@@Wife_Mother_Failure things will get better. I know you’ve heard this spiel before but I hope you realize it’s true. Whether you find comfort in religion, working to better yourself, reaching out. Or anything else. You will be ok. Im sure this won’t mean much to you but I hope you know how much you are loved. ❤ take care
Im sorry :(... I"ll pray for you, sending all the love and bless, i hope all your pain you are feeling now, may turn in happiness ❤ You are loved and precious, and you can always talk here if you feel opening yourself!
I needed this right now. Thank you. I've definitely fallen into the fixed mindset. After experiencing so many failures, making the same mistakes over and over, and struggling to find a job, I just seemed to dig myself into a depressive hole. Because of that, I just feel like a total failure that didn't accomplish anything this past year, even though in reality, I lost over 60 pounds through exercise, finished a draft of a script and submitted it to contests, and caught up on a few movies I'd been meaning and wanting to see. Time to think differently.
You’ll get into the fixed mindset if you’re unhappy or frustrated and feel like giving up on something and you should not give up to be social and this happened to me and I don’t arrange hanging out with someone myself and only every two weeks I hang out with someone
I swear to God some time I feel like you're living with me. I feel like you're talking about me. Putting the same situation that I experience. I don't need to ask for help you all ways get the point I wanna say:big thanks to this channel you're a life saver
I woke up 35 minutes ago and still can’t seem to get out of bed even though I have to pee. A friend messaged me a week ago asking how I was doing and I still haven’t managed to respond to her even though she’s one of my besties. And I haven’t enjoyed a single waking moment since November. That was a long, indirect way of saying, as always, thank you for the video.
Hey. Stay strong stranger. We are all in this together so don't put yourself down 😊 you can overcome this. We all believe in you no matter how much time it takes 💪
Im the same i sleep for over 10 hours sometimes and i cant get up & if i do i still am trying not to fall asleep throughout the day bc its so boring. Im so behind at school course that i chose to shut up my annoying parents. I dont go to bed until 5-6am. I wish this would all end. Just want to fake my death and move away somewhere alone
The lack of motivation has been a thing that's hit me REALLY strong in recent days, and I was wondering why. A friend of mine suggested it might've been depression, which I started thinking about and brought up to my girlfriend. We had a long conversation about that, and she's strongly suspecting that I have it And now with this video coming up, and me relating to basically everything about it? ...yeah, maybe I do I will definitely bring this up next time I see my therapist
I clicked this due to the fact that i’ve lost a lot of motivation so far, I got this notification while writing some *fanfiction* and realized that I slightly related to some of these. But after watching this I felt a little motivated and eventually got to writing, so truly I think this helped me❤
Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings. This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment.
Psychedelics definitely have potential to deal with mental health issues such as anxiety and depression, I would like to give them a try but haven't found any legit grower to get it.
A lot of people have testified about this and I really want to give it a shot. I put so much on my plate and it definitely affects my stress and anxiety levels
The Trips I've been having have really helped me a lot,I finally feel in control of my emotions and my future and things that used to be mundane to me now seem incredible and full of nuance on top of that I'm way less driven by my ego and I have alot more empathy as well
Idk if I have one of these but I’ve been really unmotivated recently. I loved doing art and I still love doing it now but i feel like I don’t have enough time for it because I’m busy with a lot of stuff for example Homework and School. I used to write all my art plans in a paper which until rn i can’t able to finish even though I wrote it like 5 months ago. I also felt unmotivated to edit my art and post something on my channel...This is what I observed as of rn. Thanks Psych2Go for sharing this❤
I kept hearing all my life that I wasn't needed, and that I wasn't good enough. This video does not talk about the influence of others, but it is a determinant factor in this. All that criticism was what killed my will to learn and to try things. Even though I had ia very high level of curiosity in my youth. My parents started the breaking but Internet gave the killing blow : with social media sites, your work and creations are immediately compared to the best in THE WORLD. So it has become really easy for people to tell you that you suck. Granted, I am very sensitive to insults. But without this bad environment I would never have become so depressed. On an individual scale, I was following all this advice until the meanness of others eventually broke me. So this isn't always one's own fault for having a closed mindset. Far from it.
Same. I rarely get complimented, I'm the butt of 95% of jokes, and I'm treated like an idiot 90% of the time. I never understood why, though. I know I'm extremely helpful to others and I AM pretty dang smart, but I guess I'm just ugly or something. It's like people just look at me and go "yup, he's a dumb guy."
i've felt like this for a long while, and it definitely effects alot of my life as well. reaching out in regards to this seems almost pointless because i think i would get a very general answer
I dunno If I'm feeling blue or just overthinking it, nowadays I can't find the words on how I feel. When I'm sad I often convince myself that I'm okay cause I don't know how to deal with it but I guess it became too much of a habit and now I lied so much to myself that I don't know what's true or not about me. At leats your videos help me to put words on my feelings so I'm glad to know this channel^^
It's okay to be feel that way i can relate you. It's okay to put your feelings into words because sometimes it feels good. Hold nothing in your hurt it is more painful. Express anything you feel in any form either by writing singing or drawing anything you are good at it helps:)❤️
One thing I've learned when talking about your problems is to find someone you can trust to talk about them... Except for your parents, they'll find ways to manipulate you into doing their bidding
That's why I never talk to my parent about my problems. When I said something, the way they replied, make me feel it's my fault, everything ended up become my faults.
This hits harder than Truck-kun. I've always felt weak after making failures over and over again, but I've come to terms with it. I can always learn and improve (even if it takes ages). It's worth the grind. I've started feeling better after making little accomplishments, like leveling up in a video game lol. It's better than being upset about not being a movie star. What REALLY bothers me is how other people don't take me seriously. I know it has a LOT to do with my physical appearance, but that's not my problem (well, to an extent). Even so, I am starting to like myself. Big W.
