Does anyone else feel the dread of slipping into a depressive episode? Like everything will be going fine and over a couple days you just feel yourself losing energy, motivation, the mess piling up and theres nothing you can do but sit and feel lazy, waiting for it to come
I’ve lived with depression for years now. Not showering for days. Staying in bed all day and staying up all night. Not eating anyhthibg because I don’t have the energy. Ignoring phone calls, dissing my friends. Self harm.. never having any energy.. for anything. My room getting so messy not doing laundry for months. I also struggle with addiction, no self confidence and ultimately I’m just so tired of living for nothing. I have dreams for my future but everyday is the same repeated cycle of events. I’m so unhealthy and I’m destroying my body and my lungs and I just wanna be content with myself and be able to accept that this is my body and my life. Fuck depression fuck anxiety. but for all u in the comments, keep fighting. Depression won’t be the story of your existence
@@SharlenesJourney well I just got out of jail then rehab and I am now in sober living. I am still depressed actually worse. I’m a recovering heroin addict and I’m still waiting for it to get better. how are you?
lauren wilmette Omg so sorry to hear about the recent events but atleast you’re out of jail now. Depression and anxiety is definitely an everyday battle. It’s like repeating the same days over and over again that last part waiting for it to get better is so relatable. I just started back on antidepressants after being afraid to take them, my anxiety was so bad before this is like week two me being on them I do feel anxious and sad at times but I also just feel really numb as well too it’s hard to describe. But at the end of the day as long as we are trying to get better that’s really all that matters and I really do believe in you that you will feel better as long as you’re trying and still here that’s all that matters and hopefully everything is okay at the sober living home ??🙏🏾🙏🏾
Does anyone ever get those delayed depressive episodes? What I mean is, there's a certain time of year (First two weeks of November, on the dot) where I tend to feel depressed as hell. I already have depression, but round that time are death anniversaries-either birthdays, or days they died. I tend to not leave bed on one of those days. And the other days-my sleep is erratic as hell. Does anyone ever get these?
I've been having really bad episodes around Christmas time and I've had them for the last 3 years (of course it doesn't go away after winter but it gets much worse in winter time usually around Christmas)
i am the same exact way. i was diagnosed with anxiety last january so the anxiety is year-round, but around november/december, i get super depressed and have days where i dont get out of bed at all.
Yes September. Which is a beautiful time of year. Every September for like the last 4 years I have always been depressed. The seasonal depressive disorder. My manic episodes have been triggered around Spring to Summer. Which also with bipolar disorder it says a lot of people will have manic episodes in a warmer time. It doesn’t mean that’s the same for everyone. Hell I had a manic episode in January of 2017. It did not matter what time of year.
Hmmm I've never paid attention to when and where it happened. But randomly every now and then I'll have a "moment of depression". Its strong but then it passes. Like a moment where nothing really matters and you just get sad for no reason. Is this a thing?
I’ve been diagnosed with depression, i’m in this very deep depressive episode, i cannot do anything, everything takes so much energy, and it hasn’t been this bad in a while
It sometimes angers me when people say "It'll get better." Especially when that person has not been through depression themselves. I know they may be trying to help, but it really doesn't. I have dealt with depression for just under 4 years now and in no way has it gotten any better, its in fact gotten worse. Please if you ever wanna say this to a family member or friend struggling, think before.
I liken those responses as the same as “ Where did you last have it” when you lose something. I know your trying to help but shut the fuck up if that’s all your willing to throw at the situation.
self diagnosis can save lives!! don’t feel bad about it. now you have things to bring up when you can see a psychiatrist and it can help find your true diagnosis :) also PLEASE tell SOMEONE! do not feel guilty. you cannot help your brain chemistry!!

I’m going through an episode, I haven’t showered in almost a week, I’ve been ignoring and not talking to anyone coz I just wanna be by myself all the time and I just wish people would understand why
Still am in that state of mind that’s like ‘there’s nothing wrong with me bahaha I’m not depressed I’m just lazy’ so it’s very difficult to accept that this may be what’s happening to me

I only get out of bed to use the restroom and I dont want to eat even doe im starving, I want to tell my friends but I think they will think I'm overreacting.
Oh this is pretty nice to know! Had one about 4 years ago and I couldn't figure out at the time what was wrong with me. I couldn't rly trust anybody at that point but my brother (they were all good ppl btw) so I didn't get a diagnosis. I didn't have a professional around either. It lasted for about 3 months and maaaaan it felt like a damn year! I wasn't eating, drinking, I was sleeping too much, not much of going outside and stuff like that. I felt terrible. Then, when it was done and I wanted to tell my mom about it, I first opened up on the internet but ppl kept telling me I'm faking so I told my mom much later than I should have. I still haven't told a professional out of fear of judgement, but now I'm encouraged to do so! Thank you :) Even if it turns out to have been something else, it's still nice that I jave the courage to talk now.
