6 Best Mental Health Advice for New College Graduates

Whether you are a fresh graduate or just about to earn your degree, one thing’s for sure: the “real world” can be scary and overwhelming. Getting thrown into the fire post-graduation can undoubtedly catch you off-guard and make it difficult to know what to do next.

Seeking advice from people who have been there and done that can help ground you and show you the way. You can ask professionals, such as your mentors or even your therapist. Or, you can ask ordinary people, who more often than not can give you advice straight from their own experience.

The advice below might also be helpful not just for fresh graduates but for pretty much everyone.

Keep Learning.

Graduating is an exciting thing, especially since it usually means you can finally begin your career. It can be even more exciting when you finally find a job and get on your road to success. In the early days, you may be eager to learn — you might ask many questions, observe people doing their jobs, and approach everything with a learning mindset. But then, after a few years, that all might change.

Unfortunately, complacency tends to set in for many people. Complacency can create a problem if allowed to proliferate for too long, making you stagnant and stopping your career climb in its tracks. To combat this, keep learning, even if it’s just by reading what’s new in your industry, doing a few online courses, or practicing new skills.

Don’t Change Your Lifestyle Instantly.

A job means money, and money means you can finally start buying all the things you’ve wanted for a while. But, chances are you might be in debt — even if you went to one of the online colleges that accept FAFSA and saved a bit of intuition.

Student debt is no joke. The sooner you can pay off your debt, the sooner you can finally live your life however you’d like — with far less stress! It might help to avoid digging yourself a deeper hole by living within your means.

Get To Know Yourself.

This advice may not feel important, but it truly is. Getting to know your personality, interests, passions, strengths and weaknesses, emotional intelligence, and more can be incredibly helpful. Having a handle on who you make it easier to make decisions that might be better for your situation. It may also help you plan your future moves so you can live life your way.

Understanding yourself can help with mental health. Knowing yourself can lead to more self-love, self-assurance, and knowing what to work on and improve. Be honest. The only person you would be cheating is you. And most of all, work for a change!

Forget the Chase for Perfection.

Chasing perfection can be more trouble than it’s worth. It can negatively affect your mental health by causing insecurity, frustration, and heaps of stress.

Learning to accept mistakes and go with the flow can help you go through life more easily. This type of mental flexibility is excellent not just for your career but also for your daily life and the relationships you form.

Don’t Rush.

Starting life after graduation can undoubtedly be exciting, but remember that there is no rush. Rushing can lead to frustration and stress, especially if you notice that you are not meeting your unrealistic expectations.

Rushing can also make you feel like you are in a race with others. It may make you compare your progress to theirs, and nothing good ever comes from comparing yourself to others.

A Little Personal Accountability Goes a Long, Long Way.

Personal accountability can teach you valuable life lessons and help you learn how to manage your mental health. According to this Psychology Today article, mental health is not hard-wired into you at birth. Instead, it is a learned set of skills that you can practice every day to help you achieve happiness or contentment.

Getting help when you feel like you’re drowning is essential, but that assistance will only temporarily help you if you don’t learn the skills you need.

Having personal accountability and accepting and learning from your mistakes can also help to free you from feelings of victimhood. It can allow you to gain experience, insight, discipline, and patience to make better decisions while giving you the tools you need to manage your mental health.

Wrapping Up

After graduation, the uncertainty of your new life can play tricks on your mind and wreak havoc on your mental health. The tips above can help you re-center and find your footing so you can slowly work your way to success.

If you find yourself struggling with your mental health, remember that you are not alone and that there is no shame in seeking help.
