The best way I get out of depression is making "progress".
Make progress in your life, either in your job, getting a job, in your friendships, in your hobbies, yourself image by starting exercising, in your relationship, making new relationships, travel to new places etc..
Jesus you hit the nail on the head every second of this video. My chest hurts, in a good way. I've been dealing with unmedicated, untreated and unassisted Major Depression and Social Anxiety for almost three years now and every word of this struck a chord with me.
Why aren't you on meds?
Cyndy Bennett drugs are not a solution. drugs only temporarily mask the problem, and in many cases make it worse. 99% of these depressed people have deep personal problems that they need to deal with.
I know the feeling.
I need someone like you as a friend, someone who understands.
This is way tends to happen where I live
Popular person: I feel depressed.
Very one else: oh it's ok you have all of us, don't worry we're here for you, so on and on.
Unpopular person: I'm depressed.
Everyone else: what's wrong with you, you should be happy you have every thing, stop the act you just want attention, just get over it you b!!!!!, and so on.
I hate this world. T_T
im not popular but people care...on The internet
The yelling portion hurt a lot. I felt it in my chest. Nothing negative on you, but that's how my body perceives it.
Le Enderman It was meant too. That means the social behavior affects you when people do and say that shit to you.
I heard my uncle's voice and I was covering my ears.
+MrRepzion Being yelled at, especially by my uncle, is an automatic shutdown response. I immediately start crying and trying to avoid the yelling.
Jennifer Strong sometimes all it takes for me, is for someone to clench their teeth and start cussing at me w/ out always yelling, making me shut down mentally. I know what you mean, the sad thing is, that fear still hasn't changed or gone away.
It was triggered by a family member doing it to me as a kid, and it's terrified me ever since, but only she raised her voice, no one else has...so far.
It may sound weird and cheesy, but that's one of mine.
I suffer with panic attacks and anxiety. As I'm typing this I'm even having a panic attack right now. It's horrible. It would be great if you could discuss this issue. I'm loving your loving attitude towards people my man.
I used to get panic attacks. They are the most horrible thing I know and I started to get them at the peak of my depression (when I was about 17). They were also the reason why I wanted help from professionals because I just couldn't take it anymore. I got the medication for depression and all the anxiety, fears and roller coaster emotions of mine disappeared, but when I stopped the medication the anxiety and panic attacks got back even worse, thought the depression didn't come back. After half a year of stopping my medication, in attempt to heal my body of some things (acne, pms, painful menstruation) I fixed my diet and tried to live as healthy as I could. Unintentionally eating more nutrients got rid of my daily panic attacks immediately. These days whenever I get the sense of anxiety (rarely, but it happens if I'm unbalanced) I eat raw cocoa powder (I believe it helps because it's so rich in magnesium). Changing my lifestyle also got rid of other sickness in my body. What's ironic thought is that I became orthorexic instead, thought I'm over that already.
I hope that whatever the reason for your panic attacks is, you will find it. Often these things don't come alone but with other symptoms as well.
I have anxiety attacks, too. I'm on Zoloft for it because it became such a problem that it kept happening at work and happened a few times when I went to the doctor. It's kept me from sleeping for I don't know how many years. I also have problems with depression. It caused the girl who I thought was my best friend for 10 years to get pissed at me and leave me. She said I was too negative. I'm glad MrRepzion is making videos about this. It's definitely a difficult topic that everyone tries to ignore.
I get panic attacks from my tinnitus, so I can relate to some degree. It truly is terrible, and although the panic attacks are short, they seem very lengthy and it is in those moments that suicide becomes a viable option.
I wish my depression would just go away.Ive had it for thirteen years.Every now and then I pop and scare myself.My medication helps but sometimes the smallest thing puts my brain into red alert.
*Hugs and gives a chocolate cookie* I hope you feel better :)
You'll be happy one day trust me :)
I was in depression myself. but i always had people and other living beings who cared about me. keeping me on my feet. My depression was mostly caused from school. But my mom did her best to fix that and she succeeded. One thing i'm glad i did was talk to people about it. Maybe it might help if you talk to people. But anyways i hope you'll find a smart way to try to heal your depression.
Same
The thing that makes depression and social anxiety so aggressive is how cyclical it is. You become convinced that you are worthless, in turn that causes you to utterly despise yourself, that in turn eventually causes you to distrust other people because you feel that they have nothing good to say about you, the longer it goes on, you start to dislike other people, even longer you begin to despise everyone as much as you despise yourself. You go from utter misery to intense anger and frustration, bouncing back and forth between the two. The biggest question in your mind becomes simply "why?".
Nope. It's never the best option. It ought never even BE an option. As long as you live, things CAN get better, if you're dead, nothing can ever change. PM me if you wanna talk. Nobody deserves to ever feel like life isn't worth living. Seriously, PM me if you want to talk.
