Just wanted to say thank you for everyone's support of our channel. It's so nice to read each of your messages and comments thanking the work that we do. We take around 1 month to make videos and we can't thank you for the appreciations!

i’ve dealt with mental health issues for almost a decade now, since i was 13 and it peaked when i had suicidal thoughts and attempted at 17. fast forward 5 years i’ve been okay-ish up until 6 months ago. i’m now in the darkest, lowest, and most difficult point in my life thus far. i won’t go into too much detail, but i’ve been struggling really bad. being an adult with mental health issues is a god damn nightmare, especially when you’re dealing with severe heartbreak, financial loss, family issues and live in a toxic environment that just exacerbates your illness. i’m a hot mess rn, and these videos are hitting close to home. i have a few good online friends that are there for me when they’re able to be, but we’re all in our early-mid 20s so they’re usually very busy. no one in real life has bothered to reach out to me, despite me always checking on them and giving them advice and shit when they need a shoulder to cry on. i’m just tired of being tired, tired of being strong, tired of the same old cliché “it’ll get better” “hang in there” like yeah, i know, but we’re in the present, not the future. if i wanted basic ass recycled quotes i’d go on pinterest, but i digress. lmao anyway, all that to say- thanks Psych2Go for all that you do. you’re brilliant and help millions of people go through everyday life. everyday is a battle for me, a battle i’ve been dealing with for a decade that has somehow gotten even worse in the past few months, this month especially. i’m still going to keep trudging on though, one day at a time. i hope anyone reading this knows they aren’t alone. my suicidal thoughts, although passive, are back and that scares me. i really didn’t wanna fall back into this hole, but life is unpredictable. please, reach out for help if you can, and if you don’t necessarily suffer from mental health issues pleaseee check on your friends. it’s very hard for all of us right now, but coupled with sickness it’s unbearable. i don’t want to leave this earth just yet, but i also cannot handle feeling like this. for legal reasons, i am safe lol but i feel like people sugarcoat these things, and that’s not healthy. it’s a dark, horrible place to be in and people need to realise that or it’ll never get taken seriously by people who don’t understand mental illness. it’s just as valid as any physical ailment. however, these comments show how none of us are truly alone, even if it feels that way. one day at a time is what i tell myself, sometimes one hour at a time. life is hard, but we don’t have to go through it alone. this was way longer than intended, i guess i just needed to vent haha. my points still stand. all of you are loved, deeply, even if you don’t believe it. the pain is temporary, everything is temporary. take that how you will. much love xx ❤️❤️

this is a good reminder that no one really knows what others go through, please dont treat people like trash :]

“You don’t have to control your thoughts. You just have to stop letting them control you.” - Dan Millman

It's very hard trying to live when you're dead inside, I'm in that cause.

As a teacher in these COVID-y times, stuff like this is super insightful. You always have to be on the lookout for young people who are struggling, and lift them up when they need it. Mental health is so underrated and often overlooked in schools, but it really shouldn't be. If any young people read this, know that there are people in your corner. We're rooting for you. You CAN do it.

I’m battling mental health problems myself. I can’t sleep, my mood changes at the drop of a hat, and lately I feel like I’m losing interest in the things I enjoy. It feels like I’m trapped in a thick fog with no way out.

**cutely sends this to all my friends** A cute little fun fact: I actually never had friends to send this 2

My family never cared about the physical and mental abused I’ve face so I had to overcome it on my own Thank you so much for the likes and talking to me guys first time I didn’t feel alone

I’m glad I’m feeling better recently from whatever I was going through (I don’t like self diagnosing) but my actual close friends actually noticed something wrong with me.

I was trying to communicate with my parents through these signs, but they didn’t get it (and still don’t), and it’s hard to say directly all these things to them. I’m afraid that my problems will be belittled cuz I often hear sayings like “there are people who are suffering more than you, but they overcame and succeeded while you’re complaining about trivial things and lazy.” Psych2Go just summarized my behaviors in 5 minutes 6 seconds. Thank you Psych2Go, this video just makes me feel not alone in this world. I’m not fine in general, but at least I don’t feel today is worse than yesterday.

