welcome back to SEASON TWO episode TWENTY-THREE ✨
today's topic is a deeeeeerp one but I wanted to talk about it solely for the fact I think it helps break the idea that dealing with any kind of mental health issue should feel shameful or embarrassing in any way ❤
I still find the everyday blues tap occasionally on my shoulder, stopping in for a coffee and a visit every now and then but it's rare that I fall into as deep of pits as I once did. I started talking about my history with depression with my therapist and revisiting these more uncomfortable emotions allowing them a chance to release any hold they may have has been really eye opening. (I'm a bit of a believer that undigested emotions stick around until we finally let ourselves feel them out of our system)
I'm killer at blocking out and disassociating from emotions and feelings that I deem to be a little too much and due to this there have been times in my life I"ve noticed feeling disconnected from the things I loved most along with my relationship to myself. Talking about those times and opening back up the idea that all emotions deserve to be equally felt has made those moments feel SO MUCH LIGHTER!
The reason I made this video and am still here typing this out to you (bless your soul if you've made it this far) is because I remember what it's like to feel like you have to hide the shadows. I remember pretending to be sick to avoid getting out of bed to face the day or the feeling of seeing usual bright colours blend into some sort of a dull and hazy grey. I remember thinking no one would understand, or worse, I would be seen differently for admitting these feelings out loud. I didn't want to discredit my mind, I just wanted to comfort it but on my own I didn't always know how.
There are so many of you out there that might relate to this, and I wish I could personally answer you all. Instead, I'll leave you with the advice I wish I could have comforted myself with then:
Your existence is part of the fabric of life, and despite how heavy you feel the world needs and loves you. Whatever way you may be feeling is valid -- but the only way out of feeling that way is working through it. You also don't have to work through it alone. As lonely as depression can feel, I wish you could see the amount of other people sitting with these exact same feelings and wondering if they are alone too.
You don't have to change in a day. You don't need to be the happiest person in the room, but with a few baby steps in the right direction you'll start to feel the familiar friend inside that usually swoons over life's little things like a warm cup of coffee or the sight of a full moon.
Time will change things, including you, so just keep hanging on and keep your face towards the sun. I don't know one incredible person with an easy past, and as much as you may feel at odds with yourself - everything you truly seek is already within.
You've . Got . This .

When my parents found out I was self harming in high school, I had to figure out how to cope with entering the bathroom because that's it all came about and that's where I felt the most helpless and for months I cried because of my anxiety on how to cope in other ways. At points it felt like I was drowning but there's is a light. It's still dim at times but understanding what and why it's happening makes it easier to handle. Thank you✌❤😁

All I can say is thank you for this video. I've been watching your channels/listening to your podcast for about a year and a half now and have enjoyed and loved everything, but this here has touched my soul the most. I've always had a feeling that I had depression especially the way it's affected my life in the last two years. Just a few months ago I spoke to my doctor about it and am finally getting help/facing my depression, which is something that took me a lot of courage to accept and come at peace with. Hearing your side of it and realizing how similar my struggles were truly helped me realize that I am not alone. Again, thank you so much for this, you're the best Kalyn.

I would love it and appreciate it so much if you did a video about depression and anxiety when it comes to work. Ive gotten basically fired from two jobs because I did not fit their "aesthetic" and they thought I was very stuck up when in reality I was just very quiet and anxiety would get in the way of showing my full self to my co workers. keep in mind that these were restaurant jobs, Its hard to no think that I'm letting my anxiety and depression get in the way of living my life it sucks. I try to keep in mind that maybe It just wasn't a good fit for me :/

I grew up thinking showing emotions made you weak, so i bottled all my emotions inside. For such a long time i didn't know what i was feeling half of the time and the only feeling i could recognized was sadness and the feeling of empty. Starting my 20's I finally went to a theraphist. Finding out that I had functioning depression made me more aware of how to deal with it. But it was and is hard to not shut down all emotions and keep going the same pattern. When i finally was finished with school I had an epiphany. It had been such a long time since I had felt the feeling of excitement, but now I am excited about life. I let myself feel happiness and sadness, but most of all I try not numb my feelings any more. Writing in a diary helped me express myself in was I hadn't. Also watching videos about other people, like you talking about their struggle has helped med come to terms with my own. Thanks :) xoxo love from Norway

I feel like a topic that could be covered in a future video could be about solo travel and your mindset of choosing solo? As well another interesting one could be the side effects of perfectionism / staged life vs "in-perfectionism" / day to day on social media? Great video Kalyn, it is awesome that are breaking some barriers down when talking more and more about your personal life. Mental health should be talked about more, and I feel like you have a great platform to continue the conversation.

