I used to have depression. In fact, I had it for most of my life until I couldn't stand it anymore. I had the time/ space to work on it for a few months (I was unemployed at the time). And I beat it. This is what I did to beat it. Everyday I did the following and ONLY the following > keep a journal, go to yoga class, walk in a park to be in nature, meditate, eat only real food (no junk food) and read some spiritual books I found inspiring. I stayed away from socializing - no night life. My journal consisted of me observing my mind and what it does/ thinks. To be clear, I did not feel any improvement until the third month when after all that I could see clearly a pattern of thinking that, frankly, was a load of negative crap that was fed to me since I was a child. To be clear, I felt much worse before it left; I thought I was dying. I was sure I had some deadly disease and went to doctors all of whom found nothing wrong with me. I came to a moment in which I saw clearly that the depressing thought patterns were not mine but were living in me that I took to be 'me'. In that moment I did not know how to get 'them' to leave my head and in total surrender and with a genuine heart I asked God to take it. I'm not really that religious but when you're in a fox hole and desperate... And it all unraveled like a falling deck of cards. Initially, it felt strange to have that thing gone but now it's my new normal. If anyone decides to follow this route, stay determined and keep going. I hope this helps someone out there.

When those actions helped them identify the problem they got vulnerable and reached out to a higher power.

I have been through depression from the age of 15 to 18. Now, I'm 19. I'm not fully out of it but I've been coping with it better. I come from a family where grades mean everything. I changed myself as much as possible to fit in and make my family proud, but little did I know that I will face a greater backlash. There were days when I didn't feel like getting out of bed and the worse part was when other people, especially family gave advices that was insignificant without really understanding what I was going through and made me feel worse. I felt myself slowly coming out of it when I left home to pursue higher education. I had a better sense of who I really was. Now, I only focus on the things that is within my control rather than pondering over the things that I can't control. To those suffering from depression, it takes time to heal and give yourself ample of time to do so. Don't expect anything from yourself and from anyone else. You are the most important person in your life. Make your well-being your first priority.

Summed it up fantastically, denying the fact that you are down and not telling people is very harming for you and the people around you. Hence, why I produce guided meditation on my channel. When I was in a deep dark depression there was no one around and counsellors didn't give any advice, I turned to youtube for answers. The one thing that got me through instead of calling it depression, I call it period of self reflection was guided meditation and yes, anti depressants made me feel worse. I got through it and try to help others with my channel. Thankyou for sharing this!

Idk about you, depression triggers in me when there's some unsurmountable obstacle(s) that happened recently or built up over time. I think depression really is only a transition between realizing something we want and also our lack of capability to attain it due to lack of skill, willpower, confidence, whatever. and so its like running towards your future only to realize midway that you are a very long way off, you are tiring and losing energy, and the ground below you is crumbling. and so your mind goes into a state of confusion a mix of fight or flight reactions, of losing hope, of survival and preservation, of statistics badly in your favor and without a clear cut solution, your mind melts due to the overwhelming stress leaving you paralyzed and disassociated with a hint of fear. and so I think the best way to deal with depression is to actually tackle the problem but a very Very small part of it. forget what might or could happen, just focus on the now and immediate. focus on achieving the next baby step. like if you can shower or eat and sleep on schedule, that would be commendable as those are actions that rebuilds your life and confidence. then break your problem down to very simple tasks and do those. don't worry about the end or how small your actions matter, just focus on doing because by doing what you can, where you are, with what you have, right here and now, you become in control of your life in this very moment, and he power to affect now is really all there ever was. everything else is in the past or imaginary.

Very good post, problem-solving where you write down the problem or situation, and then write down as many solutions as possible, is really helpful. You are right that trying something, just one thing first, gets you moving again, which as everyone knows is the problem with depression, that it keeps you stuck by constantly focussing on the problem(s). It's like feeling you are in a hole you can't climb out of, so finding one step and taking it, starts you on the road to moving forward. The lack of motivation is a major problem and is what keeps depression going too, finding you are actually taking action helps to improve self esteem enough that you begin to focus on solutions instead of painful problems.

