I understand what you mean and what others mean, like honestly I don't like my self and it just makes me not to take care of my self, maybe because I think that my self doesn't deserve it in a way if that makes sense, so the tiniest things will be hard such as showering, eating, drinking enough water and just doing daily things would be hard because I usually don't have to motivation, energy or the "okayness" feeling. I have some mental illnesses and take lexapro to help but it's just hard, and I wish it was a little easier to like my self, I'm just always in a constant state of "I want to be someone else" I know people might not care but I'm just saying this because I can relate to you Nate, and I hope you feel better soon!💖
I really deeply appreciate you taking the time to share here, thank you! I don't know if you follow her, but check out the holistic psychologist, especially her future self journal, that's been helping me a lot!
Nate Maingard your so sweet! thanks so much, can’t believe it’s been 2 years! I hope you’ve grown as a person, hope you are doing better dude🌸thank you and all the love
that makes me happy to hear that☺️I’ve been a mess honestly, although I appreciate you for asking. I hope I don’t sound too negative but I’ve been taking care of the house, kids and my sick mom for the pass 2 months. She went to the hospital but is now home but it was so traumatizing honestlyyy and i won’t get into much details to like gore anyone but it was just awful - to just see somebody so weak and unable to do anything like it’s just done something to me and I don’t know how to fix it. I’ve told my therapist since November I think that my depression is getting worse and it is. He just tells me now that I’ve been sounding more upset than usual - no fucking shit 🤦🏾♀️ and it’s like the mood where I don’t want medicines, hospital, therapy, groups, just anything like I’m just so tired and it won’t stop. I don’t know what I’ll do, do you have any advice? 💕
@@lovehugs1269 Firstly, thank you for sharing your challenges so courageously, what you are going through sounds unimaginably challenging and overwhelming. I wish I could give you a simple answer and make it all better. One thing I do know is this too shall pass. As dark as it gets, you will eventually move through this. I'm glad you're going to therapy, that's a huge thing, keep it up! Things which have helped me have been breathwork, therapy, kundalini yoga, meditation, eating wholefoods and microdosing psilocybin. I can't tell you what you should or shouldn't do, all I know is that I can see that you are an amazing human and you will get through this!
It's cold out here now, but I spent my summer taking 15 minute walks around a few blocks to clear my head and take better care of myself. I noticed it really changed the way I felt just by seeing something other than the inside of my house during the day.
Been there, done that... I know exactly what you feel like... But i guess finding a great friend to do things with is the best! Me and my best friend bought tickets to go swimming few days a week. Take a walk with music or something else to listen too and then reward yourself with a movie or something! you can do it! Sending loads of Love! ^^
Thank you so much for sharing and your total honesty... I go through similar cycles of lack of self-care. I don't have any suggestions at moment except to say you are not alone in this. Just knowing that others experience the same struggles helps motivate me to find solutions. In my the meanwhile, cheering you on Nate! 👍
hope you'll feel better soon. sending my virtual hugs on you! 😉 you're not a crap, you're talented, loved and important. Don't hate yourself, I love you and I will always pray for you!
I feel that my friend always stay positive and remember that all these words can always be put into a song 👍 making music and excersise and healthy food will make you feel better and will also help prevent any negitive thoughts you have about anything, remember that everything happens for a reason and there's something positive to look at in every situation. Much love nate your awesome bro I hope this message helps you and whoever needed to hear these words
Thank you for making this video! I know you didn't come up with a solution but I am going through the exact same thing right now and it's nice to know I'm not alone. I hope that you can snap out of this funk and thank YOU for existing!
I'm sorry you're going through this right now too, brother. I've been working through the same thing of trying to understand why I struggle so much with caring for myself, especially when - like you said as well - I feel so good when I actually do! If I figure out some answers, I'll share them with you, and I hope you'll do likewise. In the meantime, absorb the love and care of those around you, you deserve so much good, Nate.
knew u randomly from twitter for a long time ago. As long as I know, u are a very humble person. Me too, I have a really hard time lately. I give time to myself and now I start to appreciate myself. Do everything that makes u happy but stay positive. Keep your head up dude. Maybe it's weird for a stranger gives advice for another stranger haha.. but consider it as your fans giving an advice. I do love your music
I just discovered your channel here on TH-cam. I love these blogs because you're so honest and candid about what you're going through, which is something that a lot of us have a hard time with. I also love how you look deeper to see what the real problem is. I can totally relate to what you're going through. I hope everything goes well for you and that the pain goes away. Please keep us informed. You definitely have our support and we care about you. Feel better, Nate.
hey man, hold on, the things'll be better. Seriously something will happen with you and will change your life. Stand by me for everything. I like your musics. A fan from Brazil.