Yella Dart That's your opinion. Suicide is the choice of the individual and for some it IS the only way out. Not because there aren't ways out but because the pain finally surpasses the desire to even be happy one day. It's people like you who completely ignore it and belittle it as an acceptable option that drive us further towards it. Be a little more tolerant of views other than your own if you feel so strongly about preventing suicide.
Cissi Just because people feel that way doesn't make it good. While I do believe the decision to end your own life ultimately is yours and yours alone, I would want to see some sort of action, some intervention long before this point. Call me an unrealistic but I would like to live in a world where we take enough care of people that they do not feel the need to kill themselves due to depression or a similar condition.
I had a friend who's really social and always happy and practically the opposite of me, and when I told him about how depressed I always feel and why I was always so negative he told me he would help me. I was being negative one day and he basically snapped and yelled at me like you showed an example of and told me I was self centered, he told me it was my fault that I wasn't as social as him and it was my fault I was being depressed because being happy is the "norm". So we haven't been friends since and it really hurt me because I thought someone was going to help me out but it just ended up hurting me more...and I lost a friendship.
howtopasstime God bless.. You poor soul..
Keep doing self help videos. I don't know what it is exactly but when you talk about these things there's emotion in you, from your experience. It's powerful, the words you speak have real meaning.
I'm an introvert and it gets on my nerves when I can't start conversations. It prevents me from meeting new people and improving relations with others
Been feeling empty for a while, like nothing really matters if I do this or that. When I'm in school I walk into the classroom and nobody seem to notice. At lunch breaks I just walk around the Green or corridors in circles rubbing against the wall.
At home I can never motivate myself to do anything, expect maybe do the odd quest on Skyrim. For example, I feel hungry, but I won't go and get a packet of crisps/chips from the cupboard.
Its incredibly hard for me to find a group to fit into in my region, living in rural Ireland where soccer and Gaelic football are the only important things aside from the other stupid crap on TV. I find that music helps, but other than that, its stuff that helps me move, keep going and not sit looking at a blue screen.
Thx
I feel exactly the same
just an idea, but i think you should keep your audible.com advertisements and use them for resources for issues you're talking about.
this is a great fucking idea
As someone who has had Depression and Anxiety for as long as I can remember, I want to thank you. People need to understand that we aren't this way because we want to be.
Do you think you could do a video on anxiety?
i tryed going to my doctor to ask for antidepression pills but they always send me to the damn therapist. someone who's going to sit on the chair and act like they care just to get the paycheck isn't going to help me.
You should try therapy, sure some people might not care but there are many therapists that actually do care and i think it may be beneficial for you to give it a try. Also, many people who take antidepressants report to feeling worse than they have before.
Go to therapy, but with a psychiatrist if that makes you feel more comfortable. He will decide if you should or not take medication. I'm on medication, and it has done a lot for me but I need the therapy to cope with the emotional effects of this whole thing :) and to put my life back together.
yeah i get where you are going with this and the minoritys DO care like you said but MOST don't i should have added that in the comment.
you make it sound like i said ALL therapist care about is money. that's not what i'm saying. you are in the better minority who actually cares but SOME don't. maybe my expirience ( or however you spell that) did make me feel that way but i didn't mean all therapists are like that.
I want you to know, that there are doctors who do care. I have been depressed without knowing it over the past few weeks. I knew I was constantly sad, because my bipolar disorder can cause a persistent state of mind that can last for months on end, but I didn't think I was going beyond sadness entering into the depression phase until this morning when I had a feeling of no way out, and a couple thoughts of suicide to accompany that feeling, crying every minute, and the refusal to leave my bed.
How do I know there are doctors who care? I went to the hospital this morning for the suicidal thoughts and the urge to follow through, they followed procedure, and they discharged me because I wasn't feeling suicidal anymore. They told me to go back if my symptoms worsen, and then I got home. I'm not saying I'm going to start to leave the depression stage starting today. That's not how bipolar disorder works, but the fact that they did what they could to help me shows that they care about the wellbeing of their clients and will do whatever they can. So, there are doctors out there who are competent. Who, in their eyes, the patients come first, the paycheck second. I knew some doctors who refuse a weeks pay, or gives the money away, if he failed just one client.
I'd also like to mention this. Someone said it to me, and it changed the way I see hospitals. Even though your life depends on them to do their job correctly, remember that the Hospital is STILL a customer service. They serve YOU. So, you have every right to keep going back to that hospital, even if it pisses them off, until they decide to give you a competent doctor. If they refuse, you have the right to choose a different doctor. You come to them for your help, and because you're technically a customer (patient is just a fancy word in my opinion), they NEED to help you the way YOU want.
I wish you good luck and never forget that you aren't alone.
Your depression/self-harm/suicide videos are my favorites because I identify with them the most.
MrRepzion please talk about the topic of Social Anxiety. I would like to know more about it.
I have felt like I have It but I don't feel confident enough about the subject to self diagnose myself with it.
It is the worst feeling ever
cerebralpr0n you're half right on that one, you shouldn't self
diagnose, that I agree with
but a professional assessment isn't always accurate or flawless.
