@@thememesheep8442 Not another 10 year old with the mom jokes. Ur Not funny, get that.
Yes
Please 🥺💚
Depression really sucks, I do not wish this kind of pain to anyone. Even to people I dont like.
Yeah.....this is....hell
Yes it suck but everything have a good side if you can overcome depresion you will be a better person and also can help other with depresion just like psych2go did!
@@peet7392 indeed!
Yeah its sucks
I too wish that it won't happen to anyone even my "enemies"
I don't really see them as enemies
I don't hate them, but they hate me
I just see them as people who need guidance
Someone who can make them a better person
Someone who can lead them to a better path in life
Just someone to be there for them
Idk maybe they are also experiencing depression like me
They just "hate" me as a way to let out their anger, to relieve some of that pressure
Or they just cant control their emotions and their emotions take control and their inner demons show
And I don't want them to feel like that
I want to help them change but I can't because if I cant change myself, how can I change them
Yeah depression sucks and I'm still seeking ways to get rid of it
I need help but I cant get help
They just don't.... understand
But thanks to Psych2Go I feel more comfortable
Like some of the pressure was removed and I feel happier
You learn to live with it- it becomes a part of you that you can't get rid of. Depression is a living hell
As a person who lived with depression, depression is so hard to describe, it's like you're feeling like a ghost in a human's body. It's just horrible.
Yess😕
How did you overcome it?
Suicidal depression for me. I felt like I was a useless lump, only good for making things worse. Cold and lost in Dark Woods with no way out. I wanted to unexist. I'm out of the Dark Woods now, but I can still feel them in the distance. Doubt I'll ever be completely free of depression, but I find my ways to move forward.
@@seanmcfadden3712 Which ways to move forward ?Can you describe it please ?
True
Up until I was about 19 I hadn't ever known depression. I led a happy and fulfilling life, had lots of interests and amazing friends, got good grades, etc... Life kind of hit me all at once when 2 years into my college degree I was dumped by my first girlfriend, losing my 3 year relationship just before I was scheduled to move into an unfinished basement 5 hours away from home (stupid).
I isolated myself, would only go outside to go to class and get groceries. To drown out the sadness I would work 16+ hours a day on classwork and content creation, which kicked the can down the road for the time being. I put my life into work, neglected making new friends or reconnecting with old ones, didn't take care of myself (gained 30 lbs). I knew the carbon monoxide detector wasn't working properly and didn't bother replacing it despite the fact that my desk was 10ft from the home's furnace. Even during times like spring break I sat inside for an entire week without speaking to a single person, online or otherwise. I never went to parties, was never invited to anything since I made no connections. The loneliness was crushing.
I finally had enough when my depression started to effect my work ethic and productivity. I hated my classes, had no passion for work or school, didn't care about anything. One night I sat staring at my keyboard for ~18 hours. Didn't eat, drink, sleep the whole time. I dropped out that next week, then moved back to my hometown. I'm 23 now, it's been over a year and just being above ground and getting sunlight again has made all the difference. I am eating home cooked meals now instead of the unhealthy garbage I ate at school, I have been trying to salvage the friendships that I neglected these past few years, been trying dating again. In a few months I am moving to a place that should be close to family, and have lots of potential for meeting new people.
Don't forget to treat yourself, even if you don't think you deserve it.
Hope you are doing good man! Hope you can get back on your feet!
Thank you for sharing your story and experiences. You went through a rough time. Be proud of the progress you've made and we hope you will continue doing so.
Something similar is happening to me. I'm so proud that you put yourself first and got out of that painful situation. It gives me hope that I will be able to feel truly happy one day.
omg thirty big fan and also make more vids there are never enough
Woah I didnt know about that situation. Hope you stay healthy!
Depression isn’t a fun thing and I really hope that anyone who suffers or suffered by it can overcome it. I would never wish this upon anyone. With that said I find it very brave that you wanted to share this! It isn’t easy to admit your darkest times and let others know or just share it in general. Be strong and stay safe! :)
@Creator [GD] I know that feeling I have been there and I agree it really sucks
Well I would wish it on other people because I'm a hateful bitter person and I only want to watch the world burn.
@@idreamindarknessandsleepto1475, I understand you but that's not a good mindset. I've been in a similar one. Same feelings, but directed to all of my classmates. I ain't gonna include my school story since it would take a lot of time to write it down and no one would be interested in it (+ calling me a pity seeker would be perfectly justified). Basically, I got 2 conclusions from that:
1) not everyone is an asshole. I just got unlucky to meet those first
2) the world is indeed cruel and unfair. The only thing I can do about it is to live through all the challenges the world throws at me.
I know it's 100% my personal experience but it might be a bit helpful.
P. S. Those empty lines are here to split the text up and make it easier to read.
Thank you 😊
Well im like, extremly shy when it comes to talk about my depression (in RL)
Let's just get to the point:
I told my mother a few times (like, 3) that i thought i had depression.
(Note: My mother also had Depression so she SHOULD know how it feels, anyway:)
So she didn't belived me, the first 2 times she laughed at me, and still, the 3 time, with a funny tone she said:
You don't have depression!
