Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.

[@BenjaminCanales-nn9gi]

Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!

[@chrisbenoit5044]

Yes, Steve_porassss. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today

[@Malaikamuskan-v5z]

I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.

[@BenjaminCanales-nn9gi]

Is he on instagram?

[@chrisbenoit5044]

Yes he is Steve_porassss

[@taniadolphy5122]

Living in this world can contribute towards anxiety and depression. It's affecting many people 😢. You've identified your situation, and it sounds like you're on the right track. Stand strong, Perez . You will improve ❤.

[@PerezHilton]

Word!

[@kiroolioneaver8532]

Thank you for being open, honest, and vulnerable!

[@nicolesgray]

You are such a good dad, taking good care of the kids. Glad you are open to self-care and love. Sending love.

[@kellypalmer7052]

My anxiety is debilitating. I also have depression. I’m here P. This is so relatable what you’re posting. Thank you for bringing awareness. 🙏🏼

[@PerezHilton]

Sending you light!

[@Michele-ti1qe]

Perez, I just hate seeing anyone feeling this way because I know exactly how you feel. I've battled anxiety and depression for many years and after my divorce it felt like I just couldn't cope with anything! I didn't do the little self care things as well as I once did etc. Then the pandemic hit! I went through a very lonely and the toughest time in my life! I sat in it for more than a year then decided to go to therapy. And because gyms were shut down I started running outside. These two together, plus focusing on my faith, have helped me to feel hope again. You'll have good days and bad days, but keep going for your children. You'll begin to feel hope again too. I was addicted to my toxic marriage and husband. I was hard on myself about everything. You got this! Lots of love! ❤

[@PerezHilton]

Big hug!

[@deborahshampoe-bg2ek]

I know how depression feels. Just try to do one positive thing at a time. Get through one hour at a time. Love you. Remember one thing at a time. You got this. Love and peace.

[@OleensEmbroidery]

I'm 74 and I still recite in my head the words my father drummed into my thick head. "Are you going to control your mind or is your mind going to control you?" We are all going to go through anxiety but don't let it define you. Baby steps, one foot in front of the other. The Eckard Toll philosophy combined with my Dad's has served me well. It will get better. Even at 74!

[@PerezHilton]

Wise words!

[@Maggiemae33]

Please give yourself grace. I feel you on so many of these levels and am so sorry you are hurting. One day at a time and when the day seems too much just one moment. I know you'll do it and thrive! I am so proud of the good human you have become. Been here since the start. You've done so much and please remember grace. Focus will come through grace!

[@WishFulfilledState-zy4lm]

Dear Perez, I'm so sorry that you're struggling just after you're beautiful little vacation with your daughter. My birthday was yesterday and I'm well familiar, like so many others, with what you're describing here. You are NOT alone, and my heart is filled with empathy for your what you're going through. You're absolutely right about all of this. It's a daily, sometimes moment-to-moment struggle. I am glad that you have the tools at your disposal and steps to take. 'Know what you mean about the fitness, too. All of it. When the slightest thing feels like a chore. Here for you!!

[@JL-zn7me]

Anxiety and depression go hand in hand. It’s important that people are aware of their minds, bodies and emotions. These things can be helped, with the right help. Exercise is so important and raises your Serotonin and endorphins. I too have been too busy to take care of me! You will find happiness again my friend.

[@PerezHilton]

Thank you!

[@JennSkywalker.]

Hi P. I struggle with my ADHD. anxiety & mild/severe depression. I get addicted to work easily as it distracting for me so I don’t always cope well with my feelings or thoughts. Everything you said is so relatable & unless you suffer from this, it can be hard for others to understand or empathize. It’s so debilitating. This year I told myself no more as well! Although im better, I’m still a work in process. Sending you a big hug & praying for you! Thank you for being so vulnerable!

[@ameliahenderson4955]

First of all, give yourself some GRACE. You are recognizing your behavior and feelings about those behaviors; that is hard to do sometimes. I can relate to everything you said. I am in remission from major depression, anxiety, and different kinds of addiction. I am on medication, but yes, regular exercise has been a Godsend for my mental health. Once you get started again, your mind will clear and you will sleep better. Your job is very difficult and challenging as you are forced to deal with reporting tragedy and bad news at times. Thank you for sharing your feelings. A lot of people have this struggle and it helps to hear and see others talk about it. Much love to you and tell mom that I said, Happy Birthday! You got this, Perez! We are all in this crazy life together ❤

[@shellylavigne5913]

I hear you…❤

[@ok_Computer_]

I feel you 100%.

