    i try not to base my self worth on stupid things. but once in a while a bad grade is all i need to break down in tears, and go into a depressive state. the fear of being being neglected is enough to make me stay in bed for a week.

      Yes. I hate that too. People out of nowhere say "I'm depressed" and shit if they like fail a test or if they fight with a friend or over something like that isn't all that big like okay you'll cry and be upset for about an hour or the most a day but then you'll be okay, with depression it never goes away. If you free like shit on Monday, you'll still feel like shit on Tuesday and on Wednesday, etc. People assume they have depression because they're sad for a day or two but nah.

      My least favourite thing is feeling stuck. I don’t fear change; I fear permanence. It helps to reassure myself that things will change, and I know it won’t always be for the better, but that’s ok.

      I know exactly what you're going through deer. I have been so damn broke and so out of it for years from a false accusation that the D A made about me I lost jobs and everything else I couldn't afford anything I wanted to hang myself off a bridge with a sign that says here's my body for those pigs. It's a long story I won't get into it still cost me thousands of dollars to prove my innocence and still leave things on my record. It stays on your record even if you're just arrested even if you're proven innocent it stays on your record as what you were charged with and what you were arrested for. But I must say even in my porch moments and even when I started to make some money by being open and talking with some of the clinic I have found quite a few places that offer slider scales that you don't pay by the percentage of what you make and then other clinics that don't charge you at all. I have had headaches working with them but now that I'm making my health care the priority my mental health not somebody else's low on gas or anything else not for fast food or nothing else I am making my mental health a priority even when I don't have money I find places are willing to help I've been going to therapy for over a year on a weekly basis and I can tell you right now I don't have the money to afford it. I would recommend going on the healthcare.gov and seeing what kind of health insurance you can get through that and seeing if they can even subsidized it a little bit lower sometimes you can talk to an actual person who can help you with the process.

    • @leoki4804
      @leoki4804 5 років тому +8

      I don't have money and my parents would never pay for that and I can't get a job because I'm too depressed to even try but I need the money to get therapy to be able to seek a job!
      The only free help I found really helpful is an app called Youper. It's helped me a lot but it's not enough sometimes. I need an actual human being to talk to, not an AI.

    I probably have depression but I'm usually the optimistic friend that tries to make other people laugh when they're sad. I always try to help my friends since most have depression as well but they don't help me because I never really showed signs of sadness. When a friend cries, everyone tries to support them and make them feel better. When I'm sad, no one really cares or I feel like they don't. I feel like I'm trapped inside my own mind because I feel like no one understands what I think or how I think but myself. Life sucks but you have to move on.

    • @angelofmery21
      @angelofmery21 9 років тому +81

      I totally relate. Always there for ppl even though you have your own problems but when you open up finally about what your going thru its almost like they get weirded out. Its really hurtful. The "strong supportive ppl" need someone to lean on from time to time to. There is a person who literally has never started a conversation asking me how I'm feeling. Its always been a conversation about their life and their battles and when I finally opened up about what I felt inside they didn't have a response and the next time I talked to them instead of asking about my situation they just started venting to me. I don't have a problem being supportive because that's what I am and what I've always been but at least genuinely ask me how I am doing from time to time and check on me

    • @EveryThing6396

    • @angelofmery21
      @angelofmery21 9 років тому +10

      It really does. & the sad thing is I'm not sure if they are selfish or what but its like they are absolutely oblivious to the fact that they never ask about me. I can understand how some ppl have this innate matriarchal/patriarchal thing in them and it sort of causes ppl to rely on them with everything because they're looked at as leaders. So I guess ppl get so comfortable with them playing that role that they fail to realize that even though a person might be strong or a person might be "the glue" that holds everything and everyone together that they still need support, encouragement, regard just like the next person. They need a pick-me-up to keep going too. Its so easy to get "comfortable" letting someone play their role but everyone should have it in them automatically to just ask "how are you and do you need anything". I dunno

