Being around people makes me more depressed and anxious.
I suppose it depends on what type of people they are but I can relate , so many fake , shallow people out there obsessed with money and their own lives it's hard find genuine people to connect with for a supposedly social species and always wondering about the motives of people who are trying to be friendly . I think trying to be kind and loving to yourself and trying not to judge and criticize yourself can help a lot. 🙂
@@sharminiserasinghe3293 agree.....I think it's when your nerves are bad and you feel drained when being around ppl.
@@margo.3466 I find most people are very shallow these days. They either gossip about others (and about you when you turn your back) or how to make more money. It's sickening to be around such people.
@@sharminiserasinghe3293 understood.....and agree,..there's lots of 'those' types about. Of course you know to stay away from them ☺.
@@John-u4o2d How do you know about someone unless you get to know them? Assuming is not a good thing to do. Not all ppl are bad but plenty are of course. When it comes to God,....you really should give him a chance by reading the Bible. Of course you have to study it, meaning not just 'skimmimg' over it.
Go for a walk. Walk in a garden. “analysis leads to paralysis”.... don’t overthink.. play music... stay strong 💪🏽 ❤☀️🎸
There is a difference between being miserable and totally disgusted.
INDEED
I'm dealing with major depression since my breakup. I feel suicidal at times and haven't felt like that in a very long time. The problem is I have no friends that I can see in person. This is rough.
I'm sorry you going through it. Just remember it's not just you it happens to. There are others that can understand what your going through and will help you. One thing I didn't focus on was me. Find a new chapter rather than focusing on what you lost. Find something new to gain. My comments probably won't help you rn. But I wish you well. Taken me 6 years to deal with similar as you. I only just started seeking help. It's hard to get but it is out there.
Yeah life is hard sometimes, try to find something you enjoy like a hobby and try to keep your mind busy , meditation can help too if you're willing to give it a try , be your own best friend , you don't need friends , the only person who's always gonna be there for you is you ! be kind to yourself try not to blame or criticize yourself for anything in the past , things can change for the better. Good luck !
Left a cult 6 years ago so have lost a whole community as well as my only child who also shuns me. It's really tough being shunned and no other family either. I've tried volunteering but I couldn't keep it up after a while, I take my little dog out every day and know many in the dog walking community but I don't see them otherwise. Have always looked after people as a carer but retired now. It's awful when you feel stuck. Don't know what to do next. Have been in counselling for 7 weeks on zoom and she is really good, nice to have someone to talk to.
@@lesleyhumphreysjones5957 I can relate to a lot of what you said , you don't always get what you deserve in life , you sound like you've had to deal with a lot of change in your life , I think some sort of meditation could help you , I don't know if you've heard of Joe Dispenza he has a lot of meditations on UA-cam , you just need some headphones , some are only 15 mins long to get you started , I would recommend you watch some of his videos explaining what he's about, he has a lot of videos explaining how his techniques work and really helps it all make sense, other than that just taking up a hobby and try to keep busy and focus on the future instead of the past !
Takes time ,but once you realise it’s like trying to stop the tide coming in you will begin to heal ,I’m talking from experience …
The problem is that people always look for ways to take advantage of you, or take from you, or conspire behind your back. Once you are around enough people you learn how selfish and bigoted everyone is. If you truly want to beat depression, then volunteer. Work with animals, or the homeless or do something completely selfless for someone else. It is impossible to be depressed when you are doing something like that. Then you do not have to listen to other people's bigotry, racism, political views, judgements and do not have to look over your back for them stabbing you. Go spend time with your dog.
Agreed
There is nothing more fulfilling than helping someone.
Animals always help. The healing power a good dog possesses is rarely ever expressed.
Are you a person who always looks for ways to take advantage of others or take from them or conspire behind their back?
@@DrEric-kp8tf professional ppl live in a totally different environment to the average person on the street. Unless you are living in an affluent area.....you will probably be surrounded by undesirable characters... putting it politely. Lots of ppl living in ordiary/poor environments are surrounded by low life's! (The system is against the ordinary person no matter how much they want to work or how many qualifications they have, due to employers wanting cheap labour, etc, etc)
I'm a volunteer at a large county animal shelter in Colorado. It's very rewarding and therapeutic.
God bless Dr. Jordan Peterson. One of our heros of our times. He made so many lifes SO MUCH BETTER by giving direct, straight advice. By being an example of fighting medics & for showing us how we can do things better. THANK YOU.
True!
The man is a charlatan all the way.
@@Thissomething untrue
My wife doesn't understand my anxiety and depression. And she makes me feel so guilty. Which makes it even worse.
