I'm quite happy and am feeling a lot better than I was before - thanks for the video. I think portraying it as 'do this to maximise sadness' rather than 'don't do this to be happy' makes the message a lot more palatable and lets it sink in easier

Some more pointers: true misery doesn’t come from constantly torturing yourself. Your brain will adapt to anything as long as it’s consistent. Feed it just enough hope to have its longings crushed every so often and you’ll never feel a moment’s reprieve.

I do this a lot. I mean a LOT. Like A. LOT. It tortures me day and night now that I'm 32 that all the fun is gone from life and it won't ever be as great as I remember in my 20's. Well there's possibly 60 more years of this to go, pal. It's gonna be a long ride in the car if you keep up the "I'm not touching you" game for most of it.

@emersonpropst2886 3 года назад

To really maximize this effect, look for the moments that took you from that happier time to the present, and then spend a great deal of time focusing on how you could change those if you could only go back in time to change them.

Made this for myself, and thought to share: 1. Go outside, get moving, don't lock yourself up. 2. Fix your sleep schedule, get proper sleep. 3. Reduce your screen time. 4. Don't fret over irrelevant topics and things that you can't control. If you want to do something, do it. 5. Set a clear and achievable goal. Make small consistent goals. 6. Don't search for your idea of happiness, just do what makes you happy. 7. Think things through, weigh and understand the consequences/results of your action.

@TheGingey 7 лет назад

Matthew Taylor both paying and not paying rent have advantages. Depending how much you pay you can be left with very little money so you are unable to do anything, plus work can leave you exhausted so you won't do anything anyway. Not paying rent leaves you without a weekly goal "make this much money", it doesn't force you to get a job which is a distraction and most of the time provides human interaction, you are also not paying for your own basic needs which can make you feel worthless.

I think this is far more effective than any motivational video about success. No one wants to change up their lifestyle if what they have going for them is working. No, you may not be happy with how you are living, but you aren't dead and it could be worse. A lot of the time motivational videos talk about what actions you *can* take in order to improve your life, but not what actions you should quit doing.

i did all al those things while i have clinically diagnosed with depression but on the other hand, i was also suffering from the guilt of doing those things cause i had goals that i wanted to achieve. so yeah, if you want to feel more miserable, have actual goals and never make them and instead, do as this video says...

@brittaperry7994 Год назад

@@sasin2715 for me, no. it was only "i don't want to do anything." even the things that used to make me happy. my situation was kind of different, i presume. but i think everyone has experienced postponing without any mental illnesses, as you say, "i'll do it later."

@Light_Mode227 Год назад

@@sasin2715 From the perspective of someone who has never been depressed that may be what people think but as someone who has experienced it, it is quite different. Depression isn't about putting of goals and stuff it just means that you struggle to find the will power to do things that can be really simple such as getting out of bed, making a meal (i often missed breakfast while depressed) and you have just a constant lack of energy. It is hard to get out of depression but you just gotta hold on.

@mom5catskyle596 Год назад

When you are old and disabled, all your close family is dead, all your friends moved away years ago, you live in a town so small that it only has one small grocery store and literally nothing to do, and you can't afford to hire a stranger to drive you an hour to the nearest town and wait around while you shop or see a movie, or whatever, then drive you an hour back - what do you do? Because of my lack of vision, I don't dare take the chance of driving more than the 3 miles to the grocery store once a week- and nobody there ever wants to take the time to chat with a stranger. The two friends I have left living in other states have their own health problems and don't feel like taking on the phone more than a few minutes maybe once a week or so. My physical limitations prevent me from doing a lot of things but I do what housework I can in order to get some exercise every couple of days. Otherwise I stay on my phone in order to get mental stimulation and not think about how depressed I am. You make it sound like everyone intentionally makes themselves miserable and don't take into account that a lot of us are victims of circumstances we either can't afford to change or are not physically able to change.

I don’t know how to set SMART goals because for my entire life, I have only ever set VAPID ones. The only reason anything ever got done was because people told me what to do. I try to sleep and wake consistently but I cannot. If I am not tired, I cannot sleep no matter how hard I try because my mind does not shut up (thanks ADHD). This video is depressing for me because it paints the image that I cannot change the course, no matter how much I wish I could. I am stuck in a whirlpool that is dragging me down.
