What if you don’t KNOW if your okay. Like you feel sad constantly but it goes away every time you hang out with people special to you. Oh shit I just saw number 3 nvm that’s totally me
@@nightmare8941 well wouldn’t you be too if you knew that your choices ultimately meant nothing and everything you have ever amounted to can be wiped away at the beck and call of some external omnipotent force?
Also dude who made the comment, sorry we took the spotlight off your comment and onto sans, just remember that you aren’t a joke, and that you’re special, k?
Loved the omori references, the deep lore in the game, the history and everything, that you don't understand anything until the end, the changes between reality and real life, that just one thing can break you... the more you hold it and don't let it free.
Ah... SUNNY... It's just you... I'm glad you came. It's... it's so good to see you. It came to you that day... The day MARI died. When MARI... When MARI fell... You... you couldn't have done it. It was something behind you... wasn't it? You're a good person, SUNNY. I know you're a good person! A good person wouldn't do something like that... After all this time... you've finally come back for me. But... tomorrow... you're going away. H-HOW COULD YOU DO THAT?!?! That's mean, SUNNY. That's so mean! Ah... there's something all around us now. Can you see it, SUNNY? There's no way out of this, is there? Where are you going?! Stop trying to leave me! S-stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! I don't... want to be... alone... not again. You... can't... leave me... again...
All I ever wanted was to be listened to....not interrupted, not ridiculed, not blamed or even dismissed. Thats all I wanted...but I don't deserve that.
Dunno if you'll see this, but. I know how you feel. You deserve it but you've been shown and told by the people around you that you're undeserving. They, are the undeserving ones. I... Don't have all the answers, but, move on as best as you can. Those who hurt you might share your blood, they might call you friend, but if they will not listen to you, will ignore you and cast you aside. They do not care for you, they only care for the image of you they have in their head. That said. Sometimes, those people do care, but while they listen they cannot understand you. I know, a dear friend of mine wished me nothing but the best but I couldn't feel seen by them. As if they didn't truly understand. And... Even if they don't. If they stick by you, love you all the same, and want better for you. Don't throw them away yourself. In fact, it took me awhile to realize most of my pain came from myself, my own self loathing and hatred. I was undeserving. I was worthless. I should have just given up three years back when I had the chance. But. I, was also wrong. It's not an easy road, but it's one well worth walking.
Hero: The "perfectionist" Basil: The nervous reclusiveness Kel: The "smiler" Sunny: The cold reclusiveness Aubrey: The person who believes nobody cares (this is it's own type (in my opinion) of depression that is very combative and blamepushing (basically tries to find someone to blame for a situation without being able to truly accept it as it is) honestly Aubrey as a whole is a very interesting character) (Honestly Omori doesn't make the tragedy the spotlight point and rather focuses on the current mindset of a person faced with such a situation and how the reaction can differ from each person)
“If you are depressed, if you are anxious. You are not weak You are not crazy You’re not in the main, a machine of broken parts You’re a human being with unmet needs”
It's kind of funny because I once said very recently that I feel like a broken piece of a machine, something that keeps breaking if you don't fix it right
Omori spoilers I love the Omori references, they connect so well with the topic, as mental illness is the main part of the game. 3:04 also could have been Aubrey, who was suffering not only from Mari’s death, but also her father and friends deserting her. She covered up her depression with outbursts towards other people and becoming a delinquent, which matches up with the aggressive humor and being a bully in general!
I hope y'all know that someone out there loves you. Even if you dont know it, or they dont know it. Keep fighting, keep surviving. Y'all a good, real good. Maybe even the best.
@@PA78962 Yes. Our culture is smile obsessed. I rarely smile and far too often have a coworker say to me, "Smile!" or put their hands near their mouth and with the thumb and index finger make and knob turning motion then smile.
My mask started crumbling a little more than two years ago. I used to be so good at hiding the pain, now it cracks in little ways everywhere and I hope the wrong people don't notice. But at the same time... I hope the right people do notice.
I feel like that too, i myself have adhd and i push my feelings away by playing video games, it works for a little and i try to help others as much as i can in both virtual and real world, i have been pointed at recently alot and its been degrading so far ive only talked about this to a single friend of mine, my former girlfriend im glad that she's still there for me even though were not together anymore, im sorry if i made this about myself @Aceris but remember that your not alone in this
To me that's normal Im the type to joke around whenever i hear the 12th letter of the english alphabet and be like: "NO WAY IS THAT L FROM DEATH NOTE ?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!!!??!??" Helps a lot to cope with feelings of dissatisfaction caused by severe or less severe poverty,which is common in 3rd world countries like at the Balkan peninsula And if ur wondering,yes,poverty can have bad mental effects as you see yourself grow up without things all your friends have and you can get mocked for it as well My parents weren't ever really supportive for my passion in video games and never provided me with such things,whereas my friends did and regularly gamed with each other Yet they had the funds for other things So yes,joking in an incredibly unfunny way and making everything,even myself,a joke,helps me cope as it steers me away from frustrations and rage that are caused and amplified by my dissatisfaction
@@statickitten havent gotten one in 8 years. I really want one, specially when ive struggled with depression for over a year now. Ive hided it and not telling my friends or family about it anymore.

you are so spot on with this. Smiling all day at work, saying "no problem" but really not being able to take on one more thing. check. Self deprecating sense of humor. check. thinking people really don't like you, your not good enough, your not deserving. check. Thanks for being you, and make us fell "normal". Really, thank you!
Quick tip. If you smile to hide it. It does absolutely nothing. So smile because of the small things. Be it that its sunny outside and the weathers nice or you get to spend time with friends or that you got lucky and something that could of happened didn't
1: their surroundings burn, yet they smile(fake smiles) 2:vague excuses when invited out("oh I'm busy") 3:aggressive humor(insulting others) /self-deprecating humor(insulting themselves 4:use all energy during the day, and have none when they are at home 5:high levels of empathy 6: when asked about they're problems, they give vague excuses (oh I'm tired) (sorry if I got any wrong I tried ok qwq)
I know it's not healthy to self-diagnose but I might have depression. Most of masking types in the video are the same. I recently found Omori and it made me think a lot, about me, about people, about my feelings and my ways to cope. I'm thankful that you were able to help me open my eyes. People always said that the first step is to acknowledge the problem
A self diagnosis of depression is pretty valid in my unprofessional opinion, so long as you’re being honest and taking it seriously. Depression isn’t very hard to self diagnose, at least not compared to more complex mental illnesses such as OCD, Bipolar, or Borderline Personality. However if you do believe you have depression, I highly recommend seeking a therapist to help you.