...OH REALLY? THEN WHY IN THE WORLD COULD I BE TELLING YOU THIS? TO GET ATTENTION FROM A REAL SERIOUS TOPIC?
*deep breath*
I even told her about my.... uh.... If you are kinda of a sensitive person, i think you wouldn't like to read this, just warning don't want to make ppl feel.. y'know
I told her about my ''suicidal thougths'' because they WERN'T exactly suicidal thougths, it was just me thinking:
-Huh, what would happend if i just jumped from this building?
-Would ppl even care about it?
the fact is, i didn't had eany intention to doit, or at least, not brave enough because of:
1-What would happen if i actually survive? Would my family be dissapointed?
2-Well.. Death is death, what would happen?
3-What if later on, my life turns great and i wasted it?
i kinda wanted to doit but not really felt like this, more like a:
-Why was i born? more than a: -Why do i live?
and these days, i don't even know if i have depression anymore or not, Because i DIDN'T really knew if i had depression or not, just watched a lot of videos/test and it's a bit SUSSY to me that in all of that it says i have it. And even more because i feel like what they say.
So basically my life it's just an endless downstairs. Why do i say this? Well...
-My family has teared apart till the point it's just mostly me, my mother, my father, And my grandma (my grandfather dies when i was just 7, and what it really hit me is that the doctors said he was doing good... but well things like this happens)
-Im getting worse and worse at school
I NEED *WANT* TO GET HELP BUT MY DAMM FATHERS WON'T BELIVE ME, and im also a minor so it's not like i can go and say to.. idk one of those telephone numbers to help ppl with depression etc:
-Hey
-Yes, how can i help you?
-I have depression and im 14, please help i wanna snap out of exsistence in this right intsant.
-...
So yeah... im 14 and spanish, sry if my english it's bad, i just really need to let all of this out some times, i CAN'T keep it all, all the time, because btw, minei think it's the ''smilling depression'' one, basically you act like if you don't have it when you do.
Oh yeah, i have a LOT more of stuff to tell, but:
1-Im too lazy to doit
2-IDK if yt will allow me to even send this comment cuz too long lol
3-It's LITERALLY 5:04 and im kinda tired.
So uh, im just gonna leave this here, respond if you want, maybe i will answer you, (probably not, no offens) maybe not, idk man idk what to do anymore i just wanna go to sleep rn and never open my eyes again.
Honestly the thing that scares me the most about depression is the fact that you don't understand if you have depression till a specific age or something..
Then overcoming it is really difficult as well
Yea…
yeah..and no body around you understands either...
For me it was at age 22.
I knew immediately because I had an extremely drastic change from elementary to high school. It's not exclusive to older age, but most of the time it is
I'm 16 and I'm getting therapy.
Only because my parents noticed my cuts.
I have had depression since about age 14. At 55, I have learned that pets, physical activity, & even going to the local dog park helps. Keep your mind focused on something other than yourself. I even started a new sport this summer: kayaking!
Good shit man, that's what we like to see!
Could you tell me what are the symptoms of depression? Can it come with loosing someone you love, like your pet?
@@crispinflowers9173 Yes
I agree. If it wasn't for physical activity i wouldn't be typing this comment today
@@Calisthenics_Enjoyer :(
I’m glad that you described depression as a “dystopia.” I keep hearing the term tossed about in relation to our current society/current events, and also plenty of fiction. But hardly anyone knows that those with depression live in a dystopia every single day. Just because this dystopia is in our heads doesn’t make it any less real. Or any less oppressive.
yes. it’s such a beautiful yet bleak description of what it’s like to live with depression
To anyone who’s fighting your own silent battle right now, please stay strong. This too, shall pass. ♡
@Not RickRoll 😭👇 Shut up
me who has been waiting for years:
this is so hard. i have school tomorrow, im so scared. i cant live like this anymore. help.
@@wow01516 Don't be scared! You're gonna make it through and this is your sign. Goodluck :)
@@wow01516 Well then, even if I might be intruding into your life, you don't have to live like that :)
I am here to adopt you, young one
When I was 11-12, I was at my worst. I cut off my family and friends, I starved myself, i stopped trying in class assignments, i had suicidal thoughts everyday, i stopped particpating in my hobbies, I drowned myself in gaming and tv shows and it eventually led me to cut four lines across my arms, two each arm. I was planning to do more until my family found out. When they did, they were devastated and wanted to know the source. Turns out it was the cause of subconscious bullying from my peers. I was so deep into my depression I did not even notice that what my classmates were doing was wrong. I remember having a talk to my teacher about the bullying and it stopped. This was the start of my recovery.
My parents stopped neglecting me, my father did his best to stay off his alcohol and they all made sure I didn’t cut myself again. I reconnected with my friends and hobbies. I worked harder in my studies. I started getting into physiology and I’m doing a lot better now.
