i havee gone through this for the past 2.5 years. Oct 2021 I woke up and said I hit all the goals I ever craved in life. I was like what is the point of living. I stopped my business and It died. I tried eating healthy and working on my mental health. Nothing was working. I became discontent. I became actionless. I am rebuilding myself once again and learning to live once again. I am learning to take small actions and I am starting to feel more and more connected once again.
Hi there! I can relate completely with some experiences you’ve shared. It’s inspiring to know that not only you have setting yourself free but also talking about this process. 🙏
This is really making sense! Thanks for sharing this!
Thank you so much. Just love what you’ve said here. So helpful and timely! 😊
I came across your old channel, and I must say you're one of the best I've seen. Meaning in life is a topic that I also want to talk about. Hence, I don't only travel; I travel and inspire.
Hearing you talk was admirable. Your flawless talking skills, profound knowledge, and passion for what you do will guide you (again) to what you're seeking. Keep up that momentum, energy, and passion. I am a fan here.
Very much appreciated.
Awesome video, so raw and real. I love your content mate.
I happened to read the same books and like the same authors mentioned in this video, except you really applied the principles to what could be relative in our own life while I was intellectually enjoying the messages. I feel resonated in what you said. Thanks for inspiration and I would like to get ready for the challenge soon!
Thank you
dude this was sick. I never knew this side of you! I've been following you for years now (from your og channel) and love what you put out. Much love.
Thank you for honestly sharing your feeling and experience. So glad you found a way out of depression and unhappiness. It's quite hard that it lasted so long for you. I'm currently at your stage 3, music and active learning are saving me at the moment. Even though I never felt freedom in my life, I'm similar to you that responsibility and meaning is important to me. The video you're creating helps people like me a lot, you're doing meaningful things. Your existence alone is meaningful. Thank you. Please be happy! p.s. are you INFJ?
I don't want to leave a massive comment talking about how I feel I can relate because lets be honest no one really cares that doesnt know me, but if it's any consolation I have fond memories of watching your old videos and they really used to inspire me.
One of the best videos I’ve ever seen. In a scarily similar situation. Thank you for putting this out into the world 🙌
Favorite content creator :)
Just what I needed to see this morning. Thank you
One of the best videos I've seen. I totally relate to this! Thank you so much for bringing this subject and sharing your experience 🙏
This was beautiful brother, thank you 🙏🏼
I totally relate to what you've shared in this video and yes finding this internal drive and purpose are key things for happiness! I have realised this in my life and I did start a creative project myself because of that, also a content creator! Such a Great Video 👏🏻👏🏻
Hey Thomas! Long time fan here. I want to say that depression is coming for everyone of us at some point. Doesnt really matter you are successful or not. Maybe is stronger when you see your dreams coming true and you don't feel the way you was thinking gonna be.
I agree. Depression is complicated. Trauma, uncertainty,
being held captive (the opposite of freedom), sickness, poverty, etc. are also an obvious cause of depression, a more reactional one, as you feel that way for external reasons. Then there are internal reasons, chemical ones too, and not-so-obvious factors. It's not easy. Lots of times is a combination of them all. We all have it so different that there's no definite answer to how to overcome or avoid depression. But we can try, and be kind to ourselves, to forgive ourselves for the way we feel, an almost never ending struggle between having that feeling of knowing at last how to beat depression and then failing again and losing a sense of meaning and purpose, and, oh, why we were so excited about something that didn't make us peaceful as we hoped. To me right now is about Finding Beauty, through my camera, in nature, like it's almost therapy, but then, the more I share it, the more it becomes something else, something that loses its original meaning. It makes sense that the more you share something with others the less it stays as what you thought it meant, it belongs to others too, and its meaning changes, evolves, or gets out of control. And that can become challenging and confusing, at least to me. I'm sorry for babbling. I wish you, and Thomas the best.
Very interesting ideas and thinking, and insightful to see how the whole 'freedom business' dream we were all chasing has played out for you. Thanks for sharing. 👍
DAY2 OF TALK TO CAMERA just ended , and i am here again......
Cracking video, Thomas. Thank you.
Hi, Thomas! I was there when you launched your first existential crisis video and I love that you are in a better place now.
Right now, I am in a similar place to the one you were in, having achieved a lot of what I thought I wanted, and lost hope of other things now I know are impossible, and lost all sense of meaning. But your experience gives me a prospect for a better place and I you bet I will be reading Frankl's book. Thanks for the recommendation.
Great video man. I really appreciate your content, it’s helped me a lot with starting my own channel. You inspired me to do a 30 day talking to camera challenge and, although I don’t have the money to do your course, the experience has been really important for me. Thanks a lot mate.
Thank you.💗
i needed this so much, thank you
Happiness is just an emotion, it's better to seek to be content, because that's something you can be 24/7. Happiness also comes from helping others, I'm Muslim so helping other humans, animals, the earth is a responsibility for me but I think helping other humans can also be fulfilling for non-religious people too, even if it something seemingly small like being the reason they smile that day, or removing a stone from their path.
Hey Thomas Am from Africa, Am a college student and I also want to join the 30 day camera challenge but am really struggling with finances, so am disappointed that I cannot join that course😢😢 I really have a passion of starting my own channel, any advice?
Whopper video!!!
Thank you
