You know things are serious when this video is recommended and not searched.
Mine was recommended because I subscribed to them. There voice is so calming and I like it
@@StreetSweeper1776 lol i did not even subscribe and its just recommended😂
Bahahahaha, I shouldn't be laughing but true.
Its been reccomended becuase there has been a lot of user activity on this video
Well, that's something cause it's probably my first time on this channel 😳😳
“are you overreating or have you lost your appetite completely?” both. it makes absolutely no sense but i have no appetite and rarely have a desire to eat, yet constantly find myself binge-snacking
I do too
That was the most accurate description. Omg yes agree completely
exactly the same! I don't want to eat anything but at the same time I feel the need to finish the entire bag of cereals as if they were popcorn.
Omg I have this exact same issue. Like I'm really hungry but at the same time I have no desire to eat. Then when I do eat I just keep eating and I never feel satisfied. It's really weird. Dumb part is that I told my mom about it because I was actually starting to get concerned, and she told me that I was constipated. My mom will never fail to confuse me with her logic 😐

who feels like they have depression but don’t want to self diagnose?🙋🏻
edit: 1k likes? it’s kinda nice knowing so many people relate to me:)
Me
I alway's hated it when people would self-diagnose themself,I don't want to be called a 'hypocrite'.
Ehi, if you feel like you might have depression or other problems you shouldn't be ashamed into thinking that you're self diagnosticating an illness, you're just worrying about your mental and physical health wich is fine and should be like this, in my opinion! If you're worried about something please seek help or talk about it with someone you know you can trust
Me
Nope
1:01 memory impairments
1:33 substance abuse
1:59 inadequate sleep
2:33 impulsivity
3:12 appetite changes
3:33 frequent migraines
4:01 social isolation
4:31 increased somatic pain
4:51 gastrointestinal problems
That’s me!
Yes
Thanks
10th sign: UA-cam algorithm recommends depression videos to you.
How do they know?
They have figured it out. Due to the content.
Actually though! Even you tube sees it when you don’t
yh i just got this today
true-
If anyone hasn’t told you, I hope you have a goodnight. Sleep well
Sleeping well isnt something I can do
Thank you...but-
How did you know I was about to go to bed O_O
thank you
I just woke up (4am) because of nightmares :/
thanks i got a microcold since yesterday and hope for a quick recovery
9 signs of Clinical Depression are:
1. memory impairments
2. substance abuse
3. inadequate sleep
4. impulsivity
5. appetite change
6. frequent migraines
7. social isolation
8. increased somatic pain
9. gastrointestinal problems
I have only couple of these. Means I suffer from another kind... that is existential depression.
Thanks for that! I was half way through typing this up then noticed this! It helps so much when someon does this!
Thx
I have that now too.
I lost God... and the spirit left my body, and took my humanity with .
I felt it happen.
it's cause I'm evil. I didn't do good...
@@VengefulPolititron I doubt you are evil. It sounds more like you've lost your way. It's not too late for you to find your way back to The Most High, if that is what you desire. Its also not too late for you to do things that make you feel less evil. The fact that you feel this way tells me you're definitely not evil and that you desire to do good. Maybe apologize to The Most High, if you feel compelled to do so. Playing Animal Crossing can also be therapeutic.
@@gypsywoman9140
I have NO DESIRE.
for God, the Bible.. videogames sculpting...
my head knows.. but I have Zero heart.
listen to what I'm saying.
it sounds impossible. but it's literally true. he took the good from me.
casud he is good.
nothing good in me.
with him gone. I have nothing.
I am nothing.
the was taking to God. freaked out. sinned.
and he left. and my desire for him left RIGHT THEN.
I have no will or choice anymore.
Me: alright, let's see. Not self diagnosing just seeing if I relate.
Voice: 1. Memory impairments
Me:....fuck-
I think we can all agree to that 😂😂😂😂
Same dude 😐😥
me too dude
I got all but 1 ticked off. I can't care much about my depression coz I don't have the energy.
Ahaa I can't even remember half of the day it's all a blur
that voice probably cured someone's depression
for real.....
I'm sorry, I hope you get well
Nope not true
We all know voices don't cure depression, it was just an expression.
Let's not be mean with this nice comment
It was kinda a joke.Not much serious.Actually ptsd and mental stuffs cannot be healed just by listening to a calm voice.