Can u give me some advice? I have been failing even tho I have a very analytical mind. I m mean I know a lot of problems but can't do shit becoz of what I got or either things that I personally can't have resources. Now I m at an important point in life. Everyone expects me to do something but it's just me who knows that I might go into depression in coming months
@@saurabhjarodia335 I wish I had professional advice, but honestly I don't think I'm the one to give it. A therapist would probably be helpful (if they're good, anyway). I'm still going through stuff. I thought it was over but one of my managers at work started treating me like dust so... yeah. Other than that, I'd say give yourself praise for every achievement you make. Not in an arrogant way, but pat yourself on the back even if you get a small victory. It helps a LOT.
Whenever i feel the slightest lack of motivation the first thing i do is to put up the Vergil's battle theme at full volume to get my motivation back again, works pretty much everytime!
Hi Psych2Go, I’m not sure if you take suggestions, but if possible, could you please provide a video discussing strategies to regulate emotion? I realise you have discussed emotion, suppression, emotional intelligence etc. in the past, though providing actual strategies to regulate (intense emotion) would be incredibly valuable to many of us. Thank you! Love your work as always. Xx
I had all of these around this time last year, I have no idea how I got out of it, all I can say is - nothing lasts forever - and things will get better if you take the time and proper steps to heal yourself. We're all human and we all have times like this - it doesn't make you more or less of anything - and I, unfortunately, had to learn that the hard way. I felt like I was losing time with how many hours I spent in that lethargic state - although time is of the essence... said time doesn't matter if you aren't taking time for your mental health. I'm still battling with this sometimes so idk what else to say lol. Always take your mental health seriously - and only take advice from people who know what they're talking about.
Yess nothing lasts forever you have to keep going....and going there is always a light at the end of a tunnel. I'm glad you got out of whatever you were going through its a process of healing it will take time and episodes of coming back again but at the you will be glad you did not have up and you made it through it all:)
2:10 even if I accomplished something no one noticed it can be super demotivating that no one is going to appreciate I have achieved something they said it's small go for bigger than that ... I can feel the rage in me boiling what's worst someone did the same thing as me but they acknowledge that and gave them a reward is their nothing more infuriating than that .... Felt like I more like a rag doll in front of everyone no matter what I do what I do is completely nothing...
It can be incredibly disheartening to work hard on something, only to have it go unnoticed or be dismissed as insignificant. However, it's important to remember that our self-worth and value as individuals should not be determined by external validation or recognition. Instead, focus on the internal sense of accomplishment and pride that comes from setting and achieving your own goals. Think of it this way, the journey to achieve a goal is like planting a seed, The seed itself may be small, but it has the potential to grow into a mighty tree that provides shade, beauty and fruit. The work you put into it is what makes it meaningful and valuable, not only to yourself but to others. Additionally, remember that everyone's path is different, and others' accomplishments should not be a source of comparison or envy. What may come easily to one person may be a monumental challenge for another. Lastly, consider seeking out opportunities for growth and development, both in terms of your skills and in terms of the types of projects you undertake. As you continue to set and achieve goals, you will gain the confidence and recognition that comes from consistently delivering results. It's understandable that feelings of rage and disappointment may arise when we perceive that our efforts have gone unrecognized, particularly in comparison to others. However, it's important to acknowledge and process these emotions, rather than allowing them to simmer and fester. One way to do this might be to reflect on the specific reasons why this situation is particularly frustrating or anger-inducing for you. Once you have a clearer understanding of the underlying emotions, you can then work on reframing them in a more constructive way. Additionally, it can be helpful to remind yourself that everyone has their own unique strengths and weaknesses, and that your own abilities and contributions are just as valuable and important as anyone else's. Try to focus on the positive aspects of your own efforts and accomplishments, and take time to celebrate your own small wins. Also, don't forget to build a positive relationship with yourself, your own feelings, and acknowledge them without judgment. Recognize when you're feeling demotivated and understand that it's normal and it's ok, that feeling should not prevent you from moving forward, it's a passing feeling. Lastly, don't let the lack of recognition or validation stop you from pursuing your passions and achieving your goals. Remember that true satisfaction and fulfillment come from within, and that your own personal sense of accomplishment is far more valuable than any external validation or reward. So keep pushing forward and let your passions and ambition guide you on your journey to success. 🙂
Life is not a race... It's a process, you shouldn't have to blow through you're feelings, but try to understand them, the better we get to know our true selves, the better we get to grasp of the reality of who we really are, don't let nobody tell you that you can't because you can... It maybe rough to get out of bed sometimes, but trust me I know... But doesn't mean you're worthless or lazy... It just means that you're seeing a different side of you that you didn't know existed, when you wake up, I want you to tell yourself that you're important and you can do anything that you put your mind to and ignore all the negative thoughts and words because they are not worthy of your time and energy, love yourself because you deserve to!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰😘😘🤗🤗🤗
I have clear directions on where to go to improve, the work is on the relative easy side, but time-consuming, all in all, I can clearly state that my motivation, or what I like to call it, my "will to be productive", is dying, or feels already dead, when in school, I can do the work straightforwardly because it feels like a job, so I do it, but once I get home, any homework or any unfinished work feels like an impassable task, so I just shrug it off and relax and have a "lazy day", and these days are getting more and more, and my lack of motivation is just making itself more and more apparent, I was a A+ student before I lost the drive to work and be academic, and only recently have I realized that for my entire life outside of being a kid who doesn't need to think about their future, I showed a lack to want to improve, learn, or obtain a skill to better my life, learn to ride a bike so I can go to school on my own, nope, no will to put in the work and my sister needs to go with me so that's out, I want to learn a certain subject for my future and I already own a book on the subject, but can't find the will to read it despite my love for reading, and only recently I found my 'love' for reading has only grown quiet and I can't even remember the last time I picked up a book and enjoyed it... I was on the road for a scholarship and my dream for college or heck, even a university, but now, it has only become a fear of not being "enough" anymore for that dream... I honestly can't think of the direct reason for my "lack of a will to be productive", I mean, I know depression has some hand in it, but I have no idea what the exact reason is, lost the love to work? Because you have nothing besides your work? Because your not even sure if the subject you want to learn is the subject for you? Have a wonderful life for whoever you are that decided to read this, thank you for your time, and remember, you don't have to be productive all your life, but it's good to do be productive every once in a while.
