Depression really hits differently when you're stuck with no one to talk to. It's like that moment when you're just like, "Wow, there's legit no one I can spill my feelings to." Everyone else is wrapped up in their own issues, and you don't wanna bother them with your own mess.
To put it plainly God doesn’t want you depressed one of the fruits of the spirit is called Joy (Happiness). Jesus wants to give you joy that never runs out. Don’t give up, ask Jesus for help and watch your situation flip. God wants to show you He is real if only you would let Him. You have nothing to lose but everything to gain. Psalm 34:18 The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit.
That's exactly how i feel. I don't even talk to my wife about things, she has her own family drama to deal with, why would I want to add more stress to her. Instead I just suffer in silence and go through the motions.
@yetundekayode4915 So true. The worst thing is when you finally open up leaving all your inhibitions and they use it against you or belittle your problems. That happened today with me, I couldn't even speak further. I went to the restroom, started crying the most and I wanted to kill myself. Any suggestions on how to cope up with this kinda things?
@Jan Kowalski u can't help urself fully when ur depressed. Obviously u didnt listen or take away anything from the video. Depression makes you think differently it's hard to just change ur mind when u c and feel things differently. U can't just wake up one day and say "oooo yeah I'm fine, I'm gonna just get outta bed today and b super happy abt it 👌" like dude no it's not that easy.
Jan Kowalski Depression is not something completelly rational,you can't say something like that and expect it to work just because its simple "logic",you could turn on the keys of a car and expect it to work,even throught its broken,because its logic acording to you.
Jan Kowalski really thanks I didn’t think about that 😒 you really don’t get it, you need to be empathic and think about the people that suffer it because believe me it’s not that simple because depression comes with many other issues and in many other ways so no helping yourself it’s not just “an easy option”
@@gladiusbladeofthenorth9939 you guys say you want help but yall don't even consider trying and simply reject it every time. You won't get better that way.
I just told my brother 10 min ago that every morning I wake up and think ‘not again’ and then to see your comment actually broke my heart that you’re feeling this way too
One of the worst parts of depression is questioning whether happy moments in your life are truly happy and if that’s what happiness really feels like and just not knowing.

@@mouslimalg7771 Simply repenting and relying on God’s mercy will not work for you because it is not just, and God is just so He will execute Justice for all parties- the sinner and the one who was sinned against. If I go to court and I say to the judge “oh I’m sorry for what I did I will repay what I can and I won’t do it again” the judge will say “I’ll make sure you don’t do it again by sending you to prison”. Now if the earthly judge is just how much more God (the epitome of Justice). But if someone pays your fine then the judge can show mercy and set you free because justice was done.

Hits deep. Never realised it, but now I look back at recent moments where I laughed with people, but right after that, when I stopped laughing, i can see how I didn't really felt like things were laughworthy, I just thought it was the socially apt thing to do. And if you ask me what would I do to make me happy, I wouldn't know.
Where I use to work at there's a guy who is always smiling kind and friendly. He gets along with everyone and is the best of all of us in costumers service and the most positive person I know. He gave advice that sees me through the toughest time in my life. He seems to understand people and knows exactly what to do and what to say to anyone and everyone. Then one day he didn't come to work. We finally found out he took his own life.

I've tried so many times to open up but it feels like they aren't listening to me. They keep brushing it off or they tell me that I'm dramatic or that I need to be more grateful. And I'm trying.
i usually don’t comment but, my boyfriend knows i have depression and has been trying so hard to get me to open up.. every time he tries, i push him away and i don’t even mean to. ☹️
Im the complete opposite i tell people not to ask how i am unless they really want to know because most dont They ask out of politness and expect you to say fine or ok .They dont really want to know or even care .
My “I’m fine” has slowly drifted to become “I’m just tired.” It’s easier to say instead of trying to explain to someone the mental torment my depression makes me endure
@Jan Kowalski trust me it's really not that "simple"......once u went into depression,even walking through the different path will seem impossible....!
@Jan Kowalski we can control our body ...but what abt mind!?...it's really not about doing new things,it's abt u want to and u don't want to at the same time...u won't feel a thing...u will feel like there's no hope..all is despair...u will feel there's nobody for u....!even u will lose hope on yourself...I appreciate,probably u r trying to help...but sitting over there and commenting "do this,do that,it's really that simple" is not helping at all....and btw u really have to be in our shoe to feel our pain n I don't think u actually know what depression is!
it’s really hard when you’re doing better and you think "yes man! this is finally it, i’m free from depression“ and then something happens, or sometimes nothing really happens, and you feel worse and worse and you kind of don’t notice until it’s too late and you’re really bad again and the happy times feel like distant memory
Yeah this is the part I've been struggling with the most. The ups and downs except the ups feel like I'm going up a roller coaster WAY TO FAST and I get suspicious of the good parts. Only to always hit a down like a normal person but still tell myself "I fuckin knew it wouldn't last"
Been on medication for 2 years. It is coming back. I knew I couldnt escape it. But god to feel like that again. I still take it because it stops the suicidal thoughts, now I am just flat. Like a piece of paper left on the hardwood floor.
The fact that you are overwhelmed or scared by 'nothing' is scary, you don't know where the fire is that's burning you apart and unable to extinguish it.
I thought the same for a third of my life... But now I'm here, and that time feels like an old nightmare that felt way more unbeatable than what It really was. It almost makes me laugh.
Jesus wants to relieve you of the pit of depression that the enemy has put you in. He gives joy and peace to those who ask Him. Call upon Him and He will surely provide for you Jesus said "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light He wants a relationship with you but He is too loving to force His way into your life ❤️
I get so irritated when others insist that I feel “grateful for what I have”. I can say the words. I understand on an abstract level that I have much to “appreciate”. But it doesn’t give me a hint of positive emotion. If anything I feel more guilty for not being able to appreciate what I have.
I just feel guilty that I have everything to succeed but I don’t bother. The worst part is, my mom brought that up when I tried telling her I think that I’m depressed
5 years ago I made a post on this channel, I’m here today to say that I’ve become victorious over my bipolar depression. It’s still a journey, but I’ve grown so much and I pray others find this same clarity.

I can relate to a lot of what you are saying, except for one major part. The guilt I feel over my depression, anxiety, and mental health isn’t because I feel bad about thinking I’ve got it the worst. The guilt is that I feel like I don’t have the right to feel like that. People are in far worse situations than I’m in and I am waisting the opportunities I’ve been given.
I have this feeling all the time. This guilt you are feeling is too common but it's just not realistic for a depressed person to expect themselves to live and behave as if everything is normal - it's not and that's something we need to come to accept - without failing to take responsibility for our own lives as much as possible. I hear you about the 'wasted opportunities.' But if there was never any real chance that you would be able to use them, are these 'opportunities' real or just seem real because other people can use them? I know we can know this on the inside, but it's very difficult when people on the outside criticize one for 'failing to live up to expectations' - some people will just never get it about depression and we have to learn to accept that also. It's hard to live with depression for so many reasons. Guilt does not need to be added to the pile of negative things that try to pile up on us. Other people's suffering does not make ours meaningless and unimportant.
The thing ive been taught is everybody goes through there own traumatic experience. What’s hurting you right now may not be as bad to other people but it’s bad for YOU . It’s affecting YOU traumatically. So you have the right to feel what you feel
I feel you brother. It’s like an unbreakable circle. One thing that gives me a bit of a relief about the guilt is that we are all different human beings and we all feel things with different perspective. Of course it doesn’t work all the time but it helps sometimes. Love!
Yeah, I've told myself a lot that it's my own fault and that I have no excuse because there are so many people who have it worse. To be honest I don't really know at this point. I'm not suicidal, I've had some really dark thoughts though and I feel like I'm always sad, but again it's like "other people are suffering way more than you, what right do you have?"
Depression hit me at 25 and now I’m 56 and still battling depression. I work really hard not to go back in that dark hole but sometimes I get tired of this daily struggle.
I heard this saying from someone, it goes like “at the end of the dark storms, there’s a magnificent rainbow” I know this sounds like the stuff everyone says, but I believe everyone deserves a good life, and we should learn to share it with others. I’m sorry if none of what I said makes sense, I’m also battling depression and I just wanted to help you out. Remember we are not alone. We are loved.
Glad to see it really doesn't get better. You know that's one part that's pissed me off to no end. "It gets better" is the biggest and most harmful lie I've been told over and over. Just a heads up for others struggling with depression. It does not always get better. You can try and honestly you have a great chance of getting out. But sometimes it just does not get better no matter what you try. I'm 30, I've had depression since I was 13. And I've been told at least once a year since then about how it "gets better". And I'm still standing out here with my palms aiming upwards next to my head going "uhhhh so when exactly? S'been 17 years. any incite? No? None? Oohhh 17 years wasn't long enough? Ooohh my bad. Leme just fuckin fix that quick *click clack*

Once when I opened up about my clinical depression in my office because I was taking too many days offs, they were looking at me with disgust and disappointment. I thought maybe they'd understand, but they said "it happens Manav and it's funny that a sensible guy like you can't handle these small stressful situations. I mean when I was at your age..." . I realized I made a mistake and that's the reason people often hide their suffering and adversities because society mocks what they don't understand.
Pardon my French, but there is no better way to put it than - F**k THEM! Don't back up, pls. You just stumbled upon the wrong people. There is a friend, a single person in your life you can open up to. I've been going this road for over a decade now. Pls, open up to smb close to you, smb open-minded and caring. Feeling loved and genuinely understood means more than any medication can give you. Sending you nothing but love!

Yep. Unfortunately people like us seem to neglect ourselves and try to help others or in other cases we feel like taking the high road in situations is the right thing to do and people take advantage of that. This is not a world for nice, empathetic people.
Wow. I don't think I've ever heard it summed up so well: "Depression is the biggest, most inclusive club in the world. Anyone in the world can join. But its biggest trick is convincing everyone who's a part of that club that they're the only member."
This is so true! It can be so easy to feel like you're the only one struggling and it's hard to remember that this isn't the case. But it's an important reminder.
@@tiktokuser8498 It means that most people think their depressed emotions are unique or exceptional, but in fact they aren't; countless others experience the exact same things or worse. Your feelings aren't as special as you think they are, so on that fact alone it's goofy to off yourself because of feeling negative feelings.

“You’re too young to be depressed” “you’re overreacting” “it’s just puberty” But it’s not. I’m not overreacting. I’m not too young. Sure I look happy. I’m not though. I don’t know the last time I was happy . Truly happy.
The problem with depression is that you spend so long in denial that by the time you make the realization you are so deep into the water it that there’s no air to breathe.
Depression is an opponent you should never turn your back on, but fight head on by training your mind so as to grow stronger in the battle. Because we learn day by day just how strong you really are when being strong is our only option. You need to believe you can before you do. I know I am grateful for the battle it has allowed me to see beyond me, and that has made me free to build a strong me, that has not turned my back on it but overcome it, so that it is no longer in my way. I wish you all the best to you in your battle, use God's word like it was ment to be used, like a sword.🙏💪♥

Relatable, just know that if you ever want someone to speak out to that there are plenty of us. I for one really am trying to help people out of their depression just because none of you deserve the pain you're going through.
Hurt doesn't even skim the surface. Suffering. That's what depression is. To feel continued pain, not knowing when or where it'll ebb and flow, nor when the riptide will catch you unaware.
The part that hurts the most is feeling like you're just lazy and making excuses for why youre nothing in life...but it all feels real and reasonable..
Oh man, I think like that every day. I've been struggling with depression and anxiety for like 7 years, I tried antidepressants, therapy, doing sports, meditating.. But even though I get better once in a while, at some point it all just comes back. Endless circle. And I feel like it's not an illness, it's my personality, it's me being hopeless and miserable.

