[ { "from": "human", "value": "In my opinion, I think schools, family, or people in general should start teaching kids about mental health at a much younger age \nSo I've had anxiety ever since I can remember. I was scared of going blind at 7 years old, scared the world was gonna end when I was 11, etc. I think I would've been much better off today if I was taught what anxiety was when I was much younger. Then I would know how to deal with it, learn that I wasn't crazy, and most of all, get the help I needed before my brain was fully developed. In my opinion, I think with the amount of people in the world that struggle with some type of mental illness, kids should start learning about them at a much younger age so that their world doesn't fall apart one day and they have no idea why or how to deal with it. So many people are also too afraid to ask for help because they are embarrassed, scared of being judged, or don't have the money/resources for help. Just imagine how many people could've benefited from being helped earlier on, how many people could've been saved. And honestly, I've heard the whole \"let the kids have a childhood,\" but honestly, the kids who need a talk about mental health lost their childhood a long time ago." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "It’s an important subject that should be taught in an age appropriate way, but most parents aren’t informed and I’ve had too many bad counselors to trust schools to do it properly. Even trained child psychologists can be bad at their job and end up doing a lot of harm. We haven’t figured out how to destigmatize mental illness without glamorizing it yet so until then I’m not sure what a good mental health curriculum would look like." } ]

Poor things don't last as much as we do sadly, so in the end we're the ones who feel the empty spot in our heart. I'd say that when you're ready, get another dog. Not as a replacement, but as a way to carry on, never forgetting and cherishing the memories of your old dog. Hope I was of any help :)" } ]

I lost my childhood dog a few years ago, so I hope I can offer some advice that can help. First, don't feel stupid. He was more than just a dog. You shared a special bond with him so it's understandable to feel the way you do. The most important thing is don't fight the feelings. Allow yourself to be sad. Allow yourself to cry. Allow yourself to laugh when you think about the good moments you shared. Give yourself the space to heal. It will take time, and it'll be difficult, but the feelings you have right now are normal. Frankly, it really sucks. And there will be an emptiness for a while. But it's okay. Everyone grieves and heals in their own way. Try not to focus on moving on. That will happen in its own time. So try to acknowledge your emotions and go with them. Eventually, things will start to feel better, but it will take time." } ]

We would run togheter all the time and when i went to the supermarket i would allways take him with me; i would walk to the cemetery with him just because i enjoyed being with him. https://ibb.co/KDr1mqm this is him.\nAnd i hate it the most how my mother told me he died she said: -did i tell you Lake died? I said no and she said: -Ok, now i did. No one in my family was affected i just cried alone in the bathroom while they were having fun in the living room. I have so many good memories with him and i write this just as a journal, i dont think even lots of people will read it.

People your age in particular often find it hard.\nI hope you'll talk with your parents about this. They can help you with the things I'm talking about here.\nIf you can't see a therapist, self-help is better than nothing. A lot of people benefit from it. Self-help is a way to show you're serious that doesn't create friction in the family. In fact, it wouldn't be surprising if your parents liked some healthy changes in your behavior.\nSelf-help can be educational for parents as well as kids. A good self-help book explains what therapy for depression is like.\nWith depression, there's what seems like a Catch 22. People say, \"I know there are things that will make me feel better - getting exercise, taking care of myself, straightening up the house and cleaning, but I'm depressed and I don't have the energy.”\nHere's the thing - very important. People do have energy when they're depressed - as much energy as they always do, but for some reason, the system is reluctant to let you use your energy.\nWe have to use psychology to coax energy out of our systems. Psychology has some nifty tricks.\nA famous psychiatrist, Abraham Low, said that when we can't control our feelings we can still control our muscles. If you tell your arms and legs to get you our of bed or to the bathroom for a shower, they will obey.\nTry this when it seems that you're too tired to work. Lie on the couch, close your eyes, and get ready to work by imagining yourself working for 5 minutes.\nThis is a motivation trick that's been used in behavior modification programs since the 1930s. If a task seems like it's too big, think of it as a series of tasks that you can take on one at a time, and start with something really, really easy. Cleaning - start by cleaning for 3 or 4 min and take a 5 min break. Homework - start by proofreading a paper or previewing a chapter you're going to read by looking at headings, sub-headings, etc.\nYou don't have to be an athlete to benefit from exercise. As little as 20 min brisk walking a day can help, and you can add to that gradually so long as you don't make yourself sick of exercise with too much and quit. Steve Ilardi, the therapist/researcher who headed the lifestyle-depression project at the Univ of Kansas, talks about enjoyable ways to get exercise.\nIf you go to Metapsychology, you can read a psychologist's review of Dr Ilardi's book (\"splendid\").\nOf all the traditional mind-body practices (meditation, etc.), the one with the best evidence for affecting mood disorders is slow breathing. It’s used for treating anxiety, depression, panic disorder, and PTSD. It's safe and it doesn't take any training.\nVideo, below - details about self-help based on cognitive-behavioral therapy and lifestyle choices that help with depression - nutrition, basic lifestyle things like sleep, exercise, and social support, also traditional Asian methods.\nIt has advice specifically for depressed students, such as StudentsAgainstDepression.org.\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqEM\\_jlDRZI\nAlways remember that there are people you can talk to, like a school counselor.\nMy comments have good info for coping in a crisis, including the NIMH hotline." } ]
