How I Was The Richest Man In The World And Didn't Realize It... And I Don't Mean Money
Depression can be a real bitch.
It is unbelievable how you can have almost the perfect life and not even be able to see it due to the way depression affects your perception.
If you've never had serious depression before consider yourself to be very lucky. And, there is simply no way to explain it to you if you haven't felt it. It's that bad.
Luckily, in the last two years I have managed to do the hard work necessary to fight myself out of depression (for the most part) and in my latest video I discuss my most recent epiphanies.
The biggest of them being how I truly had everything but couldn't even recognize it.
Once I was able to recognize it and learn how to be grateful for it, it pushed me even further out of depression.
It's actually all kind of hard to describe... I try my best in this video though:
Many people have told me how much this video touched them and inspired them. So, if you are in need of inspiration, check it out.
And if you are depressed know that there is hope. I am just one example!
Thanks for sharing that. I used to have blue skies also, but meditation helped a lot.
I have been in a retreat led by Ferenc Jalics S.J., his way of meditation is simple and works. Read his book, You can order here:

Try it, You will not regret it!
I have suffered from depression for most of my adult life..meditation is the thing that broke the mould for me x
Totally agree, meditation is a game changer.
you are a great storyteller @jeffberwick! you tell your stories spontaneously with specific details ☺-- i had fun listening; you are in the right track, one thing im learning in my own metamorphosis, just flow like a river.. all the best!
absolutely, meditation is a game changer, and might I add that 24/7 mindfulness is the turbo boost to the game changer. By mindfulness 24/7, I mean just going through your daily life, as normal, even the depressive parts, but adding mindfulness (wakeful meditation aka witnessing) to your mind and emotions as you go about your day. Somehow, the works like being in meditation WHILE living life as normal, and it really changes things. That's in addition to the normal mediation sessions. Thanks for a great post!

Please don'øt come with "fuck off" like you dod two times now, to my oppinion. I am right about this and you should know that by now. The way you live is evil, I made the argument, and you cant counter that argument, because it is true!!!
So you better send her and the boy back now, or this war just got started!!!

Saw this when you first posted on you tube: was watching you every day there for a while...a fascinating journey. I'm depressed too; on paxil for lack of a better solution
You are depressed because your brain is not functioning correctly. Basically this is due to nutritional deficiencies and toxic overload -- although the situation appears very complex, addressing the problems of nutrition and toxicity will help your body to fix whatever is causing you to be depressed.
The challenge for you will be to choose the correct method of restoring your health. Most systems of healing do not work that well and cause other problems later on. At this time, I can only recommend that you begin a Nutritional Balancing program immediately. http://drlwilson.com/do%20hair%20analysis.htm It really works.
We have choices in life, no matter what, it's up to you to make the changes as we grow.
We all make mistakes, a wise man learns from them, a fool continues doing them.
It's not an easy road once you have fallen off the right path, but as you have inspired many, it is possible.
Good job!
First, I want to note the stregth it takes to openly share what many would consider to be a weakness, especially for men who are taught not to express emotion. I too have dealt with depression off and on since about 18 years old and I hope to share my story on steemit soon. Thanks for the inspiration!
I don't believe in men having to avoid emotion to be a man when real men are able to cry and share their emotions with people be it loved ones or online like here on Steemit!
Depression is no weakness, but it can get hard to do anything or break away from.
Agreed 100%
la depresión debería ser para adolescentes, nosotros , podemos conseguir cerveza y marihuana hombre ;), el hombre esta echo ha imagen y semejanza de Dios, todo lo que nos propongamos seremos capaz de lograrlo, la única limitación que existe somos nosotros mismo y el miedo a no hacerlo
Great content @jeffberwick, thank you for sharing. Relaying the lessons you learned about yourself to others is very noble. I am a newcomer to Steemit and will be posting an introduction post soon! I look forward to reading more of your posts.