Who else thinks they are depressed but don’t want to self diagnose✋
edit: please seek help if its getting worse, I know its hard but im sure you can do it. I know its weird hearing it from a stranger online but, I care about you and i know other ppl out there do too. Please take care of yourselves, ilysm :)
Right its sad... And I fell like my parents would take it as a joke.
@@alionmlb3618 yea..
✋😭
@@alionmlb3618 YES
@@alionmlb3618 my mom did take it as a joke when I told her. I’ve tried therapy before but only the places we didn’t have to pay bc my mom doesn’t have the money but it didn’t go so well. I’m pretty sure I have social anxiety too but I don’t wanna self diagnose that either. I know I need therapy to function better but my mom can’t pay for it and it’s only the good therapists that you need to pay for :(
I just hate it when my mom calls me lazy when I'm just so tired of living and dead inside :(
Hey, it'll get better,remeber that💜borahae💜
i hate it when i tell myself that. genuinely wishing you happiness. 💜
I also got depressed not until I met Jin, lets what Jin together💜💜💜😊
Go and help someone that needs help
It's okay, life goes on (I'm really sorry)
I wish I could go and see a therapist but my parents would keep on saying “your just thinking,you don’t actually have it.” That’s why I NEED to see one
I personally think this channel knows everything about me..
Edit: didnt know so many pple could relate
𝚂
Same
I know, kinda sus.
I know that feeling...
Ikr
I love how psych2go repeatedly calls me out in my recommended lmao
Oops! We didn't mean to. Did you relate to this video?
I look up the videos because for come off reading they make me feel better, I watch them every day
Same 😳😳
I felt that one
I be like “but how do you know.... how do you know that’s tru?”
When someone on the internet understands your depression more than your parents and my parent always claim they know me more than i know myself.
who am I tho? I'm asking this on internet cause i can't know 👀
@Ilkay you really wanna know who you are? You are an amazing talented person who has some meaning in life. You have to remember deep inside that your amazing and that no one can tell u otherwise , you are smart and not at all selfish, you love family more than anything but sometimes wish you could talk to them more, family is everything
@@millielender1535 you just made my hole day ily🥺🥺🥺
@Ilkay ✨💕
@@millielender1535 that was so kind of you. Thank you for doing that 🥺🥺
i wish i could get help....
i didnt think i would relate to EVERY one of these..... Wow.. #8 threw me for a loop too... things make a little bit more sense now...
Praying for all of us suffering 💜
Try some shroom,
Shrooms, you see, are not just a bit of psychedelic fun, they can actually cure depression, anxiety, PTSD, and mental health issues in general are notoriously hard to treat, so why not try psychedelics and see if they worked?...they can help you If you don't mind,you can link up with my plug myco_logan1 on Instagram about how shrooms works on depression and anxiety..
The dislikes are from the parents who deny that they’r kids are depressed💀
Parents: fck you,my child is completely fine
The child:likes video
@@erongranger4675 omg I was about to comment that 💀🤣 guess I am 5 hours late :P
@@NiNa-tl8ne lol,I watch too much tiktok to get that reference
@@erongranger4675 same here
lmao literally
"does talking to your friends and family feel draining?"
That personally attacked me, whenever even my parents tell me "good morning" I don't even want to respond because it kinda "annoys me" and "makes me tired" for some reason
not depression related but im always mad in the (school mornings)mornings😭
Recently I’ve had that problem my dad asks me what I’ve done at school or if I ready to do something and it just makes my annoyed and drains energy from me
at least you have parents...
Honestly same ,Every morning when my father would greet me I'd tried my best to smile or just nod because,I'm afraid he'd feel somehow 'dissapointed' or sad,just a few week's ago he scolded me because he thought I was 'sassing' him since,I didn't answer any of his question's and I was "GlArInG" at him all the time.
Same...like I avoid seeing my dad to not say goodnight/good evening cause I just don't like him and he ruins my mood
I've suffered depression all my life, but the doctors and pills won't work. I'm said to have a lack of motivation. All my working career, I suffered harassment and job loss. My sister Jane told me, "Mom and Dad always thought someday you'd commit suicide." As if she hadn't the slightest care if in fact I did it. Nice sister.

