things that can take a toll on your mindset + mental health - 7/11/23
tw- talk about true crime + talk about truama ~stay safe~ <3
true crime/scary videos-
this is actually more important than it seems (this is just my experience, other people might feel differently than me and that’s okay). when I watch true crime or scary vids, I get scared & paranoid that something horrific might happen to me + i think it’s quite traumatic to hear what happens in most true crime cases, it makes you imagine horrible things and it stains your mind.
furthermore, i’d like to share something that has been bothering me for awhile which has resulted from watching true crime vids. The Columbine Massacre. let me just state that I DO NOT condone what the shooters did. rather i am fascinated with the case and psychology behind it. here’s what’s been bothering me, it’s been on my mind 24/7 and i hate it. I really want to think of other things but i can’t seem to shake it out of my mind, if anyone has any tips to help this please message me.
if you are into true crime like me, i recommend limiting it or cutting it out of your life completely as it unnecessarily causing harm.
sad/violent music-
music can really affect your mood, listening to sad or violent music while trying to heal will more often than not make you feel worse/sad, it can make you remember past trauma or overthink. there’s hope though, personally i love upbeat pop music + kpop. upbeat music can raise your mood and make you happier, here’s some music I recommend: any dua lipa music, blackpink/itzy, just like magic from ariana grande.
social media-
it’s quite known that social media is bad for your mental health but still lots of us are addicted to it (including me). with social media you can fall into the comparison trap which makes you compare your life to influencers or other people. i always try to remember that they post fake/edited photos and only post the good things, social media is really toxic and if you’re trying to heal or practice self love/care, i recommend limiting your use of the apps or even outright deleting them.
if you limit social media i recommend following motivational & inspiring people such as tam kaur, thewizardliz, persephonesblood & jayciesdiary.
reminder- even if you’re sad, don’t give up! bad days are normal & inevitable, remember to treat yourself with kindness like you would a friend! <3🩵
this was a bit of a different post but i hope you liked it! <3