I have two degrees on the topic, and self diagnosis can be a useful tool that encourages you to seek help. Even if you misdiagnosed yourself, if it gets you to seek help, it's a good thing. Like this video shows, it's not always clear from the outside that something is wrong. Sometimes you are the only one who will know until you go out for help. The other commenter is right though and some things are harder to self-diagnosenthan others, especially personality disorders and things like DDD where altered perception or lack of self-perception to protect oneself stop the person from noting key details.
if you do (or did as i am seeing this 6 months later) think you have depression you should get therapy because it is truly hard as someone who once had suicidal depression (100% i tried to kms luckily was not depressed enough to try it hard enough) and maybe had depression again a not so long time ago (i am good now... i think) i know it is HARD even if it may not be actual depression and just a self-diagnose it may be something near enough or as bad so most definitely get therapy (truly i hope you already did or you are fine already equally maybe get therapy or talk about it with someone anyways it leaves a mark but this mark can be healed a bit so it doesn't affects you as much)
it makes me very happy to see omori used as a medium for this content, i think its a beautifully crafted game with tons of nuance and relatability in the characters. playing through it reminded me of how i came to terms with some of my own issues, and even refined my view on them a little. thanks for making this great video!
Not noticing when a loved one is suffering is one of my biggest fears. I never want to be the person who missed the signs and end up losing someone important to me. This is a great video to combat that so thank you 💜
Same. Scares me to think that someone in my life who looks extremely happy and functional could be dealing with a lot of deep and dark things that they aren’t telling me and that one day I’ll just find out when it’s too late and hate myself for it because I didn’t do anything. Like I always want to help people, but when I don’t know how to approach it, I just keep it to myself, because I’d rather not help it all then help and mess it up. And I also don’t know how to make myself look like an approachable person so people feel that they can approach with their problems because helping people makes me feel good and I’m always willing to help you with something.
I like this artwork. My oldest brother gave off some of these signs. I didn't recognize them though. It's a tragedy but a lot of the signs for this and other mental illnesses covered by this channel are probably overlooked until people are older, and it dawns on them through reflection. I didn't even know I had any problems until I came to this channel. I hope knowledge of these issues becomes ubiquitous.
So happy you like this animation style! and we are also glad that you found our channel helpful. I agree, mental health is still being over-looked so much :(
As someone who has depression, I can confirm that these are indeed mostly true, at least for me. Whenever someone asks me what's wrong, I simply fake a smile and murmur something like "I'm tired" or "I didn't get a lot of sleep last night". Every day, I go to school, fake my smiles and laughter, and then I get home and I have to do the same for my parents and neighbors. In the early mornings, at 12am-3:45am, I let myself sit there in my bed and numbly cry each night. All of my humor is self-deprecating, and my mother finds it slightly concerning. If you see someone with these signs, you don't have to do much. Just give them a smile and see if they need a hug.
That’s me except I’m the definition of alone besides my pup I view everyone as the enemy and I view any emotion that I feel is weakness. Never again will someone take advantage of me. I also fake my smiles and laughter. I struggle to get sleep like right now and I don’t see life as worth it anymore.
I'm really glad that you used Omori as symbolism for this video since it already incorporates themes like depression into the game. Thank you for making this lovely video!
as someone who has (and still does) suffer from depression, it really does help if people check if your ok, even if we say we aren't, its still reassuring. we dont get much sleep a lot of the time and it feels like there's a growing weight on our shoulders that doesnt go away, just gets heavier. we look away, try not to make eye contact and try not to get the attention to us. we are in pain we just dont show it, its like we are in an endless void and a world full of people that dont care about us at the same time. we feel we dont matter. if someone is suffering from depression, please help them. its an unbearable pain that wont leave.
I can only admit to that. My life is the same and even when I put all my energy together and open up to someone I always get rejected. Than there always come things like "youre overreacting" or "you still smile so i cant be that bad" or "think about (put in some random bad thing) those people". I dont really know what to do anymore. Going to a professional would be good but I cant afford that. The only thing I can do is try to fix my soul by myself and hey, I managed to get away from suicidal all by myself, maybe I can fix the rest too. I still hope that things will get better, but its fading away and I dont know where I end up when its gone. For now... I life a "normal" life while my soul is crying for help. For everyone else with depression: I feel with you For everyone without depression: Listen to people when they open up to you and take it seriously. And when you cant do something for them, give them a hug and say everything is fine. It helps wonders.
@@naberius9232mm, la verdad hablo español pero lo intentare, im sorry, i dont.. know you? Pero digo but you can do this, i just wait to you feel better, and please, search help, and this part is in spanish, y aunque no hable tu lengua al 100%, puedo comunicarme contigo, esto es serio pero se que puedes lograrlo, las personas que les importas de seguro estan preocupadas por ti, be stronger, y aunque nunca sabre como es tener deprecion, solo espero que te sientas mejor lo mas pronto posible, la verdad yo apoyo la idea de que busques ayuda pero... uff espero que se entienda porque esta parte es en español, haz lo que puedas para superar todo eso 😟, me dan pena las personas con deprecion porque se que eso puede ser doloroso despues de toda la informacion posible, pero solo espero que logres superarlo, ya no se que mas decir pero espero apoyarte
I can confirm I relate to all of these. For a long time I have wished I was absent from life. The depression has caused me to feel suicidal, to self-harm and I've tried to end it twice. I see no hope. You do an amazing job, the world needs more people like yourselves.
@@pdd8168 Asking why did you fail at suicide is EXTREMELY WRONG!! You don't know what they are going through and you also need to think before you hit reply. I hope you are feeling better, please find an outlet. May it be creative a spark a little happiness in your life, or start jounaling it really helps to release thise negative feelings on paper or even a computer or a smartphone. I do mine in Google keeps. Just an example. If you haven't heard it today: I love you, and you have a purpose!! ❤
Its like an unrelenting gray cloud of fog. Not fear or sadness, just a wave of numbness that pushes the fear, anger, or sadness to a place it doesnt belong, a level it should never reach. A walk through life becomes a slog, and a slog a death march. You are not alone, even when you are. Try writing down the good and the bad, and find some outlet. I know its easier said than done but it worked for me. Much love and all the best.
This is coming from someone that never considered themselves depressed or anything of the sorts. I always thought that this is life, and I kind of accepted that. And then I watched this video randomly and all of the signs on this list are just on point in my life. I watched this and when the video ended I just cried. I don't know why. I don't feel depressed (not that I know exactly how to diagnose it), I've been alone for 5 years now, at work I put on that mask and be funny and energetic and stuff and when I get home the whole act drops and I just... don't do anything really. I have a hobby that I love but I don't want to do it if I don't feel like it, which I rarely do these days. Yesterday I finally decided to tell my crush (my coworker) how I feel and I got rejected. She was nice about it, she assured me that it wouldn't get weird between us going forward, and I just put the mask on again and pretend it never happened. I got invited to drink some with my collegues and I came up with the excuse that I already got an appointment with my sister, which I clearly lied about because I'm writing this at home at this moment. And this is just this week. Now, I'm not saying these are so horrible because this is just life, and I'm not excusing myself for not trying to get better mentally, because I'm trying, sort of. Again I don't really think I have depression, this is just... I don't know, sad? I don't have thoughts about not wanting to be here or something, to my standards I get drinks or go out with friends often, but it's just so hard keeping this up for some reason. Maybe I'm just deprived of love. Well whatever it is, if you are reading this sentence after all that rambling then thank you and have a wonderful morning/day/night!!! I hope everyone is doing okay!
