I have struggled w/ depression and anxiety for going on 16 years now. It’s probably the worst thing that has happened to me. When I’m depressed i feel like I’m alone and scared. I just to keep all my feelings bottled up and never really tell anyone how I felt. With my depression I started to have suicidal thoughts and saying I wanted to die. Until one day I was getting ready to go on presidents-day weekend. My mom and my doctor, who my mom works for, my doctor came over and sat down w/ my parents and I. I started to realize I was gonna go somewhere far away to get the help I needed and I did. I was about 3 hours away from my family, only got to talk to them for 5 minutes in the phone. But the place I went to was a girls home, it had horses so us young teenage girls could connect w/ the horses. The horses were out responsibility that we had to take care of. But long story short, I got released earlier that I expected. I was supposed to be there for about 4 months or more, it all just depended on how I did w/ the program. I got released two nights before Valentine’s Day, and when I saw my mom and brother I literally couldn’t stop crying. I look back to the day was admitted and knew that was my starting point for a healthy relationship w/ my family and a fresh start to bettering myself. I still to this day struggle with my depression and anxiety. But I don’t let it get to me like I used to. I also stopped having the suicidal thoughts. I still don’t know how to thank my parents and doctor for helping me get the help I needed to better myself. And that’s just part of my story!! For ppl who think they are alone in this, your really not there are so many ppl that suffer from depression and anxiety as well!! Just know that God is with you through it all!! Even if u don’t believe he is still with you!!
Mackenzie Shelton thank you for sharing your story it gives me hope that everything will get better & it’s nice to know I’m not alone! 🙏🏽💛 hate anxiety and depression worse thing ever would never wish this to anyone. Your AMAZING!
You guys/gals/bad asses digging the idea of "Mental Health Monday" vids? Felt like it could be a good way to reconnect with the roots of this channel and start the week.
Noah, have you read a book called Learned Optimism? It's hard for me to pick one resource that rises above the rest in helping me recover, but Learned Optimism was a keystone for me, and I think it would be to others. It's a legit psychology book but still a good read. This video makes me think you would enjoy it and I think people would benefit greatly from you doing a summary of it. I'm thinking of doing some videos similar to yours, because I see how important your work is. I think there's a great need for honesty and openness about this subject. I truly think it saves lives and there's millions more who would benefit. After years of struggle, I've turned a corner and want to give back. I also love connecting with people. Only problem is I don't know jack about making videos, but I'm working on it. Keep up the good work, man.
I just can’t deal with myself anymore. PTSD, anxiety, and depression has literally taken over my life. People don’t understand what one horrible action could do to one other.
Hi... I just saw this video. I read your comment. I also have the same illnesses as you... and you mentioned, The horrors of what one action can do ... I might understand.. Because some horrible action,.. has destroyed me.. and caused all these illnesses, along with insomnia. I'm unable to be apart of society. It's a struggle every day to stay alive. 🙏
I'm crying here, brother...THIS is brilliant and I can't wait to write my "vision statement of wellness"! My therapist, Luke, is going to love that I found and carried out your suggestion. Looking forward to buying Douglas Bloch's book. Thank you, Noah, for these super-helpful Mental Health Monday videos. Craig
bignoknow thanks for the love man!! I know I can do it, it's just a matter of when to start. And YOU my friend have just given me a terrific tool to use. Thank you again and much love back your way.
All the best to you brother✊️🏼 but I can only *wish* 🍀 I was as positive as you, & so excited to start something new.... Im too depressed to even pick up a pen & manually write...✍️🏻 😥
Mr. Thornton. What do you mean I "sound cringe"? No one pays me for comments...and they certainly weren't fake. That was a year ago, btw. Is there some reason that you are commenting on my comments instead of commenting directly to Noah about his video?
I have depression and anxiety. and your channel has helped me a lot, thankyou so much.... I still have depression quite bad and this video is what I needed to hear!
Laura Griffiths ....I understand & still have issues with so much. On my channel I have made a series of 5 coping skills in a playlist you may want to check out in addition to what Noah has suggested. He inspires me also! 💛 Best wishes!
Been going through anxiety, depression and derealization as well. I recently had to quit my job because I could not control my panic attacks. I have various moments of happiness but sometime they get beaten up by my depression. Trying to get through it each day.
Juan Ortiz I have everything you do too... And I also get what i can only explain as very short bursts of *euphoria* or *adrenaline* & I think OMG WTF ... I feel glorious! And as 🔜as I acknowledge the feeling' it seems to fade.... Is this what happens to you?
J̥ͦḁͦy̥ͦ-M̥ͦḁͦy̥ͦ S̥ͦt̥ͦo̥ͦj̥ͦḁͦn̥ͦo̥ͦv̥ͦi̥ͦc̥ͦ yup but if your anxiety is at its lowest then the depression will be very low as well iam pretty sure thus making u happy..try binge watching Netflix it can make u feel happy,satisfied for hours straight!
Thank you for all of these mental health videos Noah. I recently went through some major life events that sent me spiraling down a very dark and dangerous path. Your videos have been a major part in my push towards recovering. I have recommended your videos to many people I know are also struggling with depression and they seem to get help from them as well. I wanted to make sure to let you know that I, and many others, greatly appreciate all that you are doing with this channel. You are truly a life saver.
Never been sober as I am now. Being 3 months sober and it's hard man. Today, I'm supposed to go to college and I woke up without a sense in my life, and feel depressed or with no motivation or no drive. Have no spontaniety, have no joy, have no hope in future and in my capacity to deal with life without substance. My only drive is that I've been sober for 3 months when I was never able to reach a month. Thanks for this video.
Just watched this and decided to make a vision statement for myself. Although I have a long way to go, I’m so grateful for the progress I’ve made after the 6 months of hell I’ve endured. I wouldn’t have even been able to write one in the thick of it, but healing does happen even when I felt to my core that it wouldn’t. Don’t lose hope everyone!
Working out and going on medication have been life changing for me, I know its something I will struggle with for the rest of my life but I know I can get through this and I havnt felt like that in years
Your videos speak so much to me I’ve been struggling with derealization and it’s so scary it’s nice to know that someone can overcome it and I really do believe the main cause of it is weed whenever I smoke it gets worse so I’m trying to quit smoking I’m really glad I found your channel and I hope I can start to heal
i’m so depressed and it’s so hard because i don’t have anyone to talk to who doesn’t tell me i’m just being over dramatic. i want to die. and when i finally bring the courage to tell my mom she says “no you don’t. stop saying that you are draining my energy” i don’t know what to do.
