I appreciate very much that husband who works from home and gets so much time alone that I also need it as well. Nearly every weekend I will go grocery shopping alone and it’s such a nice quiet time ❤
Completely reckon with the things you talk about in this entire video! I too obviously love spending time with other people but also always being concious in your brain about how they are feeling and wanting to have a good time. I like my alonetime because I can process and resettle and I never really feel lonely while alone. Therefor also love taking myself out on 'dates' (which could be a walk in the forrest with a coffee, really). I am diagnosed with ADD too; do you think this might have to do with this? Ps: Sydney is soooo beautiful! <3 Thanks again for showing us arround
Hello, I am in Sydney right now with a work and holiday visa! do you guys have things you can recommend I should do? or places I can go to? also if anyone knows where I can find a job that'd be awesome!
Making peace with the fact that much of my happiness tends to be fleeting, has made me hold that happiness I feel closer to me. In a way, knowing that I am depressed and it’s all fine if I am, makes me almost feel a bigger level of happiness in parts of my life, because I know it’s not from anything in particular, it’s just from my brain chemistry and nothing is wrong with that. What a good reflection you shared, thank you
When at the beginning you said ‘i don’t know where im going but i have a lot of work to do’ i thought you were talking about life direction and i thought SAME sister x but then it was just a cafe 😂
That part about really needing alone time while still loving spending time with your loved ones really resonated with me. I adore the people in my life but man I get the need to run out when not having some truly alone hours a couple of times each week
It’s been so helpful for me to have both a personal and a public writing practice and allow the voices to be intertwined but distinct. For journaling it’s also helped to write quickly, just to let things flow with as little thinking as possible hehe ❤
Nina i can relate being an introvert who loves to be on my own,give me a book,something warm to drink or iced if its summer,a nice place and i am happy being alone... I am one of those people who go to the movies alone,heaven to look at something without feeling that i have to adjust to others. .. Bookstores and libraries is my happy place and your vlogs,you inspire me a lot just by being you!!!! Warm hugs coming your way💖🫂☕🫖🥧🍵🕯📓🖋📚
Hi! Would loooove to see a video on your creative life if it's not to private --maybe like how to cultivate it into your routine. I've been contemplating for months without steps forward not knowing how to work it into my routine
Thank you for another wonderful vlog! What better ad for skillshare that you telling us you learned to edit videos using it, and then making an amazingly beautiful video 🥲 Your perspective on mental health is so refreshing and inspiring, as always 🫶
I like to think my happiness is just accepting. Eso me hace sentir más tranquila y para mi ansiedad es más importante estar tranquila que estar en un estado de felicidad 💛
I appreciate your perspective on depression/mental illness. I have also realized I won’t get “better” per se, but I can get better at navigating the ebbs and flows. I can get better about caring for myself and others, weathering the storms and noticing and relishing the joys when they arise. I can let it come and go, and stop feeling so broken/responsible. I see my depression as similar to periods - I feel good some days, I feel bad others but I always move through it. ❤❤❤
en el libro Los límites de mi lenguaje: meditaciones sobre la depresión plantea una idea similar a la tuya: aceptar que la depresión llegará y aprender a vivir con ello, a sobrellevarlo y no a luchar en su contra. a no organizar tu vida alrededor del objetivo de ser feliz, sino ser productiva, satisfecha en la medida en la que puedas y estar en paz. para mi, que aunque nunca he sido diagnosticada con depresión, paso largos periodos de tiempo todos los años siendo incapaz de sentir felicidad, me sirvió para aceptar que no tenía por qué seguir en pie de guerra todo el tiempo, que si venían días grises con total seguridad también se irían.
Thnak you for talking about being happy or perhaps never being happy for a longer time... I am still struggling with this concept so it helps to help others talk about it. Also, you live in such a beautiful place; I feel like I am on an adventure discovering all these beautiful nature, coffeeshops, parks, streets in Sydney <3
What you said about depression and happiness really resonated...as someone who has had depression on and off my whole life I decided in my late thirties that I was done waiting for happiness to come and stay...I was exhausted of fixing myself. I decided to let that go and it really felt freeing. I now reach for joy instead and even on a hard day I find joy to be more within reach, it is fleeting but so are most things in life, and life itself is fleeting. I wish you joy ❤
Totally resonate with this and what you shared Nina!! Your videos are a source of joy for me.:.definitely a call to see the beauty in the world even in small ways
Nina, that’s a beautiful video and a beautiful reflection. I felt I needed to hear it to understand better someone I met recently. Thank you for sharing ❤ also, Brazilian subscriber here and very nice to see you reading Clarice Lispector ☺️
I've had a similar journey in my experience with chronic illness (a rare blood and immune disorder) - for so long, I felt like it was something to "beat" and that as long as it was still plaguing me, I could never arrive to my life or myself. But as i've gotten older, I am learning how to accept that this is a part of me forever - it will ebb and flow and I can do everything in my power (taking my meds, trying new treatments, monitoring blood work, etc.) but desperately and fruitlessly trying to separate myself from my chronic illness will only leave me feeling fragmented and like I will never accept myself as I am. It's a work in progress! <3
This is exactly how I feel. You have worded it so well 🧡 thank you, thank you. Sending you a huge hug and I hope you’re having a nice start to the week ✨
Dear Nina, Just a little comment to say that your videos are one of my precious safe place in this world. Thank you so much for being there sharing your creativity, your thoughts and your love. thank you for being you. Assma.
watching your videos gives me the sense that we see the world very similarly- the clips of your adventures paired with the guitar playing was really beautiful. take care!
Everyone’s experience is so so different, and some people may not ever “get over” their depression. The idea that mental health can always be fully “cured” can be harmful, especially living in the world we do where so many things are so broken, and out of our control, yet they affect every aspect of our lives. Just adding my opinion to the mix
No i had a lot of experience with mental health, and yas i agree anyone is different but mybe we need a different therapy model, medicaton, lifestyle changes, ketamine/spiritual stuff and so on
@@anaarh4390 there is no therapy model that will reverse capitalism, and the things we have to endure while living under a system as broken and harmful as this. Especially taking into consideration barriers that come with even getting therapy in the first place. Of course there are things to help us begin to understand and unpack, but again, the results will look different for everyone.
You escape a bit of this capitalism worrld by creating your inner world a brighter place, its hard and not for anyone but she is not detrminated by todays depresion
