Thinking about a seasick Cyno whos stress is has just put him in Matra mode. Like he’s just anxious but it’s sorta resulted in him being seemingly in a bad mood…he’s hyper focused on safety and security and really only starts to soften up when kaveh and alhaitham start feeling bad. Then it turns into a front or maybe a coping mechanism - he tries to stay stoic in order to support Tighnari but also to keep himself together. He’s both worried for them, while also feeling overwhelmed by them as he is starting to get sick himself… But at the start of the trip? Maybe he’s just locked in, almost cold or cranky because it’s the only way he can handle this feeling he hasn’t yet realized is anxiety.

naturally when he breaks down soft and squishy Cyno arrives. But he’s still the fearsome general, and before things go to shit I imagine he’s scarring off everyone else on the boat with an air of “don’t even think about testing me or hurting my ppl”

Idk food for thought ~

Oh myyyyyy........ Food indeed!!!!!!!!! :O Wait this is so good, I can absolutely picture this happening. Cyno stalking the perimeter of the boat, staring so intimidatingly at other passengers that they start to actively avoid him and his group. And it's entirely unnecessary, because they're on an extremely secure ship in peaceful waters - which Alhaitham of course points out, because he's feeling bad and grumpy, too. And Cyno ignores him, initially, with Kaveh grumbling at Alhaitham to "leave him alone, this is his job after all" until eventually Kaveh is also like "actually, I hate to take Alhaitham's side, but watching you pace is making me dizzy."

At that point, Alhaitham is pushed over the edge and has to stumble to the side of the boat to be sick. Tighnari, who is already feeling tugged in too many directions, rubs Alhaitham's back and shoots Cyno a look that says "I get it; this is how you work. But can you please cool it a little?"

Cyno starts acting a bit more relaxed, because he definitely doesn't want to make his friends feel worse or cause Tighnari extra stress, although he's even more keyed up internally. He's worried about Kaveh and Alhaitham, and seeing them ill has forced him to acknowledge his own body's protests. He's extremely uneasy, but he forces himself to stop patrolling, at least. He stands guard by Kaveh while Tighnari takes care of Alhaitham.

When Alhaitham's stomach settles, they all regroup, and Cyno immediately Demands that the other three go into the cabin area of the boat, below deck. He justifies that they’re impeding his effectiveness; it's harsh and kind of rude, but Kaveh is feeling too unwell to care and Alhaitham can only manage a glare. Tighnari is torn between annoyance and concern. He knows this side of Cyno, but doesn't see it very often, especially not in these kinds of peaceful settings. It's clear to him that something about the boat is putting Cyno on edge, but he still shouldn't be treating his friends like this. "Fresh air often helps with seasickness, Cyno. You can't force them to lose that without out a reason. A valid one." Tighnari challenges.

"Better to be sick than unsafe," Cyno retorts. "The cabins are more secure."

Tighnari thinks this is all very silly and irritating, if it weren’t also worrying. On a technicality, Cyno is correct, as the cabins are designed to be protective in the event of emergencies - but the point is moot because they're not in danger. He's ready to continue arguing, except Alhaitham is falling asleep, and Kaveh tugs at his arm to weakly say "it's fine, it's chilly out here anyway."

From there, Cyno begins his patrol again, all the more diligent as he grows less steady and more ill. He checks on the other three periodically. They're hanging in there. When Tighnari tries to ask about him, Cyno quickly excuses himself because he has to go back to patrolling. It's a bit later, when Kaveh and Alhaitham are both situated and sleeping, that Tighnari seeks him out. By that point, Cyno is feeling seriously unwell. He's a bit frantic, thinking something might be wrong - maybe they were poisoned, somehow - but Tighnari logics him out of this mindset, and then points out that seasickness is normal and his thoughts are being influenced by the way his body feels. Cyno finally starts to relent; not that he has much of a choice by then, his body to the point of fully rebelling.

Tips from fellow OCD haver that you may or may not find helpful (sorry for my bad english im not a native speaker):

💜 Worst thing you can do is doing what your thoughts want you to do. Think of your ocd as addiction. Drug addict will never get better if they keep taking drugs. Similary you won't get better with your ocd if you keep doing your compulsion/ruminations. I know its hard not to give in to your thoughts, but ultimetly quality of your life will be much much better after you do that. 💜 Don't treat your intrusive thoughts like you your treat real life problems. For example if you had thoughts like "im evil person, i want cause harm to others", you shouldn't debating whether or not you are bad person or look for evidence to back up this claims. Think of them as illusions, they look real but they aren't. No matter how scary this thoughts are, THEY ARE NOT REAL. They just illusions made to trick your mind to give them time and energy. Trying to find solution for this thoughts is like running away from imaginary monster. When your ocd tell you that you are monster, you should remember that is just trick of your mind, NOT SOMETHING YOU SHOULD WORRY ABOUT. 💜 Don't be affraid to feel uncertain. Living with uncertainity can be very stressfull, but seeking reassurence just to feel "right" is form of compulsion and it only deepens your illness. Instead don't do anything with this thoughts. At first you will feel stress but after some time it will stop. 💜 When your ocd tell you not to do something that you want to do, DO IT ANYWAY. Do it even when you feel nervous or scared because of your ocd. DON'T try to convince your illness that is it safe. Your ocd will always find contrargument to your clames. Its like going swimming, cold water will bother you at beging, but later it will stop. When your brain see that you are safe while doing it, you intrusive thoughts will stop. You just have to do it. (The same when you don't want to do something, but your ocd makes you do it) 💜 Shifting your focus is a key. Don't try just don't think about your intrusive thoughts. My psychologist calls it "pink bear effect". The more you try not to think about pink bear, the more you will think about it. Instead try shift your focus to something else. Do something that you like, something that pulls you in. Listening to music while doing this also helps. If you don't have time for this type of stuff, you can focus on your surroudings. Count how many books are on bookself, leaf on plant or tiles on floor. You can also think about something you like. Make headcannons about your favorite characters, do top 10 list of your favorite song, anything that makes you happy. You can't think and think at same time, so talking with someone can be very helpfull. If don't have anyone to talk to, you can try reading something outloud. This topic is very subjective, so you should find things that work for you. Keep on trying and you eventualy find something. 💜 AND MOST IMPORTANTLY: be kind to yourself. Everyone has bad day, it doesn't mean you are weak. Ocd is serious matter, living with it is not easy, you are extremely strong that you still here. Don't blame yourself for doing your compulsion. Fight might be hard, but your happyness is worth fighting for. You are great warior and treat yourself like one. Give yourself lot of praise for what you went thru. Take care of yourself, give yourself nice things and love yourself. 💜💜 Ocd is not a death sentence. You can live a great life despite this. YOU CAN DO THIS. I BELIEVE IN YOU. 💜💜

#Im really REALLY sorry for my english #ocd #actually ocd #mental support

A paper on loneliness and social relationships

Loneliness is defined as the discrepancy between desired and actual levels of social relationships (...) Following advances in theories of loneliness, other studies focused on operationalization and construct validation of loneliness scales and interventions to reduce the feeling of loneliness. However, as concluded in a meta-analysis by Masi et al. (2011), interventions that focused on improving social skills through training, enhancing social support, or increasing opportunities for social contact have been ineffective. Although the social and health consequences of loneliness match those of many mental health problems, the origins and treatment of loneliness remains unclear (...) The evolutionary model of loneliness (...) posits that perceived social isolation, or loneliness is a serious risk factor, which increases hypervigilance for social threat accompanied by physical and mental health consequences (e.g., stress, negative thinking and expectation of negative social information and interaction, anxiety and depression) (...) this study investigates the network structure of loneliness and hypothesized relations of each dimension of loneliness with key theoretical constructs or conceptual domains using a range of criteria. Finally, this study aims to determine how resilience is involved in the protection against loneliness and depressive symptoms.

