I just got out of a 15 year, yes....15 year depression. U know how I got out of it? Understanding that I had to actually get up out of bed and literally do something, anything. It’s an actual fight to get out of depression. It’s been working for the past 8 months and I’m actually becoming proud of myself for figuring that out. Cause depression SUQ’s!!!

Chances are, if you made it to this video and are looking at the comments, you are in the ashes stage. I feel like I am too, you’re not alone and I love you. Stay strong!

Life repeats itself mindlessly unless you become mindful, it will keep on repeating like a wheel

[matthewmonsees]

Nice to see something that isn't just repeating positive affirmations over and over. Toxic positivity is a real thing and means nothing when you are looking for practical solutions.

Lost my confidence
Low connection with family
No friends.
No daily habits
No school or job.

Here i am 19 and covering from traumatic past.

After my “ashes stage” all I could make myself do was go for a walk each morning and smile at each person I met. I was going forward and giving the only thing I had. I had to move in tiny increments because I was so overwhelmed, I told myself that healing couldn’t be rushed, and that took off the pressure to quickly be 100% again. If you are starting over, just work on developing a good strong foundation in your life. ❤️❤️❤️

Just for future notes
1. Prioritize your state change
2. Find the best thought imaginable (over and over)
3. Find a thing you can control and do it

Hey guys - you might be going through some really dark shit right now. Like beyond dark, where you aren't sure if things will ever get better. Well... I didn't think I'd say this, but I was there a lot this last year too, and made it through. These things helped me a lot, so I hope they help you.

[Riema]

That helps !!!
Sick of all the meditation journeling planning talk when I'm stuck in my bed and only going through phone like zombi 😣

I've been dealing with PTSD since 2003 and my ex-wife turned my kids against me... My kids were the reason I didn't kill myself; yet, they've been taken from me for the past 8 yrs... Idk how I've made it this far. I've pretty much turned into a zombie and have lost interest in everything. Just living day to day... Now I'm dealing with more storms, and I'm still just trying to hold on...

In the military, pills were pushed on me and ended up making me more suicidal. I haven't been on meds for years, but it's videos and messages like these that have really been helping me this past year.

Thanks brother

You know your in a bad state when trying to think of 3 gratitudes starts to make you cry.

[dris]

Wow great timing. in 2019, my girlfriend of 3 years cheated on me and dumped me over the phone on New Years, then the last member of my family died (my mom), then the job I loved and had for 15 years disappeared, and my last friend told me he was too busy to have me around in his life. I'm starting over with no family, no friends, no job.

my mother passed away in October this year, my dad passed away in 2010, having no living parents has shattered my soul. my boyfriend of 8 years just moved abroad for the next 2 years. I currently do not have a job. I am completely devastated currently and am in the ashes stage. Watching your video felt like someone understands, i really do feel like i have lost everything. But i just stated working out again after 3 months of no activities and bad eating. I am on the 5th day of my workout. I think i am going to stick to it and get back to my weight before my mom passed. I will take it one day at a time and try to do something small and achievable. Thank you so much for this video, i really think it saved my life because i am in such a dark place. Thank you and have a good day <3

[tashie]

Thank you for doing this video. ❤️ love to you!
2021….
-laid off 4x due to shutdown
-forced to sell home of 14 years
-cat of 21 years passed on
-sent my only child away to college and became empty nester
-sons father had a major relapse after 26 years sober
-that was just the big events, I didn’t even mention all the daily awful due to shutdown
I find myself completely alone and crying all the time and asking what do I do now. At least I have faith in God and pray all the time.

[janishaughton]

Wow, you are so on point. People that say snap out of it or just exercise and eat better… they must not have experienced extreme depression/anxiety. Thank you for this validating video!

Getting out of 10 years of severe depression. All by myself. My parents love to blame me instead of understanding why i messed up for ten years, why i dropped from being a topper to series of failure and all of what I did had it roots in my undiagnosed adhd. Ten years - out of which for six years, each day i thought of giving up on my life. The fact i am alive rn, the monster in my head not as big as it used to be - feels like a miracle.

Now, when i am in the last stage wanting to restart life again at 26, two times uni drop out, going to med school next year, be a surgeon - i see an empty canvas infront of me while many of my age have filled a part of it. But i also realise, i can fill this canvas too. Help others who have been like me. Dance in the rain, pick shells on a beach, have a cup of can do all of this, instead of thinking about kms. Life is changing for me, from black to grey and to the lighter shades of people around me summarise me with my failures. And i don't want to explain it to them.

Yes, i will be starting my graduation/mbbs at 27. I will do it from my dream med college. I will be the black sheep without a mask in a herd of white sheeps or the ones pretending to be, as they struggle. I don't fit in the neurotypical society and idc anymore.

[kriketprayme]

4:55 So much agree with this. It's easy to say but hard to do. When you are depressed, you just keep falling deeper and deeper in your seemingly never ending misery.

[chgofirefighter]

It’s almost impossible to be in such a dark hole and get out. Losing everything takes your soul away. I said “almost” for a reason. Your friends, loved ones, significant other they all walk away because at the end of the day nobody truly cares. Some do but only temporarily, finding a new purpose is like finding water in the desert...

[tiffanysar-lecluze]

I like the fact that you mention first starting to have good thoughts. I personally think that when you're in a bad place blaming yourself or forcing yourself to do things you're not ready to do is going to hurt you more than help. I think we have to start building first a good mindset and relationship with ourselves to be strong enough to face new challenges

[EMorner]

Another good advice when you are feeling like that is focus on one thing only. So often we reach that state and we feel overwhelmed. To combat that put one thing right in front of you and let go of the others. For instance if you are depressed, jobless, overweight, and a loner, you could focus on losing weight. Make that a goal, don't nesscessarily think long term because then you in all likelihood will feel overwhelmed again. Instead say "today I'll go to the gym" or "today I'll do intermittent fasting". If you focus on that one thing almost by magic the rest seem to fall in line. You'll meet people at the gym, you'll begin to feel good and more interested in nutrition, you'll find people to geek out with. The new focus and energy might lead to a new career path etc.

Focus on one thing!