Keep on keepin' on my friend... It seems creative-types are often prone to these bouts of sadness with no real reason springing to mind. You are on a wonderful journey though and at times we need feel the pain to understand the joy. Best of luck my friend :-)
sending love to you and yours Nate this really hits home in such a huge way thank you for sharing and I hope you feel better soon. remember sometimes there aren't any answers. something you just have to do what ever comes to you in that moment. thank you for reminding me that it's hard to be depressed when one is feeling grateful. Self care is one of the biggest obstacles with all of th negative energy swirling around right now. even the strong ones are not able to keep it from getting in and it takes a huge toll you're not all of these negative things !!!!!! I think this video was musical in that you normally send messages out to others but this was your soul sending message to yourself. you even said "I even enjoy it once I actually do the yoga!!!!" it's just getting there that is the hard part. I wish we could all pass our extra motivation onto others....Oh but we do ! through music !!!!! but remeber....you can't feel well enough to make the music and do what you're here on earth to do unless you take care of YOU first !! love rainbows and light to you your family and sweet one. hope you feel better soon because your music is truly inspirational
I have depression. I can’t brush my teeth anymore or shower regularly. It’s so bad and I know it but I can’t stop it. I force myself to every so often but it’s not like when I was younger and it was just natural. I spend a lot of nights just crying for no reason.
Great sharing, Nate. Thanks. Focus on the good feelings you get from taking care of yourself. Don't worry about the times you feel like you're not taking care of yourself. Find something really, really small that shows you that you are taking care of yourself and do it everyday for a month. Find out what you are grateful for. I have perpetual neck problems and overcame really bad back pain this year that was a result of me not doing my yoga and sitting too much. It can be really hard to look forward. Love your videos and your songs, good fortune to you!
Beautiful, beautiful Nate, Nurture those blessings that are all around you, savor them as if they are a wonderful garden that you get to care for, and how you care for them is through impeccable, luxurious self-care. What makes you feel good? "Exercise" you say? then do your best to enjoy it thoroughly. Not just "do it" cuz you have to, but thoroughly, playfully, ecstatically enjoy it. How about simply dancing for 30min. to your favorite music - how fun would that be? and it would totally exercise your body. Just turn the music on and start moving. One of those amazing gifts and blessings that you did not mention is your amazing body (and I've seen your videos - wink!). It is the ONLY conduit that you have to express yourself and ONLY avenue that you have to connect with those people around you and savor the blessings that come your way. Your body is like any one of your guitars. You wouldn't leave any of them out in the rain or neglect them, would you? Neither should you neglect the one true instrument - your body. Yes, it sounds like you have some self-deprecating tendencies (in this society, who can avoid them?). They are probably significant enough to get some therapy about them, but ultimately, shift your thinking away from the negative, turn the music on and dance it out, brother, You're closer to solving your problem than you think. Dance away.... YOU are worth it. Your career is worth it. Those you love and connect with are worth it. Thanks for reading this yammering on...
This sounds really nice and mean at the same time but from a philosophical point of view I feel like its our job to have those feelings because everyone will go through things like that just in different degrees of intensity but I feel like sometimes, like our lives are not capable of happening with out sadness
Nate! Physical health is so important! I'm in a similar rut myself at the moment, so it's good (bad?) to hear I'm not alone. I often find that at the bottom of the spiral things move very slowly. It can be very difficult to garner enough motivation to do even a small amount of physical exercise. I just like to remind myself that everything is tied together, and that every small step helps. Drink more water, less caffeine (switch to tea instead of coffee). Sleep a little more, and stretch and do relaxing things in the evening. Get your heart rate up high at least once a day (skipping is a really easy way, or go for a power walk). Take a B-Complex vitamin with a meal once a day. Meditate for just 5 or 10 minutes and resound a sense of inner peace, even for a brief moment. Just writing this out is actually helping me too, so thanks for posting this :).
