What to do after I leave for senior
For context my parents moved to the country side in 2020 in the pandemic back then I never wanted to go to the country side I missed my friends and I worked hard to get back to the city I dreamed of it alot even though I had friends I wondered if I'm missing out teen life in the city since I always thought of it as better until I questioned what makes teen hood special after finding it out I appreciated more about my life in the country side with my friends and family enjoying every Lil thing but now since I'm moving back to the city for senior year of high school I'm conflicted since I always wanted this and it means I don't need to farming and stuff but I know I'll miss my friends and more
Since I always believed you will only cherish things once it's lost so when I leave I'll cherish my friends more just like what happened in the start of all this
I'm asking for help since I have 1 school year left before leaving how do I make it more enjoyable and memorable?
Also I know I will visit them in the summer but I worry about having weak connection to them like not chatting anymore or just chatting less since I experienced this before so how do I deal with that when I leave?
Is senior high really that better in the city?

How to stop believing hurtful and false information from family members?
I want to be able to tune out or stop believing in what my family members are saying about me. I want to know how to just stop believing and be able to stop letting it have such a hold on me. It's causing so much stress and bad mental health that I'm ready to move away from them. I view them as negative people. I can't stop getting upset or feeling this hold that they would give false information that they would do something to me. What information can you give me to help me stop believing this?

The 3 Essential Positive Tips to Increase Self-Esteem
Do you love yourself? Are there traits that you dislike about yourself? What do you wish you could change in your life?
It is unsettling effortless how we can impact our mind with negative thoughts, but did you know that you can practice boosting your low self-esteem? Oftentimes, people tend to struggle to surround themselves with a positive environment, positive thinking, and positive goals to achieve.
The importance of boosting low self-esteem is a major key part of your life. Do you currently have healthy relationships such as family, friends, acquaintances, or co-workers? Do you have any healthy beliefs about life and yourself? How is your general well-being? Asking yourself these crucial questions opens up your mind to new thoughts and ideas. Higher self-esteem is known to improve coping skills towards challenges, overall positive mental health, and handling adversity. Therefore, high self-esteem matters, and building our self-esteem can go a long way.
Risks of lower self-esteem can lead to high amounts of unhealthy stress, lower social interactions or connections, fewer coping skills being used to face challenges, looking at life with a negative perspective, and smaller issues evolving into much greater issues.
Let’s explore some easy ways to boost our self-esteem.

A guide to building healthy relationships with DID/OSDD systems
I discovered that a close friend of mine had DID 5 years ago. Due to my lack of knowledge on the disorder at the time, I wasn’t very supportive and just wanted things to go back to normal. But as time progressed, I looked up resources, found support groups and have enjoyed learning from lived-experience stories everyday. If you have a close one who experiences DID, it can be quite disorienting at first, but over time, it can help open your perception and become more tolerant of differences. I applaud you for trying your best to support them. Showing trust and willingness to learn, practicing open communication are good ways to support others with various mental issues, especially with DID. Here are some tips to support a loved one with DID:
