THE TRUTH ABOUT DEPRESSION
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ส.ค. 2024
- Meet my bestfriend, Sarah Lopez-Pozas. She was diagnosed with MDD (Major Depressive Disorder) and GAD (General Anxiety Disorder). I invited her for this video so she can share her experiences (about mental health) and give us a wider perspective about this subject. Hope you can all take time to watch the entire video.
__________
ADDITIONAL NOTES FROM SARAH:
1. Find people who are in the same boat and build a support system. I have one at work and we learn from each other a lot.
2. Try out and find out what things complement or compromise your treatment. Different things work for different people. Some coped up by changing their diet to no proccessed foods, others tried meditation or prayer, others were able to wean off their meds this way.
3. Get off social media for certain periods of time. I think social media is a great tool, and you can get back on it when stable.
4. Do not compare yourself to others. Others may have gone through worse than yours, but you are a different person, with a different brain, with different upbringing, with a different system. Accept this and work on your health. All will be okay in time.

HOW TO SEEK FOR HELP?
1. If you are in school, you can reach out to the school psych, that's normally at a cheaper cost or sometimes even free.
2. Psychiatrists are those who can prescribe meds. The most affordable are in the public mental health centers. Look for one in your city to book easily.

Couldn't agree more.
I really don't know if I had a depression before. Pero yung symptoms are all similar to mine. I feel worthless, yung gigising ka sa umaga umiiyak ka tapos anytime of the day bigla kang iiyak and felt like nobody loves you. I had a big problem back then and ayoko sya iopen up even sa family ko kasi ayoko sila mabother. Dun nagstart lahat. Nanginginig ako. Tapos may one time nasa mall ako, naglalakad ako tapos hindi ko maramdaman yung sarili ko. Para akong nakalutang. I was so thankful na back then may taong kumausap sakin. Then I share it to him, I just cried and tell him my story. I also pray din na sana mawala na yung nararamdaman ko. Now, medyo nararamdaman ko padin sya but not to the extent na malala like before.
It is very important for us to reach out to those people na nakakaramdam nito. Wag natin sila ijudge agad, lalo na sa social media na madalas dun sila nagoopen up. Most of them use social media as a channel to express how they feel cos they feel worthless and no one will listen to them. Give a shoulder to cry on and an ear to listen to them because they need that. The feeling of being safe and cared about. The feel of being valued and loved.
Thank you so much Ben for this video. ❤️ You're a big help and inspiration to us.
Kuya ben!! Thank you for using your channel to give awareness about depression!! We need more of you/mental health advocates to educate people about mental illness. Let’s all stop the stigma and RAISE MORE AWARENESS! Thank you to the both of you! 😊💛
I’ve been suffering depression until now but I know I can get through this. Things will be better for me, not for me but for everyone who are having this. It’s a matter of time before everything sets in place. I love this video. It makes sense. More power to you Ben, God bless you.
Bakit ganito yung mga contents mo Kuya Ben? Walang tapon, may informative, inspirational, may entertaining. Wow. Keep it up!
While I watching this Video Kuya Ben.I feel na kahit konti ay nabawasan ang mga nararamdaman ko.Thank you so much po.Keep being you Kuya and I/we will support you for your journey .Thank you for this kuya dahil feeling ko may naka usap na ako na nakaka intindi sa akin.Keep safe and God Bless po Kuya Ben
Ben thanks for making this kind of video. Sadly, I’ve been also experiencing trauma, anxiety and depression. I have been talked to psychiatrist as well. It’s really hard to overcome these things. I could say that this is the worst thing that could happen to someone. So much painful and tiring situation could experience. There are times thinking to do suicide and I keep on asking God and questioning Him. I felt that I made the biggest sin.
It’s been 6 years of trying to overcome these things. I know little by little.
For those people who are experiencing these things, I know it’s really hard, painful, tiring, and i know the feeling of giving up. Just keep on going. As a fighter of trauma, anxiety and depression, just always remind your self that the only person that can help you is your self. People around you can give pieces of advice and guide you. But if you don’t start with yourself nothing will get better. Its always starts and ends with you. Keep on fighting. We have to fight! We have a lot of choices and its on our own hand to choose the best for ourself. 🙏🏻
It's hard but it's not impossible. I am proud of you!!
Thank you for sharing about your thoughts about depressions and anxiety.. For me one of the best solution for depression is to have someone, it could be a friend, brother, sister or a family member or anyone that your comfortable to talk to, about your problems or things that you are going through.🤔
SANA MABASA MO PO ITO.
Hi Kuya Ben and Ate Sarah. Super duper THANK YOU for this Vlog. Currently, I am suffering from extreme sadness. That I can't exactly explain the reason why. Tipong I want someone to talk about what I am going through pero I don't want anybody to have pity on me. Pero I wanna cry. I really-really wanna cry. All this time, I thought that it was just my dumbness and foolishness. I am blaming myself for what is happening to me. I'm in so much pain that I think, nobody can understand. Pero diko na masyadong pahahabain 'to. I just wanted to say Thank you again and again because just for once, because of you, feeling ko may nakapagdefine ng nararamdaman ko. Kasi kahit ako mismo, diko maintindihan kung bakit. I feel so empty and alone. I even lose my faith(or near to that) to God and I feel so guilty pero I don't even know how to bring back my old self. The real me. So I cried while and after watching this video kasi nakakarelate talaga ako ng sobra sa maraming bagay na nabanggit ni Ate Sarah. Feel na feel ko bawat salitang binibitawan nya(pati nga pag english nahawaan ako. dunno kung ano-ano ang mga grammatical error ko dito-di talaga ako magaling mag english. nadala lang po. hehe) and naging way ka dun kuya Ben. Godbless.
Kuddos to the content Kuya Ben. I don't know kung isa ako sa masuswerteng comment na mababasa mo pero SANA-SANA, mabasa mo po. Kahit malungkot kasi ako, nakukuha ko parin makangiti kahit saglit because of your vlogs. Tapos gustong gusto ko rin yung ibang mga vlogs mo about confidence, insecurities etc something like that. Kasi I am the kind of person who has a very poor self-confidence, poor self-esteem, has a loooot of insecurities. A LOT. Since I was in High School siguro kasi I am a victim of BULLYING and these negativities are getting worse lalo na ngayon na I am suffering from this kind of "Mental sickness/disorder(i guess)". I think its been a month or more na since I felt this and until now, I still can't get over it. :'( Anyway, Sana gumawa pa kayo ng maraming vlogs in relation to this. Yun lang po. Again, Thank You Thank You. Thank you. THANK YOU.
Isishare ko rin po yung video na 'to right after this.
same tayo ate ramdam kita yung pakiramdam din na parang nawawalan kana ng gana sa lahat ng bagay 💔
True. 🙁 and everybody was telling you that "No. You're just over reacting. You're not depress." something like that. Ansakit lang. Kasi di nila tayo maintindihan.
Jesus loves you Maria.
Thanks for sharing, Maria. I hope you feel better soon! Please try to talk to your friends about this. To your family and other people you love. As I said, your sadness is always valid. You can get through this, one step at a time. Hugs!
A million thank you for bringing some light to people who feel like they are in never ending darkness.
Please don't and never give up for me... for us... for yourself. I love you so much to the fact that my week is not complete when I didn't saw your face. Being depressed is really difficult but I know that you can surpass that challenge and I believe in you. We believe in you.
Sana dumami pa yung Gaya mo na gagaya nito... Ng ganyan helping people verbalize their feelings.. You're really an inspiration for us Ben..
Alam ni Lord na kailangan kong mapanood ito.. Thank You.. 💙💙💙
Hi Sarah, (Hope this message gets to you) thanks for sharing your thoughts about this. I saw you one time at the mall and I really wanted to come and talk to you just to say thank you personally but I was not able to. You gave me the chance to understand how my brother feels since he really does not share anything about what he's feeling atm. But like you, he was clinically diagnosed with depression and anxiety disorder. I hope I can provide him the company and support he needs right now.
Thank you Ben for having contents like this in your channel. Your vids really do have substance that people nowadays need to know and understand. Looking forward to your next vids! Good job!
Hi guys! I as also diagnosed with GAD! Its not really easy. I feel you guys out there who has depression and anxiety. I dont know but what i do about it is i look forward to the future and i think beautiful things. I mean i have to set goals. I want to be like this, i want to be like that. Its not easy guys but pls do give it a try. Find someone who has grace like the ocean. Who is our GOD. Listen to praising songs if you like to be alone atleast napapagaan ang loob nyo and dont forget to pray. Instead of worrying. Pray lang pray!
Thank you for this. Super proud of you. Keep being positive!
habang pinapanuod ko to UMIYAK ako. Naramamdaman ko si Sarah. I believe na malalagpasan mo yan. Basta lagi ka ng mag PRAY. Thank you for sharing your story. lablab
This is so timely. Good job Benedict for tackling such a sensitive issue.
I'm anxious, worried about the things will happen week before the day, heart beating fast every night because I'm thinking about tomorrow; school, how my classmates will look down on you (even if not all people are not really always looking at you). Thank you for the great video!
While watching this video i'm crying because i was diagnosed with depression and anxiety, and then i already stop for 2 years in school, because im not feeling well when i dont feel so happy like nung dati na ako yung sobrang saya, pero ngayon hindi na, siguro pambihira nalang akong tumatawa. Buti nalang my parents is supporting me. That's all.
I've been in depression this past few days and I felt like I am the biggest failure to my family. Everytime I made a mistake or made a bad decisions I always blame myself for not doing my best. Good thing I am trying my best to overcome it each day. I am a student kuya benedict, I am a psychology student so the disorder you mention was part of our study. Thank you for making this video to inspire others by the story of your bestfriend and what is the best way cope up with it. Such an interesting video :)
I was planning to do a vlog about this issue, but I was so hesitant for a long time. I was also diagnosed 3 years ago with GAD and Depression. I'm also taking medication until now. I like what Sarah said, "if you don't have vibe with your doctor just switch" It happend to me before and now I feel like I'm in good hands with my doctor. I will be sharing this video, it gave me so much drive or even talk about it publicly. Thank you Ben and Sarah! Shangdi baoyou! 😊
SHOCKS :( ANG RELEVANT NITO KUYA BEN! I just hope that everyone will take good care of their mental health. Truly, stop invalidating people's sadness. Thank you Kuya Ben for this, sana ma-share 'to sa facebook, mas marami kasi ang makakapanood nito.
Salamat po sa inyong dalawa sa pagbibigay nang kaalaman about these topics. Sa panahon na kinabibilangan natin kailangan nga namin o natin ang ganitinong kaalaman hinggil sa nasabing pangnagilangang medikasyon at [agkaunawa sa mga taong nakararanas nito. Salamat pong muli. Pagpalain.
I had this really empty feeling like 2 years ago that lasted for 2 years I think because of OCD.. It was one of the lowest lows that i felt in my life. It was consistent sadness coupled with hatred for some people around me who contributed to the negativity. I felt like I wasn't making progress in life. I thought i was depressed but after hearing your story, I'm not sure anymore coz i wasn't clinically diagnosed.. maybe it was utter sadness because i still had a little glimmer of hope for the future coz I'm positive most of the time. Now I'm a lot better and I think maaattribute ko yun sa healthier eating at habits ko pati narin sa increased productivity na iniimpliment ko na ngayon sa sarili ko.. I'm sorry you had to go thru that and I'm glad you seeked help. You could go really dark and morbid especially when you feel that you're numb and hopeless in everything, but I'm glad you talked and opened up about it and potentially helped somebody depressed :)
Good job po kuya ben . Sobrang ganda ng vlog mo and makakatulong pa sa mga may ganyang sitwasyon .
OMG! Thank you guys for the help. For sure marami kayong matutulungan. GOD BLESS YOU MORE. iloveyou. ❤❤❤
This is an awareness video, and I myself is guilty about augmenting feelings. I thought it was okay to cheer up depressed people, but it’s more of hearing them and try to understand what they are going through. Thanks for this video, Ben! Kudos to you, and Thanks to Sarah too, for sharing!
Hey kuya Ben! This is really helpful. I am not clinically diagnosed but I feel so worthless everyday. I feel so wrong. I feel like everyone's doing great and I am so worst. Even though I am striving so hard to divert my attention to other things which I think will make me feel better, still it doesn't work out. At the end of the day, you're still locked up in your own misery, and there's you, crying and seeing the world on a dark state. Some people think it's just a temporary emotion, but it feels like a cycle. It happened first 5 years ago and every year there's this scenario and as time goes by, it worsens. It's already affecting my studies bcs when you're on this state, you will lost interest even on the things that you really love. And you will ask "why is myself not the same as before?". I feel like I am depreciating. I am small and the world will still progress even without me. 😭 I am also afraid of my condition.
katheey argonsola same. I feel like I'm having an existential crisis
Awww! :( Divert yourself to something that will make you happy. Think of the positive things, there are many. Always pray, meditate, read Bible, talk to God. Talk to your friends and to your family. Throw the negativity away. Always remember that what other can do, you can do also. if someone can do great today, you can also be great in your own perfect time. Nararamdaman ko kung ano ang nararamdaman mo but I don't make that sadness, that feeling of unworthy to take over me. you go girl, we YOU can do it!! Remember that this life is worth living.....in any possible way. Just in case you need a friend, I'm here. :) God Bless your heart and mind!
Man it's a good way of topic to listen and learn. A shout Out for that strong woman who survive that kind of struggles. God bless to both of you❤✌
Naiiyak ako sobra...yung feeling na parang ang dilim na sobra, yung di ko na maintindihan kung bakit ako nalulungkot, pero di ko masabi kahit sa pinaka-close ko na tao kung ano yung dinadala ko kasi kaahit yung usual na sinasabi nila na "kaya mo yan" di ko narin gustong marinig? Parang ang hirap na para sakin e embrace yung mga bagay na alam ko naman na nakakapagpasaya naman dapat sakin..ang hirap, 10yrs na ata akong ganito buti nalang talaga di ako nawawalan ng faith, na kahit bumubuhos yung luha ko pag nag dasal ako alam kong after nun kahit papaano gagaan yung pakiramdam ko kahit sandali..di mo kasi alam kung ano sasabihin sayo ng tao...haaay ewan! Alam ko nlng ngayon kailangan ko magpakatatag. Napaka-useful ng content nto ben...