Hope you feel better soon 🙏🏻 I think that acknowledging what you're doing wrong is half way to the solution, so try not to feel bad about yourself we all have those bad days I think it's great that you care about the people around you , good luck with your coming shows 👍🏻👍🏻
Nate, It is what is known in the medical field as "Mood Disorder". I am 55 years old and didn't even realize I had it until this past year. Then looking back over my life, I could suddenly remember the low times and how I would "Talk myself" out of them. This episode started 6 - 10 years ago and I still haven't talked myself out of it. I am doing better with medication and therapy. Best of luck in your search for "peace and understanding" within.
Nate, I followed you from Twitter as that is where I saw the link. Since we can't share pictures here I want you to know that I have sent you a few pictures of two years worth of physical therapy and medical appointments of mine that I have been battling in order to show how I can understand and sympathize completely. Overcoming Obstacles, when it comes to health, is the hardest thing to put up with. The worst part is believing a doctor can help you but what really works is just having desire to help yourself. Do this by, getting up everyday wanting to make it a good day, then do what ever is necessary to make it happen. PS ~ Don't let the Rx side affects eat at you. Peace , Beth
Ain't Nunurbz Hi. I hope things are better. Have you tried chiropractic care? I've seen videos on TH-cam on how that's helped people. I went to a chiropractor for minor issues and was helped.

I JUST FEEL THIS WHAT U GOING TRUE..IS A HEALING YOURNEY.. U WILL KNOW THE DAY ITT WILL BE REVEAL TO U..U WOULD TELL YOURSELF..... WOW.. ITT WAS WORTH EVERY BIT.. STAY KIND.. EVERYTHING WILL COME BACK IN GOOD TIME!! HIS TIME
I know how you feel, except I'm different I've been dealing with major depression which has lead me to not taking care of myself ( like not showering and stuff like that ) which is really personal for me to share because most people just assume I'm lazy and a bum, but it's not like that. I've tried really hard and i just can't seem to live my life anymore I've already tried taking my life several times because of it. I just don't know what else to do.
I don't know your lifestyle so it is hard to say for sure, but we as a people have a tendency of spoiling ourselves. We think that the short term joys out-way the long term happiness. I too have to struggle with the onslaught of back and neck issues and body pains that could never be understood by those that have not experienced it. Since "85" I have been struggling with it my self. Trying to keep my head above water. I tell people I am drowning, only to be ignored because they think it can't be that bad. I've looked in the mirror and thought I was hurting the people around me, keeping them from living the life they want to live. I've wondered, "WHY"? Why should I keep going on like this? Well, after all those years, I found that it was the "pit" I needed, to learn what I needed to learn. I have learned to listen. I have learned to listen to what God, Yahuweh was telling me. I have learned to ask Him to help me out of that pit and to walk with me. I have learned that without pain and sadness, one never knows true relief and happiness. The trials in our experience of this thing we call life, lead us to better understanding. I pray you get through the hard times and can make it through the pain. The rewards I have been given have made it all worth while. I have been blessed, and my bad back was a major part of that happening. Don't distress, things that seem unobtainable are only unobtainable to those who give up.
Those that are caring people to others rarely look after themselves. Can connect to this, meditation for an hour is really good, breathing which you know from yoga helps. Pain can be crippling, lovely people often forget to look after themselves! fact. Warm water with local honey and cider vinegar, vit B2 helped with brain fog, first thing in morning. I'm random and ramble too, so totally understand. Don't keep feeding negative words to yourself helps, don't beat yourself up because you didn't do something, if you are being creative it often means we forget about the 'real' world!!!
I currently take natural mood enhancers to combat a lot of the "meh" I end up feeling over the course of time in order to avoid truly detrimental thoughts. I struggle with "the D-word," and it can be difficult to stay positive or motivated on the regular basis. Goal setting can be tough but asking your family to help keep you accountable isn't a bad thing. They are there to help you. If you start off keeping up in small ways (at least stretching once a week) then you can build from that. Tbe trick is that once it becomes routine it'll just be a habit and you'll reap the benefits like there's no tomorrow.