Believe me, been there done
that. I'm in my late 30s now, all my mental issues started before I was 10 years old from being traumatized, only last spring did I figure out the ' true origin' of it.
For various reasons , I feel ashamed for not opening up a lot sooner.
I'm not saying all professionals are frauds, but some are and just in it for the money, not to truly help the patient.
Don't wait until your childhood is gone and open up then, you're better off nailing it soon after it starts.
Good day, peace
One of the worst things about being depressed (for me) is that you attract other depressed people. All of my friends end up having similar issues that I do. It's like no matter what I can't escape it. Just once I wish I could attract more positive people so that maybe they can rub off on me. .__.
I feel exactly the same! That the friends you have right now are not the type of friends you want to be surrounding yourself with so you feel like your in a deep massive dark hole with no light or friends to guide you out or take your mind of things
TheLaurenj Glad to know I'm not alone in feeling this way. :)
***** That's not very nice. :/
***** Don't get me wrong. I concur that depressed people can be very friendly but surrounding yourself exclusively with people like that can really bring you down.
***** I know exactly how you feel. :/ Most if not all of my friends are online, too. They are all good friends that I wouldn't want to give up for the world. I just don't think it's healthy to surround yourself with the same type of mentalities because then you feel "stuck" and you can't get out. I just wish it were easier for me (and by extension us) to branch out and find other people who see the world differently than I do so that maybe I can change and not spend so many nights alone in the darkness over thinking things and letting all my senseless worries take over. The part that I think is "not nice" is that you generalize the "normal" people. I've met the "pricks" that you speak of, but what you must remember is that we all have our own issues and people with seemingly perfect lives are almost always covering up some baggage. I wish this wasn't so. I wish there was someone who just had it good so I could learn from them. What you say may be true about a lot of people these days but I hold out hope that there will be some "normal" people who do understand and will reach out.
Also, although it's hardly fair, you need to remember that a lot of people on the outside see us as "stuck-up" and "arrogant" and they think they're doing the right thing by leaving us alone. While I'll be the first to admit that it's extremely difficult, sometimes you need to do half the work and open up to them (not about your problems--just talk to them normally) so that they see that despite whatever issues you may have, you can still be a functioning person in society. It doesn't guarantee that they will accept you but it is always good to practice. Dunno if anything that I've said has helped anybody.
When I am depressed, I do not feel worthless and miserable, I instead tend to feel the world is an horrible place and that IT is worthless and miserable. I guess that always helped me throught, because I feel like the fault is not on me and I still have hope for the world to change, by my hand or another's.
I'm guessing you had a shitty childhood and therefore caused you to have a view of the world that was shitty and miserable? Child abuse is the main problem here.
Andre Valentine What? No, I had no such issue. My problem is probably that I was over-sensitivised to the world's problem since my youngest age, which make me feel like I live in a terrible time.
I do both.
Andre Valentine The view that the world is shitty is not one of a warped view, it's one of a detailed realistic view. The world is full of pain, suffering, injustice, tragedy. No matter how much you enjoy the good things, the bad things make some of us wonder if it's even worth sticking around. Why should I care that I got that big piece of chocolate cake if someone was brutally raped at the same moment? Is that really such a great trade?
poop dawg Why wouldn't that be? I feel extremely horrible and hopeless, just not for myself.
Daniel, could you talk about anxiety attacks? I have extremely bad anxiety, and it's hard to control your anxiety attacks, yet everyone seems to think i can't. One thing will set me off and then I'm screaming, crying, and hardly breathing. Most people think I'm just being overdramatic and too emotional on purpose. People think I'm psycho at my school because I have anxiety attacks during school a lot, which triggers more attacks because people start talking about me. It's hard to describe, and I don't know if you've ever experienced this but it'd really help.
I don't really have anything to say to help you guys, but I just wanted to say that i'm so sorry you are going through this. I hope things get better for you :)
I thought I'd never fund anyone that understood how it feels to be accused of selfishness. Everything you said got to me deeply, I was even more happy when you addressed that you'll be discussing eating disorders. I'm bulimic, I have been that way for over 2 years now.. everyone that finds out about this (including my own mother) thinks I'm being silly and stupid and of course..SELFISH! I'm truly thankful for your bravery, not anyone can admit going through depression, especially in front of millions of views, and you're doing it all for us. thank you.
My mom always gave me the "look at my problems. you want my mortgage, I should be the one that's depressed." I kinda hate this. It invalidates my feelings.
It's like they're undermining our problems.
i have all the symptoms of depression and have [attempted] to kill myself, but ive never gotten help and i still break down and relapse very often due to my parents being arrogant assholes, saying all the things he said. i go through bullying, sexual and gender identity questioning, and 'overthinking' life and my future, im having to deal with this all on my own.
but you help me mr repzion and your self help videos are inspiring and amazing that i feel much better, thank you
I know how you feel. I use to live in a really bad environment so I decided I would move when we had the option and we did. I thought life would get better and it did for a while but sometimes I remember all that pain and I start to cry.
