Crush Depression and Anxiety with Marginal Gains Strategy

I know everybody wants something that works quickly and changes things dramatically. Maybe you’ve tried some of those ideas, and if you have what you’ve probably found is that they work really well for some fairly brief period of time before fizzling out completely. If you're sick of getting your hopes up for strategies or treatments that don’t work in the long run, this episode is for you.
The strategy I’m going to teach you today isn’t fast, it isn’t magic, and it isn’t terribly exciting. But if you execute this strategy correctly, it can turn you into a relentless depression-crushing machine. It can give you a tank to ride into the greatest battle of your life, slowly but consistently crushing your mental health symptoms under your tireless treads.
It’s called “marginal gains” and it’s a proven process in sports and business. It’s based on the work of cycling coach Dave Brailsford and the Kaizen Six-Sigma philosophy of management. I can tell you from personal experience that it also works in mental health. I hope you enjoy!

We need more social support for these processes. Like a community center for emotional health that’s available 24/7 to go to when someone is struggling in the moment or just daily/weekly help and support not just from professionals but also peers. It’s so hard to do this alone and would be so much better to have a supportive local community. I don’t mean in or out patient care, but a way to get connected to other people working on the same types of changes - in person. A dedicated space for peer support groups, meeting rooms for therapy appointments, fitness/yoga, meditation, garden/nature, nutrition classes, cafe for social connection - truly a place for community to come together to learn about emotional health and support each other.

[@divinereference]

That literally sounds like PARADISE!!! I wonder what it would take to fund something like that. It’s just brilliant. I’ve been thinking of beginning my own type of helping group maybe on zoom even. I don’t have a single friend in person where I live & I’ve been here 24 years! It’s hard for me to make friends & I have done it twice here, one moved to Europe many years ago & the 2nd one died during Covid lockdown in 2020. It’s so damn hard to make friends at 57 years old especially for me, especially when you don’t have regular work or school to meet coworkers or classmates & especially when you’re already a pretty severe introvert with terrible depression & PTSD! But I can’t continue doing this alone. I just need help outside of therapy.

[@Lisa-eo9gd]

That sounds terrific! Maybe you could get together with local retired business people who have the expertise and time to put together such a program. Groups like the Rotary Club used to support things like that. United Way...I hope you are able to get something going where you live!

I don't want to fight any battles against people anymore. I'd rather walk away to keep my peace.

[@PhilGregoryFX]

I understand where your coming from. Personally I have lost so much weight and am so weak, that as a 52yr old male, who can now hardly walk, with reoccuring heart problems, my ability to fight even the smallest battle against another person is now completely gone. I would walk away if I can, but tbh it now makes me just want to ball-my-eyes out, and unfortunetly I have regressed into being a vulnerable child. So wish I could figure all this stuff out and join the dots and recover, but feel I am just way too weak now to tackle even the smallest drama.

[@sammm51773]

I love your analogies. This cycling story really hit home. I have a tendency to go big or stay home. That along with my perfectionist tendencies keeps me immobile , defeated, and overwhelmed. I am now trying to make improvements, no matter how small, to move me towards my goals. Thank you so much!

[@Helene_experience]

Valuable advices ! Problem with sleep is that you can’t fix it before fixing other areas that won’t bring anxiety or stress related to sleep. Doing a little better everyday is, to me, the best option. The 15 minutes blocks is a very good advice that I’m applying right away. Thank you

[@saintejeannedarc9460]

Had sleep issues all my life, but they've swtiched since hot flashes. I wake up around the same time every morning, but when I fall asleep and staying asleep are the problems. Usually wake up 4 times, but sometimes more and will stay awake for hours. Nothing I've tried will make me stay asleep either. It can make me groggy in the morning, which I always am, but nothing can keep me asleep.

[@feleciawagener6181]

This really works! I changed jobs a few years ago and immediately started feeling a lot of stress. Thougnt it was just new job anxiety but three years in i realized i am feeling depressed. Sat down and did a before and after job change comparison to figure out why new job was so stressful. Not just job duties but anything that was different. I discovered it was small things -well they seem small- that were different. Lunch a convience snack at desk while still working instead of a real break with hralthy food Driving in heavy traffic versus taking the train- i cant read or nap or daydream while driving No evening walk And most of all i stopped journaling- sometnig i typically did during lunch. All together these activites added up to a few hours of time that were for me- and not having those little bits really impacted my mood. Been making it a priorty to reincorporate what i can and try to find other ways to be kind to myself.

Just had a major heart operation with stents placed everywhere where a stent could be place. I told the doctors on the operating table that my heart problems are nothing compared to my untreated mental health which have been severe for many years. Watching these videos is part of my 'training strategy' to try and help myself as mental health services are practically non-existant in my location. Saving up to see a professional psychologist. So tired of spending my life wasting away by being largely bedridden.