"I envision myself being at peace with what is. I envision myself being calm, light-hearted, full of gratitude and love, and simply accepting of life as it is. Life is joyful, blissful even. not because of the circumstances around me, but because of my complete surrender to what is. There is no confusion, no fear, no resistance anymore"
Hey noah, how have you been doing? Your video's are sometimes so comforting to watch. Unfortunately I haven't been doing too great lately. The last 6 months I've kind of been falling into a ditch, reaching a climax about a month ago, in which I became suicidal for two weeks. It wasn't really about me being utterly hopeless, but rather about me having this strange thought that I should become utterly hopeless before I could change. That was kind of what I was trying to do whilst being at the verge of suicide... Trying to push my suffering so much that I would have some instant transformation or something. It didn't happen that way. About two weeks ago I decided that it was simply too much to keep telling myself that I needed to suffer more because I was in so much pain already, so I decided to change the belief. Now I've decided that I want to live, I've in fact tattooed the line "Don't waste it" (referring to my life) on my wrist area. I guess i'm doing better than I was when I was suicidal, but I'm still really fearful, confused and in a lot of pain occassionally. I keep a mood journal to remind myself during the worst of times that the acute suffering never lasts forever, and I keep reminding myself that "this too will change", as it had before. But I feel, I know somewhere that this suffering too has its purpose, that it gives me depth and breaks away old defective patterns. Not that I want to keep saying that I need to suffer more, i'm done with that. But I know that this pain changes me and that it too will not last forever. I'm still very uncertain and confused about the path that lays ahead, but I know I will figure it out, because It seemed many times before like there wasn't a way out and then somehow always a path opened up. Damn... life is tough sometimes. Unbelieveably tough almost. But I will go on, and I won't waste this life, whatever it implies. I know that.
I will start with the tips you listed here and in your other videos for dealing with depression everyday for a month I will put it into practice and I will comeback to update.
Thank you man. I want: Im walking and talking content with life, i feel the breeze, i laugh and make conversation with people i love, i look forward to tomorrow, i sleep well, i eat well, i am grateful and focus on the positives, i am present
I've been crying and hurting for hours, stuggling with this emptiness. I been feeling so helpless today, actually empty for months but today I broke down when normally I try to pull myself together. I even got as far as harming myself out of frustration and feeling like I needed to punish myself fo not being "normal" or "good enough." Then this video popped up on my notifications. Thank you, much needed.
I love the mental health Monday's. This advise can even do further than for depression. I'm someone who in the last year started up a business and is starting to burn out a little. I'm going to use this advice and apply it to not only my mental health but also for my business to try and direct it with more clarity As always Noah, love hearing your kind words. I appreciate them and respect them
i hope just knowing that your being prayed for will probide you with some relief. i too am going through a time of sadness myself. Im not sure why but im hoping for your prayers too, they work!
Noah thanks for the tidbit. I've been following you around for several years now and I'm impressed by how far you have come along sir. Thank you for being an inspiration and motivator for many of us. 🤜🏼🤛🏼
Good video mate! Been through depression for a long time and writing a vision-mission definitely helps you become aware of better standards and happiness!
This is a really helpful video. I immediately grabbed my notebook while watching this and wrote down what happiness would look like for me and I am already feeling driven to get to that place. Thanks, Noah
Damn Noah, such a great idea! Definitely have something to look forward to for Mondays now :) Keep it up, I have been getting better and you're definitely a reason why I have. I'm sure many will agree too. Thank you brother.
I rarely cry but something about trying to think about my perfect life has gotten me in to tears I really hope this helps thank you so much for this vid you have given me at leasta little hope 🙏
Yes, and it works! Thanks Noah for another great video, keep 'em coming! Point is not to 'say the truth', but what you wish to be and what will be. *Suspend judgement, , keep replacing bad thoughts* (which, by the way, are also often a unobjective 'reading' of reality) *with empowering statements about yourself and your life.* Like you are talking to your deeper self, your inner child if you will (not the rational-evaluating-judging self, who's also too biased as of now). Consequences: you may feel relieved and uplifted right away (and it will happen, if not progressively) and *you will be 'rewiring' your brain* to look for and enjoy the positives as a new habit. Takes sometimes, but it is very powerful. So, even if you don't have it right now or you don't believe it, trust the process and just keep doing it! *Let us keep up the good fight*, people! Love!
ive been fighting sobriety for years and havent relapesed now going on 3 mnths!!Thank you so much for these videos because me myself think some of my relapeses has been because i needed to medicate my depressed,anxious mind!!God bless yu Noah
My advice after 20 years of coping with anxiety and depression. This is what works for me 1) give up alcohol 2) quit caffeine 3) run, swim or cycle, whatever you prefer. Whatever makes you sweat hard. Do this at least 3 to 4 times a week for 30 mins 4) do stretches everyday for 15 mins to loosen nervous tension in your body 5) find a fall back anti-depressant med that works for you when things get bad, but don’t become reliant and stay on the med for more than 9 months to a year after you feel better. 6) find s hobby that excites you. 7) do an activity during the week that gets you out of your comfort zone and surrounds yourself with people. E.g Mine is salsa dancing. 8) hang out with people who fill you with energy and optimism. Ditch the narcissists and addicts.
smoozerish great advice! I will try some of these! Have had bad anxiety and depression for about 9 months. From bad breakup and also bad situations that happened 5 years in a row for me. So I appreciate honest tips and I will try this 💛🙏🏽 God bless you!
I've been doing well however it has been a rough weekend and I feel like I'm in the middle of a setback so I will be doing this now right before bed and read it tomorrow and continue for as long as I can. Thanks again for sharing!
You are awesome! Your videos helped me so much in the past. I was suffereing from depersonalization for 6 months. Its slowly gotten better over time. I was sick with a weird infection that drs kept overlooking and now i have severe panic attacks and anxiety.
I am writing this because I am not being able to share my feelings with anyone. Actually hardly anyone Cares to listen. I Feel depressed, I am unemployed , not being able to do anything on my own. I have totally wasted my life., I feel I am a loser. At times I feel so low that I don't see any light, any hope that I can do something in my life. All my friends have settled down and they Look down on me. Everyone makes fun of me. Slowly I have stopped meeting my so called friends bcoz all they do is put me down. I have become so lonely that I talk to my self at times. I cannot Share things with my mom and dad. I feel dead from inside. There's suicidal thoughts. I feel like killing myself, ending all this. But just Dnt wanna do that bcoz there's no one to look after my Mom and dad. I cry from inside that if anyone can help me . God help me to get through this tough times. I just wanted to share this as I have no one to talk to.
