Tip 1 Stop and Tip 3 Move can be done by just taking a walk. No Smartphone, Music or any distrations. This will ensure focusing on ones thoughts or at least what is happening around them. Just move is too unspecific. Walking is easy. Everyone can just stray around their home for a few minutes. Maybe this even leads to Tip 2 Care for yourself when normal decency requires people to shave, shower and wear clean clothes.
Personally I can not recommend Tip 4 Ask for help. At least not until you know what you are asking help for. Asking for help getting outside for a walk is something more specific. But just asking for help because you are no feeling well leads the asked person usually without a good answer and oneself feels rejected and even worse. Know what you are asking for! Not just I need help but I need help doing X even if it's something mundane.

Thank you. I knew something wasn't quite right these days and I noticed that, while mentally and rationally I overcame and acknowledged my traumas, my body still reacts to even the smallest amounts of negative events unfortunately: I am 21 but my father was abusive both to me and my mother, plus my ADHD that was diagnosed to me literally 1 year ago even though I probably always had it, had caused every negative event into my life to have a significant emotional impact on me, with some of them even leaving a deep scar in my heart. now even if mentally I am prepared and can analyze a situation after it happened, it the heat of the moment my heart overwhelmes my mind and I react as if I'm being attacked and I'm trying so desperately to work around this behaviour because I dont want it to have an impact on my life anymore

One thing that's discouraging is a lot of places that talk about survival mode and how to get out of is that the advice usually boils down to: In survival mode? Calm yourself down and get out of it.
. And, I'm sorry, but if I knew how to do that I wouldn't be stuck in survival mode. I understand that the tips at the end of this video are ones that some people have never heard and need to hear. but it's hard not to see them as a band aid on a wound that needs more complicated and comprehensive care. I guess they're a nice start or can help. but there's no way a person wouldn't need much more than this to break such a traumatically ingrained pattern of behavior.

I've been in survival mode since I married my husband. I stay just sick enough from my medical issues and just isolated enough that I have no one to even ask for help that it has kept me in one hellua shit mode. I have finally found through my doctors office, several social workers who are trying to figure out how they can get me back on track. Because trying to be an honest, respectful wife, only gets me ignored and taken advantage of. I and everyone else deserves to be happy. If you aren't, then it's time we all find the change we need to make.

I've always been in survival mode, but the thing is, I give myself some rest co'z I always feel exhausted--thinking that if I woud recharge myself, then I can go back to work later. But once I wake up, I still feel tired. The only thing that motivates me to keep moving is imagining the tasks getting done one by one until a few a left. But those are just delusions because school gives us more and more activities. But what do I expect? It's a med course I'm taking so of course, I have to brace myself every moment.

I'm not a professional but imo, don't take a break from survival mode if you're not safe. It's a coping mechanism and it's even harder to deal with a bad situation if you snap yourself out of the survival mode.
Source: taking a mental health break at a toxic workplace just made my anxiety spike when I returned after a few days of reset. If I just kept showing up every day I'd be exhausted but nowhere near a breakdown.

I thought this was a Minecraft video - I was gonna write Easy, just type /gamemode c to get out of Survival Mode and go into Creative Mode
EDIT: I see others had the same thought, lol. But I check the real life boxes, I'm in real life Survival mode and have been for years and years. I guess I just call it depression, my lifelong companion.

I don't think there has ever been a time in my life that I wasn't in survival mode. It's only been exacerbated by my ADHD which until recently I didn't even realize I had and therefore, had never treated it. Being able to treat that has done a lot towards allowing me to deal with all the trauma that put me in this state in the first place.

I recently just started to pull myself out of survival mode. For the first time in over a decade, I'm starting to have a routine and I try to keep a schedule. Getting out of that toxic situation and starting therapy helped a great deal but switching survival mode to off when it's all you've known for years is hard. Working on it though

I really appreciate your content, I started therapy, but still curious to find out about psychology, so my overall feedback is positive, I like the animations, but when you have a video which is updated, such as signs your crush likes you etc, would you be able to note somewhere this is updated? this way it's easier to follow

Yes, I feel tied after the weekend. Because I work late every Saturday and go in early on Sunday night.
Yes, I've noticed responsibilities piling up, because we're short one person on the team, the other person is on vacation for two weeks, and the rest of the team isn't helping.
Oh, I also have insomnia.

Have you guys done a how to relax for people who don't know how to relax video? People say to breathe, or lie on the beach, or read. I find myself either escaping or just stressing out. Could you make a video or reply a link?

I spent my entire life in survival mode. My family made sure that I do.
I have an abusive relationship with life. It keeps beating the crap out of me and I'm too much of a damn coward to leave it.

Nice and informative video, great work! However, that's all cool except for one small issue. We have no mental healthcare providers, at least I haven't heard of any. So idk what to do.

I knew I wasn't okay before I clicked this video, but I wasn't expecting to have ALL of the signs going on in my life. Probably why I don't make videos anymore. I gotta slow down somehow.

I guess sometimes the algorithm wants to help after it eavesdrops on you. I am currently in a situation where I am scared I might be hurt, but there is nothing I can do.

4/8 breathing (478 in the video) activates the Parasympathetic Nervous System which is the relaxed state, calms the Vagus Nerve and tries to disingage that pesky Amygdala.

survival mode is when you/your brain sensed a life threatening situation, it causes an adrenaline rush and that adrenaline rush puts you in survival mode

When you can't save without sleeping, need to counter status effects such as hydration and hunger, and can't fast travel.
