Depression to Expression hai im amirah from Malaysia. Can you share some tips how i can improve or be strong to myself by helping someone with depression. Because im just human beings that sometimes just give up to them. Please helps me and im verry appreciate if you reply to this comment 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I can't believe I wasted 6 minutes of my life on this.... idiot
I don’t wanna live, I don’t want to have to die I just wish I didn’t exist
Life is impermanent. Fact is that you *will* die one day, we have to make the most of every moment because we don't know when it will all be over.
Same
I feel ya....
Inman Gammon same I'm crying right now I didn't ask to live I wish I didn't exist in the first place.
@@DV-zv4ox what will u get by making movement at last we will forget everything....
Being told that life is open ended with unlimited possibilities only makes the depression worse, because it reminds me how I failed at life regardless of that.
That notion that we are so much different from the animals and are liberated because we have a consciousness is naive. We have much less control over our lives than we think, because we have instincts, cognitive and physical limitations, etc. You should love yourself regardless of your perceived failures, the only way to truly live a fulfilling life is to accept and love things the way they are and only work towards improvement from there. Rejecting the reality is a path to (self)destruction, fulfilment comes from the inside, not outside. And I believe it comes through unconditional acceptance and love. Imagine you are raising a child or growing a plant. All living things need nourishment, all effort is pointless if there is no nourishment. You cannot grow a tree in a dessert, and you cannot blame it for being an ugly piece of dying wood when it has no water. I wrote this for anybody who needs to hear it including myself.
Love yourself, please!
@@matejblaha4659 Why should I love myself if I don't care about life in the first place? I was given this so-called "gift" of life by my parents and one I didn't ask for, my parents expect me to make something out of the gift they gave to me, this gift has more flaws than it has useful features, and the gift will expire anyway no matter what one makes of it.
@@SteveInLava Because bitterness is wrong. Not caring about life is wrong. You only cause pain and suffering if you don't care about life - to yourself and others. With some sort of moral understanding and responsibility, you should do what you can to love yourself and others. Life is not openended and it is flawed, but there is beauty in it if you don't refuse to see it. There is no point arguing with you, people are not driven by reason anyway. Just as it would be terribly wrong and sad to advocate for murder, it is wrong to advocate for suicide. It is not only yours energy that went to your life as you said, even though you were hurt, you wouldn't be alive were there not ebough energy in you that keeps you alive.
Exactly. I feel like I ruined my “human experience” ever since I got injured and my life is literally pain everyday.
The guy in this video is an asshole who has no clue about depression
I honestly don‘t know how some people have fun living life.
Same.
I used to and I don’t know how to get back to fun, nothing have colors anymore

Seriously, the only way you can stomach this world is if you're drugged up or heavily fucked up on mythical BS to distract from the corruption.
@@A.Africanus yeeeeees! i'm from Brazil tel e about it :((( the evil always wins
I’m so done with life. Everything feels so pointless. I’m spending what I’m told are the best years of my life completely alone and there’s no obvious reason why. Fuck this cruel world
Preach
Go out and try to make friends
Same as. Been on my own for 15 years never been in love. Hang in there buddy lets give it one more go.
Same here...dealing with floods in my basement a horrible family ps I only know my main family only the 4 of us an my brother has mental illness abusive to his wife an almost killed me an his kids in the past....tried running me over with a car.....an way more to it then that but I'm at work on brake so can't go into detail alot......oh an to top it off I'm 24 an my 4 front teeth got busted out by my gf on acadent.....sooo yea it's been a hard start to life
@@Dogloverofficial101 friends are fake, if you are lucky, u will get 2-3 real friends in your entire life. other than that, they will smile in front of you and stab you in the back. and when u become succesful most of them will get jealous and will be laughing when u go down.
Honestly I’m so proud of so many adults and old people bc I have know idea how they have made it so far in this cruel world
Because they know it's no & not know
They think like regular animals duh
True same here :
Chiel Lazona that’s what I thought
They did not have the same resources available when they were young, we have and that information counts to reasons so many people are depressed right now
The thing is its not a moment. It's years. I come to you calmly not wanting a future. I see a smile in your mouth as you speak. I see your eyes glow into the camera. I hear the success in your voice. I have been living for the sake of others. I fear hurting others with my passing more than death.
Tim Murski I totally understand & feel the same.
