The fact I've been doing this every day without realising.

[morhanny]

Since I have lost my mother, I spend time over and over again looking for someone's wise word to comfort me....

[Cheddar-the-Chaos-Editor]

I’m proud of myself I went out today for the first time in a long time

[mooodlemip]

I really value how gently you explain things like this because I think when people are talking about this kind of self sabotage cycle rather than showing they understand they just end up basically saying that depressed people are lazy. This is such an important point but so often is so poorly explained. Thank you

[dr.sohinimitra]

Shit. I have been here since the last 2 yrs.
This cycle of low mood - self sabotage - morning anxiety/low mood- cancelling plans - stay hidden from the world-stuck

Why did nobody tell me before, that it's addictive and will only make my mood worse and I ll stay in the rut

[kanan]

I wake up every morning and straight come to YouTube to watch videos rather than facing the reality. I think this is an indicator of slight depression. I need your book. 😭

Free yourself from people’s expectations.
Free yourself from false desires.
Free yourself from mainstream manipulation.
Free yourself from seeking acceptance.

Find happiness in whatever shape, mood or environment you are drawn to and feed from it.

[KnitWitNY]

There are so many of us suffering. Thank you for giving us some tactical skills to deal and wake up to another day.

After my mom died I didn’t leave the house for two months. It was a miracle if I even left my bed for more than a meal and the bathroom. I just stopped going into work, stopping texting people back, etc. after two months I slowly tried to get better. Because I ditched work they were only willing to give me 5 hours a week at the time, which was all I could handle. It’s still tempting sometimes when my tendencies arise to cancel everything, and sometimes I do, but I’m general I try to fight it and 9 times out of 10 that makes me feel a bit better. Depression is so hard because you have to try to push yourself when you have no desire or motivation to. It can be done though and there is hope. Things can get better

[Rainbow_Neos]

Some days when I feel horrible and at my lowest, I just can't get myself to move. I just lay there and try to sleep. I can't get myself to get food, water, or do anything. Most times, sleeping helps me. It resets that mood I was in which was caused by multiple factors.
I always tell myself "Tomorrow is another day". Sleeping the day off can be really helpful.

This is why I will be forever grateful to my mom for giving me the right push to go outside when I was struggling with anxiety due to a small burn out. This made me heal quicker.

[Jordan-mnty]

The ruminating in complete isolation for 6 years 18-24 has completely scrambled my mind I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. My mind just obsesses over and over and over about some traumatic events and I can’t think of anything else no matter how hard I squeeze my head or bang it on a wall so I just sit like a statue hours on end trying to completely blank my mind even after a 12 hour shift of manual labor. I have 6 figures in the bank but I don’t have the desire to buy or do anything other than struggle to clear my mind.

[robinthepunk]

The fact that this is so true. The other day, I got diagnosed with depression. I didn’t want to do anything except stay in my bed. My mom offered to take me out to get boba. I wasn’t as keen for it, but she arranged for my girlfriend to come with us. We got our boba and I was having a really good time. We then went on a walk and hung out at a park. She then had to go home, but our parents were really good friends and we ended up hanging out at her house until 11. Amazing day and I was so happy

[deltaloraine]

I fell into this loop all the time during the pandemic. It made me feel like I didn’t exist. Like I wasn’t impacting the world at all because I wasn’t going outside, and that no one knew or cared I was here. Even doing something as simple as going out for a walk or sitting on a park bench with sounds of nature made me feel way better. Like I was connected more to the world by not hiding away.

Thank you for telling and educating people about depression and social anxiety, I used to have bad panic attacks in high-school to the point where I would not even go to school because I had this irrational fear of being rejected, and throughout most of my life I barely talked to people because of that and it makes me very sad because I missed out on so many opportunities and lost so many relationships. Still today I lose people just because in my head I tell myself that they wouldn't ever want to talk to me andI justify it by thinking that I'm the problem. The problem isn't me, it's the anxiety and I hope a lot of people come to understand that those quiet people you meet in high-school are the ones struggling the most. So take care of them and make time for them. They go through a lot everyday.

I had Covid I took a week off work I was the happiest I'd been in years, I sat around all this pain in my back disappeared, I watched cheer on Netflix, I was so inspired by those kids their determination following their dreams, pushing through obstacles in their life, I'm back at work depressed and miserable as b4 seeing everyone at work with a much better life. Having reached goals in their life that I can't possibly reach like simple basic things like partner, friends etc. I hate feeling sorry for myself but when I'm around work colleagues I can't help it. I don't know how to be content, god plz that's all I want.

[amygerstle]

I have been doing a lot of ruminating with negative self talk since a close friend died. Thank you 💖 for your wonderful videos. They give me comfort.

[miasancto]

I always find I get out of that when I finally do my chores, with some help, and get on with life, and I go back to being stress free. But I get into that mood in the first place because I’m tired so “I’ll do that tomorrow” then I just keep pushing that back and what is only a small task becomes a big task, and now I need help to get it done so I can move on. I try not to push tasks back because it’s bad for my mental health.

This has been me everyday for the past 4 years. I am aware of it but it is addicting. And i have been stuck in this rut for too long. I have been wanting to make a change and its time. Its not worth it to miss out on life
