My journey - Alex Vass

Short and very specific.

A difficult question to ask yourself. A necessary question to understand WHY you're living and for WHAT!

In this episode the main subject is feeling FEAR. My dear reader, think about why you say “NO” to yourself. Cause every time you allow fear to win, you're saying no to YOURSELF! Where does that feeling come from? Have your ever asked yourself this question???

A little inside on why I started to turn my life around and what made me think about regret in the first place. I know it will help YOU understand yourself better

These 4 concepts are vital for my journey and I’m sure some of them, if not all, will answer some of your own questions. Thank you for joining me on my #RecoveryJourney

Today in episode 22 I’m expanding the affirmations subject. I think it’s important to talk about what makes us survive each day, especially because depression and anxiety is lived and sometimes suffered each day. Some pretty awesome realisations today so check it out

YOU do YOU! What good will come out of listening to others? None — not for you anyway

When dealing with depression, there are certain things to expect and others you just don’t! People are always unexpected or — better yet — people’s reactions are unexpected. I’m talking about what type of people I’ve encountered while revealing publicly that I have depression and anxiety. I know this will help you understand that their reactions don’t have any power over your decisions

I can’t believe I held myself back from doing videos and posting more on social media because of this!!!

Today I talk about how I got to the conclusion of building my own daily ritual and the why behind it. Please allow it to guide you for making your own personal ritual towards your #RecoveryJourney and adapt it to your own needs.

Although intimate and personal, I think this part of my life is relevant to the journey of recovery from depression. Have a listen, let me know what you think

It doesn’t only turn into a great healthcare professional but also into an observer of your own anxiety attacks and depressive episodes. And that’s when the magic happens ✨

The title says it all and the answer is within yourself. If you’re having trouble finding your answer, I’ve recorded this episode to give you some hints and ideas of what to search for. But REMEMBER❗️Only you have the best answer for yourself

What do you do when anxiety kicks in? What’s your strategy to ground yourself? I talk about what I do and the 4 steps I take to approach an anxiety attack. I know it will help YOU at some point in time

I’m developing some questions around therapy for depression and anxiety patients. Remember this is from a patient’s perspective, as I don’t have any formal training for psychological therapy or counselling. I know this will help someone who’s indecisive about how, when, where and what type of therapy that should be doing, and even if they should do it at all! Keep safe and listen closely

This is my list of things that help me everyday, that’s my go-to list for accepting myself just the way I am. Not only this helps me get through the day but encourages me to continue fighting for a better tomorrow

This episode was not planned like the others. I have no list or billet-points for this one. When listening, be patient and try to analyse it from the observer’s perspective: don’t analyse the content, try to look at the format, specifically the thinking format. Unfortunately this is how a depressed person’s mind works, and it’s exhausting! It doesn’t only take away your energy and time but it also takes away your happiness, positive emotions and, most importantly, it takes away your hope - the dreams you’re looking forward to accomplish. Please know that you can get better at controlling your depression and be happy because of it! I can do it (and I still have episodes and thoughts like these) so you can as well

Usually it’s difficult to find reason behind a conflict. The situation becomes even more difficult when it comes to our loved one. And on top, we have to deal with our own depression and anxiety, with our own efed up state of mind. And so, today I’m talking myself out of continuing the self-guilt. Find out how!

Overall, this is what my life is about at the moment, and comparing it to this time last year I’m definitely making the most out of my time today. It can be done, and your mental illness does not have to be the end of your happy life!

I love

These are a few things that I do to detect at an early stage my depression & anxiety symptoms, and they work as ‘alarm bells’ to help me avoid getting into a full-blown depression episode.

Going back to the basics means taking responsibility for your ‘old-self’, for who you used to be and decided to change.

I’ve gathered a list of weaknesses that I now use as strengths, and have served me well during the time I considered them to be ‘weaknesses’. I’m not saying I didn’t want them to become ‘strengths’ but I’m saying I learned more from them when they were negative traits. I’m also saying I couldn’t have made them positive attributes if it wasn’t for them going against me in the first place

Depression manifests differently in every person. I’m explaining my choices of treatment, my conscious choices considering all the options available and what I wanted to try (aka experiment on myself).

I used to hide my depression and anxiety and pretend I was this perfect person leading a perfect life. Another aspect of myself revealed. I really trust this will help you on your own #HappinessJourney

I’m back with a new series of episodes, talking about my journey with anxiety and depression. I really wish this helps you, the one who’s listening, to #ChaseYourHappinessJourney

Got the courage to record an episode after more than 3 months of absence.

Am învățat să vorbesc despre tot și despre toate pentru că frica ne împiedică progresul. ❤️❤️❤️ #ChaseHappinessJourney

Am învățat (sau reînvățat!) o lecție importantă. Te identifici cu povestea mea? Sper să te ajute și pe tine, drag ascultător / dragă ascultătoare, în drumul tău, în a-ți găsi fericirea!

Find out why I stopped listening to the biggest entrepreneur of all times ... you’ll be shocked!

I talk about fear in this episode because I think it’s one of the biggest challenges each and every one of us has, sometimes not even acknowledging we are scared. I hope specific examples of my life will help your do something about your limits and limitations, and will give you that push to face your fears! #ChaseHappiness and do it for yourself ❤️❤️❤️ Remember I love each & every one of you!

