Depression to Expression "All Life is an experiment". I listen to a lot of songs to feel good and positive. Sometimes, I get too stressed out and depressed for no reason. I just don't know why I feel this way sometimes. Everytime I feel stressed out, I try to distract myself by reading novels, cooking, playing games and listening to songs.
There are many tools out there. One I have used almost daily is dynamic meditation. Ashford Thomas on you tube does a brief 15 minutes intro. Of course Elliot Hulse uses it too.
Great video content! Excuse me for chiming in, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you tried - Lammywalness Erase Depression Guide (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a great one of a kind product for beating depression fast without the hard work. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my GF after a lifetime of fighting got cool success with it.
your eyes are getting better , I think the eyes show whether some one is suffering mentally most of the time , the eyes are seriously connected to the brain.
see here's the thing and i know some people can relate to this, ive been there where i got help. Had a doctor and a therapist and saw them as often as possible and they never helped. They did help for a short time but then the meds wore off or my therapist didnt have anymore to say to me that would make me feel better (maybe she just wasnt a good therapist idk) but it just never worked. But then i started dabbling into alternative healing and not relying on others to make me feel better and thats when i had more confidence in being able to deal with depression. (i have bipolar disorder II btw) I use light therapy, i dont take meds, i meditate, candles relax me and literally take away all my anxiety, they literally work wonders. I listen to ASMR, i eat healthy and thats just a few lifestyle changes i made. Yea i still struggle but im a lot better than i was when i was relying on pills. This is just for people who dont experience any relief or progress from outside help.
I have a friend who suffers from major depression disorder, he's been getting help with therapists all along, it's helped ofc, but he's far from being mentally healthy, he deals with this everyday and I swear it hurts so much to see someone you care about putting a lot of effort to get better but can't do it, pills and medication are part of his daily basis, but I can see how tired he is, your comment has really helped me, I just want to see my friend having the life he always wanted :)
Hey Scott today I'm actually taking a risk today for once. I'm going to challenge my anxiety today by going to the movies theater by myself. Which is really scaring but I really want to enjoy myself today and I have to push myself to do this. -love GBS
+Depression to Expression you'll be pleased to know that I did. When I was getting a ride there there was this thought in my brain that this was a bad idea. That I should turn back. But I didn't and I really did enjoy myself
Awesome!!! Been there... it is scary but turns out to be relieving and quite an enjoyable experience. As a woman it was especially hard, but that also made me feel even more secure and empowered afterwards, I actually have done it more than once (I still prefer the company though).
Excellent video Scott! I think one of the major reasons why people are afraid to try new avenues to healing is the fear of it not working, but the more you "fail", the closer you are to finding the thing that will work for you.
12 years ago my CBT therapist rescued me from the dark pit which I had fallen into. I was incapacitated and almost catatonic. It wasn't always easy facing some of the issues but it stopped them having any hold on me. I am now equipped with skills that support me every day of my life. I can once again walk in the sunshine. Take that step, speak to someone.
I was afraid you were going to say 'just go and travel the world, meet new people, go sky diving, go backpacking, get a job' etc. But the risk taking you are talking about does make sense. Going to a therapist, opening up about what is going inside our brains, especially to a therapist (who, let's face it, has seen it all and is trained to handle all kinds of patients) - yes, that is a risk we deep sufferers must take, for ourselves, first step to self love.
I take risks, I do everything to beat this :) I heard a story about a guy who exercised, ate healthily, meditate, etc and still felt depressed as hell. He tried antidepressants and they did not help either. Finally, the 8th antidepressant helped him and he got his life back. He took a huge risk trying these pills but it's worth it. Chemical imbalance? Dude, I really don't know now. Ordered the book Lost Connections, it is on its way. Thanks for the video Scott!
I love your videos! It’s so helpful to get advice, I was recently diagnosed with general anxiety, PTSD and MDD. I stopped all my medication 3 weeks ago and I’m working hard at it everyday to positive self talk and listen to speakers and meditation! I just want to thank you for all you do! Beautiful smile by the way!
