There's a difference between being clinically depressed, and feeling depressed. What advice would you share with someone who's feeling depressed? Comment below what helped.
First figure out why as the reasons can be hard to find, maybe is an especific thing or a mix of them. Also in my case I always wait till I feel better to try and change my mentality or my life because I can't if I'm depressed. Being alone and listening to music helps me think until I feel better
Know that you are loved! And you can do it! At your own pace! God loves you more than you can know, he gave his son for us, and you. He loves and keeps you safe. Take this time that your feeling down at your own pace, make sure your not stressing about making friends, even just saying hi is and can be such a great step! Love you all❤️

@@JC-no1jy I feel like this, too. But I have severe depression. Psych2Go is only trying to help. No their fault that I feel crappy. Hope you feel better soon.
Food For Thought: That’s the thing about depression: A human being can survive almost anything, as long as he/she sees the end in sight. But depression is so insidious, and it compounds daily, that it’s impossible to ever see the end.
That's actually very well said. I would add that a human being can survive almost anything if they know they are not alone. But, the loneliness associated with depression, or vice-versa, can make you feel so isolated that you honestly believe that no one sees or cares.
“People who have never dealt with depression think it’s just being sad or being in a bad mood. That’s not what depression is for me; it’s falling into a state of grayness and numbness.” - Dan Reynolds
As someone diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety a year and a half back who went to multiple psychiatrists, and was suicidal for almost 2 months, i can say that your videos help more than professionals. I don't know if its because of your soothing voice or that you actually relate to the issues in depression rather than taking it as a career and a source of income. Thank you so much. 🙇🏻♂️
Bro I advice to consult a psychologist also, along with psychiatrist medications.. it'll really helpful.. I have being in 14 years of severe depression and anxiety. For those 14 years, couple of years ago I started to consult with psychologist.. I'm happy to say, that I have reduced almost lot of severity and depression period time after that.. but that also not enough, you have to identify yourself mainly.. hope this will help..
I'm proud of you for being able to voice how you feel. I, also, have severe depression and the other things you spoke of. We, the depressed, need to band together. No one can truly understand depression like a depressed person. I am very glad that you are seeking help. There are times when a person just can't walk this road of life alone. Take care of yourself. I care about you.
I was told for months by many people I believed to be my friends that I could never get better. And even my (now ex) boyfriend said things like "you're not trying hard enough" or "you aren't even trying" while I was battling severe anxiety and depression... I felt abandoned by the people who were supposed to be there when I needed them... But using the things from your videos, I was able to take to take that step outside, get a fresh perspective on my thoughts and for the first time in years I can proudly say that I am happy... And I want to thank you for everything that you do, your channel saves so many lives and I am so Grateful that I stumbled across this...
i relate to you. my mother is the closest person to me, and i love her very much, but it was so painful to hear that she thinks i’m just lazy, that i’m pretending and my illness (which she doesn’t believe i have) is only in my head and i’m making everything up. just yesterday after hearing all of that i lost all of my will to live, because i felt so alone in the world where no one understands and believes me, not even those closest to me, so i decided to just stop eating and drinking, and die from dehydration. i lasted for two days (and i heard that you only need 3 days without water to die), then was talked out of it. today i heard all things from yesterday again, so i cut my wrists, but was talked out of it again, she said she loved me and all of that, but she still thinks all those things about me. i started to eat and drink again, but i’m not feeling too great right now, as everything seems meaningless and i don’t want to wake up tomorrow, despite the fact that i’ve started taking my meds again. maybe they just haven’t had time to work yet, or maybe i’m just tired, since i’ve cried a lot the past few days, idk. so yeah, it’s been stressful
@@Pain_Ito I am sorry you have to go through this with so little support. Please don't hurt yourself or kill yourself! Dear Pain Ito, there are easier ways to get attention. That tells me that you are really in some trouble now. Is there anyone you can talk to? Someone who can help you find a way out of this depression? Are you in school and do they have counselors? Is there a member of your family that does support you and believe that you are depressed? You need someone close to you to care about you. Dear Pain Ito, I care. I really do. I have had my share of suicide attempts and cutting. While I don't know exactly what the problem is, I can tell you that you are not alone. Please, reach out to the Psych2Go community here. We care and want to do what we can to help you. I'm almost always online in my country at night (Texas USA 10pm to about 3 am). I don't know where you are. But I am here for you.

I think it helped but when I watched it I started to think about everything that happens everyday and what if you do all of those things and you still feel depressed
@@Kutomi1 , yeah the proverbial light at the end of the day. As Kendrick Lamar sang, “We Gon be alright. Do you hear me, do you feel me? We gon be alright. ”
@@Kutomi1 Don't say that we are all going to make it. It sounds nice but it's just not true either. We who want to make it, will make it. The rest of us will die a slow and excruciating mental (and then physical) death. Look at the statistics. We who make it have to fight hard every single day of our lives and there never seems to be a day where anything comes naturally, or easy. Some of us will live, and some of us will die. That is a fact and life does not get any easier for denying the facts. Life is all about attitude, I'll give you that.
@@evanpaluch6190 Well yeah, of course. You're not gonna overcome anything if you don't try. But everyone has the chance to try and keep trying, it's our choice. A lot of people just need some encouragement to believe that they can try. Positivity does at least help a little.
I’ve struggled with depression for a few years now, and even though I’m doing a lot better, this is still really helpful for my off days. I just want to say how touched I was at the end when you seemed genuinely choked up about the subject. I can tell how much you care about the mental health of your viewers. Remember, guys, it’s the little things that are going to get you through this, so just take it one step at a time and stay safe ❤️
Thanks for this…. After failing college math for the 5th time trying to get my associates degree for Graphic Design I’ve just felt defeated because of how close I was to finally being done with college only to fail graduating alongside my friends because of math. Failing the math class by 1% didn’t help much either. It broke me… because I spent nearly $2000 alone trying to pass math over the years. Every other general class I overcame, but Math has always been my weakness. Thankfully the advisor came through, and offered an alternative Math I don’t have to waste money on. Given all the mental stress I’ve dealt with over the years with college I’m taking a break to gather myself and then finally be done with the godforsaken thorn in my side that’s been Math. Videos like this build me back up and offer helpful advice, and I can’t thank you enough for what you’ve done over the years. Wish you all the best, and hope this video helps others.
I failed college algebra 3 times. I had to pass it to get my Bachelor's degree. I decided to take the class as a pass/fail so that it wouldn't hurt my grade point. I passed it and my teacher asked why I took it as a pass/fail. When I told her that math was my weak subject, she was shocked. She then told me that I was great at math, I just had bad teachers. Now that you are taking a bit of time off, go online and work on your math skills. You can do this. You really can, you just had poor teachers.
