Came to this channel for the music, stayed for the counseling.
The timing of this video for me is so weird, also so perfect. I just spent the whole morning crying while trying to exercise because i was forcing myself to do something to at least get something accomplished, but also sad because lately i've been feeling like a failure and a burden in other peoples lives. Basically i just moved to Europe from Brazil and right now my body and mind were supposed to be in vacation, in a hot tropical weather, at the beach. Instead, i'm in a small room, having to work on a master's project (which i'm stuck at), in cloudy/ rainy weather and a cold i never felt before. Just this week it occurred to me it might be lack of vitamin D, because ok moving from another continent and all i suppose is normal to feel down sometimes but i've been feeling down and sad and depressed more often than normal, and this video opened my eyes to it probably being me experiencing seasonal depression for the first time. I'm somehow glad it's not just me going crazy, and that this is something real that other people experience too. Also, thank you very very much for sharing some mechanisms to try to survive this intense season.
Never in my life have I suffered from a seasonal depression UNTIL I moved to Upstate New York (especially coming from a country where it is always sunny, the difference was brutal). I felt SO depressed last December! And it has been years since I feel that I overcame depression, so I did not know what to do when I started to feel helpless again. The thing that got me better after a few days last year was taking high doses of vitamin D as supplement. Noticeable difference in a very short time. Plus, exercising, meditating, and consuming "positive" media. I am in an MBA program, so socializing is always a thing in my life. That's basically what helped me last year and I am repeating the formula this year.
I live in Upstate NY too!
I'm sending extra love 💞, hugs 🤗, and prayers 🙏🏾 your way!

I’ve struggle w all kinds of depression. What helps me is singing. Always centers me and brings me home. Journaling outside on my favorite patch of earth (under the sun) or next to a tree… Life-giving 😊
You talk about an ON TIME NOTIFICATION! 🥺
THANK YOU for sharing and reminding us that we're not alone! 🫂
Love this transparency 🥲
i hope your SAD isn’t too hard on you this year 🤸🏽♀️❤️ congrats on getting off of social media for now, remember to do what’s best for your soul and yourself. ☀️ and i hope you get to enjoy as much sun as possible!
I can confirm so much of this! When I'm depressed, I really don't want to go anywhere. But I push myself because I know I'll be glad I did. I'm also big on journaling. Thanks for sharing these tips!
joseph thank you for making a difference man. much love from houston
Depression is definitely real a few of my family members have it. I’m just there to talk them out of it and to just let them know everything is going to be alright and God’s got them. So for you don’t worry about it God’s got you and as long as you put your faith,hope and trust in him you’ll pull through ❤
Thank you, this video has been helpful as I combat S.A.D.
Joseph I really needed this right now. I tend to shut myself indoors, especially during this season where my university is closed for the holidays, and being inside for a long time does bring back certain levels of my depression and I forget that sometimes haha. I'm going to look into going outside and meeting up with other people now. Thank you❤
I feel so seen when you talked about how you thought you were never gonna be depressed again. I've had moments like that in my late 20s, and I feel like it hits me even harder because I really believed I "cured" it.
I am still learning about myself and figuring it all out. We will all get through it together.
Thank you for making this video!
You’re very great captivating an audience. I really hope you go far. Also yes this is my first fall in California 😩 it’s tough, but we got this 💪🏽☀️
Yes, I like it! I can’t said I’ve experienced seasonal depression…but definitely depression a few times in my adult life. But recently, I want to say since July/August, I stopped scrolling through my social media feeds. The major push wasn’t depression, but I came to realize that I couldn’t distinguish my own original thoughts and opinions from what I was consuming. Of course the currency of social media is attention, and with that attention marketers can influence decisions and opinions. And I lost what I think…like what my original thoughts were, not simply what I was regurgitating from the strong opinions and biases of others. Since then, omg. This is the most clear minded I’ve been in a while, and I’ve come to love (or despise and work to change) my own original thoughts and can now create a more sustainable version of me. I say all that say, getting off social media is amazing for more reasons than one lol
I’m glad to see you finding ways to stay above the clouds! Oh! And I agreeeee about the sun, so don’t shut up about the sun!
was literally JUST talking to my therapist about this. you lose sense of what's your thoughts vs the homogenous thoughts of social media. nothing of yours feels original.
wow, you kinda like me fr 😂😂😂 i'm from South Africa and no that long ago (well 2 years is a long time 🙄) i was diagnosed with ADHD and Bipolar Type 2. after weeks of taking tests, my psychologist saw my mood and behavior dramatically change (from January to May) and saw that i was becoming more depressed overtime (from May to July) and noticed i also had S.A.D on top of having ADHD and Bipolar Type 2. so yeah.. 😂it's nice to know that one of my new favorite UA-cam content creator can relate to my (our) struggle with mental health.
Thank you for raising awareness and sharing your experience ❤️
Thanks so much for sharing. It is a real thing. I have had SAD during certain times of my life on top of my PTSD. So you are not alone.
Happy holiday season 🎈
Living in Germany as a half Jamaican i really feel this. Germany is really dark and cold in winter but also very hot in summer so you have such a temperature span
Sometimes you don't have the words but still appreciate the bravery.
I'm sure many are connecting on a deeper level with all the practical hacks being share here. Pretty kl.