U know with some people u just feel very nice just by hearing them..because they have a beautiful soul..u r surely one of them...i did not even think for a sec before subscribing to your channel...i felt really nice hearing u...i m suffering through depression and i cant take help from any dr for some reasons but i really felt nice and thank u for some tips to overcomr that ..thanks ..lots of love
I think I needed to hear this. I've been avoiding therapy and avoiding just facing it for quite some time now, and the only result I got from it is just that I'm getting worse every single day. I relapsed in self-harm and the anxiety is overwhelming, I either binge everyday or starve myself, I cry and stay in bed all day or fake a smile and break down in the evening once I'm alone in my room, I fail my studies and lost any sort of self-esteem, self-confidence or whatsoever... I've been considering therapy these past two days, and i've been avoiding it just by pure fear and terror of opening up, cause it doesn't only mean talking to someone, it means admitting everything to myself... I don't know how long I can stay on my own with my thoughts, with the anxiety, with the tears and the urges. I know I need help, the question is, how do I take the leap? It seems hopeless yet I want to get help cause I can't handle it really any longer.
Ophélie Duprat Is not hopeless... is a risk that is worth it, worth your well-being, worth your life. I have being there... Being there, done that. I went to a psychiatrist, he prescribed me first alprazolam, but my body tend to not react normally to substances... a lot of allergies... so even I had a little paradoxical reaction (I was more energetic, not calmer) the doctor took over, change the medication to escitalopram and bit by bit I start to improve, life changing... (I put the names of the medications as an example, there are many options, and is the job of a professional see what is best for you and your particular case, according your progress and needs, these are substances of delicate use, but very helpful if is done properly). I also try different therapist to talk, some help me a lot, others not so much, but is part of my healing process and I'm very grateful with most of them. Has been years since I don't need medication anymore, but I recently returned to talk therapy because really works for me. I'm not saying I'm perfectly happy all day long (Who is it, anyway, right?) but I'm pretty satisfied with the improvement. Hope you find the best options for you, and if something doesn't work, don't worry, there's are many ways to heal and feel better. 🙂
D.Z.C. thanks that's really nice. It's hard to make the first step. I tried before but I just ended up not going to the appointments with the therapist anymore..it didn't suit me and it just increased the fear of seeking help. But I'm gonna try again cause I definitely can't stay in this negative state of mind, it's not me, I don't recognize myself anymore. I want to meet myself again and start living you know. Yeah... it's hard but worth it I guess, idk..
try writing down what you need to say and is bothering you. it needs to get out of your system whether through vocal communication or written. and then bring the journal with you to the therapy session. your therapist's job is to look through it and she/he will ask questions...that's also their job so do not worry about needing to talk alot. that is NOT your job. your job is to be honest though
I want to call the therapist my doctor recommended but phone calls freak me out and that one seems to be even more scary. I can do it. I often make a fool of my self on the phone but WHATEVER. That's been my favourite word lately lol helps me keep going when you know, life happens. Thanks a lot for your videos, I can't really describe how it impacts me but I certainly feel I am not alone. Cheers. Take care, Scott.
I just subscribed. Your videos are such a huge help. I've had one the longest and worst bouts in a while, and can't seem to get out of it. I know it's dumb, but I can't open up to anyone. I'm 26 now, and after hiding it for 14 years, I kinda feel trapped. Your videos help me see the light and get through another day. I can't thank you enough.
I've finally opened up about my over thinking/anxiety and some depression. I started lexapro about 3 month's ago, felt great on it, but got paranoid about taking it after watching you tube videos. Recently got back on lexapro and was thinking about stopping it again d/t the neigh sayers. Thanks for your videos, it's made me feel better and plan to stay on the lexapro for now.
the sad thing is, i tried opening up, over and over, again and again, but it only got worse i never received enough help from my friends, they didn’t bother if i were to end myself and i can’t afford to talk to a therapist either now i’m left with the reality that i’m both alone and known as “weak”
One of the best advice. Love your video as always. I remembered my first session with my psychologist. I felt weird to try to explain the mess in my head. Little I know how he did it, but my psychologist deconstructed my messy thoughts. Now I am looking forward to my next session. I learn to be a better me. It's all worthed.