I am someone who has tried healing. I'm in boarding school, something that limits my access to self care facilities. I've been making so much progress lately but sometimes I get these periods of overwhelming sadness and I get worried that I'm slipping. To anyone going through this, you are not slipping! Setbacks happen time and time but that only proves how human you are. Take a step back, relax a little and figure out what went wrong. If I, the weakest mf has been able to push through all these months, you definitely can! :)
You may describe yourself as someone who is weak, but, it would be a fallacy to say it in the superlative, as you do not and cannot know whether you truly are for a fact the weakest member amongst all in this category of people. Moreover, you surely cannot be weak if you kept on persistently plodding through your plight in spirit of fortitude and perseverance, because you definitely would have had surrendered a long while ago if it were to happen that you truly had been a weak individual. For he who is truly weak would not show any ability to survive even the gentlest of battles, nor endure the mildest storms.
I've been fighting depression and anxiety from my foot surgery. My insurance was dropped at the same time I was supposed to start physical therapy, so I've been trying to handle therapy on my own. I've reached a dead-end where I know I'm trying, but I feel like I'm not getting any closer to being able to work on my feet again. It is so hard not to give up. I've found that talking to friends helps. Before I say this, just know I'm talking about my personal experiences and not saying everyone needs to do this, but I started going to church and that was my saving grace to keep me motivated. It doesn't have to be church. Find something fun to do with others and it'll help.
Remarkable person reading this.. It’s going to get better; all it is a season of opportunity to grow and be better than before. Challenging times are meant to strengthen us, not to break us. Success doesn’t define to what happened to us; it is how we choose to deal with our circumstances. The more you grow and develop as an incredible person as you are, the more things will change for the better. Forgive more (for you), be grateful for even the smallest things (we have it way better than someone else), choose love over ego, choose humility over ego (humility is strength), and finally, invest into new skills so that your future self will thank you. Our lives will change forever the more we grow. Be thankful for the challenges for we know something greater is coming. Love you always - Nathalie ✨❤️
These suggestions and even the thoughts, make me even more clear on how helplessly things are going to end. I think I need help. I would love to somehow send you my story, and I do find writing as the only positive outlet I have left, just to tell someone at least what has happened and how I'm struggling to handle waking up every day. I don't have anyone else that I can confide in about these things.
The people here in the comments are usually kind to each other as we realized that we are the depressed, traumatized, screwed-up (sorry that one is me)people who Psych2Go is talking to. Most of us are walking the same version of each other's road. So, you are safe here. Be cautious, but we will encourage you and care for you.
Im pretty sure everyone will love you! U just need to be confident of who you are. Coming from someone who passed school quite good even tho I am anxiously awkward, all u need to do is select the people u feel comfortable with and not feel that y need to be selected. Take ur time in choosing ur people and Im sure you will be okay ❤
Being able to get out of bed is an accomplishment… I start with that! Once I get up putting myself on a routine certainly helps! Then my mind gets surrounded with my routine I forget about the anxiety/depression! I know for some it may not be that easy… but try it you might like it!
truthfully today is the happiest I've felt for a long time, despite spending most of it coughing my lungs out (from a cold) and thinking about my own mortality I'm not sure why, but I just felt better than normal. Nobody bothered me, I didn't belittle myself for something minor, I didn't get harassed by my brain with a flashback to something cringe I did in kindergarten. All around pretty positive time
Wow! I dealt with depression for ten years, without professional help, and did practically all of this. It's mostly the fight in me, that I've never lost, that lead me to naturally gravitate towards these activities. Wow, this just makes me even more proud of myself.
My thinking was,"there's people that care about you. Are you gonna let this beat you, or are you gonna beat it? Fight those dark thoughts. What do you need to do to help yourself fight them? Do this. Do that. Do you feel better? Yes. Push on. You can beat it." More or less. I could possibly add more, but I think that pretty well sums it up. I just did my best to constantly try to find the positive, and to just be more positive, but guarded, and now I'm an extremely happy pragmatic optimist, like as of around a week and a half ago. Also, I did my best to not be negative towards others. I still struggle with that a bit, but I'm working on it, and am about to actually start going to therapy with my wife. We both need it, and at this point she needs it more than I do. A lot of things have fell into proper place for me, and I'm in a great place in my mind. She is still a very negative thinker, and that disheartens me immensely. I've been part of the problem, too. I still have a lot of work to do on myself, and I'm not gonna quit trying to improve myself in some way, for the good of not only myself, but others around me. Hell, I love other people too much. I have a lot of love and empathy. I've been a natural empath for my entire life, and have actually learned how to control it pretty well, thankfully. Now if I could just QUIT NICOTINE! AAAAAH! 😆😅 That day is GOING to come!
Oh, it's actually been several years since I've dealt with actual depression. I've had other bad stuff to work out, as well. Most of it is completely gone, and the feeling of freedom is amazingly overwhelming, and I love it. Break those chains folks! It's possible! I believe in you! Fight that nastiness! Those bad thoughts aren't you. They're lies you're telling yourself. You have worth. You are loved by someone. Hell, I don't even know you, and I have a modicum of love for you. There's so much more I could say, but I'll stop there for now. Oh, I've also studied psychology on my own to try to figure out why think the way I do, and that has helped a LOT. It has helped me to not only know myself better, but to understand others better. A good understanding goes a very long way.
As a psychology student I truly appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos. I hope to become a therapist one day to help people struggling with mental health just like your channel has been doing for years now. ❤❤
I had a hard depression last fall. I think im over it, I often fall back into that time and can't stand up anymore, can't eat or brush my teeth. But I finally don't have to take pills anymore. Those Pills were like drugs. It still hurts to see people who are self-diagnosed or making online quizzes if they have depression. If u feel depressed or down its okay. But you dint have depression. Much Love to people who are in or over it
Can you please talk about the psychology of children who grew up during a war. Please💔 And thanks for this beautiful channel I really like your voice❤️
Vid #2 of trying to request a video highlighting the following topics: 1. What you can do if you can't access therapy. 2. Signs your therapist might be harming rather then helping your mental health. 3. What to do in life situations that a therapist cannot fix.
I've had depression for years and at this point I just feel hopeless. Like nothing I do will ever work out. I no longer find joy in life. I can no longer properly engage in a conversation with people. I see no future for myself. Like how can I get a job if I can't talk to anyone? I mean it, it just gets worse every time I try
I can't imagine living in a large city, where stepping outside means onto a busy street lined with tall concrete structures and thousands of people scrambling about. What a nightmare!
