My depression comes from loneliness. I’ve had friends, family, etc, but never felt truly connected. I tried to drown this out with distractions but they never really worked. You can sweep the half eaten sandwich under the rug but ignoring it will only cause it to mold and fester and stink up the entire room. But acknowledging the fact I’m slowly working my way out. There’s a light at the end of the tunnel and this gives me hope that depression will never take away.

[Wolfinte]

So hyped for the whole guide! Dr.K’s work is severely underrated - I wish everyone knew about Healthy Gamer.

[Infirmi]

Cant get over what a good thing Dr K is doing for the gaming community. To have such a smart individual invested so much into helping others is phenomenal.

I feel like the wondrous and imaginative parts of myself have been lost. Like I'm stuck in black and white. The worst part of it being that I could get myself out of it. But the things that I need to do induce panic attacks. Taking a quick, subconscious look to the mountains that await ahead of me sends me into a state of anxiety filled hopelessness. The rememberance and subsequent forgetting of the thoughts and things that give me hope sends my mental health spiralling down even further.

I wake up, I make a promise to myself that I'll start the journey to self betterment, then I go back to bed and sleep until I can't anymore, and then do anything I can to escape the feeling of existence.

Life for me is an eternal recurrence of broken promises.

I know deep down that I might stay like this for the rest of my life, as many often do. I might entertain the thought of suicide every once and awhile. The thought of overcoming myself so that one day I could become the father I had always wanted is much more compelling, until I forget about it, and then I'm left with the other thought.

It all comes from hopelessness.

My depression is kind of unique, I don't think even Dr K has any answers to my thoughts and situation, I've been quite bored with life, to the point where nothing really feels exciting to me anymore, got lack of motivation because I feel like nothing is worth doing, and I continuously get hurt by people I love which made love also pretty hard for me to enjoy, every day I wake up being sad that I didn't die in my sleep.

The track is basically PoE's skill tree but one that is actually worth the time to complete.

[Somatic_Strength]

I’m so happy I discovered your channel. Life changing 🙏

[Antiliani]

My dharma is to treat others the way Dr. K treats people. A true inspiration. Thank you, I'm so grateful to be part of this journey.

Next semester starts two days before release for me and I'm doing 17 credit hours. I hope I can manage to squeeze this in with my normal routine, but even if I'm able too it will likely have to be in increments and I'm afraid that might detract from the experience. I bounce back and forth between moderate anxiety and extreme depression throughout the year and I know if fall/winter depression starts to set in before I finish this, then any hope of this course helping to solve my issues goes out the door. I'll end up losing all motivation to do anything, including this. Winters get cold here, and I love the outdoors, so once that cold starts to detract from the experience of being outdoors, and i stay huddled up inside all season, I lose all sense of self, and with my comfort zone/coping mechanism stripped away, I just fall into an emotionless despair and am unable to escape on my own until the fresh spring air is finally carried back in the following year to pull me out of it. I have High hopes for the course! Even with school rapidly approaching, having Dr. K's guide to look forward to is making the impending dread much more bearable.

The difference between Major Depression and Congruent (situational, mindset) depression is quite huge, one is by far, alot worse, but the other is not fun either. As said, it's like having a chronic debuff, a leak, a black hole that keeps dragging you back and sucking joy out of your life.

[MatchaCutie]

my depression stems from many factors, loneliness, emotional neglect, mental abuse, bullying, sexual harrassment, and more i probably cant list. im always feeling regret every day, and everyday has just been been the same to me. i dont know if i have clinical depression, i wish to get checked up soon, but my parents will say that its a sham.

[GameZero]

When I think about depression I feel lonely af. But when I think about being happy. I enjoy my life.

[KommissarKong]

excited for the whole course. Gonna unleash my beast mode hopefully :^)

[darkphoenix]

Dude, I was listening to this and thinking about my own life and my feelings, and right as the word dissatisfied popped into my head, Dr K said "dissatisfaction". Wild.

[cojocoolio]

So excited for the whole program but particularly the Depression and Meditation modules

[bradster]

I love everything you are doing. You have a knack of speaking to people on a practical level that everyone can relate to. All the other videos online either don't connect with you or are too scientific. Being relatable is a very good skill.

[foggyvhs]

My counselor helped me with cognitive distortions and I haven't felt the big sad in a while.. almost feels like a month

[hansonel]

So excited for the release of the guide. It is going to help so many people who are struggling

[mausunk]

I've actually been feeling amazing these past few years, I'm still so interested in Dr. K and his approach that I'm excited for the Guide :)

[yeetofrito]

my depression is being caught in a cycle of having to work to live. I have absolutely no passion for any job or career and working jobs I don't enjoy isn't a life worth living. 5/7 days a week and sleeping on weekends to get energy for the work week yay!