[@ryanrobinson7178]

Hey Perez, just know your in my thoughts. I can honestly say, I don't know how you feel but I understand. I have been sober 10yrs but still suffer from stress, anxiety, triggers, and depression. Just remember your Fram loves you and things will pass and get better. If all you did for the day is survive , then thats okay nothing else gets done. Also, the Happiest of birthdays Mama Perez. 🥳

[@woowoochuggachugga]

I went through a journey of depression that lasted 3+ decades. The last 8 years have been spent in hermitage. Very lonely, abject desolation, no hope in site. Love yourself, push mow your lawn, walk around outside barefoot. Connect with only what is important under God. Put aside all expectations you allow others to cast up on you. Love yourself❤❤❤. That is the key that helped me. Also, understanding that it is my CHOICE to be happy has been life changing. Your body is temporary, your soul is eternal. Make it healthy and your body will follow.

[@lolacookie453]

Sending lots of positivity, strength, light and hugs your way! 🤗❤️🙏

[@DavidHorse800]

YOU GOT THIS PEREZ YOU WILL OVERCOME anxiety I BELIEVE IN YOU 💪💪💪💪

[@user-ln4qe1sh8i]

Weird how this has found me. I had an outburst earlier as I have 2 siblings battling mental health whilst trying to deal with my own issues. I've been struggling since the passing of my father last year, combined with being unemployed for so long. Decided to distance myself from those who are only adding to my anxiety, it's actually holding me back from happiness. On the positive, I've got back into exercise daily and my beautiful cat is my real comfort at the moment. Thank you for uploading this, I've been so upset by Liam's passing, it's amplified previous trauma of my eldest brother taking his life in 1999. This never leaves me 😢

[@proinseasnihanluain4735]

I'm sorry for your loss and the struggling in your life and in your family. Thank goodness for your cat. The daily exercise will also help but your little feline friend will help you so much. Their purrs help our hearts.

[@user-ln4qe1sh8i]

​@@proinseasnihanluain4735Thank you. Tbh that's not the half of it but I'm still standing. My cat is my world, I love her to bits 💗 the exercise is helping me, lost over 40lbs since May this year, I let myself go after I lost my father so it's been a slow process but I keep myself motivated by gradually being able to fit into my favourite clothes and doing daily affirmations to really get my confidence back. I will get there in time 🙏🏼

[@susansmith4268]

Praying for you! If you are a person of faith, you can go to your faith and even write it down and put it somewhere near a picture or symbol of your faith. If you’re not a person of faith, you can open your heart to it. It is there when everything else is gone.I write little notes and put it at the foot of the cross in my house. And I just pray to release whatever is causing me stress, anxiety, or sadness.

[@user-ln4qe1sh8i]

​@@susansmith4268Thank you. I am a woman of faith Yes, I was raised Catholic but I'm not practicing, just deeply spiritual and use my discernment now to navigate life. I prayed yesterday for our Most Highest to help me get out of this rut. Ever since my father's passing my confidence has been at rock bottom, then trying to find employment has been so tough on me mentally but I feel maybe it's gods protection, I've been through so much that time has been needed for healing. Thanks again for your touching message 🙏🏼

[@pastaisgood6681]

I’m an anxious person too. I used to get panic attacks everyday for over a decade. Give yourself grace, you are only human. It’s hard not being happy, and it’s hard feeling shame for not being happy. It’s a hard feeling, and it’s valid. You are not less worthy of a human for being depressed. You are worthy of grace. Baruch hashem, blessed is Adonai.

[@Nonnie9114]

Sincerely Thank You Perez!! Please know you are not alone. I so appreciate your sharing this. It is truly comforting to know when we are struggling ourselves, you are so relatable. I wish you all the best. You got this!!!❤

[@teacheraprilrogers]

I have to do these things same as you. I too have to go back to the gym. I have not gone in the last year. Not once. I did get on the scale for the first time in a while this morning and I am at the lowest weight I have been in years. That made my day so much better and in a way I am not happy that being at my lowest weight is something that makes me happy. I can relate to you 100%. I work online as an independent teacher and I have to post on social media and share with a specific group to get new students. I need to shift to videos and I never motivation to. I am 50 and this shift is hard. You have been co bring the Liam Payne tragedy with such compassion and caring. Please take care of yourself. Let's you and I go to the gym. Drink our water. Eat healthy. Care for ourselves and our children. Let's take care of us. We can do it together. Anyone who wants to join in lets all support each other.

[@kateaye3506]

I am with you in not going to the gym. Self care hasn't been a priority. I think we need a gym goers support group. ❤

[@nikkiponio4193]

i can totally relate to these sentiments.. it has been my entire struggle, every month.. Keep going Perez..

[@angelicadiaz6413]

stay strong! much love goes out to you, you are not alone! I love you with every fiber in my being.. we all need to love and support one another NOT BRING EACH OTHER DOWN!!!!! keep your head up!

[@isleofmaz6295]

Perez, I think that more people understand your struggles than you know - you are not alone - please be kind to yourself X it's ok 💖

[@savagebubbles..]

Hi Perez, I feel you. As a long term sufferer of anxiety and existential depression, this hits hard. Maybe all the darkness you post on is not helping it for real. I’d rather see you happy and healthy than seeing all the coverage on truly heinous shit. Please continue to take care of yourself. I’m right here with you on all the things you mentioned. We will SURVIVE because we are resilient mofo’s, man! I’m keeping you in my heart and thoughts.❤

[@88tribe143]

Yes yes yes! All these are goals of my own! I have been dealing with my anxiety and depression recurrence the past 3 months. We for this Perez 💪🏼!

[@RMRetief1111]

💖💖💖 Perez so much going on right now, full moon 🌕 Crazy energy to help a purge coming up, it’s going to get rocky but that’s how we learn, it really is all about the small things. You have been covering HEAVY material which you deeply understand and your coverage is so gentle, much appreciated. Hang in there, you are such a light. You give us so many laughs during loooong hours and hard days, for decades now ✨💖👏 You will be remembered for sure. Pioneer of pop culture in many ways. Self care is the secret to this universe, it reprograms the mind for you 😊 It powers up your internal battery 🔋Love yourself Perez you are so amazing!!

[@lionessroarsjohnson2684]

As long as it is not any kind of health issue, even low vitamin D can cause depression and, anxiety. I always tell everyone to make sure they have their hearts checked, thyroid checked, vitamin D, adrenal glands. Health issues can cause these. Being proactive is key. If it is situational, you may need a professional to help you deal with these issues. You are talking about it which is therapeutic. Glad you are doing this. People need to talk to each other. Try to be kind to each other. You are going to be fine. You are taking the necessary steps to feeling much better. Im sorry that depression has robbed you of your joy. You will get it back. I apologize about the comments on the breakfast. I actually was thinking where do you put it because you look great! I didn't know you were struggling. I thought also it was a cheat day. Once again I apologize. Overlook me. Don't be hard on yourself. Get ahead of the depression and, anxiety and, everything else will fall into place.

[@mekylieme]

Perez, I have been there in the past and am climbing out of it now. It's so good you are recognizing it and we have to know when we need to take care of ourselves when we get off track for whatever reason. We got your back! I'm going to do this with you!!

[@Vic-hh4we]

Sending you love.

[@Gavaldo]

Go easy on yourself Perez. Take it day by day and don’t put yourself down. It’s very common to get anxious and emotional especially when you’re not sleeping well and working with the subjects you’re talking about. It will get better but just remember to keep your friends close and speak to them. I know you said you’re struggling with some private issues but your inner strength will come back and this will pass over time. Day by day my friend. Your biggest strength is your understanding of the situation. Sending you lots of positive vibes. I get very lonely sometimes as a 48 year old male and I have friends but nothing helps except for trying the basics to eat properly and sleep better. You’ll get through this.✌️👍✌️

[@janloraine]

Thank you for recognizing your sadness and sharing it. That’s the 1st step to recover imo. Here is a big 🤗 hug for you. Happy birthday Mamma 🎈🎉

[@kekefarrar3332]

Tomorrow is my mom’s birthday on the 22nd. The 22nd is also my husbands mothers birthday. His poor mother ended her life years ago from her struggle with mental health. Thank you for being vulnerable with us a sharing. I just had a baby 2 years ago and i suffer pretty bad from postpartum OCD. The intrusive thoughts are so wild. Normally I can control my brain but lately it’s just been getting harder to deal with on my own. I have an appointment Friday to go ahead and take the step to talk to my dr. I hold onto God and his word in a daily and I know that’s what’s been saving me. But it’s definitely time to seek the Drs help. I pray yours gets better and you find relief. We aren’t suffering alone, even though at times it feels that way. I just recently got rid of all my social media except KZbin. That breaks really helps a lot.

