Two years ago, my mom died and my dad was diagnosed with dementia shortly after. I became my dad's caretaker while trying to grieve two loses. I could barely get out of bed most days. Some days, the only thing that got me to get up was that I needed to take care of my dad and my pets. Then I started writing again, and it led me to my life now - engaged and building my own business! Still feel lost sometimes, but I think about those days now, and it reminds me of what one little step can do.

[@nao1163]

I needed this....currently hitting rock bottom and trying to get back up. thank you.

[@Jacqueline-Luo]

I know it's 10 months ago but good luck!! You will fulfil your dreams

[@Mada_94_]

[@anonymousN-u9p]

I've struggled badly with anxiety , and depression. last year I got divorced. And I been in therapy for a year, and I just started rebuilding my life. I went back to school and graduated. I'm starting to feel 80% happier than I was last year. I have the right people and pieces around me. I'm ready for the future!

[@monamoore5471]

Man 2015 and 2016 was the worst for most of people in the world

[@monamoore5471]

I want to mental health rehab for a year to get through it

[@Kopie0830]

Mona - I hope life treats you better. I wish you hapiness and peace in life. Bless you.

[@wartygourd]

GOOD FOR YOU!!! Y E S! FOCUS ON THE GOOD STUFF TO COME

[@hazelchief-rabbit5903]

@@monamoore5471 I thought the same too until last year and this year... I'm still out of work... I mean businesses are slowly picking up but I feel like there's far too many job seekers than there are jobs out there and who knows maybe when Victoria (Australia) is gonna have a fourth lockdown... I hope and pray there won't be another pandemic... I'm so over it.

[@thegamerrockz]

i am at the same phase in my life...but i am not dead, i can still make life happen

[@MissBerlinerin]

Back in 2010, I had a huge melt down and felt depressed for months. During spring 2011, I stumbled across your videos and read your book. Marie, you literally saved my life ! Thank you so much :-)

[@SoUnique99]

I feel lost and shattered right now. I got accepted into my dream college overseas and unfortunately my study permit got rejected meaning I cannot go there anymore. Now I have to rewire everything and find a new place to go. This is too much for an 18 year old but I will push through.

[@ami7mina]

You can do it! :)

[@SoUnique99]

Andreia Guerrero yes! I can :D Thank you

[@micaylavranic5444]

Oh man that's so tough Ola :(. I just turned 19, and man, there is so much to figure out! I hope you have found a way to be happy in your new situation :)

[@SoUnique99]

David Bunch ahahahhahaha

[@Kay-pr3gr]

how are you doing now?

[@laurarae5683]

So true. LIVE IN THE MOMENT! The past is over and can not be changed. Surround yourself with people who believe in you and challenge you to be the best you can be.

[@fluffffyheart]

Experience the pain without the mental drama.

[@Sugarheartbeat]

So hope you are in a better place now Miss Castillo! Pain is still pain, without the drama, it still sucks! ♥

[@joshuataylor6087]

I feel better reading the comments. It seems like a lot of people feel lost after a break-up and get overwhelmed which turns to paralysis.

[@MejJalTok]

"Pain is Inevitable and suffering is optional" Every since I stopped crying back and forward about how life pushes me down after every obstacle I surpassed, I always thought to myself that even though I'll always struggle, I rather struggle for the best reasons. And one of those reason was that it was way better to struggle getting something I dreamed about than struggling to pay bills. I believe this is one of the biggest reasons I can turn negativity into positive fuel and motivation. Thanks.

[@divolifevlog]

I personally thought "Feeling Lost" was a great video segment! I love all the videos I have watch thus far, but the manner in which you delivered this video was exquisitely truthful and comical. I just subscribed about 30 mins ago and I have already watched 10 full episodes. Thanks for coaching the world via KZbin for free! :)

[@RIZKYYx]

I'm feeling down and depressed, because I had something very important today and it didn't go well. So thank you so much for these wonderful tips :)

[@charmin78]

I felt lost when I returned from my Peace Corps service, dealing with speaking English full-time again and reverse culture shock. After two years of having limited food options, the cereal aisle had so many choices. The micro-decisions were overwhelming. Back on Track: Took baby steps going to the grocery store. I gave myself little challenges each shopping visit (time limit or limited things to buy). My tolerance grew for mentally processing so many options.

