The illusion of shame, is the reality of unexpressed emotion. 🖤
I have had depression since 14. Thirteen years later and it still plagues my life. It's a daily fight. No, I don't think it will go away. I hope it does. But I've changed my entire life, my thoughts, my beliefs. I eat the healthiest diet, all wholefoods, and try to stay positive no matter what. Cold baths, supplements, meditation, yoga, excercise, thai chi and yoga. Constantly learning, growing, following my passions. You name it, I've probably tried it.
And guess what? Depression is still lethally strong.
Doctors and therapy hasn't helped. Medication, living life in true balance, etc.
Hey, what to you think about regression, reiki or psilocybin therapies? I’ve been doing research for the last few months and there’s lots of positive feedback on those. So maybe it could help you too!
I really hope you’ll overcome it sooner or later and sending you all support and positive energy! ❤️
Thanks for sharing Tom so True when I was in my late 20’s I was suffering from anxiety and depression in hindsight I believe loneliness was a big issue as well. I went the “medical route” the medication made me such a shell of a being, in absolute desperation I went to my dr and told him of my desperate state in which he doubled my dose. I went home knowing that this medication was making me worse so I instead quit all meds on the spot. “Don’t do this” I suffered weird ssri withdrawal effects for a week or 2 and within 2 months I was nearly back to my normal self. I then made life decisions to re-engage with life and nearly 20 years on I’m happy, married and enjoying life. I’m overweight and have some stuff I need to work on. But the takeaway is this. Had I continued on the meds I would have self deleted no doubt in my mind. I didn’t realise how badly they reacted with me until I quit, at least for me they scare the crap out of me and I worry when I know family or friends are on them. There are absolutely way better healthier ways to improve your being. The best ways are to listen to people like you and others who have walked through the fire and emerged Healthy happy and Wise. God Bless mate.
Beautiful 🎉
Tom I’ve been watching you for a while now and I just want you to thank you for being the kickstart to my own spiritual journey. You and Jarrad Wright were and have been there for me and given fantastic advice that a 18 year old kid needed a couple years ago. Happy to see that not much has changed in the potency of your messages. Appreciate you!
I used to be against medication but things went so bad for me that I had to give it a try. I was prescribed french "Atypical tricyclic antidepressant" from SSRE group called Tianeptine. It's not the same as SSRI. It's mechanism is opposite meaning that it enhances reuptake therefore decreases serotonin in the brain paradoxically giving antidepressive effect, altough it's mechanism is still not well understood by scientists. It also works on dopamine and noradrenaline receptors so helps with ADHD and dissociation. So far after 3 months of taking it my mood is noticably uplifted and I have 2-3 times better focus. I'm sensetive in discerning if something is placebo and this definitely is not and has little side effects so far.
It’s okay to take meds if you’re really on the edge bro , if you’re really in bad states then you can’t even get out of bed! I’m happy to hear that you’re feeling better!
Thanks for sharing, I haven't heard this mechanism of action before but it sounds very interesting.
High possibility for addiction due to opioid center agonism though, be careful with that.
@@PsychoticTarantulas As long as one uses normal prescribed therapeutic doses, there is no risk of addiction AFAIK. This video has some nice information on tianeptine czcams.com/video/A3I65OCGalM/video.html
its okay to take em if u need em. At the end of the day you need to get out of bed to start changing your diet, excercise and socializing with people that you love, which ies eventually what is going tyo boost you off that horrible state. Im glad to hear you are better! KEEP GOING MAN, LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL!
Also, i used to be the guy thinking he "figured it out" and was immune to depression. My psychedelic phase was so amazing, and suddenly my brain stopped working (concentration issues, confusion, psychs were just my sober "everything is meaningless" AMPLIFIED) and i got depressed AS FUCK 😂
When deep in depression it's hard to find what the soul needs. One can be willing (which is already a huge step) to change their live, think outside what society/people expect, put up with the uncertainties of a new job/life, but if you don't even know what the soul wants and what job/life fits with it. Then it's hard to overcome it.
I agree with all the points you said: food, gut health (!), exercise, socialing with people who are good for you, a job with certain level of (soul) satisfaction.
Glad to see you back to posting... sending love from Chooma island!
Tom, as one who has been diagnosed with depression ect ect and has been on medication for years I can say with absolute confidence that you are…100% ON POINT.
Beautifully said-brother. I’ve never heard it articulated so concisely. It’s a powerful teaching because you aren’t saying “do this or don’t blah blah” but this is very empowering. Many of us with this feel like we got a dealt a bad hand and it’s up to the medication. We have to rely on hop3 .What I love is you are implying that one ought to be honest with oneself, be brave enough do the things our soul needs to do…to live from that place.
Thank you, I’ve been in the thick of it lately and that is exactly what I needed. ❤
I got a condition called PSSD from antidepressants, and it can be so hard accept that what you were told by the system was all wrong.
