I'm impressed with the realism, and down to earth-ness in this its nice to hear your views and I agree with them in my hypocritical way... that is, I agree in theory but much to my own anoyance in practice I can be very human hating even though I know it's pointless to seperate myself and I don't consciously try to... I get on with humans ok and I'm socialy comfortable but I still feel out of place... not that I'd feel any better with wolves because I am for all intensive purposes human...
I've always believed I have the spirit of a different animal, especially in my happiest moments, for they are when I can express it. Figuring out which animal was the hard part.
I've suffered from clinical depression and anxiety disorder.
To be honest it truly angers me of all the close minded idiots and yes im insulting because they insult us. Sure there are crazy people but I can assure you I'm not because I have went to a psychologist against my will for my own good as my own decision and my mental health came clear. Do I believe in shape shifting? No that is absurd but souls/spirits do exist because I've come across my own proof and its all i need that i don't care anymore that people don't believe them.
I think I might have suffered from depression but that's was only because of girlfriend problems, but my realization of my therian wolf side isn't delusion nor an illness, It's more facts to me than pure thought, I'm half blooded Apache and I know their history with wolves and the the parasites that they fought but failed to overcome.
I've always been socially akward, but I don't usually feel uncomfortable when there are a lot of people around. However, I usually have a hard time fitting in in social situations. I don't know if this has to do with my therianthropy, but maybe it does.
how do you feel on the idea of the animal being the reverse? how can one tell? or an animal being a 'therian", like "Oh my cat is a peafowl in a cat's body"
I can only speak as a vampire but mental illness seems to be very common with those of us be they therian, vampire, otherkin... anyone who isn't what society considers normal. I think part of it is because we don't fit in and the fact that you're not like the other kids is extremely isolating. Having said that, you are right about there being other causes for depression
I watched this video and looked up some sites on therians and I have a lot the, I guess you could call them symptoms, of being a therian. Atm Im suffering from depression and Im VERY socially awkward. I dont get along with very many normal people. I like animals more than people. I dislike the human kind as a whole for what they have done to the earth such as the oil spill in the gulf of mexico I love nature and thats where I feel I belong. I just havent shifted yet cus im just looking into it
Awesome video! I suffer from depression though I try to avoid it. I'm not really society awkward, well at least around people that I've know for a long time. But at times I do find myself saying that I hate people but I just try hard to get over it.
I think this is really good, and I enjoyed someone else pointed this out. I've been formally diagnosed with social anxiety disorder and depression, and I feel I developed my otherkin-ness throughout my childhood and young adolescence to cope with the anxiety and with the depression. But I'm going to therapy to get over the anxiety and depression because I love people and I'd love to be with them without being awkward.

@GlitchMaster99999999 you dont become a therian, you inately are; awakening is a process of self discovery and may or may not end up in another therian.
@GlitchMaster99999999 you dont become a therian, you inately are; awakening is a process of self discovery and may or may not end up in another therian.
@masterkicks Well, I know I'm a therian now because of the mental shifts, the phantom shifts, the fact that I feel really strange when I think about wolves, and because of my behaviours,.But I don't really think about it much anymore because it's actually a subconscious thing. I went through a huge doubt period before this, but it's not really a problem anymore. Sadly my depression has continued to worsen, even after this issue was resolved, and I'm kind of unhappy with my life right now. )=
@GlitchMaster777 I will do the most unthinkable thing ever acomplished by hivemind kind and lend you a hand, join the hive, become one of us and do it for the lulz, laugh at everything including the bad things, and that way you can't become depressed, while trust me spirituallity does not help with curing depression, you can do whatever you want to do, no matter how many mecha laser jesus dragon wolf clones you have inside your soul.Now do the right thing, get that 8 year old in your basement.
I must say I've also noticed a lot of therians suffer from some sort of depression. I don't suffer from actual "depression", like I've never been diagnosed, but I do suffer from species dysphoria. And, if you don't mind my asking, do you suffer from any form of species dysphoria? (Feel free to ignore me. I know it can be odd to answer personal questions from random people online ^^)
Im a housecat therian and personally I hold no grudge against humanity. I do disagree with their habits and gluttony and such but todays humans are trying to counter their ways with such things as going green, recycling, yada yada.
I am, though, Going through a severe depressiong, complete with suicidal thoughts and tendencies. Im 16 and I am, of course, doubting my reason for being a therian. Nonetheless, Im waiting it out and only time will tell ^^
nice vids jet, i am a grey fox therian, and i was a little depressed before, and kinda still am, i know this stuff is real, but i wrestle with myself on the idea, sometimes i doubt myself, thinking my mind is just making it up , i mean why me, but then i just look at the facts etc and i do have terrible anxiety and depression issues trying to cope with it never want to take my problems to a shrink because they really dont care about your problems....but anyways im rambling keep up the good work
i agree on some of what you said. i didn't awaken tell i had another therian talk to me and well it kinda went from there. i'm not going to say i was never depressed, but i wasn't at that point in time of my life. it happened later on and when it did, i thought i was nuts for thinking i was an animal. but the feeling of what i was never went away. it's been 3 years since then and i have learn so much and i still have much to learn. i am different i know that and proud of it.
