your eyes are getting better, I think the eyes show whether some one is suffering mentally most of the time, the eyes are seriously connected to the brain.

Hey Scott. Listening to your voice on daily basis to uplift my mood. Thanks for that.

[lindavalentin]

Thank you Scott! Not only are you informative but you are also humorous. Appreciate you💯

Hey Scott today I'm actually taking a risk today for once. I'm going to challenge my anxiety today by going to the movies theater by myself. Which is really scaring but I really want to enjoy myself today and I have to push myself to do this. -love GBS

see here's the thing and i know some people can relate to this, ive been there where i got help. Had a doctor and a therapist and saw them as often as possible and they never helped. They did help for a short time but then the meds wore off or my therapist didnt have anymore to say to me that would make me feel better (maybe she just wasnt a good therapist idk) but it just never worked. But then i started dabbling into alternative healing and not relying on others to make me feel better and thats when i had more confidence in being able to deal with depression. (i have bipolar disorder II btw) I use light therapy, i dont take meds, i meditate, candles relax me and literally take away all my anxiety, they literally work wonders. I listen to ASMR, i eat healthy and thats just a few lifestyle changes i made. Yea i still struggle but im a lot better than i was when i was relying on pills. This is just for people who dont experience any relief or progress from outside help.

‘12 rules for life’ is a good book for motivation. Jordan Peterson is everyone’s second dad.

Excellent video Scott! I think one of the major reasons why people are afraid to try new avenues to healing is the fear of it not working, but the more you "fail", the closer you are to finding the thing that will work for you.

I was afraid you were going to say 'just go and travel the world, meet new people, go sky diving, go backpacking, get a job' etc. But the risk taking you are talking about does make sense. Going to a therapist, opening up about what is going inside our brains, especially to a therapist (who, let's face it, has seen it all and is trained to handle all kinds of patients) - yes, that is a risk we deep sufferers must take, for ourselves, first step to self love.

12 years ago my CBT therapist rescued me from the dark pit which I had fallen into. I was incapacitated and almost catatonic. It wasn't always easy facing some of the issues but it stopped them having any hold on me. I am now equipped with skills that support me every day of my life. I can once again walk in the sunshine. Take that step, speak to someone.

“It's when you open yourself up that you can finally discover what's inside.“ DAMN Scott that's some deep shit, love that quote :)

[davidpena]

I have to honestly say your much better than my therapist social worker. Everything you say I can relate to and is helping me lot more. Thanks Scott!

[David_Farkas]

I take risks, I do everything to beat this :) I heard a story about a guy who exercised, ate healthily, meditate, etc and still felt depressed as hell. He tried antidepressants and they did not help either. Finally, the 8th antidepressant helped him and he got his life back. He took a huge risk trying these pills but it's worth it. Chemical imbalance? Dude, I really don't know now. Ordered the book Lost Connections, it is on its way.

Thanks for the video Scott!

[brandy]

I love your videos! It’s so helpful to get advice, I was recently diagnosed with general anxiety, PTSD and MDD. I stopped all my medication 3 weeks ago and I’m working hard at it everyday to positive self talk and listen to speakers and meditation! I just want to thank you for all you do! Beautiful smile by the way!

I think I needed to hear this. I've been avoiding therapy and avoiding just facing it for quite some time now, and the only result I got from it is just that I'm getting worse every single day. I relapsed in self-harm and the anxiety is overwhelming, I either binge everyday or starve myself, I cry and stay in bed all day or fake a smile and break down in the evening once I'm alone in my room, I fail my studies and lost any sort of self-esteem, self-confidence or whatsoever...
I've been considering therapy these past two days, and i've been avoiding it just by pure fear and terror of opening up, cause it doesn't only mean talking to someone, it means admitting everything to myself...
I don't know how long I can stay on my own with my thoughts, with the anxiety, with the tears and the urges. I know I need help, the question is, how do I take the leap?
It seems hopeless yet I want to get help cause I can't handle it really any longer.

[davidbanas]

And I think you are simply more amazing than you realize, in more ways than I can realize.

[GenevieveThornton]

Tbh therapy is expensive. A leap that I can’t afford, yet believe I need.

Que palabras más hermosas, me ha encantado este vídeo; gracias Scott y gracias a la persona que tradujo esto, de otra manera nunca lo hubiera visto esto.
Scott, fue increíble y realmente profundo, tu contenido es de ese que realmente vale la pena, gracias por continuar aquí ♥.

One of the best advice. Love your video as always. I remembered my first session with my psychologist. I felt weird to try to explain the mess in my head. Little I know how he did it, but my psychologist deconstructed my messy thoughts. Now I am looking forward to my next session. I learn to be a better me. It's all worthed.
