      I started having depression at the age of 9. I start historically crying when i'm all alone and no one's there. I actually like being alone. Because it makes me let all my tears old till I calm down and then be normal. One time I used a tip that in my brain I pictured a settings page and I said "Happiness 100%" and it actually kinda worked! It doesn't work anymore all I just do is put out a big smile and confuse my brain if i'm happy or not.

    as a rather introverted person, at the same time being a shy guy with a moderete level of social anxiety, zoning out is comfortable I must say. But rather in the sense that not always I imagine past or future, just observe then I have a conversation with myself. Coming out with a topic and discussing with myself, sometimes I agree to the voices in my head, sometimes I make a reason to decline. Of course it is not rare as well that I zone out like as discribed in the video since, I'm anxious most of the time. I get to the point of being lost from the world, just to enjoy my internal monologue

  • @Shaowolf
    @Shaowolf Před 7 lety +57

    I don't agree with the answer unfortunately. I think the answer lies in being gratefull and thankfull for everything. Instead of looking at things you don't have, concentrate on things you do have. Also loving, yourself, others and giving is a big part of happiness.
    The reason for this is that your thoughts determine your feelings and that determines your behavior. So how you think is the most crucial thing for determining happiness within yourself. You can still meditate and still feel depressed several years (know that by a friend of mine).
    I've learned this by psychology and studies

    the perpetual bliss is a lie. It doesn't exist. Happiness comes and never overstays its welcome, therefore we should deeply appreciate it when it arrives. We should realize that no one can or have "it all" so we can cut down on the one thing that impedes our happiness: Envy.

    You’re absolutely right,
    I started meditating when I was 16 and i can’t even describe it. It was clarity. It was contentment. Mindfulness was easier, natural. I felt ready to thank on the world & explore it.
    Now that I’m 25 I haven’t meditated due to not having my own room for years and constantly moving… but since I have that safe space now. I’m going to start meditating again, Thankyou for reminding me. I’m just scared of all the thoughts to sift through since the last time…but it’ll be worth it. Thankyou!

    My dads friend told me that in order to live a full life is to not take things to seriously and to not react to failure with sadness but with an intent to learn from it and become better, also find what you like to do don’t let your family influence what you like to do and your job, he told me that the best thing he did was study abroad and go on vacations by himself to force himself to meet people and interact more, he said that changed the way he thought and stopped being so shy. He also said that not everyone is your friends and your friends from childhood aren’t your close friends but people you know but you will start to make deeper connections starting from your teenage years, so just put yourself out there and be more relaxed and don’t care too much and don’t be shy.

    I wanted to leave the place several times. It's all becaude of my mind. I over analyze things a lot. I feel like it never gets better. I have my hopes and dreams, but it those little things like getting a bad grade that bring me super down. It's weird. I just want to keep a positive mindset. I don't want to be happy i want to be perfect. So I won't feel so left out and so I won't let others down anymore. It feel like I just can't achieve that. It feels like one the days a feel happiest, the darkness comes in and I feed it. I feel likr giving up

    The feeling of being nearly blind and then finally putting your contacts in after not having them and you get to look at the trees and sky and clouds and just smile because life is so beautiful. If it wasn't for the experience I would call this video bogus, but I seriously agree. If you can look at anything and fully sit there and comprehend it, it can be a spark of gratefulness and often lead to a happy mindset.

    I just watched this video and just meditated for the first time. All the symptoms you talked about occurred, but along with it a weird magical thing that I want to experience again some time. When I sat there, just as you said my mind wondered off in the first few seconds but I brought it back to breathing. And my mind constantly dwelled off but somewhere I weirdly managed to bring it to the present, an experience I've never had before. It was like I was there, but not there. I was only thinking about breathing, the fluid of air going in and out, and I felt my heart beat. Then the next part felt really weird, it felt as if I was an observer from outside watching myself and feeling myself at the same time. I was in the real world, but at the same time in my own world, and then my mind was suddenly just blank. Only thoughts were on my nose and the air around it. No sense of time whatsoever, I don't know how long I sat there but just suddenly my 5 minute alarm woke me up and I am now in a weird sense of calm, detached from my emotions. I just wanted to share this if it was interesting, even though it might have been a common experience

      221rays Try guided meditations first. It really helps specially for beginners, if there's someone guiding you in your meditation (even if it's a pre-recirded tape). There are plenty of excellent apps out there with guided meditation sessions like Insight Timer, Headspace, Calm, Omvana etc... I'd recommend the first 2, they helped me the most.
      And no, it's NOT meant to be hard. The more you practice, the easier it gets.

      I don't want to oversell meditation as a wonder pill but in my personal case, it really has transformed my life for the better. I started meditating a year ago in my final year of uni and it gave me the self awareness to know what my aim really was and the extra focus to study harder than I ever did. I aced my final exams and since then it has helped me improve in so many ways.
      Meditation only actually develops a greater sense of calm, focus and self-awareness in you. That self awareness however is key, as it helps you detect unhealthy habits and patterns in your behaviour that you weren't even aware existed. It made me realise how I was sabotaging my own success and that it was MY responsibility to make a conscious change.
      I stopped complaining and living in the past or blaming my situation on anyone or anything other than myself.
      I finally started reading and watching resources about self development and actually started putting them into practice. So meditation was for me a "keystone" habit whose positive effect spilled over into every other aspect of my life.
      I started a journal (as opposed to a diary) and have discovered so many self destructive thought and behavioral patterns in myself.
      Have gotten the focus to stick to an exercise regimen.
      I've learned to recognise feelings of anger and frustration as soon as they arise. This especially has helped me A LOT in dealing with people (be they close or strangers)
      Am better able to deal with situations when shit hits the fan.
      Overall more calm and focused.
      So mindfulness ITSELF may only make you 10% happier but if you keep your practice up, it will snowball into something truly transformative.
      If you're already a very disciplined and focused person, it may not make as big an impact, but it WILL help you nontheless with very little time investment on your part.
      So I'd definitely advise you to try it for a week. Since it's free, there really is no pressure to carry on if you find it's not working for you.
