so I usually stay away from people, either because they're too loud (anxiety trigger), or because I am too susceptible to their emotions (empathy trigger). Your voice and your cadence are better than music for someone like me, because I really feel relaxed, and at the same time, I learn tools to deal with my anxiety and isolation issues. Because of that, I wanted to give you a sincere thanks.
So I do agree with what you say. Some of these like for example of not cleaning your room could be a result of not having the motivation or drive with low dopamine or serotonin levels, or skipping meals because of anxiety and stress. It can be inverted like in the case where you didn't clean your room and you feel depressed and subconsciously you feel like you are losing control of your life but rather by cleaning your room you maintain a safe sense of control in your surroundings. Never the less you are right and so is @Psych2Go but the importance of this video is if you do realise you have any of these talk with a friend or family member Mayne a mentor and potentially seek some help because these could potentially get worse down the line. Remember love is always important in showing it to yourself and others. Have a great day/night.
Also, I am not professionally qualified as a psychologist, just studying theology and counseling. So anything I say take with a pinch of salt, pepper and sugar if you so wish 😂
It's amazing how closely connected physical and mental health are... or perhaps it's more accurate to call-out how we've been taught to view them as completely separate things.
After watching so many videos in this channel I've realised that I have damaged my mental health unintentionally and lately had too many break downs etc. So, I decided to go to therapy and I encourage everyone to check themselves, at least once in a while. See you on the next one
I love how over the years the audio has become more engaging, with the right amount of humor💕 THANK YOU for your continued kindness and support to help the world with mental health care✨🌿 we LOVE you❤️🔥
I found this channel quite a long time ago but have always avoided it, fearing it confirms depression or anxiety that I may have and in a way gives me an "excuse" of some sort (like saying that I'm depressed because a video said so, therefore I have an excuse why I'm trash at doing anything lol), but I missed the point entirely. Shouldn't have focused on the implications or symptoms (which birthed the confirmation bias issue) but rather I should've put the tips into practice, since all of them actually make perfect sense, both physically and (hopefully) mentally. This video, and one other about toxic traits in every mbti profile, actually gave me hope/solution in trying to change myself, not the default throwaway answer you'll get from basically anyone. So I'm very grateful for this, psych2go team 🙇♂️. Although I must admit, you don't choose overthinking, _it chooses you_ , so that's still a puzzle to me. Anyway, cheers, thank you for the video.
Watching this channel grow and improve is beautiful. I've been here since about 6 years ago and I have never seen an outcome so beautiful. I'm proud of you guys for coming this far with this channel!
I just came home from a friend’s wedding. I’m realising that won’t ever be me and I won’t ever experience love, companionship etc. I’m trying to hold out for the light at the end of the tunnel, unfortunately I’m now come to the point where I can’t keep going. I’ve got no more room in my heart for more disappointment, and empty words and promises.
You deserve to be loved or to love. I wish you could find love, compenionship etc in your life. I know it is easy to say but still I hope you will be able to keep going. I support you!
My roommate told me as long as I have a purpose for living; a joy; a hobby; a thing I love to do and talk about than I have a reason to live. I may not receive the love, affection, respect, etc. I deserve but I have a reason to keep living. The room may appear dark but to not let the darkness win and completely steal your joy I challenge You to keep going. Just put one foot in front of the other. Go for a walk. Practice deep breathing. Laugh at a comedian. Count your blessings. You are a strong person. Love yourself. You are beautiful. You are kind. My spirit loves you and wants the best for you. I believe in you.
Started watching this video to try to come down from a panic attack. Y'know I'm stressed when I hear #1, too much coffee, and my reaction is immediately more stress and anger, because I haven't had coffee for a couple months now, and I miss it. It was the thing that helped me start off the day in a good mood, a treat for at least having the will to get out of bed, but I can't get it now, because my roomie's car's motor is shot, and I can't get to the only place that sells my brand now. Today's started off rough. Maybe I could just order it online or something. Good video though, as always you guys.
You give yourself too much to think about. Turn the volume down. No earbuds, or 24/7 music. Stop watching videos/playing games/music an hour or so before bed. Use less screens for anything, actually. The less there is to echo around in your head, the less echoes there'll be.
Can I just say that this has to be my favorite episode from an artistic perspective? The art style used for this one was so cute, charming and relaxing. It just added to the mellow vibe that these videos always portray. Mara Licardo is your animator for this one, yes? Be sure to give them a raise! ^^
I'm a student in high school and the junk food one is very hard to control because my parents almost never buy healthy things. I recommend it but they just don't buy it normally. It's pretty stressful
Not only you're so helpful about our mental state, but the animation is beautiful (dunno it you make it or someone else) the colours together are so pleasant to look at
I really needed to see this video, I do all the things mentioned and ive been putting off trying to get better. It's hard when you're a high school student and there is a lot of pressure 😖
I enjoyed the video. Beautiful artwork and lot of good points were made. However correlation doesn't equal causation. It is possible and even likely that some of the things that make our mental health worse are themselves caused by poor mental health. Yes a cluttered room can make you feel worse but at the same time poor mental health or stress in general can make it hard to tidy up or stay organized. The same is true for eating regularly and somewhat healthy and fresh foods. So if you're struggling (I am too): It's okay. Try to make positive changes but don't beat yourself up if it's hard.
It's not easy, to having to skip meals or only eating junk food because it's all you can afford. That 2 dollar cheeseburger from McDonald's might be my only meal of the day because I found enough money on the street and loose change. And as for my cluttered room- I've been trying a year and a half to get it cleaned up when I lost my home of eleven years in a violent break-up. As much healing as your videos have done, and do for others, this one feels... Unintentionally hurtful in specific cases. And I know that what was meant by it, it just hits wrong today for me... Sometimes we are trapped in a cycle of poor mental health by our communities and environment, and that's not something we can help with a can-do attitude. It just takes time and the help of others even. I know my circumstances aren't what this video was the target of, but this one time, I can't give a like... I just couldn't agree with it for myself. I still will look forward to future postings, so may you not feel bad if you see this comment... Just my two cents.