Autumleaf826 im glad you had the option to leave a negative environment, and that you can feel better now !
hopefully all that negativity can be left behind and you can forget about them, overtime. just remember your in a better situation, and the pain can go away.
Hi-c it's great that his videos are helping you, but you might consider taking anti depressants as well. this is not something you can fix on your own. Your brain needs these pills to make your thoughts yet again more positive.
Jane Willow i have to try and get through it by myself since im not able to get anti depressants hh.
Why not?
Well said. A while back ago I used to be like that, not understanding what depression was. Then my first break up hit my life and then I finally understood. No one should ever have to go trough this state of mind, its horrible and probably the worst thing I have ever had to go through.
You just spoke my life right there especially on the part of being called self-centered.
This video gave me goosebumps...
I've always loved following your videos because I often agree with what you say. I can't wait to see you get deeper into this subject. I'm often depressed and it really gets in the way of things.
Thanks for talking about this.
I got so emotional and started to well-up when Daniel started shouting those things. I've never been diagnosed with depression but hearing those things, the things that many people who are depressed must hear everyday, made me so sad.
There should be more education on depression and mental health in schools so people are aware form a young age that it's ok to feel that way if they do, it's not their fault and there is help available.
I wake up quite allot not wanting to get up because I have to take on another lonely day and I've always been told too "get over it " or "man up" It's good to know I'm not the only one who gets told they are stupid for being depressed.
Holy fuck this video really hit home.. Especially those social stigmas. Literally the most relateable video I've ever seen. Thank you so much, Daniel :)
It's getting worse and worse every day. I can only stick up for myself as long as I can until I go weak. Something in me just kinda snaps and suddenly I fall apart. One moment I think I'm innocent and in the next I can't stop blaming myself for everything that's happening. I tell myself I make everyone's life a living hell and I'm a waste of space. I can see myself saying these things but I can't stop it. I'm afraid that one day I'll be so deep in that state that I'll forget about my old self and just remain unhappy and in a constant state of depression. It's fucking scary and I feel crazy. I am too scared to tell anyone about it, because I'm afraid they'll think I'm using it as an excuse for being so emotional. And that I'd be using it to get out of any mistakes I make. But I just want them to understand me, even though I can barely understand myself. I tell my mom countless times that I need help but all she says is, "I went through it, and I know what depression is. You don't."
i feel like this too, not the same because you are a unique beautiful person and no one can feel exactly as you, but i suffer from multiple disorders and i get so tired of explaining myself, feeling like any minute ill black out and not remember anything, i get so paranoid that it paralyzes me, im so beat down that i have no choices left. my only choice is to be strong, if i can make it through this hell (atheist here) so can you, talk it out, you can add me on google plus then i can add u on any media, we all need support, i believe what mr. rep says is true, we need to make this known, no body deserves to feel alone or not have help.
Believe me or not, I was in the exact same place about a year ago. If your mother doesn't listen, seriously get someone else. I thought I was crazy. I tried so hard to /not/ disappoint people, and myself, and everything stressed me out to the point I would end up having nervous breakdowns in the middle of my classroom. I started self harming by the age of 12 (only once on the hand) and then two years later started again. I know have several scars on my right arm, and two on my hips. I went so deep into it I wanted to die. I planned it out, too, and the day I wrote my suicide letter, I planned on over-dosing. My mom found it and I got sent to a mental health place, and I'm on Celexa. It helps with my depression and a little with my anxiety. I'm only 14, and I have gone through a lot, and I know you have too. My point being, you will end up like me if you don't tell someone. I don't care if it's your school counselor, or even just a friend you know cares about you a lot. (Thanks to Haven, my mom decided to look through my bag that day, and I really am relieved for that) Another thing, try so so hard not to be so hard on everything. For example, you fall in the hallway, and you think "oh, my god, you're so fucking clumsy. Everyone hates me." Just think "At least I didn't break anything."
Good luck on this war you're fighting inside. I'm winning so far...now onto my anxiety..
noodle100100 Never understood the self harm thing.I just played games lol
I've had thoughts about wanting to die before, but luckily I'm terrified of the subject of death so I've never been suicidal. Also, I'm scared of knives and anything sharp. I'm lucky. Yeah, I definitely need to see the positive in everything, even if it's really shitty. Thinking about getting a tattoo related just to help. I think it'd be really nice.
ChewyBlob Games Ah, what'd they say?
I think you almost made me cry at the beginning, but I had the instinct to hide it, though I'm alone.
The intro made me cry.
Especially the last one.
Damn, that hurt.
I hear that a lot.
Damn, every time I hear sh*t like this I feel better about myself for never being depressive.
i cant stop crying while watching this video bc he is the first person who understand me
This hurts
extremely
I've heard all of this daily, and it hit hard as hell.
Thanks, Repzion.
Wow dude. That was hard to watch. Not because it was "cringeworthy" or anything but because I could feel what you are feeling. Some people just can't get through their thick skulls that people are different.
