I was sitting at my desk feeling depressed and anxious, and saw this video. I played it while I got up and swept a couple rooms. It was really nice to clean while 'hanging out with you,' I feel less alone, like there's a person here supporting me while I do something not very fun. What you're doing here on KZbin is awesome, and I can't thank you enough for your dope non-judgmental attitude.

[@michelea5820]

When i cant find the motivation to clean the home i watch one of his video and everytime i feel this deep need to start cleaning

I am 46, and I've been medicated for depression for about 10 years. When things started getting worse for me, I had just been diagnosed with a neuromuscular disease. My husband bought me a bird feeder, because he kept seeing me stare out the window. After that, he got me a bird bath and hummingbird feeder. I was starting to tell him all about the birds, and I even got a book about birds - so I could learn about them. My husband was so happy with my progression, he built a coop and got me chickens! We lived in "town" (population 750), so he built the chickens a series of tunnels in 3' and 4' sections that we were constantly moving. Soon, we had people stopping and watching our chickens - school busses, people eating lunch in their cars. Not only were they helping me, they were making others happy too! I just needed something to focus on, and that shifted everything for me.

Give your husband an extra kiss and hug for caring and actually doing something to help you. Added benefit of the chickens, you get fresh eggs....

Good morning all. I appreciate this video so much. I’m 65 and have struggled with anxiety and depression since I was a teenager. Back in those days when my mom took me to a doctor they called me “high strung”. I went on medication in my forties and it helps tremendously but I do still struggle now and then and still carry the label “high strung “. Thank you for helping me feel more “normal “. Sorry for the ramble❤

[@UnrulyHousewife]

I'm 65 too and when I was 20 I went to the doctor about my depression... He asked if I was married and I said I was engaged. He told me to get married and have a baby as soon as possible, because by working my natural instincts were being crushed and making me depressed. 🤣Ah, the good old days. Glad we are being helped properly now.

[@lauriepicerno]

@@UnrulyHousewife yes! I’m glad mental health is treated as a health issue and not considered a moral weakness🤗 Take care

[@highlandjournalart654]

I understand this too. It’s taken me to reach my 6 th decade to understand the interplay between emotions, thoughts and depression. Thank goodness for medication too.

[@Greatbiggrandma]

I like that you admit your struggles. I’m terrified by the holier than thou clean freaks. I’ve always felt lacking

[@jimnelson9775]

@lauriepicerno : if you’d been a boy, I bet they wouldn’t have called you “high strung” … and @UnrulyHousewife : a variation on the theme! It is scary (and horribly sad) that it was so recent that people were forced to behave in such a strict either/or, boy/girl, fit-into-the-box way… I know I’m not saying this well, but I hope anyone reading this understands. I’m trying to say that double standards suck, and I’m sorry that you both were basically ignored because you were young women. I hope that you each found or are finding, ways to love yourselves.

[@heatherkoch1644]

I had my 17 year old twin boys watch the portion of this video where you're discussing your mental health. They're both on the spectrum and struggle with panic disorder, depression, anxiety, and adhd. Your perspection and lived experience is beneficial to others who also struggle with those diagnosis. Thank you, sir, for sharing. I appreciate you!

There was a huge pile of plastic soda bottles accumulated in a corner of the yard. He was to take them to recycle...put it off for months and we didn't understand why.

I teared up hearing your description of the management of depression and anxiety when one has a purpose. So beautifully put. I can relate. For a long time, I thought I had to find the perfect purpose in life, but now I realize dedicating myself to something that has purpose works. It doesn’t have to be the perfect dream job. Helping others gives me purpose. Making art gives me purpose. When the two overlap, my feelings of depression and anxiety are so much more manageable. Also, I so appreciate your sense of humor.

