I hold resentment towards everyone. Like I'm just fed up with everyone's garbage. It's a part of my depression. Just don't care about too much anymore.
I'm crying so, so hard while I'm watching this. It explained how I feel so accurately. I really wish I could talk to someone about this and get diagnosed, but I can't bring myself to talk about my emotions at all. It does feel better to see that I'm not alone, although I'm sorry to anyone else feeling this way.
Ask your pcp about a therapist to talk to because it really does help!! You will learn coping skills, why you feel the way you do and how to deal with those feelings. Because, that’s what we do , push the feelings down because it hurts too much or we don’t know what to do with them and at some point in your life, and trust me on this, you will have a major event happen and then your world will come crushing down!! You will have no choice but to deal with the feelings and so much more at that point!! It really is important for you to start therapy now . Not trying to scare you I just don’t want anyone to go through what it did. Best of luck and much love 💚 ; if you have any questions I’m here

Sometimes, I walk around in my room talking to myself about all my problems and thoughts. I talk for hours but only scratch the surface of everything I really want to say. Basically acting as my own therapist I have so much stuff in my mind I've bottled up for years with barely any help, it'll take me forever to get it all out.
You'll get there. I know I am. I've taken time to listen to my dark side without letting it bother me. Now I am a happy critical thinker who has yet to become independent and fully expressive.
Sounds like me! MY advice - continue working it out w/ yourself. Its timeconsuming+seems endless but feels good to get it out *and* you learn deeply new things everytime. JUst dont make 1 conclusion and leave it - theres always more+new pieces/angles to handle. It helps you cope
Iv done this alot myself..even if a show I like or have prombles with I talk to myself about it cause I don't have friends to talk to about em..that and maybe idk what am saying half the time😅but Yeah..I done this for sooooo many years now..So it's kinda nice😅 to see am not the only one that does this but also..here a hug👐💕
I have the same situation.. I just walk and talk to my self in mind or out loud about how i feel and what bothers me. I dont know if im going crazy or Its just acting like my own terapist
Oh yeah one more thing Remember you cant pour something from empty cup so help yourself if you wanted to help other not only for other but for everyone including yourself, you're a human too you deserve what people deserve.
I am feeling the same way too, I put too much on my plate and it definitely affects my stress and anxiety levels. I am also glad to be part of this community.
My brother had been acting odd and once I show'd him this video he admited he thinks he has deppresion. We finally got him help and I spent all my money on it. Im so happy u made this video 😅

The most hurtful thing you can say to a depressed person: "Just stop it, you just feel sorry for yourself and that's pathetic" Thanks xgf and family for your love and support.
My therapist told me today that it’s ok to cry it out but just don’t be stuck there for too long. I am going through it right now with my mom and I just fell back into deep depression. I didn’t want to experience it. I wanted to pretend that everything was ok but it’s important to allow yourself to process your emotions.
Cry, crying actually helps feel better, its good, you express yourself and not just hide emotions... Times can be hard and we people can get depression and mental ilnesess, but reach for help and support and you will be better. Why did you avtually get depression?
Half this comment section shows that most parents never believe you, it's kind of sad because I think I may have depression but don't like speaking to my parents about it