I wish I could help you get better! All I can do is send you a virtual hug! Keep on rockin'!
Sounds like a lot of old demons showed up during this vid.
I have always had respect for you but now I have an even greater respect for you
I hope that one day I'll be able to get through a week without falling apart after trying to so hard to keep it together again. There are times when I think I'm doing okay but then the smallest mistake I make will result in a self loathing breakdown. I wish it was easier to get help
This video really hit a home run for me. I've actually heard the bullcrap "you're so selfish" line so much even one time from a psychiatrist intern and eventually it somehow made me believe that I really was narcissistic for a while until I started watching your videos. I can't tell you how many times I go out with my friends even though deep down inside I don't want to and then when I'm there I'm putting on the brave face. Only one of my friends truly understands me and know that if I'm out too much that I need alone time to recharge myself.
I've isolated myself so much, that I almost forgot there were other people.
You're just amazing, dude.
I appreciate the message in this video. Thank you.
"this is about you", its comforting to hear that you're focused on the viewer and not just speaking about your own struggles, not that that's bad but we can sort of grasp the idea of what we can do for ourselves. I may not be wording this right but, I'm happy you focused on the viewer.
Your description of social stigmas regarding depression was incredibly accurate. I knew you were only giving examples, but I've heard them so often from people I trusted, I cringed and already felt like crying. This is so important to talk about. I'm looking forward to your future videos on this.
Well I am happy to say I have depression, but thanks to my family they just KNOW that i'm not depressed. And yeah my family does that all the time "How can you be depressed? Your life isn't bad."
It is such a strain on my mind... especially with all the mental problems that just lead my hand to the shotgun every day.
Guns are illegal in my country, so how many times would I have to stab myself with a knife?
I'm having a really bad day and that yelling thing you did just broke me :(
Want me to fix you? :)
***** I've been broken for like 20 years... I didn't mean this video "broke me" like that, I just meant it made me burst out in uncontrollable sobbing. I'm still broken though, with no real way of getting better. I'm the kind of person that would like to live forever, like millions of years, or billions or whatever, but of course that's impossible. I used to think that suicide was the stupidest thing ever, but I have come to learn that it can be useful. For instance, my roommate/renter no longer has to pay me the 7 months rent he owed, or pay back the gold dollars he stole from me to buy food with when he had no job, and he doesn't have to deal with diabetes anymore, or me mistreating him. Because he bled out in my house. He was even so kind as to dispose of all his nasty underwear before he did it so I wouldn't have to when I was going through all his stuff and cleaning up the blood. He barely had any friends and I'm sure they've all gotten over it by now. I'm just thinking what would happen if I killed myself (I could even do it in the same room as him), I mean, hardly anyone would care and then they'd get over it. I don't talk to anyone in my family. No kids. I really don't have a reason to be alive, all I do is sit around watching videos all day and being miserable and hating myself and everyone else.
***** don't even consider your "real" life to be started till you're at least 18 to 25 years old, and dont expect that you have to have found someone you love till then either (or much later). At 16 you just have to follow all the rules till you can get away from parents, school, stupid schoolkids, and all that junk.
***** Well, excuse me for trying to help.
the social stigma of depression is the reason I haven't told the people I'm closest to about my depression
Those first 20 seconds alone rung true for me for so many situations.
Thank you so much for making this and taking the step that other UA-camrs wouldn't dare, even though a lot of then have suffered with this, but refuse to talk about it to raise awareness and help others.
Thanks so much :)
I'm looking forward to watching the Suicidal Depression video.
Another thoughtful video. Keep up the good work.
I finally went and got help today, because of you and your ''why self-harm is not the answer'' vlog. There's a massive stigma attached to mental illness, and you're one of the only very popular UA-camrs that actually addresses these issues. Perfect timing on today's vid too, thanks for being awesome. :)
I do love your entertainment videos (like Deadpool and anime recommendations and such) but at the end of the day I definitely come for your more serious videos. Stuff like this is why I'm subscribed
I'm so glad you're branching out into different topics within mental health though, because I feel like a lot of people do have comorbid disorders and it's important to address all of them, not just depression
Have you tried exercising? It's like a natural antidepressant. I understand what you mean man. I get as depressed as you describe yet I find regular exercise greatly alleviates if not almost completely eliminates any depression I might otherwise feel. It's not as potent on my anxiety/paranoia however, though I feel it makes my anxious feelings a little more bearable. Taking care of your body does wonders for the mind as a whole.
It can, and it does work for some people as you said it works for you. But, for others, exercise is only part of the solution. Sometimes people do genuinely need to be on medication as well.
joannamarierogue . Exercise is not the only way to take care of the body, it's only one piece in the puzzle of health.
Adress the Issue OF ADHD, Or ADD. Struggles of Dealing with those types of disorders
I'm so glad you posted this video! I've been going through a really dark phase recently, and this really reached out to me.