When I loose motivation I fall back on discipline. If it needs to get done or I know I want to get it done I’ll get it done and feel motivated to continue working once I make good progress.
"I have studiously tried to avoid ever using the word 'madness' to describe my condition. Now and again, the word slips out, but I hate it. 'Madness' is too glamorous a term to convey what happens to most people who are losing their minds. That word is too exciting, too literary, too interesting in its connotations, to convey the boredom, the slowness, the dreariness, the dampness of depression.” - Elizabeth Wurtzel (1967-2020) author of "Prozac Nation: Young and Depressed In America"
Almost two years ago something happened and then I was completely broken down and shattered.I mean it was like all alone in a dark trench..I had no clue about the day,date and time.Neither I had appetite for food nor any interest in socialization. It was as if I was just breathing.I would sit with my laptop and couldn't even type a page in an hour or more.Would just sit and gaze at the screen thinking of the old things.My productivity and efficiency had tremendously decreased, almost to zero. Then came depression, anxiety, nervousness,unrest,lack of sleep etc etc..My condition started getting worst. With no one around me I started searching for help online.I came across those activities which would help me to cope up.I joined violin and guitar classes as hobby.Then started swimming classes.I started listening to motivational videos and also subscribed self help e-books.I would listen to them and then grasp the message and moral it conveyed.Later I became such an avid reader that whenever I used to visit any one's house or a cafe shop I would borrow books if they had of my genera.In my leisure time I would read in my workplace too.By then I had also started writing in Your quote platform.Wrote about 200+ poems and short quotes within a span of a few months.Following this I also started writing blogs.Though an armature but I liked my blogs.I mean I could pen down my thoughts, feelings and emotions. In between this when I started having panic attacks I went myself to the Psychiatric Centre for help.Luckily it's the best Psychiatric Centre of India and to add to the toping I am lucky enough to be treated by a best Assistant Professor.No sooner did I started for counselling I joined Gym and rifle shooting as a pastime.After rigorous effort and sweating I am able to overcome all the adversaties in life. Though it was very difficult at first but it is said that well begun is half done. Today when I look back I see pain,hurt, sufferings,heartache, treachery etc...etc.. but when I look at myself in the mirror I see positivity, optimistic,empathetic,well built muscular hunk to whom people flock to. I am glad that I am able to make it.People who know me pat my shoulder and proudly say that you are a Braveheart and get inspired from my success.
I'm pretty sure I'm not under the pressure of depression, but because of these videos I'm trying to find the threat of such a mindset and start working early to combat the possible issues
a pill isnt going to change your problems. change your toothpaste, learn a stretching routine, make your bed it doesnt have to be perfect. get a chair and sit infront of the window with the sun in your face. learn what nutrition the body needs(water/fat soluble vitamins, amino acids, protein, fiber).
I've never been so early for one of these videos, especially about something I've been wondering about myself for over a month now. The only thing keeping me out of the complete blue is playing music and certain very few friends that I don't get to be with as much as I'd like to. Diminishing accomplishments: I received a price for the best grade in my year and I wasn't making much of a deal about it because despite being successful at school, it seemed to me that I wasn't being successful at being happy. My New Year resolution is to get help.
It’s the reason that I only had two people say happy birthday. It’s the reason that everything feels fake. It’s the reason how I can see myself and I don’t have anything lovable. It’s the reason that my last friend is pulling away. It’s the reason that I’m only 13
Lately I just feeling like laying on my bed all day, not talking to anyone, ignoring texts, not going outside. And its been a month since I last eat a proper meals everyday....I always have the *****dal thought with me everytime I made some mistakes or when anything doesn't go well. I think its bcuz I lack of interaction with people in real life too.. my roommates isn't here since last month too, and I am not ibteractive with other people too. Haha I tend to show that I am okay, I am happy and nothing happens. No one actually know how I feel. Haha
I can definitely attest to the fact that when I do many things in life I find almost every thing bland. If I'm playing video games especially, I wanna play the game at its hardest difficulty which funny enough I was thinking to myself the other day how that is extreme behavior - all or nothing. I don't believe depression works exactly how a psychologist would describe it and that those of us with severe depression require drugs to function but depression definitely can result in extreme behavior and that's most likely due to feeling numb a lot of time and extreme behavior can make you feel good. Something I know I struggle deeply with in life is that everything is temporary, absolutely nothing is permanent. Whether it's eating, sleeping, playing a game, listening to music, watching a movie, talking to someone, doing work and getting paid for it. Everything is temporary. 🙄🤕 Thanks for the work you do Psych2Go and giving people a platform to connect with.🥺😁
I've only realized now that I have no motivation for anything, lack of interest and self esteem. That I think I'm a failure and I'm losing interest in the job that I wanted to do so badly. I can't think of a time when I was motivated and knew I had it in me for school. Now... Well I feel like a wreck, a failure. Even though I have a lot of friends that are always there for me, lovely parents who support me and the best boyfriend I could have asked for. I don't understand why I feel this way and it feels like there is no reason for it. But feeling this way was so normal for me that I thought it was part of my character. I thought I'm just extremely lazy. Now I think I should check in with a doctor.
