How I Recovered From Depression (Again)

I've been depressed many times, but the most recent one (2015-2018) was the longest and the hardest. In this video, I think about some of the things that probably helped me recover. It's rambly and I keep saying "like" and "you know" etc, but hopefully something in this can help someone somewhere, and maybe also myself in a few years time when I inevitably get depressed again and start wondering how I ever pulled myself out of this in the past. Hello future me, just do your best to hang in there!
Mentioned in the video:

projects and pets help, I got a bird, he so cute,

@DestroyerMariko 5 лет назад

Yeah, my dog helps me a lot too! ^_^ I've never had a pet bird though. We used to get visited by a very chatty one, but he didn't stay long. What kind of bird and what's his name?

@genes5004 5 лет назад

DestroyerMariko he’s a blue parakeet I named him Jack, I thought about getting a buddy for him but they are more attached with owners and communicate better when alone

exercise is fun and helped me a bit, rock climbing was really fun and never felt like exercise. it was just like, hey there's a fuck tall wall, imma climb it. then repel back down and climb it again but better. after six months it's like hey i'm one of those skinny bitches with abs, neat....imma go climb a wall now. fuck medication, i was on effexoral 75 mg and it fucked up my jaw something fierce. anyways considering how much your videos involve mental health i thought i'd ask if you would ever get into counselling?

I enjoy the wild ropes course at Taronga Zoo, it's like what you say about rock climbing, doesn't feel like exercise... only problem is it's suuuuper expensive! Great views of Sydney though. Medication works for some people, but it can be hard to find the right one. I think they're working on some kind of blood test to help figure it all out but I haven't heard of any breakthroughs yet. Nah counselling's not for me. I can talk about my own experiences fine, but I'm not so good when someone else's emotions are right in my face... D:
