    After watching the whole video, these are the things you really have to consider Ben:
    1. Stop putting so much pressure on yourself. -Step back and reevaluate.
    2. Stop taking things personally. -Your power lies in your response.
    3. Start meditating. -This will cultivate your inner peace and will strengthen your focus.
    4. Start embracing your authentic self…the real you… - By doing so, will lift so much weight off the burden you’re carrying.
    5. Start recalibrating your thoughts and perspectives. -How you see the world sometimes stems down from the generational view of seeing things that were passed down from the people who came before you in a society that still envelops these ideologies.
    6. Be (your own definition of) happy.
    I hope you’re well.

    As a psychology student, I really do understand where and what you're coming from. I appreciate the effort that you still have the courage to do this kinda video, even though you're currently dealing with your anxiety and mental breakdowns, just to inspire others and raise awareness about how you'll be able to cope with the negative/chaotic situations that you've been through. MAHIGPIT NA YAKAP KUYA BEN!

    Being too self-aware is both a blessing and a curse, I’ve learned this through therapy as well because it made me realize that (like you) we, over thinkers tend to try and find solutions for things that we feel like we are at fault or responsible for - even when it comes to our fears and insecurities, that’s why we end up overwhelmed and burdened. So glad you found therapy. It is such an immense help for people like us who tries to take on almost everything for people around us but rarely or don’t even ask for help. Slowly, you’ll get better in asking for support in ways you are comfortable in. Shedding some relationships that are not serving you is also part of your healing, it can be sad at first but you’ll later on realize that it is for a reason. Good luck on your journey and may you find joy again in the things that you love. Thanks for being brave and sharing your story. ❤

    In a Psychology student perspective, I was amazed by the way you explained your situation and your feelings/emotion to the audience even in a minute I was hook up how it was so detailed and comprehensive na you shared a complex scenario into a simplier and mas relatable sa viewers. This really show that you know your current situation very well maybe because you've been through it for a long time and that you have the ability to create and apply yung naisip mong alternatives to your difficulties.
    This video is an eye opener sa mga audience; not just for them to learn but more on to take action and be mindful sa sinasabi/ginagawa nila sa sarili at sa ibang tao.

And to be honest this video really gives me hope and made me realize that I’m really not 🌊 in this journey and that i could be better one day and the world that im in right now would be a happy place again. Thanks Ben for this!! Fighting!

    Out of your 226 Vlogs, this one really felt like a hug. It's not everyday you learn about people's vulnerabilities (especially people whose careers are closely inclined with social media) -- and I think this is very brave of you to do, Ben. Personally, I've also come to the ends of alc*h*lism, forgetting my boundaries, pushing people away with my bad behavior, bursting in anger over the smallest things, and neglecting my needs -- even when my body is already begging me to rest and calm down. I started watching your vlogs in 2018, and from time to time, when I "spiral," I binge watch your content (still)... it does seem like you're good at shedding light in other people's lives (I think that's the hook that got me to watch your content over and over) -- but it also seems like you need to share that light with yourself.
    We don't know each other personally, but I'll include you in my prayers. I sincerely hope you discover the things that make you smile at ease, enough to lit up everything that has dimmed inside you. Also, here's an excerpt from one of the books that has helped me when I felt like my days were my last, the book is entitled Dear Self by Ruby Dhal, and the line goes: "happiness doesn't always come with the fear that it will leave. Sometimes it comes with the promise that it will stay. All you need to do is welcome it with open arms and a heart spread wide enough to let it stay, wide enough to let in people and adventures in new countries where the wind flows in a different direction, and the mountains peak higher than the clouds, so you start to grasp that the sky isn't the limit, because the sun and the stars are."

    Thanks for this vid. ❤️ I also feel the same way cause I am in my 30s na and I feel lost. People think of me as a strong person cause lagi ako nakatawa and I am a psych grad so I need to look as if I feel good all the time but deep inside I am not. It's true that social media made is think that you always need validation from others to feel good but the reality is it's just yourself overthinking. In the end of the day mas Kilala mo self mo and alam mo mas magpapasaya sayo. I felt better after watching this and I am proud of you for being brave of sharing your story. ❤️

    I’m going through a shutdown right now too. In fact I’m lying in bed and have been for 2 months. Gone 4 years without help and it just all imploded. Honestly, hearing I am not alone helps. I think people understanding what you’re going through, though it might not cure whatever it is, does lessen the guilt of not participating and socialising, even though the urge to escape is our body telling us to rest and reset.

