Where is your true power found to fight your depression and anxiety?
GET UP AND GET IT DONE!
Accountability Check / Meditation and Cold Training/ Fitness / Gratitude
I don't know who needs to hear this:
But depression, that sneaky thief that creeps into our lives, convincing us we have no say in how we feel or what we can achieve. It tries to strip away our choices, whispering that our goals are out of reach, drowning us in a sea of doubt and despair.
But here's the thing: it's crucial to hold ourselves accountable despite this relentless tug-of-war with depression. It's about acknowledging that while depression may cloud our vision, it doesn't define our capability to act. We have a choice-a choice to rise, take charge, and pursue our goals, despite the shadows cast by depression.
Accountability becomes our lifeline in this battle. It's that beacon of responsibility we hold onto when depression tries to convince us that we're powerless. It's about recognizing that even in our darkest moments, we can take small steps towards our aspirations.
By holding ourselves accountable, we refuse to surrender to the narrative that depression writes for us. We reclaim our power to choose our responses, our actions, and our path forward. It's not about ignoring the weight of depression; it's about not letting it dictate the trajectory of our lives.
It's about setting goals, creating routines, and taking intentional steps forward-even when it feels like the hardest thing to do. Because accountability is the antidote to the thief that is depression. It's a declaration that our goals, our dreams, our happiness-they're worth fighting for.

I am deeply sorry you are going through this. It hurts seeing someone who brings so much light into this work struggle in the darkness. Please, know you are not alone. You are loved and unique and very appreciated. Sending love, support, and a tight bear hug.

@skylachiaramitaro4006 8 месяцев назад

Going out is good for depression but can be bad for anxiety. Staying home is good for anxiety but bad for depression. What I have found helps me is to take at least one 15 minute walk going the same route. Even if it’s late in the evening. Sometimes going late can be better as there are usually less people around to feel anxious about. Sorry for the rambling.

@sevendegrees 8 месяцев назад

It’s partially because when we have these days, weeks, months - we cannot talk to anyone about it. We can’t call in sick (unacceptable) to employers, friends, and family. It’s debilitating.I love this video - it rings so true and I completely relate to it. I’ve been in a cycle of drinking then hating myself then quitting then drinking again. It’s all just so jumbled up in my head. I’m exhausted.

Many of us are walking a parallel path, I think. It helps to know there's someone walking with me who knows the way out, even if our paths never converge. You may not be able to see your own light right now, but we can, and it's a huge comfort. Bless you for sharing your journey. I hope the light is close.

@heatherhendrix-vg3lc 4 месяца назад

It is so hard to deal with Depression and even Anxiety. And a lot of the time the Anxiety comes from just the waiting for the criticism that you KNOW is going to come. And when it doesn't come externally, it will be there internally. Stay strong. This is a difficult space we are in.

Depression SUCKS!! Anxiety SUCKS!!! What makes it SUCK so damn hard is that it hits out of nowhere, for seemingly no reason and it never leaves!! My husband refers to it like the Kool-Aid Man about to burst through the door and start something. I've been suffering from both for a long time now and although I'm having better days, sometimes it hits full flippin' force and it's so damn hard. Thank you for being brave to share this with us and I really hope you feel better soon.

@stephaniebeauchamp2581 8 месяцев назад

You have used words you may not even remember saying to turn inwards and really focus on spiritual and shadow growth. It has helped me grow more in nearly two years than the other 44! I am so proud of you, and your raw truths you choose to share, inspire and become the therapy for another. Thank-you Stu, for being a friend and a light. Walking with you, through every season and emotion, one step at a time.

@PraiseJ-Pope 8 месяцев назад

This is so hard to watch because I'm also having "one of these days" for several weeks now. I'm that high functioning type of mental issues, I tear myself apart until nothing goes anymore even though I KNOW this is bad and will make recovery (the tiny one we get after fighting our way out of the valley of depression) harder. And seeing you on the edge of tears makes me tear up too, so maybe I will cry later for both of us.

