- In this video, we'll be pointing out some signs that you are procrastination because of depression and not laziness. By the end of the video, you'll understand how procrastination points towards a more serious issue, like depression or other mental disorders, and why the belief that we procrastinate because we are lazy is stigmatizing and problematic. If you have been struggling with getting your work done due to procrastination and depression, this video is for you to help you feel understood.
To raise mental health awareness, do check out our video on the signs of depression, not lazy: • 6 Signs You're Depress...

Depression, anxiety, PTSD is not an easy situation for anyone.
Please take care of yourselves and loved ones.
I’ve been suffering from anxiety for several years, taken a lot of medications.
Currently I’m trying out psychedelics and psilocybin mushrooms
@@alberthall6687 I’ve been hearing of this psilocybin mushroom, I’ve read about it as well, do you know anywhere I can source them?
Yes, dr.cobb
@@alberthall6687 is he on insta?
Sure, dr.cobb
If you hear yourself saying “I will do something“, try substituting it with “I am doing it“ and see if the task doesn’t just get done. These little wins will fortify your sense of self-efficacy… that is, your belief in your own abilities to follow through.
And as you tend to each pending item on your to-do list, let go of the “I have to’s.” Substitute them with:
I can do it.
I will do it.
I am already doing it.
Thanks for the tips!
yess🙌
Thank you!! My self-talk when it comes to productivity can honestly use a bit of improvement.... this will help me a ton!

Every single doctor I've seen due to different health issues has told me that I have mental and emotional issues to resolve.
My health is almost at its worst. It's getting really difficult to go on.
Yes, I know why I'm depressed but I feel trapped and unable to find a way to improve.
I used to be a "happy" person. I laughed and smiled. I had dreams.
Every day I pray to survive another day. Not for me but for my loved ones...
I feel the same 😔 Hope we'll find a way to overcome it.
Prayer helps me 😔
I'm so sorry to hear that. It can't be easy when you're feeling trapped and feel that it's challenging to improve. Have you considered seeking help from a mental health professional?
Yes. I am under medication since 2015. But it's deeper than that.
Thanks anyway for posting these videos.
Don't give up sweetheart..
me seeing this video as i was thinking to myself whether or not i was just lazy or depressed 😭
edit: kinda sounds like i’m falling into a depressive episode again. don’t worry guys it’s temporary we all just gotta hang in there
Same
Sameeeee
i wish you the best, stay safe. you matter ❤
It's maybe because you're depressed and depression can actually feel like laziness
I still can't decide whether I am lazy or depressed...
I've grappled with depression for a while, and it definitely has not helped with everyone beating on me for procrastinating often. This video has helped me come to terms with that, Thank you much!
Thank you for sharing your experience and we're glad that our video was able to offer some help and understanding. Dealing with depression and procrastination can be challenging, have you considered seeking support from a therapist or counselor to help you cope and develop strategies to manage these feelings?
This is 100% me, but I am improving. For most of my life, I was the most energetic and motivated person you would ever meet. Slowly, over the past 6 - 8 years, it all went away, I believe mainly caused by increasing depression. The solution for me is every evening, to decide realistically what I want to accomplish the next day. Then, break it down into tiny steps. I can't do a "full job" on anything anymore, but I can do a dozen small things, one at a time. Today, it's have coffee, brush teeth, take meds, empty dishwasher, clean sink and counter, get mail, open mail, throw away/delete junk, handle only what needs to be done today and so forth. I know I can't and won't get everything done, but I can get "something" done, and I'm in motion. Hope this helps.
Wow that’s exactly what’s been happening to me! Used to be motivated, healthy, and confident. But ever since the pandemic I’ve just gotten worse and worse. Recently I’ve been starting to feel a bit better and I’ve been doing that too, I realized that’s one of the only things that actually helps me get anything done. I’ll make a list of things and sometimes I’ll even make time frames so I know I’ll have time to do it. I don’t get everything done but even if it’s just 1 or 2 things, that’s all that matters. I think breaking it down really helps though. Just gotta keep taking it day by day I guess
@@itsjustamyj Even if it's 1 or 2 things, it's a big deal. It's something, and that's better than nothing! It's a win.
