“People who have never dealt with depression think it’s just being sad or being in a bad mood. That’s not what depression is for me; it’s falling into a state of grayness and numbness.” - Dan Reynolds

#4 really hit me hard. I constantly feel like I'm guilty for having any amount of sadness or problem because of what other people around me are going through. I tell myself I have it made and feel guilty like I'm taking it for granted when I feel like I'm unhappy. I feel almost selfish in a way.
Every single day and moment. I tell others I'm selfish, that I am fine when I'm not, simply because when someone else is also in pain I immediately feel guilty that I am still wanting someone to care about me even when they have it worse.
As a man who used to struggle with depression these are the most helpful things I can think of: -Take Risks, don't let the fear of failure stop you from trying something new or something great -Do things that genuinely scare you or that you're afraid of (Even little things like climbing onto a roof and helping to put up Christmas lights if you're afraid of heights or saying something to the cute cashier girl other than "hi" and "thanks") -Pursue an ambitious goal, one that a lot of people don't believe you can achieve (It doesn't even matter if you fail this because no matter what the pursuit of an ambitious goal will make you a better person and give you fulfillment) With that being said, do your best to succeed -Have a passion, basically this means to find a hobby that you enjoy so much that you will spend hours and hours getting better at it -Study history, pick a role model, and then analyze the traits of your role model and list the reasons why you admire them. Then start to emulate these traits in your everyday life and eventually you will become your own role model. -Don't ever quit something just because it's hard (You can quit a crappy job if it's not the right fit for you, but never quit solely based on the fact that something is difficult). Embrace challenges and look for opportunities to improve yourself mentally, physically, and spiritually. -Never put yourself down. Try not to think negative things about yourself and especially never say them out loud. You will think more highly of yourself when you say positive things about yourself, at the very least avoid putting yourself down on purpose. -Live purposefully. Have a direction for your life and if you don't already have one, make one. Decide what's most important to you and live accordingly. If you have a family or even a single loved one, your first priority (other than serving God if you're religious) should be to provide for them, to protect them, and to help them become the best version of themselves -Develop Integrity. I can't even explain how much this increases your self-repsect. Be honest, be trustworthy, don't cheat (unless you're in a street fight) and live with honor. -Find a hobby that you're really passionate about and strive to become a master at it -Finally, probably the most important thing I can say is to think less about yourself. Think less about yourself but not less of yourself. In other words, think about other people before you think about yourself, especially your family and loved ones. If you're focused on helping them with their problems I can promise you that your problems will become less important and less troublesome. Look for opportunities to help others and make them feel better about themselves. Nothing lifts you out of depression better than helping someone out of theirs. I hope this helps. I realize that some people are genetically predisposed to having a harder time with depression, but I believe that there's nothing you can't overcome with a strong mindset. In addition, I strongly believe that going through depression and having such terrible lows actually gives you the capacity to feel even greater happiness and joy. The reason I say this is because when you feel genuine joy after being depressed for so long you can't help but feel grateful. The beauty of life is that we are meant to experience the full range of human emotions, from happiness to anger to jealousy to despair to joy. We couldn't feel genuine happiness if we never knew what it was like to be sad. If I could talk to whoever is reading this face-to-face, what I would say to you would be simple: don't quit. A quote from Winston Churchill kept me going in times when I thought I had nothing left, he said: "If you're going through Hell, keep going." Everything in life can be and is meant to be an opportunity to make yourself better, and depression is no exception. Keep fighting, all of you are descended from warriors no matter what culture or country you are from. You wouldn't be here today if it weren't for the conquering spirit of your ancestors. Live a life that would make them proud. While most of us will not fight in physical wars, no one is exempt from the battlefield of life. Depression can be a battle every single day, every single second in some cases. Keep fighting, it will only get better. And the more you fight, the more you will gain respect for yourself. I've conquered my depression. Every now and then it will start to try and creep back into my mind but I don't let it. I destroy those feelings with action. I go lift weights, I go running, I listen to metal music, whatever it takes for me to regain my confidence. You can conquer depression, no matter how severe it is. That doesn't mean you'll never have days where you feel down, but it does mean that you'll have the strength to push through and do what you need to do as a man regardless of how you're feeling. Stay strong, stay hard, and fight like dragons 🐉 You're going to be very glad you did.
Thanks for the tips, serious clinical depression here (the doc doesn't know how bad, but the therapist will.) I'll take any help I can get at this point.
thanks you so much, this really helped a lot. I had experience something bad when i was a child, i lost 2 people whom i cared and loved. This is the reason i have depression, i always tried to change it and sometimes i gets over it but then here and there it starts to creep up and take over me. I tried to put myself together but don't have the strength to keep on going. Always tied to experience something new fresh and Always thought that there are other who are judging me even tho they don't care who i am or what i do. Never said this to anyone so far i thought there i no escape to this but i also hate to lose, i want to fight till the end and i will fight till the very end and pull my self away far-away from this lonely place called void and my strengths are my family n friends. One last thing who ever is reading this, this is for you "you are not alone we are all in this together, for our family, for our friends, for our future, we will be human again. Find a friend whom you can share your pain, if not then youtube comment section is always open for you, Stay strong bro/sis"
No definitely no joke for some it's there own personal prison cell with no windows and it has sound proofing you cry out hoping someone will here you only to find can't make a sound in fear you will be judged.
I feel just about all of these things, and it makes me a little uncomfortable that I might have hidden depression, but calmer knowing what was really troubling me and someone can put it into words. Thank you so much for making this vid!

number 3 is so true for me, because everytime my depression kicks in I am desperate to seek company sometimes even though I am an extremely introvert person. I do this not because I need someone to talk to, I do it because it's a distraction for the "voices" in my head and the negative thoughts, and also a distraction for the unbearable feeling of void... All of this is also an excuse to drink and I feel stupid to do it alone. The worst part is when my friend/s go home and I am alone once again and all of those simptoms come back even stronger. I feel so bad for using my friends and family sometimes just for "distraction", but I don't want them to worry about me. I feel even more stupid and ashamed for this behaviour because I am a 28 years old grown man
I know how you feel, i do the same and i feel so guilty for it. Depression sticks with you. Just remember that your not alone and you can ask for help even though it’s hard.
I totally feel you there. But we’re human. We crave companionship and seek validation because everyone around us does the same. You shouldn’t shake yourself because the voices in your head are louder some times than others. We are just trying to find our way to survive this mental game we’re in. I noticed once I stopped being so hard on myself and accepted that that’s how I feel it’s so much easier to manage my depression and anxiety. It’s not a godsaving solution but having some control over my mind makes me feel sane. I hope all goes well for you.
@@pateris I was not talking about the time you want just for yourself, just "peace" you know. I am alone most of the time and sometimes I isolate myself even too much. The thing I was talking about is referred to some episode in which I have an actual suffocating feeling due to my negative thoughts and I just seek for some company to distract me because I am not able to do it by myself
2,4,5 and 7 hits me the most. I’m still trying to get over it, people say I’ve changed and there’s nothing I can do about that but I want to be genuinely happy like I used to be. What I believe is that it’s only a phase and everything shall pass
It's sad that many people can't see or feel the way you feel when you're depressed. I recently changed my therapist and at first he couldn't tell bc I seemed happy and can laugh about jokes. If I'd show how I truly feel, I wouldn't have my job where I need to smile and be friendly. I feel like society forces us to just 'smile the depression away'...
Ikr, if I go out of line just one bit everyone is being like "wHaTs HiS pRoBlEm?" So I guess I keep it secret until I just give up. I feel like that's what this shitty world wants.
All of these hit home for me. I never thought I was depressed. Now I understand why I always do these things that I didn't understand before. I thought something was wrong with me. Thank you for making these videos! It really helps.
oh my.. the third one 😭 i always do this. i dont wanna “feel” depressed so i always try to spend more time with my family. i feel like i push my feelings behind and ignore them. thank you for this video
All fun & games until your friends, that you value any and all time spent with, deeply care about and rely on to be there for you when you can’t stand being by yourself, kick you to the curb so that you’re left with virtually no one but yourself anyway, thus making the problem 7 or 8 times worse 😃
22 years ago this was me. I think it took 3 years and a lot of effort for the fog to clear. I got myself into classes three times a week, met new people, and started a relationship that lasted 18 years. I still know many of the people I started with, and we still meet monthly- now that COVID restrictions are lifted.
Thank you for helping me. I over think everything and I feel that perhaps I might have it. Then again, I have ADHD so depressive mood swings are sometimes common for me but the strange thing is their happening more than normal. And I recently lost my great grandmother so that might be the cause of it
@@michaelperez5822 oh no, that's really bad. But, admitting your depressed is the first step of getting rid of it. I would really appreciate it if you tell someone about this. It will make you feel better, I promise. ❤️
@@jakejoshuacalvero9257 its okay. I know life sometimes throws in dark times but it's just to test you and to make you stronger. I'm proud of you and you should be too ✨❤️
You probably hear that a lot but thank you for all the content in this channel! It’s helping me A TON. Congratulations for helping so manu people as well, I’m sure the content has literally saved lives.