However, just this year, my grandpa died and my other grandpa received brain damage after a nasty fall. Both my parents are in a severe depression but whenever I try to get them to help themselves they refuse. They are to stubborn. It has gotten to the point my dad attempted suicide while was intoxicated and my mother was thinking about slitting her wrists. How do I help people that do not want it and are to stubborn to get professional help? I don’t want my parents to do the same thing I did.
Depression sucks, there are times I couldn't even change my clothes for months. Working at home and isolation maybe contributes to it
The worst part of depression is not being able to share with anyone!
You want to tell someone but you can't and you don't know why
(Offers big hug) When I had suicidal depression, I tried to tell my parents, but my Dad thought I was "just looking for attention". Not exactly wrong, but definitely not right. One of the most important things I learned on my path to recovery is that you need to keep moving, even if it's only slowly. The Dark Woods can only truly claim you if you give up. Keep finding reasons, even the small, seemingly selfish ones, to stick around a little longer. Caring for a pet. An upcoming game/book/film release. A webcomic you follow. Even just a nice meal you're looking forward to.
Even spite, if that helps. Consider everything that is making you feel like you don't deserve to go on. Think about how good it will feel to prove all those things wrong. You deserve to be alive. You deserve to be happy. You deserve to exist! You are valid. You are awesome, and all those things trying to stop you are just jealous!
I hope what I said makes sense. If you are in the Dark Woods, keep moving. You will see a clear sky again. Just keep moving, one step at a time.
@@seanmcfadden3712 thank you so much
It was Soo sweet of you
It really helps!
@@seanmcfadden3712 that was so good
I think you can be a motivational speaker
Hope you are doing better now
I feel you I tell my best friend and she listens well, but later I regret telling her and I don't know why, it has become a habit and I still keep telling her I can't help my self
@@seanmcfadden3712 I love your analogy of the Dark Woods. Depression does feel like a dark, ominous forest is attempting to lure us in, put us under some kind of paralyzing spell, and eventually devour us if we stay too long and give up the struggle to get out of there. We have to resist its siren call and keep it moving. Your suggestions make sense. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. You encouraged me a great deal today. 🙏
P.s. I agree with what "Hey What's New" said...that you should be a motivational speaker. You could help a lot of people. Much love to ya!
You should do a series like this but you could have viewers send in their stories. You can pick the ones that are the best, write the script and narrate it. I think it would show that so many people go through this and would help so many people. Like if you agree so they can see this :)
YES! I definitely have my own story to share.
I third this
YES!
Yes
I agree with this
7:08 being accepted and expected like that is really mood-making. Just hearing the words "I'm glad you came" or "it wouldn't be the same without you" is already making me happy
My best friend was diagnosed with anxiety this year and seeing them like that was heart breaking. Nonetheless, they are doing much better now. Always remember to look out for your loved ones
That’s amazing I’m so happy for you!^^ anxiety is tough I’m glad they are better now and yes I agree with this message:)
Agree, it's hard to see someone you care about change like that and just feel powerless to help them. But it's good that they are doing better and that you look out for them and do what you can.

Your profile :,)
Since people are sharing their personal story of depression, let me charm in as well. My depressing isn't over yet, however it's getting better. For about 2 years I've been in constant sadness, mostly because I lost my self worth and started hating myself, the exact reason I don't know. I used to be a very socialized person and would talk to everyone but these two years I slowly started isolating myself, and in class I would act all fine and happy even though I was in a lot of pain. I fell love with a girl during my depression and that made me happy for a while but keeping my feelings for her to myself for a while started weighing down on me and soon my depression used my feelings for her as a way to put myself down. With thoughts like: "I'm too ugly for her" "I'm not good enough and she hates me". Every time she ignored me or felt bad, it would be a validation that I as a person suck and nobody will ever like me. While many people gained weight, the opposite happened for me. Some days Id only eat a slice of burnt pizza with bottle and bottles of alcohol, some days I didn't eat a single thing but only shit amounts of alcohol to numb myself. When I didn't manage to get my hands on alcohol I slit my wrist to punish myself for being a loser. That's when I finally told my best friend about what I have been up to, regardless she hugged me and told me that I am one of the most amazing person she knows and she made me promise to her that I'd stop cutting myself. That's when I confessed to my crush and got rejected. That's when my depression peaked and I really really wanted to slit my wrist but I kept my promise and wrote songs about my feelings instead. I took a break from school for about a week to get myself together, started being more open about my depression to friends I trust, regardless everyone supported me and helped me out. My self loath isn't entirely over yet, but I'm trying my best, I hope this story motivates someone else to get better and well
You are really cool. Opening up to someone is really hard and takes much trust and you even confessed knowing it could be a "no"... You are definitely an inspiration, I'm pretty sure it was harder than what I can imagine right now.. I still wish you the best of luck in your future and hope you will lead the life you want to lead
@@linafischer9373 thanks a lot, yeah it was hard, but everyone deals with difficult situations at some point in their life but we all have to push through and if we make it, we get stronger than before

I've had depression, got rid of it and got it again. The second time was worse but managed to get rid of it, I'm now a little over 4 months depression free :D
So proud and happy for u 🙌🏽🙌🏽
how are u now and how do u get rid of it i’m dealing wit this and it’s hard
How do you cope?
how are you going to say this but not say what worked for you?
