Agreed!! When I was depressed, nothing was joyful, but I forced myself to do positive things for myself. And this was sending my brain a message: „look, somebody is taking care of you, you are worthy, you have value“

@pennyjane9906 10 ай бұрын

@@remembertosmile6281 Hi, you have a beautiful name, remember to smile! I focus on diet, exercise, and I challenge my mind by learning new things. I have a personal list of things that I do every day for only 10 minutes. (ofcourse there are days that I can't get it all done, but I always come back to my list). 10 minutes of working out, 10 minutes of learning a language, and so on. I am thinking long term instead of short term, while I reward myself for the healthy things I do with a positive thought. Even if its the tiniest little thing. For instance, I take my vitamin D and I think: "you're doing a good thing, this is going to protect your bones" this is positive thinking in practice. or I work out and I think: "you are now more fit than you were 10 minutes ago. you have a good blood flow in your body, more oxygen will reach your cells" so I appreciate the little things that I do, while imagining I am on a good path, and I've done a step on this path today. I started learning italian 2 years ago, and by just doing 10 minutes a day I understand a lot now and I watch an italian psychology channel. Learning new things and focusing on my health has given me a lot of joy and self confidence. And I am practicing to be grateful. It is looking at positive things in my life and nourish and maintain them. The relationship to my family or my hair. I am grateful for having healthy hair and maintain by drinking a spoon of pumpkin seed oil a day. Be grateful through action. And conscious positive thinking. When I started with my list, I did 5 minutes of positive thinking as a task. Do a good thing for yourself today and shine brighter than you did before. Much love to you!

Depression is a tough adversary, and there are several different types. I’m one of the lucky ones that can experience a moment of happiness in the middle of months of depression, and while it doesn’t happen often, those times are more important to me than most people realise. Battling depression for 45 years is exhausting and isolating.

@midnighthunter1426 Жыл бұрын

Wow, 45 years is a very long time. I've been through almost 6 months feeling depressed, and it's already getting too difficult. Huge respect to you for enduring for so long. Stay strong!

@@midnighthunter1426 well the first half went undiagnosed - I just felt like I deserved to feel miserable. I got formally diagnosed in the year 2000, aged 40, and have been on anti-depressant medications ever since. It has been an interesting journey that I’d rather forget! Right now, things seem to be falling apart, so it is an ongoing challenge. Thank you for your kind wishes - it really means a lot. I hope your own situation stabilises and starts to improve. Like any addiction (and depression is like an addiction), don’t do it alone, find family, friends or complete strangers across the globe who can offer support with no judgements.

What she said in this video is very powerful, live the moment doing your best at that moment. In interactions with people we can find a lot of relief, it's very unhealthy to be isolated. It's also important to not make one thing too much important as if it's an idol that replaces God. A hobby is just a distraction, a job is just a way of living. People is what matters. I encourage you to read the gospels. Jesus is all that matters on our lives and his teachings are very powerful.

Hey! I am currently working on my masters to become a therapist. I actually had a bad experience with a therapist back when I was 16. Just not helpful at all and made me feel like therapists don’t help and just don’t work. I tried therapy again at the age of 20. Changed my entire life. Now I’m 23 and working towards becoming one myself. Just know that most therapists are like her, and myself, and my therapist. We truly care and want to help you in any way we can. If you ever feel the need for a therapist, I hope you give us a chance. You can always try out a therapist for one session, decide you don’t like them and move on to the next until you find the right one. We don’t take any offense to it and we want you to find the right match!

Her advice is truly valuable! I recently overcame a two-year battle with depression, during which I endured extensive therapy and emotional suffering without seeing any hope. For months, I felt trapped in darkness, but one day, I glimpsed a light. As I moved toward it, the light grew brighter, and now my depression is gone. I can finally be myself again, though in a different reality, as the old me no longer exists. The new me is stronger than ever before.

Thank you. 💗 Recently I have been feeling like there isn’t a point in trying to take good care of myself. I’m trying not to feel this way anymore.

I usually detest the idea of wasting something as precious as water but this was not it. Thank you ❤️

I recently came to the realization that the job I had accepted almost 10 months ago even though it had great benefits and opportunities was making me spiral deeper into depression and anxiety on most days I have to be medicated to just even get through the day. A week ago I put in my 2 weeks notice and even though I still have anxiety at least I have the last day to look forward to. Everyone going through something I hope you all find peace within yourselves to give yourself the time and attention to heal.

Can’t do one small thing when no small things feel like joy 🤷‍♀️.

Needed to hear this today. The "why bother" thinking is probably don't properly take care of myself either and not just doing pleasurable activities.

I have severe ocd with psychotic features and GAD. It's more of my anxiety that cripples me into not even being able to move most days, but I still agree with this. When I finally forced myself to not give in to my compulsions and try to enjoy the little things again, I started to feel a tiny bit better every day. I'm finally on the path to recovery. I'm no longer hooked on benzos, and I'm excited to say that my psychiatrist believes I'm ready to taper off my antipsychotics. I'm ready to rejoin the world 😊

The way you're using YT shorts to present psychological concepts so innovatively is amazing. I personally have not seen anyone doing this yet. The way you creatively explain psychological concepts is great. God bless you for the work you're doing. Keep going!

I didn't realize how broken I am until I subscribed to your channel. I am fighting, I really am. Having the tools to get better and actually using them are easer said then done. I have been in "recovery" for 6 months now. Eating right, working out five days a week. 10k steps in a day. I feel good, not great or happy but I am stable and motivated so not hating myself is a start.

My definition about joy and happiness is that it accompanies the bad moment similar to a train track never separate for two wheels. If someone can handle both at a time with more focus at the positive experience of this life, he's really happy.