[@signiturelady]

Meditation and keeping a journal always has helped me to get back on track. With these things, you are able to sort thru your emotions and get unstuck.

[@shivanandrai9925]

she is really a great stress buster and speaker for all events and subjects when u feeling low or very high

[@gabbyexofan8209]

This really found me the Right time 😢. When I am totally heartbroken, feeling lost and lost hope In any faith. So Thanks Marie for this video, You saved me once again

[@nida1990]

I can't believe how long you have been around and I have only just discovered you! Most of your videos talk so deeply to me

[@melonieb4255]

Hope you're feeling better soon. I love the four tips to recovering from the suffering. We all need a reminder once in a while that the pain is different than dealing with the suffering. Just recognizing the differences can make a big change in what we do next. It gives me hope, the hope that life will be better when I get past it. Check... I'm back! Thanks for all your inspiring videos.

[@ErikDillard]

GIRRRRRRRRRRRRRL! I went through something just TODAY and put this video off for two hours not knowing that when I returned to that it would answer ALL of the questions I experienced less than two hours ago. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH, MARIA! This was a right on time message!

[@creativityjenna]

Make is ness your business works like a charm 👍. Finally getting a bit of what this means after years of watching Marie.

[@sowti2000]

feeling directly the emotion in the body without paying attention to the story in the head is a great advice

[@watchgeek1]

These things can be very hard and almost impossible on a very bad depressive day. I guess if your not dealing with depression these are great hints. I'm planning on trying to take better care of myself, I feel I need to do this to truly move on instead of shutting myself off from the world and hoping it will pass. You almost have to look your troubles in the eye instead of avoiding them. What I can say about the bad days is do what you need to do and do what you can. Try to think optimistically, think of what you have and not what you don't.

[@liliparedesp]

Really true, that moments happen to all of us, but that moments makes us stronger! The key point is to “stand up and continue” ☺️✨

[@ZorroDeChicago]

I got back on track by visualizing a future that is totally different then the past. Visualizing how I want to do things and then pray about and do those things.

[@ginamstenback]

Love that sweater! Even if you're not at a point where things are falling apart, this episode has awesome reminders for your everyday living. I particularly liked the concept of "making is-ness your business". Thanks Marie!

[@daveskerritt185]

I like Marie. She talks about reality. Feeling the pain whatever it is in the moment, and working through it in the moment. Thanks Marie. :)

[@jomsbernardo3027]

its a blessing that i came to this video, i feel so lost for some time now. I just got qualified for my dream job on another country. it is my dream job, and it was a rare chance , it took some time for them to notice my application. like 6 mos or so, and to cut the story short i got qualified every screening went so well. the sad part was i cant get an appropriate visa for me at the moment to push through it. and so here i am feeling lost. i hope i live bg the thoughts of your video. and just appreciate the life in the moment.

[@Thekatieab]

How the heck did you cover that depth of topic in 8 1/2 min such comprehensively?!?!?! That's talent.

[@yvonneperrott2458]

What an awesome person you are in the world Marie! Thank you for bringing light, joy and hope! Namaste!

[@buddhaful11]

Really great advice, Marie! Overwhelmed and in a similar situation...indeed I have learned that taking action is key, instead of thinking too much about it. If I dwell on it too much, I become paralyzed with fears.

[@SacredSocialStudio]

WOW Marie, I think this is one of your MOST powerful videos that you have ever posted! Thank you so much for this! I loved it and I think this is excellent. All of the tips you suggested and your statements were just....gold. The entire video was a great tweetable! :)

[@MsBkene]

This episode is exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you so much, Marie, for these awesome contents on MarieTV

[@td4269]

I just broke up with someone today I feel so lucky I saw this video right on time! Thank you Marie!