When you said "write a vision Of your wellness " I just about closed the video. Kind of pissed me off. I mean seriously...i am supposed to remind myself of how badly i am failing? You talked so positive about the step and it irked me. But...at the end..you chose to mentioned that "it can be a little heartbreaking" and i rewatched the video with more acceptance and empathy for you. Thank you for sharing this and it is a good suggestion.
Sometimes we hear things we don't want to hear. It's part of the battle. Just know that it is possible to overcome it. Anything is possible. Hope we can all make it through, I believe we can. You're not alone.
B Stokes part of it is to reflect and to try to figure out what could be triggering episodes. I mean sometimes we do get depressed and anxious for no reason but sometimes there is something there that we may not see that could be triggering it. It's why I use a mood tracker. I know when people are depressed sometimes there is an all or nothing thinking that everything is ruined and life will not get better but that's apart of the illness. Thoughts get clouded . Setting goals can help and when you start achieving them it can make you feel better . Easier said then done but this illness is lifelong . It's good to figure out the tools to fight this and recognize what it is. Some people are in denial
I stopped drinking July 17 2017 after being an alcoholic for 10 years and I thought after 90 days I'd feel great at this point but I feel really down and out all the time with no energy or motivation
Dear Noah, thank you for being brave and honest. As for life suggestion I don't think I can as everything I had and or wanted was taken from me my husband and my son. So I sit here in Iraq in the Army hoping. I still do my duties but am dead inside. But I do like to see how your going even after setbacks. Be strong Noah you got this.
Hey I love your videos and just wanted to tell you I've found your videos very helpful and they've really touched me. I appreciate all your videos. keep going with the youtube I love it. good stuff. keep being you and keep working out and doing your thing.
Became depressed out of nowhere, feel like there's no point to anything and just wanna understand why I am feeling this way. It's hard and im trying to get througb it
Thanks for the video brother I have had low t and fought taking trt replacement for 2 years started feeling worse then decided to do another test for low t it was worse then the first test 2 years ago total t was 120 and free t 25 I had no choice and decided to start trt I have been on the cream for 2 months now and it had already made a difference gonna try the shots this week I believe its 200mgs 1x a week thanks for your videos brother I have been a follower for a while I think about 2yrs take care please keep doing videos I actually learn a lot from them especially when you do Dr visits etc helps me to know what to look for
I am depressed just because of my parents because they never understand me in India it is normal that the society or colony in which you are they use show that your child is not good then my son it so much bad habit and just because of this I never feel sorry for anything and know I am thing to take poison and dead
What if your childhood memories that you want to forget kept coming back even though you don't want to remember it? (and it's one of the factors that trigger your sadness and anxiety) You want someone to discuss your problems with but your hesitating because what happened to you is extremely sad and you don't want them to change their perception of yourself upon knowing your life. What will you do?
i dont know how but im hurting really bad mentally and physically, 2 years ago my dad passed and since then ive been pushing all my emotions away. i was fine for the first year or so but since 2019 started i have been getting worse and worse
I have depression, I feal like people are never apreciating anything i do, Does not matter if i work my a'' off at work, or if i dont, Same resolt. I dont want to spend my life alone, But i find myself pushing people away, Because when there is no one around, No one is complaining about me. Feals like its in my nature to destroy myself.
ive done alot of searching on this subject recently as i have been battling with heavy anxiety and depression for years. Just wanted to say that this is the first clip i have watched and your approach and explanation has hit the spot , its given me that first step to jump in and tackle this . Brilliant and love your work
I'm really out of tolerance for life at this point...I think this channel is probably one of the only things keeping me tethered to this world... I mean fuck my life, this shit is hard. How can I live when the first thing I wake up thinking about is SUICIDE??!!
vidmaster011 god this hurts my heart to read. For whatever it's worth, suicide was the first thing I thought of the moment I opened my eyes and all I thought of throughout the day till I went to bed for 2+ years before it became more intermittent and then finally became seldom. I was POSITIVE I'd leave this world early by my own hands but in spite of myself I wound up wanting to live eventually. I don't know what it's going to take for you or when it's going to happen, but I believe you are meant to be here and that you will find stability. Don't give up.
Tiffany Nicole as much as I want to get better. I can't. I graduated high school class of 2016 with FLYING GRADES and am now stuck at this dead end 3rd shift job with managers who treat me like a child and maximize my chances of failure and feeling like a failure. I feel like a child unworthy of walking among the elite. Lacking the respect of the elite. If I quit then I lose everything. I sleep the sun away and when I wake up, gotta get ready to go right back to the hell hole of a job. Come home, sleep only to wake up again and it's time to get ready to go. I've lived this cycle for a little over a year now. I was pulled into the office of my job because of cutting and they noticed it. I'm going in circles and ever since I left school I feel my mind becoming more and more corrupt, my body is changing in a bad way, I'm eating more poorly from all my stress and no one at my job understands my anxiety. Jesus H. Fuck...I'm so far gone. Would you believe me if I told you as much as Noah spends his time trying to help us all, I feel like I'm letting him down everyday because I come back to vent, but I have no where else to go and no one to talk to...
vidmaster011 you are so young! Why stay at a job that you hate? I know I have some nerve because I did and guess what it made my anxiety and depression even worse that I had nightmares about my job and even thought about the damn crap on my days off. I had a boss that caused drama and I was walking on eggshells . I had coworkers that didn't want to help me and I felt I was doing all the work. Not only that the stress of someone's life in my hands ( I work in healthcare).sometimes I would drive to work and thought maybe I could just drive my car off the road so I don't have to deal with management and treated like crap. That In itself scared me. I knew I was burnt out but I didn't want to leave the people I care for because I thought it would hurt them. I put them before myself. I finally left last month . Currently working with a better company though the pay sucks. I will find something else . Are you in school? If not have you thought about going to college? There's so many opportunities . Like i said you are so young. You don't want to stay at a dead end job you hate.
vidmaster011 I did exactly what you did. I went to work, eat, come home and sleep. Then dread my job hating it because I didn't know what I was coming to It just kept cycling and repeating. My life was just work and I was miserable . Depression got worse added with the stress and being around ungrateful management. I was stuck in a loop. It's no way to live . I honestly think you need to find another job. Seriously it drove me to my breaking point and made me worse in the long run . We can't heal doing the same thing over and over again. I regret staying at that place for years but it's not something I can change but learn from it
I have a friend who is going through depression right now, and it might even be too late to save him/her. My friend won't seek help, and has an internal bleeding, but won't seek help with that either, because of the thought that it might kill him/her at some point. I've tried to help, even with my depression and all, but it does not seem to change his/her mind. I don't know what I should do and I dont want to lose my friend in this battle against depression, a battle that I'm also going through, so it would just be too much pain to lose someone like that. Please help me out. Edit: The person is really fragile and has gone through enough, I don't know if videos about depression would make it worse or help.