I agree with the food issue ,since I rarely have time to eat at meal times and the money issue too , so maybe you are right this stiff advices aren't easy to stick to always due to environmental reasons ,but they are beneficial nonetheless so maybe try to adjust them to your life ,for example with the little money you spend on a burger try buying a raw egg and some tomatoes or something, boil and cut and you got your self a little homemade sandwich, no time okay ,then before heading to work / study pack your self a cheese sandwich, salad ,just cut some random veggies and put them on a container to use them whenever, I am sure there are videos out there about this so try it out , in general eating healthy shouldn't be more expensive then junk food ,I think we just find it easier and more delicious and that's why it's addictive, as for eating on time ,lunch could be a problem for me ,but I am sure I can find a good 15 mint for breakfast and dinner if I just woke up earlier or dropped my phone ,what about you ? , as for the room I didn't quite understand your issue with it but you do have a home right now ,right , I hope you do , if yes then the best way to keep it organized is to make it a habit to tidy up after whatever activity you are doing, I mean whatever, just the simple old rule of picking up your dishes after you done eating and preferably wash them right away ,cause it's take two mints most if done right away specifically if you live alone but if you leave them for a day then it's gonna take more time and thus be harder to do , some with clothes, beds ,shoes whatever, make organizing after your self a habit ,it will make your life much easier, all in all , if I got you right I think them assuming that everyone should be have food on their table ,a roof over their head and other privileges that we take for granted is what offended you but honestly I think it's a generale reasonable assumption otherwise we will start seeing potential charity cases in everyone , and more importantly this is just text book instructions that should be implied to one's life however you can and see fit ,I hope I didn't sound to offending my self since I tend to preach much specially when I suck at life too, and sorry if I did , good luck
Hey, is that part about the 2$ McD's burger for real? I am concerned for your situation, it feels like saying "you have it rough" won't do it justice. Idk what it is you got, but i wish it gets better for you, man
Hi :) I'm not sure if this advice will help with your specific situation, but in terms of easy money I can recommend transcribing: you can do that wherever you want as long as you have a phone or laptop, and you don't have to talk to anyone either since you get sent voice messages to transcribe. I hope this helps maybe a little bit and wish you the best of luck
@@balsamon69 2$ McD's burger is real. My mom used to stress out how to feed three kids. She was never a bad mother, but being a single mother all of a sudden hit her hard.
I totally agree with u- honestly I cant bring myself to like it either because its so damn frustrating- ik its good to have a clean room and eat healthy but I cant keep my room clean for 1 day… and sometimes junk food was all i could eat cuz there wasnt anything else
thanks for these videos! I've been improving my life since 2020, and am close to over-coming my depression by studying these bad things and things I should do to lesson the amount of depressive episodes. you're a life saver for real♥️

A big thing to keep in mind is to keep yourself in check even when you feel like absolute hell. You haven't taken care of your mental health cause you didn't feel like it? Still do it. Even if it doesn't seem like much, stuff like cleaning your room, taking a bath, brushing your teeth, eating something small, drinking some water, ect will help you feel so much better. It seems overwhelming, but, once you do all of that, you're gonna feel 10x better than how you would be if you didn't do it and you'll thank yourself that you pulled yourself through. A thing I go by is this: The reason why I feel better is because I'm doing stuff that improves my health, and if I wanna continue feeling this good, I gotta keep doing the things that make me feel better in the first place. It's a cycle and it's something you gotta keep going.
I actually am guilty of two of these things. Not drinking enough water and over thinking. I knew over thinking wasn’t good for mental health, but I didn’t know not drinking enough water was. I do tend to feel mentally exhausted and I don’t drink a lot of water throughout the day. Thank you for sharing this information. I will try my best to drink more water everyday. And, again, Thank You 😊
I find myself displaying most of these signs. I do suffer from MDD. I find myself questioning my sanity as of late. I’m also at a point in my life where there’s a lot going on. The death my grandfather, my father, and my daughter got her diagnosis. Im sure everyone has felt like “Wow this video was made for me!” And that is how I feel about this. Psycho2Go’s videos provide me with more help than the last 20 years of therapy did. Keep the videos coming :)
A lot of these symptoms make me ask the age old question "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" I have no doubt there is a high correlation between having stress/anxiety and these behaviors at the same time, but I can't help but wonder which is the symptom and which is the cause. Also, to answer your question in bingewatching, I've been enjoying HunterxHunter lately. I managed to get my mom hooked on it and we've been watching a few episodes a day of it together.
I don’t plan on getting better because I don’t know how to. Therapy is a bit too expensive for me while I’m in high school without a scholarship, and schoolwork takes up all my time because I get distracted easily, probably from lack of sleep. Somniphobia is hard; you suffer every night overthinking about what could possibly happen to you or close family and friends while your asleep. It’s not that I choose to not sleep, I just have a fricking mirror closet and I have the phobia of mirrors. I feel like someone is watching me from the other side of the mirror, don’t judge me I can’t help it. This leads in to my fear of being watched, whether it’s by people, recordings, and I literally fear cameras that are being pointed at me. Not my fault I had such gory nightmares when I was 6, and it’s not my fault that my parents neglected me to take care of my younger sibling. I just feel like it’s my fault for existing and being in someone’s presence due to being emotionally neglected almost all my life. I’ve been at my breaking point, and I don’t know what to do. The only thing I can think of is self harm… I appreciate any of you who read this entire thing, and sorry about that I just needed to vent a bit since I don’t have a therapist.
I actually needed the reminder for water, so thanks. I've been making steps to improve in a lot of these areas. I've eliminated soda from my diet except for very rare occasions. Like over a year since the last time I had one. I also need to work on posture, but it has been very difficult with my chronic pain issues. Probably my all time favorite anime is Rorouni Kenshin, but there are so many good ones out there I could list a lot of stuff I enjoy. I don't listen to K-Pop that I know of. Most of the music I listen to is from video games.
I WILL NOT GIVE UP BINGEING I don't care how it make me feel, I don't care if enjoy it less, there is nothing comparable to the pure immersion of bingeing!
Sometimes the extent of a trauma/ ptsd comes once you (finally) are able to get out of that bad situation. I'm currently dealing with that now: even though I'm away from the person that caused this I still feel paranoid and scared even if that person isn't there. I know it will just take time for my mind to understand I am no longer in that situation, and I'm seeing a therapist about this next week. I can tell I don't drink that well and eat more junk, and my body hurts due to tension and bad posture. But I will get through this because now I'm finally in a situation where I have the option of healing ❤️ Small advice to anyone who needs it: you will never be able to heal properly in a toxic place/ situation. So do whatever you can to get out of that situation because you deserve to heal in a healthy and loving place ❤️
I can't just runaway from my parents i still have a weird love for them even though they're mean...besides i don't have enough money to buy my own house yet
@@Killua_Zoldyck3407 The housing market is insane right now, but if you grab a trusty potential roommate or two the costs could be minimized. Anywho, if you value the familiarity of your current relationship with them more than your own mental health (as humans tend to do, I don't want to bash you) then who am I to try to convince you otherwise? Although, if you take some time and physically separate yourself from them for a little maybe both parties can get an insight on the relationship and how they can compromise to have a healthier relationship moving forward
@@Killua_Zoldyck3407 Hiii :) Just to be clear I am definitely not advising to run away. But I can definitely recommend for example living in dorms or living with friends once you're old enough. At the time I should've taken that decision and I regret not taking it, because now that I'm in a stable home I notice that the healing process is a lot easier and I feel a lot happier due to lack of extra stress💜
Sorry to be a little nitpicky here, but for the 2nd part, other variables could be in play, such as the person having depression. They would, in general, have less motivation to clean their room, making the messy room most likely not the cause for their mental health issues. The same goes for fatigue. However, it is true that a cleaner room would lead to a better feeling of control and routine, improving mental health. Other than that slight problem, which really isn’t even that much of a problem, great video! You did your research very well!
what is it with Psych2Go releasing highly relatable videos when i need them the most? You guys are lifesavers. In my cae i have a bad posture, don't clean my room (since there's not much stuff to begin with), eat lots of junk food and overthink a lot, and i mean a lot. Guess i have to be self-aware of my destructive habits and try to change them.
As much as I hurts to know that almost all of these apply to me, I’m sure as well as many others, the lack of motivation to actually try to fix them is almost nonexistent. I couldn’t care less anymore even when I really try
I'm a person who skip meals sometimes and never knew that it can lead to my problems like stress 😬 gonna change it next time I hope you guys have a great day 👍
Tip: overcome issues one day at a time. Tell yourself you’ll live through today and say it again tomorrow and forever Just put one foot in front of the other. You got this and You are not alone. Also, I think they forgot about reading/watching the news. They mainly focus on greed, death, and war.
Binge-watched Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. But even if I did pace my viewing accordingly, it still would have left me feeling empty. But on a serious note, thank you for making these videos.

I do probably 7 out of 8 things that you mentioned. Thank you for this video, it helps me to figure out why I feel sad for no reason. I'll be trying my best to improve on my mental health, this video is so helpful and with practical tips too.
I'll second the "Not Cleaning Your Room." I've lost track of the number of times I've started feeling depressed, then cleaned my living space and felt suddenly better.
yesssss i was looking for this comment!! sometimes it feels like I'm the only one who sees fandom references in their videos but it's so cool to know that there are also people out there who understand these hints :>
Thank you so much! Recently, I’ve been wondering why I’ve been having a harder time controlling my emotions and I think I haven’t been drinking enough water. I never knew mental health was so closely tied to drinking water.
I don't drink coffee, but I'm guilty of everything else. Thank you so much! My ADHD has been flipping out lately, which has in turn caused me stress and made me more of an introvert. Thank you so much again this will really help
It totally feels weird to hear the thing about posture! I have horrible posture half the time and it’s said that since I have scoliosis it’s expected for me to sit in the way I do (criss-cross applesauce, elbows on knees, head forward). I find the way I sit very comfortable but I might as well give sitting up straight a bit more often a shot to see how I feel after! Thanks for the advice! ❤
I have bipolar disorder and I sometimes wonder what triggered my major manic episode which put me in hospital. At the time, I was convinced it was from smoking too much weed, but I realize now that it could also have been from eating too much junk food, not drinking enough water, and living in a messy house full of mice. I've gotten myself out of that situation, but still struggle to keep my new place clean. I also try not to overthink, but it's extra difficult since I also struggle with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, this video really helped me and I'm definitely going to work on my posture and eating less junk food.
Just wanted to point out, correlation =/= causation. If a study shows a correlation between binge watching and depression for instance, it doesn't necessarily imply binge watching is a causational factor toward depression. In fact, it can also be the other way around. Myself for instance, I have been diagnosed with depression, and am also an avid binge-watcher (It's 3am and I swore I'd go to sleep 2 hours ago... whoops). But to me, binge-watching is more of a coping mechanism to deal with my poor mental health. To keep occupied and distracted from painful thoughts. If I try to go to sleep while I'm not really tired, unpleasant thoughts run rampant, and cause such intense panic and distress that I can no longer sleep at all, so I end up forcefully keeping occupied until I pretty much pass out of exhaustion. Naturally, making sure you adopt healthy behaviours is always the good way to go, and stuff such as this is definitely unhealthy. However I wanted to point out that these behaviours do not necessarily precede depression, but may be caused by depression instead.
I completely agree with you. To me all the points sound more just like correlation. For sleeping I'd have some advice, as I also suffer from an overactive mind filled with painful thoughts, so that I have to distract myself constantly. But I know it's unsolicited advice, so feel free to ignore it. But if you want I'd recommend trying asmr to fall asleep. As long as it's chaotic it keeps my mind occupied but it's still calmer than series. E.g. Luna Bloom ASMR got quite a good balance of chaotic and calming for me. Idk, if it works for you, but I thought I'd share, in case it does./gen
Oh lol that could explain a lot bc I don't clean my room,I have bad posture,I don't drink enough water,I skip meals,binge watch,I overthink but good video!! You're doing great
I’m proud to say that I have let go of those habits, I’m better with eating, sleeping, don’t drink coffee at all, I don’t watch too much tv and I get good exercise and drink lots of water, only thing is that overthinking is a bad habit but I’m getting better about it
I grew out of my anime phase, but right now I like podcasts. I struggle to keep up with the visuals that things like movies and shows have, not only that but just listening to voices talking helps me fall asleep. This video is really helpful! I'ma send it to my friend, they really need it right now.
Thank you! I feel so joyful and happy to have found this channel :) It's really needed and it helps me to understand myself and how to identify the problems with my mental health 💚
I think a lot of these just have the cause and effect switched around. When you're depressed or anxious you take less care of yourself: you don't eat or eat junk, don't clean your room, forget to drink water, and binge watch things to numb your mind. They don't cause depression, they are an effect of being depressed.
I am an avid #MentalHealthAwareness advocate and spoken word performer, and I love this so much. I travel the country trying to bring that awareness on stages, in classrooms, hospitals, and on my RUclips channel, so I get excited when I see other advocates. 💙❤
This is terrifying how I've been doing this to my mental health! This helped me a lot, I'll be drinking more water cause at school my water bottle is always full, and never has been consumed the WHOLE entire day. Thank you Psych2Go! 🎉
I don't drink caffeine since my mother always tells me it'll affect my brain and make me fail academically. I skip meals, I overthink, and I sometimes don't drink water at all. I don't like assuming that I'm depressed or the mentally bad things that affect most teenagers since I'm still a kid(I was told to not think like I have depression or such because I'm still a kid or I'm too young), but I do know that I have anxiety and paranoia. I don't like thinking that I'm depressed, sleep deprived, stressed, or suicidal cause some people might think that I'm just assuming things and that I shouldn't be taking these mental illnesses as a "joke" I've been called an assumer many times before and it makes me not like myself. Sometimes I just accept the fact that people badmouth because of a 'good reason', being compared is something daily that happens in our household and the things that are 'normal' here are apparently not normal to any other household and that makes me feel self-conscious
I basically do all of this... it's shocking. I try to stop but I just can't. Well, thank you for making this video, it made me realize just why my mental health slowly gets worse. I'll try to recover.
At the messy room part, I almost started crying because my room is super messy and does not fit my aesthetic AT ALL. And I want to change that but I have no motivation :(
Hello there, I totally know, that the second point is one of the things, that hurt my mental health. The problem is, that I don't have my own room and the flat I'm living in is too small for my family. I can't wait to move out, because when I live somewhere else, I will finally have my own personal space! But until that happens, my mental health could get worse. Even though I try to tidy our place up, it doesn't really help. I often get totally overwhelmed and my depression and anxiety are making it even worse. I don't really know, what I should do until I finally move out.