I'm experiencing number 5, 6, and 7 rn. - I overthink even the small thing I've done or say. It hunts me and stays on my head for a long time - I lose focus and concentration too. I can't even construct a word to say spontaneously. I always think carefully every word that comes out from my mouth or mind so it will be unmistakable. - I disregard most affection or concerns even from the people closest to me, like family and friends. I just don't wanna asked about anything bout me cuz im not in the point where I can share my thoughts to others without confusing them. Cuz I myself still don't know what's exactly happening to me rn. I don't wanna claim that I have depression. It's just that i got some of the symptoms that I'm not gonna lie about. Please take care of your mental health always. It's not that easy to fight it. But at least let's seek some happiness in something that we do in everyday. Hugs to you from me. God will heal each and everyone of us😇💯
It’s funny how I’ve asked God to meet someone who has depression as I do but instead I get videos of this making me feel a little less crazy and not alone 🙂 like I’m understood… thank you.
Thankyou for this. I was always told that in depression I would not get out of bed or vomit on an empty stomach. So I was confused about how i felt because I get out of bed on time, follow my timetable as per schedule. Then I drown myself in movies or series. I watch videos until I'm tired enough to fall asleep late at night. Anything to avoid being in my head. I write fiction to convey my feelings and publish on Wattpad. Dont get me started on my insecurities and overthinking. I personally feel nobody likes me and finds me a burden. I write long messages to my friends about my feelings and then delete it all later because I dont want them to think I'm overreacting. I feel that one day they'll get annoyed by my presence. I cannot get myself to talk to or even think about my parents because I feel guilty about not doing good in life. I convinced myself long time back that I will not be happy, and that I should just deal with it. But I was always telling myself that I may not be depressed because i was told, that its not how I'd be if i were depressed.
I do all of these. I’ve been trying to escape my own mind by staying busy, but once I’m done, I’m back in the reality I’ve trying to get away from. I’m glad this video exists so I can understand what’s going on and try to correct it since others are definitely noticing it. Even people at stores I go to often noticed me just completely blanking out and trying to snap me back into reality. I’d blank out extremely fast, which is very dangerous while driving. 😔
Depression is a mysterious and insidious bloody disease, and so to you and all others who dare to spread a general awareness to others on the behalf of sufferers such as myself, I offer my most heartfelt and sincere thanks and applaud your efforts. The way in which you create this media is beautiful and the narration is delivered eloquently without becoming unduly verbose, as well as with a vocal tone that is somehow soothing, reassuring and well-meaning. As I said, the disease is mysterious. My dad had it. His dad drank heavily and tore his nuclear family apart with his bare fists back in the '40s and '50s, and his dad's dad, my great granddad, whom I only met once, greeted me at the front door in his birthday suit and apparently was always a withdrawn man who only ever bought his kids one pair of shoes each. My mom hanged herself in 2010 after a very long battle with the illness, and her mom never got out of bed, opting instead just to pop tranquilizers like Mogadon and snooze the days away, a trait she passed down to my mum. Don't get me wrong, though. My gran was rad! My point is that it seems there's possibly a bit of a hereditary element to the disease in my family. I myself am a miserable, frequently suicidal sod hiding behind a smiling and supportive demeanor most of the time. I know people say this and then prove themselves to be liars later on all the time, but I genuinely possess a strong belief that, as far as I'm concerned, is backed up by tangible, undeniable evidence that ending one's own life only launches one into another one defined by laws that align with one's state of mind. (Motivational point to be observed in that little tidbit is unfortunately a platitude, but in any case, live, learn, love and persevere! The dreams you dream at night when you sleep are the seeds of existences to come.) If you can excuse that massive digression, my sole intention in commenting, other than to thank the creators of the content for it, was this. There my very well have been more, but there was one case especially in which the word "or" was employed in the narration where an "and/or" would definitely have suited the scenario being illustrated far more adequately. It was something along the lines of, "depression can put one's mind into overdrive or make one incapable of thinking straight at all." This statement is not wrong, but it made me think (and the accompanying animation helped a lot with this line of thought) of all of the times that I've woken up in the morning with my mind racing at light speed, been overwhelmed by it completely, and resolved to cover my head with several pillows in an attempt to block out all evidence of the sun's having risen onto a new day pregnant with potential, and virtually force myself, with the aid of the building carbon dioxide under my pillows, to run away from all of that thinking, much of will be pretty clear, and hide away in the gentle, quiet arms of Morpheus (until the tricky fella launches one of his special one-of-the-ones-that-got-away dreams at me. Those pretty much get me up for good, usually starting with a notebook and pen.) So that's really it. Awesome video. Loved it. We need people like the creators of this video doing what they do. Just take note, in the noggin of a depressed person, everything is more often than not going on at once. It's really quite hard to bear. Overthinking, as you mentioned. It's MASSIVE! Downers are SO NICE, and therefore SO DANGEROUS. Ours is a life of uncomfortable compromises most of the time. Although I remember being in love once. That was awesome. Being in love worked better than anything I'd thrown at it before and anything I've thrown at it since.
This is how my depression started when I was 16. I threw myself into my school work as a distraction. Saw friends more than ever before because I tried to convince myself that this would make me better. I didn't start dropping out of my social life or showing more obvious symptoms of depression until a whole year later.
Each and every one of these 7 things has occurred to me in my life, some still won't go away even though I have my diagnosis and a therapist. It's so deep inside me, some since my teenage years. I am afraid I will never be able to change them for the better.
It’s sad how ik I have depression and anxiety but when I tell someone I seem like a attention seeker but it’s the fact I have been battling this since I was younger… and still no one will help this channel has helped me alot
After going through an abusive relationship, we tend to feel so alone, but finding other women who have experienced the same thing you have, can be very comforting. 💙TH-camr That Helps People Overcome Toxic Relationships
Several years ago I had a friend who I met online because she wrote a lot of really dark short stories. I made an effort to get to know her because I was concerned, but whenever we met or actually spoke on the phone she was quite cheerful and had a very different vibe. I stopped being concerned after a month or two and just enjoyed our friendship. Then one day her brother caked me from her phone because I was the last person she had spoken to before putting her boyfriend shotgun in her mouth and pulling the trigger. I was stunned, though I can't really claim to have been surprised. That's when I really understood that some people can only express their true feelings artistically. I'm grateful to have been her friend for a short time, and wish I had been able to make a bigger difference for her.
This is so true... I feel very depressed inside but i want my friend to see me as bubbly and cheerful and funny because who would want to see sad person.
@@nekomiruku, if you want a supportive friend who won't judge, please let me know. The goal is to help you find reasons to not feel that way, or at least to help you understand why you feel that way. Your feelings are valid, no matter how uncomfortable they might be.
How wonderful it would be to live in a world where the price of being your true self, being vulnerable, and being completely honest wasn't so high (at times, at least).
I just lately got diagnosed anxiety and depression. I struggled hidden that even i didnt think my odd feels was mental issues. This video is so true. I was always work too much and never wanted to be alone. For everyone i looked happy but home alone i was overthinking stuff, got chest pain, lose sleep or even panic attacks. Dont judge book by it covers.
I have a very deep depression. I thought ignoring is easy but the last or something depressing will always come onto my mind. I find it difficult to control. I also kept on hiding my depression so people wouldn’t think I’m a negative person because I want to do well in school and make friends. I didn’t know it’s gonna affect me. Everyday I would always listen to songs so my depression would be concealed throughout the entire day. I feel songs are my life, it’s just very important to me. :)
Feel free to use this as a thread to share what you’re experiencing / seeking advice for... I’ll go first I feel like I’m slowly declining in terms of my mental health. I’m almost 20 and I feel like I’m not supposed to be here anymore. Less of a suicidal feeling more of a lost and empty feeling. I want to live but don’t know how to break free of the dissociation and heavy feeling I always have. Almost every friend I’ve had has lied about me or betrayed me or stole from me (not exaggerating). I’ve never had a good friend and I feel really insecure to go out anywhere anymore. I rarely leave my house. Anybody else feel like this and if so have you found anything helpful to break free of this?
Sorry I can't give you advice but I'd still like to share my thoughts and experiences. I'm also feeling very lost and behind in life, I'm turning 21 in a month and I'm already falling apart physically and mentally. I've been abused my whole life by my caregivers and now I'm at a point where I've had enough suffering and want it to just end, one way or another. I'm having a full blown identity crisis because I can't distinguish myself and my character traits from the consequences of the abuse (e.g. being an extreme people pleaser, having no/very weak boundaries etc.), on top of that I have depression, CPTSD, anxiety and a whole lot of other stuff, including my body failing me slowly (from not taking care of myself and always putting others and their needs first). So yeah, it would be much appreciated if someone had some advice or something.