@@thereisnonegoodbutgodjohn363 for me, "being set free" is being able to leave this life and hopefully go to Heaven. I do feel tired but it's constant and I never feel refreshed. I do pray/speak to God very often and I know what my purpose here on earth is. Only after I fulfill that can I leave this life. I have had a tough life and I am supposed to use my bad experiences to be able to reach out to others who feel like they can't go on. I feel like a fraud because I hate living with the loss of close family to tragic and scarring events. I hate living with chronic physical pain too and it kills my spirit every day. I have struggled with MDD for over 20 years and that is nearly 1/2 my life. I feel so tired, defeated, unloved, helpless, burdened, and hopeless plus many, many details that I left out that complicate it all.
Probably the worst thing about depression is feeling completely and utterly alone in the whole world, as if no one else understands or feels the same thing you're going through.
And even when people say they can relate it’s almost like I can’t believe it. You would think talking about it with someone who has the same struggle would help but it doesn’t at all. It seems so personal.

Hello my beautiful fellow human beings. You don’t know me, and I don’t know you all, but allow me to introduce myself: I’ve been diagnosed with persistent depressive disorder in September 2019. It’s a form of chronic depression that I had to struggle with since I was 6-7 years old, but it went undiagnosed and untreated for many years, until I had a mental breakdown. I tried to kill myself two months after the diagnosis, when I finally realised that I might be condemned to feel that way for the rest of my life. Why am I telling you this ? Because I can relate with the guilt you’re feeling right now. I too felt sorry for my loved ones, I felt guilty of being abnormal, guilty of not being happy, even though I seemingly had everything for me. I felt like my existence was an unfair burden that they had to unwillingly carry. It was terrible. I felt terrible. Like a monster in human form. But then, I received help. Firstly, from my therapists, who gave me an outlet to talk about my feelings, letting me understand what I was experiencing and why. Secondly, from my treatment, that nurtured my ill brain back to an chemical equilibrium, allowing me to see things a bit more clearly. And last but not least, from my loved ones. They reassured me of their love and care for me, made me understand that it wasn’t my fault if I was the way I was : I didn’t choose to be born this way, I didn’t choose to experience what I did, I didn’t choose to be depressed. I simply was. And because of that, I understood that the burden of my sickness, which was indeed real, was one they were more than willing to share with me. Because they loved me. Even in the imperfection of my suffering, they loved me. So, if possible, don’t feel sorry for your loved ones, your parents, your family: more chance than none, they are more than willing to share the burden of our depression. Because they love us. And that’s what love is all about. Sharing is caring. I care about you all, Stay strong. Stay alive. It can get better, eventually 💜
I honestly can’t tell if these videos are helping or making me worse. It’s like a weird mix of “wow, that’s me” and “wow, I’m screwed”. Good luck to everyone seeking help❤

When I would eat something unhealthy it would race hard. One night it was racing hard and a tall figure in white appeared and was praying towards the picture of Jesus in my room, he said something like “please don’t let him die from a heart attack”, then soon after he disappeared and I heard the audible voice of God tell me some stuff then that voice stopped then I felt my body being lifted and life being pumped back into my heart and I was healed thank God, Jesus is God and He is very loving and a miracle worker.

@oakteeth buckshart I am currently in the last part you mentioned, can't even shower. I am diagnosed bipolar but we are now thinking that it might be something else. Seeing a new doctor. I might change my meds
So very true - and that's because we (not unwisely) hide it from everyone else because what can they do about it anyway and it'll probably just make people pull away. Which it might. But I think depressed people can interact with each other relatively 'normally' as it were - on a similar wave length. And it's also very true that there are varying levels of depression and that is a pretty extensive scale and it depends also on where we are on the scale how much we can communicate. Doing it in this writing format makes it possible for me. Best of luck to you.

I’m sick of people telling me to “change my attitude” or “think positive”. It’s not an attitude. It’s not about being positive. At this point it’s just about staying alive. Every little task feels so overwhelming and difficult and I feel like I’m doing everything wrong. I don’t know how to live this life and I have this terrible feeling that I don’t belong here. But I don’t want to die and I would never kill myself. I just want everything to magically sort itself out because I am incapable of doing anything by myself. Gosh I feel so worthless and weak. Edit: hi and thank you for the upplifting comments. Things are better. Nowadays I dont dare to say things are good even if they are because after saying it I’ve always hit the rock bottom once again. But all of you who relate, it might get better one day. It also might get worse but we have to keep going because of the hope that it might get better. I love and appreciate and respect all of you. I wish you all the happiness in the World because you deserve it. Stay alive ❤️
In short, I think the right answer is the human brain is... retarted, for lighter words, and the only way to completely overcome depression is to find a cure honestly, until that happens you'll just have to cope with it by doping yourself up with things that make you happy... Another piece of advice i can give is to stop thinking that everyone life is perfect and to honestly stop thinking life is perfect in general or it needs to be, because if it were so, you'd practically would already be in your idea scenario, but life isn't like that, life is a game, you spawned in it with no control, and you have these elements in the game, now you have to overcome those elements (revert back to what I said above this) And for those who don't understand the game theory, basically what I'm saying is there are things in life that are literally out of your control and you have no choice but to accept that fact, weither good or bad, it will be there no matter what, (just as depression) so stop beating yourself up about it and just accept what life has given you, because you can only fake not being depressed for so long before it catches right back up to, but then again I'm just giving advice, you don't have to lesson, but if you're tired and exhausted from running away from depression, like me, this is what I've done, and has it worked 100% no, but I'm a lot happier then I was pretending to be A ok
Same goes with me, I don't know what is waiting for me. And this is stressing me out all the time...even I can't sleep at night. Everything seems so difficult for me, I just want it to pass or I die soon.
I believe wholeheartedly, a person suffering with mental illness commits suicide to escape their thoughts or to end the feelings. It's not about dying or death. It's about the only way to guarantee a moments peace from themselves.
This is so accurate. Whenever I try to talk with my parents about my depression (which isn’t diagnosed) they always say that it’s not depression. It’s just normal life struggles that everyone goes through. I don’t have depression, everyone feels sad sometimes. I don’t have anxiety, everyone gets anxious. I don’t have ADD, everyone gets distracted. But these things are NOT things that everyone experiences. Yes, everyone does get sad but depression is so different from that. People need to understand that just because everyone gets sad or anxious or distracted doesn’t mean that our mental illnesses aren’t real.

Lottie Jesus wants to relieve you of the pit of depression that the enemy has put you in. He gives joy and peace to those who ask Him. Call upon Him and He will surely provide for you Jesus said "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light He wants a relationship with you but He is too loving to force His way into your life ❤️

This comment section is legit the most caring and comforting part of UA-cam I've ever seen. Thank you all so much. You don't know me, and I don't know you, but the fact that people can come together and talk about such serious topics is beautiful. Dont forget that you are loved.
When he talked about depression hugging you in a dark tunnel convincing you that you belong there I could not hold it together. He couldn’t have said that any better. The only thing that keeps me from staying in the tunnel is the fact my pets need me, they rely on me. To have them rely on my is the only thing that’s pulling me out of that hug.
for me, having a body is a chore itself. having to move, carry my muscles, wash my skin, my teeth, having to feel warm or cold, sweat, etc, is all a chore. I really wish I was an noncorporeous being or something
I feel this deeply. Breathing is recognized as a chore. An exertion of energy required for survival. My mouth a pit of darkness I gasp through. Forced. Required. Enslaved and imprisoned.
I RELATE SO BAD. Especially when you have acne and you don’t essentially fit into society’s standards of being ‘attractive’. Attractive people get their way in life more easily. But the ones who aren’t have to work their way in. That sounds sad to me. I just want to do what I want without having to worry how I look. I don’t know. But having to take care of my appearance just makes me so sad because no matter what happens you can never escape society’s judgement on your appearance and you can just choose to live with it.
To everyone watching this video... Keep on fighting, no matter what. I am fighting with you. We are all in this together. It is really hard to fight and to continue, still fight. Fall down seven times and get up eight.
Depression gets overlooked by so many. Often triggered by loneliness. It slowly becomes your only friend and separates you from other human beings. The longer it goes on, the harder it becomes to try and regain that contact. If you manage to find some people who can relate and truly understand you, it feels good and most likely you'll over-reach your boundaries and end up pushing them away, slowly. Not many are keen to have a negative thinking person be part of their life, and so the hurt that comes afterwards, is even worse. I can understand why the desire to part this life has majority thought with a lot of us. When the feeling of being happy ends up being like a vacation that you can take once a year if you're lucky, it's so difficult to keep a positive outlook because the day to day living is just not pleasant. I hope you surround yourself with great people that cherish you, and keep them part of your life.
To put it plainly God doesn’t want you depressed one of the fruits of the spirit is called Joy (Happiness). Jesus wants to give you joy that never runs out. Don’t give up, ask Jesus for help and watch your situation flip. God wants to show you He is real if only you would let Him. You have nothing to lose but everything to gain. Psalm 34:18 The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit.
"It takes you down a dark tunnel and when you're in that tunnel, it hugs you and tells you that, 'this is where you're supposed to belong.' That is powerful. That is how I feel every day. I actually started crying at that cause I have never heard it put so profoundly into words.
I recommend a supplement called SAM-e. It is a miracle. I have treatment resistant depression and always felt sad all day everyday with constant negative thoughts and had no motivation to do anything. Meds don't work for me. It also has no side effects for me. Please share this because people need to know about it. It took me a lot of digging. It's relatively cheap as well. About $20/month. It is the most prescribed medication in Europe and is a supplement in the U.S.
“do you actually want to die or do you just not want to feel like this anymore.” personally i can’t tell anymore. edit: i’m doing alright now, but for anybody who’s thinking about leaving, please stay. you are loved and you’re worth so much and you still have purpose here. God bless.
Hey guys I was in a bad spot when I wrote this. I hope you guys are all okay and please don’t be afraid to reach out for help. Please hang on, there are so many amazing moments that you will miss out on if you don’t.
For me its both, of course I dont want to feel like this anymore. But if someone shot me I wouldn't really fight it too hard. Just...let it happen. Everynight I just hope a robber comes into my home, puts a gun on the back of my head while Im laying down, and pull the trigger.
I think of it like "The people who see through your Fake smiles, and fake laughs. The people who see the Pain and loneliness in your eyes, are the people you need to let in."
It's just a shame most people can't see through them, it usually takes one to see one, and after a couple of decades you get quite good at hiding it most of the time
The minute you feel down and the day that you sleep’too long’ is the danger zone…Sleeping too long always spirals me downward. Depression is so hard to explain and control, but if you can get into the shower, that is a great first step. That and not over-sleeping.
Do you feel tired? Depressed? Perhaps suicidal. If so you are not alone(Hundreds of Millions suffer worldwide) ; God is standing right next to you waiting for you to ask for help. Give Jesus a chance and watch your life flip for the better and you will be set free. Matthew 11: . 28Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am [f]gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
The worst feeling isn’t crying your heart out, it’s not being able to do that. I’m numb and I don’t know how to fix it. I can’t tell my parents cuz they’ll overreact, I can’t tell my friends cuz I don’t wanna burden them. There’s nothing I can do. Yey I’m broken now.
Be of service to others I know it gives you something. Does rejection hurt you? Go out there, get rejected. Do it so often, that one day it doesnt hurt you anymore and suddenly experience acceptance
It damn aweful when I answer the question, "how are you" with "I'm still alive" and they just laugh it off. They don't realize that that's actually a huge accomplishment to some who almost killed themselves a few days ago, or put down the knife instead of cutting even though they really really wanted to.
The craziest thing to me is I think people who struggle with depression are actually such good people and so grateful and appreciative for the little beautiful things in life. The thing we should be more grateful for is maybe our selves as a whole. Because it's all a part of being human whatever the falsely perfect/in denial part of society might say. Negative thoughts and feelings don't happen without a reason right?

