"taking a nap because you just want to escape" been there 😞, great video 👍
Maya Sirine yes I'm going through that right now, it sucks
Also known as a free trial of death
how did you get out of that bad “place”?
Yeah me too
I wish my parents understood this. there always yelling at me to do stuff and to stop procrastinating or being lazy but I really don't have the motivation to do it. they treat me like a lazy kid and like my depression doesn't exsist
yes, i wish the same, I am also anxious a lot and my mum always makes me to talk to people and forcing me to go to events, etc. and then talks to me like I'm horrible person
welp, my parents have plain ignored me since I came out with my depression.... Thats no fun either.
Ray Young i can totally understand that. Even my friends do that to me. Like they constantly say that im becoming lazy and im always distracted and in my mind i am like i know what is happening to me everyone does not have to say it everytime.
All I can say is "same"
Ray Young I relate, not a damn thing changes... I’m so done with life.
I have to stay alive til I’m old enough to get a gun. I don’t have any option to overdose. I can’t tie a noose. So I guess I have to wait....
"Don't assume you know what's going through my head". Couldn't have said it better
I can't believe how relatable this is
yea!
so true.
do u peeps even have depression?
RISING rr is it a competition? they probably do, probably don’t. why do you care?
Mia I was just askin lol, no big deal
This is exactly how I feel. My parents don't understand and think I'm being immature and just wanting to be a grouch. But I can't explain it to them because I can barely explain it myself. Getting up every morning can seem like a chore, I want to go out but at the same time I don't and just want to sit at home and sleep. The negative thoughts stay in my head and I isolate myself from everyone because in my head it just feels easier than being around them.
hey kali tell your parents you think you have depression and to take you to a therapist and doctor.
Kali, I feel you girl. I've been feeling like crap a lot lately. In my family you could cry in they face, but they wouldn't notice it or even care to ask. I want to talk but not everyone understand how I feel and they THINK they know what's on my mnd. I binge eat a lot but can't understand why. I do isolate myself from people but it's just to find a little peace and quiet. Recently, my aunt finally asked what was going on with me but I didn't have a answer. I've always been the person trying to reach out and help other people but I can't even help myself. I do suffer with a lot of negative thought and I actually verbally react to them as if I'm crazy. Do you ever do that with your negative thoughts and what are they usually about?
Good day with depression: not totally wanting to die, feeling like you've achieved something,even the smallest thing
Bad day with depression:feeling like you're already dead, debeating if you are or not, numbness , a lot of it, trying to stay strong while watching the object you used to or use to selfharm fighting against your own self over wether to do it or not, just wanting to sink deeper and deeper...
I think this summs it up for me
Monica Mae Same.
oh dear, The nap part. I dont take them Because im tired as i tell The people around me. I take them Because its The closest i can get to dead. Its an escape from reality, and when everything just shuts down, i can finally feel calm. Taking naps is What keeps me alive.
How are you doing now?
@@uncleiroh8938I survived an attempt 2019 december, after getting out of the hospital I started therapy and medication. Im still on Zoloft (sertraline) 100mg everyday. Went through normal therapy for a while, then did ”DBT” (dialectical behavior therapy) and got diagnosed with BPD and ptsd. I was deeply deeply depressed for a long time. DBT helped me a LOT.
Now I am happy. Never been this stable my whole life. So glad I survived. Just got promoted at work and getting straight A’s in school. My relationship with my family is so much better and I have friends that love me, and I love them. I wouldve never imagined I would get where I am today. Things genuinely DO get better!!
I dont know why you asked, but Ill still say, hold on. Things rlly do get better ❤️
Hey ella. I just read the message you’ve sent me. I know you deleted it, and i understand why, you have nothing to prove to a stranger. Somehow, your message still got through through notification or whatever, i dont even know how it did, but i read it, and i took a screenshot of it. I just wanted to let you know. Your message has helped me. I’m close to throwing myself before a train but i won’t ever do that JUST because my family doesn’t deserve that pain and they have always tried to help me in the best way they could. My issues are probably very different from yours. BUT i do believe that things will get better just like they got better for you, we are living the same lives but in different times. Thank you so much for sharing, it did more for me than you can imagine, i hope you’ll continue in this spiral to positivity. Love and respect from me, a complete stranger. I’m proud of you! I hope you’ll read this message.