When are just too overwhelmed to get out of bed, when you are angry for no real reason, when you want to stress eat, when you can't sleep or your days and nights get turned around. Don't wait. See a doctor before angry thoughts become delusions, hallucinations, or self harm or lashing out. If you've been depressed basically your whole life, you will be amazed at what it feels like to feel normal or balanced, and not triggered or crying all the time.
Depression is soo confusing one minute I am happy and energetic and then I just feel drained and sad...but Psych2Go has helped me be more open. Thank you for teaching me to be positive and HAPPY TEACHERS DAY love from India ❤

@@sharonsam2674 Hello :)
Hii, love from India🇮🇳
I still struggle with depression, but thankfully there is light in this world. I wish those that are depressed, a sense of purpose and happiness. 😊
I started having Depression when I was 14, around my high school years. It was hard. Having it is like a ball of chain that cuffs you all the time or a dark cloud that stays above you. Now that I’m in my 30’s, I did overcome it by working my passion for writing novels. Once in a while, though, the memories still haunt me. For anyone who is currently going through it or anyone who did fight it, I recommend to listen to music and be with your loved ones. I understand that it’s hard to talk about but sometimes you need to.
I got depressed when I was 10 lasted 6 years I'm fine now tho (also sometimes I just watched TH-cam in my bed till sometimes 5pm and this was when I was 10)
I was never a happy person. I've always tried to hide my feelings from others by trying to pretend i'm happy. I was never good at anything i do and think i am a very bad person. I tried to take my life several times. But i realized that waiting for death would be less worse than seeing my family suffer because of me. Despite being a pessimistic person. I hope things get better for me someday.
Let's find you a good doctor. Don't give up that living. That's not called living.
I'm a little better now
@@marciosantos3611 i feel you. I'm a little better too.

It indeed shows that depression is surely a thing not to be ignored... Take care of yourselves 🤍
im 13 right now and i have so many hobbies to distract myself from "sadness" hobbies like : drawing, crafting, writing stories, drawing comics, cooking, piano, digital painting, playing videogames, and exploring nature (yes that many.)
Big thing that helped me personally was staying active. It might sound dumb at first glance, but the body is a whole system and physical health can impact mental health as well as vice versa. Slow jogging half a mile, or even just walking will help a lot.
If you're reading this comment, one small positive thought can change your whole day & believe you can and you’re halfway there ✨. God bless you, and may your dreams come true, stay safe and have a wonderful day.

Honestly, almost every video Psych2go makes is what I can highly relate to.
I've fought depression for a long time, I've tried everything but nothing works. But I found a solution. My solution so far has been to just accept my depression, accept it can't change and use it to gain endurance and appreciation. I no longer take things for granted. I simply endure my miserable existence, and I live it giving thanks for all the things I have and help I've received along the way.
As a person that has severe depression and anxiety, thank you so much for doing this video. This video gives me hope and I really need hope. In my opinion, hope is one of the hardest things to get. Pls make more videos like this. It really make my day
"While your are doubting yourself, someone admiring your strength"....
So face all the problem like warrior
I'm so sorry that you reached a point of self-harm..
I myself have never done it cause I was always to afraid to, but at the same time I feel like no one would understand what goes through my head, unless I pushed myself to that point....
Stay Strong to everyone who feels this way and I hope that all the love in the world encircles you one day..

I have a friend who lives with anxiety and depression. As challenging as this is to understand, I can't imagine how difficult this is for my friend. Realising that the overcoming process can only come from within, that's something out my control. The only thing which I have control over, is just to continue to be there for them. Speaking as an outsider, how they overcome depression and anxiety on the daily can only involve great fortitude. Their strength inspires me. They are a superhero in my eyes. I know they've got this!
You’re so lucky to not have depression and anxiety it’s harder when you suffer from both especially at the same time. I feel so empty it’s very painful and I feel like everyone I love will leave me and that people just are nice because they pity me I’m so scared of life and scared of myself
I hope everyone suffering from Depression realises that their worth is more than they think and overcome all their battles.
I been under depression for quite some time, and it really hit me back in 2019. I remember lashing out at my friend's and family to the point where I was recommended to see a therapist. I still see my therapist to this day, and she had helped me improve myself. Then, I found this channel randomly, and thought I'd give it a whirl. I had learned so much from all these videos, and have an easier time identifying bad people in my life, as well as using these videos as ways to self improve myself. I thank you guys for keeping up these helpful videos, even though I hit another depression in 2020. I learned that even with all the tools, depression would still take a toll eventually. I been living a happier time, thanks to my therapist and this channel.