*“You’ll watch an entire Netflix series even when the first episodes are slow just because someone told you that “it gets better” but what if you looked at your goals like that and watched your life get better instead?”* Love from a small channel💙
I had a breakdown when I was in the car with my parents they asked jokingly if I hated them and I responded to them by saying “Hate is a strong word...” and they didn’t like that and started yelling at me and how I should be more grateful about everything they give me and how I should smile more and when I told them about me being worried that there’s something wrong with my mental health they told me that I don’t show any symptoms of having depression or anything like that. They just kept taking and I couldn’t tell them why I thought that they told me and told me over 5 times that I was fine. And I’m okay with writing this because no one will care it’s the internet people always lie and you can’t tell right from wrong or good from bad.
I'm sorry your feelings weren't validated by your parents. Actually, I do care about what happened to you even though it's the internet and we've never met. You sound like an intelligent person and I believe you will find good caring friends if you haven't already. Many people unfortunately have toxic parents, you might benefit from reading the book "toxic parents" . Best wishes.
Parents think they know you but you are the only Person that knows you best. You don't need validation from someone else. Your feelings are your feelings. There is no right or wrong. Seek out for professional help to talk. Parent's are probably not the best option for helping you. Because the relationship with parents is often a big part of the issue in the first place. You are your own person. Your own feelings and needs. And you are the one who have to do something about it if you want a change. Take good care of yourself. You are not alone.
I can feel you cuz same happens to me all the time and I'm just tired being like this that's why I stop telling my problems to my parents even I don't have that kind of friends who knows what's going on in my life and they just come for their benefits and becoz I genuinely wanna help them as I am going through the pain I don't want anyone to feel like me so at last I am all alone
I feel the same but my hope isn't gone my hope is with God. But at the same time number 6 where she's talking about what's my purpose what's my purpose. I'm all the time praying help me find my purpose help me find my purpose on this world.. It's so stressful and draining I just want to be happy.
Basically me. But I also waste a lot of energy to find something good in my life. That action proved to be completely pointless but I still do it just for the sake of having "a hope for the best".
I wanted to type something that would mean something to you, to make you feel better. But I know that there is nothing that I alone could ever say to make that true. I know you’ve lost hope in yourself but I hope that you find fulfillment in your life some day anyways.
I have hidden depression 100%, and I normally bottle up my emotions because I keep telling myself I'm being dramatic or that I'm just doing this for attention....even when Im in a conversation and suddenly burst in tears my mom/dad will tell me that there is no reason to be crying, even though I talked to them about me having anxiety and depression a few months ago. It's like they just won't accept it. So now I'm just a fake that pretends to be happy and questions every aspect of life. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one 🖤
@Zoe Collins I talked with my parents about it and they said they will find a professional to help me....but I never wanted a therapist in the first place because I'm scared they will just think I'm crazy or that I'm just being dramatic, I also didn't want a therapist because I have this problem where when I have to speak about my symptoms I for some reason I can't say anything- I get very anxious in those kinds of situations 🥺 But thank you, I'll see if I can figure something out!
1) Your sleeping pattern has changed - oversleeping or undersleeping. 2) Your eating habits have changed. 3) You become self-critical and put pressure on yourself. 4) You experience intense emotions. 5) You struggle to express painful emotions and stay in-denial of symptoms. 6) You become obsessed with philosophy and purpose (questioning your purpose and meaning of life). 7) Becoming uninterested in things you used to enjoy. 8) You cry out for help and struggle to admit your symptoms and you make excuses. 9) You struggle with intimacy and care for yourself. 10) You focus on too much on having gratitude and invalidating negative emotions. 11) You compartmentalise your feelings to "deal with later" or "never".
"You're just overreacting" "no, I'm not" "Why are you depressed then?" "I-...don't know" "see you're just pretending" "I am not pretending that I'm sad, I'm pretending that I'm happy."
OMG. I’m listening to this twice now. The bit on gratitude really stood out. I was in a 12 step program for a long time. It ALWAYS seemed that we needed to focus on gratitude rather than working through all the stuff. I understand gratitude can shift your focus, but one must deal with this issues at hand. 🙏🙏
I agree with you. Gratitude gives you hope for a future. But, you still need to face your demons to get past them. Good insight. Keep up the good fight. You are not alone.
Life is supposed to be depressing, given the way people are today, political climate in western nations, and the way things are in general. The ones that are happy and show it are the ones with the mental problem and are clueless. The depressed ones are the ones with some sort of grasp on reality. Life really does suck. It is okay to realise this fact.
“A good and consistent sleeping pattern is very important and healthy for your mental and physical wellbeing.” Me watching this at 3am when I need to wake up at 6am: 👁👄👁
I wish my friends understood what my depression is. My tears are a quiet "I can't thank you enough, but please go away" and my smile is a cry for help.
Don’t expect anyone to understand you except your creator because everyone is disloyal except God,Know yourself,love yourself,make a better version of yourself so that you don’t need anybody to solve your problems ,I pray for your healing and have a great future
I had this feeling from past 2 years but I never talked about them with my parents because they still think, "Theres Nothing like depression, we all have tension.. and people who seek for psychologist or psychiatrist are mental" But one day, I couldnt take it and asked them to please take me to a psychiatrist... And here I'm diagnosed with severe depression and OCD.... Nothing changed... But at least one step in chaning my parent's mindset that psychiatrist is not for mad...
"You cry out for help and then make cover-up excuses" *me making suicidal jokes and everyone taking them just as jokes* Edit: Some of y’all need to chill When I say suicidal jokes I mean the really obvious ones that people clearly know aren’t just jokes, I’m sorry that wasn’t clear Also, to some of you, please get help Talk to someone, anyone, @ me in the replies if you want to talk/vent or anything
Oh no .....if you need to talk I am always here! I'm always here to listen to whatever you have to say and give you advice, please be safe; we all love you you are important 😊
What if You were born in a family who think depression is just a joke? It makes you having a fear of "what if they understand i have depression? Would they Hate me? Or would they call me stupid?"
@Kendall Henderson It's so sad how a lot of people can relate to this. Where I'm from when anyone who is just sad they say "I'm depressed" when they're not they don't know the difference. I wish when influencers or activists talk about mental illness to also talk about how much bad parenting affects. You can put a post asking if they grew up with any type of abuse from their parents there would be hundreds and thousands of people who would comment. Sometimes I think parents have a privilege when we say that they are abusing us to other people. Everybody I talked to about my abuse from parents never took it seriously and they tell me that they are "disciplining" me. It concerns me about this generation.
They think I'm just lazy. I used to be such an active person, did sports, played instruments, and just loved watching anime and movies. Now nothing. My sleep is shit, I'm so hungry at one point then next I dont want to eat for a few days. I wasn't always like how I am now. Circumstances happen.
I relate to the "asking for help and immediately covering it up" sign. when I told mom she said I'm fine and I don't need to go to anyone so I gave up on trying. I was able to tell about my problems to my friends, but they're not able to help me. I tried to go to our school therapist for a month now, but every time I tried to go to her I just... Couldn't. My mind told me that "your problems are irrelevant so don't waste her time" or "it's nothing, you can deal with it by yourself" so I don't go. I know I need help, but I just can't tell any professionals my problems. It's like there's some sort of a web between me and the people that can help me that won't let me through and I'm sick of it
I kinda know how you feel. I know I need professional help, but when I find it, I'm not totally honest or authentic. Examle: I don't tell them that I binge drink. I feel like I'm covering some of my problems up.
If you just would tell all that to therapist that you just wrote, it would be more than enough to get started. Professional is able to carry on from there and quide on. Don't give up!
Same. I had a mental breakdown back in 7th grade and told my dad I wanted to kill myself after he threatened to have me sent off to a military school because my grades were shit. They have literally never brought it up again, and nothing has changed about it. My dad still has his gun safe open close to 75% of the time, and nearly everything in there is loaded (I’ve checked :) ), and when it is closed there are times I just walk up to it and wish I knew the combination. It feels like they don’t care at all when I try to get help and they ignore it. I brought up the fact that I might have problems after telling my diagnosed friends about my symptoms since I have no way to truly know. Even after all of that, my parents refuse to let me get checked out for anything, and I don’t really tell them anything about my feelings or what I’m going through since they just ignore it.
Please don't give up. There are ways to get through this. It may feel like you're the only one that has gone through this and that you're insufficient in handling this but unfortunately it's been experienced by humans throughout history. It's very hard, but the life often is. I would recommend you talk to someone, possibly a school counselor. They're familiar with depression and probably have coping techniques or may be able to refer you to better help. Life is worth living, even if some days don't feel like it. Please try and seek help. At the very least, research it on the internet. It can explain how depression works, coping techniques and that you're not alone in dealing with it. You are no more less than, than if you were diabetic, had high blood pressure, needed glasses,ect. Our bodies are often imperfect, but that shouldn't define you. We just learn to compensate for the things that are less perfect. I'll bet you have a heart for those who struggle in this world. A compassion. Hang in there. You Can get through this. 🫂
When you need to cry and talk to people but you hate talking about feelings but when you get enough courage to talk people don’t have time for you:🙃 internal crying*
That feeling really sucks as it may make you feel unloved or as if your feelings have been glossed over, it’s a trashy feeling and nobody deserves to have to feel that way. Just know that you are loved and that they care for you, even if they aren’t good at showing it Ûvû as a stranger and an mha fan, I genuinely hope you feel better soon and even though it’s hard to talk to people about it, keeping those feelings bottled up aren’t good either. If these people are worth keeping around you, then they’ll recognize you’re in pain and do their best to ease your sadness. It’s okay to cry :)
Ya usually let it all out at night so nobody could hear me cause I always think I’m all alone and I have this pillow/stuffed animal my dad gave to me when I was young and I would always just cry at night hugging him….
One of the biggest problems I have with my depression is reaching out to friends. When I'm feeling very depressed, my self worth feels very negative and it feels like I'm just a burden to everyone else and everyone would be better off if I didn't exist. I know its not true and it's just the depression talking but the feeling is so strong its hard not to agree with it when I'm feeling depressed.
We’re all in this together, remember that! Sometimes, life sucks. It truly does. And it will get worse, almost always. But remember, it will also get better! I hope you know that life always has a purpose, and sometimes it can take a long time to see it, but it is always there. Please remember that there are people here for you (everywhere! Here, friends, etc.)!
I really would recommend to research the law of attraction it has changed my life and I'm trying to wake people up to the truth because you create your reality and you can change your life into a happy one where you have everything with every wanted I have created the channel for those who want to know the truth about this reality
This explains me I would like stay up til 5 Am and still not be tired, I’d over think about my self, and I have been eating less, random break downs at random times, and so on. And I hope the best to the people who have depression like me
@@julietevis4224 it doesn’t matter if it’s a chemical imbalance, I’m not disagreeing with you tho because that is a fact. But by saying that you are underestimating Gods power. He is able to uplift and heal anything in our lives and this world. Never underestimate God, because you truly never know, maybe if it’s apart of Gods will your depression will be healed, and I’ll be praying for this to happen!!
for me it is also very difficult, I always feel like I am failing BTS with the fact that I cannot accept myself, I cannot love myself, I cannot speak myself and it hurts
@@melllloon Well, as a fellow army let me tell you that you are not disappointing bts at all. Loving yourself IS difficult, and it is something that most people struggle with at some point of their lives. BTS telling us to love ourselves shouldn't be used as another reason for us to be disappointed in ourselves if we can't do it. It should be our reminder that we are worth it, and that we are worthy of love. If you love bts, you probably think they are amazing, right? They just want you to realise that you're amazing in your own unique way too. And maybe you can't see it now, but I promise that the people around you do. Or will do.
The eating and sleeping ones are complicated Some days I can't sleep Some days I can't wake up Some days I want to eat Some days I don't Does this count as changes?
This video is incredible. I watched it the first time around four months ago and it was a huge wake up call for me. I finally got help and am improving. I was so in denial about my depression that I didn't realize this lifelong problem. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Thanks so much for sharing your improvement story with getting the care you need,it helps give folks like me with a untreated Depressed loved some hope.Best wishes for your path to good health.
Parents, taking away things that make your kid happy will *NOT* "cure them" like- ur basiclly taking ur kids happiness away ur just making it worse and extending the time they are sad.
The scariest thing for me is that mental illness like depression might not be temporary. It's something I might have to deal with for the rest of my life.
I know what you mean. There’s good days which are a reprieve, and then the dreaded bad days. Once the bad days add up, or there seems to be little or no good days anymore, it gets a bit overwhelming. I’ve felt that way a lot lately. I heard someone say once to “not go from bad, to catastrophic” and I remind myself of that at times. Hang in there and hope you’re well.
@@heyyou9693 Lol this is what I respond to my parents everytime they ask how I am doing. I know for a fact that I am basically never happy or genuinely feeling good, but some days are still better than others, and I also don't want to worry them, so my respond is always "it's ok - same as always"
My therapist said that i probably have depression and anxiety disorders, but she recommended that i go to a psychiatrist to see if i have anything else, and after seeing this video, i'm more sure that there is definetly something wrong, thank you for the important info!
Phone is the only thing that makes me feel better and my online friends are so supportive too. (I dont hangout with my irl "friends" , i dont like them and refused to befriend them. Cuz they dont know what an opinion is and would force you to do something that you dont want to. And they just need me whenever there's an English assignment. Srry for bad eng, eng is not my first language + sorry for the little rant
They are many different programs in your area due to income/age and urgency. Seeking help for depresssion can be the very best thing you can do for yourself.Physicians are not always immediately makibg you taking medicatins. If this is not you thing, just be honest!!!is not your bag. There are so many really good therapists and MDs that are super awesome to talk with. Really easy going. ones, more our age, that just talk and learn about you. Some may offer to get labwork done (dont worry, one teeny needle) labwork often has the answer right there.. All im saying is I suffered for 37 years. Then a lady at some lunch funch came up to me and had same story. Get help. Its free. And, YOU GET TO BE HAPPY! 😊☺️my name is Julie and i work in a Mental Health Office for18 years now. Comment me back if you are in an area that you arn’t familiar with depression councilors. I may can help. Eveyone one of you is important! Everyone. Julie in Tx
I feel everythinf in this video and these comments. Its like theres a big fog in my mind and everything is jumbled up but I dont know what to do or who to go to for help.
It's really hard, my depression and my actions caused me to lose a lot of things lately, almost everyone in my life. But it reminds me of who is really there for me in my hardest times, always remind yourself of that
My mom does not believe me and it's very sad because I have never felt my laugh is real for a very long time. I just feel so forced and I try not to cry all the time and I distance my self from others so they don't have to see my sad, but I'm never happy and my mom is like "why are you distancing yourself! Y are u sad, what is your reason?!" And I'm like what the fabreeze dude! I can't control it I just don't feel right, but I know I'm not alone.
I am sick of this 'you're not alone' thing... Yeah, I GET IT! IT'S NICE AND ALL! BUT I AM ALONE! I AM F***ING ALONE MY ENTIRE LIFE! MY SIBLINGS HAD DIED! MY BOYFRIEND HAD KILLED HIMSELF! AND MY PARENTS F***ING HATE ME!!! I AM GETTING ABUSED SINCE I WAS LITTLE! I SELF-HARM VERY ROUGHLY AND MY PARENTS PUNISH ME FOR IT! I WASN'T EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE BORN! I LOST ALL MY FEELINGS! I'M GAINING WEIGHT! I ASKED FOR HELP, BUT NO-ONE! NO ONE!!!!! GAVE IT TO ME! EVER!!! WE ARE ALONE! STOP SAYING WE'RE NOT!
@@On1_Ryu I don't know you but at least I wanted to give you my support, keep fighting, you survived all that and you can keep going because you are strong, if you need a psychologist try to go to one. I don't want to say the typical things because I know it doesn't help but I wish you the best
As someone who has all symptoms mentioned in this video, I want to tell you one thing you got wrong. It doesn't happen suddenly. To me it's been happening for four years already slowly getting worse. I'm better now, watching your channel and slowly trying to put myself back together. I don't think I will go to a doctor. At first I wanna try to do it on my own. Thank you so much for your content. It is a life saver.
Seeing a doctor doesnt mean you'll be put on meds unless you want to or that you are so deep that is the only current "quick fix" i was so scared to go see doctors or therapist because i believed they would try to put me on meds but in the end they didnt because i don't wanted to. Maybe in other country it's different but at least in france or for me that's how it went and i'm glad i went to see one... they actually found that i have ADHD which explain a lot of other shit and now i'm trying to get on my feet, without meds but with better habits and a stronger will
Also, seeing a doctor will only help IF you share EVERYTHING you are dealing with. I was always worried about what they might think of me, so I barely broke the service and failed to share what was truly happening to me. I write a lot of short stories and poems, for the moment they are helping me get through each day. Baby steps.
Yeah actually If u have realised it that you are going through it then I will suggest u to go to doctor immediately as you might end up making few mistakes in relationships and the relationship u have. So, I will rather suggest u to go there as I tried to fix it on my own but I realised I missed so much of myself after a few time and it has become more worst. So don't do this mistake if u want your relationships to be better with yourself and loved ones. Thank u
Reading this reply section kinda get me thinking about seeing a doctor now 'cause I think I'm having every problems addressed in the video. It's been a month since I realized the symptoms and it's gradually getting worse despite trying to fix myself since then. Hope everyone's doing okay and thank you for sharing your experiences l.
You know, even for people who have been professionally diagnosed and are receiving treatment, this is still educational. I never realized so many of my own habits and problems are symptoms of my depression. Thanks for this, it’s really helpful.
if you need help go talk to your friends, family and people you trust, life can be great and will get even better after the pandemic ends so do not waste it and life have a lot of good experiences and memories that are gonna make you think it was all worth it, a lot of people who tried to end their lives remember that they changed their mind and are happy to be alive, if necessary search for help in the internet and if you can afford it call a therapist "ending your life is a permanent solution to a temporary problem" also do not be shy to call for help.
@@leorichard7955 What if you dont trust your family and have no friends offline who can actively help you...? After accidentally venting to my current only friend, i realized how toxic my depression was with how much i was complaining to them as i have noone i can talk to.. I ended up having to unfriend her and stop speaking with her just so she can live a healthier life without needing to worry about me. It was for the better, but i feel lonelier than ever.. Even worse that i don't think i need to get help as i feel it'll just ruin my family more than it already feels atm.. I'll just break everyone around me if i start being selfish with my care when i have 2 baby brothers that deserve more care than a newly aged adult like i..
@@sundalosketch4769 your depression and your complaining wasnt the issue, if you complained about it, it just mean that it was your way of asking for help ... i do not believe that it was for the better, if she was actually worrying about you i bet she still does... "i have no one to talk to" to me that literally means "please help me i'm lost" You need help that's a fact, if you don't trust your familly try to talk to a therapist, if he/she is an asshole find an other one. YOU ARE WORTH IT Selfish ? you want to know what selfish is ? having childs, idk about you but i never asked to be here in the first place, to have my name and all that shit that came along. YOU ARE NOT THE PROBLEM. that to me is selfish.. when i see so many broken kids that end up killing themselves because their parents didnt cared ... THEY WERE NOT THE PROBLEM. I'm a 12yo in a 23yo body ... i'm scared of so many shit that i can't do what i want but you know what, i'm tired of living like this ! it's time to fight ! it's time to get the control back. You may feel like you are a burden to your familly, friends and even if that was true YOU ARE NOT THE PROBLEM, but you have a problem. and you need to deal with it sadly i cannot help you more than that...i trully wished i could ... i tried to use words that would i guess have helped me in my darkest moment... YOU DESERVE TO BE CARED FOR , YOU DESERVE TO BE LOVED no matter what you think... don't give up... please...
Same I know my mom knows but we just don’t know how to talk about it and I get so angry talking about it..and I feel like I’m always repeating myself and she just never gets it..I just feel like if you’re gonna ask and belittle me about what’s wrong then try to understand and help me don’t undermine what I’m saying or say “well that’s not my fault why are u taking it out on me” at that point just leave me alone like I’m tired🤦🏽♀️
@@shawnakay5290 And the worst part is that my best friend knows about it, and offers to help all the time, but until I have a breakdown, I refuse to burden her with my problems, even though subconsciously I know it'd make it all so much easier to deal with. I hope you have someone you can talk to about it x
Same my mom and dad would help me but me and my mom fight so much that I don’t even want her to care about my mental health. I would never kill my self (because it’s the most selfish thing a person could do to there family and I have 2 little sisters and don’t want to hart them) so honestly just leave me alone and don’t ask questions… it’s hard wishing you were dead but not being able to do anything about it. I love my family but I’m just not in a good place right now☹️
Omg same .... like i feel like I'd make them worried bout me and sometimes i think that if i had a kid it'd break my heart if my kid had depression.... i just don't want my parents to be tensed .... secondly idk why but whenever i try to express something my tears just can't stop ... like it's not something to be sad bout in the first place but still i cant help it :(
I opened up to my mom and she said it’s puberty and depression doesn’t exist and I’m to Young for it. She said stop being sad over nothing and get out of it. Then I told my brother he said it even more hurtful. And now I have trust issues and my depression is stronger.
I was actually diagnosed with deppression about 2 years ago, and these symptoms are very similar to the ones I have. Some major, some minor. Even though I'm on medication for depression and other mental issues, it all doesn't go away fully. And it's hard to express to someone that you may have depression, or just explaining feelings in general to someone. At least for me, is very complex because the other party member just doesn't understand the mental pain that people with depression go through.
I am quite sure that I am depressed. I suffer daily from having had a Stroke 12 months ago. 5 months before that I had a fall & broke my Femur. (Thigh Bone ). I have been married for 48 years & my husband doesn't understand how a Stroke can leave you feeling. My Mother had a Stroke at 65 years of age & because of the way it left her she commited suicide. My Father was of no help. I am 69 y.o. & had this Stroke because of built up "stress' over many years. As it not actually seen on the outside, people do not realise how I am. Don't put up with "stress" that will go on to ruin your life. "Stress" is a killer that affects your whole body. Don't just live in this state. Move on , move away, seek help, look after yourself. If you ignore yourself & your feelings & just always get on with it as I have done & Mum did it will come back to bite you. To everyone , look after yourselves & strive for health & happiness. Kindest regards. ❤️
@@stewhiteywhite you can't clear depression with meds as much as you can't cure adhd with meds ... they make you think that meds are the only way but it's not ... that's how they get more money. not saying you should not take meds if they help but in the end like you said they make you feel Ok that's it.

