- What would your reaction be to seeing your friend posting a bunch of pictures of themselves every single day with the hashtag ‘depression’? While many people may think that it’s a way for them to get attention, these behaviors may really be a cry for help. The person doing it may actually be struggling with their mental health.

Worst advice my parents ever gave me: “Stop being sad. We had it tougher when we were your age.”
And they wonder I never open up to them.
MY PARENTS SAY THE SAME DAMNED THING AND THEN TELL ME I CAN TELL THEM ANYTHING
Uh
Well
U see i cant
Because every time i tell u about my struggles u ridicule me-
My dad tells me that while I’ve had bad he’s had worse and that he knows me when in reality…
He doesn’t.
Very true, It’s really sad, Not only that but it’s like when they say that there like taking it out on you like it’s ur fault so ur not allowed to be sad or feel that way because they think or thought they had a worse past not only that but it’s not even about that it’s about u being there for them not lecturing them and making the kid feel like they need to hold it in and never let it out because you think you had a worse childhood and then if you don’t then they start playing the name calling game, Your a baby, Grow up, ect, Really sad 😕
Wow my family was like that too. They were caretakers if my grandma and they left me to take care of her. I opened up about how they were treating me during that time and they just ignored it.
When I was little, my mom told me that kid don't feel stress or depressed. That just shut me
This right here “Their love squashes my self hate”. Having a loving community will get you through tough times. What’s even more turning that love on yourself is the most powerful force to get you out of a slump 💜
When i feel upset and sad, i just help people around me. When someone thank me i usually forget my sadness. 😊
Yea same with me.... 😊😊
It really makes me happy while making someone happy
Good strategy
Pov: you are an ENFJ
Yeah idk why helping someone out just feels so rewarding and nice
i mean, why would people even fake depression.. depression is really serious. to all the people that really have it, just remember that you're strong.
Tysm
I think it's discusting anyone who takes depression should be ashamed of themselves
Because they love attention and can’t live without it. People who fake depression to get attention I mean.. Attention can be addicting and some people can get addicted to it.. So much that they fake it..
My sister faked depression in middle school because she thought it was cool. She ended up convincing herself she was actually depressed and then became depressed and now that she's 18 she still struggles with depression because of what she did in middle school
Many people also have different issues that causes them to feel like they have to fake things to get attention. Anyone who fakes mental illness is mentally ill just not with what they claim they are
I think you're underestimating what people will do to get attention. Not to discount a depressed person's journey, but I've seen people who use their physical ailments, mental health issues, and other problems in order to rope someone into enabling their worst behaviors.
There are depressed people out there but let's not forget there are also narcissists who take advantage of people's empathy.

You’re beautiful

It's sad to witness more and more people seem to get depressed...
The happier I get each day the more I realize how down everybody seems, it's kinda strange, when I was depressed everyone else looked like they had their shit together, but thats just my perception I guess.
I desperately needed this I was so confused if it was me just being an attention seeker.
whenever people call you a attention seeker say this is me and if you don’t care piss off
from my experience, it’s better to not assume that a person is an attention seeker if they say they have depression. I believe that everyone experiences depression differently. saying “you just want attention” to someone who says that they are depressed could worsen their depression more. that’s all i had to say, have a good day
This is what people need to understand more 🥺🥺
I feel like it's a common thing now a days for some people to use the word "depression" to justify their distracted actions, behavior, failures, etc..
This makes some other people who r really going through depression doubt themselves as whether they really have depression or that's just an excuse.....
Felt it in spritual level
I agree. The word itself is so overused by people who don’t have a real depression disorder. It’s the same with people throwing out PTSD all of the time lately. I’m so done with people using that phrase instead of just saying something like “It scared me so bad”. The level that people gravitate to using the most extreme description for a snippet moment of a time of fear in their lives just baffles me. It’s like they’re having a pissing contest to see whose feelings and thoughts are more dire.
I’m here to get more understanding of my friend. I’m super listening attentive but sometimes I just have to be brutally honest with her. For the most part she thanks me for explaining a more logical perception of what she thinks is reality from other people around her that are letting her down or hurting her feelings. It’s almost like she sets herself up for the downfall knowing that it will give her something to complain about later when all she really wanted was attention from people. And yes…it’s mostly that freaking Facebook. She won’t stay off Facebook. She listened to me a while back and stayed off for 2 or 3 days and she said she felt better and then it’s wash, rinse, repeat.
These videos always help me to understand more about me and what I feel. I just want to say thank you. Truly.
This is what my depression feels like. a part of my mind is constantly yelling at me for the tiniest of things, and with bigger mistakes it tells me I’m just a failure. It even tells me to commit, and I’m just a nuisance.
your feelings are valid
Don't hold it
Your smile is beautiful

