Anna, yesterday I went out to socialize in a group setting for the first time in forever after years of completely isolating myself and shutting myself off from the world. I just wanted to share because I realized I had C-PTSD last spring and your videos have been and continue to be a great part of that journey. I mean it 100% that I wouldn’t have been able to do what I did yesterday, and even have fun with little to no anxiety afterwards, if it weren’t for finding this channel. I’m still a little in shock over being able to feel not only so okay but even good about being alive as I am right now. Thank you for being the kind bright light that you are, and to anyone reading this who might fear they’ll always be “stuck”, please know there is so much hope for us all ❤❤❤

I have a friend, who lives in Jerusalem, dresses in purple & gives "kindness cards" (google it, not a product, more of an idea, not for profit) to everybody she interacts with. Every clerk, in every shop, every driver, every soldier, every tourist, anyone she interacts with. Because she can. I am still impressed/grateful to know she's real. "What am I avoiding?" is a question I ask not often enough. Fighting the urge to talk negative, not only works but it stops creating the negative. Talking less. Challenging myself with long periods of peaceful being quiet. Like not practicing witty retorts to the news. Life is not a sitcom. Practicing accepting as is instead of practicing labeling, judging, blaming, even with what I think of this or that Tweet, story, film, comment IRL on the street. So they said it. So what? It's good practice. Gratitude for no pain in this moment. For safety now. For a place to sleep. Food in the stomach. Fresh air & water. Simple things. A little girl with goldilocks curls in the pharmacy. I personally do better without a rigid routine. Group work triggers me. SInging along to laptop karaoke & dancing with dogs is more my cuppa tea. To each his/her/its own. Nice to have some company/community/connection, here, even if not a lot of interaction yet.

I put a quater in a small clear glass each time I do a thing for one hour. I have a cup for work around the house ( that I don't like doing like washing dishes), a cup for taking care of me ( nice movie, bath, massage) and a cup for work. I love placing those quaters in the cups and it keeps me going and keeps me organized. I end up with 12 quaters in the 3 glasses per day in average and accomplish so much this way. I created this technique. Keeps me going and keeps me satisfied. I enjoy counting my quaters at the end of the day, placing them back in the large pot and the next day, I restart my 3 glass routine 🙂. The sound of the coins, the encouragement of writing what I did for that specific quater on a page placed under each cup, the visual of the stacked coins all combined does something to my brain that likes this and becomes more regulated. This video is a quater in my self care cup for example.

What has helped me sleep is Deep Belly Breathing...breathing in and out through your nose, your stomach moves in and out, not your chest...I hope you will try this, let me know how you are doing

I can attest to this..up at 530 mon-fri, and I work out at least 20-40 minutes. I run in the Summer months when the sun is up, and bought a treadmill for the winter months. I give myself plenty of time to have my coffee and get ready for work. That way I'm not rushing out the door. This has helped tremendously with my mood. It really makes my day better. Some days are harder to get out of bed, but I find once I start moving my body my endorphins dramatically increase. I stopped taking meds about 3 years ago, and I can't reccomend enough the importance of exercise and a daily routine.

After years of therapy I decided to recapitulate everything that I had learned. I literally shut the drapes and reviewed my progress for multiple months. Similar to your self examination vids, I had to address my own stagnation. I have a better understanding of my own development from childhood, young adulthood, and subsequent adult. Being that selfish (in a healthy way) has led to the quieting of my own mind. I am more at peace than I ever was prior to watching your vids.

@@Dr.JustIsWrong sorry to be the smartass here but the hard part IMO is overturning this deeply ingrained false belief that putting yourself first is selfish, wrong, bad. Because yes if you keep believing that then it will always feel like a very hard thing to do. It is taking good care of the most important person in your life which is you, and it is your duty to do that, just as the duty of the airplane instruction of putting your own oxygen mask on first, before you put your childs oxygen mask on. 🍀✌️

This list is wholesome, helpful & free. I have been implementing these techniques for many years as a "medicine" for severe depression. I'll be doing great for months at a time & then NOT. The difficulty I face is slipping into depression, knowing that practicing any of the techniques will help, yet I feel too far gone & I simply can't. I get overwhelmed & stuck.

I also found that just watching this video helped; watching your smile, hearing your calm voice and learning of your own experiences. It’s so nice to know that we’re not alone and that there is a practical, non drug-related path to feeling better and healing.

I would love nothing more than to help others on their journey by sharing my story. I know I will happen. God willing. Much love and healing hugs to everyone here🫂💜🦋🌻🙏🤗

One thing I noticed about exercise, is that it’s the one time during the day I don’t feel anxious and my brain stops worrying. It also makes me feel stronger, which in a way makes me feel literally more grounded.