[@theunsteadysteader]

Thank you Mr. Shoes-pants-shirt for inventing the concept of clothing!!! You have saved millions of eyes from either being 'popped out' or being 'seared out'. Not only I, but in fact the entire world thanks you from the bottom of their eyes...😮😂

[@E.Meyers]

The more of your videos I watch and really listen to you, the more I realize I have depression and have since I was about six years old. It’s all starting to make sense. I don’t like being on those meds as my doctor did that after my mother died when I was thirty. It was horrible! I am now seventy and always been a procrastinator. After watching this video I went and threw out (recycled) a heavy big box of junk mail that was blocking my front door. Now I don’t have to move it every time I need to leave the house! Big step for me. Thank you honey! 😊

[@stopcreepingyouweirdo]

I'm 47 and also grew up in Ohio and have probably 90% overlap of the "brain chaos" and struggles you spoke about. There's really no way I can thank you enough for talking about this. Medication and coping help tremendously to keep the noice down, but coping requires practice and habit, which can be very hard for many of us. That waking with a purpose is critical to remembering to practice your habits. I'm not there yet, but I'm much closer to being at peace and I really appreciate the reinforcement. Especially if it means I don't have to Breakdance Battle you.

[@SpoonieScully]

I’m 23 and I know that’s not old but for a diagnosis like autism, it’s harder than if you were a child. I recently came to realize I’m most likely autistic and I cannot begin to explain how freeing and helpful it feels to just know that there’s nothing wrong with me. I’m perfectly normal, I just also happen to be autistic. Finding these videos has helped me immensely in feeling like I’m not alone. MMC’s personality and cleaning style is so parallel to mine that it helps to calm me and I just have to thank you for that. I know I’m rambling now but all this to say, if you’re an autistic adult, you’re seen, you’re valid, you’re loved, and you’re NOT alone ❤

[@BelleVanSchijndel]

I'm 28, a mom, and currently figuring out I might be autistic (with the help of my therapists) while in outpatient treatment for depression and social media addiction. Thank you for being so open about this; it helps people -- like me -- feel seen and not so alone.

[@christinecornezcolmenero9356]

You're not alone. People with depression and anxiety don't always feel safe talking about it.

[@lillianbarker4292]

My son was diagnosed with anxiety & ADHD when he was nearly 30. People thought he was a slacker. Even after he was diagnosed they still thought he was a slacker because they didn’t understand it. So thanks for your helping people understand. You are a great teacher.

[@dearbh1736]

I was diagnosed with adult ADHD when I was 50 - I am 59 now. It was a constant battle trying to explain this diagnosis to family and friends because, just like your son, they have their own ideas about me and don't really care to understand. I don't even try anymore but on the up side it has changed my life in terms of my own understanding and self-growth so I'm fine and I hope you're son is doing well too.

[@gayleyb1233]

I was diagnosed with clinical depression. You have expressed the answer to reducing depression and anxiety so concisely and accurately that I am literally picking my jaw up off of the floor. I have gone through the exact same steps you have experienced. From trying to "find myself" to getting a routine or a schedule and a purpose. My Mom was a reading specialist in Los Angeles county. Both my parents were educators. They believed in schedules or "habits". My dad noticed I was aimlessly floating around. He said "honey , just get up everyday. Get ready for the day like you had the most important thing in the world to do. I'm not saying thos is the answer. It's just that your day will be so much better than if you had just layed in bed all day. " I'm on a low dose antidepressant. It works. But what really works is exactly what you said. Have a purpose and a goal and a routine.. I am SO happy I found your channel. Sorry this is such a long ramble, but you have helped me more than you know. Cuz now I'm goin' out and drop kick myself through the goal post of life and get busy. Because this past 2 years of sitting and laying around doesn't feel normal to me.

You described my life exactly! In my family you weren’t spiritual enough or full of sin. I was 35 when I went to counseling, it was helpful. At 50, I got some medication that helped physical symptoms of anxiety. I’m much less reactive, as you explained. Good for you on your journey! I’m 69 now, and quilting and sewing is my peaceful place. I started sewing at 9, and still at it. I love your videos, they are peaceful for me, and I love your goofy humor!

I’m sorry you were made to feel like you were full of sin or weren’t spiritual enough. That’s not what Jesus would want. I’m glad you’ve found ways to cope with your anxieties, and I do hope you have a loving relationship with Him, the way he’d want.