@pamelahornick8108 8 месяцев назад

This exactly. I've even had family ask me what I have to be depressed about and that pisses me off because depression is a chemical imbalance in most cases. Edit: I had reached the place in my life where instead of just drinking when I was out with friends I thought I needed it to get through the day at work. At that point I said no I will not do this. Now if I can talk myself into/out of everything that I need to do/not do I would be even better. One step at a time. Love and light to you as you go through these struggles. 💖

@dramendiana373 8 месяцев назад

I can't help it but see so many aspects of me in you, in the beautiful, raw and unique way you're expressing them, that is, of course different from how I express them, but there they are, once I heard that to create something universal you have to use your authentic particular and unique subjective perspective, then others can connect with it, because deep down we share so much, more than we're aware. Sounds paradoxical, right? It gives me goosebumps. I feel you and I'd love to be able to give you a hug. Just that, a long, heartfelt, silent hug. 🫂 Keep taking care of your Being. ❤️

@camilladigoussar1641 22 часа назад

It's so peculiar how we think we know ourselves inside and outside until we hit that lowest low. It's in that moment we start seeing the paradox of being a tiny human and yet a powerful creature. I completely agree with you on the fact that we always have a choice, including the choice to be the victim or the victor. And truly, being able to record your journey - your racing thoughts and deep feelings - is one of the most valuable aspects of it. Thank you for this video. You showed the side of human that is very difficult to show, and yet so many of us can relate to it. Keep on going with your journey 🫶🫶

My heart squeezed when I saw you in so much pain...you, of all people deserve happiness, confidence and security. You are stronger than your mind is allowing you to believe! Even though you didn't want to, you DID get out of bed, you DID take a cold plunge and more importantly you DID allow yourself to be vulnerable, in one of your lowest moments, to make an advice vid to help others with anxiety and depression. You say you "quit everything" in your past but you have consistently made and posted vids of ABSOLUTE CREATIVITY and HUMOUR every single fucking day for years!! This is KING behaviour! Yes, you are unique, goofy and quirky (I wouldn't say 'cringey') and amazingly beautiful, body and soul! Don't ever let anyone take that away from you. If someone criticizes you for it, that's on THEM not YOU! You are doing all the right things to overcome, or at least live around your depression and anxiety. Can you reach out to family and friends? Right now maybe you're missing human touch (I know having Pip helps).. a sincere hug and a caring ear can be very reassuring and comforting . It's concerning that you're having 'dark thoughts', you have SO much talent and time to continue to reach for your goals. You have already achieved more in your 30 years than the majority have in their lifetime. And if you feel like crying, you fucking do that! It's the lack of serotonin NOT your lack of self control ..be kind to yourself and try to see yourself the way we all see you.. a DECENT human and MORE THAN ENOUGH! As always, Stuart, thank you for your affirmation and the accurate advice to mutually stressed/depressed/anxious people delivered in such a sincere manner - I needed to here it! I CARE and if I can HELP in any way please reach out! - respectfully - Carol Desjardins xo Reply

Prayers. I have struggled with depression and anxiety all of my life. Spent most of my 52 years in a bedroom in my dreamworld to escape. It got worse when the love of my life passed from cancer in 2016. I decided to quit drinking (6 months) and that has helped. I also started feeding my soul and that helps. I pray you find your bliss in the midst of the darkness. Us artists feel things so deeply.

I am currently getting out of bed about four hours after I wake up,sometimes five. I MAKE myself leave the house for at least a walk and MAKE myself run errands, though very late in the day. Depression sucks. I keep trying though. Some of mine is immune + hormonal. I also quit drinking (as a woman with two Irish grandmothers, I crave it..but I quit ) Keep on keeping on. Keep on keeping on. Keep on keeping on. Love yourself 🫶

My husband suffered depression for couple of years. Trigger was problems at work, that took serious impact on his life. He would sleep all day, so that day can pass faster. We would sometimes talk all night, whatever he wanted, just to make it easier for him. Till this day he thanks me for doing everything for him, just for being there for him. Sometimes he tells me that he doesn't understand why I stayed with him through all that. It was hard watching him falling apart and like you said he was feeling lonely all the time. You have strength and I believe in you. Keep your head up.

