I just got out of a 15 year, yes....15 year depression. U know how I got out of it? Understanding that I had to actually get up out of bed and literally do something, anything. It’s an actual fight to get out of depression. It’s been working for the past 8 months and I’m actually becoming proud of myself for figuring that out. Cause depression SUQ’s!!!

I was in the same boat you were in for the past two years straight. I attempted suicide twice, and I never in a million years thought I would actually start healing from it. In the past, I used to contemplate suicide on a daily basis. But now, I don't consider it an option anymore. It's weird to say, but I think i've definitely healed a lot. i think the one thing that healed me, was loving myself for who I was. That relationship with myself, I think often a lot people hate themselves, and they expect their life to be some fairy tale, and they care too much about what people think of them. I had to let go of all of this, and I let myself do that, now I feel more free. Don't get me wrong I do have hard days, but it's nowhere near as bad anymore.

Getting out of 10 years of severe depression. All by myself. My parents love to blame me instead of understanding why i messed up for ten years, why i dropped from being a topper to series of failure and all of what I did had it roots in my undiagnosed adhd. Ten years - out of which for six years, each day i thought of giving up on my life. The fact i am alive rn, the monster in my head not as big as it used to be - feels like a miracle. Now, when i am in the last stage wanting to restart life again at 26, two times uni drop out, going to med school next year, be a surgeon - i see an empty canvas infront of me while many of my age have filled a part of it. But i also realise, i can fill this canvas too. Help others who have been like me. Dance in the rain, pick shells on a beach, have a cup of chai.....i can do all of this, instead of thinking about kms. Life is changing for me, from black to grey and to the lighter shades of it.....but people around me summarise me with my failures. And i don't want to explain it to them. Yes, i will be starting my graduation/mbbs at 27. I will do it from my dream med college. I will be the black sheep without a mask in a herd of white sheeps or the ones pretending to be, as they struggle. I don't fit in the neurotypical society and idc anymore.

I'm 26 years old who recently got of severe bout of depression. I used to thought couple of years ago that my life was over but now as you said I can see an empty canvas however being so late to start again is very daunting task when our old friends and colleagues had surpassed us. All the best to you!

I like the fact that you mention first starting to have good thoughts. I personally think that when you're in a bad place blaming yourself or forcing yourself to do things you're not ready to do is going to hurt you more than help. I think we have to start building first a good mindset and relationship with ourselves to be strong enough to face new challenges

for someone who has been constantly battling suicidal thoughts and cannot find a purpose to stay alive anymore because at one side my life is all over. no money, no career, no direction, lost, have a relationship but not really happy with it, physical health issues, and not to forget a terrible mental health. like all shaken up to a dead-end. i was literally not able to get out of bed and do anything and i literally mean not even a thing. just use to get up for washroom. dont eat at all or eat randomly - mostly my comfort foods. this is where i am and i found your video. i had to explain my state otherwise you would have understood what "THANKYOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO" truely means when i say this. To anyone who is at a deadend in life - you are not alone. we will cross this and come out stronger and healthier. :)

It’s almost impossible to be in such a dark hole and get out. Losing everything takes your soul away. I said “almost” for a reason. Your friends, loved ones, significant other they all walk away because at the end of the day nobody truly cares. Some do but only temporarily, finding a new purpose is like finding water in the desert...

So true people always walk out on you at your lowest and they don’t realize that you’re going through hell but then the right people will come into your life

Another good advice when you are feeling like that is focus on one thing only. So often we reach that state and we feel overwhelmed. To combat that put one thing right in front of you and let go of the others. For instance if you are depressed, jobless, overweight, and a loner, you could focus on losing weight. Make that a goal, don't nesscessarily think long term because then you in all likelihood will feel overwhelmed again. Instead say "today I'll go to the gym" or "today I'll do intermittent fasting". If you focus on that one thing almost by magic the rest seem to fall in line. You'll meet people at the gym, you'll begin to feel good and more interested in nutrition, you'll find people to geek out with. The new focus and energy might lead to a new career path etc. Focus on one thing!

Thank you for sharing this. I'm at my lowest low, rock bottom. I lost everything financially in the stock market(400k), entire saving and no jobs. My family member assume that I'm doing all right emotionally and financially. Where deep down I constantly felt like killing myself. From getting cheated by my business partner (45k), lending fake friends money whom never paid back (40k) (some which I lend for their wedding which they had 3 kids now), loss my parents, building business and crashed down 3 times (30k), getting wiped out in stock market and more. I tend to avoid almost everyone and felt like disappearing from this world. I started to question my existence and blamed god for everything that happen in my life. When at one point, after relaxing my mind, its all on me. There are so many lesson to be learnt which I failed to see countless times. No one can make a difference except for ourselves. I'm trying to be grateful for everything that I've been through and keep positive get rid of all the negative. Its very difficult but I'm still trying and I still believe that I exist for a bigger purpose in life.

You update your phone when the notification pops up, and boom, in minutes, it’s running faster, no more glitches and it’s running smoother than it was before. This is what we need to do for ourselves, don’t you think? Our human body is the mother of all technologies.

You're so helpful.❤️ Thank You so much.

Your ideas are wonderful, but it was absolutely your empathy and understanding that brought me the comfort I needed here where I am here at 3:00AM.

I’ve had severe anxiety and BPD most of my life, I only recently started working out and my life is changing. Everyone start working out it helps with everything even mentally

I’m actually glad I found this video I’ve been feeling like this for 7 years and never knew that I’m not alone

Dancing with my daughter always makes me happy. Could you do a video about how to not make too many goals. I struggle with this. Thank you for all you do Alex.

