Rickard McKeown no conscious inhaling more exhaling 3 6 breaths a minute Huffpost why exhaling matters most. Liznewmanwellness which is more important? Your inhale or your exhale. Jacobmark Wim Hof Vs The oxygen advantage How do they compare? This literally changed the game, breathing in more air has made me do permanet Wim Hof, which means no wonder ive been stressed like 12 years. This is whatbyou gotta do, dont knowingly hold your breath, dont knowingly breath IN, put something that smells under your fkn nose, you will notice it starting to smell even though your not manually breathing in, thats your lungs doing it by themselves. When you feel the urge to breath in, then youre supposed breath out through the nose. All this breathing in has made you deprived of oxygen which the body compensates for by more blood cells to absorb air better, youve overtrained your breathing in muscles so your breathing out is weak. All this makes you more sensative the the carbendioxid building up, which makes you wanna breath in even more, and then the cycle has begun. Youre not supposed the breath in at all, only out, when you dont consiouncly breath in the stomach fills itself, this will make you winded when walking but now a day later its improving. The problem with society is this that when youre nervous you hold your breath a bit, then carbondioxide builds up without you thinking about it, then someone sees you stressed then they say breath in when youre supposed to breath out. When youre body is startled people say dont stress about it, hold it in Which makes you not letting it pass through and then you carry small traumuas for years because your literally pulling it back in, a mammal in the woods gets startled, shakes sees its nothin, then they just walk on but people tell others to not shake it of To breath IN! which constricts your blood vessels and makes you more stressed and then when you literally do the wim hof every second of your loif then your literally betting yourself up without knowing why, seartching for breathing exercises telling you to notice your breath when you breath wrong or meditation when youre literally agitated all year around beqause your not giving up the control of the breath to youre unconscious again. Also to have the toungue in a suction hold on the roof of the mouth, the maxilla with mouth closed.

I was feeling uninterested in work and even to eat food since 2 days. I feel I'm Ill, it's been a long time since I had a hearty laugh with the people I like, went out with friends. Staying away from family has been taxing. Working from home doesn't help. Today I took leave and left home at 9, went out to a cafe, read for sometime and then sketched for a while. Went to a nice place for brunch and I'm typing this from the cafe. For anyone feeling low and having thoughts of loneliness, take your self out.

I have that too, occasionally. But I found a neat trick for when it gets particularly bad. Whenever you have that impulse, you respond to yourself with: "I don't hat myself, I hate _". The first part may feel untrue at the time but forcing oneself to pronounce that internally or otherwise makes the whole thing more effective. And _ in the second part can be anything from "my response to this situation" to "being in this circumstance". The more specific the better. It shifts your focus and lets you direct energy outwards that would otherwise be used to beat yourself up.

*"When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love." - Marcus Aurelius*

Im currently doing everything to fight my trauma. I had a teacher who screamed and yelled at me for years. He told me various nasty things and now im sick. Im doing everything i can to get healthy and i really hope that soon i will be.

I have struggled with mental illness most of my life. It feels just like this video describes. I have tried many things and many methods to try to "cure" myself. I have even tried not thinking, like the video says, but for me that is not what works best. Mindfulness is the best medicine for me. It sucked at first. I felt worse before I felt better, but the more I did it the better I felt. I am more present in reality, which makes me feel more alive. When I was distracting myself with social media, food, weed (whatever it happened to be), I felt less involved in my life, which made it easier to continue to not get help. And asking others to tell me what to do wasn't the answer either. I needed to take responsibility for my life (the good, the bad, and the ugly parts), to fully begin to heal. I am not saying it is the only way to help. But in my honest opinion, i do think it really helps you to enjoy life again and not just to survive it. My heart goes out to those of you in the thick of darkness right now. You are not alone and do whatever you need to do to survive right now. When you are ready you will do what is needed to heal. Stay strong and ask for help when you need it. You will be surprised how many people just want to see you better.

