Yeah I tried opening up to my friends about it last night. They just blamed me for my depression and said I was being dramatic. It just hurts so bad deep down, and I wish someone could take a chance on me
I've watched a ton of your "depression " videos and I match with every single criteria. Isolating myself from family and friends everyday, not being able to get out of bed, feeling tired even though i slept a lot, and what not. I tried to tell my parents about how I'm feeling and guess what reply I got. "Exams are coming up. Be serious and do not use depression as an excuse to not study". this channel is my only comfort place.
Exactly mere sath bhi yahi hua they thought I am using depression as an excuse to not being able to concentrate on studies and said "you didn't study and at the last moments since exams came up you're just making excuse nthg else" . And always gives me example of neighbors that " why didn't your frnd ever gone through depression , coz she wasn't faking depression and studying hard " I mean wtf 😫🤯
@@illxaire I hope you're okay sis . since i'm suffering the same i can understand what pain u r going through I wish you strength to deal with this bullsh*t and hope you get free from this prison called depression
i think the worst part about depression is how you know what to do, you know how to do it, when where, but you just don't. it's right in front of you but the first step is almost always impossible, even for basic necessities sometimes.
Honestly this video came at a perfect time. As of recently I’ve been feeling awful and not up to doing much of anything. Even doing the things i used to love seems more like a taxing chore than something I’d do for fun
what's hardest for me in depression is the intense physical fatigue that I feel on a daily basis when I've done nothing all day, it's downright unbearable! Especially when others don't understand that you can't take it anymore
@@aomineuchiwa5022 You are most welcome. Depression is a disease that drains all your energy and motivation. The simple tasks of brushing your teeth, taking a shower, and having breakfast are difficult in ways that non-depressed people don't understand. There is the over-all feeling of "It's just not worth it" about everything. Like you, I am just so tired that all I want to do is go back to bed. I am sorry you have to live with this, too. But it does help when someone understands. And, please, stay alive.
@@LtRee96se I understand very well what you mean my friend. I've been living with it for years now and it really is a constant daily struggle where the slightest relaxation can hurt you. especially since, as you say, people around you do not understand you at all, so you constantly take it upon yourself, repressing your emotions when the slightest movement is unbereable. I'm also sorry that you had to go through this. and stay live also my friend. In the world we live in now, when you suffer from a mental illness like depression, it can be very difficult to find your own way because only people who are truly suffering like you can understand you or a mental health specialist. we must keep fighting till the very end and i really hope we will get rid of it.
@@aomineuchiwa5022 Even if we can't get rid of the depression, we can help others understand what they are feeling is not laziness. It is a totally real disease that has parts that are physical as well as mental/emotional. I turned 60 yesterday. I have been living with this for years. I am some what proud that I am actually still living. I have not made another attempt to kill myself for at least 10 years, maybe more. While there are still dark days, there are still good ones as well. Dear Aomine Uchiwa, I am so glad to be able to talk to you. You are a wise person and I am proud to be your friend. Please take care of yourself. Don't get angry when you feel too depressed to do something. I got really low because I was so depressed I couldn't leave my house and join friends for lunch. But they love me and they are always glad when I can go with them. If I can't one day, they never take it personally. God still blesses me and I still love Him. I maybe 'messed up' or 'not right' as some people say, but it doesn't matter. God used a donkey to speak and if He can use a donkey speaking human words, He can still use me. And maybe I can help someone else not kill themselves. Please take good care of yourself. Now, as it is 5 am where I am, I'm going to sleep. Good night, my friend.
I've suffered with severe depression for years and I've been to multiple psychiatrist's and councillors but this video is the first time I've felt understood
@@pbufh who are you to tell someone who’s struggled for years what to feel understood about ? this video brought them comfort and that’s what matters and i may i add that numbers of mental health professionals severely lack at their jobs
I've had it for a few years already, its mostly mild but there's some days where it gets severe and the "laziness" part is true. Most parents (including mine) see depression as laziness but don't realize that their children are silently crying out for help.
For me, I’m pretty sure I have depression and my grandparents are always calling me lazy which doesn’t help anything. I talked to my grandma about me thinking I have depression but she still calls me lazy even though lack of motivation and energy is a part of depression. My grandma, at least kind of understands the severity of depression because my dad had it, and that is why he is not here today. But she just doesn’t understand all that comes along with it.
Same here, so you're not alone. I've had this so years. Some days are so bad that getting myself out of bed, even to use the bathroom, becomes a chore. I'm not lay at all, since I know things need to be done and want to complete tasks, but I'm really too exhausted to do them.
@@phatcat3705 I know my depression kinda just binds me to my room and it feels like it's a mental jail and I have to do stuff so I do it but I am getting weaker and weaker
I deal with depression on a regular basis. I live alone but idk if that's part of the reason. I like living alone, I love having my own space and the freedom to do what I want when I want. I love not having to consider other roommates when I do anything but I also realized that I am extremely deprived of any kind of human interaction that requires me to feel loved and nourished. Sometimes I need a hug or someone to be there and other times I don't want to be around anyone. Total contradiction I know, to want two opposing things at the same time.
That's a tough situation to be in. On one hand you want to be alone but on the other you know social interaction is what will help. Are there places you currently find the balance you need? For me, it's coffee shops. I don't have to interact with people, but I'm also not alone.
@@Psych2go The only place I go anymore is work and I have to be around people all day and by the time my shift is over I'm ready to be alone again. It's not healthy exposure becausey.job just leaves me stressed and unhappy moreso. When it's done I don't have the energy to pursue meaningful connections with others.
Ithica grey i don't think i have depression, but m quite like you too most of the time(except i don't live alone). I Don't want to be around people but too often i struggle with loneliness...
@@UnstableYT-u7k Same. I wish I have friends. I just feel so isolated from everyone. I’m going to a therapist to help me deal with it and help me resolve a lot of issues (mostly my regrets in my lack of a love life).
That’s exactly my situation. I’m home alone all day, though I love my alone time, I hate being lonely. I crave some companionship too, I just really want someone to hug me :( I never realised how badly I needed one until my colleague hugged me today :/ I’m so lonely and I hate feeling this way, it makes me so depressed.
Psilocybin containing mushrooms save my life. The drastically reduced my benzodiazepine withdrawal allowing me to quite illicit pill addiction after three years of heavy daily use before it would had became medically dangerous to quit
This is how i was feeling back in April. I was too overwhelmed by the stress of so many tests that i couldn't prepare for them properly and ended up failing FOUR subjects. I has never risked to get held back a year until then, and i was really worried. My parents weren't helping either, saying it was all my fault (and denying everything a few months later) I managed to fix it during the last month of school, but it made me insanely miserable. Tomorrow i'll start school again and i'm really worried that i'll end up like that again. I understood the importance of a positive mindset, but i'm still not that good ad keeping it
Hey friend 👋🏻 I’m in six classes currently with a part-time job. I’ve been in school seven years total - failed an entire semester, changed my degree completely, and lost motivation during this time (if I’m honest, I have been depressed for years…). I’m about to graduate in December & I still have the same thoughts as you, daily. There is no one way to handle them, but guess what? You don’t have to take it all on all at once & you shouldn’t! :). Break down your classes…if it’s the assignments, write them out. If it’s the test, make note of the dates & keep on top of study. But most importantly - DO NOT find yourself losing sleep, losing your temper, or losing your happiness. No, we won’t be *actively* happy because school stinks…but being so anxious that you cannot enjoy even small things like music or gaming are a big sign to take a breather. Also! Know that you are not alone! Many of us feel this way, and as someone who was in college well before COVID I can tell you it’s become even more stressful with our sociopolitical climate (among other issues).
Hey...thanks for sharing, I hope you feel better soon, know that there is always that 1 person that loves and cares about you, and if there is no one in your immediate then I am always going to love and support you no matter what,
I know how it feels to be in that situation. I wish you the best of luck with school, and I really hope you're alright. Things are hard, especially when you have depression, but I believe you can do it, no matter how hard it really is for you 💜
fr, I get so angry whenever my mom asks me to do some of the simplest things. Shower? I'll do it later. Clean my room? I'll do it tomorrow. Take out the trash? I'll do it later.
Started to go on therapy - first session done, next awaits this week. I'm a bit scared because from: therapy will be 1-2x/month and after first session we went for 1x/week. Anti-depression medicament also came into a question (If I've ever had some). My therapist looked at me saying : You do have an enormous plate in front of you, do not tell yourself otherwise, it's not small or unimportant at all (I do this all the time, saying: It could always be worse... Many people got it much worse and manage a lot better than me in life etc.)... I will see what these therapies will bring out... we barely started. But your videos made me go and do something about my health- so I wanna thank you for that and for existing.
Antidepressants made me feel really good then worse than I've ever felt in my life so be careful with any big pharma whatever it may be. Effexor and wellbutrin are the 2 "anti-depressants" that almost killed me.
