Core belief of self is a foundational to addiction. If you have a negative belief of yourself, you will support that belief with your actions Actions like anger and avoidance often lead to the guilt that triggers the redundant cycle of substance abuse #MentalHealthMatters

Our brains can actually manufacture illness, this is known as "nocebo" effect If we understand how our mentality changes our biology and what our triggers are, we can start on the path to getting better. Not only can we manufacture issues, we can heal them too #MentalHealth

It's hard to know what is good or bad. Things we consider normal can light up the same pathways as drugs in the brain We are surrounded by temptation all the time, if you've had a substance abuse issue in the past, these temptations can turn into new addictions #Mentalhealth

There's no shame in talking about mental health Don't give into the weight of stigma to the point that you don't seek help You deserve to feel good #MentalHealthMatters

Are you in a chronic state of self-doubt, self blame, poor decision making or using substances to cope? This could be long-term effects of being the scapegoat for your parents problems We don't have to sell ourselves short based on other's anger and doubt #MentalStrength

Don't let your conscience get the worst of you when cutting out toxic people Chances are those people are selfishly living in the moment and don't care the way that you do anyway Stay strong homies #MentalHealthAwareness

A big component of getting mental help is conveying your symptoms which is really hard to do through language One thing that led to me getting properly diagnosed was arming myself with information and medical terms that consisted with my experience #MentalHealthMatters

How do you learn to be fundamentally safe in your own body? Self compassion is huge, but not without professional help Talk therapy, EMDR and psychedelics have helped me a lot Develop an honest relationship with your professionals to help you through these strategies ❤️

Musicians: Why does playing your instrument feel like medicine for you? Bilateral Stimulation: Used to effect one half of the brain and then the other over and over again to help manage symptoms of anxiety or PTSD Are you also addicted to playing music or going on walks?

Some things love negative energy and they absorb it everytime they trick you into lashing out Protect yourself with mindfulness and don't let them allow you to throw parts of your life away You deserve the good parts #MentalHealthSupport

Be kind to yourself and prioritize your needs. You have to mask up your own oxygen before you help others during a flight emergency. You deserve it #MentalHealthMonday

So TikToks been alive again, I noticed and posted this morning. It's the best online community I have as far as people being people, interacting and being kind to one another while supporting eachother's passions. I'm thankful, I was going to miss the sense of community #tiktok

Free speech who? So many small businesses are going to be wrecked from this. Exactly what "they" want, can't have the worker bees getting a piece of that pie 👎🗑 #tiktokban

Know your self worth and don't put all of your eggs in one basket Ask yourself, if you were left alone would you have anything left of yourself? Find what you love and never stop no matter what others think #MentalHealthMatters

Work on what you say when you talk to yourself, life is shaped by thoughts It runs deeper than just the law of cognition No one is more influential in your life than you are Don't talk yourself into a life you hate #MentalHealthMatters

Avoidance will keep you trapped, but jumping in too fast, too deep could be too much Don't allow yourself to compare your situation to anyone else's for better or worse Healing can only happen in the present moment with your present self #MentalHealthMatters

Inner peace is critical to your mental health Tranquility not only feels good when you can manage to achieve it, but it puts us in tune with our own needs that must be met to be truly fulfilled Understanding and acceptance is key to a better day #MentalHealthMatters