  • @AllanJayQuesada
    @AllanJayQuesada Рік тому +2

    Thank you for sharing this. I feel like someone has spoken for me. Like validating what i am going through. It is true that not everyone believes or has a knowledge about depression and anxiety, but at least through social media and vlogs like this, awareness is spread, and people atleast would just choose to be kinder and more understanding, if they could not directly help. Hindi natin kailangan ng excuse para maging mabait ang kapwa natin sa atin, but i think it is a general sense in humanity to be compassionate. 🙏🏻

It's a reminder that I'm not alone and also a reminder that it's okay not to explain yourself always. I think I need to always remind myself that I don't have to be afraid or feel bad to say no without explaining myself. Anyway, I'm so grateful that I watched this vlog and your voice and the way you talk is so calming. You're awesome, Ben. I know you'll get better.

It just becomes smaller. Be diligent on the meds, it requires a lot of work kahit hndi mo nman gustong gunawa ng kahit ano kasi walang motivation. I hope you can wake up one day and hindi kna biglang umiiyak ng hndi mapigilan. 💕

    Thank you for sharing, I just knew now that what I've been experiencing for many years that I thought were normal for introverted people to feel were actually symptoms of panic attack. Thank you for this video, it made me understand myself better. I still hear those voices in your head and your mind is somewhat always noisy. I agree that everything should start with the right perspective, I have been coping up using what I believe is a positive mindset regardless of what other people say because at the end of the day it all boils down to how you feel about yourself. No matter how many outside help I got it never did get better for me at some point I thought that it would be better if I'd just die. I felt useless and just a burden to my parents and family. I was at my lowest at that time and I happen to come a cross videos of self-help and from there on, I started my self-love/self-help journey by understanding myself better and doing what makes me happy. I can say that I have improve a lot and still am and I can't wait for other things that i can improve and learn about myself. Keep fighting the good fight, it may not feel good right now but it will all be worth it. Just trust yourself that you're getting better and better each day. 👊🏻👊🏻

    I feel you. I am in a similar situation. I categorize myself as one with High Functioning Depression. Been to some Psych Docs but since one of my issues is trust, I don’t trust them and hasn’t been medicating. I do the spiral thing and it works all the time. Oftentimes, I took a leave from work, sometimes 2 days to 1 week, as often as monthly, just to compose myself again, by sleeping, eating and doing nothing. Like you, I don’t wanna harm myself, so when the going gets tough, I just take some time off, and go back to work after, like nothing happened. Its been more than 30 years for me. So pat your shoulder for recognizing and accepting who you are. You will surely continue being a productive person until you gets old. Fighting! 💪

    i could definitely relate. there was a point that my fave past time riding bike doesn't make me happy anymore. but it really helps to talk to somebody even stranger or friend. there are times that feel okay and not kaya kumakalma na lang ako minsan whenever I felt sad or tinotopak ako without me realizing why I am sad\depressed. true enough na we all need to help ourselves kasi yung ibang tao they only give ideas advice in the end self pa rin ang maginitiate what things that will be better for us. life is short to be parking on sad feeling. good job Ben. keep sharing and inspiring people. God bless

    Kudos for being brave and being comfortable enough to share this personal chapter to your huge platform.
    Personally, I felt heard through this video especially on the light on being an adult who built majority of one’s life by making versions of himself that was tailored to how people would benefit from us and also to overcompensate so as to feel “validated”.
    Immensely grateful for my mum for initiating to eventually see a behavioural medical specialist and from there break down almost three decades of the unreal me. Started on a regular medication that is very helpful in regulating my mood and sleep. Perhaps I will highlight that acknowledging to oneself that you have a health problem and you need help, is the single most essential step to healing and recovering. To anyone having a difficult time, you aren’t alone and you will get through this. Hopefully a Filipino version of #PostYourPill, mental health wise will be an eye opener for the general Philippine public. ❤❤❤

    Watching you is like looking at a mirror and there is so many "Like me" moments but I am in a better place because of DGAF. I stop carrying and just do what I like and let things fall in in own place. I have learned to simply be grateful for the winning moments and deal with the consequences of my bad choices. It became easier to just not care too much and it's ok not to have control of everything. I Just need to do things because I like them and it makes me happy rather than to constantly listed to others perception of me. I hope you find a way to keep yourself your number one priority only following what you love doing and having the courage to face challenges not to win but to overcome them. You're in your 30s, I am in my 50s but life is too short and I focus on the quality of life I have lived rather than listening to others saying how I should live my life. I hope you feel better.

Taking zinc, vitamin b complex, adding moringa or malunggay, green leafy veggies, and fruits like banana, apple, etc to one's meals help. Reading inspirational books on healing and spirituality instead of watching the news and gossip is calming too. All the best Ben. Thank you for sharing your story.

