Yes. I am an ovarian cancer survivor (I was 23). The fact that I couldn't have more children, devastated me. I was diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety. I eventually self meditated with alcohol. I am a recovering alcoholic. 7 years sober so far. 2020 just about put me over the edge. But, I dug into the 12 steps, helped anyone I could. I got a therapist (for domestic violence counciling- I'm also a survivor of that.) I no longer take any pharmaceuticals. I lean on my faith & stay busy. I can't sit around & let my mind go down sick rabbit holes. I'm so glad I found your channel! God bless you! Much love and respect from a sober sister in Eastern NC! 🇺🇸🥰🏖

@proudsouthernmomma9354 - bless you dear and thank you for posting your experience. I am currently coming out of a long term and deep bout of med-resistant depression and anxiety. I'm following a path that includes daily Wim Hof breathwork, 10+ minutes of cardio exercise, better diet, therapy, meditation (1 Giant Mind app is really helping with a TM type of meditation), journaling, social contact, and gratitude practice. I track it as best as I can and I try to get in as much as I can each day. I send my love and energy to you in your quest. Consider some of the physiological items (breathwork and exercise) for your routine. I needed something that wouldn't depend solely on my mind to get better. Love to you.

I think helping and serving others and having good quality time with friends and family is more important than anything you do by yourself, like meditation. Paradoxically, by being more selfless and helping others, you improve your mental health. Becouse you're not occupied with yourself anymore. No trying to fix yourself for yourself.

[@susanmiller1201]

I have suffered severe depression for the last 50 years. I am really good at being depressed. A few years ago I realised that if i can do depression, it might be possible to do ‘not depression’. Having your body in balance as Russell suggests with his points system, is an essential starting point for ‘not depression’. What has really worked for me is the Couch to 5k app. Having completed it, I now run 2.5k every other day and I haven’t experienced a black cloud since.

[@vagabond8812]

The sources of all suffering, like mental health for example, are found in either our inability or unwant to identify the sources of that suffering, not meaning to downplay people's experiences mind you. It is a massive undertaking, the facing of one's personal truth, and one that requires a heroic amount of bravery and humility. They who preform this level of self-realization though, I find are worthy of the highest level of trust of there peers, and earned respect by they themselves. This is after all why we are here, and why we pass on what We have accumulated as wisdom. Self-realization and self mastery. Cheers.

Hi Russell. I would like to see a video on how to interrupt or redirect destructive repetitive behaviour patterns at the moments when you feel as if you are on auto pilot and have already lost the opportunity to be mindful and intervene. I would also like to see a video on how you cope emotionally with the practices of factory farming, fishing, habitat loss, etc and how you make peace with those you love who are not vegetarian or vegan and who still see nothing wrong with imprisoning and slaughtering animals. Much love.

Smile on the outside, and sad on the inside. If sad on the inside, keep that for those that are close to you. That wish to listen. If you have no one close, there are many people like Russell and myself, that are always ready to listen. And sometimes give a little advice. Smiling on the outside, insures you don’t spread your sadness to others. Thus, you are helping others mental health at the same time, showing you are caring not just about yourself, but for others too. It is the best way to show someone you care without using any words at all.

Hi Russell ! I joined your zoom call yesterday ,I try to never miss them as connecting with everyone is really lovely, you seemed so mellow and a bit worn down. Totally understandable.

I tune in frequently to your podcasts , KZbin videos and also am doing a lot on Commune, breathwork , tapping, yoga. These are my reminders to just slow down and breath.