Depression isnt just simply sadness or feeling down. Its feeling overwhelmed, unmotivated, and feeling like something is holding you down. And people just say "Be happy" or "Try this. I did it and it worked for me". Good for you. If it worked for you, great. But please dont always try to help me. Sometimes I just want someone to sit with me and help me with it. Sometimes I want you to help me clean my room or give me flowers.
Just got diagnosed with depression and will attend my first therapy next week. Been feeling so down for so many months and finally got the courage to seek help now. Wish me luck
You’ve taken very critical steps in terms of recovery, I promise it’ll get better for you. I’ve been there, therapy saved my life. I hope it works out for you, stay strong.
i dont know whats worse, hiding your depression from others, or like in my case, opening up to loved ones and having them either make jokes about how i cant fix my sleep for years or discarding my problem altogether cause "some people starve and have cancer".
I'm so sorry for that. I know this feeling. You must know that it's not your fault and you're allowed to feel this way. People are different and one may stay strong during the catastrophe and the other may suffer because of getting bad marks. We should understand that we're different and respect each other. It doesn't mean you're weak, you're just you and you should respect yourself either. You just can find some ways how to protect yourself and be kind to yourself to handle it. I'm rooting for you.
The same here. Now each time I feel even a bit sad my mom asks me: “So are you again depressed?”. I feel neglected because it seems like she doesn’t understand a damn thing about it. Tho people say to share what you feel, I understood that some people are just not capable to understand it. And it’s very sad when some of them are your relatives.
I know this feeling so much. It's so damn frustrating I can't explain..For me the worst part of depression is this : not be understood by your parents. Sometimes they laugh at me do you want to know why?? Cause "I have to take life lightly"..I have been surviving for 4/5 years now...I don t even remember what having a life means...I feel so alone..only reading this depression topic I feel understood. And it's sad. It's so bad to be ignored by those who should hold out their hand without judging you.
I hope you feel better now, but I know it's not easy. So it's okay if you are depressed. I am so sorry that you are not getting the empathy and proper care from your loved ones. Please know that it's okay to be and to feel this way. Here's a virtual hug.💜

“I actually can’t remember how happy felt like” Exactly my kinda situation...I have honestly forgot how a feeling of accomplishment and happiness feels like...A string of professional failures, loneliness and constant negativity... I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy...
Naveen Babu, I hope that you are doing better. Remember, perspective and what society values have a lot to do with how we value ourselves. You are not defined by "professional success". There is a scripture at Acts 20: 35 that has helped me. It says, There is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving".....Science even supports this ancient advice. Studies have shown tthat people who help others less fortunate find happiness from that. You don't have to be wealthy to help others.Find someone who you can help like an older person who you can spend time with and maybe help them with a chore. You take the focus of yourself. This has helped me on days I feel really down. God bless!
@Mr.Anonymous They have buried emotions within themselves > By suppressing these emotions it internalises the problem as it merely displaces the effect > Instead of feeling angry they may develop chronic muscular tension or migraines. Instead of feeling anxiety we may develop bodily symptoms such as digestion problems or an inability to sleep > because of these physical illness they created, it often becomes the new excuse for remaining stagnant
Hey! You! You, reading these comments. Your a million miles away from worthless, your unique and special and capable of amazing. I think your worth a hug
“Depression lowers the saturation and brightness of color” one of my most effective coping methods I’ve learned is to try and see the color again. Look at the sky, or the grass, or a flower.. even if it’s dead grass, try to notice the depth of the browns and the greens. Notice it and embrace it and the saturation will come back.

One of my happiest moments was seeing colors more vibrant after a while of not seeing them saturated for a while (dangerous since I could not recognize certain colors as different)
i want to remind each and every single one of you you’re important and you’re loved. please keep fighting, regardless of how much you want to give up. you’re worth it.
Him describing what it was like to not be depressed reminded me of a walk I had gone on. It was just so pretty. The trees looked amazing and it was a road I had lived on for the past 4 years. It’s not like it was some scenic place I’d never seen. But everything just seemed pretty that day and when I went to talk about it and tell people how pretty it was, everyone seemed to not really care or dismissed it. Thinking back on that moment after hearing this made me realize the one time I wasn’t depressed in a while no one cared because no one realized how different I saw the world Depression doesn’t only change your mindset but it affects how you fundamentally view things and even impacts your memory. I’ve had depression since I was 9 which at this point is more than half my life and I can’t remember what it means to be truly happy. I’ll have times I’ll laugh and I’ll have fun but after the moments over im left with an emptiness again. Things aren’t as vibrant and I’ll often forget things while having depressive episodes. I’ve had times while I was depressed that I’ve genuinely forgotten I’ve needed to eat and gone 3-4 days without eating because my brain just didn’t remember I needed to do that I know no one will probably see this, but it’s at least a decent feeling to get some of it out
I understand this very well. My first day on my medication, the world was brighter and more colorful. I was giggling like a kid again, and just enjoying the day. It's the first time in years that I had felt that way and actually saw the world in bright colors. Like it should be seen... Because I've learned that depression can actually cause a change in your vision. It makes you see in greyscale, almost. And I had gone years with the colors slowly fading, that I didn't even notice it until that day. And I was giddy about seeing all the bright colors again.
Hi. I know I’m a complete stranger but thank you so much for your comment. As I was watching that same part of the video I’ve realized over the past few months, I can’t seem to remember what’s been happening in my life. It’s all a blur. Like my mind has been on autopilot. But I remember one night I was cooking dinner and it actually taste good and it made me soo happy at that moment( like I was actually happy) So I understand exactly what you are saying. I’m seeing a psychiatrist about it. I hope your doing well ❤️
@@Luna-ds4ww don't involve made up religions into mental health issues. Being in nature, being part of a community, etc. Are much better for yourself than praying to a fake God all alone inside.

There are people in this comment section who amazingly manage to sum up my thoughts which I have always assumed that only I could possibly think. Maybe I’m truly not alone
Bradley Tynan When I first sought help many years ago, I read anything I could get my hands on trying to figure out just what was wrong with me. Reading other people's thoughts and experiences was my first step towards recovery. The fact that I was not alone in my thinking became a powerful motivator. To anyone experiencing this, keep pushing on. You've got this! 💕
Hey! I hope you're doing well. I know how tough it can be to fight depression, and I just wanted to remind you that you are not alone. I want to encourage you with three key points: - You are loved, even if it doesn't seem like it right now. - You have a purpose in your life, whether or not it's obvious at the moment. - Your worth is not determined by others; it's determined by who you are and what you do. You're worth so much! Keep on fighting the good fight!

I hate small talk, and loathe talking about myself to others. I feel socially inept and humiliated. I dont have a high opinion of myself because I am not one of those ambitious overachievers with a mile long list of hobbies and passions. Not much gets me out of bed anymore.
freshlimejuice I do agree. Recommended viewing, a short video > (What is true cellular detox and cellular detoxification DR Dan pompa) What is important regarding disease reversal is (cellular health) > wise quote > fix the cell to get well. Regarding disease reversal to a large extent the science is in. Sharing wisdom heals. Thought it was worth mentioning.
freshlimejuice what I learned not to do is compare myself to others. We are all unique as cliche as it sounds. We do as much as we let ourselves to do, as much as we want to do and that is okey , no one should push you to do anything, we ourselves need to first understand the pros and cons of doing anything first. You talk about hobbies and achievements. You imagine something big. So don’t it can start from small things. Once you find appreciation for small things only then you can go higher. You can start from going out of bed, maybe going outside, facing the world, it can be an achievement. Achievements are something we set ourselves, its very subjective and intimate. So feel no shame for them. You want a hobby? Then answer the question what you loved doing as a child? When we are kids we are free spirits not restrained by the societies expectations (only by our parents) but those hobbies that we loved as kids are the purest and most honest things, they resonate with our hearts. So? If you now remember what it was, go for it! Cuz who cares what everyone will think you mental state matters more. Ps. I know that feeling also, I hate small talk, I think it’s pointless because people are more than that. And if everyone became more honest with themselves a world would be a better place.
It’s OKAY to be an introvert. We are all different. Don’t compare yourself to others - it’s okay to just be yourself. Try to live in the moment. Listen to music you like. Just breathe. Just ”BE” ...
I had one passion and that was drawing. I loved drawing so much. It made me happy to see what I created and I was proud of myself after all I would be the only one that would. But I can't find the motivation to pick up a pencil anymore. My depression took that a way from me and I was too weak to fight for it.
Jesus wants you to shout “I love life and I have peace!” Jesus said "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light Relationship with Jesus is the ONLY way to lasting peace and He is the one who will bring you out of a pit of depression and sadness! All you have to do is ask! Peace and love to you in Jesus’s name ❤️
I’ve lost all interest in life and it’s honestly ruined my life. I wish I wasn’t alive but I want to live I just don’t want to deal with this feeling anymore if that makes sense.
You put it exactly how i feel. I thought that its only me having that kind of feelings, both wanting to be alive and not alive :< I lost energy to pursue my hobbies, its like "yeah they still make me feel good, but anyhow i don't have enough will to keep doing em anymore. And when i finally force myself to do them, its fun for a while, but i get distracted very fast and stop. Dont wanna feel like that :
FusionFire, Your comment. It's the one that describes my situation, I know exactly what you mean. Right now I have no reason to excel or go forward, I have no desire to. I miss ambition. I wish I had something to strive for.
There are people who are depressed for many reasons,one being finance. He speaks for a demographic of people who can afford to travel outdoors and with means. A mother who’s profession is of a mental health specialist shows that he has personal recourses. Happy that he is privileged to have this support. ❤
There are certain things you can do that’ll boost the feel good chemicals like dopamine (complete a task, eat healthy tasty food, associate with good people) Oxytocin (play with a pet, play with a baby, Hug your loved ones-parents or children, give someone a compliment) Serotonin (Pray, read the Bible, sunshine, walks in nature, swim, cycle) Endorphins (Laughter, exercise, dark chocolate) Most importantly ask Jesus for help and watch things work out for you. Jesus wants to personally help you; please give him a chance it’s the best move of your life
It's literally absolutely free to walk outside or in a public park. He isn't talking to a "privileged" demographic. It's not a privileged to walk outside and your way of looking at life and always trying to find the privileged "bad guys" must be tiring.