not a doctor or anything but to me depression is not necessarily "not wanting to be here" you dont have to be suicidal to have depression... you are describing very similar feel that I had and still kindda have .. i am considering myself as being in a depression (I wouldn't do my hobbies, wouldn't go out as much or even if going out it would drain all my energy, wouldn't do anything at home (I ate pre-made food that heat up in microwave for about 6 month to tell you) had a hard time keeping my house clean cause i didn't feel like doing anything and more) take time for yourself and heal that heart and mind of yours it may take time but it's worth it ! I am finally starting to feel like i'm going out of depression after 2 years
I agree with you- i also have all of these symptoms- bt still for some reasons i don't know if I'm actually depressed or not- it just seems that everyone's going through these and this is what life is about- i mean i simply can't find any other way of living or doing usual stuffs- and tbh- i really don't even want to get out of this situation- I'm too comfy with my current condition and don't want to chng anything at all- people r saying that i need help bt i don't think so at all- i think I'm perfectly fine and this is what i should be doing-
Maybe your starting to experience symptoms OF depression instead. Being deprived of love can be one of them too. Everyone wants to be loved dont they? I hope your doing well if yiu ever see this message! ❤
@@DarkDaysInPurple Thanks for the kind message. I aggree, we are social creatures so in some form everyone craves and wants to be loved. I'm still alone, but since I made the original comment I've been trying really hard to get better mentally. I started to go to the gym months ago and go to more events, spend more time with other people and I feel much much better, but I still have some of the symptoms, often I still just sit at home doing nothing because I don't feel like doing any of the stuff I like doing. BUT I'm trying my best to get out of that mental space and, slowly though, but I feel like I'm making progress. I hope you are doing good as well! :) And I hope everyone is doing well
This was a great episode, and nice to see Omori get some representation here. Would love to see the references return again in a Trauma subject episode along with PTSD.
I hope y'all doing great and well. I'm myself fighting alone (at least in my family and they didn't want to admit that their son is mentally ill) because I have schizoaffective disorder. It's a hard world for me and the more I think the deeper I sink, slowly and surely I'm losing a grasp of reality. I don't know how long I'll be in this world, but, hey, at least I want to leave a good impression Edit: I didn't realize some of the word is rhyming haha
Time stamps💋: 1. 0:49 Their surroundings burn and yet they smile 2. 1:51 They give excuses whenever invited out 3. 2:22 Everything’s a joke and they see themselves as one too 4. 3:32 Do everything during the day and collapse at home 5. 4:04 They’ve been there before so they try to empower others 6. 4:52 Uses vague excuses when asked “whats wrong?”
I’ve been dealing depressed lately. I love when other people are happy so I always help or do things for other people. I see how it would make me feel worse if I don’t care about my own feelings, but seeing other people happy makes me happy.
I’ve never been able to socialise with people well, due to social anxiety, depression and autism so it’s always been hard for me. But this video is quite accurate, like I use self demanding humour to cope with stress. And since I’ve recently lost my closest friendship it has been really difficult for me since I struggle with even what is considered basic social interactions, these videos make me feel a bit better and helps me see things a bit better. Thanks to this wonderful channel. P.S Kel is awesome. He holds the entire plot on his back for the good ending lol
Thank you for that video. While I found myself in Depression a year ago, I can completely identify some of the signs in myself. Being with a professional therapist helps to overcome or at least live better with this. It is nice to see your work in spreading information and in this way inspire more understanding. For everyone who wants to help but don´tknow if this isn´t invading the privacy of the other one: Yes it is, but you still need it when you feel to empty to even articulate your emotions.
Depression means putting on a brave face, trying to make others laugh so your brain can make just a bit of serotonin, getting snapping angry for little to no reason, having zero energy, socially withdrawing and sometimes just feeling nothing. At least that's how it is for me.
For me, it's trying to always elevate others to a high pedestal, never wanting anybody to feel bad about themself so I can find my comfort in being the one to help. I can sometimes even be a doormat for admittedly toxic people. I know it doesn't work all the time, but as long as I can help other people, I'll always have something to smile about, whether it's a real or fake one doesn't matter.
same here, but being home alone in the morning to even night does not help at all, I constantly talk and shout at myself and anything that I think about or do...
I feel emotionless sometimes I can’t seem to feel empathy for one in my mind I can’t seem to feel bad for them, and yet I also can’t feel sad for anybody but myself. I know I’m a jerk so watching this videos help me. Thank you so much.
It is so hard seeing when someone is actually depressed because a bunch of people claim they are because they want attention. Thanks for making this video to help show the signs! Hopefully someone will notice soon.
As someone who is coming out the other end of a huge depressive episode (since the beginning of the pandemic really) I clicked on this video because I wanted to confirm that it was depression that I was struggling with and not just adhd. Man I’m thankful that I watched this. Now that I pretty much have that awful weight off my shoulders, I can attest to how true all of these are. It really does feel like a battery that never gets full. It truly feels like there is nothing you can do about it in the moment. But when I took a step back, identified what it is I was dealing with, and treated it as something that wasn’t permanent while not letting it take over my identity, I set up the perfect formula for recovery for my situation. I started letting people take me places, no matter how tired I was. The single most influential moment in this journey was when I let my sisters and Mom take me Black Friday clothes shopping. When I finally had clothes that fit and looked good, it kinda created a positive feedback loop. When I got compliments in my looks for the first time, my self-esteem returned. And it just escalated from there. Going to the movies with a girl in a few days! In my experience (this is not a catch-all piece of advice, probably won’t work for most people) the best way to get out of that depressive mood is to get outside and do stuff, no matter how little energy you have. Doesn’t matter what it is. Take a walk. Work out for once. Hell, even hang out with a group of close friends that you legitimately enjoy being around. That, paired with self-reflection and taking care of myself physically, really got me out of the place I was in. Still got ADHD, but at least I can actually see the benefits of it now.
1:04 - @Psych2Go - I love all your videos - they’re so insightful and keep up the awesome work! Just on an unrelated note, you have a beautiful voice and if you recorded music, I would so buy your album! 😍
Wow, nice Omori refrences! Anyway, I do get the 3rd reason, people making jokes to hide their true feelings, I've seen it happen at least twice before. While comedy is good to have now and then, I don't think it's healthy to use it as a solution to all of the negatives.
Oh you beautiful soul, I promise you it will pass. You will get out of this just fine. Look how wonderful your personality is... how empathic you beautiful heart is, how strong you are to face it..you will get out of it just fine. Just keep going... you are awesome.. Lots of love and best wishes! ❤
Thank you so much for making me realize what these actually are because not many people actually know me, even my siblings and my parents know like 30%-65% . I wish I could give your crew a hug.
The video hit close to home way more than I thought it should've... While I don't necessarily have depression like some people here in the comments, I tend to do all these sometimes whenever I just don't feel fine at all. The 5th one is something I really do a lot when it comes to my friends, especially since I can relate to them sometimes.
I really love that Omori was used as a theme of this video. It really goes with the topic of depression. and some of the categories listed went with the characters.