Hey everyone! I have anxiety and depression for a while and i feel like i started to overcome it. Read this if you think it might help: I am taking therapy for years now but i am seeing a physchiatrist for three monts and i am taking pills for 3 months. Before these three months, i didn't see any point to get out of bed, i didn't see any point why do i exist. I am a college student and i had physical classes 3 days of week. 2 days of online classes. When i went to school, i avoided my friends and professors. I tried to talk to them but when i get back home, i had anxiety attacks. That's when my therapist thought i should take extra help. I thought i was trying to get better but i now realized, i was just fooling myself. I started to take pills but i didn't believe it would work because i still felt like i would overcome this dungeon in my mind. It become so bad, that i couldn't take it anymore. I think that's when i really wanted to get better. Since then, i am trying to sleep at night(my sleeping schedule is horrible), i try to see the sun, i look around more. I try to appreciate life. I take some summer classes and i need to go school twice a week. I made a friend there. Not just someone to say hello to. I decided to not hate myself. I don't want to see this girl. I want to see a confident woman who impresses everyone. So i started to make more effort for my self care. I feel better with these thoughts. I am not 100% cured but at least i can see an improvement, a light end of the tunnel. I'm not saying if you do these things you will feel better too. One of the other things was to read comments under these videos and how people change their situation. Maybe this might help you too. Much love and hugs to everyone ♡♡
Thank you so much for the message at the end, I really needed somebody to tell me that face to face, even if it wasn’t really in person- it felt so personal I started to cry I’ve been going through a really deep depression during the summer and today and yesterday we’re just days I decided I didn’t want to do anything and just not come out of my room for anything- thank you, truly.
For the first time ever since I am watching your chanel I had a feeling like that episode was made especially for such a person like me. I remember ,that lately when I was feeling super bad about myself and my life I've asked you to make an episode like that. Thank you so much! AND you made me aware, that in some very small ways I am fighting for myself already, but I was not aware of it and even when I was, I,m forgetting it so often while feeling bad. Anyway I appreciate A LOT your kindness here and time spent to record this.
Thank you so, so much. Especially for that last note. It brought me to tears because I am the kind of person that feels that they're disappointing to themselves and others because I just can't seem do the smallest thing to take care of myself. And I really appreciate, truly, the fact of y'all taking the time to create such positive content and again, especially that note at the end. To others not suffering from the same mental conditions these acts may seem like nothing. But as you said, most of the time these little things are no small feat. Thank you 🤍❤️🤍 Sending Love, prayers and positivity to everyone out there hurting this way. You will make it 🤍❤️🤍
I just got diagnosed with anxiety and depression last week. This video is a huge help with dealing with the thoughts I’ve been experiencing for so many years. Thank you for your content :)
Finally finished the video, and had to stop and cry for five minutes. Thank you, thank you so much. I've saved this video so I can look into your eyes and hear your words of love and compassion every time I feel alone and helpless. Bright Blessing on you, you beautiful soul 💚💚
Being depressed is a huge struggle for people like me. I was depressed and lonely for 3 years now and no good things never happened to me for once. Nothing. I do have families and friends that I always care about honestly. But there is one special puzzle piece that I need in my life which is still out there for me and it's really hard to find. Most artists, gamers and everyone else has one but not me. it's just not fair these days for me. They have a special puzzle piece in their life everyday but not me. I still don't know what the last puzzle piece means for me and trying to solve it. Right now, nothing turn up for me yet. I'm just a unhappy artist and gamer online who is trying to do better for myself and still trying so hard to do so. No good things never happened to me when your lonely. I wish I shouldn't exist in this dimension.😞
I'm clinically diagnosed with depression. My family wants to help me, but they also don't really help. I don't take good care if myself, and they beat me down for it. They tell me I smell terrible, and don't tell me how I can fix it. (I do know how to fix it, but they just beat me up emotionally for it) they also tell me that I haven't been doing good in school, but they know I have trouble with it. They make me do more work if I miss one day. It honestly makes me even more depressed when they do this. I laugh it off in front of them, but I actually hate it so bad. An my anxiety won't let me tell them that they ar hurting me.
I have situational depression and am desperately stuck in a rut. I cannot break out of it because too much time has passed and I have missed my chance to live the life I would have liked. Tips like those featured in the video help in the short term, but long term, I cannot ever see myself breaking out of it :(
I got a notification from your channel during my panic attack and oh my gosh I’m so thankful for your videos..When I’m having a panic attack and it’s to late for me to control it, having someone around is the right option but today I had no one and hearing your voice helped me so much and the message in the end of the video too…I don’t know but your videos are more helpful then my therapist, I would have no idea how to help myself in many situations..Just thank you for what you doing🤍
I can't say enough about your videos and how they have helped me. For the first time I've been able to feel normal about not being OK. People can't understand how if you are successful and smart that you still struggle with being depressed. You have kept me motivated to keep working at it no matter what the external results are. Several of your items I was doing on my own just out of chance. Although cool to get a face to a voice I'm glad I watched a most of your content first. You are strikingly beautiful and I'm sure that would distract most people from the great message you convey.
The more we each learn about mental health issues, the more humane the world becomes. I've struggled with mental health issues since I was very young, & it's always shocked me that so few people understand mental/emotional issues. The knee jerk reaction to someone showing signs of mental/emotional issues is usually anger and/or minimizing ("you have nothing to be sad about!", "you just want attention - you're a drama queen", "you'll be ok - you're just having a bad day", "you just have to pull yourself up by your bootstraps", etc.). I'm thrilled that this is finally changing, & this channel is a big part of that. Thank you, & keep up the good work... ☮💚🌸
Last Sunday, a woman that I didnt know messaged me on my Messenger. It turns out she was someone from my boyfriend's past. She wasn't really an ex because they werent together but she asked me if it would be okay to see him one last time before they will leave for the US and that she needed to tell him that they... had a baby. Turns out my boyfriend didnt know, as well as his family. It did came a shock to everyone. The woman knew we were dating so she approached me first and even asked me if they could try and fix it again. They dated for 3 months last year (way before I met him) so it something I couldnt judge him for. I asked the woman why now, why not way before I met him, and she said it was because at first she wanted to be a single mom but then now that they were leaving for the US, she realized she needed a father. I decided to get some space so they could try and work it out. My boyfriend didnt want want the idea because he never had plans on getting back together with her, but I insisted. I guess its for the best, and for the sake of their child. I just dont understand why I have to be the one to suffer the consequences all the time, the one that have to deal with the emotional damage when I didnt do anything wrong. Why now when I finally found the person for me. Why me? Life is so unfair. Life is so cruel.
This video had me in tears last night. I'm diagnosed as depressed and whilst this tips are incredibly useful, it highlights areas which I have neglected. The realisation that tomorrow is not condemned to be the same as today. ❤ Try to be kind to each other, and yourself. I love this animator and their style. ❤
You’re amazing. You are a great inspiration. I’m diabetic and I’m now 18st 3lbs. I haven’t been this weight since I was 12. It seems small but amazing. Everything you say rings true. I also love your voice. So kind, gentle and non judgemental. Thank you.
Really appreciate this video. Thank you so much for the compassionate, sound advice given in such a gentle and soothing way. I needed this today (and every day). ❤️
What helps me when It comes to depression is to be aware of the good things in life. Is it a beautiful tree with bright green leafs or a flower. I try to think about the beautiful things I see on my way to work to cherish me up. It's hard to accept the fact that I am depressed right now, but I tell me everyday "I am depressed right now and that's OK. It's OK that I feel bad, it won't last forever. I am who I am and that's good and I love myself for who I am". At the end of a day I write down my highlights may it be a kind e-mail from my colleague or a client or even a smile I get walking by a stranger. It's hard to see the good things in life but it worth to be reminded. Thank you so much for your videos!