I’m 2 years behind you in a similar shituation. Graduated HS last month, my friends (yes, all of them) walked out of my life when I was in the peak of a depressive episode (which I haven’t yet recovered from). Most of them I just grew apart from very quickly, others convinced me they were with me up until they could and did walk out on me. I’ve dabbled with dangerously intense suicidal thoughts off/on for past 4-ish months. With no support from friends I feel completely lost in my own existence and I’m desperate to leave this self-depriving mental hell that I’ve been living in. Despite feeling miserable at times like these I tend to hide emotions under wraps (aka smile thru the pain), being afraid of potential consequences that may follow behind opening up about mental problems to friends or etc, biggest of which being that people I care about would end up leaving my side - which many inevitably did anyway regardless of what they knew about my mental health. I’ve smoked a lot of weed in recent months (with forced breaks every while) as the only remote form of a coping mechanism I have, although it is fun for me so that helps that i don’t use it solely for suppressing problems What I do know is that there’s light at the end of the tunnel. I’m working on getting a job and DL, very close to achieving both. Also starting college in 3 weeks which should significantly help my lack of social life. It’s not peachy, but I’ve got some things to work towards to keep my mind off of punching my own ticket. With all that said I’m taking your opportunity to let out a big “*FUCKING HELL IM TIRED OF THIS BULLSHIT*”
I'm in the same age group as you are & yes, I've had thoughts like these too lately because my closest friend has gone out of my life and it hurt like hell. But, we must at least try to live for our family's sake for all the love & care they give us; don't care about the people who went outta your life; let's just be there for people who still stand by us, accepting our flaws & let's appreciate them because, we don't get a second chance at life. You can try learning any new art, language, music (which is what I've been doing), or anything you want to learn because, it really develops your concentration towards something. Also, try working out everyday & reading stories/novels. Everything is temporary in the world & so is our feeling of depression. So,let's just live in the present, not overthinking the past or future but, never forget the life lessons you might've learned so far. Stay strong & never give up!! Hope this helps. :)
I am years (in age) ahead of you. And let me say that understanding yourself can help. By talking about this here you are actually helping yourself get better. Why? Well, no one here really knows each other, so the environment here of sharing is less dangerous than actually talking to those that know you. People can't lie about you, as they would have no idea who to tell. People here can't betray you, for the same reason. And people here can't steal from you. So this is a good place to start. Good friends, I won't lie. They are hard to find. People often told me that if I wanted friends, all I had to do was to be friendly. What a stupid thing to say. It shifts the blame on me (or anyone who hears that)as to why people don't like me. I can be friendly all day long, but that won't get me a friend. All that ever got me was more people to betray me. But, now, let me encourage you all. Figure out what you want your friend to be like. Figure out what you are interested in, i.e. games, hobbies. Then do those things. For example, I love Godzilla movies. And I have studied (yes, I'm weird) the history of the movies. So, I happened to mention something about them to a group of people that I know. I found one person who really wanted to hear about this. Bingo, friend material alert. It's a start. I am much older than you all as I will turn 60 this year. I have walked this road for quite a while. It does get better and/or you learn to handle it better. There is hope. That's what I wanted to tell you. There really is hope. I'll do my best to answer any questions about this if anyone wants to talk about this.
In your same boat at 18 moved away from my hometown and feeling so Lost and confused as to what direction to head into life. Spend most of my time feeling homesick and relieving the past just wishing I could go back and that the pain would stop. Its hard and I be feeling the sense of not wanting to be here anymore and that i’ll never get through the pain
This totally relates to me, its a mission to get out of bed bc I don't want to think about the past. Forgiving people which takes time for what they have done to you hepls a lot
Yeah, I do relate to these. I honestly get accused constantly of “overthinking”, and it always annoys me. Like, I’m just thoroughly thinking, right? Aren’t others underthinking? Idk… also #7 kind of got me too I guess, but tbh when others do express concern I often feel it’s feigned.
Imagine having PLENTY of red flags about you having depression, but your family just finds me perfectly fine, even after the figths i saw, the wounds i got and the words sent to me. how blind can you be to see someone clearly stressed out near you,hiding literally anything they are fond of of fear and they just going like "yeah sure they are fine".
This is so very good. I have chronic depression. This clip is very true and very helpful for me to remind my self of theses thing and great for anyone who may not have recognised they are depressed. It dose come in many shapes and sizes and each case is individual. Thank you for taking the time to do this simple informative and very true upload. I will definitely subscribe. This is the first upload I have watched and I am very impressed
Filling up any time you would have to be with yourself with a bunch of other things, like work, is such a big sign that there's something going on in your mind that you don't want to be a part of. If that sounds like you, just know that even though it's really difficult you will be better off if you face what you're hiding from. Even if it takes therapy or some other kind of help, that's okay and you can do it 💛
I have always felt like I have been on the back foot in life. I haven't done particularly well in my career and have quit most things I have started when they became too hard. I could never figure out where I was going wrong because I am very dedicated, loyal and work very hard on most aspects of my life. I had to deconstruct my life and take away a lot of the misconceptions I have been carrying about myself. I realised, I have always strived to be a better person, a successful person, a loving person and in most cases I've found it difficult to truly succeed in these areas. The funny thing is (which now seems obvious) is I've never fought for my mind. I have never put in the necessary steps to strengthen my mind and have realised that it is my severe anxiety and depression which has caused me to struggle so much in life. Any disagreement or confrontation eats away at me. Any failure I may have experienced gets blown out of proportion. I have never truly had any real self confidence. My self talk has always been negative and in all honesty, I have never really believed I was capable of anything truly successful, until now. I now realise that strength of mind and the work required to strengthen it is what has always been missing in my life. I have tried everything to get my life on track but that. Time to dust off the old brain and teach it some new, whesome habits. No more self medicating, only self love. My kids and wife deserve this and so do I. If you are reading this and connect with what I am saying, know that I love you and believe in you. It requires work, patience and change of habit but it will be the best gift you have given yourself. Since adopting this new approach to life, things have improved drastically for me and I wish the same for everyone going through this horrible disease called depression. It's not your fault you have been cursed with this, but you are the only person who can overcome it and you will. Having a hard look at my life and myself opened up this door and I feel, for the first time in a very long time that I can actually go out and achieve something and be the man my family needs me to be. Love, light and healing.
I used to be very confident, shy and star employee. But over the years, I've been in this toxic and hostile work environment everything has gone down hill for me. All they did was work us to death. The job was long hours and lifting heavy items in one spot. The job was so hard on my body I got a Herniated disc, arthritis, chronic fatigue, neuropathy, joint and muscle stiffness. I was miserable. Pain pills help somewhat. Too much gossip and toxic bosses. I developed anxiety and depression that I have to take pills for. I'm tired all the time. I never quit cause I felt I was letting down my family. I've applied for other jobs but never got the job. I figure it is because I did something wrong or maybe this job is a curse. I would just cry cause i wanted out so bad. I no longer get my hopes up to actually get the job because I'm used to being let down, harassed, and bullied at work.
Thank you so much. This video is so helpful for me as much as I've been going through depression and anxiety due to family and school demands. I know this has nothing to do with this but I especially cry over abusive parents tbh. I mean, I do love them but there's just sometimes that annoys me about them. I've especially been so much pressure and stress.
I feel like this video was made for me… I knew I was unhappy with my life for a very long time. But no one seemed to question as I always kept myself busy. I’m surprised why no one has asked me how I made it to the top of my graduating class, top of my department, winning awards left to right, publishing academic articles or applying to 10 graduate schools. The reality was… I was depressed. I felt like my home life was a battlefield and with the pandemic closing everything I had no where to run but my school work. Depression is a main factor I became so successful when graduating. But I was so unhappy with my life for years and I felt like I had no one to talk to or turn to when life was hard. I mean life is still hard even after completing all of my achievements. Now that I’ve graduated im like… well now what? I chose to delay graduate school for one year so I can start feeling the feelings I’ve been hiding for so long. Sometimes I cry when cooking or when driving to work but these feelings I never had a chance to feel because I always kept myself so busy. It’s weird not staying as motivated as I once was. But seeing videos like this helps me find my voice and also makes me not feel alone.
Having persistent depressive disorder is even worse when you combine it with anxiety, ADHD, and a brain injury that affects the frontal lobe on the right side of the brain. It complicates things more for me that I find it honestly hard to explain.
I decided to take a look at the last poem I wrote (turns out I wrote it as a song), and this is what I found: Smile through the pain, that's what I tell myself to stay sane. Wish I could go away, tired of feeling like crap all day. Unwanted by everyone, don't think I have ever won. Sick of everything and that is why I sing: I am ready to go, don't think I could reach a lower low. Singing this song for you to try and change your point of view. Please stop judging me a real friend could be the remedy For my broken heart, in part Or maybe just an apology. Might say I'm hateful when really all I am is hurt, Surrounded by nothing but cruel jerks. Bullies running rampant, why do they pick on me? Parents are the cruelest of all, and never called Out on bullying someone less than half their age, wish I could turn a new page. Sick of everything and that is why I sing: I am ready to go, don't think I could reach a lower low. Singing this song for you to try and change your point of view. Please stop judging me a real friend could be the remedy For my broken heart, in part Or maybe just an apology.
My friend lost her father a year ago and has slowly transformed into a zombie. She never talked, Estes or drinks. You helped me a lot- and maybe now that I know that she has hidden depression I can help her get better.
The animation style is wonderful. That being said, I truly enjoy joining in all these comprehsensive curated courses out there which do so much to help us with defining relation ship fundraising, building self confidence, improving our health and wellness, forgiveness and meditation, avoiding vulnerability, Empowering the World through Education, and of course and most importantly -dealing with hidden depression - all with the intention of getting more done n less time .preferably by COB or sooner.
