Everybody did it.

We fucking did it.

We got up early.

We did the 90-minute class.

And now I'm going to go to work.

And now I got some momentum.

But it's hard to just make that first step.

And that's one tiny little step in this gigantic journey of self-improvement.

And if you don't take those steps at all, if you're that fucking dude that just gets at home and just medicated, watching Netflix, Uber Eats, wake up, do it all over again, you're going to feel like shit.

Well, I think it's hard for people to take the first step, I think, because a big part of depression is feeling like it's going to last forever.

It's kind of the delusion that that feeling pitches you.

It's a weird mindset where everything is poisoned.

Every thought you have is poisoned with this negativity, and you start to actually think back at your life and think that it was all that way when it wasn't.

It's hard to remember the good times.

Yeah, when you're in a dark place, I think the thing to remember is that,

it doesn't like it like the suicide it suicide comes in your brain as like an escape hatch it's like your fight or flight thing going like this is an escape it's trying to help right it's like when your immune system is uh overactive yeah it's like your fight or flight is overactive so you have to remember that and just get getting help people sometimes just don't get help because of shame or

whatever, but it always ends.

The bad always ends if you put the work in and remember that it doesn't last forever and that your thoughts are not, it's a delusion you're in right now.

It's not real.

Your brain is playing a trick on you.