[@angiek8333]

Bless your heart sweetie... I'm going through such similar feelings and things as you've mentioned here.... It's hard to admit... Esp the self care. I've been in a state since losing my husband in June and i know it's situational and i need to continue to come out of it.. I'm trying. I've gained weight and my health is suffering..... Thank you for this video, hearing you say all this and relating as you openly admit these things... I'm to try with you... I wish you all the healing energy light and love in the world.. you do deserve to be happy and i'm rooting for you 😊❤

[@Gforu81]

Sane perez same.

[@tlc2024.]

I feel exactly the same as you. I have felt like this for a while now and I know what I need to do to help myself but somehow find it hard to take the first steps to helping myself . I will do this with you and you have made me feel less alone, so thank you and best wishes from England ❤

[@charismalorelye4516]

Thank you for sharing Perez. I'm going through it too, ill reset with you! We love you back! I sincerely wish you good health and happiness!

[@Trysaratop]

I feel like after Liam Payne it started a huge backlash to everyone that has similar issues. It was a huge trigger. Thank you for this video. I let my anxiety get the better of me lately which has made me depressed. I’m also super unhealthy so let’s all get on that health wagon.

[@courtneygoble8379]

The struggle is real. Thanks for sharing this… it makes me feel like I need to do the same and be honest with myself! ❤❤❤ hormones are also incredibly important when I was in my early 30’s I was feeling in a funk not really depressed just blah. My testosterone was undetectable I started TRT and omg the cloud’s parted the fog lifted. Amazing I might need to get my hormones checked again it’s been a few years. Wishing you all the best!

[@gretakacinskyte4101]

Sometimes I feel sick even thinking that I have to see and meet people...My heart starts racing, my hands and feet turn cold... But take some time and go easy on yourself. There are persons and even animals who need you, your love and care. Nobody and nothing is worth your self destruction. You are worthy just because you exist. You have reasons to live and you are the priority.

[@Georgeborey771]

Same I went to a restaurant yesterday and for some reason I was nervous, scared, anxiety creeped in but I felt better after it was over.

[@lopresti4559]

I have learned some helpful things from studying- Zen a bit. 1. Life is like a river, we can't steer or control the river. Don't waste ur time trying to steer or control the river. 2. Let Go or be Dragged. and nobody wants to be dragged. 😅 3. Zen says, "your problem is, u are too busy holding onto ur unworthiness." 4. Chaos is the dance of the universe, accept it and let go. 5. Don't worry in life. If there's a problem u can fix in ur life, don't worry, just fix it. If there's not a way u can fix or solve something, then let it go n don't worry about it either. ❤ don't worry either way. For me, learning to think in a Zen way, has helped me to think better, healthier, calmer. I had to learn to breathe and to Let Go. 😊 it also says to love ýourself, flaws n all.

[@TheWellnessCuess]

I struggle with anxiety also ! writing things down in a journal helps alot 🌸

[@9milprincess]

Thank YOU for sharing... I can honestly say I understand. I'm sorry you're going through this but alot of people are who don't or won't speak up. And it's so hard to find people to truly get it- so many people just say unhelpful things that ultimately piss us off more or make us feel worse. We all need different ways of help, and to try different ways or methods or medication. We're all different with our own needs. Sometimes it's trial and error or to get up just to fall again over and over. I have no magical words for anyone else or even myself-but I just really hope everyone stays strong and that we can all feel better at some point. ❤

[@dnsh8088]

I'm dealing with Adhd and depression but that doesn't prevent me from achieving my goals. Back then, I had a terrible acne problem and addiction to caffeine. Now, my face is becoming better and not drinking caffeine drinks everyday. Listening to soothing music and reading books really helps. Not consistently, but slowly. Caffeine interrupts the hormone. Hope you're doing well and remain calm. *Hugs*

[@eternalriver7866]

I recently learned what anhedonia is. When nothing makes you happy and you just feel numb. I pray you feel and it is wonderful

[@Joeblogs999]

Stay strong, we're all going through some dreadful sh*t. I know how you feel.... you're not alone. Just remember you have beautiful children that love and need you

[@smartchick649]

After my family member 🪦I couldn’t get out of the bed for an entire month, I didn’t even have the energy to do anything. Depression is real, be kind and gentle to those that suffer from it and don’t tell us to just get up and fight through it, it doesn’t work that way. 😔🤦🏾‍♀️

[@mojavewolf1]

I deal with the same thing !

