2020 took everything away from me. I lost everything. I feel like ending my life everyday. If only I can turn back time…
Is there a correlation between catastrophizing and intrusive thinking? The other day I was laying down for a nap and out of nowhere it popped into my head that my ex has told our son that I’m dead and that’s why I haven’t seen him in three years. The reality is that we live in different states. I have no reason to believe that he’s even done this. But for some reason I was convinced he had. It’s almost like catastrophizing and intrusive thoughts came together. It happens frequently and it causes crippling anxiety attacks.
After watching several different videos on my fear of failure (which has me stuck from trying for a job right now). I found this the most helpful. I will be back to watch other videos!
“get some sleep” when you are so anxious not even able to sleep
Thank you for posting this video it helped me a lot and I’m sure it would help a lot of people.Keep helping and healing us.Love from India
I think abt my parent’s dying and i keep crying. I need help
Amazing, thank you. Catch myself doing this a lot and it’s terribly unhealthy. Thank you for the steps to overcoming the habits.
After listening to this regurgitated $2 drugstore self-help book nonsense I want more Catastrophic results in my life. Get em Oprah!
Does anyone feel that life is just passing by and ur wasting it
For me, it just makes it worse. I always feel awful after. And I’m not even overweight
“Whats the closes feeling of death youve ever have?”
Me: Going down to 2nd as being 1st in the leaderboard of a game
When I’m depressed, i can’t exercise. I only want to sit in a chair or lay on the couch. I’ve gotten fat because of it.
When I run while taking Mirtazapine I get a buzzing or ringing in my ears or brain. Anyone else experience this?
Catastrophizing is not something I do myself usually, but my mom and her boyfriend definitely do it when they talk down to me. Really works, because I definitely get put down, and just don’t feel good about myself. I lose my appetite, get neutrally angry and eventually start crying, takes multiple hours to get myself outta that mindset
I would start catastrophizing the moment I hear the THUMP…not even a thought of trying to fix it. Give up and cry immediately!
I want to stop Catastrophizing so bad.It has almost ruined my life.It is so bad that if my mother coughs i instantly start worrying about her dying of lung cancer and what would i do without her.Im at a point where i can no longer differentiate between situations i should actually worry about and situations that i shouldn’t be thinking about.
I stayed awake for 5 days and continuosly wrote all my chapters in all my textbooks TWICE
Why is there a “Kasamba” add conveniently hovering over this video.. listening to online psychics can lead to insanity and hopelessness.
So touching
I SUBSCRIBE TO EVERYONE WHO LIKES AND SUBSCRIBES TO MY CHANNEL,I DO IT FAST AND I SHARE YOUR LINKS TOO
It’s sad when someone isn’t aware that they do this, especially someone you love. The people that recognize they do this have the potential to change their thinking and become more positive, but some people just stay stuck there forever, in their own hell of self fulfilling worry.
Can relate to this. Feeling it right now. Hit a very intense lower body session today, all weights increased and progression across the board. I was so happy after but soon as I got home I feel like shit. Feeling tired,anxious and feeling sick. Very good video Aj, Id never considered this as a psychological training variable.
I really enjoyed that you included working at the Big Mac as a definitive catastrophe!
I had the same. I went to university but I failed the university and end up in mcdonalds. Now I want to get out but I am not understanding what can i do to get again on my career. As I am not understanding what am I good in. Its been 2 years but still I feel like I am blank from inside. Even if I am trying to change my thoughts. I am going out with friends but when I am with myself I can’t slop thinking about what can i do in life.
thank you so much for this, i expect the worst sooo much which causes my anxiety, which gives me aches, which makes me think the worse, and its a repeat so thanks so much
Ive been feeling awful this week and your videos literally CURED me
Are you Philip DeFranco’s sister? You have similar gestures. Also remind me of Scarlet Johannason’s smile.
Jaiden: Don’t overwork yourself and take care of yourself. Jaiden a year ago: No I can’t eat i need skinnier
To be honest I have trouble with sleeping and I haven’t slept in a month ;-; I can sleep now
I had an unexpected speed bump in my week and I fell right off of all of my routines. This list is a LIFESAVER.
im not catastrophizingmost of the time. i just beat myself up a lot about a lot of things.
Does depression causes over-excercising? Because i am depressed and i have been over-excercising most of the days because i want to get flat (because all my family tells me i am fat) but when i finish doing excercise i feel down and dont want to do anything why?
Being a cyclist you cannot think like this. Every single time I see an asshole behind the wheel. Never fails.
now i have to know, why do I get nervous and angry when I search for these types of videos, and instead of helping me do I feel worse?
Unfortunately sometimes things are catastrophic and there isn’t anything you can do to change it
how do i motivate myself via positive goals (instead of fear based “pep” talks) if i am afraid of becoming attached and obsessive over these goals to the point where i break my own heart over them?
Its like trying to live in daytight compartments. Shut off future and past and focus on imnediate present. The analogy is closing bulkheads in the hull of a boat. If we dont we sink like the Titanic!!
Where she says doing that same thing over and over and over is bad
Do we have a choice in 2020
I’m SO lucky I found your YouTube Channel thank you thank you thank you, FINALLY amazing therapist to follow 😉
much love to you
You covered everything I had on my mind somewhere. Loved it. Thankyou <3
Name a YouTuber that you think is overworking his/herself
Mine:
Camila Cuevas
Why:
She works for 10 hours straight for months
GOSH! YOU’RE SUCH A BABEEE HAHA. You’ve impacted my life in such an amazing way. Thanks:)
Lovely pep talk thanks. You have a beautiful clear voice.
Hope i see more video’s. Thanks
Tried out psychotherapy and gave up 3 months in. Thought it took too much time away from my mom’s day. I was recommended to take medication but I am anti drug use. I really don’t know what to do with life. I seem to just be going downhill.
Awesome, this is the best video I watched today.. Yes, we don’t hv to believe everything wht we think
the only time when i think and talk positively is when someone else is worried or anxious about something
How do you deal with failure: I Pray (Ask God if He really wants me to do this > if He does, ask Him to enable me). Then I try again, according to capability.
Philippians 4:6-9
[6]Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
[7]And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
[8]Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
[9]Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
Romans 8:28
[28]And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
2 Timothy 1:7
[7]For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
2 care should be taken..
1. Donot invest emotionally on 1 person.
2 donot expect any thing, believe tht this bird which is in ur hand,singing now, loving u, will fly next moment, will to others hand, and its a never ending process..its her genes
worst thing ever when you ARE hungry but the best choice of your life would be then pack of chips not a banana..
Thanks for the video content! Excuse me for the intrusion, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you considered Lammywalness Erase Depression Guide (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a great one off product for beating depression fast without the hard work. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my buddy after many years got astronomical success with it.
When she said, “You aren’t defective”, it literally made me cry.
I get tired in the middle of a workout..dont feel very gd after workout either..i dont understand..even physical work at home leaves me sad..cant talk openly after work with family..
This video came in the best moment. Thank you Muchelle. Really.
Great video!!! Thank you ♀️
Usually if I feel bad, the best thing to do is to go to the gym and sweat out all of my negative emotions! It works magic
Typed this up during the pause to reflect: I do this ALL THE TIME and I had no idea that there was a word for it or a solution to overcome it (which I have yet to get to). I’m equal parts excited and dealthy afraid…
My mom actually said just that when I was a teenager. 3:04
Great video, really relatable and I hope you continue to do more!
Replacing negative thoughts here we go…… This lady on YouTube won’t stay far away from me. She will seek me out. She will move geographically close to me. She will love me. She will be mine. She will talk toe in this tone everyday and chase away my demons. ❤️
I didn’t get diagnosed with depression, but i feel like shit since December. I lost motivation in literally everything, I force a smile on my face and I lost my appetite. I just want to feel happy again… Someone that can help?
Who has Burnout? Me when I am only 12: Yes, twice. Lets face it everybody has had it. Luckily I take breaks now even though mu mom doesn’t like it lol
Enjoying your channel. Love the insights. Very well spoken.
I got too stressed and cried in the middle of the workout I wasn’t happy at all I’m really jealous of the people who could do HIIT but I just can’t
The point about writing down about a current situation that is making you down, I’d also suggest if you don’t normally journal, that you should crumple it up and throw it away. I feel like it would continue to relieve yourself of stress or anger or whatever negative feeling is being cause by that situation.
Thank you for this vid. I tend to make up future made up scenarios in my head and they usually end up negative. Hopefully now i can learn how to think more positively
Look I’ve been working out for the past 6 months, and have noticed some significant improvement in term of the way I look, but in term of the way I feel? Not one bit, in fact any time I do work out I still feel severely depressed, before, during and after. So this bs about it being some miracle cure is just nothing but lies…in my case I haven’t felt any change at all. In fact it makes me feel worse because I feel this insane pressure that I’m not supposed to feel this way, and it makes me feel more guilty.
I don’t know if anyone experienced the pain of depression on the physical level. Like middle part of my neck and back usually hurts like I cannot explain and making me feel bad and anxious. Hard to sleep at night most of the times.
Thank you, thank you, thank you so much. I’m dealing with an anxiety disorder and just feel like sh** after going to the gym. This video helped me a lot to understand whats happening in my body.
Jaiden:don’t ever die Death:ight ima head out
This is so spot on man, glad I’m not the only one! Typically I do feel great after a session, with the endophins are whatnot, but sometimes it’s exactly what you described where your mood just drops off and you have no idea why you feel like shit. Tonight for example, I got really fired up and had the best leg day in awhile, but had no motivation to eat or study when I got back. Couldn’t have watched this at a better time!
Thank you for your video, you have some valuable advice here.
I am doing weight lifting, and getting serious gains but I also feel depressed. Guess I have to go slow because I don’t feel happy anymore.
I think depression doesn’t have cure.. i wish mental illness don’t exist.. I’m so tired
99% are pussies, get lives. Shit happens to everyone get used to it
Thank u for explaining the difference!depression has been watered down and not even taken seriously
Thank you so much for posting this. I actually don’t have a healthy mentality right now and Everytime I exercise I feel more anxious and depressed.
I always do the easiest pilates workouts and start crying during workout and feeling like shit the whole day. But I’m overweight and not strong enough so I need to workout. What am I supposed to do… i hate this
me: reads 6-5 hours at the end of the day
also me: does reading apply to this topic?
I get ONE text that sounds off and I panic. I feel guilty because ofc it was something I did, not realizing that these people have separate lives apart from the role they play in your life and the probability that its because of something you did is laughably slim.
thanks for a great video… i go to the gym and lift heavy weights because I’m trying to bulk up. I eat well,but feel so drained and low and weak the next day,.. i still want to lift heavy weights because I’m skinny and have no confidence in myself… what would your advice be to get rid of this adrenal fatigue? I feel like a old man,even though im a fit 47 year old,will this last forever?..
Vacation will help your mind to focus on fun things send us sad things
Wow the not enough sleep would explain why I get more emotional at night when i read sad stories than if i were to do it in the day
Bless you. You sound blah! But well done for doing this video. Very much needed for me at the moment. Thanks. Hope you feel better soon x
Life is just so hard for me, it just keeps dragging on. I pushed away all my friends so I don’t spend time with anyone and I spend my days in bed crying. I see why people resort to suicide
I’ve found that when I was depressed (type II bipolar), I could only bike 20-30 km at most. When I was in my usual state I could bike 80-100+ km.
when i am under stress and want just ignore the world i love swimming just in a relaxed manner and then float on my back just staring at nothing. i always think time seems to go slower as well. i love the water
I finished working out 20 minutes ago at first I felt so tired after working out my heart was racing then I just burst into tears and have a breakdown to my mom saying “why am I not pretty like all the other girls”, “why am I so fat”.
Spot-on re. Overshooting your goals; this one I can relate to and agree (psychologically) it’s the most productive thought process in the long run for results.
Good sign you’ve figured this out early mate, I didn’t recognise this till nearly 40 yrs old
Great content keep it up
I’m having a random spurt of sad rn… ik you’re saying all of this is normal but will these things work with depression?
I am anorexic and really triggered. i had no time to eat my food or even manage things that keep stress downs. I cant even leave the house anymore.
I dont know how many of these I’ve watched… I think I know a lot about whats happening, but i can’t seem to break through it…
I’m so relieved I’m not the only one who feels like this. I get to the gym with so much energy and excitement and I’m in such a good mood. Then I finish from a really good workout and I just feel “meh.” Like my mood just totally flips
Instead of black or all lives matter what abt no lives matter?
Thank you so much for this video it helped me so much! (You helped me find the solutions) ❤ hope u feel better
I had an anxiety attack out of nowhere about 3 days ago and i dont feel the same anymore and i keep searching up if im gonna die and get even more anxiety and idk what disorder i have someone help pls
Thanks for sharing mate. I had the same feeling today after having a killer workout. Thought I was crazy but your vid made me feel a lot better.
“what is the closest feeling to death that isn’t death?”
Nearly falling off the roof and my family didn’t even hear me calling for help
Have you ever had a crush on someone? If you did, then can you make a video on trying to ignore the fact that you have a crush on a girl? I’m asking because that is the type of situation i’m in. I’m not really sure if it’s best to embrace it since I heard it can go away someday.
that’s why I’m scared to go to the gym… il do a good session and feel really good, come home have a healthy meal, and feel on top of the world, which lasts till the next day, and then I get so down and feel weak and un-motivated, even though I’ve eaten well and my diets on point… i feel like ive lost all my gains and then I don’t wanna go gym again and get so pissed of.
I love this video so much, every time I min a shitty headspace I can just pop it on to help me out of the funk
First time I have started watching things like this….I’m not the only one!!!! Thanks so much for this!!!
Thanks so much for sharing your feelings I thought it was just me. I think it has something to do with low blood sugar so I will take a recovery snack with me hopefully it will help
WOW! This is the only content on the web that kind of explains what I feel. I get down towards the end of a workout and after, although it goes away after a while and I feel the wave of endorphins and eventually feel the boost in my mood. But no one can ever relate. Thanks man!
I don’t really get depressed… I just feel really anxious after working out.
Thanks bro!
I thought I was the only one who sometimes got depressed after lifting
Although I don’t get depressed as much as before, only once in a while, I notice I was not eating enough and had too much stress, I don’t know if that had something to do with it
I get it 2 days after my training!! Ive stopped because of that.
I went out running then suffered the biggest anxiety attack of my life! Good solid advice for when you’re not feeling in the right frame of mind.
Is this why I feel dizzy, and lightheadedness when working out intensively?
I love the background music and your colour combinations the mood in your videos is always so relaxed!
The editing is great.
Funny how I’m the exact opposite. ALWAYS on a post lift high, on my cloud after hard sessions, makes me a better person to be around when I’ve trained
Very relatable. Good video as usual. Age doesnt guarantee wisdom and you dont claim to know everything or state what you say is all true so fuck what they say mate
I will never understand those people who say that you are too young to judge/say things. that is just so stupid and ignorant…Everyone is aloud to share their experience and what they have learned, no matter how old. keep doing what you do Aj! I have learned sooo much from you and I can’t thank you enough for all the free information you put out there!!!!
Love this vid so much. So relatable with what I’m going through right meow:)
love it! and to be honest what should be the right age to put yourself out there and sharing your knowledge and expirience?? I mean I’m 27 and I can take away so much from your content! In terms of bodybuilding i am a complete youngster compared to you, so age is really so relativ. And there is no right time for anything. just keep on doing what you believe is right for yourself and share what you can truly stand for! keep it up mate 😉
Sadness = sad about something you know about
Depression = depressed about things you don’t even realize anymore
I’m trying to figure out where I’m at… can you also be depressed about something that you know the cause of, but have absolutely no power to change? Cause that’s where I feel like I am… but it still feels WAY different than sadness
I have depression and anxiety and i feel like killing somebody
You’re absolutely awesome! One of my favorite Youtubers after 2 videos under 10 minutes. you’re amazing and look like an Aussie Perrie Ewdards ❤
I searched for a mood swing and i got this video because i had this RIGHT after a workout. I’m supposed to be feeling good but im feeling kind of depressed! Why is that? And i got a conclusion. Well, its my first session after 2 weeks of not working out and this session was INTENSE and i did it on a fasted state with only a cup of coffee. The same was for you! You got this “mood swing” of your workout after a long break! And i saw another women in this section talking about the same conditions. I think its related to the intense workout after a break. I think its like a hormone shock that got us to feel like crap. We should’ve graduated while getting back on track and NOT EATING ENOUGH which is i guess the second factor of this mood swing.
how much school teaches me about anything:(
how much youtubers teach me:))))))))))))))))))))))))
thank you so much, these questions have intensely helped me in my daily routine. I literally ask myself some of these questions on a daily bases to improve my life and get my to-do lists done. I love your channel. I watch your videos and play them in the background when I am cleaning, drawing or putting on makeup. Keep up the good work!!
i don’t over work myself because i avoid work because its boring
Wow! I just found this video and it’s just what I needed!! ☺️
No i am upset because my mom hates me coz she sees me as a symbol for her not having a job i am not hungry i just want my mother to goddamn love me please susan
I need a patient supportive listener I need it but where can I get one???
Totally needed this today! I tend to get that weird negative/overwhelmed feeling when I’ve been super busy for a few days (or weeks) and then suddenly slow down… definitely the tiredness coming out! I keep meaning to try keeping a journal as an outlet for my thoughts, thanks for reminding me:)
School: “You need 8 hours of sleep per day to be healthy!”
Also School: “You have 10 hours of homework every night glhf”
The Hangry factor is real.
When I started being more mindful about amongst other things food & mood in order to get a long-lasting weightloss…
I quickly learned just how Hangry I get, so if I feel easily irritated or quick to being close to tears, I stop myself with the question: when did I last eat?
It makes perfect sense ofc as if your body is low on fuel keeping your mood in check is on the lowest of your body’s priority list. So eating regular is now a high priority of mine especially as I’m cutting back on unhealthy snacks that earlier slipped into my daily eating habits keeping the Hangry away…
Which now needs replacing;p
Learn to live with some risk. This is the crux.. we want to control everything.
thank you i have been depressed because my hamsters balls are too big
@muchelleb I am having a rough day and my first though was Muchelle always brightens my mood. Thank you for your videos. They are breath of fresh air
Great from number 3️⃣ onward I think it’s complicated put its almost everyday story.
I would really appreciate if you have all these questions written so I will keep a screen capture of them whenever I have these awful feelings.
So I could defiende and refuted them.
Thanks keep it up.
Just got hit ridiculously hard by depression for the first time in my life. Sorry to the people who have depression that I equated it to sadness before, or didn’t give enough attention to. This shit is unreal how awful it is. Just hoping there’s another side to it and I can somehow get back to where I was
I love you Michelle! and love your videos!:D un gran saludo desde Rosario, Argentina
What if u feel alone even when you’re talking to a lot of people? How do u fix that?
Excellent video. So useful. I’ll share with my family. I really think it will help more than one.
Working at McDonald’s is not a failure?.. Failing is street homelessness?
Best article I come to know on depression

I really needed this today. Thank you. Love your channel so much.
Actually I am watching it before my training because I know what is coming after training…:/
I don’t know if there’s scientific studies on feeling clean, but changing body temperature (hot or cold) is a known mood interrupter. It’s used a lot, in therapy. Showers are great, for that.
Wow I wish those were the things I catastrophized. Mine end up with me being convince I’m dying of some rare disease.
Also how do you keep your white sheets and towels super white? I love white but have a dog and nothing stays clean.
You talk about not doing the same thing over and over again but I’ve got a Question, what do you do when everyone is gone on holiday, you have like 2 weeks since your trip, you’ve 100%ed all your games and no youtubers upload anything?
My number 1 when I feel bad: i force myself to go outside. Number 2: make myself something to eat!
“Holy Frick, Yes, I hate that thing now.”
Me: GingaNinga…OwO
Everytime I’m on the way home I feel it a bit… I’ve never understood it but I began to see the pattern
Hi Muchelle!
I recently stumbled upon your videos as I was looking for ways to bring more self awareness and simplicity into my life, and absolutely fell in love with your channel.
Your content is so relatable and is really helping to guide me in my self discovery. Thank you so much!
I’ve never subscribed to any YouTube channel before, but after two of your videos I knew that yours was going to be the first.
I’m looking forward to exploring your old content more, and following your new videos during my journey xx
ONe more, watch your video when i want to find suggestion:)
I find that I don’t want confirmation of failure. Like I want to try my hand at animation, but I’m so afraid of screwing up or just not being able to do it that I don’t try. I already hate myself for not being skilled or talented, i don’t want reminders of it in the form of a botched attempt.
Really like your hair colour, want to get the same one, not sure if it will work with my dark air. Yours looks so fab!
Thank you so much for creating such wonderful videos, they’re super inspiring and helpful and just nice to watch. They help me with my anxiety disorder, for which I am super grateful!
In my experience, people can also becone depressed because they themselves have failed / are failing their own standards of integrity. For example, they are lying to or betraying someone and unable to admit or resolve it.
I’ve been really stressed over the last weeks and this video helped me so much! I went eating something and felt better instantly
muchelle i truly love your content, you cover things that i really relate to <3
My brain has been conquered by Endigo’s music, even when there is no BGM in this video!!!
It would be helpful if you made a checklist about this on your blog
thank you for posting this. it’s just what i needed. really appreciate your videos!
Oh, wow. This is way more informative than I expected, you did your research. Thanks! You’re awesome
This was excellent. You basically summed up all the self help books I’ve read into 6 minutes. Excellent Muchelle!
This video goes right along with how I’ve been feeling lately! Really needed it thank you so much you’re awesome
I wish I could help you all going through depression. Please dont give up. I know some of yall feel like going out the easy way but…. please dont.

Thank you so much for this helpful video! So many great tips and advice. Asking an “entity” to take off the weights from your shoulders and help you seems interesting. I hope that you are feeling better now! Take care of yourself xoxo
Well then, I must have ‘grief’. sigh…………Oh well.
“cast all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you.” -1 peter 5:7
I love how solution oriented you are. It really sets you apart from most other youtubers. Thanks for all the great content you create!
Love all the advice, except for that “chug at least half a litre of water at once” you can do that while exercising, but otherwise your kidney will have a problem processing that all out 😉
Just binge watching all your videos. You’re the first YouTuber I’ve actually turned notifications on for. I’m stuck in such a rut at the moment and your videos are helping me (slowly) get out of it:) thank you ❤️
Cheers A.J Morris
Had my first exercise class today after a few years of being lazy,felt alright in the class and now I’m home and I started crying and thought wtf lol
Makes sense now
I cannot calm down now, and just for going outside with My bike and the fear anyone can hurt me, with the fear to fainting, with the fear of someone could steal My bike, with the fear that a vehicle could run down. And i just want to cry, but i have to be brave. It’s a little example of how My life is… And I found out that My mom was and is the cause.
I’m at that state right now and I dont get days because we are understaffed, like badly and I’m only 17!! And everyone says I need to work, but also dont work my life away… I’m tires physically, emotionally, and mentally!

i feel this. i think it has to do with my brain but also how im feeding my body energy and i just get too drained
Thank you so much! I am currently in the process of trying to find a therapist but due to insurance issues and covid, things are delayed. I needed a bit of help NOW and your videos have provided that help! I am truly grateful for this platform that allows useful information to be shared freely and the people, like you, who choose to use it! I can do hard things!
My depression is worse than everyone. I cannot even do exercise with it
You know, having a cozy life somehow got me depressed. I wonder y.
sometimes i want to stab my mum so badly but instead all I do is stabbing myself.
At morning I feel happy and somehow at night I feel sad,why is that?
Wow this hits deep. Thank you Doctor, I’m a work in progress
There are two people I have told about my feelings, but none of them seem to understand how deep is my suffering, they rather ignore me or minimize what I say
Oh now I can meet you when I go to Arizona because there’s something I have to do with my name or my last name Aguilar on a swan billboard they said they’re going to be taking me so I can see it but I was planning on I’m actually seeing you too James an odd ones out but now you move to Arizona so I don’t get to see you there I only get to see James
Sometimes if it’s family members or friends I need to get away from themfor just for a little bit then I’ll come back to them when I’m all better and think things through that’s more what I do if people don’t want to be nice then I stay away from them that makes me a bad person inside
I am crying right now because of insecure feelings, i don’t know what it is,i can’t talk to anyone even to my friends, i think that this might go away but every day is same,i wake up with same feeling and sleeping with same feeling and sometimes i get feeling of fear and can’t sleep, my parents ask me reason and i can’t answer them,i am feeling lonely i don’t know what to do, someone please help me
I was going to click off because I don’t relate as much with burning out a as of right now, but out of respect for your work, (and because my 9 year old sister is obsessed with your videos) i finished the video
I’m depressed because my Sister is not with me she’s in Mexico and I miss her.im also sad because my dad Claimed that he doesn’t accept me as his daughter no more also my other sister use to always yell and me and say she hates me or even hit me until I start bleeding and ppl toke advantage of my kindness.
My parents don’t believe that I’m depressed and I have given up talking about my state. What do I do?
Every thought I have turns into a catastrophe. I’ve always struggled with this, but it’s gotten a lot worse since I became chronically ill. I go to therapy but I just don’t know what to do or how to help myself anymore. Thank you for this video.
But what if u take a break that is too long and get use to that?
What do u do then
I guess this is me. I dont know…. it just seems like everything goes against me. Bad things always happen to me. The bad things in my life outnumber the good things in my life. And I dont do things because I’m too scared of failing or something breaking or going wrong…. because that is literally the story of my life failing and bad things happening. I dont know what to do.
I loved that video. Since I just uploaded a “how to handle bad emotions” this one appeared in my suggestions and I love that those are really simple, easy to follow questions/advices and its really helpful. I love your videos girl, always so inspiring. keep it up!:)
You are very articulate, and without wishing to be patronising, I think you speak with a wisdom beyond your years. Well done.
Schools: I’m aware of the affect videogames have on children
Yes it does matter what kind of stress!! Thats bullshit. Adrenaline is balanced by other endorphins when you exercise. Agreed otherwise…don’t overtrain I’ve been there, but at the same time when I’m lifting and or doing some moderate cardio I have zero seasonal depression.
Does it mean I am sad when I wanted to die because I am tired of my life and my situation? Since I know the reason then its just a sadness then:(
This is maybe the first video of School of life that I find really bad and where the information (and explanations) that they are giving are just wrong or too limited and outdated. Who did the resarch for this one? There are different type of depressive disorders with a variety of symptoms, intensity and duration. Also the causes of depression can be very different and you don’t get depression only if you don’t know the “true causes” and if you know them then you are “just” sad. Knowing or not knowing the cause is not even a criterion for a diagnosis. For everyone interested you can search for DSM 5 depression definition and diagnostic criteria.
Me: I like chocolate jaiden
Jaiden: no one asked you
Me: wow salvage
To all the people living with depression, i wish you the best in your life from now on and may you fill your lives with releaf and meaning. I myself had some depressing moments and periods in my life, that i wish other people will never experience. All i can do to try and help anyone of you is to sugest you to read Marshal Rosenberg’s book ”Non Violent Communication, the language of the heart”. It is a method that really helped me connect with myself and others and really feel more ‘alive’ than ever in many years. I would be really glad to know that NVC has helped you becoming more ‘alive’ and joyfull.
Add in health anxiety and you have a horrendous cocktail that is my life lol
I THOUGHT THIS VIDEO WOULD TEACH ME HOW TO FUCKING COPE WITH DEPRESSTION NOT TO TEACH ME HOW FUCKED UP I AM
All thanks to mirahealings on Instagram,i was able to overcome my past truama and sickness,he has a gift of healing,creating bond and fortune telling
He is very reliable and will definitely solve your problems
I just had a cross fit workout session with some colleagues and I felt really guilty and I’m still having this feeling of self hatred because I was the last one to finish the sets. It felt really embarrassing for me because they cheered me on to finish the workout, which I really REALLY hated. After that failure of a workout and a complete shut down of confidence, I went to the gym to give myself a punishing workout and I didnt even have the energy to do that. No I just fucking hate myself and just wish I was dead.
Put your mind like you want to go somewhere far away from the drama take advantage station
Omg this was actually so helpful…I was skeptical…thank you Michelle!!
Sometimes when I’m depressed I want to take a vacation far away from the the drama
The only thing that really helps me coping with depression (yes, I have been diagnosed) is lifting heavy weights.
I literally can’t do this anymore. Every extra day on this earth kills me faster than I should be
I’m very sure everyone knows why they’re watching this. The difference because sadness and depression really helped me, because I thought there was no reason to be depressed or whatever I am. I’m pretty sure I do have depression but I don’t know if I actually do because I don’t want to worry anyone with my problems.
The few times I’ve said something, or I don’t know…no one reacts positively. It’s the attention seeking problem I guess, and I feel like I don’t have a place to put all these feelings and it’s just building up inside of me until…well until nothing. Nothing’s ever going to happen.
Y’know how we all have visions for the future? I just….I don’t see anything really. Maybe it’s that I don’t think the world deserves to have my life taking up space, or maybe it’s that there isn’t a point. I mean, everyone else in my life seems to know what’s good for me and what isn’t.
I know I sound whiny. I know I sound like I’m complaining. I know I’m probably an over zealous child who just wants to find something to whine about. That’s what people have said when I’ve tried to tell them this. I’m not trying to get attention, not in that way. I’m just looking for some validation from someone somewhere who appreciates my assets.
This video is really good friends try this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuRU7xsIs3E it will help to fight with depression
She’s using NLP with all the gesturing. She’s trying to frame her words simultaneously with her gestures so you remember what she’s saying. Look it up.
Idk if I’m depressed but I just feel like it’s hard for me to live going through this. My family and friends notice something is rong with me but I just push them away. They’re trying to help me but they don’t understand what I’m going through bc in the past few days I’ve been avoiding them and try to make sure they don’t know what I’m going through. I don’t like saying this but sometimes I feel like I just wanna die bc I can’t deal with this feeling anymore. I’m 14 and am moving schools next year and I’m pretty sure that is a big reason for me starting to suffer from anxiety.. I’m in a really weird mood now and dont know why I’m writing this comment lol. I geus I just needed to share the way I feel with someone or something.. if you red this till now, well then thanks for listening and I hope you will never get to feel the way I feel now or go what I’m going through..
Bye
I play video games and stay near people because it either distracts me or keeps me from my emotions
Just CBa anymore my friends isolate me and always leave me out and everyone looks at me like I’m a freak
Love your suggestions, i picked this up from a pastor, H.A.L.T if you get too hungry, too angry, too lonely, too tired. thanks for your suggestions xo
Just had a loss in the family but their are not videos about going to sleep with grief
I don’t know how much longer i can take this shit,been feeling very low and sad lately.
A close friend of mine is depressed, but I don’t know how to help him. He had a relationship but he cheated on her with his ex. Not once, twice but more times than that. However he regrets it until this very day (post 3 months since their break up). He says he misses her every day and it keeps getting worse. Thinks about suicide and keeps cutting himself. I feel so powerless, because I don’t know how to help him.
Hey guys, thanks so much for being chill while I’ve been a bit MIA life’s caught up with me. Thank you for sending lovely messages checking in on me!!! Literally I am so freaking lucky. It made me feel suuper special:)
I’m totally saving this to use as a checklist next I’m feeling bad
How gorgeous her teeth are is making me realize how much dental work I need done, which is giving me anxiety. She’s fired! What a mind screw!
