Thank you…
this helped me remember that the world is still kind please read this: my father died years ago my brother just died a month ago my mom never comes home I’m at home by myself I have to work at a gas station to get some money for myself then I have to do tons of chores after that my dogs died my cat is the only thing I have this YT account is my only thing I have left of my brother the only other thing that brings tears to my eyes is when I go back to my old house where me and my brother and my dogs and mom moved out of I asked the people who live in the house if I could see the old room me and my brother used to share I told them to not change it and they listened so I have no one else to rely on and you know it’s really hard for me so thank you…
@@Rip_fatherYT & @TheRealJaxx you're welcome. 🙂❤
My Mum is in palliative care right now. I'm dreading what's to come. 😞
This video made me feel way better about my depression because I only got 8 out of the 9! Impressive if you ask me
Same 🤣
but u got good sense of humor, I see
Sounds like your memory is the one that still works.
Hell yes! Small steps and all that my friend. I know there are days when I have to remind myself that getting up to eat is an accomplishment.
Same
Keep in mind that not all people with depression are suicidal.
You’re right, but it’s just a symptom
@@123sidoehf I totally get that. Depression is a hard and complex thing.
Yeah I have depression two times in my life now, and I’m only 10, 1st time was suicidal, this time is stress and burnt out
To a minimal degree,every depressed pt is
I got psycotic symptom with deppresion
How do I disappear without a trace. I just don't wanna hurt my family and friends' feelings
It's really not possible to go without hurting anyone, so stay ...for them at least.
Deep. I wanna leave as well. Just go.
God has send you for them its your duty brother
Please live your life for them
Remember
Suicide doesn't take away the pain
It just passes on it on someone else
These Pains will make you stronger
Life wont be the same
But we have to live
It takes courage to live
Sucide
ya dont
I'm going to show this to a friend who's never been depressed. He used to tell me that if people were more spiritually "evolved" they wouldn't be depressed.
Still, I envy people who've never experienced this. I've dealt with it for over 40 years and wouldn't wish it on anyone. My heart goes out to everyone who has battled this, and especially those who could not take it anymore.
And if your friend wasn’t so ignorant he wouldn’t be telling you that.
By this measurements, I'm fucking depressed
Got deppression for over 9 years now. Keeps going. If you think it aint a lot, oh buddy im 15.
He is right, you had 40 years to take his advice. all these symptoms could be easily prevented
My mom doesn’t believe I am depressed.. It’s frustrating! She wants me to “snap out of it“ ... I wish! But also, I dandy understand how hard depression was myself until my little brother passed away, I lost my job while I was pregnant and also single bc my ex left bc he “didn’t want anymore kids“, my case broke down and a handful of other traumas within a 6 month period ... It was too much! I am still trying to pull my head above the water after 6 yrs... We can all do it though! I have faith in us all! ❤
Fuck...I instantly said yes to each one of those.
Me too - I looked up depression and my picture was there :(
Hahaha
same
Ha, same :,)
Me as well lol fuck
Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings.
This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment.
Psychedelic’s definitely have potential to deal with mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression, I would like to try them again again but it’s just so hard to source out of there.
Yes, bergwilly111
A lot of people have testified about this and I really want to give it a shot. I put so much on my plate and it definitely affects my stress and anxiety levels
bergwilly111 is the best, he's been my go to for anything psychedelics.
I can't tell if what I have is depression or something else, but it's such an endless cycle of those negative feelings/thoughts, and it's exhausting... it's very exhausting that I don't know how to handle it. I'm tired of constantly feeling tired and sad.
wakeup at 4am everyday, go for a one hour run, come home at 5am and so 100 pushups, 100 situps. Aim for a 6-pack. Sounds ridiculous i know but honestly being up so early clears your head and the journey to the 6-pack will be so good seeing progress and your life will be fulfilling. Once you get that 6-pack you will feel unstoppable. Whilst everyone is sleeping getting weaker and resting, you are awake, running, grinding, and getting stonger. You will truly feel like a warrior and no one can touch you. Dont let this horrible feeling rule your day, because it wont stop until you fix it. You got this..
@@TaipanCARSi wish i had that mindset
@@TaipanCARSim staying in shape and i still feel like absolute fucking shit mentally
@@TaipanCARSwhat to do all day long?! In a rainy cold depressed country when always in pain and having no job...🙏
@@TaipanCARS keep it on! Exercise helps with anxiety and mental problems, it'll help you achieve stuff too and it'll make you feel proud of yourself! I support ya
I matched 9 out of 9 hope everyone at this stage gets cured up this is a symptom which can't be cured until our mind is willing to do
Update?
