What's yours (or anyone else's!) work out routine? As in what sort of exercise do you do? I want to work out but I just can't find anything that suits me
That's a great question! I think it took me a while to find something that I didn't hate doing lol. For me, the routine that's helped me the most (physically, mentally) has been the 12-3-30 which is a high intensity cardio workout. I watch youtube videos/ Korean dramas while doing it. I personally hate running so its been a good way to get cardio in and have some "fun" with it. After the 30 minutes, I usually do some light full body workouts I found on Instagram from fitness instructors!
thank you so much for this! i feel like it's even harder to get yourself to do things you know are good for you when you're feeling low, because finding the energy & motivation to even get out of bed feels impossible. i've been dealing with depression on & off for a while and i was desperate to do something that would make me truly get better on my own, so i'm very grateful for this video & i'm glad to hear that you're feeling better as well <3
I'm so glad that you found it helpful! I feel you, it is so hard to find that energy and motivation. I hope you can give yourself some grace as you navigate those low days. Sending love and light!
I often create unrealistic expectations for myself too and then berate myself when I don't fulfill them. There is no need for that second arrow of suffering! Anyway, thank you so much for the helpful video, Yeonni!! :3 I'm glad you are feeling better <3
I am graduating with my BSW and I start my MSW program in January. I am starting my SWK490 internship with CPS in August and graduate in December. Any helpful advice for me?? I'd really appreciate some perspective! I don't have social work friends or colleagues to turn to.
I tried to talk to a family member about my depression and they told me its not their responsibility. I don't think I'm ever going to talk to that person again. That interaction almost caused me to hang myself that day
recently got my first job as a social work. gods is it heavy and the days are not the same. it can be days you wish you chose a different job when the patients wont listen and it is just chaos. Then there are other days where you meet them and you have the most wonderful day with them with laughter and the feeling of not being on the job but rather being a friend is huge. Being a social worker is heavy and you need to be prepared but getting those wonderful days? Worth everything and makes my week.
Im so fucking OUHGHHH my friend who I was obsessed with blocked me months ago and I still obsessively check his account to make sure he's okay and it's fucking creepy and gross and I hate the compulsion so much.
I hate it so much. This feeling stressed me out so much that I literally dropped out of school to avoid him, so I don't seem creepy, and yet I still check on him, and I feel like such a stalker
I'm a Canadian social worker - have followed you for about 5 years. One of my favorite videos was 'the truth about social work and social workers'. At the end of that video, you said that you'd want to be able to look back on your career in your old age and feel proud of the work you did in your 20s, and that really resonated with me. Wishing you success and continued growth on your PhD journey, navigating this new chapter of your life and reclaiming your inherent self-worth and self love.
I totally relate…as a therapist who left an abusive marriage and moved states before finishing my full license, I STRUGGLED mentally, emotionally and financially for a long time. I’m just now leaving survival mode (divorce finalized in Feb) and crawling out of a dark place. Here’s to all the therapists showing up and sitting in others’ pain while experiencing the darkest times of their own lives. You’re doing amazing!
Psychiatrists need to evaluate these comments to offer free help services 🤷🏿♀️ nobody wants to be on the receiving end of obsession. Seek God & stop ruining lives just because you don’t have one
I'm gonna tell my doctor that I think it's time I seek a therapist. My OCD has been really overwheIming me lately. But first, can I ask a therapeutic question to you, to tie me over before the mysterious future of my therapy?
First, great advice! Second, I have a TBI, and can’t pay attention when watching a video very well, so I try to read the transcript very slowly, with breaks, but omg!!! What is up with the transcript??? It’s all over the place, with dragons, other languages, and just bizarre random stuff that make zero sense 🥴 I’m even more confused now. This is the first time that has happened. Anyone have any idea what is up with that??
I've watched your videos for years! Happy to report that I have just finished my first year of clinical psychology phd program, thanks for all the inspiration
finding light in darkness. this is inspiring, thank you for your input. I'm in social work school, too, but in Sweden. It's very fulfilling to get to cooperate and interact with people in making the world a better place <3
#1 important is Don’t judge them based on your experience or where you are in your life….don’t act like someone suffering should be able to pull themselves out….they will have good days & bad days….PLEASE KNOW & REMEMBER THEY DON’T WANT TO BE DEPRESSED…THEY WANT TO BE HAPPY AGAIN….They are down on themselves enough & already have shame & guilt for feeling depressed bc it also affects their loved ones & household & they know it……