I agree completely with what you've said Jet. I am a therian (tiger) and I do have some depression and anxiety issues as well. You read my mind. The hating humans because of how they are and everything. I'd like to see you make more videos, I know I'll be watching them. It's just so nice to know that people out there are in the same boat as me.
I realy know about your anxiety problem, iv'e started to understand the anxiety is a last wall, i have the feeling to let it go and explode but that wall is my last sane barrier, i dont want to be put in a strate jacket :/ but i know what you mean about toughing it out, its caused me sleep problems and everything, anger, :/
Thank you Jet. You have awakened me. I now know why I once thought I was a wolf. I was really getting into some serious business. Changing my diet to a wolves, my appearance, and my attitude towards life. Thank you Jet, have honestly saved someones life. You are amazing and thank you for coming forward and not letting yourself be embarrassed or anything. I too suffer from depression, and I thought that changing would lead to escape. I even tried to p-shift ha. You, my friend, are a savior!
Very insightful Jet. Im a timber wolf therian and i suffer from depression and have for many years. I would like to think my therianthropy isnt a form of escapism or trying to find a way to be special but I cant honestly say that it isnt. I do know that after i "awakened" i have found alot of solice in knowing myself better. But even our community can be alienating so its not a cure by any means. (message to others) But yeah, great vid.
Good videos, Jet. Mature, honest, and well spoken. From this point, it would be interesting to hear how Therianthropy has affected you. In particular, how did you come to recognize your theriotype? What shift(s) do you experience? What is it like when you shift? How has this affected your life? When you met other therians, did that have a profound affect as well?
Hey Jet. =) Good video...I'm almost 18 and I've had major problems with depression and anxiety since I was about 12-13. I've got so much I could say about this..But what I've learned recently, is that a lot of my anxiety comes from being introverted...which isn't a bad thing. I read a great book that helped me to realize that I do love being social, I just wasn't spending enough time alone to "recharge" afterward. Making extra time to be alone and do things I enjoy has improved life a LOT.
plz always remember that all healing is always possible. i know cuz i had severe depression, suicidal tendencies, and severe schizophrenia for 37 years. i was healed by a miracle of the God and Goddess. Simply by prayer, and not giving up. And sick faith! I would not let these horrible sufferings steal my life from me. 37 years is long enough to suffer from anything. Now my life has only just begun, and it IS SO SWEET!
i send u all healing magical sugar cookie sprinkles. haha
Wow. Just wow. You took all the words out of my head. I have been a Therian for a long time now, although until a few years ago I didn't know there was a name for how I felt. However going into High school I developed bad anxiety and depression issues. I'm now talking to a counselor regularly and on anti depressants, but my Therianthropy is still with me. It makes me proud of who I am. But I still realize I am human, and humans need other humans. Its just the way things are. Thank you ^_^
As many teenagers grow up, they become aware of the world. They see war, famine, pain, and then they look back at history and look at all the evils humanity has performed, all the suicidal rampages they all did. I started a depression that turned into flat out misanthropy by freshman year.
Which is one of the reasons I accepted my inner Timberwolf. I don't think I'm some kind of freak or mutant, just someone in touch with my true self. In any case, thanks for posting this insightful video!
Yo, Man. It's ArcticXCytosisX from xbox and Arctic_Shadow from werespace. I know one time when i shifted I felt extremely lonely and out of place because of course my mind was not completely human at the time. Sadly lately my connection with the wolf is'nt to strong these last couple of weeks. Also, I plan on making a vid series (like yours, and other peoples vids, about therianthropy and random crap in general, if my webcam decides to stop showing grainy shit,lolz.
I'm impressed by your level of dettachment from the elitism that often goes hand in hand the therian lifestyle, it's rare to meet someone from that culture who is capable of your level of self-honesty. I hope that you become a paragon for others to follow
Though I disagree with you about depression, if you were to ask any random selection of people they'd feel much the same way you do. When part of such a specific culture it's hard to see beyond it when looking for explanations for the mundane.
@TheFounderUtopia One in four people suffer from clinical depression that can be treated with SSRIs. In theory, adolescents who suffer from depression or anxiety are more likely to research therianthropy or at least stumble across it. Just a theory, maybe I'm crazy, but this idea isn't just a hunch. I've been around different corners of the community and this is just one hypothesis I've had.
No it makes a lot of sense actually. You're suggesting that it's more likely that people suffering with depression (which does itself often go hand in hand with mysanthropic feelings) may identify more with the therian culture as a form of emotional escapism, and thereby inevitably comprise the majority of that community?
If this is true, perhaps it suggests that Therianism isn't something unique to individuals, but something which we all have a part of waiting to be found.
@TherianthropeJet That is completely true man. except that. I was think trying to shift causes depression. I have been depressed too. I am 13 so I shouldn't be depressed. It is the being a therian that causes depression.
Makes a welcome change hearing something different about Therians.
Depression: Its on & off with me. 30% of the time Im feeling so good about myself I think I can accomplish anything. 60% like Im completely useless & going nowhere.
& 10% neutral.
I dont think its connected to Therianthropy though, I think most people have some level of depression.
Yer, Im trying to hate humans less. Doing me no good.