I used to be a pretty stellar student up until 6th grade was always doing my homework as soon as I got home, got damn near perfect grades, handled everything on my own and such. But middle school changed everything I got so stressed out at the beginning I stopped doing everything all together and started avoiding doing everything I needed to do up until the last second or even turning things in late... every single time without fail. I've gotten close to becoming that stellar 12 year old I used to be but 11 years of just constant suffering I can say I've gotten better in some ways and much worse in a lot of other ways. It's hard explaining to people I can't get up and just do things it's literally impossible sometimes and yet I question myself all the time am I just lazy? Still not sure...
Thank you for sharing your experience and strategies. It's great to hear that you are finding ways to improve and take small steps towards achieving your goals. Breaking down tasks into manageable steps is a great approach to overcoming the overwhelming feeling of having too much to do. Is there anything else that has helped you along the way in your journey to improve your motivation?
@@Psych2go Trying not to be too hard on myself, which can hurt motivation. I'm learning to cut myself some slack and see the humor in things. It requires dedicated effort for me to do, but it helps.
I'm 16 and things suck for me. School and home. I have basically no friends, and compared to who I do know, I have the single busiest schedule in my grade. My teachers love assigning projects and I just failed 3 of them. Only reason it wasn't 4 is because one of them didn't assign one. I couldn't get myself to start. And having ADHD (which all my family members assume I "grew out of") makes it hard to focus to begin with. Combine that with the constant feeling of carrying the world on your shoulders, and you have an idea how I feel on a daily basis. Im tired. Every day. I'm always falling asleep in class, on the bus, no matter how much I sleep, no mattter my caffiene intake. Things are somehow even worse at home. My dad implemented a rule stating that if I or my older brother miss the bus, we both lose internet for 24 hours and it doubles each time. And it's hardly a punishment for him since he has friends and his phone has a sim card. I've told them that I try to get up in the mornings, and it's not working, and my parents either go on the "excuses excuses" rant or tell me to find a solution. Completely blind to what is happening. Except my mom has jokingly called me Eeyore multiple times for complaining too much. What the hell? Are they trying to mentally torture me? Cause that's what my life is feeling like. Mental torture. Even on the now rare days I do have internet, games aren't an escape from the stress, and are, in fact, another source of stress. Just like almost everything else. My family is nothing short of stress-inducing and annoying, school is every bit of stressful and doesn't care how many teachers assignments I'm doing. Video games are stress inducing when I constantly get the perfect luck in order to have absolutely shitty luck, but just enough to keep me from leaving instantly. I have that luck all day, every day. If this kind of working is just a fraction of what adult life is like, then I don't know if I want to make it to adult life.
Please try and be kind to yourself. You are doing your best and you will find a way forward, or someone to help you do this. Don't give up, you can do this.
Hey, teen to teen, I’m sorry about what’s been going on but I’m rooting for ya. I would look into therapy with a therapist you like, it’s effect on me was unbelievable. I truly think everyone has so much undiscovered potential for a happy and fulfilling life, so don’t count yourself out.
Also, maybe consider going to church. It’s a welcoming place religious or not and praying always helps me.
Yo we are the same age I’m going thru the same struggle. How’s it going rn any improvements
@@gamersnoop2185 yeah, most of what I typed is what I felt in the heat of the moment, and there have been improvements since then. I can't put those improvements into words yet
this is me. excess sleep, lack of desire and energy. the urge to go back to sleep every single time.ahh
even i want to work hard and do well but i can't seem to.
but I don't think I'm depressed because I'm happy at times.
4 signs you procrastinate because of depression, not laziness!
1. you have unexplained physical symptoms (0:29)
2. you are fatigued… all the time (1:17)
3. you can’t motivate yourself to do anything (1:59)
4. you feel a sense of dread or hopelessness (2:54)
I can totally relate, this has become a serious problem for me 😶
Thank you for sharing with us. Which part of the video resonated with you the most?
