My grandfather lived in Illinois with us and me and my family went to visit my grandmother in India. A Few months after visiting her she passed away. This was very hard on me. The following 2 months my grandfather whom I was extremely close with passed away while I was in India for the second time that year. We rushed back to America to attend the funeral. I cried the most I've cried in my life at his funeral. I was broken since I had only one grandparent left whom I was not very close with in my life.

Growing up as an only child I heavily struggled with self-confidence. I had lots of older cousins who were very successful and smart and looked up to them. Having no siblings I was constantly compared to them and how successful they were. This created a fear in me that I would never be able to make my parents proud. Instead of studying and working hard, I would pray that I would get better grades and be as good as my cousins. But when my expectations weren't met and I started failing classes it clicked in me. Instead of not being confident and judging my ability I realized that this semester I had to overcome my feeling of lack of worth. I had to try my best and work towards my dreams.

The ego balances between fulfilling desires and dealing with reality by considering consequences and expectations.

When I was growing up I would always love to watch tv and sometimes at night I would have the thought of sneaking downstairs and watching tv. However, I knew my parents were very strict with rules on screen time. Instead of breaking the house rules and watching TV without asking, when it was the appropriate time I would ask my parents to watch TV and they would allow me too.

Denial is when a situation is too much to handle and the person refuses to experience it

Last year I was in denial that I was physically and mentally unhealthy and needed to change my lifestyle. But I was constantly telling myself that things would automatically get better as time progressed but didn't want to make a change. I would blame my parents and my environment for all my problems but wouldn't take charge and solve my problems. The defense mechanism worked because it let me postpone my problems longer and longer without making me feel wrong for thinking a certain way.

Sublimination is when you satisfy an impulse or aggression with an object in a positive way

When I was going through depression and going through suicidal thoughts I eventually learned to channel all my problems into the gym and worked on myself physically and the Gym healed me physically and mentally. I learned that suicide wasn't the solution to my problems and that each one of us has a purpose in life and this was a wake-up call to me that I needed to work on my mental and physical health and become a stronger person. The defense mechanism did its job because it allowed me to channel all my problems into an object that was working out and satisfied my aggression.

Rationalization is when you create false excuses for your unacceptable thoughts, feelings, and behavior

One time I received a horrible grade on a test. I rationalized by telling myself that other people also received a bad grade on the test which makes it acceptable for me to also receive a bad grade on that test. The defense mechanism does its trick because it makes me feel better about the unacceptable behavior justifing why I got a bad grade on the test.
