Holding you in mind with love and compassion. 🙏

Please don't give up. You are worth it!! I've had my share of psychologists, too. Keep searching.

Sending you big hugs. Although I have family, I am alone. They don't care nor can relate to my grief. My sisters (twins) are the meanest, most cruel, evil, heartless people I've personally known. I also have no friends. I relate and feel your pain.

Thank you! 🙏

Thank you! 🙏

My heart and love goes out to you, I'm deeply sorry to hear of your loss. ❤

How did your daughter pass away?

🙏

Know that I am thinking and praying for you.

People keep asking me what’s wrong. I can’t hardly talk. I’m a only child. Mom was a orphan. She got vascular dementia and died in my arms 11 days ago. I worked overseas for decades. I never married so mom was my all mother and best friend. I caretaked for her 24/7. I tried to hire outside people but medical as this lady speaks will make you turn away and I learned how to do everything. We had 3 dogs 2 of them died while she was dying So when someone says I’m sorry for your lose? It makes me cry all over again. Yesterday I ate 1 meal and tried to eat again and got sick. I had played it out in my head several times a day and I’m a military person so I thought moms better off. When she started leaving on a Saturday I mopped my floors cooked 1 of her favorite meals. And I ate andd so just couldn’t be ok. I held her and when she blew her last breath. I could feel my body changing. Because I’ve been so isolated here and not knowing really know anyone. I’ve been alone in various hemispheres. But for some reason I almost think I’ve been erased I don’t or can’t just pretend I’m good. I’ve got to face myself without mom. I want to I’m sorry for your loss. I need to do something but I’m clueless

Kevin, I'm so sorry. How are you doing today? Sending love and hugs.❤

God bless you please get out of your shell ❤

Hang in there! You will be happy again, sorry for your loss!!!!

Hello Lolly. I paused and have stopped listening to Dr Joanne so I could completely focus on what you have shared. I read your words in silence because I wanted to feel the full impact of everything you have shared here. I realize that so much of what I could say or what others may attempt to say may indeed sound trite or perhaps similar to platitudes and I do not want this to be the case here. I truly understand your pain and sense of deep loss. I agree with you in everything you wrote regarding others opinions and how this society in general offers so little to you. I know, there are no words that can fully describe your experience. There are however other cultures around the world that are not antiseptically fear based when their people are confronted with loss. The Tibetans readily come to mind as well as India. There are others. I am moved and attempting to offer support and for you to feel heard. I realize all of what I'm saying here falls short even though I am sincere. I wish for you, peace and comfort.

Thank you for sharing so openly, truly my heart goes out to you. Dr Joanne's approach is a breath of fresh air, and one I hope someday society can come to embrace. It breaks my heart how people become isolated during their grief because of the discomfort of others, I hope and wish this can change. I wish you well in all ways. 🧡

I can understand how you feel. Mental Illness causes a lot of anguish to many people. Its a sickness. And it can't be ignored. Medications don't always work either and that's frustrating.I'm so sorry for your pain.One day we both will be able to be happy again. I do wish it would hurry but know we have to embrace our grief. This grief consumes my life right now. I'm obsessed with my husband right now. I know that will change somewhat. I was a nurse and never realized the impact at all had on a human being until I walked in those shoes. But I feel it will get better at some point for both of us. Ill keep you in my prayers for a long time...

Thank you! 🧡

Thank you! 🧡

Sorry for your loss. 💐

Deeply sorry to hear this, my heart goes out to you 🧡

Sending you my heart ❤️ felt condolences xx

I am so sorry for your loss. We lost our only son 7 weeks back- i can imagine what you are going through

We've never always used brain and mind interchangeably. And he loves the physical sciences. I guess it's true that if your mind is warped, anything entering it will get twisted en route. And if you call questioning the fact that psychology doesn't even acknowledge mental perception an axe to grind, then I don't know what to tell you. Maybe listen instead of looking for ways to argue 🤷‍♂️ And why then if neuroscience is of such benefit, has depression increased by 1000 percent since their inception 60 years ago while at the same time, the number of mental health care professionals has also increased by 1000 %?

Maybe wake up (experience the waking state lucidly) and cut all this back and forth at the root? Realize that without conceptual designations, there are no objects, that is there is nothing that has something else (other than your labels) as a property. Now there's a revolution of the mind sciences that you should be concerning yourself with.

@@ezeeproproperties8352 Alan's stats are partly wrong. First, depression is actually worse in the poorest countries. Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest rates of depression in the world. Second, we are correctly diagnosing depression at a much higher rate today, whereas back in the day people just grinned and bore it and were miserable, committed suicide - which was also much higher in the early 20th Century - or drank. He is right that depression has increased - but only since the financial crisis and the rise of social media in 2008. In April, I'm going to get focused ultrasound at Sunnybrook Hospital in Canada on a deep structure in my brain to help shut off my OCD and in general quiet my brain. 20 years of meditation has had no effect on the OCD. Should I do this procedure, according to you? Focused ultrasound on the basal ganglia in a study at the U of Arizona has also shown tremendous results. Several 50-year meditators have had it done and reported the deepest states of mental quiet they have ever experienced. It works wonders for novice meditators too. In other research centres, they're also targetinng the amygdala for anxiety. In another study, researchers used deep brain stimulation to 'wind down' the activity in another part of the brain associated with the mental commentary on pain, in terminally ill cancer patients. The procedure was so effective that the people who had it done found that they didn't need morphine anymore until the very last weeks of their lives. Here is a quote from the Dalai Lama when he addressed a neuroscience conference in 2005: _"If it was possible to become free of negative emotions by a riskless implementation of an electrode - without impairing intelligence and the critical mind - I would be the first patient."_ Everything is impermanent, even the skillful means of Buddhism. And even Buddhism.

@@ezeeproproperties8352 Depression has not increased by 1000% (where did you get that figure - can I have sources?) in 60 years. Do you really think people were less depressed when they couldn't feed their kids and worked themselves to the bone 12 hours a day? Or fought in WW2? Or whatever? The _diagnosis_ of depression has increased by a great deal, because there are more professionals around to deal with it. PTSD wasn't even a term until 1975. And so on. Neuroscience hasn't been of much benefit to us yet because it is very complex, and the tools that can effectively make use of it are just starting to become practical - transcranial magnetic stimulation, focused ultrasound etc. It's hard. The subject is very complex. I can tell you this much - I have suffered horribly from OCD for 20 years, and nothing, absolutely nothing I tried could do anything about it. Not meditation, not healers, not psychedelics, not nothing. It was a HUGE obstacle to my dharma practice. It led to doctor-prescribed addiction, which caused vastly _more_ problems. I had to go into detox for the addiction. Then I got focused ultrasound to destroy a tiny nerve cluster deep in my brain associated with OCD. I felt very tired for a month afterwards. But my OCD symptoms declined drastically as my whole brain rewired around the change over the course of a year. More than 10,000 hours of meditation was able to do. My quality of life has vastly improved. Neuroscience enabled this to happen. So what do you have to say about that? If neuroscience can do this much already, what will it be able to do eventually? This is the faintest glimmer of what's coming. I expect that you won't answer this question, because it's too much of a challenge to what you wrote, but grow a backbone and give me an answer, buddy.

Direct and wonderful as always 😃We join you in that wish 🙏

Thank you for watching! 🙏

Very true Maria, change must come from within. Thank you for watching 🙏

Thanks for watching! 🙏
