mental health tips

with all this going on. A question arises, ,,What affect will this have on the mental health of Indians if the situation gets worse?"

obviously it depends on the people, some are extremely insensitive and some are the opposite. I am not a psychologist or a therapist, I'm speaking what affects could happen based on personal experience, past life and what I've observed others go through.

TW: serious topics about mental health, mental disorders mentioned ahead.

Extremely sensitive people

For them, it's a very sad and depressing explanation. Extremely sensitive people can over think about the situation. They'll blame themselves for not being able to help or be able to know what was going on earlier. This could also cause panick attack disorder.

They're emotions would be out of control sobbing, crying and self blame. Some may go as far as harming themselves which if they do, it could slowly but gradually ruin their physical health as well.

Now, this could also cause PTSD. Extremely sensitive people would have PTSD when it comes to even a bit of violence, too loud noises but terrified if its too quiet at the same time, guns, officers, certain days which affected them most, not knowing what's going on, blood, etc. It could also cause anxiety and severe depression. Which could lead to suicidal thoughts and worse. They'd have breakdowns if someone talks about the situation.

The constant self hate and self blame would be unimaginable for us and unbearable for them.

Sensitive people

Some people are sensitive, but not as much. But this could have serious affects on them.

They'd have a lot of guilt of the situation. PTSD and panick attack disorder is a possibility if it hit them too hard. Depression and constant anxiety would be there for them.

They'd feel scared if they heard anything violent or bad happening in their area. Constant flashbacks and inability to forget about it. They'd move on eventually but it would still be there in the back of their mind, haunting them forever.

There would be self blame, self hate and in some cases even self harm. But they wouldn't have to guts to actually do self harm, just the thoughts of it.

NOTE: if you sensitive then just know, we all are in this together. We are here to help and we will not back down.

Insensitive people

They'd not care much, but there would be serious affects on them.

Slightest of noises would be enough to make them flinch. Constant fear of something terrible happening that would affect them the same way, or even worse.

Their behavior would become more harsh and they'd almost never seem happy. Mostly rude because they're scared of trusting people. It can lead to either truth issues or anger issues.

They'd be scared of loosing someone close to them and wouldn't have the guts to know what's happening ever again.

NOTE: if your insensitive, don't worry, your also a human being and people still care about you. Keep being you and we're gonna figure out a way to keep as many people as we can safe.

Extremely insensitive people

Little to no affects on them.

if there are any affects, it's most probably fear of it happening again and this time actually hurting them badly. And some over thinking. And it could cause anger issues

Even more harsh and rude behaviour. First impressions of them would be rude, overly sarcastic or a bad person.