Yeah that’s why It peeves me off when people say “Oh you’ve got everything going for you, why are you depressed?” But it’s got nothing to do with what’s happening around me, it’s more profound than that. You can be rich and live the life but have depression.
4 out of 5 of these things automatically check the box for me, and this has been an on and off process for me since the start of January... sometimes, it feels like I don't know what's best for me in terms of rest or self care, and unwittingly, I tried to push away my close girlfriend this past weekend because of how I felt mentally and physically. She knows I have depression, but the way it looks and feels to me is different from how it affects her. Sometimes, I don't understand why having depression makes living so difficult 😪😖
Hey Psych2Go team, I dont have a lack of motivation but i dont know how to use my motivation since i slowly recoverd from my depression over the last year and still learn how to socialize again. Could you make a a video about finding a way to use your motivation when u dont know how?
Ah yes I do indeed like being perfectly called out by the literal start of a video. That bed/window layout is a perfect copy of where my bed is, and they're hugging a pillow. Which I also do.
my videos are shit but I used to love editing them, now it's more of a chore for some reason, plus I notice that they hardly get any attention (not that internet fame was ever my goal, but still). it used to be my one outlet along playing the bass, but I find I'm enjoying both less and less. damn, everything in this video applies to me.
Self-distancing- yes, I do that all the time. I can't understand why friends say "It's more fun when you're here".That just makes no sense to me. When I write it out, I can see what they are saying, but I just can't belive it. My family is happy that I live over a thousand miles away. And yet this group of people, who barely know me, think I am wonderful. I think they are deluded. I'm severely depressed and yet they think I'm fun? Weird.
They might find something positive in you that makes them happy. Sometimes people are exhausting find time for yourself and make time to do things that you love doing:)❤️
Psychedelic's definitely have potential to deal with mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression , I would like to try them again but it's just so hard to source out here.
honestly, idk, ive been so unmotivated i cant even get outta bed, honestly i dont relate to any of these things, yet ive been so depressed i cant even get out of bed, and im contantly having negative thoughts..
Whenever I feel like going for a walk my mum questions me and it kills the mood a bit and I just go back to my room, I do understand that she has a list of mental health issues and that herself. When I want to do something outside the home as simple as a walk in the local woodland she always says no and it makes me feel isolated, I know I have autism but I am aware of my surroundings most of the time and it makes me stick the phone all day but I do try something productive but I don't get much feeling from it.
Well i do self distancing.. I am 24 and still not able to find a job.. It makes me insecure.. So i dont attend family functions and frnds get together so that i can avoid "what you do ??" qustn.. It's sooooo depressgg... 😑😑
Hey girl i can relate with you, i hate when people at family functions asks me what are you doing now and it makes me so insecure. But we'll make sure you surround yourself with people who does not judge you there will people who are as same as you so don't just distance or be alone try to find people like you:)❤️
I can say in my life I definitely dread my mother presence however in my case I’m am mentally handicapped she’s all I got instead of therapy I can’t go to her with my problems if she doesn’t know she’s part of the problem
Thank You all at Psych2Go. I would hope that this is helpful to those like me that are at a severe bend in the road. I have a large lack of trust in the medical practices. Drugs a so numbing that I feel like a numb zombie. One of my motivation's is to override the negative motivator's and try to push on through. The apprehension's are a little tough, and I try to realize that the negative is not my ally . Although it is still extremely difficult to convince myself that I have responsibilities and do the best I can. This might be totally off the wall, except that the possibility it might help someone.
I cannot seem to figure out why i'm constantly tired, my body feels heavy, I have no motivations, I dread hanging out with others, and I can't sleep without melatonin. Is this depression or am I burnt out emotionally?
Can anyone refer some links or techniques for people who identify with any of these points brought up? Having things I can do and work on in my own timecan help me get out of this? Watching this made me realize how I been slowly slipping more towards all of these points listed. It's time for me (and everyone else identifying with this) to fight back and reclaim our depression. Thank you all in advance familia
Everything is wrong with me I'm not sure if I'll make it another year with what I have to deal with My body is weaker and breathing is becoming harder to do and a house full of covid all Christmas. Sleep is barely know to me and I fear for my life in my own home. My skills of making things can't improve when I can't get the materials to build new ships and figures. If I don't respond in two months then I'm probably dead or have no access to a device
Is anyone feeling a bit blue so far?
I am. Sadly, im barely motivated to do something .Im always disinterested
I feel so unmotivated to start creating animations/art
I am... :(

I needed this right now. Thank you. I've definitely fallen into the fixed mindset. After experiencing so many failures, making the same mistakes over and over, and struggling to find a job, I just seemed to dig myself into a depressive hole. Because of that, I just feel like a total failure that didn't accomplish anything this past year, even though in reality, I lost over 60 pounds through exercise, finished a draft of a script and submitted it to contests, and caught up on a few movies I'd been meaning and wanting to see. Time to think differently.
You are blessed and you are loved! Surround yourself with the right people!
You’ll get into the fixed mindset if you’re unhappy or frustrated and feel like giving up on something and you should not give up to be social and this happened to me and I don’t arrange hanging out with someone myself and only every two weeks I hang out with someone

Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings. This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment.

The Trips I've been having have really helped me a lot,I finally feel in control of my emotions and my future and things that used to be mundane to me now seem incredible and full of nuance on top of that I'm way less driven by my ego and I have alot more empathy as well
@michealharris3221Does dr.sporess ship?