I went years being depressed and i was diagnosed Major depressive disorder, but i started getting alot better, and for about a year and a half i would say i was at a pretty good point and suddenly ive fallen right back in.
What does it mean when I start to feel like my days are blending together? I feel like life is so bleak and bland right now and I feel flat and numb and empty.. I keep getting these waves or like hurt and sadness like I’m grieving but in another sense it’s only fleeting and it makes me feel like everyday is the same nothing new and why am I here or what does life mean..I question the point of having aspirations or the human experience and idk it’s strange and I can only guess that this must be what depression feels like
I keep going from feeling normal and have like 2-4 weeks of brain fog, low mood, guilt, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, thoughts about self harm. I think it’s major depressive disorder I’ve had this problem all my life or at least since I was 12. They used to Go on for years these days around a month or two because of medications.
If your watching this I know what you feel like, unfortunately I have issues with this sometimes but you gotta keep fighting never give up ever, when you feel the most depressed that’s the perfect opportunity to turn it around and tell yourself and prove to yourself that your gonna get out of it, force your self to eat healthy force yourself to get in good routines, it just takes one time, just give it a go this one time I promise you’ll get your life on track! ❤️
Audrey Mai im always here for you and i hope things get better❤️. Stay strong beautiful ❤️. @ogmlky that’s my Instagram if you need someone to talk to im always here ❤️
I have been struggled with depression and anxiety for about three and half years, but this lock down have helped me to come over depression, because it helped me to keep myself away from those toxic society and toxic people, but now i just feel like why I'm being happy , why I'm too happy sometimes , is it just normal?? , please anybody can help me with your experience, this how every body would feel ? Or is it only me , because i couldnot even remember how would real happiness will be , I cannot share it with my parents , because they still don't understand, when i try to express my feelings and thoughts, they just blindly say ,its all your own imagination, which makes me still more guilty , please any body can guide me, I'm really alone even though I'm fine
It happens to be as well mate...really i don't know what to do. In this lockdown, yes i am better just like you. But I am not normal. I don't know what real happiness looks like. I have decided to tell my parents about everything cuz life is too short to be abnormal😂. But I don't have the confidence to make the move. What do you think?
@@rokeyahelal2447 welcome buddy, just stay calm, and be positive, it may take some time but, just keep urself busy with some physical activities, but not too much,but when u try to express this kind of feelings to others they make you feel like alien, don't worry, this not your fault or your personality, it is just to understand about urself, l hope you can get me🙂
@@devasrithamarai478 I can relate 100/100. You should do the same as me. Each day, watch your progress. If you feel like you are not improving, you should take medical help. Thanks for the support mate.
So idk if I have depression but I got cyber bullied for my whole life and I’ve been feeling sad and I haven’t been sleeping, eating or anything I’m just tired. I was at dance and I was a little happy and then I start staring and it’s weird I can’t blink or anything is that an episode?
I was in a coma in 2012 from black water fever. Got medivacd from Malawi to south Africa. All my organs shut down, lungs filled up with fluid. Was on dialysis for a long time now recoverd from it all. But do have thoughts of topping it. Last year a lost my stepfather who I was close to. I still live in Malawi. I dont want to go onto any medication at all.
I do not feel there is any treatment for treatment resistant Major Depressive Disorder, and now mania. They've tried most every SSRI and SNRI and tricyclic medication, nothing works. I become more agitated with these meds. I think I was misdiagnosed, maybe should have been diagnosed as Bi-polar because the treatment is different and might have worked. I reacted terrible with many vicious side effects to all the previous long line of meds. Multiple medication sensitivities make it difficult to ever get help.
feline54 oh I totally relate to this. I'm still very young (17,9) so my diagnosis can be adjusted. however I've a severe case of SSRI treatment resistant depression and my psychiatrist is thinking on switching me to tricyclic antidepressants. how are things now? hope you're well!
Does anyone's depression prevents you from going out with a loved one? I think it's getting on this person's nerves that I often don't want to do anything fun, but I can't help it. I don't complain about my depression at all, just when they want to something, I'm not interested. I have no desire to do anything. This also makes me more depressed because I then feel guilty. Anyone experience this?