Omg, same 0:22, every time I feel like opening up and sharing with my mom. She's like, you are just telling yourself that. Have a positive mindset, not a negative mindset, and you’ll feel better soon. I just think its hard when people always assume that just because someones happy and the moment they show their true colors. They start getting questioned and getting concerned people trying to soothe their “worries/anxiousness”
I am actually going through a very depressing time throughly my life even though IM ELEVEN. basically my parents are going through a hard time and are planning to take a divorce. As you see Im also in a hard time and your video really inspired me to keep going and find help. Thank you and I hope many other people are changed by this informative video. Thank you! 🙂
Ya me too I’m 11 and I feel like I can’t talk to anyone without getting laughter at I feel like life sucked and I need to suck it up witch I thought was normal intel I saw a video and ya and I feel more and more depressed every day and it’s still going on so I can relate really well to this vidio😢
i love this side of youtube because in the psychology and emotion driven communities everyone understands eachother and you can learn from eachothers personal expieriences
I definitely can understand and relate to all of these. I lately more than ever I put on a smile and say I’m fine or okay when I’m just holding myself together until I get home. My fiancé is a great support and is very understanding, bless him. He does his best to help me and I think I’m getting better.
My favorite quote I’ve ever read that left me sobbing and choking for air because it’s so painfully true… “sometimes when I say ‘I’m ok’ I want someone to look me in the eyes hug me tight and say ‘I know you’re not’”
Your voice is so beautiful, the soft tone is fantastic to use for this type of video. The little bit of singing in the video was amazing! I bet if you went on a singing show, you’d win just like that! Thank you for making this video for others in need, as a person that has never suffered with depression this helps me to understand my friends.
As someone who is suffering from depression and serious self harm thoughts as a teen this channel is a beacon for my late night watches (I’m in the middle of one right now) when I can’t sleep wether it’s the soft pastel color and art style or the calming voice it always helps so much
So thank you so much for providing all of these I do all of these things truly and am in therapy and take meds so I can’t thank you so much for saying all of these things saying the things I can’t put to words wonderful videos (I also love all of the omori references)
It felt like my heart stopped when I heard the “I’m just tired.” I get asked if I’m okay nearly every day, and my excuse? “I’m just tired.” And of course, the stereotype of depressed people is saying “I’m fine,” so I thought it was just me. I hate the stereotypes. It makes everyone including myself too afraid to ask for help in fear of being talked down.
I noticed something familiar about these… I have gone through lots of them but have improved a lot with it… though now I’m noticing my life long crush is going through it. Wish me luck on trying to help the darling & I wish all for ones who have been going through this kind of pain, take in that you have a spirit that controls the mind not the other way around unless you let it. Allow yourself to take in the pain & give yourself the love to let it go for your entity deserves peace. From the people treating you badly to you treating others badly at times, this all stem from broken pain inside us. Broken people hurt people. Once we forgive that we merely weren’t very aware at the time & still aim to grow, remember there is no point to hold onto those broken parts of you in the past, instead allow space for your true inner spirit to flow and shine. Forgive yourself, heal yourself, love yourself the way you wish people loved you in times of pain & eventually I promise the light will shine faster than you know. We are all worth it. 🤟🏼 Also not all thoughts you have are an indication of yourself!!! Thoughts pop into your mind based on hearing/ seeing information & scenarios you’ve encountered therefore keep feeding the love & allow the negative ones to pass on by without criticizing negatively! Love & peace to you all 💖🍃
Man, I miss the days where I wouldn’t feel like I experienced any of these points. As I continue aging, I can’t help but feel like I’m further spiraling deeper. I miss peace.
I never realized that I was a totally different person during the day than at home. Now I truly know that I need to fix this and that I must relieve myself from that mask.
im constantly tearing apart relationships that ive already cut down to a thread, and i never learn from my mistakes. i constantly long for the loving touch of my bestfriend because shes the only one i can trust and because i cherish all of the love i get from her because shes the only one who knows how to make me feel loved the way i like it.
this video made me think about my own mental state and made me realise that I use the excuse. I’m tired too much. I want to have very weak depression because I always feel drained and I’m happy on the outside. Normally I act happy happy happy oh let’s go play a game, but I wanna leave my room. Sometimes I just burst out in tears after something tiny thank you for making me think about this also look for these things and others. You are very inspiring to me. What a lovely artist.
This was really informative and helped me realize a few important things about myself. Also, the art with Omori really blew me away. The story of Omori deals with really dark and more mature themes that most psychological horror games barely scratch the surface of.
This hits home on so many levels for me. Your channel has been wonderful in helping try and identify patterns that I do myself without realizing it. Thank you for these wonderful videos
I never knew “smiling depression” was a thing…and now I’m scared. Also completely unrelated, but you sounded lovely when you sang that Nat King Cole line. You have a very nice voice 💙
I used to suppress my feelings and bottle up my emotions because I didn't want anyone worrying about me, I'm not diagnosed with depression but I show a lot of symptoms for it, after a long time of bottling up and suppressing my emotions I broke down during a school day and talked it out with a teacher, that same day I broke down when I got home from school and talked with my parental figure (Not actual parent of mine) I've gone to the doctor now various times and we've finally gotten to the point where I'll talk with a psychiatrist and hopefully get proper help. I'm sharing my personal experience because I got nothing out of bottling up my emotions and lying to everyone around me, in the end I broke down, and while I wasn't open to talk about a while ago, I am now. To anyone struggling, you're not alone in this, find someone you love and trust, a friend, a teacher, a parental figure or a parent, no matter how hopeless it may seem it can get better and it will if you reach out. I know it's gonna be hard to reach out if you're struggling, and sometimes it feels like no one loves you, but I know there's someone out there who loves and cares about you so much. You're not alone, I promise. And once you do reach out, it's gonna be difficult to talk about at first, I know that, but once you find that one person you love and trust and talk with them it'll be much easier to talk about in the future. It will get better, just don't give up too soon. Ah, I'm tearing up after writing all this, best of luck to the person reading this. Thank you for taking your time to read this, I really appreciate it. And if you are struggling, then I hope things get better soon.
I had an incedence of this year's ago. What shook me to get help, after several adults saying things about me not being okay, was a child asking their parent if they could "it hug the sad lady" on a day I thought I was fine. It was the best thing to happen. When I found out what had me stuck I was able to take the steps I needed to get where I wanted to be.
Finally I know what exactly my depression does. I really did think I was just too lazy, and I was told sometimes that I'm just faking it. pretty much all of the signs are there.
That you for making this video I hope it allows others to understand. I don’t know if I have depression but I feel all of these and my main emotion is empty I don’t feel anything, and I just smile and say “as long as I’m smiling nothing could be wrong” and my friends are really the only ones who know.
I just wanna say thank you. Although I'm not personally in a standpoint to talk with others about certain things, I want to say that your words of seemingly understanding and explanation can really lift a good bit of heart. I want to thank you for your many videos and efforts and hope that you will always find a dor you positive solution to a problem in your life. If it's simple or immense, for every single of them you can also be proud of.
