Mental health crises can affect anyone, and knowing when hospitalization may be necessary is essential. 🏥 Psychiatric hospitals provide a safe space for those facing intense challenges like severe depression, suicidal thoughts, psychosis, or inability to care for themselves. This post explores the signs, qualifications, and types of support available, aiming to break down barriers to seeking help. Let’s empower each other with knowledge and compassion! 💙

What are some things mentally ill people are tired of hearing?

People living with mental illness often encounter well-meaning but unhelpful or hurtful comments. Here are some things that mentally ill individuals are often tired of hearing:

1."Just think positive."Mental disease cannot be overcome solely via positive thinking. This statement may downplay the gravity of their predicament.

2. "It's all in your head."While mental illness impacts the mind, it has real, practical consequences for a person's life. This phrase minimizes the true difficulties individuals encounter.

3. "Other people have it worse."Comparing challenges can be invalidating. Each individual's experience is unique, and this comment may make them feel guilty about their emotions.

4. "Snap out of it."Mental disease cannot be turned off at will. This statement indicates that the person chooses to feel this way, which is not always the case.

5. “You don’t look sick.”Not all cases of mental disease are evident. Someone may be experiencing internal struggles even though they seem fine on the outside.

6. "Everyone experiences that occasionally."Though everyone encounters stress or grief occasionally, the severity and duration of mental illness varies. This remark can be seen as discounting their experience.

7. "Have you tried exercise, yoga, or meditation?"Although beneficial, these pursuits cannot provide complete recovery from mental illness. It may seem disrespectful to suggest them as a remedy given the complexity of the problem.

8. "You're just being indolent,"Rather than being a sign of lethargy, mental illness can manifest as a lack of drive and energy. This is a harsh comment that ignores the actual difficulties they encounter.

9. "You just need to get out more."Socializing and being active can be beneficial for certain people, but it is not always the case. This advice may oversimplify the situation.

10. "Stop being so dramatic."Dismissing someone's emotions as "dramatic" can invalidate them and deter them from getting assistance or discussing their problems.

11. "It's your fault you feel this way."Blaming someone for their mental illness is both incorrect and hurtful. Mental health difficulties are multifaceted and can involve elements beyond a person's control.

12. "But you have such a great life!"Mental illness is not discriminatory based on living circumstances. This comment may make the person feel guilty about their emotions, adding to their load.

These statements, while often said with good intentions, can be dismissive or hurtful. What people with mental illness often need is empathy, understanding, and support—not quick fixes or judgment.

🌟 Unmasking the Human Psyche: Understanding the Depths Beyond the Psycho Label 🌟

Hey Tumblr fam! 👁️‍🗨️ Today, let's embark on a journey of understanding the complexities of the human psyche and challenge the stigma associated with the term "psycho." In this article, we aim to deepen our understanding of mental health, delving into the depths beyond the label. By sharing stories of resilience and transformation, we'll gain insight into the multifaceted nature of the human mind. It's time to unmask the truth and foster empathy, compassion, and acceptance for all. 💫💖

The term "psycho" often carries negative connotations and is used to stigmatize and label individuals with mental health challenges. However, it's crucial to recognize that mental health is a spectrum, and each person's experience is unique. Let's dive beyond the surface and explore the depths of the human psyche, shedding light on the diversity and richness of the mind. 🌈🧠

#UnmaskThePsyche #UnderstandingMentalHealth #ChallengeTheStigma #EmbraceDiversityOfTheMind #CompassionForAll #ResilienceInMentalHealth #BreakingTheLabels #EmpathyForPsyche #MentalHealthAwareness #ComplexitiesOfTheMind

Through sharing stories of resilience and transformation, we honor the strength and courage of individuals who have faced mental health challenges. These stories remind us behind every label lies a person with unique experiences, emotions, and journeys of healing. By listening and seeking to understand, we foster empathy and compassion for the human psyche. 💪💚

#StoriesOfResilience #TransformationJourney #StrengthInVulnerability #HealingThePsyche #EmotionalWellBeing #UnderstandingThroughStories #EmpathyInAction #CompassionForJourneys #ResilienceIsBeautiful #BreakingBarriers

Let's challenge the stereotypes and misconceptions surrounding mental health. By educating ourselves and others, we can break down the walls of stigma and create a safe space for open conversations. Mental health is a vital part of our overall well-being, and it's essential to promote understanding and support for individuals facing mental health challenges. 🌟🗣️

#ChallengingMisconceptions #BreakingStigma #EducateAndEmpower #SafeSpaceForConversation #PromoteMentalHealth #SupportAndUnderstanding #OpenUpAboutMentalHealth #EmpowermentThroughEducation #MentalHealthMatters #BreakTheSilence

In our exploration, let's remember that seeking help and support is a sign of strength, not weakness. It takes immense courage to reach out and ask for assistance, and no one should ever feel judged or marginalized for doing so. Together, let's create a culture that embraces mental health as an integral part of our well-being and supports individuals on their healing journeys. 💞✨

Together, we can make a difference and break free from the limitations of labels. 🌟💕

Things to be Aware of if You Know Someone with c-PTSD (complex PTSD)

Writing this because when I was 22-23, I thought I understood the kids I was working with with mental health things. Now I'm 27, and I know I didn't. Not saying those ages specifically mean anything, I just mean that living with it myself changed my outlook. I'll use myself as an example.

