[@horationelson8173]

As a man who used to struggle with depression these are the most helpful things I can think of: -Take Risks, don't let the fear of failure stop you from trying something new or something great -Do things that genuinely scare you or that you're afraid of (Even little things like climbing onto a roof and helping to put up Christmas lights if you're afraid of heights or saying something to the cute cashier girl other than "hi" and "thanks") -Pursue an ambitious goal, one that a lot of people don't believe you can achieve (It doesn't even matter if you fail this because no matter what the pursuit of an ambitious goal will make you a better person and give you fulfillment) With that being said, do your best to succeed -Have a passion, basically this means to find a hobby that you enjoy so much that you will spend hours and hours getting better at it -Study history, pick a role model, and then analyze the traits of your role model and list the reasons why you admire them. Then start to emulate these traits in your everyday life and eventually you will become your own role model. -Don't ever quit something just because it's hard (You can quit a crappy job if it's not the right fit for you, but never quit solely based on the fact that something is difficult). Embrace challenges and look for opportunities to improve yourself mentally, physically, and spiritually. -Never put yourself down. Try not to think negative things about yourself and especially never say them out loud. You will think more highly of yourself when you say positive things about yourself, at the very least avoid putting yourself down on purpose. -Live purposefully. Have a direction for your life and if you don't already have one, make one. Decide what's most important to you and live accordingly. If you have a family or even a single loved one, your first priority (other than serving God if you're religious) should be to provide for them, to protect them, and to help them become the best version of themselves -Develop Integrity. I can't even explain how much this increases your self-repsect. Be honest, be trustworthy, don't cheat (unless you're in a street fight) and live with honor. -Find a hobby that you're really passionate about and strive to become a master at it -Finally, probably the most important thing I can say is to think less about yourself. Think less about yourself but not less of yourself. In other words, think about other people before you think about yourself, especially your family and loved ones. If you're focused on helping them with their problems I can promise you that your problems will become less important and less troublesome. Look for opportunities to help others and make them feel better about themselves. Nothing lifts you out of depression better than helping someone out of theirs. I hope this helps. I realize that some people are genetically predisposed to having a harder time with depression, but I believe that there's nothing you can't overcome with a strong mindset. In addition, I strongly believe that going through depression and having such terrible lows actually gives you the capacity to feel even greater happiness and joy. The reason I say this is because when you feel genuine joy after being depressed for so long you can't help but feel grateful. The beauty of life is that we are meant to experience the full range of human emotions, from happiness to anger to jealousy to despair to joy. We couldn't feel genuine happiness if we never knew what it was like to be sad. If I could talk to whoever is reading this face-to-face, what I would say to you would be simple: don't quit. A quote from Winston Churchill kept me going in times when I thought I had nothing left, he said: "If you're going through Hell, keep going." Everything in life can be and is meant to be an opportunity to make yourself better, and depression is no exception. Keep fighting, all of you are descended from warriors no matter what culture or country you are from. You wouldn't be here today if it weren't for the conquering spirit of your ancestors. Live a life that would make them proud. While most of us will not fight in physical wars, no one is exempt from the battlefield of life. Depression can be a battle every single day, every single second in some cases. Keep fighting, it will only get better. And the more you fight, the more you will gain respect for yourself. I've conquered my depression. Every now and then it will start to try and creep back into my mind but I don't let it. I destroy those feelings with action. I go lift weights, I go running, I listen to metal music, whatever it takes for me to regain my confidence. You can conquer depression, no matter how severe it is. That doesn't mean you'll never have days where you feel down, but it does mean that you'll have the strength to push through and do what you need to do as a man regardless of how you're feeling. Stay strong, stay hard, and fight like dragons 🐉 You're going to be very glad you did.

I agree that the Jesus Prayer is a powerful tool for spiritual warfare and focus. It helps divert the mind from chaotic thoughts and brings peace to the soul. Frequent repetition of this short prayer not only keeps attention on God but also acts as a spiritual shield against intrusive thoughts and temptations. The prayer brings order to a person's inner world, reminding them of God's presence and mercy in every moment of life.

I have went through "what if" scenarios in my mind for over a year now. It has been a mental hell. It is everything you are describing in this video, which came up in my recommended. I play out "what if" catastrophes in my mind, mostly related to job loss, career failure, responsibilities at work, changing jobs, potential physical disabilities, etc. the thought tornadoes spiral and spiral. I also have the imaginary conversations with co-workers, managers, etc. and end up turning those into additional "what if" scenarios. I also do the time warp continuously, never truly living in the present. I am always regretting something from the past, or being anxious about a potential future that hasn't and may never come to pass. My wife has been telling me its the devil. You have confirmed it. Thank you for this video - from a Catholic brother in Christ.