One thing that helps me is. I tell myself to do exactly the opposite of what my brain thinks. lol It helps. I find for me, that my form of spirituality is amazingly helpful. I can't explain how, but it really helps. To the point of having been almost 95% better. Where depression and anxiety barely bothered me. But then as I got better, got a really descent job. Started dating again, and I kind of slowly let myself fall back into old thinking. Which eventually brought me back to hell. But I'm climbing out again now. Great channel! Loved your message, and I believe it is soooo true. You got a new sub!
K, It is essential to have a job when fighting depression. We have to have Something to force us to get up and out, the alternative is staying in bed wallowing in despair. A job working with the public is even better.
Very True, I have recently started getting Skype sessions with a psychologist {he isn't as scary as I thought he would be}, things def can't change unless you change them. Great video Scott :-)
Hey Scott. I know I'm a little late to this but I've been struggling with anxiety and depression ever since I got home from the army. I got a new job and I struggle interacting with people and don't want to seem off. Im constantly afraid of failing or messing up. And I keep overthinking I also keep living with regret I try so hard to let the past go but I keep struggling. I just don't know what to do and I didn't know who to reach out too that's about it. Anyways hopefully everyone is getting better and thank you Scott for this video.
I'm going through this bro and the only thing that keeps me motivated is your face and my dream now is making a channel here in morocco about mental illness because they really need it
Que palabras más hermosas, me ha encantado este vídeo; gracias Scott y gracias a la persona que tradujo esto, de otra manera nunca lo hubiera visto esto. Scott, fue increíble y realmente profundo, tu contenido es de ese que realmente vale la pena, gracias por continuar aquí ♥.
This past few months I have actually reached out for help, which is one of the weirdest and toughest things ive had push myself to do. Took me years to reach out for help on my own. I have had positive and negative outcomes. I have been seeing a therapists and it's been helpful at times. But yesterday I was triggered in a session and had an episode. She just said the wrong things and now I don't even want to go back. Wondering if I should see a different one or just stop going because there are times I just don't see the point for myself.
I used to use medication for depression and anxiety. I used to see a therapist every Thursday of the week. Therapy never seemed to work. The medication work for a while. I have found out that when I challenge myself against my depression/anxiety is when I really do start to feel better even if its for a moment. The problem is I don't take those risks so much as I should.
I can totally relate to your experience. What I found useful was having an accountability partner - just someone to check up on me regularly to see if I'd been doing the the things that made me feel better and give me a kick in the backside when I started slipping. It made all the difference!
Verna, I have been feeling the same way lately. I’m feeling very weird and mentally ill. No energy to even shave my face or have clean clothes to wear. But It took me 3 weeks to finally make an appointment with a counsler because I was too depressed to even call. It gave me a lot of anxiety. Just do the best you can do each day. Little tiny baby steps. It’s not easy for people like us. One little step. That’s what has been helping me so far... Depression is so complicated and draining. Push yourself outside of your comfort zone, but not too much. Yes, try to take very small steps. Wish I could give more and better advice, but I hope just trying a teeny tiny amount each day no matter what it is. Hang in there please
You are bang on my friend... nicely said... also if you can do something for others like maybe passing a smile or try to help them etc. it will come back!
Deep down I think you do want to get better, you just don’t know how, but you’re here watching Scott, great start!! Depression and anxiety are exhausting, don’t beat yourself up, try to #StayStrong... we fight and we rest, but we cannot give up ✨
Verna Gingerich Verna.. you and me Should be talking.. a drunk driver tore my entire left leg off ..i just spent a yr in hospital.. however leg just came off 4 months-ago and I just got home 4-5 wks ago.. got a feeling we could really help each other.. I'm one hr North of Toronto

Hi Scott, I'm from Brazil, I'm translating some of your videos, those ones which have english subtitles already are easier, takes less time, but anyway, I'm gonna try to translate to portuguese as much as I can because I think you do a pretty great work and I think you can help people all over the world. Thanks a lot see you!
Depression and Anxiety come with the reason you can’t just take a pill and pretend nothin wrong ! Always need look at reason and try to understand differently if you can’t change situation , if you can just do it !
