SHOCKING True Stories of Demon Possession w/ Exorcist Expert Adam Blai

[@elenamarina9736]

Depression is an experience and NOT an identity!!! That says all!! ❤❤❤

[@micheller6804]

I'm 41 years old and have been clinically depressed since age 4 or 5. I was seen by a psychologist in first grade, and since then, have been to many therapists, and have tried a number of medications. I understand what you are saying about it not being an identity, yet it has been such a part of me for so long, I don't know where depression leaves off, and the healthy part of me begins. I don't remember a time before depression.

[@fishofgold6553]

In cases like these, I wonder if the condition is inflammatory and autoimmune. Have you heard of Jordan and Mikhaila Peterson's experiences with depression? They treated their depression effectively with an exclusion diet. Also, Wim Hof would suggest treating depression with daily cold exposure and the Wim Hof breathing method.

[@mariemayfield5968]

Ditto..exactly how I felt! Finally at 58, the doctors found the right combination of medication, with excersice and diet, I only knew sorrow for so long

[@breeemckinsey4342]

How have you lived with it for so long please ?? It’s been a year almost for me postpartum ..?

[@micheller6804]

@@breeemckinsey4342 I usually can find something that makes me not feel sad for short periods, like gardening or listening to music. If I'm home and feel especially anxious, I have medical marijuana which helps me sleep. I also will set a timer for certain tasks, and will stop after 20 minutes so it doesn't seem so overwhelming. It's something, anyway. Sorry you are feeling this way too. It must be tougher to have a little one and feel depressed. Hugs to you.

[@farangisehsani592]

Hi. Depression is a reaction to trauma. It is how you perceive the reality, after sth unpleasant happens to you. I suggest, that you watch Sam vaknin videos on you tube. He also offers Cold therapy. God bless you

[@winkingsmileface3807]

Everytime I watch these videos, I cry because you really make me feel like it's okay to feel anxious, to feel depressed, sad, and even just to feel like I can be human. Nobody deserves to be told "Get over it." Like I was told, multiple times, and I won't back down on my true, authentic feelings, Nor will I ever let someone say the words "You're too sensitive." "It's the past." Or "You're being immature." Just because I spoke out against abuse, and I will forever be scared by these experiences, but now, nothing will come between my self love, ever again because of you. As I write this, tears of relief roll down my cheeks. I feel soo blessed to have found out about your channel. Thank you very, very much, Miss Mcadams.😊✨

[@Plug_Art]

Too scared to tell people that I think I might be depressed. Not trying to get therapy because people will know. This video helped, thank you

There is no shame in having depression just like there would be no shame if u had to deal with a muscle cramp. Both are due to a reaction of an organ, brain vs muscle. U deserve help & u deserve to live ur best life. Right now, u r the most important person in this equation. Take care of u 💞

[@kylemos1088]

100 percent agree with this. I find medication helps take the edge off when going through a depressive episode but therapy and changing the way you think helps tremendously and is the final piece in the puzzle. It just takes time and I feel that's where most people get stuck. I thankfully have family members who are helping me through my depressive episode but they always tell me it will end and my brain just needs time, therapy, mindfulness etc to develop healthy ways of thinking. Very beautifully said and I am happy I found your channel:) God sent!

[@philrussell1094]

You are literally just brilliant. Im suffering from the effects of acute anxiety after a prolonged period of stress and have subsequently developed severe depression with paranoia and black & white thinking. Your videos and your passion for your subject is inspiring.

After having depression throughout my life I gave meditation a shot and the spiritual path.

[@johnholme783]

Unrealistic expectations can cause depression; self acceptance is the foundation of good self esteem. It’s not to be confused with resignation of your current flaws or problems, for it is the opposite to resignation, for it empowers positive change and produces optimal results by eliminating performance anxiety. You are perfect as you are, you are evolving, you are a working progress.

[@shyaaammeneen63]

John, Take charge of your mind and body and all will be fine. Meditation heals anxiety as it reprogrammes the mind. Watch alternate nostril breathing meditation videos on Google and do this simple meditation for 5 to 10 minutes if possible twice a day. You can sit on a chair or on the ground and do it. Read the benefits of this meditation on Google search. Inhale-Exhale slowly. Negative thoughts will reduce. Shyaaam Sir, Mentor. Make meditation a daily habit and enjoy life but do it with expectations and positive feelings.

[@yianko2090]

I stumbled upon this channel one day, dunno why youtube waited for so long to recommend it to me because this is exactly what I need, and I have been searching for such content for a while. I finally started therapy around 1 year ago, and I cried first time after 6 months into it during a session because I realised I have been depressed since I was a kid, which, I never thought is possible. I might be on the spectrum so I just don’t understand the society, how people work and that constant frustration just depresses me even as a kid. I cried because I don’t know what a life without depression is, it’s been too long since the last time I walk on this earth without depression. I really appreciate you and this channel although I haven’t watched all of the videos!

[@SirFrancesLavey]

The best way I can describe (my) Depression especially when it surfaces after a period of experiencing relative normal functioning is that it creeps into my thoughts and eventually a veil is lifted and I am made to feel any since of identity and satisfaction I have achieved is a lie and THIS low state of being is what I'm supposed to be feeling. It has taken years to get back my life from mental illness but it is worth it. Investing in your well being is always worth it because you deserve to be happy and to love yourself.

My preferred language is 'I'm fighting depression right now.' Not I am (defining myself as a depressed person). Not I have (claiming ownership of it). Fighting it means it's not me, and I can win the fight.

I suffer from a chronic autoimmune. And when I talked about my struggles with it, someone said “You have depression.” Just one sentence. Duh, of course I have depression like anybody with stubborn health issues, but my struggles were coming from the discomfort I have to deal with everyday, not depression itself. When that person said “You have depression” it got stuck in my head and made me stop doing everything I was doing. It took me hours to get out of my bed and to get my day going...It was like some spell that I was told to be depressed and that’s how things were going to be.

[@Ellen-hy4zj]

Thank you for this video. There are so many treatments for depression, that is so true. Exercise is probably the best that I have found, way better than pills! But so is sleep therapy (there are online modules), yoga, and disconnecting from negative people, the news, etc. And nature is a massive depression healer! Finally, depression does lift at midlife, for a lot of people. I've found that to be true. Good luck to all of you out there, don't let depression get the best of you.

[@aligator9552]

I have spent my life studying factors about my depression. Though I have addressed food, sleep, thinking patterns, social dynamics, self-esteem, assertiveness, etc... I still take that 1 pill every day. How long my neurochemistry will depend on medication to function normally has been a big question. To say that the depression no long bothers me is also saying that I can function normally so long as I take a pill. When I hear people say that depression is not permanent, I would like to think that taking the medication will, one day, not be required to be well. Without the pill, the depression has been present.

Depression is the only medical condition involving an organ where the organ isn’t regularly looked at through scans. You talk to a psychiatrist for 20 minutes, they tell you you’re depressed, and you walk out with an Rx. I really wish doctors would start actually looking at peoples brains to figure out the best mode of treatment is. I’ve been battling depression and anxiety for 16 years (half my life) and nothing has helped. I’ve just resigned to the fact that maybe this is how I will always feel. Hopefully I can get some help through these videos.
