83 Shocking Psychological Warning Signs You’re Ignoring Right Now—And What They Could Cost You
Bi-Polar (Although it is more like Hypomania when I’m on meds and in a good place.).
Little kids think voices in their head is normal because in the movies they have seen that angel and devil sitting on your shoulders. These voices in their head usually makes their decisions.
Being sad all the time. I’ve met too many people who act like “that’s just how it is”. Same with being angry all the time.
Being overly restless is something people could stand to get checked out more often (I know it helped me).
I also feel like too many people think it’s normal to have lots of familial conflict. It isn’t. If your family is always fighting, especially if your kids never quit fighting, get some family counselling. Would’ve saved a lot of families I’ve known.
As a patient… go talk to someone when emotions, feelings, mental states etc that you’d typically classify into a “normal experience”, such as “everyone gets sad”, “everyone gets anxious”, or “everyone gets distracted” are happening more frequently or you’re staying in them longer than you feel comfortable with/it’s harming your quality of life.
Just like having a migraine once or twice in a year isn’t necessarily concerning, but having a migraine almost every day is. Mental health doesn’t always separate into good and bad. More often, experiencing said emotion/mental state is necessary but too much or two little can really hurt.
When someone is controlling, emotionally explosive, and reverts to ultimatums to get their way, and seems to lack empathy, they could be on the narraccistic spectrum.
Also when someone is very clingy and makes you feel the world to them but then there’s this tug of war of I hate you and they explode at you. They’re most likely bipolar or borderline personality disorder.
If how you feel is causing you distress, go see someone. If you feel ashamed or embarrassed, like you’re failing, wishing you didn’t exist, abnormal or out of control. A normal and healthy emotional response should be balanced and rational. If you find yourself exploding over little things or spiralling; linking a long string of negative thoughts together then therapy can help. Equally if nothing bothers you and you don’t react logically to things then you should also see someone.
I’m a cognitive behavioural therapist. Every way of thinking is normal (we develop thinking patterns based on life experiences) but they are not all effective. Lots of people spend big parts of their lives feeling consistently anxious, of low mood or being very down on themselves. They often shrug this off as “just the way it is”. But everyone has a lot of scope for positive change. You don’t need to have a full psychological disorder (DSM5 diagnosis) to seek counselling/ therapy. If anybody out there feels they can benefit go for it.
That having a decent childhood still means it’s ok to feel upset or dissapointed about the things that may not have been too great.
One thing is when everybody around you seems to be mistreating you. If they always seem to make you sad, or disregard your wants and emotions, or being rude or looking down on you. Your friends, your family, your workmates, the woman at the shop, every one mistreats you.
This is an interesting thing, because it can signify two very different things. It could either mean that you are in a very difficult situation, which you might need help getting out of, or it is actually you who interprets things in a certain way (and acting according to that interpretation), which you might need help to break out of. Either way, it is probably a good idea to get it checked out.
Not a shrink, but obsessive scratching or picking at the skin and hair of your arms. It wasn’t me doing it, and the person in question was going to the doctor for an unrelated issue, when the doctor spotted the sores on the crook of her elbow and asked about it.
I’m a psychiatrist and I tend to find the opposite. People terrified they have something wrong with them when the way they feel is completely normal given their circumstances…
Intrusive thoughts that make you believe you are going to act out on them to the point you do anything for a distraction.
I started singing songs in my head, avoided newspapers with awful front covers because I wouldn’t see the person on those covers, I’d replace them with “what if I do that?”
Yeah it’s a real f****d up type of OCD and I didn’t know I had it for five years.
People who keep thinking that nobody likes them or has plans to embarrass them? That isn’t normal and can be really affecting their everyday lives.
An inability to self-reflect without resorting to blame. Another one would be regular overwhelming emotions that result in negative decisions and behaviours. Defensive behaviours.
Not a psychologist, therapist, or councilor but this is something I wished people paid more attention to: going from straight As to Cs and Ds.
My therapist/psychologist recently informed me that no, it’s not normal for you to be considered a manipulative mastermind by your parents for being tough to potty train at three years old. Among many, many other things.

Some parents are in denial that kids are on the spectrum. If your kid is high functioning but refuses to p**p in the toilet, that kid still needs treatment.