This is the lowest I’ve ever been I want it to stop I even got suicidal I feel like it won’t ever get better I feel like I need to go outside but I have too much work at school and quarantine it’s really hard for me I’ll do an update when I feel better even tho no one cares
hey there and i just want to say that even if u have sm work and that’s overwhelming, my therapist says it’s best to take a few minutes for yourself everyday to go do what u need to, in this case u should go outside bc u will ultimately feel better and then u will be feeling slightly better and more motivated to get your schoolwork done. ik it’s hard but take things one step at a time
I hope you're doing better now! I feel pretty much the same way. Took me three month to make an appointment with a psychotherapist but I now have one scheduled for the end of October. I have no hope it's gonna get better, but I have nothing to lose because I'm the lowest I've ever felt, so I've decided to at least try medication and therapy
If people didn’t care they wouldn’t take time out of their days to make videos of self help, also there wouldn’t be genuine charities if people didn’t care. You have a point, not a lot of people care about strangers, but people who care do exist, it’s what’s kept the human race alive for a long time.. without care there’s no life, but with too much care, there comes with obsessions, anxieties, depressions etc.. it’s all a balancing act in my opinion, I did not study at university, so don’t take my opinion as complete facts. Overall... just know that people do care somewhat, because what’s yours is the worlds, and whats the world is yours. It’s a true concept of reality that is perceptual. We are all One, so those who lack understanding and a wise nature, do not care for anyone but themselves, those who are fulfilled live their lives knowing that we are together as one United. So never assume people don’t care, the greatest purpose in life is service to others, giving gives a sense of purpose and comfort.
Quite possibly, the ones who care the most, don’t even show it. In my opinion it’s due to the emotions being so strong, that the individual intentionally or out of habit, cuts out the harsh reality with a delusion or a neurosis. The individual who cares the most can in some cases actually be the individual who may come across as showing no interest at all. It’s a defensive mechanism to protect themselves from the situation, it’s the flight of the primitive brain. They escape the reality by neurosis.
I was diagnosed with Depressive Episode since April 27, 2023 until now, I am very exhausted and always feel empty. I had a lot of attempts to end my life. 😔😔 Its hard to have a depression giving the condition of my country when, what is mental health if you dont have money.
I create scenario in my brain... Sometimes, accidently... I realised when i went to deep within the scenario i made in my brain... The damage is done... Once i realized, i knock it off, the depression episode already sets in...
Mushrooms containing psilocybin saved my life. The aided my benzodiazepine withdrawal allowing me to quit illicit pill addiction after three years of heavy daily use before it would had became medically dangerous to quit. It has also helped me survive depression.
Psychedelics definitely have potential to deal with mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression, I would like to try them again but it's just so hard to source out here
@@lawsondave5076 I was having this constant, unbearable anxiety due to work stress. Not until I came across *dr.healingstrain* a very intelligent mycologist. He saved my life honestly
I have major depressive episodes but they last maybe a day at most, then I'm either neutral or having low grade depression. Mostly the latter. They are pretty bad though. Immense guilt, hopelessness, on the verge of tears and suicide thoughts
hey doc, I had a really bad weekend about six months ago. everything externally in my life was fine. I just at of nowhere felt very lonely and hopeless. I'm usually a happy person, but for some reason, this weekend I was couldn't go outside and all I did was cry and contemplate suicide. The following week I was very short tempered and irritable. After that I was fine and normal and I've been fine ever since. is this something I should be seeking help for?
Hello! That sounds horrible, I hope you are better now! And, if it's worth anything, I think you should definitely check that out :). Wishing you the best!!
i’m so confused, i have all the symptoms but i’ve never had them for more then a week. i’ve been suicidal and harmed myself. i have suicidal thoughts everyday and i can’t make it stop. i haven’t done homework in 3 weeks, i can’t handle it, i can’t move. my body feels so heavy. i don’t eat breakfast or lunch and i don’t get out of bed until 3pm and it’s usually only to use the bathroom. i stay up till 4am everyday because my mind is telling me that i can’t sleep until it’s at least past 2am. i know this isn’t being sad but everyone says you need to feel like this for at least 2 weeks to actually have it? idk it’s stupid
I'm having the worst episode. My physical body is reacting this time. I lost my appetite, felt really weak and shaky, just slept all day. I'm not sick, this was triggered by an event.
I’m currently going through this too. I’ve struggled with these episodes since I was 12 (33 now). The last episode that was this bad was cause by me being on gabapentin. I’m on Lyrica now and it helps. Haven’t had an issue until this past week. My sister and I are trying to get my alcoholic parents help( my dad just had a seizure and went through detox). I’m wondering if that was the trigger, my Lyrica dose being increased, both or something else. I was on my bathroom floor ready to self harm again but I was able to talk myself out of it, knowing I shouldn’t be doing that. I hate feeling this way. I hope you’re doing better.
I can here because today I feel like shit and my appetite has been coming and going for a few days and I’m tired all the time and I’m left wondering “am I really ok tho?” Shits getting rough and no matter how much I sleep, I’m still tired, I only eat when I have the fucking energy to. I’m kinda feelin like shit right now.