[@TheBanjoShowOfficial]

In the recent past I had an extreme moment of anxiety where I literally felt I was about fall into a panic attack at a restaurant I was with with my girlfriend. I prayed in my head akin to the Jesus prayer and I asked for mercy from him and I had to do it twice but I kid you not I felt the relief pour through me where I didn't feel like I was a pressure cooker about to explode anymore. I struggled afterward but in that moment it truly saved me from a worse outcome I believe.

You may have read this verse but to share with you. [7] “Why then,” they asked, “did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?” [8] Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. [9] I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.” and marries another woman commits adultery.” The remarry is the sin Using this verse.

[@EthanConiker-oq1uy]

Praying for you brother! Don’t stop trusting in Jesus and our Mother. God always comes through in times of struggle. You must be patient and trust in His Faithfulness. Don’t leave your wife. God put you two together. Be faithful and loving even when she isn’t. Remember God plans for the good of those who love Him! If you feel overworked just take time to take your mind off it all and take rest in Jesus. He gives comfort and rest to His sheep. Take rest in His pierced side. “Oh Blood and Water which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a Fount of Mercy for us, I trust in You.” Jesus saves. There is always hope in Him. Keep the eyes of your heart on Him lest you be drowned in the storms of this world. You are His and no one shall ever pluck you from His Hand. I’ll pray the Rosary for you my friend as well as for all your friends who are in prison or taken their own lives. God bless and may Mother Mary surround you with her Mantle of Protection!

[@matthewhamline]

@@shhhhhg I really appreciate your kindness in this invitation but I’ll say I would enjoy a lot about the orthodox liturgy and fellowship but I could not be an orthodox in good faith. I would be lying if I said I didn’t believe praying to saints was a Greek pantheism corruption of the church. I’d be lying if I said I did not believe that when Jesus the Christ ate the last supper He celebrated the Passover and brought it to its perfection. I’d be lying if I didn’t say I believe He clearly intended us to celebrate the Lords supper as a Passover once a year at it’s appointed time to remember his suffering sacrifice for us, and that because he died for us we will be passed over judgment to hell. It’s taught in the book of Roman’s that our conscience will bear witness against us. So even if I am absolutely wrong, for me to deny what I believe so that I can be accepted by the Orthodox Church would be a sin on my part. So as a follower of Christ I ask that you pray for me. If I am wrong, that God would show me the truth. But as it stands I can’t be truly orthodox in good faith.

[@danielbowden5301]

OCD can also be similar. OCD plagues a person with intrusive thoughts and nudges us to engage with the thoughts. In some cases, OCD can even be misdiagnosed as schizophrenia or psychopathy and a number of other problems because an OCD person often excessively identifies with their random thoughts. This includes "voices" in some sense, but it is more of a thought that can feel like it is coming from us and not really an auditory hallucination. Like I have been getting intrusive every few days or sometimes a few times a day of thinking insults toward random people that don't really reflect my true thoughts and feelings toward them. Every person on earth at least occasionally gets random twisted thoughts, even Jesus surely experienced random thoughts of twisted things popping into his head. Many people with diagnosed OCD give more attention to those thoughts than appropriate or our brains can erroneously signal to us that they are important. It would be like having a Gmail account and google erroneously moving random crap from your spam box into your inbox, and marking it as important, while most other people receive the same "spam", but they either delete it without even opening it or they just never consciously see it and it gets automatically deleted. Like Jesus himself might have had a strange random thought at his workplace of hitting someone with a mallet that He was holding or something like that, but He would not have overreacted to the thought, He would have just been like "Psh, that's weird" and moved on without a second glance at the thought. I use Jesus as an example because these sorts of thoughts are not impure in any way, they are innocent random nonsense that just comes with having a human brain. An OCD person, on the other hand, would probably confuse their random violent thought with an impulse, worry that they are some kind of psychopath or a danger to others, and engage in response rituals like some kind of repetitive behavior, or trying to logically refute the thought to reassure ourselves, or even praying in an unhealthy way[turning prayer into an OCD response or validating the thought by praying for forgiveness for the thought]. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aX28iGevoN95l9U

[@jonny-dp2qr]

Gonna sound stupid but stop identifying with your OCD. It’s literally just you identifying with your thoughts. That’s where all these mental health diagnoses come from. Depressed ppl just identify with the bad thoughts they have about themselves. Anxious people identify with anxious thoughts. You tell yourself you have OCD and that they’ll never stop, of course they’ll never stop if you tell yourself this. Whenever the thoughts start going just accept them. Say “okay, I’m the same person regardless if I would do this or not. I’m with god, that’s all I need” Believe in yourself and follow God, don’t attach any part of yourself to any mental diagnosis, just look at it as a phase your brain is going thru to figure out the things you fear most, and why you fear it. Look at it as a test from God, because it is. Accept the fact that any human is capable of any evil, no matter how much we all would deny it

Then the thoughts of past things of which I feel guilt (and repented of) or fear of future things cause me to ruminate even more, and it's helped to remember that it's demonic influence/the accuser and can be resisted. Those are the times when I repeat the Jesus Prayer. It has helped me so much. Christ is our only hope and refuge.

