Hi. Sorry for writing this again, but I really need this information. I just wanted to ask: Are there any videos related to specifically depressive/suicidal thoughts? Right now I'm listening to your other podcasts (okay, more like I *was* listening, because now I'm on a little break), and I saw that you really know what you're talking about, and how much experience you have. Your videos help me a lot, and I get a lot of insights from them. The thing is, I was wondering if it's possible that depression simply comes from our thoughts. And if so, if you learn how to deal with them, will that help you recover from it? The idea, that "we should not follow thoughts, that cause us suffering," and comparing it to how our body reacts to physical pain - how it sends us pain signal, to avoid even more pain - really has helped me a lot. I always try to think of that rule every time I'm starting to feel paranoid again, and it really helps if you work on it. Maybe I can put the same method when it comes to my other, depressive thoughts. That's all I wanted to ask. Once again, I appreciate the effort you put into creating those videos for us. So thank you. Also; sorry for any grammar/spelling mistakes. English isn't my first language.

I reccomend Dr Bill Petits videos, he also talks about the 3 principles, and low mood/depression. I reccomend Sydney Banks also, his videos might not make sense at the start thats okay. Also Michael talks about his depression/suicide thoughts a lot in some of his other videos because he actually dealt with them a lot and recovered. Also your english is amazing and try not to put too much pressure on yourself, you are built to heal :)

Yes, the 3P understanding can definitely help to overcome depression. But my experience is that it goes better if you dont look in the direction where depressive thoughts come from but the other way. Means: Dont try to figure that "depression" thing out. Look for where all thoughts come from, the deeper space, nice feelings. It's not your job to fix yourself, neither your thoughts. You're already whole underneath your thoughts. PS: the 3P are no "method" - dont use them as such. ❤

@@dominos1529 Thank you so much! I already checked his YT channel, and he is - as you said - talking about depression a lot. I'm definitely going to put his videos into practice. Oh, alright! Yeah, I actually knew that he had similar struggles because he was saying that at the beginning of some of his podcasts. I couldn't find a lot of videos that he's talking about, though. It might be because I was looking at the wrong place then, or either didn't put enough work to search them...- If it's not a problem for you, could you send me a link to like one, or two of his videos? Or if there's any playlist or something related to them? If it doesn't bother you, of course. If so, thanks in advance! And once again - thank you for the kind words that you wrote at the end. I appreciate it a lot. ^^ (I might have written too many "thank you's," but I genuinely mean it when I say this.)

@@dominos1529 Oh, and when it comes to Sydney Banks - I already had watched a few of his videos, and he really does say a lot of wise things. Although I've realised that watching those videos simply isn't enough, because I didn't put it into practice when it comes to my depression.-

@@BettinaRamm Thanks for the advice! So, as far as I understood, you have to not follow the thoughts that are depressive and try to focus more on the thoughts that cause us to feel nice feelings? With understanding how all the thoughts work, of course. I've also once heard a phrase, that "if a thought causes you pain, this isn't an objective reality, but rather subjective thinking (that simply does not represent the truth... or at least I understood it that way)" Oh! I see. If they're not a method, then what are they? More like a universal truth or something?