God, every damn time I want to get to know more stuff about my disorder imposter syndrome kicks in. I was literally diagnosed by a professional! But still, my brain is convinced that I have to be sad 24/7 with no happy moments whatsoever for my problems to be relevant. Even though I _did_ figure out that my depressive episodes have phases like the moon and there _were_ times I wanted to die and there _were_ times I saw no future for myself. And I am convinced it'll come back, it always does. Now I can have good days, I can have fun with my friends and get myself to read a damn book. And that apparently is enough reason for my brain to tell me I don't deserve treatment and that I don't deserve empathy... Even though I still feel constantly drained and have no energy, sometimes cry out of the blue, sh and need to put up a fight everyday with my own consciousness to get out of bed... Uhm... Sorry for the little rant... Can anybody relate? :') Mental health problems in general really tend to make one feel really alone heh
I relate. I used to caption certain periods of time in the middle of a depressive episode where I felt happy or just normal, and I immediately got flooded with thoughts like “I must be faking it” or “Am I really ill?”. It’s awful questioning it all the time, even though you know you show all the signs and are not ok. Keep in mind that you don’t have to be sad and hopeless every second of your life to be depressed.
My imposter syndrome tells me that my own creativity is a copy of something that I've already seen or it exists already. My imagination doesn't inspire me so I turn to other sources for "inspiration". But no, my brain....says I'm a fraud. I went to university- fraud. All my opinions and writings were inspired by existing theory - fraud. My art, is always a copy of an image I've seen - fraud. I know deep down this is all untrue and that my creativity and smart mind is a huge part of what people love about me....but there's always that thought....I'm a fraud. Depression is a comforting monster. It's there telling you that's its ok to feel this way, it's OK, you were wrong done by, you're a victim, and then BOOM, days fly by of nothingness and then the guilt comes in.
I go back and forth between thinking depression is caused from a lack of fulfillment in life and thinking there's a biological reason. I'm sure it's probably just epigenetics that are triggered by external factors and everyone has a different threshold build into their DNA. So my question is, could the complicated bereavement just be someone who already has the undying disorder/predisposition to the depressive episodes being "triggered" into this downward spiral. How does labeling them objectively affect the treatment process? I feel like you're more likely to just write off the person who comes to you with a life event that has made them depressed and be less likely to give them the medication they may need for a larger disorder at hand. /shrug i feel like needing to give something a name is just a process that is used by the insurance companies for financial purposes.
Mine come once every month or so and last 3-4 days most of the time. They are pure hell with anxiety depression and a form of dissociation. Anyone else do this?
I have major depressive disorder. what does it mean when my depression, harmful thoughts and anxiety suddenly goes away for a bit? like there are times i feel nothing, or there are times where i feel motivated for the present and future and i do a lot of studying but then that same day or the next, im in bed all day long? im so confused and fustrated because i dont know why this happened suddenly. i dont want to be dramatic.
I have mini depressive episodes i think maybe I feel horrible like thoughts of suicide and that stuff then I feel better like thirty minutes later i don't know for sure i have been diagnosed with depression and i don't know if it goes away
Hello. I have lived with anxiety for 10 years now and depression for a year now. I’m still learning how depression works. I don’t understand how to get over a depression episode. I am trying so hard to distract myself and do the things o enjoy. Does anyone have any advice on how to defeat an episode?
Well then it might be just being really sad unless you're always feeling like this and it just gets worse one day at a time (I'm not a therapist or anything) but you should all ways reach out if you think something's wrong
Mines the third one right now. I don't understand why I am okay at some time then later I'll cry again but I dont know why it's almost a week.. I am isolating myself from everyone but I want to talk but there's no one. But I'm sure my parents was the trigger. Im just not sure when amd why
Help me pls I have two kids 2old and 7 Living alone nobody believe even the father of my son i can't go anywhere i forgot anything thing i feel numb i don't feel happy anymore
I am in a position where i don't even want to even bath and all i do is eat 'cause that is the only distraction i can create. And this sucks 'cause i don't wanna do this
I don’t think anyone died or anything really terrible happened. I can’t seem to figure out what’s wrong but I have been feeling down most hours when I’m awake for at least 5 months now. (No, I’m not exaggerating.) I do have most symptoms of Depressive episode, so if someone would then can you tell me if I have major depressive disorder last?
My husband has major depression and my son is going to college out of state . He is really having trouble dealing with this change even though he is proud of our son. He is having an episode talking about killing himself, being aggressive and saying “Fuck you” to me several times. I tried to talk to him by telling him that we care , but he will not accept. Help
In summer 2020 my family would tell me of i didnt eat or come out of my room then they would send me to a mental hospital. I was at a terrible state and thats all they said. I was contemplating suicide and thats all they said.