Can I just say thank you. Not many other UA-camrs would do this and personally I find this helps. Having someone who knows what its like to feel like everyday you're drowning and everyone is just watching. Three years ago, I was diagnosed with depression and social anxiety and the fact that no one understood didn't help. Mental health needs to tackled and not just ones like Depression but other ones too. Our generation needs to feel free to talk about it without feeling like their talking about taboo. So thank you again.
Love the Onision ads on Reps videos!
they're not HIS ads, they're youtubes ads based on what you watch
I seen a McDonalds ad on an Onision video years ago, lol.
can you talk about personality disorders?
Thank you for making this video. I have severe depression and anxiety. There's a lot of sigma with mental health. I just thank you for doing this video.
I've been struggling with depression since last year and it has come to the point of occasional self harm.
I have been watching your channel for quite some time now, and I'm really glad that you'll be doing more of these eel help videos because they do help people a lot.
Thanks.
How can you sit in a room full of people and feel alone?
Isn't that... like...
Impossible?
You're surrounded by people! You aren't alone!
You silly crazy people and your wacky imaginations.
You make great entertainment at the freak shows :)
You are joking, right? Dude really, if you're serious, why are you trying to make people hate themselves more that they already do? Really, bro, not funny al all.
You know he doesn't mean alone in the sense that there are no people around but more as in there is nobody that will help them create or provide them with emotional solidity.
You have no idea of a person with a depression. You had never ever to struggle through this. So please, DON'T judge this kind of view, because you can't.
Ninurtah RS Both. To troll on a subject like this takes a hell of a fucking idiot. >.>
.....you just do......*cries* happens a lot .....
I'm just going to say this. If you really believe you need help, go seek professional help. Don't listen to someone on the internet who is only preying off your problems to make money.
Give me a break. You saw a decent person and got jealous.
The Tomoko avatar was very fitting for that comment.
Okay. Sounds like a plan. I'll be sending you my bills for the sessions and medication. Oh? What's that? You don't want to pay for it? Then shut the fuck up and let me take free advice without your ill-informed complaint.
Every one of those social stigma's was said to me, most by my ex-boyfriend. He actually left me because he said he couldn't take how negative i was and he couldn't take my mental illness anymore. It hurt me so much cause he became the reason i wanted to get help and get better. But he didn't understand that i wasn't going to get better overnight. He thought i was gonna get better within two weeks and i tried so hard to explain it wasn't going to happen. It breaks my heart knowing that more people have gone through this. People aren't educated enough in this area or other mental issues and it pisses me off to no end which i think takes part in those stupid social stigma's. It is a real thing and people need to be informed on them and learn how to just address these things with the people around them who maybe suffering. This video brought me to tears and Rep you seriously are an amazing UA-camr and i have changed so much and morphed into a better person since watching your videos. Just thank you for this video and thank you for everything
Less than a minute into this video and I already feel like crying. Shit.
I've been on antidepressants for roughly two months now. Still waiting to see the results because these aren't the hardcore stuff, just something to make my worst moments more bearable.
I once saw someone describe depression in a way that I find very accurate: "Depression is like wanting to go home when you're already there". That's how I feel like most of the time anyway. This is an important topic that has to be talked about. Thank you for making this video Daniel. I hope you're having a good day.
***** Thank you for your concern, I appreciate the link! I added it to my watch later playlist for future reference.
I'm currently on citalopram which seems to be a SSRI drug but I haven't noticed any addictive features yet. I've tried different ways to self treat depression since I first noticed the symptoms but nothing I tried worked. So I decided to ask for help from psychiatrists and psychotherapists and I attended therapy sessions multiple times. However, when my situation got to the point where I felt like I was losing control I talked to my doctors and we agreed that the best course of action would be starting medication. Citalopram isn't the strongest SSRI out there and my doctor told me that it's the most common medicine to be recommended and so they gave me a prescription for it.
I really hoped I didn't have to start taking drugs for my depression but sometimes there is no other choice. Of course I could have said no but if I did I don't think I would be here writing this comment. I was feeling miserable, I still am, but even the thought of the fact that my depression is being taken of gives me strength.
Also your user name is pretty cool. Thumbs up!
You inspire me so much. People around my estate or in my classes make fun of me for being depressed, it's not funny that just makes me more depressed. I can't stay inside and just play my PS3 or listen to music because my parents say it's bad for me, oh yeah? But being made fun of over a serious problem isn't? I'm done with friends. I'm done with being made fun of. I'm just gonna keep my head down and never speak unsless spoken to. This video has seriously helped me, it has showed me that I am not the only one who has to deal with this. Neighbours' kids pretend to be depressed when they don't get a new video game. That is just insulting. Thank you so much, Daniel.
I've just adopted the "DTA" attitude. Don't trust anybody, because they'll eventually stab you in the back.
Mr Repzion, I'm so beyond happy you're doing this on your channel; you're going to help a lot of people, and already have started to. This completely exhibits the fact its not about greed, that you actually want to help people, and its insane, because there isn't a lot of people like that. Thank you so much.