[@pbj4338]

I completely understand. I try so hard to keep my anxiety in check cause it always leads to depression that I struggle to get over. Stay strong, one day at a time, and be kind to yourself..... you're a beautiful person!

[@ajpussinboots5062]

I know how you feel - because I have been exactly the same for the last few months. The eating no sleeping anxiety depression no exercise or self care no love for hair skin nails etc. it really sucks doesn’t it!

[@caronbryan6543]

❤❤ I’m so addicted to pop culture chisme and social media too. Helps with the loneliness for me

[@Gavaldo]

Yeah likewise for me as a 48 year old male I get very lonely in a busy city where I have friends but as you mentioned I’d rather find an excuse not to do something productive and sit on KZbin for hours a day. It’s about taking it day by day and not being to hard on yourself if you don’t accomplish something you plan. ✌️👍✌️

[@caribelita]

In solidarity, I’m going to join you for this month too. ♥️ I’ve found I’ve slipped into depression as well and also struggle with a lot of anxiety, and like you, I stop taking good care of myself when that happens. It’s a vicious cycle as you know. Let’s do this for ourselves and in memory of Liam, because if there’s any lesson to be learned from his death, it’s how important it is to take care of ourselves not just physically but also mentally and emotionally. Sending you all my love and rooting you on. LET’S DO THIS!!! 🙌🏼 ♥️

[@harmony3279]

I pray that this young man find joy this day🙏!!..

[@johannasturlini-ym6sh]

Thank you Perez for posting this. I can relate to all you have said. You are very courageous in being honest and in this way you are really helping the rest of us because you are putting into words how many of us feel out here. Thank You.

[@proinseasnihanluain4735]

Thank you for sharing this. Your truth is the same truth as so many. Everyone can identify an aspect of themselves. Be kind and loving to yourself. You don't need to go off the deep end- little changes are easier to keep going. You don't need to go to the gym every day or be a certain weight. But sleeping better will help your body, mind, spirit and focus. Gift yourself with some kindness. When you are looking after yourself every area of your life and everyone else's benefits. You feel better, you deserve to. Mental health challenges can sometimes link with self sabotage. Don't let a few pounds hold you back from being happier *NOW* x and remember- you're already at other people's ideal weight! x

[@beccaboo3040]

Bless you Perez i know what it's like i have anxiety i had it so bad that i was very poorly. Being around nature really helps. Go for a walk everyday and take your beautiful children out with you for they are healing aswell. I also have to step away from all social media which i believe is a trigger. 🦋💙

[@carolm6952]

Hey Perez! I so understand how you feel. Yes triggers and stress send us off. IT IS REAL. O have a treadmill at my house that I do everyday. I put on something to watch and do it . I was diagnosed on 2021 with Breast Cancer. I had a double mastectomy and radiation. The roller coaster of emotions it gives you is not fun. My bloodwork is off and now liver scans and a spine mri to make sure nothing or something is there. So this week not good for me. So I have empathy for you. This too shall pass. I take anxiety meds. I'm sorry for all that you are going through. Hugs. I'm pulling for you. One day at a time one hour at a time if needed. Your joy is non negotiable. 🙏🙂❤️

[@julieannemichelle]

Happy birthday to your mom!!! The 20th is my older brother’s birthday! Perez, I really think you need help. You say you don’t like meds but they work and I don’t understand why anyone would put themselves through that type of suffering. You’re worth feeding better! Life will be better when you feel better. I take anti anxiety meds and antidepressants and they work. I also have a therapist I regularly use. Please help yourself.

[@teresamartin4482]

I enjoy you immensely. You are a beautiful person. Oh my gosh, if you changed name, this sounds Exactly like what I've been going through. I plan to cut back on junk food, stop drinking so much coffee, and do some walking. I'll follow you as we do what we Know we need to do. Sending much love and support your way!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@sarahconway4810]

Your awareness though is amazing. Big hugs and love to you, it's exhausting. Something I heard once (and I know it differs for everyone) that resonates : depressed = deep rest. Your body is letting you know.