I'm so sorry you've had to go through that in your life. Sometimes loved ones don't understand the damage or the impact that they can have on your life. Keep ur head up. I hope you are doing much better these days.
After many years of keeping it all inside, this video has made me make up my mind to finally see a professional and talk about my feelings.. thank you psych2go
Me: wants to talk to a therapist
Also me: I'm too poor to pay them--
Must sucks. I hope you find the help you need somehow very soon!
I'm guessing you live in america?
rip lol
Look up "sliding scale" or "affordable" health clinics in your county/province and city. There are sometimes free clinics available to people without the financial means to pay for treatment.
Yes same here. Can’t afford a therapist. In fact I’ve tried to and he charged me 50$ for one hour every week and I’m a student and can’t pay that much :(
me to my mom: i think i have depression :(
my mom: d-e-p-r-e-s-s-i-o-n? such a crazy way to spell “its coz you on that damn phone”
Hey we have the same mom bro ✌
My mum was literally: Go outside more! It's because you're never outside.
I did tell her that I feel depressed and tired all the time.
Well now I have to tell my parents that I'm going to take meds for depression and anxiety.
My grandma was supportive, but I'm worried about my parents.
Ironically enough I had the guts to come out as pan to them and that didn't give me that much anxiety.
I mean spending too much time on a phone or sitting inside is really really bad for a lot of people. Trying new things and being social in real life is beneficial and allows you to know how bad you really are. Sometimes all it requires is human interaction to feel better.
As someone who was an adult before the smartphone and internet era I can tell you that I am confident they have negatively contributed to my mental health and still do. I just can't live without them now. Before I started using the internet excessively from home I felt a lot better
@@thesupergreenjudy I agree from my own personal experience. Spending a lot of time on the computer does bad things for me SOMETIMES. Not all the time. However, if i am aware i am not happy, i make a huge effort to go outside more, spend more time with family and spend less time on any technology.
I struggle to sleep at night often staying up watching movies or dvds I do get migraines mostly I suffer from impulsive spending buying things I don't need often buying stuff I've had before then I blame myself because I've wasted money on them or stuff I've done wrong I've had that same problems and I feel I do suffer from depression

I'm depressed for almost 5 years which I'm experiencing sleepless nights, stress and anxiety that literally changed the way I look life. I keep searching videos like this but it just won't help. I want to end my life but my mom made a lot of sacrifices to me and i really want to pay off all of her hard works she showed to me, but being in a state like depression is something extremely challenging. I'm getting skinny and undergone through massive weight loss in which many people criticize my body ratio, so i just lock up myself in a small empty room since I'm afraid of judgement and embarassment. I'm a consistent smart student back when but due to depression i can't focus on my objectives causing downfall in my academic learnings.
Despite of the awful moments of my life, I remain strong and brave because my mom is always there to comfort and sit right next to me whenever i encounter lots of problems in my life. I'm just so thankful to our almighty God for giving me such a lovely mother. I know this is just a test of my faith to God. I claim that this pain will end soon✨😭❤️

hey so i’m seeing a therapist since a few months so i’m getting professional help. i have these symptoms and everything but now what am i supposed to do? because i’m seeing my shrink since almost a year but nothing really change. can i have diagnosis?
i’m not so aware with what to do next so please if someone could help me
my stress or maybe just everything makes me physically sick in my stomach.
ive felt really bad like that since pretty much ever but it’s been worse and i started self harming around 5 years ago. so it’s been a while that’s why i would like answers if that’s possible
thank you :)
@@lucileg4983 I am also seeing a therapist and had my first session last week,I did not feel any change instead I have noticed memory problems and numbness,so if u r seeing a therapist and don't notice any significant change please go for a diagnosis,it might be that u r suffering from clinical depression and need anti depression pills or any other medication.Even I have been feeling like this for 2yrs,so I know what you're going through, sometimes therapies dont work because the problem might be bigger or the therapist might take your therapy process really slow because some therapists are money minded.I also see all the signs of depression in me and I have asked my father to take me for a diagnosis if therapy doesn't work.I urge u to go for a diagnosis asap and don't worry u r not alone, believe in yourself,god is with u and you'll heal❤️
No shit, why would I read this instead of watching the video?
Thank you for the list! What are your thoughts on this video? :)
Kashi K thank you for your response! how am i supposed to get a diagnosis? do i have to ask my shrink one? however the problem is that i’m still not really confortable telling her everything like my self harm and i don’t want to sound like i’m self diagnosing by telling her i have memory issues and all the others that i do have. So i’m afraid my diagnosis won’t be the right one so i don’t get any medication to help me feel better :/ i am really happy for you that you are seeing a therapist and trying to get better and i hope you will, be kind to yourself and remember that people love you no matter what :)thank you again
btw sorry for the late answer i was at school
I have all the symptoms of untreated depression.
But... I'm too exhausted to get help.
Some days I struggle just to use my phone.

