Compulsions can be physical or mental. Compulsions are anything that is done to immediately remove the anxiety, doubt, physical discomfort, or uncertainty that comes from obsessions.
The only way to break the obsessive-compulsive cycle is to practice uncertainty and discomfort.
When you have the urge to do a compulsion, you can thank it for trying to keep you safe, but let it know that's not necessary. You're not in danger

Knowing what to say is one of the hardest pats of supporting a suicidal friend. While you may not be a trained healthcare professional, you can still provide support to your friends suffering from suicidal thoughts. As always, encourage suicidal friends to seek professional support and make sure to look out for your own mental health during this period.

Triggers serve as messengers and protectors. They let you know where you may need to set a boundary or where you may need to continue to heal. They are physical reminders from your body to keep you safe when confronted with extreme stress and reminders of trauma. You are not broken if you have triggers. Listen to your body and the message your triggers are telling you. Give yourself the same love and compassion you give to others.

Back with not only a mental health update but to acknowledge May being Mental Health Awareness month. Mental health is one of the most stigmatized health issues that humans face across the world. The only way to destigmatize anything is to talk about it.
This month is important so people feel heard and not alone and to spark important conversations. So everyone can learn more about mental health. People need to know about how to help in certain situations.

Now that it has been a year since the pandemic, many stories are being shared across platforms of the effects of Covid-19. I recently read an article that I think summed up a lot of the effects of Covid-19. This article can be found on the Pew Research Center site (www.pewresearch.org). The article is entitled, “In Their Own Words, Americans Describe the Struggles and Silver Linings of the Covid-10.” https://www.pewresearch.org/2021/03/05/in-their-own-words-americans-describe-the-struggles-and-silver-linings-of-the-covid-19-pandemic/

When we have negative experiences in life it is likely we develop protective behaviors to shield us from potential threats. While protective behaviors can be good in a toxic environment, they can be self-sabotaging outside of it. They can hold you back from amazing opportunities and positive outcomes.
Your needs, values and mental health matters. Please take care of yourself. You are so deserving of so much more than your mind is telling you.

If we pay enough attention to the ones around us, we can sometimes tell if they’re not doing so well. The signs of depression are not always visible so it helps to be extremely kind to others as you can never tell the depth of a person’s pain by what you see on the outside. A smile can in fact hide a world of pain. Here are a few signs that might be of benefit to see if someone’s depression is setting in.

Some people are just not good for our well being. The word toxic is more than a description it’s the truth. The wrong people are like a poison you inject in your body. It spreads and affects every part of your life, your mind, your body, and your soul. It is a poison that can kill you slowly and painfully.

True self-care involves balancing two seemingly opposing ideals- radical self-compassion and accountability. To fully take care of yourself is to understand that the nature of life is to shift. When you give up being perfect, you allow yourself the grace to change, grow and start again as many times as you need. Sometimes self-care looks like staying home, minding your business, telling people no, and doing you.
Self-care is more than manis, pedis, and massages. It is also working on your habits, mindset, and healing your past. It is removing toxic thoughts, people, and places in your life. It is living intentionally, purposefully, and consciously.

There will never be the perfect time to tell someone about your mental health struggles. If you want to disclose your mental health struggles while you’re actively struggling, speak to the most trustworthy, supportive person in your life. This person can help you speak to others and get help if you wish. If you’re not actively struggling, the time to tell others about your mental health struggles can depend on when you’re doing well, when it serves a purpose, and/or when you’re ready.

Previously discussed this topic but wanted to touch on this again and more in depth as I am hearing of more and more suicides and suicide attempts. The more we normalize and talk about mental health the more we dead the stigma and have a chance at saving more people from suicide.

Some people with mental health conditions experience relief and hope when they get a diagnosis. Others may feel like a diagnosis is "just words." You may even feel several competing emotions at the same time—relief at having a name for the things bothering you, but fear and anger that you have an illness. You may feel that the diagnosis you received carries negative or damaging perceptions and may not want to accept it, but getting a diagnosis is a useful step in receiving effective treatment and improving your quality of life.

- Communicate. Initiate group chats with friends and family to decrease loneliness. 2. Self Care. Perfect opportunity to indulge in self care. Do what brings you happiness and peace. 3. Acknowledge your emotions. Be aware of your emotions and do not ignore them. There is a lot going on in the world so let the emotions flow, good or bad. 4. Be productive. While your regular routine is being interrupted still find ways to be productive. 5. Laugh. Find humor in the day to day despite the seriousness of things going on around us. 6. Limit access to media. While it is good to be informed. Be mindful not to overload yourself with news that alters your mood. 7. Get fresh air as much as possible. Even if you are only able to stand/sit in your backyard. 8. Help others. Remember we are all in this together and the smallest gesture goes a long way.

Goal setting is much more than simply saying you wan to do something or make something happen. Unless you clearly define exactly what you want and understand why you want it in the first place, your offs of success are considerably reduced. By following these rules of goal setting you can set goals with confidence and enjoy the satisfaction that comes along with knowing you achieved what you set out to do.

Often those who suffer from mental illness, suffer alone and in silence. This is largely due to sometimes not being able to explain what is going on them. It is not that they do not want to but they do not know how to or it is simply unexplainable. To those of you in the dark place of depression know that you are not alone and there is hope.