Thanks, I've done all but literaly calling an ambulance or psychiatrist, her parents already know it, but it has just gotten really bad for her. I just wish i could help more, but I really don't know how to do it.
Same as last time i know Lot of you are here for noah but i see alot of questions in the comments about depression/anxiety/dissociation i feel i can awnser besides that i hope the reason you clicked on this video gets better !
Elijah Cummings You have advice? I'm glad to say that my depression has lifted for a good 2 weeks now and it hasn't come back. I get anxiety occasionally but it's not too bad because it only last for like 30 minutes and it's gone for the rest of the day. What I'm most struggling with derealization. Dissociation. I feel like a zombie who's out of touch. That's also not that bad but it's not getting any better. Like I can deal with it but it gets annoying. Any advice?
Alex Majin well i find a mixture of little things work sunglasses help cutting out caffine and just really trying to connect with people around you i use to chat with strangers at stores just to try to snap back depersonalixation just passes melatonin also worked for me i know what you meam by the zombie state and its like your acting out your life just have to roll with the punches and find small relive hang in there mine is completely gone and i had i so bad i was convinced i had died and gone to hell im great and you WILL be too
I want to describe what I feel so badly But have no words to say it Numb I don't enjoy anything anymore Imagine a complete loss of appetite Its been over a week I haven't eaten a thing I can't I feel nauseated at the thought of food I have this deeep feeling of nothing matters anymore Just nothing Walking around numb Staring blankly and thinking will this ever go away? At the same time not caring Thinking, why don't I get hungry anymore? Oh well fuckit does it matter guess we'll wait it out and see Many people have heard the term rock bottom Few think they understand it Even fewer think they've been there But if you've broken below rock bottom like this You will know what I mean Every step you take doesn't matter You don't wanna talk You don't wanna play games You don't wanna socialise You don't wanna watch TV You're truly *numb* Now I ask you Tell me what happiness is?? Cause i can't feel it I honestly don't wanna die I just wanna wake up one day Open my eyes And feel alright No Happy I want to be awake because reality is finally better than sleep Look into the eyes of the love of my life And try to hold onto that moment forever Knowing I'm her world and she's mine That's what I want
I love all you videos Noha!!! Thank you so much!! I have Been on TRT for 2 months now I feel better but I have noticed some increased ANXIETY and sometimes irritated SINCE starting. I am on 200 mg a week with hcg and 2 mg arimedex. Did you experience this in the beginning? And if so did it finally level itself off. ? I’m thinking about lowering the dose do you think that may help ?I guess I have to dial in the sweet spot. I don’t want to give it up yet, because I have been feeling better physically. Thank you so much for all your hard work and dedication Craig
I feel like you can really help me. I just saw your alcohol video. My dad died 2 years ago from being an alcoholic and I've spiralled into depression and anxiety. I feel completely alone and I have no one to talk to :(
Poppy Chiquita do you have health insurance? Get help because untreated trust me it will most likely get worse . I let it go for years chalked it up to just being a teenager and my depression and anxiety kept getting worse . I told myself I'd just snap out of it and called myself weak. In my mid 20s I started isolating myself , eliminating my social skills and having thoughts of suicide. It's no way to live . I eventually got help with meds and therapy. I still have moments but I'm def better at figuring out triggers and self talk. I used to be so negative towards myself no wonder my depression got worse. There are some cognitive behavior therapy self help books too. Plenty of ones on Amazon
I'm doing CBT right now and I'm having a difficult time using the thought record in my head in the moment. It's the hardest thing I've ever done I just want to have controlled anxiety. I've also noticed the CBT made my depression a little worse because I find nothing's working and this is literally the last thing to overcome anxiety Man I hate feeling hopeless.
do not be depressed.... statement "I was born too late to explore the earth I was born too early to explore the universe I was born just in time to explore dank memes" is false beacuse you don`t do things instantly, you need to work to be acknowledged by the world, be exploring the real adventure.. as i said.... you still can explore the earth, there are many unknown islands near north pole.. in 20 years there will be a base on mars, you can explore the universe, you just need to wait a few decades.. you can seek secrets deep in the oceans, humans know more about the universe than the seas.. you can seek untold secrets in the mystery of medieval scripts..

T M Niacin and zinc
T M big dose nicin
Look into oxytocin supplements. I was prescribed this and it's helped. There are natural ways to get this as well.
I have struggled w/ depression and anxiety for going on 16 years now. It’s probably the worst thing that has happened to me. When I’m depressed i feel like I’m alone and scared. I just to keep all my feelings bottled up and never really tell anyone how I felt. With my depression I started to have suicidal thoughts and saying I wanted to die. Until one day I was getting ready to go on presidents-day weekend. My mom and my doctor, who my mom works for, my doctor came over and sat down w/ my parents and I. I started to realize I was gonna go somewhere far away to get the help I needed and I did. I was about 3 hours away from my family, only got to talk to them for 5 minutes in the phone. But the place I went to was a girls home, it had horses so us young teenage girls could connect w/ the horses. The horses were out responsibility that we had to take care of. But long story short, I got released earlier that I expected. I was supposed to be there for about 4 months or more, it all just depended on how I did w/ the program. I got released two nights before Valentine’s Day, and when I saw my mom and brother I literally couldn’t stop crying. I look back to the day was admitted and knew that was my starting point for a healthy relationship w/ my family and a fresh start to bettering myself. I still to this day struggle with my depression and anxiety. But I don’t let it get to me like I used to. I also stopped having the suicidal thoughts. I still don’t know how to thank my parents and doctor for helping me get the help I needed to better myself. And that’s just part of my story!! For ppl who think they are alone in this, your really not there are so many ppl that suffer from depression and anxiety as well!! Just know that God is with you through it all!! Even if u don’t believe he is still with you!!
Mackenzie Shelton thank you for sharing your story it gives me hope that everything will get better & it’s nice to know I’m not alone! 🙏🏽💛 hate anxiety and depression worse thing ever would never wish this to anyone. Your AMAZING!
You guys/gals/bad asses digging the idea of "Mental Health Monday" vids? Felt like it could be a good way to reconnect with the roots of this channel and start the week.
bignoknow I'm digggggin
Definitely, keep it up
Noah, have you read a book called Learned Optimism? It's hard for me to pick one resource that rises above the rest in helping me recover, but Learned Optimism was a keystone for me, and I think it would be to others. It's a legit psychology book but still a good read. This video makes me think you would enjoy it and I think people would benefit greatly from you doing a summary of it.
