I always live life the best way you can. Before watching the video, my way of seeing it is as long as we're able to breath, there's a better tomorrow.

Dunno if it help you, but friend was diagnosed with reocurring depression (seasonal) - he started walking 20km daily, anda after 7 months now he's was fully treated - for "theoretically untreatable disease - 25 years" - it probably alone wasn't something which healed him, but probably started upward spiral

Lucky you! i am 23, disabled and haven't been able to walk for months. Everything is extremely painful and i don't have very much support from my family on account of me being trans and living in the south. I am pretty much screwed in life lol. Remember not to take the little things for granted

You got lost in the present moment and lost track of time and goals and felt free for once. Congrats on your near-life experience!

Hope you get home safe and rest your legs! It’s important to stretch especially if they’re not used to walking for that long.

I like it

Yeah this ain't me (just submitted an assignment 3 days late 😎)

Actually doctor K says that in the mental health bootcampt about Yoga and Meditation: "You cant move mountains, cant even move yourself. And thats fine. You can be this Person and you will do what needs be done." And I like that alot

Once I started thinking like this it really made anxious feelings redundant

I'm borrowing this thanks :)

Feel like I was just tanking and didn't notice my hp was low and this guy is just always like "you're overextending, pull back!" And then BOOM hits me with healing at just the right time

Yes damn finally the algorithm is working for me 👉😭👈

It’s life giving u sings

*insert indian word related to it Karhjmmah

Agreed :3

Amazing

weeb 😂

Ooo nice, proud of you

@@haunts3479 a committed weeb is worth a praise!

I'm 22 and only ever had one boyfriend, and this definitely resonates with me a lot. I could see myself doing the same, in 10 years maybe I won't be any more ready than I am now. Maybe it's time to put myself out there.

It’s why I’m still in the same job after 10 years despite being so bored, uninspired, and frustrated with it.

I want to say something, this thing is probably a different story and different issue but is still somehow connected to the topic of this video. The thing about being ready in all kinds of situation can be dangerous too if not taken on the right context. So when I was a teenager, I was a yes person. Do this, do that. I tried to mask my anxiety and do all the things that was presented in my face even though I wasn't ready for it yet. I tried to take all of the opportunities and failed at most of it. In the end, the mask I put as confidence revealed my incompetence. The entitled teenager me believed that, she can get all the good things without working hard for it, just have confidence. That failure led me to depression and became the person that this video is talking about. I overcompensated and went to the different side of the spectrum. I think I have to hide in my room, never show myself to anyone, practice all day, and all night and maybe in a year I can be better. But I never reached that point, after 3 years I still wasn't ready. The problem I had before was I wasn't listening to my fears. I removed it from the equation and now presented a different problem. It's the same avoidant issue. I just wasn't aware of it at that time. I never really learned anything from it because again, I was avoiding thinking all the things that created the problem in the first place. But being alone in my room gave me some time to think about all the things I did in the past, which is also a major development for me, I will say. I learned to be afraid and maybe take some caution when needed. But also be confident enough to take some risks from time to time.

@@madcat6299 exactly. It’s important to be aware of your fears, but also aware of where you are right now in relation to what you are setting out to accomplish.

@@capp12249 Yeah, I'm 25 and only had one girlfriend and that was in high school, now that I'm halfway through my 20s it's really dawning on me that I'm not getting any younger and I should try to find "the one".

What it means depends on you. Living life to the fullest can be so different from person to person.

I agree, without thinking about it we are presented with a paradigm of “living life to the fullest”. It sounds great to travel, have fun and be your own boss, so we chase that only to realize that we can’t reach it or it’s just not what we actually wanted.

And when you are rich and can easily do all of those things yet you still don't is when it hits way too hard. I don't think there is a single thing that is unreachable for me, yet I rarely feel good enough to even try any of them. But that's good. When I do one of them it's because I want to do it for myself, not for others. This last month I started going to the clubs, which with social anxiety wasn't easy. But I don't go there to pick up girls or impress anybody. I just want to move with the music and it's even fun to do it sober for me. Did the same thing with social media, I've finally signed up for ig and started uploading pics from my new dlsr which I also don't do for external validation anymore. Likes are a nice touch but I just do it for myself, to build some personal space that I can easily share with others.

Good for you! Sounds like you're growing!

Totally! It takes some prioritizing to find out what you think is worth it as an individual.

I definitely relate

It also difficult to take action if you don't have motivation, even if you have no depression. Or maybe the lack of motivation is a bit of depression

@@ashuranero5721 I guess someone without depression could just be hanging out and having fun with their friends all the time rather than rather than accomplishing their goals. However, as someone who's had very few friends my entire life, I would say that spending time with friends is part of living life to its fullest (assuming they're good quality friends).

My dad told me one very important thing: Sometimes there's no point in over-analyzing the pros and cons, and you just have to stop thinking and just do it. It's rare that you lose motivation while doing something that you dread, so the best option is to just get up, get dressed and go do the thing without thinking.

These are all of the basic tips and tricks that everyone should know, but that are never explained properly in the tutorial.

People don't like hearing people complain when they have it better than them, especially on the internet. If you have depression, going on Reddit or any other chat-like social media is a bad idea imo.

The problem is that, no matter your level of depression, there’s ALWAYS going to be someone in the world who’s gonna be worse off. We should just accept that everyone suffers in their own way and stop making it a competition.

