Your well-being matters. ❤️ SDSU offers mental health resources and support to help students feel heard, connected and cared for. Reaching out can be a powerful first step.

We don't need unwavering confidence to take action. We merely need to doubt our doubts.
When people are randomly assigned to question their hesitations, they become more committed to pursuing their goals.
A key to tenacity is refusing to treat feelings of insecurity as facts.

Using social media in middle school predicts lower standardized test scores in high school.
10th graders who started social media before 9th grade are ~6 months behind their peers on math & reading. They're more distracted by their phones.
No child should have access to social media.

Being prejudiced is a risk factor for mental illness.
Longitudinal evidence: When people develop racist beliefs, they become more socially isolated—and end up more depressed, anxious, and distressed over the next 6 months.
Belonging is an antidote to bigotry as well as misery.

Multitasking isn't just unproductive—it's stressful too.
Average attention on a screen has fallen from 2.5min in 2004 to 75sec in 2012 to 47sec today. Rapid switching puts our nervous systems on alert.
The best way to keep calm and carry on is to focus on one thing at a time.

People who post incessantly about politics don’t represent the population. They represent the least intelligent, least caring subset.
Data: The 2 robust predictors of online political activity are low cognitive ability and high psychopathy.
Don't mistake outliers for the norm.

We have lost too many people around this time of year to not say it: reach out to those you haven’t heard from in a while, ask them how they are really doing, grab a coffee a walk or a hike. Chances are, someone you know is in despair. It can make a difference.

Nebraska HC Matt Rhule took 3 minutes today to talk about mental health following the tragic death of #Cowboys DE Marshawn Kneeland:
“Our generation of kids — my kids — they all just say, ‘Yeah, I’m fine. I’m straight.’ You really gotta unearth it. … That young man scored a TD just a couple days ago, and to the outside world you’d think he’s at the pinnacle. But he was dealing with something — I don’t know what it was. But I pray for him, him and his family.”
Watch this in full... Incredible message:

USMNT and Real Salt Lake attacker opened up on his mental health struggles in a powerful article with The Players’ Tribune 🙏❤️
"I am gasping for air."
"I can barely speak."
"I'm calling my older brother, Armando, and I'm crying and screaming. He’s like, “Bro, relax ... What’s wrong?”
“I’m having a panic attack.”
"And I have no idea why."
"All I know is that it’s 2021, I’m 17 years old, and I’m playing for El Paso Locomotive. On the pitch, I’m living the dream. But, every other day, I’ll lock the door to my room, close the curtains and sit on the bed and cry. I’ll doomscroll in the dark for hours. I’ll stare into the wall, and my mind will spin out of control again. Why am I so unhappy? What is wrong with me?"
…
"Most people talk about mental health for adults, and that’s important. But I’m proof that young people need help just as much."
"I’ve played for three clubs in four states."
"I’ve had a son at 19."
"I can honestly say that, without help, I’d be a lost cause."
"Without therapy, I might be one of those names that make people go, “Ah yeah, Diego Luna … What happened to him?”"