0:39 I don’t drink coffee at all or very rarely, so it isn’t a problem for me luckily 1:12 I need to clean my room still 😭 1:49 I need to work on my posture, my shoulders and neck are constantly tense and awkward 2:14 I once accidentally deprived myself of so much water that my body shut down for a split second and I blacked out. I’d shown signs of it before, suddenly feeling fatigue and nearly fainting and having to catch myself, but just shrugged it off as “normal”. 2:51 I only ever skip meals when I’m not at home, or in my comfort zone. If I’m at a different house, I’ll usually eat breakfast, some snacks, and maybe dinner. 3:34 Gotten over my binge watching phase after Avatar: The Last Airbender, but maybe if the right show pops up the habit will return lol 3:59 I’m horrible with this. I’m not a very healthy person 🥲 4:48 ME EVERY DAY. I struggle with this and it makes me freeze up and panic in situations that need quick decision. I need a long time to process the situation in full, and I have a fear of regretting decisions and have a hard time letting go of decisions in the past, so the seemingly small decision seems life changing or with possible hidden consequences.
lol I really needed the reminder to drink more water. Glad to know that my 2 cups of coffee a day isn't too excessive!! also going to clean my room now. I KNOW all these things help but most of them are the first to go when I get stressed or busy. Thanks for the reminder! and guys, it's ok to fall off the bandwagon on healthy habits, you can pick them up again anytime! no shame!
How dare you read my mind right now In all seriousness at least 5 of these smacked me in the face and I'm sitting here bridging a meltdown, this helps.
I swear, whenever I have a mental problems or other problems you guys always upload videos of how I've been feeling or of things happening to explain everything Scary lol But I swear you guys just know when I need them and thank you so much on making these videos for everyone I've learned so much and have been improving on myself and relationships I have from these ❤
If you are going through a hard phase, keep on going, cuz we must focus to see the light, these challenges are here to teach us important lessons. And as a popular saying goes, life throws hardest challenges at toughest and strongest people. Love yourself and embrace yourself. Stand in front of the mirror, and give yourself a high five with the most beautiful smile.
Your profile picture being keqing makes this comment even more comforting
I wish I could believe what you say.
This is the sweetest comment ever your beutiful from your amazing heart💜
That made me feel better❤️ thank you
As it is impossible that a talentless man of misfortune like me grow fond of himself, this practice therefore comes to be a practice of futility. I cannot allow myself nor anyone else on the outwards to sow in me the seed of self-love, since it would eventually wither away without the essential preconditions in place-like a flower that is never watered. A flower that receives not even a single drop of water will wither as time moves forwards into the future, leading the plant to this unfortunate eventuality, and so will my self-love under such conditions which are too dire for it to survive and flourish evermore. There is no purpose whatsoever in cultivating and practicing self-love when you know that soon it is to deaden.

I found it genuinely scary just how many of these things I do myself regularly, but reassuring that these are common enough that they've been identified as intricately linked to mental health with enough evidence to even get me to do something about my habits. Great video!
do keep in mind that some of these may be coping mechanisms. as long as it's a corallation studdies it can also mean that depressed people are more likely to binge watch or not clean their room rather than these things causing the mental illness or maybe a common factor causing both mental illness and bad habbits etc.. so yes healthy habits are very important but mostly don't stress yourself if you can't improve all of these things at once.
I thought the same 😅 I wasn't ready to be called out.

"What mental health needs is more sunlight, more candour, and more unashamed conversation." - Glenn Close
-is cleaning the room the cause or an effect of depressed mood?
-is forgetting to eat or drink also just a cause, or also an effect of a depressed mood? (i recommend using an alarm to establish a routine, but alarms raise my anxiety and aggression levels LOL so ymmv)
-are there tips and tricks that you have to prevent overthinking and overanalyzing?
I just have to remind myself at times to not overthink if I'm struggling with thought.
@Amber Patoc Thank you for teaching me a new word today.
For overthinking or overanalysing:
Are you able to redirect those thoughts onto overanalysing less harmful topics? I usually use that to help like thinking about alternate history scenarios in depth and watching alternate history hub. It wont work for everyone but its worth a try at least once.
Yeah some of these things don’t seem like they’re just contributing to bad mental health, but that they might be caused by already existing mental health, and yes may make it worse
Sorry for the text block! TL;DR: write down thoughts/decisions you are struggling with, make yourself timelines for decisions, and give yourself compassion = it's okay to make a wrong decision on small stuff especially when it doesn't affect anyone else, background noise can be a good friend to the overthinker/ruminator. When you are really stuck in a spiral, try and get outside or do some physical exercise.
I tend to overthink and overanalyze as well, these are some things I found helpful. If I find myself overthinking during my free time I will listen to something in the background like a song I like or a podcast so I can pay attention to that rather than overthinking. I will also go for a walk or do some form of exercise, that always puts me in a good mood and the physicality of it gives me a sense of empowerment. It also slows down my brain and looking at nature gives me the sense that my problems are small and manageable. On big decisions, I will sit down and make a list (I really like lists) of pros and cons and be brutally honest about both and my own capabilities. I also will either give myself a deadline if it needs to made now (I tell someone I will give them my decision before lunch etc.), or I'll remind myself that I have time and put it on the back burner (You don't have to decide on _________ for another two years! chill). I also find that putting all my thoughts or considerations on paper helps get it out of my head and I don't have to try and work hard to remember my thoughts. For more day-to-day decisions, I try and give myself compassion (it's okay if you don't like the food you ate at the restaurant, try something new! or, it's okay to just eat the same thing there every time, you know you like it). I also find that I overthink more when I am tired, so I try and make my important decisions earlier in the day when I have more energy!
I love how your animators always leave small hints and references to fandom things. I almost screamed when I saw Puppycat characters and art style that reminds of the original show. It is wonderful, thank you for the video.
For some of these statistics I'm thinking ... "But couldn't the depression or anxiety be the cause of this, rather this being the cause of depression or anxiety?" Like I'm sure not drinking enough water could go either way, but typically I feel like there's quite a few people who don't clean their room because they're already in a bad state of mind, and some people who don't clean their room that have fine mental health (tho personally i at least like to keep my room semi-clean, enough to know where everything is and have a decently fast cleanup but not cleaning/sorting/etc everyday)
One good way to getting out of your comfort zone and to stop overthinking is to go somewhere alone that you would usually go with someone else, i.e a restaurant or movie theater. And just being there and feeling somewhat awkward will help take your mind off certain things, and even if you do get bad anxiety in public, doing this will help you build confidence.
I'll try it thanks!
Bold of you to assume I usually go with someone else
@@feddy1103 haha that's the spirit
Sometimes it's hard to tell weather I go places alone because im single or because I like being alone sometimes.
I totally agree. The feeling you get of self-sufficiency is fantastic. It personally makes me feel so alive. I would encourage anybody to try it.
I love this video, the only problem I have with it is that it manipulates the results of the studies a lot. Sure there might be a correlation between a cluttered room and bad mental health but it is extremely unlikely that a bit of mess is what's making you depressed. It's far more likely that your room is messy because of your bad mental health, or that another factor causes both things, eg. an overwhelming amount of work
It was not said that a messy room causes depression, but that a tidy room can ease the effects of it.
By keeping the room cluttered you maintain the level of depression and that’s why it hurts you, so if you do something about it, you might feel a bit better
@@roybs848 "people with cluttered living spaces were more likely to be fatigued and depressed" implies that they are depressed because of the room, which is manipulating the results of the studies. It could have been said as "people who were depressed and fatigued were more likely to have cluttered rooms", which is far more accurate.