In case you we’re wondering i edited it because i accidentally said i screenshotted it twice. I’m so glad you are still alive and got through it.
@@uncleiroh8938i have no clue why the message was deleted! Im glad you saw it. Thank you for replying. Keep going. Eventually the sun will shine on you too ❤️
I appreciate all the videos you are posting about mental health problem especially depression which i actually have. They are so relatable that you put so much effort for this. Just Thank You!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! 😭
To all the dear souls suffering from depression...Please, stay strong. It might seems like there's no way out at times but this is just your sick brain tricking you... Please remember that, even if it's so hard to believe. You might not see one now, but there's is always a reason worth staying alive that is awaiting you in the future. I suffered from massive depressive episodes in the past and thought about giving up way too often, perhaps just like you do right now. But in retrospective, I can tell you that staying alive and working through my illness was the best decision of my life, and so will be yours. I would've missed out on the most beautiful things. The beautiful things that make your life worth living.
Synesthesist I'm sorry if I come across as rude but there is a difference between being depressed and being suicidal. I've had depression for as long as I could remember and I'm sorry to break this to you, but it doesn't get better. Even with the 'great' life I have now depressing and suicidal thoughts still come and they stay, and no matter how great people tell me my life is, it's getting harder and harder to believe. The thing is depression doesn't care about how great your life is, or how attractive you are or anything else. Once it chooses its victim, it doesn't go away until thats all the person is. I do appreciate your concern but I don't want help as of now, thank you.
Synesthesist
Wow, thank you for this. I actually cried while reading it.

That is true! I've been depressed for years despite having a good life. It just felt like living itself wasn't really meant for me. I always observed other people and saw how excited they were about everything. All I wanted to do is hide in a dark corner and rot there for the rest of my life. I'm currently taking antidepressants and they do help me quite a lot. All the waiting for better times and trying to think positive didn't do anything for me.
Thank you this applies to any illness really. I.have severe diagnosed anxiety, depression and a chronic illness called p.o.t.s
This. This is the video. This is the video that can explain, explain how you feel, without you having to say a word. The video that truly describes a good day and a bad one. On behalf of those suffering, thank you.
Idk if I have depression . My parents all ways tells me that I'm lazy and that I only want to be on social media I know I'm not lazy I know I'm not addicted to social media, I feel like there's no worth living, I feel like alone so I get distracted by stuff , there's days that I can't even look at someone's face because I think that they're are laughing at me.
Is this depression?
Do you feel like you cant feel happiness? Do you find stuff worth doing? if the answer is positive to any of those I would contact a therapist and psychiatrist. Usually people with depression (including me) have no motivation, have no sense of purpose, feel like everything is like climbing a mountain, you also become very negative, once it starts getting worse you will start thinking about suicide until one day you will actually start considering it. In my case I realized I needed help when I started getting episodes of extreme sadness, and on one of them, suicidal thoughts, but you want to get help before that happens, so even if you dont know, go talk to a professional, RIGHT NOW.
oaksterdam-thank you
Don't ask people over the internet weather or not you have depression, a lot of people won't give you accurate answers. If you believe you may have depression seek help from psychiatrist immediately.
no u aren't it could be because of many things try to figure out what u did wrong....
depression is more than What u talking??i feel no interest in world ...can't be happy or feeling you are ill though u aren't that a symptom of depression...
Deependra singh Can you please make your replies make sense.
This is my life 😣😭
Alex Appelbe same
same
Yayayaya...Im not alone..yay
Alex IceBoy my life too
The last line tho
Just described about me..... Whole thing is something I always go through... Even writing this is way more difficult.... And the last line the 'You don't know what's going in my mind ' describe how I feel when people ask me not to be soooo lazy.
A good day for me is getting what I need to get done. A bad day is not even being able to comprehend starting on it, because my head is so clouded with negative thoughts and migraines.
This explains it all.
