  • Hi Guys, it’s been a while. I wanted to come back with this video to open up about what I’ve been dealing with for the last 10 years and why I chose to stop taking my anti-depressants after being misdiagnosed by so many psychiatrists since I was 17. I hope this video helps someone out there. Please share your story in the comments below, thank you for watch and for supporting me, you are not alone, I love you. xoxo Daniel

      as someone who’s been taking steps toward therapy and recovery, i feel pretty much the same as you. and i believe that’s called suicidal ideation, but don’t quote me on that i’m not a doctor. just wanna let you know you aren’t alone, and most days tend to just be about the bare minimum survival, and that’s completely okay too. stay strong

      So many people do and it’s sad that this isn’t a topic talked about in society today. I also think it does stem from being misdiagnosed and also medications. I had my first son 11 years ago and I almost died. The drs have hyped me up on some of the worst pain medications and I have struggled but got off 3 of the 5 of them. Daniel thank you for speaking about this. Can you maybe talk about how it was being in a relationship with these issues?

    I’ve been there... I am there. I lost my Son 12 years ago when he was 16 and have been pretty much numb ever since. After finally reaching breaking point last year I got help and changed my meds. Now I am in a new home ready for a new start and slowly building my life back up. We will both get there... So much love for you Daniel ❤️ xx

    For everyone: Taking medication does not mean you failed. Sometimes you just need some help in order to show you how the therapy is supposed to work. It took a lot of years for me to realize this myself.

      I take fluoxetine for my OCD and anxiety, I’ve suffered with depression and ptsd and when I was 18 I kept way too much to myself whilst suffering from loss and life changes... now I have such a different look on life and try and be as open as possible so people can be like oh! I didn’t know that about you and you wear it on your sleeve and can see that it’s nothing to be afraid or ashamed of! Being on medication doesn’t bother me in the slightest, I’m not ashamed that right now I need some help to get back on track and everybody should try and have the best outlook on life that you possibly can, we only get one embrace it entirely, flaws and all! Stay strong Daniel and thanks for sharing as people need to see that it’s okay!

      Ofcourse in a perfect world no one should ever have to be on medication for anything, but sometimes thats the only option to make it trough. I really wish i could be able to afford other therapies and treatments, but until then, i still have bills to pay, responsibilities, and unless i take my own life i cant just shut down. So then, medication is sometimes needed just to keep staying alive

  • @Desolationangell
    @Desolationangell 3 года назад +63

    "it's not selfish to put yourself first" I really needed to hear this. I have been feeling like stretched so thin, and don't focus on me more than others. I also have depression and anxiety/panic and have been considering that my medication isn't entirely right. I feel like you said - foggy headed and zombie most days. Watching this is giving me motivation to talk to my doctor again and try to gather my energy to fight to actually feel happy again. I can't remember the last time I felt that way, like deep down inside truly. This took courage for you to share, you're seen and heard, it is HARD to be vulnerable. But you're showing us it's okay.

    • @amybakay536
      @amybakay536 3 года назад +1

      People always say to put your children first, but many times, I say the opposite. If you're unhappy, many times your children will be unhappy. Children really feel and notice these types of things! The happier and healthier you are, the better off your children will be. Taking time for yourself when you have kids should be high on your list. I was very unhealthy at one point, mentally and physically, and I slept a lot. Once I took the time to take care of my self and felt better, I was able to do more with my son. He actually told me, he liked the new me, because we did more together.

    Thank you so much for being open about your depression, medication and seeking therapy. I relate so much to struggling with being guarded and not sharing your feelings with your friends and being there for everyone but yourself. I was described as a "rescuer" by my therapist, always trying to save others and be there for others which leads to not knowing yourself and feeling alone. You deserve happiness. Life is short. You're such an incredible man, talented, funny, compassionate and honest x

    I was 50 before I realized that my lack of focus and progress was depression.... and my adult child informed me of the anxiety I have always had. And yes, a chaotic childhood can be the underlying cause. I had a family of 11 people, and I felt emotionally alone. I have never been medicated or had therapy, but now that I understand, I have been able to be more focused and less sad. All this to say, yep. I get it. it gets better.

    Just because mental health issues can't be seen on an xray or through a blood test, does not make them any less debilitating or frightening. They can and often are, a lifetime battle in the search for feeling "normal". And watching a loved one suffer is almost as bad as suffering through it yourself. Years of trying different meds, therapies, strategies, to no avail can certainly weaken the human spirit. Thanks for speaking up about this.

Refreshing. It felt very refreshing, and like I had met someone I knew in a previous life or something. Lol! Dramatic, I know... but that’s how it felt. I love this Daniel, SO MUCH!

    Thank you for opening up to us. My aunt has depression because her husband died a year ago. He had a brain tumor that they couldn't get out because of the placement. Remember that you have a loving supportive community and we will always be there for you, be your true self and you will be truly happy. ❤ Love you!