I'm thinking of doing some videos similar to yours, because I see how important your work is. I think there's a great need for honesty and openness about this subject. I truly think it saves lives and there's millions more who would benefit. After years of struggle, I've turned a corner and want to give back. I also love connecting with people. Only problem is I don't know jack about making videos, but I'm working on it.
Keep up the good work, man.
bignoknow
digging this video and the subject.
Thank you!!
Do it! I will check out the book and support you. The more people that speak up the better. No telling who's life you might impact. I just subbed.
I just can’t deal with myself anymore. PTSD, anxiety, and depression has literally taken over my life. People don’t understand what one horrible action could do to one other.
Hi...
I just saw this video.
I read your comment.
I also have the same illnesses as you... and you mentioned,
The horrors of what one action can do ...
I might understand..
Because some horrible action,.. has destroyed me.. and caused all these illnesses, along with insomnia.
I'm unable to be apart of society. It's a struggle every day to stay alive.
🙏
I'm crying here, brother...THIS is brilliant and I can't wait to write my "vision statement of wellness"! My therapist, Luke, is going to love that I found and carried out your suggestion. Looking forward to buying Douglas Bloch's book. Thank you, Noah, for these super-helpful Mental Health Monday videos. Craig
Sending so much love your way Craig. YOU GOT THIS.
bignoknow thanks for the love man!! I know I can do it, it's just a matter of when to start. And YOU my friend have just given me a terrific tool to use. Thank you again and much love back your way.
All the best to you brother✊️🏼 but I can only *wish* 🍀 I was as positive as you, & so excited to start something new....
Im too depressed to even pick up a pen & manually write...✍️🏻 😥
How'd it go?
Mr. Thornton. What do you mean I "sound cringe"? No one pays me for comments...and they certainly weren't fake. That was a year ago, btw. Is there some reason that you are commenting on my comments instead of commenting directly to Noah about his video?
I have depression and anxiety. and your channel has helped me a lot, thankyou so much.... I still have depression quite bad and this video is what I needed to hear!
I'm so sorry Laura, never give up.
bignoknow I will never give thankyou so much, just know that you have helped someone in the world
Hang in there, Laura, it gets better.
Laura Griffiths ....I understand & still have issues with so much.
On my channel I have made a series of 5 coping skills in a playlist you may want to check out in addition to what Noah has suggested.
He inspires me also! 💛
Best wishes!
R.P. McMurphy thankyou I will
Thank you so much Noah. Keep supporting us in our difficult times. We need you. It's very painful in here.
Been going through anxiety, depression and derealization as well. I recently had to quit my job because I could not control my panic attacks. I have various moments of happiness but sometime they get beaten up by my depression. Trying to get through it each day.
Juan Ortiz I have everything you do too... And I also get what i can only explain as very short bursts of *euphoria* or *adrenaline* & I think OMG WTF ... I feel glorious! And as 🔜as I acknowledge the feeling' it seems to fade.... Is this what happens to you?
J̥ͦḁͦy̥ͦ-M̥ͦḁͦy̥ͦ S̥ͦt̥ͦo̥ͦj̥ͦḁͦn̥ͦo̥ͦv̥ͦi̥ͦc̥ͦ yup but if your anxiety is at its lowest then the depression will be very low as well iam pretty sure thus making u happy..try binge watching Netflix it can make u feel happy,satisfied for hours straight!
Same here bro stay strong change happens
Thank you for all of these mental health videos Noah. I recently went through some major life events that sent me spiraling down a very dark and dangerous path. Your videos have been a major part in my push towards recovering. I have recommended your videos to many people I know are also struggling with depression and they seem to get help from them as well. I wanted to make sure to let you know that I, and many others, greatly appreciate all that you are doing with this channel. You are truly a life saver.
Never been sober as I am now. Being 3 months sober and it's hard man. Today, I'm supposed to go to college and I woke up without a sense in my life, and feel depressed or with no motivation or no drive. Have no spontaniety, have no joy, have no hope in future and in my capacity to deal with life without substance. My only drive is that I've been sober for 3 months when I was never able to reach a month. Thanks for this video.
Just watched this and decided to make a vision statement for myself. Although I have a long way to go, I’m so grateful for the progress I’ve made after the 6 months of hell I’ve endured. I wouldn’t have even been able to write one in the thick of it, but healing does happen even when I felt to my core that it wouldn’t. Don’t lose hope everyone!
I'm @ 7 months 😢...
How are you doing now? I hope better...
I should try this...
Working out and going on medication have been life changing for me, I know its something I will struggle with for the rest of my life but I know I can get through this and I havnt felt like that in years
I'm so relieved you decided to continue making videos
I honestly don’t feel like I could pull myself to do this, but I at least haven’t given up hope that things will get better.
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS EXERCISE FOR THE MIND!
Thank you for sharing!
Your videos speak so much to me I’ve been struggling with derealization and it’s so scary it’s nice to know that someone can overcome it and I really do believe the main cause of it is weed whenever I smoke it gets worse so I’m trying to quit smoking I’m really glad I found your channel and I hope I can start to heal
i’m so depressed and it’s so hard because i don’t have anyone to talk to who doesn’t tell me i’m just being over dramatic. i want to die. and when i finally bring the courage to tell my mom she says “no you don’t. stop saying that you are draining my energy” i don’t know what to do.
"I envision myself being at peace with what is. I envision myself being calm, light-hearted, full of gratitude and love, and simply accepting of life as it is. Life is joyful, blissful even. not because of the circumstances around me, but because of my complete surrender to what is. There is no confusion, no fear, no resistance anymore"
Hey noah, how have you been doing? Your video's are sometimes so comforting to watch. Unfortunately I haven't been doing too great lately. The last 6 months I've kind of been falling into a ditch, reaching a climax about a month ago, in which I became suicidal for two weeks. It wasn't really about me being utterly hopeless, but rather about me having this strange thought that I should become utterly hopeless before I could change. That was kind of what I was trying to do whilst being at the verge of suicide... Trying to push my suffering so much that I would have some instant transformation or something. It didn't happen that way. About two weeks ago I decided that it was simply too much to keep telling myself that I needed to suffer more because I was in so much pain already, so I decided to change the belief.
Now I've decided that I want to live, I've in fact tattooed the line "Don't waste it" (referring to my life) on my wrist area. I guess i'm doing better than I was when I was suicidal, but I'm still really fearful, confused and in a lot of pain occassionally. I keep a mood journal to remind myself during the worst of times that the acute suffering never lasts forever, and I keep reminding myself that "this too will change", as it had before.