Buddha said that you could get a guy and solve his every problem, grant his every wish, and he'd still find a way to be unhappy and create more unfulfilled wishes. We get more sodium and more vitamins in one weekend than our ancestors would get in a month. Every day should feel amazing. It's only our minds imprisoning us.

"Free your mind and your ass will follow"

the scientific approach is that dopamine is the chemical of yearning,it motivates you,then rewards you with pleasure. if you have nothing to go after,your dopamine system crashes,and you suffer. A LOT. Also even though we are on the very community discussing these topics,might as well remember that you can also overload your dopamine system with instant/small effort and/or telegraphed gratification to the point where the only thing that makes you get out of bed is the stimulant,its how any form of addiction works.

"The secret of happiness, you see, is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less" - Socrates

schopenhauer talks about this

hi thanks for sharing that. I wanted to ask if you dont mind, how did you get over feeling like a shitty human being?

@@dylanr4903 hi, I had been in and off depression for like 5 years before that spiralinh down. About 5 years ago I went to a psychiatrist and started taking meds (after having heavy suicidal thoughts for like 5 mo ths) , I have been on therapy for the last 5 years and not everyday has been pretty. I feel like I finally got out of depression during november of last year. The main tool is therapy, the second is leaving ALL drugs and get rid of anchoring people (I stopped talking to half of my family and friends) and leaving unauthorized drugs. I used to smoke pot alone to calm down and get drunk a lot at parties, full stopped all that shit about 3 months after starting therapy. I stopped doing things that I didn't enjoy that weren't mandatory, too (like seeing my family). I met my current boyfriend a couple of weeks after I stopped drinking, he was on that same vibe. We still don't drink to this day, maybe in the last 5 years he has gotten 2 beers and I have gothen like 3 zips of different drinks to taste them. We supported each other, he got a little bit burn out (that kind of caretaker burnout) so now I'm supporting him more. I recommend researching about negative internal dialogue, I listened to people telling me that I was shitty. I gave them authority to do so and I repeated that all the time in my mind. Botomline, Everything has to do with getting to know yourself. I was not shitty, I had a ton of people telling me that, but now I see that I have a ton of value. I'm very patient when teaching, extremely kind and polite. I get angry, but never, ever mean..I'm fair. I know how to do a ton of stuff so I'm very handy, I know a ton of excel now (lol), I'm passionate and I'm loyal as f*. When I make mistakes I say I'm sorry. When I feel shitty I just repeat like a broken record that I made A mistake, and I look for ways to repair them... Just "the next steps". I hope this helps you. Btw, I learned how to sew after spending like 40 hours last week on that, lol. I'm still battling ADHD (that got diagnosed 6 months ago) and some obsessive behaviors, but life got easier. 5 years spent getting better, I'm confident that this is an investment for my future. If I live 40 years more I will live them in a much better shape than my 20's. Consistency is key!!

I have moments of feeling shitty interspersed with feeling worthy. But it doesn’t change depending on circumstances or people, the same people can make me feel good and on top of the world and worse the next day. When I connect with my emotions I feel okay but when I don’t, I feel empty and not in tune with anything. So I don’t know if I’m really not okay or if I imagine it.

@@ephemeral1052 @ephemeral it's very difficult ti overcome feeling shitty. I would recommend to have a diary or have an app to track how you feel. Sometimes we tend to look at things through the greyest lens possible and if you have evidence that you felt ok a day or two it helps to "integrate" (as calculus integrating) your previous experiences. Maybe you think your life is entirely shitty, but if you had 1 good day of 7 that's 14% of good days. Later you can increase it to more days. I tracked with an app how were my days and I remember june of 2017 that my days went from all bad to having one good day here and there. It takes time though. I'm dealing with some stuff, but having done the exercise of integrating what my entire life is has helped me to cope. I got two kinda bad diagnoses in the last 2 weeks and I felt really sad for days, like I would cry and felt like crying constantly. I knew that it was normal to feel that way because dude, how could I smile knowing I have 2 more conditions that will need constant medical attention. Life's "not fair" I told myself during those days. But, in reality a lot of people have these issues, but never go to the doctor and don't get to treat them. I went through my shitty week and now I can say that I cannot wait until I get my first treatment so I feel better already. I'm thankful to have found doctors that saw a fixable problem. I'm still a little bit bitter about the whole situation, but accepting whatever is happening and dealing with stuff that's actually under your control is the best strategy. I definitely can't do anything about having an autoimmune disease, severe asthma, ADHD and osteoarthritis, that stuff is part of me. They will never go away, I had just acceptes that my life was going to be filled with a lot of headaches and other complications due to my ostheoartritis and it turns out that there's hope.

@@Dimitris_Half You don't know what whining is. Go read a dictionary

But what made you call it "through the breach"?

@@deadinside8781 military analogy. The idea that to get where you need to be you must pass through a place of great danger, discomfort, or fear.

I think I had an easier time traveling when I was in my 20's than I do now in my 30's! I think some people become more fearful as they get older. I hope you're able to visit your family someday.

haha damn man rip

What game was this I wonder

@@soultheconfusing9563 csgo I reckon

Damn

It's Tekken 7 for anyone wondering what game it is.

Good analogy, and more often times then not we fail to see that each boat was at the very least a new experience, unlike are mundane life on the shore.

That was beautiful.

Holy shit. that was a powerful image. Are you a writer? I hope you're a writer.

good luck bro!

Thanks :)
