Sometimes, it's hard being an adult. You have to figure out how to manage your mental state and still have to take care of other responsibilities like family and work. After going through a depression for a period of time I have so much more compassion and empathy for those that are struggling ❤❤❤

It is so hard sometimes to remember to put myself first. If I am not healthy, ALL OF THIS GOES AWAY. Thx Scott

Always grateful for the reminder, Dr. Scott. You're doing good work out here and it's appreciated more than you know. 💚

My adhd and autism can’t be put on the back burner. It works full time ruining my life

Mental health, physical health, late diagnosed autism, probably ADHD. And the government wants to know what qualifies me for disability. Managing health is my full time job. This week, though, I have 3 social outings! Almost unheard of but I’m determined to make all of them.

I finally found the time to fully focus on mine. Kidless and jobless. I have the time now.

I’ve put my mental health on the back burner because after almost 30 years of getting my hopes up that I’ll find a medication that works, have just failed. Also tried exercise and therapy without feeling much improvement at all. My good days are just “okay “ and my bad days, I suffer very much.

I know what you’re saying and appreciate it.

I wish I can afford to go back to therapy and medication…but my job is barely paying enough to put gas in my car. I’m looking everywhere for a new job but nobody in this stupid town is hiring and I can’t afford to leave. I tried applying to Medicare but apparently don’t qualify.

I'm a caregiver to my 96 year old mom and between my mental illness and taking care of her, I'm losing my mind. It has been recommended that I go into hospital or outpatient but I can't because of her. When I told my mom about ending it, she said I can't because who would take care of her. I don't even register as a human being. No other family, no friends, no job. My mom screams if I use the phone or leave for a short time and I'm told I'm self absorbed. I pray every night asking to die.

I really needed this reminder- Thank you! I’m dual-diagnosis and managing my depression and anxiety along with my substance abuse recovery program takes so much of my time. I’m going back to school next month and I really need to set myself up for success. It’s gonna take everything I’ve got.

A couple of powerful realizations that destroyed my depression traps were 1) I was excited as a kid to fully live a full life; what the hell random things did I consider significant enough to ruin that ?, and 2) I have only this one lucky miraculous life in all the eternity of the universe - do not squander any more of it.

I am very grateful to you Dr Scott, for making these videos. It is so encouraging to have a doctor who actually understands the width and breadth of Mental Illness. Here In New Zealand there is so little resources/help available. We have a 'brain drain', many Qualified Kiwi moving to Australia. New Zealand has the highest teenage suicide rate in the developed world (for over 3 decades now) and no actions in place to curb this horrifying statistic. As a long term Sufferer, you definitely feel like you are on your own with this Illness.❤

This is why we watch you. You give us permission to grieve what we feel like we can't do. We can breathe knowing we're not freaks, nor behind, nor nor fully living. You keep it real. Those of us who can't access health care come to hear you provide wisdom on how we can try to improve and actually feel like we have a life and aren't just waiting for it to all be over with. Thank you. You provide a public service. On your worst day, know that you are so much appreciated by many struggling with depression, autism, add/adhd, etc. You are wonderful and a true gift from God.

Hot take check whether not prioritizing mental health improvement is a comfort zone you subconsciously are afraid to step outside of

(For example I keep on fckin up my sleep, and having chaos in that part of my life keeps me stuck and that is frustrating but I also have that flipside of fear of failure which is fear of success, because I associate that with increase in pressure with higher expectations to live up to)

Wondering if this resonates with anyone, please share 🤗✌️

Yup. It takes discipline to manage mental health. It's just too easy to just let it be.

More time and effort on mental health now, can mean more space in time and effort later

I don’t have the money and time to do it. I just have to deal with it somehow.

Does that mean routine, sleep, therapy, meds (if they help, they don't help me), diet, socialising... anything I missed?