I learn more again from this and i relate to all of it so much. It's really hard to have a depression and being alone with your thoughts just makes me feel suffocated so i kept needing to distract myself. Like whenever i wash the dishes i needed my phone to play music out loud to listen to so that i won't be hearing my thoughts while im doing the dishes. I just feel the need to do something so i don't have to deal with depression. Simple affection like compliments makes me feel weird and even though i appreciate it i don't fully accept it. I used to be angry when someone showed affection towards me it's because i wasn't used to it and i'm living in a household with people that rarely does affection. I guess i thought showing affection isn't normal. But now im slowly appreciating these from my friends and i gave them affection to them back. I'm slowly learning from depression and it has been my goal to get better and hopefully maybe get a therapist someday. I just wanna say what i experienced having a hidden depression. Thank you so much for uploading these videos! You guys help me so much and to alot of people and we are truly grateful!
i have suffered depression and when it got to difficult to bare i calld my doctor and got help couldn't barely focus at work and forgot my things in alot of different places and i cried all the time but now it's going in the right direction :)
Thank you Psych2go for helping and informing me in different mental health. I realise I have them and deal with different things thanks to y'all. Love y'all keep up the good work💜❤️
Isn't it great enough to be alive, our circumstances may affect our emotions but there's people who have all odds against them and had lost a limb or two and feel shattered. I'd rather feel depressed and learn why it is that I feel so, than be the one who is causing it coz everybody has some kind of problem everyday, so I think it's pointless to complain or explain to another human being who's also dealing with his or her own issues, it's only their mindset that helps them overcome these obstacles. Discipline is key.
It all make sense now. So that's what has been bothering me for the past few days. I've been feeling empty whilst overthinking constantly, trying to put myself in a happier mood. I've even thrown myself into being extra-productive as well
I really relate to this video. I suffered with all the sym you mentioned. I knew that I was making a really bad mistake and didn't know how to get out of it l felt everyone was against me and was on high alert all the time. I couldn't make decisions about basic things but I was being massively bullied by my sister who I didn't feel was very supportive. I was in a mess and thought I would have a stroke. Nobody was helping and l felt under severe pressure to sell my house and was rushed by the estate agents to make decisions. My sister and mum both developed cancer and dad has vascular dementia and early alziemers. It was too much and l broke down and made terrible decisions that have had a massive effect on me.
you know what sucks about being an adult with depression living alone? there is no time to feel the depression, there is no time to take care of it you HAVE to take care of your duties - work, clean, shop, etc. it's simply not the case of "just go to therapy, it will get better"
So true. Living alone is basically a survival, because if you don't think about something, no one else will. BUT it can also be an advantage that all these duties are keeping you busy and focused on external problems, and not going round and round your internal issues. At least that's my experience.
Thank you again amanda i like your voice and im sure your really nice many blessings to you and your family happyness i key too ive been suicidal depressed since 2016 but ive made it to back to real life
I am an avid #MentalHealthAwareness advocate and spoken word performer, and I love this so much. I travel the country trying to bring that awareness on stages, in classrooms, hospitals, and on my TH-cam channel, so I get excited when I see other advocates. 💙❤
I wish I could relate to the first one. I want to be productive and get things done. But I just can't get out of bed sometimes. I keep missing deadlines and still don't do anything to change that. I developed the habit of journaling this year but I can't even continue that regularly. I don't understand why it is so hard for me to set aside 5 minutes every day for journaling. Same goes with shower, skincare, and workout. I'm gaining weight and still can't get myself to stop eating junk food. I really wish I wasn't like this.
Hello Psych2Go ❤️ I teach Biology to Senior and Secondary Senior School students in a Government School. Today in Adolescence Education Programme,a flagship programme of UN I projected this video and explained the topic in detail. You know they enjoyed the show and asked a lot of questions to me. I projected other videos which gave an in-depth knowledge. They have also subscribed your channel. Thank you Psych2Go ❤️ You are doing and amazing work.. At least I am getting healed in the process of healing others.
J. Krishnamurti: “It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.” FIRST, don’t judge yourself for feeling depressed, especially if you’ve never been a generally happy person. I personally think “depression” is overused. Not because people aren’t depressed, but because the label is used in place of other emotions like sadness, guilt, burdened, etc. Depression is such a heavy label that society quickly wants to eliminate like a pest. Don’t kill the emotion because it’s been deemed a bad thing. Get to the source and find what is triggering it. Just thought about analogy of ants in your house. My dad’s place constantly has tiny ants, and not just in the kitchen. But instead of looking for how their coming in and why (his place isn’t the tidiest) he wants to use the traps and kill them. They go away for awhile, but more come back in a few weeks, and in more numbers.
Well, folks, I have been diagnosed with severe depression and it is true. But numbers 4 (feel pressured to seem happy), 5 (overthink everything) 6 (lose concentration), and 7 (disregard affection or concern) are me. I have a degree in Psychology (just a bachelor's) and I did not know about this. I feel that if I don't pretend to be happy, others won't like me or want to be around me. I have always overthought everything to the point I don't get anything done. And then, I know what I want to do, but getting started is almost impossible most days. Those people around me who love me (I have no idea why) I just can't understand. Why would anyone want to be around me, depressed as I am? So, to those of you whom this might affect and give insight to, you are not alone. I pray that most of you don't feel this way, but I realize that many do. I stand with you in depression. You are not alone.
I told my friend about my depression, all she said was "Your seaking attention, your happy all the time. Your always smiling!" Yeah... Because I don't want anyone to think I was crazy, or my grandma and grandpa would tell me that I had no reason to be sad, because I didn't have a job, or pay bills. So when I was younger I believed that .. so I faked my happiness.
Animation's top notch, it's not complicated but simple and straight to the point 👌 Well damn, If I say relate hmmm. Probably I'd pretend to be happy and okay infront of everybody, and overthinks a lot of things (even small things :v) which ruined my sleep schedule. But I felt relaxed after watching this, thanks a lot I need this 🙏
Even we say that in order to stop overthinking something divert your mind to something else and work then becomes the best escape mechanism. This feels relieved and the cycle repeats in toxic manner.
NUMBER 6!!!! I can’t focus or concentrate in class or when I try to do work - and when I don’t do good progress for the day I’m mad at myself :( it’s a constant cycle I can’t break out of.
This is the most relatable videio I've watched from Psych2go, I feel so bad all the time with a lot of suicidal thoughts always in my head and yet sometimes I felt that it didn't even matter because it couldn't even be considered depression because I always ate and slept and worked but deep down i couldn't stand being with myself and still can't, and it feels even worse to actually ask for help, because my parent can't afford it and there is no to talk to that could help and it just feels like it only get worse because the more things I try to do to get better just make me hate myself more because they just simply don't work
To start, this voice is SO soothing I could listen to it all day and I love psychology. I can also relate a lot recently and now I’m just plain confused as to what’s wrong with me aha
I generally express myself through creativity and I've been really stuck on drawing sad people on my computer. either this is a way for me to vent my feelings or its a way for me to express my fears about what could happen to me if I lose certain things in my life (friends, important possessions, family connections etc)
I do every single one of these things. Didn't realize hidden depression was driving these things....thank you for doing this video.....now I understand some ofy depression
I feel I'm having hidden depression after my breakup, I still say it's fine and work towards my goal to make all my dreams come true, but again, the simplest task seem hard to do, like when I play a game usually I play well but I seem to struggle to just do decently I want to make my life better and I still will think positively and now I realised that I have hidden depression, I will work my way out of that and be a better me Thanks for the info psyc2go, rly helped me see a lot of things
I have the same exact issue you aren’t alone trust me I really don’t know what to do either but maybe go talk to someone online or something? Or even talk to a trusted friend sorry I know this isn’t very helpful but I just want you to know you aren’t alone and I love you! 💕
Comment below if you like this animation style!
its so cute and informative!
I luv it
i think it looks good!!
Love the new art style
Yes bestiee

i wonder why do i do everything from that
Depression is definitely the invisible pandemic in our society
Yes it is.
It is visible, society just simply doesnt care
@@Safarichromosomeslol society itself is also causing it.
@@Bonniethebunny Exatly
@@Safarichromosomeslol Yeah I'm depressed even if I look happy I'm just growing up I'm 17 and still depressed😓😢
#4 really hit me hard. I constantly feel like I'm guilty for having any amount of sadness or problem because of what other people around me are going through. I tell myself I have it made and feel guilty like I'm taking it for granted when I feel like I'm unhappy. I feel almost selfish in a way.
Hearing others problems help feel better ngl
Every single day and moment. I tell others I'm selfish, that I am fine when I'm not, simply because when someone else is also in pain I immediately feel guilty that I am still wanting someone to care about me even when they have it worse.
Bro literally same. But the thing is, sometimes I AM actually selfish.
Always go through this and feel I'm disappointing God
Same😔
As a man who used to struggle with depression these are the most helpful things I can think of:
-Take Risks, don't let the fear of failure stop you from trying something new or something great
-Do things that genuinely scare you or that you're afraid of (Even little things like climbing onto a roof and helping to put up Christmas lights if you're afraid of heights or saying something to the cute cashier girl other than "hi" and "thanks")
-Pursue an ambitious goal, one that a lot of people don't believe you can achieve (It doesn't even matter if you fail this because no matter what the pursuit of an ambitious goal will make you a better person and give you fulfillment) With that being said, do your best to succeed
-Have a passion, basically this means to find a hobby that you enjoy so much that you will spend hours and hours getting better at it
-Study history, pick a role model, and then analyze the traits of your role model and list the reasons why you admire them. Then start to emulate these traits in your everyday life and eventually you will become your own role model.