This is so true. I've had my diagnosis for a little over ten years and just about all of the symptoms listed are ones I regularly experience in varying degrees of severity. It's hard at times to describe how I am feeling because I'm often not "just sad".
My sister told me once, when I was in a really BAD spot… “you don’t have to get over anything, you can put it in a box and carry on” it has helped me leaps and bounds. That doesn’t mean I forget, I just don’t let it rule my life.
this is stupid people that are depressed can't just cover shit up and get on with their life. The reason they are depressed is because they are overwhelmed. You don't get it.
to the people who disagree with this, it doesn't mean neglecting and bottling up emotions. It's true, you cant cover up actual depression and expect it to go away like that. It's more like stopping the never-ending path of overthinking problems that seem unsolvable at the moment. We are more than just broken people with problems and mistakes, so defining ourselves that way only makes it worse because you believe it.
Wendy Darling, this practice will eventually manifest into physical ill health. Not addressing your issues openly and honestly with the help of therapy is very harmful. If not now, at some time down the road.
My best friend has depression, she does not talk about her feelings or when she does she laughs/smile with nervosity. I always new she was not feeling good and now that she was diagnosed it help so much to understand her and help her. She does everything in this video everyday, all the time, and I just hope that she'll be able to recover, it must be so hard but you can all do it, overcome it in some ways I'm sure. You are worth it and LOVED and most of the time you don't realize it, but its true. No I can't know how hard it must be, and I'll never know, (hope) but I'm still sure that you can do it, you reading this. I mut stop or I'm gonna cry and write an essay ^^' but yes, I believe in her, and I'll always be there cause that's what friends do right ? :D
After you watch daddy pull his eyes out of his head when you're nine years old and then in your adulthood you're too scared to leave the house because of all the evilness out there in the world and when you do have to leave the house it's like one of those commercials where you hold a :-) up over your own face I will always appreciate that empathy that you have shown I wish my own family would do the same
It's been a few years since my first diagnosis with depression. At the time, I was told to take more vitamin D and was given free sessions with a psychiatrist- I went to a school for disabled people during this point of time and the psychologist there was helpful, but being there made me uncomfortable at times. I realize that in my current stage of life, what makes my depression worse is actually found in the different behaviors that are listed in this video. My current therapist has been very helpful in more ways than one... Sometimes though, I go through periods of not talking to him as much as I should, thinking that I can handle my problems on my own.
As someone who is experiencing depression and hiding it from work, this is an accurate representation of me. I hide my depression in fear of losing my job. I struggled concentrating at work, but I could still function, barely. Anxiety and fear cripples me when I'm at my workplace during the worst cycle of my depression. Btw, I have bipolar disorder and this video is very relatable. Thank you for posting it to make awareness about hiding or compartmentalizing one's depression 💜.
I’m terrified of the thought that to receive help from a therapist I need to see him and talk to him. i’m postponing the appointment for about 6 months now, because i’m scared of social interaction. I’ve been diagnosed with depression and anxiety earlier in my life, but medication didn’t help that much. I know that I’m the only person who can save me, but I can’t make a call. I hope everybody who struggles with it can find the courage and power to fight. Thank you for creating a safe place here❤️
Had the same issue. Ultimately it all comes down to "how to handle anything that seems too big for me right now" aka decomposing the process in a number of really small steps while actively ignoring the overflow of thoughts about it - negotiating with the monster inside of you. Example for the appointment : no postponement, wait until the time comes (so do nothing). Then: can I go outside - yes. One step after the other (literally), can I take the transport, can I enter a building, can I ring a bell, can I sit down. It's not easy the 1st time but it's easier after. Try to distract your brain with a game or a book. Suddenly you're there. And also (s)he is not going to ask you directly how you feel and to tell them all your most horrible thoughts, (s)he will start asking about your day, if you feel comfortable, just start by tiny things like I have a brother, I work at X, or I'm at home right now, I studied at X, maybe a typical day for you, your sleeping and eating patterns... Etc. Go easy on yourself, no pressure. Don't worry about what you are wearing or how you look. Also give it some time, the 1st session is really just a conversation. If that doesn't work there are online therapy solutions as well, videos you can watch, books you can read... Also in your identity you try to change to being "the type of person who goes to therapy", it's a step forward and nothing to be ashamed of or afraid of. It's a smooth process and not another traumatizing experience. I've been seeing someone for 1 year while reading/hearing about the topic and I feel like a different person. Start with tiny things, like the hours of sleep or things you eat. It has a huge influence. Hope it helps!
if you need help go talk to your friends, family and people you trust, life can be great and will get even better after the pandemic ends so do not waste it and life have a lot of good experiences and memories that are gonna make you think it was all worth it, a lot of people who tried to end their lives remember that they changed their mind and are happy to be alive, if necessary search for help in the internet and if you can afford it call a therapist "ending your life is a permanent solution to a temporary problem" also do not be shy to call for help.
Hi. I have severe chronic depression and have had it for years. It took me years to get up the courage to call out for help. It took me a couple of counselors before I found a good fit. When you do make the call, start with little stuff you are pretty much over to make sure this counselor is a good fit. Having said that, you have no idea how wonderful it is to someone who “gets it”. Someone who has been trained to understand what I am going through. Now I wish I had reached out years ago. You have no idea how wonderful it is to have someone who understands.
Hi Haze purple. Postponing the appointment is so understandable because depression absolutely zaps your energy. I will be praying for you. I was there it took me decades to reach out for help. Now it is amazing to be able to talk to someone who truly understands what I am going through