Suuuper super helpful. I know that for years I, too, would only talk about my anxiety instead of admitting to my depression. A part of me I guess felt it was more socially acceptable? to be suffering with anxiety and I was embarrassed about my depression. But now that I'm facing it for what it actually is, I am going through EXACTLY what you're talking about with the deja vu and past emotions that I'd stuffed away for years. Recognizing the numbness and disconnection that it was. So thank you for making this video, I hope this topic will become easier and easier to talk about in the mainstream in the coming years.

My depression has been slowly getting worse, I like to shut myself down and avoid school and work and just sleep all day. Lately what I have found to help is when I feel that way not forcing myself to do what my mind is telling me it doesn’t want to do, but rather weigh out the pros and cons about showing up or not and then if I decide that showing up isn’t happening I take the day as a reset and work on me things like my planner or clean the apartment or play with makeup or even just take a bubble bath and it seems to help

one book that kept me afloat during the later years of highschool was called The Red Tree - By Shaun Tan. It’s set out like a picture book and if anything it’s a poem with pictures. For my 32nd birthday (2 weeks ago) I got a tattoo of a leaf from the tree as a reminder that there is always hope. I highly recommend this book to anyone struggling with their mental health, it literally saved my life ❤️

Would love a mire in-depth video on this. It's kind of weird, but what popped in my head when you were talking about the numbness is that I don't feel desire often. Like, I don't want a new gadget, I don't want to go to the park, I don't want anything. I don't believe I'm content (I know I'm not) but I've never really felt "allowed" to want anything, so I usually don't. I think this is why I get so stagnant in life. I need to talk to my therapist about that I think.

I very much like the topic of this video as I feel depression and other mental health issues can’t be discussed often enough. In this day and age of rising mental health crises and increased deaths by suicide, it’s vital that this topic becomes mainstream and natural to talk about. However, this wasn’t really a video about depression - instead it was a brief recap of a certain period in your life when you were feeling disconnected from your feelings (due to depression), followed by a suggestion that people should mentally, and if possible physically, return to past depressions or tough times in order to exorcise these emotions out of themselves. Which can be helpful in certain cases but doesn’t help people who are suffering from depression or other mental health problems right now. I hope that over on your main channel (where you’re not limited by time as you are in these daily brews) you make a proper and much longer video about depression itself, in which you share your own experience with the illness in much more depth, describing how it felt when you were NOT disconnected from your feelings but actually feeling the full effects of this illness. It would be very important for other young people to hear that their fears and suffering were also once experienced by someone they look up to. Also, when speaking about depression, and to young people especially, it’s very important that you always remind others suffering from it to go and seek help - from their doctor, friend, sibling, parent, teacher etc - as well as explain how you first sought help yourself and how things panned out for you after you did. There are SO many young people now suffering from this awful illness, as well as other mental illnesses, and suicide rates among the young are sky-rocketing. Did you know that suicide is the leading cause of death amongst young men? To do the subject justice, especially for your non-subscribers who might well have clicked on this video hoping for advice, guidance and reassurance, I really think it’s important you make a proper video on this subject, rather than this brief description of a period of your life when you were cut off from your feelings. That’s not going to help anyone who is suffering from the illness right NOW and who will have been misled by this title. I’m sorry if I come off a little strong, but as someone who has had to endure this illness for most of her life and who has written several published novels on the subject, I really don’t think you should have used the title ‘Let’s Talk About Depression’ for a video that barely touches on the subject at all and that doesn’t contain any real description of it or words of advice to those suffering from it right now. It seems a bit like clickbait when you post a video supposedly about a very serious and potentially life-threatening illness, only to talk about revisiting painful past memories and a brief description about once being disconnected from your own feelings. I really hope you do the right thing and make a video that goes much more in depth and contains practical advice for viewers who are currently in the throes of suffering. It really is a shame that these daily brews have to be so short, as they just end up being very ‘lite’ and useless at discussing anything truly meaningful. I don’t mean to criticise you - only your team, who I think have given you some very bad advice about making these short daily videos. They are ‘Kalyn-Lite’ - frothy and insubstantial and not a patch on the great and meaningful videos you used to create so well alone.

I have definitely experienced depression in different ways and severities through out my life... thank you for speaking up about it from your own perspective... I think the hardest for me to deal with, was the numbness (I am someone who usually feels a lot, deeply and I can be oversensitive..) and the dissociation that I experienced from the numbness (at some point I thought I was loosing my sight, also felt more than once like i am staring into my life from a window/like a movie, both of which are so strange. anyways, could talk about this topic for so long and would love more videos from you on it...

I suffer with similar feelings of depression. I have felt the overwhelming sadness at times, where i feel as if i am suffocating in my own mind. But as of lately it has been more of what you described, the numbing dull ache; feeling nothing. No excitement, no happiness, weeks/months go by and i dont even notice if i was actually living; or just simply breathing. I remember i did a similar thing where i experienced a very traumatic pain and depression and i prayed for it to all just stop, i didnt want to feel anymore. And its like i shut off my emotions entirely. I do not know how to feel again.