Nate Maingard I am taking Sam-E by NatureMade. it comes in a 200mg[24 cnt?] or 400mg[36 cnt] dose and it helps with joint health too. I also take Vitamin D and B12 to help with my energy levels because that's important too (I have a deficiency with the first one, but it might help you to take them).
I connected with you through twitter too. It seems that you do not take care of yourself because you are not so self-centered. You know "It's not about you." Own the word "Charity" and make it the biggest part of your world. Do unto others what you wish them to do for you. Be in service to others and soon you will be the happiest, pain free and most loving person you know. You will shine.
That takes a lot to tell other people how u feel. I'm also feeling back pain and i haven't motivated myself to do stretches even tho I know i should. How did you end up in south Africa?
well... you know? I always had found a solution to my soul problems in music and... I don't know but always my questions are answered just with a little bit of melodies. I suggest you to think about find yourself, take a little time only for you, nobody else and you'll see... sorry for my bad English (I'm still learning 😅) big hugs!!
Hi Nate! :o) Sorry you're being tested so much now. Unfortunately, it's very common for those with depression to not take care of themselves. Just part of the illness. I deal with it daily. It's a real slog. Up. Down. Up. Down. Up. Down. Forever! Ugh. Bleh. **spits** LOL. Totally sucks!!! Just gotta keep picking yourself up and LIVE another day. Not maintaining yourself only makes it harder to get back where you were, so it's better to just not let things go. I'm presently climbing out of a depression hole, due to health issues, and it ain't fun - it ain't pretty. **slump** Health issues on top of depression just really Really REALLY sucks! It gives depression so much damn power, as if depression does not already have enough freaking power. **sigh** I know for sure that eating healthy is one of the best defences against depression. Green Tea is like magic for me in keeping depression from getting a grip on me. And if/when depression does start to take hold, Green Tea loosens its grip and helps me break free. I drink 4-8 cups of Green Tea a day! Drinking some right now. :-D Just hang in there man. Keep fighting. You are certainly not alone. Thanks for sharing. It helps all of us who struggle. I'm keeping you in my heart and prayers. **hug** God bless you and yours. And now, having "spoke" with you, I'm going to do some push-ups! Heh-heh ;-)
You're welcome. We are in it together. Definitely NOT alone. We can make it. One day at a time. In it to win it, my friend :-D ...or at least not hit every one of those damn branches on the way down. ROFL. May 2017 have a lot less branches. Heh-heh.
What you need to do,Is find someone to motivate you. Find someone who likes to do Yoga, or stretching with you. Of course I can give advice,but I can't follow through with my advice.
im glad your are a better person and your life is blessed but damn im never blessed my life sucks ass i have nothing going for my self so why should i be alive right now
I'm currently going through the same thing and trying to take care of myself more consistently. Thank you for posting. Praying and cheering you on.
I love you, thank you Finn

I don't know your lifestyle so it is hard to say for sure, but we as a people have a tendency of spoiling ourselves. We think that the short term joys out-way the long term happiness. I too have to struggle with the onslaught of back and neck issues and body pains that could never be understood by those that have not experienced it. Since "85" I have been struggling with it my self. Trying to keep my head above water. I tell people I am drowning, only to be ignored because they think it can't be that bad. I've looked in the mirror and thought I was hurting the people around me, keeping them from living the life they want to live. I've wondered, "WHY"? Why should I keep going on like this?
Well, after all those years, I found that it was the "pit" I needed, to learn what I needed to learn. I have learned to listen. I have learned to listen to what God, Yahuweh was telling me. I have learned to ask Him to help me out of that pit and to walk with me. I have learned that without pain and sadness, one never knows true relief and happiness. The trials in our experience of this thing we call life, lead us to better understanding. I pray you get through the hard times and can make it through the pain. The rewards I have been given have made it all worth while. I have been blessed, and my bad back was a major part of that happening. Don't distress, things that seem unobtainable are only unobtainable to those who give up.
P Kempen YES! Soooooo sooooo true and value comment
I go through those phases too. Wish I could understand as well. Sending you the best wishes to get you back into a good space. Hugs! ~Elizabeth
Sending healing vibes your way.