Dispute not having depression, Most of the time I’m just really sad. I usually stick to the humour ways just to block out the traumatic events that happened, that’s just usually how I stop everything. I just feel like I’m not me when I don’t entertain others as my escape I was really nice of you to even address this, Thank you
I tried to never make a big deal of my depression and never told anyone. No one cared or noticed. They care if I had a hoodie over my face or that I was crying. I was "cheery" and "happy". I hate seeming like I was faking it. I was distressed and scared. I didnt want to make a big deal because no one would care. But I believe that I had depression. I did my best research. The one is that I couldnt get was a therapist. My mom wouldnt really pay for one. So i had to go through this time thinking that I was just feeling a little bit sad... Right? It lasted weeks to months. I had low energy, stayed in my room to long, constant sadness, feeling like i wanted to be goners, constant nightmares, SH, I finally talked to my mom about it and she didnt put my to the side and actually helped me. She said that she noticed and was concerned. I felt so loved and glad for once. And the reason I thought I didn't really have it was because... Literally most of my friends said that they had it so I didnt wanna feel like I was faking or being quirky, so I tried not to question it because what if my friends were really depressed?
I remember one time making a joke about my self harm to a friend and they were not happy with me about it, yet I continued laughing hysterically at myself about it until I finally caught my breath and we moved onto another topic, this was a while back ago, back when I didn't know much about really any of the mental health stuff but I've learned a lot and improved a lot
Wow, someone just recently finished Omori. I did too a couple days ago, really good game. I do like how you used the characters to explain this, as this is basically how they dealt with their depression. Not saying what they are depressed about of course, anyone who reads this comment should honestly play the game or look it up if you don't like psychological horror.
This hit the nail on the head. I've been like this for so long I've given up pretending I am ok. I am usually the funny guy in whatever circle I end up in or the guy who helps everyone else and can pick up on their negative emotions. It sucks but I try my best to be ok, fake it until you make it right?
As someone with diagnosed depression, this is spot on. What it does let me know tho is that I was likely depressed for a lot longer than I thought I was. I thought it was a relatively recent development when I got diagnosed, but now I'm wondering if I'd be depressed for months, or even years before that
ive recently been feeling really down aswell and just sad constantly for no reason but i dont like telling people i am feeling that way because i dont wanna hurt their feelings.

Speaking truly, it's not easy to be constant in your videos, even during the time when you don't feel good about yourself, but instead of thinking about yourself, you think about people who need a friend, who can assume their emotions and their problems, even without talking to them...

All I ever wanted was to be listened to....not interrupted, not ridiculed, not blamed or even dismissed. Thats all I wanted...but I don't deserve that.
You do! You deserve everything!
I'll hear you out if you still wanna talk about it! And I won't judge!!!
Dunno if you'll see this, but.
I know how you feel. You deserve it but you've been shown and told by the people around you that you're undeserving.
They, are the undeserving ones. I... Don't have all the answers, but, move on as best as you can. Those who hurt you might share your blood, they might call you friend, but if they will not listen to you, will ignore you and cast you aside. They do not care for you, they only care for the image of you they have in their head.
That said. Sometimes, those people do care, but while they listen they cannot understand you.
I know, a dear friend of mine wished me nothing but the best but I couldn't feel seen by them. As if they didn't truly understand. And... Even if they don't.
If they stick by you, love you all the same, and want better for you. Don't throw them away yourself.
In fact, it took me awhile to realize most of my pain came from myself, my own self loathing and hatred. I was undeserving. I was worthless. I should have just given up three years back when I had the chance.
But. I, was also wrong.
It's not an easy road, but it's one well worth walking.
You don't!
I don’t deserve any of those things.

Helps a lot to cope with feelings of dissatisfaction caused by severe or less severe poverty,which is common in 3rd world countries like at the Balkan peninsula

Going to ignore seeing this
I know it's not healthy to self-diagnose but I might have depression.
Most of masking types in the video are the same. I recently found Omori and it made me think a lot, about me, about people, about my feelings and my ways to cope. I'm thankful that you were able to help me open my eyes. People always said that the first step is to acknowledge the problem
A self diagnosis of depression is pretty valid in my unprofessional opinion, so long as you’re being honest and taking it seriously. Depression isn’t very hard to self diagnose, at least not compared to more complex mental illnesses such as OCD, Bipolar, or Borderline Personality. However if you do believe you have depression, I highly recommend seeking a therapist to help you.
I have two degrees on the topic, and self diagnosis can be a useful tool that encourages you to seek help. Even if you misdiagnosed yourself, if it gets you to seek help, it's a good thing.
Like this video shows, it's not always clear from the outside that something is wrong. Sometimes you are the only one who will know until you go out for help.
The other commenter is right though and some things are harder to self-diagnosenthan others, especially personality disorders and things like DDD where altered perception or lack of self-perception to protect oneself stop the person from noting key details.
if you do (or did as i am seeing this 6 months later) think you have depression you should get therapy because it is truly hard as someone who once had suicidal depression (100% i tried to kms luckily was not depressed enough to try it hard enough) and maybe had depression again a not so long time ago (i am good now... i think) i know it is HARD even if it may not be actual depression and just a self-diagnose it may be something near enough or as bad so most definitely get therapy (truly i hope you already did or you are fine already equally maybe get therapy or talk about it with someone anyways it leaves a mark but this mark can be healed a bit so it doesn't affects you as much)
it makes me very happy to see omori used as a medium for this content, i think its a beautifully crafted game with tons of nuance and relatability in the characters. playing through it reminded me of how i came to terms with some of my own issues, and even refined my view on them a little. thanks for making this great video!
We are so glad that you enjoyed this animation style!
Same ;)
:)* sorry-
me too! the game taught me what repression of memories was and helped me realise that i had it
Not noticing when a loved one is suffering is one of my biggest fears. I never want to be the person who missed the signs and end up losing someone important to me. This is a great video to combat that so thank you 💜
Beautiful 😍
Same. Scares me to think that someone in my life who looks extremely happy and functional could be dealing with a lot of deep and dark things that they aren’t telling me and that one day I’ll just find out when it’s too late and hate myself for it because I didn’t do anything. Like I always want to help people, but when I don’t know how to approach it, I just keep it to myself, because I’d rather not help it all then help and mess it up. And I also don’t know how to make myself look like an approachable person so people feel that they can approach with their problems because helping people makes me feel good and I’m always willing to help you with something.
I like this artwork. My oldest brother gave off some of these signs. I didn't recognize them though. It's a tragedy but a lot of the signs for this and other mental illnesses covered by this channel are probably overlooked until people are older, and it dawns on them through reflection. I didn't even know I had any problems until I came to this channel. I hope knowledge of these issues becomes ubiquitous.
It's based on the game "Omori".

As someone who has depression, I can confirm that these are indeed mostly true, at least for me. Whenever someone asks me what's wrong, I simply fake a smile and murmur something like "I'm tired" or "I didn't get a lot of sleep last night". Every day, I go to school, fake my smiles and laughter, and then I get home and I have to do the same for my parents and neighbors. In the early mornings, at 12am-3:45am, I let myself sit there in my bed and numbly cry each night. All of my humor is self-deprecating, and my mother finds it slightly concerning. If you see someone with these signs, you don't have to do much. Just give them a smile and see if they need a hug.