Honestly sometimes , not always, just letting people know that you are there for them can be uplifting. I am not an expert on mental health but I just wanted to put that out there.

THIS VIDEO TOPIC IS LONG OVERDUE!! Looking back at past situations with close friends and family, I can now see many of these signs in those loved ones who were going through mental health struggles. THANK YOU Psych2go for having such a useful and thought-provoking channel 🙇‍♂️ ❤️ 🙏

Just want to put out there that it's nice to tell someone who's struggling with mental issues that you're there for them but please don't say it if you aren't willing to do it. I've had so many people tell me that they'll be there for me but never really are. I've had people say they'll come visit or spend time with me at a certain time but end up canceling usually at the last minute and it's never an emergency. It's very kind to be there for people who need it but please if you aren't willing to actually do it, don't bother saying it or you'll just make it worse.

I have a friend who shared that there are times where she’ll just eat a few bites for the whole day and would not feel as hungry as healthy ppl. I did wonder why she wasn’t hungry and If she purposely starved herself but really, it was because of her depression that effected her hunger. Almost everyday, she’ll either over eat (binge eat/emotionally eat) or only eat a few bites… she doesn’t share how she maintains her body weight because she doesn’t…

Hey YOU, incredible person reading this...The truth is you are confident and good enough already with who you are, where you are at and what you have right now to have the success you want in life. Don't let others define what “success” is for you. Get up, learn that skill and go after it! I believe in you so much! Have an awesome day! - Love, Nat ❤️

Not me clicking on this knowing damn well that I’m struggling with my mental health 🥲 I have a therapist, but I didn’t realize I was suppressing grief from my dad’s death last year, as well as emotions from a previous relationship. One day at a time.

Just by looking at the first few seconds of the video this is really helpful and I kind of relate and I see some of my family members feel this too. Thank you so much this helped.

every time i watch your videos i burst into tears. i know i have a traumatic past but i thought i was over it. I'm starting to realize that traumas have affected me throughout my life

Thanks for always helping us out! I really appreciate it, and thanks to you guys I’m seeing a therapist for help now! ♥️

Fatigue or a loss of energy Feeling detached Markedly diminished interest or pleasure in almost all activities Insomnia or hypersomnia Sudden changes in mood from being joyful to being irritable, angry and hostile Repeated actions or checking things many times Significant changes in appetite Recurring thoughts of death and suicide

I love that you make these sorts of videos, that spread awareness among your viewers (and hopefully many others). It is a very good thing and I enjoy watching them

I hope this video can reach my family, they just think I'm just acting up. Thanks for the video more power ❤️

Keep up the good content, I am such a big fan, and can't wait to see what more is in store!

We all go through this at some points in life. It’s best to recognize it and seek help from people that love us.

your voice is so comforting, i love it

Thank you for making me feel better with your calming voice.. I was having a bad day and so tired..but your videos always makes me happy

your voice is actually curing my depression x)

Definitely one of your best videos! Wishing you much success in inspiring more people to get the emotional care and healing they need. New sub here! 👍🏾

I love your videos! They teach me a lot and they’re really entertaining. Keep up the great work :)

This womans voice is so soothing. Keep it up!

Its Shocking to me how many people among our own group have mental health issues. Some hide it well behind a facade of normality until you spend some time to get to know what’s behind the surface!!

Very well explained .I’m going through these feelings recently and I always keep reminding myself that all the negative thoughts nor feelings are delusions and should not impact my real feelings. It’s difficult to deal with sometimes but I know that I am not alone. 😊😊

Eeeee new video!! Excited to see!

Thank you for these, they are i formative to look out for ourselves and our family members.

Thank you so so so much for this video, mental health struggles sometimes can be misunderstood

Tired, sleeping to mush, mood swings, and to confrontation to keep watching

All of these key facts about mental issues are very validating to someone who has been dealing with depression for about a year and two months you are helping me in ways you don't understand, All the videos you upload are extremely helpful and needed, Thank you for doing these types of videos.