I started drinking when I was 16. I would drink at parties, but I also started drinking alone because I was unhappy, and I was in a lot of emotional pain all the time. My mom was very aggressive when I was younger, and my brother hated her and so did I. He started hanging out with shady people, he started failing all his classes, he was never home, and my parents fought all the time. I also ran away several times. I was always trying to figure out a reason as to why I was here or what the purpose of life was. So, I started looking at different philosophies, religions, and beliefs. When I was 18 after I was hungover, I got on my knees and I prayed for the first time. I asked if God was real that he would show me he was real because I couldn’t take it anymore. I was crying when I prayed for this. At that moment I felt a presence come over me like a wind. It was barely noticeable, but it was unlike anything in my life I had experienced up until that point. I was surprised when I felt it and I remember saying “what was that?” after that experience I pretty much forgot what happened and kept partying, until my senior year when I got arrested. After my arrest, my parents lost all their trust in me and I was expelled from high school. I was told never to come back. At that time, I felt afraid and hopeless. That’s when I started looking for God, and I prayed that he would reveal himself in my life and that he would give me signs. My prayers began getting answered so consistently that I couldn’t deny that God was doing something. It was mysterious and compelling. I ended up in Church and started reading the bible hours a day. I stopped hanging out with all my other friends because they were continually getting arrested. I was able to forgive my family and myself and to ask to be forgiven. I noticed how at Church people were judgmental and how they formed cliques but were afraid to be around anyone else different from them. It increased my faith because I realized Jesus was not like that and ever since I was young, I saw people as people regardless of who they were. After a while, it’s like I could see God's presence was in my life and then it felt like he wasn’t, and then he was, and then he wasn’t. One day I woke up and felt more depressed than I ever have in my entire life. I felt like I was dying on the inside. That night I prayed, and I said, God, I don’t see my life five years from now I'm going to die Jesus save me Lord, please save me. I was weeping when I said it and when I asked him to save me, I felt a presence inside of me like a heartbeat, and I felt it once like a pulse, and I said Lord please save me and I felt it again even stronger. It was like radiance. When I woke up the next morning, I had transformed everything felt brand new like I was a kid again. All my fears and all my racing thoughts everything was gone. I looked at my hands, and I said this can’t be real it’s impossible. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I saw a different person. I started praying, and the holy spirit became entirely real to me it was washing over me and inside of me. It was total love and peace, and I heard a voice but not an audible one, it was an inner voice. It said I am with you; I love you, I will never leave you, it’s done it’s finished. That was May 3rd, 2009, and ever since then I’ve followed God, I have seen many things change and many things I know wouldn’t have changed without faith and belief. I know what it’s like to be lost to feel you have no hope. Don’t ever think you’re stuck, or life can’t change because it can. My mom is a Christian now, Its night and day. Some of the things that went away during that period were severe anxiety and my addiction to alcohol. I’ve seen and experienced so many things that are miraculous and seen how God has worked in my life. When we ask God to forgive us for what we’ve done and turn away from our sins and wrongdoings and we believe in Christ's sacrifice everything changes. His word says if we confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that he died and rose again we will have eternal life but not just life after death but abundant life in the present. Our sins are erased not only past, present, and future but our burdens and fears are lifted also. Our thoughts, our minds, our hearts, our souls are transformed and united with God and we know his spirit lives in us. If you seek, pray, and knock you will know JESUS IS KING!!! HE LIVES! "come to me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest" "I am the light of the world whoever follows me will not walk in darkness but will have the light of life"

This is just my opinion, but I think this is more of a story about how to pull yourself out of your depressive state, but not necessarily how to actually conquer depression once and for all. This is a great story, good for her! What she is doing is super awesome! but I don't think it is sensible to base your happiness on others. If you give them the power to build you up, you can give them the power to bring you down. Nothing in life is permanent. What if she loses all her friends and amazing life? Maybe it is different for everyone? From my experience, depression alway returns because it goes deeper. I personally believe the root of depression is deeper than wanting to feel accepted. Why is it that you need that acceptance and love? Can you still feel happiness without that acceptance and love? I do not have the answers, I do not know how to cure depression. It really sucks and I think it is different for everyone. All I know is that I am an open and honest person. I have also shared my inner soul with people and they really loved and accepted me and I loved them and everything about my life, but I STILL felt numb inside! I still lost sense of reality. I still could not pull myself out of this deep empty sadness, even though on the outside it seemed like I got everything I wanted. I don't know? have not experienced what she has experienced. Maybe it is different for her? Maybe helping and encouraging people is what brings her inner soul peace? I don't know, just my thoughts on depression.