@@charlotteharwood1889 I agree with you but kepe in mind that this video is short and doesn’t cover everything
Personally I do most of the things correctly but I am still down (and sad)
Is cleaning your room not good advice? Has there been any studies that say the pressure from having to clean the bedroom everyday gives people more anxiety? If not, I don't see the value in nitpicking.
@@wesleywallace4426 they didn't say it was not good advice they said that it wasn't the cause of it like the people in this say
I love how compassionately you care about mental health. I been following for awhile and I deeply appreciate all you do. Thank you. Keep going!
Thank you for your support, Monica!
Shut up
After reading a study on how binge-watching affects people's ability to remember a show (it's a similar effect to cramming before a test: both are mostly forgotten by next week), I've made it a personal policy to never watch more than two episodes of the same show in one day.
It's actually given me a huge boost to my creativity! When an episode leaves on a cliffhanger, it gives me ideas for what might happen next!
That’s really smart! I don’t watch many TV shows but it sounds like something one could use elsewhere too!
The art here is so expressive, and the tone of voice is incredibly calming. I feel relaxed and enlightened. Some of this information I was already aware of, but I felt like I was learning it in a new way. Thank you. The world needs more information on well-being, and I'm glad you're providing it.
I think the exact opposite. The voice and tone are incredibly irritating and make it hard to watch
Recently diagnosed with an anxiety disorder here: my daily life started to get much better once I cut out about half of these things. Obviously, I've also gotten professional help too, but like with school, "studying" outside of your therapy sessions, aka doing "homework", will help you a lot when it comes to building healthy habits for the future
I’m a huge advocate of keeping your surroundings organized. Really feels like it’s a direct correlation with my head and mood.
100% agree. This is huge for me. Everytime I'm going through a bad time I find that my room and overall surroundings are a mess.
Particularly difficult since i got back into lego. I have a full table of crap that I just throw a cloth of shame over since sorting it is like a weeks work.
Kinda why I'm slowly organising my stuff, step by step.
This is such a bullshit thing though. Yes, people with dirty rooms tend to have depression and fatigue; maybe that is why they aren't cleaning the damned room.
It made me feel worse when i had a clean room for me. Now it isnt because i just need enough space for my stuff and dont have anything to clean
The problem with over thinking is that it often stem from anxiety. For me I have GAD & I try my best not to over think, but it’s just part of it, but therapy helps me. I also find talking to loved ones helps me to ground myself
Also, a messy room is often caused by depression. So try picking up 10 things or at least put things where they belong when you’re done using them. If you’re more energetic at the time clean for 5 minutes
Or better yet, just keep setting your task to be to put 1 thing away. That way you are much more likely to put 1 thing away 10 times than 10 things away in one go
I overthink alot of things.. doesn't help I mostly kept my feelings to myself sometimes cause idk how to show em or be ok being open about some things..I'm trying but it's not always easy for me..
@@kimberlybogert7031 If you have a lot of thoughts that you don’t want to share, try writing them down. It might help with your problem… it helped me with bad thoughts or just overthinking in general so it might help you?
@@Burning_Marshmallow yeah I was doing that for a bit but kinda fell off of it and end up drawing in it but I'm gonna try doing that again cause it does help some.
@@kimberlybogert7031 I’ve recently been doing stick figure drawings when I’ve been feeling yuck inside. It sounds like you might prefer drawing than writing things down. Maybe you can express your emotions in a drawing, and then show them to people you trust if you want - or you could write down what you think the drawing means
I think people need to pay more attention to their mental health. The little things we often ignore might just be affecting our mental health, even without our awareness. We need more videos like this one to create the awareness and tell us more about how to manage our mental health.

"juck food"
that typo is hilarious lol
“Juck food”
Sorry for the typo guys the few days have been rough
I struggle with a ton of anxiety, and I'm a super empathic person, so I usually stay away from people, either because they're too loud (anxiety trigger), or because I am too susceptible to their emotions (empathy trigger). Your voice and your cadence are better than music for someone like me, because I really feel relaxed, and at the same time, I learn tools to deal with my anxiety and isolation issues.
Because of that, I wanted to give you a sincere thanks.
Remember correlation =/= causation. Some of these things may be effects of mental health issues or are just more prevalent with them in general
So I do agree with what you say.
Some of these like for example of not cleaning your room could be a result of not having the motivation or drive with low dopamine or serotonin levels, or skipping meals because of anxiety and stress.
It can be inverted like in the case where you didn't clean your room and you feel depressed and subconsciously you feel like you are losing control of your life but rather by cleaning your room you maintain a safe sense of control in your surroundings.
Never the less you are right and so is @Psych2Go but the importance of this video is if you do realise you have any of these talk with a friend or family member Mayne a mentor and potentially seek some help because these could potentially get worse down the line.
Remember love is always important in showing it to yourself and others.
Have a great day/night.
Also, I am not professionally qualified as a psychologist, just studying theology and counseling. So anything I say take with a pinch of salt, pepper and sugar if you so wish 😂
It's amazing how closely connected physical and mental health are... or perhaps it's more accurate to call-out how we've been taught to view them as completely separate things.
After watching so many videos in this channel I've realised that I have damaged my mental health unintentionally and lately had too many break downs etc. So, I decided to go to therapy and I encourage everyone to check themselves, at least once in a while. See you on the next one
I love how over the years the audio has become more engaging, with the right amount of humor💕 THANK YOU for your continued kindness and support to help the world with mental health care✨🌿 we LOVE you❤️🔥
Having good mental health is the most important thing and knowing what can be making it worse is crucial, as always great video :)
I found this channel quite a long time ago but have always avoided it, fearing it confirms depression or anxiety that I may have and in a way gives me an "excuse" of some sort (like saying that I'm depressed because a video said so, therefore I have an excuse why I'm trash at doing anything lol), but I missed the point entirely. Shouldn't have focused on the implications or symptoms (which birthed the confirmation bias issue) but rather I should've put the tips into practice, since all of them actually make perfect sense, both physically and (hopefully) mentally.
This video, and one other about toxic traits in every mbti profile, actually gave me hope/solution in trying to change myself, not the default throwaway answer you'll get from basically anyone. So I'm very grateful for this, psych2go team 🙇♂️.
Although I must admit, you don't choose overthinking, _it chooses you_ , so that's still a puzzle to me.
Anyway, cheers, thank you for the video.
I’m guilty of almost all of the 8 things that affect our mental health. My goal is to be loving and kind to myself and address these issues one by one

I just came home from a friend’s wedding. I’m realising that won’t ever be me and I won’t ever experience love, companionship etc. I’m trying to hold out for the light at the end of the tunnel, unfortunately I’m now come to the point where I can’t keep going. I’ve got no more room in my heart for more disappointment, and empty words and promises.
You deserve to be loved or to love. I wish you could find love, compenionship etc in your life. I know it is easy to say but still I hope you will be able to keep going. I support you!
