Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Be positive. Practice mindfulness or meditation. Write about your stress.

Answer: Even though you're young and not going through the best of times it is important to stay positive. Positivity will help you change your mind set about the situation, which can help to reduce your stress levels. Sometimes spending too much time on social media (Facebook, Instagram, SnapChat, Vine, Twitter, etc) can lead to comparing ourselves to others and feelings of jealously or low self-esteem. If you feel negative emotions when you are online or on social media, try taking a 15 minute break (or more if you can do it) and focus on doing something positive (such as drawing, talking with a friend in person, or riding your bike). Use positive self-talk, such as, "I have been successful with my efforts in the past. If I put my mind to passing this test, I can do well." Have a positive attitude by changing your bad thoughts. Some examples of bad thoughts are, "I am going to fail. I can't do this." Try to think different thoughts like, "I am going to try by best, and I know I can get through this." See the difference? Say the happy thoughts to yourself when you are feeling stressed. Focus on what you do well instead of what you do wrong. You could draw a flower, and on the petals write positive things about yourself or what you do, like: I am loving, I tried my best, and I am nice to animals. Avoid saying bad things out loud. Stop using words like "won't," "can't," "always," and "never." Try instead to use the words "will," "can," "most of the time," and, "not very often." Mindfulness meditation can help lower stress over time. Mindfulness is about focusing on what you are doing or feeling right now. Stop and notice what is happening in this moment. First, notice the feeling you are experiencing. What does it feel like in your body? Does it feel tense, is your heart beating fast, do you have butterflies in your stomach? Next, name the emotion. Are you stressed, overwhelmed, anxious? Then, accept the emotion as natural and normal. The more you accept your emotion the less power it will have over you. You can say to your emotion, "I accept you, stress. Even though I don't like how you feel, I know that you may happen sometimes and I will learn to deal with you." Try using bubbles to practice deep breathing. This can help to calm you down. Try to slowly blow one big bubble; this helps you learn how to use your deep breathing in a fun way! Writing down your feelings and thoughts can help you work through your problems and get your emotions out instead of keeping them inside of you. Find a clean paged notebook or diary to write in and write down what you are feeling. Write a letter to the thing that is bothering you such as a math test. Tell the math test how you are thinking and feeling as if the test were a person. You could write something like, "Math test- you make me so stressed out, but I really want to get a good score." If you don't like to write you could draw a picture that shows how you are feeling.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Consider whether your occupation or social life is functioning (Criterion B). Think about how you handle your job. Reflect on your relationships with other people. Think about your self-care behaviors.

Answer: The second criterion for a schizophrenia diagnosis is "social/occupational dysfunction." This dysfunction must be present for a significant portion of the time since you began displaying symptoms. Many conditions can cause dysfunction in your work and social life, so even if you're experiencing trouble in one or more of these areas, it doesn't necessarily mean you have schizophrenia. One or more areas of "major" functioning must be impaired: Work/Academics Interpersonal relations Self-care One of the criteria for "dysfunction" is whether you are able to fulfill the requirements of your job. If you're a full-time student, your ability to perform in school could be considered. Consider the following: Do you feel psychologically able to leave the house to go to work or school? Have you had a hard time coming in on time or showing up regularly? Are there parts of your work that you now feel afraid to do? If you are a student, is your academic performance suffering? This should be considered in light of what is normal for you. If you've always been a reserved person, not wanting to socialize isn't necessarily a sign of dysfunction. However, if you've noticed your behaviors and motivations change to things that aren't "normal" for you, this could be something to speak with a mental health professional about. Do you enjoy the same relationships you used to? Do you enjoy socializing in the way you used to? Do you feel like talking with others significantly less than you used to? Do you feel afraid or intensely worried about interacting with others? Do you feel like you're being persecuted by others, or that others have ulterior motives toward you? "Self-care" refers to your ability to take care of yourself and remain healthy and functional. This should also be judged within the realm of "normal for you." So, for example, if you usually work out 2-3 times per week but haven't felt like going in 3 months, this could be a sign of disturbance. The following behaviors are also signs of lapsed self-care: You have started or increased abusing substances such as alcohol or drugs You don't sleep well, or your sleep cycle varies widely (e.g., 2 hours one night, 14 hours the next, etc.) You don't "feel" as much, or you feel "flat" Your hygiene has gotten worse You don't take care of your living space

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Read the news regularly. Use articles to challenge the way you think. Work on accepting your feelings. Act on news that you care about. Meditate

Answer:
Develop a news reading routine that you feel you can stick to. This will help you keep informed about current events and allow you to practice awareness regularly. Maybe the first 20 minutes of your workday can be devoted to news reading, or you decide to read one article that interests you every day after dinner. It doesn't matter what your routine is so much as that you stick to it. Seek out articles that challenge your normal thinking. It can help to question why you believe something or if the belief always holds true for you. Sometimes your natural tendency may be to only read articles that confirm your feelings on a certain issue. Try to use reading the news as a chance to push yourself outside your comfort zone. For example, you might decide to read a story about the daily life of a death-row prisoner to challenge your thoughts about the criminal-justice system. Exposing yourself to different points of view can give you a deeper understanding of the world. Even if you find your views on an issue do not change, a willingness to consider other perspectives can help you grow. Reading the news can sometimes feel uplifting and sometimes feel troubling. No matter how the day's news makes you feel, make some time to process and accept those emotions when you are finished reading. Reading about difficult events on the news can be distressing. To cope, try turning your emotions into actions. You can donate money, volunteer your time or collect resources. This is a great way to help out your local community or even people in another country many miles away. For example, if a news story about the future of the Arctic depresses you, consider making a donation to an organization that works to preserve polar bear habitats. This would be a healthy way of processing your negative emotions. If you feel sad after reading about a lack of resources at your local school, you might volunteer there once a week to help fix the problem. after reading the news. Sit somewhere quiet and close your eyes for 5 minutes immediately after reading the news. Reading the news can give you a lot to think about, and clearing your head can help you carry on with your day. Focus on breathing in and out. Let your thoughts come and go without delving deeper until you feel calm.
