My Journey Beating Depression, Anxiety, and Low Self Esteem

Published 2020-05-20
This video shares my experiences living with mental health illness specifically depression, anxiety and low self esteem and how I defeated it. I kept my thought records from all those years ago and share some of them in this video as well as the type of thoughts I had at the time.

You are amazing, you can and will beat this illness trust me ❤️

P.s sorry about the tears!!

    Respect for posting this dude. Lots of people deal with this struggle but don't talk about it. Hopefully your video will inspire people to get the help they need.
  • I have came here because I'm really struggling right now , when you cried j cried only because you are giving a really good insight into this condition , and when you talk about something that has effected you it's natural for it to bring up emotions. I find I can't talk to my sons as j don't want to burden them

    Crazy, running my darkest days lately, been clinging to boxing the last few months, never expected to run into this video while looking for MK 1 glove reviews. Just wow. Peace and Blessings all the way from Baltimore, Md

    Brave post. Respect. There are so many like you out there, we need to hear each other’s experience! Take care brother
  • Literally cried with you I totally understand how painful this illness really is I have to fight everyday just feel normal ;(

    I feel like I’m really stuck in it right now and I’ve been looking for videos like this, not necessarily for advice but just to know what other people’s experiences are so that I have people to relate to. The way you articulated your struggle with depression felt so honest and real and I’m so glad that this video exists so that I can feel less alone. I can’t even fathom getting out of this, and I’m at a point where it’s really hard to even believe it for myself, but seeing clearly that someone else who was in much the same predicament I am in, and who was so clear and open about their experience has gotten through it, does give me a shred of hope for myself that some day I might get out of this hole I’m in. Thank you so much for making me and many others feel less alone.
  • All the respect to you. I go back to this vid everytime I feel like I hit rock bottom
  • amazing and well done sir for being so open - we need more people like you
  • Thank you , I currently have tears in my eyes as I write this comment. My son has all of these signs and is getting the help he needs . Your journey is my sons current journey and we just finished all watching your video which has given us hope, thank you for sharing your story .

    Your video has hit me harder than anything else I’ve watched/read. I needed those tears man. I cried with ya, so many times. I feel that pain you were going through. Seein you think of that, how it hurts to even think about, and seeing that you’ve made it out is the greatest evidence that there’s some hope. I can’t thank you enough brother.
  • I agree 100% about the Stigma around mental health. Look at you, You're Gorgeous. I had a Wonderful Mother who taught me to Think Positive. I had such negative thoughts.. I wrote super faint in pencil on the wall while I slept my life away.."Think Positive" It's easy for a person to think negative... how hard it is to think Positive and turn it around. It takes work but it can be done. Exercise, Good Music and Humor are my go to's. Good Luck to Everyone <3

    Glad you are better now. Here I am, 32yo, still a student, no job, anxious, no confidence, low self esteem, struggling, despair. I don't know how hard I should be on myself, if it's just not enough what I'm doing.
  • Great video! One thing I would like to add though: stay away from "Psychiatrists". At least in the USA, all these MD's want to do is throw medications at you. Meds that will mask whatever's going on. I'd strongly urge people with depression or anxiety or anything to first go see a mental health counselor, / mental health therapist. There are so many ways to combat depression/ anxiety including lifestyle changes and cognitive behavioral therapy, and more.

    Brilliant video mate I can relate to alot of this and I'm lucky to have come out of it and I'm glad you have too I'm gonna show this to my girlfriend who suffers from low self esteem and and depression and I think this video will really help her because you explained it in a way that so understandable and so much better than I could or that I could find on YouTube I think this video was brilliant
  • Ross with that accent you should never have low self esteem . I feel the same, I dont date because I dont think I am good enough
  • @lanebashford3982
    You are one gutsy and brave man. God bless....hope you are thriving and doing well since you put this vid out. LOVE and RESPECT from across the pond.

    I feel you brother, being so hard on oneself is tough and incorrect to a healthy living and mindset. Living with self acceptance
