First: I've been taking care of myself by expressing love to others both with how they best feel it- and because of the active conversations about this, others have been expressing love to me in a way I best feel it. Even if it's clumsy, it's helping having these talks.
Second: I'm just getting thoughts out-
I didn't ever think entertaining negative thoughts as self harm before. It makes sense, the second it was said, it all clicked. But now im realizing i have engaged in self harm for a long, long time. Even when I'm doing better overall- I will crave those negative thoughts. I'm still doing it now, which is wild to realize I'm engaging in self harm. I often have found myself spiraling, bullying myself, being hard on myself, (both out loud or in thought) and I usually have a moment where I think I should challenge these thoughts. I know it would be better if I acknowledged the other sides of whatever story. But the comfort and familiarity of the negative thoughts create a strong desire to dive deeper into ideas and messages I know are hurting me.
I just- this clicked in a fast and scary way. I chose to watch this video because I thought- maybe there is a chance I am doing things to hurt myself. I'm not good at taking care of myself in other ways, im aware, but it's for different reasons that are outside of my control. The way I bully myself, the way I choose to indulge, and ignore the instinct to stop- its self harm.

8: 27 to be honest i never thought of that for a while. Still i have chronic disease like Eczema and lungs sensitivity. But i never take care of myself that much because. I help others a lot like genuinely throw myself to others just to help them. Because i didn’t got any care appreciated or loved when i was younger due to my Eczema. So when i help someone some of them thank me or others just don’t care. And since i’m too nice they mock me or even ask me some very rude and uncomfortable questions. That’s why i’m very brunt out and unfortunately i didn’t got the chance yet to vent in about it and cry. And this is very important thing to hear. A lot of us boys want someone to hug us or even talk to us and comfort us. If you saw someone from afar and want a hug try to ask that. You probably be friends with them or even comfort them at the same time. And girls. Guys are very emotionally sensitive in words. They saywe are strong and words don’t affect us they either lie about it or numbed because when you say something so emotionally harmful to him he will remember it a lot and even affect his day-to-day life. In the end try to be nice and both of you need each other. Girls need men to feel strong and safe and men need girls to feel emotionally stable secure and happy. Stay hydrated and hope these things help even a bit. Have a wonderful day like you

4: 33 and vent in with your emotional struggles works wonders. I understand very well that venting is not easy. I actually felt like that before trying it because. You can’t be vulnerable to anyone. And also the amount of trust and love you need to have in both relationships is very important. Like for example. I got manipulated by venting. I felt comfortable enough with a past-friend and asked him to vent in. He did help me and then the next day he told his much closer friends everything i vented about with him. That broke my trust with him so badly that i genuinely cannot even forget that. After that i got the courage to try again with another person it was my foster sister she did help me and genuinely helped me. After that venting i started to encourage people to vent in with others or even me. I studied emotions and a bit of psychology to help others. And it worked so much. So if you see this then i do really want you to vent in. It’s hard it’s very scary but if you love and trust the person you will vent in without even realizing that. Thank you so much Psych2go for helping me learning some human psychology. Stay hydrated everyone and hope this helps a lot

1: 52 today, I just realized something: I am so nervous about my impression I think about every action; am I chewing too loud What if they think I just cave and look at my phone all day And it makes me so insecure and stressed, I genuinely stop eating. For some context, I’ve been on vacation in California at a friend’s place, and I’ve been trying so hard to make a good first impression, it made them concerned. Want some cereal No thanks, thank you for offering, Would you like a snack I’m fine, thank you. Are a few real examples. And now, as if writing this, I’m now eating a ton. TLDR, I starve myself because I want a good impression, and that leads to a loss of appetite for food, and then I make up for the starvation by eating at the end of the day.
Edit: at least the strategy worked xD (and no, I don’t have an ED, depression, etc. I have really bad anxiety though and I am afraid of making mistakes T_T)
Edit 2: also please don’t be concerned! This is a temporary thing that doesn’t affect my daily life and I was just pointing out something I noticed during my vacation so far.

