[@CamMackay96]

As someone who's struggled with depression for years and finally have a good hang of it, yeah this advice is generally good. Outdoors and exercise helps so much, even just getting out of bed and having a shower will always help you feel a little better. And always remember, you'll get through this

[@janhesel8307]

i can manage daytime quite well but what can i do at night ? i need somewhere from 2 to 5 hours just to go to sleep

[@dmurphy1578]

Serious major depression problems. You have to exercise. You need the endorphins. I like to brush my teeth. The jolts from coming off an antidepressant are awesome once you get used to them.

[@Freakazoid12345]

HealthyGamerGG is a great channel.

[@JustinLT212]

Facts I try to walk min 1 hour every day. Just talk to friends on the phone, have a J think of ideas/watch KZbin videos really does help

[@9itten]

​@@JustinLT212The walking is smart. Talking to your friends irl would be smarter. Reading a book would be smarter than KZbin. Or even reading about important topics on pc/phone.

[@splunk9621]

Working from home and not even drinking was the worst thing for me. I’m an introvert but minimal in-person human contact fucked me up to the point that I wanted to die every morning. I took an almost $10/hour pay cut to work a job in person while I finish my degree and it’s been the greatest thing for my mental health. I look forward to each day now. The positive effects of being around other humans cannot be understated.

[@samuelmurphy8692]

Amen. My days off are a nightmare, often.

[@Jdowling357]

Lexapro made me super suicidal and very , very sad and super depressed all the time. I was one in a bunch of folks who it backfired on. Please be careful with ssri meds , if you start feeling worse stop taking it immediately and call your doctor. This episode is spot on, I’ve been struggling lately and this advice is golden.

[@just_ethanj02]

Bike rides, music, and weed helped me to feel amazing last summer.

[@howaboutsomesoyfood]

Thankfully the advice isn’t “just get over it, it’s all in your head.” I was diagnosed with major depression a while ago, some time after I sustained a bad head injury that made it worse. and things like having a regular exercise routine, sleeping better, going outside, little things like that have made a big difference, along with medication and some supplements and nutrients that are known to help with it too I’ve felt much better.

[@Smittywermanjagermanjensen]

The best way I've been able to describe brain jolts is like the shock you get from jumping in cold water. Its not the worst thing but it definitely puts you in a crappy mood

[@chrismason598]

I had those bad when i stopped taking zoloft

[@heehokuzunoha7757]

Forcing yourself to do things that are good for you can help. You basically need to be a slave to your own willpower. Shower daily. Avoid drugs and porn. Try to do some exercise daily. Try to put yourself into situations rather than mentally dissociating yourself. For my whole life I've always felt like my true self was entirely within, guarded and reserved, only to be witnessed by those closest to me. The key to finding new fulfilling relationships is to wear your true self on your sleeve. You will be hurt. People will take advantage of you but you gain wisdom through experience. If you've been beaten and battered once you can assess exactly what led to reality kicking your ass and you can learn to fight it. I am just a student, not a master but I know that I am on a more positive path than I've been on in years. Good luck homies (:

[@jordanstarnes6]

Thank you for that. Going through something pretty scary rn and reading that helped.

[@heehokuzunoha7757]

@@jordanstarnes6 I was also going through some shit when I wrote the comment. I'm glad it helped (:

[@IDontCare2DoYou]

I am the reverse of woody. Exercising sends me into a depression spiral. More human contact and building relationships I just hate and the accomplishment ones are more complicated. The things other people seem proud of me for accomplishing I hate so much.

[@Unemployedsmoker]

I’ve started smoking cigarettes since I quit my job of three years, started another job and ran out because of a panic attack. I think you can understand with a gf across the country enjoying vacation while I sit without a car to drive cause I spent all my money on weed throughout the past few years. Don’t be stupid!

[@ultraspank8479]

🔥🔥 advice woody! I liked this one

[@jonvia]

Woody is right about exercise and sunshine. I got over a bad break up by frisbee golfing a couple times a week at a local course in Columbus OH. It has 27 holes and its a pretty good hike too. Lots of tough shots and takes up most of your morning if you play all 27. It gave me a healthy distraction while I got over that bitch lol

[@demgphix]

All around great advice, exercise can not be overlooked. It doest just make you look better, the hormonal effects are incredible. As for the alcohol, man... I get that, last year I went straight into a river of whiskey/wine. but it really doesn't help anything.

[@christophersimon8486]

Brain zaps felt like I was waking up from a falling dream and grabbing an electric fence at the same time.