You're a blessing

I’m all alone except for my LDR, she pulls me through the dark days, but with work and 7 hour time difference we barely have contact 😔
And now she’s on holiday and we can’t talk at all, and she’ll go on holiday in December too, kill me now
… So I misread the title as “Signs you’re NOT depressed, attention seeker.” And I watched the vid. Was about to call my therapist when I realized

Semi-annoyed but I’d ask them about it, I’m not open about my feelings because I don’t want to be a burden
Sometimes not even encouraging words help depressed people, unfortunately. :/
Why is it even so releted or I was the one who was in search for this comment
Why would they? Depression isn’t sadness. Complimenting someone with depression isn’t going to suddenly “fix” them
@@MeemahSN Ik, but like other depressed people just need some encouraging words. Others don’t mind the encouraging words, it’s not going to fix them, but they may feel a little bit better.
@@HiImUnderYourBed possibly
@@MeemahSN true
I tried to never make a big deal of my depression and never told anyone. No one cared or noticed. They care if I had a hoodie over my face or that I was crying. I was "cheery" and "happy". I hate seeming like I was faking it. I was distressed and scared. I didnt want to make a big deal because no one would care.
But I believe that I had depression. I did my best research.
The one is that I couldnt get was a therapist. My mom wouldnt really pay for one.
So i had to go through this time thinking that I was just feeling a little bit sad... Right?
It lasted weeks to months.
I had low energy, stayed in my room to long, constant sadness, feeling like i wanted to be goners, constant nightmares, SH,
I finally talked to my mom about it and she didnt put my to the side and actually helped me. She said that she noticed and was concerned. I felt so loved and glad for once.
And the reason I thought I didn't really have it was because...
Literally most of my friends said that they had it so I didnt wanna feel like I was faking or being quirky, so I tried not to question it because what if my friends were really depressed?
1:28 Beautiful. This really does bring a lot of clarity in my humble opinion. I never thought of this way but it makes sense.
Your voice just made me feel better:)
I dont even know whats wrong with me so here i am questioning how i rlly feel
i just really want someone to listen, and to take me seriously
naturality
People always say:,,stop seeking for attention" or ,,you dont look like it you dont have deppresion"
I have been battling with mental health and depression in the final year of high school and my college years, nobody was there in my darkest time, until I met my first boyfriend in my college years, but I didn’t talk openly about my mental health to him, and my mental health and depression got worse when he broke up with me and moved away.

I sometimes draw good drawings, and I think is only for attention or something, and I don’t like it about my self, and idk how to change it.