I find it funny that those who treat depression/anxiety, etc as a spiritual problem don’t see other conditions as spiritual. Need glasses? Need insulin? Intolerant to gluten? Just pray more!!!🙄

[@tamigutschall336]

I'm trying to clear a space so that I can start sewing again. It's a slow process with my body issues. Growing up, I was the shy one who had a hard time speaking up. My mom was unkind and did none of the household chores, that's what my sister and I were for. As I was the eldest, I was responsible for both of our chores. I'm now 64 and hate the process of cleaning, but I'm not wealthy enough to hire out. I do what I can do with a body that hurts daily so that only my closest couple of friends can come by once in a while. I don't feel sorry for myself as I still have life, and God is by my side. My dad told me once when I had a tizzy fit saying something wasn't fair. He said, "I've told you a lot of things about life that it's fair isn't one of them. " I remember that when I start thinking something isn't fair. I began noticeably struggling with depression and anxiety after menopause. My grandmother had the same issue. It's hormonal, but I'm treated with a depression medication. It mostly helps unless I get behind in my chores. That's when I have trouble kickstarting myself. Thanks for this video, as now I feel like getting off my butt!

[@Somewhereintime22]

I’m 67 and grew up with Toxic Jesus too. It never ceases to amaze me how some interpret Jesus’ teachings into a big ball of meanness, hate, and destruction. It’s almost like they didn’t actually read what Jesus said about love or they decided it’s Opposites Day when interpreting the Bible. It sounds like you’ve found a peaceful place with your sewing. I love sewing too and hope to get back into it one day when time allows.

[@cheddabits721]

Thank you for this. I've been battling depression and anxiety for what I know now is my entire life. I was diagnosed with bipolar 1, BPD, depression and anxiety in March of this year and it's opened my eyes. I've started a small cleaning company and growing it has been a huge challenge. But these posts have encouraged me to keep working on it, and even start my own KZbin channel as a way to finally find some sort of hobby that is productive and eases my disorders. I have a loooooong way to go, meds are working but needs some adjustments. I don't have much help but that'll come again with time and effort. As for today, clean my room which I've been putting off for weeks .. that, and maybe take a shower. 😅 You're an inspiration, thank you.

[@jeanniesmith3705]

I also have bipolar disorder and add. Procrastination and just feeling stuck is a huge issue for me.

[@UnrulyHousewife]

One way I combat my paralysing depression and anxiety is to ask "What would I do if I loved myself?". So say if I had to decide whether to sit around in my PJs all day, or go and have a shower, I would ask myself that question and most likely have the shower. The same might apply to doing the dishes, or going for a walk. The wording is great, because it doesn't even pressure me into saying that I actually DO love myself (which just feels weird and fake). For me it really helps. Love the video, but I must admit that watching you try to snap up that polystyrene and fit it into the box was triggering to the max... So suck it son. 😂

[@kirstiesanchez]

A big thing that has helped me with depression is forcing myself to think more positively. Every time I thought a negative though I would write it down and then write down a positive one to combat it. Eventually I didn’t have to write it anymore and noticed it and corrected myself right away. Speaking more positively to myself has helped a ton!

[@tracypetry2887]

I can sometimes be bad for thinking negatively but at one point I noticed I would use / think the word "worry" a lot...I mean 100's of times a day. Positive (oh I don't need to worry about that now) to negative (I need to worry about this) or procrastinating (I can worry about that later). So, I said I was taking that word right out of my vocabulary. I was using it so much it weighed on me. It took a bit but really helped.

[@kirstiesanchez]

@@tracypetry2887 yes that’s awesome!

[@Nothingtosee666]

Such a heartwarming video. Yes life can become overwhelming but I agree that the state of your house / a room can be the mirror of the state of your mind. We have to kind to ourselves and listen to what both our minds and bodies are telling us. It’s not easy. Also 1000% agree about the meds. I have depression and have needed meds for past 20 odd years (not continuously). It can take weeks for meds to kick in and can take weeks / months to find the right dosage. Keep talking to your doctor and don’t just think “oh they aren’t working” or “I don’t want to bother the doctor again”. Keep at it. The meds I used to take stopped working for me so had to try a new one so just because a Med used to work for you, it might not when you next need it. Everyone - have a lovely week ahead and be kind to both yourself and others xxx

Thank you for this video! I spent Wednesday afternoon cleaning my bedroom. It was messy, not dirty per say. I just kept walking past laundry baskets filled with clean, folded laundry...crap on my nightstand...unmade bed, etc. I'm 60 and divorced, full time caregiver of my 31 year old autistic son, and I knew that my mounting mess of a room was a sign of depression that I was trying to ignore. I can't tell you how good it felt to just dig in and clean that bedroom! Next up: my closet! time to part with some old clothes. I'm thinking about going back on medication for the depression, and sleep doesn't come easily to me. Thank you for talking about this. Growing up there was definitely a stigma to seeking therapy, and "Have a drink" was the answer to everything, the only coping mechanism demonstrated to me and my siblings. You can imagine how that worked out. The sunny morning has turned cloudy; maybe today is the day I clean my closet. Enjoy your BBQ this weekend and thank you again!