People tell me I can't have depression because I'm 12 Well I also had to go thru Physical abuse, mental abuse, neglect, being homeless, and self harm issues since before I was 12. Mental illnesses shouldn't have a required age Edit: thx for the replies and likes! I hope everyone is doing well too :)
I totally agree with you. People of every age group can experience trauma and mental health issues that should never be invalidated because of age. I wish you great healing from your traumatic experiences❤️
Me:-too tired to hide my emotions that day- My parents reactions: “Why are you so tired?” “Did you sleep early yesterday?” *grounds me for not doing what I’m told*
The one abought having trouble expressing negative emotions hits really hard for me, somthing abought saying to somebody that you feel bad makes me cringe for some reason
What I’m very worried about, that feeds into my cycle of anxiety, is worrying about falling into the darkness, worrying about running out of time when making a decision, worrying about making a mistake, worrying about being a social outcast, worrying about being trapped in this anxiety cycle, etc… I’m going through a lot of anxiety, like a huge amount. It’s mainly in my head. I just feel so fucking frustrated, that I feel like I can’t stop this anxiety, that I’ve let this go on for far too long. I feel so frustrated. I’m mainly worried about just getting so overwhelmed by the amount of anxiety I feel..
literally every parent ever: *"its the phone hand it over"* Bruh. even kids need a break from life sometimes.if you see your child isn't feeling their self lately, offer them a talk or a simple hug. or that's what I would do because you never know all that's happening in your child's life as you aren't there 24/7 and they Don't just open up easily some do but 99% Don't
Exactly I agree with you. Parents need to start accepting the fact that we kids dont always have everything figured out and the fact that our life isn't always rainbows and cupcakes... If only they knew what it's like to be a student in 2021.. Maybe they would have known how hard life gets for us too
INNIT BRUV!?!?!!!! MY PARENTS ARE ONE OF THE REASONS I HAVE DEPRESSION, I LOVE THEM SO SO SO SO VERY MUCH, BUT BECAUSE THEY JUDGE ME SO MUCH, I CANNOT TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!!!!!
@@MTZAnimates Don't do anything irrational, once you get a chance tell someone else. maybe a friend, or a teacher, or anyone really and get it off of your chest you'll feel a little better. i told my teacher, and his wife actually had anxiety like me and talked with me it felt really good to tell someone, i hope your parents finally listen to you one day. you have a good day and just remember you have a meaning in this world. 🙏💕
My mom says she knows everything about me and she doesn’t even know my favorite color. My life isn’t a big happy rainbow. I spent most of my days alone because everyone is always busy and they never have time for me. Then she says the phone is isolating me. Then she says my sadness is from puberty. That doesn’t even add up.
I'm sorry. I am older and I have discovered that I had to learn to mother myself. I say the things to myself that I wish my mom would say to me. It's hard to do at first and you feel silly, but it is really helpful long term. Also, I have found for me that some women, usually ones who never had children, but who mothered me during various stages of my life. These "mothers" are awesome.
I tend to imagine that I'm talking to my friends or a therapist, this way I can vent my frustration and cry thinking that someone is listening to me. This also means that I wouldn't worry people. Venting to them means you'll let them know that you're not fine, and people worrying about my wellbeing makes me uneasy, maybe because I'm used to people not caring for me even after I reach out for help.
As someone that has suffered depression i think this video is a very good quick summary. The thing is that depression never really leaves you after and comes into waves even years later.
@@rakamazumdar8806 It come's & goes, Raka. I've gone year's with out it and spent the last 7 year's in a BAD Depression. The first one under a Psyciatrist. I recomend getting HELP. Try and stay off Medication's.... They are good for a while BUT NOT long-term..... Listen to other's who suffer from Depression.... Make up YOUR OWN MIND about what help's.... {VERY IMPORTANT, that bit of advise.} I understand your comment "i dont want to spend the rest of my life like this!", I'm still saying that and I'm 75 next month. "gOOD lUCK". mICHAEL.
As someone who has dealt with depression and actively helping others dealing with these issues alot of these signs i have recognized and or hace seen in action, im glad to be of help even if it to encourage you to not guve up
Hey I just wanna say your voice actually makes these hidden symptoms actually feel like a really big problem. Like I used to think depression is no big deal. But this video helped me realize that this is a very big deal, and I plan on using these symptom signs to help me see if someone I know has depress ion. So I would like to thank you for helping me. Thank you.
I had a short depression (2-3 months) due to being locked in my room for 2 years with the pandemic. It was very hard to get out of bed even if I was awake and I constantly felt like if anyone did or say anything loud/bad/strong to me I would immediately break and start crying with posible panic attacks (depression doesn't mix well with anxiety). For me depression is feeling like I'm in the edge of breaking and I need to protect myself from anything bad, so I avoid people or tell them to not even joke around me. My psychiatrist recommended to start changing some things before trying pills. A change of diet (I stopped eating any processed foods), going out in the sun and walking barefoot on the grass, having my computer out of my room in the living and leaving all my electronics there so I only use my room to rest. All that helped me and after like 3 weeks I started getting control again. Luckily I wasn't in too deep yet and was able to get out without months of treatment.
That's not depression, that's sadness from social isolation. Big fucking difference. "People talk about depression all the time. The difference between depression and sadness: Sadness is just from happenstance, whatever happened or didn't happen for you or grief or whatever it is and depression is your body saying to you 'I don't want to be this character anymore. I don't want to hold up this avatar that you've created in the world. It's too much for me.'" - Jim Carrey
I have manic depression and I found this video and decided to check it out, see how many of these things I have done, I still do, and which ones I seem to have stopped doing. At one point, I did all of these. Right now, I do about 3/4th of them. Luckily, I have learned that progress, even in baby steps, is still progress. Depression isn't a thing you can "just fix" but it is something that can get better. But the first step is admitting you have it. If you came to this video in wonder for yourself, then you may have it and this is just a test to see if you still feel that way. Do not play with mental health. Many people overlook it, but it can destroy your life if you don't take it serious. I know the step is hard, and it makes you feel like a lesser person, but it doesn't. You have to make that first step, but once you do, it'll get better. The first step to making the problem better is admitting you have a problem.
I admit that I have bipolar disorder and almost everything I every did or tried to do fell apart. I admit that I tried the drugs and they made me a drug addicted zombie so I don’t take them and have to deal with the consequences.
@@iwantyourcookiesnow it's rough sometimes, but you have taken the right steps in acknowledging what you did wrong. You can make it through this. It may take a bit, but you can, and will, make it through.
I recently got diagnosed with Mayor depressive disorder and it has been a roller coaster before and after. Before getting diagnosed I didn’t know it was that bad until it got worst. I was convinced that I didn’t had to get help. I have always been scared to go get help. It was so hard to be vulnerable and talk how I really feel. Decided to go to the college psychologist and I cried in every session, I was (am) all over the place. After a few sessions she suggested a psychiatric evaluation. And here I am, the only people who knows are my boyfriend and sister. I have lost the few friend I had, it affected my college grades, my social life, everything. Today I started my medications after having them and not having the courage to accept that I needed them.
Her voice makes me almost feel comfortable with having a secret crippling depression. It seriously is the only thing in two years that has made me feel peaceful.
Wow, the finding meaning and purpose one really resonated with me. I’ve delved into a lot of philosophy, spirituality, and even futurism the past 10 years. I didn’t know that could be a feature of depression but it makes sense. One small silver lining of this dreadful condition, I can hold a pretty deep metaphysical conversation.
After living through 2 episodes of severe depression, I still find it difficult to form into words to explain to others what having depression feels like. To me, it most felt like a dam was broken, my psyche/mental state could not take any more, everything about me and subsequently my life had changed, normal was alien to me. Depression doesn't go away, it sticks with you like a stain on your soul, I've never recovered the confidence I once had. You just learn to live with it, and try to find meaning and happiness in life, accepting and moving on is a big part of recovery. People aren't strong enough to pull themselves out of the well that is depression, the first step is accepting that you need help, it's necessary to have some sort of support here, asking for help doesn't make you a smaller person, in fact it's the opposite. To those of you who are feeling suicidal let me tell you this, I understand your pain, not wanting to live anymore is the worst feeling that anyone can have, to go through so much pain that you just can't cope anymore. People say it's the easy way out, but it's the hardest thing to do ever. Suicide is the antithesis of life, there's nothing easy about it. But you can't just be stuck feeling that way, you have to do something, either take your own life and end your suffering, or fight on and live for yourself, live for any small or selfish reason. Not being able to take your own life is not cowardly, even if you hesitate to do it for even 1 second, it means you want to live, no matter how shitty the situation, a small part of you wants to fight on, wants to carry on living. It gets better before it gets worse, you can't appreciate true happiness without experiencing true sadness. Having depression doesn't make you weak, it's a test from life/god/destiny/fate whatever you believe in, believe in yourself. You have been dealt a worse hand at life than others, prove to them that nothing can stop you, the hardest battle to be fought, is the one within oneself. There is light at the end of the tunnel, having lived with overwhelming negativity, I can say it definitely gets better, so fight on, keep on living and pushing through, because you'll become a better person for having survived depression.
Depression is this to me. That dread that accompanies waking up-another day of unwanted life!! Only being happy when asleep! And even after 14 hrs, I will endeavour to sleep more. I'm also homeless for xmas this year. Maybe I'm just one of life's losers. My general hatred for people that 'have a life' is becoming worse. I hope new covid restrictions means disruption for everyone's day at xmas. That or nuclear Armageddon would make me smile
@@bobdudman1885 I can really relate the the sleeping addiction. I struggle so greatly to get any peace- I miss it so much- and I can barely sleep so when I can it is such a relief but short lasting. I’m alone for the holidays this year, i know it’s terrible. Even though the holidays aren’t very nice for people experiencing the same feelings as us, it is 10x worse to watch others enjoying it, especially with people they love. It makes me angry tbh. I know that’s terrible but I don’t even care at this point. You’re not alone tho. Everyone on this thread is here for a reason, some of us suffering more than others. Hope you make it through.
When I'm feeling down, depressed, when I slide into that low place, I put a stop to that kind of thinking right away and actively put myself in a good mood. I realize that feeling down serves no practical purpose. Neither does feeling good but at least I like feeling good. I like being in a positive mood and for me it takes as much effort to keep myself in a good mood as it does to dwell on being negative...a feeling I don't like being comfortable with. I don't need any pills or someone telling me "to think positive thoughts" or yoga or any of that nonsense. I need full control and mastery of my mind, and I have it (most of the time).
a couple time's i've just broken down in my room. When a close(r) friend told me she was going to a different school, I got a gift and outfit ready. I picked out a new outift.. the next day I was supposed to be dropping off the gift but my mom didn't get up to go after work. the second time I asked her and she said she would but she didn't. then the one fucking time i'm unprepared she tells me to get up, so we can go. that was the last time I was ever going to see her in real life. so while changing in my room I broke into tears and said this to myself while crying: "this is the last time you are ever gonna see her and you don't even have the outfit ready, the outfit you wanted to wear. the outfit that said "I actually tried this time." thanks so fucking much mom. I didn't even get to wash the clothing.. I hate this
Every time I watch one of these I start crying bc that is exactly whats happening to me and I'm like "oh, I probably have depression" I'm so glad I have my first appointment with a therapist:)
A few years ago my friends started to find me anoying for being depressed all the time. They said that i wasn't like that before but i was, it's just that i could hide it. But at some point you get too exhausted to hide it anymore. Idk I was always the class clown and stuff but all that humor and energy was comming from a dark place. Now im stuck in that abyss, and after so many years here, i don't even know what normal life is supposed to feel like
if you need help go talk to your friends, family and people you trust, life can be great and will get even better after the pandemic ends so do not waste it and life have a lot of good experiences and memories that are gonna make you think it was all worth it, a lot of people who tried to end their lives remember that they changed their mind and are happy to be alive, if necessary search for help in the internet and if you can afford it call a therapist "ending your life is a permanent solution to a temporary problem" also do not be shy to call for help.
@@leorichard7955 the pandemic literally has nothing to do with it and honestly im so tired of people saying that "it'll get better after the pandemic" like no it won't. It hasn't gotten better in like 6 years now. I can't even imagine my own future cuz i know i don't have one. Imma let life take me where it takes me, but it'll probably take me no where
@@leorichard7955 it's not ever easy to reach out for people like me and @ballie smak because if there was a reason to hide it, then it's pretty clear that it'll be hard to reach out, and it has nothing to do with the pandemic and probably never will, and i know people who've tried to end it but failed, and they aren't happy to be alive, and we can't just immediatly ''not be shy'' because if we could, we wouldn't be here.
@@Ballie_Smak I feel that, I've been depressed so long even my oldest friends never knew, they thought I was just quiet and lazy. until grade 10 when i started being the class clown and just like you having fun from a dark place, doing crazy shit for attention. Literally sitting in class with a 2liter of pop and 2 bags of chips or leaving whenever I wanted and I'd wave at my class from outside through the window or when id come to class 30 minutes late with some burger king, it was wild but I was depressed every night at home, and the nights i didn't go to school. The hardest part for me was being 250lbs at 15 and I think if I hadn't I might have had a normal highschool life but who knows. Now all I have is loose skin, BPD, and no degree or future. But I feel life has a cruel way of punishing the good people of the world and rewarding the evils, most of the best artists have been through the most shit.
I literally started tearing up while watching this... Especially on the avoiding help and feeling like people will invalidate feelings. I keep wanting to say things and then not saying them and telling myself that I'll get over it and that I'm probably overreacting...
The last one about compartmentalisation was really interesting. I’ve done this my whole life to deal with things which I couldn’t handle and it’s getting to a point where all the lids on all the boxes want to blow. And I did it because of this and I never knew it wasn’t really healthy. Very helpful, thank you.

