dealing with anxiety and depression is such an exhausting mental state; the fear of taking medications because of with-drawls and bad side effects. Once you deal with anxiety, your brain is racing 100x till it gets tired and now you're depressed. Your message validates that i need more help and support..now i want to cry lol.
I've really missed these,, less than thirty minutes in and I'm sobbing lmao. Thank you fr for sharing so much of your journey with us. You absolutely don't have to, I'd still be here if you did something completely different, but I really appreciate your openness and honesty. I've been on and off thinking about seeing a therapist for years, but never actually followed through. As someone who studies social work and has worked with at risk teens in the past, i know the science and the benefits and all that but when it comes to myself (and only myself) i still have such a big stigma around getting help and medication. I thought i was crazy for that but it's so relieving to hear I'm not the only one struggling to get over that.
This episode reminded me to take care of myself and that I'm doing better than before. Your relationship with yourself is beautiful,one thing about you is you KNOW how to be inspiring in an authentic way to you. You seriously rock and have a beautiful heart.I will forever remember you, you're amazing. Thank you 100x for your wisdom tarek,wish u a rich,healthy and a long beautiful life❤❤❤
Thank you, I feel and just realize I have been in a long of depression from my early years of age 6 till now 24. I try to hind it, or hind myself, run away from it all, aggressively work to the bone, or tell myself I’m just lazy and can’t get my life together. I’m behind. Thanks to God, Jesus, thanks to you. There is hope, I will get help,and I will live again.
Tarek, you are truly using the highest form of your transformative Scorpionic energy. A true death, rebirth, and transformation. Yess!! Literally processing and working through all of the intense trauma that’s occurred to me over my life. Whew!
Hey Tarek I love how much growth you’ve had. Always remember we’ll never be perfect and that’s what makes us beautiful as humans…to be lovable with our flaws and all. I love you Tarek you’re lovable…we love you ❤
Thank you for being so transparent!! This was like being in the belly of your anxiety and depression, fighting and winning. It helped me to understand me more; acknowledging the stigma. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! I love you Tarek.
Whew Tarek! I resonated with soooo much of your story. Thank you so much for sharing! Especially your experience with medication. I’ve always been resistant to it, but after listening to you I realize I might need to explore that option. All with the intention and understanding that it’s okay to receive help ❤
Hey There! I love this and I’m so glad to see your vulnerable side and this is what people need especially our black culture. So thank you for sharing your story with us. It means a lot to me. 🥹🥰❤️🙏🏾
Tarek, can you please make a separate video about adhd and the ways it has impacted you? How have you dealt with it? Adhd plays a big factor and being afraid to go back to school :(
Tarek, I LOVE YOU. i've missed you so much and genuinely have been praying for your well being. your light is so bright and you speak so eloquently in a way that just directly gets the message across. forever going to support you!!
Oh! Glad to see you back! And glad to know you are feeling good and overcoming the stigma about mental health and asking for help. I don't want to shift the general video idea into biopolitics (well, maybe I do, a little), however, I think that many of the things you named in the video sounds pretty systemic to me. To name some: - Feeling anxiety and depression - Feeling ashamed because of anxiety and depression - Feeling like a failure for not overcoming this yourself (like "you are not working hard enough") I don't want this to sound the wrong way (i dont want my comment to sound invalidating in any form), my idea here is that a lot of these three items above are increasingly common (as side note, you named that today is more common than ever being diagnosed with ADHD) because of the way we live. Hyper-productivity and individualism play a big role in making us think that we have the power to "achieve all our goals" but, at the same time, we are responsible for everything that goes wrong, because "we didn't work hard enough". Once again, I don't want to turn this into a "it's not you, it's the system" or invalidate your experience in any way. On the contrary, I think that your authentic self, the "real you" is the one that could overcome the mental health stigma, and, equally important, the "don't ask for help" stigma... Not only with mental health professional but also with your family. Hope you keep doing well! :)
I love you. And appreciate every comment you share on my videos over the years. What’s your name? I hope to meet you on my book tour when it happens in the future !
@@TarekAli Hello Tarek! Thank you so much for your comment :) I'm Osvaldo, and I started to follow your channel a couple years ago. At that time, your thoughts on body insecurity and validation addiction were the catalyzer I needed to start my own mental health and growth journey. Equally important and encouraging was reading the amazing comments in all your videos. Lots of people telling their own experiences and reminding me that we are not the only ones going through similar stuff. Even when I'm not sure we'll ever meet (I'm a simple software developer from Argentina and it has been ages since I've been to LA) I'm 100% sure I'll get your book and share my thoughts about it as I usually do with your videos. Take care!
" YOU DESERVE HELP YOU DESERVE SUPPORT YOU CAN HAVE SUPPORT " I needed to hear this so bad I’m still learning how to ask for help and it’s such a journey but what a great reminder 🤍