Thank you for sharing your story with us
I dont really remember how long i was in depression, but i cured for 3 months with a psychotherapist this summer. At the first meeting i thought "How can i overcome this, if talking is just talking? (Plus i am an introvert, making this even worse)", but when i felt better we stopped. It feels like being freed from the parasite that drained your energy and emotions for a long time. The worst parts are that you can't tell others because you fear to be judged, your brain always predicts the worst outcomes in any situation, you eat a lot (or don't eat, like it was in my scenario), don't sleep until it's night or almost morning (or don't sleep at all), your emotions are unstable, you are demotivated all the time, everything seems irritating, you are trying to repress your emotions and etc. All this mentaly hurts you, and you can't get rid of it without help. In my scenario, i made the first step. I panicked inside, my anxiety went crazy af, but on the weekend we finally went to psychologist where the diagnose was submitted. Now i feel better, but other things from childhood still hurts me. But this is the other story.
In conclusuon: if you have depression (or think so), its now or never to get some help, or have a conversation with a therapist/psychologist
(P.S: sry if bad english, i am not from europe or america)
Depression along with anxiety sucks especially when you don’t have many to go to. I hope all those that suffer with them can overcome it
I experience depression when i started to go to school for the first time ( 7-8-9 years old), not bc of school, is bc i had nightmares from animation series on tv. When my depression ended was when i was 10. One video game saved my life and i still can't believe my depression got away, bc it was so hard to forget about my nightmares. Great video, keep it up that great work👍
Thanks for sharing. How are you doing now?
This got me in my feels and made me think. I would never want anyone to go though depression cos it really does suck , I had one of my worst night a couple days ago. For anyone else going through this battle stay strong and keep on moving forward things WILL get better in the end it just takes time 🖤
I hope you guys will have a podcast. I find Amanda’s voice soothing and relaxing. I can only slide to dreamland through her fascinating voice. Her pacing and speed is so calming. Kudos!
Im afraid that the second you get to know how depression feels its impossible to completly recover from it

For me, depression's the definition of how I live. I feel like I'm different, programmed to be unhappy. I've got everything one could want. Wife, kids, job, house, car. And yet, I'm at the same point. As far as I remember, I can count on one hands the days that I've felt like I'm truly happy. No just in an "OK" state. But really happy. Air still feels like a cage even with the therapy against anxiety I've done. Medics are working just enough so I don't give up. This and my family. Today, I've called for help again. Giving a last shot to end this torment with little hope. I wish I'll be able to write a comment under one of your vids in a year, stating how everything's changed or is changing.
How u doing now?
thanks that my brain is nnot programmed to be unhappy
Currently going through depression and watching things like this does seem to help out a bit. Makes me feel less alone when I normally feel like no one wants to listen to me
Hey so ...I was wondering what would a person in depression expect from others? My dad has depression and he seems to be sad all day everyday and he always sleeps most of the time except when working ...I tried talking and trying to cheer him up by telling everyday stories and funny things but it seems like it is of no use as he is too downtrodden to process anything I say ...is there any way to cheer him up even a little bit??btw I'd love to listen to you and know what's troubling you ! You just have to find someone to listen to ...please hang in there for sometime❤️
@@princessjoe834 I don’t know if this will help or not but I just wanted someone who was willing to listen to me, not interrupt, not tell me they understand, just someone to listen to me. I think you have to just be real with him and tell him you wanna know what’s going on and just see what he has to say
@@princessjoe834 what was troubling me was I met this girl a year ago where we had a plan to get married and have kids and all that jazz but way more in depth than that. We recently got a cat after sharing a flat for 9 months or so. We moved into that flat from a different city and I did it all just for her. I came home one day after visiting my parents in my home town and she straight up told me that she didn’t love me anymore. I loved that cat, and I had to say goodbye to him for the last time as well as accept the fact that life was going to be completely different. I moved back to my parents and I’m still sleeping in their living room at nights trying to find a job and find purpose in life. Worst thing is it doesn’t seem like anyone wants to listen to me, everyone has a counter argument or they tell me they understand what I’m going through. But no one will understand having everything one day, and having it all be ripped away from you in less than an hour.
@@Gummy-bp7ch my dad has a quite similar situation ...but the thing is he keeps saying he doesn't want to work anymore I'm guessing it's probably due to depression(it's a 9am to 9pm workplace too).. ..it's like he is a completely different person after staying alone in a distant land for work for 3 years ...guess 3 years of loneliness was quite a lot now that I think about it ..it must have been terrifying to work at a place where you don't know anyone or the language they speak and the culture too ! I'm at fault here and I reallywant to find a way to heal those wounds created but I just can't seem to find a way to do so...I hope you find a way to overcome depression too ! I've been at the edge of my mental health(I have an eating disorder which is very hard on me) for the past few months and finding something you want to do really helps overcoming the slump and helps distract the mind ! Hope this helps
@@princessjoe834 thanks man. You got this, sometimes people just need more time or to just know someone is willing to be there for them. I think I’m starting to develop an eating disorder too, I can barely stomach regular meals, but I’ve been through this sort of thing before. Depression isn’t a competition, it’s a universal struggle, so understanding you might get where someone is coming from could help but you also need to be aware that you may not understand. This shit is hard, we’ll all manage, but giving up is the worst thing someone can do
Over the past year I was feeling immense amount of anxiety, I was usually the funny guy going out of his way to brighten peoples day, I can only imagine what everyone was feeling when I was much quieter and sadder, I have been trying to make a break, hopefully I can change something before it’s to late! Your changing many peoples lives, wish the best!