Complex PTSD is PTSD, but originates with repeated trauma over a period of time, instead of one event. That trauma breaks down the mental psyche over time, so you're left with the normal symptoms of PTSD, along with changes in your sense of self, your outlook on life, etc.

--Their triggers may not make sense to you. Example: My trauma was repeated rejection from those I loved, from my parents to the men I fell in love with. So now ANY rejection can cause days of pain and grief. Rejection takes all forms--abandonment, emotional neglect, being left out, not being accepted, someone else being accepted when you're not, feeling like your opinions and feelings don't matter, etc. It can get tiring on those around me when I react strongly to something they think isn't a big deal, but it's a big deal to me, and I'm trying so hard to not be a burden.

-- They need clear communication. They need very clear, very honest, and very specific boundaries and reassurances. Example: I can't understand hints, random silences, actions that mean something to someone else, etc. I need to be told if I'm crossing boundaries, because unless I've been told where they are, I'll have no idea.

--Many people with c-PTSD feel worthless and have so sense of self-worth or self-confidence. They feel ashamed or guilty. Example: I've had several people very close to me, who had helped me through hard times and who I had been there for, and suddenly, they left without explaining why. It was almost like a whiplash effect, my brain feels scrambled and confused, and now I have a hard time believing that I'm worth anything or that it wasn't all my fault, because over and over again, people's actions have proven otherwise.

--They have a hard time trusting people. Example: see above

--They are likely struggling with depression, insomnia, emotional flashbacks, and other symptoms commonly associated with PTSD. Example: I'm on medication for depression, I usually have some over-the-counter sleep aids on hand in case I need them, sometimes I can't leave my apartment, and there are times when grief, sorrow, pain, and anger completely take over, and I can't function.

--They struggle with fear of their trauma repeating itself. Example: I'm absolutely terrified of offending and losing people. I'm constantly over-explaining, repeating myself, checking with friends/family to make sure they're okay with me, and getting people's opinions on me and the choices I make.

--Their worldview may have drastically changed. Example: I build my life around my faith and the people in my life. When people I had trusted so much and had been vulnerable with (even though they didn't understand how they were hurting me) rejected me by abandoning me or making me feel like I wasn't worth their time/effort, etc, it felt like the floor gave way under my feet. Repeatedly. It felt like left was right, up was down, and red was blue. I started questioning what was basic right and wrong and if I even had a right to feel what I felt.

--They struggle with relationships. All relationships--friendships, romantic, family, etc. From what I've been told and taught (and I am not a professional, I'm just someone with it trying to explain how it feels), most c-PTSD involves trauma involved with another person. Abuse (all kinds), human trafficking, emotional neglect, etc. So, they have lost the ability to feel safe with other people and are struggling to get that back.

--Their brain can't turn off and won't stop processing it. It is exhausting and overwhelming. Even when I sleep, my brain is processing things, so I might wake up grieving, in pain, or afraid, and I don't know why. I have to have constant distraction, like TV shows, books, problems, things to do, to simply function. I never get a break, I just have good days when the processing stays in the back of my mind, and I can work on professional and hobby things.

Obviously, not everyone with c-PTSD feels all of these, and some might feel more symptoms. But this is what I feel, and I know those around me struggle to understand. I'm hoping this helps others get a glimpse of what we're feeling, so they're better able to help. People with c-PTSD need patience, reassurance, and empathy from those around them.

We're trying, we really are. We don't want to be stuck, and we're not content to be miserable.

💖Like this and share with someone who may need to hear it today. When learning about trauma and trying to understand how many behaviours can be understood by past traumas, I found it incredibly helpful to hear it explained in this way. Past trauma can be like having a serious burn all over your body. The slightest touch can cause extreme pain. If the person who brushed past you could not see those burns, they might judge your response as “overreacting” or “sensitive”. However, those who understand the injury will be able to make sense of the reaction. #ptsd #trauma #bpd #survivor #traumasurvivor #traumarecovery #ptsdrecovery #sensitivity #psychology #psychologist #therapist #therapy #understandingme #understandingmentalhealth #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #dbt #happiness #happy #anxiety #depression (at Glasgow) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEcZD-dD1x5/?igshid=u9m992p8sib1

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)

If you have borderline personality disorder (BPD), you probably feel like you’re on a rollercoaster—and not just because of your unstable emotions or relationships, but also the wavering sense of who you are. Your self-image, goals, and even your likes and dislikes may change frequently in ways that feel confusing and unclear.

People with BPD tend to be extremely sensitive. Some describe it as like having an exposed nerve ending. Small things can trigger intense reactions. And once upset, you have trouble calming down. It’s easy to understand how this emotional volatility and inability to self-soothe leads to relationship turmoil and impulsive—even reckless—behavior. When you’re in the throes of overwhelming emotions, you’re unable to think straight or stay grounded. You may say hurtful things or act out in dangerous or inappropriate ways that make you feel guilty or ashamed afterwards. It’s a painful cycle that can feel impossible to escape. But it’s not.
