So I have literally been depressed most of my life🤦‍♀

Watched a couple of videos about this. Which part of dysthemia is "high-functioning" ..? Is it merely because we try our damndest to live with it ? Emphasis on "try" because it's a whole lotta effort to put in. Also, that's not good enough for me. Is it because we can act better than an Oscar-winning actor on how to act like everything's fine and normal when we're in public, but at times on the verge of breaking down into uncontrollable sobs of ugly crying when alone with our thoughts ? Or is it because there are some of us who can only "function" as a vessel for a soul, only when we're "high" off of something, in order to get through another day with it. Or God forbid, relying, depending on substances, whatever they are. None of the videos I have seen thus far have explained this part. Sure, I get majority of my chores done before the sun is high above the head, and I get some sweat off of doing that. I try my best to shove food down my throat even though I've had enough, in order to gain a healthy weight. I've been told by elders for someone of my age, it's rare to be able to analyze things so detailed. I have the "gift of gab" as some has put it, and in a language that is not native to me (English). But I still feel like a piece of shit on a daily basis, leeching off of "life" for whatever's left of it, hoping I dont slit my arms again for the next foreseeable future.

I need help comes to bullying

Binge drinking is more common in Young adults because they go out and party more and they don't have as many health issues. Older people don't do it as much because of age and health problems.

Thank u for expanding on what they all do. Reminded me before I see one

Mystic Flour = Apathy

I’m not involved with any romantic relationship that is narcissistic- I have been abused by narcissistic family & friends who have been gaslighting me my whole life. I have no idea why. I’m not codependent.

I like alcohol but my heart breaks for alcoholics. They're in a worse position than other drug addicts. Alcohol is so woven into our society that few people even consider it to be a drug. The fact that it's so readily available puts alcoholics in the worst position. It's so easy for them to relapse.

Sometimes I forget about the effect it had on me, because I’ve managed to find some close friends and I have my family. But any time I am exposed to a large group of people everything comes back to me and I feel the low self esteem and distrust for my peers all over again

Apathy because life feels like there's no real purpose.

I am dealing with gaslighters that have a warp thinking even when they are not gaslighting so sometimes it's just their ignorance.

This is a good talk, very practicsl

Apathy has been a relief for me. I think my mind got so tired of worrying about sht and other peoples problems that it has begun to shut down at any sign of it. I welcome it. It has given me incredible relief from the anxiety that has haunted me. I’d rather be completely apathetic than filled with anxiety. It is what it is.

Money kills I agree. 1 person can make 100000 in a day and another can never afford a home. Completely stupid idea.

It’s funny that I’ll watch something like this and it won’t be directly related to the video, but I’ll still end up getting what I need. It’s like going to an AA meeting, barely paying attention, and you figure out what you need to do. Thanks. Edit: The short version of what I figured out was in line with the winner effect. I didn’t feel like going after any wins though. I thought about indulging in a hedonistic activity, but really didn’t even want to do that much, and then I counted to 5, opposite of Mel Robbins’ technique to countdown, because there’s no anxiety so I don’t actually need it for that, but it helped me complete something, a win. Then I counted to 10. Another win. Started chanting God’s name. Another win. Then I thought about pranayama. I just kept building from there, and even sharing this with y’all is another win. Funny thing is I’ve been building a way for my students to process their emotions and I’ve been moving just fine for a good while without any issues, and then I just didn’t feel like doing anything. I think I was possibly feeling overwhelmed without realizing it. I did some EFT tapping right before, which I still found useful because I know it gets both sides of the brain talking to each other.

@swiss, no narcissism is more of a problem that people are aware of these days, by means of the internet. It is a much needed facility for people who have been traumatised by a narcissist! Anyone involved with a narc is in a very dangerous situation. These people dont care about anyone and want to destroy people and in many cases do!♥️♥️♥️🙏🙏🙏🙏

14 months no booze, don't miss anything about it. I don't have any cravings and I'm so glad that I've chosen to stop. I don't know why I didn't stop earlier than this... it's a poison that isn't beneficial whatsoever..

Excellent suggestions! Much appreciated!

So I say things like hey I never said that but I am 100% sure I never said that… Am I gaslighting when I never said that? I get told you’re gaslighting me and I am lost I don’t want to gaslight, I want to make sure my words are clear and when they are replayed incorrectly I defend them…

Hmmm.... But also this sounds like a normal disagreement too

i became a teacher to try and stop other kids from having such miserable school years, to my sad surprise there is very little a teacher can do to help!