Im 22 now and i started having memory loss. I actually forgot when it was my birthday, when people tell me anything i forget even if it was like 5mins ago.
Im at university rn a good one but with the memory i have, its so difficult
I sometimes think I'm depressed, and other days I don't. I kinda just want to say that it is quarantine, but I also want to see a therapist because I feel so dead.
it's just emotions dude. maybe you are having an hard time. still awful, but probably not depression. who knows, you should anyways seek therapy
I am having a hard time, my guys. Definitely not a harder time than other people, but the common difficulties of school and stuff like that. I don't understand how people can even finish all of their finals hahahaha
But yeah I hope to seek therapy... someday :/
I try not to think about it too much, but it is difficult not to question yourself ig. Truth is scary, but well-needed, or I will never understand how to cope without it
Omg same some days I feel On Top of the world other days I feel lazy and lonely
Yea i feel you. I feel like this too sometimes
See a doctor, don't ignore this kind of act because it might get worst and I don't like seeing people suffering because of mental disorders and I want them to know that their not alone, that there will be someone who is willing to help them so please check a doctor and good luck! Keep safe!💜⚡✨🌟💫⭐😊
"Are you over eating or have you lost your appetite completely?"
Me: yes.

Same here. I lost 10kg due to lack of appetite :/. Well...at least I reached normal weight after many years...
Same, I can go up to a week without eating or drinking, I think I’m trying to kill myself in a passive way

Whoever I talked to about my depression will say "Everyone has problems, deal with it". That's my problem, I guess. I don't know how to deal with my problems, it feels like facing a dead end every day.
normal ppl: I'm gonna hide my depression
my naive self: trying to show hints bout my sadness cuz I have all the symptoms and know its serious and me talking to ppl bout my feelings
me now: imma just pretend I'm ok no one needs to know I will just tell ppl I'm fine and act like everything is perfect and act like I didn't just tell them how I truly feel a month ago
Actually me:
@@_no_name_loser_5712 does this count as faking depression im curious
Oh yea.. They told me it was self pity and leading nowhere, so now I only talk about my true feelings with my mom. At least I have her.
Keep hanging on. It's better to try a stupid suggestion than just disappear. Don't let your routine empty up. I came to a point where I felt there was no way to escape it but things change, you can eventually get better, it's hard, painful, stressful, frustrating but worth all the effort. Ok, now is shit, maybe everything sucks now, you feel like shit now, you want to die now. But its now, yesterday too maybe, all your life up to now, but you, and this is true, cannot see the future. You get to have a chance tomorrow. Fight. Fight. Fight. You have potential for happiness: for experiencing it, sharing it with someone, being it for someone new. Maybe not up to now. Maybe from now. The only expectations you need are those you set yourself. The only limitation you need are those to help you control yourself. Don't expect too much from things you don't have control on or haven't spent any effort on. Changes come slowly but need your constant presence of mind. Its exausting but eventually rewarding. Life only point is to make you a survivor through all the pain with the only gift to be able to choose your own tomorrow.
@@flaviolepri5539 thanks you really made my day but is it faking depression cuz I feel like I can turn off my sadness any moment now
I’m too ashamed to go to a doctor to even get a diagnosis...
edit: if you are reading this please seek help or talk to someone, stressing over things that you can’t control will just set you up for a lifetime of frustration, I know it’s weird hearing this from a stranger but I love you and I want to see you accomplish so much in life
Hey! I know I'm just a stranger in the internet, but maybe I can help. I was getting treated until the quarantine began, than I had to stop cause I had no more money. I've been without treatment for one year now. I feel like everything good I achieved is now gone. And just like you, I am ashamed of it. I'm embaressed to have to explain to someone my failure, I feel like I surrendered to anxiety and depression ....
But neither of us should be ashamed. Therapists and psychiatrists are not there to judge us but to help us recover from our disease. You are not alone, this illness is not who we are and I promess you that if you get yourself professional help, things will get better. Do it now, don't postpone it like I have, because if you do, you will end up in the same loophole as I am now. Call someone you know who does therapy, google the contact of therapists in your area, ask a neighbor, but don't give up trying. Once you find a therapist, they can recommend you a good doctor. No one will make you do anything you dont want to. If they prescribe you medication, don't be ashamed of taking it either, they really help control what our will cannot.
I'm hoping that, by giving you a little courage, maybe I can get myself some too...
I feel the same
Whenever I feel really sad and have some negative thoughts I just think to myself that what I'm feeling is not real and that I'm just exaggerating. Sometimes that calms me, sometimes it makes it worse. But I am attached to that idea that what I feel is fake so I feel like there's no point in getting "help"
@@audriari I feel like there is this voice in my head, shrouded in darkness, that keeps telling me the worst things possible. It also tells me that everything bad I feel is my fault. My first step in therapy was recognizing that this bad voice inside of me is real. The second step was to realize that, every time I fall down this hole, along with this "monster" in my head, there is another voice down there, a voice that is trying to protect me, and that voice is mine. But its hard to listen to it, it took me so long to understand it was there. Searching for help was my first victory in a long time and from that moment on, every time I'm able to tell this terrible voice to shut up and to climb my way out of the hole, it's another small victory. And maybe you will fall down that same hole every day for some time, and it will feel bad, but all that matters is that you find your way out. And no one can do that without help, so don't be afraid to ask for it!
I dont even know where to go for treatment
I'm too broke 🙂
Yesterday I asked my dad to see a therapist... I have an appointment on Friday! I'm really nervous, but looking forward to it

What if I have almost all of them?
@@user-sl4kc6mf3p same, i just keep telling myself it's just bad mood nothing much but others just say there is something wrong when i just feel fine, i am fine, right? i just don't feel it's actually depression just not good mood, yea...
@@shuhadajohari7150 I was thinking the same while I read the comments, but I have all of these symptoms and 7/9 of the video so... I think I have to go to a phycologist first
I love this ladies voice.
PS. Get ready to tear up a little
How many signs did you relate to?
Psych2Go this isn’t the video I wanted to see but it’s probably the one I needed rn.
Psych2Go unfortunately all of them. They were spot on.
Amanda Silvera has her own UA-cam channel
Yea idk why i always start crying watching their videos
Who else knows their family calling them lazy because we have a hard time doing anything?
Or them being angry with you for isolating?
Or them constantly picking on you for not cleaning your room?
The voice is so calming and friendly and basically the sound of it says: hey I’m here for you, what you’re going through is tough.. I know and understand.. I’m here ✌🏻
I sleep when my head hurts. When I wake up my eyes are tired. If I don't overeat, I don't feel like eating at all. Sometimes one of my leg hurts (either left or right). And all i do is touch the screen of my phone because I don't feel like talking to anyone. It's been years that I've been living like this.
Me too 😞
You are not alone, I’m here if you need someone to talk to. Not trying to be rude or play hero, just genuinely offering help (since talking to someone and just letting your thoughts out really helps sometimes). Have a good day/night, greetings from Germany xx
Dont worry. Similar things too. I felt like internet is a big part thats keep me sane. My relationship with other gotten worse. I always overthinking about everything. And its all negative. I dont even want to go to school because im too tired and im always stress. Whenever I have works or projects, i either focus on it too much to the point im stress and feels depressed, or im give it too little thats its make me feels guilty all the time....
:'(
same. and when my parents take me away from my electronics, well i just feel lost and scared.
To anyone who is dealing with depression: you're loved! Don't give up, things will get better! :)
Tysm. :)
Thanks💕 wish I could hug you
(Pretty sure I dont have depression) I know, but I dont think I deserve it lmak
Waiting has never proved effective. patience has run dry, expelled and expired are my desires, for they are unobtainable.
I think the problem is not about getting love but treatment
Social isolation is seriously major issue for today's generation.
So true, we are so isolated, covid 19 made it worse
I really like how this art style goes very well with the script. It is very mellow, calm and aesthetic like. Perhaps such a style like this could encourage people with actual untreated depression to go out and see a real therapist to get diagnosed. To everyone, stay strong! :]
When you have strict parents and they won't believe you are depressed💔they will always say you are just overthinking
My big issue I've had to deal with for longer than I can remember is procrastination. I would spend more time thinking about how I don't want to do something, how long its going to take and how little free time id be left with, if any, or wait out for someone else to do it so I won't have to. It's made worse when it takes me longer than most people to do anything, depending on what it is; in turn this makes me dread doing anything super time-consuming and that makes me want to procrastinate even more. Because I know it's gonna be that much longer just for me to do it and chances are it won't be good enough.
I cant even tell anyone how im feeling because im trying to show how i’ve change cuz i was known to be the black sheep in my family and I don’t want my dad to be stressed and I really wish my siblings would talk to me again, I haven’t talked to them for about a year and a half now. I isolated myself from everyone even my bestfriend😔 i feel like im on a loop, also trying to show my dad that im okay (I don’t live with any of my siblings i feel like everyone hates me)
@@angelapambid160Look the main issue is that what looks like depression now can lead to other mental problems later if left alone like that. I believe what doctors essentially do is try to prevent it from escalating it into other diseases that will be a lot more difficult to handle than what you are going through right now. I don't want you to panic but if you are depressed for too long and you have noone supporting you or you have no one to talk about your problem for too long, it's really might change into something that is more damaging than what you are going through. You have heard of psychosis, bipolar disease, schizophrenia, obsession right.You might think your brain can withstand anything but that is not true. Brain is as vulnerable as any organ in your body,if you abuse it too much it will fail like any other organ.So please find someone, a relative or friend anybody you can talk to now. Learn about depression thoroughly from official websites.That way you will understand it's not something you should ignore. The prejudice that our parents generation have is there with us too,so we don't talk about it, we don't seek doctor.We want to be brave about it and keep our dignity. Please say sorry to your father and ask for help so it doesn't ruin your future. If the family comes to know about these diseases that can happen post depression. They won't hold their anger if it might ruin your future. The worst thing is keeping repressed feeling like guilt, anger or sadness for too long.Just go to a good doctor with your father and say everything that you feel there, the doctor will take care of the rest.And please remember depression is not a mental state, it is a disease.
I've recently recovered from jaw surgery for a couple months now and went for a follow up check. Ofc before and during recovery, I was dealing with a lot of emotions. The surgeon/doctor told me that its very unusual that my weight and appetite weren't doing so well. She wrote up a note for my primary doctor and the second i told my mom the news, I get blamed for everything wrong. Its not like I chose to not feel hungry or to have a loss in appetite.
@@hoothootgutgutpooftim2378 thank u so much for this:) i wanted to seek help but the thing is my dad doesn’t have any money for a psychiatrist, $20 is P1,000 and that’s a big amount of money, he’s already facing a lot of health problems and i hate it when he gets stressed cuz i feel guilty idk why. Also feel like I’m just over reacting and sensitive 🤷🏻♀️
I was diagnosed with depression about a month ago, my parents didn't let me get my antidepressant cuz they say it's all on my mind and I can just not be lazy :")