My roommate told me as long as I have a purpose for living; a joy; a hobby; a thing I love to do and talk about than I have a reason to live.
I may not receive the love, affection, respect, etc. I deserve but I have a reason to keep living.
The room may appear dark but to not let the darkness win and completely steal your joy I challenge You to keep going. Just put one foot in front of the other.
Go for a walk. Practice deep breathing. Laugh at a comedian. Count your blessings. You are a strong person. Love yourself. You are beautiful. You are kind. My spirit loves you and wants the best for you. I believe in you.

Started watching this video to try to come down from a panic attack. Y'know I'm stressed when I hear #1, too much coffee, and my reaction is immediately more stress and anger, because I haven't had coffee for a couple months now, and I miss it. It was the thing that helped me start off the day in a good mood, a treat for at least having the will to get out of bed, but I can't get it now, because my roomie's car's motor is shot, and I can't get to the only place that sells my brand now. Today's started off rough. Maybe I could just order it online or something. Good video though, as always you guys.

@@evaturnquist1218 A less violent option would be very welcome ^^
You give yourself too much to think about. Turn the volume down. No earbuds, or 24/7 music. Stop watching videos/playing games/music an hour or so before bed. Use less screens for anything, actually. The less there is to echo around in your head, the less echoes there'll be.
Can I just say that this has to be my favorite episode from an artistic perspective? The art style used for this one was so cute, charming and relaxing. It just added to the mellow vibe that these videos always portray. Mara Licardo is your animator for this one, yes? Be sure to give them a raise! ^^
I'm a student in high school and the junk food one is very hard to control because my parents almost never buy healthy things. I recommend it but they just don't buy it normally. It's pretty stressful

I really needed to see this video, I do all the things mentioned and ive been putting off trying to get better. It's hard when you're a high school student and there is a lot of pressure 😖
I love this new animation style! Will you guys do more of it in the future?
I don't care for it. Please do less.
I enjoyed the video. Beautiful artwork and lot of good points were made. However correlation doesn't equal causation. It is possible and even likely that some of the things that make our mental health worse are themselves caused by poor mental health. Yes a cluttered room can make you feel worse but at the same time poor mental health or stress in general can make it hard to tidy up or stay organized. The same is true for eating regularly and somewhat healthy and fresh foods. So if you're struggling (I am too): It's okay. Try to make positive changes but don't beat yourself up if it's hard.
It's not easy, to having to skip meals or only eating junk food because it's all you can afford. That 2 dollar cheeseburger from McDonald's might be my only meal of the day because I found enough money on the street and loose change. And as for my cluttered room- I've been trying a year and a half to get it cleaned up when I lost my home of eleven years in a violent break-up. As much healing as your videos have done, and do for others, this one feels... Unintentionally hurtful in specific cases. And I know that what was meant by it, it just hits wrong today for me...
Sometimes we are trapped in a cycle of poor mental health by our communities and environment, and that's not something we can help with a can-do attitude. It just takes time and the help of others even. I know my circumstances aren't what this video was the target of, but this one time, I can't give a like... I just couldn't agree with it for myself. I still will look forward to future postings, so may you not feel bad if you see this comment... Just my two cents.
I agree with the food issue ,since I rarely have time to eat at meal times and the money issue too , so maybe you are right this stiff advices aren't easy to stick to always due to environmental reasons ,but they are beneficial nonetheless so maybe try to adjust them to your life ,for example with the little money you spend on a burger try buying a raw egg and some tomatoes or something, boil and cut and you got your self a little homemade sandwich, no time okay ,then before heading to work / study pack your self a cheese sandwich, salad ,just cut some random veggies and put them on a container to use them whenever, I am sure there are videos out there about this so try it out , in general eating healthy shouldn't be more expensive then junk food ,I think we just find it easier and more delicious and that's why it's addictive, as for eating on time ,lunch could be a problem for me ,but I am sure I can find a good 15 mint for breakfast and dinner if I just woke up earlier or dropped my phone ,what about you ? , as for the room I didn't quite understand your issue with it but you do have a home right now ,right , I hope you do , if yes then the best way to keep it organized is to make it a habit to tidy up after whatever activity you are doing, I mean whatever, just the simple old rule of picking up your dishes after you done eating and preferably wash them right away ,cause it's take two mints most if done right away specifically if you live alone but if you leave them for a day then it's gonna take more time and thus be harder to do , some with clothes, beds ,shoes whatever, make organizing after your self a habit ,it will make your life much easier, all in all , if I got you right I think them assuming that everyone should be have food on their table ,a roof over their head and other privileges that we take for granted is what offended you but honestly I think it's a generale reasonable assumption otherwise we will start seeing potential charity cases in everyone , and more importantly this is just text book instructions that should be implied to one's life however you can and see fit ,I hope I didn't sound to offending my self since I tend to preach much specially when I suck at life too, and sorry if I did , good luck

Hi :) I'm not sure if this advice will help with your specific situation, but in terms of easy money I can recommend transcribing: you can do that wherever you want as long as you have a phone or laptop, and you don't have to talk to anyone either since you get sent voice messages to transcribe. I hope this helps maybe a little bit and wish you the best of luck
@@balsamon69 2$ McD's burger is real. My mom used to stress out how to feed three kids. She was never a bad mother, but being a single mother all of a sudden hit her hard.

thanks for these videos! I've been improving my life since 2020, and am close to over-coming my depression by studying these bad things and things I should do to lesson the amount of depressive episodes. you're a life saver for real♥️

Have a good day y'all 💗
A big thing to keep in mind is to keep yourself in check even when you feel like absolute hell. You haven't taken care of your mental health cause you didn't feel like it? Still do it. Even if it doesn't seem like much, stuff like cleaning your room, taking a bath, brushing your teeth, eating something small, drinking some water, ect will help you feel so much better. It seems overwhelming, but, once you do all of that, you're gonna feel 10x better than how you would be if you didn't do it and you'll thank yourself that you pulled yourself through.
A thing I go by is this: The reason why I feel better is because I'm doing stuff that improves my health, and if I wanna continue feeling this good, I gotta keep doing the things that make me feel better in the first place.
It's a cycle and it's something you gotta keep going.
I actually am guilty of two of these things. Not drinking enough water and over thinking. I knew over thinking wasn’t good for mental health, but I didn’t know not drinking enough water was. I do tend to feel mentally exhausted and I don’t drink a lot of water throughout the day. Thank you for sharing this information. I will try my best to drink more water everyday. And, again, Thank You 😊
I find myself displaying most of these signs. I do suffer from MDD. I find myself questioning my sanity as of late. I’m also at a point in my life where there’s a lot going on. The death my grandfather, my father, and my daughter got her diagnosis. Im sure everyone has felt like “Wow this video was made for me!” And that is how I feel about this. Psycho2Go’s videos provide me with more help than the last 20 years of therapy did. Keep the videos coming :)
A lot of these symptoms make me ask the age old question "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" I have no doubt there is a high correlation between having stress/anxiety and these behaviors at the same time, but I can't help but wonder which is the symptom and which is the cause. Also, to answer your question in bingewatching, I've been enjoying HunterxHunter lately. I managed to get my mom hooked on it and we've been watching a few episodes a day of it together.