I've been watching psych2go many years and i think psych2go study really hard to tell us how important about mental health and i'm so glad that i found this channel it helps me everyday since i subscibe this channel its so helps so much to me i hope this channel grow bigger

Tysm for this! This helped me out a lot!

Love the animation. Humor is very helpful!

Thanks a lot for raising my awareness

Thanks for posting such an informative video... one video at a time we can break the stigma and make sure those with mental illness are not shamed for seeking help.

To the *worthwhile person* seeing this, it can be so tough out there. Don’t allow the past and current pains and hurts stop and define you. You’re more than a conqueror. Rise up and put yourself together. Keep pushing your future depends on it. I wish you all the best in life ❤️.

A video on how to reach out to them or comfort those going through this would be greatly appreciated!

After seeing this all I'm asking is... how to make your Parents acknowledge that you have limits too despite already running out of patience and is pressured to continuously building patience just for no conflict within the family?

Thanks for this video 💙

I can relate to all of these. Thank you for uploading the video. I wish i was old enough to call the hotlines but i'm 10 almost 11

I’m happy to re read this several times. It alerted me once again how I’ve suffered and how I can give help or comfort

all i need is some goddamn entertainment after a long day of voice acting, & archeology studies for school. this video definitely cured me. thank you for taking the time to make this video. the funniest thing about me watching your videos is that I always have sushi with me. i look forward to watching your videos everyday! i love you!

I'm so glad there are vidoes out here that talk about this kind of thing. Thank you Psych2go!🙂🙂

Thanks... Your support is meaningful for US.

8/8 since born. Summary of my life. Thanks

I really love your videos. It helps me a lot. It gives me more insight of my Depression and Anxiety ect. And it's true, it's difficult reaching out for help which is my case rn. I also have some video suggestions. I personally think these are important: 1.) How Depression affects Type 1 Diabetics 2.) How helicopter parents aren't helping your mental health or literally anything helicopter parent related stuff (The reason I put this on is because that I have helicopter parents and the don't understand or they get the wrong idea when I tell them about my problems. I've lost my trust with them... I can't trust with my problems anymore...) 3.) How Depression and Anxiety effects girls/women when on their periods ... I forgot my other suggestions but that's alright. And I'm sorry about my little rant there. Just some thoughts I needed to get out my head...

It's sad to know you have these problems, yet the person that hurt you is pretending nothing happened.

I really need this, not just for myself but also for my friend. Thank you for posting this! :)

Disclaimer: I reached out to my doctors and started therapy. It shocked me that EVERYTHING you said does apply to me and to be honest I really appreciate your videos because they gave me the strength to say to myself you’re messed up so go and get help because you need it and deserve a better lifestyle. And for a long time I was very scared of being judged because at that time having a "weak point" for me was something I couldn’t live with. Anyways again I feel very thankful for the great support and learning you do. Keep it up!!!

Like literally, this is me. Thanks for the coincidental video in which I do really need this now.

The worst thing is when you are practically begging for help and seeking it but no one is willing to give you the help you need

Im pleased that I had the opportunity to get out of these hard period of time, I have learned a lot of things ,and If you are depressed my advice is just remmber that your not alone, stop thinking negatively ,spend more time with your friends or family I had a lot of problems with my family but playing with my small brothers /sisters made feel more happiness

Thanks I could use that video. My friends mean alot to me and I kinda always worry bout em. Sadly some of these match. And of course I don't want em to be sad! That might cause depression in me when they are sad and I am unable to do anything, so I have to hope that they get thru. I never write comments much but I might aswell do it. But these videos help me in many different way and the Narritor has a calming voice, I noticed what mental problems I have but I mostly care bout helping my friends and make em happy. Hope they make it. Thank you for reading this comment :)

I highly recommend going to therapy. I'm now diagnosed with bpd and ptsd and I'm on medication and the combination of both helps me alot. It also helped me process my traumatic past. 💕

