Dr. Julie Smith is an English psychologist who created an account at Tik Tok to continue offering to people with mental health problems even within the pandemic. With the immediacy and intimacy that inspired, the videos he uploaded gained the attention of users and within a few months reached three million followers while on Instagram a community of about 492 thousand users.
There are many people around us who due to mental problems need the help of a specialist. However, there are many times when they either do not realize it or are ashamed to ask for help. The pandemic added additional barriers and trauma to existing ones, making access to psychiatrists and psychologists even more difficult.
To make mental help accessible to more and more people and to stop mental problems being a taboo subject, social networks are a powerful weapon in the quiver of experts.
This is exactly what happened to Dr Julie Smith. In one of her videos, she points out the four signs that show you that you need help for your mental health. There were a lot of people who identified with the four characteristics, even stating in the comments how they currently have at least one of them.
# 1 The feeling that there is no hope
The first thing that should bother you is the feeling of futility. When the phrase “vanity of vanities everything vanity” becomes a way of life for you then your soul needs help. Certainly when you are in the problem you can not see clearly and you feel that you are sinking. However, even the most difficult situation can lead you to the light, sculpting a stronger and wiser self for the future.
# 2 Sleep Disorders
Observe your sleep, if you need to sleep more than usual or you do not get enough sleep then a bell rings. The quality of sleep is essential for our psychology and can betray the changes that occur in it. In the past, sleep was considered just a need of the body to rest from the obligations of the day. Studies, however, have shown that it is a key element of a healthy physical and mental life. Ariana Huffington’s book “The sleep revolution: Transforming your life one night at a time” is a good guide to teach you the basics of sleep.
# 3 Mood swings
The third sign can work either on its own or as a result of the previous two. When there is a trigger that causes us mental trauma, it often triggers mood swings to release the accumulated energy. You may feel that it is just a matter of your character and maybe those around you can not understand you. However, this alone is enough to make you understand that you need a specialist. All you need is to listen to you.
# 4 Loneliness and a sense of isolation
Even if you have a lot of people around you, you may still feel lonely or isolated. Whether the problem is created by those around you or you feel it alone is a good reason to look for it. With the psychologist you will find the root of your emotions and going up to their surface you will learn slowly and steadily yourself and you will evolve, while at the same time you will be able to manage what you feel.
To get started:
A cornerstone for being able to heal is to realize that mental trauma is not something wrong. Our weaknesses build who we are and seeking help is proof of strength. It is not bad to go to the specialist, on the contrary only good can offer. It will create the image we have of ourselves and others of us.
