- My Honest Story of Depression on My First Merchant Navy Ship!
I'm opening up and sharing my dark, yet transformative, story of my first-time experience as a cadet on a merchant navy ship. Join me as I delve into the challenges, the lessons, and the growth that unfolded during this intense journey.
Being away from home for the first time as a cadet in the merchant navy was a rollercoaster of emotions. I experienced homesickness like never before, longing for the familiar comforts of my loved ones. The isolation and unfamiliar environment tested my mental resilience, pushing me to my limits.
The ship's demanding nature brought forth tough experiences that tested both my physical and emotional strength. I encountered setbacks, faced unexpected injuries, and confronted moments of self-doubt. However, it was within these moments of darkness that I discovered the power of perseverance and the resilience of the human spirit.
Amidst the challenges, I underwent a profound spiritual awakening. The vastness of the sea and the solitude it offered became a canvas for self-reflection and introspection. I discovered inner strength and a deeper connection with myself, realizing that true growth often emerges from the depths of our struggles.
In this video, I'll share the valuable lessons I learned from this dark chapter of my life. From overcoming adversity to finding the light within, I'll delve into the transformative journey that shaped me into the person I am today. Join me as I recount my experiences and offer insights on building mental resilience and finding spiritual solace amidst the storm.
If you've ever faced tough times, felt homesick, or embarked on a journey that tested your limits, this video is for you. Together, let's explore the depths of the human spirit and discover the strength that lies within us all.

Ahem ahem. It was I who said will power is a muscle if anyone is wondering.
Pinning this 🙌
Namaste bhabhi ji
You have to pin that as you can never win this battle 🤣
@@adityatyagi7616 haha yes
Willpower is just like a muscle; to keep it strong you need to constantly nurture it. People with a great amount of willpower have the motivation and discipline to develop positive, successful habits and have a much better chance of succeeding personally or professionally.
Nice to be on UA-cam after a break! Hello everyone ❤️
Hlo sir

Nice vlog and its great that you discuss personal battles, mental health and how you can feel isolated whilst surrounded by others. All cadets and those wishing to join as seafarers should watch this vlog. Hope you are well rested and I am looking forward to your next season. Greg 🇬🇧
Thank you Greg!
Doing my best to share such learning.
I’ll be back soon
Also you have shared a small story. My next step will be a good step in my life.
Straight from the heart !! You have come a long way my rockstar !! Proud of you !! Stay strong stay safe always!! 👦🏼❤️❤️❤️
Thanks maa ❤️
thank you so much for sharing your experience..my bf is a sailor and its his first time on ship and he’s battling with himself everyday…this video motivates me to be there for him in his toughest situation
My purpose of making this video is complete then❤️
@@KaranvirSinghNayyar he broke up today 🥲
Just got back home from my first ship and I can’t believe how relatable this is, thank you for telling the world about the story which nobody talks about, keep up the good work
You are welcome and so glad it connects ❤️
Missed your vlogs a lot. It’s nice to hear your experience and I want to hear more regardless your journey as a seafarer. Waiting for next episode.
I will definitely make more
Hello KSN I'm glad your back on YT. My late dad was a merchant navy engineer for Blue Star Line in Asia and Suez Canal in 1960s and 1970s so I watch on his behalf! He would have loved your stories
I am glad to read that
It takes a lot of courage to show the vulnerability that you talked about. You are an inspiration to everyone working to get somewhere in life.
Thank you for appreciating that sir
A sincere confession. One never forgets one's early days at work. Karan your vlog is very interesting not only for cadets but also for those who are interested in the life of sailors. ❤️
Thank you ivana
Nice to see you after sign-off, straight from the heart and true guidance to all new joiners.
I have shared this with my son who's sailing first time as engine cadet, Hopefully you are enjoying your stay with family and friends. Stay blessed and stay healthy.
Absolutely sir
Thank you for sharing it
Hat's off to you for showing this side of merchant Navy where you are in isolation and you can have mental break downs because most of the people only show the good side where they are enjoying life at sea.
Trying my best to get it out there
Very impressive, you have to be proud of yourself for being able to express your feelings in this way.
You know i have been a sailor myself, and i am sure most of us have been through the same emotions from time to time, but your way of explaining is unique.