This is so helpful especially to those people who are really suffering depression :)
I am just so amazed. Been consistently talking to my friends who's going through depression and anxiety but I wish I could learn more about it hays. God bless to both of you
very educational and vlog kuys ben...sana maraming pang kasunod...
aww ganda ng content bagay sa panahon ngayon. great idea benny😇
Nakakatulong po ito, specially sa akin lately depress po talaga ako 😞thanks Kuya ben, and Sarah ☺
I've had severe anxiety and depression 3 years ago, I wasn't clinically diagnosed, but I knew how it felt. My cardio doctor told me that whatever I felt in my body, it's just all in my head. I've had insomia, my chest was heavy, my thoughts were racing, I was crying for no reason, I couldn't eat 'cause I felt like choking. I don't wanna get out of bed, don't wanna shower, don't wanna do my laundry, don't wanna do dishes, I lost a lot of weight. My thoughts told me that I was dying or I was gonna die soon. I've always was cloud-headed. I had a panick attack at work one time, and my body just went frozen, my chest was tight 'cause I hyperventilated so bad. I had to resign from work because of these. The doctors never gave me any medicine, and just gave me a brown paper bag (yung pinambabalot ng take away barbecue) and told me to use it everytime I felt like I have to catch my breathe. It went on that way for a year. It was terrible. I was horrible. I was devasted as a person. I lost who I was. I also had a heart condition, but it wasn't serious. It added up to my anxiety, and thought that any time, I'd get a heart attack (which is highly unlikely). So it went on for so long, but I eventually overcame it. Thinking about it now, everything was different when I was mentally sick. I was so denial back then. Now, although I don't feel those things anymore, I still cannot forget how it all felt. I have a closefriend who has anxiety and sever panick attacks, and she's been seeing a doctor and taking up meds for it. I fully understood how she felt. And I support her all the way 'cause all of it was familiar to me. My mom had it too, my cousins had it, my teacher had it. I knew people close to my heart who've had depression and anxiety. Others may not believe that mental illness is truly a sickness, especially denial Filipinos, but I can guarantee you it is a serious disease. It will cripple you as a whole, and if not cured, it could be life-threatening. Thank you for talking about this. This should never be a taboo topic in our culture because this is as real as cancer too. I thank your friend too, who shared her personal experiences and never is ashamed of it. What a strong woman. I hope you do more videos talking about awful things but turning it into something positive, like this. ❤
IntrovertTaciturn i hope you are feeling well
"As real as cancer too" i agree.
Thank you for sharing this, Ben and Miss Sarah! 💕
hi kuya ben and sarah. thank you sobra sa mga advice ninyo. actually, sobrang depressed ko kasi naka ilang take na ako ng board exams. mag isa lang ako here sa manila and galing pa ako sa davao. actually patong patong lahat ever since. may isang guy na sobrang mahal ko for three years. pero hndi sya nag cocommit ang tagal ko na pong naka abang at tanga sknya. actually verbally abused ako sguro sobrang sensitive ko pero mejo below the belt sya mag salita. patong patong ang mga sakit sa puso ko na umiiyak nalang ako bgla.
Hi Ben, thank you for sharing this kind of vlog... watching this right now... naalala ko yung pinag daanan ko last year. Tipong, hindi ko na nakikita yung sarili ko na makakaabot ako ng 2020 😭. It feels like I'm in a uneding dark tunnel (if iddescribe ko sya) because that was my darkest days of my entire life. I can't eat, I can't sleep, I can't talk to someone kasi I feel so demotivated, and hindi ko kaya mag kwento with a friend. Wala akong kagana gana sa buhay, nawala sakin yung mga dati kong naeenjoy gawin, yung pakiramdam na lagi akong pagod at yung feeling na araw-araw ako pinapatay to the point na nag mamakaawa na ko to seek for help kasi hindi ko na kaya. Dumating na din ako sa point na nag ttake na ko ng sleeping pills sa kagustuhan kong makatulog kasi nagkaron na ko ng sleep deprivation to the point na nahihilo na ko sa sobrang walang tulog... Nasa point din ako nun na kinukurot ko yung sarili ko, kasi narerelax ako in a way na, mas gusto ko nakikita yung scars, hindi ko alam ah, pero na rerelieve ako na makita yung outside wound kesa sa inner wound, tipong, masakit sa puso eh parang may tumutusok na ewan and it is so hard to keep on track minsan, and in that way, I feel alive 🙁 and I always keep reminding myself na, I can't wait to be better, to feel better. I can't wait to see the new me, the stronger version of me... araw araw that's my mantra til I woke up one day with a not so heavy heart hanggang sa naging okay ako... up to now... Sa lahat ng nakakaranas ng gantong situation, wag kang bibitiw, it will soon end and if hindi na kaya, seek for help na, walang masama dun... hindi kayo nag iisa... ❤❤
Thank you idol ben pa heart nman jan.yung topic ngayun it helps me a lot coz that's what I feel now.im still suffering pain and sadness.i can't explain anymore all I know is I act like different than before. All the time umiiyak Lang ako and dumating Ang punto gusto ko magpakamatay kasi parang Wala Ng bukas at pag asa Ang naramdaman ko .inshort parang binagsakan ako Ng Mundo it's just because sa hiwalayan na diko matanggap tanggap.😭😭😭😭

#supportalways
I feel that way but I cant share it to anyone because I don't know if my friends would believe or not. I kept it to my family - I felt it's a burden to them. Thank you for sharing this insights.