I know. People like to say suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Well, when this "temporary" problem is long YEARS of constant pain and disappointment it's a little bit debilitating. Do they think people kill themselves because of some irrelevant childish crap?
i hope you heal and stay alive, sending love and prayers ❤️🩹
Living for the sake of others is our number one issue. We still love, and love deeply. They are why we don't end our lives. They're the reason we're still here. We love them more than life itself literally and yet we hate them because the love we have for them is what binds us to this life. We may be selfish but we ask ourselves every single day; are they more selfish for wanting us to live in pain every moment of every day because they don't want to live without us? Who is the more selfish one?
@@mr.meeseeks5127 I get that, but once you die they will have to live in pain of losing you, so you will just be transferring your pain over to them
Anytime I watch and listen to any positive uplifting words of encouragement or speeches, I can’t stop laughing it’s all a joke
agreed apparently i wasn't born with will power like all these people talk about because I cant push myself to do anything out of the normal shit I do daily
Yeah
"There are many here Among us......who think life is but a joke!!"
True
Right it's so funny to me idk why I laugh
Who else is just reading comments and not listening to what this guy is talking
I did listen, but the comments are great! Very inspiring to know others are going through this, I am not alone. Maybe that sounds bad, but it feels good to know i am not alone.

Like what in the hell is he talking about. I’m literally balling my eyes out confused ass hell
@@aubreyk.9780 I'm sorry but this made me laugh

3 Reasons to live:
1.
2.
3.
the succ meme really is a reason to live for 14 seconds more at a time
@S U C C I really like the third one। Thanks for being a life saver!
Never been a more true statement
Very Well Put!
1. To jerk off
2. To binge watch great TV shows
3. Eat great food
That's all I'm capable of. I'm unable, due to disability, to find reasons through relationships, work, or charity.
“The saddest beat is a heart that doesn’t want to anymore” 😢
deep
Loved that 👌🏻
So true. My heart is still beating, but I died 9 months ago
A key part of the human experience is suffering. Why would I want to keep going and experience even more of that. It's not even just that I want to die, I wish that I never even existed at all
You hit the nail on the head for me. Do you ever feel like your pissed that your even alive. I don’t even want to have to kill myself to hurt everybody around me I just think it woulda been more ideal if I wasn’t born kmt
Yep, anti Natalism. David Benatar wrote a book about this
I'm thinking existence is the punishment. We must have done something absolutely terrible to have been sent here.
@@lorenzog7811 I often question whether or not this planet is a penal colony because 😕...
@KP-vp8bzBeen there done that and I came to the conclusion that there's nobody listening.
This young beautiful man is lecturing me about life.... Meh still want to die 😭
Agreed! For those of us who are no longer young, never had such physical beauty and charismatic personality it's far more difficult. I look at Scott and see this hot young dude with a great personality and intelligence, living in a very nice apartment in a cool city and see everything I'm not and don't have, and never will anymore.
@@bflobribean8811 perhaps he was not always that way. Perhaps he was in the same pit we are all in, and willed himself out of it. And after that trial, the good things came to him. I think we (yes, I am in the same boat) are in that point between coal becoming a diamond, where we are in the fire. We are under intense pressure. We are ready (and wanting it to end)...but, I suspect...if somehow, we can make it to the other side, if we can just hold on...there is something better than we could have ever imagined on the other side. I am not an idealist...but I've met many many other people who went through this same hell, and even worse....and they somehow came out the other side as beautiful and as tough as a diamond. To those struggling...hold on. I know the feeling of "I have nothing to contribute, what is the point". But we are all here, on this video. For some reason or another. We are all searching for hope. Like the man said, hold on. Try diligently to find a way...whatever it is, just hold on.
Follow your heart! If you've done your best to try to beat your depression but have lost the battle there is nothing wrong with throwing in the towel. There is NO UPSIDE to prolonged suffering
I'm ugly
What do I do?
Don't worry , you'll be dead before you know it. Avoid coming back, that's the trick. There's too many people on the planet.....it's getting stupid....
Meh. I still wanna die.
same
Same here😧😧
Same
Ditto
Are you dead yet? I don’t think so.
Man! People wanna die, but most of them are still alive because of a reason. Find your reason, hold on tight and live for it.
I wanna die. Most of us wanna die. Knowledge is a curse. The more you know, the more you realize “It doesn’t matter”. That one little reason that keeps us alive, it matters, at least to us.
I struggle to be who I am because I'm forced to meet expectations, even though I'm told they're not forced
this is exactly how i feel
Agree
Too many
@Niphyra I feel this so much 😣😣😣
@Niphyra why you care at all? Be who you want to be
i just feel like there isn’t anything left for me, i just feel numb. i don’t want to do anything, i don’t want to talk to my family, my friends, or anyone. people have tried to reach out to me but i just don’t want to do anymore. i don’t want to have to do this for 60 more years. what’s the point? life is just constant disappointment for me. i don’t want to do this anymore
I’m in the same situation, maybe we can both find a reason to live on. It’s so hard, please try.
