Depression Tips: How To Be Motivated When You Are Depressed, Sad, Or Bored (MHM Ep.18)

In this video, I share how to be motivated when you are depressed, sad, or bored.

The video is more focused around my experiences and the mental health tips I provide are primarily aimed at assisting major depressive disorder, or major depression.

These depression tips will help you to stay motivated during your toughest days. It is not an absolute guide how to treat depression, but it will help to build up more tools in your toolbox.

We discuss how exercise for depression can help break the cycle, and even into topics like responsible sex for depression, as well.

Stumbled upon this as the pandemic has made these episodes a lot harder, but this is one of the more helpful videos out there. Super well spoken and judgement free, thank you :)

I rate this as one of Chris' most brilliant videos. And I take heart from the fact that he was able to do it when, as he admits on the video, that he worked on it on a day when he started out depressed. Millions of people who don't think of themselves as needing this sort of help would benefit from seeing this. Let's work on making sure they find and try it. P.S. I like the backyard setting, too

Excellent tips! Some I was doing....but fell out of practice.😞 I'm getting back into it and make a Daily Self Care exercise to start each day.😁 (I like to do a Tai Chi, stretches, ect.)

hey Chris, it was a great talk, and very informative. I was wondering if you could do a video about how to deal with change, and how to let go of the past!!!???😒😕
only if you can,

I can't even make myself watch this to the end, are there any tips for people who can barely get out of bed? I don't want to seem like a spoiled brat but my brain refuses to even try, I understand that doing nothing all day does not help but i can't make myself do anything either, the resistance is way too big and just thinking about it makes me mentally tired. I just feel paralyzed into this and I dont feel like anything could truly help, I watch video after video about how to fix everything yet still, I can't get anything consistently going. Yes, I know that in reality it's half my fault for not trying hard enough but I don't even know if I'm capable of doing it.
