I felt a lump in my throat when they said “You are improving and you are better than you were a year ago.” I didn’t realize how much I needed to hear that. Thank you guys for helping with mental health so much
Don’t surround yourself with people that make you feel bad… I lost my mom almost 3 months ago and I was already mentally struggling… People said the meanest things about my “grief process” and my mental state. So I just block those people out of my life. Surround yourself with people that understand your pain and help you, somehow, to get better, to feel better, even for a simple smile. It doesn’t matter if it’s just one or two people, that’s plenty, as long as you’re happy. Be sure to also, if you can, go to a professional mental health therapist and get the help you need. It’s not shameful, not stupid, it’s actually a really good step for your healing. ❤️❤️
My jobs in the past have been unstable and kept changing… I’ll work for a couple of months and keep changing jobs because of anxiety/ depression… sweeping my issues under the rug… I’ve been off work since March (laid off) due to my mental health and I’ve been trying to get another job… I was professionally advised today not to find a new job .. I’m 28 and I feel so sad about this but me and my mental health come first. Finally someone helped me make a decision I couldn’t make on my own… and to help me understand the cycle will keep repeating itself… guys if you have to stop working … so be it. Now in the process of getting CBT soon… I need to heal.. I’ve lost confidence, I’m always irritated and most days I’m sad.. another job/more money will just be another distraction but not the solution to the issues I have :(
'Me time' is one that I really like and can relate to needing. I have this whiteboard calendar that I use to create my 'schedule'. As it's a new month I erased everything and as I looked through the calendar, my total activities to put down came to be only 2 things. 2 appointments. Nothing else, the rest of the month was absolutely clear. That's now changed to 3, and I know eventually I'll add more, make some time to hang out with friends possibly, things like that, but when I saw how empty my calendar was, I felt sooo happy. I'm not exactly an introvert (imma ambivert) but I've spent majority of my life as one, from the late ends of elementary all the way through middle school and freshman year. I've only started granting myself what people call, "a social life" now that I can exist with the convenience of being older and more capable. As a result of this transition period, I've come to realize I have a bit of a hard time managing my schedule because for the past year, I've had so many events lined up to hang out with friends, volunteer, etc, and even last month I had a one-month summer job that took up my weeks and whenever I had a 'free day', I wasted it mindlessly watching RUclips videos because I didn't have the energy to concentrate or be active on anything else, though I could hardly concentrate on the videos and found myself increasingly bored. [Fun fact: if you search up 'Im bored', there'll be a link to a 'bored button' that will take you to random fun sites to mess with]. My room was a mess and there were problems about not being able to get chores done, lack of hygiene, etc. I also haven't participated in any other hobbies I enjoy, like random journalling, drawing, cooking, or even just taking some time at night to appreciate the sky and cool air. Days were just flying by. I had prioritized my active life of hanging out with friends and work and neglected any kind of productive 'me time'. When I felt the joy of having that empty schedule, it really sunk in how much I needed this. The feeling that I have all the time in the world so for now, I should just do something that I enjoy or is convenient. One day into this new month of 'me time' and I have a clean room, a bunch of plans on things I wanna do, I've watched a movie, eaten proper time-allocated meals (meals, not snacks), and It's only 3. The day feels longer than all those other days where my mindset was, "I'll do it tomorrow, don't have time for it today" which turns into 2 days, a week, then never. Now, I'm like, "I've got nothing better to do, no obligations, no energy to save on smth else, might as well spend this energy however I want! I've got all the time in the world to do all those things that I want to do so for now I wanna start doing this". Truth be told, I really enjoy things like cleaning and cooking, house chore kinda stuff, but when it feels like a chore, existing in my break times to sap whatevers left of my energy, then it really is nothing more than a chore that I don't want to do, and therefore neglect. Having this time to take care of me will also allow me to attempt to set up a better hygiene schedule, which sounds fun to plan out (I wonder if I should find a bunch of random funny alarms to use), and by using these longer moments productively, I not only recharge my emotional energy by feeling happier and content with what I've done, I also make other people happy (like my gremlin sister who'll be happy to see that my room is clean and now the perfect place to turn into her jungle gym, which will mean I can go for more sibling bonding moments that will backfire on my physical health, but I don't expect to escape any tackling until I move out #siblingproblems) Writing massive paragraphs about my current situations is another hobby of mine I find enjoyable (to make, not to read back lol. I should work on my simplifying skills) Time to go wake the sleepy house with a vacuum! :D