[@carolwalmsley3362]

I had days where i couldn't be bothered to do anything, wash, dress or go out. But honestly you will overcome this because now i go out and enjoy life. I believe in prayer 🙏 and not medication which i think makes you worse. Perez you make me laugh and that is what everyone needs right now is laughter. It is hard at the moment because of what is happening in the world. My partner accidently drowned some years ago and since then i thought i am going to enjoy life and live for the moment. I am sending a massive hug 🫂 from the UK. God bless. Xx

[@mirgrant]

Thank you 🙏 I’ve been going through it too!

[@mmmmlllljohn]

Hi Perez, I feel for you. I’m sorry you are really struggling and I’m glad that you are sharing it as so many people struggle with their mental health. I wonder if connecting with your therapist is something you are thinking of doing? Also, do you need time away on your own to just sightsee and be a tourist … like away away … maybe Spain? We will all survive if you take a couple weeks vacation. Would an early morning walk help if you don’t feel like the gym right away? You have to take care of your kids’ father so you won’t be on empty just trying to survive. I hope you know you are loved, not only by your family, but also your KZbin fram. I will be praying for you. ❤️🇨🇦🙏

[@dit_vivi]

I totally understand your situation. As a survivor of severe child abuse I've lived most of my life with depression. I have anxiety, depression and PTSD and currently employed in a toxic work environment. After struggling for over a year with your same symptoms, I've had enough. Many won't agree with my choice as I'm now on vilazadone (I've tried a few types throughout my life). After a week it's like night and day. Anxiety has been dialed down a lot and I'm able to sleep and concentrate. I've started back running and exercising and eating right. Get some help Perez.

[@brendashelonko2149]

Perez, you are such a hard worker and have many responsibilities for your family. I struggled with anxiety and depression for 20 years before I sought psychiatric help. I had resisted medication to my detriment, thinking like you that I should and could power through on my own. I was wrong. I had suffered unnecessarily out of fear. Please see a psychiatrist. Medication is not an admission of failure. Also seek therapy.

[@JoJo-vv9rs]

Thanks for sharing... maybe don't hit yourself while you're down. Commit to working out or walking and then weigh yourself. Don't buy the bad stuff that way if you est bad you have yo go out of your way.... you can still do it but it won't be as easy. Think about the alternative of not having your mom to celebrate... enjoy everyone close to you. ❤ you!!! I think more of us can relate to all of these things more than you know.

[@ellisivy4303]

Hang in there Perez. To me it sounds that instead of putting even more pressure on yourself, you should opt for lowering the pressure that is already on your shoulders. Meditate, relax, take a lot of me-time, take a break from gigs, social media, all the input you’re getting. It’s too much when you’re already anxious and depressed. It gets overwhelming…. Ps. I’ve been having severe anxiety which turned into depression and I seriously thought it would kill me. It’s been a struggle all my life, but last year was the most horrible “dark night of the soul”, and I eventually came out as a “new” person. If you want to talk I’m here. Greetings from The Netherlands ❤

[@bobbi911]

Perez I have followed you for many years, watched you and your family grow, I totally understand what you are going through, depression sucks, just doing everyday things like brushing teeth and drinking water can be so hard to do! Like you know all the things that will make you feel better but just can't do it! I'm sending positive love from across the pond❤❤❤

[@BubbaChevy]

We love you Perez and happy birthday to your mom 🤗🤗🤗

[@NA-kp1lk]

Wow! You just said everything that is me now. I will start tomorrow too. Proud of you because you could just give up but you are doing something about it ❤ Happy bday to your mom 🎉🎉

[@popcultureperspectives164]

