83 Shocking Psychological Warning Signs You’re Ignoring Right Now—And What They Could Cost You
Some examples of behaviour that suggest orthorexia are: cutting out more and more food groups in an effort to be healthy; talking obsessively about “bad” or “impure” food; feeling very guilty and ashamed about eating “bad” food and potentially purging (making yourself sick) as a result or restricting further to “make up for it”, fasting if “good” food isn’t available rather than eating “bad” food, etc. People who have symptoms of orthorexia may also exercise excessively, sometimes past the point of exhaustion or injury.
I want to clarify that I am not saying people shouldn’t aim to eat healthily or do exercise. Instead, this is more of a heads up that eating healthily should not be a defining part of your day/life. Moderation is important! And if it is medically recommended that you cut certain things from your diet, please do work with your doctor/medical professionals to ensure you do this in a way that is safe.

Constant, irrational, automatic distrust of their romantic partner. Many people have normalized paranoia and unhealthy distrust in relationships. It doesn’t have to be that way.
I’m pretty sure Having feelings that change from exstatic to near s******l over the course of mere hours, almost every day, is pretty bad.
Shadow people. One question we asked was if they ever saw, heard or smelled anything others didnt. This came up more often than you might think.
New nurse here! Did my rotation for mental health and one patient in particular took quite an interest in me, he was very polite and very kind, he was chatting up a storm, answered everyone’s questions and repeatedly asked my name. Later, we got to look at patients files and I got his. He had a psychotic break and started hearing God. She told him her name was Courtney and that She had chosen him and he was to find Her and marry Her.
Guess what my first name is. Courtney. They ended up moving me to another part of the hospital after that because he was quite interested. Can confirm: I am definitely not God. Way too much responsibility.
Most people are f****d (or think they are) due to an overload of comparing themselves to others. This has always existed but because of social media it follows us. All day. Every day.
I’m not a psychologist but this makes the most sense to me. I’ve never seen so many people feel so lost in my life before and this only has happened in the last 5-6 years as social media sites like FB and Instagram blew up in popularity.
Tell me I’m wrong because I seriously think this is one of the biggest reasons.
Getting stressed every day. Youd be surprised how many people just say “No it’s okay my job is just stressful.” Or other similar excuses. So many health issues arise from stress.
Or prolonged unmotivation. Not wanting to do things.
Disassociating with friends. Current friend of mine is having real struggles emotionally and mentally. We’re still talking but he’s been distancing himself from other people. We reach breakthroughs every now and then, but it’s been difficult.
Trauma reactions – they are very normal for the situation but are not healthy or easy to deal with without help. Our bodies and brains hoard survival responses so I see a lot of people struggling with unhealthy coping skills or habits that at one point kept them safe and helped them survive. This can range from large mood swings, emotional or physical disassociation, difficulty connecting with ones physical or emotional being, and difficulty identifying triggers. I get a lot of childhood a***e survivors who have had issues in therapy before due to this – if your therapist goes in assuming you are able to connect with and name feelings, identify what is weighing on you, etc, they won’t be very helpful.
Also my normal therapy PSA is whenever possible please don’t wait. There is no such thing as an issue too small for therapy but waiting can cause something to morph into a way bigger issue. I know for a variety of reasons that isn’t always feasible but if you can, please do!