Laying in bed watching this wanting to get up but not able physically mentally spiritually emotionally. there is a weight on my my limbs feel like stones.
Take it step by step. In bed, try moving small parts of your body and start to slowly increase the motion and different parts. As you build momentum take another small step, sitting up in your bed and slowly edge your way whilst acknowledging each movement and progress you've made in that attempt. Building internal positive momentum is important. Small, consistent wins and micro decisions can help you on a macro level.
The question “do you actually want to die or do you just not want to feel like this anymore?” resonated with me so much. When I was probably in one of my worst moments of suicidal thoughts, I remember crying to my dad on the phone how I just was so exhausted and wanted everything to stop and to just not feel like my life was meaningless anymore. Suicidal thoughts are hard to understand, but I think most people who have them don't have them because the idea of death is so great, it is because it is the only way out you can think of when you are at such a low point to get out of that low point. Therapy, medication, and loving family and friends have helped me learn other ways to escape that dark place, but it is very hard to get out of, even when you have sought treatment and help,
LM don’t take this wrong, I love what you wrote, but to touch on the medication recommendation; please take caution as far as dealing with medications for depression. Know your body and feelings to gauge wether a medication is working or if you need to try a new one, AND make sure you take them as often as the prescription says. taking antidepressants irregularity can and will be worse than not taking them at all.
Agreed on every single word.loved ones help u to look at u from outside, tp project urself n situation as a whole. But this is a disease that can't be healed just by conversations even realy supportive.. at time it just gets u again n all that understanding, blessings u live for, are disappearing. I know by myself,,medication can ,but not necessarily, get more of side effects as our brains are all different.. one antidepressant I took hit me that hard that I started to get even more awful thoughts uncontrollably! But again,,its not sa me for all. I deeply hope you find better way of coping ur depression . It gets better, trust. I send my love n support🙏🙌
The Mirror Smiles Back yes.. it is, can somehow relate too. I just think like mainly who want 2 end their lives are wanna live but don't wanna feel that pain anymore coz it's just too much to take at a moment, n no one seem understandable n caring enough. . I know, it's surreal to imagine that you will feel a little bit better.less exhausting after some good time. But you will. How cheesy it wouldn't sound but your life matters. N you are brave that shared little how u feel. Thanks a lpt for that. Coz of you, I'm writing such a long ,hope not nonsense, n getting to know myself better too. Send my love and support ♥🙏
One of the worst things I’ve experienced with depression is thinking “I’m overreacting. I’m not depressed, I have nothing to be depressed about.” And “nobody will believe me. Nobody will care if I disappear ” This is what I have to say to everyone who thinks this. Everybody handles things differently. You aren’t overreacting, you’re struggling. They will believe you, and somebody will always care. Getting the help you need may be hard, but it’s important.
@Despize Perform If someone who is experiencing intense emotions & thoughts that feel real and true to them, it is not overreacting. No matter how it looks or comes across, everyone deserves validation and help.
And also, people get made fun of for it. There’s a kid at school that was making funny pictures, but it was messed up when he drew an emo kid with lines on his arm. When I told him to erase it because I’ve had thoughts of self pain, his other friend defending him saying that they “do it for attention” do I tried to explain it to him, but he didn’t understand
I may be a few years late, but y’all get ready for an essay. I went through severe depression for a solid 18 years of my life, I’m 21 now. That’s only 3 years of my life that I have been.. happy. I’m not going to go into why I was or how it happened. It’s not a thing that you accept, it simply occurs. Depression is a force, the only thing to “cure” it is your own will. You have to find the smallest the microscopic things that make you smile, even the slightest grin to keep pushing. There are days you never wana move, talk to anyone, and get so close to the knife against your throat. I will admit, I have had 2 semi successful attempts, but was brought back both times. I have scars. Mental and physical. But depression, in a way warps your sense of the world. I may be happy now but I sense a calmness and beauty in darkness. Negativity is a kind of art form. Not really sure where I’m going with this jus something me me felt like… I needed to speak. Even if no one ever sees this comment. You’ll make it. Your strong. Your will is infinite and ever lasting. Your human, we all have our flaws. Your mind is forever, your imagination is your tool, and your body is your catalyst. Your loved. Your cared for. You.. will always be you. Even if the demons crawl up your throat, you’ll ravaging your thoughts and feelings, digging their claws into your heart and corrupting your ideas, even if you gut pushed so far down the hole that light no longer reaches your eyes… You’ll make it. You’ll make it out. It.. takes time. It takes strength. I’ve .. lost many friends to their own demons who controlled their hands with tools to end their timeline here. I’ve sat with them many times and have even heard the demons win while speaking on the phone. And many times, many many times, my demons have almost won. I’m not sure again, if anyone will ever see this. But please, hear my words, absorb it, let them soak into the fibers or your being that You will make it. It will end. Find those things that let your heart scream out. Find those things that make your brain roar out its emotions. You will be okay. No matter which point those demons hold is on you, look forward. Move with every step as the ball and chains weigh down your pace. The air warpingnaround your body like syrup. You’ll win. Even if you get so close to letting them steal your life You. Will. Survive. Please, trust in my words. Find that voice in your mind, find that small orb of light that guides you. That light is still you, you are great. Again.. I have no idea where I’m going with this. But for anyone who ever sees this.. please. Keep going. I have conquered mine, I hold a sword filled with every thought I’ve had to swing back at the ghoul hands that drag you to the underworld. You are powerful. You are strong. You are loved. Very loved. You have talents. You are enough. You don’t have to prove yourself for anyone. You are enough. You are.. enough. For anyone who needs to vent, grab hold of a tempory foundation so that they not drift into the endless sea.. I’m here. I have suffered your pains. We are all different. But I’m here. Live strong. Warrior.
Thank you for this post. Your words have touched me deeply. They have literary brought tears to my eyes. You put it so very well and I really resonate with them. Thank you! 🥲
Thanks for that! I might be the lowest in my life right now due to a misjudged decision but deep inside me I know pick myself back up and this experience will make me stronger.
Do you feel tired? Depressed? Perhaps suicidal. If so you are not alone(Hundreds of Millions suffer worldwide) ; God is standing right next to you waiting for you to ask for help. Give Jesus a chance and watch your life flip for the better and you will be set free. Matthew 11: . 28Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am [f]gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
@@mouslimalg7771 SALVATION IS NOT THTROUGH GOOD WORKS Suppose Mother Theresa who helped thousands of hungry and sick people, if one day she lost her cool with one of the needs and killed the needy by poisoning him, she will still go to jail like everyone else. Her good works mean nothing to the judge as a righteous judge only judges you on the bad. The Bible in the old testament is filled with the idea of sacrifice, but one sacrifice was never sufficient it had to be sacrificed continuously, but Jesus the true Lamb of God died as a perfect sacrifice without sin, so either repent and believe in Jesus or get judged by all the bad you did in your life.
I’ve had depression for almost 2 years now and it just completely obliterated my cognitive skills (Talking, thinking, communicating, memory) and I’ve never met anyone with depression as bad as me. I feel like I’m in a dream 24/7 and it’s gotten so bad that I don’t even remember what it feels like to be “normal” and not have it… i can barley even talk to my closest friends and family in person anymore because I get so anxious and my mind is just blank when trying to communicate with ppl smh. I just feel like a walking vegetable with its brain on autopilot mode every second of every day
Wow, you said exactly how I feel. My memory is at its worst right now. What I always say in my mind is that I'm just a husk, living without any control in my life, sorta like a dream state. Whenever I talk to friends now and they want to help its worse because if don't know how to fix myself how will I tell someone else to fix me. My anxiety happens almost all the time, even when I'm in class or talking to an acquaintance. I zone out when I can to have zero thought instead of bad ones, but that also doesn't help at all.
Same situation but the thing is that I don't even have any energy to communicate with my friends, I've been ghosting them for over a year now and I miss them but I just don't have any mental energy to even communicate with them though the phone. I can't go out further than nearest shop. I've been planning to take a walk to a park for so many months but I just can't even do that... Tbh I just want to off myself but I'm afraid of pain and I still have hope that everything will be fine one day even tho I can't imagine that..
For anyone who has similar symptoms as me just know my doctors were completely wrong and that I definitely have Derealization, some of u may be dealing with the same thing but are just told it’s “Depression” so I’m just warning ya.
i want everyone here to know that i see you, i hear you, i’m here for you. i love and care for you, even though i don’t know you. you are loved, you are easy to be loved, and you deserve to be loved. i’m always here if you need to talk. love you guys
To put it plainly God doesn’t want you depressed one of the fruits of the spirit is called Joy (Happiness). Jesus wants to give you joy that never runs out. Don’t give up, ask Jesus for help and watch your situation flip. God wants to show you He is real if only you would let Him. You have nothing to lose but everything to gain.

Ever After I truly hope you can find your people, people who get you. Family is made, not what you’re born into. Don’t settle for people who don’t understand you, and know you’re not alone
Dead Shot Until we learn to love ourselves, the love we receive from others will never be quite enough. Ask yourself what would make you love yourself? What are different aspects from within you that would attract you to you? If you don’t own those traits yet, gear your focus towards developing them. Maybe you don’t love who you are now, but you can always love the person you will become. It’s not about finding yourself, about figuring out who you are- it’s about creating yourself and becoming who you want to be.
He talked about wanting to remember how happiness felt like. I remember having had this thought. I still can't differentiate happiness from being content.

I think I've had depression since childhood. I can't remember ever being happy or content. Moments of joy, sure. But the underlying dark thoughts and feeling of worthlessness are always there. The feeling that this world would be better off without my presence, never leaves.
Hector N. I always just feel like it doesn’t make a difference whether I’m in this world or not I’m ultimately just not important and what I feel doesn’t matter to anyone else. That it’s all in my mind. I’ve always try to tell myself that it’s just in my mind but it that was the case why is it that I always feel this feeling. What I feel is way to real for it just to be in my mind
I *think* got depression since I was 9 or 10, somewhere there, I felt empty when I'm alone and _always_ have existential crisis and feel worthless whenever I'm alone and start to think about something. Till this day (I'm 15)I'm still not sure if I am going through or had depression since I am very social, makes jokes, still hang out with my friends and still laugh. The 'feeling' got stronger as well. The self doubt about it is strong and I don't want to confirm I have depression. *_A part of me wants to be depressed so I don't have to make doubts and lie to myself that I have depression and feel like I'm trying to gain attention by telling people I have it._*
@@thecosmonaut4221 yup, but you gotta push forward either way. And there is someone, probably more. Call someone you care about and just tell them that you're glad they're in your life. It'll make you happy too.
you made me explode with tears when you said there's no point of living when I don't actually know how to be happy anymore because I felt that so hard the most Ive cried in my life😭😥
4 years ago I was considering suicide. I made plans and everything. Then I met my dog. A friend of mine was giving away puppies. I finally met someone who actually loved me. It was the first time I felt happy in years. Now when the suicidal tendencies try to return the thing keeping me going is the thought "If I die no one will take care of her and she will suffer without me" and "I need to be healthy and happy to be able to provide for her" This motivated me to start therapy and make changes in my life. If it was not for this dog I would be dead.
Dogs are not called "Man's Best Friend" for nothing. For me dogs are better than people. If you treat a dog right you will be shown true, unwavering love and loyalty in return. Your dog will be by your side and will defend you until the end.
Same here I thought about it but my animals are my real best friends even tho they hog up my whole bed. If I die I wanna die in the Military. Always wanted to join but cant leave my animals behind
I’m convinced that The only people who understand depression and how it works are those who suffer with it.

Depression really hits differently when you're stuck with no one to talk to. It's like that moment when you're just like, "Wow, there's legit no one I can spill my feelings to." Everyone else is wrapped up in their own issues, and you don't wanna bother them with your own mess.

Depression is not “I need attention” It’s “I need help”

@Jan Kowalski u can't help urself fully when ur depressed. Obviously u didnt listen or take away anything from the video.

If I go to court and I say to the judge “oh I’m sorry for what I did I will repay what I can and I won’t do it again” the judge will say “I’ll make sure you don’t do it again by sending you to prison”.