I’ve had all these symptoms for years. I’m 21 and bed ridden. All I think about it death it feels like I’m at the end of my life
Mood... and I'm a decade older than you... I'm so sorry you're going through this. It's horrible.
That sounds like me I don’t go out worry and fear have took over me I’m thinking I’m at my end also I’m in my 40s got anxiety I just started taking depression pills yesterday I’m surprised how many people are going threw the same things
@@louiseking3769 I still struggle but her videos always help me tremendously.
@@gracieray3081 I never watched the video yet a just went straight to comments so I’ll give it a watch now thanks 😊

The last one... Almost every day i think of it. Lost my job,my marriage in verge of divorce, i lost my only son 1 year ago, i hope i can recovered or at least survive all of this... I hope...
You can brother stay strong
I actually don’t know how to feel right now when I know that I’m depressed…
Number 2 is the worst for me. The fatigue and zombie state is one thing, but to rob me of the joy I feel to get through this life pisses me off so much. I find relief in drawing and making art and being in nature and walking, even watching a movie or video games is so hard. It literally wants me to do nothing while making me feel nothing.
So much knowledge was gained from this video. I also advise you to search Molemen Herbs on TH-cam and learn natural methods to heal your body. ❤
Same.
@@JackAttack2509 ...plz take proper medicines, don't lose d hope ...I also came out of it in Jan 23
Wellbutrine is a magical pill in my case ...kindly consult a gud pshychetrist

Hilarious! God Bless you though …check out hindsight on TH-cam :) he’s good for lifting depressive moods
I was too tired to do that so I forgot everything and went to the comments👍
Been feeling half of these for almost 12 years, I’m 21 btw. Sometimes it feels like it will never go away, one thing is being 16 and depression beginning, but another is being 10 and having your childhood stolen from you due to this, not knowing how you feel, why you feel the way you do until you hit middle school at age 13. Now I have more clarity and once again I’m backed against a wall with constant flashbacks to the last few memories I had of happiness and the sudden realizations of the very beginning of this thing. All I can say is that therapy, people, goals will never get me out of this because a decade of depression completely sends you to another dimension, where you have to build you life around it, to the people who will tell me it’s possible to live free, thank your brain for being healthy, you don’t get it and that’s something to be thankful for. You’re right I can breathe, I have all my limbs, toes, fingers, I’m privileged to have a roof, food, live in a privileged country (USA) however that’s the thing with depression it turns off all the lights and sends you into blindness in which you can’t see that. During the past 2 years of clarity that I’ve gotten about my situation, the best I can describe these past 11 years is like sleepwalking while being in a coma, you’re just walking through life without any realization of what’s going around you, you always feel 2 steps behind everything, it’s like life is just walking beside you, a coma is being blind, you can hear what people say, you hear all the scolding they tell you but they can’t hear you, they can’t see or understand what you see, what you feel, you’re alive but you’re forgotten, feel abandoned, isolation. 10 years hurt more than 1 year or 5 because when the 10 mark hits you still feel the pain but at the same time feel numb, it’s harder to comprehend even for yourself, it feels even more hopeless, think of it as a tree, you can’t yank it out, you have to cut through the layers and even that can hurt especially if you have no protection, once all is gone there’s still a stump there and you have to go back and dig into that stump and yank it out and once that’s done you can see the roots and all that once existed, but then what will you do after that stump is gone and it’s just a hollow pit? If you have been feeling depressed for years or months please please seek help, it’s still in its early stages and the branches are still sprouting, and it’s easier to cut a sprouting branch than one that’s already turned into bark. Do it for yourself, save yourself while you still can. ❤
Mann your depression started at 9 I'm really sorry, don't give up i hope you will be able to find joy in your life ❤
I have all these 😢
Me too age 14 mom dad dont care at all 🥲
Remember that Jesus is there for you. Pray to him and read the bible. he'll give peace into your heart
Sama😊
me too 🥲
I didn't know I had depression. At the time I was so stressed and demotivated but I felt like I was acting like a spoilt child who was sleeping all day instead of getting my work done. My university offered free counseling so I signed up and towards the end of our sessions they recommended that I see a psychologist at a practice. The main reason I started counseling was so that I could talk to someone I didn't know without feeling judged and wouldn't worry my parents. But they kept recommending it so I caved and phoned my mom and asked her if it was okay to go to 1 session. She was SO EXCITED and worried at the same time. Literally 10 minutes in the hour long session the psychologist said that she thinks I'm suffering from depression and recommended I got to a psychiatrist to see if it's true or not. 30 minutes into that session the psychiatrist said "you've been to 3 counsellors in the span of 2 months, you need help ASAP" and prescribed me anti-depressant. It's been a really long 2 year struggle but I'm starting to feel better. But those "just get it together" comments still trigger me, especially other people who say "I have depression too but I'm doing alright" those literally CRUSHED me
Thanks for reminding me I have severe depression, which also reminded me no therapist in my area will bother to see me. All I have to do is pretend to be normal and alright till everyone in my family stops talking to me and then I am home free.
