Autism And Depression | (5 Secret Techniques To Improve Your Mental Health)

1. Take Time In Something New:
Taking the time to learn something new and focus on a new topic will ease your mind and help you overcome depression by shifting the vision of your future into something that’s more positive with a new idea or a new hobby or a new venture this is highly useful.

2. Focus On You (happiness)
Creating a gratitude list to create a self well-being method of knowing what is good in your life or what can be good in your life and focusing in on you as most negative things come from exterior sources focus on you and knowing that you are loved and you are wanted this helps you block out the noise from the exterior of focus on yourself to create happiness from within.

3. Eat Better Food
It’s no myth that food can interrupt the way your well-being and mental state currently occurs. I would highly recommend looking to change your diet to better healthier and clean of foods to help with your motivation and morale and mental health well-being. There are food that will help increase depression and is also foods that help decrease depression just do a quick Google to check these out.

4. Walking (not excesses)
When do you have to depression a lot of people tell you to go and workout and exercise. The worst thing you can probably do when you’re feeling like your whole world is imploding is go to a gym and start squatting squat. The best thing to do is go out and have a walk a few minutes every day this will help increase your mental ability to deal with stress and depression and also help you overcome it quickly.

5. Remove Negative Thoughts With Positive Ideas
Follow the same lines as the Buddha says to destroy negative thoughts with positive thoughts this is a step above that. If you create positive ideas every time you think of a negative thought or a negative thought comes into your head, you will increase your ability to deal with negative thoughts and the positive ideas you have could help you be more creative and happy in the long term.

I find my mood is lifted when I am surrounded by nature, especially trees, listening to birds singing or being near water. I love listening to the sound of the sea and I have a night light which has different nature sounds and I use at night.

[taeyeonmoon]

I heard that depression and Autism are really related. I’m autistic and sometimes I think I’m more depression than person (mentally talking)

I am feeling super sad, scared, hopeless right now. Thank you for this video. I’ve made such good changes lately and have been feeling much better, but really feeling my shortcomings today. Knowing I need support but I’m scared to reach out to the medical professionals. I just moved to a new place and need all new health care and I have had such nightmare experiences in the past that I’m scared I’m going to get abused again.

11:16 I LOVE this idea and it’s something I find so very helpful. Thank you, I was just able to take a deep breath.

First, let me say that this was the BEST video you've created, IMO.

I have a strange suggestion from my experiences...
When I am depressed, and really stuck resisting doing basic things like showering, I put on a podcast while doing the task. It seems to be enough of a distraction from my internal negative thinking. It has been so effective that now pressing play on a podcast functions like a start button, just start by getting up!

I would love to see research supporting why this kind of strategy works.

You are making a difference! All the Best.

I definitely endorse going out for a walk if you don't have the energy for more vigorous exercise.

I have Aspergers, and I’ve been depressed for the past two weeks. I’m 36 years old, unemployed and still living with my Dad (who can’t stand me because I give him stress that triggers his heart problems. He had two stents installed in his heart this past summer). I have no driver’s license to go anywhere and I don’t have a life, and I’m not fully independent (I depend on my Dad to get me food, clothes, shelter, etc.)! I really don’t have much of a life. I feel like I let God and my family down! I just feel terrible! I would go in the gym to get in shape and curb depression if I had money for membership, but I don’t! Does being depressed make me a selfish person? Sorry for this very long comment, I just had to vent!

I’m feeling really sad and out of hope, I want to be more positive - as so many traumatic events have occurred; I can’t help being either angry or upset. I have dopamine dys-regulation due to ASD/ADD - and further PTSD. I have tried a-z antidepressants (adverse affects) and instead use other medication, but every time I go outside I find I often find it hard to get “the most” out it - I just see litter and mess and human grossness, even amongst nature - go to the shops and people are aggressive towards me. I’m not sure how to engage with the outside world anymore. It feels unsafe and sad.

I'll be grateful when I see a bit of sunshine

[rachelledownton]

You are so refreshing as your tips are mostly different and so true to our reality of how we feel and what we are actually capable of when down this far. Thanks for sharing.

My Aspie girl is in mental hospital for depression now. She is 14, and she is so concentrated on her misery, that she doesn't see good things in her life. Even if I try to list it. Like loving family, sweet dog, own nice room, talent to draw and so on. How to turn a person facing north, that just behind her, wonderful day is raising? It's enough to turn.

[aliciabell]

God bless you thankyou so much for this video! Currently writing stuff down now really helps writing down my feelings and gratitude points!

[megazombiefan]

Yes, I just recovered from a rut that I was in for a month and a half and I just got out of it a week ago.

[pteropus]

These are great ideas that I have effectively used myself. It's very helpful to see them collected in one place, as reminders for the next time I am depressed.💗

My partner has mild Asperger's and has some years ago began to suffer from depression. His depression has lasted for almost 3 years and some months ago got worsened. He is possessive and never like other people to touch or flirt with me even if it's accidental. He saw me as part of him and if I got touched, he would feel very uncomfortable and be sulky about it for much longer time than an average person. He would remember the incident vividly and many of these incidents have added up to his depression. He just never seem to get well. He refused to do therapy but he took antidepressiom from the psychiatrist as he thinks that these people won't help. I am so helpless I can only watch him getting into depression deeper and deeper each day and he started to show signs of hurting himself by banging the wall or hurting himself with items. He said he did this to stop himself from going into the depression abyss so that he can stay rational. He said he have two voices arguing in his head all the time. One talking shat about me and one defending me. I really at the verge of breaking down seeing him like this everytime. Can anyone help me?

Btw he has quite a high IQ and therefore it's very hard to convince him to relax or etc. He ha

[alexadellastella]

i really love what you do! thank you! so tough to be on the spectrum i feel...

I have discovered those steps along my journey too plus music and dancing. This last month was hard for me too. Depression hit mit so hard, almost out of no where. I think I crashed mentally basically from watching all the political news on MSNBC, regular news, tragedies and impeachment hearings and obsessively to try “understand” what the heck is going on in the world. Ugh, it’s frustrating trying to wrap your mind around what is happening in the world. I am using the technics you talked about except walking out in nature, which will be my next step. Right now I am working on compassion vs empathy. I realized I was using empathy instead of compassion. Empathy alone was Literally making me sick because I would just absorb the stories of pain and then mirror that pain in my body, I become their pain, that is not at all helpful. But with compassion there is a boundry and respect for the other, you don’t become them by joining in their pain. Compassion you express into action - caring by doing - like you do with your videos. I am concentrating on the Buddhist saying you can’t have a lotus without mud, that is the fertile ground upon which it grows. You also can’t have a lotus without sunshine or water or the right environment. I am assuming in the political world we are all in the mud right now and that is all we see. But someday there will be a Lotus, in the right environment.

I’m here to try and help my best friend. I have unfortunately gotten frustrated and upset with him because he hasn’t opened up to me enough but I realized the reason he hasn’t is because I don’t understand his problems fully because I don’t have them. Right now he’s at a very bad point and he just now finally said so himself. I already knew he was struggling because he told me but he kept saying he was fine. He finally accepted it but I want to help him get professional help and to open up to his parents.
