It is never a funny thing watching your assets get halved in value and all you have to do is Hodl.
To be really honest with ourselves these days are times when we must actually consider our mental health.
Is it mentally healthy to hodl when even what you hold onto for subsistence is vanishing right before your eyes.
Buying the dip and going dipper
The average crypto bro is probably buying the deep instead in such a situation and considers this to be the best move to make at such a time as this.
What exactly is the healthy move to make, both in a dip or in an all-time high, your mental status needs to be constantly reassessed for you to make the right decisions.
Coping mechanisms have been overtime detected in many people especially when they're passing through situations that are not conducive enough for their health.
It is never a wrong decision to hodl, but clearly do your research for the sake of your mental health.
Whenever you "this is no financial advice".. it is meant to speak to your psyche to consider every aspect before jumping in. It saves you from breakdowns as the case may be.
It's no surprise that a lot of people would have considered calling it off or making the hard decision to isolate themselves but I just want everyone to realise that suicide is never the option.
Before one begins to contemplate on committing suicide there are signs that can be traced which can help to detect tendencies.
First they begin to isolate themselves from other people this could be because of the depressed state they are in or due to a condition known as anhedonia where the seize to derive joy from the things they used to get your from initial.
This isolation phase brings them to the point of them being alone and this helps to populate the ideation of ending it. It is usually advised for such people to always keep company and talk to people.
There is also the preparatory phase where they plan and prepare for the mode by which they want to use to end it so they either get the materials they require, some get a rope others may even go ahead to purchase a firearm some others such as toxic materials or substances that can be used.
All of these usually surrounds the period when they have made the decision.
Also in the preparatory phase some my beginning to consider writing a suicide note which would be discovered after the deed been done they may also begin to give out they are precious materials to people or write a will alotting their various properties to people. Some might be full of a lot of good deeds hoping to help another person at such times while others may not even consider any of this.
Another way to detect them is when they begin to search for place is most suitable for the act claim against considered quiet places or high places to jump down or places that are very noisy to use a firearm undetected or even times when no one is around to use a toxic substance on themselves.
All of these are mostly locked up in the minds as they never really speak of it.
Looking out for others
We may think it doesn't concern us if someone chooses to end their life for whatever reason, but it does. That person belongs to a network o parents, family and may even have kids. You help a lot. And most of them after being saved from an attempted suicide come back to their senses to realise what they wanted to do was very stupid.
SUICIDE IS SELFISH
I believe choosing to take one's life is a very selfish and self centred idea. You don t get to see things from different perspectives, just only that things aren't going well with you.
Considering others would really be hard. As there would be no will power to do so.
So much more needs to be spoken about this but suicide is never an option. There is got to be something more. They may not be able to bring this to their thought and hence need to talk to someone.
But when you ask most people how they are . They always say "fine".
Fine just means.. good enough to make you not to worry about me. Or .. not that you wanna know.
How do you make someone really want to tell you how they feel without making it a cliche?