    I've had depression since I was 12, but I'm that type of person who can't share my emotions even with my parents, but one day I realized I need help because it's ruining my life. I made the courage to tell everything to my mom, so I could tell all of my emotions to her and ask her to help me find a therapist, she started yelling at me saying that if I go to a therapist at a young age, everyone will think I'm crazy. It crushed everything, and it's been over a year since that, nothing has gotten better, I even have thoughts of committing suicide, because I don't know any good reasons to stay on this earth. My mom keeps yelling at me that I'm never in mood, and I'm always in my room being sad for no reason it's like she doesn't understand. I don't know what to do

    • @thisnigga5986
      @thisnigga5986 6 років тому +33

      meg mos Try and earn some money from a small job or maybe chores, then go to an adult you trust (a teacher, friend, cousin, sibling etc.) and tell them to help you find a therapist and use the money to pay for cost, which is about $120 more or less. Believe me, I know how you feel, my parents are just as stubborn as yours, especially my dad. (P.S...This is my troll account, but I really do want to help you the best way I can)

      Sadly, a lot of people feel that certain peoples feelings are invalid. This is not assuming and you have the right to want to protect yourself from unneeded or harmful comments especially form people who have raised you. My parents are very old fashion and aren't very sympathetic. That why I think it's best for people to speak to professionals who know and understand thoroughly what is happening.

    I used to be clean/hygienic (I shower twice a week nowadays)
    I used to eat healthy
    I used to worry about homework and tests (I’ve been a straight C student and have 2 F/D and I really don’t care)
    I used to worry about my grades

    Today I cried to my parents and told them how hard school is and that they never help me. Boy oh boy did I mess up. They thought that I was looking for attention and sympathy - I'm not depressed or anything - but I'm definitely under pressure by this stupid school system - but what about all those depressed kids ? Who cry out for help and don't get anybody? What is that kid and their rope was to ship today-tomorrow -tonight? What would their parents say ? " she/he show any signs of depression

    1) Why is it that sleep can only rescue me for less than 2 hours?
    2) Why does eating make me even hungrier?
    3) Why don't I like the sunlight anymore?
    4) Why doesn't anyone like me?
    5) Why am I feeling sad?
    6) Why is it so dark?
    When I ask myself these questions, I think about these instead:
    1) Why is sleep better than being awake?
    2) Why do I want to find excuses to starve myself?
    3) Why do I want to risk my health by staying under my blankets instead of opening the windows and breathing in the cold morning air?
    4) Why don't I like myself?
    5) Why am I indulging in such self pity?
    6) Why can't I TURN ON THE DAMNED LIGHTS?!!!
    That last one was a joke. But even though I try to understand what is it that is making me so depressed, I can never know. There are many different factors. Is it people shouting at me when I'm at home? Is it stress and overwork from school? Could it be my fear of disappointing myself? Could it be that nobody seems to talk to me except when they want something to gain from me? I try my best.
    But I suppose that it is alright to feel sad. It is alright to feel angry. It is alright to feel like nobody is on your side. But it is NOT okay to feel like hurting yourself is good. I'm 11 years old and I know that I haven't reached the worst part yet. But I'll fight. As much as I can. To free myself from this haze of smoke and dark thoughts. I am not useless. I am not alone. And I am NOT someone who is afraid of life. I love myself. And you should too.
    Stay Strong.

      Me too and I can't tell a doctor because the first thing they do is send u off to a mental hospital and those don't help all the time. They make you feel more crazy and depressed than you were before and they feed you drugs but being on medication will not help 100 percent because it's like you're not alive or controlling your own mind and body. I would feel trapped if I was on medication that's also one of the reasons I won't tell a doctor.

      Sabrina Griffin I’m in the same situation, I’ve been depressed since mid 2013 and now I’m 17 too and it’s been going on for almost half a decade. But you should seek help, you’re not alone, you don’t have to be alone with this, talk to your doctor/GP, it’s awkward but they’ll understand. They’ll help you, even if that means referring you to a hospital doctor or a professional. I have my first appointment tomorrow and I’m really anxious, but I know that it will help me, hopefully... it might seem like you won’t break out of it because you’ve been stuck feeling like that for so long, but that’s not true. You can get better, you can improve, even after 5 years. I believe in you, lots of people believe in you. I hope you feel better now and have had help, if not, please go to your doctor/GP as soon as you can, because it’s easier to break out of those feelings the sooner you do it. Sorry for the rambling, I hope you’ve had a great day.