Those that are caring people to others rarely look after themselves. Can connect to this, meditation for an hour is really good, breathing which you know from yoga helps. Pain can be crippling, lovely people often forget to look after themselves! fact. Warm water with local honey and cider vinegar, vit B2 helped with brain fog, first thing in morning. I'm random and ramble too, so totally understand. Don't keep feeding negative words to yourself helps, don't beat yourself up because you didn't do something, if you are being creative it often means we forget about the 'real' world!!!
Nate.. love how real you are with everything.. its so inspiring...
I currently take natural mood enhancers to combat a lot of the "meh" I end up feeling over the course of time in order to avoid truly detrimental thoughts. I struggle with "the D-word," and it can be difficult to stay positive or motivated on the regular basis.
Goal setting can be tough but asking your family to help keep you accountable isn't a bad thing. They are there to help you. If you start off keeping up in small ways (at least stretching once a week) then you can build from that. Tbe trick is that once it becomes routine it'll just be a habit and you'll reap the benefits like there's no tomorrow.
Nate Maingard I am taking Sam-E by NatureMade. it comes in a 200mg[24 cnt?] or 400mg[36 cnt] dose and it helps with joint health too. I also take Vitamin D and B12 to help with my energy levels because that's important too (I have a deficiency with the first one, but it might help you to take them).
I connected with you through twitter too. It seems that you do not take care of yourself because you are not so self-centered. You know "It's not about you." Own the word "Charity" and make it the biggest part of your world. Do unto others what you wish them to do for you. Be in service to others and soon you will be the happiest, pain free and most loving person you know. You will shine.
Sending care and understanding😌😌
Always welcome
That takes a lot to tell other people how u feel. I'm also feeling back pain and i haven't motivated myself to do stretches even tho I know i should. How did you end up in south Africa?
I’m from South Africa
stay strong bro
same dude i think we're depressed in a major way that requires medication or an extreme change in our mental states
Experiencing not wanting to take care of myself at the moment and figuring it out in a push and pull manner
Thank you for sharing. I feel you. What are you trying so far to shift the self care challenges?
I don-t even brush my teeth.
Sending you blessings, wishing for light to return to your eyes and world
well... you know? I always had found a solution to my soul problems in music and... I don't know but always my questions are answered just with a little bit of melodies. I suggest you to think about find yourself, take a little time only for you, nobody else and you'll see... sorry for my bad English (I'm still learning 😅) big hugs!!
Hi Nate! :o) Sorry you're being tested so much now. Unfortunately, it's very common for those with depression to not take care of themselves. Just part of the illness. I deal with it daily. It's a real slog. Up. Down. Up. Down. Up. Down. Forever! Ugh. Bleh. **spits** LOL. Totally sucks!!! Just gotta keep picking yourself up and LIVE another day. Not maintaining yourself only makes it harder to get back where you were, so it's better to just not let things go. I'm presently climbing out of a depression hole, due to health issues, and it ain't fun - it ain't pretty. **slump** Health issues on top of depression just really Really REALLY sucks! It gives depression so much damn power, as if depression does not already have enough freaking power. **sigh** I know for sure that eating healthy is one of the best defences against depression. Green Tea is like magic for me in keeping depression from getting a grip on me. And if/when depression does start to take hold, Green Tea loosens its grip and helps me break free. I drink 4-8 cups of Green Tea a day! Drinking some right now. :-D Just hang in there man. Keep fighting. You are certainly not alone. Thanks for sharing. It helps all of us who struggle. I'm keeping you in my heart and prayers. **hug** God bless you and yours. And now, having "spoke" with you, I'm going to do some push-ups! Heh-heh ;-)
You're welcome. We are in it together. Definitely NOT alone. We can make it. One day at a time. In it to win it, my friend :-D ...or at least not hit every one of those damn branches on the way down. ROFL. May 2017 have a lot less branches. Heh-heh.
I've been feeling the same way
HOpe the feelings got better, sending so much love!
:) let go of your past mistakes... your mistakes are not who you are.
I get it.. 🙏namaste`

My pleasure, sir

What you need to do,Is find someone to motivate you. Find someone who likes to do Yoga, or stretching with you. Of course I can give advice,but I can't follow through with my advice.
I will try!