I could've never seen this at a better time. I recently had a session with my therapist last weekend and I was very excited to tell her the progress I've made for the whole month, but of course I also had to share the bad days I've had. Usually I'll go out of therapy feeling lighter and fulfilled, but this time I felt just plain empty, frustrated and disappointed with myself because I felt my progress were nonexistent and have been discredited. My therapist focused more on what I could've done more instead of what I've already did. But now I feel like this is just a normal occurence in therapy. It doesn't have to be always a linear progress and I don't have to focus on things I haven't done yet. I'm currently on my way to start trusting the process and celebrating the small steps I've already taken. I can say I'm proud of what I've become now for the past month and I'm on the right track towards getting better. As I'm writing this I actually shed a tear or two. I guess this is how it feels like loving myself genuinely for the first time. I can say now that I accept wholeheartedly who I am and my flaws. And I hope I can find soon the sense of self and confidence I always wish I had in order to maximize my potentials and be capable of the things I've always wanted in life. I've been a silent viewer of Psych2go and this is my first time leaving a comment. Thank you always for the helpful content. You guys are lifesavers.
I am subscribed to this channel from Being single to having a crush on someone to being broken And I won't lie I learned some of the best advice from this channel
I have this dream where I want to sleep every day surrounded by calm nature, so when someone built a long bench under a huge pomelo tree that I could fit in, I could not thank them more when I looked up in the sky, and when I closed my eyes I could feel my fixture is so straight that I could imagine myself looking like snow white. This is what I remembered when you said "one with nature" #justsharing
Literally just came out of a week of epileptic seizures & I was full of lots of lost & confusion. This is exactly what I needed. How to head towards 'me time' without shame or loneliness. And that it's okay to worry about what's bothering me, without overthinking it. Thank you!
This just brought tears to my eyes. Lord knows I needed to hear this. Thank you. You never cease to amaze me with the timing of your videos. They always show up at the right time. God bless
I really like the "Me Time" its so easy to get lost in the day to day grind of surviving and trying to get things done. Even i forget to give myself some time to chill and i realise that when i dont do that. I tend to negative talk instead of positive talk to myself since i sometimes feel like its hard to take a small break. Thank you for reminding us to be self aware of ourselves.
The music, animation and voice all work so well together. You guys achieve a level of peace. When I feel anxious I watch Psych2Go videos to help me relax a bit. ♥️
Here is one. Do not rush your self-development. So you have decided you start working out, being more social person, improve self-confidence, keep your always messy room clean or start waking up 7 am? That's good, but you are surely to fail at some point. You skip few times or go back to "I can't do it" phase AND THAT'S OK!. Remind yourself that it's fine. You tried. When you feel like you have courage and/or energy to try again, then do it. Everything, do in small steps. Journey is long, and everything takes time. Just go easy on yourself, but do not stop completely
I have been rebuilding my mental health for probably around 3 years now. Obviously there have been some *severe* ups and downs during that time, as it is quite the turbulent time even to be in a solid state of mind, let alone vulnerable. The 1st point about breaks is one that I learned the very hard way, but I was too burnt out and it was too late for it to save me. The point about "trust the process" is much more relevant to me today. I have improved over these years, and I have to just try my best and not worry about the pace. I internalized some of the thoughts of close family who meant well but thought I was getting better way too slowly. They 1 constantly tried to push me or get me to "push myself" with regards to mental health, or 2 came up with other mental health issues that *they* thought I might have even though my therapist didn't think that. And 3 when faced with that, they said that obviously I need a new therapist 🤦♂️ even after a session with them involved... all 3 of these things were because they were convinced I was getting better too slowly. I don't blame them too much, just like this video says, blaming others doesn't work out great if you push 100% on them, but I do blame them somewhat. Despite them meaning well, I'm much happier finally living on my own and far away, where I can have a depressed weekend sometimes *but* not get "pushed" into feeling bad about having a down and then beating myself up and spiraling further. Idk how much longer it would've taken to break that cycle if I still lived at home. Would be cheaper, though! 😅 now the biggest problem I've got is work stress 😓

I've been having these anger attacks lately. Throwing things, screaming, stomping, all of that. And I can't control it. Irritation takes over me, Like I'm not having a say and No one will submit to me. Any advice on that? Psych2Go, Your videos have always calmed me down, and peace always comes to me. Thank you so much. I can't express my gratitude.