Just told my partner that I can not be a mother because I’m so broken and the thought of inviting another human being into this ugly, dark world of mine seems so unfair. Not a day passes by without thinking of taking my own life. There is no logical explanation why I’m here and what life is. Absurdism is what I see.

Here, here! As for kids, they are demanding but we must be of good minds before bringing them in, they will not fix any issue and will definitely exacerbate any you’ve got! I know from experience too.

You are absolutely right to not want to have a kid. Don't listen to anyone who says a baby is what you need. I'm not saying get pregnant and have an abortion. I'm saying Don't get pregnant in the 1st place. I had baby after baby after baby and I've never been a Mother to my children. How F:^! Up is that?! Figure out how to take care of YOU b4 bringing an innocent dependent life into existence and having them wonder why you even bothered... its a vicious cycle.

@@davidcoleman3064 practice Mindfulness as much as possible and breathing. Also remind yourself your not your thoughts. You don’t have to connect to every thought that comes in your mind. Change every negative thought that u happen to connect with into a positive one also fact checking. Your mind can distort the truth, fact check. 💖 Make yourself do the things you will do when your feeling good. It tricks your brain to believing that everything is ok. Tell yourself everything is ok because it truly is.

I’ve always known that I’m mentally ill. I’ve been on and off different meds for different things and life isn’t easier either. But this really made me feel like I’m not crazy or dramatic or wrong for feeling the way I do.

I didn't think it was possible to put what I experience into words in this way. The intro leaves me speechless because it captures exactly what it feels like to be in my head day to day. It couldn't be put any better! Thank you for making the unaxplainable so visible and touchable. I'm amazed.

Been following your channel for a while now. This one could not have been timed better. I’m not depressed like most but man am I anxious, unorganized, stressed. Thanks for taking care of us School of Life.

I am going to therapy for 2 years now with ups and downs. Depression episodes for months. For anyone that feels depressive please go and find help. I know it's really really hard, BC we are fighting everyday not to give up. Fighting for our life with our mind. But therapy helps me a lot. So I hope for U stranger it will help 2. Don't stop fighting and stay strong 💪!

Thankyou ❤

All I can say is that this one video means the world to me right now. Thank you OP and thank you to every other one of you here too. Honestly, thank you.

Illness, both physical but especially mental, undermines the usually unthinking trust I have in my body. Only when things are not working as they should, I realize how mind-bogglingly complex the human body is and how little we know about our mind. It is fascinating that our consciousness constitutes our whole existence, and yet we have no idea what consciousness actually is.

Honestly I was so used to this mental state, I thought I just matured and that I was "dumb" which was why it was so hard for me to think. I realized yesterday that it may have been not the case. This video opened my mind up a lot

It's even worse when you know you are unwell and not functioning but are blamed for being unwell

this actually brought me to tears. it feels so relieving knowing someone can put what you’re feeling into words

This vid is incredible. I've been working through ruminating, self hatred en isolating patterns for 7 years now, and can say I'm just about recovered as one can be. This video holds so many truths, which I now know to be true. I hope this reaches a lot of people, 'cause these insights can help people so much!

This video is so validating. It explains what I have never neen able to. What I go through exactly. Thank you. 🙏🏻 I want some family members to see this. They think I can change what I am going through and wonder why I can't get on with things. They condemn me for being lazy and ask why dont I pull myself together. My sister even asked did I know I was making her feel bad and I had to stop. I have learned that I have to walk away from these toxic people and that my doctor and cousellor are my most reliable sources of comfort, guidance and support and not my family or friends. It is hard tho because then they think I am ignoring them. Setting boundaries can be painful.

As always, I am in shock at how succinctly this channel describes the experience of mental illness. Thank you for this.

I've seen this several times already. I haven't seen or heard anything that resonates so much. I was recently diagnosed with Reoccurring Severe Depression; watching this has helped me acknowledge the condition as part of me and knowing that I can manage. I have to thank everyone at School of Life for putting such helpful content. Truly.