Idk if I have one of these but I’ve been really unmotivated recently. I loved doing art and I still love doing it now but i feel like I don’t have enough time for it because I’m busy with a lot of stuff for example Homework and School. I used to write all my art plans in a paper which until rn i can’t able to finish even though I wrote it like 5 months ago. I also felt unmotivated to edit my art and post something on my channel...This is what I observed as of rn. Thanks Psych2Go for sharing this❤
I kept hearing all my life that I wasn't needed, and that I wasn't good enough. This video does not talk about the influence of others, but it is a determinant factor in this.
All that criticism was what killed my will to learn and to try things. Even though I had ia very high level of curiosity in my youth. My parents started the breaking but Internet gave the killing blow : with social media sites, your work and creations are immediately compared to the best in THE WORLD. So it has become really easy for people to tell you that you suck.
Granted, I am very sensitive to insults. But without this bad environment I would never have become so depressed. On an individual scale, I was following all this advice until the meanness of others eventually broke me. So this isn't always one's own fault for having a closed mindset. Far from it.
I can relate to that..
Im here for you guys, if you wanna vent or let it out.
Its okay, it won’t bother anyone don’t worry. ^^
Same. I rarely get complimented, I'm the butt of 95% of jokes, and I'm treated like an idiot 90% of the time. I never understood why, though. I know I'm extremely helpful to others and I AM pretty dang smart, but I guess I'm just ugly or something. It's like people just look at me and go "yup, he's a dumb guy."
Well, in my case, my motivation to do anything was killed during midterms when I got bad grades for the first time.
@Fallen I don't think you are ugly. You should not judge yourself to the way that others think for you, I am also being treated like a dumb cow,
i've felt like this for a long while, and it definitely effects alot of my life as well. reaching out in regards to this seems almost pointless because i think i would get a very general answer
I dunno If I'm feeling blue or just overthinking it, nowadays I can't find the words on how I feel. When I'm sad I often convince myself that I'm okay cause I don't know how to deal with it but I guess it became too much of a habit and now I lied so much to myself that I don't know what's true or not about me.
At leats your videos help me to put words on my feelings so I'm glad to know this channel^^
It's okay to be feel that way i can relate you. It's okay to put your feelings into words because sometimes it feels good. Hold nothing in your hurt it is more painful. Express anything you feel in any form either by writing singing or drawing anything you are good at it helps:)❤️
One thing I've learned when talking about your problems is to find someone you can trust to talk about them...
Except for your parents, they'll find ways to manipulate you into doing their bidding
Ripped me apart . I wish I knew I was among vampires all along.
@BeautiFullyBlack and the worst part? You can't fight back
That's why I never talk to my parent about my problems. When I said something, the way they replied, make me feel it's my fault, everything ended up become my faults.
@BeautiFullyBlack i know it SUUUUCCCKS!!!
@@kmayjoon27 exactly!
This hits harder than Truck-kun. I've always felt weak after making failures over and over again, but I've come to terms with it. I can always learn and improve (even if it takes ages). It's worth the grind. I've started feeling better after making little accomplishments, like leveling up in a video game lol. It's better than being upset about not being a movie star.
What REALLY bothers me is how other people don't take me seriously. I know it has a LOT to do with my physical appearance, but that's not my problem (well, to an extent). Even so, I am starting to like myself. Big W.
Can u give me some advice? I have been failing even tho I have a very analytical mind. I m mean I know a lot of problems but can't do shit becoz of what I got or either things that I personally can't have resources. Now I m at an important point in life. Everyone expects me to do something but it's just me who knows that I might go into depression in coming months
@@saurabhjarodia335 I wish I had professional advice, but honestly I don't think I'm the one to give it. A therapist would probably be helpful (if they're good, anyway). I'm still going through stuff. I thought it was over but one of my managers at work started treating me like dust so... yeah.
Other than that, I'd say give yourself praise for every achievement you make. Not in an arrogant way, but pat yourself on the back even if you get a small victory. It helps a LOT.
Small accomplishment makes big success one like never stop improving let people think what they think that does not matter at all.
Whenever i feel the slightest lack of motivation the first thing i do is to put up the Vergil's battle theme at full volume to get my motivation back again, works pretty much everytime!
Hi Psych2Go,
I’m not sure if you take suggestions, but if possible, could you please provide a video discussing strategies to regulate emotion?
I realise you have discussed emotion, suppression, emotional intelligence etc. in the past, though providing actual strategies to regulate (intense emotion) would be incredibly valuable to many of us.
Thank you! Love your work as always. Xx
I'm trying to fix my mindset now. I'm always thinking I cant do something. When really I know I can. Thanks again for posting.😀
I had all of these around this time last year, I have no idea how I got out of it, all I can say is - nothing lasts forever - and things will get better if you take the time and proper steps to heal yourself. We're all human and we all have times like this - it doesn't make you more or less of anything - and I, unfortunately, had to learn that the hard way. I felt like I was losing time with how many hours I spent in that lethargic state - although time is of the essence... said time doesn't matter if you aren't taking time for your mental health. I'm still battling with this sometimes so idk what else to say lol. Always take your mental health seriously - and only take advice from people who know what they're talking about.
Yess nothing lasts forever you have to keep going....and going there is always a light at the end of a tunnel. I'm glad you got out of whatever you were going through its a process of healing it will take time and episodes of coming back again but at the you will be glad you did not have up and you made it through it all:)
almost everything here just makes me realise i need to get better mentally.
thank you Psych2Go great videos
keep posting we'll keep watching
2:10 even if I accomplished something no one noticed it can be super demotivating that no one is going to appreciate I have achieved something they said it's small go for bigger than that ... I can feel the rage in me boiling what's worst someone did the same thing as me but they acknowledge that and gave them a reward is their nothing more infuriating than that .... Felt like I more like a rag doll in front of everyone no matter what I do what I do is completely nothing...