For myself, Perez, my crippling anxiety that became agoraphobia was rooted in CONTROL... trying to be on top of everything... trying to not let anyone down... trying to please people. You get the idea. Liam Payne had the same problem. He called himself a "people pleaser" & he was taking clonazepam for his anxiety. So, he struggled with anxiety. Listening to you, I'm hearing a similar need for control that could be a contributing factor. You're wanting to remain competitive in your career. This has you pushing yourself beyond your limits... drinking lots of coffee to stay awake to get round-the-clock updates on trending WORLD (different time zones) news to quickly make videos. So, now you're not only hyped-up on too much caffeine (which is anxiety creating in and of itself), but you're also going without much needed sleep when sleep is a necessity for recovery & healing. This while you're feeling a lot of "have-to's" & being tugged in different directions when your mind and body is desperate for rest. You can absolutely want to do those "fun" things, but your mind & body are shouting: "We need rest!" This adds to a sense of losing control & being at war within oneself... which increases anxiety & the increase in anxiety increases depression (feeling like a failure... feeling unable to meet demands...beating oneself up). Throw in easy access junk foods that don't nourish the mind & body... and it's just a recipe for an endless negative feedback loop as you grow more tired... more anxious and more depressed. So, I don't know that the gym is the answer. You're adding MORE pressure onto yourself to do even more & control even more. Sounds like you need a break. Now, the gym can come with that break where just focus on giving your body what it needs & less on the competition of round-the-clock world news that... let's face it... is also a downer. The news about Liam has been a real downer & you've been on it constantly. Enjoy your mom's birthday. It'll do your spirit good. Then, get some REST! Take a break!

Wow, you were spot on! You know, you! I’ll pull up and match you on taking accountability (acceptance) tbh. I heard something yesterday that has stayed with me: “identify the patterns so that you can predict the future”. It’s so real! 💁🏼‍♀️💗

Something that helps me, is that I tell myself that none of the anxiety matters. For example, when we're kids we experience "end of the world" type of stress, but looking back as an adult we realize that it was all silly nonsense. For me it's ego driven, so I stopped reacting to selfish people. Coworkers who gossip, or do less work while I do more, people who drive selfishly, or do selfish things in stores... none of that has anything to do with me. I literally ignore it, allow myself to just get through it, while continuing to be the person that employers/society/family/friends would want me to be, ultimately who I want to be, and I don't attach myself to the actions of others. Everything passes, and it passes in an instant if you don't make it about yourself. It took me years of maturity, and fully understanding. The emotions that we want to live in, are the emotions that we want to hold on to. Ignore that evil twin in your head who tells you that the negative stuff is what's important. It you're missing a decesed loved one, allow yourself to miss them. And, continue to love them. Our appearance is not greater then our experiences. Cherish what makes you happy, and always lead by example.

Mi Amor , the first thing is to recognize the problem or situation and you did that , it's very easy to fall into that pattern , especially when in the past it already exists that "pattern" , I can relate with you , how little things like brushing the hair or brushing teeth seems like an impossible thing to do or simple don't care . All that is part of depression and affects sleeping aswell , you can even gain weight even if you diet . It's sucks , frustrating and very easy to let go . You are incredibly handsome and a beautiful person with a beautiful heart, You have a great attitude to start looking for help , nothing wrong on looking for help , like that you can help others that I know plenty here on social media suffer in silence. Yes !!! You can start baby steps on working a bit out 💪, eating a bit better , always seeing things in a positive way, focus on the little things and yes less coffee 😂 I used to do 3-4 cups daily I'm doing 1-2 now 🤷‍♀️ I have to set small goals in order to get it done . Just remember we love you ❤! 💋 Kisses for your mom 🎂 🎼 y q cumpla muchos massssss 🎶 😘😘😘😘 god bless her

This helped me: 2 videos on youtube from the- "Goodful" channel. Anxiety meditation, and the Self Love meditation. The vid. for- Stress is also good. Check them out. And don't be so hard on yourself, we all have anxiety in today's world. To some degree or another, we all have it. its the new normal. 😊❤

🫂 I know the feeling Perez! ❤

[@ausflygirl3430]

Very honest. Please spend time with a therapist, however you fit that in. Make it a priority. Your lack of sleep is concerning. No one can do that for you. Get a check up with your primary care physician (PCP). Please make changes for your health and wellness. Small changes every day.

[@Retro_Disco]

Thank you for bringing this up.

[@po3ticjusticemusic381]

I live with anxiety and panic attacks every day, I hope your okay man 🙏 stay strong and always here for a chat 💪

[@hmmmidunno]

Perez get back into regular therapy. I have major depression disorder, generalized anxiety disorder and OCD. I completely understand. I am very triggered by my weight and my OCD meds have caused me to gain weight, 30 lbs to be exact. I've been trying for years to get it off. SLEEP IS SO IMPERATIVE. SET STUFF ASIDE. Are you over booking yourself? Sleep is a necessity like food. Get some structure and routine going. You will be okay. It sounds like you have some great plans. I am starting a plan to eat better and get the weight off. Much love to you!