I had a very important test today. I really wanted to get a good grade on it because I knew it would benefit me loads. Despite the will to do good, I just wasn't able to study at all. I had plenty of time on my hands but I kept procrastinatig due to my lack of motivation. Yesterday evening I broke down because I still hadn't done anything and I was so upset with myself. Why am I not trying to improve myself? The procrastination was so bad to the point where I had my book lying next to me but the thought of even opening it overwhelmed me.
I just made the test and it was incredibly difficult. I wasn't the only one struggling which was quite the comforting thought. I really hope I did well enough anyways
This was me in my A level mideterms in December. Especially physics, which I least like. Broke down many times.... But my grade came out horrible and I'm still trying to build my confidence up in the subject... I hope it gets easier :)
@@hajerahumar2750 Ugh, physics is a nightmare! It all takes time, I try to put faith in improvement but it's just so exhausting at times
@@teba2150 ikr!!! There's some sort of gap between the content and the questions... They always seem disconnected to me and that makes it worse.
@@hajerahumar2750 It's the worst. I don't seem to be able to connect the dots which is so demotivating
I love your videos and I love Amanda's voice, she's the perfect fit for your videos.
I'm also autistic, so use your videos as a way of explaining my issues to others. Thanks for helping give me a voice in areas I struggle to find one.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your experience with us. We're glad to hear that our videos have been helpful in explaining your experiences to others. Is there any specific topic you would like to see us cover in the future that could be helpful for individuals on the autism spectrum?
@Psych2Go I'm relatively new to your channel and have loved what I've seen so far. I have Asperger's so struggle with depression and social issues such as confidence in talking to people etc.
I’ve never been able to reach out about my mental health, as whenever I do, it’s always neglected and ignored. These videos help me understand more about what’s going on with me, and how I can cope. Tysm Psych2Go.

Yes, that's right, being lazy isn't completely lazy, but depression is one of them, for that, we have to be able to control things that trigger excessive anxiety
Absolutely, it's important to understand the underlying causes of our behavior. Have you found any effective strategies for managing your anxiety triggers?
Thank you for popping up in my homepage. I kept questioning myself if I'm lazy to do things or going through depression ♥️♥️
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your thoughts. It's common to wonder about the root of our behavior, and it's great that you're taking the time to reflect on it. Have you considered seeking professional help or support to better understand what you're going through?
Got the notification on this video when I was procrastinating my study tasks after having a mental breakdown
I can't even tell if I watched this video just to justify myself that I'm not being lazy or I really am plain lazy. I have an incomplete grade because of backlogs, activities just got piled up because one of our teachers kept on giving us tasks to the point where we don't know how or which to do first. I want to do well because I feel guilty of my mother's efforts in my education and she has a lot of expectations from me, I'm not even the first child but she sees me as someone intelligent and doing well in school, but I'm exhausted of everything. I wanted to motivate myself to work during our week-long break but I had done nothing but lie down and become depressed for the whole week because I don't what to do, or how to help myself. I have no one to ask for help even if I have friends because they have their own lives, and I can't ask my mother because I won't be able to get an answer other than "pray". It's not bad to pray but the problem is it does not immediately make me feel any better nor be able to fix myself.

If you have a family or a friend or someone you know who has depression help them talk to them make them feel that they are not alone and there is hope 😊👍
That's great advice! Have you had experience supporting someone with depression before? :)
@@Psych2go yeah and it's not easy but i still do what I can do talking to someone with depression really help them alot 😊👍
A good sign for me personally that my procrastination may be due to depression is if I also 'procrastinate' on doing my hobbies. For example, it's evening or the weekend and I finally have time to play a video game I've been wanting to and still want to play. However, I simply can't muster the energy to get up and turn on my Playstation, and whatever free time I had ends up just passing without me doing the fun thing I wanted to spend my free time doing.