@CunningTraditions 8 месяцев назад

Ah Stuart. I feel this so much. It's strange when you feel the depression coming on. For me, i see the grey clouds on the horizon and there is nothing to do but wait for them to roll in. And then, all I can do is wait and hope that the storm passes quickly. Sometimes it does, most times it lingers. I identify with your 'tough love' self talk so much too. It's hard, but keep fighting bc you are doing the work and it will get better. And then worse and then better.... it's a sine wave. Ride the wave my dear Stuart. Surfs up.

@Gillybrand 8 месяцев назад

First of all, thank you so much for making this video despite your current mental state - it really is an inspiring testament to your resilience, perseverance, and determination to overcome your current struggles. As a mental health professional watching this, I would be loath not to say that anyone feeling as you do could benefit from therapy/counselling. Having a safe and non-judgmental space to constructively engage with depression etc. can make a huge difference, especially during times when we are struggling the most and feeling the most alone. As someone who has been where you are, who has also struggled with debilitating depression and anxiety, my heart feels for you and I sincerely wish you all the best getting through this 💜

Stuart you are amazingly strong. To be able to express your emotions and speak about your depression and anxiety shows just how strong you are. I suffer with anxiety and PTSD and it took me a long time to figure out how I could try to manage my anxiety, but eventually I've figured out what works for me, I still have my moments where things get way too much but everyone is different and unique and what works for one person may not work for the other, but just always remember you always have your family, friends and of course your followers who care about you, and only wish you well 😊

You are such a strong man Stuart, and I respect you for being authentic, open and honest about your struggles. I don’t know how many times I’ve stopped and told myself that depression won, and picked up a bottle, only for the morning to come and the feeling of being hungover comes and I want to scream. I can’t drink. Not even a little. The booze makes me worse, makes my anxiety way worse. I turn a corner that one day I may not come back from. I want to drink, I love to drink, but I choose not to drink. I choose not to let depression, anxiety and CPTSD ruin my life. I will rise above and be ok. Ok is good. I don’t need to climb mountains, even though I do on a daily basis, if that makes sense. We’re going to be ok. You’re going to be ok. All through this video you fought, and I could see a light in you that will never be dimmed. You are worthy Stuart! ❤

@andreakrause5960 3 месяца назад

I lost it all when you said "I ruin everything"... Because you're the opposite of destruction in my eyes. I think you're wonderful. Dear Stuart, I feel you. I really do. It's so hard to find words, comforting words to reach out for a wonderful human whose thoughts are in this dark place. Maybe we try so hard to reach out because every human is selfish. Every human wants to hold onto another one. Another person who obviously feels the same. But maybe you just need space, room to breathe... It's so hard to find the right words. Everything is so fragile and beautiful, made of glass and crystal. All I want to say is: Take your time. You're right, it's a journey, it's a process, a fight. But you are a warrior. You're a knight, you're an artist. And this will stay with you, because this is what you are. A true artist! There is light in your eyes even though you can't see the sun. There is hope in your smile even though you don't have a goal for the next day. But please listen: There is always a chance, there is always a path full of opportunities. It's hidden, sometimes it's impossible to walk on this path when you're feet are aching, your feet and your heart. But it's there and you'll find it, again and again. You're one of a kind. You're unique. And you're wonderful! Don't forget! Send you all my love and strength to Ireland! 🖤💜

