mental health
hey everyone.....my life is going good right now and i hope it stays that way haha...my teacher wants us to write stuff about our positive,negative,and what we use for defense mechanism.The positive things that make me feel good are church,family,friends,basketball,and school.But then the negative things that make me stressed are detentions in school,a lot of homework from school,and the the teachers that give me a lot of problems.I also get stressed at home when my uncle tells me to do the things i dont feel like doing.The top three defense mechanisms i use are Rationalization,Regression,and Conversion.The one i mostly use is Rationalization because i mostly make excuses to people that tells me to do the things i dont want to do.The reason why i use Rationalization is because i do not want to do the things that people do to get into trouble for.

Tyne,
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a list for your positives, and I am pretty glad to see school up there as one. I understand though the amount of stress that can come from it, it seems we have to take the good with the bad. You really nailed Rationalization down, I have to admit that is mechanism I use most often as well. Sometimes it seems easier to make excuses for ourselves than deal with it head on. I wish I had the perfect answer or solution for rationalization but I think we just have to keep watching and pushing ourselves, making sure we dont slip up too much. Nice job on this post by the way.
