Depression and Hikikomori : How to deal with depression? 

Thank you, Hiroshi. You are special and amazing

I think they're extremely shy and sensitive.

Thank you for these great suggestions!

I had been depression for 20 years, my thoughts and mind are chaotic.

It's nice you got better enough to make a video, Hiro! Another tip I think is useful is to reach out and talk about your condition with other people, even if it's online. The feeling of isolation makes depression even worse. Thanks for the video!

Thank you for your courage to share your experience of being Hikikomori. Your video will help many people who are suffering from this condition. Moreover, it will also help their family members to understand them better and it also help society to understand them better. I want to let you know that your courage will help many. I wish you best of luck for your journey. Thank you and good luck!

In thinking about the viciously cyclical nature of depression, it seems the way to break that cycle is the action of a motivation outside that cycle. I'm glad you have your motivation and are persevering :)

Thanks for sharing this with us. I have struggled with depression as well at times and I think your advice will help some of your viewers who are feeling the same way. Like you mentioned in point 3, sometimes I think of it like a bad flu - it feels terrible but I know I can’t do much other than try to take care of myself and wait for it to pass. I hope you begin to feel better soon… maybe making this video has helped you as well.

Good advice. Pls make more videos on this important subject.

I’m learning Japanese and English with your videos, I’m from Mexico. You’re a wonderful person

I think this topic is very important. Thank you Hiroshi for sharing your experience and help others! You are awesome! :)

I'm so glad I came across your channel. I am not a hikikomori, but these people are very interesting and close to me. Hello from Russia :)

Your strong Hiroshi never forget that and we all proud at you my friend.

Hi there, haven't visited your channel for about 10 months, glad to see you being more positive than before, and you seems like you gained confidence 🙏🏻😀

I agree Hiroshi, that staying active helps to prevent the mind from cycling downwards into that familiar cycle of depression or low moods - self hatred, blame, shame, etc. I like travelling and hiking. Walking, even when I don't feel like it, and hiking, until I'm so tired I can't think anymore... ;) That works! But, in the depth of my depresson I couldn't do it. I had to go through the depression, and it wasn't until I was older and stronger that I found a way of really banishing it for good. That was literally deciding NOT to give into the negative emotions anymore. I told myself very strongly (with conviction) that I DID NOT want to feel this way anymore. (Suffering because of my OWN mind is crazy and self inflicted. And I vowed to myself to take control of these thoughts and to start being nice to myself!) (Just like quitting smoking - sometimes I slip back into negativity, beacuse I'm addicted to these thoughts... I guess when you've thought them your entire life the neural pathways are strong. But they CAN be overcome!) If they arise, and I feel the negative self-talk slipping in, I ask myself if this thought is in my best interest. (It never is). Then I say aloud, "I'm not going to suffer because of my own (negative) mind. I REFUSE to suffer because of my own negaive mind! I am in control of my thoughts and and I will not go there anymore!" Then, I say a prayer. I ask a loving deity like Krshna or Christ or Kwan Yin or God - literally asking the loving being (out loud) to be with me, to aid me, to help me in overcoming these negative emotions. Tell the being that you wish to receive their help in receiving peace and calm thoughts. Asking aloud for help was the best thing I did, and helped me long term. (I literally felt Jesus's love for 3 days after this, and I was an atheist! It really helped me alot.) Please try it next time you feel low, Hiroshi! I'm now much stronger at defeating the spiral of thoughts. So much so, that they hardly pop up at all now, and if they do, I can BANISH them, all because I decided to take control of my mind - which after all should be a tool that helps us, not hinder us. Have an awesome day Hiroshi!

Yes, you are correct about the cycle of depression. I have experience this in the past. I have learned tools to keep it at baye. I hope you will become active again and take your fans to the beautiful places you have shown us before🤗🤗🤗🤗. As always Plz stay safe and healthy 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

hello another hikikomori here

Thank you Hiroshi upload more videos and what kind of work do you do for living 💚

This is a hard one but after years of struggle one eventually finds a way of managing it and it is a learning experience that so many others wouldn't hold a candle to. What gets me is the pain factor coupled with not belonging to this world while being surrounded by people who are to current society like ducks are to water with little to no effort being able to go through everything that life throws at them without as much as thinking about it.

Nice story Hiroshi!!!!

Ava will you stay here

Do you know captain. isao yamazoe? He is the hero in the philippines.

Hikikomori and other sensitive people can benefit from everything that helps them "grounding" because they're Light beings. Walking, exercise (it can be anything you like: fitness, sport, yoga etc.), you can never go wrong with those. Meditation can help a lot too because by meditating you're just Being, you're not running away from yourself anymore. Depression is also a reaction of your body to release traumas and sometimes even "soul healing". The human body is made to heal itself from any trauma. This is what emotions are all about. The body telling you to relax and accept where you are right now. Hiroshi and everyone who reads this, I just want to tell you: You are enough and I send you my blessings 🙏 ❤️ 🌍

Is the Ego of the Hikikomori who is depressed for not fitting in the society. The key to overcome depression once for all is practice meditation and spiritual enlightenment. No more negative thoughts.

Hi,Hiroshi. I am curious to know what kind of exercise you do if you do not mind me asking.

🥰💕💟

Medication for depression has personally never helped me either and I believe these types of medications are actually bad for me. Some things that have helped me feel better though are becoming vegetarian (I don’t eat meats and limit my dairy consumption) and minimalism (letting go of excessive possessions). I hope you get back to feeling good again soon Hiroshi!

I wanna die