For anyone who is struggling and feels like they won’t make it through please don’t listen to the intrusive thoughts. You will see the other side. I’ve been lower than low before and attempted to end my suffering over a dozen times. But I’m glad I’ve not managed to do that. I am still here and I’m breathing and I’m living. Please don’t give in. Give more

I'm a 27 years old man. My mind is in so much pain. Almost 4 months ago, in an extremely distressing and painful emotional situation, I hit my head against the headboard of my bed. Actually, that same day in the afternoon, I was with my girlfriend that I love so much. She always shared her talks with her other male coworkers and I was absolutely okay with that. I never showed any insecurity. Now almost 4 months ago, I was sitting with her in a resturant, and showed her the profile picture of my PhD female class fellow from whatsapp. And guess what? In a very disrespectful manner, she left the resturant immediately. That phd classmate of mine is married and has a daughter too. From afternoon till midnight, I kept on explaining to my girlfriend through whatsapp that my classmate is already married and I only talk to her in a very formal way. In the resturant, she had herself checked my messages and discovered nothing flirty or informal. I even sent my girlfriend the voice messages of that girl that the conversation was purely academic, related to phD classes. She did not listen at all and said extremely hurtful things. I don't know what happened to me that night, my girlfriend I loved so much not listening to me at all and showing apathy drove me insane and I smashed my head against the headboard of my bed in my room. Now I have a minor cut on my forehead. People can't really notice it but I so much wish it fades away over time. It has impacted my self esteem quite negatively. All the time, I am conscious of myself. Every morning I wake up and get scared by seeing myself in the mirror as it reminds me my disturbing situation. I repeatedly keep on asking myself questions like how could I do that to myself. But believe me, that moment was emotionally intensely suffocating and stressful for me. I wanted to scream alot to ease my pain that night but did not wish to disturb my parents. She used to tell me that men praise her beauty and I always showed no insecurity and laughed and told her that yes she deserves this appraisal. Don't know how could she show such mistrust while my conversation with my phd classmate was purely academic related to research work. Another important thing to mention here is that I have never ever checked the phone of my girlfriend till this very day. I always valued trust above everything.

I love how I saw this video right when I needed it. I HAVE been irrational and delusional, my brain is tired of thinking and overthinking everything. I do need a break, thank you.

Thanks for this, you really nailed it. When I feel like this, it's like my mind needs something to feel bad about, and actively looks for the bad in everything.

Good god, that opening absolutely nailed those first few frantic moments when waking up

Possibly the best description of a period of mental illness I’ve ever come across. When I go through this myself, it’s virtually impossible to articulate how it feels to be mired in negativity and lack ANY ability to reason one’s way out of it 😩

Thank you.., for putting into words, what I too am suffering from . I can't find word's besides horrible suffering, mentally paralyzed, loss of desires,.. I cry alot, because I don't like suffering every day, unable to do anything at all. It's a struggle to take care of myself, even eating. I listened to everything I can find,.. but no relief 😢. I'm terrified... I lost my career job of 20yrs... and I was at fault. My life was connected to my job. My best friends, all my social interactions, purpose, identity etc. Everything a great job provides to be confident and fulfilled. Depression is a horrible mental illness... 😞

Sending so much love and hugs to everyone suffering through this thing called life! Don’t give up hope, God bless 💗💗💗💗

I like the way they say that the mind thinks that it is doing its job normally but it's not. This is when there are signs of distorted thinking. It took me 4-5 years of therapy to even recognize that I was thinking in a distorted way, that harmed my own health.

I feel this video offers enormous insight. I also feel it takes enormous discernment to know which negative thoughts have legitimacy as not all are the result of mental illness.

this is a very welcome topic. the most frustrating thing i've found with mental illness is having no clear line of when things have changed. as the video talks about - your mind seems to be working in the same way, it sometimes even feels clearer and more accurate. inside my mind is not the place to look for signs of change, though, and keeping an eye on my sleep and hygiene and normal routines are better signs of what is happening inside. i love the suggestion to rest - it feels like the world is always telling us to be active, to do more, to get on top of your problems and take control of your life. mental illness is often mental activity, problem solving and trying to take control. finding a solution takes letting go, being ok with not being ok, taking a break from things that are hurting us or adding stress, and asking for help.