I just don't get it I mean ppl say struggle !!! And then life would be great
But what's the point of going through a bad situation if you are gonna get fucked with new bad situations in the future what's the point of living of suffering if yoy can just NOT BE then there's no need to suffer
are you doing any better?
@KP-vp8bzwhat will god do for me
how can such a pretty face be so depressed....how can i make you feel better
Good for you, buddy. If you have that kind of energy, passion for life, and curiosity about the world, you clearly don't have depression/anhedonia anymore. I create my own meaning. Neither meaning nor forging my path is the issue. When everything you do on Earth feels like nothing, no reward, that's when the problem occurs. Life feels like: having to do 100 pushups only to get a piece of uncooked broccoli. Life is just all about that broccoli. Everyone seems to love this broccoli (sense of reward, dopamine, which I don't feel).
I am 39 soon.
For about 20 years I have been having an issue with meaning and path (which you mentioned you don't have). I've been searching all these years and changed lots of occupations, but finally, I recently came to an understanding of what I want from life.
If you have a sense of lack of motivation, reward, and/or purposelessness/meaninglessness, then probably you don't have a purpose worth living. Probably, when you say I don't have an issue with meaning, it ain't so, otherwise, you would have your portion of dopamine.
Doing what you truly love is its own reward.
Seek for it. Try to find that within yourself. It's always within us. Try to recall your dreams when you were a kid. Try to resolve your wounds when you were a kid (those wounds block our dreams).
Research yourself. Study yourself. Know thyself.
And you'll find it. That's how it worked for me.
For me it actually feels like not just an uncooked piece of broccoli but a frozen one in a block of ice so that you don't have to just do all the push-ups but you have to let it pain your mouth and strain your jaw.
@@denizkudayar6206 my dreams from a child are impossible though, if my brain had more been more developed they would never have been goals to begin with but they've never been things I've stopped wanting unfortunately.
"Life feels like: having to do 100 push-ups only to get a piece of uncooked broccoli."
This made me crack up because it's so true.
Depression and anhidonia is so inhumane to experience.
I can't even create a path.. I can't even go outside the apt.
I just suffer every day.
Sorry you're suffering like this.
It's killed the life in me
Last few weeks all i have been thinking about is i am 45 year's old. The happy times in my life are so far behind me that remembering them only makes me more depressed. I have accepted my fate. It's just become to hard to keep going on when in the end i will end up in the same place. Dead.
I'm 52, I hear you
Then you should read the Quran its enjoyable book
Have you tried psylocibin? There is a lot of research going into alternative treatment, and it has helped a lot of people in a way that traditional meds do not...if you can, give it a shot. What do you have to lose?
Feel the same at 36

Is living just to keep others from being sad really reasonable? Why am I the selfish one when I didn’t ask once to be here. Guilting someone into staying has to be one of the worse things you could do.
I get it. I don't want to live but then there's our parents who care for us 🥺 if we die there world dies too 🙂 I only live with the hope that future might be beautiful and I don't want to miss it. I mean it's not easy to get up from bed without any hope and we have been doing this for years. Aren't we suppose to enjoy life if there is...
May be you should see it in a different perspective. Instead of the question you asked, focus on the "helping others" idea. How they perceive it is not your responsibility. Research shows that helping others gives a meaning to life. I recently was thinking about how it is in our nature, as human beings, to survive. For example, if our body is drowning in water, our instinct is to do everything we can to take a breath and live. This shows how, once we are born, we want to survive deep down to our core.
You are right. Instead of guiltily someone, it is better to guide them on finding their lives meaning. Then they would want to live for themselves.
Yea, I’m not sure how long I can stay here anymore
@@ataulkarim8809The future might also be very terrible.
I know this is your style of video and I respect it. But when someone is truly sad, depressed, and needing someone to motivate them, this tone and attitude might make them feel mocked or even more discouraged. Rather than feel understood, this overly ecstatic tone might not be it. But regardless your intentions are good I guess, and you’re taking on this “motivational speaker” thing..
I agree. The moment he opened his radio announcer smiling voice, I wanted to smash it.

Fr. Imagine having a lack of lust for life & someone tells you “be great full you still have the will to be alive & build a path that you’re proud of”. Yea ok buddy like I haven’t thought of that already?