(...) the measurement model of loneliness has been operationalized as a two-dimensional construct (i.e., emotional and social loneliness [...]) and as a three-dimensional construct (i.e., family, romantic and social loneliness [...]). Furthermore, the nomological network of loneliness was assessed by explicating each dimension through concurrent and prospective relations with broadly grouped, important conceptual domains such as cognitive processes (e.g., worry, rumination and metacognition), negative emotionality (e.g., anxiety and depression), resilience domains, and their associations with demographic variables (e.g., gender, age, marital status).

The more I dig, the more I find insightful things, and just how deep the loneliness rabbit hole goes... You know it’s ironic just how many mental illnesses and different ailments are implied to have loneliness as one of the outcomes, but not one of the causes. Because the way to approach these are completely different.

There is some evidence that, underlying the experience of loneliness are various maladaptive cognitive processes including worry, rumination, and metacognition (...) which are implicated in the relations between loneliness and mental health problems such as anxiety and depressive symptoms.

(...) Worry is characterized by repetitive thinking about future events, uncertainty about anticipated threats, and the underestimation of personal agency and abilities (...) There is growing evidence that lonely people engage in negative self-assessment by thinking that others will reject their company. As a result, they often isolate themselves, which reinforces their experiences of loneliness (...) The role of worry in loneliness is unclear, and as such it is worthwhile to investigate whether repetitive thinking about diminished personal agency and controllability of future events influence the experience of loneliness in different relationships.

Nolen-Hoeksema et al. (2008) defined rumination as the process of repetitive thinking about negative feelings and emotions. Loneliness has been found to be positively associated with rumination (...) The Self-Regulatory Executive Function Model (...) describes metacognitive beliefs as the knowledge base and the information processing system in which maladaptive thinking persist. Metacognitions are viewed as driving worry and rumination (...) and contribute to strengthen the relations between loneliness in social and romantic relationships and symptoms of anxiety and depression (...) Studies of individual differences in experiences of loneliness have also found that lonely people engage in self-focused, negative assessment of their ability to initiate and maintain social relationships. As a result, they approach social encounters with interpersonal mistrust.

I guess I could related more to this in the past, now I just feel to burnt out to care about what other people think. What I notice happening now is more this sense of “no one cares about you” because “you’re just another one” and “that’s how life is”. I’m not really worried people will reject me because no connection is occurring and no bond is at risk of breaking. There’s absolutely nothing so... rejection don’t really feel like an issue whatsoever.

Yeah, it’s as if I don’t see myself connected to others (because I truly don’t). Maybe that does fit in the self-focused negative assessment of ability to start/keep connections, huh?

(...) New and interesting information were found on the multidimensional experiences of loneliness that highlight potential areas of interest for intervention practice (...) intervention to reduce loneliness can become more effective by acting on highly connected indicators (nodes) as well as the nodes with the highest node strength centrality ([...] “I feel part of my family”). Especially strong connections emerged between SF4 and SF5 (“My family really cares about me”), both belonging to the family loneliness subcomponent. According to Borsboom and Cramer (2013), the more highly connected indicators are the central or more important indicators that are likely to spread activation in the network. Thus, from a network perspective, loneliness indicators in family relationships are more likely to set and spread activation of loneliness. Hence, interventions to combat loneliness that target self-focused negative thinking in the form of worry or metacognitive beliefs underlying the feeling of loneliness (...) may now be designed to influence perception of family relationships. Our findings may explain why previous loneliness reduction interventions to improve social skills through training, enhancing social support or increasing opportunities for social contact have been ineffective (Masi et al., 2011). Probably, because they did not include a component that addressed loneliness in the family environment, nor did they directly address worry, rumination, and metacognitions or fortifying resilience related factors. This needs to be further researched and supported empirically by intervention research.

I think I did talk about this before... about how “family” weights on my mind as one of the foundational sources of my disconnection/loneliness. Because, in my eyes, “family” represents the strongest, long-lasting bond I’m looking for (and I add “romance” here, too, because I feel like they’re intertwined).

Without a “family”, I have no foundation to hold onto so I go out seeking “family” and am met with disconnection because most people you’ll meet already have their “families” (and likely, already have fulfilling and/or established and/or long-term connections) and are not looking for a new one or to add any new “members”, as if I were trying to skip all the steps that one must take to “create a family” as an adult.

Therefore, I see myself attempting things to remedy the disconnection and these things go nowhere, or they’re very unstable and temporary. Causing me more frustration and depression, and pushing me to further isolate, since trying to connect with others is causing more pain, wounds and scars than anything.

(...) Age did not predict loneliness in family relationships. However, age significantly positively predicted loneliness in social relationships at T2 and loneliness in romantic relationships at T1 and T2 (...) In this study, it could be explained that increasing age had an impact on social and romantic loneliness because as people advanced in age, the connections in their social and close intimate relationships diminish. However, an interesting opposing view could also be that, when people advance in age, they put more value on their social relationships; hence becoming more vulnerable as the relationships become more important for them. However, our findings and interpretations are not conclusive as more longitudinal research is needed to investigate the age-loneliness relations in a developmental trend across the human course of life. Recently, it was found that changes in loneliness across the lifespan may be related to individual experiences and cannot be an age-specific phenomenon (...)

This paragraph really hits home for me...

It explains why I feel disconnected from peers my age (they’re already have their closed social circles, families, friends and partners, that they had time to hone and repair as needed - in this case, time could strengthen these bonds), and feel closer to younger people (who are still forming their social circles, etc).

What I noticed in people my age is some degree of stability and maturity in all aspects of their lives (material, financial, emotion, and so forth), they seem to be doing something with their lives and to have, maybe, some goals here and there, things that can take root and help them solidify a strong foundation: a home, a marriage, kids, a job/career, etc, or even having the opportunity to start anew: moving out, divorce, second career, etc...

I don’t really think I experienced that. If I were to write a resume of what I’ve been doing with my life is: I’ve been focusing on treating my mental illnesses. That’s it. The things that I do have going on for me come from a place of emotional attachments (to my passions and hobbies, not linked to people or places) and emotional maturity, but not material or financial (nor social) meaning... I have no roots set anywhere, they’re all emotional, and that on itself is not a solid foundation to build anything, from what I can tell by trying.

Consistent with previous studies (...) we found that participants who were single broadly reported the highest loneliness whereas being married, in cohabitation or having a girl/boyfriend mainly reported low loneliness. This highlights the importance of access to social needs, contacts or relationships for overcoming vulnerability in loneliness as human beings are social by nature. The need to belong as well as other social needs constitute a fundamental motivation that drives an individual’s thoughts, emotions, and interpersonal behavior (...)

Yes, exactly!

This is where I feel the divide really shows! Lonely people who are actually alone versus lonely people who have close people in their lives. These experiences feel completely different and in completely distinct degrees of intensity and severity. I feel like this goes tenfold for people such as myself, who have not experienced a (successful) romantic relationship, nor have a support system.

I don’t know if I should count my previous “support system” and “family” support at all because all my disorders originated from there. It was a unstable, dysfunctional and violent environment with high doses of neglect too.

And this is not said to invalidate other people’s experiences with loneliness. It’s just a much, much different issue when you’re dealing with loneliness completely on your own, versus when you’re dealing with loneliness and you have some kind of social support, family, friends, etc.

