    Watched this video a couple of month ago - fixed my sleep cycle, started doing my work in the library not my room, set realistic measurable, started exercising more and stopped worrying so much about things I couldn't change. I'm quite happy and am feeling a lot better than I was before - thanks for the video.
    I think portraying it as 'do this to maximise sadness' rather than 'don't do this to be happy' makes the message a lot more palatable and lets it sink in easier

Look at the bad times you had in the past and try to work out how they were your fault or how they mark general trends in your life.

      4. Don't fret over irrelevant topics and things that you can't control. If you want to do something, do it.
      5. Set a clear and achievable goal. Make small consistent goals.

      Matthew Taylor both paying and not paying rent have advantages. Depending how much you pay you can be left with very little money so you are unable to do anything, plus work can leave you exhausted so you won't do anything anyway.
      Not paying rent leaves you without a weekly goal "make this much money", it doesn't force you to get a job which is a distraction and most of the time provides human interaction, you are also not paying for your own basic needs which can make you feel worthless.

    I do most of these and surprisingly I'm not really miserable and even happier than ever before, I just simply REALLY enjoy being alone in my room, it feels like a little freedom of sorts, free from whatever is happening outside, and can do anything I want, before I had to go outside more often and I was always very anxious and nervous just by being around other people, vaguely hearing them about different things that I just never fully understand and just had to stay still and quiet until I could finally return home exhausted by the day

    I think this is far more effective than any motivational video about success. No one wants to change up their lifestyle if what they have going for them is working. No, you may not be happy with how you are living, but you aren't dead and it could be worse. A lot of the time motivational videos talk about what actions you *can* take in order to improve your life, but not what actions you should quit doing.

Depression isn't about putting of goals and stuff it just means that you struggle to find the will power to do things that can be really simple such as getting out of bed, making a meal (i often missed breakfast while depressed) and you have just a constant lack of energy. It is hard to get out of depression but you just gotta hold on.

    When you are old and disabled, all your close family is dead, all your friends moved away years ago, you live in a town so small that it only has one small grocery store and literally nothing to do, and you can't afford to hire a stranger to drive you an hour to the nearest town and wait around while you shop or see a movie, or whatever, then drive you an hour back - what do you do? Because of my lack of vision, I don't dare take the chance of driving more than the 3 miles to the grocery store once a week- and nobody there ever wants to take the time to chat with a stranger. The two friends I have left living in other states have their own health problems and don't feel like taking on the phone more than a few minutes maybe once a week or so. My physical limitations prevent me from doing a lot of things but I do what housework I can in order to get some exercise every couple of days. Otherwise I stay on my phone in order to get mental stimulation and not think about how depressed I am. You make it sound like everyone intentionally makes themselves miserable and don't take into account that a lot of us are victims of circumstances we either can't afford to change or are not physically able to change.

      So if someone wants to go skydiving with a broken parachute because they think it’ll just make them fall faster, but they’ll still be safe we shouldn’t stop them because no body else knows what’s good for you?
      If we find out someone has suicidal thoughts we shouldn’t help them because we don’t know what’s good for them?
      We should just let pedos roam with our children because we cannot know what is good for them?
      Yeah, nobody can give advice to anyone, ever.

      No,
      He means that you know damn well that’s a stupid idea and you shouldn’t rely on others to stop you from doing the things you know you should not do. He also didn’t advice you not to help people that are seriously confused.
      Edit: What you did was a classical straw man argument. Although in the context of maximizing misery maybe you just improved his advice.

    Currently, I am on an antidepressant for, you guessed it, depression. Nearly every one of these things, I am doing. But I don’t know how to do otherwise.
    I don’t know how to set SMART goals because for my entire life, I have only ever set VAPID ones. The only reason anything ever got done was because people told me what to do.
    I try to sleep and wake consistently but I cannot. If I am not tired, I cannot sleep no matter how hard I try because my mind does not shut up (thanks ADHD).
    This video is depressing for me because it paints the image that I cannot change the course, no matter how much I wish I could. I am stuck in a whirlpool that is dragging me down.