Thank you. I am thankful to your sharing and I cried after watching it. I am so glad that I am actually doing the steps that you have shared. I have been suffering from depression for years and it worsened due to 2 traumas exploding right in front of me this year. Anxiety attack and terminal insomnia for this 8 months are pure hell for me. I was just penning my sucidial note yesterday in my head. Suicidal thoughts are very real and I have to constantly check out for triggers. Through Ur sharing , I realised that I am trying my very best and be very gentle with myself.
This was indeed helpful--as are most of your videos, especially the ones related to depression (me), TBI (also me), narcissism (I've had multiple exposures), ADHD (my current partner), and schizophrenia (a close family member).
As someone with chronic depression and extreme anxiety, this video helped distract me from falling into my thoughts. This extreme summer weather and my extreme loneliness has gotten to me. These videos really help distract me.
This video came at a good time. Around this time of the year I get depressed and it does get better until the spring or summer. Before it gets worse I'm going to try to prepare by taking my medication, cleaning my room, and printing out my coping list
I've been feeling lost mentally recently. No energy, feeling like all I do is work, try and fail to sleep, and work again, barely eating one meal a day. I told myself I need to start making time for those I care about at the very least and I'll start further improvement from there. I just spent 4 hours helping my dad clean our yard. Normally after the first few hours I'm complaining that I want to stop or that I'm too tired, but today every time I felt like quitting or stopping for the day I told myself "your not doing work, no one is forcing you to do this, your MAKING time for your dad and he is grateful for it. Just a little longer." And I honestly started to enjoy working with him. I'm proud of my accomplishment. I had a geography teacher that was always trying to inspire us in class (every Friday he would share some inspirational quote or story that he found) but the one line I remember most is. "Good, good morning. It's a great day to be alive, beautiful day out there today. BEST (insert current date here) EVER." he would say this even if there was a storm outside and when people brought this up he would respond with. "Awesome free car wash." I miss that teacher.
You have a great opportunity as a pre-teen with knowledge enough to know that there might be a problem. Most of us just figure that we are weird and don't seek help early. Talk to your school counselors. Talk to your parents and tell them what is going on. Don't stop talking. Get the help you need. Don't end up a screwed-up adult. You are so smart.
You are absolutely beautiful. I've seen a few videos. But this one let me put a face on that calming voice. I enjoy your videos. I'm also struggling with depression, self-esteem issues & other basic life stuff. Thank you for thinking about us & showing you care. 😊😊
When I was diagnosed with depression recently, I was told I don't deserve to be depressed because I haven't really suffered. I was told people have it worse than me. I'm convinced I'm just being dramatic. I should just be happy. They convinced me to fake my happiness until it's real.
Thank you for posting. Feel so alone right now, so isolated from the world. Hits me like a tsunami wave out of nowhere and feels insurmountable. Whoever reads this I hope you are getting better, I really do. We must continue to actively try ti get better. I won’t quit trying because one day I will feel better and so will you
Thank you very much for this video, it really made me feel identified. My issue is that I am not good engaging with people. I’m more the kind of lonely person. I like it but from time to time I wish things were different. Btw, You are beautiful not only your voice, you as a person.
Thank you Psych2go. I've been fighting mental health issues alone since no one really cared and I'm a lot happier now. Not everyone gets to talk to a therapist
Of course, even when I'm 75yrs old I'll keep watching psych2go videos as it lifts me up in the worst times of my life. Just yesterday I added a comment that I was having a bad day but as usual I'll always come to watch these videos and the next moment I'm feeling better. To all those who may be suffering from depression, you are wonderful and very strong to have come this far. Giving up and falling into the hands of suicide is the last option as having suicidal thoughts is only for cowards. Remember once again your are wonderful. As for Psych2go, I'll remain alive to keep adding my lovely support in any possible way I can because I like people who add value to the society. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ And many thanks 👍 to Psych2go.
All good but why suicide for cowards? Ok is the last option, but for doing it, need courage and be brave enough. Or at least, that work for me maybe anyone feel different
There's a difference between being clinically depressed, and feeling depressed. What advice would you share with someone who's feeling depressed? Comment below what helped.
Numero uno :)
I honestly dont know I feel like I’m going through depression. I’m not diagnosed but I feel like it
First figure out why as the reasons can be hard to find, maybe is an especific thing or a mix of them. Also in my case I always wait till I feel better to try and change my mentality or my life because I can't if I'm depressed. Being alone and listening to music helps me think until I feel better

Food For Thought: That’s the thing about depression: A human being can survive almost anything, as long as he/she sees the end in sight. But depression is so insidious, and it compounds daily, that it’s impossible to ever see the end.
Thats were ur wrong bucku i see the end clearly with a simple pull on the t..
That's actually very well said. I would add that a human being can survive almost anything if they know they are not alone. But, the loneliness associated with depression, or vice-versa, can make you feel so isolated that you honestly believe that no one sees or cares.
“People who have never dealt with depression think it’s just being sad or being in a bad mood. That’s not what depression is for me; it’s falling into a state of grayness and numbness.” - Dan Reynolds
As someone diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety a year and a half back who went to multiple psychiatrists, and was suicidal for almost 2 months, i can say that your videos help more than professionals. I don't know if its because of your soothing voice or that you actually relate to the issues in depression rather than taking it as a career and a source of income.
Thank you so much. 🙇🏻♂️
💯
Bro I advice to consult a psychologist also, along with psychiatrist medications.. it'll really helpful.. I have being in 14 years of severe depression and anxiety. For those 14 years, couple of years ago I started to consult with psychologist.. I'm happy to say, that I have reduced almost lot of severity and depression period time after that.. but that also not enough, you have to identify yourself mainly.. hope this will help..
I agree! 💯😊
I'm proud of you for being able to voice how you feel. I, also, have severe depression and the other things you spoke of. We, the depressed, need to band together. No one can truly understand depression like a depressed person. I am very glad that you are seeking help. There are times when a person just can't walk this road of life alone. Take care of yourself. I care about you.
Well said! Thanks for your words!
I was told for months by many people I believed to be my friends that I could never get better. And even my (now ex) boyfriend said things like "you're not trying hard enough" or "you aren't even trying" while I was battling severe anxiety and depression... I felt abandoned by the people who were supposed to be there when I needed them... But using the things from your videos, I was able to take to take that step outside, get a fresh perspective on my thoughts and for the first time in years I can proudly say that I am happy... And I want to thank you for everything that you do, your channel saves so many lives and I am so Grateful that I stumbled across this...