SUPER DUPER relate ako dito kuya ben.. Pinag kaiba lang nung nasabi sakin ng doc. Na may MDD ako. Nabigyan ako ng gamot kaso di ko tinuloy tuloy ung pag inom nung gamot na yun. I tried to heal myself . hinanap ko talaga ung mga taong makakaintindi sakin . as in. Grabe ngayon nakahanap ulit ako ng taong na parehas ng nararanasan ko .. Thank you dito sa video na to kuya.. Grabe 😭😭😭 ngayon kinakausap ko ung mga taong nkikita ko sa mga social media na parang sad sila or parehas nung naranasan ko kahit di ko close. Kasi kailangan din nila ng kausap eh . so ayun salamat talaga sa video na to. Ipapanood ko rin to sa mga taong nakakaranas ng tingin ko nasa stage na ng depression.. Salamat po.
I love that you have lots of intellectual friends whom you can talk about things that matter with.
You just blessed a lot of people with this content. Pls stay relevant like this, just subbed coz of this.
Thank you ben and sarah!
Yung sobrang bigat sa feeling that you failed to something and feel unworthy and saying sorry to my self na parang sobrang nakaka awa yung sarili yun yung nararamdaman ko now
Kuyaaa Ben and ate...thank you sa vlog na to. Actually we take up this study na po noong grade 11 pa ako pero dahil sa vlog na to mas naging clear pa saakin ang ibig-sabihin ng anxiety and depression at mas na dagdagan pa yung knowledge ko about dito. 😊😊 Maraming salamat ulit 😘 God bless.
I really don’t know paano ako napunta sa video na to. Sa tagal tagal ko nang pinapanood at naka subscribe sa yo Benny, ngayon ko lang ito napanood.. is this a sign?
But to be honest, hindi ako okay. Hindi ko maintindihan yung nararamdaman ko.. I can feel that there’s something wrong with me at hindi ko lang alam kung ano.. parang ayaw kong mapag iwanan.. akala ko, patient ako pero parang unti unting nawawala yung pagiging pasensyoso ko. Gusto ko na ngang umalis rito sa Pilipinas, wala lang talagang dumadating na chance para makaalis ako. It’s 4:13 in the morning right now and di ako makatulog. Overthink malala eh.. sobrang inaalala ko yung future ko at yung pagiging breadwinner ko.
Napapagod na ko. 😢
And thanks for this video, Benny.
This is one of my fave videos of yours by far :) I too suffered from depression and until now I guess. These words from her were really comforting, on my part. So, thank you for making this video
Im not clinically diagnosed but lolokohin ko lang ang sarili ko kung sasabihin kong okay lang ako. I was described as a loud and very energetic person. Sobrang natatapangan ako dun sa mga taong kayang sabihin na di sila okay, you're the strongest po. Because i think all depressed people feel this feeling na walang andyan para pakinggan at intindihin sila. Pero ako heto patuloy na nagpapanggap. Bigay na bigay ang lola nyo sa pagtawa.😆 Ewan ko pero feeling ko di ako safe sa mga taong nakakakilala sa akin. Na feeling ko kung ano yung nakilala nila should stay like that. They think of me as the happiest so dapat ganun makita nila araw araw. Living with depression for 5 years na wala ni isang pinagsasabihan is really difficult. Dun mo masasabi na walang wala ka talaga. Na kahit gano kadami ang friends mo, walang saysay kasi maling personality naman yung pinapakita mo hindi ikaw. 5 years akong natatakot malagay sa hot seat twing kalungkutan na yung usapan. Takot akong malaman nila pero gustong gusto ko naman na may makapansin oh diba anggulo ko? parang gusto kung mahanap ako pero nagtatago naman.
if may makabasa man neto na kilala ako hi po hahaha
So hows my experience with this illness? Wala sa bokabularyo yung salitang excitement kasi pakiramdam ko paulit ulit lang ung nangyayare. Walang bago walang magbabago, kung ano yung ngayon ko yun din ang bukas at nakakapagod yun. Yung tipong paggising ko palang sa umaga problema na sakin. Pagod na pagod ako sa lahat pero diko masabi kung ano yung lahat nayun kasi wala naman akong ginagawa. Pakiramdam ko wala na akong magawa sa buhay pero nakatambak naman yung mga dapat kung gawin. I have lost my interest in all things. Ang babaw siguro sa paningin ng iba pero sobrang bigat sakin. Napapagod akong gumising. I feel so empty, unworthy and all. Pakiramdam ko wala akong deserve na kahit anong kabutihan sa mundo. I feel so sad pero diko naman masabi kung bakit. Lahat ng nararamdamn ko diko alam kung saan nagmumula at bakit. And this is the first time naglabas ako about dito and i am challenging my self not to delete this after a few days.