This helped me understand my partners depression so much. Going through it as a neurodivergent mind and being with a neurotypical who experiences it is totally different. Thank you for this video. It encompassed so many things he tells me he feels

I've experienced and largely overcome depression many years ago. The past few weeks it's been coming up again and I've forgotten how to deal with it. Thank you for this.

I wish I could explain and prove point by point why all those negative thoughts and feelings are true in my case. It would take too long to state my case but every time I hear this kind of information I think, “I wish that were true for me”, but if you make mistakes there are people who will not let you forget or ever feel forgiven. Yes, I know humans don’t have the right to do this, but they do it anyway and I am not strong enough to defend myself from them. Religious groups can be this way. It can be cruel.

This gave me tears. What a beautiful depiction. Putting clutter into words... thank you.

How do you folks understand what we’re going through so much 🥺😢😩😭 This channel really is one of the best ones on KZread. Hands down 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

never before have i seen a more accurate video on how my brain represses my fears, not even my therapist could expain it to me in such a calming way. Thanks for the beautifully illustrated video and making me feel less alone with my thoughts

I can't believe how connected I am right now with this video. Until recently I told myself that I was a logical thinker, and how I'm aware of the depression I'm experiencing. But I convince myself that this being, as the video suggested, terrorist in white coats, have objectively told me that I need to think about the things in my head, and how the world will end soon, how my parents will die soon, and how every little thing has meaning and yet I don't appreciate it as much as I should. But this was so unnecessary because in reality, I didn't do anything in my life, I abandon all my chores, just like the video demonstrated. The visuals are amazing and I felt like my emotions were described so easily by the animation. Thank you so much for the video, I love it so deeply. For the people out there struggling as well, I am with you.

Gosh, i was going through the exact same thing lately. It is really exhausting to deal with such thing especially when you are unaware of it. You dont know what to do or think or move properly. You cant do anything. It is litteraly hell. But now i know it, when i realize i am in this situation i wont think or decide or feel anything. Just rest. Everythings will be fine again.

Wow,.. Im going through this right now. Im constantly ruminating the mistakes i made that ruined me, all the coulda shouda wouldas. So much self hatred, knowing it was my fault, over and over. I isolate horribly because of the anxiety and depression this all caused. No one can believe this has happened to me. Im stuck. It's like im mentally paralyzed. I just don't want to do anything i used to. I really hope i can heal, or snap out of this quicksand of horror asap! Im so glad for you... that you've gotten better. Im on the tightrope..

This has made me so emotional. Thank you so much for this video. I know how I can better help and be there for my loved ones. This is something that I didn't know I needed, someone with a voice of reason to bring me back from my clouded darkness. I don't have that but I want to be that person for the ones I care and love.

Overall very good advice as usual. I would even expand these thoughts here to the point where people in general have an attitude of believing they are the best at judging a situation, a condition or a state of being. "I know best" is a statement that is more often wrong than right.

I had to stop drinking alcohol because the next day I'd be so self aware and scatter brained I'd go down a rabbit hole I struggled to escape. It was terrifying. Same thing with Marijuana. I believe my brain can no longer handle the abuse.

This channel has always healed me in times of need.

agree with you

I know there's something going on inside me that often shuts me down even when things are positive outside but I'm unable to recognize and deal with it. Love to everybody in a similar phase.

I hit a bipolar depression drop off out of nowhere. Lost my job and my business. Forcing myself to: eat, floss, shower, change clothes… I spend the day in bed watching KZread to distract myself from panic attacks. Had to fight off suicidal ideations. I thought I wasn’t going to make it. Didn’t check into a psych ward because they are expensive and life sucks there even worse. Not sure how I’m going to proceed in life since I have a 6 year old daughter and obviously chose not to end my life…Been upset at God and don’t understand why I have to go through this burden.