I've had anxiety basically my whole life, but now I'm fighting against depression as well. It's been months and it's tiring, but I am not giving up. I don't wish this to anybody, depression is really painful.
I have suffered with depression since middle school as well. Throughout my life, it has lingered all the way until the end of my 20’s. Some days are worse then others. I currently have a therapist which helps a lot. Thank you for this kind video. It made me cry because I felt this deeply❤️
Depression is something I wouldn’t wish upon my worst enemy
It sucks
It sucks a LOT
But remember
You can do it! You can overcome it!
Sometimes depression feels like a chain that let you go sometimes and then pull you buck again
Thank you. I was feeling very suicidal after battling depressions since 12 years old and felt that at 25 there doesn't seem to be much hope anymore and that the only way to finally end the pain is to literally end myself. Feels oddly warming to hear you still struggled against depression in your 20s and that better days did come.
I hope you're feeling better. I first got depression last year from June to November. It came back in January, March 4th-24th, and most of April until the final week. It returned during mid-July, August 4th-7th, 20th, and near the end of the 31st, my birthday, but at least that day was mostly good. Finally, it occurred 8 times in Sept., and 7 times in October of this year. Anyway, depression is very hard on a person and their mental health. I know how you feel.
@@kjprodouctions9050 Can feel your pain it ruined 3yrs of my life but shaped me as a person I can't stop admiring and being proud off. Hope you'll not lose hope & fight through it like i did. At the end it's all worth fighting for the life you must've be craving right now. Mine was MDD ( like double Intensity of what some another clinically depressed person can feel).
From Craving for lil moments of happiness, to Fighting with it everyday with my most energy possible, to Overthinking & Feeling every sort of frustration & helplessness, to Craving for liveliness & feeling my existence to being sucidal, to Convincing & Commiting myself for never choose Escape as an Option, to feel normal & happy, to heal & able to love myself again and to now living a normal fulfilled life I've craved at a time.
This is helpful because I always have a hard time realizing everyone struggles, I tend to imagine everyone doing better somehow so it's nice to hear people I wouldnt expect have gone through hard times as well
I love this channel as it brings everyone with problems, and some of those ppl just want reassurance, positive comments or just small advice that might help them....this channel's benefits is even related to the comments which play a role in mental health positivity
having depression is awful.. when you’re having a good time it feels like you can’t just feel the joy or like something is pulling you back saying “ no you don’t wanna do that! “ even tho you do and it’s super fun.. and when people notice it’s even worse.. please take depression and any other medical issues should be taken seriously and you should seek help immediately
Yes please. Do more like these. I am also dealing with depression and anxiety and the harder I try to manage it the worse it gets. In my thirties now and decided to go back to school and attend therapy but am finding myself in those distraction phases a lot and my distructive behaviour has a hold on me. Helplessness is creeping up. I hope I can overcome all this. Wish me luck
Everyone remember this: Each ending has a happy ending, if your not happy that means it's not the end yet
Or
“Every problem will always have an ending” but yours is still good

To the people who currently are depressed and feel like you have no place in the world, know that it WILL get better, I know you're probably tired of people saying this, but it's true. I went through depression for a while, and even considered suicide.. but I'm still standing strong, and you should too. Take a deep breath, count to 3, and stay calm. You can go through it, it will get better, it just takes time.
thank you. we need you
Depression is a beast that I hope no one else has to fight
Something I think is great is how she has had depression and has adhd. I can HEAVILY relate to both, it’s just nice to me
It’s good that you don’t have depression anymore and helping people by giving examples of different things and saying what they should do if the examples are related also keep up the awesome work
Thanks you. I started going on therapy just because of depression. Now things get better and better. There are some days that I feel the depression inside me, but fortunately it's not like it used to be
Thanks, ive had depression for a few years, i hope everyone with depression gets out if it soon
I have suffered with depression on and off for what feels like most of my life. Sometimes, like when I was in my teens, this was displayed as anger (the typical angry young man) to some severe dark periods later on, when even medication didn't seem to help, and just seemed to make me even more lethargic. Even now, in my early 60's I feel the cold hand of depression grabbing me on occasions, and I still have to fight it off. Luckily I have a good family around me now who, often without them knowing, can lift the worst of the enveloping darkness surrounding me, and give me back control of the bad days. I now also have the ability to recognise the signs of depression in others close to me, and I always try my best to help them dig their way out of it, as they have done for me in the past! I appreciate everyone who has been there for me now, and will always have time for them when they need it! 💕
In the past few years with my mind getting to its worst, this channel has always raised my spirits. The animation, music, the soothing voice.....all the things that make me feel like I am more then just waiting for life to end. Thanks psi for giving me something to smile about.
