Depression is when you can watch a video and not listen to a single word because the entire time you’re just thinking about everything wrong with you and why you’re not good enough
👌👌👌My three past days
I'm in the middle of an episode ...which can last from 2 weeks to my longest so far which took about 10 months, so...yeah..
very true
Leslie Estrada is that true ? I do that every time 😂😂
I am dead
If this was 3 hours long, I would still listen to it. She sounds so brave and I needed to hear that
Same I could listen for hours
Letting oneself be vulnerably seen as one truly is, especially when one is so famous and a female- that's so brave, she has inspired me✨ She's been light🌟
You are right
shadan
I do not watch anymore than about minutes of these types of videos. I have a short
Attention span and it overwhelms me. I’m 62, so I have had these problems a lot
Longer than some of you younger folks.
shadan same
I can relate I'm 47 and wasted 25 years worrying....Don't make the same mistake...🙏🏻🥰❤🌎
worring with what?
Wow. This was me. I've asked God to forgive me.
I m 25rn and I have been worrying all my life.I better take a lesson from here.
@Girish I worry about stuff too and I’m 21 it sucks and I’m trying best to be grateful and love myself ... it’s hard
Currently 20... I don’t want to do that same mistake anymore just to mess up goals and a future of mine ahead of me. I’m trying very hard.
Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings. This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment.
Psychedelics definitely have potential to deal with mental health issues such as anxiety and depression, I would like to give them a try but haven't found any legit grower to get it.
@Micheal Harris Is he on instagram?
A lot of people have testified about this and I really want to give it a shot. I put so much on my plate and it definitely affects my stress and anxiety levels
@Micheal Harris Does dr.sporess ship?
Dr.spores is the best, he's been my supplier for anything psychedelics.
If you are reading my comment ; I wish you a happy life 🌹🌹🌹
Thank you🌹
Much love to you!
Thank you, you as well 💖✌
Thank you and same for you.
Thank you love... God bless you!! 😭😭💋
Who am I? Who am I trying to be?
Not myself, anyone but myself.
Living in a fantasy to bury the reality,
Making myself the mystery,
A strong facade disguising the misery.
Empty, but beyond the point of emptiness,
Full to brim with fake confidence,
A guard that will never be broken,
Because I broke a long time ago.
I’m hurting but don’t tell anyone.
No one needs to know.
Don’t show or you’ve failed.
Always okay, always fine, always on show.
The show must go on.
It will never stop.
The show must not go on,
But I know it will.
I give up. I give up giving up.
I am lost.
I don’t need to be saved,
I need to be found.
Karen Joi Dahuya same girl same
She just said that her writing was like a 7 year old's... if that's a 7-yr-old's writing, mine is a newborn trying to learn to write. That is such a good poem. It hurts my heart in such a good way! 😶
Karen Joi Dahuya wow ..R.I.P GIA
Karen Joi Dahuya omg
I can relate 😞...... I'm fighting with my self....... I'm trying to fit in.. In this world..... I don't know....what I'm gonna do..... I'm just lost....... I don't know but everything seems to be so unclear inside my head......
"I don't need to be saved, I need to be found"
Frances I've found you 😀
Send me a mail @ marshalanthonio@gmail.com let's see what it leads to
She may not be book smart, but you can tell just by listening to her that she's extremely intelligent and self aware person.
Read an anatomy book,its a Man!
Bernd Horst what?
Try this calming and thought provoking words and feel calmness in yourself ua-cam.com/video/Bkp6m0IKZ0Y/v-deo.html
stop simp-ing, she is normal but lucky she was born rich and pretty, she has an easy life
@@nessnake123 exactly plus she doesn't seem that intelligent
You can see she is different. She is a very smart woman.
yeah. She is.
yea pretty bold
Alejandra Rodriguez intelligent ppl are suffering.
Alejandra Rodriguez shes transgender
@@lootdood6151 No shes not transgender
“When I was young I always wanted to change the world.” You kinda changed my world a little bit. Thank you.
When you can't change your own world how can you be successful in changing the whole world
Hey Cecilia you can change the world if you believe in yourself
“I’m hurting but don’t tell anyone” *i just love this line so much*
Trans women ARE MEN lol that name of yours 😂
@P Melkin If you've gone through it you'd understand that a depressed person doesn't care about how much money they're making...they could be the most successful person in the world, or the most loved, the most praised, doesn't matter, they will find a way to hate themselves even if nobody else does. I'm happy that you don't understand it though, hopefully you and as many others as possible never have to.