Thank you, it came in the right time. I went down these last 12 months. A few hours ago, those depressive thoughts started again... There was a reel from someone a few days ago that changed my perception: keep doing the positive things, here and there. It's the overall of the little actions that help the whole. Try and see if it doesn't change. Pick a huge glass full of water and start dropping a few drops of corant or a coloured drink. Keep pouring little by little, and see if nothing changes. Looking at the little things we do, thinking they're are the drops of colour in ourselves ❤

Can I just get this out please : I shut my brain down 50 years ago when I was 4.5 years old after I was kidnapped in the morning at school (went to bathroom) When I got out of the bathroom a man was standing there and he kidnapped me three me in his car Drove me a few blocks to a field where he violently attacked raped, Penetrated me with a large stick on and on he said he was going to the car to get a knife and be right back to kill me while he was gone a jogger miraculously Came by and saw my head lifted up and I left it at my arm even though I was paralyzed from head to toe, Hey scoop me up and ran me back to school. When I found out my parents weren’t going to do anything after they take me to the doctors and bandaged me up, I shut down because I didn’t get any help. 50 years later I remember now because four family members died and it shook my brain up enough to remember. So now I have seen PTSD and it is horrible and doctors don’t know how to treat it properly with the right medications. I am in hell

I know that no one should “cling to a diagnosis or idea” however over the last 5 days, you have shed a light on my dark pathway where I’ve tripped, fallen, hurt myself and others, adopted such a negative view of my dark pathway. Lost is an understatement. I’ve kept going on that path even when I hated it, being stubborn has aided that. Some days I sat down in the dark crying for light, directions and reasons why this dark path is still beautiful. A light came on and I truly believe that what I do with that little light now, will directly affect the brightness of that light going forward. I’m the dimmer switch and I refuse to live in the dark anymore.

It's interesting because a good few of the things listed here are what I have been doing to fulfil a "craving" sort of feeling, without realising it was probably my mind telling me to do it to reregulate. I've been doing stuff such as making the 20 minute walk home from work rather than jumping on a bus, following cardio workouts (sort of a virtual version of the moving in groups tip), avoiding getting involved in negative "chit-chat" with colleagues, praying -- and since taking up the daily practice about two months ago, I find I crave doing that too. One thing I am hesitant to try is waking up an hour early! And not just for the obvious reason of squeezing in more zs, but also because from past experience I have come to realise that if there is any amount of time "spare" before I leave the house for work, I become restless and dysregulated; unable to peel my eyes off the clock and actually use that time productively.

I apologize in advance for my poor english. I'm not good at expressing myself but I find it easy to understand what I listen to. I've always found it hard to accept and embrace the truth of "even a little positive change is worth it". Somehow, here I am hearing these words from a stranger and thinking "maybe I could allow myself to feel good about this thought". I'm trying to figure it out why it makes me feel such a "failure" to think that is ok to aim for a little improvement. Meanwhile, I just want to thank you and let you know that your voice and smile are so much appreciated. I bet you are helping many souls. Thanks..

Shifting gears from feeling low to high is good to hear 😎😘

New subscriber - I'm so pleasantly surprised by the quality and depth of your words! So much substance in 20 minutes, a lot to chew on for days - and hopefully implement! Definitely inspired to try some, thank you

Hello 👋 Natasa, I love the way you drop down your words on the note, you sound so lovely 😊 how are you doing?

It's extremely difficult if not completely impossible to get out of and stay out of bed as well as get outside to exercise hard when youre very depressed.

Thank you 🙏

Anna and Community, thank you so much for all of these thoughts. Since i started the Daily Practice and took the course, I find if i do it 2xs a day, it makes a huge difference in the day. As I watch the many topic specific videos, i have found great support. When ready, I'll take the dating course. That I am thinking of that, means things are better! Anna, you look great. Thank you for your space and courage to share.

The exercising hard for at least 20min, when going though difficult emotions connect to cpstd, sounds like resting your own body to default state, so the body can be regulated. Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🙏🙏🙏😊💖🌟

Hello 👋 Kasia, I love your words you sound so interesting 😊 how are you doing?

Thank-you Anna. You are the blessing many people need right now.

Excellent tips! I'd like to add a daylight lamp against winter depression and check out mineral deficits like magnesium and vitamin D. I find that also helpfull.

Hello 👋 Laura, I love your words you sound so kind, how are you doing?

Exercising hard is difficult for me, especially if it's cold outside like now. It's winter here. What are things I can say to myself to get me motivated enough to exercise?

My personal opinion is that you (1) have to be desperate enough to make a change and (2) you have to set yourself a goal that's as a miniscule as possible. Don't bite off too much at once. For example, set yourself the goal of getting up, getting dressed, and then going outside for just two minutes. A promise to go outside only for 2 minutes and then come back in. Set a timer. After doing this every day for a while, you'll start to become the sort of person who *consistently* gets up and goes outside at a regular time to exercise. And then it becomes easier to increase the time spent exercising from there. And (c) if you're really sensitive to the cold, maybe go outside dressed very warmly at first. You can maybe take layers off once you start to get too warm from the exercise.

Similar, i do not enjoy most exercise. 99.9% does not get my endorphins going. The only exercise I did like (rollerskating) I cannot do any longer as I went too many decades without it and the last time i did it (a few years ago), i broke my back and got a concussion when a horse-playing young teen clipped the back of my knee / multiple bounces. Doc says bones are too brittle and the next fall might paralyze me. That would lead to a worse depression. Motivation is hard to muster for other things on the list. I have joined 2 walking meetup groups and have only gone once in 6 years. It's too hot (pass out from heat), too cold (raynauds and get sick when cold), too windy (prone to ear infections w/ a poor immune system) ... I will try to be more kind, but because I hermtize, there is no secret, somebody always finds out. Feels like a knife in my gut when i lie & say i'm fine when i'm not, so i stopped. I just say i'm here or change the subject to something neutral or positive that has nothing to do with me - weather, how nice someone looks that day, retelling a kindness i witnessed (not did), etc. It helps for a few minutes, then i concentrate on my work.

I have been really depressed this year. I will check your tools. Thank you for everything. I love watching your videos.