While I've always had depression, it used to be a lot more tolerable than it has been in the past couple of years. I had to move away from my ancestral home in the countryside to go to college, and live in the city, which I severely dislike. That slowed down my studies with regular bouts of just not being able to get out of bed, but I continued. Then my grandparents, who I was very close to started dying one after the other. Then my parents got a divorce, which was actually good, their marriage was terrible, but still upsetting. After that I got a severe back injury, preventing me from doing any college work because I couldn't even sit up properly for years, so I dropped out. Then my father died, and it turns out, he had taken out some really bad mortgages when the banks were just giving out those with no oversight, so once he died the value of the farm had tanked and the bank came knocking for money. Then together with my brother we tried to save the farm and I started piling one job on top of the other to save the ancestral farm I had always wanted to return to. But my brother relapsed into his addictions and stole everything of value and disappeared. Then it was me fighting with the bank for 4 years, while the tenant my brother had put into the house was scamming everyone involved with him, and I had no money to evict him. Eventually there was a police raid and it turned out the guy was growing weed in the house, which the police suspected my involvement in and the electric company tried to fine me for. Then I still couldn't evict the guy, because I had no money. (the tenant never payed his rent, so I couldn't put anything aside to pay for the legal proceedings) I was eating one meal every two days at that point, while working about 100 hours a week, and my health was getting really bad. Then the bank foreclosed and I was left with nothing to show for my entire life of work. Some time after that my girlfriend I had been together with for about 15 years decided she had no confidence in me getting out of my downward spiral and broke up with me. I stopped taking up side gigs for extra money and I quit most of my jobs and my volunteer work, because what was the point anymore. Then my mother got severely ill and was sent to hospice to die peacefully, and I quit my last job to spend more time with her. She made a miraculous recovery over a couple of months, but had to get her lower legs amputated, so I helped her through all that, then she got a brain hemorrhage, with only minor damage, and during the recovery in the recovery center, she caught CoViD and died. She was the last person alive I could consider a loved one. So I think severe depression isn't totally out of the question now. Too bad therapy and medications haven't helped me so far, or maybe I'm just not noticing and they have somewhat slowed down the downward spiral and I would have been dead without them, there is no way to know.
Timing is huge in life and it sounds like you have taken one hit after another for a long time. I’m wondering if it would help to start fresh somewhere else , not that you don’t have a lot of processing and healing to do, but being physically reminded of what you have lost can sometimes make it harder to get past it. Just a thought.
I feel you... My whole life was a shitshow, I cannot tell you how it s all goint to be nice and dandy, but I can relate to your neverending shitshow of a life and telll you I trully understand you on a soul level. Hugs brother
This was me a few weeks ago. My depression made it feel like I was just existing and not living. And everywhere I went I felt like a ghost and like nothing or nobody mattered. After talking to a therapist I was able to get myself some of the help I needed and after talking to my doctor I got some antidepressants that seem to be working. It’s OK not to be OK. There’s always help out there. Don’t be afraid to reach out
I've been dealing with depression since Middle School and that was almost 2 decades ago at this point. I've been trying to take things I see from these videos and convey them to my therapist in hopes that it gets me better understanding of why my brain works the way it does. Currently sticking to that term you used Anhedonia as losing pleasure in nearly every aspect of things that once brought me joy. I'm still here and persevering for my family's sake alongside my own even if it is hard.
I appreciate your video making the distinction between ‘perceived laziness’ and depression. It’s really easy to feel like you should “get over it” from your inner thoughts let alone everyone around you telling you, too.
These videos really help me understand what may be happening to me. For the last year or so, I've been so lazy and have lost interest in a lot of things, and also find it hard to concentrate. I may try to start booking councilling appointments after seeing my symptoms in these videos, and I will try to get confirmation that I am either depressed or not. Thankyou for helping make mental health more accessible to everyone, it has really helped me
It's weird. I watch videos like this all the time and feel less alone but whenever I leave my house and experience the world I feel like everyone is looking at me with disgust. It's so hard to believe it's just a perception issue.
1:56 That one hit WAYYYY close to home. I didn't match some of the symptoms but this... this spoke to me. I just can never shake that empty feeling of dread and sadness and I can never understand why. I try to convince myself that my life is great and sometimes my brain keeps telling me I'm being ungrateful to the ppl around me and friends and stuff. But I'm just NEVER happy and I always thought it was bc of ME and i was the one being insufferable and annoying.
I’ve felt this for 14 years over 2/3rds of my life. But it’ll never go away because depression and childhood trauma have shaped who I am. If I could change I’d seek help. But in the grand scheme of things I’m not that important. And only 2 people have noticed it.
It’s not that you’re not important. It’s that you’ve been surrounded by people who don’t appreciate you. No matter who you are or how you live your life you are important. I hope things get better for you.
1. You can’t snap yourself out of it 2. You can’t cheer yourself up 3. You lost interest in everything 4. You can’t function like you used to 5. Your “laziness” isn’t triggered by anything 6. Your “laziness” isn’t a choice
I just want to clarify that even though you need help to find happiness again,you can still try to do little things by yourself, that will make at least a little different. I suffer from depression so I know its true. If you can’t go to school or work anymore it’s still important to have some kind of structure and routine in your life. for example make a list with 5 easy things to do the next day every night. For example: 1. Eat at least 3 meals a day. 2. Go for a short walk,maybe just a walk in your garden. 3. Take a shower. 4 watch your favorite movie. 5 Tell yourself 3 things you are thankful for. At the end of the day you can check of those things from the list and I promise that you will feel a bit more productive and proud of yourself!❤️❤️
@StrawberryStar Hey it's okay, don't apologise cause I know how it feels like. I'm glad you feel a bit better after opening up. After reading your story I was able to relate a lot. We are similar in many ways. Especially the being called lazy and don't know if you have depression as you're no therapist. And ofc the thoughts. I don't have any comforting words to offer but I know even if I did it wouldn't change anything right? But I hope it gets better for you my friend. Even though I don't know you I know you've been through a lot and you deserve so much better. I'll be here silently rooting for you. 😊
Thanks for the video, it fits my current situation only too well. I've been in a difficult situation for 2 months. characterized by emptiness, lack of motivation, tiredness, non-existent thirst for action, suicidal thoughts. In addition, the past haunts me and my borderline makes everything twice as difficult for me. going back to therapy soon to work escape my hometown and start a new life and master social anxiety. I've been clean from drugs and cuts for 3 years. but i could no longer withstand this corrosive and toxic pressure and have now relapsed 5 times with self-harm. 😔 sometimes I wonder if it will ever get better and I'm only 20. I'm sorry if anyone feels triggered but I have to confess somewhere and release some pressure 😭
Thank you for your videos really, they always manage to cheer me up and pinpoint my problems in the most careful and sweetly put way, you understand the pain of being constantly persecuted for something you cant control and you manage to explain and give hope at the same time, thank you really please know that at least out there you have helped somebody understand they need help and feel hope again
Most parts of the video still describe my mental state pretty well. I went to therapy for about a year, and sometimes it seemed to help me quite a bit at times. Yet, 15 years of keeping my feelings to myself seem to have been a too long period of time for me being able to heal. After suffering the deepest emotional wound of my life last year, I decided it was time for a brand new start in a completely different environment, leaving all of my emotional baggage behind. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to overcome my social awkwardness and have not been able to meet new people and make friends outside of my new co-workers and my flatmates, and most of those negative feelings are still present basically every single day... My advice to anyone who is struggeling: don't keep your feelings to yourself, talk to people you trust, and get yourself help asap if you feel hopeless and desperate. 🙏
Thank you. This video opened my eyes. After stage 4 laryngeal cancer and having my thyroid removed 4 years ago. I have slowly lost interest in everything. As of watching this video, I am 10 days in bed, only getting out to eat and use the bathroom. I find no joy in anything I used to love. And I am not old, mid 40s. To have your thyroid and voice box removed at such a young age is tough. And now being disabled with few bills I can buy literally anything for my hobbies. But I don't even use them/do them. I think multiple times daily about self deletion, but won't do that. But the thoughts are always there. I can still speak, due to prosthetic voice box, but monotone. I feel hideous and disfigured, even though I know and have been told how good looking I am. But a hole in my neck to breath through makes me feel that way. I have had maybe 3 partners since my surgery, but I wound up breaking it off because I felt I was not worthy to hold up to their standards. And they never even hinted at that. More than self isolation, self imposed loneliness as I feel I am just not worthy. I wish I could snap out of this. I am so good at hiding this that I can act happy and full of smiles. But, inside, I just want to be home laying in bed, alone. It's like I have no purpose and just waiting to die. I used to sing and love wave runners and the water. Two things I can't do anymore. Water because one mistake and I would drown in seconds. (Due to the hole in my neck I breath through and cannot close). It's even more depressing that I can only say this anonymously on TH-cam than tell anyone in my life. I am on two medications for this and panic attacks. Along with 8 other meds due to not having a thyroid. I will make an appointment tomorrow to go back to my therapist. Sometimes I just wish I had someone to talk to through all this. And even though I can speak and quite clearly that many don't know and can't tell I don't have a voice box at all (using throat muscles because I used to be a singer). I choose not to speak unless it is absolutely required. Instead choosing text and refusing to answer my phone. It's a really dark dark world right now.
Well,, im glad i watched this video.! I realized i do not have the symptoms nor suffering from those negative emotions. Yes,,sometimes i go through rough times,,,but, i have my children to think about. Thank God..!
I feel so relieved somehow to see that more awareness on this illness is spread around and shared so brilliantly. It’s painful when you’re seriously depressed and all you can do is laying on the bed, or crying for no reason all day… and those who share their life with you can still see you (and judge you) for your “laziness”. I just broke with my ex who used to tell me things like “you need to get up! Get over it and fight!” Or “all you can do is staying on the couch!”. It’s painful beyond imagination to feel ashamed of tourself for not being useful to yourself. I learnt to love myself even in those moments, though, which means I remind myself that those shall pass, too. I am patient and kind, as far as I am capable.
You live by living it depression it’s self can take over aspect of life but real fight is to live it socially even thow you not there’s at least half of you is there or if it’s get away to move pain full to be is good to engage in sport not allowing depression to take full control but half control
I've struggled for a long time, always thinking it's nothing and I just have to snap out of it (that is what my father said). Now I know it is more than that and will seek help.