I'm balling my eyeballs right out... A drunk driver tore my left leg off in a hit and run accident.. I had just got off my Harley THANKKKK GAWDDD and hopped into my Dodge Ram ( reason I'm still here to type) I use to be the up most confident woman EVER..now I am severely depressed.. I will miss Riding thats the damn Truth.. however I also know my leg wont grow back. I just got my prosthetic.. however it hurts so SOOO bad that I cannot wear it. And once it finally fits again . it'll take a good yr just to learn to use it. I am SEVERLYYYY depressed.... but won't confide in anybody at all..bcuz losing my leg was just my minor injuries... And bcuz broke my skull in 3 places and severe 9 day Brain bleed which luckily didn't change me in the least... however û Kno what Drs are like... They would blame everything on my front lobel bleed (I was originally Home in just 13 day's originally.. I made an incredible recovery!!! But then went back for a year; Anyway that's all besides the point..point is I'm depressed as hell!!! I don't know what to do. .. I'm thinking it's all depressed ppl here right now! So I'm not sure if there's anyone here who can help me or not . But if there is someone.. PLS say something to me bcuz I could really use ANY help I can get my hands on
My dad is seriously unwell. I don't have anybody to talk to. Friends are giving exams with me so I can't disturb them. Mom is also depressed. I just wanted to let out my desperation, since it's past midnight and he is coughing so hard. Please pray for him. My finals are due and I am losing hope here. How do I keep faith?
What if you don’t have the money to get therapy? I’ve been depressed for months now and I can’t find a way out. I’ve always suffered from depression but this wave has really taken a toll on me more than ever before. I’m 17 I live on my own and I have no one to talk to that can help me. I’ve tried to but nothing ever helps and I can’t get out from under it. I sleep all the time when I’m supposed to be doing school and the only other thing I do is work. I just don’t see any point in life anymore but I can’t give up. I just feel like my life has no value anymore
Or I can just look at your beautiful eyes and feel better already! Seriously though, your manner is kind and it has helped to listen to your videos. Thank you! \
What will you recommend to a person that has all the symptoms of depression, but doesn't accept that this is what it is. If he doesn't think it's depression he will never get help. How did you realized that what you had was depression?
I deal with mild depression for now for a few years. Part of it is I’m 50 and still single. Never been married, no wife no girlfriend and no kids. I’ve been thin my whole life, can’t gain weight. I’m no females type. I’ve had two girlfriends in the past, but they went out with me out of pity, plus they were sluts. I don’t watch tv, or listen to the music I used to listen to, which is hair bands. They are all depressing. Now I stay home and help take care of my elderly mom. No life. Broke. I live with chronic pain, so I’m on disability pay. I live at home.
@@brutallyhonestsportspodcast I try to keep myself busy. Still have chronic pain. Only music I listen is classical music. I'm in a state where marijuana is legal, so have pot infused gummy when I need it. It does help. Helps me to concentrate to keep busy. I don't smoke it, because I have COPD. Plus I read the Bible more and it helps. Thanks for asking.
My sister suffers from depression. And I just don’t get it!! She has absolutely no reason to. We have great parents, she has great friends who care about her, she goes to the best private school, she gets top grades and we always support her and show her love and respect and we have never pressured her for anything!! However, I have a possible explanation for this. Her best friend is depressed too, but in contrast to my sister she actually has a lot of problems going on. And she has been jealous of my sister her whole life. Me and my mum believe that its her best friend who transmits the depression to my sister and unfortunately she does it subconsciously, without my sister noticing it. We really think it would be for the best to stop hanging with her but its impossible to to get her to even think about it!! I get the fact that she trusts her a lot but she is being blind right now about it. Fortunately its not severe yet, but it will become if we don’t act now!! She is going to start therapy in a while and we are hoping that its gonna do some good. I’m not certain whether her friend is the sole reason but its definitely playing a big role. I just wanna see my sister the happy girl she once was.....
hi, your channel has really helped me. how do you stop setbacks from making you relapse though? at the moment, i feel like i deal with alot of social anxiety and i know it's trial and error but if i end up "failing"...it makes me more anxious/depressed...
Nyx 1321 that’s the thing... relapsing is not failing. I felt the same way, but once I understood that it is part of the process I stopped beating myself up and actually started to get better.