Nobody can do it alone. There's no shame in asking for help, I hope you know that. If you feel depressed, tell your parents, other family members you trust, a friend, your school counselor, teacher, etc. Just let somebody know.

It won't happen overnight but it will happen! It may not mean much considering I don't know you, but I believe in you!

And while she proceeded to ask if I wanted a soda, my heart just broke because I'm suffering here but no one seems to realise or care. Not even the person I trust most in this world.

    Thank you for this Kati. You've inspired me to seek out therapy. I was diagnosed with depression a few years ago. I thought I was managing OK. However recent events have handed me a big setback and I have realized I need a pro to help me. I was just putting bandages on the thing. Thank you for your channel, your wisdom and light hearted practicality around mental health. It's a balm to the soul. Well, this soul anyway.

    My family just doesn't understand my depression. One time I was in the bathroom feeling depressed, brushing my teeth. There was a spider, and my brother came in and killed it. I don't know why, because I hate spiders, but just looking at that sad, crippled lifeless body just set me off and I just started crying. Everyone was trying to figure out why killing the spider made me sad. They just don't understand that that wasn't the reason I was crying. They don't understand me. I can't explain myself, and I just feel lost and alone. No one takes me seriously, because I'm only 13 and nobody thinks people that young can be depressed. I just feel so isolated.

      If you feel isolated,then go out there and be with people wich share the same hobbies.
      And also you can't except your familye to understand you,you need to start talking openly with your family.
      I know it's kind of offensive saying to a depressed person to get over it,but just do it.
      Search for things you like in reality,and then search for people wich share your hobbies.

      I'm 13 too. And i don't really know that i'm depressed or not... But this morning i went to the bathroom in shool to hear music and stuff and i just started crying... I skipped my first class (i have never done) in the bathroom just crying and think.
      But sometimes it's worst... I want to broke things and sream and just let my stress and sadness out but i just cry and sometimes cut.
      Life is sucks but thats good to know that i'm not alone...

      ulNag As a guy going through 8 years depression, I've experienced loads. from losing of loved ones to the hating of my entire family. I felt empty, useless.. I wanted to die but I kept going on. There was always this little hope even when I didn't want to be remembered when I died as the guy that suffered most of his life. No one is useless, fight for what is right. As an atheist, I believe that you only have one life here and YOU need to life it fully. It's about you, not them. You're not brought to this world to make orthers happy. You need to take action, pal. I hope my advice helped you :) take care!

    For anyone who is reading this comment, If you are feeling utterly and despairingly hopeless, worthless, and living in a very dark place.....please listen to me.......don't give up. It may take a year. It may take 5 years....listen to me....it will get better. You have to try!.....the smallest, tiniest effort is what I need from you....get out of bed....get off the couch....get up!...and then.....go outside, and go for a walk. a small ten minute walk. that's it. just for today, get out and look up at the sky. and then realize, you must realize, no matter how completely fucked-up your life may seem, realize........there is hope. you can do something. remember, in your present condition, your mind is paralyzed....at this severely disabling time in your life, you are unable to see the potential for improvement.....but believe me.....it's there. You need someone to help you to find and present to you what options you have to make an improvement....an opportunity....for whatever it is that is causing your suffering....a lack of employment....financial ruin.....loss of a sense of self-worth.....rejection from others....feeling ugly...so on and so forth. You must trust me when I say there is ALWAYS hope...and I'm not just blurting out bullshit.....I know there is hope, because I have been where you are now. I have been in that dark, awful place. hopelessness. unless someone has experienced it for themselves, they have no idea what the fuck it really feels like. They will NEVER understand the pain.......my friend, I know what you're feeling. And I am here to tell you, that in time, and just a little effort on your part, and the help and support of others, you WILL ascend out of the depths of hell you are in. You will rise.....you must trust me. You just need to take SMALL STEPS. One small step each day. Soon, you will see the horizon. And when you finally stand in confidence, you will be a stronger, more sensitive, compassionate, and understanding human being. You will be reborn through the baptism of humility. You will project a shining presence, a natural earned endowment for your perseverance. It will happen....just not overnight, understand. One small step. Seek the help of a friend, a family member. Then take that small step.....A thousand mile journey begins with the first step. -Confucius.

