I cant even get into a shower until it heats up. That first blast of cold water sends shivers all over me...these people are super humans!

[@user-rv2yd1wr3r]

Привет, скажу тебе маленький секрет, в душе на много тяжелее чем в проруби, особенно утром, дома тепло в среднем 25 градусов, а вода ледяная +2+3, т.,е вода на 23 градуса холоднее чем температура дома, поэтому тяжело и кажется холодно, ты нагрейся хорошо чтоб было жарко потом резко перекрой горячую воду, глубоко дыши и не напрягайся на голову сначала можешь не лить воду только на тело, и увидишь что несколько секунд ты простишь, главное не напрягайся и дыши глубоко. Если есть у вас клуб моржевания сходи посмотри, поговори с людьми которые моржуют. А вот на улице уже наоборот если - 20 градусов, а вода +3,+4 градуса то получается что вода теплее улицы на 24 градуса и окунуться будет намного легче чем душ дома, так как в клубе моржей обычно позитивная обстановка, там нет такого что кто-то окунулся а кто то нет, и для тебя будет мотивация они могут и ты, как только окунешся 1й раз, все потом с каждым разом будет легче, как то так, сам плаваю по50 метров за раз, у нас прорубь 12,5 м на 4м, туда обратно 25, и так далее, тоже сначала окунывался а потом поплыл, у нас большой клуб в Новоуральске, кто-то по 200,300,400,метров плавают, со временем сам поймешь сколько лжешь проплыть, или просидеть, поверь все кто приходили первый раз в итоге плавали, не помню чтоб кто-то не смог. Удачи

[@walden6272]

I understand what he meant when he said the ice bathing can help heal our depression and "awaken us to the world". I used to work 2 jobs just earning a good living but was not happy, felt like I'm going through life like an empty shell, not really connected to the world around me. Then one day my friend wanted to go rafting on a river and our raft flip over and I drop in the cold water and could have drown. Then after struggling to get out of the freezing water and making back safely on land, I experience a spiritual awakening. I have never felt so alive. I realize I'm wasting my life away slaving away for riches. So I quit both my jobs and took a year off to explore the world around me, did lots of fishing, camping, and road trips. Now I live a minimalist life style which can afford me more free time to enjoy life because I don't need to earn a lot of money.

I had a chemistry teacher who once said that if it's like -25 Celsius and there is no wind, wind literally not existing, you could practically walk with a t-shirt outside and the cold wouldn't bother you that much. According to him, it's the wind which makes the cold unbearable. I have no idea if that's true but he sounded confident.

[@shakmo6611]

Isnt depression self pity?feeling sorry for yourself?thinking that world owes you something?surely you should feel positive get up and go?

[@SrMorua]

@@shakmo6611 depression is being incapable of feeling happiness. When I feel depression I do not feel the world owns me anything, that's not depression, that's just being immature and entitled. Depression may be caused by biological reasons ,in my family is a genetical thing, our brains do not produce properly serotonine. We end up requiring medication to get back ourselves. When depressed I feel empty. I can pretend otherwise, to do not make others worry around me, but inside I feel like a void. If I feel anger is not against others, is against myself. I do not feel pity about myself because pity means you feel some empathy, what I feel is that I should not be living, to stop being a burden for my family, I do not want them to suffer because I think I am a waste of human being, I rather dissapear totally, but I know that will make them suffer even worse. Having the medication, working out in the gym, swimming, sleeping properly, winter, eating balanced, all those things give me the serotonine I need, made my thoughts clear because my brain begins to work properly. I hope this gives you a better understanding leaving assumptions aside.

[@shakmo6611]

Thanks for the reply having said that you turned off the reply feature?isnt that voicing your personal selfless and hiding away which in itself isnt dealing with concern .thus meaning self pity?self harming or wanting to kill yourself ?self pity and loathing crying out for sympathy?so everyone around feels sorry for you?I would have disagree with your understanding of depression.

[@phen-themoogle7651]

You'll feel better if you get in cold water first, it'll motivate you to go for the run to warm up your muscles I think lol And the water Nikolai is in, might be warmer than the temperature outside since liquid water freezes at 0c, and he broke ice to get in it, although it might feel colder than 0 or be chilled. I read some scientists found water at -40c though, but still probably slightly warmer than outside the water there. You're still a living legend as well though, to me. I live in California and even 40f feels cold to me lol But when I lived in Japan and there was no central heating I almost died, so I know how scary the cold can be first hand. If you have ways to regulate your temperature throughout the day and not always stay cold you'll be fine.