Psych2go really helps me alot by understanding things and helps me alot about depression and anxiety,and she explains everything so well..each night I watch Psych2go cause in way it helps me a lot to relax and it always helps me to fall asleep at night since I struggle with sleep..and the person's voice that is on this video is also relaxing and she speaks very calming..Thank you Psych2go 🌼
Thanks for sharing your experience with us, we are glad to hear that our content is helping you. Have you found any specific videos that have been particularly helpful for you to relax and fall asleep?
I'm struggling currently, I'm talking with Drs and taking medication, I'm not feeling different yet but I'm told I should feel better soon.
I’m glad to see a video from you on this. I’ve been really bad at keeping good hygiene for a long time now, and responsibilities are hard for me to fulfill. I’ve been feeling a lot of self-hatred from all sorts of stuff, but procrastination just makes me feel bad all the time,
honestly, i really cant tell if im depressed or im just lazy and lack motivation. i mean some days i just dont even have motivation to get out of bed, but then other days ill clean and do some work, or even just showering takes a lot of my energy. i dont know what it all means. i dont know anything
you’re not alone! that happens to me too! I’ll be doing good for like 3 days in a row and then all of a sudden I’m having a hard time even getting up out of bed again. And then I lose even that tiny bit of motivation I finally found. Like it’s exhausting to do anything, especially stuff you have to do that requires a lot of physical movement. It’s so frustrating, but just know you’re not alone when it comes to struggling with this everyday
Love this channel so much, its given me A LOT insight on certain aspects of life
Thanks for sharing that! Which videos have been particularly helpful for you? :)
thank you for this video, the distinction of the two is so important - i just talked about burnout as a "cause of apparent laziness" in one of my videos, because I feel like many people (including myself) tend to be unaware of depression and/or burnout as a potential cause for them not to get anything done
Thank you for sharing and also making content on such an important topic. In your opinion, what can people do when their depression/burnout is causing them to not get anything done? Do you have any advice that can help those who might be struggling with this?
@@Psych2go if possible taking a break from whats burning them out is the first step i think, and if reflection and self help (e.g. by watching your channel;)) is not sufficient, then seeking professional help
Omg. Just the video i needed. I started school in January and I'm now in my senior year but I'm not feeling motivated nor productive.. And then i procrastinated till now and always falling behind. But I'm trying to do better
I'm glad to hear that our video was helpful for you! It can be tough to stay motivated and productive, especially when dealing with depression. Is there anything specific that you found helpful in the video?
I feel this sooo much. The problem is I can't tell the difference between the depression and ADHD. They deeply piggyback off each other.
My ADHD medication is hard to find right now, so I don't take when I don't work. Those days are practically unbearable. Can't do anything, can't stay awake, nothing.
It's kinda crazy how a medication that doesn't "energize" me (at least in a perceivable way while taking it) affects my body in it's absence.
I procrastinate everything... work, eating, showering, cleaning... even going to sleep or getting out of bed
For me, my depression can either be fully unconscious or just situational... I know this, but learning to work around it is something that doesn't come naturally to me. It takes effort for me to do a lot of things, and I am noticing a lot more procrastination within myself when it comes to handling my workload at school.... It's just becoming a lot harder for me to maintain a positive attitude towards school, and ever since my first failed test in my history class, I've come to realize that that subject is something that I just don't do well in or enjoy all that much. I'm honestly ready for this semester to be over
It's so weird always feeling tired and looking forward to finally going to bed and yet when you're in bed you can't fall asleep until like 3 am >.>
It's weird that this came up on my feed. I was just saying to myself why am I so lazy, I procrastinate all the time and can never focus. It's hard for me to start a project. I never thought depression but maybe I should talk to a professional.
I always want to do nothing i mean for depression and anxiety not because i like to, but recently i really don't care to do anything, i had to do an investigation and a presentation but i didn't care enough to do it, and it worries me but at the same time i don't care. Man this it's hard.