Stay strong out there! Wishing the best to anyone struggling.
It’s tricky because none of this is completely straightforward…it’s all very nuanced. For some people certain allopathic treatments works and there is evidence to back that. At the same time there are people who were incorrectly prescribed certain things because there is a one size fits all diagnostic categorization where certain large corporations align themselves financially so as to make a profit…many people like yourself develop conditions from the “treatments”
I love Tom! I feel like I share in so many of his thoughts and process on the journey! Wisdom
Love itt 🔥good to see u back
The best intentions make the worst mistakes
The more one identify with something or someone the more he suffer, is the identification with some role that make us suffer.
The mantra that is helping me to be humile is "I am nothing and I am nobody" everyone should end their hallucinations of wanting to be someone and begin to be nothing and nobody.

I used to be this amazing monke who loved life but for some reason everything stopped making sense in my head and just started feeling random. Like what's so great about ? Even after coming to conclusions like "Ah! Life is about enjoying the little things! And living it!", that quickly stopped having any significance in my mind and i just went back to feeling like i don't really care about anything i used to care about. Music meh, art meh, games meh, nature meh, sports meh, food meh, friendship meh, technology meh
Meh.
Everything meh.
That's why i started seeing it as a function of brain health, rarher than identity or "finding the right perspective" or something
5:30 i treated myself for a condition called "small intestine bacterial overgrowth" because eating salad and "healthy" actually made things worse.
I *think* i killed the overgrowth in my small intestine, since i do feel better, yet not "good" or "great" at all yet. So maybe that part comes now once i diversify my diet again
I went through depression during my spiritual awakening, Only lasted 2 weeks then after that my mind became clear and still.
100% pills should be a last option. I've had back pain since I was 16 due to debilitating depression anxiety and addiction which led me to believe I couldn't hold myself up so I stopped physically doing so. I felt ready to kill myself but held off feeling there was something more and tried acid and found some purpose. Recently (I am 22) I still have back pain and I'm still fighting to stand up for myself and do the things I know I want to do. I sprained my neck 1 month ago and they prescribed muscle relaxant and steroids. It helped I actually was able to do more shit again. Now I've been using my back more and it's still getting used to it and I decided to get dhea to help and it is aswell but I also recognize it's not something I can rely on all the time.
Regardless my point is. Exercise and diet was the first thing to change once I was able to change those habits. And i got better and am getting better. Sometimes I need a bit of a boost too keep going cause we live in a capitalist system and we effectively turned ourselves into sharks so if we stop moving we risk our livelihoods. It's such a balancing act but if things were balanced nothing would go anywhere!
10:18
I mean yea, could be that all i ever wanted, like have fun with my hobbies, chill naked in nature with people, make music, art, etc. is actually wrong and not what i want and just a result of soceity forcing me in a box i was never able to look out of
Buuuuut it SEEMS like those are things i really want and my brain/body just randomly slip into this pathological "everything is meaningless" state
--> i suspect my body/gut is sick and my immune system is shutting me off to... heal? not eat? not infect others?
8:10
Not a bad hypothesis. At least in germany psychotherapy aims to find what is wrong for you in your life and maybe use the antidepressants as a helper for you to get some energy to change your life, never a long term solution.
Gotta say, i been going down that list for a while, and after 3 years i'm finally considering the pills cause man i just wanna live again and not be lost in the constant void
But again, i'm slowly seeing improvements from diet & exercise so i might aswell skip on them like originally planned 😊
Tom, would you be willing to speak about grief turning into depression? I know of some who have succumbed to depression by way of grief, resulting in family becoming caretakers for them in some way and it’s a very sensitive subject. 🙏
Already had depression because i can't function in society because i'm autistic. Now i also found out that i have a incurable muscle condition where my muscles will get weaker over time.
Kinda feels like i am defeated and never going to recover from this.
Not sure what will help me at this point. I am on meds wich worked fine before but now it feels like i'm not even using them. Went to look for further treatment for depression but there is long waiting times for that (8 months)
So yeah barely hanging on here.
Being autistic in THIS world is akin to swimming up Niagara Falls. I sincerely hope your soul is granted grace. I see you❤
2:33
Large agree, to expand upon that
It's not just serotonin, it's many other chemicals we don't even KNOW about. And those we do know about it's like this cocktail of alpha, beta, whatever chemicals, huge list some scientists found out. Also short chain fatty acids like butyrate, proprionate.
And also the immune system & the adrenal/stress system play a huge role in it.
I personally have been getting better with my depression through diet and exercise so far.
It all ties back to our bacteria & fungi living in us. It's almost like we're a planet to them and if they are happy & good for us they will feed the soil that is us.