Pls tell

You can share your thoughts so that we could be also aware
Sorry to hear that
Well yeah there are many more signs but they can’t put all of them into one video
I think one of the hard parts about depression is how it disguises itself in your head. I’ve been diagnosed with depression, I’ve had it for so long I don’t remember if there was a before exactly, yet still after years of having it I somehow convince myself I’m exaggerating and have all these symptoms that I don’t realize I have until I look back on the fact, and I feel dumb for not realizing. It’s like I can’t trust myself sometimes. But at least I’ve made it through this before, I will again and so will you if anyone reads this.
Same. I can remember experiencing periods of depression as far back as 10 years old. Gotta love those brain chemical imbalances am I right
that’s what i’ve been doing for years, i feel like i’m exaggerating
Oh my this is really relatable, I had it since 2019, and I've only come around it a few months ago. I thought I was perfectly fine but my mom used to cry to my friend's mom telling her about me
That's me. I've just realized that. I remember the doctor telling me "wth madam you should've met someone and done something way before it got that bad !!". It was 3 years ago.
Anyone else finding out more about themselves from the internet than from their Therapist or just me? 😐
Try some shroom,

You’re not lazy. You’re Intelligent and uninspired.
Plot twist: they have it and in denial. They force busy-ness to bury any fact that they get uncomfortable feelings if they're not working. Life doesn't stop just because you're sad but you're not meant to overwork yourself into a husk who is angry, agitated, and hasn't had proper slept in years due to overworrying about things beyond your control or trying too hard to take care of everything. Plus not having the news on all the time would help, since the media has too little good to talk about these days; taking a break from it and social media. It might help to write things out. Society, our minds, are overloaded and refuse to admit we can't actually keep up. We're bobbing desperately to stay afloat, not swimming.