Never realised it, but now I look back at recent moments where I laughed with people, but right after that, when I stopped laughing, i can see how I didn't really felt like things were laughworthy, I just thought it was the socially apt thing to do.

it’s really hard when you’re doing better and you think "yes man! this is finally it, i’m free from depression“

I can relate to a lot of what you are saying, except for one major part. The guilt I feel over my depression, anxiety, and mental health isn’t because I feel bad about thinking I’ve got it the worst. The guilt is that I feel like I don’t have the right to feel like that. People are in far worse situations than I’m in and I am waisting the opportunities I’ve been given.
I have this feeling all the time. This guilt you are feeling is too common but it's just not realistic for a depressed person to expect themselves to live and behave as if everything is normal - it's not and that's something we need to come to accept - without failing to take responsibility for our own lives as much as possible. I hear you about the 'wasted opportunities.' But if there was never any real chance that you would be able to use them, are these 'opportunities' real or just seem real because other people can use them? I know we can know this on the inside, but it's very difficult when people on the outside criticize one for 'failing to live up to expectations' - some people will just never get it about depression and we have to learn to accept that also. It's hard to live with depression for so many reasons. Guilt does not need to be added to the pile of negative things that try to pile up on us. Other people's suffering does not make ours meaningless and unimportant.
The thing ive been taught is everybody goes through there own traumatic experience. What’s hurting you right now may not be as bad to other people but it’s bad for YOU . It’s affecting YOU traumatically. So you have the right to feel what you feel
I feel you brother. It’s like an unbreakable circle. One thing that gives me a bit of a relief about the guilt is that we are all different human beings and we all feel things with different perspective. Of course it doesn’t work all the time but it helps sometimes. Love!
I hear this
Yeah, I've told myself a lot that it's my own fault and that I have no excuse because there are so many people who have it worse. To be honest I don't really know at this point. I'm not suicidal, I've had some really dark thoughts though and I feel like I'm always sad, but again it's like "other people are suffering way more than you, what right do you have?"

Depression hit me at 25 and now I’m 56 and still battling depression. I work really hard not to go back in that dark hole but sometimes I get tired of this daily struggle.
I heard this saying from someone, it goes like “at the end of the dark storms, there’s a magnificent rainbow”
I know this sounds like the stuff everyone says, but I believe everyone deserves a good life, and we should learn to share it with others.
I’m sorry if none of what I said makes sense, I’m also battling depression and I just wanted to help you out. Remember we are not alone. We are loved.
@@TheAsianKidxDThanks for your comment. Makes sense to me
Keep going you got this
Glad to see it really doesn't get better. You know that's one part that's pissed me off to no end. "It gets better" is the biggest and most harmful lie I've been told over and over. Just a heads up for others struggling with depression. It does not always get better. You can try and honestly you have a great chance of getting out. But sometimes it just does not get better no matter what you try. I'm 30, I've had depression since I was 13. And I've been told at least once a year since then about how it "gets better". And I'm still standing out here with my palms aiming upwards next to my head going "uhhhh so when exactly? S'been 17 years. any incite? No? None? Oohhh 17 years wasn't long enough? Ooohh my bad. Leme just fuckin fix that quick *click clack*
@@slamkam07 I also hit my depression at 16 ... I'm 25... i tried to run away from it keep it far away but it eventually catches on... and it hurts .. It gets so bad that I feel scared even crying alone...
Once when I opened up about my clinical depression in my office because I was taking too many days offs, they were looking at me with disgust and disappointment. I thought maybe they'd understand, but they said "it happens Manav and it's funny that a sensible guy like you can't handle these small stressful situations. I mean when I was at your age..."
.
I realized I made a mistake and that's the reason people often hide their suffering and adversities because society mocks what they don't understand.
I feel you.
I hope you are doing alright.
Pardon my French, but there is no better way to put it than - F**k THEM! Don't back up, pls. You just stumbled upon the wrong people. There is a friend, a single person in your life you can open up to. I've been going this road for over a decade now. Pls, open up to smb close to you, smb open-minded and caring. Feeling loved and genuinely understood means more than any medication can give you. Sending you nothing but love!

Empathetic people are prey for the emotional vampires and other sociopaths , and become even more depressed - no good deed goes unpunished maybe

Yep. Unfortunately people like us seem to neglect ourselves and try to help others or in other cases we feel like taking the high road in situations is the right thing to do and people take advantage of that. This is not a world for nice, empathetic people.
Wow. I don't think I've ever heard it summed up so well: "Depression is the biggest, most inclusive club in the world. Anyone in the world can join. But its biggest trick is convincing everyone who's a part of that club that they're the only member."

The problem with depression is that you spend so long in denial that by the time you make the realization you are so deep into the water it that there’s no air to breathe.
Depression is an opponent you should never turn your back on, but fight head on by training your mind so as to grow stronger in the battle. Because we learn day by day just how strong you really are when being strong is our only option. You need to believe you can before you do. I know I am grateful for the battle it has allowed me to see beyond me, and that has made me free to build a strong me, that has not turned my back on it but overcome it, so that it is no longer in my way. I wish you all the best to you in your battle, use God's word like it was ment to be used, like a sword.🙏💪♥

So true.. The denail itself keeps the depression
Depression is real and hurts in such a way words can’t even describe.
Relatable, just know that if you ever want someone to speak out to that there are plenty of us. I for one really am trying to help people out of their depression just because none of you deserve the pain you're going through.
True dat.
Are you feeling better now ?
I can explain, you practically feel like what those monks call an " Empty Mind" and everything loses meaning...
Hurt doesn't even skim the surface. Suffering. That's what depression is. To feel continued pain, not knowing when or where it'll ebb and flow, nor when the riptide will catch you unaware.
The opposite of depression is not happiness , it's freedom !
💯 freedom from bondage
My freedom is bondage. 😔🤐😠🫤😴😣

The part that hurts the most is feeling like you're just lazy and making excuses for why youre nothing in life...but it all feels real and reasonable..

Oh man, I think like that every day. I've been struggling with depression and anxiety for like 7 years, I tried antidepressants, therapy, doing sports, meditating.. But even though I get better once in a while, at some point it all just comes back. Endless circle. And I feel like it's not an illness, it's my personality, it's me being hopeless and miserable.

@@thereisnonegoodbutgodjohn363 for me, "being set free" is being able to leave this life and hopefully go to Heaven. I do feel tired but it's constant and I never feel refreshed. I do pray/speak to God very often and I know what my purpose here on earth is. Only after I fulfill that can I leave this life. I have had a tough life and I am supposed to use my bad experiences to be able to reach out to others who feel like they can't go on. I feel like a fraud because I hate living with the loss of close family to tragic and scarring events. I hate living with chronic physical pain too and it kills my spirit every day. I have struggled with MDD for over 20 years and that is nearly 1/2 my life. I feel so tired, defeated, unloved, helpless, burdened, and hopeless plus many, many details that I left out that complicate it all.
Probably the worst thing about depression is feeling completely and utterly alone in the whole world, as if no one else understands or feels the same thing you're going through.
And even when people say they can relate it’s almost like I can’t believe it. You would think talking about it with someone who has the same struggle would help but it doesn’t at all. It seems so personal.

Hello my beautiful fellow human beings. You don’t know me, and I don’t know you all, but allow me to introduce myself: I’ve been diagnosed with persistent depressive disorder in September 2019. It’s a form of chronic depression that I had to struggle with since I was 6-7 years old, but it went undiagnosed and untreated for many years, until I had a mental breakdown.
I tried to kill myself two months after the diagnosis, when I finally realised that I might be condemned to feel that way for the rest of my life.
Why am I telling you this ?
Because I can relate with the guilt you’re feeling right now. I too felt sorry for my loved ones, I felt guilty of being abnormal, guilty of not being happy, even though I seemingly had everything for me. I felt like my existence was an unfair burden that they had to unwillingly carry.
It was terrible. I felt terrible. Like a monster in human form.
But then, I received help. Firstly, from my therapists, who gave me an outlet to talk about my feelings, letting me understand what I was experiencing and why. Secondly, from my treatment, that nurtured my ill brain back to an chemical equilibrium, allowing me to see things a bit more clearly.
And last but not least, from my loved ones. They reassured me of their love and care for me, made me understand that it wasn’t my fault if I was the way I was : I didn’t choose to be born this way, I didn’t choose to experience what I did, I didn’t choose to be depressed. I simply was. And because of that, I understood that the burden of my sickness, which was indeed real, was one they were more than willing to share with me.
Because they loved me.
Even in the imperfection of my suffering, they loved me.
So, if possible, don’t feel sorry for your loved ones, your parents, your family: more chance than none, they are more than willing to share the burden of our depression. Because they love us. And that’s what love is all about.
Sharing is caring.
I care about you all,
Stay strong. Stay alive. It can get better, eventually 💜
@@ndaemendotchinda thanks a lot 💜
Im afraid to fall asleep because it hurts so much the moment i wake up.
I feel your pain. What helps me is listening to a motivational video or to music when I'm getting ready to work
I'm so sorry. And I love u already 💗🖤
Same here...😣💔
IKR I like sleeping... you can do what you want have what you want live where you want.... amazing
Yeah, i smoke a blunt, listen to sum positive music. I try to keep myself busy. But once i sit still....
I honestly can’t tell if these videos are helping or making me worse. It’s like a weird mix of “wow, that’s me” and “wow, I’m screwed”. Good luck to everyone seeking help❤

I have some underlying health issues which can lead to premature death, so I heard about fasting can help fix many issues so I decided to give it a go by dry fasting (no food or water) I could only do it for 1-2 days a week without feeling too weak, but a few months in my heart started racing and it let weaker and weaker. When I would eat something unhealthy it would race hard.
One night it was racing hard and a tall figure in white appeared and was praying towards the picture of Jesus in my room, he said something like “please don’t let him die from a heart attack”, then soon after he disappeared and I heard the audible voice of God tell me some stuff then that voice stopped then I felt my body being lifted and life being pumped back into my heart and I was healed thank God, Jesus is God and He is very loving and a miracle worker.

Did you delete your reply? Cause I can't find it anymore.
So very true - and that's because we (not unwisely) hide it from everyone else because what can they do about it anyway and it'll probably just make people pull away. Which it might. But I think depressed people can interact with each other relatively 'normally' as it were - on a similar wave length. And it's also very true that there are varying levels of depression and that is a pretty extensive scale and it depends also on where we are on the scale how much we can communicate. Doing it in this writing format makes it possible for me. Best of luck to you.

Could be a chemical imbalance?
@unusual coconut its the depression just taking over your whole mind, and thats when you cant control it at all
Same
In short, I think the right answer is the human brain is... retarted, for lighter words, and the only way to completely overcome depression is to find a cure honestly, until that happens you'll just have to cope with it by doping yourself up with things that make you happy...
Another piece of advice i can give is to stop thinking that everyone life is perfect and to honestly stop thinking life is perfect in general or it needs to be, because if it were so, you'd practically would already be in your idea scenario, but life isn't like that, life is a game, you spawned in it with no control, and you have these elements in the game, now you have to overcome those elements (revert back to what I said above this)
And for those who don't understand the game theory, basically what I'm saying is there are things in life that are literally out of your control and you have no choice but to accept that fact, weither good or bad, it will be there no matter what, (just as depression) so stop beating yourself up about it and just accept what life has given you, because you can only fake not being depressed for so long before it catches right back up to, but then again I'm just giving advice, you don't have to lesson, but if you're tired and exhausted from running away from depression, like me, this is what I've done, and has it worked 100% no, but I'm a lot happier then I was pretending to be A ok
Same goes with me, I don't know what is waiting for me. And this is stressing me out all the time...even I can't sleep at night. Everything seems so difficult for me, I just want it to pass or I die soon.
"Having the feeling like you're living completely in the moment is like gold dust to a depressive."
Jarryd Tschoerner only you have made me cry. I'm yet to watch the video..
that hit so close to home didnt it?
I don't think I've lived in the moment for about the past 7 years
I believe wholeheartedly, a person suffering with mental illness commits suicide to escape their thoughts or to end the feelings. It's not about dying or death. It's about the only way to guarantee a moments peace from themselves.
That's true. Their motive is not to hurt themselves but to end what's hurting them for a long time.
Yes. This. Death starts to sound peaceful, because, then, then you say “I can rest.”
Too bad there's no way back from it. But depressed people believe there's no other option...
That's incredibly powerful. Thank you for writing it here ❤️
I guess it's true. Feeling dead inside feels so tiresome while being alive that death feels like it would make it feel like a rest.
This is so accurate. Whenever I try to talk with my parents about my depression (which isn’t diagnosed) they always say that it’s not depression. It’s just normal life struggles that everyone goes through. I don’t have depression, everyone feels sad sometimes. I don’t have anxiety, everyone gets anxious. I don’t have ADD, everyone gets distracted. But these things are NOT things that everyone experiences. Yes, everyone does get sad but depression is so different from that. People need to understand that just because everyone gets sad or anxious or distracted doesn’t mean that our mental illnesses aren’t real.

