A lot of these apply to me but honestly I don't do the opposite of them BECAUSE they're too overwhelming or stressful for me. For junk food, I struggle with it because im incredibly picky and my likes are becoming smaller and smaller and i need to go on a diet for physical health reasons but its hard for me to because most if not all of the thigns I like, I should not eat. For not cleaning my room, it's way too stressful for me to do and requires mkre motivation than I have, so I usually wait for someone to do it for me. For binge-watching, I never have anything to do during the day and hate going out so im just inside all day, and all my family can think to do is just use another screen that isn't a phone. Bad posture is just bc thays more comfortable for me, but mostly bc i have female anatomy. I can't rlly retrain my posture bc it hurts my back more to stay the way im supposed to sit than to sit in a bad posture. For water, I simply forget. I also can't consume ANYTHING when I'm at school. I just cant. Not because my school says so but it's mostly anxiety and also i physically can't bring myself to in that environment. Skipping meals is more often than not because I feel sick, or bc I simply just don't feel hungry. I also often skip lunch bc i don't see it as important and bc i also forget and feel sick very easily. Overthinking is something I can't control, though. It just happens.

Just wanted to point out, correlation =/= causation. If a study shows a correlation between binge watching and depression for instance, it doesn't necessarily imply binge watching is a causational factor toward depression. In fact, it can also be the other way around. Myself for instance, I have been diagnosed with depression, and am also an avid binge-watcher (It's 3am and I swore I'd go to sleep 2 hours ago. whoops. But to me, binge-watching is more of a coping mechanism to deal with my poor mental health. To keep occupied and distracted from painful thoughts. If I try to go to sleep while I'm not really tired, unpleasant thoughts run rampant, and cause such intense panic and distress that I can no longer sleep at all, so I end up forcefully keeping occupied until I pretty much pass out of exhaustion. Naturally, making sure you adopt healthy behaviours is always the good way to go, and stuff such as this is definitely unhealthy. However I wanted to point out that these behaviours do not necessarily precede depression, but may be caused by depression instead.

I don't drink caffeine since my mother always tells me it'll affect my brain and make me fail academically. I skip meals, I overthink, and I sometimes don't drink water at all.
I don't like assuming that I'm depressed or the mentally bad things that affect most teenagers since I'm still a kid(I was told to not think like I have depression or such because I'm still a kid or I'm too young, but I do know that I have anxiety and paranoia.
I don't like thinking that I'm depressed, sleep deprived, stressed, or suicidal cause some people might think that I'm just assuming things and that I shouldn't be taking these mental illnesses as a joke
I've been called an assumer many times before and it makes me not like myself. Sometimes I just accept the fact that people badmouth because of a 'good reason', being compared is something daily that happens in our household and the things that are 'normal' here are apparently not normal to any other household and that makes me feel self-conscious

I'm guilty of everything here except the 1st one. I'll be honest with ya, not much a 13 year old can do about some of these. Fore example, I can't eat healthier because what my dad serves is what dinner is. Granted, he does cook good food like spaghetti and such a lot, but we often don't have the money for ingredients for these things, so we're forced by poverty and such to eat junk food. On the other hand, it's also hard to change set and standard routines. For example, I don't drink enough water throughout the day due to my hectic schedule and forgetfulness, but I've been trying to remember a water bottle everyday, and so far it's 20% effective per week. Other things I already don't do or do in a good way. Last example, I go to my mom's house every other weekend, and that's the only time I have coffee. Even then, I only usually have 2 cups max. after that it's milk or water, though usually milk.
If you read this, congrats! You care for a stranger's well-being report.

Ovethinking is what I do the most, every Tuesday I hav piano lessons. And my teacher doesnt really get down into things yknow? She just skips to the tests and quizzes and questions and I get low grades thinking I dont pay attention enough. I cry and get mad at myself for something that isnt even my fault. (Probably because Im really sensitive) Because she doesnt really teach anything except the the notes. Its been over 3 weeks and thats all shes been talking about. Should I change my class and switch it to advance drawing? I dont want to because I feel like it will make my original teacher feel bad. But I have a piano and I can learn by myself at home with tutorials online.
Plus I really want to get better at drawing and impress everyone. What should I do?

I woke up a few days ago and couldn't stand up or put any weight on my legs. I had extreme affects where I could only think a couple words at a time and then only for not even a second and then my mind would go completely blank. I panicked big time and thought I must have brain cancer and I'm about to pass away. Went to the ER and found out I had dehydration that was causing all this. I was so glad cause I thought for sure I was a gonner. yes keep hydrated! I'm still not feeling good almost a week later.

A lot of these symptoms make me ask the age old question Which came first, the chicken or the egg? I have no doubt there is a high correlation between having stress/anxiety and these behaviors at the same time, but I can't help but wonder which is the symptom and which is the cause. Also, to answer your question in bingewatching, I've been enjoying HunterxHunter lately. I managed to get my mom hooked on it and we've been watching a few episodes a day of it together.

If you are going through a hard phase, keep on going, cuz we must focus to see the light, these challenges are here to teach us important lessons. And as a popular saying goes, life throws hardest challenges at toughest and strongest people. Love yourself and embrace yourself. Stand in front of the mirror, and give yourself a high five with the most beautiful smile.

Trying to balance not being rigid with trying to benefit my mental health to the best of my active ability is such a fun balancing act it will without the ACT. As far as what anime I'm enjoying watching right now it's either Castlevania or is it wrong to pick up girls in a dungeon. First one's on Netflix the others on Hulu for those of the curious persuasion.

I feel like cleaning your room and eating junk food are more results of rather than contributors to mental health issues. My room isn't clean because of my depression and ADHD. I eat junk food because it's easy and requires less effort (less spoons) and I only have a couple spoons a day. Stuff like that.

although most of the stuff in the video is true the major problem is that most of the causes of bad mental health listed in this video are actually symptoms of mental health disorders and learning disorders such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, etc.

I don't drink coffee, but I'm guilty of everything else. Thank you so much! My ADHD has been flipping out lately, which has in turn caused me stress and made me more of an introvert. Thank you so much again this will really help

nothing can give you depression, adhd or any other disorder. what you're talking about is being a bit sad and, by using mental health terms, you minimize the experience of people who struggle.