Im going through really bad time if u see this comment its a request please pray for me….i hope everyone can get over the bad situation they are going through
Kudos for the video content! Excuse me for chiming in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you tried Lammywalness Erase Depression Guide (should be on google have a look)? It is a great one of a kind guide for beating depression fast minus the hard work. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my buddy at very last got cool results with it.
My friend left e for this reason depression but then again I never Told them I had it.
“depression is sadness that has forgotten it’s true causes”
i feel that
Hello random person, Are you okay? Why did you search this up?
If you have depression please talk to someone you know your life matters, people still love you. If you die people will be sad…
Thats how much people love you. Just please talk to someone.
I want to LIVE. I want to LIVE. I’m insecure about my weight and appearance. I have to love myself, i have to COPE WITH REALITY. Please don’t give up, i love you. I may not know you, but i know how it feels. I know the feeling of not living. I know the feeling of pain, just don’t give up. Please. I’m with you, im with you.
These tips are so spot on! I completely agree with the shower part. I get really irritable if I havent dad my shower routine by late morning.
I’m feeling really down hehe….. sorry if I’m bothering you’ll but it hurts…..idk what though……I have been trying to ignore this feeling and be happy but it hurts…..idk how to describe it….please help me
The bills need to be paid and no one else is going to do it beside me, plus the alimony isn’t going to pay it self
I have officially diagnosed major depression and I know everything that causes it so….:/?
I just can’t do anything about depression other than killing myself some day.
What really bothers me about being depressed is the reactions you get when you talk to people about it. They will either tell you you need to take this pill and you’ll feel better (lies) or they will say just get over it your life is easy and no one absolutely no one is supportive. So fuck it I just keep it to myself now.
I’m suffering from servere depression because of evens that’s happened In my life and ptsd because of I’m so depressed but I’ve had enough. I’m 13 I wanna live my life to the fullest and be happy. And not sad and I’m my room all day.
Hey bro im feeling depressed before workout and when i do workout i feel not so motivated. And after workout im just sad… why:( please help me
Thank you so much for this advice. Every time I have gone to gym I feel so awful so am just gonna try some aerobic excersize, jogging n skipping n then just walking n maybe some yoga. Thank you.
Well idk what to say cause Some of these things are true by me….
What really helped me feel better is to think that I don’t have to cope with depression (or anxiety or fear) but rather see them as a motive (or opportunity) to change.
Feeling completely overwhelmed is part of the process.
Finding ways to cope and live with it is a good first step.
But seeing it as an opportunity to improve, a reason to treat yourself better and do what’s good for you is what’s gonna change the way you experience everyday life.
Hope this helps someone feel better, it’s not easy.
When I’m trying to explain what’s wrong people get mad at me, causing more stress, sadness and frustration. “What’s wrong?” They ask
I don’t know
I’ll try to say “it’s overwhelming”
“WHAT’S OVERWHELMING?” They’ll yell
“I’m not sure” I’ll stutter unsure of why I’m even trying. There’s too much going on in my lifeI hate change, everything is changing. I’m lonely, major changes are happening in my life, due to personal shit and this Corina virus stuff. I wanna cry all the time, I can’t not want to cry. Anything might set me of. A group of teenagers snickering as I walk past, wether they where laughing at me or not I don’t care in the moment. “I look awful today” “I look fat today” “I don’t blame them for laughing at me” “look at me I’m gross”. I think that everyday. Everyone around me seems uninterested in me or seem like they dislike me. I can’t go on much longer. I need medical help but my parents wouldn’t understand, I know them. I have tried to tell just about anyone and everyone; my best friend, thought I was joking and played along. My sister; belittled my problems and made out I was lying. My mom, couldn’t get a word out. My dad, didn’t understand I was trying to tell him.
Help me
Wow okay. I didn’t have a clue that it was mania that I was experiencing. Thank you, that’s really helpful.
I wake about 6.30-6.45
I go eat a smoll snack for breakfast
I go to school
I get to work(in school)
I play and eat(at Recess)
I get to work(in school)
I go home
I eat lunch
I get to work(home)
I take a 30 minute break
I go shower
I get to work(home)
I eat dinner
I play 5 mins
I get to work(home)

Then I sleep
I am getting stressed
How many I get to work where there
2:27 Now that we know that TheAMaazing was studying to be a doctor, this makes a lot more sense
Every time I get too much work I just leave it I just break it I just try to hide it I do not want to overburden myself I’m freaking nine
Its like a monsters telling me everyday… untill ill be to weak…
A previous therapist taught me that I’m always looking for chaotic situations because of my PTSD. I’m so used to feeling and being in scary situations so I automatically create similar scenarios in the present day. Living like that for so long left me with the idea that being in healthy/happy situations are extremely uncomfortable and not normal. I usually expect the worst and overthink people’s reactions and I walk around so afraid of everything. I like this video in the sense that it addresses these issues.
Your quality is pure amazing, whats your equipment currently?
The one thing I love doing when I’m stressed out, anxious, or depressed other than mindful grounding exercise is to run and sweat it all out.
This is probably the third time I’ve watched this video. Thank you
I 100% relate because I use catastrophize from 8-19 years old. This mos def gave me anxiety & depression 5-6 years. Fortunately because of my fighters spirit I battled all 3 of those internal struggles. I no longer have depression & anxiety. I’m unlearning to catastrophize
Anyone else watching this because Corona anxiety is ruining their lives highkey?