Being consistent is a problem for me because I’m not, so I have to work on that. Natalie gave me a different perspective about helping and supporting women, women whom want to become strong powerful individuals and don’t know what they’re doing or how to start. I’ve tried to be inclusive of men as well but sorry fellas, after listening to the audio I feel it’s mostly meant for tha ladies

Forgot to upload this episode on Monday, guys

Mi s-a părut foarte mișto interviul lui Mircea și am decis să vorbesc un pic despre cum învățăm în ziua de azi și ce schimbări a adus Internetul pentru noi, cei din generația ‘89. Nici eu n-am crescut cu YouTube pe coridoarele școlilor dar înțeleg că lumea evolutionează și dacă vreau să transmit ceva celorlalți trebuie să mă adaptez vitezei! Un monolog pentru voi, dragii mei ascultători ❤️❤️❤️ #CautăFericirea și fă-o pentru tine!

Hi beautiful people! This was supposed to be a “welcome back” for September and ended up being a full energy rant about motivating YOU to do your own journey.

I recommend you not listen to this audio episode if you’re sensitive or very strong minded about having children and , as a woman, giving birth to your own children because I strongly believe the opposite. And this may be offensive to your beliefs so please don’t listen to it. I’m outraged and feel ashamed because of how dismissive my GP was with me when I told him the reason of my visit was to proceed to a gynaecologist referral to get a female sterilisation done. I know now no matter how much a man will try to understand my feelings as a woman, he will never know how I really feel and how frustrated it is to explain the same situation over and over again. And not only to explain it but to be dismissed for it. As you can tell I’m quite negative today and I don’t like myself for feeling like this but I have to let it out. Please enjoy your Monday and start your journey TODAY! Don’t listen to the negativity and the negative people around you, please follow your dreams and aspirations because you want to be at peace with yourself

Today I talk about self awareness as a weapon and as a practical tool to enhance your journey. When you know yourself and have explored to understand what you’d love to do, then you’re making your way to that self awareness place from which you can start working and deploying patience on your final goal. Comparing ourselves and our dreams with other’s is not the way to go because we’re all different people with different expectations. #ChaseHappiness and do it for yourself! #HappyFriday ❤️

During my #ChaseHappiness journey I’m learning about myself, about what I do and what I don’t do, where I execute and where I don’t and why that’s happening. I need to understand where I stand in order to continue my journey, I need to understand where my emotions come from and how to manage them so I can create my own path. One of the misconceptions I had was defining what an emotionally person is, how is reacting and how is executing. Understanding this made me actually comprehend I was wrong in my own definition, definition I learnt from childhood/school/friends/society. Remember: any learned behaviour/concept can be unlearned

I hear people complaining all the time about not having money or time or just not having something. Time we all have but some of you dedicate it to scrolling on Facebook, money we can all make one way or another but some decide to be fancy and not accept a type of job because it’s not an office job, and everything else happens if you work for it. So where is the excuse now? Patience is the key to happiness and involves planning ahead, involves having a plan B before you think about a plan A. If B goes wrong, f*** it, acknowledge it and move forward. Patience is the key from today’s conversation. #ChaseHappiness and do it for yourself ❤️

Just one of those days when there’s loads of negative thoughts on your mind and you don’t know what to do, how to react

We tend to believe romantic relationships will be fairytale stories and the reality is day-to-day activity and practicality has to be taken into the equation. Of course you’re expecting flowers and chocolates and strong feelings (especially during sex

I’ve always felt happy and content doing my duties with SJA but today was something special ✨. I could see gratitude, relief and raw emotions from those who I’ve helped. I’m hooked on positivity, I’m hooked on being who I’m meant to be, I have a few more “thank you’s” to encourage my #journey ❤️. #HappySunday to you, beautiful people, and I encourage you to #ChaseHappiness for yourselves!

Today I talk (very shortly) about how I feel when I’m on duty as a First Aider. I was helped to find my path and you, my dear listener, can be helped as well to find your #HappinessJourney . Rely and ask for advice to people whom love you. Listen to what they have to say and go 1000 % in for your happiness

As I’m committed to my own challenge for this month of August, I’m doing a quick rant about my day and put in some good Friday vibes

As I’m turning 30 at the end of this month, I thought it would be fun to challenge myself a bit. Today I’m sending an application for a job but fingers crossed

We all have those crappy days when everything seems too black & white, when nothing elevates our mood and we just want to be left alone. That’s what I’ve been through last week, a familiar feeling which my thoughts still attracts from time to time. Does that mean my #ChaseHappiness journey is f*** up?!?! See if my solution helps you understand yourself and #HelpYourself in those bad days! #BeKindToYourself #Love

It’s always hard to express yourself when you feel low, not motivated or out of energy. I haven’t discovered yet how to get over these moments quickly and to avoid turning them into nonproductive days but for now I noticed an improvement since before starting my social media journey: I am able to just snap out of it after a day or couple of days without digging myself too deep in the shit-hole. It used to me much more difficult to get out of that feeling and turn the page. It used to last for days and days in a row, and there wasn’t anything I would do about it. Now I’m grateful I can find the strength to talk about it to other people and do some sort of activity that will snap me out of it. My #ChaseHappiness journey has ups and downs, and I accept that this is part of the process.

I felt interrogated today by two different people about my desire to remain a childless woman all my life. I’m looking to get a permanent solution for this and today I have started the process to make it happen. It’s going to be long, it’s going to be tedious and I’m not going to like it. I’m not going to like it because I have to give reasons and explanations to everyone around me of why I don’t want to give birth to my own children and I feel that people who want to have children are not interrogated the way I am! But I’m willing to go through this process because I’ve made up my mind a long while ago and now it’s time the world knows as well!!! #ChaseHappiness #HappyMondayEvening

I feel more identified with male pattern and I look up to strong female figures. I don’t think there’s a right or a wrong choice, everyone is different and needs different guidance. This is what works for me :) ❤️ My #ChaseHappiness journey continues and gets better & better every day, as I push myself to answer questions I didn’t feel comfortable answering before. #BeKind to yourself and help someone today if you can! #LoveYourself cause that’s always gonna pay off ❤️
