Kicking depression in the arse - episode #7

alinamarin (62) · 8 years ago

Unfortunately my sound is down now, took a break for the weekend but I'm resteeming this so I would make sure I remember to watch it. Just a question:have you read Brene Brown books based on her many years of research on vulnerability and shame?

I haven't read much research on vulnerability. Most of my experience is practical; what I've done myself, and what I've learned through counsellors, psychotherapists and mental health professionals

I just cry whenever I feel like it which I feel all the time. When I feel angry I just try not to hurt myself. But depression must be treated medically.

I disagree. I've always felt there's two parts to depression. You can get medication but that only takes you so far. It's up to you to act on the rest :)

I had suffered depression, the clinical depression, it is different and requires a professional help @raymondspeaks it jst needs to be cured or the person could harm themselves.
Luckily I had it when I was very very young and do not know how to kill myself yet during those years until it passed after some years.

Oh totally agree. In my first video I said it's advisable to get networked in. I worked with a counsellor, a psychiatrist, a psychotherapist, and a team of people that had been in my shoes before. It's always good to get networked in to a support system! :)

if you do suffer from depression i have to recommend bananas --the potasium is very useful for brain balance

raymondspeaks (69) · 8 years ago

Not anymore. I rarely get depressed anymore. Medication to manage the dopamine and lots of activities to keep it at bay :)

I agree that letting our emotions be as they are is healthy. They dissolve on their own usually. It isn't healthy to dwell and cling to certain emotions, such as anger or resentment. Good video.

That's exactly the message I was trying to convey

being vulnerable is so hard for me. I know i need to do it more often and I know the people around me want me too. Gotta get it going.

Yup. You aren't perfect. Quit trying to act like you are. We break, we get ill, we do stupid stuff ALL the time. I have quite a shady past myself. Am I perfect? Nah :)