(...) Lonely people engage in self-focused negative assessment of their ability to initiate and maintain social relationships, thinking that others will criticize and reject their company (...) Repeatedly suppressing or thinking about negative feelings and emotions usually backfires (...) and may increase negative thoughts and feelings about socially undesirable attributes, social rejection, or exclusion by others, which can lead to difficulties in social interactions or relationships. As a result, this could create difficulties in social and interpersonal encounters that can reinforce and exacerbate the feeling of loneliness. Compared to nonlonely people, lonely people attribute their perception of interpersonal failures and rejections to personal unchangeable characteristics such as personality traits, rather than to situational or more changeable personal characteristics such as efforts to improve interpersonal encounters (...) Not surprisingly then, recent calls for interventions to address vulnerabilities in factors such as worry or metacognitive beliefs may significantly reduce loneliness (...)

(...) The feeling of loneliness is found to involve negative and disturbing emotions such as sense of failure and futility, sadness, unlovability and unwantedness, loss, unattractiveness and hopelessness, helplessness and dejection (...) that may explain the relations between social loneliness and depressive symptoms. Perseverative thinking related to these topics may be variations of worry and rumination, which are driven by metacognitions (...) It will be important to explore how addressing worry, rumination and metacognitions may be used to develop new interventions for loneliness.

And the longer you remain lonely, the worse these feelings get.

Maybe I’m at a point where there’s plausible deniability that I feel any of these things, after all I can just “avoid” it and reframe as something else so... again, it’s not like there’s anything inherently wrong with me, it’s just that “people are too busy” and most are not looking to get in a relationship or make new friends because they already have a lot going on in their lives.

There’s no point in feeling like I’m unlovable or unwanted, that I’m ugly or that there’s anything despicable about my very existence - I know that’s not the case, I know none of these things are true.

That’s what make it worse and more painful: I know my worth, I know I’m lovable, I know looks are just one of the many aspects of a person and yet I can’t help but feel all these things! Because, in the end of the day, I’m still alone despite attempts at trying to connect, despite masking and trying to fit, and despite being true to myself too... now it just drains me.

What else am I supposed to think? If I’m constantly denied the type of connection I seek and end up relegated to different roles or dynamics... yes it is my fault, and then what? What should I do? What can I do? Is it only my fault? Because connections don’t happen in the vacuum, and they definitely don’t happen one-sidedly - and I feel like an expert on one-sided things...

(...) Perception of self and family cohesion showed significant and unique protection against family loneliness whereas planned future and social competence showed unique protection against social loneliness. Social resources showed the broadest unique effects against both social and family loneliness (...) The definition of the various resilience factors by Hjemdal et al. (2001) (...) may shed some useful insight into understanding how resilience factors contribute to overcome loneliness in different relationships. In this regard, it can be argued that trust and confidence in one’s own abilities and shared familial values and mutual appreciation contribute to overcome the loneliness in family environment whereas a preference for making plans and believing in one’s own success and being flexible in social encounters contribute to overcome social loneliness. These resilience factors are at the opposite end of what typically lonely people exhibit such as negative self-assessment of ability to initiate and maintain social relationships, interpersonal mistrust, and the expectation that others will criticize and reject their company. Finally, access to external social support networks outside the family, including relatives and friends may contribute to overcome both social and family loneliness. Resilience moderated the prospective relations between loneliness, the social and family loneliness dimensions, and depressive symptoms. This indicates that more access to protective factors involved in resilience can counteract the negative effects of loneliness in social and family relationships. Resilience represents intrapersonal and interpersonal resources that can overcome discrepancy in desired and actual levels of social relationships. Our findings also show that not all lonely people will develop mental health problems with elevated levels of depressive symptoms if they have more access to resilience factors in their life, supporting the protective model of resilience (...). Resilience-based interventions that address psychological and social factors to improve social connectedness and quality of social interactions may thus offer valuable contributions in reducing mental health problems related to loneliness.

Not surprising, “if you already have people in your life, loneliness becomes easier to address”.

...

I don’t know what I was expecting really, all these articles always end up the same way with the same conclusion and they’re always only looking at one side of the story: lonely people.

They always talk about “solutions” and “interventions” that work in theory but in practice overlook intersectionality and marginalizations, among other things. Every. Goddamn. Time.

This is so exhausting...

What's the point of this post? Raph and his mental heath uwu have fun! :D

Raphael across the franchise is often shown to have anextiy and I argue many also do have depression as well. Having a lot todo with why he carries himself the way he doss why he buckles under pressure. Why he is so quick to get angry and most importantly way many of the takes seem to have these low energy moments time to time. Ill get more in depth for each of my red boys. under read more cause it'll be a tad long

so 87 raph show and bits taken from the merag comics

03/07 raph the 03 show and 07 movie and any comics that tie into these I also take stuff from the dark horse comics as well for this raph. And a bit of the IDW ones 12 show/comics/some shorts I also take a bit of the idw comics for this raph more so cause they sort of share some common things rise is mostly the show and any stuff i’ve seen from crew and what not.

Over all though you do see Raphael display traits as just part of who he is. This is more for Raph over all under the cut well dive a bit deeper. No I get most this from shows and comics.

- Raph is one of the night owls out of the family (funny considering their life style) he has trouble sleeping mostly why he sneaks out so often to go to the surface once they have that freedom. - Raph displays anxiety symptom in many adaptions especially 2012 and rise

- Feeling numb or isolated, Raph himself even calls himself a lone wolf despite the family dynamic. And often sets himself off on his own.

- Chronic feeling of unhappiness usually cover by the whole always being mad one.

- Feelings of hopelessness or emptiness

-Mood swings raph can be fine one second then losing it the next

1987 Raphael

What this happy Jellybean? yes uwu

I would say he has just general Anxiety from watching a bit here and there lately. When things get a bit too stressful or something causes worry Raph kind of is often more vocal about it all. Even down to like Mikey getting hurt he was the most panicked. High stress situations tend to bring it out with him snapping as well. For 87 though I feel he has more recurrent depression. He just gets a few episodes of major depression. Its something that is a bit reoccurring for Raphael. And sure can be notable he’s far more aggressive and becomes a tad closed off. Seeing how 87 is a bit more open with even physical touching this should be noticeable. he is also a bit more prone to breaking down. Raph isn’t a stranger to crying but when hes dealing with a depression episode? he a tad more likely to lash out and get worked up. Hes not really aware he has depression. Often just says he’s in a mood sometimes they are short and sometimes long and he will be upfront about it. “hmm sorry just in a mood I haven’t slept maybe i’m tried guys.” kind of logic to his who deal. Considering the time mental health wasn’t talked as much so I can see others taking it at face vaule outside his brothers and close friends i wager cause they tend to be a bit more keyed into Raph’s emotional state. He deff seeks to fight more as well so spends a good more time with Casey cause he needs to vent it out. So Casey growing over protective of him? yeah hits him during those episodes.

2003 Raphael

Oh the one who started this headcannon of mine so long ago uwu

This boy has clear anxiety personal I feel all the turtles have forms of PTSD cause they go through shit. Which is what I say Raph has, it gets worse when he and his brothers are in some pretty bad spots. He tends to fine when Leo’s around however I know its slightly stated as a joke but the fact Raph didn’t snap back or hit Mikey says a lot. In Samurai tourist Mikey goes on about all Leo dose for the family and how him being Leo allows them all freedom. Like Raph not having to worry about thinking because Leo thinks for him. Despite himself he relies on Leo to make the hard choices even if he sometimes dissagress with them when he dosen’t though? Raph is a great at what hes asked todo steal them a ride, sneak into places. When Raph is left to think himself? he tends to make poor choices and his anxiety gets the better of him I say city at war shows they since he and Leo are on different sides nearly the whole time. Often this is why he is free to be reckless.