-Don't ever quit something just because it's hard (You can quit a crappy job if it's not the right fit for you, but never quit solely based on the fact that something is difficult). Embrace challenges and look for opportunities to improve yourself mentally, physically, and spiritually.
-Never put yourself down. Try not to think negative things about yourself and especially never say them out loud. You will think more highly of yourself when you say positive things about yourself, at the very least avoid putting yourself down on purpose.
-Live purposefully. Have a direction for your life and if you don't already have one, make one. Decide what's most important to you and live accordingly. If you have a family or even a single loved one, your first priority (other than serving God if you're religious) should be to provide for them, to protect them, and to help them become the best version of themselves
-Develop Integrity. I can't even explain how much this increases your self-repsect. Be honest, be trustworthy, don't cheat (unless you're in a street fight) and live with honor.
-Find a hobby that you're really passionate about and strive to become a master at it
-Finally, probably the most important thing I can say is to think less about yourself. Think less about yourself but not less of yourself. In other words, think about other people before you think about yourself, especially your family and loved ones. If you're focused on helping them with their problems I can promise you that your problems will become less important and less troublesome. Look for opportunities to help others and make them feel better about themselves. Nothing lifts you out of depression better than helping someone out of theirs.
I hope this helps. I realize that some people are genetically predisposed to having a harder time with depression, but I believe that there's nothing you can't overcome with a strong mindset. In addition, I strongly believe that going through depression and having such terrible lows actually gives you the capacity to feel even greater happiness and joy. The reason I say this is because when you feel genuine joy after being depressed for so long you can't help but feel grateful.
The beauty of life is that we are meant to experience the full range of human emotions, from happiness to anger to jealousy to despair to joy. We couldn't feel genuine happiness if we never knew what it was like to be sad. If I could talk to whoever is reading this face-to-face, what I would say to you would be simple: don't quit. A quote from Winston Churchill kept me going in times when I thought I had nothing left, he said: "If you're going through Hell, keep going."
Everything in life can be and is meant to be an opportunity to make yourself better, and depression is no exception. Keep fighting, all of you are descended from warriors no matter what culture or country you are from. You wouldn't be here today if it weren't for the conquering spirit of your ancestors. Live a life that would make them proud. While most of us will not fight in physical wars, no one is exempt from the battlefield of life. Depression can be a battle every single day, every single second in some cases. Keep fighting, it will only get better. And the more you fight, the more you will gain respect for yourself. I've conquered my depression. Every now and then it will start to try and creep back into my mind but I don't let it. I destroy those feelings with action. I go lift weights, I go running, I listen to metal music, whatever it takes for me to regain my confidence.
You can conquer depression, no matter how severe it is. That doesn't mean you'll never have days where you feel down, but it does mean that you'll have the strength to push through and do what you need to do as a man regardless of how you're feeling. Stay strong, stay hard, and fight like dragons 🐉 You're going to be very glad you did.
Oh boy... How little i am actually capable of.
Thanks for the tips, serious clinical depression here (the doc doesn't know how bad, but the therapist will.) I'll take any help I can get at this point.
I can't say how much i agree with this comment
thanks you so much, this really helped a lot. I had experience something bad when i was a child, i lost 2 people whom i cared and loved. This is the reason i have depression, i always tried to change it and sometimes i gets over it but then here and there it starts to creep up and take over me. I tried to put myself together but don't have the strength to keep on going. Always tied to experience something new fresh and Always thought that there are other who are judging me even tho they don't care who i am or what i do. Never said this to anyone so far i thought there i no escape to this but i also hate to lose, i want to fight till the end and i will fight till the very end and pull my self away far-away from this lonely place called void and my strengths are my family n friends. One last thing who ever is reading this, this is for you "you are not alone we are all in this together, for our family, for our friends, for our future, we will be human again. Find a friend whom you can share your pain, if not then youtube comment section is always open for you, Stay strong bro/sis"

Dont't worry guys! We can do this and overcome the sadness in life and live our fullest :)
cool, by the way, depression is not a sadness
Yeah, i'm trying
@@jfzr_ SURE
You maybe,but not someone with this condition.
Sadness just piles up on me
My hearts out for those suffering from hidden pathological and or environmentally suppressed depression; it’s not a joke.
No definitely no joke for some it's there own personal prison cell with no windows and it has sound proofing you cry out hoping someone will here you only to find can't make a sound in fear you will be judged.
I feel just about all of these things, and it makes me a little uncomfortable that I might have hidden depression, but calmer knowing what was really troubling me and someone can put it into words. Thank you so much for making this vid!

.
number 3 is so true for me, because everytime my depression kicks in I am desperate to seek company sometimes even though I am an extremely introvert person. I do this not because I need someone to talk to, I do it because it's a distraction for the "voices" in my head and the negative thoughts, and also a distraction for the unbearable feeling of void... All of this is also an excuse to drink and I feel stupid to do it alone. The worst part is when my friend/s go home and I am alone once again and all of those simptoms come back even stronger. I feel so bad for using my friends and family sometimes just for "distraction", but I don't want them to worry about me. I feel even more stupid and ashamed for this behaviour because I am a 28 years old grown man
I know how you feel, i do the same and i feel so guilty for it. Depression sticks with you. Just remember that your not alone and you can ask for help even though it’s hard.
I totally feel you there. But we’re human. We crave companionship and seek validation because everyone around us does the same. You shouldn’t shake yourself because the voices in your head are louder some times than others. We are just trying to find our way to survive this mental game we’re in. I noticed once I stopped being so hard on myself and accepted that that’s how I feel it’s so much easier to manage my depression and anxiety. It’s not a godsaving solution but having some control over my mind makes me feel sane. I hope all goes well for you.
I had the same feeling for years. Now I crave solitude. Go figure…
@@pateris I was not talking about the time you want just for yourself, just "peace" you know. I am alone most of the time and sometimes I isolate myself even too much. The thing I was talking about is referred to some episode in which I have an actual suffocating feeling due to my negative thoughts and I just seek for some company to distract me because I am not able to do it by myself
@@simoneb9574 Yes, I was just saying that I switched from one extreme to another in the course of years !
#7 really hit me hard.
When you can't accept genuinely good people because of the trauma you're still trying to figure out how to solve is pure hell.
That’s what going on rn 8n my life
@@Wolfclawtoysandstuff you can change your mindset, it just takes time and a conscious effort. I've gotten better over the years.
2,4,5 and 7 hits me the most. I’m still trying to get over it, people say I’ve changed and there’s nothing I can do about that but I want to be genuinely happy like I used to be. What I believe is that it’s only a phase and everything shall pass
It's sad that many people can't see or feel the way you feel when you're depressed. I recently changed my therapist and at first he couldn't tell bc I seemed happy and can laugh about jokes. If I'd show how I truly feel, I wouldn't have my job where I need to smile and be friendly. I feel like society forces us to just 'smile the depression away'...
Ikr, if I go out of line just one bit everyone is being like "wHaTs HiS pRoBlEm?" So I guess I keep it secret until I just give up. I feel like that's what this shitty world wants.
All of these hit home for me. I never thought I was depressed. Now I understand why I always do these things that I didn't understand before. I thought something was wrong with me. Thank you for making these videos! It really helps.
oh my.. the third one 😭 i always do this. i dont wanna “feel” depressed so i always try to spend more time with my family. i feel like i push my feelings behind and ignore them. thank you for this video
All fun & games until your friends, that you value any and all time spent with, deeply care about and rely on to be there for you when you can’t stand being by yourself, kick you to the curb so that you’re left with virtually no one but yourself anyway, thus making the problem 7 or 8 times worse 😃
22 years ago this was me. I think it took 3 years and a lot of effort for the fog to clear. I got myself into classes three times a week, met new people, and started a relationship that lasted 18 years. I still know many of the people I started with, and we still meet monthly- now that COVID restrictions are lifted.
Thank you for being consistent. Thank you for being there for us. We love you.
Psych2Go team also Loves you ❤
didn't think i'd ever understand myself like this, ur channel's helped me and a lot of others. thanks
Thank you for helping me. I over think everything and I feel that perhaps I might have it. Then again, I have ADHD so depressive mood swings are sometimes common for me but the strange thing is their happening more than normal. And I recently lost my great grandmother so that might be the cause of it
I really hope your okay right now. Please remember to take care of yourself. I'm proud of you for staying through this. ❤️✨

Thank for making another video on hidden depression, I've been dealing with it but can't be bothered to actually read articles about it
I'm experiencing number 5, 6, and 7 rn.
- I overthink even the small thing I've done or say. It hunts me and stays on my head for a long time
- I lose focus and concentration too. I can't even construct a word to say spontaneously. I always think carefully every word that comes out from my mouth or mind so it will be unmistakable.
- I disregard most affection or concerns even from the people closest to me, like family and friends. I just don't wanna asked about anything bout me cuz im not in the point where I can share my thoughts to others without confusing them. Cuz I myself still don't know what's exactly happening to me rn.
I don't wanna claim that I have depression. It's just that i got some of the symptoms that I'm not gonna lie about.
Please take care of your mental health always. It's not that easy to fight it. But at least let's seek some happiness in something that we do in everyday.