This whole quarantine is just making all my suicidal thoughts worse... I can’t talk to my therapist anymore because he was with my school and not seeing my friends is really taking it’s tole on me. I don’t have any motivation to do any school work and I’m scared to fail my classes but I’m not doing any of my work... I don’t know why- but it’s like I can’t.... I need help and I know I do but I can’t talk to my mom about this... people never understand why I can’t but I’m terrified of her... it’s nothing she’s done and idk why I’m so scared of her but I am...
Opening up to someone is not easy by any means easy, but if u feel like you should u can. I am sure she will understand you
Don’t do something you’ll regret later on that’s just the way I see it I’ve been going through so much but there has to be a reason we are all here you know? I choose to be happy and I choose to live my life the best I can everyday
Diego Hernandez
Yeah, I get that.. they got better for a while but they started getting worse again, if one of my online friends hadn’t been awake I wouldn’t be here right now- that’s a scary thought lol
Tea Party hope you get through this, everyday feels the same for me but I know if I just hang on a little longer I’ll look back at this as motivation
The fact that I relate to this so well is just sad. I can't get anything done, nothing. And idk who to talk about this stuff with, the therapist didn't even take it seriously so I don't wanna go back there
I like to think of life as a dream. Whatever this reality is, whatever this conscious experience is, when we die, we'll experience a different state of consciousness. It's just like waking up from a dream. All it really comes down to is whether or not you want to have a good dream that you'll remember forever and you can look back and smile about, or if you want have a nightmare. All we take with us when we die is memories. We take nothing else. Nothing else but our conscience. I just want to stock up on good memories. Peace
Man that's interesting, why do you live? Is a dream worth it is pain worth it is a endless wave of stone slamming your brain and heart as your mental state is no more is it worth having a good dream anyways
Niceeeee

I’m 17, I’ve struggled with depression and anxiety since I was around 10. Having depression and anxiety for so long has set me ages behind my peers. I just got lead on by a girl (apparently she planned it) and this just dropped me off the edge again. Finally someone talks to me and it all just goes to shit. I’ve had suicide attempts before but I think this is the final straw.

One of the few strategies I’ve used to alleviate suicidal tension and despair is to consciously remind myself that my current experience is temporary. Some other methods for coping include massive hydration (flavoring the water can help), eating comforting food, resting (though periodically attempting to put the body in motion, even if it’s simply sitting up), consuming a nutritional shake (I *highly* recommend investing in liquid nutrition if financially feasible; consume at least one full serving per day), very mild exercise, such as a brief walk around the block (even simply pacing in your room helps, as long as it doesn’t exaggerate anxiety/stress), warm baths/showers (maybe have a bubble bath or include a rubber ducky!), meditation (even if it’s simply focusing on your breath and observing your experience), listening to *positive* music (as cathartic and comforting dark music may seem, it’s not necessarily healthy for relaxing the mental-emotional loops that are causing you pain), consuming *wholesome* media (dark humor and usage of irony only does so much across all contexts, really try to consciously aim towards consuming information that sincerely uplifts you; watching Bob Ross for example has helped many), engaging in interaction with a person / animal you love (though this isn’t always accessible. I’ve at times attempted to imagine that I have a fluffy dog next to me who I can snuggle with. Your imagination might be more comforting than first conceived. You could even find solace in giving an object or a piece of art a “personality”, it could very well make a positive impact), stay away from toxic online people (especially on the more notorious platforms like Twitter, Discord, etc.), find one creative outlet that you can exercise once a day (or once a week, or once a month. Don’t feel discouraged if you aren’t moved to express yourself whatsoever, that’s perfectly okay! The activity could be as simple as writing a one line poem, drawing silly faces, or inventing a melody in your head), try to restrain screen time (you can replace the time with a book, a creative activity, or simply use said time to rest your eyes on the couch / bed etc.), try not to drink caffeine too late (it depends on your lifestyle and physical makeup, but try to consume caffeine before noon, or about 8 hours before your next sleeping period. I’m not an expert on this subject, so feel free to do research on optimal caffeine intake), take opportunities to sleep (though try to be active just a *little* bit if you find yourself sleeping most of the time, I know it can be really hard; and if you find that you can’t muster the energy, then that’s okay too), writing down your thoughts / emotions can definitely help (though as mentioned before, it’s perfectly okay if you feel like it can’t be done), reading quotes helps me a lot (especially if they’re from philosophers), and of course there are a plethora of other *healthy* coping strategies (I wish I could make this comment comprehensive. Since I cannot, I highly recommend doing some research on additional strategies if you’re up for it!). Finally, I would like to highly emphasize that seeking professional help can do you wonders; be it with medication, finding a therapist to connect with, or even trying out that one niche treatment that might just change everything (I know some of you don’t have the financial resources to obtain these services. I wish I knew ways around this. At the very least try to do as much research as sufficient on free / inexpensive options.) I hope this post helps you, and I wish you well on the path to feeling better, even if it’s only for a little while. :)
Thank You for Sharing this 💕
I am not depressed but I just have no idea why to invest myself into anything if everything ends in pain.

