What’s the thing you’re most scared to do? What would it take to get you to do it?
-There are a few….
The thing I am most scared to do is Loose control. In a good way and a bad way. I like to be in control, and I feel that I am scared to lose that. I am not sure of what it will take for me to stop fearing my control issues. On the other hand, sometimes, I feel like I am losing control in a way that is bad and a lot of chaos. My attitude can be bad, and if I am pushed, it’s so much worse. Working on my healing to change that.
I am also scared to drive. I am grown, and I do not drive; it is a fear of mine. I don’t know why I just don’t face my fear and try it. It’s something that is always on my mind. I think I will seek help on how to face that fear. I get so scared, and my anxiety goes up when i am in a vehicle..Crazy right? Another one is scared to open up to people. I keep a guard up and don’t really interact much. I keep my distance and keep to myself. This is something else that I have been working on.
Those are the things I am scared of the most. Might be simple or weird things. I own it.
*Write about a taboo subject you find to be taboo in our society.
A subject that I feel that is taboo in our society is mental health/Illness. I know that there are many people dealing with mental health issues who are scared to talk about it. Feeling ashamed about how they are feeling and about what they are going through. It is a tough topic to discuss I feel due to others judging and being mean about it. Some people look at you differently and treat you differently due to your mental illness. It happens to a lot of people who suffer in silence and have no one to talk to or no support because they feel people would look down on them. It is crazy because that is true, some people feel that others should not be down, depressed or have anxiety or any other kind of mental illness. I have actually met a few people like this. Maybe because their life is put together. I don’t know. Mental health/illness is an important subject, everyone deserves to be happy and have support when they need help. Also, it is important to seek help no matter what others think. It is hard and you might feel like you are being a burden, but getting help and healing is key. I would never understand why talking about what is going on with you is a problem, to families, friends anybody. Including myself or why some cannot or won’t accept it.
Trust, I know about this all too well. It took me years to express any of my feelings or talk about what I was going through and really feeling. I did it first by writing down my feelings, my rage, and then why I was feeling that way, I know this method will not always work for others. I also talk to my sister about some stuff. Still, I get, from time to time, people who laugh about my feelings or if I talk about having anxiety or depression. They think that I am dumb or weak for feeling the way that I do. It is hard to find somebody who genuinely cares about your well-being or mental stability. I am not saying that it is another person’s responsibility for your happiness just would be great to have a little support in your process of healing. Some kindness or keeping their thoughts to themselves would be cool. We all need to find something that helps us and soothes us in a good way. And not doing things in a bad way that can further hurt us.
Everybody needs somebody, and I honestly didn’t use to think like this. I always thought that I should handle everything on my own. Sometimes, I still do. It’s hard to ask for help, and it’s something I need to work on.
I wish that more people could be themselves and, if they need help, seek it. My thoughts about mental health, it’s hard to deal with. I really do think this is a taboo subject. What do you think? Agree? Disagree
I would love to hear more thoughts about this subject.
Do you think that social media hurts or ruin relationships?
Do you think that social media has taken over some people’s lives?
I do not think so. I think it is the person who is being irresponsible on social media, not just social media itself. I have been hearing for a few years now that people blame social media for some of their relationship problems, and sometimes, I do not understand it. I feel like those types of people should just stay off it if it will help their relationship.
For the second question, I do believe that social media has taken over some people’s lives. Everything that they do goes on social media, they always feel the need to get attention, and advice from people on these apps. I also feel like some people expose themselves and their families. Getting advice, I don’t feel that is a big deal, but people who put all their business out there I feel it is too much. Some things should be kept off the internet. I do feel social media nowadays is a big deal to some people, and I know some people make their money that way, so I cannot knock what social media provides for some. I just think it is an overload. People will do anything for attention and money.
These are just my opinions. How do you feel about both questions?