To him who conquers and does not succumb
I'll grant the gift to sit with me on high
On my throne, where we'll both overcome
Like I with my Father in the sky
So listen well, dear heart, and do not fear
For I am here, always knocking at your door
If you but open up and let me near
I'll love and guide you forevermore
I am the vine, you are the branches
Together we grow, strong and true
He who abides in me and I in him
Bears fruit aplenty, their whole lives through
For without me, they can do nothing
They wither and die, their light fades away
But with me, they flourish and blossom
Living a life that's full and bright each day
So stay close to me, dear branches, and thrive
Let our love and bond never sever
For together, we can achieve and survive
Bearing fruit that will last forever
Jesus spoke with authority and grace
"I am the way, the truth, and the life
No one comes to the Father, in this place
Except through me, in peace and not strife"
This he declared, without any doubt
That he is the path to eternal love
And all who follow him, without a pout
Will be guided by the Father above
So take my hand, and do not stray
For I am the way to an endless reward
Trust in me, and do not delay
For I am the truth, and the way forward
Behold, I stand at the door and knock
With gentle voice and heart pure as gold
If any hear and open up the lock
I'll come in and dine with them, young or old
To him who conquers and does not succumb
I'll grant the gift to sit with me on high
On my throne, where we'll both overcome
Like I with my Father in the sky
So listen well, dear heart, and do not fear
For I am here, always knocking at your door
If you but open up and let me near
I'll love and guide you forevermore
From that time on, Jesus preached with might
"Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near
Turn from your sin and live in the light
For salvation is waiting for you here"
He called out to all, both far and wide
To turn their hearts and change their ways
For the kingdom of heaven was open wide
And all who entered, eternal life could raise
So listen now, and do not delay
Repent and be saved, before it's too late
For the kingdom of heaven is here to stay
Waiting for all who will open the gate

Lottie Jesus wants to relieve you of the pit of depression that the enemy has put you in. He gives joy and peace to those who ask Him. Call upon Him and He will surely provide for you
Jesus said "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
For my yoke is easy and my burden is light
He wants a relationship with you but He is too loving to force His way into your life ❤️

When he talked about depression hugging you in a dark tunnel convincing you that you belong there I could not hold it together. He couldn’t have said that any better. The only thing that keeps me from staying in the tunnel is the fact my pets need me, they rely on me. To have them rely on my is the only thing that’s pulling me out of that hug.
I’m with you there. My dog is what keeps me going. I refuse to let him down, living with this crippling darkness is worth it for him.
Agree my pets are what keeps me going bc they need me
i think i should be an actor. i hide my feelings so well, that no one has noticed.

My thoughts exactly!
for me, having a body is a chore itself. having to move, carry my muscles, wash my skin, my teeth, having to feel warm or cold, sweat, etc, is all a chore. I really wish I was an noncorporeous being or something
I feel this deeply. Breathing is recognized as a chore. An exertion of energy required for survival. My mouth a pit of darkness I gasp through. Forced. Required. Enslaved and imprisoned.
Damn you stole my words. Too precise I started crying
Same );
Sounds like a type of Gnosticism
I RELATE SO BAD. Especially when you have acne and you don’t essentially fit into society’s standards of being ‘attractive’. Attractive people get their way in life more easily. But the ones who aren’t have to work their way in. That sounds sad to me. I just want to do what I want without having to worry how I look. I don’t know. But having to take care of my appearance just makes me so sad because no matter what happens you can never escape society’s judgement on your appearance and you can just choose to live with it.
To everyone watching this video... Keep on fighting, no matter what. I am fighting with you. We are all in this together. It is really hard to fight and to continue, still fight. Fall down seven times and get up eight.
ITS Not Easy
Once you hit the bottom, the only way to go is up. Stay Determined.
EL CHAPO some of us are too tired to keep fighting.
😢😢
I'm literally in tears, thank you❤️
Depression gets overlooked by so many. Often triggered by loneliness. It slowly becomes your only friend and separates you from other human beings. The longer it goes on, the harder it becomes to try and regain that contact. If you manage to find some people who can relate and truly understand you, it feels good and most likely you'll over-reach your boundaries and end up pushing them away, slowly. Not many are keen to have a negative thinking person be part of their life, and so the hurt that comes afterwards, is even worse.
I can understand why the desire to part this life has majority thought with a lot of us. When the feeling of being happy ends up being like a vacation that you can take once a year if you're lucky, it's so difficult to keep a positive outlook because the day to day living is just not pleasant.
I hope you surround yourself with great people that cherish you, and keep them part of your life.
To put it plainly God doesn’t want you depressed one of the fruits of the spirit is called Joy (Happiness). Jesus wants to give you joy that never runs out. Don’t give up, ask Jesus for help and watch your situation flip. God wants to show you He is real if only you would let Him. You have nothing to lose but everything to gain.
Psalm 34:18 The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit.
"It takes you down a dark tunnel and when you're in that tunnel, it hugs you and tells you that, 'this is where you're supposed to belong.'
That is powerful. That is how I feel every day. I actually started crying at that cause I have never heard it put so profoundly into words.
I recommend a supplement called SAM-e. It is a miracle. I have treatment resistant depression and always felt sad all day everyday with constant negative thoughts and had no motivation to do anything. Meds don't work for me. It also has no side effects for me. Please share this because people need to know about it. It took me a lot of digging. It's relatively cheap as well. About $20/month. It is the most prescribed medication in Europe and is a supplement in the U.S.
@michael gaynor i see you everywhere in the comments and I wonder, are you depressed? I can't get a proper conclusion from your comments.
@michael gaynor just curious, because i keep seeing you either arguing or going against the grain of majority of the treads i see you in
“do you actually want to die or do you just not want to feel like this anymore.”
personally i can’t tell anymore.
edit: i’m doing alright now, but for anybody who’s thinking about leaving, please stay. you are loved and you’re worth so much and you still have purpose here. God bless.
I feel like dying is the only way to not feel like this anymore
Akmal Ibrahim I feel if I don’t die Ill be depressed for ever
Dying is seems like the only option whenever it happens I’ll be ready
Hey guys I was in a bad spot when I wrote this. I hope you guys are all okay and please don’t be afraid to reach out for help. Please hang on, there are so many amazing moments that you will miss out on if you don’t.
For me its both, of course I dont want to feel like this anymore. But if someone shot me I wouldn't really fight it too hard. Just...let it happen. Everynight I just hope a robber comes into my home, puts a gun on the back of my head while Im laying down, and pull the trigger.
I think of it like
"The people who see through your
Fake smiles, and fake laughs. The people who see the
Pain and loneliness in your eyes, are the people you need to let in."
It's just a shame most people can't see through them, it usually takes one to see one, and after a couple of decades you get quite good at hiding it most of the time
I have people like that but because of bad experiences I learned not to let my guard down, although i really do want to be helped
The minute you feel down and the day that you sleep’too long’ is the danger zone…Sleeping too long always spirals me downward. Depression is so hard to explain and control, but if you can get into the shower, that is a great first step. That and not over-sleeping.
Do you feel tired? Depressed? Perhaps suicidal. If so you are not alone(Hundreds of Millions suffer worldwide) ; God is standing right next to you waiting for you to ask for help. Give Jesus a chance and watch your life flip for the better and you will be set free.

The worst feeling isn’t crying your heart out, it’s not being able to do that. I’m numb and I don’t know how to fix it. I can’t tell my parents cuz they’ll overreact, I can’t tell my friends cuz I don’t wanna burden them. There’s nothing I can do. Yey I’m broken now.
I hate that I don’t know how to help. Please tell me if I can do anything? You need to talk?
Dude, i felt that. Not being able to show emotion, even when you are broke inside.
Be of service to others I know it gives you something. Does rejection hurt you?
Go out there, get rejected. Do it so often, that one day it doesnt hurt you anymore and suddenly experience acceptance
This is my experience too. Emotionless, empty, and lost within my own body and mind.
Honestly, I ended up self harming due to the numbness. It just, made me forget for a bit. Distracted me.
When people ask me how I am, I say “I’m alive.” May seem negative, but it’s a positive step forward that I’m still alive.
I never understood that question. I always feel the same, I couldn't imagine others feel different.
It damn aweful when I answer the question, "how are you" with "I'm still alive" and they just laugh it off. They don't realize that that's actually a huge accomplishment to some who almost killed themselves a few days ago, or put down the knife instead of cutting even though they really really wanted to.
I say that everytime
Lone Wolf Zakuro I respond with that exact same phrase. I can’t believe there’s other people that feel the same way.
That used to be my response also. Now I just don’t bother answering.

Depression chat always helps me
The craziest thing to me is I think people who struggle with depression are actually such good people and so grateful and appreciative for the little beautiful things in life. The thing we should be more grateful for is maybe our selves as a whole. Because it's all a part of being human whatever the falsely perfect/in denial part of society might say. Negative thoughts and feelings don't happen without a reason right?