I’m just confused. I’m an introvert and extrovert. I’m confident and outgoing but also ‘spiritual’ and introverted. I have a higher and lower self and it causes a split in my worldview
I relate to the adjustment one it’s just hard I have no one to really talk to I just feel like there’s no one there but I obviously know I have family but it’s not easy saying yeah sometimes i really don’t like myself right? Or maybe it’s just me
yeah i feel you, i cant just tell one of my family members, “uh you see, the reason i stay in my room dont shower for weeks, because i have been having sucidal thoughts again, and i think im having another depression episode” like i dont like to talk about those things with them, makes me feel like there really is something wrong with me. but i relate to you
I have always been upbeat. Life of the party. People that I meet and don't even know call me smiley. But the last couple of weeks have been really hard. I was in a relationship with a woman for 7 years. I left because if I didn't leave I would have killed her daughters boyfriend. I honestly thought we would work it out. But she got with another guy 3 days after I left. She would keep texting and calling me. I guess when I came to the realization that I would never get back with her because she had gotten with someone else is when I got depressed. Hell I don't know! Just need a good woman
My dads addicted to meth and I have constant depression because of it so I turned to weed and alcohol for help it does help when I’m not high or drunk I’m just alive nothing else but me just sitting standing or working just feeling like shit
Does anyone else feel the dread of slipping into a depressive episode? Like everything will be going fine and over a couple days you just feel yourself losing energy, motivation, the mess piling up and theres nothing you can do but sit and feel lazy, waiting for it to come

Why is our generation so sad? :(
Ur fake

Being sad and depression are different things.
Aleyna Oh, I know. I’m not being technical I’m just saying people in these newer generations are more and more likely to get depression
I keep going from feeling normal and have like 2-4 weeks of brain fog, low mood, guilt, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, thoughts about self harm. I think it’s major depressive disorder I’ve had this problem all my life or at least since I was 12. They used to
Go on for years these days around a month or two because of medications.
If your watching this I know what you feel like, unfortunately I have issues with this sometimes but you gotta keep fighting never give up ever, when you feel the most depressed that’s the perfect opportunity to turn it around and tell yourself and prove to yourself that your gonna get out of it, force your self to eat healthy force yourself to get in good routines, it just takes one time, just give it a go this one time I promise you’ll get your life on track! ❤️
I get these maybe every 2 months or so and they last for like 2-4 weeks and it sucks
I’ve been feeling like this for three years I’m too scared to talk to a doctor
If only the VA hospital would let me have an outside doctor such as yourself...I thought I was fine...REALLY having a hard time😢
I'm going through this too. Lost my mom to suicide in 2019.
Love your profile picture, also I am so sorry for your loss x
it’s been 3 weeks and gets brutal as it goes 💔
I have been in my house for 5 yrs because of depression. I am so sick of it. I hate the person I am. Im not suicidal, I just hate living like this.
Audrey Mai im always here for you and i hope things get better❤️. Stay strong beautiful ❤️. @ogmlky that’s my Instagram if you need someone to talk to im always here ❤️
I have been struggled with depression and anxiety for about three and half years, but this lock down have helped me to come over depression, because it helped me to keep myself away from those toxic society and toxic people, but now i just feel like why I'm being happy , why I'm too happy sometimes , is it just normal?? , please anybody can help me with your experience, this how every body would feel ? Or is it only me , because i couldnot even remember how would real happiness will be , I cannot share it with my parents , because they still don't understand, when i try to express my feelings and thoughts, they just blindly say ,its all your own imagination, which makes me still more guilty , please any body can guide me, I'm really alone even though I'm fine
It happens to be as well mate...really i don't know what to do. In this lockdown, yes i am better just like you. But I am not normal. I don't know what real happiness looks like. I have decided to tell my parents about everything cuz life is too short to be abnormal😂. But I don't have the confidence to make the move. What do you think?
@@rokeyahelal2447 welcome buddy, just stay calm, and be positive, it may take some time but, just keep urself busy with some physical activities, but not too much,but when u try to express this kind of feelings to others they make you feel like alien, don't worry, this not your fault or your personality, it is just to understand about urself, l hope you can get me🙂
@@devasrithamarai478 I can relate 100/100. You should do the same as me. Each day, watch your progress. If you feel like you are not improving, you should take medical help. Thanks for the support mate.
@@rokeyahelal2447 yeah you are welcome.
Thank you SO much for this information. 💡🙏🏼
So idk if I have depression but I got cyber bullied for my whole life and I’ve been feeling sad and I haven’t been sleeping, eating or anything I’m just tired. I was at dance and I was a little happy and then I start staring and it’s weird I can’t blink or anything is that an episode?