I myself am battling a bad case of depression and anxiety it helps and it’s great to see I’m not alone I applaud her because living with depression and doing great things I love Cara
I could listen to her voice all day! It's so calm and relaxing
Emma Bang 👍👍👍
Emma Bang i agree
ikr
The female Attenborough
👍 brilliant Mentor👍💕
Noticed she wasn't wearing shoes. Seems like a sign of honesty.
Great Meme Warrior yea true
Apothesis sitting down with heels is the most comfortable way to wear them but no heels is better oc
I don't see this as a "sign of honesty". Did you see the shoes she wore under the table? It looks like you'd need to be an acrobat to walk in those things. She probably took them off simply for comfort.
freaking me out. i hate it when people are in public with no shoes. this aint caveman times.
Searching & grasping for depth... Much? Honestly her feet just probably hurt!
I love her honesty. I've experienced similar emotions. She's brave for being so open
She is brave.
She is beautiful.
She has a purpose.
Just like you
❤️
She don't actually, she steel don't
Like all of us
She’s also a feminist who always talk trash about men, and trust me 99.98% of feminists would love men to disappear from the existence.
I love celebrities who will public admit that their life isn't perfect.
I knew nothing about her and only saw two videos that made me like her, which were her playing guitar and beat boxing lol. This is the 3rd video ive seen and this made me really like her. She's so honest and real about her experiences.
Jealous?
SAME!!!!!!
@@KAHHHH8548 I think that its a natural thing to be jealous sometimes and to compare urself to others... we all wish that we are free, unique, and not feeling like u r trapped and need to do things u don't like just bc to be liked,and that ppl just pushing u to do things,to make u feel happy and like u need to buy ppl to love u,which is sad
Fame isn't such a good think as it looks on surface.....and most definitely doesn't guarantee you happiness, and neither is the money.....
The message is So on point.
Everyone struggles, some silently... Never assume people have better lives than you.
I always think people have better lives than me... Anyway... They dont have ocd, so they have no idea what its like
@@KAHHHH8548 many people have ocd, and other illnesses
@@CBT5777 I think she did it on purpose
@@KAHHHH8548 having problems is not competition, and its easy to just whine and not trying to fix it.
@@KAHHHH8548 There are plenty of people with OCD, have "exceptional lives" and still struggle with it. You may struggle, but you're not even close to the only one. Also, I have OCD.
And then I found you...
And your poetry spoke to me in a way that rings true
Like silver lined clouds come to cover up all that blue
You see:
That blue had taken over me;
Sometimes I struggle so hard just to cope;
I've been running out of hope it seems, fast approaching the end of my rope.
But, truth be told,
With much thanks to you:
The world seems a brighter place now that you shared with us your view.
Twas no little thing to hear you speak as you do,
Your words really helped me, never enough could I thank you.
💖
Well done for being so open and honest! I think you’re wonderful. So many people look like they’re so strong determined and successful when viewed from afar. The real truth is that beneath whatever facade we hide, we are so weak, vulnerable and delicate. If more people become aware of the true state we live in, we could become so much more supportive of each other. So understanding and caring. The world would be such a better place. Care about each other. Maybe that is what Cara stands for in the future! Opening up people’s awareness! Thanks Cara!!!
Wow I thought Cara is just a pretty face but I have no idea that there is a lot of depths to her. How amazing she is doing this, making awareness for mental health. Using her fame for a cause is very admirable. 👏👏👏 Let's end the stigma to mental health 🖒🖒
nobody is just a pretty face
Everyone has a pretty face.. that is what she tries to say....
...
That same sad idea that so many people have that pretty people are superficial and dumb
That’s why you shouldn’t judge people by their looks.
Never judge a book by the cover....
The poem was exactly my emotions when I went through depression. I was 17 then, and even though I wasn't suicidal, I always fantasised about suicide. Most people fail to understand depression isn't sadness, it's numbness.
For how long you were in depression and how did you overcome this?
Fantasizing about suicide is part of being suicidal.
Did u overcome it??
Sometime it's just physical/health problem and sometimes it's just a phase in life when you have to relax and change your thoughts. Most time we are stupid drama queens and kings.
As a father I find it makes me so happy that there are young roll models like yourself . You are so inspiring .
Totally relate to Cara. Anxiety and depression ain't a joke ,and it's not really that easy talking about it (especially to the parents).😓
The more i see of this girl and hear her talk the more I think she is a wonderful human being.
