      Gym doesn't work for EVERYONE. Other people require other needs.
      Like i said, everyone is different, you can't treat everyone the same.

    Can't lie the dad is actually spot on with this one. Mental health (depression specifically) is often tied to physical health and activity. Once you get out of there and start moving, it tends to get a lot better. When you don't have a job and aren't active, it negatively affects your mental health as well. The issue is that it's hard to get moving in the first place and when you're depressed you end up wallowing in your own misery. Speaking from personal experience btw, honestly once you take that first step forward things get a lot easier. Just sitting around only makes it worse.

    The last part about fruits gym and god reminded me about a comment whoich reminded them about an article ("Exporting Trauma: Can the talking cure do more harm than good?" from the guardian) where a tribe in Africa ended up asking a group of care workers, who had been assigned to help them deal with the trauma of genocide, to leave. When asked why, the tribal representatives said that it was harmful to seclude a person suffering from bad feelings and memories in a darkened room and ask them to relive their trauma. The tribe, they said, dealt with these feelings by drumming, dancing and singing in the sunshine to defeat them together and drive them into the past where they belonged. That way, they said, the person who suffered was given support, and embraced by the whole community.
    not bashing therapy but usually, the main things we need to change is daily habits and outlook on life (which can be much more easily done with a community supporting you). anit-deppressents can only go so far

    im going to tell you this right now Dylan. You and Chelsea brought me through quarantine. The laughs I’d get from your videos were so crazy my abs would start burning as me and my brother would die on the floor watching your videos (your mom just has to pay a $400 admin fee 😂😂). Your videos made my life so much easier during quarantine and just kept me trudging along such a hard time. Although I have been very busy and haven’t had much chance to watch your recent videos since quarantine ended, I wanted to tell you your positivity and joy showed me there’s always light in tough situations. That helped me get through high school were I have been able to graduate at a high class rank while getting an opportunity to play football in college as well. I could not have done so if I didn’t have something I could look forward to bringing me out of quarantine. One day when I make it, I got something for you man… just remember me. You’ve made a real impact Dylan.

God, prayer and meditation takes you to another level of wellness, balancing your body, spirit and soul. All can be taken care of by following what this parent has advised but most of us won’t know until we are dead, what a shame.
