A Therapist's View of the Good Life 

okay bae

Yes, but actually no

The boulder will always be there. Life will take effort to improve until the end.

My brother in Christ, are you having a crisis every week??

@@scatty7761 not a serious one no. But life will always have problems

​@@scatty7761My brother in christ it's an achievement when I'm not in crisis

He saved me from off-ing myself last year, a true hero indeed I just binge his videos whenever I’m down !❤

Thing is that having that realization is only the first step to being

@@chalupapoopa1562and how can one come to that realization by themselves?

​@@war0nheavennobody can tell you that answer, that's the point

@wars6nheaven take shrooms, meditate, and heal from your traumas :) the healing is the most important

@@christophertaylorwebb9429 that sounds interesting, although i do plan on taking salvia some time in the future. i would rather not rely on substance to find an answer so to speak, as I do know where you're coming from and I've also looked into Jung and psychedelics but for the moment, I'll be fine. Thank you 🖤

Its cause we're human and we're talking about the human experience. Its natural for u to relate to this

In religion there's the theory of "what you need to hear when you need it most" which is why in my opinion it always seems to hit at exactly the right time. Could be collective consciousness', could be a God or many Gods, intuition or just plain chance, either way it made an impact and that's what matters

Great minds think alike, it's simple as that

They just are

Projection is where you blame others for the exact problem you have. What you are talking about is called "synchronicity" and there is a Yale psychiatrist who wrote a book called 'Meaningful Coincidences' that might interest you.

Into the Sisyphusverse

Would the plural of Sisyphus be Sisyphi?

They failed to push the boulder to the top...

Sometimes i feel like Life is Just wonderful sometimes im Just Meh and sometimes I Just think Its shit idk

Yeaaaah, like, how often should one feel “the good life?”

Godspeed, my friend

@@Makos93 same friend

That's nice to hear

gorgeous !

@@Max-gh6px Hehehe, the bit in the video about being more vulnerable to my emotions is spot-on, though. Just this one-word reply has me crying and giggling. Thanks very much. You're gorgeous, too.

what does it take to achieve this

@@mork8144 I don't know if I'm super qualified to talk about it, cos I've not achieved it perfectly, I'm only a little bit of the way there. Also, I live a very comfortable and privileged life - I'm unemployed, and I feel like I can only maintain this state so long as I stay irresponsible. But, that's part of it. Realising that I don't need to do anything, that even survival is just conditional on not wanting to die. It might seem self-destructive to try to erase my fear of death, but the less I fear it, the more in control I feel and the more I want to live. All need is conditional - the only thing that needs doing in order to make your own universe perfect is to feel content as you are. The other things are... loving my enemies (including my depression). Playing "Soup or Sandwich" with everything - or put a different way (but kinda the same way!), seeing that yin contains yang and vice versa - everything's the same, and also different. Seeing humour in everything. Trying not to make moral judgements, or at least being aware of when I do. Seeing wisdom even in things I previously thought were vapid... Think there were a couple more things but you get the gist. Also, bizarrely - finding JazzEmu on RU-vid, listening to the song "The Real Me", and feeling like I'd discovered a new religion. :D

@@moritz7299 Wrote another comment in reply to someone else, but I think the main thing that helped me feel this way (and bear in mind, it's only been a month or two, but that's still way longer than I've ever felt not-depressed in my adult life before), is just to practice gratitude. Think of all the things that depression has taught myself - empathy, insight, coping skills etc., and also that, like sleep, it's just a way to help me feel happier once I've rested. Suddenly depression no longer feels like a hole in which I'm trapped, and even in the few moments I do feel down, it's a much calmer, freer mood than when I was trying to repress it.

This is so much nonsense.

Fuck em

That's a precious feeling

I was this way too. The truth is, the only way to open a door is to reach out, grab the knob, and turn it. Say yes to chances to expand yourself beyond the box that contains you. Be open to thoughts and experiences you are afraid of. @@moritz7299

This sounds totally awesome! Good job!

Sonetimes he does
