    Too depressed to shower? Really…

      Really. I know people like this, and I also know what I’ve been through as well. It might not be your perspective, but that means you are lucky and/or were able to not experience it. That doesn’t mean it’s not others’ perspective; otherwise, even this video wouldn’t exist. Please don’t be arrogant like some people used to be and don’t take simple things as given. Nothing is, and to anyone.

      @@PiotrKaszuba8403I’m definitely not arrogant. I would be interested to hear more how you deal with a situation like this. Just startling to hear that you can incapacitate yourself beyond hygiene even though it could be readily accessible. Seems like more of a self neglect/destructive result of depression rather than the depressions itself maybe.

      @@Grey_mind people who are in that position, myself included once upon a time, lose connection with norms as intrusive thoughts and negative self-talk govern your existence. It’s an insidious loss of self-control, rather than a choice. I likened falling into it like falling into a well. The trip down is quick, and the trip back up is long and arduous.

    Compassion is very important, especially when there is a lack of it from other people whom you used to trust, even with your life, and for whom you would be able to give your life if necessary. Be compassionate to yourself and others. This is what makes us human. P.S. There is a well-known book, ‘Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?’, which is actually a lot about this topic, even if it is initially known as dystopian science fiction. It is good and probably should be read by anyone.

    The solution is in the work your avoiding. Although, we could have more compassion towards one another.

    It’s like she learned a bunch of life hacks and then practiced saying them with emotion.

      I haven’t seen the long version of this, but no, it’s like she’s addressing serious issues of depression and self-care in the face of it.

      Is mean-spiritedness your default?

Which Idea Wins Over 4,000 People? | Amman | TED Idea Search

The TED Idea Search wraps up in Amman, Jordan, in a 2,000-year-old Roman amphitheater and in front of a crowd of 4,000.

The TED Idea Search wraps up in Amman, Jordan, in a 2,000-year-old Roman amphitheater and in front of a crowd of 4,000. What unfolds inside those stone walls is something the series hasn’t quite seen before: speakers shaped by the weight of living in a region the world tends to define for itself. From a mountaineer who turned grief into motivation to a therapist rewriting the Arab world’s language around mental health, the final city makes the strongest case yet that the best ideas can come from anywhere.

Watch the full talks from the TEDxAmman Idea Search:

00:00 – Intro
3:24 – Rehearsals
16:00 – The Talks
36:28 – Deliberation
38:48 – The Winner Is…

The most interesting ideas often come from the most unexpected places. We searched the globe for ideas with the power to inspire, motivate and change lives — and we found them at @TEDx events around the world. The TED Idea Search follows extraordinary speakers from 9 countries competing for a spot on the TED main stage in Vancouver this April.