Off topic but I was watching ur video “8 signs you have unhealed trauma” I related to all them except 2,3 & 4 I’ve noticed emotional neglect, manipulation & abuse. (I know there’s more I just have that inner feeling that I can’t word or describe to myself) I find I’m fighting with parts of myself like I’ll notice something odd & part of me is like “it’s okay don’t do anything there’s nothing wrong” then that’s where the fighting (for lack of better term, I can’t think of the word) begins. This happens a lot. The thing about I can’t think of the word, this is what I struggle with the most. Describing something to myself is most important to me. I get the inner feeling “hey somethings is not right here but I find it hard to or can’t retrieve the word for it so I can describe it to myself
I like how I talk to my therapist about clearing my schedule so I can have some me time and I get told that that will cause my mental health to worsen, I really just want a few days to focus on myself, make the changes in my life I want to make, and try to recover myself, it’s pretty attainable too, I just need the proper opportunity to seize
So I started working for a Concrete company and they asked me if I wanted to work through my lunch .. the government usually say you have to take a break by law but for Concrete Drivers they say it’s ok not to because they Concrete can go bad if you take a lunch .. at first I thought it was gonna be great because I was gonna get paid for all the time I was at work .. I quickly realized how important it was to take a break .. not only physically but also mentally.. I was going crazy and I realized how important it was ..

Video suggestion: Helpful alternatives to therapy. I know this is different from what the channel is mostly comprised of, but ai think this would be insanely useful for some of us who would love to work on our trauma with a therapist, but can't afford it. I also acknowledge nothing else can really replace therapy per say, but I've heard of other great ways to get help and I think a lot of people would love to know your thoughts on the matter. Thanks to anyone who took the bother to read to the end.
Hey my dad also died when I wasn't born but its alright because I have friends who make me feel okay but since I have social anxiety its hard for me to feel comfortable and feel uncomfortable with other people...I also like being alone for a reason and idk why..well I hope you a good day❤
Thanks for the great advice Psych2go. Been going through a lot with fighting my Autism and Schizophrenia. The stress of having brain surgery next week has got my anxiety super high too. But hopefully these help me and calm me down.
If I may ask, why do you have to get brain surgery? Is it for part of your mental illness? I’m a psychology major and so I’m trying to learn more about those with more complex mental health problems.
another advice, whenever you feel down or just feel like shit, just feel it, its the best you can do, if you dont want to do anything because of it, then dont, you have plenty of time and you dont need to rush to feeling better, sometimes its just better to let it out and just let the thing be, yknow
This is quite helpful to me because im a guitarist, and there are days when i just dont feel like myself during the entire day and when i dont feel like myself i just dont dig playing guitar
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.
Thank you for that comment st the end. I needed to hear it. I kept telling myself i wasn't getting anywhere but really I've come a long way even if it's slow.

You seem to be speaking to youth. I'm 65 yrs old. Have many mental health issues sence childhood. We didn't have any help. I'm happy you can reach youth. 🥰💕🙏
"Lately?" "These days?" All my live, sugar. Thank you for this video tho. I think it's very nice information no matter if I had them in my head already or not.