You cant fake depression, i can still have depression and fake it without knowing it.
People are different
I don't know if I do cause I'm never diagnosed, but it's just these past few months I keep having intrusive thoughts and although I have them from time to time they never affected me emotionally before (like words would come up in my head and triggered me to cry or act angrily on impulse). Now I'm easily agitated or sensitive in tears, I'm unsure to tell my parents because I don't even know what caused me to feel this way. They're both straight forward peoples so if I'm sad they would like to find a solution as fast as possible, but sometimes the results aren't always as I expected but I couldn't tell them that so I just agreed. I keep telling them chapters of what made me sad that specific day but I don't know why I'm unhappy in general but then laughing the next with guilt. Sometimes I want to talk to a friend but I don't want them to see me as faking it. I don't even have a close friend I trust to talk about this in details without the fear of judgment and ruining a school relationship when I barely had one. I don't even know what I want out of it I just want to go back to being in a happy normal state where I'm happy, healthy, active, and creative again.
Well, I thank you as from your videos I found out I have Anxiety and depression, I am only 12 and really think my parents would probaly pin it on my tab :/ even the reason I have Anxiety is that they stress me out whenever my exams or tests start, They allways say "you better get good marks" like When I don't They say "Why? You are so stupid now -__- you should' have learnt!" And I don't like that they say that to me...it made me cry once I kept saying things like "I am abosulte mistake" or "No one belives me , Even tho I try my best" And if they found me crying that'II probaly say "Don't be so sensitive!" that' the reason I don't open up to them most of the time...I'I try to take care of myself tho and yes I did self-harm myself 2 times luckily it always failed..
It might not help allot, but here’s a very little something I’ve kept in mind that’s still helping me to this day
“It’s not about me” it’s not always about you, the way people treat and think of you will never be objectively only your fault. Right now, from their perspective, you’re probably not the main character in their story, it’s about what *they* want from you, and it’s wrong of them to treat you like that because of a shortcoming like that
They are your parents, they signed up for a life of patience and support, yet they aren’t committing to it and are instead handling it like whatever this(what you describe) is, and that’s *their* problem, though it effects you, the core of this isn’t your fault
You never signed up to this, just because they adopted or birthed you doesn’t mean you’re indebted them control over what your skills can or can’t do.
I hope you can make it through this, stranger,
And that you’ll eventually get to a point where control of your life belongs to you over them
At this point I don't even know if I'm genuinely depressed or I'm just a attention seeker
I have always engaged in #4. It's just the way I am. I am open and honest about what is happening in my life. I don't like to hide and only show my happy moments, because my social media accounts are something I might look back on one day, and when I do, I want to see the REAL me, not some fake stuff I wrote to make other people think I have the best life ever.
That said, I've found that MANY people, even people you might once have considered dear friends (and certainly family as well), actually get ANGRY when you post openly and honestly about what you are going through. And frankly, that is just such a shame. Maybe they feel like they're expected to do something to help the depressed person out. But personally, I don't think a single depressed person expects people to help them out when they talk honestly about what they are going through. They just need to get those feelings out of their heads sometimes, to try to make room for the light.
If you are someone who has a depressed friend who does this, the nicest thing you can do is just send them a comforting word - even just a word! But for goodness' sake, PLEASE DON'T attack them and publicly shame them for sharing what they are going through! I mean, how can you possibly think that is the right or kind thing to do? I just don't understand such people and honestly never will.
I used to be depressed but never mentioned anything but if we did stuff about feelings the first one is say is depression then anxiety
Very helpful !!!! I definitely appreciate it... This is my confirmation about things I asked myself just about a week ago....
I suffer from depression and most of this points are valid points😅
Depression doesn't have a cause. Its not because u are always constantly sad. Its due to chemical imbalance in the head. So sometimes i become happy, 2 mins and its gone for another 5 days or even months. Anyone can be ill. I've once heard "Just because you are mentally strong doesn't mean u are mentally fine, and just because you have poor mental health doesn't mean you are always ill". Anyways fate has brought this community together, else i or you may not even be here to understand ourselves and others better. Stay strong everyone :)
I too am depressed but i don't like telling anyone about it ...... people shouldn't joke about it because of them people doesn't take depression seriously ....even my parents don't care about my depression they think it's just a way for me to stop studying ....but the truth is I am suffering alot and it's lot worse than one can imagine ....my chest pains alot too if i become a little bit sad now
a big one is the last one. I always doubt if I’m actually depressed because I like and have to talk about it to people sometimes, because I can’t cope without doing that. but when others are depressed they keep it to themselves and I’m just there like “maybe I’m overreacting”
A friend of mine called me a 14 yr old emo white girl because i refused to say the n word and when i called out her horrible and narcissistic behavior, she said and i quote "atleast i dont cut myself LOL" "you do it for attention, grow up"
Attencion seekers: *write that down, write that down!*
That's my problem I am introvert....
I don't need attention.
I just want to feel good