For me I think I have bad anxiety and almost bordering on depression I've been overthinking and don't enjoy anything I loved doing before I may get up and grab my pencil to draw but most times I lay in bed thinking and panicking once every now and then I might think to myself "why don't I just give up? I can't take all this stress anymore" my mom took me to the doctor and they told me I have high blood pressure sense I don't eat a lot of sodium it was chalked up to stress from the pandemic, online school, grades, my brother going to jail etc. I try to stay positive around everyone because I don't want them to leave me so I keep my feelings to myself but I tell myself a quote to get me through what I'm feeling "life without rainy days is incomplete"

I love this channel 💜💜

I love this channel

Today I realized this has been happening to me and now I'm gonna try to fix it

Omg I love the animation!! ^_^

Love the colors, the animation, and the message 👌

I relate to every single one of these expected the last 2 🤦🏽‍♂️

Well tbh , I can relate with some of the points like - 1) fatigue or loss of energy 2) felling detached 3) hypersomnia 4) sudden changes in mood 5) significant change in appetite 6) recurring thoughts of death and suicide ( which I do most of time ) And I also want to check a doctor to see if I'm really ok but then I don't tell anybody anything thinking that I'm just overacting ( anybody who's in the same situation ? )

I have excessive thoughts about death. I'm not alone - and that's the problem.

my days go from, I love school, happy cheerful, ready to see people…to just I fully hate school, mental breakdowns almost everyday, I’m tired all the time. And some days it’s fine, then it goes all down hill, then up hill and fine again. It’s an up and down cycle.

Oh.. when you already know that you fill all the checkbox... I've just been hanging on because I want to be able to stay clean from my self harm and hospital aid is limited due covid. I'm absolutely sure I should be hospitalized in nov 2019. This pandemic helped and dragged me in different ways. Now I'm in a huge relapse and I'm just waiting my psychiatrist appointment this next Feb 5th. Let's see how it goes...

omg i really love your voice in english and in spanish it's relaxing for me, also i love your content is very interesting 😊

Thank you so much for this video physc2go! And thank you for all of your videos they are really helping me understand things. I need a therapist but I don’t think I’m quite reAdy to trust a stranger with my feelings and for them to not tell my guardians so in the mean time you guys help :) also love the animations.

Thank you. Sending love to anyone reading this who need help, this includes me. ❤️

Lovely video

thanks For the information. 😄

You are wonderful♡

You,re really helpful

Very helpful and praying my grandson’ will get the help he needs soon… he will be seeing a therapist in March…

Very helpful video 👍👌😇

Fatigue, feeling detached, loss of interest on anything, insomnia, mood swings, recurring thoughts of death.💔

Very helpful

“Take me back when I was happy, but I wasn’t acting. Vulnerable but didn’t see it like some kind of weakness”

Unfortunately i suffer from almost all of these signs (except the last one... mostly). Recently i stopped following someone i used to admire because of... some issues i had with that person, as well as some drama going around, and i feel at my lowest, again. For me it's hard to forgive people after being yelled at and abandoned multiple times in the past, so no wonder why i prefer to be in isolation nowadays. I rather be alone for the rest of my life than let anyone break my heart ever again. Never open the door to your heart to anyone, it's never worth the pain.

i havent been fighting my problems ive just been chilling with em.

"What mental health needs is more sunlight, more candour, and more unashamed conversation." - Glenn Close

Very informative video. In life there are only 2 problems--mind and the body. To feel better reduce negative thoughts [overthinking]. Your breathing is closely related to the brain [mind] and gives good relief from stress-anxiety. To relax sit on a chair or lie down, neck straight, eyes closed and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight your thoughts. With daily practice the mind will relax. No deep breathing needed. Do the practice without any expectations when taking a walk, before sleep, in school, at work, when reading, etc. Like me, make this a lifetime daily habit to have a better life. Reduce negative social media, take morning sunlight walks and avoid constipation as it affects the mind instantly. Best wishes--Counsellor.