[@coleenbarr]

Perez, I am going through the exact same thing. Love to you!!!

[@domaniquehariford4110]

Thank you for sharing! I feel the same with food and with sleep. Exactly like you.

[@carlashepherd9362]

Bro hang in there! I suffer from these thing’s too! Having a pet will help! ❤️😘🤘💪💪

[@MsRachelsStudio]

This world sucks but you do not! You are a good person and worth so much to so many. Be strong in your self and in your resolve. Love you first and all else will work itself out.

[@lolacookie453]

Perez, I can relate on both fronts! Anxiety and depression suck but they are manageable! You’ve got this! Sending you much strength, light and hugs your way! 🤗🙏❤️ PS My brother is a psychiatrist and when I’m going through a bad bout of anxiety or depression he always reminds me how incredibly important sleep hygiene is for your mental health as well as exercise! Be sure to get enough sleep!

[@deemorrison8891]

Acknowledging is power! Anxiety is baffling, but you will conquer it. We love you! ❤❤❤

[@Erica-wy8zx]

Living with depression for 30 years. Sometimes for no reason. I smoke instead of eating which obviously isn’t good. When I don’t have to work, I could stay in bed all day. If I didn’t have a dog, I would. Know that you’re not alone and there are good days to look forward to that spring up every now and then. 🌻

[@laraoneal7284]

I have periods like this also. My depression can be paralytic. I’m not exercising like I should bc I’m losing strength in my arms and legs so I keep saying I have to do Strength training. Then yesterday I tripped & fell here in my apartment. I could barely get up on my feet. I had to grab onto my ottoman coffee table and an ottoman nearby to pull myself up. It was scary and I said yo myself that I have to start strength training today. I have to get my strength back. I refuse to get any worse than I am. I’m addicted to YT and online shopping and I’m out of control in the shopping area. Ty Perez for bringing this up. I’m a childhood trauma survivor and my life is just plain HARD. I’ve done years of recovery work and I’m still not cured. I guess I never will be. They say DIFFICULT CHILDHOOD, DIFFICULT ADULTHOOD. I won’t give up though with Gods help. Not the celebrity god Satan. The real God our Lord Jesus Christ. Love ur authenticity PEREZ. You are precious to me.

[@Amanda_J-y8y]

Lots of ❤ P, as an anxiety sufferer too I don’t think there is ever a day I aren’t afraid to some degree , hoping you are feeling bit better in this moment. X

[@ashleyjohnston2710]

You've come a long way! Good job on self identifying.

[@christinadavies9862]

I'm right there with you....wish we could talk🙏💜

[@sherryelebeauty]

I think politics is affecting all of us! Perez, you have been growing and making big changes. You are better than you have ever been. I have grown with you watching the man you have become. You take care of your family. You are an amazing son to your mother and an amazing hands-on father to your children. You are a hero in your family's eyes! Have a beautiful day, knowing your loved ❤

[@tuto108]

Ha ha, I so relate, and you are so funny telling yourself to pull yourself together. For me, and maybe you, it really has to get bad to get re-motivated to jump out of the slump. Sugar addiction is my ferris wheel-- eat, gain, anxiety, depression, eat and around we go--up and down and up and down, down, down. You're on the bottom, so there's only up, up, up. You'll do it!! That was a great talkin' to, as we say in the south.

[@agattachp]

Thanks for sharing this with us, we are here for you as well ❤

[@toityb]

I suffer from anxiety induced depression, so this is a very true statement. I take meds, but sometimes, that just isn't enough. BIG HUGS TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!! You have a sister from another mister over here!!!!!!!!!!

[@ZurisResilientNetwork]

Yes, anxiety and depression can manifest through persistent feelings of worry, sadness, social withdrawal and a lack of interest in previously enjoyed activities. A physical symptom of anxiety can be rapid heartbeat, while depression is characterized by persistent sadness, fatigue, and a loss of interest. Recognizing early warning signs such as changes in behavior or mood swings is crucial for providing timely support and intervention. Both conditions can lead to social withdrawal and difficulties in school, work, family, making it essential for friends and family to recognize the signs. Early intervention and support can greatly improve outcomes and coping strategies. Don't struggle any longer.