I've suffered from depression for at least 5 years and I'm still relearning basic things like boundaries because I isolated myself for 2 years and ended up the last 2 years surrounding myself with people who were hurting me even though I couldn't realize it at the time. One of them was a friend that always was there to cheer me up but after some months when I was worsering she started claiming that I wasn't depressed and 'had to cheer up' and stop with overthinking (only because i was 'fine' and was able to funtion for some time). At some point I stopped trying to explain, I just nodded and agreed with all those comments and eventually she started giving me orders since I couldn't maintain proper bounderies to stop that treatment. Our friendship ended when she started accusing me of a bunch of things she couldn't even argument when I asked her why she thought that way so if it was because of a conduct in specific I'd change it?(since it was not always the solution, this was something that ended repeating for some time until I broke the friendship) At the end she was some kind of narcisistic person with a hero syndrome, even today I blame myself for a lot of things I didn't even do or they were some depressive symthoms I symply couldn't control most of the time even if I put myself togheter each time I noticed I was worsering. Anyways, now I'm much better
Almost the same situation as me since i just realize recently (usually i'm scared to comment anything but seeing someone kinda have been trought the same situation feels comforting except i never talk to anyone about this,i'm scared how they'll see me)
@@anger5729hi ^^ I hope you are better now. It's hard to cut toxic relationships (or get out of a depression) but it's always for the best. It takes some time to recover and it can be difficult to take further action if you are struggling with the way people perceive you. I can only recommend that you seek professional help ^^ I'm sure you can get out of that situation, you are very brave for expressing and sharing your situation
I have never seen something which describes me more than this video. The stressing point for me is that I’m under medication so it gives me more anxiety that I continuously think that “ok you have depression but you are under medication so you should be able to function well and if you are not, you are just being lazy.” These are some difficult moments and others don’t make it easier for me either. I was just thinking will there ever be a day which I don’t have depression? ( The voice in my head told me that probably not) but seeing this video and you telling that it can be cured made me feel better
Thanks to this video, I was diagnosed with clinical depression by my doctor. Now I can finally get help and understand wth is wrong with me. Awesome video and amazing animation.
Thank you so much! ❤️ Also, the illustrations are spot on! The one with the "depression monster" encircling the person, and covering their eyes, that got me. So well done!
This helps me to realize that I've had depression for such a long time, and I feel like it's getting worse. The lack of motivation, the feeling of things that don't taste good anymore, not having joy like I once had. Even though I'm an introvert, I should try to find someone who understands. I just feel so lost, looking for answers. I should get back into writing, that seems to be the only way, that at least helps a little bit.
I've been feeling down these weeks, this video really helped me. I feel stressed and depressed even when there's nothing to worry, and a lot of the things I find enjoyable before stopped to feel interesting. Worst of all, I can't feel any accomplishment or happiness; most of the time, I feel like there's something missing when I accomplish anything, or that it was nothing worth being happy about. Sure, video games did help me forget these issues temporarily, but once I'm back at reality, everything feels worse. Now, I still feel like there's a need to blame myself for anything, and there's no meaning to do anything. Hopefully I'll gain my motivation back soon.
you exactly mentioned everything that I am presently going through. I am an international student in the last phase of my studies where i need to submit my Thesis. I was a bright student but I am unable to work now, what so ever. I know if i fail i need to go back to my country but I am being helplessly lazy. I am just helpless and don't know what to do, this feeling of void is increasing exponential since weeks now. :(
Thank you for these videos, it helped making me feel like am not totally alone, and some people in comments helped and gave me bit of company in dark times and noway in the world i will ever be able to return the favour for all of you. Truly all of you are quality people and an achievement to have you in life.
It's difficult to not feel laziness is the issue when I can't get myself to accomplish even the simplest of tasks. Leaving my bed is so hard most days, no matter how much I try to think positively and be grateful for all I am blessed with.
As sick as this sounds, but it is a chore to shower. I have to force myself to do it. And eat? Forget about it. It's too hard to decide what to fix or to fix it. I know that others have it worse than me and I know that God has blessed me with many things and people. The things that I don't take care of and the people who I'm not sure I trust. His love I can accept. But that's about it. I just want to run away and hide- which is nothing but stupid when you are turning 60 in a few weeks. I could care less. I'd kill myself, but I promised not to harm myself. I promised Mom that. Now that she's dead, I can't even think about breaking my word (I really think about it a lot). If I even make it to heaven and have killed myself, Mom's going to chew me out. Sound silly. But that is my life. So stupid that it just doesn't matter.
@@LtRee96se I completely understand. Showering, laundry, cooking, shopping, cleaning, all of it overwhelms me and seems pointless. I too have made the promise to never self harm. That was made to my son. As much as I feel it would be a relief for him and all my family not to have to worry about or deal with me, I know the pain it causes, so I will never take that route. I try to hold out hope that things will not always be this way and will improve. That hope carries me from one day to the next. So know that you are not alone and that even though we are strangers, we are both human beings just trying to get by. I feel great compassion and empathy for your situation, and I care.💜
@@valeriestorm1867 You are so sweet. Thank you for showing me why you are a person that everyone needs. You care. I do as well. We are, after all, in this life together. God bless, sister.
It's a real problem when people misunderstand "demanding" for "helping." Inside, they're frustrated and sad because they can't help...they don't even know what to say. They don't realize that just being there is probably what you need more than anything, but that seems like a "lazy" approach to exactly the same people who'll call you lazy for not being able to just magically change how you feel. Just about everyone could benefit from therapy, but it feels like it's especially important for people with loved ones suffering from depression. They might not suffer from clinical depression, but everyone has all sorts of issues that affect them and everyone around them...some just take those issues out on the people who won't or can't push back.
I like how you are talking about the relation laziness have with depression because most people that seem lazy and not motivated probably are depressed but unfortunately most people are not gonna give you the benefit of the doubt. I've dealt with both my parents telling me I'm lazy all the time and it's so annoying and makes you feel even more alone and sometimes believe it but I'm realizing and accepting that I haven't been feelin good mentally right now and it's the reason why I seem lazy.
I deal with depression and I hate it..I just don’t feel good enough I work hard just to still struggle everyone sees my worth but me.. I thank you for these videos they help me figure out things about me that I could never figure out or even know.. 🙏🏼🖤 ✨
I’ve found that it comes in waves for me, some days it’s good and some days it’s dreadful. I love the way you explain it, it is so hard sometimes to get out of bed and sometimes I want to snap out of it but can’t. Thank you
After 5 years of deep depression just like this, I have gone from sleeping 15 hours a day to working 15 hours a day! I found a new friend and that friend gave me motivation to better my life. I'm nearly 40, and refuse to spend the rest of my life as I've lived life!. anyone struggling right now! if your overwhelmed by the steps of getting better, just take small steps and set small goals.. the achievements will come!
The fact that this happens to me a lot, connects with me so much. I have slowly lost interest in talking with everyone I used to talk, drawing and even playing games.
One time when I changed school, I couldn’t stop thinking about my friends in my old school. I even had a crush in my old school, somebody that I think might have had the same feelings for me. When I moved school, I think I suffered depression. I kept asking myself “what’s the point?”. This video was really informative and helpful, thank you so much
For the past few months I've felt so... isolated. I still live with my parents and my younger brother and yet, I feel like I'm alone, and as stupid as it sounds I sometimes feel like I'm with strangers rather than family, my own blood. I used to like cooking and drawing, I wasn't all that great but I was good and I kept improving because I enjoyed doing those things and kept doing them but now... I feel like I'm doing chores that someone else dumped on me, I cant have fun with them no matter how hard I try and I even find myself avoiding them now, not to mention I'm getting worse at doing them which doesn't help either. I tried to reach out and talk to someone but I can't because they either don't get it and think I'm being dramatic and emo or i just cant seem to be able to express myself properly, add that to the fact that I have autism and social anxiety that make communication a chore in and of itself and even so much as making eye Contact with others is frightening let alone opening up to them, I've tried "getting out there" and hanging out with others to cheer myself up like my mom and dad tell me but it just makes things worse, and I dont feel comfortable around people anymore, I can't get anything done even things that used to be fun and easy to me, and I dont have money for therapy since it costs a ton where I'm from so I really don't know what to do anymore.
Always doing or trying your best is something that only you can judge for yourself. Trying your best can be accomplishing that big goal you've been planning for months, but it can also be small like just getting out of bed in the morning. If you put in all the effort you feel comfortable to give, I am proud of you. And if you can't but want to, I am also proud of you and hope you reach it soon when life is less difficult on you. You're doing great. Keep going. Don't let anyone stop you from making your dreams come true. ❤👍
If I don't watch your videos. I would never understand myself. Thanks for helping me. I lost so much under depression, but at least now I understand myself and I can move on in my life.
It’s so difficult to describe depression to someone who’s never been there because it’s not sadness. Psychedelic are the reason why I didn't take my life when I was at my end.i was stripped of my ego and saw the beauty of life and interconnectivity
I feel the same way too. I put too much on my plate and it definitely affects my stress and anxiety level.. I am also glad to be a part of this community.
LSD and mushrooms completely changed my whole outlook on life..I became a better version of myself. This experience gave me a lot of confidence about myself and a bunch of bad thought/behaviour pattern were broken. One of these was pretty bad OCD that made me wash my hands alot..it gave me a lot of hope that things will be fine, this is the one thing that I heard throughout the trip. The main reason for the trip was my severe Depression and it definitely helped me. Before all I could do was lay in bed, now I am trying to rebuild my life one step at a time which wasn't possible before.