I like how she took off her heels and is chillin in her feet. Comfy😂
Andre Cade I’ll be tired of wearing those Stilettos all day also 😂
A LOT OF THIS HAPPENED TO ME WHEN I WAS YOUNGER AND STILL FEEL AS THOUGH I DON'T BELONG WITH FAMILY. BUT HAVE SOME GOOD FRIENDS 💞💞💞
people that dont have depression: STOP giving advice. u dont know how it feels to be depressed. depression is NOT just feeling sad. its feeling hopeless, no point to life, wanting to sleep all the time, have no energy, crying, dark cloud over u all the time. i think ppl think that feeling sad all the time wouldnt be that bad, but you literally have NO energy or desire to do anything. getting out of bed in the mor ig is HELL because 1. ur mad u are still alive 2. u have no energy to get dressed or even shower 3. u feel like there 100 pound weight on ur chest. i would sleep 14 hrs and still be exhausted because depression is exhausting.
also women get ur thyroid checked!!! doctors never check it and dont really think about that as a contributig factor to depression. once i started takig levothyroxine for hypothyroidism plus cymbalta dn wellbutrin helped soooo much, i have hope in life, excited for my future, want to shower and try and look good
Hi. All the things you mentioned about having a depression just so the same that sister is going through. My mum want to take her to the psychiatrist but she won't. I just wanna ask if the med you mentioned can be bought over the counter or with prescription? Please please let me know. I wanna help my sister coz she been through depression for very long.
Thank you. Please tell them. One has to experience this monster before they speak about it
I respectfully disagree. All options should be investigated and pushing yourself is one of them. Yeah. I have benefitted from every time I have done it. It's something you have to do.
I feel like there is burden on my head like someone is pressin my head too tightly.. I feel drained all the time.. Evn small tasks looks difficult to do... Don't feel like to wake up cos when wake up again those thoughts keep making noise on my head... Feel lost all the time n feels like I hav lost connection from inside n outside.. One side my head keeps paining n sometimes all over the head start paining.... I lost my hair.. Lost weight... I hav stuck in between my career n love... I havnt evn started building my career.. I ha pv lots of setback n want to work on them bt I'm feeling hopeless to do them.. Only people like me can understand wat I'm going through
I’ve found even people who have depression still can judge others and talk to them like they know it all
It's cool that she talked about her depression openly. Mental illnesses are nothing to be ashamed of
it's not only nothing to be ashamed of but it's become so much more prevalent that it seems believable to think that more than half the population has had to deal with a psychological condition that would require a doctors advice...
i dont care if this comment is 3 years old, but what you said is nothing more but the truth.#endthestigma
We will all have depression in life , either early or late specially when losing someone you care about , lots of peoples good to hiding it
I live in iraq. I have depression because of this country. War, no opportunity, no human rights. Countries just come and bomb us. Lots of killing here and civil war. I wish I could get out and given a second chance living abroad.
Lanja1991 😔😔😔
I am so sorry to hear that. I have been in iraq and i saw how is the life there, especialy for women. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
This probably means nothing to you but please don’t lose hope!!
I hope you get out of there and get your second chance at life. The war in Iraq may never end because of internal leaders/politics and world powers around who want to change ur country or take its resources.
Come for a holiday on nz just to get away
Thank you for bringing awareness to this illness we call depression. Thank you for shining a light on this thing that can not bee seen. I pray that all will find healing from this. Amen
I connected with everything she said! She is very self aware. I also love her personality! A tad bit quirky yet sooo down to earth!
I always admire someone who is Real. And wants to help with their struggles. You can't get through wonderland and truly understand without falling way down deep and being able to climb out. ♡
thank you for this beautiful comment. keep doing you and being so positive
Well said
Correct Tauney! I can relate to this and being in the darkness, being lost feels terrifying, but when you climb out the world looks amazing. ❤💪
No words of MY own can re-define ANY further beauty... other than what Cara so beautifully said!
"Who am I?
Who am I trying to be?
Not myself, anyone but myself.
Living in a fantasy to bury the reality,
Making myself the mystery,
A strong facade disguising the misery.
Empty, but beyond the point of emptiness,
Full to brim with fake confidence,
A guard that will never be broken,
Because I broke a long time ago.
I’m hurting but don’t tell anyone.
No one needs to know.
Don’t show or you’ve failed.