I'm mixed race and since childhood Ihad to go to Japanese school where I experience bulling every single day. I hate it to the point of getting ill every morning. I grow up hating Japanese people. Turns of fate made me come to Japan to work and ended marringa Japanese guy. It couldn'tget worst and got divorsed but I'm still living here and enduring the racism of these people.

It finally clicked today that I am traumatized from the bullying that I experienced as a child. It’s my fault but at the same time it’s not something that I can help.

who thought gas and lighting could end up meaning nothing to do with either,whats happened to the english language,when it doesnt make any sense,im confused

Great video I drink heavy on any given Friday or a Saturday to blackout mode wondering what I said to other people actually all the time I don’t remember what I said this is the issue I have. I am a weekend kind of guy never been a daily drinker, and I’m sick of beating myself up every time I do something that normally isn’t me or even my personality

Thank you 😊

What if I won't treat high functioning depression?

Many children are bullied because they are already terrible Human beings and toxic or insufferable for their peers. At least that was how it was for me. Maybe some children aren't bullied all throughout school, or only by distinct notorious bullies, so they don't really deserve it, but most of the time, the children bullied are very different and forcing the other children to tolerate them without bullying would just make THEM experience trauma.

This is such a great video! Can you do one addressing the compassion fatigue experienced by educational professionals as well? Also, you mention a link to a quiz, but I don't see it. Could you direct me to it, please? Thanks!

It's bad when you have a millionaire in the family that doesn't even offer to help with the financial situation.. She invited us to her house once during Christmas. That's about it

What about when your therapist is the gaslighter? Just experienced this for confronting a therapist on their techniquest and a few other concerns. They tried to turn the table on me and accused me of doing what they were doing. It's an overwhelming mountain to know how to fight back when someone with a trusted title attacks you. Because they didn't want to explain their strategies in private therapy.

Women make men drink.

Weak people like the Narcissist Revenge! Strong people like the Super Empaths Forgives! Intelligent people Ignores! K

Thank you very much for your insight All i said to him was * your sister calls too much* mind you she is not his biological sister. She calls 13-150times a day and im like *why does she cal so much* he got defensive and loud * THAT'S MY SISTER* She's not, just bc your friends with his brother for 32 years does not make her your sis. He flipped it too, I'm trying to control him smh. I'm not trying to control you at all, answer my question. Its very disrespectful and she knows Im here. He doesn't understand my pov, supposedly. Its crazy, he tries to add things like your jealousy, im a grown man, your not my mother and im not. I wish he'd just answer the question and we can move on but he takes what im saying as an insult. Trust she knows exactly what she's doing and has know respect for our respect.

What does An ex-militant go through in the army? Cause my guy double blink, sleep w/a pistol at the pillow & think someone is on something strange cause the main lights are off (when he 1st came over), anger issues & address via the gun range, DON'T want me & then want me, have sex w/me then block me... 😳😭😩 neva dealt with someone like this!!

I have also gave up on some things, I don't know if it's apathy or just bring fed up. I decided to completely stop praying for so many people, they will never change. You can pray for parents, for Israel or even for grace. But what I'm tired of is caring for people that don't change their behaviors, let them pray for themselves. May Jesus Christ give me grace to not give up on people

Thanks for the upload been bullied most of my life that's caused my depression , anxiety issues , low self esteem , suicidal thoughts , even low testerone symptoms , diabetes , makes me having trouble trusting people .

You think High Functioning is tough? Wait until you get a medical diagnosis that states MDD. Find what medicine and treatment works for you and don't be a bad person and you will get through this.

don't worry you can try stress support by planet its very better

❤🎉 I Would Agree with a Counselling Outside Family and Adopted Family as Well because of Childhood abuse Between Siblings as Well.. Narcissism Disease of Century..!

I wishe1d i had friends it would really help after gettibg bullied in high school

I think the most common source of compassion fatigue nowadays, especially in the general population, is trauma, either experienced in the childhood, or more probably experienced recently. For example being around a manipulative person who constantly makes up situations and stories in order to get your sympathy and later you find out all along it was either a made up story or that they were the offender in that situation, or just from consistently treating you poorly and callously that you assume their cries for help are just attention seeking behaviors. Naturally, this is going to make that person less likely to extend compassion to others as this constant barrage of psychological is gonna exhaust the capacity for compassion.