We owe you psych2go you are very kind to let us to know about disorders thank you very much we wanted to say thank you for all these years your making video to let us know about how importatnt our mental health . Thank you very much we appreciate what have you done all these years to us

Of the massive Cornucopia of Mental Illnesses/Disorders/Disabilities I have, Mood Swings are the WORST!!!!! They can either ruin everything or improve everything. Both directions are sudden and drastic, and it's often confusing to me how suddenly I'm in the mood for something, and how suddenly I'm not. I would have a fun time with my friends, and nothing in particular really happens. My feelings just...flip. I don't know what else to call it. I feel like a whole different person, and I hate it. It can happen over the course of an hour or so, and some can happen within a minute. It's completely Random how I feel about some things, and it drives me to feel any more/less than how I should about something...or someone. Mixed feelings are worse on me mentally than Mood Swings, because I'm overwhelmed with emotions, not commonly leaving room for logic. Mood Swings are worse for me emotionally, because not only is it Random, but it provokes urges to either hurt someone close to me, or even help someone I couldn't care less about if I tried. There are a few physical problems I have that take things further against my Mental Health. I at least have a machine to help with Sleep Apnea, and moved to a better Environment for my Asthma, but my Sinuses are still causing issues, and Moderate Obesity doesn't help anything. That's a product of my Eating Habits. It was rarely over Hunger, because I would often eat so much, I wouldn't need to eat for hours, almost regularly able to skip Meals. I feel like an animal, eating whatever I can, whenever I can, as fast as I can, ready to mutilate anyone who tries to take it from me, not knowing when I'll eat next. I can at least trust my Household not to take it from me...mostly. I especially felt like an animal when my parents had to lock the Fridges and empty the Cupboards, because I would sneak so much Food out whenever I felt deprived. I didn't realize, until my friend explained to me, that I was actually pretty far on the path to eating myself to death. My Obsession with Food today is still troublesome, but it was dangerous back then. I was willing to hurt my friend over a Burger. It wasn't even a Quality Burger. It was one of those cheap ones you typically find in a School Lunch Line. I had a lot to eat already, and that still happened. We laugh about it now, but it still scares me, how little it took for me to hurt him. The whole scene was like a Cartoon. I hear about the last Burger, we get up, and I grab him by the shoulder, pull him back, and push him into the chair behind me. He grabs my ankle, tripping me, and is able to snag the Burger before I could reach it. He eats it right in front of me, and I laughed. It was so stupid, how aggressive I got over Food I wouldn't even consider High-Quality. I wasn't even mad at him. Not only did I already have two of them, and four cups of Beans, but I can't be mad at someone who makes me fall down like a Cartoon Character if we're just horsing around.

I relate to some of your mental health videos, but just laying back closing my eyes and listening to your voice is really calming. Thank you for all you do

The fact I thought I was just overthinking while I was going through almost all of these things lmao- I'm much better now I am happy i could help myself get out of it still struggling with many things but it's not out of hand

Thank you ❤

Idk about you guys but I have a decent amount of sleep for like 8-9 hours (more than 9 hours of sleep tires me out) but I still feel exhausted in broad daylight and have no energy, like I just want to lay down again in bed and go back to sleep.. 😕 Idk what's wrong with me but whenever there's a message from my teacher or when some disturbing thoughts/memories kicks in, I immediately cover my ears 'cause I feel like there's this overwhelming pressure surrounding my body, there's no noise or whatsoever but it's so annoying that'll make me cover my ears.

I remember certain people I knew showing concern or freaking out when hearing or seeing violent thoughts or actions and thinking it was normal. I lost a job that way and couldn't understand why.

Yes I thank that every one needs to no this and pay attention to there changes of there body & also there moods swings and stop running away from the problem and get some help before it gets worse

Yes absolutely true. I have complex-ptsd, trauma, major depression and anxiety and ocd not counting all my other health issues. I have a great doctor who's doing the best they can to truly help me. I have an excellent counselor as well. I take my medications everyday like my doctor tells me to do. I'm not going to lie. I struggle almost everyday with my complex ptsd and major depression and anxiety and ocd. I went through severe trauma in my childhood and most of my adult life. I go at my own pace and take it day by day. I'm disappointed in myself for not getting better faster but each person is different and unique.

I just wanna hug the little dude in this video 🥺