Depression oh this boy has Bipolar Disorder. Its the main reason for his reckless behvior. His mood swings, elevated mood, Anger*, guilt, hopelessness restlessness, self harm, dis organized behavior, excess desire for sex impulsivity and so on and so forth I could go on for Raph with this in truth.

A lot of why he is is because he is dealing with this it’s why when he gose to far into anger it’s like he is a different person in his blind rage. When Raph turly snaps he losses sense of himself. And needs to be grounded back again. Unlike 87 Raph though he dose learn he has depression but he don’t learn that for a good while. He just often is left to think something is wrong with him, and he dosen’t know what it is. He feels what ever it is will hurt those he loves and that how we get into

-2007 im obessed with this movie u-u

Since I write 2007 as a continuation of 03. So In the Raphael prequel comic we see how he got the Nightwatch name and such he took over the mantel from the previous Nightwatcher (I wont spoil this in case people wanna read that comic or whatever this video dose a good job covering it however) This takes place just before Leo leaves however. But they are told he will be so Raph already sulking during this. But this meeting with the previous Nightwatcher happens at the right time for Raphael in a way. Now as I mentioned before Leo is someone Raph look towards for guidance. Despite how they are and how he will fight Leo he respects his brother and will often listen to him and value what he says and thinks. So when leo was sent away? Raphael felt lost. But then he had this as something to latch on to. As the Nightwatcher he could still do good. However his depression got worse Once Leo left thier home slowly became undone, it was a slow change over time and Raph started to feel like it was him who did it. “Home been awful here is awful. Is it me?” He feels this thing that is wrong with him is doing it and wherever he gose it gets worse. He was fine at the start but as leo sort of distance during his trip Raph took it personal like Leo was happier away from them. When he is at home he feels he’s bring eveyone else down Don seems to find a girl who make him happy, Mikey seems to love his job and keeps busy. Splinter seems content. All Raph is doing is bring them all down with him. Slowly he become distinct himself the only thing that he seems to be doing right? is being the nigthwatcher cause all he is doing to everyone else is hurting them. Im sure he lashed out to all his loved one before he fully pushed all away. Small thing being a bit more testy and such and since he isn’t aware of his bi polar disorder just yet? He feels something is just wrong with him u-u One night wehn hes playing Nightwatcher he sees an accident at the docks. And it what kind of made him see his awful solution. He was just going to drag them all down with him Leo was safe and free good for him. But everyone else? Idk when or how he dose get confirmation on his depression likely when he starts trying to patch things up with everyone he dosen’t expect any of them to forgive him. But knowing in part why he got so bad? it helps.And I say after the event sof the movie since by then everyone is sort of recovering from everything is when Raph finally tells people about it not to excuse his behavior no he tells them because he wants them to know hes gonna get better. Its a miracle to him that Donnie forgives him and that hell him and casey even mange to get back together ;3;

2012 Raphael

THIS BOY’S ANEXITY IS BASICALLY CANON IN THIS SHOW! Once more Im saying PTSD hes got some clear truama and truama bait and fuel uwu Raph Dose have an extream fear of bugs which dose count as a type of anxiety primarily though I would say 2012 Raph deals with Panic Disorder, he’s been shown to have panic attack before and they can get so bad he even hallucinates. I feel Raphael in 2012 dose also have Bipolar Disorder much like his 2003 counter part dose. Because he dose match many similar story beats when it comes to his anger issues.And he dose share similar symptoms the recklessness, impulsive, mood swings. His own anger often been seen worse by the team though Leo even pointing out they can’t trust him till he gets his anger under control. And he truly uses his anger as a defense and shield often needs to be snapped out of it because he too can go into blind rage when hes upset enough. He is far more emotionally connected compared to the 03 Raphael being referred to as being sensitive often even it’s because of those mood swings of his. He often has a lot of days where he feels low, he just dosen’t have energy to do anything. He tends to lounge around a lot on those days, he dosen’t mind being around others when he is but it’s kind of easy to notice because he won’t even get mad when having those episodes. Often its why he can be found brooding in the pool of water in the lair. He dosen’t mean to go ‘dark’ as in not as commutative but it happens. He even dose it to his family hell go to trianing but soon as its over hes just back in the water. No he dose know he has these issues, he might not know the exact depression and anxiety but he knows he has these issues. Thing is Raph is very in the mind set of “it’s all in my head, so it’s nothing to worry about.” in other words if I ignore it it never happened uwu. In other words he mentions it but down plays it as being no big deal. Im sure he’s done so with Casey on the days hes down and just wants to like lie around instead of get into trouble. If casey asks hell just says he just not up for it. He not avoiding it persay more feels it not abig deal and so it shouldn’t be a big deal. His family are likely more aware he has it so he just assume they will know what up so he dosen’t always voice it to them. Dose being a tad clingy to them. Hang around Leo suddenly, may talk to Donnie about whatever they are working on, chills out with mikey willing letting them paint his nails/shell he just wants company more and tend to be needy for attetion those days.

Rise

Now again his anxiety is very clearly shown he has separation anxiety for one. Raph didn’t have enough support or guidance growing up he had to grow up fast for his brothers so they kind of had it but he didn’t. THis has left him to feel insecure and even fearful usualy about if he is doing the right thing for his brothers and by them. HE has a more parental air around him when it comes to them. Hes hard on Leo cause he knows they are holding back and just cruising by. He coddles Donnie a bit because he knows they are bit more sensitive then he lets on and sort of babies Mikey cause he is the youngest and isn’t ready for them to grow up. Its why he freaks out when he is suddenly apart from them. It different when hes aware of it but when he suddenly finds himself lost? he panics. Depression can be hereditary and Splinter clearly has it himself. I feel Raph in rise however more has Atypical Depression, it can increase ones appetite and Raph eats like anything and everything at times. And adds to weight gain (been mentioned at times hes gained weight) He tends to sleep more but keeping to his schedule helps. He also is aware he has depression once more he might not know the type may down play it compared to his fathers own even. He likely told Yvoone he dose get depressed sometimes when she first is around to see that side of him.

Sudden Heart Attacks in Young People: A Growing Concern

In recent years, India has seen a worrying rise in heart attacks among young people. Daily news of sudden cardiac arrests among young Indians has turned the spotlight on this issue. Television icon Sidharth Shukla passed away suddenly due to a heart attack. Andhra Pradesh’s Minister of Information Technology and Industries, Mekapati Goutham Reddy, died of a heart attack at the age of 50. Famous singer KK also passed away at 53 after falling ill during a show. These sudden deaths have left millions shocked—how can individuals who appear fit, eat well, and regularly visit the gym die so unexpectedly? Recently, many other tragic cases have also highlighted this alarming trend.

BUY BEST SUPPLEMENTS FOR HEART HEALTH

"The increasing number of heart disease-related deaths among the youth has raised serious concerns about heart health and preventive measures."

The figures say it all

According to many doctors and health experts, the heart problems among Indians have doubled in the last decade. "Heart health" has become one of the most searched terms on google and there is growing concern about the rise in cardiac arrest cases, especially among young people, after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Here are some key facts:

The World Health Organization states that India accounts for one-fifth of the 17.9 million global deaths from cardiovascular diseases, particularly among the younger generation.

The Indian Heart Association reports that 50% of all heart attacks in Indian men occur under the age of 50, and 25% occur under 40.