Definitely relatable… Especially not seeing the point of getting out of bed because of lack of motivation or care. Sometimes I stay in bed until 4pm sometimes 5pm and by which time in the winter, it’s already dark outside. Which sucks because by the time I go to bed the night before and the time I actually wake up and get up, I never see any light outside. Only making me feel more depressed. I sleep in my clothes on bad days, not seeing even the point in getting myself to look presentable as I never leave my room on bad days. I only eat snacks to make me feel better, nothing nutritional… I worry about telling anyone because I’m scared people will say I’m just lazy, but most days I just feel like life is pointless and I’m worthless, I need a motivation to get me out of bed in the morning but even when I do get up early, usually I realize there’s nothing I want to do, so I just go back to bed for hours and hours feeling awful about myself
All the comments about your parents not understanding or acknowledging your depression and calling you lazy, don't worry! I feel you! Remember there are people who care about you sweetie. Someone loves you, you just might not know it. Stay strong! 💜💜💜
It really becomes a problem when these two things connect with each other and you can't tell the difference because you're used to it so much (like being tired and wanting to escape in a nap)
I should show this to my teachers.
Thank you so much for this video
I wish my teachers would understand this. The perfect attendance they demand from me seems really impossible, I don't want to go to school feeling like crying any second of the day for some reasons I can't explain
I used to think that I'm just a lazy procrastinator, but I've had to accept that it's depression, and that I'm not just lazy, forgetful, or unambitious, and need to learn to suck it up and deal with it
Trinity Frank
This is so me but I don't know if it's depression exactly.
I always think I'm just a lazy and procrastinator, l need to go to a therapist to be sure what happennig
Depression usually isn’t just being tired and all that. There’s a lot more emotional pain involved. You’ll get more distant with friends and family and maybe even quit some of your favorite hobbies. It feels like someone’s punching you in the chest every 5 minutes and sometimes you just want to curl up in bed and sleep it all off.
yeahh. and most of the time i feel really hard to describe my feelings to my self and to other people, kinda frustrating. sumetimes i wanna talk but i dont know how :(
I can relate to this, it used to not be so bad back in March 2017 but it’s only evolved and worsened.
This is so relatable...idk if depression/anxiety relates to inability to sleep but in the past 1/2 years i cannot sleep at all, well i cant fall asleep at a normal sleeping time. Even hours after i've gotten off the computer or tablet and im reading quietly in my room, i still can't fall asleep easily. Sometimes, i dont go to sleep at all and stay up reading or drawing or just thinking. Idk if it'll ever stop.
This is so true ❤️ people call me lazy when I struggle to get up like today and people get mad when I struggle to answer people or shut them out I can’t help it
I respect this channel from the bottom of my heart.
HOW DOES THIS NOT HAVE MORE VIEWS AND LIKES??!?
usually these sorts of things don't make me feel emotional, but that bit about sleeping because there's nothing else to do hits hard. whenever i did that, i would wonder if i would wake up the next day feeling better like when i was a child and had a tantrum over something small
it felt like there was nothing TO work for because i felt it would never happen. if i slept, it would transport me to the future... whether that future was a "cure" or death, it didn't matter as long as it came fast
This is so accurate. Some days I lay in bed because I like to lie down for a bit and prepare but as you said sometimes it's as if there's something pinning me down and I can't find the motivation to move
this explains everything. Can't say much but literally, this is what I've been doing through my whole life. People around me thought that I'm lazy but actually they'll never understand what's gg on inside my head.
I LOVE T HIS
Because I relate to this alot. My depression is undiagnosed unfortunately, but this is exactly how I feel. On a more depressed day, I can't get out of bed unless my parents make me, and they think I'm still in bed because i'm lazy or just tired. Not sad. I can't do my schoolwork because of my constant sadness and dark frame of mind. This video is exactly how I feel and would describe it and I love t his.
Don’t shy away from going to see a therapist! It’ll help you a lot in the long run!
Thank you for this, my wife is amazing but its hard to explian to her what i go through most days. Most days i wake up and have no desire to get for work or even to enjoy the things i love. Sometimes its hard to explain to her what a bad day feels like, she asks me if i have "bad thoughts" and thruthfully i do. Though what is hard to explain is that thouse thoughts just fill up my head where i cannot even enjoy the days with her which breaks my heart more because she is the greatest thing in the world to me. When she came into my life it was as if she was a candle in a very very dark night, a light in which i can stand next to and feel so much better. Sorry for the rant but thank you so much.