A year ago I attempted suicide and I failed. Went through therapy to get over issues I had been dealing with over the past 22 years. The one thing that has helped me up to this day, was knowing what my emotions are, what causes them and what I could do to overcome them if needed. This method has helped me a ton both in better and healthier communication with other humans and also self-compassion. I hope everyone facing depression to be able to overcome it one day.
Depression is no joke…it’s such a strange empty feeling and it makes me think about all the things I’ve missed out on in life from being sad and empty :/
I LOOOOVE the fact you are a gamer, it's really a differential, specially using games arts.
It's attracting a lot of gamers that feel just like that and rly need help instead of only and always running away in a virtual world (just like myself).
CONGRATS, you are on the right way.!

Depression: *Exists*
Me: Finally a worthy opponent our battle will be legendary
This is not how it works dude
Have you done the side quests yet dude?
@@meisstupid1831 How does it work then? I don't think I get it.
@@AlexSpy3DS it's kinda more like you cannot control it, it's not a boss fight, but more of an effect, a very depressing one
@@AlexSpy3DS
as a severely depressed person, i can say that it goes more like this
Depression: Babe, it's 4 am, time to remind you of how miserable your life is to the point you want to kill yourself
Me: ..yes...honey...
youve provided such educational content and a wonderful community. its so horrible you had to deal with that without knowing what to do but youve done an amazing job of providing people like me understand so we can try and help our loved ones. i thank you for that, we all do. i hope your mental health stays in the good state it is now, you deserve to have a good life. that goes for everyone tbh. youre worth it even if you think you arent, there is no one like you and there will never be another you. keep going, you're doing great :)
Adequate hydration, exercise, regular sleep schedule, no drugs or alcohol, simple projects, prescription medicine, good nutrition, supplements such as fish oil and D3, dialectic behavioral therapy…you must throw EVERYTHING at it!
i'm very happy for you! you are so brave for fighting with the depression and winning and sharing what you've gone through!
Thank you for sharing your story! I've loved this channel for years and knowing that it started in a dark place, but is gradually getting brighter is truly inspiring. I hope your journey continues to go well.
Thank you for sharing this, Psych2Go. This will probably get buried but when I was 15, I had a partner who was depressed and suicidal. I didn't seek outside help, but instead took it upon myself to be their sole caregiver. I felt it was my responsibility to safe my life. I was always in a constant state of fear and worry, always on high alert. 9 years later, I feel like my mind is still stuck in that mindset, feeling like my whole world is crashing down around me when in reality things are going pretty well. Some days are good days but some days I feel like my anxiety has complete control over my every thought and emotion..I've finally started seeking therapy now. I don't want to let my anxiety control my life anymore.
You know what sucks? Having depressing , childhood taruma , eating disorders etc and mostly being there for everyone and having no one by your side and people saying "you're too young for such things!", "I have given you everything you have no reason to act like this" . And the worst part it when you try to get help you just get called "lier" and other things. Parents don't understand that the internet saves and we're all just kids thinking about killed yourself telling others not to do it . I have had depressing since I was 6 . This world is something else. We're all just hanging onto a rope for dear life. I wish everyone who's going through the same thing as me to know that your not alone. We might be strangers we might never met each other every but we're still family since we're all in this together. Please don't give up . Your strong and brave keep going you'll get through it I promise. ❤
Comes a point when depression brings your mind to such a dark, dismal place that death stops seeming scary and starts seeming preferable to the tragedy your life became. That's when you reach out and seek help.

The other day, a very close friend told me he is depressed, and I run to his house to comfort him while listening to one of your videos. I wanted to thank you, because thanks to you I've been uble to comfort my friend, and the path I was planning about for a long time (to become a psychologist) became more clear, I wanna help people.
Hey Rage, thank you so much for sharing. We really appreciate you helping your friend and sharing our content with him. We hope you both are okay. Best of luck with becoming a psychologist :) We need more people like you
Same bro I wanna be a psychologist! 😭🤚✨👑😍😩❤️
Bless you
I've never been diagnosed with depression, but I can relate to quite a lot from this video.
It was really a heart-warming, touching video, I'm glad to see such amazing animations like that💗
This is absolutely amazing to watch. I’ve been feeling my self slip into a depression hole again and this really helped to know that it’s going to be ok. Thank you for making this for those who don’t know where to go or how to get help :)
I would like to thank you for the commitment and affection you put into each of these videos. It's comforting to know that such an important and crucial topic can be openly discussed today! Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for sharing your story. You are awesome. I used to struggle with serious depression because I feel I was born in the wrong body and my whole life I've felt lonely and different and like I dont fit in. I am 45 and im really starting to feel better about myself and love myself. Thanks again for sharing! ❤
Yes Amanda, MORE! Out of all the videos I’ve watched on P2G, this one spoke to me the most. Thank you for sharing your own experience. Peace
This channel has been such a help in the past few months for myself. Thank you for sharing your story, bravery and talents.