No, you're just spacing out
you could be dissociating
@@lissylulu1208 wtf is wrong with those people to cyberbully you. I hope you are doing better.❤
I know this was 2 years ago but how are you ❤️❤️🥺🥺are you doing better now?
My grandfather died last June, his house was listed, we also moved and left town and my uncle died from substance abuse all in 9 months
I moved across the U.S. and....I lost my dad at 4 years old
I was in a coma in 2012 from black water fever. Got medivacd from Malawi to south Africa. All my organs shut down, lungs filled up with fluid. Was on dialysis for a long time now recoverd from it all. But do have thoughts of topping it. Last year a lost my stepfather who I was close to. I still live in Malawi. I dont want to go onto any medication at all.
I do not feel there is any treatment for treatment resistant Major Depressive Disorder, and now mania. They've tried most every SSRI and SNRI and tricyclic medication, nothing works. I become more agitated with these meds. I think I was misdiagnosed, maybe should have been diagnosed as Bi-polar because the treatment is different and might have worked. I reacted terrible with many vicious side effects to all the previous long line of meds. Multiple medication sensitivities make it difficult to ever get help.
feline54 oh I totally relate to this. I'm still very young (17,9) so my diagnosis can be adjusted. however I've a severe case of SSRI treatment resistant depression and my psychiatrist is thinking on switching me to tricyclic antidepressants. how are things now? hope you're well!
@@justmai2476 how r u doing now?
3:55 When you are currently in your depression, the only think you worry about is, will I ever get out of this? :)
Small addition: You forgot shame in the feelings.
This was very helpful. Thank you.
idk why but for the past week or so i just feel so tired in general; this vid helped out thanks
Thank you for this information
Does anyone's depression prevents you from going out with a loved one?
I think it's getting on this person's nerves that I often don't want to do anything fun, but I can't help it.
I don't complain about my depression at all, just when they want to something, I'm not interested.
I have no desire to do anything. This also makes me more depressed because I then feel guilty. Anyone experience this?
Very helpful. Thank you.
This is the lowest I’ve ever been I want it to stop I even got suicidal I feel like it won’t ever get better I feel like I need to go outside but I have too much work at school and quarantine it’s really hard for me I’ll do an update when I feel better even tho no one cares
hey there and i just want to say that even if u have sm work and that’s overwhelming, my therapist says it’s best to take a few minutes for yourself everyday to go do what u need to, in this case u should go outside bc u will ultimately feel better and then u will be feeling slightly better and more motivated to get your schoolwork done. ik it’s hard but take things one step at a time
I hope you're doing better now!
I feel pretty much the same way. Took me three month to make an appointment with a psychotherapist but I now have one scheduled for the end of October. I have no hope it's gonna get better, but I have nothing to lose because I'm the lowest I've ever felt, so I've decided to at least try medication and therapy
Hey! How are you feeling now?
If people didn’t care they wouldn’t take time out of their days to make videos of self help, also there wouldn’t be genuine charities if people didn’t care. You have a point, not a lot of people care about strangers, but people who care do exist, it’s what’s kept the human race alive for a long time.. without care there’s no life, but with too much care, there comes with obsessions, anxieties, depressions etc.. it’s all a balancing act in my opinion, I did not study at university, so don’t take my opinion as complete facts. Overall... just know that people do care somewhat, because what’s yours is the worlds, and whats the world is yours. It’s a true concept of reality that is perceptual. We are all One, so those who lack understanding and a wise nature, do not care for anyone but themselves, those who are fulfilled live their lives knowing that we are together as one United. So never assume people don’t care, the greatest purpose in life is service to others, giving gives a sense of purpose and comfort.
Quite possibly, the ones who care the most, don’t even show it. In my opinion it’s due to the emotions being so strong, that the individual intentionally or out of habit, cuts out the harsh reality with a delusion or a neurosis. The individual who cares the most can in some cases actually be the individual who may come across as showing no interest at all. It’s a defensive mechanism to protect themselves from the situation, it’s the flight of the primitive brain. They escape the reality by neurosis.
Is there a way to cope with these episodes? Cause I mostly love sleeping cause it helps me forget this feeling..
I was diagnosed with Depressive Episode since April 27, 2023 until now, I am very exhausted and always feel empty. I had a lot of attempts to end my life. 😔😔 Its hard to have a depression giving the condition of my country when, what is mental health if you dont have money.
I create scenario in my brain... Sometimes, accidently... I realised when i went to deep within the scenario i made in my brain... The damage is done... Once i realized, i knock it off, the depression episode already sets in...