But I feel, I know somewhere that this suffering too has its purpose, that it gives me depth and breaks away old defective patterns. Not that I want to keep saying that I need to suffer more, i'm done with that. But I know that this pain changes me and that it too will not last forever. I'm still very uncertain and confused about the path that lays ahead, but I know I will figure it out, because It seemed many times before like there wasn't a way out and then somehow always a path opened up.
Damn... life is tough sometimes. Unbelieveably tough almost. But I will go on, and I won't waste this life, whatever it implies. I know that.
It's not all ways how, it's when, that's how I look at it, time is a healer
Never thought about writing a "Vision Statement" - what a great idea!
Thanks Noah - you're awesome!
I'm only the messenger on this idea but I am happy to share what was freely shared with me :)
Take a deep breath and just let it go . Ur holding on onto to many negative feelings.
I will start with the tips you listed here and in your other videos for dealing with depression everyday for a month I will put it into practice and I will comeback to update.
hey, come back! how are you?
Thank you for this, I'm
Crying my eyes out listening to this.
stay brave
Thanks I'm trying with everything I could in me
Thanks Noah. Every depressed and anxious person should read "Feeling Good" by Dr. David Burns.
Thank you man. I want: Im walking and talking content with life, i feel the breeze, i laugh and make conversation with people i love, i look forward to tomorrow, i sleep well, i eat well, i am grateful and focus on the positives, i am present
I've been crying and hurting for hours, stuggling with this emptiness.
I been feeling so helpless today, actually empty for months but today I broke down when normally I try to pull myself together.
I even got as far as harming myself out of frustration and feeling like I needed to punish myself fo not being "normal" or "good enough."
Then this video popped up on my notifications.
Thank you, much needed.
Ana Ponce thank you gor those encouraging words and to know I'm not alone helps. Thank you so much! Bless your heart. ❤
BabyDollManikin I've been there . These videos and pinning positive quotes on Pinterest has helped
Beautiful message bro.....EVERYONE....DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO TO WIN....LIVE *YOUR* LIFE
I love the mental health Monday's. This advise can even do further than for depression. I'm someone who in the last year started up a business and is starting to burn out a little. I'm going to use this advice and apply it to not only my mental health but also for my business to try and direct it with more clarity
As always Noah, love hearing your kind words. I appreciate them and respect them
I can't think of anything positive to write or think about There is a huge void inside me that I want to disappear
Same here. ..😢
i hope just knowing that your being prayed for will probide you with some relief. i too am going through a time of sadness myself. Im not sure why but im hoping for your prayers too, they work!
Noah thanks for the tidbit. I've been following you around for several years now and I'm impressed by how far you have come along sir. Thank you for being an inspiration and motivator for many of us. 🤜🏼🤛🏼
I wish I'd feel sssooooooo much better physically, mentally, and emotionally!!! I love this video too brother! Much love!
Good video mate!
Been through depression for a long time and writing a vision-mission definitely helps you become aware of better standards and happiness!
This is a really helpful video. I immediately grabbed my notebook while watching this and wrote down what happiness would look like for me and I am already feeling driven to get to that place. Thanks, Noah
That's awesome. I will be re doing this as well.
You save my soul. You have no idea how your videos help me.
Damn Noah, such a great idea! Definitely have something to look forward to for Mondays now :) Keep it up, I have been getting better and you're definitely a reason why I have. I'm sure many will agree too. Thank you brother.
I rarely cry but something about trying to think about my perfect life has gotten me in to tears I really hope this helps thank you so much for this vid you have given me at leasta little hope 🙏
Yes, and it works! Thanks Noah for another great video, keep 'em coming!
Point is not to 'say the truth', but what you wish to be and what will be. *Suspend judgement, , keep replacing bad thoughts* (which, by the way, are also often a unobjective 'reading' of reality) *with empowering statements about yourself and your life.*
Like you are talking to your deeper self, your inner child if you will (not the rational-evaluating-judging self, who's also too biased as of now).
Consequences: you may feel relieved and uplifted right away (and it will happen, if not progressively) and *you will be 'rewiring' your brain* to look for and enjoy the positives as a new habit. Takes sometimes, but it is very powerful.
So, even if you don't have it right now or you don't believe it, trust the process and just keep doing it!
*Let us keep up the good fight*, people! Love!
Is it okay that i'm crying hard watching this and i don't want to stop?
ive been fighting sobriety for years and havent relapesed now going on 3 mnths!!Thank you so much for these videos because me myself think some of my relapeses has been because i needed to medicate my depressed,anxious mind!!God bless yu Noah
My advice after 20 years of coping with anxiety and depression. This is what works for me
1) give up alcohol
2) quit caffeine
3) run, swim or cycle, whatever you prefer. Whatever makes you sweat hard. Do this at least 3 to 4 times a week for 30 mins
4) do stretches everyday for 15 mins to loosen nervous tension in your body
5) find a fall back anti-depressant med that works for you when things get bad, but don’t become reliant and stay on the med for more than 9 months to a year after you feel better.
6) find s hobby that excites you.
7) do an activity during the week that gets you out of your comfort zone and surrounds yourself with people. E.g Mine is salsa dancing.
8) hang out with people who fill you with energy and optimism. Ditch the narcissists and addicts.
smoozerish great advice! I will try some of these! Have had bad anxiety and depression for about 9 months. From bad breakup and also bad situations that happened 5 years in a row for me. So I appreciate honest tips and I will try this 💛🙏🏽 God bless you!
I've been doing well however it has been a rough weekend and I feel like I'm in the middle of a setback so I will be doing this now right before bed and read it tomorrow and continue for as long as I can. Thanks again for sharing!
Fair dues! A great idea in giving a concrete action to be done rather than a cliched speech. Keep up the good work.
Noah i have been depressed going on 2 years i just dont see a way out i feel like im loosing the battle.i dont think there is no hope left for me0
Just read ur post I’m feeling same. How are you doing
You are awesome! Your videos helped me so much in the past. I was suffereing from depersonalization for 6 months. Its slowly gotten better over time. I was sick with a weird infection that drs kept overlooking and now i have severe panic attacks and anxiety.
So sorry :( Stay brave.
I am writing this because I am not being able to share my feelings with anyone. Actually hardly anyone Cares to listen. I Feel depressed, I am unemployed , not being able to do anything on my own. I have totally wasted my life., I feel I am a loser. At times I feel so low that I don't see any light, any hope that I can do something in my life. All my friends have settled down and they Look down on me. Everyone makes fun of me. Slowly I have stopped meeting my so called friends bcoz all they do is put me down. I have become so lonely that I talk to my self at times. I cannot Share things with my mom and dad. I feel dead from inside. There's suicidal thoughts. I feel like killing myself, ending all this. But just Dnt wanna do that bcoz there's no one to look after my Mom and dad. I cry from inside that if anyone can help me . God help me to get through this tough times.