[@RickyPyle-i7z]

What the hell is the Jesus prayer???!!!! I need it immediately

[@KatAdVictoriam]

@RickyPyle-i7z Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.

[@RickyPyle-i7z]

@@KatAdVictoriam that's it?

[@KatAdVictoriam]

@RickyPyle-i7z That's it! There is another variation, also: "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner." There are a good number of KZbin videos on the Saints and Church fathers speaking/writing about this prayer and I would definitely look into it more if you're curious. It is simple, but powerful.

[@RickyPyle-i7z]

@@KatAdVictoriam thanks, I'll use this now

This is what I needed as a LCpl in the Marines. Really helping me as I am at BAC surrounded by unholiness. Pray for me as start static line jumps next week.

[@HeyYoSurveyTime]

Thank you for the insight that I obtained from you Father Moses, God Bless us all

[@jayfox4438]

This video was awsome. As a Christian with OCD that’s been really weighing me down lately, I needed to hear this. Thank you

[@bernardodiaz9428]

Thank you so much, Father Moses, for this insight. It´s like you read my mind while explaining how the enemy attacks me. May God bless you!

[@leeriterii2128]

Thank You Father Moses. God bless.

God bless you father.

Oh brother I needed this. Glory to Jesus

[@stevenone968]

I know you've been through stuff, to get to all of this. I can confirm this man is 100% correct. Highly appreciate this video! Bless you.

[@haydeen6535]

Father Moses I just want to say that your utilitarian method to spiritual struggles really helps me alot. I have an engineer's brain, so the way that you present these spiritual struggles, and their solutions, instantly hits me like a truck. I have found that other methods from great Orthodox men online, like Fr. Spyridon, do not really hit me the same. I can watch a 10 minute video of Fr. Spyridon talking about prayer, and take nothing away from it. But something about the way in which you present these ideas helps me so much.

[@Youtubecensoredmyusername]

Me too, the truth cookie analogy and getting “sick” from it somehow clicked with me

[@someonesomewhere8888]

Exactly, analytical and on point.

[@WrestlingWithGod77]

Thank you for your wisdom and guidance. The imaginary conversations have never led to positive things. I always feel dragged down if I feed into it.

[@60hzminimum]

This is helping me right now. I just went through a breakup, I know what god is telling me, he's given me a path, he's shown me the future, but these demons that are giving me doubt, trying to overwhelm me with stuff that I see online, or consuming my thoughts. I'm going to save this so I can refer to it in times like right now. Thank you for your good work, God bless you

[@Jaystar49]

The devil can not handcuff us, we do that ourselves through free will, powerful 🙌🙌🙌

[@williamohman]

You have no idea how much this helps, almost as if god new my suffering an guided me to your channel in a strange way. Amen

[@jacobstevens9957]

Hello Father, just wanted to say as a Roman Catholic I find your videos to be extremely helpful and I feel as if they speak more directly to our struggles as Christian’s in spiritual warfare than I hear from most Catholics I have experience with in person and online. I know that is subjective but when it comes to spirituality I feel more clarity on the Orthodox side even if I have some doctrinal hang ups. Anyways thank you Father for these videos !

[@seundartist]

Thank you 🙏🏾 I needed this. May the Lord continue to bless your ministry In Jesus Name Amen 🙏🏾

[@joelismart]

All glory to the father son and Holy Spirit

[@MrDaftJustice]

As a Catholic, I really enjoy the way you explain and have spiritually made me closer to God. So happy that we do share the same fundaments

[@Mavvyd96]

I thoroughly enjoy all of these videos. Such great advice as usual, father. Spiritual warfare is so real and I was completely blind to it until last year.

[@mariocarvalho1392]

This is the video that I needed right now... thank you so much God bless 🙏

[@johnmatrix7809]

This is excellent. Thank you, Father! God bless you

[@ConsciousHercules]

You seem like a soul with a good heart and good intentions. I respect you for that, Sir, and I wish you all the best, and send a lot of love your way, eventhough I am not religious. ❤

[@ConsciousHercules]

Thank you very much for the heart Sir, I felt bad and it made me feel better. I hope you live in inner peace and joy and have a lot of good things coming your way. ❤️

[@SenseiGuss]

Thank you father Moses

[@PierreJJ.]

Thank you, Father. Your videos, one after another, are so precise and profound in addressing our struggles today. I bookmark and save most of your videos; this is one I have to keep rewatching probably on a weekly basis the rest of the year

[@whatbrooooooo]