Would you still be depressed if someone put billion $ in your bank account? Dont answer me, answer yourself and if answer is yes then you are diagnosed
@@bruhmcchaddeus413 well for starters they could _afford therapy_ with that money which would eventually set them towards a path of healing so I don't see the point in your argument.
🥺😢😢
@@takotakotakotakotako Nope I aint talking about therapy and that was pretty clear lol and there is no argument, it was a question wym
@@takotakotakotakotako Let me be clear - I was talking about would you still be happy if you had money enough to buy a big ass house, 3-4 super cars and help your family in their needs while you sleep on your new bed in your new villa lol that filters out 90% of self diagnosed population and rest 10% are only ones who were actually depressed
For months now I have most of these symptoms, but I don't really believe I have it. Even when i'm stressed, tired, etc. everyday. I am also scared of so many things and I cry often. My parents won't help me because they make fun of me all day. I don't know what to do atm.
i do have depression but it's a lot better now. i got therapy and i have friends who support me and now i rarely have those feelings anymore. i'm really happy now and laugh all the time. so there IS a way to deal with depression :)
My mom has had depression since i can remember, but it’s practically gone now! I can’t explain with words how happy i am for her ❤️
This comment made me so happy I'm glad your mom could recover. Hoping you and your mother have a blessed,happy,life♥️♥️
How did she recover?
@@lovelife07o7 I’m not exactly sure, however i know that she did some specific things alongside talking with a therapist. She made sure to be outside and get lots of natural light, she found a hobby (knitting), she spent much time with family and friends (this did make her tired, so just as much as she could) etc. Depression is very different from person to person however, but that’s some of the things she did
@@earth- I'm glad for her. I need to try these things. Thanks for sharing.
@@lovelife07o7 You’re welcome! I wish you luck, you can do this!!
Depression is a really sad state to be in 😢
In hindsight, I've experienced this a few times. & have been too ashamed to share it, so I went thru it alone😥
That "then there's feeling worthless" part just hit me so hard 💔
The limb heaviness nailed it for me. That's usually my first symptom.
For me is this background anxiety that makes me not enjoy things to the fullest because my mind is ruminating about why I feel anxiety. And my brain is coming up with negative thoughts. Then all of a sudden anxiety is gone and I feel great. I dont really know how to prevent it.
Same
This is exactly me
Same here but it's really present at nights when it happens...during the day I manage to handle it more or less.
I got 6 but it is really sad that people can relate to these types of videos😢
I finally got diagnosed with severe clinical depression in November 2022. Started feeling depressed since June 2020
I experience all of these everyday for the past 2 years. Therapy, exercise, micro dosing, meditation, diet changes, supplements, and yoga have had little to no benefit.
Heard.
Hopeful message, eh ;p
Do you smoke weed? If so, stop.
What’s the reason you’re depressed? Did you have any kind of trauma in the past? Do you feel lonely?
A lot of therapist suck and the treatment often doesn’t help depressed people because people are depressed for different reasons.
@@drahcirnevarc9152 what if weed helps?
I just had to get my car jump started because I have not left my house in 5 weeks. Friends say I am depressed but I just don’t feel like interacting with anyone ever so I stay home by myself

I see the energy around you gaining momentum to lead you to many Successes. I see financial blockages being removed and Money coming towards you. I see you going through a major Glow-up and many eyes being on you. Spirit wants you to enjoy this energy, it’s your time to shine. Spirit is also highlighting the need for you to trust your own intuition, and no one else’s at this time. I see unwarranted advice from someone around you. You are the Emperor and the Empress! You know what is best for you above all.5 Stand your ground and Protect your energy!.
