amen brother.
Right in the feels
Extra cheesy feels I hope.
Hi Zack. After seeing your video it reminded myself of a situation I went through 5 years ago. One day out of the blue I suffered a major depression event and wanted to end my life. After being diagnosed with chronic depression and anxiety by my doctor I have been on anti-depressants and counseling which helped. It to cost me my job and later my marriage. I still suffer every now and then. I have a better understanding of it and know what to look out for. From a professional in the IT industry and looking forward to my dream IT job which I start in a few weeks, I'd like to say thanks for all your video's you put out. It is great to see someone that is passionate about their work. For me to it was a contributing help in me seeking a new role for something I wanted to do for a long time. Thanks for inspiration.
I'm sorry that you also had to go through things like that. I'm glad though that you are able to see through some of the signs and are seeking help.
I am even more happy that you are still out there working in a field that you love! That is always great to hear!
Stay strong and keep on nerding!
this took a lot of courage to even think about making... thanks man, it really helps to know even a well adjusted man such as yourself has had a tough history but still got through it...
Zack I had no idea that you were struggle with these problems. As awesome of a personality as you have and as much inspiration as you have given me to keep seeking my niche in the I.T. industry, you would have been the last person I would have thought to have had this problem. As for myself, I suffer from a mild form of anxiety. This has actually cost me a job from a computer repair store because the more anxious I'd get about losing my job, the more I messed up. I was finally let go and told that I should pursue a different industry as my attention to detail is just horrible. Anxiety literally takes my focus away. When I am not suffering from anxiety, I am focused and excel and my attention to detail is spot on. Great video and just know that I appreciate your videos all the way up here in Alaska.
Joseph,
Thank you for the kind words first of all, I do greatly appreciate that!
I will do more videos on topics that will relate to helping you out with the anxiety side of things with your job because that is extremely important and you shouldn't feel that way. Heck I'd love to just do more videos very similar to this one in general and tie it in with I.T. somehow, so I'll see what I can do.
I felt that same way though in my first few jobs. I screwed up all the time and got super paranoid about losing my job because I jacked something up. It never did happen though, I would just own up to my mistakes and explain the situation, which is what you will need to try and focus on I feel like. I will do more videos on this though!
Hang in there and I promise it'll get better!
Thank you and I look forward to more videos from you.
This video hit me right in the feels for multiple reasons. First, because you were a close friend of mine during this period of your life and I wish I had known more about what you were dealing with so I could've been a more supportive friend. I loved how you talked about how if you're still asking yourself 'what if?', things can and will get better. If you have hope, things will get better. I think you're a perfect example of how even someone who is so depressed still has their true selves inside. Despite you going through all of this, you still took me under your wing and taught me the ways of web and programming and put me on a trajectory that would forever change my life, and for that, I'll always be grateful to you. The real you, the good caring natured Zac, was still there. Secondly, this kicked me right in the feels because I've dealt with depression and anxiety my entire life, and I was diagnosed Bipolar II a couple years ago. So I know what the struggle feels like. Love you buddy
I never knew you went through and are living with Depression. I feel like more and more these days, people are being diagnosed with a mental illness, particularly depression and anxiety. Thank you for sharing your story with us, helping spread hope, positivity and awareness. I'd love to know how you got out of that extreme depression and started working.
This is true. No problem for sharing and spreading awareness.
I will be doing a follow up video soon hopefully. What I can tell you about my past with specifically what I dealt with was that I would have a good month or two where I worked and had some pretty fortunate opportunities where I could work from home and/or work for people that I knew. I also developed websites for a long time and made a living doing that for quite a while.
Great video. I hope you are doing better now. Love your videos, I learn so much from them.
I have a couple of friends that went through depression and their life drastically changed by the food they eliminated. They eliminated wheat/carbs, sugar, dairy, processed foods, and soda. They either went the Keto or Carnivore diet route. They say that they feel like brand new people. Food plays a major role in mental health but it is never looked at for its contribution to depression/anxiety. Take care.