    • @Carandini
      @Carandini 9 років тому

      All out of trust. Things never 'got better' for me. All that happened is I lost the delusion that it ever would. I've clung too long to this conceit of just pushing on, enduring the pain year upon year for some illusory moment when it would improve. The small steps, the long march, none of it lead anywhere except the same misery that has dogged me since I was 12. That was 30 years ago. At every turn I've been betrayed by hope. Any time I dared to let it slither back into my heart, all it has done is deceive me, rip open the old wounds and leave me more wretched than before. When hope betrays you often enough, you come to curse and despise it as the most vile evil in the world. The very concept is anathema. It is a delusion, a mocking fable to lead you on towards still another mirage. When it cheats you and the mirage fades, you find the desert has become more desolate and barren than before. You can always see the horizon, but for some it is just the same darkness we're already in. You emerged from your ordeal, but don't think that everyone can. Some of us are meant to inspire. Others are put here to serve as a warning. I didn't expect anything to change overnight, but I think decades is enough time to see the writing on the wall.

    • @thecrouchmonster
      @thecrouchmonster 9 років тому

      Carandini let me ask you a few simple questions: Are you either blind or deaf? Do you have both your arms and legs? You must have working fingers, you've typed plenty of words? Are you serving a life sentence in prison? Are you starving to death from malnutrition? Have you lost your entire family to war? If you didn't answer yes to any of these questions, then maybe you need to re-examine your present philosophy. And yes, anyone can emerge from the darkness. But first you must change your attitude.

    • @Carandini
      @Carandini 9 років тому +5

      Just the kind of response that everybody hears. Wow, that really makes everything so much better. Yeah, I hadn't thought about it that way before. Wow, that makes the pain all vanish in a wisp of smoke. Thinking doesn't change reality. Perception doesn't change the fundamentals necessary to what each individual considers the barest essentials of having any quality of life. A change of attitude accomplished nothing. You can't fix what's broken by pretending it isn't. Anyway, done here.

    • @Marashor
      @Marashor 9 років тому +3

      You've definitely been there! The walk outdoors does help... temporarily. The worst thing you can do when dealing with depression, anxiety or any other problem is share it with someone who hasn't walked in your shoes... they'll never understand the monster you're fighting.
      The walk and a good support group of like-minded individuals would be best. Depending on your spiritual beliefs--prayer can also help. Music also helps for a while.

    i always feel worthless, useless and irrelevant. i feel that im a failure at everything. i used to play the guitar to escape from the real world, and i loved the guitar so much, whenever i played the guitar, i felt that i wanted to stay with my guitar forever and stay away from all the stupid people that bring me nothing but sadness and depression. i sometimes sleep to escape aswell, i can literally sleep for over 10 hours without facing a problem. i love being social but at the same time, i think its not worth it. i also just wish that i can knock people out with 1 hard punch aswell, even though im a very nice person. if you can help me, that would be simply very great and i would be thankful in return.

    I kind of already knew about the first 5 signs, but I never really thought about that physical manifestation. I've been to the doctor on multiple accounts for stomach aches, headaches, breathing issues, and other symptoms that I could never explain, but every time I was told that I was in peak physical condition. Now I know why some of these things may be happening! Thank you!