Im surprised to find out I’m almost depressed because I’m a really happy person and people like me I never really thougt about being depressed till a weak ago
Can confirm, I am very depressed.
I've got all of the nine which seemed like more than that. Many describe deppression as a sharp pain. I describe it as blunt pain like a hammer. And its constant. That hammer keeps hitting and hitting. Even when the hitting is done, the pain still remains for a long, long time and when the pain is gone, a mark is still present. Deppression smis the hardest thing to get out of. Idk how but people managed to cure it. Mine is like cancer. Killing me slowly and incurable.
I feel the same way. I got one advice for you if you haven't tried it yet.
Start taking medications.
Nothing came even remotely close to help me with depression. And well, how could it? When it's bad enough, trust me, nothing can help, BESIDES medication.
Antidepressants saved my life.
The best part about it, is that unlike in therapy, you don't need to force yourself to think or act differently than your natural instinct. In medication, all you have to do is take it, it will do it's own even without your help.
Of course, as long as it's the right medication for you.
It's a life saver. I'm not a psychiatrist. I'm speaking as someone who suffers from depression and took it.
Let me tell you, after 2 months of using it, depression barely existed in me(symptoms wise, and mood).
Of course, some of the things still remain, even after significant improvement and a remission of an episode(at least its like that for me). Lack of motivation, and lack of real pleasure(altough it does significantly improve with medication, you still don't feel truly happy in positive events, but it's not as bad as it is when you're during an episode), while also still having a slightly weak mentality.
But it helps DRASTICALLY.
The leftovers are manageable, and don't interfere that much with your life.
Please, try taking medication. It's the only thing that will help you get back to your life, if nothing else helped.
Wish you well.
When you have all of the above ...
livin the f**kin dream 👍
All of those things that she said point towards me
9 of 9 on a depression test. 5 of 5 on a anxiety test. Loving everything. Or at least trying to.
Remove that Ukraine profile pic and name first. You Will feel much better
Back in the day when I did meth, one of the things I loved about it is my limbs would go from feeling so heavy and difficult to move to light and airy. You don't realize how profound that difference is until you've felt it.

Same thing happened but with methylphenidate, ritalin
I subscribe, since years back. I think this one ends on a surprising note - never heard anyone talk about suicide and let that be the end of a video, there’s always some advice to seek help. Maybe you could add that, because some people may be having very dark thoughts and watch the video. 🙏 Thanks for your videos, they are the best😻
You're right
I still feel joy and enjoy certain things, but not as much as before. I have many of the symptoms of depression, so I must be depressed, but in spite of all the hard times, I'm still happy that my cats and dogs are around me, I get joy out of watching birds in my backyard, which is not the biggest or the most beautiful backyard, but it's still the place where I can relax a little. I do wish everyone all the best. I hope depression does not ruin your life completely, and I hope you'll eventually get over it.
I’ve had all 9 for the past 7 plus years. And somehow I survived. It’s a miracle! The Darks Night of The Soul. Is that light again going to get any brighter?
8/9. And I still feel like a lazy faker because I like to read.
Reading, just like watching endless TH-cam videos, especially the short videos, is a form of escapism that many of us probably deal with as a coping mechanism to escape the mental torment. I imagine that reading does the same for you. I have 8 out of 9 also.
@Thawne Why what? I don’t understand your question.
She just read my psych evaluation. 🤔
I remember being 10 years old, I had all these symptoms, other than not being able to enjoy anything, or I don't really know I hated my sport gymnastics, but I told myself I loved it. That was my second year of diagnosed severe depression, I am worried once I am taken off my medication I will feel that again, I am scared, I don't know what to do.
Got the full collection baby WOOOOO
Football/soccer is keeping me alive at this point the amount of joy theres around you
*When you have over 5 symptoms, that you've been having them for years, but your phycologist brushes it under the rug* : oh....Welp, guess I'll keep acting like I'm fine.
*When you're phycologist is making you feel like you're making it up/faking* : I'm fine, I'm okay, I'm just overreacting
I know even when I tell elder about it they are like stop over reacting/faking it. You are just lazy😢
@@tharushikulasekara8691that’s why I don’t tell anyone about my problems, I feel like no one will care or they will laugh at me
@@The9thBit. me too i just dont tell anyone anymore .i would rather keep it to myself.