Thanks for being so transparent about your journey. I think its difficult for us men to discuss, let alone admit, that we may have a mental issue. Its when men like yourself have the courage to speak up and out about our struggles that the rest of us are encouraged. Your courage is literally imparted to others by your words and actions. I know that you are not looking for a pat on the back or accolades but again thanks for the honesty. It is much appreciated. Keep up the great work.
Hope this blesses the folks that needed to hear it.
I have been struggling with depression for 12+ years, i've had to deal with thoughts of suicide almost daily. The sad part is, no one around me knows what i'm going through. Most days i lay in bed and ask myself if life is even worth living. It has affected every aspect of my life and i have been dealing with it alone all these years. Everyday is a new struggle.
great video sir ..
i don't understand how you talk about it and keep a straight face . I can't do that I just crack up inside
Years and years of dealing with it. You get to a point where you can hide everything.
I just want to say that please do not think that you are sick if you are depressed and please don't fall to any doctor who wants you to swallow some meds to numb your feelings, You are ok and I'm in the same way. Nobody wants to hire me in the thing which I like the IT field it's really bad to feel refused all the time for 5 years. Yes, I'm not the best, I'm doing my best. but it's hard. but anyway don't let anyone make you believe that you are sick. or anything like that. you are ok. and about your Zack. the moment when you just changed I believe that our bodies changed and look at the things differently it just we don't want to see anyone and we don't want to talk to anyone. it just the way it is, this is how we grow up and I've been to many doctors. they don't actually care especially those who want you to take meds. I urge anyone if you want to seek help, then see a clinical psychologist not a psychiatric. wish you all the best.
Amazing video.
Thank you.
Dude... This is so wrong... Watching this video was like some sort of bad dejavu joke to me... for real... it felt like a mirror talking to me in a really disturbing way... I had a really bad experience six years ago that blew up my life and all the plans I had for it... and I could not handle it cause I was not mature enough and did not reach for help when I had to, things went out of control... I droped college and all my projects... I just merge with my computer and disconnected from the real world, I just did not want to know anything and barely did things to get money to have the minimun resources to keep "living" if you can call living to what I did that time... In repetitive times I tried to stand up and move forward, but I lack a true reason, a real and honest motive to do so, I was not selfish enough to live for myself and only myself, and my family seemed to be fine, so I did not care for that part neither... A year ago I ment to make a change cause I know my potential and what I can do, but in the end it all resumes into how you good you feel with yourself, people say that to be able to love someone else you need to love your self first, but this is as relative as the movement and life themselves... It is weird cause I consider myself a really keen and intuitive person, but I just found out that trying to reach that very motive without giving up, should be enough reason to keep going before reaching the conclusion that the world, the society and it rules, are f**king broken and that there's no hope for them... I mean... We humans are, stupid, selfish and unsteady... We just gotta deal with that. There's none perfect and we all make mistakes... But it seems the longer you think you comprehend the things, the easier it is to get depressed... So... You found the "what if...", I found the "there has to be..." but we are faces of the same coin... I was glad about your content, now I am even more interested in what you have to say and offer to the world... I am happy I found this channel, mate. My honest thanks, I am having hopes that you can be some sort of guidance to me... Take care, man! Thanks!
Stay strong brother. Things will get better. I am nothing like I was years and years ago.
Well, that's what I like to think. "There has to be something worth...", right? Let's have some fun while we look for it. xD Besides, I am finally enjoying everything I am doing right now and the changes and goals I am taking. And somehow it's conforting the fact that there's someone that has been through almost the same situation, that chose a path similar to the one I am taking and is in a better place right now. It's really encouraging.
I have depression and lack energy. Should i work in IT?
You should keep and try to busy yourself with excersice and activity.
Can Agree with what Sid said.
In my opinion if you are going to say " I have depression, should I do THIS..." you are setting yourself up for failure. This is just coming from personal experience though because I did this to myself all the time and set myself up for failure many of times because I doubted myself or used being depressed as a way to cope with potential failure.
Here's what I would tell you. If you really want to do anything in your life, if you think about doing something night after night, day after day and it's something that you are finding yourself constantly thinking about, you will eventually do it. You will find a way to get around the depression and not that stand in your way.
Take small steps to get where you want to be. With depression every day can feel like an eternity. Small steps turn into leaps.