[@tokejoker1261]

Thanks, I appreciate it. Y'all are good guys

[@lui1367]

Exercise, smoke weed and work in a trade. Something about building a project to the end and admiring is just breathtaking and rewarding

[@michaelsilva-baca2966]

Problem with weed is it’s really only a temporary bandaid. For those that can control it and smoke every once in a while it’s great. Problem is when you become dependent. Which you do develop a dependency. People always say it’s non addictive but that’s bullshit. Once you develop that dependency you just become a depressed stoner lol. But you’re spot on with the exercise and something to keep you immersed in.

[@fortomorrowwehunt8449]

goodluck working a trade smoking weed, if your injured say goodbye your insurance

[@JustinLT212]

Bro why is everyone so addicted to smoking weed/telling everyone they smoke weed, I agree with the message but if you smoke then leave that to you. Personally I stopped smoking weed cause I feel like I have a clearer head when I don’t smoke.

[@OJA-jf7bp]

just last night i tried to go without smoking for a night because of the rem sleep stuff. and I legit didnt fall asleep once and i have to work now fml.

[@CamMackay96]

@@michaelsilva-baca2966 depressed stoner used to be me 100%, difference between weed and other drugs is getting out of that dependent state is a lot easier when your brain chemistry isn't being altered to require the drug

[@lightldogg]

I can't stand Woody when he talks Trump but man does he get depression. Great advice Woody!

[@sallyspits]

It catches you when you aren't expecting it. I used to think depressed guys were just weak. But now.... You think you're doing fine, but then bad things happen and you just fall down. Next moment is you don't know how you reached there, but you can't even get out of bed to go to work and you have no joy about anything. No joy at all. Even when good things happen to you, you just feel nothing but sadness. It makes you truly think about deleting yourself. It's the worst.

Best depression cure is watching wings

@Film him!! the mirror

thats true. theres probably a term for a person to use as a bad example to motivate yourself to not do what they do. Wings is one of those people.

Honestly each have good advice. Lmfao. The sheets advice is elementary…. But so good. Haha funny enough “wash your face” also great advice. Haha man basic things basic basic things some people are not taught.

[@timhuang9212]

Good show

[@RJCE420]

Depression is some scary shit, my advice is, talk with family, friends or any program/organization that offers free help.

[@Theonlyoneleft1000]

Holy shit I got horrible brain jolts after breaking a strong coffee addiction cold turkey

[@nicholasireland8394]

Alcohol is a depressant.... Find myself sad when i drink so i dont. Find myself sad when others drink and bullshit usually follows so i avoid the entire scene... Lifes kinda lonely when you dont party. Tho the last 60 years has been nothing but party time for the first world, kinda why were in the boat were in...so atleast i get to watch the downfall from a sober stance!

[@UnlikelyZebra]

Depressant doesn't mean it causes depression, it's a CNS depressant. But yeah if you're depressed drinking isn't going to be a net positive, especially if it becomes enough of a crutch that you become physically addicted to it.

[@vicious9602]

I still get brain zaps very often even though I’m taking my ssri’s regularly. This is the 4th depression med I’ve been on so it’ll probably change soon. When I get them it happens whenever I move my head or eyes so every couple seconds. I’m sure my recreational use of drugs has contributed to my mental illnesses, I’ve used pretty much everything except meth. I was in love with ketamine, 3meo-pcp, and fentanyl. But I’m 6 months sober now. I’m 27 now but I have been taking a shit ton of pills a day for a long time for all my shit. Depression meds, anti psychotics, bi polars, anti-convulsions, meds for anxiety, adderall everyday, and suboxone for my opiate addiction. It’s a lot to think about and shit but I still live a decent life I guess. I see a therapist and I take care of myself and can get pussy or be in a real relationship if I want (in one right now, it’s very toxic though she’s crazy). But through everything that happens, I feel like I’ll always have this sense of hopelessness inside of me. An inability to see a future for myself. Wanting to be able to just peacefully overdose alone but loving my family too much to hurt them like that.

[@HugoLaine624]

Yeah yeah just went back from the gym but unfortunately it didnt work. I was not feeling good even trough the process of exercising, unlucky I guess but Ill still keep exercising doe :D

[@jordanstarnes6]

Try getting exercise in a different way. Everyone's different, friend. Maybe the gym isn't the right treatment for you. Maybe running on pavement, rock climbing, swimming or maybe even biking is what will do it for you. I hate the gym because it started feeling like going to work a job I hated. Also got me way to into my head with my anxiety, thinking I was being judged or felt stupid for working out. I bike and swim now & it had totally made exercise fun and comfortable.