I laughed when my psychiatrist asked how long I had been depressed? I answered,"I can't remember a time when I wasn't. "
I’ve had every single of these for about 5 years and every day I said it can’t be this way forever, I no longer found joy in thing I used to love, I getting want to see my family and friends I literally was only ALIVE because I had to be my daughter needed me! Well Idk what happened but in the past 2/3 months I’ve started to feel like me again, I’m looking forward to things again it could be a change in my medicine or me thinking positive Idk but I’m soooo glad it’s finally happening. Tomorrow I have a job interview and I pray I love it and it’s just the start to a new chapter in my life
All of them… all day, every day for as long as I can remember 😞
I am so sorry. I’m sending you love and prayers. You’re not alone in this friend. You are beautiful and valuable, don’t let your depression make you think otherwise. And remember that you can be stronger than it. I’m truly wishing you all the best, and if you need to talk, reach out. God loves you and sent His Son to live, die, and rise for you so that you can have everlasting life. Talking to Him helps too. He is there for you 🤍
Jesus said “Come to Me all who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest” Matthew 11:28
Mindfulness meditation really helps. Trying the book "30 Days to Reduce Depression" by Harper Daniels is a good start to learning mindfulness.
i struggled in the past not knowing what depression was . My father laughed when I said that I was feeling suicidal and told me to go ahead
8 out of 9 and the last one is the truest one yet😭😭
This genuinely helped alot- I have felt all of these feelings lately and, I was wondering if it was because of depression- so thx ❤
Usually depression is associated with a trauma caused by another human being. Time to be kind to others.. coz you never know how emotionally sensitive the person even sitting next to you in a public bus is..
Today when I was at school it just took me so much energy to lift up my head and I didn't know if I was going through depression or if I was just really tired
The fact that i’ve been having nearly all of these symptoms for over a year and the thought of going to a therapist never popped in my head makes me really scared for my future, family and friends when they find out what i’ve been dealing with, and also the fact that i thought these symptoms happened to everyone else around me has kinda got me feeling insecure now that i’ve been researching depression quite a bit recently, and i’ve genuinely considered suicide not long after i thought one of my long-distance friends killed himself, when he was just in a two month long coma from the failed attempt. I’ve only opened up with one of my friends and my girlfriend because i somehow trust them more than anything, even my own parents and the rest of my family. I should consider getting a therapist but i have trouble speaking to others due to severe social anxiety and a really bad stuttering problem so now i dont bother. My confidence has also taken a massive downward slope because ive been showing a lot of symptoms for parkinsons, the strange thing being im 17 years old and i thought it only affected certain older people. So now my life is just confusing and sad because of all this stuff, and im just scared. Hopefully someone sees this and tries to help me
People with 4/9 symptoms because they only gained 4.9 percent of weight are not clinically depressed, but if that same person ate 3 large pizzas then by tomorrow they would be depressed.
My patented depression cure. Stop smoking weed, start going to the gym, get slightly drunk every Friday night, and read lots of quality literary fiction
Won’t do it for me
For me, i feel like i cant get joy out of things i do, and i am tired, but i do get energetic at school maybe after 9:00 or 10:00, and i do feel slightly hopeless because my brother says i am, but these are all i really feel out of all the things you've explained.
My little sister was depressed from a long time. The problem with Indian families is that we think that depression is not something real and that a person is only sad from some things but that is so wrong i found it the hard way. She had too much zeal to clear competitive exam that she couldn’t think of anything else other than it. She seldom went to any family functions, was an extreme introvert and very emotional. Once she was left alone and she hanged herself in her study room at home. I get chills looking at the room now. I somehow hope that some day she will come through the front door from school with her inncoent smile on her face. It has been more than a week now that she left us 😞
Bhai 🥺🥺 i am also going through depression aur smjh skta hu ki aapki Choto behn kis bekar mental state mein thi , my heartfelt condolences 😢

How do psychologists distinguish between someone with a chemical imbalance that is causing these symptoms and someone who has a lifestyle or set of circumstances that is causing them? If the cause of these symptoms is external, medication and therapy would seem to have little to no effect. Regardless, there is a financial incentive in America for medical professionals to promote the idea that their patient is suffering from a disease so they can justify a regiment of medication and/or therapy.