I'm at a point where I literally don't care about most of things now. Though there are things that I should feel guilty because those are wrong, I just feel nothing. Now I only feel empty and helpless 🙂

My depression gave me a strong feeling of resentment towards my parents for never understanding me or paying attention to my behavior. It's horrible.
I understand you. Going through that. Pointless debates with them and then fighting myself to stop myself from doing something rash
I love biriyani too🙂
I hold resentment towards everyone. Like I'm just fed up with everyone's garbage. It's a part of my depression. Just don't care about too much anymore.
I understand what you mean, i’m in the same situation.
I love my parents so much but hate them for being that blind.

I'm crying so, so hard while I'm watching this. It explained how I feel so accurately. I really wish I could talk to someone about this and get diagnosed, but I can't bring myself to talk about my emotions at all. It does feel better to see that I'm not alone, although I'm sorry to anyone else feeling this way.
That's heartbreaking. Find help if you need it. All the best to you.

Ask your pcp about a therapist to talk to because it really does help!! You will learn coping skills, why you feel the way you do and how to deal with those feelings. Because, that’s what we do , push the feelings down because it hurts too much or we don’t know what to do with them and at some point in your life, and trust me on this, you will have a major event happen and then your world will come crushing down!! You will have no choice but to deal with the feelings and so much more at that point!! It really is important for you to start therapy now . Not trying to scare you I just don’t want anyone to go through what it did. Best of luck and much love 💚 ; if you have any questions I’m here
❤

Same. Glad we’re not alone 🙃

That’s so true bro I do it all the time with people who need help with there emotional problems
it's cuz emotions can be contagious and i just always chose to be funny around people
I-
U made me cry-
I relate qwq
So true
Sometimes, I walk around in my room talking to myself about all my problems and thoughts. I talk for hours but only scratch the surface of everything I really want to say. Basically acting as my own therapist
I have so much stuff in my mind I've bottled up for years with barely any help, it'll take me forever to get it all out.
You'll get there. I know I am. I've taken time to listen to my dark side without letting it bother me. Now I am a happy critical thinker who has yet to become independent and fully expressive.
Sounds like me!
MY advice - continue working it out w/ yourself. Its timeconsuming+seems endless but feels good to get it out *and* you learn deeply new things everytime.
JUst dont make 1 conclusion and leave it - theres always more+new pieces/angles to handle. It helps you cope
Iv done this alot myself..even if a show I like or have prombles with I talk to myself about it cause I don't have friends to talk to about em..that and maybe idk what am saying half the time😅but Yeah..I done this for sooooo many years now..So it's kinda nice😅 to see am not the only one that does this but also..here a hug👐💕
I have the same situation.. I just walk and talk to my self in mind or out loud about how i feel and what bothers me. I dont know if im going crazy or Its just acting like my own terapist
Same I walk in my room taking to myself and also can’t sleep, my eating has changed and I’m 13

Oh yeah one more thing
Remember you cant pour something from empty cup so help yourself if you wanted to help other not only for other but for everyone including yourself, you're a human too you deserve what people deserve.
The animation on this channel is always good.
@@tomatobingi I agree.
@@adrevi3309 This is so true. Thank you.
I love the narrator's voice, it's so soothing.
Anxiety happens when you think you have to figure out everything all at once . Breathe . You're strong . You got this . Take it day by day .
I am feeling the same way too, I put too much on my plate and it definitely affects my stress and anxiety levels. I am also glad to be part of this community.

Oh hello there time traveller.
As someone with hidden depression, this is all true. And suicidal thoughts too
The most hurtful thing you can say to a depressed person: "Just stop it, you just feel sorry for yourself and that's pathetic"
Thanks xgf and family for your love and support.
May I add: "you're just feeling that way because you want to"?
I say that to myself all the time. Shaming myself is not working. ☹
Also "Everyone have problems"
That’s what my dad tells me.
Also “It’s all about perspective and you have to change your perspective” 😕
My therapist told me today that it’s ok to cry it out but just don’t be stuck there for too long. I am going through it right now with my mom and I just fell back into deep depression. I didn’t want to experience it. I wanted to pretend that everything was ok but it’s important to allow yourself to process your emotions.
Agreed it’s way easier said then done tho
💗
I was told this too by my therapist yesterday
Cry, crying actually helps feel better, its good, you express yourself and not just hide emotions... Times can be hard and we people can get depression and mental ilnesess, but reach for help and support and you will be better. Why did you avtually get depression?
no way... same
Half this comment section shows that most parents never believe you, it's kind of sad because I think I may have depression but don't like speaking to my parents about it
same
My cousins told my parents... Worse day of my life
My parents won’t believe a single word if I tell them... I smile to much and act to kind nobody would even suspect I have depression

Fantastic video(s) !!
Thank you.
Same but what's can help? In this situation
I had a breakdown when I was in the car with my parents they asked jokingly if I hated them and I responded to them by saying “Hate is a strong word...” and they didn’t like that and started yelling at me and how I should be more grateful about everything they give me and how I should smile more and when I told them about me being worried that there’s something wrong with my mental health they told me that I don’t show any symptoms of having depression or anything like that. They just kept taking and I couldn’t tell them why I thought that they told me and told me over 5 times that I was fine. And I’m okay with writing this because no one will care it’s the internet people always lie and you can’t tell right from wrong or good from bad.
Sending you a virtual hug. I hope you get the support you need. ❤️🧡💛🤍🖤💜💚💙🤎💕
🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
I'm sorry your feelings weren't validated by your parents. Actually, I do care about what happened to you even though it's the internet and we've never met. You sound like an intelligent person and I believe you will find good caring friends if you haven't already. Many people unfortunately have toxic parents, you might benefit from reading the book "toxic parents" . Best wishes.
Parents think they know you but you are the only Person that knows you best. You don't need validation from someone else. Your feelings are your feelings. There is no right or wrong. Seek out for professional help to talk. Parent's are probably not the best option for helping you. Because the relationship with parents is often a big part of the issue in the first place. You are your own person. Your own feelings and needs. And you are the one who have to do something about it if you want a change. Take good care of yourself. You are not alone.
I can feel you cuz same happens to me all the time and I'm just tired being like this that's why I stop telling my problems to my parents even I don't have that kind of friends who knows what's going on in my life and they just come for their benefits and becoz I genuinely wanna help them as I am going through the pain I don't want anyone to feel like me so at last I am all alone
TBH, I'm so exhausted with life nothing makes me happy I'm so unmotivated my hope is all gone.
I feel the same but my hope isn't gone my hope is with God. But at the same time number 6 where she's talking about what's my purpose what's my purpose. I'm all the time praying help me find my purpose help me find my purpose on this world.. It's so stressful and draining I just want to be happy.
Basically me. But I also waste a lot of energy to find something good in my life. That action proved to be completely pointless but I still do it just for the sake of having "a hope for the best".
I wanted to type something that would mean something to you, to make you feel better. But I know that there is nothing that I alone could ever say to make that true. I know you’ve lost hope in yourself but I hope that you find fulfillment in your life some day anyways.
@@sjcross8 Omg, thank you so much🥺
Honestly, maybe you just need to rest-physically and mentally. 🤷🏾 I feel you with the exhaustion and I hope you give yourself some grace.
It feels so good reading the comments and knowing you're not alone 🥺
I have hidden depression 100%, and I normally bottle up my emotions because I keep telling myself I'm being dramatic or that I'm just doing this for attention....even when Im in a conversation and suddenly burst in tears my mom/dad will tell me that there is no reason to be crying, even though I talked to them about me having anxiety and depression a few months ago. It's like they just won't accept it. So now I'm just a fake that pretends to be happy and questions every aspect of life. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one 🖤
True..
@Zoe Collins I talked with my parents about it and they said they will find a professional to help me....but I never wanted a therapist in the first place because I'm scared they will just think I'm crazy or that I'm just being dramatic, I also didn't want a therapist because I have this problem where when I have to speak about my symptoms I for some reason I can't say anything-
I get very anxious in those kinds of situations 🥺
But thank you, I'll see if I can figure something out!
It's true I tried to share my emotion to my parents and friend but I always think that they will say that Im just being dramatic and to get attention
Don't worry everything will be okay just don't take wrong step

1) Your sleeping pattern has changed - oversleeping or undersleeping.
2) Your eating habits have changed.
3) You become self-critical and put pressure on yourself.
4) You experience intense emotions.
5) You struggle to express painful emotions and stay in-denial of symptoms.
6) You become obsessed with philosophy and purpose (questioning your purpose and meaning of life).
7) Becoming uninterested in things you used to enjoy.
8) You cry out for help and struggle to admit your symptoms and you make excuses.
9) You struggle with intimacy and care for yourself.
10) You focus on too much on having gratitude and invalidating negative emotions.
11) You compartmentalise your feelings to "deal with later" or "never".
Thanks

OMG. I’m listening to this twice now. The bit on gratitude really stood out. I was in a 12 step program for a long time. It ALWAYS seemed that we needed to focus on gratitude rather than working through all the stuff. I understand gratitude can shift your focus, but one must deal with this issues at hand. 🙏🙏
I agree with you. Gratitude gives you hope for a future. But, you still need to face your demons to get past them. Good insight. Keep up the good fight. You are not alone.