[@nicholestratton8236]

Thanks. Just found this channel as have been enjoying the other channel but have to stop that intense thinking sometimes as I can get overwhelmed by the worries of the future. This is great, practical advice. Before the birth of my third child, a doctor told me my anxiety/depression could be a chemical imbalance and I shouldn't feel guilty if I need to be on anti depressants all my life. 11 years later I have finally come off them, due to the gradual self growth and healing. This came from doing daily yoga on youtube, starting daily meditation, affirmations etc. Watching really positive growth videos instead of negative fear inducing stuff. Learning to quiet and settle my overactive brain and emotions. Then doing an amazing yoga and ayuveda course and fully committing to eating well and put self healing practiced first. I went off the drugs accidentally and then realised I was coping. All the things mentioned in this video are what helped. Spirituality, community, daily nature, health and well being, trying to unplug from the matrix as much as possible. Together we can do this. x

Russell....I doubt you will see this, but I want to say something to you.......and that is THANK YOU. I have had a very unfortunate life to say the least (except for the birth of my 2 sons, who are my inspiration to keep fighting). I have never felt like I am understood. You are the first person who thinks much as I do. I usually keep my thoughts to myself because I am afraid that people will think I am crazy lol. I analyze EVERYTHING. I look at a flower, and where most people think to themselves "That is a pretty flower", I will think "I would love to see this flower actually opening", or, " I wonder if the flower feels it when I pull off a petal" LOL. It's like I always need to know WHY things happen, or HOW it came to be. I love to engage in thought provoking conversations, but no one ever seems to understand me, and say I think too much.... in my view, that is not possible. I found your channel purely by accident, and it has had such a profound effect on me! As I said, I have had a very tough life, and I believe it stems from the fact that never knew my biological father. The man who "raised" me was a narcissistic pedophi*e. As a result, I spent much of my life entering into relationships with men who took advantage of this, as if they sensed I was vulnerable and used that fact to their advantage. I only mention that because I have come to realize through your videos that I have spent my life looking for the father I never had, but longed for. Someone to love me unconditionally, protect me, and be supportive of me. It has ruled my life. In 2013 I was diagnosed with cancer, got treatment and went into remission. YAY right? Not really as the chemo and radiation destroyed my kidneys and immune system. This led to a 7 hour surgery which also went wrong and now I can't absorb nutrients so I lost 57 lbs and am in danger of losing my life anyway lol. Ironically, the "cure" for these things turned out to be worse than the illness. Because of all this I am unable to work, and in danger of losing my home. I have no support whatsoever. Not wanting pity at all, just stating facts.... Friends and family have drifted away. They were all supportive when I was first diagnosed, but after 8 years they got tired of my problems and moved on...but nothing ever changed for me. So I am in this alone, sick, and maybe homeless unless a miracle happens. I have been fighting for my life for 8 years now, and very depressed. BUT....listening to you has made such a difference! You make me have hope and I wanted you to know how very much you have helped me. You should know that you are an inspiration, and one of the wisest people I have ever heard. Under that comedian persona is an extremely intelligent man who more people need to hear. I am so happy that you overcame your addictions and did this youtube channel, because honestly, if I had not heard your words, I think I would have given up. Thank you Russell...you are a beautiful soul, and BTW, you should run for President! I would vote team Russell in a heartbeat! Mmmmmmuah!!!!!!!

I feel like most of us try to rationalize everything while we underestimate the powerful impact the invisible energy that exists within us and around us has and it's something you can learn to control to live a better, healed and positive life full of happiness, love and peaceful energy without the dread of living but only very few people actually manage to do this.. first we have to become aware that behind all of our actions, feelings and thoughts our energy is at the core which takes over the other elements automatically and subconsciously. I've been on medication for so long and it was draining and killing me inside getting worse and worse and I know many other people who suffer from this too but just a week ago I finally decided to quit and I'm on my way to truly getting better and finding healing now which I couldn't do before it made me feel like I wasn't even human anymore but I was very exhausted and misereable, I could barely get myself to do anything because I had no energy left no matter what I did or didn't do but now things are changing for me slowly but surely through all of the chaos that is life and was my life.. I'm not here to tell anyone what they should or should not do because that's not up to me to decide I just hope more people will find the path to true happiness, healing and love or at least a whole lot more than the bad days and the sickening negativity we deal with nowadays. Bless you and you are loved!

