      Not trying to devalue your experience at all. I know the struggle well. For me, I feel like a lot of people do care, and I know they care.
      The issue for me, is that friends and family can't really help, because they don't have the training that a good therapist has. So, the ways they do show up, aren't enough, still.
      Good therapists are generally skilled in active listening, knowing when to ask questions, and guides you in an agreed upon direction. While also being receptive to your feedback.
      I have had very experience with therapy, but the good fits don't seem to grow on trees. I do find it infuriating how difficult it is to find help, both financially, and "fit-wise". Both for my own sake, and the sake of others.

But again in 2022 I started feeling lost and sad. Pls go and see a therapist! As early as possible. Unfortunately some people like me cannot afford a therapist, I would like to say to those people you are not alone. Just do a one good thing for your mind or body like just go for a walk or talk to friend, there are gonna be days you will feel like shit and wanted to give up at that moment look at the beautiful things in life. See your past as a lesson, pls do remember that you matter you are powerful you are gonna be okay really soon.

    I remember when I was really unhappy with my previous job. Though I was really good at it, I didn’t feel appreciated, almost exploited. There was none of my colleagues that I felt connected enough to share my unhappiness. On weekends, I would stay in bed but never felt that I have recovered. It took roughly 1,5 years until I was able to get back to my old job. I’m feeling I’m turning into myself again. Sometimes it’s the environment that’s toxic and needs to be changed for one’s mental health. I made it through without psychological help because I knew the source of it and I had an exit plan to leave the job I hated

      I love my profession. But the system is utter crap, so I can’t do it. I don’t have the money or the friends with benefits to do anything else. And, on top of everything else, people with or without psychology degrees tell me that I choose my profession because I lack self-confidence to do something ‘loftier’. On top of me not being able to pay the bills, my own self is continually discredited and despised.
      Then everyone says ‘You’re depressed’. I wonder why. This world is wrong. Fuck it.

Some days I don’t know if I should keep going. I feel like a burden on society because I don’t think I will ever be able to have a job. And I haven’t had any friends for years, social interactions are too draining. So I really don’t know why I exist. I didn’t even finish school.. and I’m 20+. It’s embarassing.

    My step father is on hospice care, liver failure and type 1 diabetes.. it's absolutely heart wretching to see this once strong man now a withered corpose. It's so unfair, he was supposed to retire enjoy a decade or two doing things he enjoys but now we are unsure of how many months or even weeks he has left, it's so hard he was my rock, he cared so much for his family and worked hard all his life. This is absolutely the hardest thing and my mind is protecting me by thinking none of this is real, that we are just actors in some play, it's so unreal.
    We have care workers helping us and have resources available too but nothing can truly take away the hurt and the pain, once he finally has his rest then the healing can truly start for all our family. His suffering should come to an end and peacefully, he shouldn't have to live like this everyday.

Sometimes instead of using that money for a session, you can buy 4 things that can give you joy for a few days or weeks or make memories for life. That will not solve all underlying issues but it is also a good thing if you see.

    I have suffered from life long depression and anxiety so your videos always hit home to me. Thank you for posting. Not only are you showing others what warning signs to look for in friends and family, but are also showing others that feeling this way isn't normal and you should follow up with your doctor or a therapist. Even if you have no family or friends, someone out there cares for you and wants you to get better. There is hope!!

    I appreciate you Doc. Thank you for bringing a light to "normal" people. We all get overwhelmed sometimes. Nobody is immune to the effects of this traumatic disease that we call "life". Even generally balanced and secure people need encouragement. No one is an island. Your videos do a great job of helping people who might not understand that anxiety being the new normal isn't OK. I love the backing track. It's very upbeat and motivating. Nice pick! 😊

Go to a river, you dont need to be Doing an activity, just enjoy what is in front of you, be grateful to the Lord for the beauty you get to see. You have eyes that see, ears that can hear, legs that can take you places, hands that can hold and hug and help others. The things we have and take for granted are the things many others would do so much to have in our place. Use those things to enjoy life.

      @Hi_Kayla letting her know that you are there for her anytime she wants to talk and calling to check in on her to see how she is doing and stuff like that is helping her. You can only do so much for someone else's mental health.
      The bulk of the work to be done is on her.
      If she doesn't get vulnerable in her therapy sessions then she hasn't felt safe enough yet to be able to open up on that level and if she not able to open up for a while, she should probably change to another therapist.
      All the best to your friend and am sure you are being a good friend.

    These signs have a friend of mine and she really needs help.
    But she won't take any help because she thinks it doesn't work. Now she has an upcoming procedure for her fingers (she has several cramps and pain in her fingers) but the doctors won't let her because it takes a lot of mental strength, which she doesn't have. So now the doctors send her to get mental help. And she is already demotivated because she thinks: if it didn't work 2 years ago, why will it help now?
    And I give her all the support she needs! But it's difficult to motivate someone, with that kind of mindset. :(
