i have never commented on the computer. i am 78 years old and its all new to me. you changed my life ! i went through my first depression in my life, you brought me out of it by talking in a simple way about our thoughts. wow, i love you to death you are like no one else, you have an amazing gift , i have tears in my eyes right now just because i understand more about what is going on with my thoughts. i will continue to listen to all your videos best of all the things to you thanks. again

Is this guy a EARTH ANGEL.. I see a good person who really wants to help.. EXCELLENT WAY WITH WORDS.. I wish this man ALL THE BEST HAPPY WISHES IN LIFE.. IRONIC.. Name noah.. THE ONE GOD PICKED????

I'm a grown man and this video brought me to tears, finally got what he was saying I just hope I can hold on to it and remember it.

I’ve never experienced somebody who explains depression and anxiety quite like Noah. I started watching his videos literally yesterday and for the first time in 2 years I felt immense relief. Thank you!

I'm so glad I discovered this channel.

I am going through a tough time in my life and nothing makes me feel positive more than Noah's videos. :)

I recommend his u-tube clips to all my patients I see at hospital suffering with mental illness. I frequently go back over his talks to refresh my mind. What a common sense way to look at things. Thank you for your ongoing video clips. They have touch my life deeply.

What a smart, lovely person you are :-) I think depression has a tendency to cloud thoughts - you put things very logically which helps. Making videos like this can have such a tremendous impact on people in such a personal way. Thank you so much x

Seriously one of the best youtube videos I've ever seen. Even if you don't have deep morbid depression like me, everyone can learn a LOT from this. The fact is that thoughts create our realities, learning how to understand them is everything.

Wow. My anxiety and depression was just crushed! I spent a few hours doing what you said. THANK YOU

You saved my life

Can you make a video on how to deal with health problems like chronic diseases (pain, fatigue, etc.)? It sounds irrelevant but people like us who have been dealing with them for a long time suffer from the mind also. I mean how to deal with them emotionally. thanks a great deal.

Im 11 and suffering from depression and anxiety and this video Really helps thx noah

You are an answer to prayer Sir. I have been sharing your videos. Really appreciate all the wisdom.

Wow, I'm speechless. I'm loving the clarity you provide. It's absolutely one of the most helpful thing I've come across. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that you pretty much descried the logic of meditation. One brief moment I thought that you were hypnotizing me, but then I just realized that I was profoundly focused - something that I'm not used to. You managed to capture the inner workings of my mind, and I couldn't do anything but focus. Incredible! Checking out your book now...

Speaks so eloquently and touches the soul. I have returned to his videos so many times during a dreadful period in my life. Thank you Noah.

A lot of your videos have been really helping me through my recent break up. It was really hard on me and left me with a lot of sour feelings, but a lot of your videos helped me get past all the bad feelings and move on with my life.

you have no idea how thankful I am for uploading all these videos.

It's remarkable how comforting I have found your videos. Thank you for posting them.

Thank you so much Noah! , this is helping so much in changing my life, I'm thankful that your journey has assisted you in teaching others to be able to get through and understand their own journey. Much love brother.

I have never been happier than I am right now.. after finding your videos.. I've been dealing with depression the last week or so pretty badly and Ive already seen two of your other videos on it.. but this one really seemed to help me.. I really want to thank you Noah.. You saved me..

What you're saying is mind-bending, to say the least. The realization that the beliefs one has held all one's life that have created suffering, self-doubt and insecurities, were never real to begin with, is mind-blowing. Just imagine all the pain, agony and suffering that you could have spared yourself (and others) had you known this. All the power you've given away over a lifetime, allowing others' opinions to control you, allowing others to have power over you or even believing your own thoughts, is bondage! When you stop to think about it, you see how absurd it really is. You'll be a wave on the ocean if you're constantly swayed by the opinions and actions of others. The awakening to this is true freedom! In a way, it even renders meditation unnecessary, because if you're in a free state of mind, then you don't have to ponder it or meditate on it. Would you agree?

Thanks for making these available.Great resource and appreciate the time you've taken to offer help

STOP ✋🏻! The exact word I needed to hear today! Thank you so much for this, I needed clarity. 💕🥰

I love how he says "stop" and "right". Yor videos really helped me realize that there are so much happiness around me, and I dont notice it. I hope I will be better in life one day, and finally, BE HAPPY

Thanks for making these videos. I see how my thoughts controlled my life.