Now you have been at sea for many years,, and I am certain you have had many ups and downs, but with your understanding of have life at sea is, you will find that your life over time will be better and better, because you understand how your mind is function and thereby you will be able to deal with whatever comes your way
Again well don
Jeppe
Thank you sir
Glad you could connect to it!
Everything gets better with time as you rightly put it across
20:59 Those words “And Rest is History"♥️
Many more to come KSN...😍♥️
❤️
Scary, fruitful and great lesson for every being who is in merchant Navy or not ❤❤❤super good❤️
Thank you
I can vividly remember my first voyage as a Deck Cadet in 1980. It was a tough time. Back then we had no mobile phones / laptops for keeping in touch with family via FaceTime and other apps. I joined the ship. No communications with home except for the odd letter. 8 long months then passed before I went home for the the first time. I never totally got used to the long periods of isolation and almost total lack of contact with home.
Thank you for sharing Kevin
Love watching these. I come from a family of sailors and shipwrights and they’d love this. You teach very well, and it’s brave to share your feelings. I needed to hear it today. Thank you for sharing your experiences. Be safe!
Thank you for sharing your experience. Depression is a difficult topic to discuss. Our minds lie to us during those dark times. My UA-cam channel has almost collapsed because of my bouts with depression. My best thoughts are with you!
Thank you and I wish you all the blessings for you to get over this tough time
Well said @ 14.46 "You don't want to fight with your mind, just observe it and let it go" ....Very true !
Absolutely
A very touching and heartfelt video. It makes you think about what someone feels when they are far away from their family and friends for the first time. And it shows that the mind plays a very big role. As a young person, being confronted with so many new things, your fear and insecurity all at once is very difficult to bear. But then you have to learn to accept the situation as it is and come out of it stronger for the future. You can be proud of yourself for having mastered this difficult time, and you are now what you are now. A strong, proud and self-confident young man. And your family and girlfriend are proud of you. 👏💪🙌💯
Thank you so much Ute!
Your comments always make me smile ❤️
I know the feelings you described all too well. I came back from Active Duty military service feeling much the same way. It took me years to finally get help, thanks to my wife. I am now feeling much better and have a more positive outlook on life.
As someone who has experienced being a cadet on your first ship, I can not agree more when you said “it will break you”. But it is something I will never forget.
Cheers
🙏
Hello KSN! Very Happy to see you after a long break. I am aspiring to become a seafarer and join the merchant navy. Thank You for Inspiring me ❤️
You are welcome and all the best ❤️
Thank You Sir ❤️
Hello Karanvir, I’ve been following you for a while, but only just came across this VLOG. I found it so emotional and moving. Your honesty in how you felt was so brave to share. You are an amazing person and an inspiration to many.
I have just been retired on ill health grounds after experiencing so many traumatic experiences in over 30 years as a Police Officer in the UK.
I find my passion for wildlife photography is a great healing for me.
Anyway, what I wanted to say is, I’m so proud of you and respect you.
My very best wishes from the UK to you x
Thank you so much for watching Andy 🙏
Yippeeee - I thought he'd stopped with his excellent vids - now there's something to look forward to on UA-cam again !
More to come
Such stories are heartening, especially for those of us who suffer from lifelong depression and fight it every day.
I am seventy years old, and I am still fighting it. Sometimes it lifts off from me. But it always comes back. It's been with me for so long now,that, although not a friend, it is a close acquaintance. Almost like a baby one can never put down but must carry around all the time.
I'm glad you are not still carrying it around. I'll check in on you every now and then and hoping for the very best for you.❤
Thank you sir for sharing and showing your support towards me!
Hope you get rid of it
Keep your spirits up my friend, you will look back on the dark times one day and they will help you stay in the good times. ❤
Thank you, I will ❤️
From your first video l always thought how you people live 6 months far from your family and stay positive..... without any mental breakdown but now I understood everyone have faced that situation and strong people like you get back out of it.... felt so happy to see you back.....best wishes from me ❤️❤️💯
Thank you Sagar
Proud of you Karan and great you came out of that dark phase in life. Many keep these experiences to themselves but this vlog will give many a HOPE that they can too come out and that they are not alone. Thanks!