Always okay, always fine, always on show.

It will never stop.
The show must not go on,
But I know it will.
I give up. I give up giving up.
I am lost.
I don’t need to be saved,
I need to be found."
Thanks for transcribing. I too am enjoying the read/listen. Mature for a young person who is only expected to look good. It will be all the nicer to see her as someone relatable on TV.
I would drop everything just to have a moment to talk with Cara. I feel like she would understand me better then anyone i have ever met. My heart has been so moved her words. I wish her the best in all her future walks in life.
I'm 25 and teared up listening to her poems.
Her voice is so relaxing and she speaks so eloquently
It’s always such a relief to me when someone else has the courage to talk about mental health cuz I never do
i can barely tell someone i have a migraine lol
I talked too one of my friends about my mental health yesterday, it was the first time that I ever talked about it to anyone. I was shaking and my heart was beating so fast because I denied my feelings for years and I felt so ashamed. Her reaction was loving but she is not that kind of person that can really relate to mental health issues. The thing is, it’s not about anyones reaction, it’s about yourself, it feels so good to have finally said out loud how I feel. I always thought the walls I built up made me stronger but that’s not true, they weight you down.
So please, find the courage to talk to someone, anyone, wether you only want to share your story or ask for needed help, just do it. It only requires a few seconds of being brave and starting to talk.
Thank you for talking, this takes courage to tell people how you really feel, I am through the same situation and now I have able to talk to people about my depression and anxiety,
This came at just the right time. Someone I love very much is suffering. Thank you for sharing your experience.
This is why I love her.
Nice to see someone real for once.
Please check out David Goggins. I highly recommend it.
excatly! soo refreshing.hard to find that nowadays.
You should watch Sophie Turner on Dr Phil. She's very real too.. I highly recommend it.
Ty Cara. You are a very, very brave young woman. I listened to this video and cried through the whole thing because I understood the entire process you went through, and are still going through. I so wished that my 26 year old, aspiring actress, would have heard this 20 years ago! I become very depressed at least once a month, and it keeps hurting more and more. This feeling that I'm not good enough, smart enough, pretty enough, is putting my soul through a sherdder. I have grown so tired of it that I just want to end it all right now but you have shed rays of sunlight in my moment of darkness. You are right. I am not alone. Other women, men, children, go through this kind of darkness and this darkness forges all the cracks that make each one of unique. I love you dear soul and bless all of your steps. Keep shining your light in all the dark corners that need it.
I needed this so much!!Thank you for your bravery, your beauty, your honesty, and your rawness...Thank you for being YOU!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I always thought Cara was shallow and a girl squad mean girl. Now my mind has been changed. Cara is far more intelligent and introspective than I ever have given her credit for. Bravo Cara you are on the right track on your empowering journey.
Hey Sherri I would like to have some conversation with you 😊 if you don't mind you can mail me @marshalanthonio@gmail.com
Thank you. I needed this.
♥ Luz ASMR ♥ ..♥♥♥all of us do and we need more people being raw open n honest in this world ...especially ourselves

Me too
If i say i needed this too, would you believe?
Depression is a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest. Also called major depressive disorder or clinical depression, it affects how you feel, think and behave and can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems. You may have trouble doing normal day-to-day activities, and sometimes you may feel as if life isn't worth living.
Cara speaking her truths.....you know this as it comes effortlessly. Beautiful
A tip for people who struggle with depression, anxiety etc...
Listen to a motivational video, podcast, or a video like this one EVERY MORNING.
Listen to something that makes you feel good, perhaps a video that reminds you that you're not alone and not everyone is as "perfect" as they seem. This video may have given you hope, knowing that even someone like Cara isn't happy all the time shows that you're completely normal and you'll be okay. However when you wake up tomorrow this video will be forgotten and you'll start to compare yourself to people who have created this "perfect" image (like Cara) that isn't real.. AGAIN.
So yes the tip is to listen to this video or something else every morning. Listen while you eat breakfast, do your makeup, feed the dog WHENEVER YOU CAN. Because it will set you up for a good, positive day full of hope and inspiration
Thank you for this wonderful tip :)
Agree 👍
Plus, listening to motivational song
Yeah, great tip. But if something like that feels too heavy/emotional (sometimes it does for me) you can find release in other ways like listening to pointless comedy podcast or watching a happy comedy sitcom. It can be hard to laugh enough when you're down :)
Yes! Motivational videos/no social media/music has helped me :)
Thank you for this amazing advice. I will try it and I got a feeling it might work.