Good for you!! Keep up the great work!
i relate to you. my mother is the closest person to me, and i love her very much, but it was so painful to hear that she thinks i’m just lazy, that i’m pretending and my illness (which she doesn’t believe i have) is only in my head and i’m making everything up. just yesterday after hearing all of that i lost all of my will to live, because i felt so alone in the world where no one understands and believes me, not even those closest to me, so i decided to just stop eating and drinking, and die from dehydration. i lasted for two days (and i heard that you only need 3 days without water to die), then was talked out of it. today i heard all things from yesterday again, so i cut my wrists, but was talked out of it again, she said she loved me and all of that, but she still thinks all those things about me. i started to eat and drink again, but i’m not feeling too great right now, as everything seems meaningless and i don’t want to wake up tomorrow, despite the fact that i’ve started taking my meds again. maybe they just haven’t had time to work yet, or maybe i’m just tired, since i’ve cried a lot the past few days, idk. so yeah, it’s been stressful
@@Pain_Ito I am sorry you have to go through this with so little support. Please don't hurt yourself or kill yourself! Dear Pain Ito, there are easier ways to get attention. That tells me that you are really in some trouble now. Is there anyone you can talk to? Someone who can help you find a way out of this depression? Are you in school and do they have counselors? Is there a member of your family that does support you and believe that you are depressed? You need someone close to you to care about you. Dear Pain Ito, I care. I really do. I have had my share of suicide attempts and cutting. While I don't know exactly what the problem is, I can tell you that you are not alone. Please, reach out to the Psych2Go community here. We care and want to do what we can to help you. I'm almost always online in my country at night (Texas USA 10pm to about 3 am). I don't know where you are. But I am here for you.

Thank you 😊
I think it helped but when I watched it I started to think about everything that happens everyday and what if you do all of those things and you still feel depressed
Yeah the struggle definitely is real and hard, appreciate the little extra greetings in this video, thank you! ❤️☀️
Yeah...
You’ve got this you’re doing great
as a person who has been handling EXTREME DEPRESSION for almost 1 year, I appreciate this video.
Keep on fighting. We're all gonna make it. Just keep struggling.
@@Kutomi1 , yeah the proverbial light at the end of the day. As Kendrick Lamar sang, “We Gon be alright. Do you hear me, do you feel me? We gon be alright. ”
I don't think I have depression but it's been a tough couple of years for me but we will get through this🙂
@@Kutomi1 Don't say that we are all going to make it. It sounds nice but it's just not true either. We who want to make it, will make it. The rest of us will die a slow and excruciating mental (and then physical) death. Look at the statistics. We who make it have to fight hard every single day of our lives and there never seems to be a day where anything comes naturally, or easy. Some of us will live, and some of us will die. That is a fact and life does not get any easier for denying the facts. Life is all about attitude, I'll give you that.
@@evanpaluch6190 Well yeah, of course. You're not gonna overcome anything if you don't try. But everyone has the chance to try and keep trying, it's our choice. A lot of people just need some encouragement to believe that they can try. Positivity does at least help a little.
Didnt expect the irl voice actor to pop in but i am not complaining.

She’s beautiful
I’ve struggled with depression for a few years now, and even though I’m doing a lot better, this is still really helpful for my off days. I just want to say how touched I was at the end when you seemed genuinely choked up about the subject. I can tell how much you care about the mental health of your viewers. Remember, guys, it’s the little things that are going to get you through this, so just take it one step at a time and stay safe ❤️
This helps me because I have anxiety depression, thank you

Thanks for this…. After failing college math for the 5th time trying to get my associates degree for Graphic Design I’ve just felt defeated because of how close I was to finally being done with college only to fail graduating alongside my friends because of math.
Failing the math class by 1% didn’t help much either. It broke me… because I spent nearly $2000 alone trying to pass math over the years. Every other general class I overcame, but Math has always been my weakness.
Thankfully the advisor came through, and offered an alternative Math I don’t have to waste money on.
Given all the mental stress I’ve dealt with over the years with college I’m taking a break to gather myself and then finally be done with the godforsaken thorn in my side that’s been Math.
Videos like this build me back up and offer helpful advice, and I can’t thank you enough for what you’ve done over the years. Wish you all the best, and hope this video helps others.
I failed college algebra 3 times. I had to pass it to get my Bachelor's degree. I decided to take the class as a pass/fail so that it wouldn't hurt my grade point. I passed it and my teacher asked why I took it as a pass/fail. When I told her that math was my weak subject, she was shocked. She then told me that I was great at math, I just had bad teachers. Now that you are taking a bit of time off, go online and work on your math skills. You can do this. You really can, you just had poor teachers.
I am someone who has tried healing. I'm in boarding school, something that limits my access to self care facilities. I've been making so much progress lately but sometimes I get these periods of overwhelming sadness and I get worried that I'm slipping. To anyone going through this, you are not slipping! Setbacks happen time and time but that only proves how human you are. Take a step back, relax a little and figure out what went wrong. If I, the weakest mf has been able to push through all these months, you definitely can! :)
Your not weak!! Your in a battle you didn’t ask for and trying to fight through it !! Your a soldier🙏💪 and that’s the mighty truth!!!
@@sandycares2995 you really do care... thank you :)
Sandy Cares is right. A truly weak person could never survive this. You are working to be able to get better. That is more than most people do.
You may describe yourself as someone who is weak, but, it would be a fallacy to say it in the superlative, as you do not and cannot know whether you truly are for a fact the weakest member amongst all in this category of people. Moreover, you surely cannot be weak if you kept on persistently plodding through your plight in spirit of fortitude and perseverance, because you definitely would have had surrendered a long while ago if it were to happen that you truly had been a weak individual. For he who is truly weak would not show any ability to survive even the gentlest of battles, nor endure the mildest storms.
Weakest mf? You sound like a growing, strengthening badass! Keep at it! 😊🌻
Before: _I feel down and lonely, I dunno what to do…_
After: *It’s over, Problems, I have the High Ground*
I've been fighting depression and anxiety from my foot surgery. My insurance was dropped at the same time I was supposed to start physical therapy, so I've been trying to handle therapy on my own. I've reached a dead-end where I know I'm trying, but I feel like I'm not getting any closer to being able to work on my feet again. It is so hard not to give up. I've found that talking to friends helps. Before I say this, just know I'm talking about my personal experiences and not saying everyone needs to do this, but I started going to church and that was my saving grace to keep me motivated. It doesn't have to be church. Find something fun to do with others and it'll help.
Remarkable person reading this.. It’s going to get better; all it is a season of opportunity to grow and be better than before. Challenging times are meant to strengthen us, not to break us. Success doesn’t define to what happened to us; it is how we choose to deal with our circumstances. The more you grow and develop as an incredible person as you are, the more things will change for the better. Forgive more (for you), be grateful for even the smallest things (we have it way better than someone else), choose love over ego, choose humility over ego (humility is strength), and finally, invest into new skills so that your future self will thank you. Our lives will change forever the more we grow. Be thankful for the challenges for we know something greater is coming. Love you always - Nathalie ✨❤️
These suggestions and even the thoughts, make me even more clear on how helplessly things are going to end. I think I need help. I would love to somehow send you my story, and I do find writing as the only positive outlet I have left, just to tell someone at least what has happened and how I'm struggling to handle waking up every day. I don't have anyone else that I can confide in about these things.