Life is supposed to be depressing, given the way people are today, political climate in western nations, and the way things are in general. The ones that are happy and show it are the ones with the mental problem and are clueless. The depressed ones are the ones with some sort of grasp on reality. Life really does suck. It is okay to realise this fact.
Meh

I feel the same way but we are here for u I’m here for u hope u feel happier soon
That quote explains it perfectly. I can’t understand myself.
I had this feeling from past 2 years but I never talked about them with my parents because they still think, "Theres Nothing like depression, we all have tension.. and people who seek for psychologist or psychiatrist are mental"
But one day, I couldnt take it and asked them to please take me to a psychiatrist... And here I'm diagnosed with severe depression and OCD.... Nothing changed... But at least one step in chaning my parent's mindset that psychiatrist is not for mad...
"You cry out for help and then make cover-up excuses"

@@little_butterfly9329 well. Mine thinks depression is some kind of unnecessary sadness and laziness.
@@jolab3660 lol mine don't even know what depression is. TwT
@Kendall Henderson It's so sad how a lot of people can relate to this. Where I'm from when anyone who is just sad they say "I'm depressed" when they're not they don't know the difference. I wish when influencers or activists talk about mental illness to also talk about how much bad parenting affects. You can put a post asking if they grew up with any type of abuse from their parents there would be hundreds and thousands of people who would comment. Sometimes I think parents have a privilege when we say that they are abusing us to other people. Everybody I talked to about my abuse from parents never took it seriously and they tell me that they are "disciplining" me. It concerns me about this generation.
They think I'm just lazy. I used to be such an active person, did sports, played instruments, and just loved watching anime and movies. Now nothing. My sleep is shit, I'm so hungry at one point then next I dont want to eat for a few days. I wasn't always like how I am now. Circumstances happen.
Me: **typing down how I feel**

„im just gonna annoy them, dont waste their time“ is always the reason im not sending the message
Same
This entire reply section is a mood
Thats me-
Me: **erases everything halfway because I got overwhelmed of thinking about my emotions and trying to comprehend them*
I relate to the "asking for help and immediately covering it up" sign. when I told mom she said I'm fine and I don't need to go to anyone so I gave up on trying. I was able to tell about my problems to my friends, but they're not able to help me. I tried to go to our school therapist for a month now, but every time I tried to go to her I just... Couldn't. My mind told me that "your problems are irrelevant so don't waste her time" or "it's nothing, you can deal with it by yourself" so I don't go. I know I need help, but I just can't tell any professionals my problems. It's like there's some sort of a web between me and the people that can help me that won't let me through and I'm sick of it
I kinda know how you feel. I know I need professional help, but when I find it, I'm not totally honest or authentic. Examle: I don't tell them that I binge drink. I feel like I'm covering some of my problems up.
If you just would tell all that to therapist that you just wrote, it would be more than enough to get started. Professional is able to carry on from there and quide on. Don't give up!
Same. I had a mental breakdown back in 7th grade and told my dad I wanted to kill myself after he threatened to have me sent off to a military school because my grades were shit. They have literally never brought it up again, and nothing has changed about it. My dad still has his gun safe open close to 75% of the time, and nearly everything in there is loaded (I’ve checked :) ), and when it is closed there are times I just walk up to it and wish I knew the combination. It feels like they don’t care at all when I try to get help and they ignore it. I brought up the fact that I might have problems after telling my diagnosed friends about my symptoms since I have no way to truly know. Even after all of that, my parents refuse to let me get checked out for anything, and I don’t really tell them anything about my feelings or what I’m going through since they just ignore it.
Please don't give up. There are ways to get through this. It may feel like you're the only one that has gone through this and that you're insufficient in handling this but unfortunately it's been experienced by humans throughout history. It's very hard, but the life often is. I would recommend you talk to someone, possibly a school counselor. They're familiar with depression and probably have coping techniques or may be able to refer you to better help. Life is worth living, even if some days don't feel like it. Please try and seek help. At the very least, research it on the internet. It can explain how depression works, coping techniques and that you're not alone in dealing with it. You are no more less than, than if you were diabetic, had high blood pressure, needed glasses,ect. Our bodies are often imperfect, but that shouldn't define you. We just learn to compensate for the things that are less perfect. I'll bet you have a heart for those who struggle in this world. A compassion. Hang in there. You Can get through this. 🫂
When you need to cry and talk to people but you hate talking about feelings but when you get enough courage to talk people don’t have time for you:🙃 internal crying*
That feeling really sucks as it may make you feel unloved or as if your feelings have been glossed over, it’s a trashy feeling and nobody deserves to have to feel that way. Just know that you are loved and that they care for you, even if they aren’t good at showing it Ûvû as a stranger and an mha fan, I genuinely hope you feel better soon and even though it’s hard to talk to people about it, keeping those feelings bottled up aren’t good either. If these people are worth keeping around you, then they’ll recognize you’re in pain and do their best to ease your sadness. It’s okay to cry :)
@@domainii7089 thank you. I’m on FaceTime with my bestie and it is nice to talk to someone. Thank you for saying this.:)

@@winxwonder3163 it happens sometimes.
One of the biggest problems I have with my depression is reaching out to friends. When I'm feeling very depressed, my self worth feels very negative and it feels like I'm just a burden to everyone else and everyone would be better off if I didn't exist. I know its not true and it's just the depression talking but the feeling is so strong its hard not to agree with it when I'm feeling depressed.
my feelings exactly
I feel you.
Same here…
Yeah I feel you. The fear of rejection can be so overwhelming...
I know that feeling
I'm so tired of feeling this way...but even if I sometimes feel i'm not worth it...my friends do and that makes me live on
We’re all in this together, remember that! Sometimes, life sucks. It truly does. And it will get worse, almost always. But remember, it will also get better! I hope you know that life always has a purpose, and sometimes it can take a long time to see it, but it is always there. Please remember that there are people here for you (everywhere! Here, friends, etc.)!
Its called bad friends, 5 years ago i was 12 and hated myself and friends, i live life to the fullest, never give up.
I really would recommend to research the law of attraction it has changed my life and I'm trying to wake people up to the truth because you create your reality and you can change your life into a happy one where you have everything with every wanted I have created the channel for those who want to know the truth about this reality
That what’s helps me get out of bed in the morning too
Yeah. There are people who I love and who seem to maybe actually care, so I know I need to stay... for them.
This explains me I would like stay up til 5 Am and still not be tired, I’d over think about my self, and I have been eating less, random break downs at random times, and so on. And I hope the best to the people who have depression like me
I pray to God for everyone having depression. They may recover fast
Amen
Thanks but it’s a chemical imbalance. I will most likely have to live with it for the rest of my life.
@@julietevis4224 it doesn’t matter if it’s a chemical imbalance, I’m not disagreeing with you tho because that is a fact. But by saying that you are underestimating Gods power.

Never underestimate God, because you truly never know, maybe if it’s apart of Gods will your depression will be healed, and I’ll be praying for this to happen!!

for me it is also very difficult, I always feel like I am failing BTS with the fact that I cannot accept myself, I cannot love myself, I cannot speak myself and it hurts
@@melllloon Well, as a fellow army let me tell you that you are not disappointing bts at all. Loving yourself IS difficult, and it is something that most people struggle with at some point of their lives. BTS telling us to love ourselves shouldn't be used as another reason for us to be disappointed in ourselves if we can't do it. It should be our reminder that we are worth it, and that we are worthy of love.
If you love bts, you probably think they are amazing, right? They just want you to realise that you're amazing in your own unique way too.
And maybe you can't see it now, but I promise that the people around you do. Or will do.

I feel depression is that some days are better than others. When someone asks me how I'm doing, I say same as always.
@@pr9062 that is true
I know what you mean. There’s good days which are a reprieve, and then the dreaded bad days. Once the bad days add up, or there seems to be little or no good days anymore, it gets a bit overwhelming.

@@heyyou9693 Lol this is what I respond to my parents everytime they ask how I am doing. I know for a fact that I am basically never happy or genuinely feeling good, but some days are still better than others, and I also don't want to worry them, so my respond is always "it's ok - same as always"

They are many different programs in your area due to income/age and urgency. Seeking help for depresssion can be the very best thing you can do for yourself.Physicians are not always immediately makibg you taking medicatins. If this is not you thing, just be honest!!!is not your bag. There are so many really good therapists and MDs that are super awesome to talk with. Really easy going. ones, more our age, that just talk and learn about you. Some may offer to get labwork done (dont worry, one teeny needle) labwork often has the answer right there..