Hey Psych2Go! I was wondering if you cover more topics like on “Pure O” OCD. Pure O stands for pure obsessional and is a more rare form of ocd. I’ve struggled with it for years and not many seem to know much about it. All love!
I too have suffered from Pure O for years (long before it had a recognisable name) and would be especially interested to see a Psych2Go video on the topic. And let's face it, Amanda Silvera's voice could make the proverbial Albanian telephone directory enthralling.
Mental Health Advice: I’ve read this a lot but it takes courage to be yourself especially when you’re a kid and you have this peer pressure to be liked or to be popular. But when you’re yourself you’ll attract true friends that’ll like you for you.
I just dont know when will this pain end but iam gonna try hard. Its crazy how people forget memories so fast and move on like nothing really happend 💔
hi psych2go! i was wondering if you could possibly do a video on how to help with this whole climate change thing and to raise awareness to people? because it's actually so so serious and worrying and it has really taken a toll on my mental health and i bet others too, just knowing i have a safe environment during these hard times would really help me and many many others,, thank you!!!!! (day 2 of asking)
Woow nice i think i needed all of that advice am really feel this days that iam so hard and punishing my self so am so happy to watch this video as always you help us. Thanks and please connecting make more😊☺
Hello psyc2go. Thank you for the tremendous efforts you take to make awareness on mental health! ✨ Suggestion : can u pls post a video on how to overcome a romantic toxic relationship? Or how to emotionally support someone who's in toxic romantic relationship?
Guys, I need some advice. I normally enjoy being alone at home but when it comes to going out ( shopping, cafe dates, cinemaetc.) I find that I don't have the ability to do such things alone. I have social anxiety and I feel like it's better when I don't go out in public on my own but at times I really want to do those activities alone but I don't know why I can't. And when I ask friends, at times they can't come or decide to postpone it to a later date but I want to do it right now. I'm sorry if that doesn't make any sense, I want to askwgat should I do? Should I practice going out alon, because I really want to, or is it what it is?
If you ever get in an argument with me, Just know that deep inside I take all of your insults really seriously and all you're saying is more powerful than you think.
Up and down! My moods go up and down. I can't help it, because l get slammed with other people's stuff. I would rather be by myself than, be with someone who doesn't care about me. If you want me to do all your work and pay your bills, well ........... go find yourself another person to take care of you.

I don't blame them too much, just like this video says, blaming others doesn't work out great if you push 100% on them, but I do blame them somewhat. Despite them meaning well, I'm much happier finally living on my own and far away, where I can have a depressed weekend sometimes *but* not get "pushed" into feeling bad about having a down and then beating myself up and spiraling further. Idk how much longer it would've taken to break that cycle if I still lived at home. Would be cheaper, though! 😅 now the biggest problem I've got is work stress 😓
Not gonna lie, of all the videos I've seen from you guys, this one hits me the most, I definitely need to follow all of these. Thank you.

I've been having these anger attacks lately. Throwing things, screaming, stomping, all of that. And I can't control it. Irritation takes over me, Like I'm not having a say and No one will submit to me.
Any advice on that?
Psych2Go, Your videos have always calmed me down, and peace always comes to me. Thank you so much. I can't express my gratitude.
I suggest you take deep breaths and maybe have alone time every day. I guess anxiety and anger aren't the same but I reccomend doing it!
I REALLY REALLY REALLY needed to hear this!!! Thank you soooooo much
Off topic but I was watching ur video “8 signs you have unhealed trauma”
I related to all them except 2,3 & 4
I’ve noticed emotional neglect, manipulation & abuse. (I know there’s more I just have that inner feeling that I can’t word or describe to myself) I find I’m fighting with parts of myself like I’ll notice something odd & part of me is like “it’s okay don’t do anything there’s nothing wrong” then that’s where the fighting (for lack of better term, I can’t think of the word) begins. This happens a lot.