Salvia Divinorum. It’s a powerful psychedelic, one of the strongest in the world, and you could smoke an extract by ordering online. When I smoked it, my mind ended up being clearer than it ever had been before. Just do research on it and make sure you have a good trip. Google how. Cause a bad trip could make things worse. But the risk is worth it.
Look to I did talk about it but if may me fell worst i hope soon that I can find way to talk about how I fell that's frighting to I fear that it will not help sorry that I fell that way .
Im only 12 and my weight is 200 because of my thyroid disease and it makes me gain weight because of my weight I felt depressed and never wanted to talk I keep trying to lose it but my mom doesn't understand that I need to lose weight and she won't help me 😔
Let's be scientists together!
YAYYY

Hey Scott today I'm actually taking a risk today for once. I'm going to challenge my anxiety today by going to the movies theater by myself. Which is really scaring but I really want to enjoy myself today and I have to push myself to do this. -love GBS
did you do it!!??
just do it !!
+Depression to Expression you'll be pleased to know that I did. When I was getting a ride there there was this thought in my brain that this was a bad idea. That I should turn back. But I didn't and I really did enjoy myself
+Depression to Expression I saw love Simon and it was amazing
Awesome!!! Been there... it is scary but turns out to be relieving and quite an enjoyable experience. As a woman it was especially hard, but that also made me feel even more secure and empowered afterwards, I actually have done it more than once (I still prefer the company though).
Thank you Scott! Not only are you informative but you are also humorous. Appreciate you💯
Hey Scott. Listening to your voice on daily basis to uplift my mood. Thanks for that.
Excellent video Scott! I think one of the major reasons why people are afraid to try new avenues to healing is the fear of it not working, but the more you "fail", the closer you are to finding the thing that will work for you.

‘12 rules for life’ is a good book for motivation. Jordan Peterson is everyone’s second dad.
I was afraid you were going to say 'just go and travel the world, meet new people, go sky diving, go backpacking, get a job' etc. But the risk taking you are talking about does make sense. Going to a therapist, opening up about what is going inside our brains, especially to a therapist (who, let's face it, has seen it all and is trained to handle all kinds of patients) - yes, that is a risk we deep sufferers must take, for ourselves, first step to self love.
Not connected to this subject but that dog in your profile picture is so cute
“It's when you open yourself up that you can finally discover what's inside.“ DAMN Scott that's some deep shit, love that quote :)
I take risks, I do everything to beat this :) I heard a story about a guy who exercised, ate healthily, meditate, etc and still felt depressed as hell. He tried antidepressants and they did not help either. Finally, the 8th antidepressant helped him and he got his life back. He took a huge risk trying these pills but it's worth it.

Is it me or your videos just keep getting better & better!! 💙 Oh my God you are so right, it is hard, but doing nothing is even worse. ✊🏻#staystrong
U know with some people u just feel very nice just by hearing them..because they have a beautiful soul..u r surely one of them...i did not even think for a sec before subscribing to your channel...i felt really nice hearing u...i m suffering through depression and i cant take help from any dr for some reasons but i really felt nice and thank u for some tips to overcomr that ..thanks ..lots of love
I have to honestly say your much better than my therapist social worker. Everything you say I can relate to and is helping me lot more. Thanks Scott!

Ophélie Duprat I understand you completely, is very confusing when you stop to recognise your self 🙁 Take care, girl 🙂
try writing down what you need to say and is bothering you. it needs to get out of your system whether through vocal communication or written. and then bring the journal with you to the therapy session. your therapist's job is to look through it and she/he will ask questions...that's also their job so do not worry about needing to talk alot. that is NOT your job. your job is to be honest though
can i also ask why you stopped going to the therapist?
And I think you are simply more amazing than you realize, in more ways than I can realize.
I want to call the therapist my doctor recommended but phone calls freak me out and that one seems to be even more scary. I can do it. I often make a fool of my self on the phone but WHATEVER.

it's never too late to open up. If you think it would help to tell someone, I would invite you to do so
Depression to Expression Thank you so much, your reply meant a lot. I'm going to try to get enough courage to open up.
