It's cool that my friend helped me step outside. Sometimes it's difficult to leave the house, but I'm glad I did this time. Bringing a book to read and being surrounded by nature felt good.

Finding a balance between opening up, bottling things in, and deciding to push through challenges on my own is a constant work in progress. Do you think there are better times than others to talk about what you are going through? When you are feeling depressed, is there a "right" and "wrong" time to open up? When do you feel comfortable talking about your mental health? Let's figure this out together.

I'm so okay with not fitting in. It saddens me at times, but when I realize I wouldn't be here today if I didn't believe in myself and choose who I want to be in this life, rather than who others think I "should" be, I feel a sense of strength. It takes courage to stand on your own character in this world. I hope this episode shows you that you are not alone in fighting projections, perceptions, and even your own self-doubt. Keep going. You got this.

Do you ever think about if you are truly doing something wrong or not? If so, how often do you think about that? In this episode, I share my experiences and thoughts about the worry of always doing something wrong. This can come from anxiety, stress, and so many other factors, but I'm sharing my own experience. If you feel you worry constantly and care to be kind, loving, and helpful to others, this episode is definitely for you.

In this podcast episode, you will hear deep thoughts about life, mental health, and reasons to want to stay. If you are struggling with depression or anxiety, this is a heavy episode (trigger warning). My hope is that sharing shows you it is okay to cry sometimes and let out what you are going through. Talking about your pain can be a healthier way to cope than trying to push through by yourself, and keeping it inside. You are not alone, let’s keep pushing forward the best we can.

When there is a specific reason why I feel depressed, I do my best to remember it. After recently feeling depressed, and having deep inner thoughts, I believe I care about helping other people too much. (Helping other people smile is great, but learning how to help yourself smile a great too)

Have you ever asked yourself, "How the heck am I still alive and breathing today?" I ask myself that almost every single day, especially after some recent chaotic events that have happened in my personal life lately. In this episode, I do my best to touch upon the "5 Health Buckets of Life" concept I've created and have been focusing on filling them up myself. Minimalizing my day-to-day to these 5 buckets has helped me push through a lot of mental noise and mental challenges that I face due to my own depression and anxiety. I hope that by sharing these with you, you write these buckets down for yourself and begin your journey of gaining confidence in the ability to fill your own buckets. You can do this. You are not alone when it comes to fighting the mental health stigma, depression, anxiety, or low self-esteem. I'm rooting for you. I'm rooting for us. Let's keep pushing forward DT Nation.

Here is the audio from my 'Depression Talks YouTube Channel' video called, "None Of This Matters." I recorded and shared this video openly on my YouTube Channel, but I understand that there is a different audience here on this podcast. Thank you. Thank you so much for supporting me through all of this time. This has been a journey that has almost made me quit on Depression Talks and my own life so many times. But DT Nation, I am still here, still breathing, and I know I'm not alone in this crazy thing called life. Let's keep fighting and pushing forward one day, one second, one moment at a time! This wasn't an easy moment for me, but I made it through. If you would like to get more connected with me and my mission to change the mental health stigma, you can visit DepressionTalks.org

Many people share reasons to be alive or reasons to stay alive, and the majority of the time I would say... their advice may actually make things worse. In this episode, I share what I believe are 'healthy' reasons to want to stay alive. I believe they are healthy because they are all internal reasons (instead of most advice being external reasons from the individual who is feeling depressed). This mental fight to stay alive is not always easy, but it's still a fight. That means we can't give up. Winning is breathing to me. As long as we're breathing, we're still pushing forward with a purpose. Let's continue to push forward. We got this DT Nation.

I'm exhausted. I just want to sleep right now. I keep on fighting this thing called "life", and it's annoying me. Even so, I keep on fighting. I won't give up. I refuse to. Depression and anxiety are a part of my life. It takes hard work to continue to healthily manage my mental health all the time. I'm tired of thinking about and having negative thought loops that play over and over again in my mind. In this episode, I open up about what I'm currently experiencing mentally and emotionally. I hope that by opening up to you, you see that you are not alone when it comes to fighting depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem. DT Nation, let's keep on fighting and staying strong. We got this.

I really did my best in this episode to try and explain complex thoughts I had to work through during my recent emotional breakdown. These weren't "normal tears" similar to other depressive episodes I've had in the past. This one hurt. There were no signs of sadness on my face. Just a stern and intense stare off into space while tears kept pouring out.
If you have been a listener to this podcast, you know that when I have a mental breakthrough, I share that experience with you here. We are in this fight together when it comes to battling depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem. I promise you that you are not alone. If you are currently struggling with taking physical action in something, I hope that listening to this episode shifts your perspective into a positive for your health and growth. You got this.

I just uploaded this video to my YouTube channel "Depression Talks" titled "I don't like talking about this...". It's hard for me to talk during moments like this. I feel numb, empty, and trapped... like I'm in a dense fog not knowing my way out. I hope my "letting it out" helps you in some way. I don't know how, but I just hope it does. Depression and anxiety are real, and I'm not afraid to tell the world that.

My short answer, nothing. There is nothing wrong with being weird, awkward, or different. I didn't always feel this way. I actually struggled the majority of my life feeling like I was not good enough because I was weird. Every time I didn't fit in and was made fun of for being myself, my confidence, self-esteem, and mentality lowered dramatically. It felt impossible to love the person I looked at in the mirror.
Now, I embrace my weirdness! I love how different I am from others. I don't mind being called weird or different because that makes me unique in my own way. I have no desire to be like anyone else. I'd rather be myself. In life, that's all I can be. Me.
If you are someone that feels like an outcast, you are not alone. Embrace what makes you different. Embrace being "weird". You are more than enough already being actual who you are.