I just want to live. Live like we used to. Live like tribal people still live. Where hardship is for and with the group. When studied, researchers found almost ZERO depression. Conclusion on the top five things humans need. 1) physical activity 2) omega 3's 3) sunlight 4) anti ruminate behavior 4) healthy sleep 5) social connection
That's it!
I just want to be a human animal.
6) A solid retirement plan

I am being a bad parent and my selfawareness of not being the parent every child deservers is making me more depressed. I actually dont even know how to find my way back to what drove me before I became like this. I used to havea spark and were social. Now I find myself more introvert by the day.

Death is inevitable. Such a short time to be conscious and aware. Inevitably everything dies. Just live as you can.
I'm alive cuz I'm not dead ( this is it ) it doesn't mean that I wanna be alive, I just have no choice ( killing myself?, I don't have the guts to do it). Great video by the way!
Knowing that you CAN create a history/path is not a reason on its own if someone's life feels meaningless
Exactly. The potential of anything doesn't justify its existence, especially when it comes to life
Atheist reasoning to live in a world of suffering is completely a unsatisfying answer.

Whats the point of doing something and make a history
After millions of years humanity wont exist
Everything in life has an end. But those things still have value while they exist. Think about the time someone was truly nice to you. Someday both of you would cease to exist but still you felt nice when it happened right? It matters to you even if it ended. That's the point of doing something. The point that you did something good. Even if the goodness ended, who cares? At least you did something.
Laura Urbāne same nothing really matters in life everything will be forgotten and will disappear
@@iamdissapointed6810 yeah in the end everything ends. But till then those things stay and they matter till then. If someone makes you happy, it matters to you even if it won't stay forever.
i just find everything so dull, nothing to work towards, i am 25, i dropped out of high school i stayed at home doing nothing for 5 years, absolutely nothing, I was depressed, i was able to magically get out of that whole started working, made friends lost friends, made new ones, lost all of them, got different jobs, some bad paying some good paying, covid hit, moved back to my mom's house, did nothing for a year, got into discord found a community I liked made a friend like them a lot, got very good job working from home, I have bought stuff read books, i have done drugs, watched tv, had happy moments, bad ones, when I was young and depressed i though there was a way out, but now that i have a job i like people i like i still do not have a reason to live, i feel the more i try and the more i achieve, the more meaningless everything feels, i am really tired, i am tired of trying, tired of archiving my goals, making friendships, learning about stuff i like and the only reward i get is more emptiness, more void, less stuff that can make me happy, less things to take out of the list that can take away this emptiness that i have inside of me, every time i push myself forward, i get pushed right back in into nihilism no reasons to keep trying, the more i achieve the more Empty i feel, and the more i am driven to finally end it all, life is just a joke, i used to think to provide myself some kind of meaning, that the meaning of life is to search for the meaning of life, and i think i am very close of ending that search, and it was all what I expected from the beginning, i wish I had never come in this path I wish I was dumb and never have asked all of this stupid questions, being conscious is suffering, and i am really tired of being, but i am scarred of nothingness for ever, but day by day the idea becomes more and more appealing and I am really scarred i feel so lost, i really need help and have no idea where to start, please if anyone is reading this i just want to know what to do, please i really want to keep trying but i am really tired
That smile is more fake then mine.
Mines faker
I really don't want to live more 😭😔
@Evan Mulryan Am so sorry..
I don’t need motivation I need someone that loves me but that can’t exist
you are to happy. not meeting us at the same vibration, when talking about these topics, makes me more anxious
Maybe meeting good people like you is my reason to live..how ever I'm so sick of fake people
i think i can not find good people anymore. I tried so hard for many times 🤷🏻♀️
I am 28 years young now and i try to better myself but i have zero energy i went through alot of stress for a long period of time and when i came down from all that stress i was so tense, exhausted, depressed and lost, i isolated myself from friends and family and now i feel empty and alone in the world i really do not see the point of going on with this torment.