Edit: its been a year. Diko nga denelete.
Yan yung feeling ko kanina mabuti at kinausap ako ng kaibigan atleast meron akong natutunan na lesson
Thank you for this Kuya Ben and Ms. Sarah. I have friends who also suffer anxiety and depression but I don't know what to say or what to advice. I'm afraid in choosing the right word to advice. I really hope and pray for all the people who are currently suffering to GAD AND MDD to be okay and live life to the fullest. 🙏💋
i wanna share you guys my story.
16 years old na ko ngayon and 3 years ago, nakaramdam ako ng extreme kind of sadness. like, legit na extreme. hindi ko alam yun, hindi ko alam yung tawag dun kasi una sa lahat, parang sobrang bata ko pa that time. wala pa kong alam sa depression at anxiety na yan. basta ang alam ko lang noon, malungkot ako, sad ako, ganyan. wala ng mas malalim na definition o salita yung sadness na yun.
for the past 3 years, feeling ko walang nangyari sa buhay ko. di na ko nae-excite sa mga bagay bagay, nawawalan ako ng gana sa lahat. feeling ko pa nga walang nangyari nung mga nakaraang taon sa buhay ko e. wala lang, parang nagising ako, nakain ako, gumagawa ako ng mga bagay and such, pero at the end of the day, parang walang nangyari e. parang "lah, kakagising ko lang tas matutulog na naman ako." parang di ka nakakagawa ng maayos o di ka man lang nakagawa ng kahit isang magandang bagay nung araw na yon.
ang dami ng nangyari sakin bata palang ako e, yung mga hindi ko pinapagtuunan ng pansin noon, bigla kong naisip e. yung mga nagpapalungkot sakin noon, biglang lumala. kumbaga 3 years ago, nag sink in sakin lahat ng nangyari sakin nung bata palang ako. napa-isip ako, lumala, nakaramdam ng extreme sadness, nadown, naiyak at nalulungkot ng wala sa oras, ang bigat lagi ng pakiramdam ko, nanlalamig ako, ang lakas ng kabog ng dibdib ko at hindi ko na ma-control sarili ko. sobrang lost ko, hindi ko na alam gagawin ko sa sarili ko noon.
pero ngayon, gustong gusto ko na kumawala sa mundo ng kalungkutan. ayaw ko na bumalik dun kaya ang ginagawa ko, kahit anong mangyaring masama sakin, hindi ko na gaano iniisip. nililimitahan ko na sarili ko para hindi ako makaramdam ng sobrang kalungkutan. kasi sa totoo lang, minsan naiisip ko na nakakasawa pala maging malungkot? kasi yung iba, parang ang saya saya lang, kahit nakakaramdam ng lungkot, nagagawa padin nilang masaya. e ako? parang wala ng nangyayari sa buhay ko e. kaya ayun, nasa point ako ngayon ng buhay ko na ginagawa ko ang lahat para makaalis sa mundo ng kalungkutan.
I’ve been watching videos of you and baninay then this came in. Two thumbs up (and more) for this content. Thank you Ben and to Sarah for sharing her story.
By the way, I’m a Psychology graduate and this kind of content is very much needed for us to spread mental health awareness. Sadly, due to family matters I am not in the field anymore but as much as I could I help those people who reach out to me.
I just want to comment.. Yes Ben, let us not invalidate sadness of other people. But for me for the generations today mejo na-overuse nila yung word na Depress! Because katulad ng explanation ni Sarah there is a big difference between sad ka lang and theres hope compare to depression na. While some people nowadays tend to use depress more as just only being sad.
So, in that case ang hirap idetermine kung they need help because they might be depress or meron kasi na sinasabi lng yun para pansinin mo sila. Just want to tell those people na as long as you can use “I am sad/ lonely” use it instead of saying you are depressed kasi nga that is two different things.
Nevertheless, If you feel extremely sad and lonely kahit na papunta na yan ng depression or hindi pa naman always seek for help. Always have someone to talk to. We have our families who are very much willing to listen and we have friends. There are also communities (like YFC or Youth for Christ) out there that you can join so you can extend your connections.