This was a good video. I need to find new friends. Peace to all of you I hope you make it to paradise.
Probably one of the best non-medicinal cures for depression is exercise.....namely aerobic like biking, fast paced walking, swimming, jogging, hiking, hi-rep weight training, etc. Getting your heart rate up and breaking a sweat does wonders for depression. Be consistent doing it everyday working up to 45 minutes a session. Try it you won't be sorry.
I don’t have anybody.
Well, that's depressing.
Hey I'm listening I pray a lot its comforting and brings me peace AMEN
I’m thinking of you now and praying for you James.😢
James, take a class, join a club, volunteer, you can meet new people and make new friends. Just put yourself out there a bit, you can do it 👍
Go to an ALANON meeting.
Not necessarily for friends or relatives of alcoholics.
Go to several meetings.
Just for the heck of it and to see what they are about.
Merely a suggestion.
Don't go if you don't want to.
Saying scale how your feel from 1 - 10 has never made sense. You can’t really measure how you feel with numbers. Emotions cannot be calculated.
well you can if you try, let's say you take 10 days for example, you can at the very least spot the differences between your emotions, for eg, yesterday i was pretty miserable, today i'm better than yesterday. we know that 1 is like the most normal day, so then you can rank how you felt based on that and then it can give you deeper insights. that's what i think but you can disagree, no worries!
I find that 1 -10 or 1 - 100 scale impossible. For me it’s 1, 5 or 10. 10 is rare, almost none existent. 5 is the norm and 1 sticks around for awhile until I’m either used to it, giving in and accepting my horrible feeling or just not noticing it anymore because I found something to occupy my time(and hopefully something healthy or at least not obviously dangerous).
I watch endless cat shorts until i numb the pain and sadness
Yes!!! l love my kitties....there is just this lack of understanding, hence lack of communication with the opposite sex. June
Me
If I was depressed, I certainly wouldn’t listen to this video.
that's okay❤
Blaa Blaa Blaa, ……. Maybe your right about some of it.
What a person needs, is a Structured day to day lifestyle, with interaction among other people. Even if it’s just saying hello , how are you.? To your neighbours.
Then you have to make an effort to do something productive in your day., even if it’s just pulling a few weeds, or cleaning.
At the end of the day, laying in bed, reflect on your achievements throughout your day.
You will find yourself seeing your accomplishments in a positive almost third party kind of way, and drift off , maybe thinking of your next thing to come.
The only problem with this is, you have to follow this everyday.. you can’t sleep in until 4:00 pm.
That is quite good advice my friend. And something everyone can follow easily.
It’s not that easy from my experience. But I carry on on regardless.
Same bro
I totally understand.
He never said it was easy.
HARD WORK!
I keep coming home to evidence someone's been in my home while I'm at work and things have been vandalized. I also can't have a car because the bolts will disappear from the wheels
File a Complaint. install a Cctv. This can be dangerous
@@Thissomething filing a false police is a crime! I'm sure op knows better!
He always makes it sound SO bloody straight-forward! Firstly, if you’re crippled with depression, nothing can get you out of bed in a morning no matter how much you want to; and secondly he always assumes everyone has an army of friends which REALLY annoys me: introverts who shy away from others and older people whose friends have pre-deceased them have sod-all chance of being lifted out of depression - but he never, EVER acknowledges these individuals even exist (which is why I don’t follow him)!
This is a two minute segment.
Susanne, i understand your pain ❤ hours of advice from people like this guy will not sink in when you're so low. Ive been there. Its easy to give advice when you're on the outside looking in
He also doesn’t acknowledge that people generally have fewer and fewer friends as they age. And that the sporadic communication with the remaining friends is likely to be low quality social media interaction as people move around so much for work these days. If the key to curing depression is quality socialising, a lot of us are screwed.
Yeah sadly considering we're supposed to be social animals , people don't want to make friends with someone who looks sad or depressed like it's contagious or something , the irony that the times when you look like you need a friend the most no one wants to know you . I think we have try to be our own best friend and be kind and try not to judge and criticize ourselves for our flaws or past mistakes as we can be our own worst enemies sometimes and remember we don't need friends, it's better have no friends than friends that are no good , the only person who's always gonna be there for you and always have your best interests at heart is YOU !
@@EdelweisSusie me too and there are many more like us! A lot of ppl misunderstand what severe clinical depression is....those that say otherwise are simply not suffering severely, although they make think they are....they don't know that you simply cannot function at a very basic level. ☺ you're not alone in you're severe suffering.