@carolinek8480 5 жыл бұрын

Helena Breviik after trying antidepressants for 2-3 years but none of them really working for my body in the long term, I decided to try another route about 10 months ago and it has really helped. I don't disregard the need for meds for some people but they just didn't work for me! I definitely recommend finding a therapist who has certain values and mindsets you align with because that really helped me, and what ultimately allowed me to resurface out of depression was actually taking a mindful approach and becoming aware of how emotions are stored in the body and trying to work through old emotions and letting them out over time. It's still a process now and I definitely had an emotional few months once I started to let emotions exist and come out, but honestly allowing your emotions to just BE and sit with them (which is sometimes difficult and I am still learning now) perhaps in meditation or yoga or listening to music or walks or through journaling....allowing your emotional system to just do what it does, all emotions do and will pass. That's such a small small summary but I recommend looking into emotional healing and mindfulness. A combination of education of the emotional body, increasing mindfulness in my daily life, doing activities like yoga and walking around in nature to appreciate existence, and truly allowing myself the best I can to feel all the emotions that come my way and not hold back (like in depression, when everything is suppressed and numbed out) has really given me the belief that I have the ability to never face depression again. There are obviously hard and bad days, but I think there is a difference, and being able to feel and experience the emotional world fully, even when challenging, is such a gift. Your existence is a gift and so powerful, and we all have the ability to tap into that belief and give ourself credit for being alive and find joy in it in some way. Ahh this was a lot and I don't know if it is super clear but I hope it at least points you to some helpful ideas to look into! There is so much information out there that I recommend starting small and slow and working new practices and ways of thinking into your daily life. Don't be afraid to struggle or take time with it, no plan is perfect but there is all the power in effort, because that effort comes out of so much love for yourself. I wish you the best!!

Hi, Kalyn. I really like your daily brews. Can I suggest you list the videos as show in youtube with seasons and episodes ( the way it's showing over every video title).

The videos are awesome and I want them to have even more success. Love you❤️

Depression is hard at whatever age and something that never goes away totally so the secret is to work a little every day to feel happy and know what really makes you happy. And even with depression, you can be happy most of the time (which is normal =)) I deal with depression every day but I don't think about it I just think when I'm sad I can cry it off, do something I love or pet my cat until both are satisfied =D Or all of them until I feel sain again because when you feel low low low it feels like everything is sh** no matter what you do and you sometimes don't have the energy to do anything to change it. So cry it off and that is ok too. No shoving your feelings down! (I did that for some time and I just got worse) You have to do your best to feel your best and you are not the only one even though you feel alone

Haa depression. ..my life partner. Lol. One thing I learned lately is that all the sadness /depression that we start feeling from a very young age it's actually not ours it's just a generational and universal trauma that gets passed through the womb in pregnancy and stays in the womb of all females until released but because it's not just our pain we can't really release it all , it took generations of accumulation so it will take a few generations to release all of it. Each of us has to release just a little bit so the next generation has less to deal with and that's how global healing can happen in my opinion. Great video!

Kalyn. I have to say, you struck a chord here with me today. If it is not too much to ask of you, it would be nice to have a longer discussion of depression later. I hope I am talking in behalf of all of us, that you don't necessarily have to talk about your own depression, but the upbeat person that you are, it would be nice if you could give us some insight into dealing with such deep emotions. Thanks a ton for your vulnerability. :)

Oh, dear! That video hits home so hard...I can say that I have a good period now but it was so bad 3 years ago. I have one friend and I've talked about them before. They helped me to not to drown in my self-loathing after the rape. They were those who made me face the truth about what happened and admitted to myself. I couldn't stand myself. I was a pitty, bitter and judgy person and those are...treats of a person's character I despise. Now...Now, though it hurts to know that the rapist will never be punished cause there is no evidence, I can live with myself knowing I have never been responsible for his actions and now I love myself. Though the nightmare always finds their way back to me. Would you do a video about dealing with nightmares? (I am not expecting a cure - not that kind of naive)

For me, depression is numbness and lack of energy to live. Sadness comes in more with my anxiety.

Thanks for this video. It's great to see this level on vulnerability and personal experience. However, some of the audience need to know that they need to speak to their doctor, get medication if necessary and get professional psychotherapy. (Instead of taking advice from random people online which is often second hand advice from a therapist which was meant for a particular person's situation, not everyone).

How do you deal with a long distance relationship? I really like this one guy and he likes me but I'm scared to commit because of how far apart we are. How do you deal with yours? Does it get hard? What are the ups and downs of it?