Thank you Edwin
Fantastic video, helps us understand KSN more than ever but you shine a spotlight on men's mental health issues. Your video can show others that A) it is perfectly normal when these things happen B) things can get better. Well done Sir.
Thank you for understanding that
You are so good... Keep going and never stop making videos. You inspire, motivates....So pure...God bless you always... ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much 😀
Good to See your Video after along time…and as always Astonishing Content..❤❤❤
Thank you so much 😀
I had goosebumps from beginning till end...felt so realistic we need more sessions like this 🤍
Will make ❤️
Glad to see you back , I will love this series
❤️
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. My bf Ritesh is also a sailor n I never understand his situations until I saw your vedio. It make me realise that I should be always there for him and give him the love and mental peace which he is needed the most .
So happy to read this ❤️
Thank u so much for replying back...I just told my bf about your experiences..he told me that if someday he will meet you on ship he will talk with you about Me and Thanks you about to make me understand his situations on ship. I m a huge fan of yours , when I started dating , I remembered my 1st conversation was, I asked him that hey did you know Karanvir . He told me that who didn't know him , I saw his vedio also .❤
Sir, We all are waiting for next video of this playlist.
I can concur with what you said, I had the similar feeling but more feeling very humble and small at times, one whole month of not seeing land made me feel very down but the evening before landfall we had a supper to celebrate land the next day and was i happy to see the skyline of mountains and lights that represented people. My 1st ship was also a container ship Cape Town to Japan via Singapore, Hong Kong and the whole Japan coast, and as you said, the 1st time you take way to much stuff, and when i got into the ship and had to take a lift i was impressed at the sheer size of the ship. Once you have worked on a ship you see it very different to others that have not worked on a ship. I learnt a very big lesson on my 1st trip as Electrical Officer and that was of Teamwork and how important it is for you sanity and acceptance of others and still carry this with me to this day and i was on ships for only a year 1987-88. 3 ships in total and I prefered General cargo (tramping) to that of container.
Thank you so much for sharing your story
Karan,
it was the most beautiful video i have ever seen. I've been following your every word. I'm glad you're here.
Good luck.
I'm waiting for the next episodes.
Greetings from Gdansk, Poland
Thank you ❤️
Awesome the way u narrated your worst experiences at sea being a rookie..It was just very lucid and vivid..There's no such thing most powerful medicine of unknown except divine intervention...Praise u lord alleluia
Absolutely!
It’s all the divine plan
I lost my daughter two years ago after a long illness, I'm 64 and struggling, your words have made me think hard, thank you and take care, Anthony
I am so sorry to hear that!
Wishing you all the strength Anthony sir
You are not alone
I can feel that moment while you telling that 🥲
❤️
"When the mind is against you it will make you not listen to other people" hit it hard🙌🙌...really really appreciate how you explained it ..giving it all...as a cadet also face the the challenges of mental state of being lonely or solitude...keep uploading videos sir while you being at happy end that's what we and I enjoyed ❤🥰
Thank you surya for all the good wishes! Wishing you lots of strength and peace
You are a very brave man. Thank you for sharing your inner most thoughts. It takes a special person to display the courage that you have shown. All the best in your future endeavors.
Thank you

It Is good to see you again🎉
Your expressions are telling the truth.
You are a inspiration for me.
Thankyou
Means alot
Finally got the video which I was waiting since long time
Hello Karan..
Hope things are fine at your end!
Saw the video. Very well made.
I can relate the pain u had gone thru.
My son had gone thru similar situation on his first sailing( he is on his 2nd sailing now.. His situation was even tougher. His 2nd engineer was a rogue.
Just imagine, right out of college and people treat you like this.
Hope your generation understand's and respects the junior 's, make them feel comfortable and give adequate training.
Thank you for sharing this Ma’am!
Wishing your son all the best and my regards to him
Hi Karanvir, that was very nice of you to share a part of your personal life's "mental" experiences with us, I'm sure many of us needed to hear what you have experienced joining a ship for the first time, and what you endured. That may give us the strength to continue our journey and not give up...