That’s me except I’m the definition of alone besides my pup I view everyone as the enemy and I view any emotion that I feel is weakness. Never again will someone take advantage of me. I also fake my smiles and laughter. I struggle to get sleep like right now and I don’t see life as worth it anymore.
@@Chillforev-dd9wrThen get help. People care.

I'm really glad that you used Omori as symbolism for this video since it already incorporates themes like depression into the game. Thank you for making this lovely video!
Yeah but now I’m crying
as someone who has (and still does) suffer from depression, it really does help if people check if your ok, even if we say we aren't, its still reassuring. we dont get much sleep a lot of the time and it feels like there's a growing weight on our shoulders that doesnt go away, just gets heavier. we look away, try not to make eye contact and try not to get the attention to us. we are in pain we just dont show it, its like we are in an endless void and a world full of people that dont care about us at the same time. we feel we dont matter. if someone is suffering from depression, please help them. its an unbearable pain that wont leave.
I can only admit to that. My life is the same and even when I put all my energy together and open up to someone I always get rejected. Than there always come things like "youre overreacting" or "you still smile so i cant be that bad" or "think about (put in some random bad thing) those people". I dont really know what to do anymore. Going to a professional would be good but I cant afford that. The only thing I can do is try to fix my soul by myself and hey, I managed to get away from suicidal all by myself, maybe I can fix the rest too. I still hope that things will get better, but its fading away and I dont know where I end up when its gone. For now... I life a "normal" life while my soul is crying for help.
For everyone else with depression: I feel with you
For everyone without depression: Listen to people when they open up to you and take it seriously. And when you cant do something for them, give them a hug and say everything is fine. It helps wonders.

This is coming from someone that never considered themselves depressed or anything of the sorts. I always thought that this is life, and I kind of accepted that. And then I watched this video randomly and all of the signs on this list are just on point in my life. I watched this and when the video ended I just cried. I don't know why. I don't feel depressed (not that I know exactly how to diagnose it), I've been alone for 5 years now, at work I put on that mask and be funny and energetic and stuff and when I get home the whole act drops and I just... don't do anything really. I have a hobby that I love but I don't want to do it if I don't feel like it, which I rarely do these days. Yesterday I finally decided to tell my crush (my coworker) how I feel and I got rejected. She was nice about it, she assured me that it wouldn't get weird between us going forward, and I just put the mask on again and pretend it never happened. I got invited to drink some with my collegues and I came up with the excuse that I already got an appointment with my sister, which I clearly lied about because I'm writing this at home at this moment. And this is just this week. Now, I'm not saying these are so horrible because this is just life, and I'm not excusing myself for not trying to get better mentally, because I'm trying, sort of. Again I don't really think I have depression, this is just... I don't know, sad? I don't have thoughts about not wanting to be here or something, to my standards I get drinks or go out with friends often, but it's just so hard keeping this up for some reason. Maybe I'm just deprived of love.
Well whatever it is, if you are reading this sentence after all that rambling then thank you and have a wonderful morning/day/night!!! I hope everyone is doing okay!
not a doctor or anything but to me depression is not necessarily "not wanting to be here" you dont have to be suicidal to have depression... you are describing very similar feel that I had and still kindda have .. i am considering myself as being in a depression (I wouldn't do my hobbies, wouldn't go out as much or even if going out it would drain all my energy, wouldn't do anything at home (I ate pre-made food that heat up in microwave for about 6 month to tell you) had a hard time keeping my house clean cause i didn't feel like doing anything and more)
take time for yourself and heal that heart and mind of yours it may take time but it's worth it ! I am finally starting to feel like i'm going out of depression after 2 years
I agree with you- i also have all of these symptoms- bt still for some reasons i don't know if I'm actually depressed or not- it just seems that everyone's going through these and this is what life is about- i mean i simply can't find any other way of living or doing usual stuffs- and tbh- i really don't even want to get out of this situation- I'm too comfy with my current condition and don't want to chng anything at all- people r saying that i need help bt i don't think so at all- i think I'm perfectly fine and this is what i should be doing-
you just said what my depressed friend always says
Maybe your starting to experience symptoms OF depression instead. Being deprived of love can be one of them too. Everyone wants to be loved dont they? I hope your doing well if yiu ever see this message! ❤
@@DarkDaysInPurple Thanks for the kind message. I aggree, we are social creatures so in some form everyone craves and wants to be loved. I'm still alone, but since I made the original comment I've been trying really hard to get better mentally. I started to go to the gym months ago and go to more events, spend more time with other people and I feel much much better, but I still have some of the symptoms, often I still just sit at home doing nothing because I don't feel like doing any of the stuff I like doing. BUT I'm trying my best to get out of that mental space and, slowly though, but I feel like I'm making progress.
I hope you are doing good as well! :)
And I hope everyone is doing well
I absolutely love these Omori references. Keep up the amazing work.
This was a great episode, and nice to see Omori get some representation here. Would love to see the references return again in a Trauma subject episode along with PTSD.
I hope y'all doing great and well. I'm myself fighting alone (at least in my family and they didn't want to admit that their son is mentally ill) because I have schizoaffective disorder. It's a hard world for me and the more I think the deeper I sink, slowly and surely I'm losing a grasp of reality. I don't know how long I'll be in this world, but, hey, at least I want to leave a good impression
Edit: I didn't realize some of the word is rhyming haha
Hey, how are you doing?
Time stamps💋:
1. 0:49 Their surroundings burn and yet they smile
2. 1:51 They give excuses whenever invited out

When you singing a little, it’s so calming, i like ur voice!, is so peaceful :(
I’ve been dealing depressed lately. I love when other people are happy so I always help or do things for other people. I see how it would make me feel worse if I don’t care about my own feelings, but seeing other people happy makes me happy.
No cap you’re videos literally describe my life better than i can describe it myself. This describes me at school every day
I’ve never been able to socialise with people well, due to social anxiety, depression and autism so it’s always been hard for me. But this video is quite accurate, like I use self demanding humour to cope with stress. And since I’ve recently lost my closest friendship it has been really difficult for me since I struggle with even what is considered basic social interactions, these videos make me feel a bit better and helps me see things a bit better. Thanks to this wonderful channel.
P.S Kel is awesome. He holds the entire plot on his back for the good ending lol
Thank you for that video. While I found myself in Depression a year ago, I can completely identify some of the signs in myself. Being with a professional therapist helps to overcome or at least live better with this. It is nice to see your work in spreading information and in this way inspire more understanding. For everyone who wants to help but don´tknow if this isn´t invading the privacy of the other one: Yes it is, but you still need it when you feel to empty to even articulate your emotions.
Depression means putting on a brave face, trying to make others laugh so your brain can make just a bit of serotonin, getting snapping angry for little to no reason, having zero energy, socially withdrawing and sometimes just feeling nothing. At least that's how it is for me.
For me, it's trying to always elevate others to a high pedestal, never wanting anybody to feel bad about themself so I can find my comfort in being the one to help. I can sometimes even be a doormat for admittedly toxic people. I know it doesn't work all the time, but as long as I can help other people, I'll always have something to smile about, whether it's a real or fake one doesn't matter.
same here, but being home alone in the morning to even night does not help at all, I constantly talk and shout at myself and anything that I think about or do...