[@avivashore3769]

Thanks for what you are doing. I’ve struggled with my mental health for three years. Not been to the docs as I don’t think they can help. I don’t want pills. I’m lonely at 71, no friends, no purpose, can’t sleep for more than 3 hours and suicidal. I did try and win my battle for three months. Using a new VR (Oculus2) head set I joined meditation groups, played games with other people (avatars) and joined a self help development circle with a group of lovely people. All in VR. But I always felt different, didn’t fit it, useless at games and letting whatever team I was in down. Two weeks ago I gave up. Deleted all the people I had met, deleted the VR apps I was using and I’m back to square one. I just want to sleep - forever.

Virtual reality communication is not the same as real, face-to-face communication with people. I am in my 60s, and I am convinced that media, gaming, phones, pretend relationships through the computer on the phone, may be at the bottom of all of the problems that we are seeing now. Electronic stimulation does nothing but mess you up. Even I at my old age am experiencing problems with this- when I’m very tired at night, I tend to default to scrolling on my phone. I am going to go back to watching TV instead-healthy, calm shows. Then maybe crafting, or seeing friends .Things like I used to back in the day, when I was happy 🙁

This may be my favorite video of yours I have watched so far. I am 55 and have dealt with depression and anxiety since childhood. I have gained much insight into my ups and downs and my own way to look at what has gone off the rails when I am in a down point. I am going to up my skills and try this!

[@kathyglass2922]

Holy mackerel! We all have traits of our parents, good and bad. And we all have traits of our favorite thrapists. Whoever gave you skills to use your tone of voice, your cadence and pacing, the strategy for giving motivational speeches to educate others about mental health knowledge, they did an amazing job. Your father must have been amazing, because your father, who knew you were depressed, took you snorkeling. That was a dad who was trying hard. He never gave up. He kept trying. His efforts were utterly life altering. Because you are life altering. For me, you are. Thank you so much. I'm sure your father did other things. I can't speak about other people in your life, because I haven't heard any stories.

I was able to lose 150 pounds with a similar strategy. A BIG part of that effort is continuing the work on the 500 pound gorilla in my head. When I started down the path, my state of panic was peaked with no way forward. I have been able to achieve the correct weight, fix the diabetes, break my food addiction issues, and now feel more able to continue on the brain. If I can do it - anyone can. Start with small steps and soon you will find a trail of old shoes, a worn out treadmill and a lot of shitty baggage in your wake.

[@Cubelixa]

[@Blueseachelles]

Thank you for this, I really enjoyed the video. I recently discovered you and am hooked. There are so many mental health videos out there that is hard to find someone you connect with or that seems to have a meaningful way of connecting to their audience. I now feel like I have found this in you. Your videos are extremely well presented and compiled with a good balance of theory and practical examples are not full of waffle or psycho babble. The length of them is good too, so they are easily digestible. When I listen to you your videos, your messages, advice and confident delivery just sounds like the ringing of clear cut crystal. Strange analogy maybe but that’s what I sense. I have struggled with mental health issues all my life and recently took 2 weeks off work to just focus on my MH, unfortunately I have been sick for 3 quarters of it and unable to properly engage with some of the things I’d planned. However during this period you entered my life and I have been watching one of you videos each day. I have also started implementing some of your practical examples to help motivate me and despite not having the time I’d planned to put this into place? I am starting to feel and see the shoots of progress and achievement. Of course it is early days but at this point in time I feel genuinely hopeful and happily tearful that this might actually work and dramatic as it may be to say, and as unbelievable as it might be to believe but I think I may have just stumbled on a MIRACLE!!! All I can say is you were born to do this, I wish you every success and thank you from the bottom of my heart ♥️. Oh and I knew you’d get two 5’s even before you’d finished your story, I just felt it😂. Just to finish, it would be helpful to hear you speak about perfectionism, OCD tendencies leading to perfectionism and how to positively reframe your thoughts around this. Also, something on complacency, perseverance, fighting the neural urges to slip back into old habits. Dr Eilers you rock!!! ❤

We have to understand depression as a part of ourselves that is actually trying to help us...think about it as a messed up kind of protector...it keeps you from trying and therefore failing...rather than considering it an enemy to beat think of it as a friend that doesn't really know how to be there in a constructive way...yes be proactive but we need to develop a dialogue to settle it down...if you treat it as an adversary...guess what...it gets bigger and stronger in order to continue its protection duties...bring kindness, compassion (as your misguided protector can use unhelpful bullying as a tactic to motivate) and understanding and gentle encouragement and structured interventions...anyone suffering out there I feel you ❤

[@adrienpoirier7709]