The people here in the comments are usually kind to each other as we realized that we are the depressed, traumatized, screwed-up (sorry that one is me)people who Psych2Go is talking to. Most of us are walking the same version of each other's road. So, you are safe here. Be cautious, but we will encourage you and care for you.
I’m crying rn bout the fact that people will probably not like me on the first day of school ( school night) and I haven’t slept.
Im pretty sure everyone will love you! U just need to be confident of who you are. Coming from someone who passed school quite good even tho I am anxiously awkward, all u need to do is select the people u feel comfortable with and not feel that y need to be selected. Take ur time in choosing ur people and Im sure you will be okay ❤
you're gonna do great man, I believe in you! Even if it's scary at first. ;v;
@@lluicgf549 today was good, i mostly hanged out with the people I used to last time.

These videos have helped me throughout all my crushes and times I’ve felt down, so thanks for all the efforts you guys put in your videos ❤️❤️❤️
Same for me too
I wish it helped me, nothing seems to phase me anymore
Great timing. I'm also quite struggling here. Thank you.
Being able to get out of bed is an accomplishment… I start with that! Once I get up putting myself on a routine certainly helps! Then my mind gets surrounded with my routine I forget about the anxiety/depression! I know for some it may not be that easy… but try it you might like it!
@@sheilameyers152 that seems worth trying, I'll give it a go next time B)
I recommended your videos to my therapist. He now shows his patients your videos. Thank you.
truthfully today is the happiest I've felt for a long time, despite spending most of it coughing my lungs out (from a cold) and thinking about my own mortality
I'm not sure why, but I just felt better than normal. Nobody bothered me, I didn't belittle myself for something minor, I didn't get harassed by my brain with a flashback to something cringe I did in kindergarten. All around pretty positive time
Great!! Have a wonderful rest of the day!

I wish I could just be in psi's little world. You guys make it all look so easy.
I'm right there with you.

Wow! I dealt with depression for ten years, without professional help, and did practically all of this. It's mostly the fight in me, that I've never lost, that lead me to naturally gravitate towards these activities. Wow, this just makes me even more proud of myself.
My thinking was,"there's people that care about you. Are you gonna let this beat you, or are you gonna beat it? Fight those dark thoughts. What do you need to do to help yourself fight them? Do this. Do that. Do you feel better? Yes. Push on. You can beat it." More or less. I could possibly add more, but I think that pretty well sums it up. I just did my best to constantly try to find the positive, and to just be more positive, but guarded, and now I'm an extremely happy pragmatic optimist, like as of around a week and a half ago. Also, I did my best to not be negative towards others. I still struggle with that a bit, but I'm working on it, and am about to actually start going to therapy with my wife. We both need it, and at this point she needs it more than I do. A lot of things have fell into proper place for me, and I'm in a great place in my mind. She is still a very negative thinker, and that disheartens me immensely. I've been part of the problem, too. I still have a lot of work to do on myself, and I'm not gonna quit trying to improve myself in some way, for the good of not only myself, but others around me. Hell, I love other people too much. I have a lot of love and empathy. I've been a natural empath for my entire life, and have actually learned how to control it pretty well, thankfully. Now if I could just QUIT NICOTINE! AAAAAH! 😆😅 That day is GOING to come!
Oh, it's actually been several years since I've dealt with actual depression. I've had other bad stuff to work out, as well. Most of it is completely gone, and the feeling of freedom is amazingly overwhelming, and I love it. Break those chains folks! It's possible! I believe in you! Fight that nastiness! Those bad thoughts aren't you. They're lies you're telling yourself. You have worth. You are loved by someone. Hell, I don't even know you, and I have a modicum of love for you. There's so much more I could say, but I'll stop there for now. Oh, I've also studied psychology on my own to try to figure out why think the way I do, and that has helped a LOT. It has helped me to not only know myself better, but to understand others better. A good understanding goes a very long way.
As a psychology student I truly appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos. I hope to become a therapist one day to help people struggling with mental health just like your channel has been doing for years now. ❤❤
Honestly I never thought about what the person who did the narration sounded like but you're actually really pretty
I had a hard depression last fall. I think im over it, I often fall back into that time and can't stand up anymore, can't eat or brush my teeth. But I finally don't have to take pills anymore. Those Pills were like drugs. It still hurts to see people who are self-diagnosed or making online quizzes if they have depression. If u feel depressed or down its okay. But you dint have depression.
Much Love to people who are in or over it
I'm not feeling depressed, and yet, I still want to watch psych2go's video
She is such a comforting person she is someone i could trust
I once was depressed and didn't think that would make it
But hear i am i made it
Can you please talk about the psychology of children who grew up during a war.
Please💔
And thanks for this beautiful channel
I really like your voice❤️
Vid #2 of trying to request a video highlighting the following topics:
1. What you can do if you can't access therapy.
2. Signs your therapist might be harming rather then helping your mental health.
3. What to do in life situations that a therapist cannot fix.
I've had depression for years and at this point I just feel hopeless. Like nothing I do will ever work out. I no longer find joy in life. I can no longer properly engage in a conversation with people. I see no future for myself. Like how can I get a job if I can't talk to anyone? I mean it, it just gets worse every time I try
♡My anxiety and depression stop me from doing everything and since I can't afford therapy I have hated myself so this is super helpful! ♡
I can't imagine living in a large city, where stepping outside means onto a busy street lined with tall concrete structures and thousands of people scrambling about. What a nightmare!
Hey everyone! I have anxiety and depression for a while and i feel like i started to overcome it. Read this if you think it might help:
I am taking therapy for years now but i am seeing a physchiatrist for three monts and i am taking pills for 3 months. Before these three months, i didn't see any point to get out of bed, i didn't see any point why do i exist. I am a college student and i had physical classes 3 days of week. 2 days of online classes. When i went to school, i avoided my friends and professors. I tried to talk to them but when i get back home, i had anxiety attacks. That's when my therapist thought i should take extra help. I thought i was trying to get better but i now realized, i was just fooling myself.
I started to take pills but i didn't believe it would work because i still felt like i would overcome this dungeon in my mind. It become so bad, that i couldn't take it anymore. I think that's when i really wanted to get better. Since then, i am trying to sleep at night(my sleeping schedule is horrible), i try to see the sun, i look around more. I try to appreciate life. I take some summer classes and i need to go school twice a week. I made a friend there. Not just someone to say hello to. I decided to not hate myself. I don't want to see this girl. I want to see a confident woman who impresses everyone. So i started to make more effort for my self care. I feel better with these thoughts. I am not 100% cured but at least i can see an improvement, a light end of the tunnel. I'm not saying if you do these things you will feel better too. One of the other things was to read comments under these videos and how people change their situation. Maybe this might help you too. Much love and hugs to everyone ♡♡
Thank you too all the people putting in effort!