Hey guys, i know its kinda out of topic but yeah.
(this is just my guess, do not take this too serious until i got an approval from Psych2go)
Things thats 'manipulating' you:
1. When you trying to do something, you feel Lazy
-Like when you trying to do something big like I wanna be an artist! I don't care about criticism that doesn't makes any sense! Im going to start today! But when you actually starting, the confidence got washed off by Lazyness And Yeah, im gonna to that later. Yeah, maybe, its not lazyness when that happens like a cycle, maybe something deeper.
2. Negative thoughts pops up (or you could say overthinking) frequently
-For example, when you about to post something on internet but you stop because the negative thoughts starts spamming in your mind like 'What if they doesn't like it! ' 'What if they will cyber bullying you because its bad! ' And you didn't want to post it anymore. If that happens a lot of times, That can't be right, right
Im not the one who feels like this. RIGHT
(I'll keep y'all updated)

1)Binge eating
Sometimes I have stress eating
But most the time I just don’t eat
I don’t know why sometimes i feel hungry but same time I don’t feel hungry
2)Entertaining your negative thought
This normal for me it hurt but to me it just the truth that I useless
I used this to be kind to other
It always hurt me sometimes a lot but probably because I too weak
3)Overworking and burnout

I usually self sabotage as a way of self harm, locking myself in my room all day to work on projects, often forgetting abt the world outside and abt taking care of myself; it's been a few years I don't shower regularly because I constantly feel like not enough and that I need to push myself thru my limits to deserve a little recognition. Smth that's helping me escape those habits is starting small: I tend to play simulation games during breaks to unwind because it's easier than just sitting to watch TV or read a story; I have this constant NEED to feel productive so, even when I'm supposed to rest, I pick videogames because it feels more productive than just sit and stare at a screen or a book, it does feel more active to control a character. I've been playing a lot of TS4 lately and even my shrink noticed that I'm more enthusiastic and energetic Someday I hope to be able to get back to enjoy my favorite pieces of media, but am still taking it one step at a time

hey psych2go, been watching your content for awhile and i really need help with whats going on rn. I have a friend who i was pretty cool with online and we eventually became good friends and started playing together and chatting in online games. However lately, i feel envious of them, context they have alot of mental problems and always run to me for help (i think its fine though since its not as serious as it was and hes healing. But whenever they do something good in a game or play games, i feel envious and i feel like i need to be better then them and i feel just really weak whenever they succeed and i dont. I have been trying to fix this problem by trying to be more positive and not let these negative emotions sink in but its really hard for me to be around them with my current view on them. We had some up and downs but i do wanna keep this friendship going but i dont know how do i fix my hatred or envy towards him, any advice would help!

I do the first three a lot and sometimes instead of overworking myself I just do nothing, I sit around, wondering if I can eat simply because the effort of shoveling food into my mouth is even worth the reward of the nutrition and taste, however, with the binge-eating one, although I do it all the time, I always make sure to savor it, I am a total food snob (I know this is not a good thing but I try to fix my habits, I love food and it is a big part of what keeps me going (again, I know this is really unhealthy but I gotta do what I gotta do to stay motivated in life yk, luckily I enjoy working out some, though when stressed/depressed unless I am going into the burnout working mode I often find that doing anything other than walking somewhere I need to be can be something I don't like to do, if anyone has any tips on how I can fix these problems I am happy to try them, so please, do help me.

3: 00 being compared with someone is a very bad way to motivate yourself (from my perspective) like for example. I have Eczema and lungs sensitivity meaning that i cannot use any perfumes or even any strong smells. It sucks so much but i always saynot good things are good for your health because i can’t compare myself to someone saying likehe can use perfumes and i can’t because i’m weak that’s very harmful for your mental and emotional health. What I’m saying here is that. Don’t compare yourself to others. Try to be the best version of yourself like in eating drinking playing learning etc. I believe you can be the best person in yourself not on others that create envy and hatred and jealousy. And these emotions are very harmful. I believe you can change for the best version you ever want to yourself. Hope you achieve your goals and stay hydrated. Have a wonderful day

I never know what to say to people when talking about feelings, whether it's online with anonymity, or in person with friends and family, but I compare almost everything I do to other people. If I have a bad day, I always think about others who have it worse and then force myself to suck it up since everything that I go through can be so much worse. I feel like I'm in denial about many things involving my mental state always saying I'm doing fine, even if I think of that one final solution, I just think about why I'd do this even though there are others experiencing worse and still finding a reason to keep pushing through whatever is thrown at them. I'm always in a state of blankness until I'm with friends or family doing some fun activity, with it going away almost immediately after we're done. I apologize if I sound entitled and for going on a tangent.

