Repressive coping is a psychological defense mechanism that individuals may employ to manage and minimize feelings of anxiety, stress, or distressing emotions. It involves consciously or unconsciously avoiding or suppressing thoughts, memories, or emotions that are perceived as threatening or uncomfortable. In the realm of mental health and psychology, it's vital to distinguish between being strong and repressively coping. In this video, we will be sharing four telltale signs that you might be engaging in repressive coping mechanisms to help you gain a deeper understanding of the impact on your mental well-being.

I dealt with this last year. Especially the first 3 points, I got sick all the time, whether that was a cold or flu or stomach troubles. I played video games a lot and ate lots of sweets, this only happened once but I lost it at a friend. My problem was that I felt like I wasn t a nice person like every thing I did was secretly selfish and manipulative, I also struggled with dealing past pains. Because of the whole someone always has it worse, however, I learnt to validate my pain myself, being ok with telling myself that the shit thing I went through was indeed quite shit. I let go of so many burdens that now I have to figure out who I am without them. I m not sure if happier, I m just lost for the minute. I don t know how to talk anymore, so many of my experiences feel like they ve fallen to the void so I have to go out and make new ones. Ah well it is what it is

This. This! All points just rung with me! Been constantly tired to the point of believing it is fatigue. Constantly trying to repress emotions while trying to disconnect with them. Then the long term friendships. Only ever managed to keep two friends for longer than a year whereas others went without a word or decided to attack. Gotten so used to pushing back to negativity that I can assist my friends through theirs. Using video games and chocolate to help escape the pain but sometimes that pain kicks up and physically hurts a lot. If therapy becomes a possibility, taking that chance instead of paying attention to any signs for the long term before guessing. Like depression and anxiety. Noticed them years ago but only when the pandemic started did things worsen rapidly.

Can you point me to a video about whatever the hell I have?
I find it hard to understand and show negative emotions, instead of handling them and dealing with them, I push them to the side and get ready for tomorrow. I haven t cried since forever unless it s due to extreme pain in the physical manner or I m watching a movie, other than that, frustration and sadness is only shown when I break. when I break first against walls, when I break my face because I can get the tears out. I can t get that pain out, you have a video that can help point in the right direction? Turtle out

Damn, the fact that I can actually relate to a great majority of these is pretty scary. Yesterday I had a pretty big argument with my uncle, and I got so pissed of that I just ended up cussing him out. For 17 years, I've been subjected to so many different things that over time I just found myself being sad all the time. Even in situations where I was expected to show some postivity. Man.

I'm definitely gonna have to come back to this vid in the near future. Things have been so complicated ever since my mom died last month and it's just getting more and more complicated with each passing week. I really wanna make sure that my family and I can get through this and that we're stronger for it, but I don't think everyone's handling it in the best way, including myself.

I give myself goals/an event that I look forward to. Before Halloween it was dressing up for Halloween, for December it was looking forward to my Advent calendar every day no matter how bad or good the day gets. I already have plans for New Year's Eve. Maybe the kind of motivation is a bit bad but it helped me to cope better with myself. So many new things happened this year

I listen to ASMR everyday. It's my way of escaping reality and be tranfered to a better world. One where I'm not considered evil for existing and that there is someone who loves me and wants to protect me from the evilness of the world. I know it isn't real, but it feels real to me, because it feels like this is what the world should be.

Can you guys give your insight on the mental health epidemic and the influence of the new trend of romantizising them and misinformation on the web. For example, I've seen more people atribuithing literally anything to ADHD or autism, when they know nothing about the actual condition (also w anxiety and depression)
reply

Back in 2009, as a child, i tended to do something like this, where i would keep my emotions inside and show almost no negative ones (not allowed to. But in 2018, after multiple things and multiple pressures during my senior year, this teaches me to become numb to 90% of all my emotions.
reply

I don't have these symptoms, but also feel and see that there is some pushing of my emotions. That might be becouse I could've made the choice to repress emotions conciously in the past for no reason other than wanting overpowering self control, but don't remember that
reply

I ve known all this stuff logically, but I have such powerful emotions that I block them reflexively often, how do I allow myself to feel them, is there specific techniques
Thank you for your vid, I d love to study psych again but I need to get more healthy on track

reply

What people and therapists don't seem to get is when someone has never even felt love or understands how it would look like from their perspective then it's impossible to love themselves. How can we love ourselves without having been loved in a long time?
reply

The sad thing is that feelings have to be worked out like a muscle. You're really in a bad spot when you have to be reminded of your feelings and you're like, I forgot I could feel this way. Sometimes it feels like the world wasn't made for humans.
reply

Personally I m not going through i just really like your videos like asmr but if anyone is going through this I think y all should pray and also can you make a video about like top 10 things to do when your bored thx
reply

i'm not actively pushing them away
it happens passively
out of my control
and i don't notice until it's too late
or i shut down once i feel too much and it happens automatically
how do i not do that

reply

It just seems so crazy. How are you suposed to know that bad emotions are not. Well, bad? Without anyone telling you, i mean. This is what i would like to see when they come to the school to make a talk
reply

This mauy very well explain much of my childhood, especially my adolescence: constantly pushing aside my negative feelings and avoiding reality, when I thought I was thinking positively.
reply

Is this the same as been a binge drinking, porn addicted, lazy, irresponsible knumb nuts person with autism and on the ADHD spectrum? x no x P. S. I love ur vid on dopime and alchol
reply

I used to repress my emotions a lot. I became very numb emotionally and it took a very long time for me to feel living again and not just going through the motions like a robot
reply

Yeah. I relate to all of these. I m working on a pitch for an animated universe and that makes me feel amazing. Makes me feel like myself again.