Love this video and The School of Life for helping me with their insights. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️❤️

Thank you for watching.

This is a realisation I had coming out of my first and most significant depressive episode. Since then, I don't really trust or try to rely on my own judgement when I'm depressed. It's actually somewhat freeing. I suppose, in a sense, though, that's because I have learned how to tell when I'm depressed, and how to label thoughts as depressive.

The last five years of my life have seen the most incredible, painful realities. Rejection of the worst kind, relocation multiple times, living out of a suitcase in the floor, grieving and loss, romantic issues, allergies, weight loss, ptsd, hormonal issues….I always thought I was the one who could take everything on and just deal with it, but this year, I learned I’m not a strong as I once thought I was.

An extraordinarinally accurate portrayal of suffering mental illness. My anxiety coupled with bipolar has caused tremendous upheaval and problems in my life but I'm still trying to march forward. Love to everybody out there going through similar issues.

The big picture is positive, consciousness is rising.

I struggle day in and day out. - When it hits really bad, I feel like I'm in quicksand and I can't get out of this spot. My entire body, mind, function shuts down immediately. I take my meds, my psychologist just died. It has been a rough road, but I know that this shall pass.....

To all my warriors out there who are fighting their own demons without anyone knowing ,you are a hero and an amazing and brave human being .keep on going dear ,you will find the light and peace soon enough ❤❤❤

That video summed it up all to well! Thank you for finding the right words and pictures. Mental illness is one strange thing.

This advice is all good and great unless you literally have no time to do these things or are forced into bad situations against your will!

I’ve never felt like this before I’m on the verge of mental breakdown When I talk about my mental illness, I feel like a burden. My siblings are suffering from the same issues Sometimes they can hear me but sometimes I can see that they don’t listen cause they’re already having their own struggles. I want to find hope and have faith that I’ll get better but nothing working out. I used to enjoy working out & watching shows but now I’ve lost interest in almost everything.

"To be mentally ill is to be swamped by the secretions of fear"

This is scary accurate and exactly why I went through today

Never forget you deserve to be happy. I do not know if there is a god, or meaning or anything in life, but you are you, all our lifes are a story, write the one you want. Be yourself. And look for people that can love you the way you are.....

I find relief in learning languages. It gives me incredible joy. After being bipolar for decades I found out it's worst at nights, just right before going to bed. But it all changed when I found out I could spend that time learning languages. That really transformed my life and gave me some hope. After learning so many languages I'm a different person, I have more respect and appreciation for myself, and what's most important I find so much joy in my life, looking forward every day the night time when I come home and start learning Finnish for example, the language I'm learning at the moment. Depressed people should remember despair is not real and that humans are being born with the instinct to be happy. Greetings from Belgrade.

There are quite possibly two competing identities within everyone. The positive & negative aspects. One is the popular "hero" archetype, and the other is more of a Frankenstein/Joker archetype, who feels unloved, misunderstood, mainly unseen but yet only seen and laughed at as some type of sick joke, unable to find any real meaning or purpose in the world to help him deal with the suffering. This Frankenjoker will begin to hate himself as well as the world that created him. He may embrace his hatred and become a villain, taking out his vengeance upon the world that creates people like him, or maybe he just kills himself because he doesn't want to become a villain but yet is consumed with hatred and even sees himself as a villain. Most of us struggle with what we identify as

"This too shall pass" 🥺

Thanks for this call to mental health awareness. Lots of my time is spent not thinking, as this video eloquently describes.

For anyone in pain, just know that no matter what, it all doesn't matter in the end, so don't fucking care about it all too much. Next time you are sad or unhappy or in pain or fear, just hug yourself and sit in front of the mirror and talk. Talk for as long as it takes to go through it. Pain or fear only come to remind us to look inside. Our deeper selves need deep love and kindness and if we ignore ourselves for too long, we suffer. Don't ignore your needs and desire to be loved.