Mushrooms containing psilocybin saved my life. The aided my benzodiazepine withdrawal allowing me to quit illicit pill addiction after three years of heavy daily use before it would had became medically dangerous to quit. It has also helped me survive depression.
Psychedelics definitely have potential to deal with mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression, I would like to try them again but it's just so hard to source out here
@@lawsondave5076 I was having this constant, unbearable anxiety due to work stress. Not until I came across *dr.healingstrain* a very intelligent mycologist. He saved my life honestly

Microdosing mushrooms can not be deemed bad but one has to find a good mycologist to teach you the right things you need to know
I've been depressed since I can't even remember been years now, but feels like it's getting worse everyday 😔
I have major depressive episodes but they last maybe a day at most, then I'm either neutral or having low grade depression. Mostly the latter. They are pretty bad though. Immense guilt, hopelessness, on the verge of tears and suicide thoughts
I understand & ur not alone here
hey doc, I had a really bad weekend about six months ago. everything externally in my life was fine. I just at of nowhere felt very lonely and hopeless. I'm usually a happy person, but for some reason, this weekend I was couldn't go outside and all I did was cry and contemplate suicide. The following week I was very short tempered and irritable. After that I was fine and normal and I've been fine ever since. is this something I should be seeking help for?
Hello! That sounds horrible, I hope you are better now! And, if it's worth anything, I think you should definitely check that out :). Wishing you the best!!
i’m so confused, i have all the symptoms but i’ve never had them for more then a week. i’ve been suicidal and harmed myself. i have suicidal thoughts everyday and i can’t make it stop. i haven’t done homework in 3 weeks, i can’t handle it, i can’t move. my body feels so heavy. i don’t eat breakfast or lunch and i don’t get out of bed until 3pm and it’s usually only to use the bathroom. i stay up till 4am everyday because my mind is telling me that i can’t sleep until it’s at least past 2am.
i know this isn’t being sad but everyone says you need to feel like this for at least 2 weeks to actually have it? idk it’s stupid
Same, what's your ig we can text
I’m literally the same
I have all three loss of spouse on top of hopeless from past negatively events. So the bereavement is abandonment on top of major depressive disorder
I'm having the worst episode. My physical body is reacting this time. I lost my appetite, felt really weak and shaky, just slept all day. I'm not sick, this was triggered by an event.
I’m currently going through this too. I’ve struggled with these episodes since I was 12 (33 now). The last episode that was this bad was cause by me being on gabapentin. I’m on Lyrica now and it helps. Haven’t had an issue until this past week. My sister and I are trying to get my alcoholic parents help( my dad just had a seizure and went through detox). I’m wondering if that was the trigger, my Lyrica dose being increased, both or something else. I was on my bathroom floor ready to self harm again but I was able to talk myself out of it, knowing I shouldn’t be doing that. I hate feeling this way. I hope you’re doing better.
Going through an episode. Please drop ways on how you cope through an episode. For major depressive disorder. Tried to google but doesnt work.
For me I use opposite to emotion action and thought reframing
I’ve been feeling like this for 2 months now I just want it to go away and be happy again. I don’t know what to do
How are you doing now
what about depressive episodes in bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder?
I can here because today I feel like shit and my appetite has been coming and going for a few days and I’m tired all the time and I’m left wondering “am I really ok tho?” Shits getting rough and no matter how much I sleep, I’m still tired, I only eat when I have the fucking energy to.
I’m kinda feelin like shit right now.
God, every damn time I want to get to know more stuff about my disorder imposter syndrome kicks in. I was literally diagnosed by a professional!
But still, my brain is convinced that I have to be sad 24/7 with no happy moments whatsoever for my problems to be relevant. Even though I _did_ figure out that my depressive episodes have phases like the moon and there _were_ times I wanted to die and there _were_ times I saw no future for myself. And I am convinced it'll come back, it always does. Now I can have good days, I can have fun with my friends and get myself to read a damn book. And that apparently is enough reason for my brain to tell me I don't deserve treatment and that I don't deserve empathy... Even though I still feel constantly drained and have no energy, sometimes cry out of the blue, sh and need to put up a fight everyday with my own consciousness to get out of bed...
Uhm... Sorry for the little rant... Can anybody relate? :')
Mental health problems in general really tend to make one feel really alone heh
I relate. I used to caption certain periods of time in the middle of a depressive episode where I felt happy or just normal, and I immediately got flooded with thoughts like “I must be faking it” or “Am I really ill?”. It’s awful questioning it all the time, even though you know you show all the signs and are not ok.
Keep in mind that you don’t have to be sad and hopeless every second of your life to be depressed.