THANK YOU
*sigh* relatable. You literally just summed up my days. Wow. I’m so done with life!! ... I keep having to fake “I’m fine.” Every single damn day and it gets harder and harder each time.
I got called selfish today by my aunt and my mother told me she couldn't help me because I was sad all the time. This is relatable.
These days, im always depressed every days... i just wanna get outta this mood this killing me so hard ...
I love that last sentence. It is what I am trying to teach people around me all the time: Do not assume other people's feelings. You can't know and by assuming you might cause a lot of harm. Go and ask people about their feelings, most people will talk if you make them feel like they can trust you.
I felt all this about a year ago. I don't want to self diagnose because I'm not an expert, but I did experience these things. For everyone it's different, and for me this overall experience was just grayness. I didn't know what was going on and I didn't want to know either. I never had motivation to do anything and I never found anything worth doing. Since then having happy days actually surprises me to the max... when there's something worth laughing for or smiling for instead of faking it. I've been to counselors and school counselors multiple times and it annoys me because I want to be left alone, but I don't want to be lonely. I want the counselors to hear me, but a voice in the back of my head tells me they don't care, they only want to get paid and have this job over with. It's a constant weird fight between yourself. I always felt like a whiny special snowflake each time I tried to open up to someone about it. When I told my dad he said "He wasn't my equal and that I shouldn't expect him to try and help me since I was only a teen." I didn't have that many happy days, it just went for a while and slowly thinned out as I forced myself to be positive.
Sorry for the dramatics this is just how I've experienced things in this video, again, this has never been confirmed by a doctor so don't use this comment as info on how depression may feel like or if you have it or not. Ever since it was at its height, the worst symptoms I've had were no motivation to do anything because there was no point. I've just thought positive about things, I know it's a piece of overused advice but no matter whether you're sad or doctor-diagnosed depressed, just try to be happy. There is so much worth being happy for and you might not see it, but it's there. If it isn't, you can make it happen. I tried talking to more people at school and made more friends. Just know there's so much for you to live for and you can make that happen.
This resonates so much with me ❤ I started crying at the end. More videos like this are needed in this world.
THIS.

IS SPARTAAAAAAA
Aint it
I'm Bipolar and this is me right now- a good day with depression. Even on my day off, I got up, dressed in more than sweats, sorted out attendance problems at college and bought a book.
When I go manic, it's near impossible to sleep for more than a few hours here and there, let alone stay in and do nothing!
I secretly love my funny manic times.
Good job and thank you for sharing. It shows what character you have.
I find comfort in this, I live daily with depression and have both good days and bad. I relate to this heavily.
My parents think I'm just lazy all the time and I just let them because it would be a nightmare to try and make them understand how hard is for me to even just get up everyday.
If you want I can help you. You can talk with me
Trust me, I understand so much, this is what I'm feeling like - we'll get through this one day :))
Depression can be sooo debilitating. It makes you feel so detached and disengaged and so unmotivated which another would see as pure laziness and procrastion which makes a depression sufferer feel even worse about. Its a cycle and its hard to break because of the strong hold this mental illness has over a sufferer.
This may be stupid, or it may not. But this is so relatable that it actually made me cry. The realisation that soooo many people mistake depression for something else and it sucks. And everything he said, sucks. Fml
Mia Maihi Yeah, but I don't think we can really blame most people for taking our depression the wrong way. Sometimes, I can imagine that it'd be hard to tell for others that we act the way we are because we're sad. And it's just so hard for them to understand because it's difficult for us to explain it to them. But yeah, it can be annoying that others are not able to understand or go up to us to talk about our feelings if they sense that we are depressed.
thank you
for this
and for being alive
It's about time sombody said this! Im not as extreme and I am able to get up but my bones feel heavy and I just don't even want to get dressed.
This accurately describes and I'm so glad I found this video
Your TH-cam channel's blowing up now! You have something that motivates you now! Keep grinding bro!
i really appreciate this, thank you.
I could never explain that. Great work.
I washed my hair today!! I was having a really really heavy day- like sleeping in every single one of my classes- and I thought long and hard about sleeping and dealing with it in the morning, or just getting in the shower. It’s 11 pm and I’m so proud of myself I thought I would share !! It is probably not anything to you guys.