Idk man the present doesn't seem so peaceful
I have all of these but i refuse to believe i’m depressed.
Same bro besides the drug or what’s its called abuse because I don’t have that and I’m at young age to have that type but yeah I looked up depression symptoms and the whole time I was like “nah just coincidence I can’t have this for sure I don’t have reasons plus can’t always trust the internet” 💀 also I put in my head “it’s a waste of damn money if I don’t have it so what’s the point of going when I don’t think I have it and I don’t want it even though it’s good to make sure”
same, i just think im doing it for atention, im not tho, only my mom and a very close friend knows (wich he was who got me into thinking i am depressed)
Awesome artwork! Please keep this artist.
Partially because some videos of you I took the step today to seek some mental help, because sometimes I started crying out of nowhere and had suicidal thoughts (will never act on them, but then being there is weird. Although they disappear in 5 minutes...)
Soon I've a meeting with some psychologist + they'll give me medicine for my depression.
Can't thank you enough for making videos like this.
I didn't know memory loss was part of depression, but now it makes hella sense lmao i hope my memory gets better now with getting treatment & meds
I find this makes so much sense. When you're depressed, you may not be "in the moment", not interested or engaged, very distracted and emotionally tired. All of those things pretty much prevent information from being fully absorbed and thus, recalling it is much more difficult.
I've had memory loss for a while same with the gastric problems and loss of appetite but I don't think I'm depressed I think I'm just introverted
@@iwannacry8218 same here-
@@iwannacry8218 I also have appetite loss. I used to be known for my constant grazing on food, but for the past 3-4 years, due to chronic severe anxiety and stressful life events, my appetite has literally been abolished. I feel like I have no stomach all day, and only just begin to feel a bit hungry around dinner time after I take my Klonopin. If I do have to eat during the day (for a social situation, etc), I can only usually manage a sweet dessert type of thing, as I find sugary foods less filling than savoury. Even then though, I get SO full and end up in the bathroom within 45 minutes!
Trust me, I always forget important things and remember the things that pulled me deeper into this hell hole. Even seeing the ones who hurt me makes me even bitter
Me:*have some of this sign* I think I depression.....
School: Oh no! Anyway....
Not sure if this means much, but school isn’t always the best place to look. Looking online sometimes can be the better way to go. There are some great sites out there for online therapy!
Yea, school is trash in this case, it's why I never even bothered seeking a counselor at school to discuss my almost depression problems
@Karen luvs Jesus my school doesn't collect tuition fees, elementary and high school are free for everyone and the environment at my school that I've seen so far is really good, it's just, i never talk to adults about my problems, I'm really not someone who trusts easily and i couldn't talk to them about anything personal without totally regretting it and fearing they'd let it slip. So yea, ig in a way you're right that schools can't help you with those types of situations
*someone has a severe mental disorder and is explained by parents
School: understandable, go do a presentation in front of the school
I just really need to say i love ur pfp its the best also i love ur name
As time goes by and videos like this pop up and remind me of how I feel more and more sure that I have depression, I get scared and pressured with myself on what I should do. I remember times where people I know downgraded how depression is and it makes me feel worse and also forces me not to say anything. I'm just waiting for a time where I can get diagnosed in silence, without anyone downgrading what I truly feel, and moving on from this dreadful daily life I have of combating almost every sign in this video.
I hope my body and heart can outlast all the bad thoughts I have till the day I know for sure that I do or do not have depression, and if there is, to get treatment for it.

I really don't wanna have depression, because for 2 main reasons. 1: It just feels awkward only IMAGINING walking up to my mom like "Hey, I'm suspecting that I have depression!" And 2: I just don't want to go to the psychiatrist. I don't know why, I just don't wanna go there.
why is this me?
@@beetchain470 Because it is.
Why? It is not a shame to seek for help, I ended up waiting more then two years to do so and I really regret it. Doing therapy with an appropriate professional (some didn't really work out) was the best thing to me and it really helps a ton of people.
Taking care of your mind is just as important as taking care of your body. I hope you can reconsider this one day.

I might get a good grade on a test but still beat myself up about it if I missed a point or two
I might be amazing at something but tell myself I suck
I might know the right answer but I won’t raise my hand.
I might have some really close friends but I feel as though I can’t tell them anything.