Depression isnt just simply sadness or feeling down. Its feeling overwhelmed, unmotivated, and feeling like something is holding you down. And people just say "Be happy" or "Try this. I did it and it worked for me". Good for you. If it worked for you, great. But please dont always try to help me. Sometimes I just want someone to sit with me and help me with it. Sometimes I want you to help me clean my room or give me flowers.
if you ever want to talk, i'm always here
i can understand what you're going through
Just got diagnosed with depression and will attend my first therapy next week. Been feeling so down for so many months and finally got the courage to seek help now. Wish me luck
I’m so proud wish you feel better soon
Good luck! ❤️
You’ve taken very critical steps in terms of recovery, I promise it’ll get better for you. I’ve been there, therapy saved my life. I hope it works out for you, stay strong.
Pray to Jesus, He will help you ,like He helped me , I promise , you won't regret . God bless you.
goodluck
i dont know whats worse, hiding your depression from others, or like in my case, opening up to loved ones and having them either make jokes about how i cant fix my sleep for years or discarding my problem altogether cause "some people starve and have cancer".
I'm so sorry for that. I know this feeling. You must know that it's not your fault and you're allowed to feel this way. People are different and one may stay strong during the catastrophe and the other may suffer because of getting bad marks. We should understand that we're different and respect each other. It doesn't mean you're weak, you're just you and you should respect yourself either. You just can find some ways how to protect yourself and be kind to yourself to handle it. I'm rooting for you.
The same here. Now each time I feel even a bit sad my mom asks me: “So are you again depressed?”. I feel neglected because it seems like she doesn’t understand a damn thing about it. Tho people say to share what you feel, I understood that some people are just not capable to understand it. And it’s very sad when some of them are your relatives.
I know this feeling so much. It's so damn frustrating I can't explain..For me the worst part of depression is this : not be understood by your parents. Sometimes they laugh at me do you want to know why?? Cause "I have to take life lightly"..I have been surviving for 4/5 years now...I don t even remember what having a life means...I feel so alone..only reading this depression topic I feel understood. And it's sad. It's so bad to be ignored by those who should hold out their hand without judging you.
I hope you feel better now, but I know it's not easy. So it's okay if you are depressed. I am so sorry that you are not getting the empathy and proper care from your loved ones. Please know that it's okay to be and to feel this way. Here's a virtual hug.💜

“I actually can’t remember how happy felt like”
Exactly my kinda situation...I have honestly forgot how a feeling of accomplishment and happiness feels like...A string of professional failures, loneliness and constant negativity...
I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy...
Yeah, I actually teared up at that part
@Mr.Anonymous You're not actually helping the way you think you are.
Naveen Babu, I hope that you are doing better. Remember, perspective and what society values have a lot to do with how we value ourselves. You are not defined by "professional success". There is a scripture at Acts 20: 35 that has helped me. It says, There is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving".....Science even supports this ancient advice. Studies have shown tthat people who help others less fortunate find happiness from that. You don't have to be wealthy to help others.Find someone who you can help like an older person who you can spend time with and maybe help them with a chore. You take the focus of yourself. This has helped me on days I feel really down. God bless!
@Mr.Anonymous They have buried emotions within themselves > By suppressing these emotions it internalises the problem as it merely displaces the effect > Instead of feeling angry they may develop chronic muscular tension or migraines. Instead of feeling anxiety we may develop bodily symptoms such as digestion problems or an inability to sleep > because of these physical illness they created, it often becomes the new excuse for remaining stagnant
Mr.Anonymous ain’t that simple bubba

Those kind of messages don't really work. You don't know me, so why should I believe such things in the first place?
“Depression lowers the saturation and brightness of color” one of my most effective coping methods I’ve learned is to try and see the color again. Look at the sky, or the grass, or a flower.. even if it’s dead grass, try to notice the depth of the browns and the greens. Notice it and embrace it and the saturation will come back.
LSD no lie

I find that odd. Maybe it’s not a guaranteed occurrence, but colors and lights seem just as vivid as always to me.
One of my happiest moments was seeing colors more vibrant after a while of not seeing them saturated for a while (dangerous since I could not recognize certain colors as different)
i want to remind each and every single one of you you’re important and you’re loved. please keep fighting, regardless of how much you want to give up. you’re worth it.
Thank you. You too.
Him describing what it was like to not be depressed reminded me of a walk I had gone on. It was just so pretty. The trees looked amazing and it was a road I had lived on for the past 4 years. It’s not like it was some scenic place I’d never seen. But everything just seemed pretty that day and when I went to talk about it and tell people how pretty it was, everyone seemed to not really care or dismissed it. Thinking back on that moment after hearing this made me realize the one time I wasn’t depressed in a while no one cared because no one realized how different I saw the world
Depression doesn’t only change your mindset but it affects how you fundamentally view things and even impacts your memory. I’ve had depression since I was 9 which at this point is more than half my life and I can’t remember what it means to be truly happy. I’ll have times I’ll laugh and I’ll have fun but after the moments over im left with an emptiness again. Things aren’t as vibrant and I’ll often forget things while having depressive episodes. I’ve had times while I was depressed that I’ve genuinely forgotten I’ve needed to eat and gone 3-4 days without eating because my brain just didn’t remember I needed to do that
I know no one will probably see this, but it’s at least a decent feeling to get some of it out
I understand this very well. My first day on my medication, the world was brighter and more colorful. I was giggling like a kid again, and just enjoying the day. It's the first time in years that I had felt that way and actually saw the world in bright colors. Like it should be seen... Because I've learned that depression can actually cause a change in your vision. It makes you see in greyscale, almost. And I had gone years with the colors slowly fading, that I didn't even notice it until that day. And I was giddy about seeing all the bright colors again.
Hi. I know I’m a complete stranger but thank you so much for your comment. As I was watching that same part of the video I’ve realized over the past few months, I can’t seem to remember what’s been happening in my life. It’s all a blur. Like my mind has been on autopilot. But I remember one night I was cooking dinner and it actually taste good and it made me soo happy at that moment( like I was actually happy) So I understand exactly what you are saying. I’m seeing a psychiatrist about it. I hope your doing well ❤️
I totally get what you’ve described! My thoughts are with you! 🙏🏼
I saw this. I hear you.
I see this, I hear you, I know what it’s like…and I can’t say much, other than…I hope it gets better. For all of us
i rather sleep all day because being awake is the real nightmare

There are people in this comment section who amazingly manage to sum up my thoughts which I have always assumed that only I could possibly think. Maybe I’m truly not alone
Bradley Tynan ur not bro
Bradley Tynan When I first sought help many years ago, I read anything I could get my hands on trying to figure out just what was wrong with me. Reading other people's thoughts and experiences was my first step towards recovery. The fact that I was not alone in my thinking became a powerful motivator. To anyone experiencing this, keep pushing on. You've got this! 💕
It's like a blanket that wraps around you ....even when its blazing hot outside !!....
Yeah. It's crazy how sometimes random people on the internet can be more understanding than the ones you know in real life.
Hey! I hope you're doing well.
I know how tough it can be to fight depression, and I just wanted to remind you that you are not alone.
I want to encourage you with three key points:
- You are loved, even if it doesn't seem like it right now.
- You have a purpose in your life, whether or not it's obvious at the moment.
- Your worth is not determined by others; it's determined by who you are and what you do.
You're worth so much! Keep on fighting the good fight!

Well I just screen shot this while fighting tears- thanks for these comments!🥰
Are you just saying that because it's easy to copy and paste
I hate small talk, and loathe talking about myself to others. I feel socially inept and humiliated. I dont have a high opinion of myself because I am not one of those ambitious overachievers with a mile long list of hobbies and passions. Not much gets me out of bed anymore.
freshlimejuice I do agree. Recommended viewing, a short video > (What is true cellular detox and cellular detoxification DR Dan pompa) What is important regarding disease reversal is (cellular health) > wise quote > fix the cell to get well. Regarding disease reversal to a large extent the science is in. Sharing wisdom heals. Thought it was worth mentioning.
freshlimejuice what I learned not to do is compare myself to others. We are all unique as cliche as it sounds. We do as much as we let ourselves to do, as much as we want to do and that is okey , no one should push you to do anything, we ourselves need to first understand the pros and cons of doing anything first. You talk about hobbies and achievements. You imagine something big. So don’t it can start from small things. Once you find appreciation for small things only then you can go higher. You can start from going out of bed, maybe going outside, facing the world, it can be an achievement. Achievements are something we set ourselves, its very subjective and intimate. So feel no shame for them. You want a hobby? Then answer the question what you loved doing as a child? When we are kids we are free spirits not restrained by the societies expectations (only by our parents) but those hobbies that we loved as kids are the purest and most honest things, they resonate with our hearts. So? If you now remember what it was, go for it! Cuz who cares what everyone will think you mental state matters more.
Ps. I know that feeling also, I hate small talk, I think it’s pointless because people are more than that. And if everyone became more honest with themselves a world would be a better place.
It’s OKAY to be an introvert. We are all different. Don’t compare yourself to others - it’s okay to just be yourself. Try to live in the moment. Listen to music you like. Just breathe. Just ”BE” ...
I had one passion and that was drawing. I loved drawing so much. It made me happy to see what I created and I was proud of myself after all I would be the only one that would. But I can't find the motivation to pick up a pencil anymore. My depression took that a way from me and I was too weak to fight for it.
I was one of these, but now I can relate so much to your feelings.
I cant even remember how many times I have said "I'm fine" or "I'm okay"
Jesus wants you to shout “I love life and I have peace!”
Jesus said "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
For my yoke is easy and my burden is light
Relationship with Jesus is the ONLY way to lasting peace and He is the one who will bring you out of a pit of depression and sadness! All you have to do is ask! Peace and love to you in Jesus’s name ❤️
I hate how it becomes second nature. How it actually starts to take more and more effort to respond with anything else.
@@Wiseasaserpent Can you not?
desu38 I’m sorry that someone may have hurt you or the church did something wrong but God is perfect and He did not hurt you. He loves you
Not everyone is a Christian.
I’ve lost all interest in life and it’s honestly ruined my life. I wish I wasn’t alive but I want to live I just don’t want to deal with this feeling anymore if that makes sense.
You put it exactly how i feel. I thought that its only me having that kind of feelings, both wanting to be alive and not alive :< I lost energy to pursue my hobbies, its like "yeah they still make me feel good, but anyhow i don't have enough will to keep doing em anymore. And when i finally force myself to do them, its fun for a while, but i get distracted very fast and stop. Dont wanna feel like that :
It’s exhausting
It does make sense and i am in the same situation
Yes. It makes sense. I am going through the same thing.
FusionFire, Your comment. It's the one that describes my situation, I know exactly what you mean. Right now I have no reason to excel or go forward, I have no desire to. I miss ambition. I wish I had something to strive for.
There are people who are depressed for many reasons,one being finance. He speaks for a demographic of people who can afford to travel outdoors and with means. A mother who’s profession is of a mental health specialist shows that he has personal recourses. Happy that he is privileged to have this support. ❤
There are certain things you can do that’ll boost the feel good chemicals like dopamine (complete a task, eat healthy tasty food, associate with good people) Oxytocin (play with a pet, play with a baby, Hug your loved ones-parents or children, give someone a compliment) Serotonin (Pray, read the Bible, sunshine, walks in nature, swim, cycle) Endorphins (Laughter, exercise, dark chocolate)
Most importantly ask Jesus for help and watch things work out for you. Jesus wants to personally help you; please give him a chance it’s the best move of your life
It's literally absolutely free to walk outside or in a public park. He isn't talking to a "privileged" demographic. It's not a privileged to walk outside and your way of looking at life and always trying to find the privileged "bad guys" must be tiring.

