Hi Natasha, Thanks for a great video explaining how your depression affects you. I'm still trying to work out exactly what my issues are. I know I never allow myself to have fun in any social setting whereas you are saying sometimes you can if your depression isn't affecting you at that time. I have had therapy for social anxiety but I don't think that really found the problem. It's great to see you're trying to help people because the vast majority don't understand any of this and most who even suffer with these issues arent aware of it. Good luck. Gary.
Thank you Gary, yes i can find i can enjoy situations in the right frame of mind and its important that i feel safe there, but if im struggling social situations just make me feel triggered and lonely. I usually try to get to the bottom of what my trigger is which can be helpful. f your not sure about it maybe talk to someone who can help you work through your feelings and see whats at the root of it all.xx
Thank you for sharing your experience with depression. I feel where you’re coming from. I put pressure on myself and push myself to do better. I want to give support to anyone who is going through these feelings. If there’s anything I can do I’m always here for you.
This video is so personal to me, thank you. I would love to hear more about high expectations and where they might stem from. Your videos are very therapeutic :)
When you said that you've been really really sad and not coping" & " how hard it is to deal with everything every day when you feel really really sad underneath " , I swear I connected to the whole video but when you mentioned those points I shed a tear knowingly I am going through exactly the same. We keep setting up new goals and we do achieve some out of them but that never is enough ( always feeling underachieved). The problem is I've rocketing throughout my life that I don't seem to be able just to pull the breaks. Admittedly through my journey, I got bruised all over that's how I started having breakdowns. To be completely honest I've been flying under the radar for so long I don't think it's a valid option to just open up about it. I am really thankful for you making this video and wish you the best.
Hi Natasha I did really enjoy your video. I can sympathize with you. I'm more like an open book and get into my shell more when I'm feeling highly anxious. I also do know that you aren't your mind and that the thoughts aren't fact at all. Still at sometimes it's difficult to deal with. Lots of people suffering with this have emphatic gifts and creative intellect. Sometimes if you use that creative intellect you start to do better and are less in your mind. I can express it in music personally. I do sing and I plan to do more with it :) Thank you for being so open and honest. It's very inspiring :)
Love!! You're video is everything to me. EVERYTHING! Exactly what I needed to hear. Just recently told my family and friends of my diagnosis of High function anxiety and depression. So hard, but seeing your video was what made me get help and continue to seek help. Thank you so much. I can never repay you!! You are a gem!!!
Lord you are like a breath of fresh air !! I just began my journey to mental health freedom or believing I worthy of asking and seeking help and now I found your channel !! And I just I feel just less alone !! Please keep speaking your truth and keep getting help and thank you for being you because you just blessed my whole life today !! I'm Tyne and I'm I'm a mother a 3 , I have bipolar 3 , adhd , ptsd I share it on my channel to raise awareness like you said people look at me and they would think I was on , because I smile but I was so so broken but I'm finding the strength to heal and live ❤️ I pray we get to talk more I really do
Hello lovely, so sorry its taken me so long to reply, awwww im so grateful for your kind words and encouragement. You are amazing, keep pushing and showing the world your light! I think i have you on my Instagram now please feel free to say hello. Much love to you xxx
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and feelings on this subject that for many people remains 'off-limits'. Very insightful and helpful to anyone suffering the same fears and worries.
Thank you so much for this video. I suffer the same thing and fibromyalgia. It’s been hard lately... This video tho helped me get thru work today. Have a blessed day.
I can't thank you enough for this video. I had absolutely no idea of what was going on inside my head until I watched this! You have just explained to ME what I've been going through for the past 2 years and I want to say thank you and I can't describe how much you have opened my eyes and given me hope in knowing that I'm not alone and neither are you. I know I might just be a random TH-cam guy but if you ever need to talk to someone that understands just a little bit, please message me and we can fight it together. God bless you x
Keep on doing what you're doing and you'll be bound to see more success, you have a great channel and whilst high functioning depression is a nasty situation, don't forget there's a lot of people who will support you and who love what you do. It's a very difficult topic to talk about and you've shown a lot of character and bravery by making this video. Look after yourself and stay strong x
😞😞😞😞😞exactly wat I deal with an nobody cares medication does not help,but music does for me im ok outside but inside I'm crashing everyday I'm crying,slightest hurtful thing sd to me especially by ppl I care about breaks me. I have a book im. suppose to burn the pages whenever I'm done but I do it every yr instead sometimes I like to read over
Thank you so much for your courage for sharing! Very brave 🙏🏻 I am a meditation teacher and coach yet I am often so socially anxious and feeling so depressed inside. I am very active as well but beneath I struggle so much with this too😔
Fellow sufferer of HF Depression.Funny how it's only when you hit rock bottom do you step back, look internally and learn a lot about yourself. Is Anxiety that mental feeling in my head with goes on 24/7 (except when I sleep) ......restless, agitation and a just generally a horrible feeling which never stops? ........Yet if I told someone I had anxiety they would laugh at me, I'm an extroverted person and stood up to give a best man speech only 8 weeks ago, does that make any sense? Anyway, keep doing what you're doing. Thank god there are those brave enough out there which are open about their illness and allow the rest of us to feel a little less lonely. :)
I have HF depression and I’ve got a mate with LF depression and earlier in the video you said a point about helping others and it not being returned and it’s the worst cos he’s still depressed but he’s in a lot healthier now but I’ve only gotten worse and he basically threw me under the bus and I have adhd and I can’t deal with him because I get anger fits and panic attacks and really bad crying fits and I snapped at him on one of his lower days then when he didn’t respond (it was over text) I started having a panic attack thought he’d killed him self which turned in a crying fit this was three weeks ago and we haven’t talked and its really dreadful thank you for doing this it’s genuinely really helped my thoughts
Thank you for this. I think I have HF anxiety (perhaps depression as well but I have never considered it), I'm at university and I don't know what to do about it. I'm consumed with guilt over everything I feel so I won't go looking for help even though I know I probably need it.
Enora138 hey if you feel you might have HF anxiety, please do seek help don't feel like it's silly or that someone won't understand. Write down your symptoms and how you feel and that will help you to explain things to your doctor. You are not alone xxx
So how do you know you have it? Have you had been diagnosed? I have no doubt you are genuine I'm just asking because I have never been diagnosed so I have never known exactly how my own stuff would be labelled.... Psychotherapists don't do diagnosis.
It's so depressing. Every single woman is more attractive than me, no matter their age, even grandmas (not talking about Natasha). I feel like a monster, don't feel human , certainly don't feel feminine or attractive, let alone 'sexy' hahaha! I feel inferior to everyone around me, I am nowhere I am nothing and nobody. I feel invisible , have been feeling this for sooo long.
Thank you for sharing your experience with depression. I feel where you’re coming from. I put pressure on myself and push myself to do better. I want to give support to anyone who is going through these feelings. If there’s anything I can do I’m always here for you.
Thank you for being so honest ! I was diagnosed with anxiety and panic disorder. It makes me feel so much better that I am not alone. Take care 😊