Heart attacks in people under 40, once rare, now affect 1 in every 5 patients.

Between 2000 and 2016, the rate of heart attacks in young people (20s and early 30s) increased by 2% every year.

"These facts highlight the alarming rise in heart attacks among the young generation."

How Common Are Sudden Heart Attacks?

Heart attacks are becoming more common among young people in India, especially those aged 25-44.

Studies show a 30% increase in heart attacks in this age group during the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic.

This alarming trend highlights the need for increased awareness and preventive measures for heart health in young adults.

Causes of Sudden Heart Attacks in Young People

Genetics

Family History: If your close relatives (like parents or siblings) have had heart disease, your risk is higher because you might inherit the same genes.

Inherited Conditions: Conditions like high cholesterol or high blood pressure can be passed down, increasing your risk of heart disease.

Lifestyle

Unhealthy Foods: Eating too much fast food, sugary drinks, and processed foods can increase the risk of heart disease. These foods are high in fat, sugar, and salt, which can block arteries.

Lack of Physical Activity: Not being active enough can weaken your heart. Regular exercise is essential to keep heart healthy.

Smoking and Alcohol: Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption are major risk factors for heart disease. They damage blood vessels and heart.

Rise of Fast Food in India: The rise in fast food and sugary drink consumption in India has contributed to more heart disease cases.

Also Read: 8 Steps for Preventing Heart Disease

Health Conditions

High Blood Pressure: This means heart has to work harder to pump blood. Over time, this can damage heart and lead to a heart attack.

Diabetes: High sugar levels in blood can harm blood vessels and heart.

Obesity: Being overweight puts extra strain on heart.

Stress

High Stress Levels: Constant stress can raise blood pressure and harm heart.

COVID-19 and Heart Problems

COVID-19 can cause inflammation in the heart muscle, known as myocarditis. This inflammation can lead to complications like irregular heartbeats, heart failure, and even sudden cardiac arrest. The virus can also affect the lining of blood vessels, leading to blood clots, which can cause heart attacks or strokes.

Diabetes and Heart Disease

Diabetes is a major risk factor for heart disease. High blood sugar levels can damage blood vessels and the nerves that control the heart. Over time, this damage can lead to atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), which increases the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

"In India, the number of people with diabetes is rising rapidly, making it a significant health concern."

Signs of a Sudden Heart Attack

Knowing the signs of a heart attack can save lives. Common symptoms include:

Chest pain or discomfort: Feels like pressure, squeezing, fullness, or pain.

Shortness of breath: Can happen with or without chest pain.

Nausea or vomiting: Some people feel sick to their stomach.

Lightheadedness or dizziness: Feeling faint or dizzy.

Pain in the arms, neck, jaw, or back: This pain can be in one or both arms, the neck, jaw, or back.

How to Lower Risk of Heart Attacks

Regular Exercise: Activities like walking, jogging, or yoga can keep heart strong.

Balanced Diet: Eating a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins helps maintain heart health.

Avoid Smoking and Alcohol: Smoking and drinking too much alcohol can damage heart and blood vessels, so it’s best to quit or limit these habits.

Manage Stress: Techniques like meditation, deep breathing, and spending time with loved ones can help reduce stress.

Regular Health Check-ups: These can help detect and manage risk factors like high blood pressure and diabetes early on.

Conclusion

The increase in sudden heart attacks among young people is worrying and needs attention. By living a healthy lifestyle, managing stress, and staying informed about heart health, you can lower your risk of heart disease. Awareness and proactive measures are key to fighting this growing heart health issue

10 Medical Conditions That Impact Women More Than Men

Being a woman comes with so many blessings. Our bodies can do unique and amazing things — like growing life. But if you’re a woman, you’re also at greater risk for a number of diseases and conditions that are less common in men. We’re here to spread awareness about 12 of them, what they are and where to find help.

Anxiety

Women are twice as likely as men to be diagnosed with an anxiety disorder in their lifetime. While it’s normal for all of us to worry at times, an anxiety disorder is constant, severe and negatively impacts day-to-day living. The five most common anxiety disorders are generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), panic disorder (PD) and social anxiety disorder (SAD). Prioritize taking care of your mental health.

Autoimmune Diseases

There are more than 80 autoimmune diseases, and more than 75% of patients who have them are women. Autoimmune illnesses occur when the body’s immune system goes into overdrive and mistakenly attacks its own healthy cells. A few of the most common autoimmune diseases are lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, celiac disease, Type 1 diabetes and multiple sclerosis. Eating well is key to staying well if you have an autoimmune disease.

Breast Cancer

Breast cancer in men is a possibility, but it’s 100 times more common in women. The average risk of a woman developing breast cancer in her lifetime is about 12%. You can reduce your risk by living a healthy lifestyle — eating a balanced diet, choosing not to smoke, limiting alcohol intake and staying active.

Broken Heart Syndrome

Broken heart syndrome is a temporary heart condition that mimics a heart attack. It’s often triggered by stressful situations, extreme emotions, surgery or a serious physical injury. The stress is usually sudden and acute, emotional or physical, and quickly weakens the heart muscle from the overwhelming amount of adrenaline produced in response. According to the American Heart Association, broken heart syndrome is more common in women than in men.

Depression

Like anxiety, which is often comorbid with depression, women are also twice as likely as men to have depression. Depression can be caused and influenced by biological factors like fluctuating female hormones during the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, the Pospartum period and menopause. Environmental factors like stress, pain, medical problems and level of family and social support also come into play.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a condition that occurs when digestive complaints such as cramping, diarrhea, constipation and bloating last for three months or more. It’s more common in women, and their symptoms tend to worsen at the start of each menstrual period.

Migraines

Migraines are severe, sometimes chronic headaches. They can cause nausea, vomiting, light and sound sensitivity and vision changes. They affect more than 30 million Americans, but women are three times more likely than man to get migraines. They could be triggered by hormone changes.

Osteoporosis

In osteoporosis, the bones become weak and more likely to break. Of the ten million Americans estimated to have osteoporosis, 80% of them are women. The older you are, the higher your risk gets when menopause sets in. Estrogen levels drop and bone loss increases as a result. To slow bone loss, get plenty of vitamin D, calcium and exercise.

Stroke

Strokes block the blood flow to the brain and kill more women than men. While risk factors like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking and family medical history apply to everyone, women have some unique risk factors for stroke. They are pregnancy, taking birth control pills, using hormone replacement therapy and having frequent migraines.

Urinary Tract Infections

Women have a higher rate of UTIs than men. Experts believe that because women have shorter urethras, they’re more prone to bacterial transmissions in the genital area.

Comprehensive, Compassionate Women’s Care for Every Need

From annual wellness visits to female primary care to get women health care services and finding solutions for your most sensitive health concerns. Whatever your age and stage of life, and however complex your medical condition, we’re here to help you feel whole.

Age, Wisdom, and Sex: Thriving in Your Sexual Prime

In the broad tapestry of life, aging is a natural occurrence that we all face. This path brings insight, self-assurance, and, yes, changes in our bodies, including sexual health. Erectile dysfunction is one of the most prevalent issues that men confront as they become older. But don't worry, because in this blog, we'll get into the nitty gritty of this topic, analyzing its causes, cures, and how you can approach this element of your life with confidence and vibrancy.

Understanding Erectile Dysfunction

Let's begin by demystifying erectile dysfunction. It's more than just a physical illness; it can also have emotional and psychological effects. Simply expressed, erectile dysfunction refers to the inability to achieve or sustain a firm adequate erection for sexual intercourse. While it is commonly associated with older men, it can occur at any age for a variety of causes.