    It sounds like people did reach out to you to help in the past, multiple times. So watch out that you don't burn those future bridges. Also perfection is overrated and doesn't exist. Do what makes you happy and you will find like minded people. You're still young, stop trying to grow up so fast. You are how ever young you are and talk about forever houses. So many people your age and older still live with their parents in the birth home. Don't forget to count your accomplishments no matter how small they are, and take stock of what you can learn about each experience.

    Omg 💔 I didn't watch your video at all yet but seeing your thumbnail and reading your title made me ☹☹. I'm so sorry you're battling depression, it's harder than anything I experienced. I want to share with you something in my journal:
    "THE OPPOSITE OF DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY IS GRATEFULNESS. When I figure out what the stressors are. I remember to think reasonably as to who, what, when, where, and why I feel the way I do. Most importantly I do my best to find how I can get rid of it. I am able to be a warrior, a strong brave warrior who fights all my anxiety, stress, and worries away. Here are some of my anxiety resets:
    Being with my mom
    Taking a walk
    Taking a shower
    Taking deep breaths
    Saying a prayer and speaking with God
    Napping
    Talking to my Angel's
    Sleeping
    Taking more deep breaths
    Remembering to count my blessings is the best way to combat negative energy. Nothing will get under your skin if you don't let it!"
    Daniel, I hope you read this. You are a fighter. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. I promise you. You have people to live for Daniel. Let's get through this life together. Much love, xoxo

    LOVE this! I have dealt with my own anxiety and trauma issues. It has brought me to become a therapist. I want to thank you for your courage. It makes so much sense that as a child you were raised to not express your emotions. Sadly, males in many cultures are taught emotions=weakness. It then causes these human emotions ( not female emotions) to be repressed, enter anger, lack of ability to communicate, depression, and anxiety to name a few.
    On top of that, to be raised and given the role to " do for others, make others happy", creates the narrative that " my feelings are not as important as others, others are more important than me, Id be selfish to ask for my own needs", and feelings of guilt.
    It makes sense that once you stopped having someone to care for, you felt worse 1st. This was something that had taught you your value as a person is how you give to others. It was when you gave you felt important and accepted, w/o that, you would understandably feel a lack of that, but it's not true!!!
    I'm glad you looked into your meds and realized those meds weren't helping. IDK what they diagnosed you with, but if you were repressed and had dealt with trauma, you honestly would be NORMAL for feeling sad, alone, depressed and anxious. It's not a disorder,, its a REACTION to a life that hurt you!!!!!
    Being able to cry, feel ,and share these feelings is amazing! FEEL it!!! be sober to it and feel it!
    This pandemic has brought many people to me who finally stopped to come up for air, or inside the depths to them, and find out, whats going on in them. It's NOT easy and therapy does NOT always feel good. A good therapist will help you , but you have to do the work and it is hard and takes courage!
    As you said, and it's true, you needed that break-up. It's a blessing in a way, you HAVE to have love for you within you first. We can't give what we do not have! we love with OUR love, not others!
    I don't know you well or follow you often, I have loved your decorating videos, so I apologize if im getting you wrong,
    Thanks for this and sharing your story with your platform! keep being you, beautiful! XOXO

    Dear sweet brave Daniel, As soon as I finished watching your whole video, I stopped and prayed for you. I also prayed for anyone going through depression. I have struggled my whole life with depression, and numerous medications. I'm the friend and family member that makes everyone laugh, so when I get depressed people shy away from me.....and I shy away from them. This last year, I have gotten better about reaching out to the right friends and family members who encourage me. Much love and respect from Texas. Love you very much. ❤️

    One thing I have always found hard is putting myself first. I always do things for others even if I am so tired and just want to rest. I am never very good at saying no to people as I am afraid I will lose them. I also suffer from depression and anxiety, I am still on medication and have tried to take my own life before when I was still in high school because I was bullied at school and bullied at home. I am in a better place now but still have my moments. But one thing I need to work on is putting myself first with out feeling guilty I just find it so hard..

    There are many many many young people who need a person to be there for them, and you may need them too.

    Thank you for sharing this Daniel. Your story hits so close to home for me. A few weeks ago I experienced some of the worst anxiety and depression I have had yet. It as the first time I thought about what it would be like if I didn’t exist which was profoundly sad. I cried all day every day and just felt so so alone. I Didn’t talk to anyone and stayed in my own head and absolutely despised myself. and all only to realize it was because I had run out of Zoloft. The first time I’d been off of it in 3 years. I decided then I would devote more time every day to improving my mindfulness and mentality. I’m so happy that I am able to obtain medication to help me. It gives me a starting point for which I can help myself.

    My little brother passed away less than a month ago and I have entered a new level of depression I didn't know existed. I've been on a low dose of welllbutrin for awhile now. A year ago, the start of the pandemic saw an increase of wellbutrin along with another antidepressant and an anxiety med. As of this month 3 antidepressants and 2 anxiety plus something to help me sleep thrown in for good measure. I don't feel like a zombie but I'm not sure they are helping either.
