Coping Mechanisms 

Maybe I can help, because I don’t think that you really feel like you’re incapable of doing anything, I think you might be afraid that the way you do things is the wrong way. The thing is that you’re you and that comes with your very own way of doing things. Others might not like it because they have their own “right ways” of doing things, but you can either do things your way or you don’t do anything at all. Guess which of these two options is gonna make you feel capable and confident in yourself? And doing things your way comes with a big bonus: if your way of doing something is wrong, others will tell you and then you can learn to improve your ways with their advice :)

I don’t like when people say that to me. cause I KNOW that I shouldn’t be that stressed. but I can’t help it and I feel like something is wrong with me when I do get super stressed over “little” things.

@@ally_schmally It is great to share similar experiences with others, at least it lets you know you are not struggling alone and there are people who understand what you are going through. After I wrote this comment and school started, I tried to turn my constant stress to my benefit. I don't know if it is healthy of not but at least it gives me motivation to finish my schoolwork. Yes I break down crying over the smallest new task sometimes, but it doesn't get in the way of "i need to finish this so i can feel relieved" mindset. Like I said earlier, I am not sure if this is healthy or helpful but I wanted to show a way and also give an update on my situation. Keep in mind that what you are going through is valid and you don't need to instantly "get over it". Give time for yourself to determine the struggle and find ways to deal with them

i feel you man .

Turn to God, he will help you. Hope you doing good now

nope, you can change

Be that person to other people

Your answer speaks more to you, than your friends.

^^thank you. 100% true. There’s just as much to be said about her types as there is to be said about those friends she has.

@@JohnDoe-zu2cm having toxic people around you drags you down. Sometimes the correct thing to do is change them for your own well being

Are those really friends?

@@agneskweyu9292 I knew them for a long time, they honestly aren't anymore real friends anymore

I don’t think just trying to cope will help you. I think you need better friends.

Amen

you've been practicing the topic of your essay, you're halfway on finishing it!

The video illustrated other "healthy" coping options.

Dalwampo, Never compare your life or appearance with others espec ially relatives and friends. Reduce negative thoughts to feel better. Your breath is directly related to your mind [brain] causing negative thoughts-anxiety. For a relaxed life sit on a chair, back erect, eyes closed, be still and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for around 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight with your thoughts. Slowly they will reduce and relax the mind. No deep inhalation-exhalation or breath counting needed. Anytime of the day or night before sleep sit or lie down on your back and observe your breath. Be as still as possible as it reduces negative thoughts. Make this a lifetime daily habit to have a good life. Best wishes Shyaaam Sir. -Counsellor.

@@shyaaammeneen63 thank u so muchh

​@@dalwampohasnas.6266 Since many years I have made it a habit to observe my breath for a few minutes even when walking alone, reading. before sleep etc and feeling relaxed. It is very simple but a strong desire to transform from within is needed. Whenever you can be as still as possible as stillness reduces negative thoughts. Develop your mental muscles to handle life challenges. Best wishes. Shyaaam Sir-Counsellor.

It's ova.
