Credit to you for changing your life Si I have experienced depression myself, and it was really not easy but thankfully it didn't last too long. Keep the good work up 👏 🙏
Watching you allow your pain to bubble to the surface was moving, thought provoking and valuable to me for reasons I don't need to bore you with. You are right that not editing it was an important aspect here. Thank you for the video. I welcome your occasional appearances into my TH-cam feed.
Hey man, you're a legend for sharing this. Been following your profile for a while, really interesting content Simon! Keep it rolling. Looking forward to what comes out next.
Very powerful video pal. I think talking like this helps alot and even when you think it's done with the experience is always with you as is clear. Good on you for doing this and helping others. I hope it finds someone and helps. Positive vibes from England.
Cheers for this, the last few days I've found myself sinking back into this and haven't known what to do. This has given me something to work with, thanks.
Thank you Si for this, I’m trying. I’m seeing a van Sunday, environment change is instrumental in helping depression. Something as simple as replacing a wardrobe for a rail eased my depression. I think especially the thought of being in a bedroom stuck in the same place with nothing happening in life is what eats away at me. Rather it have wheels at the end of the day. New clouds, appreciating what mostly you cannot living in a large town. I Live very close to Reading, I’m tired of the suburban hell 9-5 soulless grind.
@@LiquidPixel__ I was the same with sitting in my bedroom doing nothing. It’s difficult because that’s what you want to do, but it’s the worst thing for your mental health. I’m loving having a home on wheels, every day can be a new location if you choose. I don’t like Reading myself tbh, pleased I moved.
Your videos are very honest. I stumbled on your channel recently and I'm hooked. I am also living free but slightly differently. Thank you for just being you and amazing! Super glad you are living your life free ❤
Hey Si, I left the original comment on the other video. Thanks so much for posting this. It was really moving and took guts to do, so hats off. I'll take some key lessons from this. So helpful 🙏🏽 peace & love. Hopefully one day we could meet on the road and could thank you in person 🤝 👊🏽
Thank you for Sharing. Im so happy for you Si. I really needed to hear this . I was on the verge of having a panic attack and this video has got me thinking about the things i can do to help myself out of this Peace out brah. Hi 5 from Cairns Queensland Australia ❤
@@usersomasutrin makes me happy knowing this, thank you for sharing. This is what I had hoped with sharing the video ❤️ Sending peace and happiness your way (and a high 5)
I can relate to this. Thinking back on depression, it feels like you are back there again, through remembering it and having to talk about it brings those heart wrenching, hopeless, feelings up again...and then you realise that you are not there in this moment. My experience of depression was (a minimum of) 20 years ago (as I went through depression for a number of years) and the way I make sure I don't go back there again, is as you say, get up, make myself move and physically change my surroundings as soon as I can, including anyone in it that is creating that initial feeling of possibly another journey into depression before it reaches that point again. That, in itself, can be high in risk, but I never want to go back to that again.
To anyone out there with depression, here are some things you can try. Nutrition: a poor diet is thought to be an important contributor, especially a lack of certain minerals. Do a search for that online. Next, spend as much time walking, cycling whatever in nature. Next, take up a cardio routine at least twice a week. Next, get off Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok, limit you TH-cam scrolling, and don't watch the news. Next, get into something that you will love: growing veg, photography, writing, whatever it is so long as it makes you feel good. Next, get away from people who abuse you. Next, sleep eight hours. Next, live and think a pure life. Lastly, fill your heart with warmth and help others.
This video proves I was right about you from the first thing I saw of you. You are an exceptional person. This video is unique and deserves to go viral. You can be VERY PROUD Simon ! Greets from Brussels Bruno
thx for the video, mental health is a hard thing to deal with and we all deal with it in some way big or small. being aware of mental health is a first step and then moving on to fix it.
I was on prescribed antidepressants for 2 years too. They did help to solve depression without changing way of life and work. But i did need to make changes in my life anyway after these years. Since way how i earn money/behave in my life- was the cause of that depression.
*Just going to put a little trigger warning here at the top of this comment as I will be honest about my own experiences with suicidal thoughts, if this is something that will cause you upset I ask that you refrain from reading my comment* Thakyou Si, this was really insightful. I'm almost there, I've made some of the same changes that you have mentioned over the past year and my outlook on life is getting better. I'm not all the way there yet but piece by piece I know things will be ok now, I've found hope again. I first experienced depression in my teens which intermittently reoccurred into adulthood. As a teenager I had no idea what was wrong with me. "Why can't I be happy like all the other kids?" was a question I remember asking myself time and time again. I think I'm a similar age to you (34) sadly our generation weren't given the language or tools to help us cope with poor mental health in school and thus a lot of men our age have had to deal with it without really being prepared for how damaging it can be. By the time I was 25 I had abandoned all hope and was suicidal for years and made several attempts to take my own life. Only to cause further damage to my mental and physical health. Thank goodness for the NHS and all the incredible nurses and doctors that saved me. More men need to express their vulnerabilities like this. When the tears came to your eyes I knew exactly how you felt. When we talk about these things it takes you back to that place and can be really tough to express without bringing up those old emotions and it can feel just as raw as it did when you were in the throws of it. Depression is traumatizing which is why it can be so hard to talk about. I'm so glad you've found your peace and wish you all the health and happiness that you deserve. To anyone reading this and feeling like I did. Don't give up, please. Life is tough because it's worth it.
Just saying..... You have support of family Friends And even your ex supported you after you split. When you have no friends and your family are not atall supportive...just say that you should stop feeling sorry for yourself etc. Then it is way harder to be strong and constructive, because it begs the question " what is wrong with me" And 'Am I a bad person"
Ohh 😢 thanks for sharing your story, we me and you getting through similar not the same but similar and I like to watch your channel as you helping me and motivating me. I'm glad you are happy now and can talk about past.
Interesting thinking. I looked at your profile as I was curious where your pain comes from. All of your videos are about death and destruction. I wish you peace.
You obviously know nothing about narcissism, there are plenty of videos out there about the condition. I was married to one and I can assure you he’s not a narcissist. No one is making you watch the videos, your free to go elsewhere, maybe your the NPD ( Narcissistic Personality Disorder) and feel the need to criticise and gaslight?

"freedom not fortune" is iconic, exactly how i plan to live life. 24 and needed to hear this as a reminder that my mindset is valid, thank you sir
100% agree, but the only way I can see to gaining freedom is through fortune?! Its so stressful
Good video Si. True what you said, charge the situation, and think positive. Glad you made it through
Thanks for sharing Si. Given me something to think about. Think you’re bang on. Much love brother. Peace 👍

How about savings? Is it easy to go for freedom when you were successful in earning a lot previously?
Fill the void - Find YOUR purpose.
Just saying.....
You have support of family
Friends
And even your ex supported you after you split.
When you have no friends and your family are not atall supportive...just say that you should stop feeling sorry for yourself etc.
Then it is way harder to be strong and constructive, because it begs the question " what is wrong with me"
And 'Am I a bad person"
Its all ai bs - everything trying to grab your attention and distract you from your goals - stay Focused everyone X