It is not dumb!! Opening up is hard, especially when you have been betrayed... it takes time & effort but it is worth it!!
Fernie Zazueta Thanks for saying that.
I've finally opened up about my over thinking/anxiety and some depression. I started lexapro about 3 month's ago, felt great on it, but got paranoid about taking it after watching you tube videos. Recently got back on lexapro and was thinking about stopping it again d/t the neigh sayers. Thanks for your videos, it's made me feel better and plan to stay on the lexapro for now.
Tbh therapy is expensive. A leap that I can’t afford, yet believe I need.
Same !
close friends, pisces friends are good friends
the sad thing is, i tried opening up, over and over, again and again, but it only got worse
i never received enough help from my friends, they didn’t bother if i were to end myself and i can’t afford to talk to a therapist either
now i’m left with the reality that i’m both alone and known as “weak”
One of the best advice. Love your video as always. I remembered my first session with my psychologist. I felt weird to try to explain the mess in my head. Little I know how he did it, but my psychologist deconstructed my messy thoughts. Now I am looking forward to my next session. I learn to be a better me. It's all worthed.
One thing that helps me is. I tell myself to do exactly the opposite of what my brain thinks. lol It helps. I find for me, that my form of spirituality is amazingly helpful. I can't explain how, but it really helps. To the point of having been almost 95% better. Where depression and anxiety barely bothered me.
But then as I got better, got a really descent job. Started dating again, and I kind of slowly let myself fall back into old thinking. Which eventually brought me back to hell. But I'm climbing out again now.
Great channel! Loved your message, and I believe it is soooo true. You got a new sub!
K, It is essential to have a job when fighting depression. We have to have Something to force us to get up and out, the alternative is staying in bed wallowing in despair. A job working with the public is even better.
Very True, I have recently started getting Skype sessions with a psychologist {he isn't as scary as I thought he would be}, things def can't change unless you change them. Great video Scott :-)
Hey Scott. I know I'm a little late to this but I've been struggling with anxiety and depression ever since I got home from the army. I got a new job and I struggle interacting with people and don't want to seem off. Im constantly afraid of failing or messing up. And I keep overthinking I also keep living with regret I try so hard to let the past go but I keep struggling. I just don't know what to do and I didn't know who to reach out too that's about it. Anyways hopefully everyone is getting better and thank you Scott for this video.
Hi Scott, I soooo like your videos. I suffer from depression / anxiety / social worry.
These have helped me greatly. Thanks you
I'm going through this bro and the only thing that keeps me motivated is your face and my dream now is making a channel here in morocco about mental illness because they really need it
Stay strong my friend. You're dream is very possible!
CONDORBAG t9dr dirha ^^ courage j pu m en sortir donc toi aussi
Kaoutar Daoudi aaaaah merci
Que palabras más hermosas, me ha encantado este vídeo; gracias Scott y gracias a la persona que tradujo esto, de otra manera nunca lo hubiera visto esto.
Scott, fue increíble y realmente profundo, tu contenido es de ese que realmente vale la pena, gracias por continuar aquí ♥.
This past few months I have actually reached out for help, which is one of the weirdest and toughest things ive had push myself to do. Took me years to reach out for help on my own. I have had positive and negative outcomes. I have been seeing a therapists and it's been helpful at times. But yesterday I was triggered in a session and had an episode. She just said the wrong things and now I don't even want to go back. Wondering if I should see a different one or just stop going because there are times I just don't see the point for myself.
Scott I love your channel.
I always view when need guidance. Keep it up
I talk to my parents and siblings and friends they all help and accept what I’m going threw
I used to use medication for depression and anxiety. I used to see a therapist every Thursday of the week. Therapy never seemed to work. The medication work for a while. I have found out that when I challenge myself against my depression/anxiety is when I really do start to feel better even if its for a moment. The problem is I don't take those risks so much as I should.
I can totally relate to your experience. What I found useful was having an accountability partner - just someone to check up on me regularly to see if I'd been doing the the things that made me feel better and give me a kick in the backside when I started slipping. It made all the difference!
