- I recently found out I have depression, and in this sit-down video I talk through how and why I got here, but also next steps moving forward. As I made a promise to share with you my reality through my journey through medicine, it only made sense to be transparent in the hopes that it might help a soul or two. I am hoping to vlog my journey to (hopefully a) recovery and I am grateful for you being a part of this. I hope you are taking the time to grab your tea & check in with yourself from time to time.

You’re such an incredible person and an inspiration to so many!! Thank you for being honest and open about your struggles💗
💗
I can’t stress enough how much you have inspired all of us. Your honesty is so refreshing that it just makes us feel part of the universe if you know what I mean. We experience the same things and appreciate you sharing your experiences. Don’t stop if you can. Please keep posting. That coworker to me anyway sounds like he was maybe a little jealous?? ❤
Aww thank you so much for another inspiring message Judy ❤️ the plan is to keep posting, as it's helpful for me as much as it is for you 😊
Thank you for your honesty 🙏 You’re not alone. I’ve struggled with anxiety and depression my whole life. I was very resistant to the idea of medication at first, but it’s been literally lifesaving to me these past few years. Everybody needs to find their own balance, their own path with that. Also intentional connections with my friends and my local community (even when I don’t initially feel like I have the energy) has made a world of difference.
That's all really solid advice - I hope you are feeling okay and content in yourself Patrick, and thank you for sharing some of your story with me. I'm seeing my doctor soon and will discuss things like medication too - glad to know you found it very useful
so sorry you had to go through this and I wish we didn't have this many thoughts to the point of burnout
Aww thank you for such a sweet message 💚 I'd love to be able to be back to loving life as much as I did before - that's the plan! Hope you're taking the time to take good care of yourself too xx
You are incredibly brave and honestly an example to us all. We all have gone through or are going through some version of the things that you have mentioned, but the interesting part is since almost no one talks about it we all feel alone going through it. We aren’t alone though, and it isn’t uncommon at all. Thank you for your integrity, bravery, and honesty.
On a side note, I am a 4th year medical student in the US and I have to say that the older generation of doctors often have quite a toxic mentality that was normalized in their generation. It takes time for the face of medicine to change but it is changing and you and I are part of that change. Even though it’s easier said than done, truly please disregard the ignorant and cruel remarks that were made to you and about you, that is a reflection of the person making the comments and not you. Keep going. Keep building. Keep proving them wrong. Let’s build a generation of doctors who are more empathetic and open minded, it is so needed and we have to make it happen - not so much for ourselves as for the future generations of young doctors.
I am sending you love and prayers. You are a warrior in this life, keep your chin up and be proud.
although I said my emotional range is blunted, this message made me shed a tear. What you said is profound and I thank you for it
I was in nursing school failed a few exams and instantly got anxiety depression and anxiety is real! 😣 i try not to be hard on myself, but your so honest they are so many people who are in medical school that are really suffering from depression and anxiety are so embarrassed to talk about it 😣
thank you for making this, made me realise i’ve been feeling exactly the same since starting f1 :/ wishing you the best of luck on your journey to recovery ❤
Aw, I'm so sorry to hear that, feeling this way is hard. I hope you realise you don't have to go through it on your own though, and that there are people who love you and people also there to support you ❤️ & thank you!
thanks for sharing, sorry to hear about your struggles at work and your mental health
You cute doctor have the ability to restore hearts
I just wanted to say that you are amazing I look up to you so much you’re so intelligent and kind and there’s just so much I’ve learned from you, I know it’s rough right know but I promise God is aware and he’s there willing to help you. I love you so much and I know you will get through this!!❤
Aw thank you for such an encouraging message Pau ❤️ I appreciate you taking time out of your day to write that. Fingers crossed this journey will have positive outcomes
Your such a beautiful soul. And it breaks my heart to hear your going through so much. I commend you for sharing these personal details and actively doing what is important to you, what matters to you, and what makes you heal.
Thank you for such an inspiring message Vaneza! I hope its helpful ❤️
This was such a vulnerable video and thank you for sharing everything with us. I genuinely hope and pray you get back to yourself very soon ❤ We missed having you here! Also I’m an F2 doctor and make videos on UA-cam and I’ve been through the same kinda bullying you have been. People talking about me and making hurtful comments. Really made me think when you said the next time you come online you really think about what you say so much and how it will look. Easier said than done to ignore these kinda people. Thanks for coming back stronger and inspiring 💕
Aw, thank you for your kind words. This kind of workplace bullying does have lasting impacts and as you said it's easier said than done to ignore. I have some more processing to do about the comments and I hope you've been able to process the ones you received in a healthy way xx
Do take care of yourselves, and most importantly your mental health, and keep the grind going. Loving your videos, keep it coming ❤😊👍🏻
Aw thank you, hoping to hit two birds with one stone 😊
Take care of you first. We all have times when it's hard to move forward. We have to own that sometimes we're not ok. And that's fine too.
Yes, it's so important to take care of ourselves first and foremost - good reminder 😊
i'm so sorry you have to go through this... Insha'Allah Allah will make it easy for you to grow and recover from your situation. Keep close with your family and make sure you keep doing the things you love.. Hope you get better soon... :)
Aw, inshallah 💚 that's the goal. Thank you :)
Hopefully at least one of your freinds realize what's up so they can treat accordingly because depression is something the person who is going through it will be the only one to fix it. Even though it's something that will always linger throughout our lives, we should not forget that the lord sees and has it written. If it is love that someone is sadden from, again it is written and we should not forget in all good time things will happen in the flash of light. But no one is alone in what they feel, and that is my word. Whenever the storm passes, we want to see the creativity and informative caring person be back on their feet and educate us because you one of the few UA-camrs we trust and want to see that smile warm the cold air around us❤.
I’ve been really depressed for 1 month. I hope you feel ok soon
So sorry to hear - I hope you're not going through it alone and that you've reached out to someone / trained people about it. I hope you feel better soon too ❤️
Love you Dr Tarvala, take care of yourself.
Thank you :) hope you're taking the time to do the same
@@Tarvala take care yourself first.
Sending you lots of hugs and love…. My psychologists would recommend to act opposite to what depression tells you to do and remember you’re human and thoughts aren’t facts ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you! ❤️ aw this is really helpful advice! It does get a little difficult to separate the negative thoughts from facts but I appreciate your message 🥰
Couldn't focus, I was too distracted by your bicep pump. How much you curl? 💪

Aw thank you so much for your sweet message at a time like this ❤️ that's good advice - I do need some more prayer in my life tbh 🙈

I pray Allah alleviates your difficulties, lightens the load off your chest, and that you can gain closer to Him in this struggle. Remember, Allah tests those that He loves, and there is no burden you’ve been given that you cannot handle, He is with the Patient. & it is this time, this struggle that will show your true character. & the way in which you come out of it ♥️♥️
Nowadays there are many simple healing spells that anyone could say to cure depression and anxiety. I could give these spells to anyone here if they want.
Thank you for your honesty. It seems that you are sad because your profession has killed a part of your personality that you once loved.