Problem is, everything that releafs me, gets less effective everytime i do it.
Quiet an over simplified video , just because your depressed at 11 am one day you might distract and interact the next day like suggested but distraction doesn’t give any longevity to healing. You can’t overcome depression without not only understanding what is causing the illness but understanding the triggers and the tools to take control
May I suggest praying .❤
Definitely ✨
May you elaborate on how and what may be the outcome?
@@alspezial2747- Talk to God. Look up the Psalms in the Bible and read them out loud. This can be very comforting. There is definitely power in prayer from a sincere heart. Ask for Heavenly Help. Pray to Jesus🙏🏼❤️God bless you
Suggest something useful instead!
Can you talk about Generalised Anxiety Disorder.
One thing not to do is to listen to false prophets… avoid at all cost
What if you’re too depressed to do these things and the days you do do them it’s because you’re not depressed. You want to want to do them
What if its a diagnosed chemical depression ?
Cnt b change i tred bt fald miserbly.
Pretty technical and difficult to set up.
More I listen to JP, more I convinced that he is just a word salad generator
When you're depressed you don't have friends
True.
Not true. This is when you usually hear afterwards when someone commits suicide and people say, "I had no idea he or she was struggling with suicidal thoughts." True friends really do care, but they are not mind-readers.
Yeah that is true, I was just thinking about the last 35 years of my life I've spent alone.
@@Thissomething not true in the slightest! You are disgraceful!
@@leetarrant5630 it's not true!!! 35 years alone was your choice!
You make the assumption one has friends.
I'll be honest with you. Up until recently thought I didn't have any friends. Then I saw a guy I used to work with that I had not seen in almost 10 years. He was commuting to work. He has a wife and kids etc. I bumped into him in the supermarket. And almost like we'd never parted ways, we went back to the banter, the chit chat, the gossip. It was like going back in time to the place of work, like no time had passed. It was a bit of an epithany moment for me, in that I realised that we don't actually lose friends. They are always your friends. It is the hustle, bustle and grind of the 9-5 life that we have all become kind of "slaves" to, that has got in the way, created a gap. If you have a friend that you have not seen for a very long time, get in touch with them. I guarantee they will be happy to hear from you.
And what if i don't have friends?
Then my friend you can try and focus on yourself, you can still try out some Mental health exercises, it won't be easy at all but at least you can get some work done while being depressed. And in time you will be able to find at least 1 or 2 friends which will be enough for you.
What would you say to someone in your position if you were their friend , be your own best friend, be kind to yourself , try not to judge or criticize yourself for anything in your past or present , try to do something to keep your mind busy like a hobby or meditation, the only person who's always gonna be there for you and always have your best interests at heart is YOU! good luck !
Then you need to look to yourself. I suffer depression and don’t have friends any more. When I did I found for me they didn’t help anyway because they could not understand what depression feels like and anything they said really did not penetrate the depression bubble. For me I find art helps me, it distracts me from miserable thoughts and even when going through the worst of my depression, when I had no creativity in me I made myself just put colour onto paper, just scribbles and doodles and lots of colour like a child would paint, it helped me. Maybe find something you enjoy or want to learn and that can occupy you and distract you, exercise, reading, creative hobbies. The hardest thing is to start, you have to force yourself and it seems impossible because depression can freeze you, it is tough but the answer to our personal battles is really within us, friends can only listen and comfort but it does not change the feeling inside and it does not give us the strength we need to find inside to fight the black dog.
Is your channel monitized? Please Answer!
not yet, i hope it will get monetized soon!
@@Thissomething requirements doesn't completed or something else?
@@Thissomething can we have a talk? Can i get something where i can talk to you
@@musicifyncm I still have to get 4k Watch hours, but hopefully that will be completed soon
@@Thissomething ok best of luck buddy!
If Oak Point Texas police would get rid of the screaming loud roosters out of my neighborhood I would never get into the depressed state and I would be able to enjoy my zen Sanctuary I created on my property
Millions are depressed this world is fucking depressing 😂
Well we are responsible for that.
You make it sound so simple.. do you really think a suicidal person can just drag themselves out of bed. This advice probably works for people that dont go beyond 7 or 8 on your score sequence..
I'm sure they can drag themselves out of bed ( personal experience )
I understand how hard it is but instead of sitting around with those thoughts I might as well do some activities with those same thoughts.
With all due respect,, JP you would flip if you knew what I’ve been going thru!!!!!!!! But I can’t get a hold of you, so don’t worry, getting a lawyer asap!!!
I'm sorry for whatever you are going through and I wish you the best.