It can be incredibly disheartening to work hard on something, only to have it go unnoticed or be dismissed as insignificant. However, it's important to remember that our self-worth and value as individuals should not be determined by external validation or recognition. Instead, focus on the internal sense of accomplishment and pride that comes from setting and achieving your own goals.
Think of it this way, the journey to achieve a goal is like planting a seed, The seed itself may be small, but it has the potential to grow into a mighty tree that provides shade, beauty and fruit. The work you put into it is what makes it meaningful and valuable, not only to yourself but to others.
Additionally, remember that everyone's path is different, and others' accomplishments should not be a source of comparison or envy. What may come easily to one person may be a monumental challenge for another.
Lastly, consider seeking out opportunities for growth and development, both in terms of your skills and in terms of the types of projects you undertake. As you continue to set and achieve goals, you will gain the confidence and recognition that comes from consistently delivering results.
It's understandable that feelings of rage and disappointment may arise when we perceive that our efforts have gone unrecognized, particularly in comparison to others. However, it's important to acknowledge and process these emotions, rather than allowing them to simmer and fester. One way to do this might be to reflect on the specific reasons why this situation is particularly frustrating or anger-inducing for you. Once you have a clearer understanding of the underlying emotions, you can then work on reframing them in a more constructive way.
Additionally, it can be helpful to remind yourself that everyone has their own unique strengths and weaknesses, and that your own abilities and contributions are just as valuable and important as anyone else's. Try to focus on the positive aspects of your own efforts and accomplishments, and take time to celebrate your own small wins.
Also, don't forget to build a positive relationship with yourself, your own feelings, and acknowledge them without judgment. Recognize when you're feeling demotivated and understand that it's normal and it's ok, that feeling should not prevent you from moving forward, it's a passing feeling.
Lastly, don't let the lack of recognition or validation stop you from pursuing your passions and achieving your goals. Remember that true satisfaction and fulfillment come from within, and that your own personal sense of accomplishment is far more valuable than any external validation or reward. So keep pushing forward and let your passions and ambition guide you on your journey to success. 🙂
Great Video really appreciate your work and your art style
This is amazing!Luv your vids❤
I needed this thank you...
Why are all these depression videos so relatable 🥲
Life is not a race... It's a process, you shouldn't have to blow through you're feelings, but try to understand them, the better we get to know our true selves, the better we get to grasp of the reality of who we really are, don't let nobody tell you that you can't because you can... It maybe rough to get out of bed sometimes, but trust me I know... But doesn't mean you're worthless or lazy... It just means that you're seeing a different side of you that you didn't know existed, when you wake up, I want you to tell yourself that you're important and you can do anything that you put your mind to and ignore all the negative thoughts and words because they are not worthy of your time and energy, love yourself because you deserve to!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰😘😘🤗🤗🤗
I really need a watch this channel more. This video was like perfect timing man
I have clear directions on where to go to improve, the work is on the relative easy side, but time-consuming, all in all, I can clearly state that my motivation, or what I like to call it, my "will to be productive", is dying, or feels already dead, when in school, I can do the work straightforwardly because it feels like a job, so I do it, but once I get home, any homework or any unfinished work feels like an impassable task, so I just shrug it off and relax and have a "lazy day", and these days are getting more and more, and my lack of motivation is just making itself more and more apparent, I was a A+ student before I lost the drive to work and be academic, and only recently have I realized that for my entire life outside of being a kid who doesn't need to think about their future, I showed a lack to want to improve, learn, or obtain a skill to better my life, learn to ride a bike so I can go to school on my own, nope, no will to put in the work and my sister needs to go with me so that's out, I want to learn a certain subject for my future and I already own a book on the subject, but can't find the will to read it despite my love for reading, and only recently I found my 'love' for reading has only grown quiet and I can't even remember the last time I picked up a book and enjoyed it... I was on the road for a scholarship and my dream for college or heck, even a university, but now, it has only become a fear of not being "enough" anymore for that dream... I honestly can't think of the direct reason for my "lack of a will to be productive", I mean, I know depression has some hand in it, but I have no idea what the exact reason is, lost the love to work? Because you have nothing besides your work? Because your not even sure if the subject you want to learn is the subject for you?
Have a wonderful life for whoever you are that decided to read this, thank you for your time, and remember, you don't have to be productive all your life, but it's good to do be productive every once in a while.
I needed this vid a lot 😃-
A wise man once said:
"SHOW ME YOUR MOTIVATION!"
When I loose motivation I fall back on discipline. If it needs to get done or I know I want to get it done I’ll get it done and feel motivated to continue working once I make good progress.
Yeah that's a great way to always feel motivated. Always strive to do your best:)
"I have studiously tried to avoid ever using the word 'madness' to describe my condition. Now and again, the word slips out, but I hate it. 'Madness' is too glamorous a term to convey what happens to most people who are losing their minds. That word is too exciting, too literary, too interesting in its connotations, to convey the boredom, the slowness, the dreariness, the dampness of depression.” - Elizabeth Wurtzel (1967-2020) author of "Prozac Nation: Young and Depressed In America"
First comment also tysm for the great constant content of rlly helps
Well, The knowledge that technically I can end it at any time brings me great relief.
"And I can take or leave it if I please"
Almost two years ago something happened and then I was completely broken down and shattered.I mean it was like all alone in a dark trench..I had no clue about the day,date and time.Neither I had appetite for food nor any interest in socialization.