Im liking your stuff
Go Tom! ✨
You are a wise man
3:20, haven't tried SSRIs yet, but ironically, a test showed i have KINDA low serotonin & dopamine in my body, and taking the precursors to them, L-Tyrosine and 5-HydroxyTryptoPhan (5-HTP), DID show SOME improvement for me! 😂
11:30 ah yes gratitude. Used to appreciate every single thing, stopped meaning anything, became way too exhausting for my dead brain to carve out the meaning in everything (except when the depression lifted)
Also depression is the word i use, but i never believed in it cause it's so much more
Sometimes energylessness
Sometimes my soul feeling asleep
Often call it psychosis because it just feels like nothing exists anymore
I'm usually very descriptive in my mind but depression is the word i use for others to SORT OF understand 😅
Often it's also "i feel like shit" "i feel like nothing", and so many more i don't remember cause it's always a little different. Probably used like 100+ words for it by now
thank you once more
Could also have to do with stress & cortisol
I notice relaxation (definitely the one induced by weed😅) definitely brings me back to my beloved earth somehow
💥 Kaboom!
Depression is a mutha fukka. I identify with everything in this video. Ii sounds whack but entity attachment is how I view depression now. Something latched on when I was heavy in the soul-loss and I’m lucky I got out alive. I think…am I lucky- oop and there’s the nihilism bleeding thru again. 😂 rinse repeat.
Why you ghost Dakota?
Whatever or whoever Dakota is probably doesn't matter this dude is clearly dealing with shit rn I'm sure he'll get back to whoever sooner or later but let the man take a break
12:12
Yeah that's also what i hear psychologists often say, just not the right life for your specific brain
Ngl i lowkey wanna stop and rebuild everything from scratch
But i gotta make food, which is stressful af 😢 (FR!!)
But if i could
I'd love to find my peace again and just
I dunno
Though again, last time i tried, my mind was just like empty, nothing feelt like anything, existance itself felt wrong
Maybe i was actually sick and slowly getting out of that and can now reorient and reorganize from 0? From a place of nothing & relaxation? I'd love that
Thank you for your input, i can delete my little rants here if they're cluttering your comment section.
ignorance.when people are holding to the false believe that they were taught,that taking from others,is the way to take care if their needs.
we are also lead to believe,that more is better in all cases.from those false habitual thoughts,suffering comes.
our nature is to cooperate,and to take care,when we do the opposite,we suffer.
if doing billions would make people happy,musk and zukerberg would look glowing.
0:12, didn't continue yet. I dunno how up to date you are on the topic, but scientists and psychologists have been doubting the whole idea of low serotonin for a good while now. Officially, depression is this complex thing that usually can't be treated with just medication.
However, if you do have low serotonin, it's more likely that you develop depression
They say the "monoamine hypothesis" or whatever was likely prematurely adapted and provoked by pharma companies as the tested antidepressants showed only slight improvement against placebo. If we search for chemical causes, it's likely toxins, the immune system, inflammation & neuroinflammation and the microbiota might play a bigger role.
8:55
Yea but whenever i asked myself what i want it was just "nothing" or "death" and that's kinda boring 😂
Just boof it
How did I end up back on resident evil 4 !
6:10 yeah but what works for you might not work for others
Like i heard so many people say "i cured my depression with this or that, cut out sugar, yada" and i'm like been there done that thank you 😢
Try 5-htp mate. I was thinking the exact same thing until I realised that depression is also not helpful in the process of making those positive changes.
Chemicals can be helpful. Just some people think it's about the chemicals entirely and lose the progress in the magic bullet. It's better to introduce the drug, then immediately after introduce the positive reinforcement to the new habit you want them involved in. Then continually have affirmations regarding opposing ideals you want to emulate, and make them mantras you can sing to yourself without meaning while you meditate.... hear me out. Faith works wonders.
5-htp helped me so much. It released me. Very glad that a friend introduced me to it.
@@dustinemerzian59895-htp is a natural compound. It’s found in the extract of the plant Griffonia and can be bought legally as supplement online. All it is is a precursor to serotonin and it helps your body to produce serotonin more easily if your digestive system for some reason can’t produce enough serotonin. It’s not like a pharmaceutical or a drug, you don’t feel high from it.
I can recommend it from my own experience. It really helped me from those negative thought spirals and not being able to enjoy the moment which really wasn’t helping me with living a good life at all. Sometimes it really is just something with your body, or something your body learned and got used to but isn’t suiting you anymore. It’s not about numbing yourself or changing your character but I see it more like restoring the healthy balance of your body which it sometimes can’t do by itself.
Niceeeeee
try WFBPD?
💯💯💯
I like ur shirt tom
take magnessium supplements and vitamins
Our biology has a better understanding of my mental health than the science published.
100th like
Jesus healed my depression. He is the way, the truth and the life.
Delusions and the power of placebo. Nice.
So Why are U here?
Bro start making some positive content. This stuffs a drag 😂
This was pretty positive in a way. Do u just want people to do fake positivity or all rainbows? Life's rarely like that
@@simonsanchezkumrich8489facts there