Is it bad that it hurts me so much when I tell people I have a mental illness and they tell me I "hide it so well". I know it's meant as a compliment, and people mean well, but I only became good at hiding it to avoid judgement. It's like being told "well done, I honestly thought you were normal and I never would have guessed! Good work!" I'm like guys I have PTSD, ADHD, DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, and I AM normal too. What's shouldn't be normal is the judgement that caused me to begin "hiding it well", and the horrible exhaustion and damage hiding it can cause.

Doctor Joke: A Doctor was giving a very important speech. Worked for days on it. The event came, and the doctor approached the podium. Suddenly they realised, they couldn't read their own note cards. Fumbling for words, the doctor quietly asked the audience "Is there a pharmacist in the house?" ba-da-boom.

Thank you for this Russell. I have been struggling with depression my whole life and I just found out yesterday, a confirmation of a mental health issue that I am not ready to deal with yet. I struggle because my job is be creative - I am a video editor, writer and communicator - and I heard that medication for my condition could cause a "dullness" of my creative side. I started to research this and I looked up celebrities with the same disorder, because I figured the most creative people are well known artists, and come to find out, there are a lot of celebrities that struggle with this. I saw your name on that list and I thought I would look up some of your videos about managing this condition. This video was helpful because you mentioned some things I am going to pray and meditate about - one being that exactly - prayer and meditation. I believe in meditation, as it has worked tremendously in my past when I was undergoing serious trauma and PTSD. I was diagnosed with PTSD in 2019 after I went through 6 years of horrific physical, sexual, emotional and spiritual abuse, but, by far, the three years following those abuses... the legal abuse was the worst. My ex was very powerful and our town was small. He hired a big time lawyer, who was roommates in college with the judge in our case, and my ex was so arrogant enough as to admit that he bribed the judge $28,000 to favor him in court. I lost that case after my family spent $70,000 in legal fees. And then, worse yet, i was falsely accused of a crime and was facing 79 days in jail for something I didn't do. I was in a 12 step program at the time, was sharing openly and honestly, had a great relationship with God despite my circumstances, however, I was still feeling anxious and unbalanced. A friend introduced me to guided meditations on youtube, and I began to feel a deeper understanding, a transcending peace in my spirit, and a relief where I wasn't fully getting it elsewhere. I ended up firing my attorneys, becoming my own attorney (despite all the people telling me I was "crazy" for doing that), wrote a 50 page initial brief to the appellate court, went to trial once again, and finally, finally FINALLY, I won my case as my own attorney. Over the last four years since, I have still been in recovery for my substance abuse, I am five years sober, however, I am still feeling "crazy". So I want to thank you again Russell for this video, because it was a reminder that there may be other ways to deal with my condition that won't affect my creative side, such as meditation. I subscribed, and I am looking forward to learning more from you.

[@claireclews5298]

Thank you so much for the thought and hard work you've put into making this video and supporting Mental Health Awareness Week but especially for the examples you've given for the index/ inventory you recommend. I'm definitely going to give this a go and will let you know how I get on. Your gentle advice regarding not dwelling on negative feelings and allowing them to be all consuming is very much appreciated. I always think it's unnecessarily harsh when the old "tough love" approach of "stop feeling sorry for yourself " gets rolled out, some people have had some horrific life experiences, they're not "feeling sorry for themselves", they're deeply bloody traumatised and being told "you're not the only one" really doesn't help either, it's cold and dismissive. Gentle advice and encouragement like you give is definitely more effective. I will share this video widely, helping you to help others is a privilege. Love always xxx Claire

Dear Russell, I have suffered from Mental Health for over 30 years off & on, first starting with Post-natal depression. I used to be able to kick it's butt & work through it. A medical negligence situation 3 years ago & I fell into a big black hole, whereby, I am now Agrophobic. No Depression is not just feeling sad, as she sarcastically laughs haha haha! You I think must be in a whole different space, for 20 years I taught meditation, I used to be at the gym 7 days a week. now I can't meditate to have my life. But thank you, I do enjoy your talks.

