Essential The Mental Health Thread

[Doin2Much Williams]

Do you work out breh? Meditate? Gotta keep your body in decent condition. Try the 100 push up a day challenge. 10 push-ups an hour throughout the day if you can't crank them out otherwise. Get your body, spirit and mind on the same page through repetitive meditation.

Are you drinking water? 2 bottles a day, especially with the pills you are taking.

How is your fruit intake? Ginger and apple shots. Spinach and apple. If you have a food blender you are set. Otherwise a box of mandarin oranges



I saw your previous post about laying in bed and not doing anything else. With consistency, you'll only want to sleep even when you feel fine. I've definitely been there. Would basically have to cancel my whole Sunday and sometimes the weekend when it got really bad.

Just felt like I was in a hole and even though others stretched their hands, I wasn't ready to come out.

Routine. Routine. Routine. We settle into one very quietly with work, school, relationships. And while routine is good we also have to be selective of where that routine is created and for what purpose. You can definitely get out of the bed and break that routine.

I'm rooting for you.

Incredulously incredible postage.




Piffalious.

I’m pretty sure I have a coworker that is crazy. Due to his mental illness he lost custody of his kids to his aunt. Nobody helps this nikka. He lives in a motel 6. $400 a week to live there when we make $728+ a week.

This nikka says he has haters when no one gives a fukk. He tried holla at girls from the passenger side of my car. He’s a nice breh he calls me nephew lol. This nikka doesn’t have a car. Sad shyt i feel so bad for him.

Start realizing how powerful your mind and body can be. We're not Gods but are we not in some shape or form? People out here 300 plus pounds and yet somehow they're still alive, People are out here drinking booze literally every day for years. Yes, their actions will catch up with them soon but just focus on the parts of how long these people live before the day eventually comes.

Your body and mind love you. Start loving it back.

I posted here a while back talking about my lows. It got worst for me after that post a week later. I had a three day weekend from work so I had plans I was originally excited for. Ended up canceling them all and remained in my room. I felt a dark aura from my energy. My body and mind just felt too damn heavy. Time also felt slow. 20-minutes felt like a day. A day felt like three days. I began to wild out on social media for no reason. I started creating fake scenarios with people in my mind and started to believe that I really disliked them and needed to cut everyone off.

After the three-day weekend, I told myself since I've already reached a new low then there would be no harm in trying to climb a new high. I started feeding my mind thoughts that were the opposite of my previous ones. Instead of hating myself for my past actions to myself and others, I asked am I that same teenager, or am I a completely different person in my 20s? If I no longer do wild shyt then why am I holding myself to that shyt?


Most of our society promotes pleasure, entertainment, and enjoyment and at the same time shames you for partaking in it. Even playing video games made me feel like a piece of shyt. I would tell myself that I'm wasting time by putting pressure to be someone really successful in life. So I started asking myself if playing video games in my free time gives me joy, then why shouldn't I partake in it if I'm happy?

Instead of thinking, people aren't interested in being my friend or the opposite gender doesn't like me, I started to ask myself what if they actually do? And if not why should I care? Do I like myself?

I started applying positive thoughts and I've been fine ever since. Not trying to disrespect mental health where people have chemical imbalances. But I know there are a lot of people like me who just overthink and overanalyze shyt until these negative thoughts become a habit. And then eventually a lifestyle. It's true you are what you eat. You feed your mind negativity and you attract it from others and yourself.

It is hard to change your way of thinking but it's honestly needed. Don't even know how I was that dude super low.

Quoting for visibility. This is a powerful post connecting the body and mind relation.

Anything our body is capable of handling comes straight from the mind. It is a powerful resource but it needs help too. We have to feed it love, positive reinforcement, knowledge and systems of processing.

These moments of being low are opportunities of potential clarity and an uprising. I think understanding that eternal happiness being a fantasy may break some people's illusion of life is helpful.

Look at this image, from our perspective, he climbed the highest mountain.

And from his perspective, there are more paths to walk, mountains to climb.

As shown here, we come down from our high and reach new lows, whether it be voluntary or not. The point however, is to not be stuck at the level you are at. There is always room for improvement.

This life is contracted to a journey of birth and death, the two guarantees. The stuff in the middle is what we find important. And with a limited amount of time, keeping ourselves not seeing all heights of life and the emotional ranges will stunt our growth.

It is hard work, believe me. But you can do it. I know you are strong enough and brave enough. Solving yourself and clearing out the burdens we have and being able to navigate through this life gives you strength and a piece of mind. But it is not everlasting, keep climbing.

I've been feeling real low for a few weeks now and can't really seem to shake it. I've found myself drinking and smoking weed quite often as that's been one of the few enjoyable things for me.

I hate living in the west. I want to be in the Caribbean living a good life, not among people I don't like or trust here.

I hate to make a thread but I fukkin emailed a psychologist two days ago and no answer. Just an email showing what I sent via the site and then adding contact info of the psychologist. Is this normal? Some of y’all want me to see one so I’m trying. That’s it no diary ass thread. Just asking.