I just wanted to share this as I have no one to talk to.
Are you okay now Aryan?
My depression is so bad that I’m constantly in pain mentally and physically, been like that for 5 years
When you said "write a vision Of your wellness " I just about closed the video. Kind of pissed me off. I mean seriously...i am supposed to remind myself of how badly i am failing? You talked so positive about the step and it irked me. But...at the end..you chose to mentioned that "it can be a little heartbreaking" and i rewatched the video with more acceptance and empathy for you. Thank you for sharing this and it is a good suggestion.
Sometimes we hear things we don't want to hear. It's part of the battle. Just know that it is possible to overcome it. Anything is possible. Hope we can all make it through, I believe we can. You're not alone.
B Stokes part of it is to reflect and to try to figure out what could be triggering episodes. I mean sometimes we do get depressed and anxious for no reason but sometimes there is something there that we may not see that could be triggering it. It's why I use a mood tracker. I know when people are depressed sometimes there is an all or nothing thinking that everything is ruined and life will not get better but that's apart of the illness. Thoughts get clouded . Setting goals can help and when you start achieving them it can make you feel better . Easier said then done but this illness is lifelong . It's good to figure out the tools to fight this and recognize what it is. Some people are in denial
I stopped drinking July 17 2017 after being an alcoholic for 10 years and I thought after 90 days I'd feel great at this point but I feel really down and out all the time with no energy or motivation
How courageous you are. Hang in there. It WILL get better, believe it or not. The advice on this website is spot on.
Dear Noah, thank you for being brave and honest. As for life suggestion I don't think I can as everything I had and or wanted was taken from me my husband and my son. So I sit here in Iraq in the Army hoping. I still do my duties but am dead inside. But I do like to see how your going even after setbacks. Be strong Noah you got this.
Arianna Medici please be strong too
Arianna Medici I just wanted to tell you thank you for your service in the army. If takes guts to do what you are doing
Hey I love your videos and just wanted to tell you I've found your videos very helpful and they've really touched me. I appreciate all your videos. keep going with the youtube I love it. good stuff. keep being you and keep working out and doing your thing.
I appreciate the kindness boss. Hope you are doing well.
Became depressed out of nowhere, feel like there's no point to anything and just wanna understand why I am feeling this way. It's hard and im trying to get througb it
Another great video... Thanks big... Your helping alot of people and I appritiate everything you do.. Your an inspiring person..
I appreciated boss.
Thanks for the video brother I have had low t and fought taking trt replacement for 2 years started feeling worse then decided to do another test for low t it was worse then the first test 2 years ago total t was 120 and free t 25 I had no choice and decided to start trt I have been on the cream for 2 months now and it had already made a difference gonna try the shots this week I believe its 200mgs 1x a week thanks for your videos brother I have been a follower for a while I think about 2yrs take care please keep doing videos I actually learn a lot from them especially when you do Dr visits etc helps me to know what to look for
Very nice Noah, I will give this a go. Thank you.
Thank you for your video, it is really useful to learn new vocabulary in English!
I am depressed just because of my parents because they never understand me in India it is normal that the society or colony in which you are they use show that your child is not good then my son it so much bad habit and just because of this I never feel sorry for anything and know I am thing to take poison and dead
What if your childhood memories that you want to forget kept coming back even though you don't want to remember it? (and it's one of the factors that trigger your sadness and anxiety) You want someone to discuss your problems with but your hesitating because what happened to you is extremely sad and you don't want them to change their perception of yourself upon knowing your life. What will you do?
i dont know how but im hurting really bad mentally and physically, 2 years ago my dad passed and since then ive been pushing all my emotions away. i was fine for the first year or so but since 2019 started i have been getting worse and worse
Much love to you big guy your a true inspiration for me.
Thank you Noah. Stay strong
I have depression, I feal like people are never apreciating anything i do, Does not matter if i work my a'' off at work, or if i dont, Same resolt. I dont want to spend my life alone, But i find myself pushing people away, Because when there is no one around, No one is complaining about me. Feals like its in my nature to destroy myself.
ive done alot of searching on this subject recently as i have been battling with heavy anxiety and depression for years. Just wanted to say that this is the first clip i have watched and your approach and explanation has hit the spot , its given me that first step to jump in and tackle this . Brilliant and love your work
I'm really out of tolerance for life at this point...I think this channel is probably one of the only things keeping me tethered to this world...
I mean fuck my life, this shit is hard. How can I live when the first thing I wake up thinking about is SUICIDE??!!
Well said, I'm going through hell at the moment. Noah is my rock.
vidmaster011 god this hurts my heart to read. For whatever it's worth, suicide was the first thing I thought of the moment I opened my eyes and all I thought of throughout the day till I went to bed for 2+ years before it became more intermittent and then finally became seldom. I was POSITIVE I'd leave this world early by my own hands but in spite of myself I wound up wanting to live eventually. I don't know what it's going to take for you or when it's going to happen, but I believe you are meant to be here and that you will find stability. Don't give up.
Tiffany Nicole as much as I want to get better. I can't. I graduated high school class of 2016 with FLYING GRADES and am now stuck at this dead end 3rd shift job with managers who treat me like a child and maximize my chances of failure and feeling like a failure. I feel like a child unworthy of walking among the elite. Lacking the respect of the elite. If I quit then I lose everything. I sleep the sun away and when I wake up, gotta get ready to go right back to the hell hole of a job. Come home, sleep only to wake up again and it's time to get ready to go. I've lived this cycle for a little over a year now. I was pulled into the office of my job because of cutting and they noticed it. I'm going in circles and ever since I left school I feel my mind becoming more and more corrupt, my body is changing in a bad way, I'm eating more poorly from all my stress and no one at my job understands my anxiety. Jesus H. Fuck...I'm so far gone. Would you believe me if I told you as much as Noah spends his time trying to help us all, I feel like I'm letting him down everyday because I come back to vent, but I have no where else to go and no one to talk to...
vidmaster011 you are so young! Why stay at a job that you hate? I know I have some nerve because I did and guess what it made my anxiety and depression even worse that I had nightmares about my job and even thought about the damn crap on my days off. I had a boss that caused drama and I was walking on eggshells . I had coworkers that didn't want to help me and I felt I was doing all the work. Not only that the stress of someone's life in my hands ( I work in healthcare).sometimes I would drive to work and thought maybe I could just drive my car off the road so I don't have to deal with management and treated like crap. That In itself scared me. I knew I was burnt out but I didn't want to leave the people I care for because I thought it would hurt them. I put them before myself. I finally left last month . Currently working with a better company though the pay sucks. I will find something else . Are you in school? If not have you thought about going to college? There's so many opportunities . Like i said you are so young. You don't want to stay at a dead end job you hate.
vidmaster011 I did exactly what you did. I went to work, eat, come home and sleep. Then dread my job hating it because I didn't know what I was coming to It just kept cycling and repeating. My life was just work and I was miserable . Depression got worse added with the stress and being around ungrateful management. I was stuck in a loop. It's no way to live . I honestly think you need to find another job. Seriously it drove me to my breaking point and made me worse in the long run . We can't heal doing the same thing over and over again. I regret staying at that place for years but it's not something I can change but learn from it
I have a friend who is going through depression right now, and it might even be too late to save him/her. My friend won't seek help, and has an internal bleeding, but won't seek help with that either, because of the thought that it might kill him/her at some point.