Psychedelic’s definitely have potential to deal with mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression, I would like to try them again but it’s just so hard to source here
I am lucky to have understanding, loving people around me however when they show affection towards me sometimes I just go into stupor and break down, crying. I try but it's really hard to give the same affection back.
I've had this numbing feeling of sadness on and off since I graduated from college in June recently, maybe even longer. At first, I honestly put it off as being anxious over not being in school for a long time. But lately, my mind starts diving to worst case scenarios more often (I.E: I won't be able to apply for graduate school, I won't get a decent job, My family will abandon me, I have no purpose for my life, I'm not moving quick enough to satisfy my mom and dad, etc.). Even more recently these past few weeks, I feel like there's a hole in my gut; sucking in any energy that I have to do anything. I feel like my mind's in a giant fog and I can't determine the route. During times like these, I begin to feel disgusted with myself and unable to keep a positive mindset. Looking at it all now, I'm not even sure how long I've had this melancholy feeling. I feel so lost in my life now, unsure of what to do for myself as a college graduate. Even when I want to try something new or continue something that caught my eye (Example: Learning to Draw, Reading more books, Doing exercise), that numbing melancholy and loneliness always reaches out into my mind to the point where I think of myself as crazy. Watching these videos make me realize that I feel so detached and loathing to myself, but I don't even know where to fix things. Whenever I think of how to, I keep picturing the people in my life abandoning me; thinking that I'm garbage even when I know they aren't like that. It's plain clear that I don't feel like I believe or trust in myself.
You are worthy ❤ and your existence is important as every living being. Just one step at a time, add one little thing that you enjoy to your routine. You deserve to be loved and you are able to love too. You will be able to do what you need to do in this existence. Seeking a therapist that involves body contact such as bio dance could help 🕉🤗
I know I have depression. I'm scared of the medicine making me dull, but I feel dull as it is. I'm already on ADD medication but i cant seem to get what I need too done. I think I do a good job of not really showing it in public, but some days I just cant get out of a mood. I dont really share this at all really. I want to open up but am afraid of being shut down or not taken very seriously. I feel like I keep digging myself further down a hole.
I'm not clinically diagnosed but these symptoms are what I am experiencing. Sometimes before going to bed, I feel so motivated to do task or to be productive for the next day, but when I wake up, I just can't get out of bed and ended up doing nothing literally the whole day. Then I will be mad at myself because I can't figure out why the hell I'm having this sudden feeling of emptiness that I can't explain. I'm so tired.
it helps to get a therapist for this. i went my whole life not getting any help and only got diagnosed recently. if you already have a therapist, you should explain these symptoms to them and they can probably help you get tested.
I dont have anyone to help me through depression. So I usually keep it to myself and let it eat me from the inside, it’s kinda tough to talk to anyone about it because it’s not a fun conversation to talk about. So I keep it to myself.
My depression has gotten worse lately. I have had no luck in getting out of it. Someone reduced my anti depressant med go 1/3 of what they should be. A week later they were back up. Since then I have been dealing with worse depression than before. I will be talking with my therapist about finding a different medication or increasing my current dose. Your videos help me maintain my self awareness of what I am going through. Now I know what to say to the medical professionals. Thank you!
Think I am depressed but whenever a new video from your channel is published, I feel great from all the tips thanks its really useful for people like us
I am an avid #MentalHealthAwareness advocate and spoken word performer, and I love this so much. I travel the country trying to bring that awareness on stages, in classrooms, hospitals, and on my TH-cam channel, so I get excited when I see other advocates. 💙❤
My mom has called me lazy recently. She knows about my severe depression. I was telling her about how i struggled to be motivated to do anything and she said, “that’s laziness señorita”.
@@heabyonred2898 oh wow very helpful lah. Also imagine liking your own comment. We need WAY more jesters in our world like you, helpful too! You are so god damn funny you changed my life. I have no words on how to complement your humour and ways to be funny. We need more people like you!!
I'm experiencing these signs everyday and the feeling only gets worse .... I tell myself I'm fine and it'll all go away in time but it's not .... I've been wanting to get professional help but it's hard to find any in my country... and for the ones that are here, they're mad expensive so even though I know that's what I need I can't get help. so I'm just stuck waiting to see how it'll all end for me😢
Hey this really helped me I realized this is the old me I feel a lot better now! Although I'm still depressed these things have lessened a lot. Thank you for this video. Still trying to find affordable help! Don't give up guys!
i can't do anything nowadays i just sit and think about how bad my life turned out, how ugly i am and things that drop kick my happiness i don't even know what i feel at this point..
In my experience, being self aware and identifying 'triggers', can help avoid being drained or crippled when certain thoughts tend to take hold. Shedding light on your shadowy self, can be very empowering.
Yes. Is not easy. But there is always light in the end of the tunnel. Just talking with someone, makes my day much easier to stand. After weeks crying and depressed, I had a wonderful day today.
Thank you. Hearing depression is highly treatable broke me, I felt my heart dropping throughout this whole video because I saw my negative thoughts/behaviors being called out for what they are, but hearing that, really gives me hope that I have a chance. Thank you.
These videos are realy good, man. I started watching this chanel recently and as a guy who's currently fighting mental issues it is very cool and recomforting to see that there are people who are willing to spread awareness on this topic. I started seeking out for help a few months ago and it has been great! Thank you psych2go for realy helping me out with this whole mental health thing.
I thought i was just lazy,thanks to this video,,I understand why I can't do the things I loved doing before....and I always think I'm useless and a burden of a family
Everyone hits this point in life so I appreciate this video. I really started questioning myself if I had gotten lazy or depressed because I wasn't familiar with either up until recent. I wasn't even sure which caused the other because it happened so fast.😳
Thhis is how I frequently feel. I particularly relate to the feeling lonely yet withdrawing from everyone and feeling like even things that I used to like doing are a chore now. And trying to do things like housework feels like an insurmountable hurdle.
I hate when people say to me "Just think more positive" or something like that it just makes me angry. The thing is currently I'm confused because it takes like 1 Year to get a therapist where I'm at and I don't even know if its just depression and maybe anxiety also. really the only thing keeping me sane is music and family/friends
I am suffering from depression. This video makes me feel understood. This channel makes me feel better and understood. I relate to all the points in the videos. I am tired and exhausted . I have lost interest in everything. I have lost motivation. I am not able to function as I used to. I feel unenergetic to do anything. I deal with it by withdrawing and isolating myself from friends family and everyone. I felt understood for the first time
I’ve been feeling empty/numb for a long time (I think it started around when I was in 7th grade and now I’m a senior) I can’t feel/express my emotions.
I totally can relate to this video especially the part where by I don’t even want to get out of bed to do anything. I suffered from depression for many years and even consult a doctor and even went to counselling sessions. It did help me for a while but now when I entered the work force I think is slowly getting back to me…but I love to come back to this channel once in a while to address and acknowledge my problems and not just leave my emotions hanging.
ive felt lazier lately and ive been wondering why if i just dont get sleep becuase my sleep schedule is bad but no matter how much sleep i get but i related to a lot of this episode

The hardest part of depression is when the people around you can be utterly insensitive. I would like a video on how to fight depression alone
same tbh
and when u tell other that you're not feeling well, they just say that you're lying about it even when you're not.
yes, its good to have that kind of video
Yeah it sucks . It’s like people ask you to open up. But when we do open up they are so fucking scared like you feel they dont wanna be around you.
Yeah I tried opening up to my friends about it last night. They just blamed me for my depression and said I was being dramatic. It just hurts so bad deep down, and I wish someone could take a chance on me
@@JamesWick99 yeah and when we take some drastic step these people will be like “wish they talked with us”
I've watched a ton of your "depression " videos and I match with every single criteria. Isolating myself from family and friends everyday, not being able to get out of bed, feeling tired even though i slept a lot, and what not. I tried to tell my parents about how I'm feeling and guess what reply I got.
"Exams are coming up. Be serious and do not use depression as an excuse to not study".
this channel is my only comfort place.
Exactly mere sath bhi yahi hua they thought I am using depression as an excuse to not being able to concentrate on studies and said "you didn't study and at the last moments since exams came up you're just making excuse nthg else" . And always gives me example of neighbors that " why didn't your frnd ever gone through depression , coz she wasn't faking depression and studying hard "
I mean wtf 😫🤯

@@illxaire I have really serve depression I know I need help but can't get it
I keep trying but it doesn’t make a difference
i think the worst part about depression is how you know what to do, you know how to do it, when where, but you just don't. it's right in front of you but the first step is almost always impossible, even for basic necessities sometimes.
ikr
It just feels as if it won't make a difference
Yep, that's called being lazy, kiddo.
@@tupakkaonhyvaa and this, children, is a prime example of how to remain a lonely virgin all your life! 🤯
@@dracodenny9 Yeah, you can summarize your future that way.
Honestly this video came at a perfect time. As of recently I’ve been feeling awful and not up to doing much of anything. Even doing the things i used to love seems more like a taxing chore than something I’d do for fun
Same
Same TnT
same
Same here it's going with me😖😣🥺
you're not alone, I feel exhausted and bored no matter what, like there's nothing to look forward to
what's hardest for me in depression is the intense physical fatigue that I feel on a daily basis when I've done nothing all day, it's downright unbearable! Especially when others don't understand that you can't take it anymore
Psych2Go has a video on the physical effects of depression. I never knew that there were so many. Look into that. It helps. It helped me a lot.
@@LtRee96se ok thank you.