The closest feeling is during quarantine (I have insomnia) and I would stay up and pull all nighters and have 2 hours of sleep from naps in between. It’s horrible. It’s like a hangover but not a hangover, it’s kinda hard to explain.
I don’t sleep that much and I always have black lines under my eyes and they won’t come off
4:48 she looks like someone from I don’t remember but looks familiar
The topic is misleading
It must be how to differentiate depression from other feelings
That is incorrect conclusion the closest feeling is when your liwing at Ermi the younghome
There this person they wanted to be friends with me I said on they texted me on tik tok I didn’t think much of it then they started asking for my picture like my height I was 12 at that time I turned 13 this July plus texted me again they kept asking me for the pics I said no they didn’t listen I started crying I couldn’t sleep couldn’t eat they ruined my life plus they keep asking me I can’t sleep at all pls someone pls help me pls pls pls plssssss
These questions are actually so sound, and I love the step-by-step format. I’ve recently found your channel (after reading the life changing magic of tidying up) and I have to say I love it!!
At my old school, we had a famous people fair. And oh boy, I really kinda overworked my self
the comment that i posted right now is what is happenning cause im watching videos in night time
I am recovered from 15 years of depression. I am here to tell you all that recovery is very possible and not to lose hope. Your depression won’t allow you to see it, but you are an amazing person and you do deserve a happy long life.
I live in la county it is insane right now {I am in Redondo Beach}:):):):):):):):):):)
another three girls who were my “bff” left me yesterday… i got abandoned by my bff 2 months ago. Another three girls abandoned me?!?! I have no friends left. Only a girl named alyssa if she left, i will kill myself. Life is already hard having a alcoholic dad and a mean brother and a mom who doesnt care. Why me? If i cry, my mom would say “u dont deserve to cry” i cant cry in front of her.
I seem to feel very anxious after a workout. Is this normal?
I cant stop laughing
Through all times I watch with video
I cant stop laughing at 1:42
Am I the only one who thinks Jaiden sounds like Raylla from the dragon prince if she had a scotich accent??
I’m so depressed that I’m crying just because I agree to the details in this video..
Hey random reader…
Don’t work yourself out. You are doing everything you can. You will get there.
I’m trying to enjoy myself by playing games I even play two games at a time too but it’s the same game over and over and over and over and over now I’m getting bored now I like doing something else that is completely worthless:>
Hey can you react to a song it’s called it okay by you it’s a song by you of videos it’s by endigo and your awesome videos and you
omg, I’ve been looking but what is the song you use in this video??? I need it for when I clean!
i thought thinking of the worse would make you feel ok if the worse do happen, and if the latter happens it would be rewarding.
You are always pretty, but today I’d just like to say you are beautiful!!
I had a great day an I was in a great mood all day.
have a great night or day
The problem is that the work that you do have to be something you love and you want to do over and over and if you find it only like a work and something that you do only for not do die starved is not good for you
🙂
I deal with mild depression daily. I try to keep myself busy, but if I stop and get bored, then it is hard to get going again.
Move your awareness to the area between your legs, imagine a light stream connecting to earth and think that all the negatives flowing out into the earth. Let me know how you feel.
Im only 13 years old and im struggling with anxiety guilt and sadness and im sick of it its unbearable
I still have a problem about this way of thoughts. For me, catastrophizing still sounds appealing because to me it works like this: something bad happens to me, or something gets me worried, my brain then starts looking for everything that could go wrong not only out of habit, but also because I have this belief that doing so I’m getting ready to react to anything that could happen. It’s true what you said, but if I have to imagine myself in the situation of the guy with the flat tire, thinking about the possibility of being robbed, attacked and such, would be a way for me to keep an eye open and be ready to react if those said things, who aren’t impossible, were to actually happen. In a sense, I’m getting a double effect that’s gonna help or save me if the worse happens because I’d be mentally ready to react, but at the same time I’m gonna feel anxious for nothing if nothing bad happens next. It’s a double-edges sword for me, and that’s my main problem with catastrophizing. I know most of the time it is just damaging me and making me anxious without a real reason, but at the same time I kind of want to keep doing it because I believe it would be a life-saving when the worse really happens. In short, I’m so scared of the worse that I prefer to be anxious at nothing than being calm, confident and hopeful and then getting taken by surprise by the worse. What can I do to fix this habit of mine?
Thank you for the good content! Opened my eyes up a bit more in understanding some of the things I tend to do in my social anxiety. Maybe I need to find a therapist who specializes in the particular type of therapy to help me accept those varying emotions that are a part of a full life. Because currently I feel that I am hiding from life to protect myself from discomfort.
One small critique… I found that your microphone picked up a lot of the sounds of your hands and arms moving around, jostling the microphone and rustling the shirt material, which was a bit distracting. Maybe try filming with a mic in a stand or try to wave the hands and arms a little less.
Otherwise great content! I’ll be watching more from your channel! Thank you
Thanks bro this is helping me alot considering ive also dealt with a host of psychological problems. I’m doing good now but after todaya leg workout and the last couple days ive felt depressed or downregulated after my workouts. I feel better after eating but just knowing that I’m not alone really helps alot and I think this video is rwlly powerful.
If you are overworking and sitting, actually move around. It can kill you to sit for to long