I've tried to help, even with my depression and all, but it does not seem to change his/her mind. I don't know what I should do and I dont want to lose my friend in this battle against depression, a battle that I'm also going through, so it would just be too much pain to lose someone like that. Please help me out.
Edit: The person is really fragile and has gone through enough, I don't know if videos about depression would make it worse or help.
Thanks, I've done all but literaly calling an ambulance or psychiatrist, her parents already know it, but it has just gotten really bad for her. I just wish i could help more, but I really don't know how to do it.
I WISH I SAW THIS COMMENT SOONER💜
I got an annulment today because I was used for a USA visa and I was so happy I relapsed.
I don't know what to do . does anyone wanna start a groupchat and thats where we express ourselves daily / talk about our day
You're a good man. Thank you.
Great idea mental health Mondays, cheers
Same as last time i know Lot of you are here for noah but i see alot of questions in the comments about depression/anxiety/dissociation i feel i can awnser besides that i hope the reason you clicked on this video gets better !
Elijah Cummings
You have advice? I'm glad to say that my depression has lifted for a good 2 weeks now and it hasn't come back. I get anxiety occasionally but it's not too bad because it only last for like 30 minutes and it's gone for the rest of the day. What I'm most struggling with derealization. Dissociation. I feel like a zombie who's out of touch. That's also not that bad but it's not getting any better. Like I can deal with it but it gets annoying. Any advice?
Alex Majin well i find a mixture of little things work sunglasses help cutting out caffine and just really trying to connect with people around you i use to chat with strangers at stores just to try to snap back depersonalixation just passes melatonin also worked for me i know what you meam by the zombie state and its like your acting out your life just have to roll with the punches and find small relive hang in there mine is completely gone and i had i so bad i was convinced i had died and gone to hell im great and you WILL be too
Alex Majin sorry for the poor grammar
Thank you
thank you for making these videos
your videos help in many ways
AWESOME message!
I want to describe what I feel so badly
But have no words to say it
Numb
I don't enjoy anything anymore
Imagine a complete loss of appetite
Its been over a week I haven't eaten a thing
I can't
I feel nauseated at the thought of food
I have this deeep feeling of nothing matters anymore
Just nothing
Walking around numb
Staring blankly and thinking will this ever go away?
At the same time not caring
Thinking, why don't I get hungry anymore?
Oh well fuckit does it matter guess we'll wait it out and see
Many people have heard the term rock bottom
Few think they understand it
Even fewer think they've been there
But if you've broken below rock bottom like this
You will know what I mean
Every step you take doesn't matter
You don't wanna talk
You don't wanna play games
You don't wanna socialise
You don't wanna watch TV
You're truly *numb*
Now I ask you
Tell me what happiness is??
Cause i can't feel it
I honestly don't wanna die
I just wanna wake up one day
Open my eyes
And feel alright
No
Happy
I want to be awake because reality is finally better than sleep
Look into the eyes of the love of my life
And try to hold onto that moment forever
Knowing
I'm her world and she's mine
That's what I want
I love all you videos Noha!!! Thank you so much!! I have Been on TRT for 2 months now I feel better but I have noticed some increased ANXIETY and sometimes irritated SINCE starting. I am on 200 mg a week with hcg and 2 mg arimedex. Did you experience this in the beginning? And if so did it finally level itself off. ? I’m thinking about lowering the dose do you think that may help ?I guess I have to dial in the sweet spot. I don’t want to give it up yet, because I have been feeling better physically. Thank you so much for all your hard work and dedication Craig
you should do a podcast thingy, or find away to get your talks on itunes so i can find it on my podcast app thingy on my phone
Maybe sometime in the near future. Cool suggestion.
i know how it is brother but be strong live the life
you obviously havent watched the video xd
Sounds good, but my ADHD + anxiety & depression, prevented me frm listening 2 the entire Talk...*sigh*
I feel like you can really help me. I just saw your alcohol video. My dad died 2 years ago from being an alcoholic and I've spiralled into depression and anxiety. I feel completely alone and I have no one to talk to :(
Poppy Chiquita do you have health insurance? Get help because untreated trust me it will most likely get worse . I let it go for years chalked it up to just being a teenager and my depression and anxiety kept getting worse . I told myself I'd just snap out of it and called myself weak. In my mid 20s I started isolating myself , eliminating my social skills and having thoughts of suicide. It's no way to live . I eventually got help with meds and therapy. I still have moments but I'm def better at figuring out triggers and self talk. I used to be so negative towards myself no wonder my depression got worse. There are some cognitive behavior therapy self help books too. Plenty of ones on Amazon
Hey stay strong hope noha reply to you , may GOD JESUS CHRIST protect you from all evil.
I don't know how to run away from myself anymore
great advice. love u man
Im fighting hard , but i think i will have to let it go
Thanks man! Love ya!!
Luh you too bro
I'm doing CBT right now and I'm having a difficult time using the thought record in my head in the moment. It's the hardest thing I've ever done I just want to have controlled anxiety. I've also noticed the CBT made my depression a little worse because I find nothing's working and this is literally the last thing to overcome anxiety Man I hate feeling hopeless.
Have you tried meditating with UA-cam videos using headphones? They pummle anxiety.
I can't even vision my wellness at this point.
do not be depressed....
statement
"I was born too late to explore the earth
I was born too early to explore the universe
I was born just in time to explore dank memes"
is false beacuse you don`t do things instantly, you need to work to be acknowledged by the world, be exploring the real adventure..
as i said....
you still can explore the earth, there are many unknown islands near north pole..
in 20 years there will be a base on mars, you can explore the universe, you just need to wait a few decades..
you can seek secrets deep in the oceans, humans know more about the universe than the seas..
you can seek untold secrets in the mystery of medieval scripts..