@@aomineuchiwa5022 You are most welcome. Depression is a disease that drains all your energy and motivation. The simple tasks of brushing your teeth, taking a shower, and having breakfast are difficult in ways that non-depressed people don't understand. There is the over-all feeling of "It's just not worth it" about everything. Like you, I am just so tired that all I want to do is go back to bed. I am sorry you have to live with this, too. But it does help when someone understands. And, please, stay alive.
@@LtRee96se I understand very well what you mean my friend. I've been living with it for years now and it really is a constant daily struggle where the slightest relaxation can hurt you. especially since, as you say, people around you do not understand you at all, so you constantly take it upon yourself, repressing your emotions when the slightest movement is unbereable. I'm also sorry that you had to go through this. and
stay live also my friend. In the world we live in now, when you suffer from a mental illness like depression, it can be very difficult to find your own way because only people who are truly suffering like you can understand you or a mental health specialist.
we must keep fighting till the
very end and i really hope we will get rid of it.
@@aomineuchiwa5022 Even if we can't get rid of the depression, we can help others understand what they are feeling is not laziness. It is a totally real disease that has parts that are physical as well as mental/emotional. I turned 60 yesterday. I have been living with this for years. I am some what proud that I am actually still living. I have not made another attempt to kill myself for at least 10 years, maybe more. While there are still dark days, there are still good ones as well. Dear Aomine Uchiwa, I am so glad to be able to talk to you. You are a wise person and I am proud to be your friend. Please take care of yourself. Don't get angry when you feel too depressed to do something. I got really low because I was so depressed I couldn't leave my house and join friends for lunch. But they love me and they are always glad when I can go with them. If I can't one day, they never take it personally. God still blesses me and I still love Him. I maybe 'messed up' or 'not right' as some people say, but it doesn't matter. God used a donkey to speak and if He can use a donkey speaking human words, He can still use me. And maybe I can help someone else not kill themselves. Please take good care of yourself. Now, as it is 5 am where I am, I'm going to sleep. Good night, my friend.
I've suffered with severe depression for years and I've been to multiple psychiatrist's and councillors but this video is the first time I've felt understood
Wow, that's a lot. Glad this video can help you feel more understood than actual professionals.
Same
Really? You've been depressed years and this basic common sense information made you feel understood?
@@pbufh who are you to tell someone who’s struggled for years what to feel understood about ? this video brought them comfort and that’s what matters and i may i add that numbers of mental health professionals severely lack at their jobs
@@timuoxichalemei thanks for saying that
I've had it for a few years already, its mostly mild but there's some days where it gets severe and the "laziness" part is true. Most parents (including mine) see depression as laziness but don't realize that their children are silently crying out for help.
Yes, and that's the biggest misconceptions. When parents don't realize our laziness could be a symptom of something else.
For me, I’m pretty sure I have depression and my grandparents are always calling me lazy which doesn’t help anything. I talked to my grandma about me thinking I have depression but she still calls me lazy even though lack of motivation and energy is a part of depression. My grandma, at least kind of understands the severity of depression because my dad had it, and that is why he is not here today. But she just doesn’t understand all that comes along with it.
@@Kiwi-np3sy sounds very toxic :(
Same here, so you're not alone. I've had this so years. Some days are so bad that getting myself out of bed, even to use the bathroom, becomes a chore. I'm not lay at all, since I know things need to be done and want to complete tasks, but I'm really too exhausted to do them.
@@phatcat3705 I know my depression kinda just binds me to my room and it feels like it's a mental jail and I have to do stuff so I do it but I am getting weaker and weaker
I deal with depression on a regular basis. I live alone but idk if that's part of the reason. I like living alone, I love having my own space and the freedom to do what I want when I want. I love not having to consider other roommates when I do anything but I also realized that I am extremely deprived of any kind of human interaction that requires me to feel loved and nourished. Sometimes I need a hug or someone to be there and other times I don't want to be around anyone. Total contradiction I know, to want two opposing things at the same time.
That's a tough situation to be in. On one hand you want to be alone but on the other you know social interaction is what will help. Are there places you currently find the balance you need? For me, it's coffee shops. I don't have to interact with people, but I'm also not alone.
@@Psych2go The only place I go anymore is work and I have to be around people all day and by the time my shift is over I'm ready to be alone again. It's not healthy exposure becausey.job just leaves me stressed and unhappy moreso. When it's done I don't have the energy to pursue meaningful connections with others.
Ithica grey i don't think i have depression, but m quite like you too most of the time(except i don't live alone). I Don't want to be around people but too often i struggle with loneliness...
@@UnstableYT-u7k Same. I wish I have friends. I just feel so isolated from everyone. I’m going to a therapist to help me deal with it and help me resolve a lot of issues (mostly my regrets in my lack of a love life).
That’s exactly my situation. I’m home alone all day, though I love my alone time, I hate being lonely. I crave some companionship too, I just really want someone to hug me :( I never realised how badly I needed one until my colleague hugged me today :/ I’m so lonely and I hate feeling this way, it makes me so depressed.
It’s so difficult to describe depression to someone who’s never been there because it’s not sadness.
Psilocybin containing mushrooms save my life. The drastically reduced my benzodiazepine withdrawal allowing me to quite illicit pill addiction after three years of heavy daily use before it would had became medically dangerous to quit
Psychedelic’s definitely have potential to deal with mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression.
This whole thing is pretty new to me, can I try 3grams?
Does he ship?
@Ben Greg how did it go?
Is he reliable?
This is how i was feeling back in April. I was too overwhelmed by the stress of so many tests that i couldn't prepare for them properly and ended up failing FOUR subjects.
I has never risked to get held back a year until then, and i was really worried.
My parents weren't helping either, saying it was all my fault (and denying everything a few months later)
I managed to fix it during the last month of school, but it made me insanely miserable.
Tomorrow i'll start school again and i'm really worried that i'll end up like that again. I understood the importance of a positive mindset, but i'm still not that good ad keeping it
Same here...
Hey friend 👋🏻 I’m in six classes currently with a part-time job. I’ve been in school seven years total - failed an entire semester, changed my degree completely, and lost motivation during this time (if I’m honest, I have been depressed for years…).
I’m about to graduate in December & I still have the same thoughts as you, daily. There is no one way to handle them, but guess what? You don’t have to take it all on all at once & you shouldn’t! :). Break down your classes…if it’s the assignments, write them out. If it’s the test, make note of the dates & keep on top of study. But most importantly - DO NOT find yourself losing sleep, losing your temper, or losing your happiness. No, we won’t be *actively* happy because school stinks…but being so anxious that you cannot enjoy even small things like music or gaming are a big sign to take a breather.
Also! Know that you are not alone! Many of us feel this way, and as someone who was in college well before COVID I can tell you it’s become even more stressful with our sociopolitical climate (among other issues).
Hey...thanks for sharing, I hope you feel better soon, know that there is always that 1 person that loves and cares about you, and if there is no one in your immediate then I am always going to love and support you no matter what,
I know how it feels to be in that situation. I wish you the best of luck with school, and I really hope you're alright. Things are hard, especially when you have depression, but I believe you can do it, no matter how hard it really is for you 💜
"April"
its so frustrating when people dont understand that you just CANT do anything..
fr, I get so angry whenever my mom asks me to do some of the simplest things. Shower? I'll do it later. Clean my room? I'll do it tomorrow. Take out the trash? I'll do it later.
You can but it’s takes too much energy or feel too miserable to engage I wish. I was dead
Started to go on therapy - first session done, next awaits this week. I'm a bit scared because from: therapy will be 1-2x/month and after first session we went for 1x/week. Anti-depression medicament also came into a question (If I've ever had some). My therapist looked at me saying : You do have an enormous plate in front of you, do not tell yourself otherwise, it's not small or unimportant at all (I do this all the time, saying: It could always be worse... Many people got it much worse and manage a lot better than me in life etc.)... I will see what these therapies will bring out... we barely started. But your videos made me go and do something about my health- so I wanna thank you for that and for existing.
Happy to hear that you took the first step. How did you decide on your first session?
Antidepressants made me feel really good then worse than I've ever felt in my life so be careful with any big pharma whatever it may be. Effexor and wellbutrin are the 2 "anti-depressants" that almost killed me.
Hope your therapy helps you out girl🌸
u go queen
I know how it can be hard to face these demons so I’m with you ❤️
While I've always had depression, it used to be a lot more tolerable than it has been in the past couple of years. I had to move away from my ancestral home in the countryside to go to college, and live in the city, which I severely dislike. That slowed down my studies with regular bouts of just not being able to get out of bed, but I continued. Then my grandparents, who I was very close to started dying one after the other. Then my parents got a divorce, which was actually good, their marriage was terrible, but still upsetting. After that I got a severe back injury, preventing me from doing any college work because I couldn't even sit up properly for years, so I dropped out.
Then my father died, and it turns out, he had taken out some really bad mortgages when the banks were just giving out those with no oversight, so once he died the value of the farm had tanked and the bank came knocking for money. Then together with my brother we tried to save the farm and I started piling one job on top of the other to save the ancestral farm I had always wanted to return to. But my brother relapsed into his addictions and stole everything of value and disappeared.
Then it was me fighting with the bank for 4 years, while the tenant my brother had put into the house was scamming everyone involved with him, and I had no money to evict him. Eventually there was a police raid and it turned out the guy was growing weed in the house, which the police suspected my involvement in and the electric company tried to fine me for. Then I still couldn't evict the guy, because I had no money. (the tenant never payed his rent, so I couldn't put anything aside to pay for the legal proceedings) I was eating one meal every two days at that point, while working about 100 hours a week, and my health was getting really bad. Then the bank foreclosed and I was left with nothing to show for my entire life of work.
Some time after that my girlfriend I had been together with for about 15 years decided she had no confidence in me getting out of my downward spiral and broke up with me. I stopped taking up side gigs for extra money and I quit most of my jobs and my volunteer work, because what was the point anymore. Then my mother got severely ill and was sent to hospice to die peacefully, and I quit my last job to spend more time with her. She made a miraculous recovery over a couple of months, but had to get her lower legs amputated, so I helped her through all that, then she got a brain hemorrhage, with only minor damage, and during the recovery in the recovery center, she caught CoViD and died. She was the last person alive I could consider a loved one.
So I think severe depression isn't totally out of the question now. Too bad therapy and medications haven't helped me so far, or maybe I'm just not noticing and they have somewhat slowed down the downward spiral and I would have been dead without them, there is no way to know.
So hard to imagine what you went through! You are a really good human being, son and brother for your family! Love to you and God bless!
I hope you're okay. depression can really be a disgusting feeling...
That's a heavy load. You made it through and are still thriving, hang tough & ride the wave. You got this. Better days to come, God bless you.🙏
Timing is huge in life and it sounds like you have taken one hit after another for a long time. I’m wondering if it would help to start fresh somewhere else , not that you don’t have a lot of processing and healing to do, but being physically reminded of what you have lost can sometimes make it harder to get past it. Just a thought.
I feel you... My whole life was a shitshow, I cannot tell you how it s all goint to be nice and dandy, but I can relate to your neverending shitshow of a life and telll you I trully understand you on a soul level. Hugs brother
This was me a few weeks ago.
My depression made it feel like I was just existing and not living. And everywhere I went I felt like a ghost and like nothing or nobody mattered.
After talking to a therapist I was able to get myself some of the help I needed and after talking to my doctor I got some antidepressants that seem to be working.
It’s OK not to be OK. There’s always help out there. Don’t be afraid to reach out
I feel the same way and I don't know whether I would be able to get out of it or not.......
Me too
Are you still feeling this now and how did you get out of it?
I still do feel that... I'm trying to get out of it by exercising
that would be a lovely solution if therapy wasnt so darn expensive
I've been dealing with depression since Middle School and that was almost 2 decades ago at this point. I've been trying to take things I see from these videos and convey them to my therapist in hopes that it gets me better understanding of why my brain works the way it does. Currently sticking to that term you used Anhedonia as losing pleasure in nearly every aspect of things that once brought me joy. I'm still here and persevering for my family's sake alongside my own even if it is hard.
hope you'll be ok
I appreciate your video making the distinction between ‘perceived laziness’ and depression. It’s really easy to feel like you should “get over it” from your inner thoughts let alone everyone around you telling you, too.
These videos really help me understand what may be happening to me. For the last year or so, I've been so lazy and have lost interest in a lot of things, and also find it hard to concentrate. I may try to start booking councilling appointments after seeing my symptoms in these videos, and I will try to get confirmation that I am either depressed or not.
Thankyou for helping make mental health more accessible to everyone, it has really helped me
It's weird. I watch videos like this all the time and feel less alone but whenever I leave my house and experience the world I feel like everyone is looking at me with disgust. It's so hard to believe it's just a perception issue.
same...
And that feeling doesn't really help the situation. You are not alone.
1:56 That one hit WAYYYY close to home. I didn't match some of the symptoms but this... this spoke to me. I just can never shake that empty feeling of dread and sadness and I can never understand why. I try to convince myself that my life is great and sometimes my brain keeps telling me I'm being ungrateful to the ppl around me and friends and stuff. But I'm just NEVER happy and I always thought it was bc of ME and i was the one being insufferable and annoying.
Psi: “Where are the others?”
Sadness: “They left. I guess it’s just you and me now.”
This one really got me.

I’ve felt this for 14 years over 2/3rds of my life. But it’ll never go away because depression and childhood trauma have shaped who I am. If I could change I’d seek help. But in the grand scheme of things I’m not that important. And only 2 people have noticed it.
It’s not that you’re not important. It’s that you’ve been surrounded by people who don’t appreciate you. No matter who you are or how you live your life you are important. I hope things get better for you.
Thanks, but it’s a part of me now, maybe something life-changing will change me one day
@@thormckinley1264 You will find that life changing thing! Please don’t stop looking 😊
1. You can’t snap yourself out of it
2. You can’t cheer yourself up
3. You lost interest in everything
4. You can’t function like you used to
5. Your “laziness” isn’t triggered by anything
6. Your “laziness” isn’t a choice
Basically my daily life
replace cant with can and better things will happen.
@@Bricklinsv1970 it’s not that easy
@@aayvuhh For me it was. I dont speak for anyone else.
@@Bricklinsv1970 you kinda tried to tho lol
I just want to clarify that even though you need help to find happiness again,you can still try to do little things by yourself, that will make at least a little different. I suffer from depression so I know its true. If you can’t go to school or work anymore it’s still important to have some kind of structure and routine in your life. for example make a list with 5 easy things to do the next day every night. For example: 1. Eat at least 3 meals a day. 2. Go for a short walk,maybe just a walk in your garden. 3. Take a shower. 4 watch your favorite movie. 5 Tell yourself 3 things you are thankful for. At the end of the day you can check of those things from the list and I promise that you will feel a bit more productive and proud of yourself!❤️❤️
@StrawberryStar Same. I feel so ashamed of myself for not even being able to do the basics.
@StrawberryStar Hey it's okay, don't apologise cause I know how it feels like. I'm glad you feel a bit better after opening up. After reading your story I was able to relate a lot. We are similar in many ways. Especially the being called lazy and don't know if you have depression as you're no therapist. And ofc the thoughts. I don't have any comforting words to offer but I know even if I did it wouldn't change anything right? But I hope it gets better for you my friend. Even though I don't know you I know you've been through a lot and you deserve so much better. I'll be here silently rooting for you. 😊
@StrawberryStar always ❤️ and thanks ^_^
@StrawberryStar ❤️❤️❤️you are so strong! I hope you will get better soon and don’t to wait seek help!❤️
Thanks for the video, it fits my current situation only too well. I've been in a difficult situation for 2 months. characterized by emptiness, lack of motivation, tiredness, non-existent thirst for action, suicidal thoughts. In addition, the past haunts me and my borderline makes everything twice as difficult for me. going back to therapy soon to work escape my hometown and start a new life and master social anxiety. I've been clean from drugs and cuts for 3 years. but i could no longer withstand this corrosive and toxic pressure and have now relapsed 5 times with self-harm. 😔 sometimes I wonder if it will ever get better and I'm only 20. I'm sorry if anyone feels triggered but I have to confess somewhere and release some pressure 😭
Same
Same, im 19 tho
Thank you for your videos really, they always manage to cheer me up and pinpoint my problems in the most careful and sweetly put way, you understand the pain of being constantly persecuted for something you cant control and you manage to explain and give hope at the same time, thank you really please know that at least out there you have helped somebody understand they need help and feel hope again
I've been going through a really hard time , and this video just spoke out to me...i felt my condition is valid and not just an excuse I'm making
Only people who didn't come from Tiktok are worthy of liking this 🏆
Only people who don't Come from tiktok are worthy of anything
What? If people are depressed and on TikTok they aren’t worthy? My brain 📉
Yeah, because this isn't going to make people feel like shit 🙄.
@@juicypineapple6995 hope that’s sarcasm lol
Only delusional people would like this
Most parts of the video still describe my mental state pretty well.
I went to therapy for about a year, and sometimes it seemed to help me quite a bit at times. Yet, 15 years of keeping my feelings to myself seem to have been a too long period of time for me being able to heal.
After suffering the deepest emotional wound of my life last year, I decided it was time for a brand new start in a completely different environment, leaving all of my emotional baggage behind. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to overcome my social awkwardness and have not been able to meet new people and make friends outside of my new co-workers and my flatmates, and most of those negative feelings are still present basically every single day...
My advice to anyone who is struggeling: don't keep your feelings to yourself, talk to people you trust, and get yourself help asap if you feel hopeless and desperate. 🙏
Thank you.
This video opened my eyes. After stage 4 laryngeal cancer and having my thyroid removed 4 years ago. I have slowly lost interest in everything. As of watching this video, I am 10 days in bed, only getting out to eat and use the bathroom. I find no joy in anything I used to love. And I am not old, mid 40s. To have your thyroid and voice box removed at such a young age is tough. And now being disabled with few bills I can buy literally anything for my hobbies. But I don't even use them/do them. I think multiple times daily about self deletion, but won't do that. But the thoughts are always there.
I can still speak, due to prosthetic voice box, but monotone. I feel hideous and disfigured, even though I know and have been told how good looking I am. But a hole in my neck to breath through makes me feel that way. I have had maybe 3 partners since my surgery, but I wound up breaking it off because I felt I was not worthy to hold up to their standards. And they never even hinted at that.
More than self isolation, self imposed loneliness as I feel I am just not worthy.
I wish I could snap out of this. I am so good at hiding this that I can act happy and full of smiles. But, inside, I just want to be home laying in bed, alone.
It's like I have no purpose and just waiting to die.
I used to sing and love wave runners and the water. Two things I can't do anymore. Water because one mistake and I would drown in seconds. (Due to the hole in my neck I breath through and cannot close).
It's even more depressing that I can only say this anonymously on TH-cam than tell anyone in my life. I am on two medications for this and panic attacks. Along with 8 other meds due to not having a thyroid.
I will make an appointment tomorrow to go back to my therapist. Sometimes I just wish I had someone to talk to through all this. And even though I can speak and quite clearly that many don't know and can't tell I don't have a voice box at all (using throat muscles because I used to be a singer). I choose not to speak unless it is absolutely required. Instead choosing text and refusing to answer my phone.