I have experienced depression for about 2 years now. I learned that training yourself to always fight the negative emotions and void in your head seems to work even if it doesn’t cheer you up. I learned that when you go against the negative thought pattern that seems natural, you are rewarded with a stronger mind when you keep fighting. Fighting a negative thought pattern or an empty void that seems unnatural to yourself, but life seems to reward you for it. Always find things that connect to your soul, finding your soul always keeps your depression away. Find the things that resonate with you, and follow things with your soul. Living with your heart and soul keeps you in the “real world” away from the “fake and empty” world that depression seems to put you in. It takes a lot of training to do this, nobody said it’s easy, but when you fight a negative mindset that seems natural, life rewards you, when you follow your soul, heart, and passion, life also rewards you.
Keep training and when your depression does come back, just remember what you learned in training
i love this story so much, for some reason, it just gives me a sense of hope in a way i can't explain. thanks for your amazing videos psych2go!
I've been depressed myself for the last 20 years or so, and I have no expectations of ever getting better. Sure, you can tell me all the tips and tricks to overcome it, but it won't change a damn thing. Why? Because to get me to follow them, you'd first have to convince me that happiness is worth all the extra effort I have to put in to get there. Depression may be horrible, but it's also easy and familiar.
Thanks for sharing. I didn’t learn the word depression until my older years. I might of been depressed through my younger years but I suppressed it. It really hit these few years after trauma.
Thank you very much for this video. I'm experiencing similar conditions at the moment, so it's very helpful to hear a story of somebody else overcoming his/her depression, so that I know now what to do or at least in what direction to move to live a healthy life again.
Good luck and thank you for your work!
I can't imagine this was easy to share. Thank you. I hope this video helps everyone to seek their own solutions to overcoming depression!
Thank u for helping lots of people! Your Chanel really makes a difference ❤️
Thank you. I really needed this a lot. I hadn't realized there was a difference between what can truly make your mood improve, and what is a temporary distraction. It made me realize that I was filling my day with temporary distractions vs actual mood-altering activities. Also, your animation style in this video is very relaxing and pretty!
Thank you for your honesty. For putting out there your vulnerability. That's so courage of you for sharing your own experience with depression
Yes! This was an enlightening story, and I appreciate Amanda for her sharing. Her soothing, calm voice is one of the many reasons I love this channel. So, thank you...
T J: I find Amanda's voice very soothing too. It feels comforting.
This was soo helpful you don't even know how. Listening to someone share their experiences is the best thing that can help you to get back and not give up. And I'm so happy for you that you are now able to meet a professional and have regular therapy. I hope you continue shining bright like this everywhere you are. We love you ❤️. I'm really glad to have found this channel that taught me more about depression and how to heal in my teens itself. Glad I didn't have to wait for so long. That's what makes you the best channel ever. ❤️❤️
I love you all.
AWW thank you so much!! We're happy to help you. How are you doing now?
@@Psych2go I'm doing better than before. And I have my hope back that I can do more better in future. Just being patient with myself. You are the therapy I didn't have to pay for. 🥺😍❤️
I feel like my life was just shown to me through this video, like I'm currently going to therapy and getting help with depression and anxiety. I have a ton of trouble doing anything that requires effort, even drawing, but I'm learning more about myself and my mental health everyday. Thank you for sharing this 🙂
As a person with depression I will describe it in my way
You feel like crying ,not talking to others, alone, afraid to tell anyone, feels like your actions are worthless and doesn't feel like doing anything. You want to let it out but you think others will judge you which leads to more overthinking. You spend your time to make the expectations of your parents also you have a fake smile. *You want to feel happiness* That's your goal. searching video related to "Watch this video of your feeling sad* You just feel like eating, sleeping, living and being on your phone is like you don't want your life to be repeated everyday. Expecting for your future to be rich, hanging out with friends, walks, happiness and your dream life. *Which is not coming true* but you still try *again again* you know it's not happening but you still try to get that future. IM updating later
I don't usually expose myself in the comments but this video hit me differently so I thought to share my own experience.
I started feeling lonely, tired, apathetic, and lethargic from the start of the Covid outbreak due to various reasons. Being at home every day had an awful effect on my life: I was feeling tired all the time, didn't want to do anything other than playing video games and looking at social media. I also quit my workout plan without even realizing it: I wasn't living anymore. Some days I was feeling so down that I didn't want to get out of bed. In addition to that, I wasn't studying at all. So, I came to the end of this academic year with only very few exams passed. Only recently, I identified all of that as depression, thanks to the help of my Maths tutor from my high school days. He gave me plenty of useful tips on how to start recovering and feel a little better. Still today I'm in the process of resetting my priorities and goals, of starting to pursue my hobbies and passions again to keep me busy and distracted from those negative thoughts and to not waste any more time. To all of you feeling down: be strong and stay safe ^^
Thanks a lot for sharing your experience with high detail. I wish you all the best!
I'm happy and glad to hear that, you escaped from this hellish experience. And also thanks for sharing it ^-^ Also to anyone who are struggling this problem......Bless ya and hope it ends ♡

I feel that you can never get rid of depression completely. You can just ease the symptoms, always looking towards the light.
Woah, I'm really sorry you had to go through all this, but you still maneged to overcome it, and make a whole youtube channel for people with the same problem, a true MVP!