My imposter syndrome tells me that my own creativity is a copy of something that I've already seen or it exists already. My imagination doesn't inspire me so I turn to other sources for "inspiration". But no, my brain....says I'm a fraud. I went to university- fraud. All my opinions and writings were inspired by existing theory - fraud. My art, is always a copy of an image I've seen - fraud.
I know deep down this is all untrue and that my creativity and smart mind is a huge part of what people love about me....but there's always that thought....I'm a fraud. Depression is a comforting monster. It's there telling you that's its ok to feel this way, it's OK, you were wrong done by, you're a victim, and then BOOM, days fly by of nothingness and then the guilt comes in.
Not me sobbing while listening to the video AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
I go back and forth between thinking depression is caused from a lack of fulfillment in life and thinking there's a biological reason. I'm sure it's probably just epigenetics that are triggered by external factors and everyone has a different threshold build into their DNA. So my question is, could the complicated bereavement just be someone who already has the undying disorder/predisposition to the depressive episodes being "triggered" into this downward spiral. How does labeling them objectively affect the treatment process? I feel like you're more likely to just write off the person who comes to you with a life event that has made them depressed and be less likely to give them the medication they may need for a larger disorder at hand. /shrug i feel like needing to give something a name is just a process that is used by the insurance companies for financial purposes.
It's lonely down here. Been here for three weeks. 🥺
Mine come once every month or so and last 3-4 days most of the time. They are pure hell with anxiety depression and a form of dissociation. Anyone else do this?
Hi I need your help
I have major depressive disorder. what does it mean when my depression, harmful thoughts and anxiety suddenly goes away for a bit? like there are times i feel nothing, or there are times where i feel motivated for the present and future and i do a lot of studying but then that same day or the next, im in bed all day long? im so confused and fustrated because i dont know why this happened suddenly. i dont want to be dramatic.
How long do the adjustment disorder episodes usually last?
Is nausea & heart palpitations part of it...?
i had that shit for 2-3 years but now i only have mental breakdowns on average for 30 minutes about every month
I have mini depressive episodes i think maybe I feel horrible like thoughts of suicide and that stuff then I feel better like thirty minutes later i don't know for sure i have been diagnosed with depression and i don't know if it goes away
Just watching this I cried I’m 12
Im 12 too, but I have episodes, think I might give in.
Ma'am the diagnosis of MAJOR DEPRESSIVE DISORDER is based on Single episode or recurrent episode .. what it exactly mean....?
Hello. I have lived with anxiety for 10 years now and depression for a year now. I’m still learning how depression works. I don’t understand how to get over a depression episode. I am trying so hard to distract myself and do the things o enjoy. Does anyone have any advice on how to defeat an episode?
im into an episode right now, i have schizoaffective disorder i dont know what to do
Seem to going thru one now.
What if you feel your "depressive episode" lasts for a day?
Well then it might be just being really sad unless you're always feeling like this and it just gets worse one day at a time (I'm not a therapist or anything) but you should all ways reach out if you think something's wrong

I going though this too, Talk 2 someone anyone I find it helps a bit
I’ve been going thru a major depressive episode for 2 months straight
It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.
I don’t think anyone died or anything really terrible happened.
I can’t seem to figure out what’s wrong but I have been feeling down most hours when I’m awake for at least 5 months now. (No, I’m not exaggerating.)
I do have most symptoms of Depressive episode, so if someone would then can you tell me if I have major depressive disorder last?
I’m definitely going through one right now 😕
My husband has major depression and my son is going to college out of state . He is really having trouble dealing with this change even though he is proud of our son. He is having an episode talking about killing himself, being aggressive and saying “Fuck you” to me several times. I tried to talk to him by telling him that we care , but he will not accept. Help
He needs medication
In summer 2020 my family would tell me of i didnt eat or come out of my room then they would send me to a mental hospital.
I was at a terrible state and thats all they said. I was contemplating suicide and thats all they said.
is cutting your arm a depressive episode or in that category
Im so tired of this feeling....
I’m just confused. I’m an introvert and extrovert. I’m confident and outgoing but also ‘spiritual’ and introverted. I have a higher and lower self and it causes a split in my worldview

Cool guess I got number 3. Thought this was normal man, been living with this since the 7th grade
I think situation/adjust depressive I think my counselor knows
I have always been upbeat. Life of the party. People that I meet and don't even know call me smiley. But the last couple of weeks have been really hard. I was in a relationship with a woman for 7 years. I left because if I didn't leave I would have killed her daughters boyfriend. I honestly thought we would work it out. But she got with another guy 3 days after I left. She would keep texting and calling me. I guess when I came to the realization that I would never get back with her because she had gotten with someone else is when I got depressed. Hell I don't know! Just need a good woman
Could 10- year olds have depression?