I'm a game dev (kind of I guess) and I did happen to have a lot of habit putting myself down, simply because I've seen the work of my dev and animator friends, and thought I see this being successful, but not me or I'm never improving because I'm not doing what I love often which led me to overworking and self-deprication, which I also play off as It's not something important as a job
Lately, as someone mentally strong, I came to senses and started still being productive but in less stressing ways, like writing lore or script instead, and discussion with friends. They're so sweet (it hesitates me using that word, we're all guys) and it makes me happy. I also dont envy anymore because my friends notice my great and impressive work. I really hope it is.
Thanks Psych!

I tend to over eat entertaining negative thoughts and over work myself. How I have been coping is taking care of 2 stray dogs. I just feel bad for them. It makes it a little better then my depression. I start my second job soon it would be a 60 hour work week for me but I can't trust anyone due to trauma and depression. I thought I found someone but found out a coworker of mine filled her head with lies and she wasn't interested after. She also got out of the school we worked at by the same person. She wants now to be with me but I can't she has a boyfriend and I can't be a home wrecker. I saw what that does to people. I have always been a loner. I will finally get insurance so I can talk to a therapist because I never see the light

I’ve always struggled with #4. I was clear of it for a while, but my disability (a seizure disorder) seriously shook my confidence when it cost me my job. It feels like physical favors are my highest skill, since I can’t seem to hold down a career. More than that, I miss how _curious_ people are about personal details when they’re driven by thirst. I just want to be known, understood.
I’ve made a lot of progress with this since I was a kid. I know that I _should_ value myself intrinsically, and I’m trying to. I’ve stopped letting people actively mistreat me. But I miss feelingcapable. If I can’t find that at a job, I start thinking about finding it in the sheets again.

3: 39 happened to me in 2020.
After a very unexpected breakup, I leaned towards work and soon got burned out. The fact that it was in the middle of pandemic and we were locked down to WFH didn't help: (
As in 'The Devil wears Prada', breakup is a sure sign of an upcoming promotion
Its been 5 years and I completely avoid both work and relationships ever since.
They say you should develop various areas of life and not put all eggs in one place so that if some things go wrong you have a support system.
But they also say if something is wrong its not the time to indulge into things that work, its the time to work on the things that fail.
I'm confused: (

I feel like another thing about not eating when stressed is that eventually, your body doesn’t have enough calories to burn to keep you awake. My main way of dealing with things was to distract myself from whatever was bothering me, but I would retreat so far that I would forget to eat, sometimes going a whole week without having a real meal. I was treating my oversleeping (up to 17 hours a day from time to time) as a separate issue. It wasn’t until recently that I realized the two were related, which sucked cause for years I would oversleep, feel bad for dropping the ball, distract myself, then oversleep again. I nearly died.

3: 34 you said about truth but its truth we are not the best but noone this is as an actual counter, i cant understand how to celebrate little things help not just becose is small but becose you have to celebrate alone (its the most probable scenario)

I don't understand. How does reaching out for help make me strong I feel so weak and broken, and embarrassed or needing help. I know I need help and I'm trying to get it, but I feel so needy and pathetic for asking for help. I've been denying the fact that I use alcohol to escape. I drink under the impression that I'm in a good mood, therefore it can't hurt me. But I end up feeling awful after. Not from the hangover, but because I know, deep down, that I was internally struggling and was masking it with happiness. I feel so ashamed of myself and so, so lost.

Is it possible to not necessarily self harm but distract yourself an unhealthy amount with laughter I know that I do This sometimes and a few of my friends do this. Instead of facing problems we run to laughter, jokes, or non serious things to distract us. I know sometimes it's good to do this and unwind before facing problems, but is it possible to do this too much Could you possibly make a video on this topic or if you already have, could you recommend which video covers this question Anyway Thank you for reading my question and have a great day
