Why Your Mental Health Feels Worse… Right Before You Heal



Why Your Mental Health Feels Worse… Right Before You Heal

Starting a new year often makes us think about change, healing, and becoming a better version of ourselves. But if you’ve ever tried to heal and ended up feeling worse instead… you’re not alone.

In today’s video, we explore why healing can feel harder before it starts to feel better. When you begin to face emotions you’ve been avoiding, set boundaries, or break old patterns, discomfort is often part of the process — even though it can feel confusing or discouraging.

    I feel personally attacked with this one, in a good way. I'm grateful you replied to all of my comments these past two months. I was able to sort out my healing on my own with a video. But its nice to know I everything I figured was correct

    I know this comment section isn’t for stories, but if mine can help someone, then I’ll gladly share. If you need me to take it down I will

    This was the worst part of trying to get better, and unfortunately, no matter how much people tell you how this works. You will always feel horrible when it happens. I was having an amazing weekend, I had fun playing games with my sisters family. Then I next day, I had this horrible sense of dread and I made my self sick. When I got home from work, I didn’t see a point, after getting yelled at by my boss for leaving early. I didn’t see a point. I took a lot of melatonin and 8 tablets of ibuprofen. I wanted to die. After waking up, I felt ashamed and annoyed it didn’t work. I looked at my phone and saw a response to a question I put on a sever. They asked me how I was feeling and I crumbled. I told them everything. A complete stranger. But I found some solace in that. Him not knowing me made me feel no pressure, and made it easier to not feel judged. So I know it’s not a solution, but hop into a self-help discord and try to talk to someone. It helps more than you know to let it all out

    I'm missing thevery first step, having things together in the first place. Even if that's solved, this doesn't mean life will turn pink. Life will always inevitably hurt, no matter you previous changes and it won't be worth it.

    EXACTLY WHEN I NEEDED THIS
    sorry, I'm usually more composed in my comments; thank you so much for making this video, you and your team make greatly informative and relatable content which quite frankly helps me see myself with less of my distorted thinking, which is a truly kind act of love for a fellow human being. I appreciate your channel.

    Feeling worse before feeling better is often just your heart and mind adjusting to change. Facing old emotions, setting boundaries, and breaking patterns takes courage, and every bit of discomfort is part of your growth. You’re not failing, you’re moving forward.

    Ok guys tell me something it's been 4 months of my breakup and my relationship was of 5 years and I was actually lazy and got pretty distant with my ex but we both loved each other really much and in our brk up phase I was hoping that we would get back together(not more than a week) but whenever we talked she always talked about another guy that he is mature good and I wanted to talk about our relationship but she always talked about that other guy and it pissed me off and I became distant then one day she stopped talking to me and then I started to force conversations and begged really hard and I was like on my knees begging and she blamed me for so many things and I couldn't even dodge it I was really desperate but I loved her like for almost 10 years and then on her birthday I saw her with that guy alone and knew that it was actually over and started to move on but this time she came back trying to be friends but I denied and then on my birthday she wished me on text said she loved me and told me we could have worked it out somehow but she spoiled it she said this and she wanted to see me came to me and told it was our last meeting and we both got physical and then after that day she ghosted me again and started blaming me for everything and not treating her right and again I reached out to her somehow told her to trust me and us maybe we could work it out and then she said she loves me but also the other guy and wants a relationship with him portrays me as a villain and actually I wasn't the best ik but I also did so much for her and she doesn't see that idk why… Can anyone give me their raw pov I don't understand what's going on

    Mental health is something that declines slowly and silently, most of the time without you realising it. Mental health takes daily maintenance. The thing is with the subconscious, it represses things that you couldn't deal with in the past which is where your trauma manifests. When your subconscious believes you are in a better position, it will reveal your pain hoping that you will heal from it. This is where true healing begins. Don't ignore your mental health. Always heal your pain. Repressing further leads to more severe trauma in the future. Your mind doesn't do anything for no reason. You are worthy of a healthy mind. You are unique and valuable. Your mental health matters ❤❤❤

    I wrote to the girl i was planning to write to catch up some time, we he had a talk, but she stopped answering me suddenly. And it felt bad, becouse i didnt why even would she do that. So i asked her if she could tell me that should i just stop texting her to not ummm think about it(forgot the accurate world in english). And she didnt bother to asnwer. So i just asked why doesnt she wanna talk with me, and she did not answer either….. Am i coocked ?

    Thank you for this! I’ve had my share of crashouts after feeling pretty good and about where I was mentally, particularly on days where I’m at a social event and felt I carried myself well among folks at said event, I’d go home and just suddenly crash. I do have an easier time bouncing back these days, I’ll tell myself, “okay, you knew this was coming, it’s only temporary, let’s just get through it”, but haven’t really understood why I go through it. I should really re-examine what’s going through my head next time this happens.

    Then I moved out from toxic home, I started having panic attacks and hirt myself, like not in the serious way, but not getting up to take another blanket then I feel cold and putting to much salt and just eating it. Its seems small, but actually this is what we do when we hate ourselves. I started feeling jealous because self hatered became desire to have something for myself. And now I'm feeling peaceful and huppy sometimes