I'm 56 next month...I've been suffering depression since I was 6 years old. It hurts my heart to remember little 6yo me wishing I'd never been born. No child that young should feel that. Anyway the very smallest thing I do when I'm 'going through it' is tell myself OUT LOUD "this is not permanent, this will pass, just hang on" and in a couple hours it does pass. I'm aware that this won't help anyone else probably but who knows. And a new way I've found to help my depression and now my fun new anxiety is watching the videos on this channel. Your voice is soothing, the sort of repetitive nature of cleaning is calming, and it seriously gives me the energy to get up and clean my place up. The change in my every day life since finding this channel is amazing! Please keep going with these videos, they are truly life savers!

It was something to do and outside to help with grounding as well as exercise. Wow- I didn’t even think that thru until now and it was years ago. Just try to remember that eventually it will not feel this terrible. I still can cry with the least thought but it’s manageable now on meds of course!

Dude, I love your style AND your message. This year, I decided to taper off of all of my psychotropic medications. I’ve been on them for decades and felt like I wanted to try life without them for numerous reasons. I’m getting off the last one now and it’s been a real challenge. Decided to try the carnivore diet because so many people said it helped them sleep better, and i think it has made a BIG difference. I’m not done tapering yet, but I’m hoping for the absolute best each day. PS You crack me up :)

[@eileenchristiansen8470]

Thanks for sharing this video - it's great advice. I use my dining room table similarly to the way you use your garage. I call it the "Island of Deferred Decision Making". If there are stacks of things on the table - from laundry that hasn't been put away to important paperwork I haven't dealt with - I know I'm tangling with too much white noise or anxiety in my brain to move forward. If the table is clear, I'm engaging in a good baseline of self-care and making progress. Today, the only things on my dining room table are a runner and four placemats. Three cheers for you and your clean garage!

I take anxiety and depression meds for 20 years now. I’m 76. I only wish that I was diagnosed earlier and wonder how different my life choices might have been. I was afraid to assert myself, make changes, I lived in the status quo, and just reacted to what needed to be done, but never making any progress in my life. My life is so much better now. I also see a psychologist, I am at peace with myself, happy and creative as an artist. I see others who suffer from the same symptoms that I did, and wish I could help them. Even in this day and age, mental health is a reality not a flaw. Not everyone sees it that way. I will often say to someone, if you had appendicitis, wouldn’t you go to a doctor?, why, when you are suffering psychologically, would you not also get help?….. the fear and stigma still exists. Thank you for this information, hopefully it will help someone. You are an awesome role model, your voice overs are inspiring.

[@RaymondTheThird]

I hear this. As an autistic and adhd person one of the foundations that would have helped me is validation that how I feel is valid and a parent offering a listening ear instead of telling me I wasn’t experiencing what I was experiencing. That includes being constantly burnt out from public school. I needed less social interaction and more time alone, which it sounds like he’s trying to do already. Then the next step is teaching coping mechanisms and working with him through the frustrations and stress that comes with living as a neurodivergent person in a neurotypical world. That is a LOT of work for the parent but it will be so helpful for him later.

Here's my 2 cents re depression and anxiety (I deal with both). Don't be afraid to see a psychiatrist, and don't be afraid of meds. Meds may help you enough to get through the issues you need to face. They don't have to be forever and they're not a cop out.

Thank you for your honesty and openness. My husband and his 3 brothers all struggle with depression in different ways. One smokes pot constantly, one is cold and removed from people, and one is angry and controlling. My husband would go through periods of time where he wouldn’t say a word. I might add that their Dad committed suicide when he was 39. My husband has really worked on his depression and now he takes Sam-E and uses light therapy. It has kept him free from depression for a few years now. We talk about it to anyone who wants to know about his struggles because we want to share what works and what doesn’t for him.