I always recommend people who feel anhedonia (if nothing else works) to get their blood tested. I actually did this because therapy and all that jazz wasn't helping. It turns out I had a very low vitamin D deficiency. Definitely recommend if you guys feel your depression may stem from a biological factor

This helps a lot! Thanks a ton Noah..Love watching all your videos.. can feel that they flow from a place of pure realization, peace and love.. Thanks so much for doing what u r doing.. The world needs more ppl like you! :)

Thank you Noah. You have always helped me with your videos. Especially the one "How to forget someone" I was in a dark place when I split up with my boyfriend and listening to your voice made me feel better. You are an angel! Xx

thank you so much, I've been feeling overwhelmed for some time, and this helped me out of it☺

This video was so incredibly helpful to me. My upbringing was not a positive one. And so now, I reject any negative thoughts whenever my mother tries to still them on me. I am in a good path. Thank you Noah!!!!

Profound stuff. I really thank you for at the very least helping me feel better for at least this moment. I'll continue to watch these

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! I’ve been searching for the truth for decades. I’ve come close.... but you have explained it so simply.. Thank you sooooo much wise young man!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much, this was just what I needed to hear.

Thank you for your work in making this video, and the others. Your message is exceptionally unique and challenges us to alter our perceptions in so many ways. It's not easy, but tremendously effective. Best wishes to you and all who are working so hard to be free, and happy.

I'm not sure how you do it, but listening to you gives me the same comfort as meditation. Building a meditation habit would really help my mental state, I think.

thanks for your videos and advice they really helped me get through a dark part of my life. it can be hard not dwelling on those bad thoughts but your ideas of thinking did help. your a good man👍👍👍

This man is on a roll. He's breaking world records with those home run shots. Yet another fantastic display and even more help in my life, as I faced depression yet again. This video was addressing the exact depression. Thank you Noah, you're truly a life saver. Btw I struggle a lot in life because I'm bipolar I.

Thank you so much for this video. I was suddenly have a sudden surge of sadness and could not stop crying. This video helped me a lot

Just hearing you say stop helped me get out of my thoughts and be present for a moment. Thank you

Ahh i always get so hyped when noah uploads a new video :D

I'm having an awful problem with anxiety and fear. This is a good start for me watching this is video. I watch the news and it always make me fear the future so I just lay in bed or on the sofa worrying. It awful to suffer like this.

You are amazing. When you said instead of distracting yourself from your anxiety thoughts with an external source, just watch your thoughts, let them pass and do not engage. You are this moment; depression does not define you, it's just a state you are going through...

This is the second video of yours I've watched. You are helping me so much. Thank you.

I've had a hard night and last few months. Thanks this brought me a lot of peace:-)

I have listened to a couple of your videos. You have really got a deep understanding. You are enlighted my friend.

Thank you so much Noah. I cannot believe I am just coming across these treasures and your advice really helps. I can't watch your videos fast enough! Thank you thank you thank you!