Hey Daniel. Im a 17 year old boy dealing with chronic depression as well. I was diagnosed with it this year, but have been dealing with it since I was 8. I go to psychology twce a week and am in between medications right now. I just want to say that this is why I love your channel. It helps so much to know there are other people going through this and that im not alone. It especially helps when people like you speak out about it and spread the word about depression. You rock. Keep being awesome.
I used to think that depression was a joke and I'm sorry to admit it, but I've said "stop being so sad". And it's wrong. Not because I have it, but because it's the wrong way to go about it. Shooting someone down will not make you better than them.
I have struggled with mental health issues for over ten years. I am happy to hear that you care as much as you do to bring some of the issues to light. I am pretty estranged from family due to a perception of "character flaws" with my mental stuff. I am doing fairly well alone, but I have ups and downs and today was a down day, so I am happy to see this vlog. I subbed to your tumblr too.
honestly Daniel, you're the only reason I still believe people can be kind and thoughtful, because you understand, so thanks for that. you're fucking awesome.
Thank you, Daniel. I'm thinking about showing this to my parents (who don't know about my depression) because this the best way a person has explained it. You're amazing and keep up the good work x
At the beginning, when he was talking about what people say, reminded me of when I was first diagnosed with depression. My mother was pissed off at me because she though it would go away over night. And as the months went by, she'd just get even more pissed. And when one of my counselor said it might take years to get over, she went ballistic. I absolutely HATE when people think you can get over overnight. Gosh.
Thank you for this. I wouldn't say I have chronic depression, though it constantly fluctuates from feeling great from a week to months to crashing and feeling suicidal again and causing self harm. There's no cause for either, it just goes back and forth for no reason. I have felt the things you described and I do find much more comfort knowing that others understand. I really appreciate your videos and your cause.
I look forward to your future videos. You are an extremely talented orator. It's been interesting to go back and look at your older videos and see how much you've grown. I hope you continue to grow and flourish as you have been.
Every video I watch of yours makes me feel like you're really talking directly to me. It hits me right in the heart, in a good way.
This is possibly one of the best things I have watched. I had been struggling with depression for a couple of years but last year it got to the point of me not even being able to get out of bed. Everything in my life stopped. I barely went to school, I stopped seeing my friends. I stopped living my life. No friends understood and all they asked was why I was depressed. When I responded I didn't know I got accused of being a liar. They made me feel as if I had to justify myself so I pushed them all away. I stopped having a phone and I deleted every social networking site I had. I saw a private councillor who helped me a lot and I still see her too this day. Eventually after not attending my school almost never I moved schools (still in no contact with my 'friends') however I was made to redo year 10 (grade 11 to Americans I think) and still people laugh at me for moving to the year below. Anyhow I still struggle but on the whole have a better positive mentality. The best piece of advice I could give to someone with depression is to be selfish. Only think for yourself and concentrate on you and what you want and need. I am now friends with some of the people from my old school. There are a small handful who overtime understood or more just accepted what I was going through. The other half think I'm a two faced bitch who decided to just one day cut out all my friends from my life. However if your friends are constantly asking you why you are depressed and are saying 'but I don't understand' tell them to stop trying to understand something that not even yourself understands. Ask them to just accept it and to be there for you if you need them. Otherwise you may also end up losing your best friends as I did
I'm lucky enough to have never had to endure depression and I can barely imagine how anyone feels while depressed. I just wanted to say that Dan is a real inspiration to me. Even though he has had plenty of bad shit happen to him, he got though it and is now in a better, healthy place. Showing that you can get though whatever it is you've been through, but that you should get help to do it. Family, friends, therapists, medicine can all be a great help to cure your depression but you need to let someone know for them to help you. Never give up hope.
I get depressed every time I think of my grandfather... He died in 2003... Last year, I was in school in Health Class and I talked about it... I had to get up, I had to get out of the room. I went outside and curled up next to the water fountains and cried to myself. The Health teacher and another teacher came up to me to find out if I was ok. My teacher let me stay out of class until I was better. This wasn't the first time I broke down crying in school... Another time I laid my head down and cried. Thanks to the teachers and a few of the students in my school, I never felt alone. Right now I'm tearing up because I'm thinking about my grandfather... I loved him so much, and he was so kind... I don't understand why he died... Why someone like him died... I miss him so much...
This is one of the most amazing videos you've made and I've struggled with depression (and anxiety) for a while now (as well as shitloads of suicidal thoughts and self-harming that i've finally managed to overcome) and I've gotten help and I'm on the road to recovery. Your videos are wonderful and you're such a relatable and all-around great person. xx
It's hard to just... feel useless everyday and then just hear people tell you: "you should be happy. Stop being depressed" and you just can't because you just CAN'T stop being like that... thanks for talking about that... it helped a lot
I deal with depression on my own, usually it's fine but every now and then I'll have those days where I just look around and just realize I don't want to do it any more. I don't even know what causes it but it's there and it isn't gonna go away so I just try and deal with it, but I found release in music and playing instruments. It saves me from self destruction and outbreaks in a healthy way. Thank you Daniel, keep this stuff up.