Now to tackle the three piles of clean laundry that’s been sitting in baskets for a week ! I know I will do it
Beautiful. Thank you.
Thank you very much for the video you are awesome brother I hope you live an happy and healthy life and I hope your family friends and the whole also remain happy and healthy all their life I hope you remain at peace in your life thank you very much again for sharing this knowledgeable video with us
I can relate to this so much, whoever wrote this i love you and i understand you and you arent alone in this💓
This sums it up so perfectly.
Man having so many bad days lately... This is so relatable
very good editing! good content, accurate and truthful. thanks
Simple, neat, straight to the point and highly relatable.
Spot on dude. It’s scary how accurately this describes me.
thank you for the video
Hey thanks for doing this!
This video just explained exactly what I'm feeling but I still don't know exactly whether it's depression. It is hard for me to get up in the morning but I just do it because I know I have to. I can put up a nice front in people's faces, always laughing and smiling but in reality I suffer A LOT of negative thoughts. I binge eat 24/7 and can't understand why. I want to get a job and do something with my life. I know where I want to work and what I want to do but I have no motivation to start the process. When I did work there were days when I just wanted to stay home and not deal with it. There's days when I'm open and seem happy but there's other days when I'm quiet and to myself. I honestly do have suicidal thoughts from time to time but I try to quickly dismiss it. I just don't know what's going on with me.
I have depression, anxiety,stress..
I just want to give up life 😭
This video is absolutely moving.
My parents call me lazy and unmotivated but they don't know that I have depression
I always stay in bed because I don't have motivation to get up and my parents always say why do you procrastinate all the time why are you so lazy why don't you just GET UP and I just want them to know that...I CANT DO YOU NOT SEE OPEN YOUR EYES TO THIS REALITY THE FACT THAT THIS WORLD IS SO MESSED UP THAT I DONT HAVE THE COURAGE TO GET UP AND FACE IT ALL AGAIN. They think I'm happy but in reality I'm not. I don't know why but I can't get the help I need they don't understand I'd rather tell a stranger then someone I know because they will just judge me over and over again and I can't take it anymore... I'm sorry for ranting but I'm out of options and I'm alone so I figure maybe someone will see this and finally care.
Edit: I wanted to write an update a year later and sadly there has been no good change in fact everything has gotten worse since I wrote this original comment I have gone through hell and I'm not back yet iv been emotionally and sexually abused which has led me to not be able to function normally in school because being around my male teachers scare me now my parents yell at me more and still call me lazy, stupid, liar, I'm not good enough,and I'll never be good enough iv gotten to my braking point and I don't know how much more I can handle thanks for anyone who has seen this comment and cared even if caring was just a thought that went through your head
i hear you and completely understand, to this day my parents still have no idea about what i had to go through, etc. I just rather open up to people i just met cause it is easier. It is sad and stupid when the people closest to you are actually so distant :( I used to have a bad period that i would just spent more than a month like this, just sleeping or watching movies with no actual interest, either than just trying to escape my own thoughts, took me a lot to get through it, but i did it. So I hope you get better as well cause life is worth it ;)
Meowthee thank you
Light imagaY When you're ready, look up Byron Katie videos. An old lady that found a way to live. Judge your neighbor, write it down, ask four questions then turn it around- Byron Katie:)
Who are You thx
Meowthee I had not idea life had a worth. I have to protect my parents happiness that’s why i joined their religion and devote my fckin self for 5 fckin years i was blind for 3 years but my fckin eyes are wide open now i dont believe that earth would just fckin magically turn into paradise i dont believe in god, god is a word we use to answer things that we sont have answer yet. We got to school to get a fckin job and live our but behind all that school is just a fckin system that would make us a worker for thr country noe think about this we work to get a fckin salary then company would get money as well and government get fckin money as well and make the country better fcin humans are selfish shites who only think how to make things better and that what countries are doing right now humans want to get fckin higher than anything else i had given up on life im just waiting for my death and see where fckin life bring me living a lie is better than joining this society i might sound fckin psycho but all this sht is in front of us but people just ignore it and keep on living but depression force u to fckin put all thing in ur brain and realize how reality is and how sht life now dont get me wrong in dont hate people who do everthing to make our society better cus if all peoplr are like me we would still be living in stone age and thanks to them we are living with comfort thx to them so im just gonna waste my life on this comfort and wait till where life take me
Having been through and mostly recovered from many years of depression, this is very accurate.
