    200.00 to 250.00$ a session, really ?? that's extortion! in Belgium (Europe, you know) if you pay €50.00 a session, it's already rather expensive. And no, that's not covered by our social security system, which mainly cares about physical issues.

    And love your channel. I did subscribe after the 1st of your videos I watched. At first, I did watch it as comedy but you do manage to bring great points about things a lot of people struggle with in such a great way I've only seen a very very few times. Absolutely great work!

    I completely agree with the pieces of advice! I was systematically abused from my child years until today and I guess I am having depression and anxiety altogather . I never though that feeling bad and disastified and low could be signs of depression, I have been feeling these constantly for years. I haven`t gotten healthy relationships, I was completely on my own with the whole world against me(including my family), all these started to affect my daily lifestyle, the relationship with myself, the one with whoever I meet, my study and work performance. I can`t do something I like and I can`t implement my real personality because the people in my life and the conditions I am in need me to act otherwise. I am tired and in pain to not be myself and be completely powerless. I can`t go to sleep and can`t wake up, I can`t eat, I can`t do anything because I don`t want to support another kind of life and personality except the one I truly am. I started a master now and I can`t carry one, I also need to work full time, I am not strong anymore, I am not a robot as I used to be. The master is my only chance to work and that way use my real capacities and follow my interests and by that having a better life. My family and me are poor. I have to find some ground alone, I never felt it, never felt emotionally and mentally safe as well. Every minute for me is danger, because something bad could happen and it has happened so many times. It`s something like e war zone. I just want someone understanding to hug me and tell me 'It`s going to be okay. You are doing a good job. It`s going to be different soon.' and juts stay with me. I don`t have friend near me. Luckily I already have ones, but they live far from me. I haven`t known healthy people before. I also am afraid I am utterly damaged and poisoned with fears and anxieties, very reasonable ones and people won`t want me in their life. Nobody has ever want me and kept me. I also can`t carry myself anymore and I can`t support a life different than the one I have in my heart. I need a practical advice of how to stop self-destructive habits – because just start eating healthy doesn`t help. I don`t eat at all.

    Boundaries and balance. Not perfection, but dogged work towards progress. This builds self awareness over time. The self awareness helps you define boundaries which will shift. It's the ride not the destination.

    Being simple comes with complications.

    Currently I asked myself why my mental health got worse again.. After seeing this I was like : Oh yeah I forgot my routines in the last 4 weeks

  31. @haileydurf1928 on

    POV: you find it RIDICULOUSLY hard to make habits and they almost always fail because you have adhd, and menstruate so you are on a lunar cycle not solar and therefore don’t now how to keep up the habits when you are on your period or jsut wheyour hormonesntotally sift week to week

  32. @kalinabozhkova5655 on

    Our world is bullshit! No matter how much we meditate and do all these things we will be unhealthy and unhappy because we live in a fake, stressful, garbage environment!
    The game is rigged my friends

  33. @fluffy312hd5 on

    people just need to advocae for themselves emotionally. they need to want a life with only thier opinon of their emotions and feel that no one can take it away. its difficult to realize that because it takes the actual reality of it and the mental process of something deeper.

    From my experiences problems with mental health are almost always related to toxins in the diet and your environment. And pharmaceuticals (more toxins) are just a temporary fix and lead to more and often worse long-term problems. The American diet and environment have gotten worse over time and physical activity has gone down with the advent of internet. At the same time access to better nutrition, environment, and the access to knowledge to use these things to your advantage has improved. Drugs and psychiatrist just treat symptoms when the root cause is diet environment and exercise.

    I have a hard time staying on a schedule. I will fall into a routine that lasts a week or two, but then I start on another routine. I have consumed large amounts of caffeine for almost fifty years. When I wake up I take two 200 mg caffeine pills. Then I boil a saucepan full green tea and swill that down. I'm also susceptible to sugar. I've been consuming a lot of that. I think I am basically sound, but if I don't change my ways I could be kind of feeble when I get older. I'm almost 65 now. I live in abject circumstances, at least by the outside world's standand's , but life isn't bad.

    My mental health illness is triggered when I look into the mirror, my thoughts spiraling about how ugly I feel about myself, and then I keep myself inside away from socializing with people. I’d love to be beautiful, but I’m not unfortunately. I feel what’s a big problem in this world is how people perceive beauty. And, compare myself and I don’t feel beautiful so I don’t go out and exercise or eat healthy and I’m dealing with depression which these things can cause heart disease later in life. I am told to just go outside and accept my face, but it’s not easy because usually someone who looks attractive tells me this, and it made me feel worse about myself.