@@On1_Ryu I don't know you but at least I wanted to give you my support, keep fighting, you survived all that and you can keep going because you are strong, if you need a psychologist try to go to one. I don't want to say the typical things because I know it doesn't help but I wish you the best
As someone who has all symptoms mentioned in this video, I want to tell you one thing you got wrong. It doesn't happen suddenly. To me it's been happening for four years already slowly getting worse.
I'm better now, watching your channel and slowly trying to put myself back together. I don't think I will go to a doctor. At first I wanna try to do it on my own.
Thank you so much for your content. It is a life saver.
Seeing a doctor doesnt mean you'll be put on meds unless you want to or that you are so deep that is the only current "quick fix"
i was so scared to go see doctors or therapist because i believed they would try to put me on meds but in the end they didnt because i don't wanted to. Maybe in other country it's different but at least in france or for me that's how it went and i'm glad i went to see one... they actually found that i have ADHD which explain a lot of other shit and now i'm trying to get on my feet, without meds but with better habits and a stronger will
Also, seeing a doctor will only help IF you share EVERYTHING you are dealing with. I was always worried about what they might think of me, so I barely broke the service and failed to share what was truly happening to me.
I write a lot of short stories and poems, for the moment they are helping me get through each day. Baby steps.
Yeah actually If u have realised it that you are going through it then I will suggest u to go to doctor immediately as you might end up making few mistakes in relationships and the relationship u have. So, I will rather suggest u to go there as I tried to fix it on my own but I realised I missed so much of myself after a few time and it has become more worst. So don't do this mistake if u want your relationships to be better with yourself and loved ones. Thank u
Reading this reply section kinda get me thinking about seeing a doctor now 'cause I think I'm having every problems addressed in the video. It's been a month since I realized the symptoms and it's gradually getting worse despite trying to fix myself since then. Hope everyone's doing okay and thank you for sharing your experiences l.
That's alot like me honestly I show all signs as well but adding complications with anxiety it makes everything worse
⭐️The most challenging feeling I've noticed is a feeling of shame. ....it's great when you break out of it!⭐️
You know, even for people who have been professionally diagnosed and are receiving treatment, this is still educational. I never realized so many of my own habits and problems are symptoms of my depression. Thanks for this, it’s really helpful.
if you need help go talk to your friends, family and people you trust, life can be great and will get even better after the pandemic ends so do not waste it and life have a lot of good experiences and memories that are gonna make you think it was all worth it, a lot of people who tried to end their lives remember that they changed their mind and are happy to be alive, if necessary search for help in the internet and if you can afford it call a therapist "ending your life is a permanent solution to a temporary problem" also do not be shy to call for help.
@@leorichard7955 What if you dont trust your family and have no friends offline who can actively help you...? After accidentally venting to my current only friend, i realized how toxic my depression was with how much i was complaining to them as i have noone i can talk to.. I ended up having to unfriend her and stop speaking with her just so she can live a healthier life without needing to worry about me. It was for the better, but i feel lonelier than ever.. Even worse that i don't think i need to get help as i feel it'll just ruin my family more than it already feels atm.. I'll just break everyone around me if i start being selfish with my care when i have 2 baby brothers that deserve more care than a newly aged adult like i..
@@sundalosketch4769 your depression and your complaining wasnt the issue, if you complained about it, it just mean that it was your way of asking for help ... i do not believe that it was for the better, if she was actually worrying about you i bet she still does... "i have no one to talk to" to me that literally means "please help me i'm lost"
You need help that's a fact, if you don't trust your familly try to talk to a therapist, if he/she is an asshole find an other one. YOU ARE WORTH IT
Selfish ? you want to know what selfish is ?
having childs, idk about you but i never asked to be here in the first place, to have my name and all that shit that came along. YOU ARE NOT THE PROBLEM.
that to me is selfish.. when i see so many broken kids that end up killing themselves because their parents didnt cared ... THEY WERE NOT THE PROBLEM.
I'm a 12yo in a 23yo body ... i'm scared of so many shit that i can't do what i want but you know what, i'm tired of living like this ! it's time to fight ! it's time to get the control back.
You may feel like you are a burden to your familly, friends and even if that was true YOU ARE NOT THE PROBLEM, but you have a problem. and you need to deal with it
sadly i cannot help you more than that...i trully wished i could ... i tried to use words that would i guess have helped me in my darkest moment...
YOU DESERVE TO BE CARED FOR , YOU DESERVE TO BE LOVED no matter what you think... don't give up... please...
I know I'm depressed, but I feel really awkward talking about my feelings, I know my mum would help, but I just can't bring myself to talk about it x
Same I know my mom knows but we just don’t know how to talk about it and I get so angry talking about it..and I feel like I’m always repeating myself and she just never gets it..I just feel like if you’re gonna ask and belittle me about what’s wrong then try to understand and help me don’t undermine what I’m saying or say “well that’s not my fault why are u taking it out on me” at that point just leave me alone like I’m tired🤦🏽♀️
@@shawnakay5290 And the worst part is that my best friend knows about it, and offers to help all the time, but until I have a breakdown, I refuse to burden her with my problems, even though subconsciously I know it'd make it all so much easier to deal with. I hope you have someone you can talk to about it x
Same my mom and dad would help me but me and my mom fight so much that I don’t even want her to care about my mental health. I would never kill my self (because it’s the most selfish thing a person could do to there family and I have 2 little sisters and don’t want to hart them) so honestly just leave me alone and don’t ask questions… it’s hard wishing you were dead but not being able to do anything about it. I love my family but I’m just not in a good place right now☹️
Omg same .... like i feel like I'd make them worried bout me and sometimes i think that if i had a kid it'd break my heart if my kid had depression.... i just don't want my parents to be tensed .... secondly idk why but whenever i try to express something my tears just can't stop ... like it's not something to be sad bout in the first place but still i cant help it :(
I opened up to my mom and she said it’s puberty and depression doesn’t exist and I’m to Young for it. She said stop being sad over nothing and get out of it. Then I told my brother he said it even more hurtful. And now I have trust issues and my depression is stronger.
I was actually diagnosed with deppression about 2 years ago, and these symptoms are very similar to the ones I have. Some major, some minor. Even though I'm on medication for depression and other mental issues, it all doesn't go away fully. And it's hard to express to someone that you may have depression, or just explaining feelings in general to someone. At least for me, is very complex because the other party member just doesn't understand the mental pain that people with depression go through.
I am quite sure that I am depressed. I suffer daily from having had a Stroke 12 months ago. 5 months before that I had a fall & broke my Femur. (Thigh Bone ). I have been married for 48 years & my husband doesn't understand how a Stroke can leave you feeling. My Mother had a Stroke at 65 years of age & because of the way it left her she commited suicide. My Father was of no help. I am 69 y.o. & had this Stroke because of built up "stress' over many years. As it not actually seen on the outside, people do not realise how I am. Don't put up with "stress" that will go on to ruin your life. "Stress" is a killer that affects your whole body. Don't just live in this state. Move on , move away, seek help, look after yourself. If you ignore yourself & your feelings & just always get on with it as I have done & Mum did it will come back to bite you. To everyone , look after yourselves & strive for health & happiness. Kindest regards. ❤️

This is so true. I've had my diagnosis for a little over ten years and just about all of the symptoms listed are ones I regularly experience in varying degrees of severity. It's hard at times to describe how I am feeling because I'm often not "just sad".
Despite my depression, I enjoy listening to the narrator's voice and like the illustrations. Thank you.
My sister told me once, when I was in a really BAD spot… “you don’t have to get over anything, you can put it in a box and carry on” it has helped me leaps and bounds. That doesn’t mean I forget, I just don’t let it rule my life.
Good on you sis….
this is stupid people that are depressed can't just cover shit up and get on with their life. The reason they are depressed is because they are overwhelmed. You don't get it.
Terrible advice. Deal with your feelings. Squishing them down leads to more depression.
to the people who disagree with this, it doesn't mean neglecting and bottling up emotions. It's true, you cant cover up actual depression and expect it to go away like that. It's more like stopping the never-ending path of overthinking problems that seem unsolvable at the moment. We are more than just broken people with problems and mistakes, so defining ourselves that way only makes it worse because you believe it.
Wendy Darling, this practice will eventually manifest into physical ill health. Not addressing your issues openly and honestly with the help of therapy is very harmful. If not now, at some time down the road.
My best friend has depression, she does not talk about her feelings or when she does she laughs/smile with nervosity. I always new she was not feeling good and now that she was diagnosed it help so much to understand her and help her. She does everything in this video everyday, all the time, and I just hope that she'll be able to recover, it must be so hard but you can all do it, overcome it in some ways I'm sure. You are worth it and LOVED and most of the time you don't realize it, but its true.

It's been a few years since my first diagnosis with depression. At the time, I was told to take more vitamin D and was given free sessions with a psychiatrist- I went to a school for disabled people during this point of time and the psychologist there was helpful, but being there made me uncomfortable at times. I realize that in my current stage of life, what makes my depression worse is actually found in the different behaviors that are listed in this video. My current therapist has been very helpful in more ways than one... Sometimes though, I go through periods of not talking to him as much as I should, thinking that I can handle my problems on my own.
I saw the word free in there so I take it you don't live in America?
As someone who is experiencing depression and hiding it from work, this is an accurate representation of me. I hide my depression in fear of losing my job. I struggled concentrating at work, but I could still function, barely. Anxiety and fear cripples me when I'm at my workplace during the worst cycle of my depression. Btw, I have bipolar disorder and this video is very relatable. Thank you for posting it to make awareness about hiding or compartmentalizing one's depression 💜.

I’m terrified of the thought that to receive help from a therapist I need to see him and talk to him. i’m postponing the appointment for about 6 months now, because i’m scared of social interaction. I’ve been diagnosed with depression and anxiety earlier in my life, but medication didn’t help that much. I know that I’m the only person who can save me, but I can’t make a call. I hope everybody who struggles with it can find the courage and power to fight. Thank you for creating a safe place here❤️
Had the same issue. Ultimately it all comes down to "how to handle anything that seems too big for me right now" aka decomposing the process in a number of really small steps while actively ignoring the overflow of thoughts about it - negotiating with the monster inside of you. Example for the appointment : no postponement, wait until the time comes (so do nothing). Then: can I go outside - yes. One step after the other (literally), can I take the transport, can I enter a building, can I ring a bell, can I sit down. It's not easy the 1st time but it's easier after. Try to distract your brain with a game or a book. Suddenly you're there. And also (s)he is not going to ask you directly how you feel and to tell them all your most horrible thoughts, (s)he will start asking about your day, if you feel comfortable, just start by tiny things like I have a brother, I work at X, or I'm at home right now, I studied at X, maybe a typical day for you, your sleeping and eating patterns... Etc. Go easy on yourself, no pressure. Don't worry about what you are wearing or how you look. Also give it some time, the 1st session is really just a conversation. If that doesn't work there are online therapy solutions as well, videos you can watch, books you can read... Also in your identity you try to change to being "the type of person who goes to therapy", it's a step forward and nothing to be ashamed of or afraid of. It's a smooth process and not another traumatizing experience. I've been seeing someone for 1 year while reading/hearing about the topic and I feel like a different person. Start with tiny things, like the hours of sleep or things you eat. It has a huge influence. Hope it helps!
if you need help go talk to your friends, family and people you trust, life can be great and will get even better after the pandemic ends so do not waste it and life have a lot of good experiences and memories that are gonna make you think it was all worth it, a lot of people who tried to end their lives remember that they changed their mind and are happy to be alive, if necessary search for help in the internet and if you can afford it call a therapist "ending your life is a permanent solution to a temporary problem" also do not be shy to call for help.
Hi. I have severe chronic depression and have had it for years. It took me years to get up the courage to call out for help. It took me a couple of counselors before I found a good fit. When you do make the call, start with little stuff you are pretty much over to make sure this counselor is a good fit. Having said that, you have no idea how wonderful it is to someone who “gets it”. Someone who has been trained to understand what I am going through. Now I wish I had reached out years ago. You have no idea how wonderful it is to have someone who understands.
Hi Haze purple. Postponing the appointment is so understandable because depression absolutely zaps your energy. I will be praying for you. I was there it took me decades to reach out for help. Now it is amazing to be able to talk to someone who truly understands what I am going through

The one abought having trouble expressing negative emotions hits really hard for me, somthing abought saying to somebody that you feel bad makes me cringe for some reason
What I’m very worried about, that feeds into my cycle of anxiety, is worrying about falling into the darkness, worrying about running out of time when making a decision, worrying about making a mistake, worrying about being a social outcast, worrying about being trapped in this anxiety cycle, etc…
I’m going through a lot of anxiety, like a huge amount.
It’s mainly in my head. I just feel so fucking frustrated, that I feel like I can’t stop this anxiety, that I’ve let this go on for far too long.
I feel so frustrated. I’m mainly worried about just getting so overwhelmed by the amount of anxiety I feel..

Bruh. even kids need a break from life sometimes.if you see your child isn't feeling their self lately, offer them a talk or a simple hug. or that's what I would do because you never know all that's happening in your child's life as you aren't there 24/7 and they Don't just open up easily some do but 99% Don't
Exactly I agree with you. Parents need to start accepting the fact that we kids dont always have everything figured out and the fact that our life isn't always rainbows and cupcakes... If only they knew what it's like to be a student in 2021.. Maybe they would have known how hard life gets for us too

I tend to imagine that I'm talking to my friends or a therapist, this way I can vent my frustration and cry thinking that someone is listening to me. This also means that I wouldn't worry people. Venting to them means you'll let them know that you're not fine, and people worrying about my wellbeing makes me uneasy, maybe because I'm used to people not caring for me even after I reach out for help.
Yup i always think people have their own shit to deal with, and don't need to.carry my negativity too
As someone that has suffered depression i think this video is a very good quick summary. The thing is that depression never really leaves you after and comes into waves even years later.