The answer is Jesus Christ.
It sounds good, but what if my best friend of 30 years has his own family and does not have time for my bullshit.😐
No disrespect, but if he's your Best Friend for that long, He Should be able to find time no matter how busy he is.
@Thissomething it's not really like that, I just don't fit in his life any longer, I'm not married, no children, he's ten years younger than me, time for me to move on.
@@steelheadstalkerTry and make new friends it's better to have no friends than friends that are no good , be your own best friend be kind to yourself and forgive yourself for mistakes in your past , the only person who's always gonna be there for you and have your best interests at heart is YOU !
Everyone talking about depression I've noticed doesn't work in a Factory. They give motivational speeches for a living 😂.. " Don't think about it" dude im at work for 11hrs a day and have to use my brain to solve problems. EHHH JUST DONT THINK ABOUT IT KID😂😂😂😂
Agreed and it's not just factory, if you have a long work period, you sometimes forget to think, It's the Breaks or the free time when the Thoughts coming rushing in again.
WHYS IT SO HARD FOR U LOT TO ACCEPT? THAT IM WEALTHY IN PAKISTAN. AND THATS WHERE IM GOING SO I DONT NEED WORK.
AND MY PPL ARE WORKING FOR FREE OUTSIDE.
SO I JUST NEED TO WRITE MY BOOK N GET THE FOOK OUTA HERE.
what are you even talking about.
You're kidding, right? I admire Jordan's Peterson intelligence and hearing his take on stuggling with depressión would probably be very interesting. But he's as qualified to teach anyone how to overcome depression as Joe Biden is in teaching how to win a debate
But I think Peterson is far more qualified because at least he has a Career related to it. He has clinical experience of the patients and the advice he gives isn't super Hard to follow in my opinion.
Lck of peer grup , uncertainty.,abt futr
This is terrible advice, it sounds like more BS from people who have never actually experienced depression.
Often my mood is worse because I've been around people because it takes so much energy to be around them, and you're already lacking energy because depression often manifests more like a physical illness than anything purely mental or emotional.
I agree that this video is a lot of nonsense.
Yes, for you, it is nonsense. There are people who find it useful so no worries.
It seems your sticky relationship topic doesn’t work:) now get depression? lol…what will be the next?
As usual, Peterson has nothing useful to say. He himself had a terrible problem with depression and had himself induced into a coma. One thing is for sure: Jung is no help. Not once has Peterson ever mentioned Albert Ellis, who transformed modern therapy, and actually does have a cure for depression. Peterson is out of his league. Ironic, since he's supposed to be a psychologist. But like many psychologists, he doesn't know thing one about how to solve emotional disturbance.
overcome depression? strong words from a man who had to go to Russia to get treatment for his. Left his marbles there too.
I understand your point, but that advice can be quite helpful and Tbh we never know that most of the people who give such advice might be suffering from the issue themselves.
As someone who has suffered from debilitating depression and anxiety for 51 years, people like this infuriate me. Do you think this actually works?? I’m here to tell you NO!!
I mean he's a psychologist and an expert in that field. He has experience with patients so he probably knows what he's talking about.
@@ThissomethingI respectfully disagree. I have dealt with many “experts” and speaking from my own experience, I can say that they are some of the most mindless idiots I’ve ever had the misfortune of having to deal with.
@@catherinep1800 that's fair. That can happen as well.
Try the books by Dr Claire Weekes "Hope and Help for your Nerves" plus follow-up books that she wrote. Life changing for many people, even after years of suffering.
Look to the size of the universe, ha! Game changer along with Rescue spray,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,🙃
Jordan is a con artist. He charges $40 subscriptions for his stupid personality website.
Also trying to put a number to how you feel or how you spend your time is bs. Asking someone how you feel from 1 to 10 makes no sense at all. And saying “spend 20% more time with your friends” also makes no sense.
I have a cousin with depression but I would not recommend Jordan’s advice to them on any day. Because Jordan doesn’t live in the real world.
**(((***** --If you feel miserable go fishing on Alaska and when you come back home you will see your life with different eyes -- how my life was so good ....I was so blind !
Friends???
take anti=depressants and your feeling fine again i promise❤ talk to your doctor / shrink
why do you look miserable in your thumbnails?
he kinda is
What do you do when the main problem is the thoughts themselves??
Well
Writing the thoughts
Meditation
Searching for certain Mental Exercises to clear the thoughts.
Then don't listen to them. You are above that.
Research & read the books by Dr Clair Weekes, "Hope and Help for your Nerves" is the 1st one. Very helpful.
This is depressing…
it is