Cara Delevingne is a wonderful human
Jashobeam91 And so are you😊
I know ❤️
Thank you Cara, it's kinda brave to talk about, even though it's such a common thing it's still taboo in most of the cases. Feeling the same for years, nothing really gives me happiness, not anymore.
Your poem is very beautiful Cara, thank you for sharing it. You're an amazing human being and we love you.
This lass is wise beyond her years.
If you are not happy you are preforming. Own your life. You must be you. Not everyone will like you. When you love yourself enough others who get you too. No one is worth losing your life over. You matter. You are loved.
Golden Opportunities Coaching: That’s so true.
Thank you
Golden Opportunities Coaching: , so many people in the World who are pretending all the time and live a life according some unwritten rules of extremely nowadays retarded society. ALWAYS BE YOURSELF, is a rule that everyone should obey. Unless you want to become depressed, anxious, psychotic,etc....
Thank you Cara for being so open about your depression...I know it so well..been named bipolar... manic depressia...I am now 55 and have the feelings surfaced..a small voice prompting to end my life..but I embrace life and my younger children...so thank you for giving us a Voice!! Love you..
This is word for word exactly how I am and feel. She couldn’t explain it even more. Not just for her but for me as well. It’s hard for me to explain what I feel and she did so well. This is how I feel and what has gone on in my life word for word. I didn’t model but I still am looking for my position in life
This should reach to all beautiful souls who have suffered a lot.
To the one reading this comment - You are beautiful. Just hold on. Don't give up ever.
I won't, I promise.
This is so admirable !
She is so real !
That a movie star lets go of their pride to show their humanness !
Its healing in itself !
Hollywood should see her as an exemplar !
Dreamtime I know she's so nice ❤
Hollywood should rly see her as an example
Cara is amazing, wishing her a journey to recovery. ❤️🔥
Some things aren’t taught in school and that’s life lessons. I could listen to this over and over again because I can totally relate. We have all been there! When you become successful throughout your life you soon realise how grateful you are to still be here. We all have a purpose and we just need to find our purpose and once we do everything changes for the better 🙌🏽 Proud of each and every one of you for over coming your past trauma and battle with depression ❤
I have felt hopeless my entire life, always the loner playing video games after school. Now when I want to change and find meaning with my life, I can't think of anything that makes sense to me. I don't have any sense of identity, no friends and no family. I just don't know what to do or what really interests me. I still can't figure out if I should call it a depression or an identity crisis.
Sorru you feel this way, most just dont understand and think is as easy as turning on a light to change it but is not. I believe with all my being that you have what it takes to overcome this even if you dont understand it, you dont even need to know what it is. I promise you can!!! 😁
Demigod852 first key, GRATITUDE for every little thing you got. second key is realizing how ignorant and dumb most of the nonsense priorities in the heads of the people in 1st world countries are. Having high standards, means having less to enjoy in life. Humans get used to everything in life, doesn't matter what, thats why we're lost without being greatful and understanding the value of all the little things we overlook and take for granted that others would give everything for to have. In my oppinion the purpose of everyones life should consist of wanting to help one another. Because there is nothing (materialistic or else) that could satisfy me so i could feel truly fullfilled. Chasing short term pleasure isn't the answer. Escaping the prison of our urges and desires by deciding not to life like an animal is a giant step towards finding your path. 😀
youtube isn't exactly the best place for advice on this but Im sending you all my good vibes, friend :)
Your comment struck a chord with me. Everyone in this thread is advicing you to do minor specific things or reason with yourself intellectually. One thing that really helped me and continues to do so is my passion for music. It's been a constant source for strength and solace but also a gateway to connection, community and friendship.
IMO life is about finding something creative that makes you excited and do it as much as you can. It doesn't have to be art it can be sports, crafting or even business. We thrive under pressure and the feeling of honing a skill, sharpening an edge gives us a sense of purpose. It's also a gateway to community, meeting poeple who share this passion is a great foundation for friendship to bloom. I've made many friends while organising events, playing shows, hanging at the skate park or in the gym.