It was as if I was just breathing.I would sit with my laptop and couldn't even type a page in an hour or more.Would just sit and gaze at the screen thinking of the old things.My productivity and efficiency had tremendously decreased, almost to zero.
Then came depression, anxiety, nervousness,unrest,lack of sleep etc etc..My condition started getting worst.
With no one around me I started searching for help online.I came across those activities which would help me to cope up.I joined violin and guitar classes as hobby.Then started swimming classes.I started listening to motivational videos and also subscribed self help e-books.I would listen to them and then grasp the message and moral it conveyed.Later I became such an avid reader that whenever I used to visit any one's house or a cafe shop I would borrow books if they had of my genera.In my leisure time I would read in my workplace too.By then I had also started writing in Your quote platform.Wrote about 200+ poems and short quotes within a span of a few months.Following this I also started writing blogs.Though an armature but I liked my blogs.I mean I could pen down my thoughts, feelings and emotions.
In between this when I started having panic attacks I went myself to the Psychiatric Centre for help.Luckily it's the best Psychiatric Centre of India and to add to the toping I am lucky enough to be treated by a best Assistant Professor.No sooner did I started for counselling I joined Gym and rifle shooting as a pastime.After rigorous effort and sweating I am able to overcome all the adversaties in life.
Though it was very difficult at first but it is said that well begun is half done.
Today when I look back I see pain,hurt, sufferings,heartache, treachery etc...etc.. but when I look at myself in the mirror I see positivity, optimistic,empathetic,well built muscular hunk to whom people flock to.
I am glad that I am able to make it.People who know me pat my shoulder and proudly say that you are a Braveheart and get inspired from my success.
I'm pretty sure I'm not under the pressure of depression, but because of these videos I'm trying to find the threat of such a mindset and start working early to combat the possible issues
That's an admirable job you're doing!
It's always best to stop problems before they seem to get serious, so good job!
Hope you have a lovely day :)
a pill isnt going to change your problems. change your toothpaste, learn a stretching routine, make your bed it doesnt have to be perfect. get a chair and sit infront of the window with the sun in your face. learn what nutrition the body needs(water/fat soluble vitamins, amino acids, protein, fiber).
I've never been so early for one of these videos, especially about something I've been wondering about myself for over a month now. The only thing keeping me out of the complete blue is playing music and certain very few friends that I don't get to be with as much as I'd like to.
Diminishing accomplishments: I received a price for the best grade in my year and I wasn't making much of a deal about it because despite being successful at school, it seemed to me that I wasn't being successful at being happy. My New Year resolution is to get help.
My su!cidal ness makes me more motivated! It allows me to know i can do what ever, with death to fall back on!
It’s the reason that I only had two people say happy birthday. It’s the reason that everything feels fake. It’s the reason how I can see myself and I don’t have anything lovable. It’s the reason that my last friend is pulling away. It’s the reason that I’m only 13
Guys don't worry it WILL get better
Thats what they all say
Thank you
Thank you, I needed this
@@Sky_Dragon_OwO See thats the problem
@@Sky_Dragon_OwO if you don't think it can get better (further depressing yourself) it won't !
This channel does help a lot when learning about myself and what I'm going through
I lose motivation all the time. Feel like I’m doing crap in life. 💙
DUDE I RELATE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE AND I KEEP SAYING THAT IM NOT DEPRESSED BUT DAMN 😭
Thank you🙏
I really need this video because my mood much lowered after good 2022.
It is very unique and important video to start the New Year!
I badly needed this video. I feel all of the mentioned things. Thanks a lot!
Aside from the helpful content, I got to say the art for this episode is awesome!
I definitely relate to this especially #4 😭 It’s gotten easier to cope with but I still struggle
Lately I just feeling like laying on my bed all day, not talking to anyone, ignoring texts, not going outside. And its been a month since I last eat a proper meals everyday....I always have the *****dal thought with me everytime I made some mistakes or when anything doesn't go well. I think its bcuz I lack of interaction with people in real life too.. my roommates isn't here since last month too, and I am not ibteractive with other people too. Haha I tend to show that I am okay, I am happy and nothing happens. No one actually know how I feel. Haha
I didn't think I was depressed until I watched this video
What a nice way to begin the year 😂🤣
I was depressed.. until i read your comment 😆
Thx for the video. This helped alot
I can definitely attest to the fact that when I do many things in life I find almost every thing bland. If I'm playing video games especially, I wanna play the game at its hardest difficulty which funny enough I was thinking to myself the other day how that is extreme behavior - all or nothing. I don't believe depression works exactly how a psychologist would describe it and that those of us with severe depression require drugs to function but depression definitely can result in extreme behavior and that's most likely due to feeling numb a lot of time and extreme behavior can make you feel good. Something I know I struggle deeply with in life is that everything is temporary, absolutely nothing is permanent. Whether it's eating, sleeping, playing a game, listening to music, watching a movie, talking to someone, doing work and getting paid for it. Everything is temporary. 🙄🤕
Thanks for the work you do Psych2Go and giving people a platform to connect with.🥺😁
I've only realized now that I have no motivation for anything, lack of interest and self esteem. That I think I'm a failure and I'm losing interest in the job that I wanted to do so badly. I can't think of a time when I was motivated and knew I had it in me for school. Now... Well I feel like a wreck, a failure. Even though I have a lot of friends that are always there for me, lovely parents who support me and the best boyfriend I could have asked for. I don't understand why I feel this way and it feels like there is no reason for it. But feeling this way was so normal for me that I thought it was part of my character. I thought I'm just extremely lazy. Now I think I should check in with a doctor.
