My mental health is like a rollercoaster, sometimes it's ok, sometimes not.

I need to find a way to make my mental health better.

But How?
I tried some ways, but it just doesn't work for me.

which will worsen mental health

#

what happend in your past?

prime sparrow
#

I used to be a laude child, but I've been told "Have you ever shut up?" or "Be quite" I'll start to be quite, like how I am today. And I used to be a sensitive one, and I'm still am. Whenever I see a friend struggling with relationships, or health, I would start to help them if I know how to.
And I used to get threaten by my younger brother if I ever talk to him, or done something wrong, but everything is ok Now.
When it comes to names, I'd forget their names for some reason.
And very sorry if that's long

u dont have to be sorry details are needed if we wanna try to sort things out

#

how do u feel rn daily?

#

exausted? sad? what about your sleep schedule?

#

stress?

prime sparrow
#

Sometimes I feel all of them at once, and my sleep schedule is not good, I would either fall asleep around 11;40pm, or somewhere past that.

But I sometimes feel alright, not good, not bad, just in the middle

#

did you notice any negative thought patterns or behavior which worsens how you feel daily?

prime sparrow
#

Yes, I've noticed about that, and I can't change it when I try to.

#

could you write down here the ones u noticed?

prime sparrow
#

Whenever I hold a knife from the kitchen, I think about sh, or when I'm holding scissors as well.

I eat way to much to deal with stress and my emotions.

I have to watch TV to fall asleep or music when I'm not very tired.

That's all I could think about

did u try to replace the first two with a more healthy behavior whenever u notice the urge? some other self soothing stuff which wont be as damaging long term

#

a walk, shower, hobby, talking to a friend etc

prime sparrow
#

I have not tried replacing those two.

storm field
#

you could start small and slow

#

the goal is to replace it over time

#

not force yourself to be 100% accurate

I want to start a poem that most people have about mental health, or draw on what's on my mind.

But I don't know how to do a poem, and idk how to draw that much.

storm field
#

u could start just with expressive writing

#

just writing your emotions out, after that u could move to poems and expressing it there, on Yt iam sure there are many begginers guide on poem structures

#

as far as the drawing goes, i dont think it has to be very sophisticated, goal is to get the emotions out in a better way, just try to draw whats on your mind and see if it helps

#

does this sound reasonable to u?

prime sparrow
#

It does, thank you ❤

storm field
#

good, whenever u notice the urge, try to remember our convo, and try to act in a different healthy way : )

prime sparrow
#

I'll try to do that

storm field
#

then u could keep a jornal on your progress

#

as a reminder

#

if u wanna

#

also its good to engage in hobbies regardless, boredom leads most of the time to rumination, u can draw or write whenever u want

#

watch vids associated with it yk

#

anyways sounds like a good start to me, once u learn to manage your emotions in more healthy ways and be more active, u can move to other problems and sort more stuff out

prime sparrow
#

Right,but what if I'm not happy with the hobbies I picked out?

storm field
#

stick to it for a little, try to get better at it

#

but if u dont like it at all, find something u will

#

but the emotional expressive writing isnt something u have to be good at ig? its just generally helpful and relieves stress

#

it should work in theory