God I just found you 4 days ago. Your videos are what make my morning a little easier on me. Bless what you do man.
Lindsay, your comment makes me smile. Thanks for you comment and great job this morning!
just do something you love. write, read, watch an animated movie. just take it easy. and dont be so worried. its no big deal. everything's fine. you got this.
But why should I get this? What's the point of going through all this
I don’t love anything.
every time I watch your videos I feel alive and like I'm learning more about how to be a human. How to deal with my problems. Thank you Scott-love GBS
Love ya budddyyyyyy
My body is a smiling mask. My heart is an empty vessel. My mind is a communicator for both. It's so contradicting wanting to 💀 but also wanting to live. Feeling like I'm incapable of loving myself. So why should I expect others to be able to love me? I would offer myself to others til I saw that hurting more. So I dim it down. A proper balance and I still feel incomplete. I run with hobbies that keep my mind distracted. Good people around me to feed me positivity. But why do I feel so empty? I used to think it was my trauma. When I was violated as a kid. But lately it's been the thought of incapable of love.
Well dressed Chad in a furnished home tells me life is worth living. It would be kind of funny, if it weren't so sad.
i see right through this man. he is depressed and wants to help people feel better cause he feels bad. He knows what it can be like. I wonder if he believes the things he says will help greatly or ease a great pain slightly. while this didn't help me, whoever read this, please know that people know what it's like and they want to help. have a good day everyone, I hope you live and i hope he helped you.
I understand and appreciate the message here but you really are undermining the damage suicidal feelings can have on a person. Unfortunately it's not as simple as playing the '' happy game '' and hoping everything will be alright in tha morning because for 90% of those people suffering with these feelings, it won't be alright in the morning. It might not be alright for the next year or god forbid the rest of their lives. I do like your positive attitude and how you're trying to bring everyone up with it but tbh people need the truth and a realistic answer.
The truth is the answer sucks no matter which way you look at it. The world is shit and we all just have to find a way to muddle through.
Just knowing other people are in a similar situation can help. Talking can help. Therapy can help. Getting out and trying to do the little things that make u happy can help. Trying to connect with positive people can help. None of this though will fix what's gone wrong and nobody is about to forget the pain they've been in but it will help and hopefully give a new lease of life.
Some days i have to put myself under arrest to even just get my head up off the pillow but i'm still here. You there reading this are still here & that means something whether you believe that or not. This world isn't about to change but every single one of you in this thread are proving there's some goodness to it. If for nothing else, give yourself a pat on tha back for that...
Wishing everyone all tha best. Keep that light burning 😘💜
idk the “please stay strong made me cry” , because i thought that the favour was to buy something from you or click on some link or something. just the fact that that was the favour you were asking for made me gain a lil’ more faith in humanity. thank you
Cuz we die anyway so better live in the meantime :p
No but seriously. Im just curious how my story will go. I am too curious. In church they ask what is the meaning of life. They are annoyed at me for not caring about the meaning. I give my life meaning.
Wow ! Thank you so much .
Next time when I question myself why to live , I will say myself because I want to know my story .
I really love you for this answer. It's so convincing. May u always be happy and may ur story be a award winning one .
💛💛💛
@Mike C when people are all happy and busy in life they don't seek connection.. those seeking connection are depressed ones. It's sad reality that we can see people all around but they are not close to heart. In such cases we only can be optimistic , start giving love to others though we may not get anything in return and live on till life gives you a reason. C'mon develop connections yourself. Connect with pets and children first, it's easy. Connect with elderly people, they are lonely. Invest your time on really bringing smile on face who needs it without expecting anything in return. Connection develops. And if you are too lazy like me , just write few lines like this in internet , connection develops 😉. Hope you feel my wish for you to really be happ and be excited for next day of ur life everyday . Happy living 😊
The moment you said please don't give up I started crying. Thank you so much
Why suffer and endure pain when everything will end in death anyway. Isn't it better to end it today and shorten the suffering? I have been asking myself this question for the last two years, and I find no reason why I should continue to suffer when deliverance is so easy. The only reason I am still here is because of my people-pleasing attitude, because I don't want to hurt them.
Wow.... you said it. I couldn't say it. I do feel this way. I suffering from so many different things. You suffer from deaths in your family, from divorce, career job loss, all your possession taken away
........ but it doesn't stop there.
Then comes the anxiety, insomnia, severe depression, ..!!! Then, those things cause mental and physical health problems...
You just want to die... you hate yourself, life, and ruminate on all your mistakes in life. This guy knows nothing.