Thank you for watching Alston
Wow Karan I really appreciate the experience shared by you about experiencing unimaginable change in life,
It is not that we get what we dream or wish for, sometimes we have to face the facts and adapt and accept it in a positive way and make ourselves happy and comfortable, am i correct
because after my accident with God's wish my lifestyle has changed and i accepted it
Lots of blessings to you prakash sir
Bro you are so simple and normal which anyone can relate to the emotions that u went through during the beginnings, there is so much positive energy in your videos #addicted to your videos, Thanks for sharing your experience bro, there is so much motivation and positivity that comes within after watching your videos
I appreciate that shaik
Good to you see after some time. Hope you are in ship service!
Absolutely
Nicely explained, mixture of willpower, emotions, loneliness and above all importance of family and friends in life.
Thank you
Thanks for sharing. This will help many!
I hope so!
Thanks Karanvir, that was very deep and inspirational. Take care.👍
Glad you liked it luke
Amen!!!! May God continue to strengthen you. I have been through those dark times, and you are correct; God is there. Sail on, my friend!!
Thank you ❤️
The divine is always there
You are an inspiration to everyone who are working on ship!!!

Hello Karan
Good to see you again
We all have had gone through some downfalls in life and it’s really difficult to manage. Same I have also gone through these feelings as you mentioned in the above video and I must say that its very brave of you to tell this in front of the world. It takes a lot of courage.
I really like your videos and enjoy the information you provide and everything has a reason. I do too have.
Thanks for providing this information about merchant navy and about your personal experiences too. Have a blessed life!😊
Thank you so much
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful experience. ❤
It's my pleasure
This vedio is really helpful me. Thanks ❤
Hey Karan, that depression that you speak about is a dangerous thing ... I have been though it myself in OTHER tricky situations, and when you reach out to your faith... there is NO other feeling/thing that can help you ... ONLY you faith and I must commend you on relying on your faith 😇
Absolutely it’s all about faith
Love the way you presented yourself in this video ❤
😊 thank you
It was amazing. Straight from the heart. So even though you had a tough time. Hope that experience has made you stronger now. May Buddha be with you always. 🙏🏻
Thank you so much ❤️

Absolutely ❤️
We did it
i am an amployee, i love hearing your adventures and your
thoughts about your beautiful and particular job.
Thank you
The first time that we join and the attention pose we have around everyone is just hillarious… takes time to become a bit chilled and relaxed and comfortable…
I recently gave up this career 2 years back as a 2nd mate and now I am getting the antidote to my nostalgia through your videos… Great work man !!
Hope you are finding the shore job better!
@@KaranvirSinghNayyar I think people should eventually leave.
I left because of my depression too…
I miss my life at sea i truly do… but i find it better on land than being at sea…
I hope you choose to eventually get out of this too…
Hello ..
May i please know what are the job options on shore ...once we leave the merchant navy
@@sharvari8756 I am not doing a job, but running my own Software company.
Tbh you can do some course first and then try getting a job on shore…
Plan it out prior to leaving.
@@chanakyaratnam6717 yeh got it ! Thank you
Nice video and Story Officer
Hello sir!
I am one of your little fans from Bangladesh.
You motivated me to join merchant navy since I was in 11th.
It's good to see you again.
Thanks a lot for sharing Your first-time experience at sea, it may help to boost my motivation when I am at sea.
best of luck
You are welcome Soham
All the best❤️
Thanks por speaking about your experience. All we have “the shadow line” ! Essential to come out well ! Bye from Italy ! 🇮🇪
Thank you
Karanvir, you have a mission! In the many videos you have posted you have shared subtle glimpses of your spiritual connection which have always left me with a desire to learn more. It becomes evident how your Divine relationship guides you in your work ethics, love of nature and life attitudes in general. Do not be afraid to share more of this gift within you. You may underestimate how you can benefit so many people by sharing your spiritual moments and how you go about it. It can be non-denominational. It doesn't matter. The important thing is to provide your experience to bring out the Divine upon us. Thank you for your generous teachings and God bless you! 🙏
This really touched me.
I will do my best always.
Thank you for supporting me ❤️🕉️
Nice video sir....thank you for sharing this with us 🙏🙏
Most welcome
Karanvir- you are amazing! So honest, simple, telling your most personal experience… i always had a spot for you, but now I admire you even more. You are an Indian person, but now I know you are just a human like I am. May God bless you and keep you safe! Amazing video! Stay blessed!
Means a lot frank
I cant wait for your video bro. really very hardworking ❤😊 love u bro .