This is one of the first videos I've watched that seems to help. I've watched so many videos, trying to understand why I feel this way, and usually, I'd know why. I usually am able to understand why I feel how I do, and well, maybe I do understand why I feel this way, but I just distract myself from it. All that you've said, it makes me think more, and I feel like I'm looking at things different, though it's only been a couple minutes since I've finished this video. Thank you for taking the time to make this video, it's helped me a lot already. Thank you, and I love you all who are going through this as well, even if you aren't, I still love you! It's a horrible feeling to feel alone, and unloved. For the past, I don't know, a long time. A very, very long time, I've felt this way, maybe from since I've been 6, (I'm 15 now). I know it sounds strange for a 6 year old to think that, but I've just felt this way for so long, of course, it's gotten worse since then. Especially for the past 2 years, it's felt, hollow. Like nothing. I've just felt, well, nothing really. Nothing, and sadness. Sadness because I feel nothing. I just look in the future, always saying to myself, "I'll never be able to make it, not now.". I just always feel hopeless. It feels weird to say something this personal on a KZfaq video comment section, but maybe it will help some people, to relate to the feelings. I always feel empty though, and, well actually, I don't even feel worried anymore. It's like, what's the point of feeling anything anymore, it wont matter. I'm in the 7th grade right now, barely making it through halfway. I've been stuck in this grade for a couple years now. Not because the content is hard, or anything like that. I just, I can't focus on anything. I'm in my mind more than I'm not, by a lot. Sometimes I don't even work on school anymore because I don't feel the point of doing so. It goes something like this, "Well, I'm already this far behind, there's no hope for me now I guess, and I guess I don't aspire to do anything in life anyways. I don't bother to do anything, I don't even bother to trying to feel better." I guess to say it in a shorter way, I don't care to get better, or do anything. It feels like everything I once loved, no longer means anything to me, hardly a single thing anymore means something to me. Of course, I still love my family, and everyone, but as far as anything else, I don't feel care for anything else. The only thing I feel happy, or look forward to now is to helping others, and making them feel good. I know that's not a horrible thing to want to do, but it's the only thing I want to do. I don't enjoy any activities I once did. Such as walking, mountain biking, seeing friends and family, fishing, hiking, kayaking, dirt biking, shooting, really, just anything. But why? Why do I feel this way? I really have all the time in the world to think about it, but I don't. I play a lot of video games, (that I used to enjoy) but now, I don't. I know I don't enjoy them anymore, they don't bring me happiness. But I still play them. I play them as a sad attempt to not be with my thoughts. My bad thoughts consume me while doing anything, but I don't address them so to say. I know they're there, and I should do something, but I'll do anything to not be alone with them, and really understand them. But now, I just, I have to. There's nothing else to do really. These thoughts, they've robbed me of my life, they've consumed me really. Every day, is the same. 100% repetitive. I wake up, take a shower, eat, sometimes even not eat, it just feels like too much of a task to want to get out of bed in the first place, then, pretty much sit in bed all day, just thinking about how bad I am, things I could of done, my mom.. everything. And I allow these thoughts of worry to rob my happiness from things, and let them take my motivation to even want to enjoy anything away. I have to ask myself, why do I not enjoy things I loved? Well, because it feels the same, and I know I'm just temporarily distracting myself. Well, then why do I keep doing it, though I know I am just merely distracting myself for a short moment? Because, because I'm scared. I'm scared to think about it, to understand my feelings I guess. It's hard, but I know I have to talk with myself. And listen to these feelings, and listen to what they're telling me. What are they telling me? I know it's not I need anything different externally, a new hobby, or something such as that. I know a new hobby will just bring me temporary happiness, and a short moment of distraction. I might enjoy the hobby a little tiny bit the first couple of times, but I know I will go right back to where I was. So I know it's all in my head. There's so much going on in my head every day it gets confusing. Like an unorganized factory, with people with a million different things running here, running there, all going different places with different purposes, just fumbling through each other. Instead of people though, these are thoughts. Millions of thoughts, every where, thoughts of happiness, sadness, everything everywhere inside my head. It makes me dizzy thinking about it, and trying to sort though my feelings. I'm sorry if this felt to personal, or made you uncomfortable, (If anyone reads this) but I felt like I might be able to help some people understand them selves by sharing my sorrow. As always, and forever more, I love you, the person who is reading this. I really, really do. I don't mean to come off as too much, but I just can't tell people how much I really love them. No matter how bad you think you are, or think you'll go nowhere, I understand now. I really do, and together I know we will overcome it, through god, you will be able to overcome anything bad, it takes faith, and commitment. Through the lord, no sadness or evil from Satan himself will ever take us. It doesn't mean god will make us always happy or anything, there will still be horrid, horrible times. But if you seek the lord throughout, and come to him, he will be there. He will understand, even through the darkest of times. He will help you in ways, you might not expect, sometimes if will be easy, others, it will be a hard lesson. Sometimes, he'll knock you down to bring you up, stronger than before. I love you god. I cannot thank god enough for all he has done. I will write a little prayer, for you, and I. Though, it's really not the same on a comment, or in any text. Dear lord, thank you for another day. I thank you for all your blessing, big, or small. Thank you for giving me what I have, but most importantly, thank you for sharing your light with me. The light of your love surpasses anything on this earth. Lord, forgive me, for I have sinned. I am a sinner, a great one at that too. I have sinned so, so much. You know each and every single one. Lord, please forgive me for all of them. Please keep Satan away from us. Thank you lord, in Jesus' name I pray, amen.

It was a pleasure to listen to you! Thank you! :)

I have wicked PMDD, in the midst of it right now, and all I can say is wow. I’ve had therapists, meds, I’ve tried pretty much everything. The list of things people recommend you do when depressed are all distractions, I’ve done them all, but nothing sticks. Even guided meditations promote distraction. But the issue wasn’t the activity, it was me thinking about how the good feeling would be gone as soon as I was finished doing whatever “feel good remedy” it was. This was amazing. I appreciate you for posting these.

