Type “TOXIC” in the comments below if you can relate! ❤️ It was really difficult for me to accept that a person I really cared about was actually toxic for me. They just had too many qualities that were GOOD and even though they behaved in a hurtful way sometimes, I could always understand why! But because of exactly that thinking, I had to admit that they were toxic FOR ME! The combination of their qualities with my tendencies turned the relationship into an unhealthy one. People don’t have to be EVIL to be toxic. Sometimes their behaviour is toxic because it triggers unhealthy responses in US! We just need to recognise it! 👌 @HowMental ~ The Mental Movement ~ is here to help you take care of the most important part of you: Your Mind. 😇 That’s why we’ve partnered with some amazing organisations and therapists to help you show your true colours.

Drop three 👏👏👏 in the comments if you feel this! ❤️ I always thought ‘doing my best’ was all about working hard, getting shit done and maintaining my relationships. But what I didn’t realise was that I was actually putting pressure on myself to reach that specific ‘best’ ALL the time! And that frequently pushed me towards mental breakdowns instead of success. I now understand that ‘doing my best’ is dynamic, and it changes EVERY day with how I am doing. So from now on when I say ‘I’m doing my best’, I mean that I’m doing the best for my mental health! There’s nothing good that can come out of pushing ourselves to mental breakdowns! 🥰 If you would like more support for your mind, tap the link in our bio. @HowMental has partnered with some amazing organisations and therapists that can help you with your specific needs. 👉@HowMental 📸: @quotesbychristie #mentalhealthawareness #anxietysupport #growthmindset #youcantstopme #depressionrecovery #depression #motivationnation #motivationalwords #motivationalpost #selfgrowth #mentalhealth #mentalwellness #mindsetmatters #encourageothers #anxiety #recoveryquotes #depressedquotes #selfesteem #perfectlyimperfect #depressionhelp #mindfulnessmeditation #mindsetshift #mentaltoughness #feelthelove #youcanmakeit #positivequotes #bodymindsoul #takeadeepbreath #emotionalhealth #mindfulliving

Drop three ❤️❤️❤️ if you can relate! 🥰 Sometimes I don’t even really know what’s been brewing inside my head. I’m so distracted with what’s happening around me that I don’t take the time to acknowledge the gathering emotions in my mind. So it really is GOOD that I’m so clumsy because simply knocking over my water can push me over the EDGE! I break down thinking everything in my life is USELESS! But my reaction actually reveals the state my mind is in. I’m finally realising that I NEED A BREAK! Maybe we need to knock over more cups to remind ourselves of what’s happening inside of us! 👌 If you would like some support when checking in with yourself, tap the link in our bio. @HowMental has partnered with some amazing organisations and therapists that can help you with your specific needs. 👉@HowMental 📸: @gabbiehanna #mentalhealth #positivethoughts #positivemind #positivelife #dailymotivation #keepmovingforward #personalgrowth #mentalhealthawareness #bpd #helpothers #innerstrength #believeinyou #endthestigma #mentalhealthmatters #bethechangeyouwanttosee #breakthesilence #talkaboutit #stopthestigma #breakthestigma #mentalillnessawareness #anxietyrecovery #mentalhealthrecovery #anxietysupport #generalizedanxietydisorder #anxietyquotes #bipolardisorder #depressionrecovery #createyourownhappiness #selfhelp #selfcareisntselfish

Drop three 😍😍😍 in the comments if you feel this! ❤️ When I’m really low, it’s easy for me to play with the idea of giving up. I just don’t have the energy and can’t seem to build up the will power anymore. So much keeps going wrong and I can’t seem to do ANYTHING about it! But when these thoughts pop up, I KNOW I’m spiralling! I feel helpless and self-destructive. Maybe what I need to start doing instead of fantasising about what happens when I give up is visualise what could happen when I DON’T! There’s still SO MUCH potential in our lives, we can push through this!

Type "YES" in the comments if you feel this! ❤️ It was strange growing up in an environment where I was told that I can only be happy if I have this kind of a job, earn this amount of money or own these items. So I always strived to achieve these things, only to find that it did NOT make me any happier! If anything, I felt worse because I was disappointed with what I discovered! Only when I finally shifted my perspective did I find more happiness! It’s not about what we HAVE but what we MAKE of it! And with that slight change in outlook, we have suddenly opened up ALL of the opportunities for ourselves again! 🥰 If you would like some help changing perspectives, tap the link in our bio! @HowMental has partnered with some amazing organisations and therapists that can help you with your specific needs. 👉 @HowMental 📸: @happier_habits #mentalhealth #positivethoughts #positivemind #positivelife #dailymotivation #keepmovingforward #personalgrowth #mentalhealthawareness #bpd #helpothers #innerstrength #depression #endthestigma #mentalhealthmatters #bethechangeyouwanttosee #breakthesilence #talkaboutit #stopthestigma #breakthestigma #mentalillnessawareness #anxietyrecovery #mentalhealthrecovery #anxietysupport #generalizedanxietydisorder #anxietyquotes #bipolardisorder #createyourownhappiness #mindfulnessmeditation #selfcareisntselfish #selfhelp

Type "WHO AM I?!" in the comments below if you can relate! ❤️ When I have a moment to reflect, I suddenly realise aaaall the things I still want to figure out about who I am and why I am the way I am. And of course I start feeling OVERWHELMED so I question why I haven’t tackled these thoughts YEARS ago! But self-awareness and learning is never easy and it takes lots of TIME. Let’s not beat ourselves up for ignoring difficult thoughts and instead celebrate that we are willing to tackle them NOW!

