Just watch your breath

Whenever you have a terrible thought, switch your focus to your breath. The mind will try to distract you with thought activity, but just keep watching your breath. What happens when you do this? Can you try for 5 minutes?

Also, I started making video responses to your mental health questions as a way to better share advice with you all.

The last video I made was in response to @gigix2 who asked about how to deal with depression. If this information is relevant to you, you can check out the video here:

Otherwise, if you have any questions about mental health, please post in my group and I will try to make a video response specifically for you.

~ Thanks to all. Thanks for all. ~

Speaking of thanks for all, I was hoping we could acknowledge everyone who comments below. I know it seems like a small gesture, but many people here have never opened up to anyone before and being open and honest with strangers can be quite scary. So, if we could show our gratitude by giving their comment a simple reply or heart, I’m sure they would really appreciate your team support. What do you say?

Practice self-love

So much of our pain comes from the way we treat ourselves. We do whatever we can to prevent other people from saying bad things about us, but we don't spend too much time stopping ourselves from thinking bad things about ourselves. Who is ready to make a change and honor themselves with kindness, gentleness, and support?

New perspective

For my recovery from depression, it was vital I had someone with a different perspective. I've had about 9 therapists in my life, plenty of people who I got mental health advice from, and I have a mental health teacher who I listen to regularly in the evenings. New perspectives have been vital to my mental, physical, and spiritual growth. What about you? Do you have a mentor or friend who can help you with new perspectives?

Also, I started making video responses to your mental health questions as a way to better share advice with you all.

The last video I made was in response to @synthia who asked about how to overcome a lack of motivation when battling depression. If this information is relevant to you, you can check out the video here:

Let's help each other

I know that so many people here have tried to reach out, in a time of need, to family, friends, and professionals, hoping to get some kind of help, but instead were quickly told to simply get over it. We all know this doesn't work, and it's very painful when this is the response we get. Does anyone have an example they'd like to share of when this happened? More importantly, does anyone have an example of when they got help the RIGHT way? If so, what did you need help with, and what was the person's way of giving that help? Do you have any advice for how we can better show support? Or is there something you would like help with right now?

Also, I started making video responses to your mental health questions as a way to better share advice with you all.

The last video I made was in response to @soultalon who asked about how to use exposure therapy to overcome trauma and fear. If this information is relevant to you, you can check out the video here:

A gentle reminder

Are you guys remembering to be gentle to yourself? Please remember that life is full of challenges, it is full of hardships, and it is full of unfair events that we have no power over. Fortunately, you have survived 100% of all of these obstacles. Have you learned any valuable lessons from a particular hardship that you would like to share? Or are you perhaps dealing with a hardship right now that you would like help with? Let us know in the comment section so we can all support each other.

Also, I started making video responses to your questions in my group as a way to connect better with you. The last two videos I made, since the last time I posted, were to @shinedwn82 about panic attacks and @jennifer83swartz about getting stuck in negative thinking. If these challenges are relevant to you, you can check out my videos here:

Otherwise, if you have any questions about mental health, please post in my group and I will try to make a video response specifically for you.

What weight are you carrying?

Can anyone relate to holding weights in their life? Were you able to let it go?

Also, I've been trying to figure out how I can create a better connection with you all and help you better, so I'm delighted to tell you that I've started making video responses to your questions in my group.

The last video I made was for @jcw12

So, if you have any questions about mental health, please post in my group and I will respond. Depending on how many I get, I might not be able to make a video response to all of them, but I certainly will at least give you a written response. Thanks again for all the support and trust. It really means a lot to me. You can see the videos here:

Overcoming

When I come to this group, it's so obvious how much strength is here. There are so many posts from people asking for help, which is a huge sign of strength, and even more comments with people showing their support and sharing life lessons that they've learned along the way. Everyone here knows that this world is full of suffering. There's nothing anyone can do about that. But you all are evidence that this world is also full of overcoming that suffering. This is evidence that you are all full of strength and the power to change yourself for the better. How many people here believe in the power of themselves? Do you have any examples of how you've demonstrated this to yourself or others?

Also, I'm so grateful for all of you and would love to get to know you all better outside of The Mighty, so if you're on Instagram, feel free to reach out at:

~ Thanks to all. Thanks for all. ~

Feeling feelings

I know that many people who are here, are here because they feel things so deeply. This can be the pain they have for themselves, but it can also be pain on behalf of others, sometimes complete strangers. I understand that this pain can really wear you out and bring you down, but at times it can also be uplifting and you can be a light of this world. For those of you who experience this, especially when it seems like it's too much, what do you to do manage all your feelings?

Also, I'm so grateful for all of you and would love to get to know you all better outside of The Mighty, so if you're on Instagram, feel free to reach out at:

Not all endings are endings

When I look back, the most pain that has come in my life has been from people leaving. Sometimes they were leaving me specifically, and sometimes they were just leaving because life has a natural way of separating people from each other and no one is really to blame. But it still hurts. We've all had to deal with the painful truth of people leaving us in life for a number of reasons. It's so easy to take this loss personally sometimes, but remember that so many of these losses have opened the door to new and wonderful experiences. Has anyone experienced something wonderful as a result of something ending?

Also, I'm so grateful for all of you and would love to get to know you all better outside of The Mighty, so if you're on Instagram, feel free to reach out at:
