… such as exercise, healthy diet, having an outlet (painting, writing, making videos whatever), following a routine / sleep pattern and most importantly of all savouring and taking pride in the “small victories”. I think I’ve mentioned it before but I liken it to “keeping a fire burning in the rain” and any “kindling” is good so keep it going, do what you can and take pride the things you can do. [3/5]
Oh Wot, I just want to give you a big old hug. You are lucky to have a friend like Dan! my best friend has Borderline Personality Disorder, I have been by her side through everything (she was sectioned before being properly diagnosed) and will continue to be through the highs and the very lows. I suspect so will Dan. Good luck if you choose to go to a doctor, and I hope if you do get given anti depressants they help.
You moved me to tears. I also suffer from depression and dyslexia and you sumed up my feelings perfectly. Keep strong! You're my inspiration. Coire Halfpenny
Anything you do to help yourself, no matter how insignificant it may seem, isn’t insignificant at all if it helps you and for the feeling you get from knowing you have actively taken a step towards helping yourself. For example as I write this I do so with the knowledge that I may, in some small way, help a complete stranger whom I have never met and I take some pride in that :) [4/5]
Hi Wot, I wanted to thank you for making this video. I know it can't be easy, but I know a lot of people will watch this and realise they aren't alone. When I was going through depression the thing that helped me the most was knowing there were people out there who understood. Also, have you seen Mood Gym? I went through the whole lot in about two days, and it wasn't until the very end that I realised how much it applied to me and how much it helped Search moodgym Australian national university
I had similar feelings earlier this year but there are SO many options of getting in, don't be put off by grades theres all sorts of foundation years, a level support and apprenticeship routes to getting into university
I hesitate to offer advice because as you pointed out depression affects different people in different ways so things that may work for me may not necessarily work for you. I would also never attempt to “compare” my experiences to your own as I think that is short sighted, only you truly know what you go through and how you feel. That said however there are general things that seem to help me that may help you too… [2/5]
"stupid" things send me into depressions too. I couldn't play doom on my computer at my parents place (where i'm staying) so I went into a huge depression because I missed home. (a place i haven't lived yet just visited but it is going to be mine soon) bc my bf's computer has doom. 2 days isn't bad for some but it was bad for me. and all over not being able to play a game. I'm new here but I hope you start feeling better soon and I hope to be part of the support team you seem to have here.
A wise woman once told me "It's ok to be sad". From this simple statement I found that merely by thinking "It's ok" in any given situation, I could infact feel ok, in any given situation, find peace, a smile, respite from my brain. I found the greatest source of negative influence was in fact me, in all the things I told myself were negative, instead of telling myself they were ok, often trying to adhere to someone elses standards instead of going by what makes me smile and sharing that instead.
Depression truly sucks. I couldn't go to school yesterday. Didn't want to play tennis, couldn't even play video games. All I could do was sleep and hope it would be over soon.
Good job on making a video during a difficult bout. Dont worry about people "un-subbing" or "wasting their time" as this video (and others) is about helping yourself. You are not in a forced position to entertain (this isn’t a N3 channel) so simply do what you think is best for yourself, that isn’t a selfish motive by any means. The people who subscribe, who watch the videos and who comment all do so to connect with you and perhaps help you in their own way. [1/5]
Whilst watching this video I never thought once I was wasting my time. I am a person who now lives behind a Kevlar plated concrete mask and is getting too good at wearing it full time, forgetting who I wanted to be. I am pleased to see so many people getting up out of the crowd and standing with you as support, for me you are brave to say all this in-front of strangers. Keep those amazing ties coming and stay strong on your journey.
Hi Wot. Well done for making this video. You were brutally honest with what's going on. Please listen to Dan. I was in the same place as you once, and I took the advice of a close friend and went to see a doctor. I didn't want to be on drugs, because I didn't want to have to rely on daily medication to make me feel happy and normal. So I just went and talked to someone. A lovely psychologist. After 12 months of that I did go on some medication as I had severe anxiety problems. It has been ju
I can relate to you. I am in quite a similar way to you. My problems have reached a point where I get annoyed by most things, yet I still refuse to get it sorted out. This comment wasn't meant to be some amazing statement, this is a comment to let you know that there is at least one person out there that is in the same boat as you (or at least a similar one). I know it helps me to think that I'm not alone.
I am not sure exactly how proper depression feels, I am quite autistic therefore I can become depressed thinking about humanity being a ************** and so on. But, I have never been truly or properly or majorly depressed.
another thing: anytime you feel like beating yourself up over something, try to turn it into a joke. learn to laugh at yourself. imperfection is perfectly fine. it's beautiful. enjoy it.
i can't tell you how to get better. that is your journey. what i can tell you is that i'm watching this at 1080p on a 60" screen in los angeles and i'm glad to be watching it. no one will judge you as hard as you're judging yourself. you are creating something of value and your life is meaningful.
It’s the little things like that what adds up. I hope you are feeling a little better when reading this and I hope some of what I say helps, even if a little. I apologise for the spam and the wall of text, TY’s 500 character limit is annoying at times… or maybe it’s me being annoying :) Take care. [5/5]
I hope you will feel a lot better, it is horrible seeing you like this, is Dan able to help? Because if he can't, try to find something that will help you.
I'm sorry that you've been having a hard time lately Wot. We all really hate seeing you like this. All of the Fanarians hope you feel better very soon :)
Your videos are never a waste of time Wot, but this comment might be. I don't really have anything to add other than if you figure out a way to combat depression, please share it with the world, cuz I'd love to know. I have my ups and downs as well, and half the time I get down just thinking about how I have ups and downs and how vicious and seemingly pointless a cycle life is. I really shouldn't give this advice since I can't even take it myself, but don't let the small things get you down man.
As others have said we're not going to unsubscribe if you make videos that aren't all happy and cheery. The videos you make are you and that's why we're subscribed to you, for you. I'm sure a more of your subscribers than you think can relate to your videos on depression, I know I can. I know what it's like to have been at that lowest point but please just try and keep a little hope that things will eventually at least get a little better. You're able to make a video, that's a big positive :)
As a person who's gotten to a super low point in her life and whose actually considered suicide. I have always looked at the world in a negative way. I have to say, your doing far better than me. Your actions and words, talking about how to get better and not rely on depression drugs they touch me and i feel theres more out there for me. (I wish i could be more moving in my words....) Please, keep above the water, believe in yourself and never give up as my mama used to say. *Hugs*
I know it's hard, jesus i know Having a schedule, working out, and being around people helps me. I know you've tried those, but i just don't know how to help you. I want to help you feel better
Oh Wot, I'm sorry you're feeling this low again. I usually say something earlier, but I've been low too. Recently, you've done really well and you can again. Things go down sometimes and that really sucks and is discouraging. Crying is okay, it releases stress hormones. Drugs are okay, they just work with the chemical nonsense. You'll be back up soon you're very strong and you can do it. -waves flag- Also, getting up and setting up the equipment, and editing is a step. You're up and that's good.
Wot, you nearly have 2000 subscribers now. These are all people who want to support you and listen to whatever you have to say, and i'm proud to be one of them. i can't begin to imagine what you are going through right now but i have had issues in the past, and what i did was embrace who i am and what has happened to me and rather than shielding myself from them used them as a shield to protect myself. I hope this helps and think i speak for everyone else when i say we are right behind you.
Wot you should take a day off. don't make any excuses for it don't say it's because of this or that don't say it's because your depressed or because your procrastinating. just take day off to refresh and renew yourself for the simple reason of because you need/want to and not for any other reason. .
We aren't here to be entertained(Although you do that rather often). We are here because we care about you and want to see you beat this. You are a wonderful human being, and we are all here for you.
We are here to watch you and you need to remember that we aren't going to complain or Unsubscribe if you one day do one bad video You need to try and be confident and even if you release a video and people don't like it all that happens is there is one bad video Thank you for making this video and I hope you will find a way to grow in confidence!
I want to share with you my experiences with depression and the various ways I've tried to cope with it. I don't know whether I'll make a video for you, or whether I'll send you an email. I'm going to aim for a video, then I'll probably chicken out and send an email. ~@jawakitten
Wot, I don't mean to be disrespectful or anything, you really help people, but you should start making funny, lighter videos that would be fun to make and edit and such. Dislike this comment is you want, but that is my opinion.

Feeling depressed myself aswell, from coming to the realization that I won't be able to get into university.
Thanks. I'm just focusing on going into a two year thing with a college and then transfering into university.

"Doers block" - my life story.
Just think...maybe there's a fan fiction of you and Dan somewhere out there.
I'll see you at MCM hopefully. :)
Alast, Yorik. I knew him, Horacio. I knew him.
We like you very much, Wot.

I'm sorry that you've been having a hard time lately Wot. We all really hate seeing you like this. All of the Fanarians hope you feel better very soon :)
I don't really know what to make of this vlog.
But if it helps Wot to overcome then it's fine.

Wot, I don't mean to be disrespectful or anything, you really help people, but you should start making funny, lighter videos that would be fun to make and edit and such. Dislike this comment is you want, but that is my opinion.