It's a really dark dark world right now.
Well,, im glad i watched this video.! I realized i do not have the symptoms nor suffering from those negative emotions.
Yes,,sometimes i go through rough times,,,but, i have my children to think about.
Thank God..!
I feel so relieved somehow to see that more awareness on this illness is spread around and shared so brilliantly.
It’s painful when you’re seriously depressed and all you can do is laying on the bed, or crying for no reason all day… and those who share their life with you can still see you (and judge you) for your “laziness”. I just broke with my ex who used to tell me things like “you need to get up! Get over it and fight!” Or “all you can do is staying on the couch!”.
It’s painful beyond imagination to feel ashamed of tourself for not being useful to yourself.
I learnt to love myself even in those moments, though, which means I remind myself that those shall pass, too. I am patient and kind, as far as I am capable.
You live by living it depression it’s self can take over aspect of life but real fight is to live it socially even thow you not there’s at least half of you is there or if it’s get away to move pain full to be is good to engage in sport not allowing depression to take full control but half control
I've struggled for a long time, always thinking it's nothing and I just have to snap out of it (that is what my father said). Now I know it is more than that and will seek help.
I've suffered from depression for at least 5 years and I'm still relearning basic things like boundaries because I isolated myself for 2 years and ended up the last 2 years surrounding myself with people who were hurting me even though I couldn't realize it at the time.
One of them was a friend that always was there to cheer me up but after some months when I was worsering she started claiming that I wasn't depressed and 'had to cheer up' and stop with overthinking (only because i was 'fine' and was able to funtion for some time). At some point I stopped trying to explain, I just nodded and agreed with all those comments and eventually she started giving me orders since I couldn't maintain proper bounderies to stop that treatment. Our friendship ended when she started accusing me of a bunch of things she couldn't even argument when I asked her why she thought that way so if it was because of a conduct in specific I'd change it?(since it was not always the solution, this was something that ended repeating for some time until I broke the friendship) At the end she was some kind of narcisistic person with a hero syndrome, even today I blame myself for a lot of things I didn't even do or they were some depressive symthoms I symply couldn't control most of the time even if I put myself togheter each time I noticed I was worsering.
Anyways, now I'm much better
U got this king 🫡
go to the gym
Almost the same situation as me since i just realize recently (usually i'm scared to comment anything but seeing someone kinda have been trought the same situation feels comforting except i never talk to anyone about this,i'm scared how they'll see me)
@@anger5729hi ^^ I hope you are better now. It's hard to cut toxic relationships (or get out of a depression) but it's always for the best. It takes some time to recover and it can be difficult to take further action if you are struggling with the way people perceive you. I can only recommend that you seek professional help ^^ I'm sure you can get out of that situation, you are very brave for expressing and sharing your situation
This channel just really gets me, this channel has become a lot for me.
I have never seen something which describes me more than this video. The stressing point for me is that I’m under medication so it gives me more anxiety that I continuously think that “ok you have depression but you are under medication so you should be able to function well and if you are not, you are just being lazy.” These are some difficult moments and others don’t make it easier for me either.
I was just thinking will there ever be a day which I don’t have depression? ( The voice in my head told me that probably not) but seeing this video and you telling that it can be cured made me feel better
Thanks to this video, I was diagnosed with clinical depression by my doctor. Now I can finally get help and understand wth is wrong with me. Awesome video and amazing animation.
Sending my best thoughts to all of you out there who are struggling.
Thank you so much! ❤️ Also, the illustrations are spot on! The one with the "depression monster" encircling the person, and covering their eyes, that got me. So well done!
This helps me to realize that I've had depression for such a long time, and I feel like it's getting worse. The lack of motivation, the feeling of things that don't taste good anymore, not having joy like I once had. Even though I'm an introvert, I should try to find someone who understands. I just feel so lost, looking for answers. I should get back into writing, that seems to be the only way, that at least helps a little bit.
your voice is so beautiful 😭 its so weird having this and looking at it from this angle, it makes no sense but yo..
I've been feeling down these weeks, this video really helped me. I feel stressed and depressed even when there's nothing to worry, and a lot of the things I find enjoyable before stopped to feel interesting. Worst of all, I can't feel any accomplishment or happiness; most of the time, I feel like there's something missing when I accomplish anything, or that it was nothing worth being happy about. Sure, video games did help me forget these issues temporarily, but once I'm back at reality, everything feels worse. Now, I still feel like there's a need to blame myself for anything, and there's no meaning to do anything. Hopefully I'll gain my motivation back soon.
Thank you - Good to know but some don't care to understand or listen 💔
you exactly mentioned everything that I am presently going through. I am an international student in the last phase of my studies where i need to submit my Thesis. I was a bright student but I am unable to work now, what so ever. I know if i fail i need to go back to my country but I am being helplessly lazy. I am just helpless and don't know what to do, this feeling of void is increasing exponential since weeks now. :(
Same
Thank you for these videos, it helped making me feel like am not totally alone, and some people in comments helped and gave me bit of company in dark times and noway in the world i will ever be able to return the favour for all of you. Truly all of you are quality people and an achievement to have you in life.
I can relate I'm slow functioning sometimes I feel lonely and want friends but also want to be alone and look at my phone a lot of times
When im depressed, i find that trying to cheer myself up only makes me cry more
It's difficult to not feel laziness is the issue when I can't get myself to accomplish even the simplest of tasks. Leaving my bed is so hard most days, no matter how much I try to think positively and be grateful for all I am blessed with.
As sick as this sounds, but it is a chore to shower. I have to force myself to do it. And eat? Forget about it. It's too hard to decide what to fix or to fix it. I know that others have it worse than me and I know that God has blessed me with many things and people. The things that I don't take care of and the people who I'm not sure I trust. His love I can accept. But that's about it. I just want to run away and hide- which is nothing but stupid when you are turning 60 in a few weeks. I could care less. I'd kill myself, but I promised not to harm myself. I promised Mom that. Now that she's dead, I can't even think about breaking my word (I really think about it a lot). If I even make it to heaven and have killed myself, Mom's going to chew me out. Sound silly. But that is my life. So stupid that it just doesn't matter.
@@LtRee96se I completely understand. Showering, laundry, cooking, shopping, cleaning, all of it overwhelms me and seems pointless. I too have made the promise to never self harm. That was made to my son. As much as I feel it would be a relief for him and all my family not to have to worry about or deal with me, I know the pain it causes, so I will never take that route. I try to hold out hope that things will not always be this way and will improve. That hope carries me from one day to the next.
So know that you are not alone and that even though we are strangers, we are both human beings just trying to get by. I feel great compassion and empathy for your situation, and I care.💜
@@valeriestorm1867 You are so sweet. Thank you for showing me why you are a person that everyone needs. You care. I do as well. We are, after all, in this life together. God bless, sister.
@@LtRee96se Blessings to you too. We indeed are in this together. 💜🙏
you inspired me to create this channel, thank you!
It's a real problem when people misunderstand "demanding" for "helping." Inside, they're frustrated and sad because they can't help...they don't even know what to say. They don't realize that just being there is probably what you need more than anything, but that seems like a "lazy" approach to exactly the same people who'll call you lazy for not being able to just magically change how you feel. Just about everyone could benefit from therapy, but it feels like it's especially important for people with loved ones suffering from depression. They might not suffer from clinical depression, but everyone has all sorts of issues that affect them and everyone around them...some just take those issues out on the people who won't or can't push back.
I like how you are talking about the relation laziness have with depression because most people that seem lazy and not motivated probably are depressed but unfortunately most people are not gonna give you the benefit of the doubt. I've dealt with both my parents telling me I'm lazy all the time and it's so annoying and makes you feel even more alone and sometimes believe it but I'm realizing and accepting that I haven't been feelin good mentally right now and it's the reason why I seem lazy.
I deal with depression and I hate it..I just don’t feel good enough I work hard just to still struggle everyone sees my worth but me.. I thank you for these videos they help me figure out things about me that I could never figure out or even know.. 🙏🏼🖤 ✨
I’ve found that it comes in waves for me, some days it’s good and some days it’s dreadful. I love the way you explain it, it is so hard sometimes to get out of bed and sometimes I want to snap out of it but can’t. Thank you
After 5 years of deep depression just like this, I have gone from sleeping 15 hours a day to working 15 hours a day! I found a new friend and that friend gave me motivation to better my life. I'm nearly 40, and refuse to spend the rest of my life as I've lived life!. anyone struggling right now! if your overwhelmed by the steps of getting better, just take small steps and set small goals.. the achievements will come!
This is extremely validating.
Thank you for this video.
The fact that this happens to me a lot, connects with me so much.
I have slowly lost interest in talking with everyone I used to talk, drawing and even playing games.
me too :(( i still play games sometimes tho
love the way how it's animated.🖤thanks!
One time when I changed school, I couldn’t stop thinking about my friends in my old school. I even had a crush in my old school, somebody that I think might have had the same feelings for me. When I moved school, I think I suffered depression. I kept asking myself “what’s the point?”. This video was really informative and helpful, thank you so much
For the past few months I've felt so... isolated.
I still live with my parents and my younger brother and yet, I feel like I'm alone, and as stupid as it sounds I sometimes feel like I'm with strangers rather than family, my own blood.
I used to like cooking and drawing, I wasn't all that great but I was good and I kept improving because I enjoyed doing those things and kept doing them but now... I feel like I'm doing chores that someone else dumped on me, I cant have fun with them no matter how hard I try and I even find myself avoiding them now, not to mention I'm getting worse at doing them which doesn't help either.