Thank you so much for the message at the end, I really needed somebody to tell me that face to face, even if it wasn’t really in person- it felt so personal I started to cry I’ve been going through a really deep depression during the summer and today and yesterday we’re just days I decided I didn’t want to do anything and just not come out of my room for anything- thank you, truly.
Thank you so much for the message at the end it means a ton. Like the wind lifting of the stress. 💙
For the first time ever since I am watching your chanel I had a feeling like that episode was made especially for such a person like me. I remember ,that lately when I was feeling super bad about myself and my life I've asked you to make an episode like that. Thank you so much! AND you made me aware, that in some very small ways I am fighting for myself already, but I was not aware of it and even when I was, I,m forgetting it so often while feeling bad. Anyway I appreciate A LOT your kindness here and time spent to record this.
Love the art style like always, keep up the good work!
Thank you so, so much. Especially for that last note. It brought me to tears because I am the kind of person that feels that they're disappointing to themselves and others because I just can't seem do the smallest thing to take care of myself. And I really appreciate, truly, the fact of y'all taking the time to create such positive content and again, especially that note at the end. To others not suffering from the same mental conditions these acts may seem like nothing. But as you said, most of the time these little things are no small feat.
Thank you 🤍❤️🤍
Sending Love, prayers and positivity to everyone out there hurting this way. You will make it 🤍❤️🤍
The End Made Me Cry , Thank You !
The part at the end made me cry. I’ve been feeling so alone. Thanks for these videos.
This video is so timely for me, let alone soothing in a time of anxiety. I appreciate your focus on positivity.
I just got diagnosed with anxiety and depression last week. This video is a huge help with dealing with the thoughts I’ve been experiencing for so many years. Thank you for your content :)
Thank you so much for your words at the end of the video. I needed that so very much, it was right on time. ❤
I can’t express even to this day how helpful this video is. Thank you so much, and I hope everyone else is doing okay these days ❤
This made me cry. Thank you for posting this video🙏🏻❤️
Finally finished the video, and had to stop and cry for five minutes. Thank you, thank you so much. I've saved this video so I can look into your eyes and hear your words of love and compassion every time I feel alone and helpless. Bright Blessing on you, you beautiful soul 💚💚
Being depressed is a huge struggle for people like me. I was depressed and lonely for 3 years now and no good things never happened to me for once. Nothing. I do have families and friends that I always care about honestly.
But there is one special puzzle piece that I need in my life which is still out there for me and it's really hard to find. Most artists, gamers and everyone else has one but not me. it's just not fair these days for me. They have a special puzzle piece in their life everyday but not me. I still don't know what the last puzzle piece means for me and trying to solve it. Right now, nothing turn up for me yet. I'm just a unhappy artist and gamer online who is trying to do better for myself and still trying so hard to do so. No good things never happened to me when your lonely. I wish I shouldn't exist in this dimension.😞
Thank you. If i weren't sick right now, i would write how much you're helping us. Words can't describe your kindness.
I'm clinically diagnosed with depression. My family wants to help me, but they also don't really help. I don't take good care if myself, and they beat me down for it. They tell me I smell terrible, and don't tell me how I can fix it. (I do know how to fix it, but they just beat me up emotionally for it) they also tell me that I haven't been doing good in school, but they know I have trouble with it. They make me do more work if I miss one day. It honestly makes me even more depressed when they do this. I laugh it off in front of them, but I actually hate it so bad. An my anxiety won't let me tell them that they ar hurting me.
You actually made me cry with your encouragement at the end 😢
Thank you ❤️
This was needed today. Thank you. ❤️
Your videos are so helpful. This one came at the right time. Thank you for the care and support you share, I'm grateful 🙏🏻
The message in the end so so worth it ❤️ Thanks means a lot
Thank you for spreading positivity and giving comfort ❤️
This Made my day, Thank you so much for being there for us
I have situational depression and am desperately stuck in a rut. I cannot break out of it because too much time has passed and I have missed my chance to live the life I would have liked. Tips like those featured in the video help in the short term, but long term, I cannot ever see myself breaking out of it :(
I so love the graphics in your videos. And the soothing voice. Thank you
I got a notification from your channel during my panic attack and oh my gosh I’m so thankful for your videos..When I’m having a panic attack and it’s to late for me to control it, having someone around is the right option but today I had no one and hearing your voice helped me so much and the message in the end of the video too…I don’t know but your videos are more helpful then my therapist, I would have no idea how to help myself in many situations..Just thank you for what you doing🤍
I can't say enough about your videos and how they have helped me. For the first time I've been able to feel normal about not being OK. People can't understand how if you are successful and smart that you still struggle with being depressed. You have kept me motivated to keep working at it no matter what the external results are. Several of your items I was doing on my own just out of chance. Although cool to get a face to a voice I'm glad I watched a most of your content first. You are strikingly beautiful and I'm sure that would distract most people from the great message you convey.
Thank you for the few sentences in the end of the video. It was so deep for me that it made me cry.
The more we each learn about mental health issues, the more humane the world becomes. I've struggled with mental health issues since I was very young, & it's always shocked me that so few people understand mental/emotional issues. The knee jerk reaction to someone showing signs of mental/emotional issues is usually anger and/or minimizing ("you have nothing to be sad about!", "you just want attention - you're a drama queen", "you'll be ok - you're just having a bad day", "you just have to pull yourself up by your bootstraps", etc.). I'm thrilled that this is finally changing, & this channel is a big part of that. Thank you, & keep up the good work... ☮💚🌸
Thank you so much for the message at the end. It meant so much to me and it felt like you spoke directly to me, so thank you so so so much🥺🥹❤️😭
Last Sunday, a woman that I didnt know messaged me on my Messenger. It turns out she was someone from my boyfriend's past. She wasn't really an ex because they werent together but she asked me if it would be okay to see him one last time before they will leave for the US and that she needed to tell him that they... had a baby. Turns out my boyfriend didnt know, as well as his family. It did came a shock to everyone. The woman knew we were dating so she approached me first and even asked me if they could try and fix it again. They dated for 3 months last year (way before I met him) so it something I couldnt judge him for. I asked the woman why now, why not way before I met him, and she said it was because at first she wanted to be a single mom but then now that they were leaving for the US, she realized she needed a father.
I decided to get some space so they could try and work it out. My boyfriend didnt want want the idea because he never had plans on getting back together with her, but I insisted. I guess its for the best, and for the sake of their child.
I just dont understand why I have to be the one to suffer the consequences all the time, the one that have to deal with the emotional damage when I didnt do anything wrong. Why now when I finally found the person for me. Why me? Life is so unfair. Life is so cruel.