Causes of Erectile Dysfunction

Physical Factors: Cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, excessive blood pressure, and hormonal abnormalities are examples of such conditions. Essentially, anything that reduces blood supply to the penis or damages nerves might be the cause of erectile dysfunction.

Psychological Factors: Stress, anxiety, sadness, and interpersonal troubles can all contribute to erectile dysfunction. Fear of not being able to perform sexually can intensify the condition, resulting in a vicious cycle.

Lifestyle Habits: Smoking, heavy alcohol use, substance abuse, and sedentary behavior can all raise the risk of erectile dysfunction. These habits may lead to the underlying health issues described previously.

Medications: Certain drugs, such as those used to treat high blood pressure, depression, and prostate disorders, can have an adverse effect on erectile performance.

Age: While aging does not cause erectile dysfunction, it does raise the probability of developing it due to natural changes in the body with time, such as decreasing blood flow and hormone levels.

Seeking Treatment for Erectile Dysfunction

Now let's speak about solutions. If you have erectile dysfunction, remember that you are not alone and that there are effective therapies available. The goal is to address the root cause, which may necessitate a comprehensive strategy. Here are several avenues to investigate:

Medications: Tadarise 40mg is a popular and successful treatment for erectile dysfunction. These drugs function by boosting blood flow to the penis, which allows for an erection when sexually stimulated. It is a trustworthy option for many men, providing a consistent answer to their erectile dysfunction problems. Remember to always see a healthcare expert before beginning any drug.

Lifestyle Changes: A better lifestyle can greatly improve erectile function. This includes regular exercise, eating a well-balanced diet, stopping smoking, limiting alcohol use, and managing stress using relaxation techniques or therapy.

Therapy: When psychological problems are at play, treatment can be quite useful. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), in particular, has shown promise in assisting males with performance anxiety and other psychological hurdles to intimacy.

Medical Interventions: In severe cases where other therapies have failed, medical measures such as penile implants or vascular surgery may be used. These choices are usually reserved for patients who have not responded to less intrusive treatments.

Embracing Your Sexual Prime

Regardless of the difficulties that come with aging, remember that your sexual prime is governed by more than just your physical ability. True vitality is a combination of physical health, emotional well-being, and a happy attitude. Here are some ideas for prospering during your sexual peak.

Communication is Key: Open and honest conversation with your partner about your feelings, desires, and any difficulties you are experiencing can deepen your relationship and increase intimacy.

Focus on Pleasure: Instead of putting pressure on yourself to perform, prioritize enjoyment and intimacy. Discover new methods to interact with your partner while prioritizing mutual satisfaction.

Stay Curious and Adventurous: Keep the flame alive by experimenting in the bedroom. Whether it's playing with different positions, introducing toys, or exploring fantasies, maintaining a spirit of curiosity and adventure can help keep things interesting.

Self-Care Matters: Take good care of your physical and mental wellness. This involves obtaining regular check-ups, dealing with stress, getting enough sleep, and doing things that make you happy and fulfilled.

To summarize, while living with erectile dysfunction can be difficult, it's vital to remember that it's a common problem with effective remedies. By addressing the root causes, getting appropriate treatment, and taking a holistic approach to sexual health, you may manage this element of aging with confidence and vitality. So embrace your age, use your wisdom, and regain your sexual peak with vigor. After all, life is meant to be lived fully, both inside and outside the bedroom.

Jeff Geschwind Don't Let Cancer Perplex You; Read On

Jeff Geschwind Expert tips provider. Open lines of communication are incredibly important when you or someone you know has been diagnosed with cancer, but what you are actually communicating is equally important. Make sure you always have the best information available to deal with cancer. Here are some expert tips that will assist you in fighting cancer.

Try to reduce the amount of sugar that you consume, as part of your daily diet. Cancer cells live on sugar, so removing sugar from your daily food intake has positive effects on starving cancer cells. You can use this technique along with other treatments to boost their effectiveness.

With cancer, early detection is important and will increase the chance of cure. Be prepared to make appointments for screening tests, which will let you know if you have cancer before any symptoms appear. For testes and breast cancer, do self-exams monthly so that you may determine anything unusual.

If you are diagnosed with cancer, then you should remember to try to find out everything you can from your doctor about your illness and its treatment. Ask questions that will tell you what kind of cancer you have, what stage it is in, if it is treatable, where it is located, how far it has spread, and more. This will not only give you ease of mind, but it will inform you on the best ways to treat your cancer.

Carcinogens are substances that damage DNA. They are instrumental in starting and aiding in the growth of cancers. Things to stay away from that are carcinogenic are tobacco, asbestos, x-rays, the sun and exhaust fumes. Exposure to these substances causes cells to stop functioning in a normal way.

You should read books about cancer survivors when you are coping with cancer because it may help to give you inspiration. Reading inspirational books about survivors is a great way to give yourself the mental boost that is needed when you are feeling worried, stressed or depressed about your cancer.

The sun can be a major cancer causing factor for many people. The sun releases ultraviolet rays that enter the earth's atmosphere. When we step outside, our skin is exposed to these rays, and too much exposure can cause skin damage that can lead to skin cancer. Be sure to protect yourself with sun screen to prevent this.

Jeff Geschwind Skilled tips provider. Be mindful that any fruits and vegetables that you purchase at the store are possibly contaminated. Pesticides are used on these crops to guard against diseases and pests. Wash your produce in warm water with dish soap, or consider buying only organic foods.

Don't change your life drastically. It may be better if you try to maintain your lifestyle as it was while introducing necessary modifications. A big change can increase your stress level and confuse the people around you. Take every day at a time and make changes to your life as is needed.

Drinking those sugary sodas and other beverages can actually increase your risk of contracting cancer, so you should get rid of them. The high amount of calories and simple carbohydrates can cause weight gain, which in turn can invite cancer to grow and spread in numerous places in the human body.

Try limiting fat in your diet. By decreasing the amount of fat, you will lower your cancer risk. Avoid frying, especially deep frying. There are alternatives to frying such as baking, roasting, broiling, and steaming. Try to buy the low or non fat versions of your favorite foods, like milk and yogurt.

The more active you are in your own treatment, the better advocate for your care you will be. Don't settle for sitting on the sidelines. You will not get better if you aren't actively involved in the process.

Staying out of the sun is key in preventing skin cancer, but most people do not listen to this advice in the wintertime. Believe it or not, the same UV rays from the sun penetrate the atmosphere in the cooler months too. You might not feel the heat, but you will receive the same radiation.

If you are responsible for helping out a relative fighting cancer and go with them to medical appointments, make certain to speak up and ask any questions you have yourself. Just because you aren't a patient doesn't mean you shouldn't have questions for the doctor as well. The goal is to be able to offer the support needed and doing so through a professional's advice, not guesswork or theories.

Jeff Geschwind Top service provider. If you have pale skin and many freckles, you are likely at a higher risk of developing skin cancer and should avoid the sun as much as possible. If you do not have many freckles, you are going to want to wear a sunscreen with a higher sun protection factor to protect your skin from sun damage.

You may feel that you are going to be fine to take yourself to your appointments for treatment but do not hesitate to ask a loved one for help getting there. You will find your loved ones will do just about anything to help you through this difficult time including driving you to your appointments.

If you find that your hair is falling out from chemotherapy treatment, do not be ashamed to get a wig. By wearing a wig, not only will you have your hair, but you will be protecting your scalp from dirt and germs. If you cannot afford a wig, certain organizations may provide one for you.

