The way I deal with depression is by watching Theo Von and Joey Diaz yt vids. Laughing is the cure.

[@ffnovice7]

Laughing with real motherfuckers helps

[@mattmensing9251]

Both are truly heaven sent. At times of the past when I needed a flash of light in the darkness, comedians were there. They saved me from the dark pit of despair, one joke at a time.

[@Mmargo1017]

I agree that comedy can def help with depression. Also meds and therapy too.

[@kashwalton-tewes4624]

temporary

[@aktimido7352]

Joey Diaz is the DOCTA

[@brandencollings6952]

Mannnn, I wish theo knew how much he actually helps people. I’ve been real low recently and really hatting myself and somehow Theo always manages to help see the better side of myself and life. Been having a real hard day today and really wanting to not be here anymore but listening to theo and what he’s been through and how hard he works on himself gives me hope that I can get out of this a better person. Love u Theo

[@clavididk1236]

This hit home especially because I just got fired from a bakery 😂

[@clavididk1236]

[@ruleten9575]

Move to Alaska.

[@peps121212]

I listened for the inevitability of a great rant more than anything- but have been horribly depressed myself lately and have been more comforted by this video than any other advice I've been given lately.

[@senseisteve879]

I appreciate you theo. For actually hearing ppl out and giving your honest opinion. And that goes along way. So thank for that. Gang gang. We're moving onward

[@Aiur]

that advice is the kind of wisdom i wish I'd learned so much earlier on, the constant cycle of fearing what you may or may not be missing out on or achieving is a mindstate, that at times can be harnessed for productive good but staying in that for too long will just revert you to living a life by comparison to ideals. when in reality, this life and all you make and take from it is an experience, so make yours the best one possible ... and share what you've learned with others , it's how we all grow as a people

[@burroughs334]

Well said.

[@roejogan4540]

💯💯💯

[@matthewplute3002]

theo. your brain is so unique

[@Rex_Colt]

Loving your work on your channel, Theo. Keep it going - thousands of people from here, JRE, joey Diaz's channel absolutely love you. so keep doing your thing, the numbers will 100% grow and we all think you're down to earth with an odd way of explaining your life situations, but it hits home every time. Great wisdom, man.

[@Demitrival]

This was only a year ago. The massive change is amazing! Good job Theo!

[@pearljamm3636]

[@johnhernandez5938]

[@stormcorrosion176]

Theo thank you bro, great video and channel

[@joeyboes7771]

Hope that guy gets through it, there was definitely some pain in his voice

[@_sssnips]

God bless you Theo you're truly a global treasure🙏🏼

[@66Cashius]

really needed this thank you

[@bersi3306]

This is how I came to know about Theo. This video is somehow underrated, but what he says about growth, possibilities and failures, is so powerful.

[@mistacoolie8481]

sincere advise. loved it. peace broda.

[@Mmargo1017]

I agree. Getting your feelings out is so important. Find someone you can trust with anything that you say and let it out. Cry, scream, do whatever will make you feel better. Get those emotions out. Then I would suggest meds and therapy if it’s getting worse.

[@offline7359]

I’m truly grateful for this💚

[@julianphan3657]

I love u so much Theo, ur clips always make me laugh and boost my moral up. Doing the real lords work here!

[@jotcw81]

Finally some sound advice. Well, I’m off applying to that loan and get some matches. Chapeau, Theo!

[@Zfireking]

Thank you boss!!

[@Riceinian]

Great advice, glad I clicked yoooooooo

[@user-eu9ht5me5j]

I was at a dark time three years ago and I watched this video several times a day to get me going.

[@kleinerkasi]

Love you man !

[@0181spikri]

Keep movin!

[@aidanstewart909]

The best way I’ve found is to find a routine. It doesn’t have to be everyday or very long. Something physically stimulating that you commit yourself to. Once you commit yourself to something it gives you a sense of purpose after a while.