I feel emotionless sometimes I can’t seem to feel empathy for one in my mind I can’t seem to feel bad for them, and yet I also can’t feel sad for anybody but myself. I know I’m a jerk so watching this videos help me. Thank you so much.
It is so hard seeing when someone is actually depressed because a bunch of people claim they are because they want attention. Thanks for making this video to help show the signs! Hopefully someone will notice soon.
Yeesss the Omori references :D
Edit: YO WHAT THE HELL THIS VIDEO AIRED TODAY???
Yay Omori

I love omori
WTF TIME TRAVELER?!
Who?
As someone who is coming out the other end of a huge depressive episode (since the beginning of the pandemic really) I clicked on this video because I wanted to confirm that it was depression that I was struggling with and not just adhd. Man I’m thankful that I watched this. Now that I pretty much have that awful weight off my shoulders, I can attest to how true all of these are. It really does feel like a battery that never gets full. It truly feels like there is nothing you can do about it in the moment. But when I took a step back, identified what it is I was dealing with, and treated it as something that wasn’t permanent while not letting it take over my identity, I set up the perfect formula for recovery for my situation. I started letting people take me places, no matter how tired I was. The single most influential moment in this journey was when I let my sisters and Mom take me Black Friday clothes shopping. When I finally had clothes that fit and looked good, it kinda created a positive feedback loop. When I got compliments in my looks for the first time, my self-esteem returned. And it just escalated from there. Going to the movies with a girl in a few days! In my experience (this is not a catch-all piece of advice, probably won’t work for most people) the best way to get out of that depressive mood is to get outside and do stuff, no matter how little energy you have. Doesn’t matter what it is. Take a walk. Work out for once. Hell, even hang out with a group of close friends that you legitimately enjoy being around. That, paired with self-reflection and taking care of myself physically, really got me out of the place I was in. Still got ADHD, but at least I can actually see the benefits of it now.
Indeed, ADHD has benefits. It can be wielded as a powerful tool, and I believe in you to do exactly that
Congrats. You’ve. Just. Summoned. An. Entire. Fandom.
1:04 - @Psych2Go - I love all your videos - they’re so insightful and keep up the awesome work! Just on an unrelated note, you have a beautiful voice and if you recorded music, I would so buy your album! 😍
Here is her UA-cam Channel! ua-cam.com/video/tkik2KpK008/v-deo.html
The Omori references actually made sense in this video
Wow, nice Omori refrences!
Anyway, I do get the 3rd reason, people making jokes to hide their true feelings, I've seen it happen at least twice before. While comedy is good to have now and then, I don't think it's healthy to use it as a solution to all of the negatives.

Awesome encouragement!
A lot of bullies tend to conceal their depression by regularly trying to make others feel bad to distract themselves from their sorrows
Thank you so much for making me realize what these actually are because not many people actually know me, even my siblings and my parents know like 30%-65% . I wish I could give your crew a hug.
The video hit close to home way more than I thought it should've...
While I don't necessarily have depression like some people here in the comments, I tend to do all these sometimes whenever I just don't feel fine at all. The 5th one is something I really do a lot when it comes to my friends, especially since I can relate to them sometimes.
I really love that Omori was used as a theme of this video. It really goes with the topic of depression. and some of the categories listed went with the characters.
but they whitewashed kellllllll 😭😭😭😭😭😭
@@TheWater_Lilyeh..? It’s a really small thing, and this video is a year old
i omor
@@pemanilnoob 😭😭still sad about it
Omg, same 0:22, every time I feel like opening up and sharing with my mom. She's like, you are just telling yourself that. Have a positive mindset, not a negative mindset, and you’ll feel better soon. I just think its hard when people always assume that just because someones happy and the moment they show their true colors. They start getting questioned and getting concerned people trying to soothe their “worries/anxiousness”
I am actually going through a very depressing time throughly my life even though IM ELEVEN. basically my parents are going through a hard time and are planning to take a divorce. As you see Im also in a hard time and your video really inspired me to keep going and find help. Thank you and I hope many other people are changed by this informative video. Thank you! 🙂
Don’t worry… my parents are like that too. I understand you. We are all here for you :)
Ya me too I’m 11 and I feel like I can’t talk to anyone without getting laughter at I feel like life sucked and I need to suck it up witch I thought was normal intel I saw a video and ya and I feel more and more depressed every day and it’s still going on so I can relate really well to this vidio😢
@@liambrixeyanderson3767 I hope you get through your tough time I’m sending all the love to you and everyone in this comment section ❤️❤️❤️
Enjoy middle school buddy
I had the same thing happen at 8 now I'm much older and better mentally and physically, just keep moving and never give up
I hope anyone struggling with this finds the love and support they need to overcome it.
i love this side of youtube because in the psychology and emotion driven communities everyone understands eachother and you can learn from eachothers personal expieriences
With a mask so well made, people can never really notice that I'm actually not fine cause I get more and more social when I'm not
I definitely can understand and relate to all of these. I lately more than ever I put on a smile and say I’m fine or okay when I’m just holding myself together until I get home. My fiancé is a great support and is very understanding, bless him. He does his best to help me and I think I’m getting better.
Only one time have I been actually happy and it felt amazing, I smiled of happiness and realised that my everyday smile was fake…
My favorite quote I’ve ever read that left me sobbing and choking for air because it’s so painfully true… “sometimes when I say ‘I’m ok’ I want someone to look me in the eyes hug me tight and say ‘I know you’re not’”
No has looked and said that to me since I was 10 or 11 years old now 36 and still those things
Your voice is so beautiful, the soft tone is fantastic to use for this type of video. The little bit of singing in the video was amazing! I bet if you went on a singing show, you’d win just like that! Thank you for making this video for others in need, as a person that has never suffered with depression this helps me to understand my friends.
Omori characters in this art style is something I never knew I needed
As someone who is suffering from depression and serious self harm thoughts as a teen this channel is a beacon for my late night watches (I’m in the middle of one right now) when I can’t sleep wether it’s the soft pastel color and art style or the calming voice it always helps so much
So thank you so much for providing all of these I do all of these things truly and am in therapy and take meds so I can’t thank you so much for saying all of these things saying the things I can’t put to words wonderful videos (I also love all of the omori references)
i'm only here because i was laughing hysterically at the thumbnail
It felt like my heart stopped when I heard the “I’m just tired.” I get asked if I’m okay nearly every day, and my excuse? “I’m just tired.” And of course, the stereotype of depressed people is saying “I’m fine,” so I thought it was just me. I hate the stereotypes. It makes everyone including myself too afraid to ask for help in fear of being talked down.