@@josephsiddiqui6472 alright they were actually cringe now 😭
To about 85-90% of people that I have ever known, including family, depression IS attention seeking.
Anybody else to embarrassed to talk about it with people you know? Like, I'm cool talking here and on Discord or something, but Instagram, I can't 'cause I don't want people I know in real life to see it
We rant on social media because nobody understands us in our real life
My situation is i feel like i going through a lot of things even i'm just 17, after my grandmothers passed away, i feel like my world just dark, i can't feel like myself anymore, i myself even don't know either i need more attention or depressed... everywhere i go, i always thought of keeping my distance away from other people. I don't feel like i want to attract people anymore.
The comments are filled with attention seekers who are latching on to this video as justification for their extremely annoying behaviors...
and just today i thought abt being involuntarily faking some simptoms that can somehow be a mental illness lmao
I have lots of friends but im still depressed and lonely
The fact that no one understands you makes it worse
imagine calling the suicide hotline and then u say something like : " ay what's up guys .. its biggie cheese >:D "
So true
Everybody thinks I fake this
this may not be so important but I want to say something, my best friend hates me, and I think I won't see him again never, he said some things that really hurt me, but I love him, I don't want him to go away, cus I feel lonely, I feel so comfortable with him, I told him too much things about me, I really tried to make him stay but I think nothing will work out, he hates me and the worst part is that I blame myself for everything, I really love him, I know that nothing last forever, but I really had the hope to be with him, I still love him, even if he said horrible things to me, I want him back but I don't know what to do
by the time someone reads this I might be accepting what is happening, and letting him go, but I will never forget him, I will try to find him again, even if it take a day or a hundred years.
if he reads this, I just want to say that I love you, no matter what, I will be there for you even if you don't care
sorry for saying al this weird stuff but I really want to talk with someone, I feel so lonely without him, and it's been just a day since he left, I want him back
thanks :)
idk this feeling but it feels like i just got stabbed into my chest
Well i just say im stupid or insults to my self like "i hate my self so much" or "im r@t@rded"
And my school friends think im joking or just faking i got beat up today maybe some day if i could i can tell u of my everyday life
Its hard but im trying my best to fix this.
My fried said I was faking it when I just wanted to talk to someone idk who to talk to anymore

I really really hate the mentality of people online these days. They see some poor 13 year old online saying they have depression, and instead of comforting them it's immediately shaming them, diagnosing them is just as bad as them diagnosing themselves, you're not a doctor and have no idea what they're dealing with. Hating on someone who actually has depression isn't worth the risk, that kills people. Depression doesn't have an age range and kids are dealing with a lot of hormones and stress these days. Adults online shouldn't be bullying minors.
Preach
As harsh as it sounds, seldom do people actually have depression on the internet, well at least those who speak up about it. I’ve had seriously depressed friends a few times over the years and I can easily differ an attention seeker and a victim. Early teens are especially those who tend to exaggerate, mentioning depression after a breakup or a bad grade when we all know depression is much more than that. This is just what I have observed, don’t need to agree with me.