Spot on, brother. Spot on.
Great video, thank you.
I cannot believe the amount of people saying "you want to be depressed." Regardless of how much you try to figure it out.
My teachers always say to just rest or go for a drink when my depression comes they don’t understand I thought I was crazy I’m so happy they made this vid I hope my friends and teachers watch this and understand a bit more
this is so true I've been diagnosed with depression for two years now and this is how it is
Yup. I’m revolving mostly in the bad days right now. My depression is fueled by the everyday events occurring all the time. Knowing exactly how many people and non human animals die every year, month, week, day, second is extremely horrible. I’m currently in school and so far this year, I’ve spent a whole month absent plus a week of half days. The best part of my day is when I get to go back to sleep.
Thank you ! 😔
To all people here, I love you.
This really describes how depression makes me feel. Good to know I'm not alone.
So accurate. Love this video
this is all so true i have lived like this for several years now sence i was a kid not everyone is lucky enough to have people worth geting up for in the morning or to get u out of the house to help some have nobody to those who have nobody just know u are loved by someone in the shadows or the other side of the world
You described me so well.
it’s scary how relatable this is
thank you for this video
Everything that you said was on point. This is extremely accurate.
"Don't assume you know what's going through my head" accurate af
This video is so relatable.. Its crazy
Thank you
Sitting here with tears in my eyes because I'm so shocked about what I've been through and so proud I made it.
Man... Just by looking at the comments you can tell how awfully HARD is to get through it. I have been really scared recently because I have a friend who suffers depression, and I KNOW that I could never understand how painful it is for her to live like that every day. I don't even ask her '' how are you? '' when I talk to her anymore because I assume she's not having a ball at-all... Yo know what I mean? And I try to cheer her up reminding her of how beauty of a person she is, reminding her how shiny the lives of the people that love her are when we are with her, I try to make her laugh even if I'm not the funniest person at all and I tell her that I will never leave her alone and I will always be for her whenever she needs me but still... I'm soooo afraid because sadly I can't be with her 24/7 to take care of her, when I'm not with her, I can only pray to God to protect her and show her a way, and at the end of the day I ask myself... What else could I do to help her out? People in the comments who are suffering from depression... What cheers you up? How do you like your friends to help you when you're in that rock bottom? I know depression doesn't go away just by making your friend laugh or by taking them to a walk or something... I know it's a process, and sometimes I think she just needs a purpose, something that drives her to continue, please, somebody help me out. I'm afraid that one day I wake up and she might be gone.
Well for a depressed anxiety or you could say I have 3 of them 1. Depression 2. Anxiety 3
Social Anxiety
Which is really hard to deal with.
You could help her by taking her to a therapist which can help him out well depression is not very gone if you used that option but it can be cureable. Does she only says it to you in that case share or told him to share it to her parents because it may help her because time to time it can be hard to deal a or dealt hi with so tell it. It may take also time to cure well you can try I haven't been cured also.
I feel like all that is actually necessary in life is 1 the slightest hint of confidence (even the courage to raise a hand to answer a question that you know the answer to) 2 someone to be open with (a friend, sibling, close relative) 3 a voice, it's as simple as saying hi to a stranger. Some people don't have any of these, maybe literally.
And I'm not from the movies so my thing is, "Someone's gotta suffer, out of all the different mes, I guess I have to do the difficult task."
Forward I go into the painful place of reality.
This is so true.
That nap part is SPOT ON!
I don’t really know if i have depression or not but i can relate to these so much
Depression and anxiety is the worst combination ever, it just ruins your life. I remember at work they had award shows for the best employees of the month and whenever I'd get near the top of the table I'd come in a few hours late or not turn up at all because I was too scared to stand up in front of 200 people if I won, the struggle is real 😭
This is relatable! I know I’m not alone.
thank you
These depression videos describe me so well.. I think this might be it.
Wow...so accurate I'm going to cry