Take time out of your schedule to pamper yourself a bit. You can go and get a manicure and pedicure or just take a candlelit bath. This time is important and you should really make the most out of every minute that you have to relax and enjoy time.

Jeff Geschwind Proficient tips provider. By using accurate information to assist you in the battle against such a sickness, you can put yourself in a better position to ultimately win. Do not take the great tips you just read for granted. They may just help to save your life or the life of someone you care about.

Reasons Why You Need to Get a Health Insurance

Your health should be a key priority in today's world of constant change. Even while leading a healthy lifestyle is essential, accidents and illnesses can happen without warning. Health insurance is helpful in this situation. Health insurance is a safety net when you need high-quality medical care.

Health insurance offers many advantages to safeguard your physical well-being and financial security, whether dealing with a minor injury or suffering a significant health problem.

In this post, we'll examine why talking with a health insurance broker in NJ is essential for living a secure life without anxiety.

To fight lifestyle diseases

The prevalence of lifestyle diseases is increasing, particularly among those under 45. Diabetes, obesity, lung issues, heart disease, and other conditions common in older individuals are also common in younger people. Sedentary lifestyles, stress, pollution, unhealthful eating patterns, gadget addiction, and irresponsible lifestyles contribute to these disorders.

While taking precautions can help prevent and control chronic diseases, dealing with an unexpected situation financially can be difficult. Investing in a health insurance broker in NJ that includes routine medical exams can aid in the early detection of specific ailments and simplify handling medical costs, giving you one less thing to worry about.

To safeguard your family

Instead of purchasing separate plans for each family member, you can cover everyone under the same policy when searching for the appropriate health insurance plan. Consider your dependent kids and aging parents, who are probably more susceptible to illnesses.

If you have the right health insurance broker in NJ, you won't have to worry about ensuring they receive the most excellent medical care should anything unfortunate happen. Make sure to do your homework, seek the advice of experts, and choose a plan that offers comprehensive coverage.

To deal with medical inflation

The price of therapy grows as disease rates rise and medical technology advances. It's also crucial to realize that medical expenses are unrelated to hospitals. The price of doctor consultations, diagnostic tests, ambulance fees, operating room fees, medications, and other costs are also steadily rising.

If you are unprepared, all of them could significantly burden your budget. You can avoid the burden of medical inflation and choose high-quality care without worrying about the expense by paying a reasonably priced annual health insurance premium.

To protect your savings

While dealing with a sudden sickness can cause emotional pain and stress, there is another aspect of managing a physical condition that can drain you financially. You can better manage your medical expenses by purchasing good health insurance coverage without using all your money.

Your investments can be used for their intended purposes, such as retirement, property ownership, and raising a family. Also, health insurance entitles you to tax advantages, boosting your savings even more.

Insure early to stay secured

Early talking with health insurance brokers in NJ offers many advantages. You can enroll in plans at reduced rates since you are young and healthy; the benefit will last as you age. You will also have the choice of more comprehensive coverage packages.

Pre-existing conditions are typically not covered by insurance during a waiting period. You will benefit from having comprehensive coverage that will be helpful if you become unwell later in life because this period will end while you are still young and healthy.

Conclusion

Securing health insurance is crucial to safeguarding your health and financial stability. Additionally, it offers peace of mind, knowing that you and your loved ones are protected during medical emergencies.

Prioritizing health insurance is an investment in your well-being and an essential aspect of responsible financial planning. Take the necessary steps to explore different health insurance options and choose a health insurance broker in NJ that best suits your needs.

Contact Murray Talks Insurance if you are looking for the best health insurance broker in NJ.

I think this shows you certainly don't understand the whole "anti psych" movement to begin with.

There are many issues that are consistent with psychiatry today:

Some illnesses that exist, are prevalent only because of the socioeconomics issues causing stress in a person's life (it includes some physical illnesses like type 2 diabete btw but this post is about mental health), especially mental health issues like generalized anxiety or depression. A lot of mental illnesses, including schizophrenia etc, would cause less symptoms if the person was in a less stressful and safe environment, aka not worrying everyday by money, safe housing, etc etc. A key component of handling those issues are not through more meds or more therapy or internment in psychiatry, but through the government. The individualistic approach of psychiatry doesn't adress it, it's merely a bandage on a never ending bleeding wound. Meds don't fix things.

Therapy, except probably cognitive behavioral therapy for specific anxiety related mental health issues, are not really proven to be effective more than placebo. That is a massive issue in the science part of psychiatry today, and it's largely ignored by everyone. We have papers concluding on an effect of therapy versus nothing, because obviously, when you have someone who listens to you, you feel better than if you don't have anyone to speak to. If therapy works on you, it's probably because someone is listening to you with empathy and care, without judging or consistently against your interpretations of lived experience, and trying to be a team player by finding better ways to handle issues, which is also a thing that a large majority of psychologists and psychiatrists are incapable of doing. But it's not a psychologist only skillset. As a volunteer in a hospital, it was asked of me to be listening, with empathy and care, without judging or going against the interpretations of patients. It helped many many many people, to just "be there" and listen.

A lot of therapists are frauds, fullstop. Because of the issue of not being able to listen, and doing therapies that aren't proven to be true, they are frauds. And we have almost not way of determining whether a psychologist is a fraud or not before meeting them and/or before testing their therapy in a scientific manner, which goes back to my point before. That's without going into the state of psychology as a field in research today, with the lack of reproductive papers.

In psych wards, people are drugged, sometimes without their consent, sometimes with dubious consent, especially because it makes it easier to handle patients in general. Those drugs are not harmless and sometimes the benefits/risks is very debatable. Psychiatrists don't always explain what's going to happen with those drugs. In psych ward I was the one giving other patients the information about what particular drugs did or what were their side effects because they had no knowledge of it. I could go on and on on psych wards to be honest, because there are many issues about it. The lack of body autonomy, the constraints, the lack of consent, the harmful relationship of "you do everything we ask or you're not in the care path we'll abuse you", the prejudice of the staff, etc etc... I knew someone who got locked down in a room without their phone or any contact with the exterior world.

As for my own testimony, I've met over 5 therapists, I've always been a "good patient" and tried very very very hard to go on full therapy because my own mother always told me to go to therapy if I had issues. It never worked on me. Never. No matter the kind of therapy (even CBT but I think that's because the psychologist doing it was incompetent, for example, I have sometimes intrusive thoughts about hurting people and she was like "but you don't want to... Right?" So yeah, way to help someone with intrusive thoughts, asking them whether they actually do want to hurt people or not). It creates, on top of that, a phobia of it, because of all the bad experiences that are adding up to one another. I cannot go into another therapists without feeling all guarded up waiting for the moment when the therapist won't be up to standard, will be judging and/or interpret things about me that are wrong, based on biases about me, and it will hurt me and piss me off, but I'll still breathe and stay calm, and I'll still pay the 50 bucks that they will have robbed off of me. After psych ward I was on antipsychotics (because I refused antidepressants) and on bendodiazepines (only if necessary and I was always reasonable with it). I managed to fix my socio economics status and issues to live in a safe and positive environment, I don't take antipsychotics, and I barely take BZDs now. I'm not "cured" but I don't need meds to live a somewhat normal life (well technically except T, and you could argue it's linked because testosterone has effect on the brain etc, but it's not "psych" meds and it has less harmful side effects). 8 years ago after psych ward I was homeless, I thankfully had friends who sheltered me, and then I got a job that I loved for 7 years, got my home, got my cat. That's what helped me.

After you get told "you just haven't met the right therapist" after you tried several times, and managed to get better without it, it gets old, especially when the scientific data doesn't really show anything at all.