Good and bad is just an interpretation of some processed information. Hard to internalize emotionally, but you have explained it so nicely and comfortingly! I should come back when I tend to forget it again. Thanks!

Explained my exact thoughts on pointlessness I feel lately. Thanks for the video

THANK YOU SO MUCH, NOAH !!! I LOVE YOU !!!

you hit it square - thx. we are too much in our heads and shoulds and not the present moment. thx for reminder we are always evolving.

Noah, Great video I especial like the example "the reason why we don't get pleasure" our thoughts can make us sick at times.

Thank you for such helpful video, it does make a lot of sense, it’s hard to apply it all the time because we always forget, but we have to try to remember 🙏🏻💕

Well uve just saved my life thanks ba

I am alot calmer now Noah I suffer myself from severe depression many days bedridden and I'll much of it from thoughts I have been offered rich things in life had alot of material possessions but nothing made me happy thank you for this video

you changed my life

you are such a lovely person this video will have an impact on my life for ever ! . take care

Thanks so much. Your speech was so clear and helpful.

Thanks man, i can tell you really thought this through and i appreciate your afford and care. This Video was very helpfull, just what i needed rn. Much Love.

Absolutely the most profound - and practical Depression help I’ve ever witnessed. I felt my cloud of “hopeless despair” lift a noticeable amount while focusing on this message. The keyword here: focusing. It was almost like a form of meditation - given in the form of a spoken word. I’ve often heard: “Perception IS the reality.” And in the course of my life, I’ve become a VICTIM to this school of thought. This video made it clear… perception is ONLY perception. It is NOT reality. It’s only has as much value as what a given individual places upon it. A story grounded in fantasy and imagination. This message has gone a long way towards the liberation from my self-loathing. I just need to constantly remind myself of this concept. Thank you SO much for breaking this down into easy to manage thought patterns. My goal is to displace my constant negative ruminations (imaginations) with present moment active awareness. This video gave me the tools to do just that. Thanks again.👍

Thank you so much for sharing this. I can't express how much this helps.

thank you for posting this

Noah, what do you think the better way for someone who's nervous and scared of sharing his opinions with some people? thank you for helping, you keep inspiring us, thank you from all my heart.

Noah, many thanks for all the videos. Only since October 14 have I started to be either depressed or super anxious. Family business and wanting to keep people employed. Your videos help me understand things. I would like to thank you and I hope if you get revenue from the videos its enough to support your family. Take care.

Thank you again Noah. Good video, good work! :)

Hello Noah thanks for the videos you post on your KZfaq channel they are are great help. I have depression taking Prozac didn't work for me had a really bad reaction to it but i'm glad I took it as it gave me some focus as i don't want to be this anymore and with your videos it's giving me light at the end of the tunnel you are a true inspiration thank you from the bottom of my heart, keep up the good work :-)

Finally someone who gets to the point.

Thank you for helping me so much!

Noah , I owe u a big thankyou , every time I'm in a situation ur videos help me out and then there are others channel too but they clarify the way u do . kepp it up !!! 👍👍 big like . ☺☺😊😊

What if someone else is causing you grief? I may have been bullied, harassed, insulted, or humiliated by someone else. It’s one topic to know how to stand up for yourself. I’ve experienced abuse that’s real. How would I deal with the mental/emotional aftermath of it all? I keep staying in the past, wishing I could have responded differently or how I could have prevented the whole thing.

Thank you

Thank you this really helped me

I am currently on anti depressants that have had a positive effect on my life. When I really broke down why I was feeling better, the main ingredient was the inability to take thoughts too far. The medication has blocked my ability to dwell, analyze or obsess. The result is a mind that is very similar to what this video is presenting. My thoughts are very ‘here and now’. FYI Most people might call this the zombie side effect. Turns out, life’s more enjoyable as a zombie.

Somewhere in 14:00 suddenly my suffering disappeared. I can't believe it!!! Noah is a magician!

I truly admire you. love from S.Africa

Thanks I can relate to this. 💝

your videos helped me to get out of depression

thank you

Wonderful! 💖

Very helpful ❤️

Hi Noah could you make a video on coping with parents arguments, great vid by the way

Noah. I can't wait your video's always make my day brighter becuz they are impacting and creating critical thinking. Love from EU