This video got me tearing up - the first one of yours ever since "MrRepzions rises". Thanks for putting it out there and maybe making a few people think. I really like the ideas you have for your channel. To be honest the videos in which you talk about these things are most of the time the only ones I keep watching till end.So I'm really excited about the change!
I have some firends who suffer depression, and while I never said these things directly to them, I thought about those lines in my mind... And I feel SO sorry for having thought them. Thanks for making this video and making me understand the perspective of a person who suffers from depression, Daniel.
Wow, I've never cried at a UA-cam video before so this is a first. Having depression and anxiety for 2 years whilst being pushed away and it's just 'girl hormones' really ticks me off and I'm so speechless at this video. I just feel like I totally understand you... Amazing video:'(
This video hit so close to home I started crying. Daniel, you said you were in the process of making a more serious video on depression and eating disorders and believe me when I say your probably gonna have me and many others sobbing by the end of it.
Today I watched one video from you the first time. It was this one. I cried for the first time in 5 years. I'm in a depression too, but not in therapy yet. I was never so brave to visit a doctor, but anyway.
You're amazing. Keep doing this. I'm very interested in this kind of videos and I bet that there are thousands of people who are too.
I have (disgnosed) severe depression as well as severe social phobia, have been in and out of psych wards since age 13, have three failed suicide attempts, grew up practically alone, and I am now psychologist for veterans and soldiers from the marines. Your future is bright, no matter what. I promise.
"You just want attention" is my favorite line from people, I actually heard it from one of the staff when I was in middle school. In hindsight I think she was partially correct, I was trying to call for help the only way I knew how at the time and typically people who want help are trying to get attention.
That rant in the middle of the video are nearly the exact words my parents said when they saw my scars. Thank you for making this video it's good to know that somebody understands

I suffer with anxiety and depression, I haven't always been depressed but I've had anxiety for as long as I can remember and it's really hard. Nobody seems to understand the struggles of anxiety and the battles people with it suffer everyday just to not completely freak out and so they appear normal. I sometimes get scared of being excited because all the physical feelings of excitement sort of feel similar to anxiety. It goes a lot deeper than that but it is really difficult and people never seem to take it seriously.
you hit depression on the head completely. I could not have described it better myself
What I've found helps with my depression and anxiety is eating a diet that consists largely of fruit (between 50 and 90 percent, myself). Fruit has fructose in it which translates into glucose in the body and gives cells the sugar they need to function. This allows your brain to release more dopamine because the cells are all able to function at full capacity, so you get over feelings of depression and anxiety faster because your brain immediately knows to start releasing "happy" chemicals to make you feel better because it has to energy to do so. :)
It sucks to deal with depression. 6 months ago I was diagnosed with chronic depression. This video is honestly the most blunt video that I've ever watched about depression/mental health issues. And I love it. I've heard "why can't you just stop being depressed?! You've got a great life.!" So many god damn times that I want to scream. I can't seem to understand why people think that depression is chosen and that I can get rid of it over night! I could be standing in an auditorium full of over 1000 kids at my school and I'd still feel empty, isolated, like my mind was being picked apart. It sucks. But videos like this will make a difference.
I've had depression and social anxiety for a while now. I would wake up everyday and not want to get out of bed and not want to go to school. I would cut and everyday I wanted to kill myself. Everyday. I never knew why I was so depressed because I had everything I could've asked for. I would always tell myself "There are people who have it worse than you. They have a reason to be sad and you don't." Saying this though would make things worse. I finally told my parents that I wanted to go to a therapist and now I'm a lot better than I was before. I don't want to kill myself and I don't feel sad or upset everyday like I used to. I'm so glad that someone is addressing depression and other mental disorders and watching this video helped me feel better because knowing that there are other people out there who may feel the same way you do and understand what you going through can help. Thank you so much
and btw it's totally ok to get flustered/emotional :) that makes it all around more powerful and has a bigger impact and really makes your viewers think. can't wait to see what you have in store! mental health is definitely an issue that needs so much more awareness
Yup that's me , feeling empty inside .
People have always asked me " what are you depressed about, you have a family" or "a roof over your head" but you can have every thing in the world and still be depressed. So what I do is I just put on a fake smile and say "ok" to avoid the backlash I get from other people. People would also always say that there are people starving in some places , and I just say "well how does that help my situation" . Does me hearing other people in pain in various parts of the world help me feel better.
I hate when people say that you can't be sad/depressed because people have it worse than you. Love your vids!
I suffer from several mental illnesses. One of which (Schizophrenia) I was diagnosed with less then a year ago. Videos like this are great to see, because public awareness needs to be made on just how debilitating these mental health issues can be. From first hand experience I can say that it can truly be a living nightmare to have to live with these issues daily. I still need to take things one day at a time. Not blaming yourself for something you can't help is what's most important. People need to be educated.