But this video helped me realize that this is a very big deal, and I plan on using these symptom signs to help me see if someone I know has depress ion. So I would like to thank you for helping me. Thank you.
I had a short depression (2-3 months) due to being locked in my room for 2 years with the pandemic. It was very hard to get out of bed even if I was awake and I constantly felt like if anyone did or say anything loud/bad/strong to me I would immediately break and start crying with posible panic attacks (depression doesn't mix well with anxiety).
For me depression is feeling like I'm in the edge of breaking and I need to protect myself from anything bad, so I avoid people or tell them to not even joke around me.
My psychiatrist recommended to start changing some things before trying pills. A change of diet (I stopped eating any processed foods), going out in the sun and walking barefoot on the grass, having my computer out of my room in the living and leaving all my electronics there so I only use my room to rest. All that helped me and after like 3 weeks I started getting control again. Luckily I wasn't in too deep yet and was able to get out without months of treatment.
Excellent input ty
That's not depression, that's sadness from social isolation. Big fucking difference.
"People talk about depression all the time. The difference between depression and sadness: Sadness is just from happenstance, whatever happened or didn't happen for you or grief or whatever it is and depression is your body saying to you 'I don't want to be this character anymore. I don't want to hold up this avatar that you've created in the world. It's too much for me.'" - Jim Carrey

I have manic depression and I found this video and decided to check it out, see how many of these things I have done, I still do, and which ones I seem to have stopped doing. At one point, I did all of these. Right now, I do about 3/4th of them. Luckily, I have learned that progress, even in baby steps, is still progress.
Depression isn't a thing you can "just fix" but it is something that can get better. But the first step is admitting you have it. If you came to this video in wonder for yourself, then you may have it and this is just a test to see if you still feel that way.
Do not play with mental health. Many people overlook it, but it can destroy your life if you don't take it serious. I know the step is hard, and it makes you feel like a lesser person, but it doesn't. You have to make that first step, but once you do, it'll get better. The first step to making the problem better is admitting you have a problem.
I admit that I have bipolar disorder and almost everything I every did or tried to do fell apart. I admit that I tried the drugs and they made me a drug addicted zombie so I don’t take them and have to deal with the consequences.
@@iwantyourcookiesnow it's rough sometimes, but you have taken the right steps in acknowledging what you did wrong. You can make it through this. It may take a bit, but you can, and will, make it through.
I recently got diagnosed with Mayor depressive disorder and it has been a roller coaster before and after. Before getting diagnosed I didn’t know it was that bad until it got worst. I was convinced that I didn’t had to get help. I have always been scared to go get help. It was so hard to be vulnerable and talk how I really feel. Decided to go to the college psychologist and I cried in every session, I was (am) all over the place. After a few sessions she suggested a psychiatric evaluation. And here I am, the only people who knows are my boyfriend and sister. I have lost the few friend I had, it affected my college grades, my social life, everything. Today I started my medications after having them and not having the courage to accept that I needed them.
Her voice makes me almost feel comfortable with having a secret crippling depression. It seriously is the only thing in two years that has made me feel peaceful.
This channel has helped me through my Grandmas death and abuse from family.
I cannot thank you enough.
Wow, the finding meaning and purpose one really resonated with me. I’ve delved into a lot of philosophy, spirituality, and even futurism the past 10 years. I didn’t know that could be a feature of depression but it makes sense. One small silver lining of this dreadful condition, I can hold a pretty deep metaphysical conversation.
Wow, that's a great insight! 🙂
Just the sound of the reader’s voice gives me a warm sense of relief. So calming

After living through 2 episodes of severe depression, I still find it difficult to form into words to explain to others what having depression feels like. To me, it most felt like a dam was broken, my psyche/mental state could not take any more, everything about me and subsequently my life had changed, normal was alien to me.
Depression doesn't go away, it sticks with you like a stain on your soul, I've never recovered the confidence I once had. You just learn to live with it, and try to find meaning and happiness in life, accepting and moving on is a big part of recovery. People aren't strong enough to pull themselves out of the well that is depression, the first step is accepting that you need help, it's necessary to have some sort of support here, asking for help doesn't make you a smaller person, in fact it's the opposite.
To those of you who are feeling suicidal let me tell you this, I understand your pain, not wanting to live anymore is the worst feeling that anyone can have, to go through so much pain that you just can't cope anymore. People say it's the easy way out, but it's the hardest thing to do ever. Suicide is the antithesis of life, there's nothing easy about it. But you can't just be stuck feeling that way, you have to do something, either take your own life and end your suffering, or fight on and live for yourself, live for any small or selfish reason. Not being able to take your own life is not cowardly, even if you hesitate to do it for even 1 second, it means you want to live, no matter how shitty the situation, a small part of you wants to fight on, wants to carry on living.
It gets better before it gets worse, you can't appreciate true happiness without experiencing true sadness. Having depression doesn't make you weak, it's a test from life/god/destiny/fate whatever you believe in, believe in yourself. You have been dealt a worse hand at life than others, prove to them that nothing can stop you, the hardest battle to be fought, is the one within oneself.
There is light at the end of the tunnel, having lived with overwhelming negativity, I can say it definitely gets better, so fight on, keep on living and pushing through, because you'll become a better person for having survived depression.
I think you meant to say that it gets worse before it gets better.
you just mentioned what my brain thinks when i feel that burnt out of life feeling. i fight it with hobbies and positive vibes
Depression is this to me.
That dread that accompanies waking up-another day of unwanted life!!
Only being happy when asleep! And even after 14 hrs, I will endeavour to sleep more.
I'm also homeless for xmas this year. Maybe I'm just one of life's losers.
My general hatred for people that 'have a life' is becoming worse.
I hope new covid restrictions means disruption for everyone's day at xmas.
That or nuclear Armageddon would make me smile
@@bobdudman1885 I can really relate the the sleeping addiction. I struggle so greatly to get any peace- I miss it so much- and I can barely sleep so when I can it is such a relief but short lasting. I’m alone for the holidays this year, i know it’s terrible. Even though the holidays aren’t very nice for people experiencing the same feelings as us, it is 10x worse to watch others enjoying it, especially with people they love. It makes me angry tbh. I know that’s terrible but I don’t even care at this point. You’re not alone tho. Everyone on this thread is here for a reason, some of us suffering more than others. Hope you make it through.
@@bobdudman1885 also - you are not one of life’s losers. I have this feeling a lot too. Try to remind yourself every day 🖤
When I'm feeling down, depressed, when I slide into that low place, I put a stop to that kind of thinking right away and actively put myself in a good mood. I realize that feeling down serves no practical purpose. Neither does feeling good but at least I like feeling good. I like being in a positive mood and for me it takes as much effort to keep myself in a good mood as it does to dwell on being negative...a feeling I don't like being comfortable with. I don't need any pills or someone telling me "to think positive thoughts" or yoga or any of that nonsense. I need full control and mastery of my mind, and I have it (most of the time).
a couple time's i've just broken down in my room.
When a close(r) friend told me she was going to a different school, I got a gift and outfit ready. I picked out a new outift.. the next day I was supposed to be dropping off the gift but my mom didn't get up to go after work. the second time I asked her and she said she would but she didn't. then the one fucking time i'm unprepared she tells me to get up, so we can go. that was the last time I was ever going to see her in real life. so while changing in my room I broke into tears and said this to myself while crying: "this is the last time you are ever gonna see her and you don't even have the outfit ready, the outfit you wanted to wear. the outfit that said "I actually tried this time." thanks so fucking much mom.
I didn't even get to wash the clothing.. I hate this

Congrats on controlling your sadness. There's no way you can do that with depression tho.
it's not that easy. but okay
You took the words right out of my mouth. I can completely relate
A thing I hate is that when I have sleeping problems becouse of my depression that people just say "go to bed earlier"
Every time I watch one of these I start crying bc that is exactly whats happening to me and I'm like "oh, I probably have depression"
I'm so glad I have my first appointment with a therapist:)
It's great that you took a step towards it and went to a doctor, I hope you find your happiness soon! 😊
This video just described a lot of what I’ve been going through. I hope that sharing this with my family can help them understand better.
Me too
A few years ago my friends started to find me anoying for being depressed all the time. They said that i wasn't like that before but i was, it's just that i could hide it. But at some point you get too exhausted to hide it anymore.
Idk I was always the class clown and stuff but all that humor and energy was comming from a dark place.
Now im stuck in that abyss, and after so many years here, i don't even know what normal life is supposed to feel like
if you need help go talk to your friends, family and people you trust, life can be great and will get even better after the pandemic ends so do not waste it and life have a lot of good experiences and memories that are gonna make you think it was all worth it, a lot of people who tried to end their lives remember that they changed their mind and are happy to be alive, if necessary search for help in the internet and if you can afford it call a therapist "ending your life is a permanent solution to a temporary problem" also do not be shy to call for help.
@@leorichard7955 the pandemic literally has nothing to do with it and honestly im so tired of people saying that "it'll get better after the pandemic" like no it won't. It hasn't gotten better in like 6 years now. I can't even imagine my own future cuz i know i don't have one.
Imma let life take me where it takes me, but it'll probably take me no where
@@Ballie_Smak exactly everything you said
@@leorichard7955 it's not ever easy to reach out for people like me and @ballie smak because if there was a reason to hide it, then it's pretty clear that it'll be hard to reach out, and it has nothing to do with the pandemic and probably never will, and i know people who've tried to end it but failed, and they aren't happy to be alive, and we can't just immediatly ''not be shy'' because if we could, we wouldn't be here.
@@Ballie_Smak I feel that, I've been depressed so long even my oldest friends never knew, they thought I was just quiet and lazy. until grade 10 when i started being the class clown and just like you having fun from a dark place, doing crazy shit for attention. Literally sitting in class with a 2liter of pop and 2 bags of chips or leaving whenever I wanted and I'd wave at my class from outside through the window or when id come to class 30 minutes late with some burger king, it was wild but I was depressed every night at home, and the nights i didn't go to school. The hardest part for me was being 250lbs at 15 and I think if I hadn't I might have had a normal highschool life but who knows. Now all I have is loose skin, BPD, and no degree or future. But I feel life has a cruel way of punishing the good people of the world and rewarding the evils, most of the best artists have been through the most shit.
I literally started tearing up while watching this... Especially on the avoiding help and feeling like people will invalidate feelings. I keep wanting to say things and then not saying them and telling myself that I'll get over it and that I'm probably overreacting...
The last one about compartmentalisation was really interesting. I’ve done this my whole life to deal with things which I couldn’t handle and it’s getting to a point where all the lids on all the boxes want to blow. And I did it because of this and I never knew it wasn’t really healthy. Very helpful, thank you.

I'm at a point where I literally don't care about most of things now. Though there are things that I should feel guilty because those are wrong, I just feel nothing. Now I only feel empty and helpless 🙂