Drop three ❤️❤️❤️ if you can relate! 🥰 Not listening to my body has led me to overworking, emotional breakdowns and an anxiety overload. So I KNOW I need to tune in! But it’s clear, my body doesn’t want water, healthy food or exercise - it wants PIZZA! Maybe I DO need to listen to it… just this once.

Tag a friend that supports you through thick and thin! 👫 The first thing that always strikes me when I am struggling with something is that I isolate myself. I want to deal with it on my own so it weighs on nobody’s shoulders but my own. But then the second thing strikes me - I start feeling awfully alone and incapable of tackling the problem! So I usually end up as a pretty big MESS, overwhelmed and stuck in my situation. We need to remember that we can HELP each other! We DON’T need to do it all alone! We are here for WHATEVER it is.

Drop three 👍👍👍 in the comments if you can relate! ❤️ When I’m having a really low day, I often end up spending the day in bed crying my eyes out. I shut out the world and just need to wallow! Even though this can help, it doesn’t even COMPARE to whipping out my phone and scrolling through some highlyyyy relatable memes and realising that SO MANY people are struggling in the same way!

Type "BRAVE" in the comments below if you feel this! ❤️ Love has always been a bit of a two-sided thing for me. It can be wonderful and liberating - but at the same time it can be terrifying and intimidating! There have been SO many times when I shied away from the potential of love because I was SO SCARED to be vulnerable or worse, get hurt! Love takes COURAGE! And even though it can sometimes lead to pain, it can also be BEAUTIFUL! So be PROUD of your broken heart, because you dared to love, and you dared bravely! 😘 If you would like more support when it comes to love @HowMental is here for you.

Drop three ❤️❤️❤️ if you can relate! 🥰 In the past, my go-to of dealing with difficult emotions was to ignore them. Push them down and if they resurfaced, push them deeeeeper! I thought I had cracked it, a nice short cut to dealing with my mind. But I was soooo wrong. Ignored emotions don’t just go away, they just build up into a terrifyingly huge creature that is ready to consume everything around it! And that’s what happened, my emotions pulled me down under the surface. I now know, there is NO shortcut, no hack, no quick solution to difficult emotions. The only way dealing with them is ACTUALLY dealing with them by sitting through them! But I KNOW we can do this! 💪 If you would like some support with difficult emotions @HowMental is here for you!

Type "ANXIETY" in the comments if you can relate! ❤️ For the longest time I didn’t realise I struggled with anxiety because I mainly had physical symptoms. I always thought anxiety was just a thing that happened in our minds. But actually, when I was faced with a triggering situation, I started shaking, I had trouble breathing, I was sweating pretty badly and I felt uncomfortably lightheaded. I just assumed this was normal and started avoiding a lot of these situations instead of tackling the problem. But understanding that this is part of anxiety has helped me learn how to cope!

Type three ❤️❤️❤️ in the comments below if you feel this! 🥰 There are weeks that pass where I’m giving and giving and I don’t even realise that I’m getting NOTHING back. And I try to sustain myself on the hope that one day I will receive that same kind of love! But I finally need to realise that I DESERVE more than just hoping and waiting.

Drop three ❤️❤️❤️ if you can relate! I know I need to start processing some emotions and thoughts when my mind feels like a MINEFIELD! There’s a lot of dark corners that I don’t want to go to and I tiptoe around my thoughts just to get through my days! But avoiding these thoughts WON’T make them go away. Instead, I will probably end up prodding one accidentally and set them ALL off at once! And that will definitely not be fun to clean up… So let’s take some time today to start working through our thoughts and diffuse those mines! Turn that minefield into a thriving mind-field (sorry, bad joke). ✨ @HowMental ~ The Mental Movement ~ is here to help you take care of the most important part of you: Your Mind. 😇 That’s why we’ve partnered with some amazing organisations and therapists to help you show your true colours.

Type “YES” in the comments below if you can relate! ❤️ Comparison can be toxic. Whether it’s comparing myself to others doing better than me or WORSE than me! But I am often faced with others ‘comforting’ me by telling me that I am still doing OKAY compared to the bad in the world. And I understand how this can put things in perspective. But my emotions are REAL and no matter what situation I am in, I have to feel them and deal with them! So let’s STOP comparing all together.

Type "MEN" in the comments if you feel this! ❤️ Although there is more acceptance and understanding around mental health now, there's still a LOT of prejudice around what it means to be a ‘man’. It's for this reason that the suicide rate among adult men is THREE TIMES HIGHER than women. But being a man means being emotional, getting hurt, processing emotions and healing. All this is part of being HUMAN and not related to gender!

Drop three ❤️❤️❤️ if you can relate! 🥰 This is NOT about being a pessimist. EXPECTATIONS have led to a LOT of disappointment in my life. And they have not only disappointed me but also put TOO MUCH pressure on the people around me! So I've realised I do need to consciously manage my expectations. A guru (yes, an actual guru!) once told me "Expectations lead to irritation" and this lesson has stuck with me forever. Whether we expect something good or bad of someone, we are setting ourselves up for a version of reality that doesn't exist and therefore setting ourselves up for some kind of awkward emotional, unnecessary and sometimes intensely difficult response. So, it’s easier to not expect shit and be surprised in the process!