This is great!
I noticed that I've been experiencing a weird sadness around the colder months lately as I've gotten older. I never understood why, but you nailed it. We're all so busy with work, life, etc... Going outside just seems like a heruclean task. Even more so when it's cold AND you're introvered. This video put a lot of things into perspective for me. Thank you!!
Thank you for these great perspectives. Many of us creative types struggle with ego vs self image issues, balancing what motivates us to play vs the tastes of our audience, and subsequently wrestling with various forms of depression. I am usually hit four fold in the early winter with the aforementioned lack of daylight, summer and fall gigs and festivals wrapping up (I haven’t seen any of my bandmates in weeks), and the fact that both of my parents passed away between thanksgiving and Christmas. It took me the majority of my adult life to even approach the topics wrapped in mental health and previously only dealt with individual episodes. Very recently I have been trying to be more open to help in refocusing the lenses I see the world through. When we feel alone it’s often our own depression cutting us off from others. It is more likely our own anxiety making a social situation difficult than somebody just flat out disliking us or what we create, just like we obsess over one discouraging look or comment while not taking to heart the people who did enjoy the performance or compliment our work. Keep up the great music on your channel Joseph, it is inspiring on multiple levels. ☮️❤️🎶
I live in Australia, but experience seasonal depression in the same time frame as most others. Summer just pisses me right off, and I feel so much more at home in cold climates. I hate the heat, summer sucks, everything is made worse by it being summer. unfortunately there isn't much info about seasonal depression in the summer.
I’m glad you’re still producing this kind of content. It’s so uplifting, but I miss your insights in faith 🥺 I know you’re on a different path now, but you helped me so much in that aspect and it hurts that I can’t go back to those videos. God bless you brother!
Thank you for this video! I can totally relate. Thank you for sharing your story on seasonal depression. Your tips has truly helped for me in the past and I hope it helps others. I'm not for sure if it's because we're growing up through the years of adulthood and we no longer have the child-like wonder feeling of Christmas.
One thing that has helped move on from seasonal depression is.. (this might sound weird) but being one with the cold weather. lol. Honestly, I think it's a mindset game and it's stereotypical to not like cold weather. I recently watched Limitless on Disney + and I come to learn our body benefits in cold and hot weather/conditions. So, knowing there are health benefits, I'm starting to change my mindset on how I see cold weather. I also have started doing daily walks in the East Coast weather AND I will be going to Toronto for Christmas which should be wayyy more colder than here.
Thank you for sharing this. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
I hope you’re doing well and getting your daylight. ☀️ Take your time off social media but please try to show your face every now and then so we can see you…cause we miss you. 😭😔😌💖🤗
hearing so many things about seasonal depression while beeing depressed the whole year ._.
Yeah Low Vitamin D can cause Depression and it is always really cold around the Holidays so yeah make sense. So yeah Load up on Vitamin D-3 during the Winter!
Don’t let it be 35° outside I’m really going to cancel wooo felt that in my spirit 😂
wow these were really good tips and things I have been trying this season and it’s amazing to see the effect on my well-being!
I mean I just have depression in general lol! But I mess with this video heavy. V relatable 💯
Can you cover easy on me by Adele? That would mean the world to me and I’m sure others would also enjoy it. Also thank you for sharing your story. I hope you are doing better. I can relate
I don't like gray days. 😒 makes me sad in Mississippi. New Orleans is always sunny 🌞 I miss New Orleans 😩 sun
This was so helpful 🙏🏽💜
Oh my God!! I hate it! It’s always around Christmas! I just told my sister this.
the timing of this.... i noticed this coming on for me
Yes this is definitely me! It’s gotten worse the last few days!
Yes say this!!
💜
God is with you ✝️❤ - Cracker Barrel girl 😊
you should write a song about it
I feel less alone
What are the chords?
bro there’s no chords in this video. it’s me talking about seasonal depression.
@@whatisjoedoing Shid bro, I thought I was commenting on the Plastic Off the Sofa cover. That was fire. What’s the chords you played on that joint
One big game changer I can recommend to anyone. Get you PHOTOBIOMODULATION panel, it uses infrared and near-infrared light and it supplies the UV light same as the sun whenever you need it, I personally use it right from the morning when I get up to tell my brain ok, it's time to wake up, it also helps with synchronizing your Circadian Rhytm, which helps alot with neutransmitter support in brain - depression is 95% imbalance of neurotransmitters in your brain. It also reduces inflammation in body, helps with regeneration after exercising, it's very beneficial for your skin also. For me when combined with meditation and breathwork every morning + exercise and if I feel tired, I would use it in the day also, GAMECHANGER. I was always suffering seasonal depression until now. I personally use MITOLIGHT.
It’s so hard sticking to routines when it gets darker, everything in me just wants to stay in bed but we persevere.
It’s summer here so idk about the sunlight for me, been having plenty and still am going through it lmao 🥲. I think I get triggered with “cycle ending”dates majorly birthdays and Christmas/new year’s, a week prior of it I tend to stress and analyze things like “did I made any progress?”, “will I be okay next year”, “will I achieve the goals I didn’t this year?”… as you said realizing the patterns while also approaching it with a positive mindset and surrounding yourself with honest people with great vibes really helps. Btw happy new year, wish you all the best 🤍