Shit I don't remember writing this
My best tool to help me explain my feelings to my new therapist
Over quarantine, the memory thing became strangely relatable, now I remember very little of just my normal day-to-day life from the past couple of months, when before I could remember a lot more. Sleeping doesn’t come as easily either, and my appetite changes between wanting a LOT to eat and just absolutely nothing. I’ve also had random and unexplainable stomach aches on some afternoons after school, and my muscles are constantly sore, but I have no idea if I’m just being a silly needy teenager and overthinking everything.
"Aches and pains" "migraines and depression" "memory loss"
Me: that's the reason why I've been complaining about my head aches and my body pains and sometimes when I'm at my work or somewhere I always forget something or what am I doing in that place. but I already know that I'm depressed for 1or 2 months from now🙃
“Seek for professional help instead of self-diagnosing”
for those who have depression, a piece of advice I guess, makes things at least more bearable for both yourself and those around you:
don't make depression your personality trait or it will be harder to abandon it, if you can't afford therapy for whatever reason or even if you do, try everyday to overcome it. Thinking "this is who I am and there's nothing to be done" is probably one of the worst things you can do.
I figured my lack of motivation and the fact that I’ve completely lost interest in all the things I use to love to do we’re probably because of depression.Ive noticed over time it’s harder and harder for me to remember things and very hard for me to focous on anything either and I always thought i was just a moron but didn’t know it could possibly be because of depression too.Ive been doing a couple different drugs for quite a while now just to simply have something to look forward to throughout the day and to take my mind off stuff.I keep trying to fix this all by myself because I’m not comfortable telling people how I really am inside and don’t want people to look at me differently or be concerned.I feel like I’m just wasting my life away just always trying to be happy instead of accually being happy and enjoying life.I don’t know what to do but it’s atleast comforting that I’m not the only one although I don’t want anyone to feel like this and I hope you all find happiness soon. Thanks for the video
Holy smokes my man. The way your comment basically summed up my internal struggle (in which I am still kinda in denial about) gave me chills + the fact that you just recently have commented on this video.
As someone who usually tends to bottle things up I can safely say you might wanna try to open up to someone you trust even if it is just a teeny tiny amount at first. I know it sounds super cliche but talking to someone really helps with quieting down some of those thoughts.
You’re not on your own

My mother never believes me when I tell her about my problems and even if I’m feeling sick. She told me it was just in my brain. She thinks I’m imagining things. I experienced heart aches and headaches but my mom just told me not to think about it. I opened up to her before but she got mad telling me that I’m responsible for whatever I feel. Now, I never tell her anything even though she notices some changes. Sometimes she asks me what am I feeling? Why am I always sad? Why do I have sad eyes? But I never answer her. I just stare at her wanting to say everything but there’s something wrong in my brain that making me remember the words she told me before. Sometimes, when she ask me why I’m not smiling, I’ll stare at her for a moment and smile saying I’m okay or I’ll just laugh and will tell her she’s imagining things
I'm sorry you are going through that, I know from personal experience how it feels and how helpless you might feel. But remember you are not alone. Talk to someone else who is willing to listen, I'm sure there's someone. Besides, I think your mother is interested in you and how you feel... perhaps she told you not to think about it because she is the one who doesn't want to think or listen, knowing how hard it would be if you have depression. Maybe, and I'm guessing here I don't know nothing about it, she's trying to turn a blind eye as a protection. Of could be because she doesn't know the symptoms or don't believe in this disease. My mother was just like her, but after opening up and talking with professionals she understood. Now she is 100% supportive and positive and she's always helping me, even now that I am overcoming depression and I'm not as bad as I was. Just keep those different scenarios in mind and don't try to pretend nothing is happening when it is. Seek help and talk to her. Reading the last lines of your comment I think she really cares.about you and how you are. Just keep fighting. Everything will be okay I promise.

You don't have to feel bad about your looks, you're very cute! I've dealt with depression all my life and thanks to my bad confidence I usually feel bad about the way I look, that's why I said that, cuz I know exactly how it feels.
i feel you.
Hi Nicole! I have a god-daughter with similar mother issues. You can't take care of anyone else unless you take care of you. Not sure what is going on with Mom, but don't go to her for help or support. She may well be right its all in your brain but not how she meant it.
I posted this for someone else but these suggestions may help:
first, make time for yourself. I use a calendar and make appointments with myself. I have two rules for everyone: I need 5 days notification for anything, 2 for an emergency; and its the other person's responsibility to make sure its on my calendar. I used this successfully for many years. You will have time for yourself if you manage other peoples' time with you. You will have time to decompress and think more clearly.
second, get exercise. Go for a walk, even 20 minutes per day. Do what you like. Ideally, you need to sweat for 35 minutes at least 3 times per week. Your body will feel better and the body can help the mind.
third, eat right and eat when you should. Don't skip protein for breakfast. Eat fresh foods.
fourth, look at all the Rx and OTC drugs you are taking. You could have some interactions there.
fifth, you have to have a best friend. Mine is my cat. During the pandemic, my family and friends essentially abandoned me after a major operation in July. I was on crutches for over 5 months. If I did not have lots of preps, I would have been in real trouble. Sometimes it comes to that. Expect negative feelings if its something like that, its only natural.
sixth, do not compare yourself to anyone else but you. Habits take 21 days to make or break. Atomic Habits is a great book.
Hope some of this works for you. Just remember, there is only one of you in the world and you are irreplaceable.
I feel like I can just fall asleep by hearing your voice