Again, Best job for this Ben. Thanks for making this content. Keep them coming. 👍🏻👆🏻💪🏻
Gosh relate ako. While she's talking naiiyak ako talaga. I'm so glad and proud of myself now na na overcome ko yung depression. Ang ganda ng session na toh thanks kuya Ben and to your friend. Sabi ko sa sarili ko di ako matutulog ng di ko mapapanood to and it's worth to watch.
Lodi ben always ako nanonood ng vlog mo simula nung pinakilala ka ni baninay. Napakaganda mg content mo may makukuhang aral. Thank you sa video mo ngayon napaka useful sakin. Ngayon sakin nakakaramdam ako ng depression dahil ofw ako nagwowork ako ngayon sa riyadh. Yung feeling na wala kang nagagawang tama at minsan nakakaisip ako mag suicide. Kasi ang layo layo ko sa pamilya ko and pag may problem ako wala akong mashare ng problem ko. Thank you for this video ms. Sarah and lodi ben ☺
Thanks for sharing. Please do find someone to talk to, it will make you feel a better :)
This is a sensitive topic but I would like to thank Ms.Sarah for sharing the story of her. Thanks Ben for being a good friend to her knowing that she could be a tool for an enlightenment to others or to your subscribers na nagstruggle sa ganung situation. Good job to that! You are more of a relevant influencer. God bless you! :)

Grabe naiyak ako while watching this kasi i also have anxiety for years na until now. This really helps me para mas maging aware ako sa current state ng mental health ko.
I also have a friend who also suffering from depression and nag try syang mag suicide last week luckily nag fail ung ginawa nya kaso until now she doesn't talk a lot which makes us feel so down cuz we can't help her.
All we(my friends) can do as of now is to be with her as much as we can and share some positive thoughts as much as possible.
Thank you kuya ben for making this kind of vlog! I really appreciate it a lot. More quality vlogs in the future! God bless and goodluck!
ang informative naman nitong vlog na to! feeling ko kulang ako sa Serotonin kumbaga sa 100% mga 60 lang saken ang hirap umusad sa life pag kulang ka ng confidence huhu
Thank you Benedict! This has been very helpful as my special child brother is currently going through depression and I also went through that phase as our parents and our lola passed away and thank you for this awareness...😊😉
Ganda ng content na to it is something that you will learn about depression and how to deal with it. I am also diagnosed with anxiety and depression. Year 2012 was the saddest thing that happened in my life but people here are sharing their experiences already which is same as mine. Let's just fight for it and go on with our lives. Thank you Ben!!!
Thanks ben. Another knowledge to book. Ms. Sarah thanks din for sharing hope you’ll overcome your depression and anxiety.
This is very educational, informative and helpful for those who don’t understand and for those who want to understand. Thank you.
Naiyak ako habang nagkukwento si Sarah. Kasi I've experienced depression in the past years. Lahat siguro tayo dumadaan sa phase ng ganu sa buhay pero malaking tanong is bakit? Bakit natin napagdadaanan yung heaviness and at the same time feeling empty and unworthy of anything. Sobrang on point lahat ng sinabi ni Sarah. I cried. 😭
Can i just say that this is what content means. Seriously. Kudos, Benedict! Anyway, while i was watching this vlog, i just want to go through the screen of my phone and hug Sarah. Thank you for sharing your story. She is such a strong woman. Hopefully, she can read my comment.
Thankyou for using this as a platform to spread awareness about depression. Thankyou thankyou!!
Andaming kong realization sa content nato 😊 talagang ang galing mong content creator 😊 promise
Hii kuya Ben! Thank you for this. I watched this to understand my bestfriend more.
Everyone please take time to watch this, seems like too mahaba pero this is VERY INFORMATIVE.