Laying in bed watching this wanting to get up but not able physically mentally spiritually emotionally. there is a weight on my my limbs feel like stones.
Brook Saville my exact same situation
i feel you Brook Saville, that bed has a way of trapping you, hard to face another day
Take it step by step. In bed, try moving small parts of your body and start to slowly increase the motion and different parts. As you build momentum take another small step, sitting up in your bed and slowly edge your way whilst acknowledging each movement and progress you've made in that attempt. Building internal positive momentum is important. Small, consistent wins and micro decisions can help you on a macro level.
This is it. This is me in a nutshell.
Brook Saville Totally understand this! Depression is rough. But you got this!!
The question “do you actually want to die or do you just not want to feel like this anymore?” resonated with me so much. When I was probably in one of my worst moments of suicidal thoughts, I remember crying to my dad on the phone how I just was so exhausted and wanted everything to stop and to just not feel like my life was meaningless anymore. Suicidal thoughts are hard to understand, but I think most people who have them don't have them because the idea of death is so great, it is because it is the only way out you can think of when you are at such a low point to get out of that low point. Therapy, medication, and loving family and friends have helped me learn other ways to escape that dark place, but it is very hard to get out of, even when you have sought treatment and help,
LM don’t take this wrong, I love what you wrote, but to touch on the medication recommendation; please take caution as far as dealing with medications for depression. Know your body and feelings to gauge wether a medication is working or if you need to try a new one, AND make sure you take them as often as the prescription says. taking antidepressants irregularity can and will be worse than not taking them at all.
Agreed on every single word.loved ones help u to look at u from outside, tp project urself n situation as a whole. But this is a disease that can't be healed just by conversations even realy supportive.. at time it just gets u again n all that understanding, blessings u live for, are disappearing. I know by myself,,medication can ,but not necessarily, get more of side effects as our brains are all different.. one antidepressant I took hit me that hard that I started to get even more awful thoughts uncontrollably! But again,,its not sa me for all. I deeply hope you find better way of coping ur depression . It gets better, trust. I send my love n support🙏🙌
The Mirror Smiles Back yes.. it is, can somehow relate too. I just think like mainly who want 2 end their lives are wanna live but don't wanna feel that pain anymore coz it's just too much to take at a moment, n no one seem understandable n caring enough. . I know, it's surreal to imagine that you will feel a little bit better.less exhausting after some good time. But you will. How cheesy it wouldn't sound but your life matters. N you are brave that shared little how u feel. Thanks a lpt for that. Coz of you, I'm writing such a long ,hope not nonsense, n getting to know myself better too. Send my love and support ♥🙏
LM medication and therapy is all I have. It’s not enough. The other two always seem to be unobtainable
LM ......being depressive all the time...I don't really habe friends or loved family
One of the worst things I’ve experienced with depression is thinking “I’m overreacting. I’m not depressed, I have nothing to be depressed about.” And “nobody will believe me. Nobody will care if I disappear ” This is what I have to say to everyone who thinks this. Everybody handles things differently. You aren’t overreacting, you’re struggling. They will believe you, and somebody will always care. Getting the help you need may be hard, but it’s important.
@Despize Perform If someone who is experiencing intense emotions & thoughts that feel real and true to them, it is not overreacting. No matter how it looks or comes across, everyone deserves validation and help.
And also, people get made fun of for it. There’s a kid at school that was making funny pictures, but it was messed up when he drew an emo kid with lines on his arm. When I told him to erase it because I’ve had thoughts of self pain, his other friend defending him saying that they “do it for attention” do I tried to explain it to him, but he didn’t understand
I may be a few years late, but y’all get ready for an essay.
I went through severe depression for a solid 18 years of my life, I’m 21 now. That’s only 3 years of my life that I have been.. happy.
I’m not going to go into why I was or how it happened. It’s not a thing that you accept, it simply occurs. Depression is a force, the only thing to “cure” it is your own will. You have to find the smallest the microscopic things that make you smile, even the slightest grin to keep pushing. There are days you never wana move, talk to anyone, and get so close to the knife against your throat.
I will admit, I have had 2 semi successful attempts, but was brought back both times. I have scars. Mental and physical.
But depression, in a way warps your sense of the world. I may be happy now but I sense a calmness and beauty in darkness. Negativity is a kind of art form. Not really sure where I’m going with this jus something me me felt like… I needed to speak. Even if no one ever sees this comment.
You’ll make it.
Your strong.
Your will is infinite and ever lasting.
Your human, we all have our flaws.
Your mind is forever, your imagination is your tool, and your body is your catalyst.
Your loved.
Your cared for.
You.. will always be you.
Even if the demons crawl up your throat, you’ll ravaging your thoughts and feelings, digging their claws into your heart and corrupting your ideas, even if you gut pushed so far down the hole that light no longer reaches your eyes…
You’ll make it.
You’ll make it out.
It.. takes time. It takes strength. I’ve .. lost many friends to their own demons who controlled their hands with tools to end their timeline here. I’ve sat with them many times and have even heard the demons win while speaking on the phone.
And many times, many many times, my demons have almost won.
I’m not sure again, if anyone will ever see this.
But please, hear my words, absorb it, let them soak into the fibers or your being that
You will make it.
It will end.
Find those things that let your heart scream out.
Find those things that make your brain roar out its emotions.
You will be okay.
No matter which point those demons hold is on you, look forward. Move with every step as the ball and chains weigh down your pace.
The air warpingnaround your body like syrup.
You’ll win.
Even if you get so close to letting them steal your life
You. Will. Survive.
Please, trust in my words. Find that voice in your mind, find that small orb of light that guides you. That light is still you, you are great.
Again.. I have no idea where I’m going with this. But for anyone who ever sees this.. please. Keep going. I have conquered mine, I hold a sword filled with every thought I’ve had to swing back at the ghoul hands that drag you to the underworld.
You are powerful.
You are strong.
You are loved. Very loved.
You have talents.
You are enough.
You don’t have to prove yourself for anyone.
You are enough.
You are.. enough.
For anyone who needs to vent, grab hold of a tempory foundation so that they not drift into the endless sea..
I’m here.
I have suffered your pains.
We are all different.
But I’m here.
Live strong. Warrior.
Thank you @Vynir
Thank you for this post. Your words have touched me deeply. They have literary brought tears to my eyes. You put it so very well and I really resonate with them. Thank you! 🥲
Thank you for this. And be proud of yourself
I love you bro/sis! Your words were much needed
Thanks for that! I might be the lowest in my life right now due to a misjudged decision but deep inside me I know pick myself back up and this experience will make me stronger.
It's a pain that cant be explained.. people who end their lives just want the pain to stop. Its a constant battle 24/7
Ikr 24/7, Please read the Quran, it changed my life
Do you feel tired? Depressed? Perhaps suicidal. If so you are not alone(Hundreds of Millions suffer worldwide) ; God is standing right next to you waiting for you to ask for help. Give Jesus a chance and watch your life flip for the better and you will be set free.
Matthew 11: . 28Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am [f]gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
@@mouslimalg7771 SALVATION IS NOT THTROUGH GOOD WORKS
Suppose Mother Theresa who helped thousands of hungry and sick people, if one day she lost her cool with one of the needs and killed the needy by poisoning him, she will still go to jail like everyone else. Her good works mean nothing to the judge as a righteous judge only judges you on the bad.
The Bible in the old testament is filled with the idea of sacrifice, but one sacrifice was never sufficient it had to be sacrificed continuously, but Jesus the true Lamb of God died as a perfect sacrifice without sin, so either repent and believe in Jesus or get judged by all the bad you did in your life.
@@mouslimalg7771ok first tell why u have gone through depression
Amen here losing the battle soon
I’ve had depression for almost 2 years now and it just completely obliterated my cognitive skills (Talking, thinking, communicating, memory) and I’ve never met anyone with depression as bad as me. I feel like I’m in a dream 24/7 and it’s gotten so bad that I don’t even remember what it feels like to be “normal” and not have it… i can barley even talk to my closest friends and family in person anymore because I get so anxious and my mind is just blank when trying to communicate with ppl smh. I just feel like a walking vegetable with its brain on autopilot mode every second of every day
This is exactly how i feel too
That’s how it is for me too. Almost convinces you this is who you are. It’s Torture. Conscious of your own stupidity. It’s the worst
Wow, you said exactly how I feel. My memory is at its worst right now. What I always say in my mind is that I'm just a husk, living without any control in my life, sorta like a dream state. Whenever I talk to friends now and they want to help its worse because if don't know how to fix myself how will I tell someone else to fix me. My anxiety happens almost all the time, even when I'm in class or talking to an acquaintance. I zone out when I can to have zero thought instead of bad ones, but that also doesn't help at all.
Same situation but the thing is that I don't even have any energy to communicate with my friends, I've been ghosting them for over a year now and I miss them but I just don't have any mental energy to even communicate with them though the phone. I can't go out further than nearest shop. I've been planning to take a walk to a park for so many months but I just can't even do that... Tbh I just want to off myself but I'm afraid of pain and I still have hope that everything will be fine one day even tho I can't imagine that..
For anyone who has similar symptoms as me just know my doctors were completely wrong and that I definitely have Derealization, some of u may be dealing with the same thing but are just told it’s “Depression” so I’m just warning ya.
Robbie Williams summed it up perfectly: " I don't wanna die, but I ain't keen on living either"
Similar to Queen's "I don't want to die... But sometimes I wish I'd never been born at all" :)
i want everyone here to know that i see you, i hear you, i’m here for you. i love and care for you, even though i don’t know you. you are loved, you are easy to be loved, and you deserve to be loved. i’m always here if you need to talk. love you guys

When you don't feel loved your mind goes against you
Ever After I truly hope you can find your people, people who get you. Family is made, not what you’re born into. Don’t settle for people who don’t understand you, and know you’re not alone
You are loved m8
God so true. Exactly because of that idea I beat myself up thinking that being this deeply depressed is my fault
Everyone around me loves me but it seems to have no effect
Dead Shot Until we learn to love ourselves, the love we receive from others will never be quite enough.
Ask yourself what would make you love yourself? What are different aspects from within you that would attract you to you? If you don’t own those traits yet, gear your focus towards developing them. Maybe you don’t love who you are now, but you can always love the person you will become. It’s not about finding yourself, about figuring out who you are- it’s about creating yourself and becoming who you want to be.
He talked about wanting to remember how happiness felt like. I remember having had this thought. I still can't differentiate happiness from being content.
Chopped Artisan hi have gone through depression from my childhood now finally I understood the cause and what are the changes we have to make so that v can be happy and joy full again now I love life the world and everyone around me everyday is wonderful and exciting ... if u want I can share the ideas with u and help you ...I'm from india
watsapp +91 9566265056
I think my content is my new happiness. Numb inside but my thoughts know i'm content.
I think I've had depression since childhood. I can't remember ever being happy or content. Moments of joy, sure. But the underlying dark thoughts and feeling of worthlessness are always there. The feeling that this world would be better off without my presence, never leaves.
Hector N. I always just feel like it doesn’t make a difference whether I’m in this world or not I’m ultimately just not important and what I feel doesn’t matter to anyone else. That it’s all in my mind. I’ve always try to tell myself that it’s just in my mind but it that was the case why is it that I always feel this feeling. What I feel is way to real for it just to be in my mind
I think most people feel like that, but idk
I *think* got depression since I was 9 or 10, somewhere there, I felt empty when I'm alone and _always_ have existential crisis and feel worthless whenever I'm alone and start to think about something. Till this day (I'm 15)I'm still not sure if I am going through or had depression since I am very social, makes jokes, still hang out with my friends and still laugh. The 'feeling' got stronger as well. The self doubt about it is strong and I don't want to confirm I have depression.
*_A part of me wants to be depressed so I don't have to make doubts and lie to myself that I have depression and feel like I'm trying to gain attention by telling people I have it._*
Lol stop ovverreacting you are just sad
@@thecosmonaut4221 yup, but you gotta push forward either way. And there is someone, probably more. Call someone you care about and just tell them that you're glad they're in your life. It'll make you happy too.
you made me explode with tears when you said there's no point of living when I don't actually know how to be happy anymore because I felt that so hard the most Ive cried in my life😭😥
4 years ago I was considering suicide. I made plans and everything. Then I met my dog. A friend of mine was giving away puppies. I finally met someone who actually loved me. It was the first time I felt happy in years. Now when the suicidal tendencies try to return the thing keeping me going is the thought "If I die no one will take care of her and she will suffer without me" and "I need to be healthy and happy to be able to provide for her" This motivated me to start therapy and make changes in my life. If it was not for this dog I would be dead.
I too have a dog and she makes my like 1000 times better
I understand this so much. I do not have pets but, my children keep me going. I have to, for them.
Dogs are not called "Man's Best Friend" for nothing. For me dogs are better than people. If you treat a dog right you will be shown true, unwavering love and loyalty in return. Your dog will be by your side and will defend you until the end.
Same here I thought about it but my animals are my real best friends even tho they hog up my whole bed. If I die I wanna die in the Military. Always wanted to join but cant leave my animals behind
Please read the Quran, it changed my life