I noticed something familiar about these… I have gone through lots of them but have improved a lot with it… though now I’m noticing my life long crush is going through it. Wish me luck on trying to help the darling & I wish all for ones who have been going through this kind of pain, take in that you have a spirit that controls the mind not the other way around unless you let it. Allow yourself to take in the pain & give yourself the love to let it go for your entity deserves peace. From the people treating you badly to you treating others badly at times, this all stem from broken pain inside us. Broken people hurt people. Once we forgive that we merely weren’t very aware at the time & still aim to grow, remember there is no point to hold onto those broken parts of you in the past, instead allow space for your true inner spirit to flow and shine. Forgive yourself, heal yourself, love yourself the way you wish people loved you in times of pain & eventually I promise the light will shine faster than you know. We are all worth it. 🤟🏼
Also not all thoughts you have are an indication of yourself!!! Thoughts pop into your mind based on hearing/ seeing information & scenarios you’ve encountered therefore keep feeding the love & allow the negative ones to pass on by without criticizing negatively! Love & peace to you all 💖🍃
It’s being held underwater and wanting to open your mouth, but having one or two people that love you enough, so you go on suffering.
Man, I miss the days where I wouldn’t feel like I experienced any of these points. As I continue aging, I can’t help but feel like I’m further spiraling deeper. I miss peace.
I never realized that I was a totally different person during the day than at home. Now I truly know that I need to fix this and that I must relieve myself from that mask.
im constantly tearing apart relationships that ive already cut down to a thread, and i never learn from my mistakes. i constantly long for the loving touch of my bestfriend because shes the only one i can trust and because i cherish all of the love i get from her because shes the only one who knows how to make me feel loved the way i like it.
this video made me think about my own mental state and made me realise that I use the excuse. I’m tired too much. I want to have very weak depression because I always feel drained and I’m happy on the outside. Normally I act happy happy happy oh let’s go play a game, but I wanna leave my room. Sometimes I just burst out in tears after something tiny thank you for making me think about this also look for these things and others. You are very inspiring to me. What a lovely artist.
guaranteeing to help you overcome what you're going through ✋
This was really informative and helped me realize a few important things about myself. Also, the art with Omori really blew me away. The story of Omori deals with really dark and more mature themes that most psychological horror games barely scratch the surface of.
This hits home on so many levels for me. Your channel has been wonderful in helping try and identify patterns that I do myself without realizing it. Thank you for these wonderful videos
I never knew “smiling depression” was a thing…and now I’m scared. Also completely unrelated, but you sounded lovely when you sang that Nat King Cole line. You have a very nice voice 💙
I used to suppress my feelings and bottle up my emotions because I didn't want anyone worrying about me, I'm not diagnosed with depression but I show a lot of symptoms for it, after a long time of bottling up and suppressing my emotions I broke down during a school day and talked it out with a teacher, that same day I broke down when I got home from school and talked with my parental figure (Not actual parent of mine)
I've gone to the doctor now various times and we've finally gotten to the point where I'll talk with a psychiatrist and hopefully get proper help.
I'm sharing my personal experience because I got nothing out of bottling up my emotions and lying to everyone around me, in the end I broke down, and while I wasn't open to talk about a while ago, I am now. To anyone struggling, you're not alone in this, find someone you love and trust, a friend, a teacher, a parental figure or a parent, no matter how hopeless it may seem it can get better and it will if you reach out. I know it's gonna be hard to reach out if you're struggling, and sometimes it feels like no one loves you, but I know there's someone out there who loves and cares about you so much. You're not alone, I promise.
And once you do reach out, it's gonna be difficult to talk about at first, I know that, but once you find that one person you love and trust and talk with them it'll be much easier to talk about in the future. It will get better, just don't give up too soon. Ah, I'm tearing up after writing all this, best of luck to the person reading this.
Thank you for taking your time to read this, I really appreciate it. And if you are struggling, then I hope things get better soon.
Finally, another person that isn't diagnosed but shows all the symptoms ❤️
Me too
I had an incedence of this year's ago. What shook me to get help, after several adults saying things about me not being okay, was a child asking their parent if they could "it hug the sad lady" on a day I thought I was fine. It was the best thing to happen. When I found out what had me stuck I was able to take the steps I needed to get where I wanted to be.
Finally I know what exactly my depression does. I really did think I was just too lazy, and I was told sometimes that I'm just faking it. pretty much all of the signs are there.
Her voice is so comforting and beautiful
That you for making this video I hope it allows others to understand. I don’t know if I have depression but I feel all of these and my main emotion is empty I don’t feel anything, and I just smile and say “as long as I’m smiling nothing could be wrong” and my friends are really the only ones who know.
@wkup ⸜⁄ thanks
I just wanna say thank you.
Although I'm not personally in a standpoint to talk with others about certain things, I want to say that your words of seemingly understanding and explanation can really lift a good bit of heart. I want to thank you for your many videos and efforts and hope that you will always find a dor you positive solution to a problem in your life. If it's simple or immense, for every single of them you can also be proud of.
Dispute not having depression, Most of the time I’m just really sad.
I usually stick to the humour ways just to block out the traumatic events that happened, that’s just usually how I stop everything. I just feel like I’m not me when I don’t entertain others as my escape
I was really nice of you to even address this, Thank you
I tried to never make a big deal of my depression and never told anyone. No one cared or noticed. They care if I had a hoodie over my face or that I was crying. I was "cheery" and "happy". I hate seeming like I was faking it. I was distressed and scared. I didnt want to make a big deal because no one would care.
But I believe that I had depression. I did my best research.
The one is that I couldnt get was a therapist. My mom wouldnt really pay for one.
So i had to go through this time thinking that I was just feeling a little bit sad... Right?
It lasted weeks to months.
I had low energy, stayed in my room to long, constant sadness, feeling like i wanted to be goners, constant nightmares, SH,
I finally talked to my mom about it and she didnt put my to the side and actually helped me. She said that she noticed and was concerned. I felt so loved and glad for once.
And the reason I thought I didn't really have it was because...
Literally most of my friends said that they had it so I didnt wanna feel like I was faking or being quirky, so I tried not to question it because what if my friends were really depressed?
I remember one time making a joke about my self harm to a friend and they were not happy with me about it, yet I continued laughing hysterically at myself about it until I finally caught my breath and we moved onto another topic, this was a while back ago, back when I didn't know much about really any of the mental health stuff but I've learned a lot and improved a lot
Wow, someone just recently finished Omori. I did too a couple days ago, really good game. I do like how you used the characters to explain this, as this is basically how they dealt with their depression. Not saying what they are depressed about of course, anyone who reads this comment should honestly play the game or look it up if you don't like psychological horror.
Out of curiosity who did you watch play omori

This hit the nail on the head. I've been like this for so long I've given up pretending I am ok. I am usually the funny guy in whatever circle I end up in or the guy who helps everyone else and can pick up on their negative emotions.
It sucks but I try my best to be ok, fake it until you make it right?
Psycho2go… thank you you’ve made me see other people and what there going through. Not just this vid a lot. So thanks
As someone with diagnosed depression, this is spot on. What it does let me know tho is that I was likely depressed for a lot longer than I thought I was. I thought it was a relatively recent development when I got diagnosed, but now I'm wondering if I'd be depressed for months, or even years before that
ive recently been feeling really down aswell and just sad constantly for no reason but i dont like telling people i am feeling that way because i dont wanna hurt their feelings.
@@Lunkie Speaking from experience, it's better to tell people. The people who care about you do so for a reason, and it's a little cruel to keep them in the dark..not