    I cried while watching this, because I have all of these signs for maybe 4 years. I am only(?) 13. I never realised that wanting to jump off (a way to high tree) to hurt yourself isn't normal. (But I never did it, I ''only'' wanted to.)
    I never really feel happy, whatever I do, I just feel an awful pain every day, just something I can't describe.
    But I don't know what to do, because there is no reason why I feel like this and don't know how to find help. I do have a good band with my family and friends, but still... Please help me...
    (don't mention my English, I'm Dutch)

      Jade Nanarjain I am sorry you feel that way..
      I just learned that "gratitude exercise" helps in increasing happiness up to 25% so maybe this will help. Write down all the things that you can be grateful for... from the little things(like being grateful for a warm,smoothing cup of coffee) to the big things (like grateful for having a home) make the list as specific as possible.
      Try meditation and exercise also because they also have proven to help increase happiness, tell yourself that you want to feel happy,instead of "I dont want to feel sad" and look up on the name "Mark Henick" he has a story to tell.
      If it gets worse you MUST tell Someone..someone you trust the most, they will be really supportive, everyone knows about depression these days, so they will most certainly help you.

    the first sign is sudden phobia of a particular person or situation.
    later the mood starts to dip slowly
    finally it is the quicksand of hopelessness.
    depression is very difficult to understand for the common man
    but a good doctor can quickly change the situation with correct medication
    an understanding friend is very helpful.

      hey bud I just wanted to stop by and maybe talk.. I spend my nights awake. thinking if anything I do will even matter any more. if anything i do will even matter cuz I will die anyways. I always just think in my head "I don't care if someone comes and takes my life right now." I do things more dangerously now, because I don't care anymore... I just started school again.. I'm in 9th grade. the only person that noticed that I was down. that i wasn't "right" was my teacher. She asked my friends" is your friend depressed" they answerd with no he just plays games he is fine. So I was left there looking completely dead. And nobody cared. My teachers would accasunaly ask me. "is everything ok?" as if they were the only people who noticed. I always think about suicide. I always think what's the point anymore if I won't even use these things later. I'm always waiting for that day I get a gun in my hands. The day I get to pull the trigger.

    • @DonVFilmoraTutorials
      @DonVFilmoraTutorials 8 років тому +1

      Fendi Bruce I am finishing highschool right now next year and I am out, suicide is not the answer, never, even though I feel really down sometimes I still get up, talk to your family about it and visit someone... There are good things out there, get up and kick a**, what you leave behind really matters, I for myself want my fam to be happy and maybe with videos help someone with something... Suicide would hurt everyone around you, and if you do it you'll let the bad thoughts win... Personally I don't know how it is to have suicidal thoughts but I know that it is not worth it...
      2 Years ago I had a friend who did self harming and I was not able to do nothing about it just talk to her at those dark long nights, now she is really happy even though we don't talk anymore because I started loving her and she didn't saw me that way (a lot of my self doubt came from that I think) I am really happy that she is not that person anymore and if she did something stupid would destroy me. Now I am getting better cause it has been a time and I didn't believe it at first but time heals all wounds... We are young with a long life ahead of us, so please fight through it :) If you want something you can send me a private message...

    • @whodis5499
      @whodis5499 8 років тому

      my family doesn't really care about me. Yah yah. I'm sure alot of people say that but my family barely knows my name. I know suicide isn't the answer. I've been fighting through it for along time and I'm still fighting on. But I still know my decision when I see a gun.

  • @woobenstein
    @woobenstein 5 років тому

    I've dealt with depression since elementary school, but I think I've gotten over a figurative hill in terms of how hard it is for me to deal with it. I find that being very conscious of what I'm feeling at any time and making conscious decisions on ways to deal with it (e.g., backing off from something that exacerbates my depression, writing in a journal, having calm and rational self talk) is incredibly helpful. I never went to therapy and was abused by my mother for most of my life, the only real thing that keeps me sane now are these strategies

    I have 5 of these signs. Is that bad? But just because I smile and can laugh at people's jokes, it makes it seem like I don't think about suicide or that I don't think about how much I hate myself and feel guilty about what i've done in the past and it haunts me every day of my life.
