I owe so much to this man. He literally pulled me out of a suicidal severe chronic depression with his lectures and self-authoring programme - which became by far the most important thing I've done in my life. One of the biggest things on my bucket that I hope to achieve in my life, is to shake his hand, look him in the eye and say, "Thank you from the bottom of my heart."

Would love to see a return to more psychology / self help focused content like this.

For those that can’t seem to keep their minds out of the darkness.. you’ve endured and survived so much pain and suffering. We can’t give up. Our younger siblings, cousins, and strangers need us because we are the reminder that people like us endure. We make it through. We eventually see the light and yeah we might end up in the gutter again but we always make it across. We are the frontline to this “war” with overthinking, we stand on that front line and we take the most damage cuz we are the strongest. God sent his strongest soldiers. We might be down and out and hidden in the dark at times but we eventually rise up. We always do. Keep going. I know how much it hurts but you must keep going.

This is something my instincts were telling me but media was contradicting. The happiest people are those that live in tight communities where people care deeply about each other.

I so miss the QandAs that you used to do every month. Now it's all professionally done interviews, and they are great, but this is my absolute favourite format. More please!

The part where he says you need to write down your history and come to an understanding. This is what got me out of depression when I was 18. 26 these feelings are back, and I know in my gut that what he’s saying is actually very true. For me, anxiety is caused by slowly starting to have thoughts that counter what you believe in. So slowly, my sense of self gets beaten down and I’m left feeling like a shell. Need to reorientate back to my true self, and come to an understanding that even if I have those thoughts, doesn’t mean it’s true and what I want to believe in. Being Delulu is being happy.

So thankful for this video. Reminds me of his 2016-17 videos of him speaking directly to online questions. Thanks JP!

Like you said, don't be fearless. Be courageous.
Alcohol makes you fearless because it numbs your amygdala and pre-frontal cortex.
Only willingly walking toward and facing danger makes you courageous.
Saying "I'm afraid and fearful but I'm still going to face this monster (tax documents)" is true, pure, and unadulterated courage.
We're either a warrior in a garden or a gardener in a war.

Something else that wasn't mentioned is routine exercise. A lot of symptoms that are related to anxiety and depression is attributed to living a sedentary lifestyle. Try to make a habit of doing regular cardio, even just a brisk jog will make a world of difference to your mental state.

Such good advice. I needed to hear this today. So..
1) Be of service to others. This pulls you away from constantly thinking about yourself and your worries/fears
2) Write down your fears then make a move towards dealing with them. This starts to retrain your mind into seeing you as someone who deals with things rather than avoiding them
3) Don't assume your anxiety is psychological. It may be physiological. Try the lion diet and see what happens (my advice 😁)

1. Self Authoring, figure out meaning of things happened in past.
2. Conscientious, be orderly and industrious.
3. Be at service of other, make surrounding people's life a little better.
4. Detail list of things that are being avoided to do, and make a plan to solve the issue.
5. Diagonose underlying health disease like autoimmune disorder.

Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings. This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment.

I am glad this popped up on my feed today. I have been dealing with a very stressful situation that has been impossible to resolve and my stomach has been flopping around and my heart is racing. I forced myself to eat this morning. God bless you.

Thank you Dr. Peterson. Yes terrible anxiety at the moment, but video’s from you, Dr.Gabor and Ralph Smart from Infinite Waters has been helping me get back on track, and also a wonderful supportive GP too, as I said to him the other day, I need to ensure that before I diagnose myself with anything, I must consider if I am surrounded with arseholes. Namaste 🙏

[TheGuinElla]

Glad this video came up on my home page. It's true that there is misery in looking too much on your narrow self. Thank you for your words and free advices, Dr. Peterson.

[toeknee]

Woke up and saw this video, and it was exactly what I had been needing to hear without even knowing it. Thank you.

No longer afraid of anything. The worst has already happened, and a 100x worse.
I'm 28, no job, no career, no savings, no family, no friends, no relationships, lost the only person I care about (my mother) to terminal cancer.

[colleencarling]

Thank you for taking the time to give detailed answers like this and taking people’s questions seriously. It really helps. ❤