Being recently diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder myself by the VA at the ripe young age of 45, I can relate with the anxiety of dealing with people. I'm not Spectrum, but I do live in 'My own little world' still slowly trying to recognize why my brain goes down the paths it does, and try and find the triggers. Cleaning is my therapy, but it only goes so far with me. I want to do things, but feel like I am being held back from doing them. I get my wanderlust, I feel I want to change my perspectives under my own control. But till I get the go ahead to do so, I am in a bit of a holding pattern, and that's super frustrating. I'll eventually have to go see a specialist, or at least therapy, but for now playing video games with those friends that tolerate me and my mood swings has been my standard schedule.

[@jimnelson9775]

@dragoness_gaming766 regarding the VA: if at first you don’t get a therapist you “click” with, don’t give up! I had one of the best therapists ever through VA, but it took many tries before I found her. The VA is very “outcome focused” in that they will try to “fix” you quickly (the first guy I talked to told me at our first session that I had a finite number of visits, so I needed to figure out what I wanted to get out of therapy!). Good luck!

I was diagnosed with PTSD, anxiety and panic, but also dealt with depression for years. It was a long road, with lots of therapy and medication, but there was an "aha" moment when I had to go to a cardiologist to have my heart tested after getting chest pains during panic attacks. The tech who tested my heart said she used to be like me but hadn't had a panic attack in 10 years. I asked her what made them stop? She said, "I got a divorce." I didn't want to leave my husband but what I learned from that was I needed to make some radical changes - things like selling our house, moving to another town, medical/lifestyle changes, husband got diagnosed/treated for ADHD. I stopped trying to "cure" or get rid of the depression, but instead focused on things that brought joy, safety and stability to my life. It's like being in a deep, dark well, and the only way out is to fill it with things that help me climb out.

I have a tip I discovered recently. Mental health days for me look vastly different depending on whether it's anxiety or depression that has me overwhelmed. Anxiety self care day = a brain dump of to-dos, organized into manageable, timed chunks, and checking as many things off as humanly possible. Maybe with some treats or rewards along the way. Depression self care day = shower, sunshine, exercise, relaxation, a short nap.

I was depressed for 11 years and when I was 29, I finally got it into remission. It's an everyday job to make sure I keep the depression under control. I know what signs I need to watch out for (staying up too late, not sleeping well, isolating myself, etc.) and if I see them, I evaluate what I need to change before the problem gets worse. I lost 11 years to depression and I will fight to stay stable. I also have OCD and the intrusive thoughts were the worst when I was in my early 20s. I ended up navigating my recovery by accident and was unknowingly doing exposure therapy on myself. I still have intrusive thoughts, but I can recognize them as intrusive thoughts before they take over and I spiral into anxiety. My experiences have definitely made me a more compassionate and empathetic person though.

Good morning sir 🌞 Thank you so so much for making this video. So much of this is part of my story. I suffered trauma as a young child that contributed to the “disorders” that I struggled with.

You, and so many other courageous humans by sharing their stories from mental illness to MENTAL HEALTH and what that looks like is awesome. In my mental health journey I am now in the process of becoming a caregiver and I love it. At the age of 61 finally with confidence knowing in my heart that this is my calling to serve others and to help them to feel a little better one day at a time gives me that purpose again. 2019 my father in law passed , 2020 our son at 23 took his own life because of depression, 2022 both my parents passed 6 months apart. I wake up every day thanking God to wake up and keep trying. Thank You Jesus for continually healing me and the Holy Spirit for guidance. Thank you again.

I made lists on sticky notes with all kinds of things to do by the appropriate amt. of required time: While waiting on a cup of coffee: fold load of clothes, or empty dishwasher, or mop kitchen. Waiting on washer: clean bedroom, weed flowers in front, do some food prep or baking and clean up, waiting on dryer: clean my nasty stove top, clean big bathroom..........you get the picture. Soon it was like a game of beat the clock! It was fun! Wow, look what got accomplished and I lost that 100#s! Tip: Every week vow to go thru house and toss out 1 kitchen garbage bag full of stuff you don't need. Soon your basement, garage and whole house will look like a possessed, OCD Mrs. Clean with a slant toward the minimalistic lives there. Get a dog, walk your best buddy a couple miles/hour day. My church family calls me a firecracker, more energy than most half my age. I'm joyful, 1st in line to help anyone, take no medication for anything and am halfway thru my 70s.

A good trick for me to handle depression is to make a list every day to tackle when I get home.