I don’t plan on getting better because I don’t know how to. Therapy is a bit too expensive for me while I’m in high school without a scholarship, and schoolwork takes up all my time because I get distracted easily, probably from lack of sleep. Somniphobia is hard; you suffer every night overthinking about what could possibly happen to you or close family and friends while your asleep. It’s not that I choose to not sleep, I just have a fricking mirror closet and I have the phobia of mirrors. I feel like someone is watching me from the other side of the mirror, don’t judge me I can’t help it. This leads in to my fear of being watched, whether it’s by people, recordings, and I literally fear cameras that are being pointed at me. Not my fault I had such gory nightmares when I was 6, and it’s not my fault that my parents neglected me to take care of my younger sibling. I just feel like it’s my fault for existing and being in someone’s presence due to being emotionally neglected almost all my life. I’ve been at my breaking point, and I don’t know what to do. The only thing I can think of is self harm…
I appreciate any of you who read this entire thing, and sorry about that I just needed to vent a bit since I don’t have a therapist.
I actually needed the reminder for water, so thanks. I've been making steps to improve in a lot of these areas. I've eliminated soda from my diet except for very rare occasions. Like over a year since the last time I had one. I also need to work on posture, but it has been very difficult with my chronic pain issues.
Probably my all time favorite anime is Rorouni Kenshin, but there are so many good ones out there I could list a lot of stuff I enjoy. I don't listen to K-Pop that I know of. Most of the music I listen to is from video games.
I WILL NOT GIVE UP BINGEING I don't care how it make me feel, I don't care if enjoy it less,
there is nothing comparable to the pure immersion of bingeing!
Sometimes the extent of a trauma/ ptsd comes once you (finally) are able to get out of that bad situation. I'm currently dealing with that now: even though I'm away from the person that caused this I still feel paranoid and scared even if that person isn't there. I know it will just take time for my mind to understand I am no longer in that situation, and I'm seeing a therapist about this next week. I can tell I don't drink that well and eat more junk, and my body hurts due to tension and bad posture. But I will get through this because now I'm finally in a situation where I have the option of healing ❤️ Small advice to anyone who needs it: you will never be able to heal properly in a toxic place/ situation. So do whatever you can to get out of that situation because you deserve to heal in a healthy and loving place ❤️
💗💗💗
I can't just runaway from my parents i still have a weird love for them even though they're mean...besides i don't have enough money to buy my own house yet
@@Killua_Zoldyck3407 The housing market is insane right now, but if you grab a trusty potential roommate or two the costs could be minimized. Anywho, if you value the familiarity of your current relationship with them more than your own mental health (as humans tend to do, I don't want to bash you) then who am I to try to convince you otherwise? Although, if you take some time and physically separate yourself from them for a little maybe both parties can get an insight on the relationship and how they can compromise to have a healthier relationship moving forward
@@Killua_Zoldyck3407 Hiii :) Just to be clear I am definitely not advising to run away. But I can definitely recommend for example living in dorms or living with friends once you're old enough. At the time I should've taken that decision and I regret not taking it, because now that I'm in a stable home I notice that the healing process is a lot easier and I feel a lot happier due to lack of extra stress💜
I am definitely in a better mood on days that I drink water and don’t miss a meal. Overthinking though. . . that’s a tough one to avoid.
Sorry to be a little nitpicky here, but for the 2nd part, other variables could be in play, such as the person having depression. They would, in general, have less motivation to clean their room, making the messy room most likely not the cause for their mental health issues. The same goes for fatigue. However, it is true that a cleaner room would lead to a better feeling of control and routine, improving mental health.
Other than that slight problem, which really isn’t even that much of a problem, great video!
You did your research very well!
what is it with Psych2Go releasing highly relatable videos when i need them the most? You guys are lifesavers. In my cae i have a bad posture, don't clean my room (since there's not much stuff to begin with), eat lots of junk food and overthink a lot, and i mean a lot. Guess i have to be self-aware of my destructive habits and try to change them.
Yes. Me too. I have to be aware of cringing different parts of my body. It is very painful. Hopefully changing some things can help.
As much as I hurts to know that almost all of these apply to me, I’m sure as well as many others, the lack of motivation to actually try to fix them is almost nonexistent. I couldn’t care less anymore even when I really try
I'm a person who skip meals sometimes and never knew that it can lead to my problems like stress 😬 gonna change it next time
I hope you guys have a great day 👍
Tip: overcome issues one day at a time.
Tell yourself you’ll live through today and say it again tomorrow and forever
Just put one foot in front of the other.
You got this and You are not alone.
Also, I think they forgot about reading/watching the news.
They mainly focus on greed, death, and war.
you guys rock for providing a free metal health awareness channel
THANK YOU FOR MINIMIZING THE JUMPING ANIMATIONS between switching frames!
Binge-watched Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. But even if I did pace my viewing accordingly, it still would have left me feeling empty.
But on a serious note, thank you for making these videos.
I love that this channel is finding people where they are and meeting them there
4:50 HOW THE HELL AM I NOT GONNA OVERTHING WHEN YOUR VIDEOS MAKE ME OVERTHINK MY MAKEING ME THINK I HAVE A SERIOUS MENTIAL ILLNESS AND I GET FREAKED OUT WHAT THE HELL HOW!?!?12?@#"@#/r%GTHYJTKPJDTH
I definitely need help with overthinking. I’m *TREMENDOUSLY* guilty of doing that all the time
I’ve never clicked so fast at a video
I spend time in front of a screen because its the only thing in my mind that really makes me happy and enjoy my life more, just watching something on youtube while lying somewhere after a hard day

The overthinking it is a form of meditation for me no matter what it seems it has helped me. . .
I have always been a brew master. They will bury me with a coffee cup in my hand!
I do probably 7 out of 8 things that you mentioned. Thank you for this video, it helps me to figure out why I feel sad for no reason. I'll be trying my best to improve on my mental health, this video is so helpful and with practical tips too.
So useful, thanks you Psych2go. I really need to drink water now, and clean my room. Btw, the art is better and better !
I'll second the "Not Cleaning Your Room." I've lost track of the number of times I've started feeling depressed, then cleaned my living space and felt suddenly better.
0:12 STICKYYYYY :D
yesssss
i was looking for this comment!!
sometimes it feels like I'm the only one who sees fandom references in their videos but it's so cool to know that there are also people out there who understand these hints :>
Thank you so much! Recently, I’ve been wondering why I’ve been having a harder time controlling my emotions and I think I haven’t been drinking enough water. I never knew mental health was so closely tied to drinking water.