Run a blood test to diagnose an imbalance, treat that imbalance for a while and check back for depression some time after. It’s also very possible to have depression caused by several different things, in which case, more treatment is necessary.
First off the chemical imbalance for depression is not accepted, yet AD’s do seem to make changes in the brain that help some people. Some like SSRI’s do not help anhedonia. So it is complicated.
A full physical examination is always the starting point before any depression diagnosis. And then a psychiatrist with a psychologist can be most useful.
It is complicated and there can be layers as our lives are complicated as well.
Depression is considered a true mental & biochemical disorder. It is a truly recognized illness. And it is the fight for your life! Hold fast, keep seeking, keep learning & advocate for yourself. Reach out for help too. It is available.
@@patricialyons491 most people with depression are depressed for a reason
@@leftthatbehind6090 I'm in total agreement with your comment. I speak from personal experience, as a person with a diagnosis of chronic, long term depression, my first reaction was ,'Well no shit! I guess I have a good reason to be here now with this diagnosis!' I'm the daughter of two alcoholic parents. Come from a broken home. My mother was chronically ill from the age of 30 with a rare auto immune disease, undiagnosed for 20 years. It manifested as Rheumotoid Arthritis & she suffered horribly with the crippling Arthritis, severe pain & drank excessively for some relief. She also had a history of severe depression, had attempted suicide in her 20's by suffocation with a plastic bag over her head. My father saved her life! This was years before my brother or I were born. The topic of depression was never even brought up in those years! It's complicated, deeply seated pain. From abuse, trauma, loss, it runs deep through family histories. Emotional, psychological, cultural effects that drive dysfunctional coping behavoirs that result in serious outcomes throughout the years & years. Healing is so painful & such hard work! It's amazing we've come this far ahead of the all the layers over the generations. Many don't make it through. I'm now just turned 66 years, just recently have come out of a a 6 month deep funk of depression that snuck over me last winter of 2021. I currently have two adult sons with serious issues, both suffer from Depression, one has spoken of suicide on & off since Jr. High age. Has had multiple rounds with counciling, is challenged with many developmental issues, & is fighting to overcome & move forward to claim his own life path. Thank goodness. I've considered suicide in the last 25-30 years, but keep fighting to move forward & live with joy & gratitude. My older son is currently & finally able to address his history issues of declining health & depression. Thank goodness! Plase don't give up! Help is available!.All can dial 988 now. It is a choice to reach for help. I didn't mean to be preachy or over share my personal issues. Sorry if I've offended anyone. Take care. It can & does get better with time & effort. I believe it's worth that!
Thanks God, I'm fine at the moment but I've been there. I keep busy with nice stuff like pilates, meeting friends, going out
I am a 13 year old. Idk how to tell my parents. I cry every 5 minutes but they think I am just faking it all. I have severe headaches, can’t get even 2 hours of sleep at night, feel hopeless. There is just no meaning to my life. I am just a useless kid who just uses parents’ money for stuff. I feel guilty. I want to end it all but I am tooo tooooooo scared. I think I need to see a therapist, but I am too scared to tell my parents. I am severely depressed and I can’t stop tears rolling from my eyes. I have no meaning to live on this earth. I don’t deserve anything.
The solution is to find help...🙏 Counseling to find the root of your sadness. Talk about your pain and focus in getting well. If you can love God and be thankful for the little things. You will feel better. Even a disgusting creature like a cockroach doesn't wants to die... And run 🏃 for it's life... We are more than a cockroach... Don't forget... God loves you...🙏😍
You can be going through counseling, love God and depend on Him and still be depressed. Personal experience. It's an incurable mental disease. Now, I DO agree that counseling and God helped me and can help many. But it's not a simple cure all. I do appreciate you trying to add positivity to this comment section, though.
I only have 4 : can't enjoy things, want to kill myself all the time, feel worthless and can't concentrate. Good to know I'm healthy
When I'm out doing errands I watch people and think if they think about killing themselves as much as I do.
Lmao you’d think that be enough to diagnose depression
Thank you, I realized that I was depressed. I'm actually crying 9 out of 9.I'm truly depressed
8/9 baby! Going for 12 years of my life. And an official diagnosis. It’s confirmed my life is shit 🔥🔥
At least I don’t feel guilty
When you don't wanna do anything is it always depression?
not always but it is a common factor of depression
9/9 wonderful
The best thing i've ever done for myself was realized that depression is a medical condition. It answers the question "Why me"? The sorrow remains but now I have a reason.