[@shaunmillsom557]

So well said Theo, I only just seen you yesterday on Joe Rogan and I thought this is the funniest cnt ever lol. Also in recovery after going through my 20s making mistakes, getting engagef accidentally at 19, lol,😂 getting married, buying a house and having everything that I could possibly want by the age of 21. Then I lost everything and ended up bankrupt, divorced and living with my parents at 29. Getting things back on track and letting what ever happens just happen. Love your work bro, cone to Australia soon. Cheers. 😂🇦🇺♎️

[@bernadettewigfield419]

Shaun Em99 stay off the drugs

[@Sh0n0]

U r a superstar 4 living and experiencing thru that bro

[@xexux3]

Theo you are my unofficial therapist. You are my primo. Today is my birthday and although I am happy and blessed I have been down for the last months. I will get out of these dark arts. Gang.

[@MrBoothyboy1988]

Ever since I lost contact with my son three years ago, I’ve battled with alcohol and substance abuse issues, insomnia, depression etc but I’ve always thought it and come to the realisation that no matter what, alcohol and drugs (apart from weed) exacerbates the depression ten fold and sets me back in all areas of my life. For a week or so after a heavy drinking session I start to forget how bad I felt afterwards and inevitably fuck up... I keep trying and trying but I can never seem to go longer than 12 weeks without letting myself slip. I wish I had a mentor who could help me but I know deep down it’s just me who’s gotta help myself and that’s a hard realisation knowing it’s all down to me in the end. I even moved from the Uk to the Caribbean to start a new life but no matter where u run there’s always drink and drugs... it’s tough man

[@bdtravels5620]

Hope your getting by okay brother. Hope your defeating those demons.

[@iconica8029]

12 weeks itself is amazing brother, just know that.

[@AndyUchiha18]

I hope things havw started working their things out in these last 4 years brother. One more day at a time, Always.

[@DamnFringe]

i feel like as years progress the age of depression for guys get younger and younger do to how this world is tryna make kids grow up quicker and they put to much on there plate way to early in life then they stress over the little shit. me personally the big picture didn’t hit me till i was 18 i realized what i had to do but still bettering myself so maintain my success 🙏🏼❤️ stay up kings

[@tinys9880]

umma do bakery fuggit

[@tahoekev2150]

Man hes so rite, with the internet you can start anything you want to really anything.

[@girlboards4eva]

Still coming back to this whenever I need to hear it, thank you brother.

[@BetaBuxDelux]

I have faith things will get worse. Lock and Load.

[@Z3N1T4]

Dam thought I was gonna hear some comedy and you are dropping truth bombs

[@2102r]

that is some amazing advice i dont really leave fb comments but thank you theo that was some great shit to say to someone your stand up is great and radio saw your interview with joan rivers good shit keep bein funny man

[@curtiscollins2174]

Very well done Theo..

[@michaelblumberg3201]

He is so open good for him

[@Fart_Simpson]

People are gonna rush you into things, but take it one day at a time. It will be okay

[@bryanlettow4389]

Hell yeah brotherin. PornOgraphy is a low time high along with other easy temporary fixers to a deeper need to get out of your own way and analyze yourself as if you were another individual. What needs to be worked on to be better all around. Once you get to rollin it's easier to keep that momentum.

[@nickglttbaow]

How was this only made a year ago. Glad you stepped up ur camera game theo

[@chewy2804]

Nick Serio he said he started in his kitchen until that pizza joint sponsored him

[@bethhughes5734]

I've been a therapist for 30 years, and only wish I was able to give as good advice as Theo does in this clip.

[@Liam8VIII]

"You have time to fuck things up." Genuinely stellar advice.

[@Rayjumpsbaby]

I have smoked weed for like 20 years.. just stopped and I'm on day 4 of not smoking. Pretty depressed

[@boballi114]

Yeah that is stage one......try tough it out for a month Gets better around that time

[@Rayjumpsbaby]

Bob Alli. Ya thanks. I feel more weird and restless then depressed

[@MaddenNature]

Ray Ray dude that's so crazy!! I'm on day 4 also!! But not 20 years. It's more like 5 years but I'm so bored and depressed right now

[@jamesbeaet5135]

go for a walk or bike ride. Always helped me stay off the masturbation and weed.

