  The Influence of Social Media: Its Link to Depression, Anxiety, and Comparison Among Youths Introduction Happy New Year ❤ I know it has been a while, life has been a roller coaster and a long social media break was needed but procrastination played a big role in the late post also. I'm starting the year with a topic close to the heart. Imagine a world where everything is filtered through a screen, where a carefully curated version of reality is presented to the masses. A world where the number of likes, followers, and comments determine one's worth. Welcome to the world of social media, a virtual realm that has become an integral part of the lives of today's youths. With the rise of platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Thread and Snapchat, social media has transformed the way we communicate, connect, and consume information.

ARE YOU BRAVE ENOUGH?

Welcome to " Mental health" talk with Tiana.  How are you holding up today?  I hope you woke up today, thankful for the problems you don't have  I hope you had a great weekend?  It's Monday again, oh yeah😫  I probably know how you feel, regardless of today's stress, I really do hope you can reconnect with your spirit and find your way back to happiness, whether it's through prayer, meditation, your favorite tv show/playlist, pets or people. I hope you feel at peace.💓💓 Today, we will be talking about  "Letting go and moving on"  Letting go means being willing to allow life to carry you to a new place, even a deeper more true rendition of self.  Do not be afraid of what looks like total destruction, nothing is meant to last.   You are allowed to quit that job you hate even if the society tells you not to and you are allowed to search for something that makes you look forward to tomorrow and the rest of your life.  You are allowed t...

DO NOT GIVE UP.

Welcome to " Mental health" talk with Tiana.  How are you holding up? Have you taken time for yourself today? Are you in love with yourself today? A reminder that you need self-care, take that break, meditate.  A reminder that you are enough, more than enough.💓💓 Today, let us have a conversation about "going through the motions and not giving up".  I know there are days where you just want to completely breakdown, days where you wonder if you can even find the strength to keep fighting because you are exhausted, but you keep it together, you smile and carry on like everything inside isn't breaking.  You help others without thinking to ask for help yourself because you don't want to seem like a burden. I know you are hurting. And I don't know what it is you're going through exactly. Maybe it's a break-up. Maybe it's work or financial struggles, school or a million other things. People demand a lot from you and you never let anyone down, you ...

BREAKING FREE

Welcome to "Mental health'' talk with Tiana How are you holding up today?  I hope you are having a great day? you should, the weekend is here already. 😊  Dear Human,  Can I be honest with you?  Sometimes it's hard to feel like you can ask for restoration when you probably made the decisions that got you into the situation you despise right now. I know life throws us some crazy blows, the kind of blows that make you never want to get back up again but the world would be robbed if you lose sight of the gifts God has placed in you.   My hope is that you will seek whatever intervention is necessary and you will release the spirit of self-doubt and defeat so that there is room for strategy and creativity in you.  Dear human,  Break free from your limitations,  Stop the comparison game,  Stop doubting yourself,  Stop the psychoanalysis,  People will always be better than you but you are best at your best,  Thank God for your sm...

WINNING THE WAR WITHIN

  Welcome to " Mental health" talk with Tiana I hope you are having a great day. Today, we will be talking about "winning the war within" I woke up today with little or no motivation to work, yeah it happens to most of us especially during this pandemic.😫😫 I know it seems like things will never get better and you feel like you are stuck in your current situation. Life has seemed more of a battle than a blessing lately, and every time you finally seem to make a breakthrough, life only seems to knock you back down. Every day, you wake up, you go to war. Every morning, it is not your clothes you wear but armor. When you speak, it is not your words you use but a battle cry. That is what it feels like every morning you wake up, on the day you are not doing too well mentally, on the day your mind is tired and your spirit is broken. It is like you are a soldier going to war, trying hard to conceal your feelings, trying to convince people it's not so hard to be at wor...

I officially welcome you to the mental health talk with Tiana. First, let's talk about the meaning of mental health- Mental health is a person’s condition with regard to their psychological and emotional well-being. Mental health includes "subjective well-being, perceived self-efficacy, autonomy, competence, inter-generational dependence, and self-actualization of one's intellectual and emotional potential, among others. A person struggling with their mental health may experience this because of stress, loneliness, depression, anxiety, relationship problems, death of a loved one, suicidal thoughts, grief, addiction, ADHD, various mood disorders, or other mental illnesses of varying degrees. Mental health is a socially constructed and socially defined concept; that is, different societies, groups, cultures, institutions, and professions have very different ways of conceptualizing its nature and causes, determining what is mentally healthy, and deciding what interventions, ...