You know it's deep when yesterday @ a pizza shop an old man accidentally bumped and broke a glass of pepper flakes. For a SPLIT second I thought it was my fault. Crazy huh? Now I called off from work today not cause of that but because I HATE my job and life. Trying to make things happen but it's like a damn curse is over my head..
Who scored 9/9
👇🏻
Just tell me how to disappear
Other Signs that I have experienced with bipolar depression:
- not talking as much
- subconciously distancing yourself from other people
- not wanting to do anything
- feeling hopeless or wnting to give up
- wondering what's wrong with you nd wishing you were normal
I'm sorry for anyone who's experiencing this! Know it gets better :)
I've had five of these for two years (ever since my grandma passed)
I have had ALL the symptoms for over 3 years. Maybe one day I’ll get better
First time I actually got all answers right 9/9 a+++
Thank you I'm not depressed anymore
I have all of these every day
I have some of these of these signs but I never think of ending my life Life is to good to just have it leave.
The fact that I got 9/9 😢 I cry everyday thinking about lots of ppl dieing and killing myself and I don't feel anything no more, I always pretend to be happy just to keep others happy,I've experienced alot throughout my life especially when I was 3 (now 12)
I have 9 of the 9
I want so badly to end my life but I couldn’t do it to my little brother, it’d destroy him but the urge is so so strong.
I have been smoking as many cigarettes as I can for years now in order to give myself cancer so my family will be more understanding if and when I end my life.
For the rest of you I pray you get through whatever you’re going through but for me unfortunately I think I’m done, I’ve been coughing blood for almost a year now and getting severe shooting pains in my chest and stomach for around 6 months which are getting progressively worse. Soon I’ll visit the hospital and depending on what I get told will determine my fate I suppose.
I can’t handle being this lonely and this sad anymore.
Peace brothers
Remember seeing a therapist when I was in high school didn’t really help now I’m in my early 30s and I still find myself depressed. Best advice I can give you all these moods go up and down in levels we just Gotta get to the next moment it gets better and it gets worse I don’t know what the fix you answer is all the best.
Been fighting and struggling with this for so long...I'm just exhausted by it all at this point. Dunno how much longer I can keep this up. It started when I was a teenager and I'll be 34 next month....the thought of doing this for another 30 years is absolutely horrifying to me and takes my breath away.
Self inquiry. Sunny Sharma. Look him up. Ure not ur thoughts. And manifesting/manifestation is a real, real thing. Find urself
Our thoughts & feelings are forever fleeting. They’re unstable. The only thing that is truly stable & peaceful is the inner self, the observer of thoughts.
now I know what is happening
thank you ❤
Have all of them and feel like an empty shell, it's far worse when you don't understand the real reason for such state and just living through
I have almost all these but I just smile through the pain through out the day so my family and friends don’t worry about me 😊
I’m not sure what I have but I’m 23 and I’d say this started around a year ago. One minute I’m happy and motivated, I fantasize my career and my love life, I get butterflies picturing how great life is going to be, but then I get this weird cloud of negativity where I just want to lay in bed all day and do nothing. When I get this low feeling I don’t want to work, I don’t want to go to school, I don’t talk to family or friends and in my mind I just want to curl up into a ball and be alone forever. It sucks because my parents think it’s just me being lazy, but I know what being lazy is like. I don’t want to be a loser who has no friends, no job, and no passions, but when I get the low feeling I just have no interest in doing anything aside from laying in bed away from everybody. It just sucks to go from motivates to sad and having no control over it.
I feel so much better now! I only have 9 out of 9!!
I got all 9 of these but i still smile
i have had amost all of these for like 3 weeks but this vidoe makes me feel a little better
The last one is so true
Yippee….
I’ve had 7 of the signs for 4 months😊
Well , it's very frustrating when got depression and you not tell nothing to everyone about your depression but I should work on positive things. I know it's hard but thanks for give the symptoms ma'am. So I should be positive more .
i’ve had all of these for years now
How I am broken is if death comes in front of me I will hug it 😢
Thank you. To everyone who is like me, remember that someone loves you
well i knew i was depressed for many years already but glad to confirm it once again...
I do all these all the time, but i still can work as usual. It's just feel so heavy when logically there was no big problems at all.