[@jasonstrange1697]

Thanks Mr brand I really appreciate your concern. I have had several events occurred throughout my lifetime that have been detrimental to my mental well-being. Quite a few of those have been within the last 9 years. I have tried everything I I think of to try to get help with coping with what was occurring. I got no help from my family or the general public or the government. The only thing public did was exploit my family and I to the point to where we were done as a family. They did this with such ease as they have many other families. I'm not going to go into the details right now with you. But it will be out in the open soon. I still can't wrap my head around all of it. I've never seen anything like this on television or the movies. I do know that the people who are responsible for those two categories, we're observing me as they egg it on. Everybody has used our situation that we found ourselves in, to their advantage. I feel like I've been stepped on by everyone in the world. I have no first in any entity or faction or neighbor or family. Most especially the mental health systems that are here in this area. I was misdiagnosed as having schizoaffective disorder. When actually it was complex PTSD. Due to all the trauma that I have endured throughout my lifetime. But the strange thing about that trauma, is the unusual amount that I have had to deal with. With no help from the government agencies. And very little help from the public. Including churches and synagogues. I have given up on setting goals and dreams because each time I do this, they get destroyed. Either because of my lapses in judgment, or most of the time because people take my kindness for weakness. When they do this, I'll lose every time. Either by losing by getting screwed over. Or get pissed off for being screwed over, and beating the s*** out of somebody for doing it. Dakota dude raping a girl and I put him off of her and I beat him up. I think 24 girls came forward all together saying that they had been done the same way by the same man. They give me six years in jail for it. I served every day. And whenever I had served my sentence I had 301% of my time done on paper. Whenever I got out of jail I was out 30 days and the sheriff came to my mother's house to arrest me because I hadn't reported for parole. I hadn't reported for parole because I had discharged my sentence. I had to go to the probation office anyway. When I got there they insisted on me being fingerprinted. I refuseed. One of the lady finally figured out that I wasn't supposed to be there she told me in these words, be gone. The s*** like that all my life every week of my life. And I'm just tired Mr brand. I would say that my intelligence is pretty high. I just don't have all the skills necessary to be what is necessary to be acceptable in society. But in all actuality, society is not the way it is supposed to be at all. If it was I would not have had to go through what I have been through. I am not the same as anybody else on Earth. And it wasn't because I was trying to live up to my last name. I have always known, that there was a ghost in the machine. And that goes has always haunted me. There's no place I can go to get away from it. It is always sought me out and help me down. Because it knew did if I got any more minimum. I would be able to chunk a wrench big enough in there cogs, that the whole machine would fly apart. I believe I have a little bit of that moment now. If I could do anything for the world, I would like it if I can make it to where nobody ever anywhere has to go through what I have had to endure in my life. I wouldn't wish it on the devil. We all, every one of us, need to get on the same page. In order to fix all of this for all of us. Most especially our children. Because the children of this world are our responsibility. If you watch a herd elephants, the mother alone or the father and mother alone, aren't the only ones that look out for that baby elephant. The whole clan watches out for those babies. That is what we are all supposed to do for all of the children. Because these children are what is going to dictate the future of this world. I tell you this Mr brand. I would die for anybody's child in order to keep them safe. That is what I tried my best to do for my son. But I don't know if I failed or not. Because DCF won't tell me nothing about where he's at or who's got him. They are being investigated for this reason. The reason being them mysteriously losing people's children. I did some investigating. And I pulled all kinds of rabbits out of the hole. One being that they have a team of people that go around and make sure people have drugs in their face in order to set them up to where their children are taken from them for this reason. And it's strange that the Catholic charities and saint Francis ministries is working with DCF. From what I found out DCF is collecting these children for saint Francis ministries. And Catholic charities. This team of people is called the dirty deeds squad. They sent ATF to my house to take my firearms. A pedophile ring try to accuse me of all the b******* that they're doing. I have been attacked Non-Stop for the last 3 years of my life by the government the Democratic party in particular. Because of some truthful comments that I made about Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton and Bill Gates. I'm not scared of any of these people. If I had my crew or a crew, they wouldn't exist to do what they have done to these children of the world. They would need be able to get back in rotation with their soul. because I would take them completely out of existence to where they would not exist anywhere in the universe ever again. Children should not be subject to any of the b******* that these people have been doing to the innocent children of this world. And I think we are all guilty of letting them do it. I tried to say something about it a long time ago. Of course I was silenced. They can't keep me solid no more. Their time is done. Don't worry about me Mr brand. Worry about bringing these people that have been doing this to our kids to Justice. We can work on me later. Thanks again for your concern. We really do need more people like you. We need to do away with the people, that intend to enslave and butcher us all.