I tried to reach out and talk to someone but I can't because they either don't get it and think I'm being dramatic and emo or i just cant seem to be able to express myself properly, add that to the fact that I have autism and social anxiety that make communication a chore in and of itself and even so much as making eye Contact with others is frightening let alone opening up to them, I've tried "getting out there" and hanging out with others to cheer myself up like my mom and dad tell me but it just makes things worse, and I dont feel comfortable around people anymore, I can't get anything done even things that used to be fun and easy to me, and I dont have money for therapy since it costs a ton where I'm from so I really don't know what to do anymore.
@Eric Dupuis thanks man hope you get better too
@Eric Dupuis ✋❤
This just came for me ..... exactly matches to my current situation 🥺😣😖
Always doing or trying your best is something that only you can judge for yourself. Trying your best can be accomplishing that big goal you've been planning for months, but it can also be small like just getting out of bed in the morning. If you put in all the effort you feel comfortable to give, I am proud of you. And if you can't but want to, I am also proud of you and hope you reach it soon when life is less difficult on you. You're doing great. Keep going. Don't let anyone stop you from making your dreams come true. ❤👍
If I don't watch your videos. I would never understand myself. Thanks for helping me. I lost so much under depression, but at least now I understand myself and I can move on in my life.
Aww. Happy to hear that the videos can help you feel heard. This means a lot to us!
It’s so difficult to describe depression to someone who’s never been there because it’s not sadness. Psychedelic are the reason why I didn't take my life when I was at my end.i was stripped of my ego and saw the beauty of life and interconnectivity
I feel the same way too. I put too much on my plate and it definitely affects my stress and anxiety level.. I am also glad to be a part of this community.
LSD and mushrooms completely changed my whole outlook on life..I became a better version of myself.
This experience gave me a lot of confidence about myself and a bunch of bad thought/behaviour pattern were broken. One of these was pretty bad OCD that made me wash my hands alot..it gave me a lot of hope that things will be fine, this is the one thing that I heard throughout the trip. The main reason for the trip was my severe Depression and it definitely helped me. Before all I could do was lay in bed, now I am trying to rebuild my life one step at a time which wasn't possible before.
Psychedelic’s definitely have potential to deal with mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression, I would like to try them again but it’s just so hard to source here
I am lucky to have understanding, loving people around me however when they show affection towards me sometimes I just go into stupor and break down, crying. I try but it's really hard to give the same affection back.
I've had this numbing feeling of sadness on and off since I graduated from college in June recently, maybe even longer. At first, I honestly put it off as being anxious over not being in school for a long time. But lately, my mind starts diving to worst case scenarios more often (I.E: I won't be able to apply for graduate school, I won't get a decent job, My family will abandon me, I have no purpose for my life, I'm not moving quick enough to satisfy my mom and dad, etc.).
Even more recently these past few weeks, I feel like there's a hole in my gut; sucking in any energy that I have to do anything. I feel like my mind's in a giant fog and I can't determine the route.
During times like these, I begin to feel disgusted with myself and unable to keep a positive mindset. Looking at it all now, I'm not even sure how long I've had this melancholy feeling.
I feel so lost in my life now, unsure of what to do for myself as a college graduate. Even when I want to try something new or continue something that caught my eye (Example: Learning to Draw, Reading more books, Doing exercise), that numbing melancholy and loneliness always reaches out into my mind to the point where I think of myself as crazy.
Watching these videos make me realize that I feel so detached and loathing to myself, but I don't even know where to fix things. Whenever I think of how to, I keep picturing the people in my life abandoning me; thinking that I'm garbage even when I know they aren't like that. It's plain clear that I don't feel like I believe or trust in myself.
You are worthy ❤ and your existence is important as every living being. Just one step at a time, add one little thing that you enjoy to your routine. You deserve to be loved and you are able to love too. You will be able to do what you need to do in this existence. Seeking a therapist that involves body contact such as bio dance could help 🕉🤗
I know I have depression. I'm scared of the medicine making me dull, but I feel dull as it is. I'm already on ADD medication but i cant seem to get what I need too done. I think I do a good job of not really showing it in public, but some days I just cant get out of a mood. I dont really share this at all really. I want to open up but am afraid of being shut down or not taken very seriously. I feel like I keep digging myself further down a hole.
I'm so sorry to hear all that.. hope you'll be alright
You guys post at just the right times.
I'm not clinically diagnosed but these symptoms are what I am experiencing. Sometimes before going to bed, I feel so motivated to do task or to be productive for the next day, but when I wake up, I just can't get out of bed and ended up doing nothing literally the whole day. Then I will be mad at myself because I can't figure out why the hell I'm having this sudden feeling of emptiness that I can't explain.
I'm so tired.
it helps to get a therapist for this. i went my whole life not getting any help and only got diagnosed recently. if you already have a therapist, you should explain these symptoms to them and they can probably help you get tested.
I dont have anyone to help me through depression. So I usually keep it to myself and let it eat me from the inside, it’s kinda tough to talk to anyone about it because it’s not a fun conversation to talk about. So I keep it to myself.
Can you also make some videos that give us some advice or simple solutions to overcome or make the situation a bit better? Thankyou.
My depression has gotten worse lately. I have had no luck in getting out of it. Someone reduced my anti depressant med go 1/3 of what they should be. A week later they were back up. Since then I have been dealing with worse depression than before. I will be talking with my therapist about finding a different medication or increasing my current dose. Your videos help me maintain my self awareness of what I am going through. Now I know what to say to the medical professionals. Thank you!
Think I am depressed but whenever a new video from your channel is published, I feel great from all the tips thanks its really useful for people like us
Aww. That's so sweet. Thanks for the kind words!

Glad this video has clarified that I really am just lazy and just have a computer addiction.
Hey this really helped me I realized this is the old me I feel a lot better now! Although I'm still depressed these things have lessened a lot. Thank you for this video. Still trying to find affordable help! Don't give up guys!
i can't do anything nowadays i just sit and think about how bad my life turned out, how ugly i am and things that drop kick my happiness i don't even know what i feel at this point..
I like to watch your videos when I’m feeling sad or more depressed than usual, especially your calming voice makes me feel at least a bit better
In my experience, being self aware and identifying 'triggers', can help avoid being drained or crippled when certain thoughts tend to take hold. Shedding light on your shadowy self, can be very empowering.
Yes. Is not easy. But there is always light in the end of the tunnel.
Just talking with someone, makes my day much easier to stand. After weeks crying and depressed, I had a wonderful day today.
I experience everything in this vid everyday thank you for showing me this
Thank you. Hearing depression is highly treatable broke me, I felt my heart dropping throughout this whole video because I saw my negative thoughts/behaviors being called out for what they are, but hearing that, really gives me hope that I have a chance. Thank you.
you are not the target demographic for this video
Just got my exam results today,i failed ,feeling really sad 😭😢😢
It's ok, cheer up!! You will have another chance to improve next time for sure! Sending hugs:)🤍
These videos are realy good, man. I started watching this chanel recently and as a guy who's currently fighting mental issues it is very cool and recomforting to see that there are people who are willing to spread awareness on this topic. I started seeking out for help a few months ago and it has been great! Thank you psych2go for realy helping me out with this whole mental health thing.
I thought i was just lazy,thanks to this video,,I understand why I can't do the things I loved doing before....and I always think I'm useless and a burden of a family
Everyone hits this point in life so I appreciate this video. I really started questioning myself if I had gotten lazy or depressed because I wasn't familiar with either up until recent. I wasn't even sure which caused the other because it happened so fast.😳
How many depressed people are watching this video here 😭?
Thhis is how I frequently feel. I particularly relate to the feeling lonely yet withdrawing from everyone and feeling like even things that I used to like doing are a chore now. And trying to do things like housework feels like an insurmountable hurdle.
I hate when people say to me "Just think more positive" or something like that it just makes me angry. The thing is currently I'm confused because it takes like 1 Year to get a therapist where I'm at and I don't even know if its just depression and maybe anxiety also. really the only thing keeping me sane is music and family/friends
Jesus loves you He can be your therapist any time of day
When I say I’m trying snap out of it they say that I can’t snap out of it if I don’t even try and accuse me of not trying when I really am
This. It's really hard when people who have never experienced depression can't understand what others go through.
I understand what you are saying. Unless someone has been there, they don't have the ability to understand.
I am suffering from depression. This video makes me feel understood. This channel makes me feel better and understood. I relate to all the points in the videos. I am tired and exhausted . I have lost interest in everything. I have lost motivation. I am not able to function as I used to. I feel unenergetic to do anything. I deal with it by withdrawing and isolating myself from friends family and everyone. I felt understood for the first time
I’ve been feeling empty/numb for a long time (I think it started around when I was in 7th grade and now I’m a senior) I can’t feel/express my emotions.
I totally can relate to this video especially the part where by I don’t even want to get out of bed to do anything. I suffered from depression for many years and even consult a doctor and even went to counselling sessions. It did help me for a while but now when I entered the work force I think is slowly getting back to me…but I love to come back to this channel once in a while to address and acknowledge my problems and not just leave my emotions hanging.
If you are reading this, I hope you are doing well. Don't give up.
This is so helpful 🥺. thanks for sharing😍
Im not depressed but my all days r mostly like this im sad from inside but i dont show it.
Same i domt even knoe my self
The "I just can't" made my eyes sweat like alot
ive felt lazier lately and ive been wondering why if i just dont get sleep becuase my sleep schedule is bad but no matter how much sleep i get but i related to a lot of this episode
It's pretty damn annoying. The constant ache and drained feeling. Very tiring.
