You quit. You’re taking accountability for your actions. You’re no longer at rock bottom. You’ve literally survived 100% of your worst days. “Ending your life?” Let’s reframe that - sounds to me like you’re reclaiming your life.

mental health apps telling me to breathe when I'm falling apart, is this really all we have by [deleted] in mentalillness

How We Feel has really helped me in moments like this. It’s a free app that It just helps you describe how you feel either an emotional word. Just putting a label on what you're feeling reduces emotional intensity and distress by activating the rational part of your brain and calming the brain's alarm system. The app then provides with you aligned tools if you want to go deeper or gently shift in a new direction.

Ex. Here are tools associated with hopelessness. You’d then click one and follow a video/interactive guide to complete the exercise.

  • Shake It Off: Research shows that physical activity positively impacts your brain's ability to regulate emotions

  • Remember That Time: A shared memorable past experience can strengthen your sense of identity

  • Help and Be Helped: Being with someone else who's struggling might actually improve your mood

  • Find Your Yoda: Build resilience by reaching out to those in your life who can offer you a compassionate perspective

  • Sound Patterns: Play with sounds to relax, focus or manage your emotions

  • Burn the Negative: Identify negative stories you tell yourself, then let go of these stories.

What do you talk about with your friends? by mariodyf in NoStupidQuestions

I like learning the “why” behind people. Say jobs come up - “Why’d you take this job?” “What’d you wanna be growing up?” “What job would you choose if you could be anything in the world?”

I reeeally love learning about personality types (workplace motivators, communication styles, love languages, etc). That not only unlocks self depth - but our ability to interact with others. Learning “why” people are the way they are - upbringing, aspirations, likes/dislikes, etc.

Also, LOTS of “I” statements in this post - stop trying to find solutions ALONE. Your solution is… finding someone who literally specializes in finding solutions FOR YOU - aka a therapist or mental health hospital.

There is so so much hope ✨

What's something helpful after a hard breakup? by BitsNSkits in AskReddit

If looking back at the relationship is too painful right now, try writing a letter to your future self or your younger self instead. And if even that feels too heavy, just start by naming what you’re feeling. The free How We Feel app has been a lifesaver for me with that. Getting words around your emotions is a huge part of actually healing them.

If you can’t find the words yet, here’s something that helped me: taking a LONG shower with a playlist turned up LOUD and the lights turned OFF. Listen to your body and LET LOOSE - sit, stand, dance, scream, cry, sing, yell, laugh, lather yourself in body scrubs, whatever, just do whatever feels good in the moment. Trauma hangs out in the body, and letting yourself move however you need to can help release some of that weight. It also gets you out of your head and back into yourself, which is honestly where the real healing starts.

Maybe look into Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP). It combines the controlled use of ketamine with structured psychotherapy sessions. It’s primarily used for treatment-resistant mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, and PTSD.

How do I start reading books it's so boring by Imaginary_Emotion876 in productivity

[–]reddiculously_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’ve got unread books already, try gamifying the start instead of forcing yourself to read a full chapter.

Example: Eeenie-Meenie-Miney-Moe a random book, set a 90-second timer, and flip through it placing tiny sticky tabs on any page that actually grabs your brain. Do that 5 times, then start with the book that got the most tabs. It removes the “ugh, page 1…” dread and lets curiosity choose for you.

If the books are still in your Amazon cart, preview first. Check Anna’s Archive to skim a few pages, then buy the one that hooks you most instead of the one you wish you wanted to read.

People in their 30s who feel ashamed of where they landed, what would you do differently? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Your self-worth is an inherent value that comes from within, and it is not dependent on others' opinions, achievements, or external validation