Thank you soooooo much for uploading this!!!! I've been in a funk lately
This video had me in tears last night. I'm diagnosed as depressed and whilst this tips are incredibly useful, it highlights areas which I have neglected.
The realisation that tomorrow is not condemned to be the same as today. ❤
Try to be kind to each other, and yourself.
I love this animator and their style. ❤
You’re amazing. You are a great inspiration. I’m diabetic and I’m now 18st 3lbs. I haven’t been this weight since I was 12. It seems small but amazing. Everything you say rings true. I also love your voice. So kind, gentle and non judgemental. Thank you.
I liked the surprise appearance at the end. Thank you for this video. I needed it.
Really appreciate this video. Thank you so much for the compassionate, sound advice given in such a gentle and soothing way. I needed this today (and every day). ❤️
Thank you so much for this. It helps a lot. i've been struggling with mental health so you guys have been helping me. thank you, alot!
What helps me when It comes to depression is to be aware of the good things in life. Is it a beautiful tree with bright green leafs or a flower. I try to think
about the beautiful things I see on my way to work to cherish me up. It's hard to accept the fact that I am depressed right now, but I tell me everyday "I am depressed right now and that's OK. It's OK that I feel bad, it won't last forever. I am who I am and that's good and I love myself for who I am". At the end of a day I write down my highlights may it be a kind e-mail from my colleague or a client or even a smile I get walking by a stranger. It's hard to see the good things in life but it worth to be reminded. Thank you so much for your videos!
Thank you. I am thankful to your sharing and I cried after watching it.
I am so glad that I am actually doing the steps that you have shared.
I have been suffering from depression for years and it worsened due to 2 traumas exploding right in front of me this year. Anxiety attack and terminal insomnia for this 8 months are pure hell for me. I was just penning my sucidial note yesterday in my head. Suicidal thoughts are very real and I have to constantly check out for triggers.
Through Ur sharing , I realised that I am trying my very best and be very gentle with myself.
This was indeed helpful--as are most of your videos, especially the ones related to depression (me), TBI (also me), narcissism (I've had multiple exposures), ADHD (my current partner), and schizophrenia (a close family member).
I'm glad that I've found this channel. Thank you, Psych2Go! ❤️
As someone with chronic depression and extreme anxiety, this video helped distract me from falling into my thoughts. This extreme summer weather and my extreme loneliness has gotten to me. These videos really help distract me.
Sending you love, Arthur 🥰
Thank you psych2go, I really really love your content. Always the right words in the perfect moment. Thank you.
This video came at a good time. Around this time of the year I get depressed and it does get better until the spring or summer. Before it gets worse I'm going to try to prepare by taking my medication, cleaning my room, and printing out my coping list
This made me cry. Very helpful.
I've been feeling lost mentally recently. No energy, feeling like all I do is work, try and fail to sleep, and work again, barely eating one meal a day.
I told myself I need to start making time for those I care about at the very least and I'll start further improvement from there.
I just spent 4 hours helping my dad clean our yard. Normally after the first few hours I'm complaining that I want to stop or that I'm too tired, but today every time I felt like quitting or stopping for the day I told myself "your not doing work, no one is forcing you to do this, your MAKING time for your dad and he is grateful for it. Just a little longer." And I honestly started to enjoy working with him.
I'm proud of my accomplishment.
I had a geography teacher that was always trying to inspire us in class (every Friday he would share some inspirational quote or story that he found) but the one line I remember most is. "Good, good morning. It's a great day to be alive, beautiful day out there today. BEST (insert current date here) EVER." he would say this even if there was a storm outside and when people brought this up he would respond with. "Awesome free car wash." I miss that teacher.
I'm not even a teen yet and I'm already going through, this your videos help me so much and I'm so grateful for it. Thank you so so so much
You have a great opportunity as a pre-teen with knowledge enough to know that there might be a problem. Most of us just figure that we are weird and don't seek help early. Talk to your school counselors. Talk to your parents and tell them what is going on. Don't stop talking. Get the help you need. Don't end up a screwed-up adult. You are so smart.
your videos help me a lot and i have realized many things because of your channel, thank you psych2go!
Thank you for making a cameo appearance in this video. It was nice to see your face again, Amanda, and hear some personal advice.
Thank you for this. Seriously.
You are absolutely beautiful. I've seen a few videos. But this one let me put a face on that calming voice. I enjoy your videos. I'm also struggling with depression, self-esteem issues & other basic life stuff. Thank you for thinking about us & showing you care. 😊😊
When I was diagnosed with depression recently, I was told I don't deserve to be depressed because I haven't really suffered. I was told people have it worse than me. I'm convinced I'm just being dramatic. I should just be happy. They convinced me to fake my happiness until it's real.
Thank you for posting. Feel so alone right now, so isolated from the world. Hits me like a tsunami wave out of nowhere and feels insurmountable. Whoever reads this I hope you are getting better, I really do. We must continue to actively try ti get better. I won’t quit trying because one day I will feel better and so will you
Really it helps
Thank you 💞
Thanks for being existing, understanding and provide us support
Thank you very much for this video, it really made me feel identified. My issue is that I am not good engaging with people. I’m more the kind of lonely person. I like it but from time to time I wish things were different.
Btw, You are beautiful not only your voice, you as a person.
Thank you so much. I think I need to this. Never give up my friends in the comments there is still hope.
Thank you guys for this and for all of your efforts 😊💗💗💗💗
Thank you Psych2go. I've been fighting mental health issues alone since no one really cared and I'm a lot happier now. Not everyone gets to talk to a therapist
Thanks a lot for this video and thanks for putting your time into these wonderful videos that really help us all out.
Thanks you for those words. I love your voice, relaxing and understandable
Shout out to all these videos that helped me pull myself out of the brink. I still struggle, but I am in a much better place than I was.
The video is so helping and true and the best part was the last 2 mins of it it rly made me happy and better
Of course, even when I'm 75yrs old I'll keep watching psych2go videos as it lifts me up in the worst times of my life. Just yesterday I added a comment that I was having a bad day but as usual I'll always come to watch these videos and the next moment I'm feeling better. To all those who may be suffering from depression, you are wonderful and very strong to have come this far. Giving up and falling into the hands of suicide is the last option as having suicidal thoughts is only for cowards. Remember once again your are wonderful. As for Psych2go, I'll remain alive to keep adding my lovely support in any possible way I can because I like people who add value to the society. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ And many thanks 👍 to Psych2go.
All good but why suicide for cowards? Ok is the last option, but for doing it, need courage and be brave enough.
Or at least, that work for me maybe anyone feel different
@@sunknight5303 as you said,you need courage to pass it by because committing suicide shows you have given in to let depression way you down.
Guess I'm a coward 😔
@@imgoodkinda no you're not. You'll only be one if you end up committing the suicide eventually but if you fight it out, it shows you're strong
@@derekkennedy20 yeah ill be doing that soon