So how does one find ones passion? I'm not sure unfortunately, I just happened to stumble upon music in my teens. I recently moved to a new town though and I've found the best way to make friends is to just be a yes man and try out as many things as you can. Most towns have community centres were activities are held, pubs or venues where shows are played. Put yourself in positions to meet new people and don't be afraid to strike out. Always seek out new experiences and soon enough you'll find something you want to come back to. Perhaps something you'll want to do for the rest of your life and with people you'll consider dear friends. I wish you luck!
i think that we have to lose ourselves in order to find ourselves again. those crisis are the best way to grow up. if you like to play video games then play. if you like to be alone then well, be alone. Do what you like, always be yourself. i felt the same way and sometimes i still feel the same crisis, but its not so bad and its not the end. Dont take it so serious, just relax and listen to yourself.and someday you will find the true reason of your life.
Maybe this advice works for you, who knows :)
(apologies for my english, I hope you can understand)
So powerful. I really appreciate when people and stars in general open up like this, they make you realize that they are vulnerable as anyone else.
She’s so inspiring for people like me who also have dyspraxia. It’s very unknown but a struggle and she proves you can be successful and a wonderful person at the same time
She took off her high heels. A Very good connection to the topics
She has a depth to her which has come about by her experiences. Her words are so honest and open that you just have to like her.
It's so very helpful hearing someone else open up about their battle with mental disorders, she is a very brave women.
Thank you Cara for showing your true self. It would take a lot of courage to show your vunurabilty. You have a beautiful soul
at the end of this interview. I really felt like crying and actually did it just beautiful talk that gets me and helps me a lot
Strong girl to share such a vulnerable experience. Respect.
I’m so sorry that he said “Lazy” when you talked about not doing well at school. Well done on sharing your story, so brave snd if you can help support one person that is wonderful ❤️
That shocked me as well. And she shrugged it off... he was way off base
Having a learning disability makes learning through traditional methods 10x harder. I get you, Cara. You are an amazing woman. Love how real you are.
-Have you learned how to say no?
-Yes.
This was eye opening. I am recovering from burn out and depression. I never saw it coming and never believed it could ever happen to me. It is terrifying and I can't wait to get better. But I want to do everything I can to get out of this hole. It is horrible. Thanks for sharing your experience.
When she read the text I felt a deep feeling of familiar emptiness that these topics usually bring to me but sided by the feeling that someone, here now, is talking about it and it is exactly how I feel. Especially when she said that she was 15 when it all started, it hit me so hard, because I am 15 and I am indeed diagnosed with depression too, so I feel deeply connected to everything she says, and it kinda makes me feel less alone, so thank you
Checkout my channel and watch the last video , hope it helps
Ultimately, we are all mere humans with feelings and longingness to be found and guided to some path that we believe are destined for us. But what we don't seem to realise is, why not just think of the present, and what can we possibly do to change the 'now'. We all are very strong, powerful and confident individuals with unique gifts, we need to just tap into one of those frequencies and go with that flow or energy, while being mindful of the present/now. Famous, not famous, rich or poor, dark or fair, boy or girl, we are all one and the same, recognising that and accepting what we are will help us move forward. And being ourselves, no matter who says what, while being responsible for our deeds/actions, this is simply how we can try being our real selves.. It was brave of Cara to openly speak about her struggles.
It takes A LOT of courage to speak out publicly about issues we struggle with...that everyone struggles with at some point! Mad respect to Cara!!! More women and men need to speak up cause so many of us can benefit from their story, advice and bold actions!!!
There does seem to be a direct correlation with trauma in early life to depression and anxiety manifesting itself in later life. For me, analyzing my past and talking about it openly to others or writing it down was a crucial turning point. Expressing yourself makes whatever your saying or doing become real, then you can start to change. Once you have come to terms with your past and learnt what you can then focus on the present, as the moment right now is what matters. Start small and work on the little things day by day, write down your goals and visualize yourself as the person you want to be. Realizing that you are not the only one going through this and acknowledging that there is love within you and everyone else is life changing.
I hope this helps someone, much love.
Thanks! I can relate
I did not have trauma occur in my childhood. It occurred around 17 for me and I am 28. I think that depression and anxiety is def a result of early life trauma but I also think that the world we live in is a very hard place to reside and hurt people will hurt you, inevitably. 😥😓

Sometimes you just have to let everything go. Depression is like swimming in quicksand, the harder you try the more exhausted you get.
Great talk! Inspiring.
Some of us experience this thing she talked about within family. I quickly developped anxiety and so much insecurities. Yes that's right i said it, family is not always as caring as they say. I was as a child and still am criticized physically by some members of my family like your thin or too fat or you should slow down on food or you should lose weight etc. That broke me, still have scars till now.