@@maris7457 well, it helps to also show an attitude towards fixing those problems.. e.g. i am an empathetic guy, and i can listen to people talk about their problems, but internally i get really pissed off if i read a defeated attitude focused only on seeking understanding but not solutions, or at least openness towards trying stuff to fix themselves... and that's for two reasons:
1. i have my own problems i need to fix, thus i care to find out what works for others;
2. i am an engineer, not only by qualifications, but by nature too, i need to fix stuff... some people even told me stuff like : "i don't need solution, i just want you to hear me", i do understand their need, but they don't understand mine and why sometimes i can't "comply".

the thing is with me, so many people have put me down by saying i’m trying to get attention. and if i post anything along the lines of depression i just get told to shut up. so now i just live in fear of showing my emotions, which i know is unhealthy but it hurts so much to show them by the way people react :(

Same here to
Same here but not I don’t even know if they’re right. I do seek attention alot but I don’t know if I’m really depressed. I can’t trust my self I might be faking it without knowing. I’m just confused
I think the main reason why people think people with depression are attention seeking is because of the great amount of people who fake it or make it seem like a joke. Just like tics and stuff, if someone is faking it and they get caught, people will be suspicious of every other person who actually has a disorder/mental illness. If ur struggling, please don't be afraid to get help, there's so many people out there that care about your health❤💕
I often wonder if I'm actually just faking this, but then I remember I'm diagnosed and that it ruined many years of my life.
For those currently struggling.. ❤️
Remember that you are not drowning. Yes it will be difficult, but never stop making tiny steps in the right direction ❤️🚀🌙
If its online and someone says they're suffering, I don't know if its true or not so I find it best to care anyway.
There is a safe way to "self harm" that feels very rewarding: exercise! Work hard on your physical form and even if depression returns you still have "a thing" that is progressing that is within your control.
Lmao that is just a nice way of saying “you hate yerself, just go to the gym!” In most cases of depression people dont have the motivation to get out of bed, let alone go to a gym. Even if there are those who still self harm AND go to the gym. I highly suggest you to not say something like this to someone who is dealing with self harm because they either heard something like that 20 times already or it seems like you are underestimating their problems. Not saying you are doing this its just a heads up to be more careful with your words when it comes to victims of self harm.

Self-destructive behavior comes in the form of mostly starving myself, but I think this fits to that a bit. Also, I feel close to the rest of the points, and your videos really help me understand my emotions and reasons of them. I have never thought about this like that before. Thank you 🤗
I been depressed this past week and my friend said I was attention seeking when I definitely wasn’t. What a coincidence for this video to pop up 😂
The only thing I don’t do is talk about it openly, I try to give little hints but barely do that right
A lot of people don’t know what depression is like. They don’t know what zoning out into a world of black nothingness feels like. I may laugh at things, but that’s a way so I can help with depression, every day my brain zones out, and it starts thinking about what-ifs, (because I have anxiety as well) and it feels like I go home, and zone out, and my mind just begins thinking of depressing thoughts. A lot of people thought I was an attention seeker, but I don’t know how to do anything else during the day. I’ve gone through stages of feeling like suicide. after my aunt passed away from dementia, I’ve just felt so far off the shallow end of life. And I can’t go back. Because depression is the dumbest thing I’ve ever had. Because apparently my brain needs a dictionary-definition perfect balance of chemicals. And I can never sleep. I’m just so done.
@the sewer pig plz don’t say that. This is how u can make a person even more depressed then they already are…
Me: having somewhat normal day
Psychtogo: here's why your depressed
I mean would that really make you feel any worse if you already know you're kinda' fucked in the head department

Nothing about attention seeking was mentioned for a comparison, which would have been useful. After all, the hyper, happy, person who won't let anyone else talk about anything that isn't her claims she has depression and threatens others with self-harm constantly, simply to keep the conversation only focused on herself. I was getting stitches in my head and told my group chat about it and she bursts in saying "look I put my hair in a braid today! Let's talk about my hair or I'll cut it all off!"
I just thought to myself, "I want to go home" while I am in my house. With this thought came a late revelation. Home is not a house. Home is a feeling of being safe, happy, and comforted. It's a feeling I haven't had for months, even years, and I have really begun to miss it. With depression, I have really lost my "home" such a long time ago.
I don’t understand myself because I’m known for my extreme positivity and happiness, but I feel often so sad inside, I just want to stop smiling and cry on my bed… I cannot be depressed, can I? A person that is depress cannot be happy sometimes… Can it?
Walking alone is not difficult but when we have walked a mile worth a thousand years with someone then coming back alone is what is difficult.

I dont know what i have at this point,I've had so many conflicting thoughts and I kept pushing them down and ignoring it telling myself that im just faking it,but now i really just dont know if i have some issue or if im being a baby about things
I really just come here to hear your voice it puts me to sleep you have such a beautiful voice
Why not both? Talk about depression online to gain attention from those who are interested or can relate. Just like this channel/video. A few extra likes or followers can very well be the difference between either you feeling alone/useless, or feeling like people care- and you have a good reason to live another day, post again, and maybe even find your outlet/career
I hate the fact that people think depression is attention-seeking. A friend of mine’s ex-partner never liked my friend spending time with me because she said I was an attention-seeker because he would support me through my depression and encourage me throughout my darkest days. She was also a narcissist and believed she could never do any wrong - and to this day I still don’t understand her reasoning.
I was putting more salt in my wound by beating myself up mentally for thinking that I'm just faking my depression, thanks Psych2go.
wow, this is a whole new way to look at this topic!! great job Psych2Go!!
today my friend said she wants to Kipp herself but I try to tell her talk about it she says no I don't need no help I don't know what to do she gets angry when she someone try to talk or snd she gets angry for when someone doesn't want to talk
Hope this video helped people who need help to seek help. Remember dont be afraid to reach out and share your story, it might just inspire others
I could related to all of the points.
Reminder :
Keep that beautiful smile on your face. If you're feeling sad, it's okay to cry. Hugs.. i'm struggling too. Maybe.. I couldn't understand how's your situation right now but trust me, everything will pass. Right now, i'm studying hard for my exam next week. After the exam, I'll be handling a lot of homeworks. I kept thinking about everything. But I'll never give up! ❤
Thank you for sharing! Which points do you find most relatable?
@@Psych2go I could not tell! Because all of the points I've found are the most relatable with myself ✨ ❤ By the way, I'll keep supporting Psych2Go channel!! Thank you!
I feel depressed even at a young age. But I don’t know really know if it’s really true. They say I’m attention-seeking but I just wanna be with a person to talk with. I have ADHD and it’s one of my insecurities. Just gonna say
it hurts
There are more effective ways of seeking attention, besides, if you feel that you need help or contact or just anyone to talk to, don’t you think it natural for your body and/or mind to hurt and long for said attention? Regardless of if it is or isn’t attention seeking, we’re naturally drawn towards the attention of others, especially if there’s something we can’t do alone, so in the end, yeah, you’re seeking attention, but that’s *not* a bad thing, if anything, it can validate your situation
I hope that wasn’t too confusing
As a young person, i was accused of going to my room “to get attention”. In reality, I was very depressed. I still struggle with it.
I don't know why but sometimes I feel kind of bad for attention seekers. I always imagine why they would want all the attention in the first place
I used to have this toxic mindset in 3rd grade where "if I didn't have any depression or mental illness then my problems didn't matter" so I started to pretend to be edgy or just stereotypically depressed so that I can feel as if my problems were finally valid. Looking back it's definitely disrespectful and toxic but I wish I could've just told myself that it doesn't matter if I had a mental illness or not because it's still a problem at the end of the day. That behaviour led me into a spiraling never ending sadness and toxicity in my head
I so so much relate to this , I would post on my socials about depression , anxiety and how Iam feeling but it seems like I was seeking attention to people but I was crying for help❤️ but now I have started therapy sessions 💃🏿 feeling good
