Filtering

Suffering is part of life, suffering in silence doesn’t need to be. Reach out for help instead of saying “I’m fine” when everything is far from it.

People Pleasing

People pleasing, often referred to as ‘Overextension’, is the act of taking on an excessive amount of responsibilities and burdens, often at the cost of one’s own well-being.

Glossing

Glossing or toxic positivity is when “negative” feelings and experiences are covered up with layers of “positive” words, feelings, and reactions.

Fixating

Fixating manifests differently among individuals, often characterized by excessive behaviors aimed at detaching from reality, self-soothing, and seeking external validation in order to feel better.

Ghosting

Ghosting is the act of suddenly and without warning withdrawing from a relationship, situation, or friendship. It is typically used as a means to avoid emotional discomfort.

Rotting

Rotting refers to the physical manifestation of mental health issues, characterized by symptoms like fatigue, exhaustion, and malaise.