Hugs to you from me. God will heal each and everyone of us😇💯
I can't be healed
It’s funny how I’ve asked God to meet someone who has depression as I do but instead I get videos of this making me feel a little less crazy and not alone 🙂 like I’m understood… thank you.
I have been going through it constantly psych2go sometimes helps but when i hit back in real life i am back to square one willing to help
Since you have been going through it yourself you may resonate with it well😇
Thankyou for this. I was always told that in depression I would not get out of bed or vomit on an empty stomach. So I was confused about how i felt because I get out of bed on time, follow my timetable as per schedule. Then I drown myself in movies or series. I watch videos until I'm tired enough to fall asleep late at night. Anything to avoid being in my head. I write fiction to convey my feelings and publish on Wattpad. Dont get me started on my insecurities and overthinking. I personally feel nobody likes me and finds me a burden. I write long messages to my friends about my feelings and then delete it all later because I dont want them to think I'm overreacting. I feel that one day they'll get annoyed by my presence. I cannot get myself to talk to or even think about my parents because I feel guilty about not doing good in life. I convinced myself long time back that I will not be happy, and that I should just deal with it. But I was always telling myself that I may not be depressed because i was told, that its not how I'd be if i were depressed.
I do all of these. I’ve been trying to escape my own mind by staying busy, but once I’m done, I’m back in the reality I’ve trying to get away from. I’m glad this video exists so I can understand what’s going on and try to correct it since others are definitely noticing it. Even people at stores I go to often noticed me just completely blanking out and trying to snap me back into reality. I’d blank out extremely fast, which is very dangerous while driving. 😔
Depression is a mysterious and insidious bloody disease, and so to you and all others who dare to spread a general awareness to others on the behalf of sufferers such as myself, I offer my most heartfelt and sincere thanks and applaud your efforts. The way in which you create this media is beautiful and the narration is delivered eloquently without becoming unduly verbose, as well as with a vocal tone that is somehow soothing, reassuring and well-meaning.
As I said, the disease is mysterious. My dad had it. His dad drank heavily and tore his nuclear family apart with his bare fists back in the '40s and '50s, and his dad's dad, my great granddad, whom I only met once, greeted me at the front door in his birthday suit and apparently was always a withdrawn man who only ever bought his kids one pair of shoes each. My mom hanged herself in 2010 after a very long battle with the illness, and her mom never got out of bed, opting instead just to pop tranquilizers like Mogadon and snooze the days away, a trait she passed down to my mum. Don't get me wrong, though. My gran was rad!
My point is that it seems there's possibly a bit of a hereditary element to the disease in my family. I myself am a miserable, frequently suicidal sod hiding behind a smiling and supportive demeanor most of the time. I know people say this and then prove themselves to be liars later on all the time, but I genuinely possess a strong belief that, as far as I'm concerned, is backed up by tangible, undeniable evidence that ending one's own life only launches one into another one defined by laws that align with one's state of mind. (Motivational point to be observed in that little tidbit is unfortunately a platitude, but in any case, live, learn, love and persevere! The dreams you dream at night when you sleep are the seeds of existences to come.)
If you can excuse that massive digression, my sole intention in commenting, other than to thank the creators of the content for it, was this. There my very well have been more, but there was one case especially in which the word "or" was employed in the narration where an "and/or" would definitely have suited the scenario being illustrated far more adequately. It was something along the lines of, "depression can put one's mind into overdrive or make one incapable of thinking straight at all." This statement is not wrong, but it made me think (and the accompanying animation helped a lot with this line of thought) of all of the times that I've woken up in the morning with my mind racing at light speed, been overwhelmed by it completely, and resolved to cover my head with several pillows in an attempt to block out all evidence of the sun's having risen onto a new day pregnant with potential, and virtually force myself, with the aid of the building carbon dioxide under my pillows, to run away from all of that thinking, much of will be pretty clear, and hide away in the gentle, quiet arms of Morpheus (until the tricky fella launches one of his special one-of-the-ones-that-got-away dreams at me. Those pretty much get me up for good, usually starting with a notebook and pen.)
So that's really it. Awesome video. Loved it. We need people like the creators of this video doing what they do. Just take note, in the noggin of a depressed person, everything is more often than not going on at once. It's really quite hard to bear. Overthinking, as you mentioned. It's MASSIVE! Downers are SO NICE, and therefore SO DANGEROUS. Ours is a life of uncomfortable compromises most of the time. Although I remember being in love once. That was awesome. Being in love worked better than anything I'd thrown at it before and anything I've thrown at it since.
This is how my depression started when I was 16. I threw myself into my school work as a distraction. Saw friends more than ever before because I tried to convince myself that this would make me better. I didn't start dropping out of my social life or showing more obvious symptoms of depression until a whole year later.
@dan_spores on Insta also, I assume you're asking because you're experiencing similar? So may I ask how you're going too?
Each and every one of these 7 things has occurred to me in my life, some still won't go away even though I have my diagnosis and a therapist. It's so deep inside me, some since my teenage years. I am afraid I will never be able to change them for the better.
It’s sad how ik I have depression and anxiety but when I tell someone I seem like a attention seeker but it’s the fact I have been battling this since I was younger… and still no one will help this channel has helped me alot
After going through an abusive relationship, we tend to feel so alone, but finding other women who have experienced the same thing you have, can be very comforting.
💙TH-camr That Helps People Overcome Toxic Relationships
Several years ago I had a friend who I met online because she wrote a lot of really dark short stories. I made an effort to get to know her because I was concerned, but whenever we met or actually spoke on the phone she was quite cheerful and had a very different vibe. I stopped being concerned after a month or two and just enjoyed our friendship. Then one day her brother caked me from her phone because I was the last person she had spoken to before putting her boyfriend shotgun in her mouth and pulling the trigger. I was stunned, though I can't really claim to have been surprised. That's when I really understood that some people can only express their true feelings artistically. I'm grateful to have been her friend for a short time, and wish I had been able to make a bigger difference for her.
This is so true... I feel very depressed inside but i want my friend to see me as bubbly and cheerful and funny because who would want to see sad person.
@@nekomiruku, if you want a supportive friend who won't judge, please let me know. The goal is to help you find reasons to not feel that way, or at least to help you understand why you feel that way. Your feelings are valid, no matter how uncomfortable they might be.
@@wendychavez5348 thank you...
How wonderful it would be to live in a world where the price of being your true self, being vulnerable, and being completely honest wasn't so high (at times, at least).
I just lately got diagnosed anxiety and depression. I struggled hidden that even i didnt think my odd feels was mental issues. This video is so true. I was always work too much and never wanted to be alone. For everyone i looked happy but home alone i was overthinking stuff, got chest pain, lose sleep or even panic attacks. Dont judge book by it covers.
I have a very deep depression. I thought ignoring is easy but the last or something depressing will always come onto my mind. I find it difficult to control. I also kept on hiding my depression so people wouldn’t think I’m a negative person because I want to do well in school and make friends. I didn’t know it’s gonna affect me. Everyday I would always listen to songs so my depression would be concealed throughout the entire day. I feel songs are my life, it’s just very important to me. :)
Feel free to use this as a thread to share what you’re experiencing / seeking advice for... I’ll go first I feel like I’m slowly declining in terms of my mental health. I’m almost 20 and I feel like I’m not supposed to be here anymore. Less of a suicidal feeling more of a lost and empty feeling. I want to live but don’t know how to break free of the dissociation and heavy feeling I always have. Almost every friend I’ve had has lied about me or betrayed me or stole from me (not exaggerating). I’ve never had a good friend and I feel really insecure to go out anywhere anymore. I rarely leave my house. Anybody else feel like this and if so have you found anything helpful to break free of this?
Sorry I can't give you advice but I'd still like to share my thoughts and experiences. I'm also feeling very lost and behind in life, I'm turning 21 in a month and I'm already falling apart physically and mentally. I've been abused my whole life by my caregivers and now I'm at a point where I've had enough suffering and want it to just end, one way or another. I'm having a full blown identity crisis because I can't distinguish myself and my character traits from the consequences of the abuse (e.g. being an extreme people pleaser, having no/very weak boundaries etc.), on top of that I have depression, CPTSD, anxiety and a whole lot of other stuff, including my body failing me slowly (from not taking care of myself and always putting others and their needs first). So yeah, it would be much appreciated if someone had some advice or something.
I’m 2 years behind you in a similar shituation. Graduated HS last month, my friends (yes, all of them) walked out of my life when I was in the peak of a depressive episode (which I haven’t yet recovered from). Most of them I just grew apart from very quickly, others convinced me they were with me up until they could and did walk out on me. I’ve dabbled with dangerously intense suicidal thoughts off/on for past 4-ish months. With no support from friends I feel completely lost in my own existence and I’m desperate to leave this self-depriving mental hell that I’ve been living in. Despite feeling miserable at times like these I tend to hide emotions under wraps (aka smile thru the pain), being afraid of potential consequences that may follow behind opening up about mental problems to friends or etc, biggest of which being that people I care about would end up leaving my side - which many inevitably did anyway regardless of what they knew about my mental health. I’ve smoked a lot of weed in recent months (with forced breaks every while) as the only remote form of a coping mechanism I have, although it is fun for me so that helps that i don’t use it solely for suppressing problems
What I do know is that there’s light at the end of the tunnel. I’m working on getting a job and DL, very close to achieving both. Also starting college in 3 weeks which should significantly help my lack of social life. It’s not peachy, but I’ve got some things to work towards to keep my mind off of punching my own ticket.