[@AmericPet]

That set was excellent for this question.

[@barshabaram6275]

You are a savior Marie 😍😍😍❤️😇❤️❤️

[@TeamForleo]

We're so grateful you're here. Thank you for watching 😊💖

[@robertgirard4862]

Go-Go Marie ! ... Accurate & Beautiful Marie Marie !

[@29wsani]

All the best Vanessa! God helps those you help themselves.

[@saymasultana339]

Marie you are amazing. I wish you all the success in life.

[@SaraRahimi]

You're so cute Marie. Yes, a bunch of stuff happened a few years ago and I was devastated! I got help by going to some awesome self-improvement classes and as you said pushed myself to do things that made me energetic and happy. One step at a time with positive people around you would be a great solution.

[@donnabehrman2121]

I love me some Marie! I am absolutely certain that's exactly what she needed!

[@eli9994L]

So smooth and fluent

[@paradisecolors]

You are really amazing, and always inspire me. I love how empowering your approach is. Thank you so much. I am myself in the process of gathering my life together, after a difficult time of not finding a job. I am still unemployed, but more optimistic, as I have decided to focus on my capabilities and take steps toward my career goals instead of identifying with unemployment.

[@jamesmaxwellmagat2150]

Thank you Marie, this video boosted me up today. I'm able to face the truth without being beaten down further.

[@71phifer]

Cute outfit. Love hearts. Just got laidoff. I am a little scared but So Excited. I fell out of love with my job. I'm looking 4ward 2 a new beginning. I believe this transition will lead to mental physical and financial affluence.

[@aleshiagreen936]

Thanks for this video and many others I just spent some time watching...I really have reached a time in my life I never saw coming..being someone who is always quoted as "Very strong"....I am no longer this quoted person...I have become what Im not and I no longer know myself...LOST...and confused about everything and unmotivated in everything..I have 4 kids and I cant even find focus through them...not like me..Im gonna keep watching and listening hoping I can find a breakthrough..

[@31m4x]

I have read a lot of self help books and this video pretty much sums it. As always great content, thumbs up.

[@BrokeButBougie]

Great video. I like to think that suffering has meaning though. Yes, I might be in pain but there is someone who has it worse than I do. It helps to offer that suffering for somebody else. It gets me thinking outside myself and before I know it I'm not thinking about how bad my life might be at that moment.

[@emstratman]

I know all of this is good and right, but I'm SUCH a forward thinking person that only focusing on right now makes me want to have a freak out lol. Yet the future is also giving me a heart attack! What a horrible cycle to be in.

[@1pinchoforegano]

This is a great video!!! I can see how you can apply this to many different mental states like anxiety & depression. Thanks Marie!!!

[@ranger882]

You are incredible woman...I like your attitude and your aptitude. Smart and beautiful...keep growing and growing people...One Day At A Time ;)

[@insideeyourbrain]

This is so relatable that I cried. Thank really really much for this. Genuinely thank you

[@smitty4shizzles925]

I love your Buddha outlook on life!! Living in the present and how the past and future are constructs of the mind :) These ideas are timeless and so important. I totally understand the meaning behind them, but sometimes I find myself forgetting them. I guess we weren't brought up to live that type of lifestyle. Does anyone feel the same way?

[@هلاالعبدالكريم]

I have negative people around me every day so when they effect my day and lost my self i figure out weakness things about me so sometimes i glad they around me even that's hurt but it makes me to work on my self to find the weakness and make it the best gift ever it sounds crazy but work with me .

[@bellazinaa21]

Great video, watching this really helped me a lot! Thumbs up

[@HaissamElDeguise]

Thanks for this video.... taking care to myself and do what i like to do is very helpful when i feel in loss...