It's ok to feel ALL that you feel, it is your feelings...and I can only speak for myself, but I made the choice to stay in my depression bc that was all I knew...it became my safety blanket, my comfort zone...and I will probably always feel my depression...but I don't use it as my safety blanket anymore...and it may not come out right...but your pod and your openess about mental health helped me see that I needed to challenge myself more and leave my comfort zone...so you may not like this post...but I just wanted to say thank you ❤

@brubarcels 8 месяцев назад

sometimes our own mind (something we can't choose to simply not live with) is the one who makes us feel the saddest. sometimes our mind can be our worst enemy. I hope you know that you are not alone. I hope you know that there are people in this world that you don't even know but they really like you. I hope you know that you can show off your muscles in the mirror or on a camera and being confident doesn't mean being narcissistic. I hope you find within yourself the happiness and love you need. being alone can be sad or liberating, it depends on how you know and talk to yourself in internal dialogue. (obviously in a more serious case like depression, professional monitoring and medication are also necessary, but obviously you know that) I'm glad you shared this part of yourself with us. not long ago I used to be confident and cheerful, and now I always think that I'm bothering people (like always) and everything I say is wrong. these are phases of our mind and we have to learn to deal with them. I hope you get well. you are truly an incredible person, and I'm not just saying this to try to make you happy kkkkkkk I genuinely think you are a great person. and obviously you deserve to be happy. you bring joy and peace to people, never think that you are not good enough. 🩷 I'm sorry for any mistakes in English, I've been trying to learn it for just under a year.

People say that youth is the time of carefreeness and joy of living. Mistake! Especially for a shy person like me, youth is not easy at all and depression is always around the corner. Today there is the possibility of receiving help even from a video like yours, which really moved me because you could be my son, when I was a girl there wasn't even the Internet and the only thing was to retreat into one's shell or pretend to feel good depending on the character one had. Thank you for your videos which are truly beautiful and, as we say in Italy, "with your heart in your hand."

This is so accurate. You are not alone and you are brave in sharing truth with others who have been hiding their own hardships. I wish I could just wrap my arms around you and let you rest in them. No expectations of anything simply a safe place where you can just be. Whatever you need to be in that moment. Tearful, hurt, pain filled, sad, angry, or just devoid of anything. You deserve to have that truly. You are wise. And you do know what you need to do but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. And yeah when it’s a BAD day or week it takes all you have to put a shirt on let alone do all the things to help the depression go away. Love you Stu. Truly over the years I’ve come to love the person you are, all of it. The good and the bad. You my friend are worthy of it and when you can’t see it, I’ll keep it seen for for you. ❤

@olegariocamara9308 8 месяцев назад

Sometimes depressions come with the conscious realization that you reached a point in life where a plan, a dream or the current status quo of life are no longer possible: - the death of a loved one - trapped in a unhappy marriage - old age and the loss of friends and family - trapped in a society that doesn't accept your sexuality Sometimes depression is chemical too: imbalance of certain essential elements Certainly we cannot simplify depression to a check list and therefore an easy recipe for the cure. But depression is much more serious than the common idea that depression is just someone who is constantly sad. I hope you stay healthy and happy.

How brave of you to open up this conversation even knowing that trying to explain it to someone that haven’t been there It's even more exhausting and that probably no words of support or rational explanation are going to make you feel better because it is a darkness that you must navigate on your own. Yes, you deserve to cry any time you need it, there's nothing wrong with that. You just need to keep breathing and someday will be gone, I promise.

Thank you for sharing this video and your vulnerability - your internal monologue sounds so eerily similar to mine and hearing those same messages coming from a mind outside of my own is helping me to connect with myself a bit more, particularly when I struggle with similar states of mental health. Seeing you process things in a similar way helps me to see that I'm on the right track. Ps. You ARE special 💪 and having the courage to share your more raw-emotional states is such a marvellous super power. 7 Billion people on the planet, but no one with your exact perspective.

I've been told that my hugs have healing properties cos I genuinely love. I will send you a healing magickal hug. Depression is a horrible mistress/ master. I've had depression since I was a child, I gave up on my education and now regret my choices yet I'm still making teh same mistakes now. I hear you Stuart. I feel you. I love you.