With all that said I’m taking your opportunity to let out a big “*FUCKING HELL IM TIRED OF THIS BULLSHIT*”
I'm in the same age group as you are & yes, I've had thoughts like these too lately because my closest friend has gone out of my life and it hurt like hell. But, we must at least try to live for our family's sake for all the love & care they give us; don't care about the people who went outta your life; let's just be there for people who still stand by us, accepting our flaws & let's appreciate them because, we don't get a second chance at life. You can try learning any new art, language, music (which is what I've been doing), or anything you want to learn because, it really develops your concentration towards something. Also, try working out everyday & reading stories/novels. Everything is temporary in the world & so is our feeling of depression. So,let's just live in the present, not overthinking the past or future but, never forget the life lessons you might've learned so far. Stay strong & never give up!! Hope this helps. :)
I am years (in age) ahead of you. And let me say that understanding yourself can help. By talking about this here you are actually helping yourself get better. Why? Well, no one here really knows each other, so the environment here of sharing is less dangerous than actually talking to those that know you. People can't lie about you, as they would have no idea who to tell. People here can't betray you, for the same reason. And people here can't steal from you. So this is a good place to start. Good friends, I won't lie. They are hard to find. People often told me that if I wanted friends, all I had to do was to be friendly. What a stupid thing to say. It shifts the blame on me (or anyone who hears that)as to why people don't like me. I can be friendly all day long, but that won't get me a friend. All that ever got me was more people to betray me. But, now, let me encourage you all. Figure out what you want your friend to be like. Figure out what you are interested in, i.e. games, hobbies. Then do those things. For example, I love Godzilla movies. And I have studied (yes, I'm weird) the history of the movies. So, I happened to mention something about them to a group of people that I know. I found one person who really wanted to hear about this. Bingo, friend material alert. It's a start. I am much older than you all as I will turn 60 this year. I have walked this road for quite a while. It does get better and/or you learn to handle it better. There is hope. That's what I wanted to tell you. There really is hope. I'll do my best to answer any questions about this if anyone wants to talk about this.
In your same boat at 18 moved away from my hometown and feeling so Lost and confused as to what direction to head into life. Spend most of my time feeling homesick and relieving the past just wishing I could go back and that the pain would stop. Its hard and I be feeling the sense of not wanting to be here anymore and that i’ll never get through the pain
This totally relates to me, its a mission to get out of bed bc I don't want to think about the past. Forgiving people which takes time for what they have done to you hepls a lot
Yeah, I do relate to these. I honestly get accused constantly of “overthinking”, and it always annoys me. Like, I’m just thoroughly thinking, right? Aren’t others underthinking? Idk… also #7 kind of got me too I guess, but tbh when others do express concern I often feel it’s feigned.
Imagine having PLENTY of red flags about you having depression, but your family just finds me perfectly fine, even after the figths i saw, the wounds i got and the words sent to me. how blind can you be to see someone clearly stressed out near you,hiding literally anything they are fond of of fear and they just going like "yeah sure they are fine".
Like they know!
This is so very good. I have chronic depression. This clip is very true and very helpful for me to remind my self of theses thing and great for anyone who may not have recognised they are depressed. It dose come in many shapes and sizes and each case is individual. Thank you for taking the time to do this simple informative and very true upload. I will definitely subscribe. This is the first upload I have watched and I am very impressed
Filling up any time you would have to be with yourself with a bunch of other things, like work, is such a big sign that there's something going on in your mind that you don't want to be a part of. If that sounds like you, just know that even though it's really difficult you will be better off if you face what you're hiding from. Even if it takes therapy or some other kind of help, that's okay and you can do it 💛
I have always felt like I have been on the back foot in life. I haven't done particularly well in my career and have quit most things I have started when they became too hard. I could never figure out where I was going wrong because I am very dedicated, loyal and work very hard on most aspects of my life. I had to deconstruct my life and take away a lot of the misconceptions I have been carrying about myself. I realised, I have always strived to be a better person, a successful person, a loving person and in most cases I've found it difficult to truly succeed in these areas. The funny thing is (which now seems obvious) is I've never fought for my mind. I have never put in the necessary steps to strengthen my mind and have realised that it is my severe anxiety and depression which has caused me to struggle so much in life. Any disagreement or confrontation eats away at me. Any failure I may have experienced gets blown out of proportion. I have never truly had any real self confidence. My self talk has always been negative and in all honesty, I have never really believed I was capable of anything truly successful, until now. I now realise that strength of mind and the work required to strengthen it is what has always been missing in my life. I have tried everything to get my life on track but that. Time to dust off the old brain and teach it some new, whesome habits. No more self medicating, only self love. My kids and wife deserve this and so do I. If you are reading this and connect with what I am saying, know that I love you and believe in you. It requires work, patience and change of habit but it will be the best gift you have given yourself. Since adopting this new approach to life, things have improved drastically for me and I wish the same for everyone going through this horrible disease called depression. It's not your fault you have been cursed with this, but you are the only person who can overcome it and you will. Having a hard look at my life and myself opened up this door and I feel, for the first time in a very long time that I can actually go out and achieve something and be the man my family needs me to be. Love, light and healing.
I used to be very confident, shy and star employee. But over the years, I've been in this toxic and hostile work environment everything has gone down hill for me. All they did was work us to death. The job was long hours and lifting heavy items in one spot. The job was so hard on my body I got a Herniated disc, arthritis, chronic fatigue, neuropathy, joint and muscle stiffness. I was miserable. Pain pills help somewhat. Too much gossip and toxic bosses. I developed anxiety and depression that I have to take pills for. I'm tired all the time. I never quit cause I felt I was letting down my family. I've applied for other jobs but never got the job. I figure it is because I did something wrong or maybe this job is a curse. I would just cry cause i wanted out so bad. I no longer get my hopes up to actually get the job because I'm used to being let down, harassed, and bullied at work.
Thank you so much. This video is so helpful for me as much as I've been going through depression and anxiety due to family and school demands. I know this has nothing to do with this but I especially cry over abusive parents tbh. I mean, I do love them but there's just sometimes that annoys me about them. I've especially been so much pressure and stress.
It helps to know we are not alone having this. That medically they see what we have is not taken lightly anymore.😊💕
I feel like this video was made for me…
I knew I was unhappy with my life for a very long time. But no one seemed to question as I always kept myself busy. I’m surprised why no one has asked me how I made it to the top of my graduating class, top of my department, winning awards left to right, publishing academic articles or applying to 10 graduate schools. The reality was… I was depressed. I felt like my home life was a battlefield and with the pandemic closing everything I had no where to run but my school work. Depression is a main factor I became so successful when graduating. But I was so unhappy with my life for years and I felt like I had no one to talk to or turn to when life was hard. I mean life is still hard even after completing all of my achievements. Now that I’ve graduated im like… well now what? I chose to delay graduate school for one year so I can start feeling the feelings I’ve been hiding for so long. Sometimes I cry when cooking or when driving to work but these feelings I never had a chance to feel because I always kept myself so busy. It’s weird not staying as motivated as I once was. But seeing videos like this helps me find my voice and also makes me not feel alone.
Having persistent depressive disorder is even worse when you combine it with anxiety, ADHD, and a brain injury that affects the frontal lobe on the right side of the brain.
It complicates things more for me that I find it honestly hard to explain.
I decided to take a look at the last poem I wrote (turns out I wrote it as a song), and this is what I found:
Smile through the pain, that's what I tell myself to stay sane.
Wish I could go away, tired of feeling like crap all day.
Unwanted by everyone, don't think I have ever won.
Sick of everything and that is why I sing:
I am ready to go, don't think I could reach a lower low.
Singing this song for you to try and change your point of view.
Please stop judging me a real friend could be the remedy
For my broken heart, in part
Or maybe just an apology.
Might say I'm hateful when really all I am is hurt, Surrounded by nothing but cruel jerks.
Bullies running rampant, why do they pick on me?
Parents are the cruelest of all, and never called
Out on bullying someone less than half their age, wish I could turn a new page.
Sick of everything and that is why I sing:
I am ready to go, don't think I could reach a lower low.

Depression made me learning new knowledge: philosophy. Stoicism, Taoism. Even converted to Buddhism. And i am happier because of that
Love this channel 🙌🏾
I've been depressed for more than a year now and thank you PSI for your content it really helps me
My friend lost her father a year ago and has slowly transformed into a zombie. She never talked, Estes or drinks. You helped me a lot- and maybe now that I know that she has hidden depression I can help her get better.
The animation style is wonderful. That being said, I truly enjoy joining in all these comprehsensive curated courses out there which do so much to help us with defining relation ship fundraising, building self confidence, improving our health and wellness, forgiveness and meditation, avoiding vulnerability, Empowering the World through Education, and of course and most importantly -dealing with hidden depression - all with the intention of getting more done n less time .preferably by COB or sooner.
I loved the animation style !!! Always :)
I learn more again from this and i relate to all of it so much. It's really hard to have a depression and being alone with your thoughts just makes me feel suffocated so i kept needing to distract myself. Like whenever i wash the dishes i needed my phone to play music out loud to listen to so that i won't be hearing my thoughts while im doing the dishes. I just feel the need to do something so i don't have to deal with depression.
