what's up boys it girls hey dudes they is Courtney J
here and today I'm going to be talking about how to beat depression now in my
last video I did talk about depression and how he has personally affected me and
I thought that I could just highlight the key aspects what I use
to try and get past it and betta and just be better in life and live a happier
life from just doing these few tips so hopefully if they can help you that would
make me feel amazing and hopefully I make you feel amazing too so
first things first that would be to stay positive and I know
that is like an obvious thing but it is really a key aspect of being happy and
getting better and one of the ways what I find is the best way to be positive is
having a hobby doing something that you really enjoy and
know that you can get better at I suppose so in our example this for me is my
youtube I started it about two years ago and when I first started I thought I'd
only get maximum of like 10 subscribers and that's not the case
anymore I actually have over 9,000 subscribers which is just a
crazy amount and it's amazing to see my channel growing every single day not
only does it mean that I'm getting better doing YouTube videos it also means
that a lot more people are starting to find my channel and really
enjoy it to make the time to subscribe and watch me and I think that's amazing
to see my own personal growth and it also gives me that confidence to know that
I am good at something and I can say to myself hey whenever fits all
crap and bad at least you are good at this and at least
you're doing something with this and I think that's an amazing feeling and it's
something what I personally have to do for myself another thing I'd recommend is
getting into a spa or going to a gym now body confidence is
probably one of the biggest aspects for causing depression now I know personally
that I look at my body every now and again and I kind of feel disgusted and the
way I look it can be from the shape of my nose to thinking that I
have manboobs to thinking that I've put on weight in my
tummy and in most cases you may have put a little bit of weight on but it's an
easy thing to change and one of the best things from going to the gym is also
seeing your personal progress getting better at something seeing
that you can lift more or you can run for longer or you are losing a little bit
of weight or you're putting on muscle mass and these things can make you feel
great and I know there's plenty of times where I've gone come out the
German I feel amazing because I know that I'm personally
making a change the next thing I'm going to recommend is having a friend or a
family member you are close to and being able to talk to them now my personal
coping mechanism for this is I went on a site called interpals and
it's a site where you can talk to complete strangers and its really cool because
you can meet people around the world and they just want to have a conversation
and it's really nice to know that people just want to have a
conversation and it's amazing what you can share with a stranger
what you can't share with a friend or a family member and it's amazing how you
can make new friends but the family member and friends do work because sometimes
your friend your family member is going through the exact same
thing as you and you can both be a foundation for each other in getting better
when you're feeling down you go to the other person they can pick you back up
when they're feeling down you can pick them up and it's just a
reverse cycle and you keep doing it and one day you're going
to not need it and that's gonna be the best day because that's the day you know
that you are definitely getting better and the third thing I'm going to
recommend is changing up your diet if you're eating rubbish you're going to
feel like rubbish you are what you eat so eat a little bit healthier and you
will definitely feel the changes because when you've eaten rubbish you feel
fatigued you feel tired and that's gonna make you feel non motivated
it's not gonna make you want to do things and then you're
gonna start to notice that you're not doing things and then you're gonna get
yourself down because you want to do things.
but just too tired to do it and that
brings our cooking another great way to stay motivated and
positive you can cook the same dish three times and each time it can taste even
more better it's a great way to see personal progress and personal growth and if
you're doing something which I know you're getting better at it makes
you feel great Risa's the endorphins and then you're gonna
start bringing down that depression level to a happiness level and I know this
all seems like all these are really small things but it's the small things were
added up to the massive things so I'm just gonna quickly
apologize here about my audio I have to go for the camera at the moment because
my phone is actually my audio recorder but there's something I really want to
tell you about and it's the fourth thing that you can do do help with
your depression and that is the NHS go it's part of a
campaign which I have to promote with a few other youtubers like Riyadh Khalifa
and Hannah Witton and we all think he's an amazing idea what you guys should
definitely try out it's just a little app and it's everything what
the NHS does crammed into one lap for you to find out all the information that
you need to know now they've been working on this app for a while and they know
a lot of people end up searching the internet to try and find out
what's wrong with them and you end up spending hours and
hours and by the end of it you think you have the Black Plague or some sort of
skinny virus which is gonna kill you in like two days and this is just to help
you get past that and actually find the information that you need to know
to help you get better so as I said it does have depression on here it has
depression anxiety sleep sex and relationships our gbt has information about
coming out all the things that might get you down Oh some of the
information that you need to know about just generally training
and getting better and I think it's a brilliant app I wouldn't promote it if I
didn't and I think it's something that all you guys could have a look at I know
how nerve-racking it can be to go to the doctors and ask them
there's something wrong my body can you have a look at it and it's a scary thing
to ask a complete stranger to look you over and for them to be just buoyant and
say yeah you've got this so this app.
can help you determine what you have
that way you don't go in feeling completely oblivious to the situation and that
way you can kind of understand what you're going for I will put a link to it in
the description below for you guys to go and download it it's completely free
and I hope you guys can get some help from it because I think
it's brilliant so boys it girls did you like that video if you did please give
it a massive thumbs up because it helps me out so much also give this video a
share because it might help when your friends your relatives or
somebody you don't even know you just kind of stalks you to get better and cure
their depression because that's what we really want at the end of the day you
should also follow me on all my social media or have it in the
description below and I'll probably put something with magical
editing here for you to click on and you can follow me so I can feel just that
little bit of famous nough switch all the celebrities have because I'm bachelor
but anyways I'm gonna say love and two degrees thank you for watching
you're all amazing and I'll see you next time