The issue is that it's impossible to tell someone to appreciate their anxiety or depression. You can't tell someone that their panic attacks are there to try and protect them. Even if that's the case, still, no one knows for sure. The physical symptoms associated with anxiety are so intense. This creates guilt because the person suffering from anxiety feels they don't have the right mindset towards their anxiety. "I should show compassion towards what is causing me suffering, but I can't manage it, it's my fault if I can't get out of these mental health issues." This further aggravates the anxiety and symptoms. Either you accept being negative and hating yourself, or you lie to yourself. Actions matter more in my opinion. What you do for your mental health, not what you think. Because you can't control your brain. Otherwise, there would never be any mental health problems in the world. I've always considered reducing my symptoms as a fight against myself and what my thoughts tell me, by doing what's good for me in the long term. Compassion or not, it's no longer about changing one's mindset. When you experience chronic anxiety, you are a slave to what your head tells you. It's about making the right choices and doing the right things for yourself, little by little, in those moments when anxiety is there. Which is very difficult. But that's what drives progress in the long term.

[@sciencelabvideosl7558]

Hello Scott! More of these homework assignments please!

[@Pharagill]

While you were giving the fighter analogy, I was thinking I wouldn't want to face that opponent, that it wouldn't be worth training like crazy because they would surely beat me anyway. 😔 Your program sounds interesting, but I don't think recovery can simply be boiled down to a percentage. Like I sleep regularly and go to work - those two things alone would result in a strong number. But I struggle heavily with shutting down the rest of my waking time. It's not the majority of my average day but it's still a crucial missing piece that is the only time for self care, maintaining things at home, etc. Not all time frames are necessarily equal. That being said, I see your point about focusing on improving the little things to make progress. The story about the cycling team is really good.

[@AzaleaGrace327]

Try fighting anxiety and depression with a disability and constant ignorance and discrimination from society. I’d say it is at least five times harder, especially when one is “living” on social assistance and no other income. I have been in a period of stagnation for a very long time because I’m just exhausted and I know what I will be facing if I ever do become brave enough to try and find employment or seek out human relationships again. It is extremely difficult to keep validating yourself when the world around you invalidates you every day. The fact that I have to jump through hoops just to make things accessible enough in order for me to function is discouragement epitomized.

[@rhonmc2782]

Sounds good but the scientist in me is having a hard time picturing how this would work. Correct me if I'm wrong please. 1. We teack 24 hrs in 15 min increments. 2. We look at 1 15 min we could do differently to aud mental health. 3. We keep doing that chosen change every ?day. 4. We add another 15 min change (how long after the first)? and keep going. Now here is where it doesn't quite gel with me. 1. A lot will depend on which day you choose eg if you have lived on frozen delivered meals because no energy to cook or too anxious to shop or both. Now.as.a.fluke, on our track day we happen to shop.and.cook.dinner. This.meams what potentially was a major hinderance to mental health won't even be looked.at for quite some.time to.change. Not everyone.has lives with routine in them so there.will lots of variables. 2. We only need to add 4 or 5 hours of change to get up to 50% healing mental health. Now look at cooking a meal. It can take several hours depending on what you're cooking so in reality 8 to 12 x 15 min blocks are used for 1 thing. THEN add self-care that you are not doing eg showering and other things- that can be another hour. Having a cleaner decluttered environment aids mental health so finally 3 days dishes get washed and some basic cleaning is done which is usually avoided. Already we have more than 5 hrs asded to our sleep and in reality we're only doing what a normal person does ie the nitty gritty of what we've learnt in therapy, exercise, socialisation, accumulating activities that give you joy etc etc etc not enough 15 min blocks left to add them all. In fact, instead of doing some of the 15 min blocks you started with, better use of time could have been spent on higher priority things. eg we have a 15 min block to change (even several) when actually spending an hour on the beach watching the waves would have been more beneficial that cleaning for an hour. You can't then keep repeating that time in nature at the beach each day or even just often. To be more helpful, a follow up 1 hr or more video going through the process ising a fictional day. Podcast is ok but i think something visual woild be better. The 2 groups that did that would have had many hours of debriefing and discussion. This video although a good concept doesn't give us bottom dwellers enough to go on, remembering that we are also probably having fogged brains a lot of the time too. Trying to formulate and carry out a project like this with no support will be beyond many as even trying to stay out of bed can be overwhelming. Good concept but we who a watching are often pretty desperate and as you say tried everything ie we are TIRED and need more spoon feeding / support for so big an undertaking??

Change 5 hours of your day lol. That's a lot. Of course something good might happen if u fill 3 or 5 hours with positive activities. Btw who has this time left or is willing to do this daily? For depressed and anxious people will 1 or 2 new daily little activities with maybe 30 min time be a lot or too much to keep it up daily for weeks or months. Every change isnt easy for the psyche cause it wants all to stay the same as it is and how it's usual for the person.

Watch "Transcend Yourself" by Jordan Peterson for a really good explanation and encouragement to engage in incremental change. Also, look into Dialectical Behaviour Therapy by Marsha Linehan and the daily DBT Diary Card self-reporting system.