Simple affection like compliments makes me feel weird and even though i appreciate it i don't fully accept it. I used to be angry when someone showed affection towards me it's because i wasn't used to it and i'm living in a household with people that rarely does affection. I guess i thought showing affection isn't normal. But now im slowly appreciating these from my friends and i gave them affection to them back.
I'm slowly learning from depression and it has been my goal to get better and hopefully maybe get a therapist someday. I just wanna say what i experienced having a hidden depression. Thank you so much for uploading these videos! You guys help me so much and to alot of people and we are truly grateful!
i have suffered depression and when it got to difficult to bare i calld my doctor and got help couldn't barely focus at work and forgot my things in alot of different places and i cried all the time but now it's going in the right direction :)
Thank you Psych2go for helping and informing me in different mental health. I realise I have them and deal with different things thanks to y'all. Love y'all keep up the good work💜❤️
This one sure hits the spot.
Hiding behind work and wearing a happy face among people hides what's really going on.
Isn't it great enough to be alive, our circumstances may affect our emotions but there's people who have all odds against them and had lost a limb or two and feel shattered. I'd rather feel depressed and learn why it is that I feel so, than be the one who is causing it coz everybody has some kind of problem everyday, so I think it's pointless to complain or explain to another human being who's also dealing with his or her own issues, it's only their mindset that helps them overcome these obstacles. Discipline is key.
It all make sense now. So that's what has been bothering me for the past few days. I've been feeling empty whilst overthinking constantly, trying to put myself in a happier mood. I've even thrown myself into being extra-productive as well
Food For Thought: Depression is like being colorblind and constantly told how colorful the world is.
I really relate to this video. I suffered with all the sym you mentioned. I knew that I was making a really bad mistake and didn't know how to get out of it l felt everyone was against me and was on high alert all the time. I couldn't make decisions about basic things but I was being massively bullied by my sister who I didn't feel was very supportive. I was in a mess and thought I would have a stroke. Nobody was helping and l felt under severe pressure to sell my house and was rushed by the estate agents to make decisions. My sister and mum both developed cancer and dad has vascular dementia and early alziemers. It was too much and l broke down and made terrible decisions that have had a massive effect on me.
I will get better. Let's promise. It is difficult now, but we won't give in. Love and strength to all✌️.
That’s me. Thanks for saying it, because otherwise I forget how disabling it is and blame/shame myself.
you know what sucks about being an adult with depression living alone? there is no time to feel the depression, there is no time to take care of it
you HAVE to take care of your duties - work, clean, shop, etc.
it's simply not the case of "just go to therapy, it will get better"
So true. Living alone is basically a survival, because if you don't think about something, no one else will. BUT it can also be an advantage that all these duties are keeping you busy and focused on external problems, and not going round and round your internal issues. At least that's my experience.
Thank you again amanda i like your voice and im sure your really nice many blessings to you and your family happyness i key too ive been suicidal depressed since 2016 but ive made it to back to real life
Yes it's going on with me :(
I'm in depression but don't want anyone to know. I'm experiencing every point you mention in the video 😭
I am an avid #MentalHealthAwareness advocate and spoken word performer, and I love this so much. I travel the country trying to bring that awareness on stages, in classrooms, hospitals, and on my TH-cam channel, so I get excited when I see other advocates. 💙❤
Well now I know exactly why I’m not able to study cause I think I’m doing it wrong which makes me depressed and also obsessed thanks
Your voice is so calming🥺
Through this channel I've learned that everything is a sign of depression
Nice,i always overthink evrywhere and evrything,plus i always losed concentration in class,but step by step,i will get out of it.
1st comment. Thanks for always releasing these videos. Very helpful..
I'm tired of being misunderstood by people so now I push them away even before the get to know me.
I wish I could relate to the first one. I want to be productive and get things done. But I just can't get out of bed sometimes. I keep missing deadlines and still don't do anything to change that. I developed the habit of journaling this year but I can't even continue that regularly. I don't understand why it is so hard for me to set aside 5 minutes every day for journaling. Same goes with shower, skincare, and workout. I'm gaining weight and still can't get myself to stop eating junk food. I really wish I wasn't like this.
Best ever content on TH-cam...!
Hello Psych2Go ❤️
I teach Biology to Senior and Secondary Senior School students in a Government School.
Today in Adolescence Education Programme,a flagship programme of UN I projected this video and explained the topic in detail.
You know they enjoyed the show and asked a lot of questions to me.
I projected other videos which gave an in-depth knowledge.
They have also subscribed your channel.
Thank you Psych2Go ❤️
You are doing and amazing work..
At least I am getting healed in the process of healing others.
J. Krishnamurti: “It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.” FIRST, don’t judge yourself for feeling depressed, especially if you’ve never been a generally happy person. I personally think “depression” is overused. Not because people aren’t depressed, but because the label is used in place of other emotions like sadness, guilt, burdened, etc. Depression is such a heavy label that society quickly wants to eliminate like a pest. Don’t kill the emotion because it’s been deemed a bad thing. Get to the source and find what is triggering it. Just thought about analogy of ants in your house. My dad’s place constantly has tiny ants, and not just in the kitchen. But instead of looking for how their coming in and why (his place isn’t the tidiest) he wants to use the traps and kill them. They go away for awhile, but more come back in a few weeks, and in more numbers.
Well, folks, I have been diagnosed with severe depression and it is true. But numbers 4 (feel pressured to seem happy), 5 (overthink everything) 6 (lose concentration), and 7 (disregard affection or concern) are me. I have a degree in Psychology (just a bachelor's) and I did not know about this. I feel that if I don't pretend to be happy, others won't like me or want to be around me. I have always overthought everything to the point I don't get anything done. And then, I know what I want to do, but getting started is almost impossible most days. Those people around me who love me (I have no idea why) I just can't understand. Why would anyone want to be around me, depressed as I am? So, to those of you whom this might affect and give insight to, you are not alone. I pray that most of you don't feel this way, but I realize that many do. I stand with you in depression. You are not alone.
I told my friend about my depression, all she said was
"Your seaking attention, your happy all the time. Your always smiling!"
Yeah... Because I don't want anyone to think I was crazy, or my grandma and grandpa would tell me that I had no reason to be sad, because I didn't have a job, or pay bills.
So when I was younger I believed that .. so I faked my happiness.
I relate to the one about hanging out with people for the wrong reasons
Animation's top notch, it's not complicated but simple and straight to the point 👌
Well damn, If I say relate hmmm. Probably I'd pretend to be happy and okay infront of everybody, and overthinks a lot of things (even small things :v) which ruined my sleep schedule.
But I felt relaxed after watching this, thanks a lot I need this 🙏
I just want to disconnect to everyone and just connect to my inner self. 🥺
Even we say that in order to stop overthinking something divert your mind to something else and work then becomes the best escape mechanism. This feels relieved and the cycle repeats in toxic manner.
NUMBER 6!!!! I can’t focus or concentrate in class or when I try to do work - and when I don’t do good progress for the day I’m mad at myself :( it’s a constant cycle I can’t break out of.
This is the most relatable videio I've watched from Psych2go, I feel so bad all the time with a lot of suicidal thoughts always in my head and yet sometimes I felt that it didn't even matter because it couldn't even be considered depression because I always ate and slept and worked but deep down i couldn't stand being with myself and still can't, and it feels even worse to actually ask for help, because my parent can't afford it and there is no to talk to that could help and it just feels like it only get worse because the more things I try to do to get better just make me hate myself more because they just simply don't work
To start, this voice is SO soothing I could listen to it all day and I love psychology. I can also relate a lot recently and now I’m just plain confused as to what’s wrong with me aha
I never knew how complex depression is. Facinating. BTW I love the animation.
I generally express myself through creativity and I've been really stuck on drawing sad people on my computer. either this is a way for me to vent my feelings or its a way for me to express my fears about what could happen to me if I lose certain things in my life (friends, important possessions, family connections etc)
I've been trying to write an accurate depressed character so this helped me with that!!!
Can you make a video on how to tell if you’re bottling up your problems?
Yes, I'm beyond shookt, especially on the last one. I would never realised I relate too much on this one.
The fact that the depressed person has wilted leaf on his head and others have fresh green leaves on their head is so deep.
Now I'm truly understandable the way I have been through so much like other person feel.
Very insightful video about depression and how it can manifest in different ways in different people.
I do every single one of these things. Didn't realize hidden depression was driving these things....thank you for doing this video.....now I understand some ofy depression
Your videos are so soothing to watch
Glad it helps ^ ^
I totally get that, my friends don't believe that I have depression because I always keep a smile on my face.
I feel I'm having hidden depression after my breakup, I still say it's fine and work towards my goal to make all my dreams come true, but again, the simplest task seem hard to do, like when I play a game usually I play well but I seem to struggle to just do decently
I want to make my life better and I still will think positively and now I realised that I have hidden depression, I will work my way out of that and be a better me
Thanks for the info psyc2go, rly helped me see a lot of things

I think I have depression and I don’t want to self diagnose and my family won’t let me go get therapy or a psychologist. What do I do?
I have the same exact issue you aren’t alone trust me I really don’t know what to do either but maybe go talk to someone online or something? Or even talk to a trusted friend sorry I know this isn’t very helpful but I just want you to know you aren’t alone and I love you! 💕