I did a big mistake and while it didn't really affect anyone, I still feel depressed and feeling that I don't deserve to even enjoy life
Pretending there is meaning to life, making my bed and doing laundry does not make me any less depressed…. In fact having to do this pointless shit over and over again just makes it worse. Life is meaningless.
I try so hard to make my path and change my life but the people I care about don't seem to give a shit about me and I try to meet new people but they treat me the same. At this point I feel worthless in the eyes of others even though I don't think I'm worthless. But I need meaningful connection and love and I'm afraid I'll always be chasing this thing I can't have.
Don’t chase .. change for yourself , change just one thing negative in your life and make it positive and i promise then you’ll see the difference in just one thing , Bcus you won’t ever get anything different if you don’t want to do it for you in the first place , you can’t keep blaming people not giving a shit about you for you to want to change that’s all up to you , Bcus let’s be honest you all you got wether u tired of hearing that or not that’s the truth nobody give a fuck about u and you right so love yourself Bcus nobody gon do it harder than you , have that meaningful connection with yourself I hope you find it in yourself Bcus nobody is going to make you change but you
This is actually dangerous to people who are actually depressed.
There is no more enjoyment in this world. Just pain. My sister has terminal brain cancer and my 85 year old mother is having a very hard time processing it. I just want to die. Sadness is everywhere in my life.
ive been here, still struggling, been on my own since i was 16, was in a seven year relationship and she passed away from cancer. i have no help with my kid, balancing work , bills and the house alone with no help is hard, especially in the house i worked hard as hell to buy for my fiance who passed. staying here in this empty home destroyes me everyday. ive never been so alone and that year i took off work to take care of her bc she couldn't walk move or eat was tuff. ive never been so alone...or felt so disconnected...im only here for my kid... i have no purpose.. i want from being someones everything . to nobobys anything
Dam.... that is ruff. It's hearing others suffering with my similar situations, I feel somewhat validated.
I just don't want to live with the mental illnesses that came after loosing everyone, then my career job I loved. I just can't accept it. I don't have to purpose I had. ... its ruff when you are crushed..❤
so for me yes i’m aware i can forge my own path and all, but i’m at the point where i realized that that path will be worthless because i am not special and have no talent and have no future :(
thats where im at bro i had a small glimpse of hope seeing all these motivational videos and people saying we can do anything. Then came the harsh reality that I almost failed high school and the only life I have ahead of me is minimum wage jobs and debt not to mention I'm not really physically attractive or emotionally interesting so goodbye to relationships to
The Road Home yea man, exactly the same for me. i’m a senior in high school. got bummy grades every year. while all my friends are off to college my life is probably l going to be working minimum wage jobs with no friends. i’m a measly 5’6 and not super attractive too which makes life a whole lot harder. pair all that with anxiety and depression and it’s not the best mix haha. it’s okay though, i’m starting to realize it’s the little things that makes life worth living. it’s knowing there’s probably millions of others feeling exactly how i am. i’ve learned to not really take anything too seriously and just live. true happiness is to enjoy the present without anxious dependence on the future or regret for the past. dont let your negative thoughts consume you. don’t have expectations, just experience things. acceptance, peace, patience.
One way to fight anxiety and depression is to absolutely not care about anything in life or death, we have nothing to gain and nothing to lose, so nothing is valuable to us, then why care about it in the first place, by not caring you will defeat against overthinking and being depressed, I used to really be afraid if death, but I realized that life is not important, because no matter what I do, what I become, I will eventually die, but I'm not tryna say life is bad, no life is both good and bad, but you should not care about either of those things, just enjoy, you shouldn't even care about enjoyment either, the less you care the more you enjoy the things you like, people often assume not caring is a sign of depression, actually those who are depressed tend to care more than the average person
I feel like i dont deserve to live, i feel like a monster, i unintentionally hurt everyone around me... this might help.
This actually helped motivate me to try and get past the problem in my life instead of just deciding to stop being alive which wouldn't solve anything. I need to look into this thing that keeps bugging me and try to move past it instead of being trapped by it. Thank you, I severely needed this right now.
i just don't want to exist. I don't want to experience anything.
Anyone who begins with Descartes ends with nihilism. He should start with Aristotle and Plato to at least land in reality.
