Ways to support Queer Youth

Use LGBT Affirming language - Language has a huge impact on the way we see others and ourselves, and yet, language is constantly changing. That is why it is important to familiarize yourself and keep up-to-date with LGBT-related terms and concepts

Be visible - support lgbt student groups, correct others, attend events, post things, make your space visible, have books by and about queer folks

Know their challenges - who are the bullies, what is happening that might impact queer students?

Know the resources - websites, counselors, community centers, role models, peers

Help them socially connect Volunteer or give back in other ways

00:19:00 Mental Moment with Money

What is a trigger?

Triggers are people, words, opinions, situations, or environmental situations that provoke an intense and excessive emotional reaction within us. Common emotions that we experience while being triggered include anger, rage, sadness, and fear. Virtually anything can trigger us, a trigger depends on the experience.

https://lonerwolf.com/emotional-triggers/

Why do we get triggered?

2 main reasons

Trauma –We get triggered when we see, hear, taste, touch, or smell something that reminds us of the previous traumatic circumstance. For example, a rape victim might be triggered when they see a person with a beard bc their attacker had a beard. An adult who never fit in as a child may feel triggered when seeing groups of people have fun.

Ego preservation – The ego is the sense of self or “I” we carry around. When our egos are challenged or hurt by others, we are prone to becoming triggered – immediately.

Type A or B?

Often used as holistic personality descriptors, these personality typologies refer specifically to how we respond to stress.

Type A - Type A achievement for achievement sake. Leadership is important to type A’s. They are self driven.

Type B - People with Type B personality by definition generally live at a lower stress level and typically work steadily, enjoying achievement but not becoming stressed when they are not achieved.

Type C - People with type C personality have difficulty expressing emotion and tends to suppress emotions, particularly negative ones such as anger. This means such individual also display 'pathological niceness,'

Medical journals even use type D for “distressed” (has all of the worry of type a, with all of the lack of time management of type B) and type E, for someone who fits into none of the above categories.

Rock away anxiety with these helpful rocks.

Amethyst - Natural amethyst is known for its calming and relaxing properties, making it one of the best, if not the number one crystal for managing stress. You can place the crystal under your pillow or in your bedroom to help calm and soothe your energy if anxiety keeps you up at night

Sodalite - Often referred to as “the Stone of Peace," Sodalite is said to help calm the mind and ease panic attacks. If you've been feeling anxious in any way, tuck this royal blue beauty in your purse or pocket, as it carries a comforting energy that is helpful in preventing us from becoming overly wound up and emotional. Having trouble expressing yourself? Sodalite is also believed to stimulate self-confidence and aid in self-expression, so keep it close any time you're feeling nervous about sharing your thoughts and ideas with others.

Howlite - Lack of sleep is one of the largest contributing factors to feeling stressed. If you’re experiencing problems falling asleep at night, try tucking a white Howlite under your pillow, as it’s calming energy is believed to help with insomnia especially when the root cause is an overactive mind.

Mental Moment:

How do you break? You probably can name several ways you push through, persevere, and grind, but do you know what replenishes your energy? How do you relax?

Naps are reparations!

Take small breaks when working (Pomodoro Method)

Sunlight can help you rest

Daydream

Catch up with a loved one

Stay in your pajamas all day!

[add to this list with things that help you rest and restore]