Hey, force yourself to make simple tasks everyday, for example: start by waking up, opening the widows to the fresh air, making your bed and taking a shower, then add little things like going for a walk outside, a little bit of exercise. Trust me, it helps a lot to do these little tasks that don't require too much brain effort. Do you have a garden near your house? Go for a walk in nature. When we are depressed we can improve the depression by moving our body, but we have to force it a little bit. I Hope you get better.

@ModernHealthMonk, thank you for this video, I am going to try to put in practice what you suggest. I'm in that state of mind and been stuck for a year like this. This is genuinely helpful. All I can do is try and I will. So thank you. 🙏🏻

My life is in ashes ...... I am passed the super crazy low point you're talking about.... about half way up the hill. Thank you for this video. It's nice to get the reminder that progress has been made!

I Needed this thank u.

This was a great video. Simple, But effective tips.

Where was this video in 2011? I can extremely relate to feeling relief if I got hit by a bus. Everything you said was accurate to how I felt when a life changing event happened to me. Thank you Alex. I’m 33 and reading Milk the Pigeon.

So f***ing true but yet, so hard to fully understand and apply

Oh my God. YES!! THIS guy gets it! I have a feeling he is more of an introvert like me but when he talks about what it feels like... that's when I realize, he truly gets it and he's talking about my story!!

I wish I had a friend to talk to consistently

Having been through this (lost my father to cancer...wife had an affair...wife divorced me...wife took the kids 50% of the time....lost my job) all within 18 months. I can tell you that these kinds of suggestions in this video did nothing for me. Early on, taking long walks helped. 6 years later, I feel like I'm finally coming out of it.

CalicoCooperFan ? The early days ... That’s what he’s saying? Just to do something. Walking is moving your body.

@@sunrise5567 I felt "stuck" and didn't know how to move forward with my life for the longest time. I was on my 3rd therapist. Each helped me progress, but I left the first 2 feeling like they had taken me as far as they could with their skills and knowledge and I needed to try with somebody else. My last therapist basically said that each of these things was a traumatic experience and my resiliency took blow after blow and was weakened. My last therapist tried a therapy called EMDR on me that made a hugely positive impact. Its sort of counter intuitive and it took 5 months of therapy for it to work in my case. I'm about 80 to 90% back to normal. I dont feel stuck anymore and I have positive momentum in my life once again. I think persistence is key to overcoming something like this. I hope this helps.

Thank you, specially through this crisis, very very helpful

This is an amazing video. I am in a deep funk. My big brother passed away last year at 38 years old.. he was turning 39. I turned 37 this year and am in need of direction. Your video really helped. My one thing I'm going to do is clean up and tide my surroundings. One thing less to worry about

I love this video. Thank you so much.

Yep it is very tough when it all comes crashing down at once but the testimony is after you live through it wow

Deep depression is a rotine curse anyone battling with it just know everything your experiencing will come to an end and will be replaced with joy and happiness don't give up take it one day at time making good decisions so they will eventually add up to a better life

The best thing about hitting rock bottom is the Rebuilding and restructuring part cos as you reflect you can now see all the things that do not work so now you know what works....one day at a time 😙😙 Love and light 🕯 to y’all 💕

Thank you for the love 🤘🖤

Thank you! Great video.😊👍

you just helped save a life. thank you

King, Thank You ❤❤❤ From the bottom of my heart

Love this practicality! New sub

My strategy is just living one day at a time, I don't waste my time and energy trying to plan for the future that will never happen. If you feel sad then cry, if you feel down then feel down. Society made us believe that we have to be/feel "normal" everyday but that's not a healthy way to live our lives in my opinion we have to really feel our emotions and not run away from it because we cannot run from our own feet.

I needed this. Thanks dude.

Great video. After a relapse from my addiction late last year I (with support from friends and family) rebuilt my life and wellness practice within 6 weeks! Then, my mother (the closest person in my life) died suddenly one afternoon- she was laughing and joking that morning! I had a series of minor binges on alcohol and cocaine but nothing serious to cope with grief. Within a month of eachother two of my close friends both left the country to pursue careers. And another who I was living with almost rendered me homeless (long story) and I lost that relationship. My support network was gone Work was going extremely well despite all this going on in my personal life... until I had to deal with a suicidal client that needed immediate treatment. The experience sent me into a depression and I relapsed - majorly! Couldn’t get out of bed for 6 weeks - blew all of my savings Because of this I’ve lost clients, dignity, reputation, savings- but I still have respect and support from some people who know me professionally. I’m in the state you describe where getting hit by a bus would be a relief - I’ll try the 20 minute exercise and keep in mind controlling one thing from my day. Thanks

Time heals all wounds, or at least we tend to lose focus on the pain over a period of time .... 🤪

Thank you.

It worked completely love you 😍

Great video and great advice. Thanks.

thank you so much. you helped me a little today.

Lost my dad, girlfriend, home, and job all in the same month. I rebuilt and three years later everything fell apart all over again. I have a job, but now I have debt and no place to call home. I need help but trust issues has really made a struggle of reaching out. Staying sober, but its challenging. Thanks for the message

@ 05:26 - 'Just do one thing each day that you can control.' I totally agree. Try just walking around the block, just one lap, that's all. And then that counts as a win for the day, because you accomplished something. Chances are you may go back the next day, maybe add a second lap in the future, but no pressure. Take a simple victory, it will make a huge difference in your life - because you did it.
