They might be ambiguous grief—grieving the life you won’t have, the alternate selves that never got to exist. In this video I name it, normalize it, and share two frameworks that help:1. Engage the life you have (even if it’s not the one you wanted)2.

My Mind Is A Prison I Cannot Escape From
You can live in a beautiful world and still feel trapped in a nightmare—because what’s inside you shapes everything you see. In this video, I share my most personal philosophy on depression: why your relationship with yourself is the road that connects you to everything good, and what happens when you stop maintaining it.This isn’t about quick fixes—it’s about understanding why neglect, shame, and self-hatred cut you off from joy, love, and even God, and how caring for your mind, body, and spirit repairs that connection. The world doesn’t have to change before you can feel better—but you do have to keep your road open.If this resonates, you’re not broken—you’re just rebuilding the path home.Get my 5-day guide to reclaiming your time and energy despite mental health struggles.Get Practical tools for navigating life with depression and anxiety, delivered weekly.2 Unique ways to work with meDramatically improve your sleep in 2 steps with my Sleep Workbook.My book: For When Everything is BurningConnect with me on TikTokConnect on InstagramDisclaimer: This content is not intended to be a replacement for receiving treatment.

About The Psychology of Depression and Anxiety - Dr. Scott Eilers
There are people who understand depression and anxiety on a personal level and there are people who understand depression and anxiety on a medical level. There are relatively few people who understand both, and I’m one of them. As a clinical psychologist I have a doctorate degree and thousands of hours of professional experience providing treatment for mood and anxiety disorders. I also have 39 years of personal experience managing mood and anxiety disorders as I myself deal with these struggles. This podcast is my attempt to synthesize my personal knowledge with my professional knowledge.