The thing about I can’t think of the word, this is what I struggle with the most. Describing something to myself is most important to me. I get the inner feeling “hey somethings is not right here but I find it hard to or can’t retrieve the word for it so I can describe it to myself
It feels like you always know what we want to hear. Thank you very much for all the effort you put in your videos and making our days a bit better
I have noticed the change in myself over the years, it's great to see!
I like how I talk to my therapist about clearing my schedule so I can have some me time and I get told that that will cause my mental health to worsen, I really just want a few days to focus on myself, make the changes in my life I want to make, and try to recover myself, it’s pretty attainable too, I just need the proper opportunity to seize
I write it in my journal
These videos always make me feel calm
I didn’t take time then… but I’m taking time now. Thank you.
So I started working for a Concrete company and they asked me if I wanted to work through my lunch .. the government usually say you have to take a break by law but for Concrete Drivers they say it’s ok not to because they Concrete can go bad if you take a lunch .. at first I thought it was gonna be great because I was gonna get paid for all the time I was at work .. I quickly realized how important it was to take a break .. not only physically but also mentally.. I was going crazy and I realized how important it was ..
It's healthy to take some time just for yourself.💞💆
I don't know if it is because of this channel or other factor, but,
I'm happy.
Ive been locked up for 9 years after a schizophrenia breakdown. Number 5 is the name of the game. We all have our own path, what you may see as overgrowth now can be verdant abundance later
Mental health needs to be talked about more in America 🇺🇸 schools
in india its like : what is mental health ?that does not exist stop thinking nonsense and study😶🌫😶
Video suggestion:
Helpful alternatives to therapy.
I know this is different from what the channel is mostly comprised of, but ai think this would be insanely useful for some of us who would love to work on our trauma with a therapist, but can't afford it.
I also acknowledge nothing else can really replace therapy per say, but I've heard of other great ways to get help and I think a lot of people would love to know your thoughts on the matter.
Thanks to anyone who took the bother to read to the end.
Thank you ❤️ needed something positive today
After the loss of my dad, it is always bad days for me … i don’t know what to do to feel better
i hope u start to feel better
Me to. I lost in to cancer in 2020. But it’s getting better.
Hey my dad also died when I wasn't born but its alright because I have friends who make me feel okay but since I have social anxiety its hard for me to feel comfortable and feel uncomfortable with other people...I also like being alone for a reason and idk why..well I hope you a good day❤
@@darcyexe3752 ❤️
@@MrMasterDebate sorry for your loss … i lost him on March 2nd 2021 … it’s getting worse and nit getting better
Thanks for the great advice Psych2go. Been going through a lot with fighting my Autism and Schizophrenia. The stress of having brain surgery next week has got my anxiety super high too. But hopefully these help me and calm me down.
Stay strong! & Good morning!!
Sounds tough. But you can do it!
If I may ask, why do you have to get brain surgery? Is it for part of your mental illness? I’m a psychology major and so I’m trying to learn more about those with more complex mental health problems.
Praying for you❣️ I've been through 6 brain tumor surgeries in my 63 years. Rest & abide in God's Hands. I'm trying to help.
I hope all goes well for you!
I would be rebuilding my mental health for my post graduation, and this certainly gave me a good insight
another advice, whenever you feel down or just feel like shit, just feel it, its the best you can do, if you dont want to do anything because of it, then dont, you have plenty of time and you dont need to rush to feeling better, sometimes its just better to let it out and just let the thing be, yknow
This is quite helpful to me because im a guitarist, and there are days when i just dont feel like myself during the entire day and when i dont feel like myself i just dont dig playing guitar
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.
Best channel on here. More and more positive vibes. 🌻🌻🌻
I have a lot of anxiety, so on Wednesday I'm going to start making jiu jitsu classes, I really hope it helps me to deal with it
Thank you for that comment st the end. I needed to hear it. I kept telling myself i wasn't getting anywhere but really I've come a long way even if it's slow.