I’ve been diagnosed with MDD for 7yrs now, good job on what you’re doing to keep yourself healthy and mentally stable. 👏 Your journey towards recovery may take more time than you’ll ever expect but never lose hope. Pag MDD kasi extremes talaga. One week you’re so positive, energetic and happy. Following weeks you’re stuck in a blackhole. Just never lose hope and will power to continuously help yourself.

    I finished the entire video and I can relate to some of the manifestations that you experienced. I have not seen a doctor yet but I would love to. My excuses are I don't have time, I don't have the financial capability since I'm supporting someone with medical needs and lastly I'm scared I might slipped... However, after watching this video you made me realize that I really need intervention to better support people that I need to support and to heal myself. Thank you again for this.

    Ang interesting nung concept ng upward spiral. I’ve only heard of downward spiral, which is something na naranasan ko sa maraming pagkakataon. Recently lang din ako nagdecide magpatherapy.
    Thank you for sharing your learnings and realizations sa therapy. 🙌

    Thank you for sharing this. I am somewhat experiencing this, and I do not understand why. With your video, I somehow had the idea of how to help myself. Been following you on FB because your videos, posts, and stories never fail to make me happy, or at least smile. Thank you so much.

    I feel you, Mr. Cua. Be well and take care. You are more than you think you are. Don't ever think of taking your own life because of the stresses of life. Depression makes us hate ourselves and wallow in melancholy that brews into the want for self-destruction or self-termination. Once you already know the ropes on how to take control of those shadows, you have the power to defeat those negative thoughts and emotions you feel about yourself, and continue to enjoy and appreciate life. It's what we have that matters and not those things we don't have. I wish you will be fine all the time. :)

    I was diagnosed with Anxiety/Depression/Panic attack. I was on medicine for 9 months it was really really hard. And now so far I'm no longer taking meds. It wasn't an easy journey. Thank God I realised the reason why God allow this things to happen. It's for our own good. Minsan Kasi or madalas nkakalimutan na natin Siya.

    I miiiiisssss you so much Ben. ❣️ A friend of mine once told me that, "when searching for love, whether it's a hobby, a thing or a person make sure you that find yourself there first." Sometimes we tend to lose ourself in the process of maintaining the image that we set, to the point that our hobbies, our true identity, or basically everything that's natural in us are becoming our burdens. Rest if you must, but I'm glad that you're doing better than before. More power! ❤️❤️❤️

    Wow, this one's a good vlog. Hope you'll feel better and perfect soon!
    I remember, September last year, I was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism. It's a hormonal imbalance in your thyroid. Some of its symptoms are low potassium levels, excessive sweating, insomnia, and panic attacks. I was there before. I'm afraid to sleep. I'm afraid to deal with the voices in my head. Everytime I go to bed, I prayed na sana makatulog ako ng maayos. It was hard. Every night, the scenario has been the same. I'd sleep and then wakes up suddenly with my heartbeat racing, smothered in sweat and hand tremors. I was scared. But these sensations gradually disappear as soon as I started medication. But recovery is not that easy. It took 5-6 months of medication just to balance my thyroid level. This phase in my life thought me lessons. I need to love and take care of myself. I've been too hardworking since the pandemic started, late night works until 4AM in the morning. Increased stress levels, insecurities, low self esteem, and overthinking. I'd been too hard to myself until I realized, the most important thing in life is yourself. Everything starts within yourself. If your mind and body are not well-conditioned, you can't start what you've wanted to finish.

    Your content literally describes what I'm feeling right now. I'm also about to give up, but I need to keep going. I pray to God everyday, praying that I will be able to overcome these trials in my life. It is really hard especially when there's nobody who really understand you and what you feel. I feel I'm alone even up to now. There's a lot of pressure and stress on me, and most of the time I feel I can't handle this anymore. Pressure in family, at work, pressure everywhere. So please, pray for me so I will be able to overcome all of these things happening around me and within myself. Most of the time, I feel anxious on what's going to happen next. I feel that everything that I do is totally useless. So please pray for me guys. 😔😔😔

    You are so brave to share this, Ben! And thank you kasi I was in the same situation din though different work and environment. Hindi lang ako medically diagnosed but I know, I am going through the same. That Upward-Downward Spiral really helps. ❤️ I pray you will be better and better everyday! Supporting you all the way! 🥰

    this is what i like about your vlogs and is also the reason why I continue supporting you. You're the reason why I try to be productive each day for the past 5-6 years now ( i think). each time I feel like the week has been way to rough for me I treat myself just to at least have something good going, you're positivity amazes me to the point where my mind became open to things. I understood life much more making your channel as the base. It felt relatable as I continue to watch your vlogs. I hope we get through these obstacles and improve much better than before. LABAN BENPIRES!