I feel like shit, everyone I’ve known has pretended to like and care about me there is no point anymore and I just want to throw back a bottle of pain killers like a box of tic tacs
You destroyed the whole thing with those three damaging words at the end…”you got this”
I want to die at any cost.. I don't know why I'm still living this life 😞😭😭😭....whenever I go to bed.... I always wish that I never wake up.... Don't know when god listen to me 😭😭😭😭😭😭
True bro 🥺😩
I miss the love and happiness that used to surround us. Every day is a struggle. Too much ugliness. Can no longer find the beauty. What's the point...just going through the motions until someone figures it out.
Another great video, thank you Scott :)
I find some things in life so fulfilling and plentiful, but others make me wish I I was dead. I've been struggling with suicidal ideation since I was 10, and now I'm 26. I think it would hurt too many people if I died now, so im not gonna do it. But sometimes I wish I could go back and time and just tell myself, "actually, it does not get better."
Therapy has been never been helpful for me. I want to do something productive for myself. But...what?
I’m glad this video worked for a lot of people
Me too. However, if I were seriously suicidal at this moment, it wouldn't cut it. Not does it change my eventual plans.
5 years this has been up and I’ve watched it multiple times. It’s done nothing for me unfortunately.
Why should living be my responsibility when in the first instance I have no hand in creating myself??
This is an excellent question, and I'd love to read Scott's response to it.
I realized I disliked this video 2 years ago. And I'm here again, as hopeless as before.
Hey, how are you ?? Whay happened, are you okay ??
I feel it I dont wanna live anymore I feel worthless
why do people always say animals cant reason, they ofc can when they seek out prey smaller than their own size.
I'm just bored... no job, no college, no partner....everything is just so boring....I'm not even depressed, I'm just meh....i don't want to live nor die either
This is mostly how I feel. I feel sad alot because of it and other stuff
@@wow-wu5yp for me there's always something to be sad about 🤦🏻♀️
puckerpop: You're actually lucky... Sure, boredom sucks - but it's nothing compared to living a life of constant sorrow/sadness/emotional pain.
I am coping with depression, and I am in the journey to know who I am and work consciousness. I have no friend nor a support system right now. So thanks for this video. It's feel you are talking to me. It's feel I am understood. Have a good day. English is not my first language just in case. Thanks for those words. And yes I learnt today.
I wish I could say this is helpful.
This is a well meaning video and I think the core lesson is that if you’re not clinically depressed you can work through it by gratitude and the ownership of your life and the blank pages left to live.
However, if you’re clinically long term depressed this amounts to a pep talk and isn’t very useful other than to maybe give you tools to help moderate some symptoms.
I think medication and doctors are the first step and the hardest step.
As for meaning in life. I get a keen sense that there is a reason for us being here. Oh, the simpletons amongst us will attribute it to some religious belief or another but in truth we aren’t meant to know that or understand if no or possibly ever. It’s foolish to waste our time searching for an answer that cannot be found in this life. Like what happens after death, what happens will happen regardless of our theory. The raindrop will flow to the ocean whatever the path and regardless of the obstacles.
Not really useful advise for someone with depression.... If you had a bad day, sure! But if you are depressed, this really won't cut it unfortunately
Exactly.
I dont want anyone to miss me when am gone. No one deserves my presence. My absence will solve my problem permanently
Did you feel or remember anything before you where born? No? Well. That's how it is when you stop. When you die.
Look. In the history of supposed time and the vastness of space we are all of us and everything that lives will cease.
Why? I don't know I am sure no one else knows either.
In the meantime. Be well and try to find peace and contentment in the time you have. And ponder...
Found this today, April 16th, 2022... Thank you, I really needed to see and hear this. It says it was posted 4 years ago...I hope you are still going on your path.
Thank you so much for making this video! I had really had it today and I was questioning at one point why I should live any longer, after watching this video it literally saved a life and I was able to answer 2/3 of those questions with a yes. The impact that just one 6:28 long video can do is amazing. Thank you for helping me and helping all these other people. Please keep doing what you’re doing🙏🏻
I’m so angry that I don’t have parents or any family who loves me when they’re literally programmed to love me. It created so much of my problems today into adulthood, sometimes I don’t know what the point is? Nobody truly cares.
I needed this thank the lord for you
I made have heard this same message a billion times before, but it was never put in such a way that made it so basic and yet so powerful!!!
What if you don’t have control and your abused and restricted by others ?
almira Ask for help without putting your self in risk, find a way to keep inner straight meanwhile. Meditate, that can help you to have a safe place in your own mind. Be care.
Thanks i have been really down lately. Job loss (b4 i started) , never been in love, got no kids, got no social life. I do skateboard buts its on my own. I dont want another 15 years on my own. I cant go to parents as they blame themselves. Just want to reach out to someone....