OMG. I don’t know, pero nakarelate ako in some parts na shinare ni Ms. Sarah. I didn’t notice that I was experiencing depression na. But it’s not that much. There are times I feel that emptiness, the feeling of unworthy people, yung hopelessness. But hindi ko naman yun naffeel ng sobrang consistently. Dumadating yung araw or gabi na malulungkot nalang bigla na yun nga emptiness, feeling of unworthy, down na down, iiyak nalang kay Lord at nae-enlighten naman minsan. Pero tama nga si Ms. Sarah, I should have to share to my friends or family what’s going inside my head. Maybe it’s just in me, the problem is just not right overthinking or being negative thinker in some times. Natatakot ako magshare ng nasa isip ko dahil feeling ko hindi nila maiintindihan what am I going through with. Baka isipin nila ang OA ko lang, at hindi ko na rin mahimay kung bakit nga ba ako nasasad dahil parang thread na sya ng dif. Problems na nagsama sama. Pero one time, may kumausap sakin a friend, nagtanong sya kung okay ako e, I am not okay that time but I’m still trying not to share it kasi mahirap, kumbaga hindi ko alam kung anong yung exact word to describe what am I feeling. Parang ang sensitive na ng isip at puso ko para mailabas ulit kung ano ba yung reason of my sadness. Pero sabi ng friend ko, kailangan ngang ilabas ang problema, kailangan kong/natin makarinig ng mga answers or feedback or motivation thoughts about sa nasa isip natin. Kasi most of the time, we are wrong e, we are just the one who are thinking some things na hindi naman talaga ikaw, hindi naman talaga yun ang dapat iniisip mo. Na it’s not the totoong timpla ng utak mo. Habang umiikot yun sa utak mo, nagbubuhol buhol lang hanggang sa gumulo na at mag crack ka nalang. Yun ang mali dun. Still a BUG THANK YOU KUYA BEN AND MS. SARAH, this such a big help. And also there are so many people na natulungan at na enlightened from this. Ms. Sarah says some literal medication, but this video madicates some people or just a 20mins video but gives a big impact to people who are experiencing major depression even the mild one. THANK YOU😊 GODBLESS US ALL♥️
Hi kyah Ben namiss ka namin mag vlog ahh long time no see very good content ito para sa mga nadidipressed and anything #Notifscuad here Miguel Ortiz here
Thank you so much Ms Sarah thats help us so much na ma enlighten na kung ano ba dapat ang gawin, thank you din Sir Ben🔥
And never tell someone who suffers from depression and anxiety na, "Nasa isip mo lang 'yan." because aside from we already know that, it adds to the bad feeling.
If I may add, I do feel that there really is no perfect time to seek for professional help. We do not have to wait for us to be in our lowest points for help to be valid. If we feel that we need it at the moment, it is perfectly fine. Help is valid regardless of time. Professional help is not only exclusive for the mentally ill but for everyone who needs somebody to talk to without judgments 😊. Mental health is for everyone .
Thanks for this kuys. Been there too, I know how it feels like. "choose to fight even if it is hard to".
Kuya ben, its kind of late tho, but thank you for sharing this, same with ate sarah, you as an influencer, this is a big help to fight the stigma regarding depression and all.
I'm a psych graduate and thinking of ways how to fight the stigma with mental concerns (not mental illnesses).
One of the important things i've learned in life is, whoever you are, whatever status you have in life, we must all be a GOOD LISTENER. Listening to understand instead of listening just to respond.
Thanks for this. Still binge watching your videos, benny.
Very helpful and timely. Thanks for bringing her to one of your vlogs. I love the variations on contents sa vlog mo
Thank you benny!! I know tinatry mo mag vlog ng mga educational and that's great. Keep it up! Love youuuuuu!!!😘😘😘
I love you, Ben! Thanks for enlightening my mind😘 You are such a good TH-camr!!❤
Thank you so much Ms Sarah thats help us na ma enlighten na kung ano ba dapat ang gawin, thank you din Sir Ben🔥
Hi Ben and Sarah! Thank you so much for doing this video. I understand more how difficult it is for my sister, she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder & ADD, those two do not make a good combination. I will definitely put to mind your tips on how to help people struggling with these kinds of problems. Great content! And I get your intention -- to educate more people about these sensitive topics. More like this please! Maybe... Discuss LGBT? How to respect, be more senstitive, and accepting? Understand people/friends who are part of the LGBT community? Looking forward to your new video!
Thank you Ate Sarah. Talking about Depression and Anxiety is hard to talk about but then you want to help people for tips and treating friends with Depressio n Anxiety. Thank You for your bravery ^_^
very well said, thank you for educated us about this sensetive topic. very helpful content , hope many youngster's out there seen this, keep up the good work, , ,
looking forward for your next educational content.
Thank you so much kuya ben and especially to your bestfriend 😘 ang laking tulong nyo po sa nararamdaman ko ngayon. Thank you so much 😊 God bless us always 😇
Thank you for using your platform Ben to spread awareness on MDD and GAD :) thank you din kay Sarah for sharing her experience
Also panic attacks are one of the symptoms of an anxiety disorder
I wonder if she goes to psychotherapy or just the medication. Magkaiba kasi yun and depende din sa case.
One of your best vlogs! Vlogging with a purpose. Salute you Ben!
HOY DABEST TO 😭 lalo na sa 14:00 na part. Grabe
Sir Ben i love how you balance emotions.....
I was also diagnosed with MDD. And what makes it more difficult is that people see it as "arte". They compare and give remarks as "hindi naman uso yan dati", "hindi lang naman ikaw ang unang nakaranas ng ganyan". I know. I know. But I am really sad. I'm in pain. I'm not okay.
I'm cryingggggg! Grabe.
Yey first comment ako love you kuya ben!! God bless😊
It's really BEN a while but this vlog worth the wait!
All vloggers should have this kind of content..Thanks kuya Ben for using TH-cam specially your channel..you always make your Benpires and Scuad happy and proud!💖
