One thing that smoking weed regularly does that I never hear anyone call out is that it kinda trains you to breath incorrectly through your mouth. Unless you're really mindful, I noticed I started mouth breathing subconsciously. Past few months I've been mindfully nose breathing and doing some pretty intense breathwork exercises (some of these exercises have 2+ min breath holds), and I feel like i've somewhat corrected my lungs lol. Learned a lot of this from Huberman. Appreciate the motivating content dude

I started following you as a self taught programmer, I honestly feel these videos are so important and alot of us are suffering in silence. I'm struggling with addiction as well, in top of being bipolar. Thank you Dorian you are shedding light on darkness.

Love how you put first things first and keep very down to earth mindset! So many self help materials are so detached from daily reality and focus on abstract goals, failing to acknowledge that taking care of one's mental health and higher needs is also a privilege. Thanks for a great video!

Thanks for posting this! It's very helpful and there's a relatable story behind it. How are you able to hold down a job with all these struggles? I've lost 2 jobs from health issues, I've been off work for 5 years, but I saved enough knowing my health wasn't stable. Can you make a video about holding down a job while struggling with mental health?

Keep up the good work, Dorian! The direction this channel is taking is awesome. Definitely your best phase. Too bad youtube doesn't reward you enough

i have been subbed for a long time since i started my self-taught programming journey but I really love that you use your platform for more than helping people chase a career. Like you pointed out, earning money doesn't make the other issues magically vanish, as I have been learning this myself it is really helpful to know that I am not alone and put effort into improving my life just as you do.

thank you so much, i found your video at the right time in my life, struggling at the moment with depression...

[@joefjunior]

For me, Addictions, Gaming, and Exercise can all be forms of avoiding dealing with emotional issues. Exercise is the best version of this, as it'll burn off some of negative emotional energy, but none of these will fix emotional problems. Sometimes avoiding is important b/c you can't deal with some issues in the moment, or sometimes you can't deal with all of it all at once. But at the end of the day, gotta address the problems & stop avoiding them.

Thank you!

[@joryiansmith]

Brilliant insights in this video man 😎

[@LoftwahTheBeatsmiff]

Super relatable and I agree with the finance and health stuff. It makes such a difference. My external environment is a huge factor in everything which sucks because it isn’t really in my control. I’ve been dragged through some pretty crappy legal stuff and it has been going on for over two years. That kind of thing smashes your mental wellbeing.

[@mikebucur8461]

Beautiful video. Make more videos talking about addiction. It's very interesting.

[@adrimathlener8008]

I think it's not about making more money, but enough to have a decent life.

[@DoctorCharlesSophy]

Thanks for sharing these insights! It's wonderful to hear about real, practical ways to improve mental health. I also discuss mental health topics on my channel, so let's keep the conversation going.