Yes, some abusive people thrives on anti-psych stuff, my father included, but it's not the same "anti-psych". They never experienced therapy or psych ward, they never looked into the subject deeply, they have a prejudice. People in the anti-psych movement usually have an informed view of the issue and are experienced in the field as patients and researched the shit. You think it helped you, but it added so many unnecessary traumas to other people who were already struggling. During your whole argument in the comments you try to say that "yeah I was involuntary but it helped me", maybe there are other ways that don't hurt people actually. Maybe what you lived through was unnecessary actually. The benefits/risks isn't that clear, and it's needed to rethink this whole organization, in a more global way, based on scientific data and patients inputs.

I saw your comment on anti vaxx, it's not comparable to therapy. Vaccines are scientifically proven to work versus placebo.

i see anti-psych getting thrown around a lot in endogenic spaces.

I get it. You don't actually have the disorder you wish you had and professionals tell you this. So, you're anti-psych. But.

Being Anti-Psych and perpetuating that online is Not Okay.

You see there's this thing called generational trauma, and that at its core usually is a scenario where someone has trauma and mental health issues and instead of going to therapy, they have children. And then the cycle just continues and continues.

The only way to break this cycle is therapy, and because generational trauma THRIVES on anti-psych mentalities, many of the people who want to break the cycle struggle.

To give a personal anecdote, my mother hates therapy - she has never been to therapy and she will never. she also questions anyone who seeks out therapy (including myself) and tries to convince them they are better off without it. my mother also has extensive trauma and mental health issues and as a result my mother has been one of my main abusers throughout my life.

Therapy is NOT always easy or straightforward I GET IT

there is really good therapists, but there still is therapists that aren't good. by the time i realized that i needed a proper therapist i had gone through extensive trauma and my therapist was severely under qualified to deal with me and ended up crying in front of me after a particular rough session.

i was put off from therapy for a really long while after that and probably would have called myself "anti-psych"

but then my mental health issues got so bad i ended up in a psych ward and i was forced to have a therapist. and through her, i have healed SO incredibly much. i can see now how incredibly important therapy is to individuals with trauma but also to the loved ones of those with trauma. i can see how therapy really does stop the cycle of generational trauma and abuse.

Encouraging others online to be anti-psych especially in a space with vulnerable young people with trauma is inexcusable.

it is so fucking harmful and i hate you all who do it i hate you SO FUCKING MUCH

Overthinking? Well, I'm pretty sure I'm not overthinking. Am I?

Ah yes, overthinking. It’s a trap many of us have found ourselves in. It’s one of the things I seem to do constantly to the point I just want to scream at my brain to shut it because of the amount of stress it’s causing me. So, I’m going to be a bit ironic here and analyze it.

While I do agree that stepping back to think about a problem and its many nuances is a wonderful ability (that I wish more people would have, personally), there is a threshold that you cross and you’ll enter overthinking territory.

Overthinking is pretty much a state of thinking in which you feel the need to look into every detail of something, or possible solutions and problems to a situation. It is usually linked to negative thought patterns, but overthinking can occur over mundane or positive things. However, there’s always a sense of anxiety and intense focus regardless of the subject of your thoughts.

Something interesting I noticed is that overthinking seems to occur most in people with mental illnesses that cause mood instability or anxiety. It also seems to occur in people who have no mental illness symptoms but had an upbringing with an overprotective, cautious parent.

It makes sense, considering overthinking is a defense mechanism. The mind protects itself from making a bad decision by stopping to analyze, but our brains sometimes get a bit too silly and go overboard, leading to the analysis process extending past what would be normal.

The frustrating thing about overthinking is it’s habitual. Yup, if you continuously overthink, your brain will resort to doing so whenever a problem arises. It leads to indecisiveness and frustration, and causes issues within relationships.

This is one of those habits that can sadly ruin your mental state. Not only will you lose trust in your judgements, you will miss opportunities, lose motivation and focus, and slow us down. Overthinking about whether or not you’re a good artist and if it’s worth it to continue learning because you’re not too sure you have what it takes won’t get you to where you set out to be.

You will constantly limit your actual capacity if you worry about every step and detail as you learn and grow. This is where it gets a little backwards: In order to grow you need to understand where you’re failing and how to improve, which requires you to look at the details and steps right? Of course. The difference is how you look at them and how quickly you come to the conclusion.

Are you getting anxious about “missing something” or feeling inferior because you aren’t getting it? Are you getting frustrated because there’s something not going right and going over a thousand possibilities for why it’s not? Are you feeling the urge to quit because no matter how you look at the situation you’re never going to be good enough? That’s overthinking.

A general analysis of faults and where you need to grow is a quick process. It’s from a place of neutrality and genuine curiosity, not one of insecurity and worry. The difference between me researching all the details of how to pull off an art project in a medium I’ve never explored and the person who is researching the details of a project because they think they’re missing something that’ll give them a key to an awesome outcome they’re not getting is the emotions and intent behind it.

Understanding what’s overthinking and what’s not is important if you want to actually address the issue. Once again, it comes down to intent and emotion. If you feel anxious or frustrated about the thoughts, it’s probably overthinking. If you’ve been cycling through the same thoughts to the point you’re missing real life things and losing sleep, you’re definitely overthinking.

Let me be honest here, this is definitely something I need to work on. I’m getting better at seeing the whirlpool before I swim into it, but sometimes I lose sight of my thoughts and only realize it after I reach the point of no escape. However, I’ll give you this neat little tip for what I do when I either catch wind early or find myself spiraling:

Interrupt it. Tell the thought to screw off and move on.

It’s literally that simple. It’s a hard thing to do, but it’s that straightforward. There’s no metaphor, no hidden message, no strings attached. You need to intervene somehow and get your mind off of whatever the hell is driving you down the overthinking road.

Here’s a list of effective interrupters. Try them out and see which fit, some work better in certain states than others and some won’t do a dang thing, but it’s up to you and a lot of trial and error to find the useful ones:

Physically leave the area you are overthinking in. Take a breather and be mindful of your new surroundings and ignore any thoughts

Have a conversation with someone about something unrelated to your thoughts

Feed yer brain! Pick up a book, do some research for school, learn something new and interesting about something you’re passionate about that’s unrelated to your current negative thoughts

Mindless distraction until you have calmed down. Watch a show, browse the internet, work on a project, do something until your brain figures out you don’t care about its negativity and buggers off

Confront the thoughts. Directly tell them they aren’t worth your energy and stop “replying”. Imagine it like shutting out someone shouting at you.

Set a timer for “worry time” for 3 minutes. You have exactly 3 minutes now to think through your problem and engage with the thoughts and feel the feelings, and once the timer buzzes you are done and moving forward

Jump straight into the thing you are overthinking about. This one’s effective specifically when you’re overthinking tasks, projects, activities, and social situations that have little true negative effect. This requires you to slam the brakes on thinking and dive in to doing

Turn the negatives into positives. Instead of saying “if I try this thing I’m going to fail hard” say “I want to try, and I will learn something by doing so.” Basically, rewrite the story to where you’re the hero, not the victim. Be the guy who drew that thing to learn to draw, not the guy who can’t do art to save their life.

Personally, I use some combination of these things (some more than others) and I have learned which to do when and which are most effective. It also helps to understand what things you tend to overthink about and what situations you need to be prepared for.

Sadly, I can’t tell you how to figure that one out because I am not you nor am I not omniscient enough to understand your inner workings, but I can guarantee with enough consistent practice and effort you can crush those dumb pathetic negative thoughts into dust.