What if you don't even want to get better anymore? I am too exhausted
Verna, I have been feeling the same way lately. I’m feeling very weird and mentally ill. No energy to even shave my face or have clean clothes to wear. But It took me 3 weeks to finally make an appointment with a counsler because I was too depressed to even call. It gave me a lot of anxiety. Just do the best you can do each day. Little tiny baby steps. It’s not easy for people like us. One little step. That’s what has been helping me so far... Depression is so complicated and draining. Push yourself outside of your comfort zone, but not too much. Yes, try to take very small steps. Wish I could give more and better advice, but I hope just trying a teeny tiny amount each day no matter what it is. Hang in there please
You are bang on my friend... nicely said... also if you can do something for others like maybe passing a smile or try to help them etc. it will come back!
Deep down I think you do want to get better, you just don’t know how, but you’re here watching Scott, great start!! Depression and anxiety are exhausting, don’t beat yourself up, try to #StayStrong... we fight and we rest, but we cannot give up ✨

Great video bro! I also love the quote by Aristotle!!!
im a normal kid, popular, lots of friends, play sports, people like me you know. but i feel like im not my self. i feel veru ugly i have 4 tiny moles on my face. hate not being the best on my teams. bad grades. i always feel like im not good enough. i could be better. my rooms messy. im too lazy. i play alot of videogames. i have alot of friends, but not any close ones besides one. i barely answer snaps. never post on insta. i wish i looked better, and was better at sports, better grades. i just want to make my dad proud, but i cant. wish i had abs, im just skinny. im a funny kid i feel like, everyone laughs at my jokes. i just hate it, everything. hate my hair. hate school. hate my face. hate my room. hate my clothes. and so much more but im getting tired. i dont know how to feel.
Hi Scott, I'm from Brazil, I'm translating some of your videos, those ones which have english subtitles already are easier, takes less time, but anyway, I'm gonna try to translate to portuguese as much as I can because I think you do a pretty great work and I think you can help people all over the world. Thanks a lot see you!
No puedo creerlo hay contenido que realmente sirve a estas alturas en youtube muchas gracias eres luz en verdad Gracias
Thank you.
Depression and Anxiety come with the reason you can’t just take a pill and pretend nothin wrong ! Always need look at reason and try to understand differently if you can’t change situation , if you can just do it !
Love the ralph qoute at the end. Thank u for sharing rly helps man
I have gad dep no friends to meet but it's hard to socialise thanks love ur blogs

I'm balling my eyeballs right out... A drunk driver tore my left leg off in a hit and run accident.. I had just got off my Harley THANKKKK GAWDDD and hopped into my Dodge Ram ( reason I'm still here to type)
I use to be the up most confident woman EVER..now I am severely depressed.. I will miss Riding thats the damn Truth.. however I also know my leg wont grow back.
I just got my prosthetic.. however it hurts so SOOO bad that I cannot wear it. And once it finally fits again . it'll take a good yr just to learn to use it.
I am SEVERLYYYY depressed.... but won't confide in anybody at all..bcuz losing my leg was just my minor injuries... And bcuz broke my skull in 3 places and severe 9 day Brain bleed which luckily didn't change me in the least... however û Kno what Drs are like... They would blame everything on my front lobel bleed (I was originally Home in just 13 day's originally.. I made an incredible recovery!!! But then went back for a year;
Anyway that's all besides the point..point is I'm depressed as hell!!!
I don't know what to do. .. I'm thinking it's all depressed ppl here right now! So I'm not sure if there's anyone here who can help me or not .
But if there is someone.. PLS say something to me bcuz I could really use ANY help I can get my hands on

Don't take a risk for myself now...that's a risk. Go ahead!!!
I have fear going to the store sometimes because I panic but when I’m home I feel very bad anxious :/
This was so helpful thank you
I’ll take that risk now
My dad is seriously unwell. I don't have anybody to talk to. Friends are giving exams with me so I can't disturb them. Mom is also depressed.
I just wanted to let out my desperation, since it's past midnight and he is coughing so hard.
Please pray for him. My finals are due and I am losing hope here.
How do I keep faith?
@Manuela Sherry hi. Fortunately things are better Manuela. Thank you for asking ! Covid has become another challenge but we are together and fighting.