Yeah that’s why It peeves me off when people say “Oh you’ve got everything going for you, why are you depressed?” But it’s got nothing to do with what’s happening around me, it’s more profound than that. You can be rich and live the life but have depression.
I have depression and anxiety. I feel unmotivated
“The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary.” -Vidal Sassoon
4 out of 5 of these things automatically check the box for me, and this has been an on and off process for me since the start of January... sometimes, it feels like I don't know what's best for me in terms of rest or self care, and unwittingly, I tried to push away my close girlfriend this past weekend because of how I felt mentally and physically. She knows I have depression, but the way it looks and feels to me is different from how it affects her. Sometimes, I don't understand why having depression makes living so difficult 😪😖
Hey Psych2Go team,
I dont have a lack of motivation but i dont know how to use my motivation since i slowly recoverd from my depression over the last year and still learn how to socialize again. Could you make a a video about finding a way to use your motivation when u dont know how?
First ask yourself what are you really motivated on??
I absolutely love school. But recently, the fire and desire I had for it diminished.
I have been super depressed lately. I finally took a shower and it felt really good. Maybe later I'll try getting groceries.
Thanks, needed it I think
Ah yes I do indeed like being perfectly called out by the literal start of a video.
That bed/window layout is a perfect copy of where my bed is, and they're hugging a pillow. Which I also do.
Thanks.
I love your videos so much!
I need to journal 😢
I have a strange build and soemtimes i get sad. I didnt have enough time to do what i wanted and just cried.
Depression is a small word with great agony.
Everything on this list.. it's really hard to just enjoy life at all.. pray for me..
my videos are shit but I used to love editing them, now it's more of a chore for some reason, plus I notice that they hardly get any attention (not that internet fame was ever my goal, but still). it used to be my one outlet along playing the bass, but I find I'm enjoying both less and less. damn, everything in this video applies to me.
Though I relate to many of these videos, I'll never admit my feelings or discuss them with anyone 😅
Self-distancing- yes, I do that all the time. I can't understand why friends say "It's more fun when you're here".That just makes no sense to me. When I write it out, I can see what they are saying, but I just can't belive it. My family is happy that I live over a thousand miles away. And yet this group of people, who barely know me, think I am wonderful. I think they are deluded. I'm severely depressed and yet they think I'm fun? Weird.
They might find something positive in you that makes them happy. Sometimes people are exhausting find time for yourself and make time to do things that you love doing:)❤️
Psychedelic's definitely have potential to deal with mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression , I would like to try them again but it's just so hard to source out here.
pls upload more about Body Dysmorphia.
honestly, idk, ive been so unmotivated i cant even get outta bed, honestly i dont relate to any of these things, yet ive been so depressed i cant even get out of bed, and im contantly having negative thoughts..
My life has been filled with choices between life and death. For me, death has been the only option.
Don't bro
Man I’ve got all of these signs
I self distance myself bc i think im annoying people or that i dont really matter to them
Motivation.........what does that word mean again? I...can't seem to remember. But I know that it's important, and that I need it.
It feels illegal being this early in a phych2go video-
Going thru rn
Whenever I feel like going for a walk my mum questions me and it kills the mood a bit and I just go back to my room, I do understand that she has a list of mental health issues and that herself. When I want to do something outside the home as simple as a walk in the local woodland she always says no and it makes me feel isolated, I know I have autism but I am aware of my surroundings most of the time and it makes me stick the phone all day but I do try something productive but I don't get much feeling from it.
What timing. I literally feel like this right now 😅
Yes.
Well I've been experiencing all of them
Oh right... so everything
Early, first time
For real :(
Yes in fact I was crying last night
Anyone else here to know the reasons knowing dam well they already do and are depressed and unmotivated?
Well i do self distancing.. I am 24 and still not able to find a job.. It makes me insecure.. So i dont attend family functions and frnds get together so that i can avoid "what you do ??" qustn.. It's sooooo depressgg... 😑😑
Hey girl i can relate with you, i hate when people at family functions asks me what are you doing now and it makes me so insecure. But we'll make sure you surround yourself with people who does not judge you there will people who are as same as you so don't just distance or be alone try to find people like you:)❤️

Thank You all at Psych2Go. I would hope that this is helpful to those like me that are at a severe bend in the road. I have a large lack of trust in the medical practices. Drugs a so numbing that I feel like a numb zombie. One of my motivation's is to override the negative motivator's and try to push on through. The apprehension's are a little tough, and I try to realize that the negative is not my ally . Although it is still extremely difficult to convince myself that I have responsibilities and do the best I can. This might be totally off the wall, except that the possibility it might help someone.
Yesss this channel is best. Hope you have an amazing year ahead:)❤️
I cannot seem to figure out why i'm constantly tired, my body feels heavy, I have no motivations, I dread hanging out with others, and I can't sleep without melatonin. Is this depression or am I burnt out emotionally?
Can anyone refer some links or techniques for people who identify with any of these points brought up? Having things I can do and work on in my own timecan help me get out of this? Watching this made me realize how I been slowly slipping more towards all of these points listed. It's time for me (and everyone else identifying with this) to fight back and reclaim our depression. Thank you all in advance familia
Thought i was doing okay but these past few days I've been isolating myself again and since I go back to college next week I just want to be gone
Everything is wrong with me
I'm not sure if I'll make it another year with what I have to deal with
My body is weaker and breathing is becoming harder to do and a house full of covid all Christmas. Sleep is barely know to me and I fear for my life in my own home.
My skills of making things can't improve when I can't get the materials to build new ships and figures.
If I don't respond in two months then I'm probably dead or have no access to a device
Things WILL get better, I promise.