[@PurpleElephant808]

It goes away don't worry. You have to rewire your brain (synapses, dopamine levels, new blood vessels) it takes time and rest to heal. Boredom is difficult so working out, walks, drives new stimulus's and eventually you will find ways to get high on life. For me it's traveling to new places and new countries. I used to like weed and coke. Quit them both never looked or felt better in my life. Anyway i work hard in the gym High Intensity Interval Training and weight lifting so after 20 minutes i get that natural high but here is the kicker when i'm feeling all good and pumped right after the gym still a bit naturally high i get a nice Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks iced coffee with an espresso shot in their and after i drink that i am beaming and feeling phenomenal like i'm on Cocaine a light dose mind you but the closet thing to the real coke high. Feeling super positive mind sharp feeling high it lasts a while too. Took me about 2 months going hard at the gym and strong coffee to get that way. BTW a strong coffee without the gym has a wake me up affect but the combination working out hard and coffee while i'm still buzzing from that workout is the key. I hope this doesn't sound weird, just trying to help. hang in there though.... give yourself a break.

[@0181spikri]

The harder it gets, the bossier we will get at the end so stick through!

[@dogschosenpeople]

Theo rocks!

[@danielpeter1238]

You are my mentor

[@pulyay]

damn theo lowkey really awesome

[@juliagoolia5604]

love!!

[@goldbolb3]

theo really one of the only people to make me laugh when im feeling like shit

[@wslandry]

Theo you are right but the window is not that big for messing up! You know what they say if I new what I now at 22 I would coast through life and take all types of chances. I remember being crippled about what people thought about me in the working world and public speaking was my biggest nightmare in management. Now at 60 I could give a shit what people think 98% of the time. Life is hard but if you are somewhat happy with what you are doing than you are better off than most people. Money doesn't create happiness it gives you the choices to do what you love. Graduating from college can feel like dread but this young man has youth, health and most important time! One last thing save 10% of whatever you net every paycheck know matter what the amount is and don't get involved with a lady that hates her parents, look at the way she treats her parents and if she is a shit head you are her next victim! Hey Theo I'm new to your art forum just saw you on Joe Rogan. I'm a Abbeyville Cajun trapped in a L.A. body.

[@RoachDoggggJR]

I needed to hear that bit about being young and being able to fuck up. Thanks Rat King

[@chrisanderson5240]

Fuck yeah, I love Theo! I'm about the same age as Von and that is the same advice I'd offer. It wouldn't be as hilarious as his bakery scenario, though. Hahaha

[@jodydavis161]

To theo's caller! yes try lots of new things because i am 55 going on 56 been at the same job for 26 years now i am feeling stuck . I grew up old school old guys would tell me when i was young work hard and you will go places and get a good job and stay it will pay off lol wrong ! I though i was doing the right thing now not so sure ! So yes go for it ! do it for you no one else not a woman , not for your family because at the end it come down to you not them ! live your life for you not anyone else .

[@johnnycage435]

jody davis Man I’m 25 & feel stuck I just feel lost at times especially since I’ve been doing garage security for 3 years I just feel like I’m not moving any advice ?

[@jodydavis161]

@@johnnycage435 Well what do you like doing ? hobbies , or dreams as a career . Are you going to a trade school ? or working on a degree ? If not you may need to give them a shot . By waiting on them to come to you that is never going to happen ! I know i have tried waiting and here i am fifty six in regret for not taking chances staying in my comfort zone and paying a big price . What ever you choose Johnny be the best at it has you can ! Things do not happen over night! You have to practice your craft over and over again what ever that my be to to be the best. Do not give up no matter how long it takes or how hard its gets. you still have lots of time to make lots of mistakes. But learn for them ! live your live for Johnny no one else because only Johnny can make Johnny happy ! Good luck dude !!

[@pj6416]

Sir, I just want to let you know that this is truly some good advice. I just turned 28 and I am completely lost in life, I am suffering from depression as well. Reading your message gives me hope and i hope it does as well to whoever reads your message. I hope you are doing better now than before.