I don't drink coffee, but I'm guilty of everything else. Thank you so much! My ADHD has been flipping out lately, which has in turn caused me stress and made me more of an introvert. Thank you so much again this will really help
It totally feels weird to hear the thing about posture! I have horrible posture half the time and it’s said that since I have scoliosis it’s expected for me to sit in the way I do (criss-cross applesauce, elbows on knees, head forward). I find the way I sit very comfortable but I might as well give sitting up straight a bit more often a shot to see how I feel after! Thanks for the advice! ❤
I have bipolar disorder and I sometimes wonder what triggered my major manic episode which put me in hospital. At the time, I was convinced it was from smoking too much weed, but I realize now that it could also have been from eating too much junk food, not drinking enough water, and living in a messy house full of mice. I've gotten myself out of that situation, but still struggle to keep my new place clean. I also try not to overthink, but it's extra difficult since I also struggle with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, this video really helped me and I'm definitely going to work on my posture and eating less junk food.
The fact I never take sides, am non-sided, makes me a huge exception in the videos, thus I can be the reference point to many studies.
Just wanted to point out, correlation =/= causation. If a study shows a correlation between binge watching and depression for instance, it doesn't necessarily imply binge watching is a causational factor toward depression. In fact, it can also be the other way around. Myself for instance, I have been diagnosed with depression, and am also an avid binge-watcher (It's 3am and I swore I'd go to sleep 2 hours ago... whoops). But to me, binge-watching is more of a coping mechanism to deal with my poor mental health. To keep occupied and distracted from painful thoughts. If I try to go to sleep while I'm not really tired, unpleasant thoughts run rampant, and cause such intense panic and distress that I can no longer sleep at all, so I end up forcefully keeping occupied until I pretty much pass out of exhaustion. Naturally, making sure you adopt healthy behaviours is always the good way to go, and stuff such as this is definitely unhealthy. However I wanted to point out that these behaviours do not necessarily precede depression, but may be caused by depression instead.
I completely agree with you. To me all the points sound more just like correlation.
For sleeping I'd have some advice, as I also suffer from an overactive mind filled with painful thoughts, so that I have to distract myself constantly. But I know it's unsolicited advice, so feel free to ignore it. But if you want I'd recommend trying asmr to fall asleep. As long as it's chaotic it keeps my mind occupied but it's still calmer than series. E.g. Luna Bloom ASMR got quite a good balance of chaotic and calming for me. Idk, if it works for you, but I thought I'd share, in case it does./gen
Oh lol that could explain a lot bc I don't clean my room,I have bad posture,I don't drink enough water,I skip meals,binge watch,I overthink but good video!! You're doing great
I’m proud to say that I have let go of those habits, I’m better with eating, sleeping, don’t drink coffee at all, I don’t watch too much tv and I get good exercise and drink lots of water, only thing is that overthinking is a bad habit but I’m getting better about it
Honestly, just watching videos like these are really helpful, because it makes me feel like I know more and makes my confidence go up.
Im...18 and I recently lost my self. I need help, I think I need to watch your videos again. Ive been with you for like 3 or 2 years now.
Literally I've been guilty of 7/8 of the things named in the video. Thank you! I have written it down so I can always find it and remind myself
I grew out of my anime phase, but right now I like podcasts. I struggle to keep up with the visuals that things like movies and shows have, not only that but just listening to voices talking helps me fall asleep.
This video is really helpful! I'ma send it to my friend, they really need it right now.
Thank you! I feel so joyful and happy to have found this channel :) It's really needed and it helps me to understand myself and how to identify the problems with my mental health 💚
I think a lot of these just have the cause and effect switched around. When you're depressed or anxious you take less care of yourself: you don't eat or eat junk, don't clean your room, forget to drink water, and binge watch things to numb your mind. They don't cause depression, they are an effect of being depressed.
I am an avid #MentalHealthAwareness advocate and spoken word performer, and I love this so much. I travel the country trying to bring that awareness on stages, in classrooms, hospitals, and on my RUclips channel, so I get excited when I see other advocates. 💙❤
This is terrifying how I've been doing this to my mental health! This helped me a lot, I'll be drinking more water cause at school my water bottle is always full, and never has been consumed the WHOLE entire day. Thank you Psych2Go! 🎉
I don't drink caffeine since my mother always tells me it'll affect my brain and make me fail academically. I skip meals, I overthink, and I sometimes don't drink water at all.
I don't like assuming that I'm depressed or the mentally bad things that affect most teenagers since I'm still a kid(I was told to not think like I have depression or such because I'm still a kid or I'm too young), but I do know that I have anxiety and paranoia.
I don't like thinking that I'm depressed, sleep deprived, stressed, or suicidal cause some people might think that I'm just assuming things and that I shouldn't be taking these mental illnesses as a "joke"
I've been called an assumer many times before and it makes me not like myself. Sometimes I just accept the fact that people badmouth because of a 'good reason', being compared is something daily that happens in our household and the things that are 'normal' here are apparently not normal to any other household and that makes me feel self-conscious
I basically do all of this... it's shocking. I try to stop but I just can't. Well, thank you for making this video, it made me realize just why my mental health slowly gets worse. I'll try to recover.
At the messy room part, I almost started crying because my room is super messy and does not fit my aesthetic AT ALL. And I want to change that but I have no motivation :(
Hello there,
I totally know, that the second point is one of the things, that hurt my mental health. The problem is, that I don't have my own room and the flat I'm living in is too small for my family. I can't wait to move out, because when I live somewhere else, I will finally have my own personal space! But until that happens, my mental health could get worse. Even though I try to tidy our place up, it doesn't really help. I often get totally overwhelmed and my depression and anxiety are making it even worse. I don't really know, what I should do until I finally move out.
0:39 I don’t drink coffee at all or very rarely, so it isn’t a problem for me luckily
1:12 I need to clean my room still 😭
1:49 I need to work on my posture, my shoulders and neck are constantly tense and awkward
2:14 I once accidentally deprived myself of so much water that my body shut down for a split second and I blacked out. I’d shown signs of it before, suddenly feeling fatigue and nearly fainting and having to catch myself, but just shrugged it off as “normal”.
2:51 I only ever skip meals when I’m not at home, or in my comfort zone. If I’m at a different house, I’ll usually eat breakfast, some snacks, and maybe dinner.
3:34 Gotten over my binge watching phase after Avatar: The Last Airbender, but maybe if the right show pops up the habit will return lol
3:59 I’m horrible with this. I’m not a very healthy person 🥲
4:48 ME EVERY DAY. I struggle with this and it makes me freeze up and panic in situations that need quick decision. I need a long time to process the situation in full, and I have a fear of regretting decisions and have a hard time letting go of decisions in the past, so the seemingly small decision seems life changing or with possible hidden consequences.
lol I really needed the reminder to drink more water. Glad to know that my 2 cups of coffee a day isn't too excessive!! also going to clean my room now. I KNOW all these things help but most of them are the first to go when I get stressed or busy. Thanks for the reminder! and guys, it's ok to fall off the bandwagon on healthy habits, you can pick them up again anytime! no shame!
How dare you read my mind right now
In all seriousness at least 5 of these smacked me in the face and I'm sitting here bridging a meltdown, this helps.
I swear, whenever I have a mental problems or other problems you guys always upload videos of how I've been feeling or of things happening to explain everything
Scary lol
But I swear you guys just know when I need them and thank you so much on making these videos for everyone
I've learned so much and have been improving on myself and relationships I have from these ❤