This empowering woman seems absolutely incredible and extremely down to earth. What a diamond.
“who am i? who am i trying to be? not myself, anyone but myself” god did that bring me to tears... i have never been able to put how i’m feeling into words, but she did it so wonderfully for me.
She's amazing even if u don"t have time to listen to her she can attract u with her uplifting words and everything about her :her voice, the way she thinks ..... I love this lady so much 💗
This was so comforting, to recognize parts of myself I never thought I'd recognize that much in someone else. Really does me good. I also have suffered from depression since I was a teenager, did well in school mostly because of my family and recently had multiple breakdowns because of it. But what comforted me the most was that I wasn't the only one who, as a kid, thought showing and feeling emotions was a sign of weakness. What surprised me was the fact that I too poured my heart out onto paper (canvas in my case) and was completely surprised by what came out, like it was someone else who did it; telling me what I was truly feeling. It was only then that I realized what was going on with me.
To this day I still use paint as a way to poor my heart out, feel my emotions and let them leave my body. Such a relief. I must say I feel closer to her even though I know I don't know her (although having seen this, I think I know her more than I know most of my friends). The realization and reminder of the fact that others too can have such great experiences with letting their emotions out in a creative or yoga way truly motivates me to become a creative therapist and one day open my mental health resort with these kind of treatments ^_^

I listened to you and you make so much sense. I wrote this sometime ago I thought it may make sense to you too. So I thought I would share my thoughts.
STEPPING INTO THE LIGHT.
I’m in between the shadows of the darkness and edging into the light, I see the light its not to far away, maybe a arms length away but to far to travel today. I always wonder what it feels like to reach and rap myself in its warmth. Today as like most days I fight to be me, a constant battle to stay here. I seek the light I often walk to it. I walk there most days only to be out of reach or to far to muster up the energy to look to it.
Today’s journey is a heavy slog my feet seem to be leaded, each step getting heavier then the last. Why is this such an effort, is it always going to be like the previous day’s months and years. When will this end. Each day I walk breve and feel like I’m in a glass box, trying to talk but my voice isn’t getting anywhere, constantly rebounding about this see through wall, the void between you and the world and I, is there to be seen.
I seem to walk a million steps a day always uphill. I keep walking along this sharp pathway, knowing one day the edges will be less sharp. The more I walk I feel I can step on to a smother path and on to a lighter horizon. So I will keep trying to reach the light. I long for a brighter day.
The light I desire isn't a one day return it's for life. The life that I leave behind will never honesty leave me. It’s ingrained into my soul. The acts of humanity has cut into my heart and my soul so profoundly that it’s difficult to come back from. I fantasize that my life is different only to get stabbed over and over in my brain by the horrors I had placed upon me. I never wanted these Horrors all I wanted was a simplistic easy existence. My light has to be forever it has to cleanse me, it has the reconcile my torment my torcher and forever bring me Joy.
Life is passing me by, this has got to stop I'm reaching for the light more and more these days. I can see it shine brighter each day. I long to be the core of the light and place my energy in it so I can shine bright for others and show them the light is not that far away, if you allow yourself forgiveness for others that has trespassed against you then the light will be around sooner then you think.
Love live and shine.
this is something i definitely needed as i have been suffering from both anxiety and depression along with some other things for just shy of a year and this hit home for me. it made me feel like im not alone and being 15 years old, closing in on 16, this might have gotten me out of a horrible time so thanks for being a recommended video. well worth the 11 minutes as i watched all of it instead of skipping from video to video :)
Na talie, To feel better reduce negative thoughts. Your breathing is closely related to the brain [mind] and gives good relief from stress-anxiety. To relax sit on a chair or lie down, neck straight, eyes closed and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight your thoughts. With daily practice the mind will relax. No deep breathing needed. When taking a walk, when reading, before sleep etc observe your breath sensations. Like me, make this a lifetime daily habit to have a better life. Reduce negative social media and avoid constipation as it affects the mind instantly. Best wishes--Counsellor.
I love her .she is truely inspiration..may all people get to know themselves and be happy
Thank you so much! I'm able to get out of bed, take a shower & I'm going to do YOGA today because of YOU! I've been stuck. Looking for professional help & all it took was this one person speaking to my heart that was able to wake me up & get me out of it! Depression is an inner battle & we need to speak about it more, Thank you!
I want to be more humble, more kind, more sensitive, more friendly, more honest, more hardworking, less egotistic
