He gets a bad rep for being "right wing", but if you pay attention to what he's saying and not what people are saying about him you realize he's not political. Not in the sense of Left or Right wing politics. If anything he's a realist and a logical thinker. I guess common sense may seem conservative. I consider myself liberal minded and I really like his views on life.

That's partly true but if it's any consolation.. I've noticed, We couldn't have done more or different Whether its the laws that govern our reality didn't permit us to do the things we want or say we could have done. Other times, free will gives us the option to make different decisions but ends up with the result of having to choose between the lesser of two/3 evils. In other words, you're damned if you do, damned if you do and damned if you don't. Accepting the things we could Not change or Did Not handle different is the best course of action.

Also started small. My goal was to go to the gym. Didn’t matter if I broke a sweat or not. Just went, did what I could for that day whether it be one pushup or a full workout and went home. My point is, I made myself commit to things that were so small, they were laughably achievable. And it all snowballed. I wish the best for you too.

[@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.

After learning about the scale you'd be put in a team to assess one day program and one residential program. One day you'd visit the place, and two days you'd discuss your observations with the team and rate the agency. Trainees would go back to their hotel crying at the end of a day. People were becoming aware of horrible things their well-meaning agencies were doing and instead of staying at their jobs to create change from the inside they were quitting. The training organization eventually started making participants sign a pledge that they'd not quit their jobs for at least thirty days after completing the training.

2021 was the hardest, darkest time of my life. I was physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually BROKEN. But now I feel genuinely GRATEFUL and BLESSED that I had to go through that phase because GOD has graciously REVEALED Himself to me in miraculous ways. I am fortunate that He allowed me to know Him at a very young age, but this year is so much SPECIAL because of what WE (yes, GOD and me) have been through last year. He showed me how POWERFUL prayers truly are when I started to focus on WHO HE IS rather than who I am, on WHAT HE CAN DO rather than what I deserve. The experience was MAGICAL. He showed up BIG TIME and assured me that HE is indeed a LISTENING and RESPONDING GOD. Oh how my faith has skyrocketed as a result! Now more than ever, I have very bright HOPE for my future because I experienced first hand how RELIABLE God is. And for that I will forever be grateful. GLORY BE TO GOD, MY EVER FAITHFUL FATHER. ♥️♥️♥️ To everyone who's struggling right now, please know that JESUS LOVES YOU. HE DIED FOR YOU. He wants to help you and give you peace. Please surrender your burdens to Him and allow Him to move in your life. "Because he loves Me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges My Name. He will call on Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him." (Psalm 91:14-15) Please hold on to this bible verse because WHATEVER GOD SAYS, HE FULFILLS. ✝️

I hit a bad portion of my life awhile back with my partner and lost everything. I've been trying to rebuild for awhile and just seem to not be able to. I know I'm depressed, my mind has been a dark place for a decently uncomfortable amount of time. So.... No Assets, No Friends, No Family, I work full time to this day, always have.

If you're struggling to meet your basic needs it's nearly impossible to progress or improve. There's no shame in asking for help or seeking resources like therapy.

Even more astounding is when you see how how the blowback against female scientists was, how few they were and yet, how successful a lot of them were. In the 70s when women's empowerment started more women got into science and did well. But now we fall back into the 1900s, women again believe they are not up to snuff when in the middle east 50% of scientists are women (there are studies on why that is). And I think it is because there still is that belief ingrained into our society. When Mr. Peterson speaks of eternal laws, it's like speaking of slavery. A slave gets a slave's mindset and, even given freedom, will often not develop. It needs a lot of work to get people out of that. Yet a lot of people would say that simply proves some people are born to be slaves. Because their frame of reference is off. And I think in gender issues, Mr. Peterson's frame of reference is off.

Best and most useful advice I ever took from Peterson is that thinking about yourself causes depression. I control what I think about and, with practice, I could force myself to think about something (or someone) else. It worked a lot better than any antidepressants. Negative thoughts are toxic.

Learning about the schemas underlying your thought process can help a lot as well. It takes work, time, and conscious effort to stop abusing yourself but it's well worth it.

If you combine Dr Peterson's achievements in the field of clinical psychology with his courageous stance against postmodernism and identity politics, he is one of the outstanding people alive today. I would love to see him nominated for a Nobel prize or some equally serious recognition of the work he does to make the world a better place. We need more Jordan Petersons in this world and fewer ignorant, mendacious, malevolent and narcissistic postmodernist fools.

[@antosharboonian6110]

as much as i like Dr. Peterson, i don't think that he's close to receiving a Nobel Prize anytime soon. His work is remarkable and the quality of his speech his up there with other geniuses but in my honest opinion i don't think that he has found anything groundbreaking as in discovering something that would re-write the laws of psychology as to where he'd be a keystone in the evolution of pyschology itself. He's extremely verbal, passionate and thorough in his work which is hard to find in any person.

It feels good to know there’s really slot of other people who understand the suffering that comes with mental illness. I struggle with depression,OCD and anxiety all while have been isolated socially for 8 years. Every time in school I tried to get myself out of the loneliness but I’ve always been rejected,bullied or misunderstood. It’s a painful cycle that destroys your self worth and confidence that the next time you try you’ll make it. It makes you stop believing in Good. If I didn’t find a relationship with God I wouldn’t be here or commenting this today. I still contemplate and think about how easy it would be to feel the pain of a bullet for a split second rather than suffer every night and day with no sleep, food or confidence.

However everyone is smart at something, the hard part is filling in the gaps in your own intelligence. Maybe you might not be aware of your emotional intelligence but it still exists.

I'm going through this now, and I feel that I'm on a road to self destruction. I am conscious of the path I'm on and where it goes and ends and also know its preventable but at the same time feel as if I'm pushing myself intentionally there. I have tried so hard to be happy, successful and until now I have "taken the knocks on the chin" all my life with failure and have brushed it off with ease. Most of my dedication was to my work as a builder because I used to and to some degree still enjoy it, not so long ago I took on a huge project and gave my soul to it only for it to fail catastrophically. The fail was not caused by me but by the customers son, and then becoming aggressive to me. The next big kick was the covid lockdowns, no financial assistance was available, 7 months later the debt compounded matters more. This was a real low point for me, I distanced myself from my family more and more due to the feeling of shame. And then a light in the tunnel was visible, and could return to work but on the 2nd day back and just agreeing a contract, but my vehicle was destroyed by a person not paying attention. Since then I am out all hours, getting further into debt with no end in sight and on the verge of bankruptcy. I have a young son that I love with all my heart ❤ but my inner shame, disappointment, anxiety and lack of self worth is crippling me from even being a good father. I feelbi have no one to share this with, even though I know there are people who care for me but the admission of this to them is impossible for me to do and the most painful thing is that I fully realise it. I have always believed in reaching out for help, but until now I never appreciated why some don't. I hope anyone feeling the same finds inner peace and happiness.
