As most people do, I struggle with anxiety and depression. I'm also OCD and on the spectrum as a high functioning autistic person but I view that as a strength, not a weakness. For a little while now, I've been taking Sertraline (Zoloft) and so far it's mostly helping with my anxiety and depression. Although, I still tend to give in to my OCD compulsions. I waited far too long to seek help/medication and as a result I unnecessarily suffered and lost connection with my crush from long ago now but it still hurts deep down inside, even though it doesn't affect me in day to day life anymore. I have refused to forgive myself for the way I was around her, as I dragged her through my shenanigans. If I ever come to terms with myself, I will then be able to let her go. A crush may not seem like much, although in my particular case I viewed my someone as something more than that. I genuinely cared about her and had good intentions, I just couldn't get out of my own way. My message to anyone here is this: Don't wait to get help/medication. Address any issues you may have ASAP so that way you can get back to living life again. Mulling over everything and hesitating like I did never works and doesn't accomplish anything. Peace. Deven

I have lost my cat in June 30, 2024. His name was Rocco and was the best Pet the ever be my best friend. I wish I could have hugged him one last times before knowing it was the end. I have been composed and swamped in grief and I can't seem to be as happy as I used to, all the happy moments turn into sad ones because Rocco isn't here to enjoy them. I have been on meds for 2 years with existing issues before this and they have worked wonders. But now, I feel nothing when I take them. I just feel lost in grief and have been told that grief isn't normal for a pet this long. Hope I can spread love even when I'm not feeling it. Treasure the moments you have with your pets, because, you never know when it will be your last! Love you Psych2Go! Thank you for a video that hit home!

Having been through two or three rounds with inherited depression/anxiety, I've studied up on it and discovered an interesting thing. Since depression affects the normal flow of a neurotransmitter named ACH across synapses in the brain, it actually does have a physical causal root. Meds such as Prozac help to restore that flow. Having been there to a very high degree (suicidal thoughts, as a confirmed Christian/Catholic I wouldn't wish this on anybody (including an ex-landlord, a couple of former coworkers and a few ex-friends. I've had a broken finger, a torn knee meniscus and a couple of root canals. Those COMBINED are NOTHING when compared to the sheer and unrelenting depths of depression.

As somebody who actively partakes in Yoga, it's certainly not a cure all. In fact, it can be a very intense form of exposure response therapy where intrusive thoughts come running in stronger than ever before if you're unmedicated. There are mental health benefits to it, but ultimately, it's the mindset that you're in and facing the mental illness where it's at and accepting it as part of you that'll bring you peace. Insisting someone do something that works for you is guaranteed to not have the same effect for them. Mental Health is finding the techniques that make YOUR brain healthier, not a one size fits all type deal.

I literately have had touching do it alone! I realised in early childhood that there wasn’t an emotionally present parent who would tell me everything was going to be okay when I was struggling to cope!
I struggled with the idea I was LOVED! I remember squeezing my mum’s hand twice, and telling her that whenever I did this I was telling her I loved her! All I wanted was for her to squeeze my hand twice too!
So, I kept the whole Ito myself! Now I struggle because I truly don’t think people are capable of understanding nor capable of compassion

I just going to say this just to get it off my chest. I've been diagnosed with BP 1 SA (severe anxiety) and SD (Severe Depression) for five years now and it still sucks. I'm 100% alone and I'm still struggling. I finally gave myeslf a mental check and I'm trying to become an artist but I feel my mind slipping, and everyday is still a struggle. Seeing your videos makes me feel less crazy. I really appreciate your videos and always look forward for the next videos!

It's already been three years since I started the path to managing my mental health problems. In an extremely open and healthy way. At this point I can barely recognize the person I had been. Now I'm still working on it. I've been learning about my problems more and seeking the needs for it. Talk therapy can only do so much. I ended up taking more meds to help manage my anxiety. I'm not ashamed of it but it does have its own problems. Like remembering when to take them.

That breathing part reminds me of the times my dad said You're weight is starving your brain for oxygen! Meanwhile, he forgets the fact that he struggled all his life with his weight. and he didn't always act that smartly, either! Ever meet an accountant that can't do the math No-wonder ever car he ever bought was a crap-pile. until my brother & I intervened/interjected, and found something that was far-better than anything he alone decided on.

Many use mental health to gaslight those who aren't doing well and are struggling especially on social media to online. Autistic is more use of a slur nowadays to much worse. To gaslight it must be nice for those who get validation and so much unneeded help with their mental health not everyone is that lucky or fortunate.
School shootings to worse cases are example why American mental health system is one sided and very baised.

I haven't tried visiting a therapist on my own due to its cost and my fear that my family might find out that I am struggling with anxiety (which my mom seems to be aware of given how she knew that my chest pains are a sign of an anxiety attack.
Only way I cope with it is by writing through my journals, daydreaming, and listening to music. It helps me escape from reality for a while before going back to my senses

I’m one of those people who tries to forget about their anxiety and depression. But there’s one person in my life I can talk to about it, because they experience the same things. That helps. Everyone else thinks I use my anxiety and depression as an excuse for things. Also, I’m not sure if I’m the only one who experiences this, but I can’t do breathing exercises, because it triggers my asthma.

The environment where I'm from and how my past and loneliness kept on devouring me within time, did not help at all! The unfolding happen, and I was in a bad spot. but one day something changed for good and I decided to do what I don't do at all but now I do it cause I love it and it feels good.

I lost my former significant other due to my suicidal tendency outbursts because I was so confused, hurt and absolutely off last month and it's a whole other story, what happened to me last year. I just want to be happy, build relationships with people and find someone who's meant for me, you know I'm sorry that I'm all over the place with this comment. I hope y'all understand.

One thing I’ve learned about mental illness: it’s perfectly fine to want to help someone with mental illness, but sometimes you should leave it to the professionals. It depends on the person of course, but if you attempt surgery on someone else without proper medical training, you’ll definitely cause more harm than good. Same goes for mental health.

Thank you for this video. I like it much more and I find it more realisitc then just chaning your mindset. Especially the point about acceptance. I think learning to let go and accept your situation for what it is, is very important in dealing with mental health problems.

PSI! PLEASE READ THIS!
I'm just wondering if you could make a video on Depression & ADHD, Since it's fairly common but rarely noticed. I also might have it but your videos are just easier to listen to and understand compared to most of the other ones, thanks! :)

And I have a friend that would never say anything like good that I’ve done they always say shut up or nobody cares and win. I want to hang out with another friend they say that I can’t, and I have to hang out with them.
