I want to ask for help but like
So wonderful how i was able to beat my Diabetes disease with the help of Dr Igudia on YouTube herbal medicine. God will reward you Doc!
Thank you whoever you all are. Also thank you Marie for being supportive/noticing of this (coworker surprisingly). Stigma is a thing for just about anyone. I have made a lot of questionable choices hoping it would end or thinking it would not matter. So much opportunity lost. I think though this could help a bit surprisingly. Well this and some sort of mental health therapy(?), counseling(?). I hear the wait times are bad for military but I will try though. I may watch a few more videos but I think I needed this to move on a bit. Whoever made this thank you. I think it is just about perfect. I hope you are doing ok. I searched for it at a low and decided to watch it anyway a week later during a more minor low. I am tired of being tired. Maybe there can be more as sappy as that sounds?
No words, just.. thank you.
But what if-
It depends-
Its just not-
I can't because-
its different-
What if I made it worse-
These are all words that pop up in our head, don't listen to them.
I outwardly asked for help from some of my classmates who were also my friends but I was just shrugged off. Then I tried to tell my dad a few years ago that I did need help and I'm not exaggerating, but no such luck. Then I asked my mom months ago the same thing, still no luck. I really don't know what to do.
we have a councelor
I have all the symptoms, and it’s getting in the way of my chores and daily task, sleep everything! I’m young, very young, TOO young. And seeking help is not an option for me, my mom, she tries so hard and I can’t do that to her. is there anything I can do to help myself? Does it ever go away on its own?
I been beaten,broken, alone, scared, for years and always blamed for everything where I got no fight left for it now I don't know how to open up to ppl at all this me trying to see how to ask
I would totally ignore a physical problem lol I've ignored a broken foot! I'm also afraid of doctors so it's ever harder to ask for help. I don't think anything positive will ever happen. I can't handle this anymore
I can’t. I can’t get the courage. I said I’d ask 2 years ago..
all my friends left, they couldn’t deal with my pathetic madness. I don’t blame them.. I’m an ass.
Everyone has stuff that they are dealing with, the last thing I want to do is drag them down with my problems.
i have a friend with every single symptom listed
my friend no longer enjoys anything he used to and is an unemployed dellusional closet case who noone wants to go near because he drians people of thier energy. he said all his family & friends are part of some type of online social network that he was never told about or invited to. he thinks thats why he never hears from anyone or gets an invite to any sort of party / get together. he said hes too embarrased & scared to call or invite people over because hes always rejected and therefore wants to avoid more pain& suffering. now hes trying to learn a foreign language but he can barely read in english . what a phsycopath he is. (i know hes crazy and evil too becuase he likes rap & he lifts weights & i think did steriods in the past) anyways, maybe i can try to help him with this video, i tried 11 times in the past 12 months, still not registering.
I needa do something I know I'm not gonna be making it out of 18
what if you think you don't deserve help? if you think you will just create problems for the person you're venting with? they already have their things to worry about, why should I add to those, mine too ??
Hello I’m a year 8 for context and I don’t know how to ask for help I’ve started a new school recently and I don’t know what to do everyone is so different I’ve always felt different and between secondary and primary I’ve moved school 4 times and whether it be my breathing issues from birth the high chance of either ADHD or autism in my genetics I have always had a hard time fitting in and whenever I do I move or something goes wrong I feel like I can’t talk to anyone and I have a counsellor but I can’t pluck up the courage to speak to her either because my mother said she would have given a kidney for me to go to this school I’ve been told I’m smart kind and the likes but I don’t feel like it I feel worthless everything I say is met with humiliation and shame I’m beginning to think I’m a waster of space I take up recourses and food other people deserve use electrify that could be going to hospitals and like I can never say these thing in person that I can’t think these things I’m so envious of my brother or sister my dad died when I was 7 and a friend of his told me I was the man of the house and to take care of my family and ever since I’ve hidden feeling even when being bullied and belittled and a previous school but other people have it so much worse and my siblings don’t know what I went through and my brother has autism everything is 10 times as bad for him but he can express himself when he is sad he tells people and receives constant affection I am not treated badly in the slightest I live in a lovely place, a gorgeous house and have everything I could ever want recently I I thought I lost my phone and that lack of connection to my counsellor my family and my only friend was horrible I am on the edge of collapsing but if I do my whole world will come crashing down on top of me why can’t I be like other people I’m the oldest sibling I have to be better but I’ll never be and that terrifies me I get angry for little reasons and feel like I might be depressed but what if I’m going through a phase what if all those people who know they are depressed look down on me I fear being a let down and not good enough for everyone more than anything I’m not religious and lazy I don’t have friends who wouldn’t understand.
Please what should I do
can anyone pls tell me how to deal with abusive siblings, i just cannot take it anymore,😭😭😭😭
This video should be on the top page of YouTube. It's so unbelievably helpful! It lays down how stigmas affect mental health and why people who need help and know it's in their best interest to seek help feel lost. I genuinely wish expressing our thoughts and struggles was straightforward and there was a one-size-fits-all cure for suicidality…
I don’t need HOW, I need sites that I can ask for help on. I have no family nor friends, & therapists are not effective.
dont even hsve sny strengtj lrft
Sadly you can ask for help and nobody listens including the ppl who are supposed to.
Verbaly and mentaly abused as a child raped at 1o yrs old telling your mother her not doing a dam thing about it then thrown to the curb the maternal connection was killed at 10 now im a master of cluster crap that cannkt be shaked off this ill never be the same again and i have to drive all the way to U of iowa to get good help insyead of being jailed in a county psych ward
Its good to see that I'm not alone
I’m a kid, I can’t get a therapist I wish it was easier. This did help Thankyou
Every time I've gone for medical help thru my 64 years..they have made me permanently worse both physically and mentally.
Thus asking for help is something i can No longer do😭😭😭
You forgot financial stress. That prevents me From seeking help. You need money
U need to lisdon
3:04 stigma😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
I don’t know what to do. I give up bro
Help yourself
America is the land of selfishness and invalidation
You are an expert in your own story
Do not give your power away
If someone continuously lambasts you with certain words almost labelling you does that mean it’s helpful?? Or does it mean the person has a grudge against you for being yourself maybe I need to think hard about my loyalty to certain people!
I just don't know who to ask for help tbh. I'm a big mental health advocate and I'll fight for anyone who needs help, I just don't know what resources I have. I don't have health insurance, I don't have money.
My best friend is literally genuinely crazy and when i tell you ive gone through everything to help her i mean it i appreciate her like hell but you gotta help yourself while I'm helping you as well bro so I'm sending this video to her, this is my make or break and if it breaks I'm genuinely going to be sad knowing i failed her
People are accusing me of being a cr addict when im not i never did hard drugs in my life i need help and support. They are harassing me i need arny that can help me battle this people and get them to leave me alone
مفيد جدا
لكم الشكر على التوضيحات
I trying i really am…
Thank you, this video really helped me when i was struggling today. 🙂
