      I feel the same- I couldn’t concentrate at all during a bad depressive episode and meditation didn’t help then, but once it had lessened a bit and I had some breathing room, I found this really helpful in easing myself back into a better mindset. Good luck to you out there, we can get through this ❤️❤️❤️

      It is the toughest thing a human can go through. Through your pain, you will only grow resilience - a positive of the pain. Remember to try to compartmentalise certain situations or things that make you feel so depressed. Acknowledge them, put them in a box, don’t ignore them, just say ‘I will deal with these things at a later date. Hopefully this will allow you to get on with your day in a somewhat more pleasant state of mind. Love to all who suffer this horrible disease, we can get through it

    If you are reading this, just know the bad times will pass. I’ve been going through depression episodes for a few years now, and nothing has made me feel better as quickly as meditation. I know it’s hard to focus when going through times like this, but everytime you start to think about or feel pain, recognize it, and let it out with your next breath.

    I never understood what depression was and how it could truly affect someone’s mental state until I started to go through it. Even focusing on this video alone was hard because my mind was racing. I’m always tired even after getting enough sleep, my grades are dropping, and I don’t even have any energy to do the things that I love anymore. I’ve been so tied to my bed and constantly cancel on plans. However through it all I still have a little hope that things will get better if I reach out more to get better. If your reading this and you have felt or are currently feeling like this I want you to keep trying because even though you may not see any hope now trust me in the end there will be that light at the end and ur not alone.

      Sure, but when you're "doing nothing", you're probably not actually "doing nothing". Like he says in the meditation, depression is exhausting and really robs us of our energy. You're not "doing nothing." You're resting and healing. Be kind to yourself.

    The influx of cortisol triggered by depression also causes the amygdala to enlarge. This is a part of the brain associated with emotional responses. When it becomes larger and more active, it causes sleep disturbances, changes in activity levels, and changes in other hormones.👍

I’ve never felt such a release in my life… it felt like so much negative energy was flushed out of me in those tears. And then I started laughing…. I was completely overwhelmed with hope and joy….

      I think "This will pass" part is true. It can take so long that you might think you'll never laugh again. But someday somehow it will pass. It can't go like this forever. About the "you are not alone" part. We should be realistic. Yes, you may not have friends or a supportive family. And people don't change very easily. But who knows, maybe you'll meet someone soon and she/he can bring a little light to your world. Try to stay strong and I know it's hard but please don't lose hope. There will be better days for sure, trust me. ♡

    My depression has been ongoing for 2+ years because I haven’t been able to get health insurance yet, but I am starting to see the end and getting insurance next month. This video was helpful. I hope all you who feel like I do see the end to it as well. Between the suicide prevention counselors and things like this I’m still here.

    I’ve been going through some depression lately. And I’ve found that doing these meditations help soooo much! Every time the meditations finished, and I see the green screen at the end, I feel as happy as ever. Like I have a fore's field of happiness around me. Thank you for making this meditation. It helped me and prevented me from harming or harming other people from my sadness!

    The only thing that kept me from breaking down today was that i bought a homeless guy who was eating on the sidewalk a waterbottle. He reached out his hand because he could barely speak and shook my hand. Poor fella. Hope you all are okay, here from jersey.

    This video had me crying I have been going through so much it was time to be compassionate with myself. Some of the things are not my fault and hopefully I am meant for greater things. I lost my job after I had a accident and I am still recovering. All of my goals had to be set to the side and also my life its hard to have severe anxiety and depression. This audio helped so much. This darkness will pass.

    Meditation only started working for me when I hit rock bottom and got sick of what depression had done to my life, but from the comments it seems that a lot of people here didn't have to reach that point before trying to improve themselves. From the bottom of my heart, I wish you all happiness.

  • @littleblueclovers
    @littleblueclovers Před 2 lety +1

    I had to stop halfway because I suddenly felt scared that by “washing away” my depression I was simply delaying the inevitable. That it would come back and all I’ve done is put a blanket on top of it.
    Logically I know that feeling calm and at peace wouldn’t invalidate my pain. Just because I feel better now doesn’t mean I didn’t suffer… But the fear is still there.
    But I also left it running in the background and the calming music and voice helped me a little bit. Thank you.

  • @medeea7265

    i thought i was doing fine…at least much better than before, trying to work on myself and forgive myself, but today was just a really emotional day, i cried for hours even though i tried to calm down my tears just couldn’t stop…
    During this meditation i tried to hold back my tears and clear my mind but even without realising i was already crying again…and when i heard the words “you are not alone” i felt comforted. Its been a while since i heard those words.
    Thank you for this video 🫶

    I had never been a meditating person. But few days I've tried these videos. And I have experienced something out of this world. It's like during meditation I go into this sort of peaceful place that I do not have to forcefully imagine. It just comes right up. It's like a green place with morning mist or a place in comfy home where there is breeze and in that moment I'm fully aware of my surroundings also and I'm there also. It's like I'm not distracted but I'm also in a place full of peace. It's surely a different experience which I cannot describe but it's true that in that moment I can feel each and every part of my body and my mind is just fresh as a daisy. No wonder people talk about meditation so much!

    • @pannkakan1986
      @pannkakan1986 Před 2 lety +2

      The good thing is that regular meditation can actually bring this sense of peace into your life when youre not meditating. It takes time though as the connections in your brain strengthens after each session but trust the process and eventually your "waking life" will be almost as peaceful as when youre meditating.
      (Im not a professional/expert in this subject but have done alot of research on this topic. It would take 10 hours to explain everything but that^ is a summary of a particular effect of daily meditation)

    Thank you for this meditation, i struggled with depression for a long time, I recently had a relapse in depression since i stopped my antidepressants 2 and a half months ago. i restarted it and it's been about 3 weeks now. I do feel more concentration but still feel very depressed. This really helped. Depression feels so isolating, like i'm the only one in the world that feels like this. desperate, painful to be awake and know that you can't snap your fingers and it's gone. I am however hopeful that this will get better it did before and i lived thru it.

    I've been listening to this channel's different kind of meditations. Right now,I could tell that they really take into consideration every meditation they will make. In other meditation videos they have many words in the middle of the meditation to guide us,but in this video about depression they just guide us ,not much words because I think they knew that every single one of us have a lot of words and situation in our heads and they walk us to be patient with us by saying less words.