Or, in your own mind, do you see it as you are depressed BUT that you don't neessarily think there is a " good" reasons, you just ARE depressed?

I can't talk to people without sweating, can't express my ideas cause I think I'm worthless, can't look myself to the mirror without saying I hate myself, this is the first time I talk about these terrible feelings I have, never had the courage to do so, always felt embarrassed to let people know what is going on into my brain. I'm scared to ask help because if I do my parents will know, I keep everything inside, watching this video you made me feel understood, I relate with a lot of things you said, I swear I'll try my best to overcome it. I hope one day I'll be able to speak without overthinking, to be able to approach new people, to let people know my feelings. Thank you so much for making this video

Your story is a positive one. I hope that you recognize that "other people" are the heros in your life. You had people who cared about you. You had parents that made you do something. You had people to talk to. You had people to listen to you. Other people in your life are the heros. They all had a big influence on your life. "Other people" that showed you love. Other people that cared. You were young and surrounded by other people- in school, at camp. What advise would you give to a person with no family, no friends that is stuck in a world where nobody cares? Be very grateful for "other people", because if it wasn't for them you never would have escaped your sadness or lonliness. I am suffering by myself in a world where nobody cares. All I need is one single person to truely care. Like you recognized, a person getting paid to "care" doesn't work. Their "training" in grouping people with a "diagnosis" and label doesn't help at all. True love and caring is the only thing that helps. I cannot find, and don't know how to find anyone out there who is capable to actually love and care, and help, and listen. It is a very lonely, cold and heartless world. Seems everyone is wrapped up and involved with their own concerns to even be concerned with someone else who is a few steps lower than your description of "depression". Yes, this comment is being made for two reasons. One reason is to make sure that you are aware and understand that "other people" helped you out of your darkness. And the other is my call to the public for someone to open their heart to help me. Stretch out your hand please to a human being who has been holding on by a tiny thread. Everyone needs someone else to care. The disheartening part is that only those who have been there (without someone) will know what the suffering is all about.

+Ebony Lauren Nash Sometimes we say things we regret, because our circumstances change so rapidly. We pass by a homeless person on the street. In the passing we feel sorrow, compassion and a longing to help. As we continue to walk, we think about the loniness and dispair the homeless person must feel. Then we reach our destination and all is forgotten and our worlds become separated. I want to sincerely thank you for caring enough to reach out to me, but I know that I will soon be forgotten; that's just human nature. I have a need to open up to someone and share my thoughts, which would make me vulnerable. In not knowing to whom I would be sharing my innermost thoughts by responding on a public medium, I don't know how to respond to your invitation. A private conversation is very much welcome, but I don't know if that could be possible.

unhappiness is a just a matter of perception,.., when we are experiencing things that is not match with our perception as we believe should be, then as the result, unhappiness appear. there are only 2 choices to get rid off the unplesant feeling, first change the reality or change our perception, in many cases we will find out it will be lot easier to change our perception on event instead changing the reality as we want.

It depends if you go into therapy hoping to be cured. Helping a depressed person is actually really hard, because its as if their way of looking at things is for that time completely skwed. You can't ask them to take the glass half full approach, because the glass is cracked and the water is leaking out. The best therapists don't say much, just listen and try to help you confront the pain. Literally just look at it long enough so it doesn't scare or overwhelm you. That is hard.