It is about believing you’re worth believing in! Which leads me to a video request - For people that are finally stepping out of fear, how would you advise people to build that confidence enough to do their life purpose?

Soo I just recently found out about the amazing show "hot ones" I was so late to the party.... but I saw your episode and immediately felt a connection to your presence. I had seen your comedy and known of you, but I had never seen you speak freely. I since have been obsessing over your channels, at first I have to be honest, I went straight to a programed mindset. As I saw your content being marketed as conservatives click bait, but quickly realized your content was far from typical political discourse i encounter on the web.. I am really grateful for you sharing so much, and giving your time to building the greater community. Beautiful work and soul. ❤✌

This week I have been diagnosed with Bi Polar after at least 8 years of being prescribed generic ssri's that GP's seem to freely chuck about like it's the solution to everyone's problems

[@saardewolf]

My doctor prescribed me a SSRI (Citalopram) last year and it almost killed me. I became mentally more sick and dysfunctional the more I used the medication and so after 4 days I decided to throw it in the bin. 2 months later I found the Wim Hof Method and now I’m doing SO MUCH BETTER. Life changing!!! We truly have all the power and ability to heal ourselves from within. ✨

[@MatheoGalatis]

Current medical approach only treats symptoms and not the real cause. The approach is always something wrong with you. The bipolar is a symptom of having constantly suppressed the emotions relating to the real cause over a long time. As a result you've psychologically distanced yourself from the true cause and therefore from your own truth. There is a way back without medical intervention, simply by taking small steps acknowledging and allowing the emotions. Ultimately you can come back to your true self and live your life internally free.

[@annabanna8852]

The prescribing of medications implies there is an imbalance of brain chemicals. However, an imbalance of brain chemicals cannot be tested, so how does anyone know if you have an imbalance of brain chemicals. I believe most mental illnesses are due to the fact that we live in a Godless society. If we don’t follow the right path we end up in trouble.

Insightful and practical thoughts on mental health

[@papaburgundy7829]

Speaking from personal experience in battling mental health challenges since early childhood, I can say that medication has changed my life. However, medication is just one piece of the puzzle. Therapy and lifestyle changes are equally important, if not more so, to medication. My prescriptions simply gave me the stability to implement crucial, long-lasting changes. There is no miracle cure; keep that in mind. Medication isn’t for everyone, I acknowledge that, but don’t be discouraged from trying it out if you think it could help. It took me years to find the right doses/prescriptions, and at times it was an excruciating experience, but I wouldn’t trade those battles for anything given where I am now. As trite as it sounds, please reach out to someone/the suicide hotline if you’re feeling that desperate. I’ve been there, but in hindsight I’m so thankful that I kept fighting. I promise, there’s hope :) Sending genuine love and empathy to anyone that’s struggling.

[@EazyModeKamikaze]