[@JaysonRivest]

Wish I could give this 20 thumbs up!!! Awesome advice. Sharing on my FB fan page

[@DagmarGatellseoexpert]

Excellent video! Thank you, Marie! Nothing has meaning besides the meaning that you give it. Thank you for your quote of the day :-)

[@sister478]

Thank you soooooo much for making all these amazing videos (especially this one), Marie! I'm feeling rather lost at the moment and so I'm greatful for the advice you give ;)

[@pablogonzalez3951]

Thank you!! lol I love your videos I have been down and I have been up and all in between, I have been lost believing my thoughts as if they were real I have to keep reminding myself that I am ok and the concept of the future is terrifying to me

[@michellek50]

I am 45 years old and feel behind right now. I following your advice and watch the video several times but I still have the fear, panic, and overwhelm. Do you have a video for this fear panic and overwhelm? To create confidence... Thank you

[@psahd92]

I hope you feel much better now

[@alekpresident5459]

Great work Marie, truly an inspiring public figure. You've helped me and many others change their perspective in a positive way.

[@aishaahmed3274]

At a point like this what I did was clean my room... closet shelves... and then myself... it made life liveable again...and sometimes turning to literatures help or reading biographies...imagining myself as a character going through worse and as a writer how would I help this character pull through bit by bit.

You sound just like my therapist. Good stuff Marie.

[@gracielaramos5522]

This is another great episode! We are in Mercury Retrograde and a many of my clients are in something which relates to what you have done here. I hope you don't mind my posting your video on my site. I tell people about you all the time and often put you on my Facebook! Thank you for being an inspiration!

[@evelic]

Second tip is really true. Really interesting how that works.

[@daveh6941]

I liked this video Marie. But when you are 63 and you feel like you have not accomplished anything.You look back and you are thinking wow, what have I done. I had so many dreams and goal, my life I just through it away.

[@buddhaful11]

Dave H "It's never too late! That's what they invented death for!!" A quote from The Princess Bride film. Don't let anyone or anything, including the "system" we live to dictate your timing. Google and read about famous people who achieved things late in life. You're still here. Choose one of your dreams and go for it!!

[@camez2345]

buddhaful11 That was such a nice reply :)

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

Get well soon. I like your make shift set. =) WOW. This episode was extra Good for me. Thank you.

Hi Marie, This is one of my all time favorite videos from you!!! Thanks & Cheers!!! GGG

[@Vladimir999ify]

The phrase or citation of Mark Twain is: The secret of getting ahead is getting started. But sometimes we don't know what task we'll begin to do first then we need to do every our task (tasks that we pick up for it) for only five minutes and then we'll feel what task is right for us at this moment then DO IT GET MOMENTUM and DO THE NEXT TASK and etc.

[@JeffBassman]

just what i needed today ~ thanks marie!

[@anngelgames]

This was so relevant! Thank you for this Marie! Feel better soon

[@greygoose125]

Thank you for the video, it motivated me to go workout instead of falling asleep on the couch. :)

[@shilpagupta2557]

Love this video! God bless you!

[@oceanbreeze1873]

Thank you for asking about this and Marie, thank you for your advice. You put into words what I've been feeling. Regret about my past and anxiety about my future. I've been reading the power of now so this really struck a cord. I'm also thinking about having a family and it feels like how can I think if taking care of a baby if I don't have a job etc. So thank you for sharing your wisdom.

[@jamesorourke3435]

Marie I loved the video and I love you even more! I needed to see this today!

[@mr.e1220]

I worked hard and lived in an awesome city and left the rat race. I successfully built up a real estate portfolio. I lived off the 2 rentals and lived in a third. All by the lake in Chicago. I loved life. Travelling and became a professional photographer. Then in 2015 I went into an investment out of state and lost so much that it forced me to sell my rental to break even. But i did not recover and depression took me down. Now by 2018 i lost everything and feel dead inside. Had to move back to Ohio after being a success in Chicago. I miss my old life. So depressed. My lifestyle may have been too important and maybe God saw it as an idol in my life. Hard to be poor after success.
