Summary

Product placement

MindByMe app (ACTS - it is a mental health app that offers calm, grounding, and 1-to-1 support, and the creator's bio link leads to its website, implying it's the product being promoted and used for mental health support. Removing it would change the video's purpose as it's the implied solution to the problems discussed).

5 signs you're slowly disconnecting from yourself... 1. You don't know what you enjoy anymore You've spent so long surviving that you've forgotten what actually makes you happy 2. You automatically say, i don't mind You let everyone else decide because you're no longer sure what you want 3. You feel like you're watching your life happen. You're physically present, but mentally you feel miles away 4. You keep yourself constantly distracted. Silence feels uncomfortable because it gives your thoughts time to catch up. 5. You don't recognise the person you've become. You've changed to cope with everything—but somewhere along the way, you lost parts of yourself
