Opening Up About My Depression

- Back in the summer I was faced with a pretty harsh decision.
My fiance was planning on leaving me. The single most sobering awakening I have ever experienced in my life. My lack of communication and constant negativity had developed into self destructive patterns that ultimately lead to her wanting to step away.
I have since started therapy, and have been continuing self improvement to help myself, and to be the person she deserves.
Hearing that I am severely depressed by a licensed therapist really put a lot of things into perspective as to why I think the way I do. It's helped me figure out what the problem actually is, so I can correct it.
At the time I recorded this video, I was in the lowest spot I've ever been in. And posting this serves as a reminder to myself where I was, and where I'm at and continue to work towards.
Therapy can help if you let it.
The Oregon Coast has always been healing for me, too. I am just so proud of you. Just as someone who has been watching on the sidelines. You've overcome so much. Thank you for opening up. Normalizing getting help can help so many others make a positive impact in their life. Sharing the love ❤️
Thanks Selena❤️
What an admirable video to put out. Not an easy topic to discuss and you did a great job. You sure capture some amazing shots!
Appreciate it my dude❤️
Elias, I always thought of you as successful. You’ve achieved a lot from what I’ve seen since I was in WFH. Now that I’ve been out of WFH for 7 years, I haven’t stopped watching you. You’re an inspiration and multi-talented. You making a travel van properly equipped is honestly impressive as hell and not many people can do that nor have the patience. I may not fully understand what you’re going through but I’ve been going through much pain and hardship as well. This video was really nice to look at and hear your wisdom at the same time. Depression or feeling down is honestly the epitome of a human experience. Being human sucks ass bro. The goal isnt happiness necessarily. It’s about, growth and learning to be in the present moment and enjoying people and things the world offers before they fade away. Nothing lasts forever. Gratitude at the end of the day is the remedy to depression in my perspective. It can alleviate those feelings of darkness. Allow yourself to feel though. People always wanna run from it but I’d say allow it to come, process it, then continue on. You’re great Elias, keep up the great work.
Appreciate it Sean, I really do❤️
Hope you’re doing well man.
Much love, man. It’s hard to think that someone could watch this, and find nothing you’ve said applicable to their own lives. I just heard some words from you I needed to hear, and didn’t know it until I heard it.
You are a wonderful human. Keep that shit up.
I love you bro❤️
Thank you for this post man... your opness, vulnerability and your strength touches me deeply. I am on my own journey of healing as well... Sending love and light. & yes, let's move forward being kind to ourselves. Love from NYC!
Thanks for the words man🙏🏻
I wish you all the luck on your journey!
Found this channel while looking up Three Fingers Cabin but subbed for this right here. Keep traveling and upload as much as you can and I think you found your own personal “way out” …. Let’s go!
Really, rally appreciate that❤️🙏🏻
This is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing not only your talent, but also your heart, your vulnerability, your journey. Keep working hard and keep moving forward! Much love to you.
Thank you very much Anita🙏🏻
We love you and are glad you're at a point of finding this out and having hope. Praying you are continually encouraged and supported while you work hard through depression and its interference with your joy.
This is by far your best and most important video. Thank you for being so brave and honest. Your strength to share such an intimate part of yourself will no doubt help others suffering in the same way….and there are millions….I’m so glad we met for the few minutes we did. You are truly inspirational. I wish you continued success with your therapy….and continued joy and happiness wherever you find it.
Always appreciate the kind words Hilary🙏🏻
Was glad to meet you as well!
I'm glad you're finding your way through, sir. I often have to remind myself that "happiness" is not the destination but rather a pit stop that refuels us. I enjoy your videos as much as I enjoy your music, but I'm proud of you for this one. With depression, people often keep it quiet. To quote a mutual friend, keep it loud. It's how help finds you. Perhaps this message finds someone, too🤘
Thanks a lot Tyler❤️🙏🏻
I am the 10th to like your video. All the best.
🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
It is hard to put yourself out there like this but good for you. We all have our ups and downs that's just how life goes. I just started watching this channel a couple of months ago and I only have one more video to see then I'm up to speed. In that short time I have enjoyed your content and some of the shots you get are just spectacular. Also in this short time I like to think that I know you just a tiny bit because of what you share with your adventures. From what I see I think you are a really cool person. I think that now that you are getting some help you will start feeling better at some point and life will get a little easier. I'm not saying things will be perfect all of the time because they are not but you will learn new ways to deal with these situations. I am confident that you will find the right path for you!
Dang Thomas all of that really means a lot to me, it really does.
I appreciate the kind words and advice! And thank you for watching the channel:)
I’m always open to meeting new people so if you’re ever shooting in the PNW feel free to hmu if you’d like!🙏🏻🙏🏻
I would love for someone to teach me how to use my camera more for this type of photography. We live in the Medford Or area so I'm not that far away. Maybe someday we can get together.@@eliastcobb5506