0:29 - Work and school breaks matter

To whoever is reading this: if you are having a tough time, you are not alone. Feel free to share your troubles with someone else and they’ll be able to help you out. ❤️
Its been constantly overwhelming for me when I can't do all my work in the same day but I can play video games all day without hesitation. This video really gave me a reminder that I should take it easy for myself, ty ❤❤
I swear it. I love your guys video I pace myself patiently waiting on what the next video is. Sure enough just something I needed to hear. Thank you guys for what you do.
Iam super glad you have come on here to shine light on what you share..like you say..put words to it.. i say this because..its stuff like this that matter..it really matters.. thank you so much
You seem to be speaking to youth. I'm 65 yrs old. Have many mental health issues sence childhood. We didn't have any help. I'm happy you can reach youth. 🥰💕🙏
"Lately?" "These days?" All my live, sugar. Thank you for this video tho. I think it's very nice information no matter if I had them in my head already or not.
These are great reminders!!
Hey Psych2Go! I was wondering if you cover more topics like on “Pure O” OCD. Pure O stands for pure obsessional and is a more rare form of ocd. I’ve struggled with it for years and not many seem to know much about it. All love!
I too have suffered from Pure O for years (long before it had a recognisable name) and would be especially interested to see a Psych2Go video on the topic. And let's face it, Amanda Silvera's voice could make the proverbial Albanian telephone directory enthralling.
I REALLY needed this today! Thank you ! 🥰
This channel has taken me a long way.
Mental Health Advice: I’ve read this a lot but it takes courage to be yourself especially when you’re a kid and you have this peer pressure to be liked or to be popular. But when you’re yourself you’ll attract true friends that’ll like you for you.
Thank you for the advice!
I really love these videos,they always change my mood and I do really like them
Hope to watch them more,and wish y'all can have a good day

hi psych2go! i was wondering if you could possibly do a video on how to help with this whole climate change thing and to raise awareness to people? because it's actually so so serious and worrying and it has really taken a toll on my mental health and i bet others too, just knowing i have a safe environment during these hard times would really help me and many many others,, thank you!!!!! (day 2 of asking)
Thanks.
Thank you… 🙏💗💙🇺🇸💙🇰🇭

Thank you for sharing this very informative video. Worth sharing♥️
Guys, I need some advice. I normally enjoy being alone at home but when it comes to going out ( shopping, cafe dates, cinemaetc.) I find that I don't have the ability to do such things alone. I have social anxiety and I feel like it's better when I don't go out in public on my own but at times I really want to do those activities alone but I don't know why I can't. And when I ask friends, at times they can't come or decide to postpone it to a later date but I want to do it right now. I'm sorry if that doesn't make any sense, I want to askwgat should I do? Should I practice going out alon, because I really want to, or is it what it is?
@Lps buzakia to go out when I feel like it?
Great advice
Can you make a video showing how to heal from break up traumas i really need that cuz im struggling to forget that break up💔
If you ever get in an argument with me, Just know
that deep inside I take all of your insults really seriously
and all you're saying is more powerful than you think.
0:48 I usually forget to eat, drink, pee, poop, sleep that kind of stuff
Ah,thanks! ❤️ :')
When will this be unlisted
in -6 minutes
This is adorable.
I think I watch this channel too much. I hear the voice in my dreams at times 😆
Meditate 🙏
Agree with this video
i’m scared to let out my emotions because i might do something bad
Am I a time traveller now?
Welcome to the club
Yes you are
I am finally not alone
Wait a minute this was just uploaded. How was that 2 weeks ago? Is this a visual glitch?
@@hobimin3091 So r u 😰
Up and down! My moods go up and down. I can't help it, because l get slammed with other people's stuff. I would rather be by myself than, be with someone who doesn't care about me. If you want me to do all your work and pay your bills, well ........... go find yourself another person to take care of you.
👀👂👃searching for beauty reality around us. Social media uses a lot of filters and upgrade everything, and when you see the sky it isn't blue enough😜BUT it's reality and it's beauty without tech lifting🙌
Where did the feelings and moods come from?Can somebody answer me?
Well I have been having a problem with getting motivated to do stuff and just sit around doing nothing productive and I want to do something but I don't know what to do about it