"help from friends" the moment you tell anyone at all about depression, no one wants to help. People avoid you, ignore you and pretend you don't exist. I am sick and tired of being told I need to open up when "opening up" simply exposes people to things they do not want to see. they turn away, averting their eyes. No one wants to know unless you are already doing well. When you hit a bad patch, you are on your own.

amen! that's AWESOME. as a fellow sister in Christ, who's been a Christian her whole life, I share the experience with you. all my life I suffered from depression and anxiety. I'm still battling it and some times I feel so far from God. other times when I'm closer to him in prayer and worship I still have that heavy darkness that lies to me about my inability to receive God's promises. it's like I'm too broken to overcome and even if I try to receive breakthrough from that lie of permanent brokenness, I still have a stronghold belief that "ya sure OK I'm not broken so that means I can move on... yet that "I don't want to" feeling is the most overpowering "I don't want to" that I've ever heard, it's like rooted deep and doesn't ever go away, even when I fight through it, even when I forget about it for a little while, even when I have many reasons to want to. I just don't. It's almost like some sick twisted belief that finds some kind of messed up evil joy in staying miserable, broken, defeated in my dark quiet room. so as much as I love God and I know that I should know better than to swallow all the garbage I've been babbling about, it's never let's me go. and the worst thing of living like this is, that to the people of the world, they have their own systems and teachings on how to overcome depression, which are useless to me because they aren't based on biblical wisdom -OR- the people who have videos, books, teachings which ARE from a Christian point of view, but yet they don't touch up on the topic because it's so taboo and "evil/demonic" and "nonexistent/imagined" so it's harder to get help.

Exercise is a great way to get the mind to stop focusing on all the problems and darkness in this world. Each person and situation will be a bit different, so we have to be creative and see what someone responds to. Everyone needs to feel cared for and have a real purpose in their human journey. More and more people don’t feel cared for. The problems of this world seem insurmountable at times. Many people feel that things are becoming worse each year. There seems to be so little common sense these days. Hardly anything makes sense anymore. So how do we help someone who is getting overwhelmed by all the challenges and problems in this world? We need to look at the prevailing philosophy of life of most people in this world. They feel: "The world is for my enjoyment. That is my purpose of being here. The more I enjoy the world, the happier I will be." It is crucial that we teach the young generation to become less self-centered, not more. The more someone becomes self-centered, the more they are at risk of feeling without purpose, empty and depressed. As we often suggest there are greater causes than just living for yourself. When I have a greater purpose such as helping others, I will forget about my unhappiness and the symptoms of depression will go away when one has a real purpose. Try to get others engaged in some service projects. Share real wisdom about our identity. The root cause of virtually all problems in this world is that people misidentify themselves. They believe that they are temporary material beings and their purpose in life is to exploit all the resources and other people on this planet for their maximum enjoyment. There is no concern for others. Nor is there an understand of the law of karma, that they will have to pay a very high price for causing any harm to others. It is from lust, greed and anger that the main problems in the world arise. Anyone who is depressed needs help. And part of that help is that we have to inform others that this world is not our eternal home and that living a self-centered life cannot bring real happiness.

Thing is you can find yourself to be a hero is you have people around you that listen to you about these problems. No one listens to me. I tried to speak to my brother about my depression and he told me "there are somethings in life that makes people feel a way. These things are meant to make you feel sad some things makes you stronger. But sometimes you feel that way because you went thru a lot and that's the only way your suppose to feel." I want to go to a doctor about these things but I got told I shouldn't because jobs can request your medical history and if that's there it wouldn't look good for you. So I guess I gotta suffer in silence. I want to go to a councillor but I have no money. So which these things against me I'm feeling like in life. Some people are meant to be happy, and others aren't. I've always been on the unhappy side for my entire life. Right now. I'm slowly losing the will to live. I barely eat, sleep, I hardly look after myself, I'm not motivated to do anything. I'm a mess. I lost all positivity. For the past 4-5 months I've been contemplating suicide. Each time I stop myself from doing so my motivation to go thru with it gets stronger. It's got to the point where I've made poisons in order to do the job. I have suicide notes written for friends and family members. To everyone who reads this. I wish you the best in your life. I hope your stronger than me, because feeling like this with no one around to help you is the worst I wouldn't wish this on to anyone.