You made me laugh and get over it. Thank you!!!
I like your end to this sentence very much :-)
helpful video my sister is very depressed wanting to understand it and how can i help her thank you
What if I've (I guess so) overcome manic depression but anxiety still kills me?
What if you don’t have the money to get therapy? I’ve been depressed for months now and I can’t find a way out. I’ve always suffered from depression but this wave has really taken a toll on me more than ever before. I’m 17 I live on my own and I have no one to talk to that can help me. I’ve tried to but nothing ever helps and I can’t get out from under it. I sleep all the time when I’m supposed to be doing school and the only other thing I do is work. I just don’t see any point in life anymore but I can’t give up. I just feel like my life has no value anymore
Thanx for this video love u❤
Love it!!❤️❤️❤️
But what do you do if you can’t find the right therapist? 😢
thank you

What will you recommend to a person that has all the symptoms of depression, but doesn't accept that this is what it is. If he doesn't think it's depression he will never get help. How did you realized that what you had was depression?
I deal with mild depression for now for a few years. Part of it is I’m 50 and still single. Never been married, no wife no girlfriend and no kids. I’ve been thin my whole life, can’t gain weight. I’m no females type. I’ve had two girlfriends in the past, but they went out with me out of pity, plus they were sluts. I don’t watch tv, or listen to the music I used to listen to, which is hair bands. They are all depressing. Now I stay home and help take care of my elderly mom. No life. Broke. I live with chronic pain, so I’m on disability pay. I live at home.
Give yourself credit for fighting… any update?
@@brutallyhonestsportspodcast I try to keep myself busy. Still have chronic pain. Only music I listen is classical music. I'm in a state where marijuana is legal, so have pot infused gummy when I need it. It does help. Helps me to concentrate to keep busy. I don't smoke it, because I have COPD. Plus I read the Bible more and it helps. Thanks for asking.
Love your content!!
My sister suffers from depression. And I just don’t get it!! She has absolutely no reason to. We have great parents, she has great friends who care about her, she goes to the best private school, she gets top grades and we always support her and show her love and respect and we have never pressured her for anything!!
However, I have a possible explanation for this. Her best friend is depressed too, but in contrast to my sister she actually has a lot of problems going on. And she has been jealous of my sister her whole life. Me and my mum believe that its her best friend who transmits the depression to my sister and unfortunately she does it subconsciously, without my sister noticing it.
We really think it would be for the best to stop hanging with her but its impossible to to get her to even think about it!! I get the fact that she trusts her a lot but she is being blind right now about it. Fortunately its not severe yet, but it will become if we don’t act now!! She is going to start therapy in a while and we are hoping that its gonna do some good.
I’m not certain whether her friend is the sole reason but its definitely playing a big role. I just wanna see my sister the happy girl she once was.....
it's sad to me how you're invaliding her being depressed just because she has a good life
Loved it x

Depression to Expression You should at least consider visiting haha ;)
Thx
hi, your channel has really helped me. how do you stop setbacks from making you relapse though? at the moment, i feel like i deal with alot of social anxiety and i know it's trial and error but if i end up "failing"...it makes me more anxious/depressed...
Nyx 1321 that’s the thing... relapsing is not failing. I felt the same way, but once I understood that it is part of the process I stopped beating myself up and actually started to get better.
Yup, part of the process. If its not at least a little bit hard you're not healing anything
I took Salvia and it fixed my depression
What is that? How do you take it?
Salvia Divinorum. It’s a powerful psychedelic, one of the strongest in the world, and you could smoke an extract by ordering online. When I smoked it, my mind ended up being clearer than it ever had been before. Just do research on it and make sure you have a good trip. Google how. Cause a bad trip could make things worse. But the risk is worth it.
Look to I did talk about it but if may me fell worst i hope soon that I can find way to talk about how I fell that's frighting to I fear that it will not help sorry that I fell that way .
I have anxyety and pain in my head and back pain
Im only 12 and my weight is 200 because of my thyroid disease and it makes me gain weight because of my weight I felt depressed and never wanted to talk I keep trying to lose it but my mom doesn't understand that I need to lose weight and she won't help me 😔