Thank you so much for being vulnerable with us. You are not alone in feeling this way; that's something I know for a fact. And I'm proud of you for acknowledging what's going on, and making the choices you need to help you get to a better place mentally. Those are hard choices to make, and it won't be easy . . . But consistently making those choices and acknowledgments will be so worth it. ❤️

Thank you for sharing this in such an open and vulnerable way. A lot of this resonated with me - it was like listening to my own inner dialogue at times...so thank you for making us feel less alone. Sending you love and light. ✨ Maybe you aren't 'special', but you are loved, and enough.

I want to thank you. Thank you for being so open and honest. Depression can only rob you of things if you allow it too and I sadly battle with it daily. So I can understand where you are coming from. Your words of wisdom from someone so young help this old dog realize that life is going to go on if I am depressed or not. It's much better for me to take my medication and heal than to hide from it and alow it to take over. Much love. ❤

I hear you, I've been there with severe anxiety and depression. Much love to you, Stuart, and I hope you find all the help and support you need to move through them.

I was just watching a video of yours from 2 years ago. Watching the difference between then and now. I didn't know you made this video u til just now. I saw the depression in a live I joined with you earlier this year. Watching how it has affected you over time, being online, able to go back and watch it. I just was trying to survive for years, and I see that in others, and you. I hide mine by choosing to keep moving forward now. I made the choice to be down for years. It's not feeling emotions like we should, but it is still moving. 💝

I’ve been through many depressive episodes in my life and am now permanently on medications for it. I am lucky I can afford therapy weekly. Getting out of bed is the biggest fight each day. Depression lies to you. You are not weird, you are worthy.

There are no words that haven't already been said. Thank you for your vulnerability. I'm so sorry to see you in so much pain when you are such a light to so many people. No one but you knows what goes on behind the camera but you, just know that you have the love, support, and encouragement from a stranger you've reached halfway around the world. You've got this! *big hugs*

So familiar… if I could just figure out a way to shield myself at work from all the cruel people I’m trying to help.

“Someone will probably love you for who you are. If not, you’ll still find friends, friends who, given time, or given warning, will probably gather around you, hold your hands, and wrap you in soft coats and blankets till the violence inside your body ends. “Someone will probably love you for who you are, not just for who you labor to be. Maybe you’re lost in your skin today. Maybe you’re burning and wish you could tear it all off. Please don’t. You are variously a marvel, an athlete, a wilderness, a source of warmth and a way to learn from fear. “When you have claws, your claws are yours, your ears bristle and are yours; your irises are citrine, pure, and yours. They let you see through smog and pine thickets and into the future, where you need no chains to feel secure, and someone will probably love you for who you are: “then you will know each other’s scents and nuzzle or lope together. But for now, you have friends, who are not going anywhere. Please stay here.” (Prayer for werewolves by Stephanie Burt)

Stewart, I am so sorry that you’re going through this I suffer from depression to one of the best things that I have noticed that really helps is the way I talk to myself talking to myself in a good way helps battle my depression you’re not alone, and so many of us see you❤

@lukekopesz9635 8 месяцев назад

For me, depression was intractable until I finally got on some more effective meds. Until then, the angel of death was hanging over me nonstop. Whatever it takes to feel better, I am willing to try. I just needed a psych Dr who was willing to keep trying things until something worked. I wish you peace, and a sweet life. ❤

Because of this video, I’ve started cold therapy. It honestly is amazing, sure my depression still is awful but that time in the cold is like a workout; it might be painful during but after you feel amazing. Thank you Stuart, these videos have been helping my depression so much.

@moniquehanson3239 3 месяца назад

Thank you so much for making this honest post and for helping to make depression something we can talk about more openly. It is so hard to find a place in this world. I just feel like I can’t even look at the big picture anymore, I’m just going from handhold to handhold