I needed this
Now ik why everytime I feel some pain from an accident, its due to depression sometimes, thank god I made myself positive since negativity in feelings and thinking can damage me and others around me, thank you
Yo Wtf this got personal😳
I often feel that those who need the professional help the most are the ones who can’t afford to pay for it. I have access to free counselling, but it’s a minimum 3-4 month wait list, which is zero help…
Well said. It's heartbreaking to know that healthcare isn't always accessible, especially to those who may be struggling with their mental health.😞
OMG the "Psidew Valley" on the PC screen at the end is so cute! 💚
After a lifetime like this,I'll be a wreck till the end
I sad 😢
not gonna lie but i really really love your videos bc it always helped me a lot because i kinda only understand cartoon and simple thing and the voice is really calm and peacefull and your videos really understandable to me well i kinda have a trouble understanding but your videos really help me understand unlike other videos
I've been called out I relate to most of it
This is true. I have known this for long through personal experience.
Thanks for sharing your experience. It can be difficult to deal with depression, but it's helpful to know that others have gone through similar experiences. Have you found any strategies or resources that have been particularly helpful for you in managing your depression?
My problem is that i feel like i don't even want to improve my situation and constantly pulling myself even more down.
I mean i don't enjoy it but i don't feel like doing anything to better myself.
Sorry to hear that you're going through that. I'm sure many people can relate to disliking the feeling of depression and yet feeling unmotivated to improve the situation. In your experience, how do you take care of yourself when you feel like you're trapped in this pattern?
@@Psych2go i actually don't reallytake care of myself i just cut all contacts to my surroundings and pull myself even more down
I was remembering the Genshin Impact references you put in the videos, so I thought about you making a video about it, like what does each vision says about you or something connecting the visions with personality traits. Thanks for the videos!
I know the feeling all to well
I just want you to know That It makes me so joyfull to know that Someone takes time out of there life to help others/those with depretion Feel better and even wanted and that people care. I have Very Bad depression to ....points But just watching these know that people care even about People That have depretion , Can help life feel That much more For the fight. (Thank you)
Man i love this channel they always comming in clutch
I guess all these weird aches and pains could just be my depression being really out of control.
This struck hard, too hard
I am a loner of ny class. I don't want to be in my house becuz my mom's is super toxic and like she's not good hence why I stay away from home. For her, I even broke my friendship with my 3 only friends. She tells I'll score great in my entrance exams but in truth, she always tells my father that I ain't gonna clear the exam. And also, my parents read my diary which contained things I didn't wanted to share with. After seeing that, my mom was like "Damn son, you thibk you're suffering more than me huh. You think your pain is very big?" Hence I have trust issues. I am experiencing constant pain below my right shoulder and legs. I can't say I have depression becuz I don't have any reasons to be depressed about cuz I am not an orphan, physically disabled person etc. who have nothing in their life. Even if I may have it, I couldn't go becuz my mom would be like "Why you going to mental doctor? Now people will think we have a mad son" I am now tired...Why do I feel such immense sadness for a long time even though I have everytging??
i actually dont relate to any of this, since my depression when its not in more of a severe form, i can do anything. its just that... there isnt many i actually enjoy doing and most of the time, i cannot do any of those because i am not able to and run into a loophole of what i want to do... which i dont seem to be able to do. Basically, i end up frequently in a situation where i dont know what i want to do.
im also a bit reverse, depressed people may want isolation but i dont want isolation, its the main reason why depression within me spikes
i also dont have any stress issues
i just feel sad alot, losing joy from life somehow and i only seem to feel joy from very much specific things that arent always possible. the worst part is: i feel hopeless for the most part, i cant escape this because im getting forced into more isolation. Thankfully, i am still holding strongly physically
I have Depression,anxiety,ptsd and BPD and I get called lazy or I just don’t try hard enough so I push myself but I’m always running on E and I usually crash it’s good to know that I’m not lazy I just need time and patience
I really needed this video. Thank you so much!
We hope this video helps :) did you relate to any of these signs?
@Psych2go yes I actually did, and I am glad I can tell it's not because of my laziness but because of my depression
I think I'm prune to this type of scenario. One time I got a syllabus for a music history class early and I was able to see what the reports were and made the "Boilers" on them.
Ended up doing a report on a series of historic audio recordings that I happen to have a copy of that the school didn't.
Never felt so related :))
Which part of the video did you relate to the most?
@@Psych2go well all of them but mostly 1 and 3
I can't say for sure that it's depression because I know I have untreated sleep apnea, I'm still waiting to receive my machine. But it's uncanny how well I relate to some of this; I'm always tired, I nap frequently, I have zero motivation to do anything, my usual excessive ambitions are gone, my want to go back to college is gone, I find it difficult to do even basic chores, for health reasons I'm supposed to be exercising but I just can't do it. Once I'm on the machine for a solid length of time, if I'm still having these problems I'll go and see some one for help. Thank you.
I need help, I noticed a year ago that I wasn’t happy, I wanted to seek help to be happy so I talked to my mom and ask her to take me to the psychologist. She called her and my mom just said to me that I wasn’t the priority for her right now so I could be taken by the psychologist after Christmas. The problem is I have no news of the psychologist and I wouldn’t be surprised that my mother didn’t call her. She always said to me that happy is a descision and she thinks that I just want attention. But now I don’t even want to feel better, I don’t know what to do because I know I have to talk to psychologist but I can’t ask again. And the feeling that my mother and that my sister thinks I just want attention make it so horrible.
seeing this right when i was trying to find a distraction to continue procrastinating lmao
I already know my procrastination is depression.
Just woke up from my 2 hour nap and saw this :/
Oh! That explain why I'm always like this :/

MY MOTHER TOLD ME SHE, WISH THAT SHE NEVER HAD ME, I FILL SO BAD THAT I WAS DIE
⚠️Super long comment, skip if you want. I just want to ask for a little suggestion and advise. Thank you for reading ⚠️ Oh yeah, might contain some triggering contents so if you're really reading it, and you're triggered easily, please remember that I warned you. (I don't actually know if it's triggering btw)
I'm not sure if me and my little brother have depression, I mean, we definitely have the signs. But self-diagnosing mental conditions is definitely not a good thing, and going to a psychiatrist or therapist definitely needs A LOT of money. And I just can't suddenly go up to my mom and say I want to meet a psychiatrist. What if I don't even have depression, just overthinking our situation? That would definitely be a waste of money. And my mom has depression and bipolar, what if we actually have it and triggers her in some way, my grandparents are also already so old, I can't have them worried like that. But at the same time, I also want to get properly diagnosed whether we actually have it or not... Not to mention of my *super selfish* greed, I want to have depression, I know it's not a good thing to have, and it's definitely a mockery towards people who are having it and are trying to recover from it. But, I can't help but think how nice it would feel to get special treatment, to finally get them to stop putting the pressure and their expectations on the both of us, maybe I can finally make them feel guilty for putting all these burdens on us for so long. I know that it's a very bad thing, I know wanting people to suffer is despicable, but I don't know anymore. I just want to live happily with my little brother, without any care or pressure in this world. I didn't want to be someone big or successful just to prove my father wrong about leaving us, it was *their* desire. I didn't even want to compete with anyone, I just want to live like an average person, without any stress and all these health problems coming at me from overstressing. I just want to live quietly, graduate from a completely average university, adopt a few children and a little dog. That's all I ask for.
I just hope things get better, maybe if I was smarter and as capable as my little brother, they wouldn't have put so much pressure on us. I failed the entrance exam to every high school except one, now they're putting my little brother through all the pressure, forcing him to study much more than his body could handle and limited even his little break time he has left. I'm so sorry...
Edit: Oh yeah! Fun fact! Or not? Me and my little brother were pretty suicidal when we were young, it got better when we grow up tho, he lessened the feeling by hitting or scratching himself instead (I stopped him of course, but it's mostly too late since he did it quietly... But hey, at least it didn't leave any scars and there were just red bruises that heals pretty quickly!). Anddd for me? I don't hurt myself, in fact, I hate getting hurt, my scars heal pretty slowly and my body is dramatic and makes every scar on my body bigger as times passed. So yeah, if I hurt myself, I can't hide the scars anywhere, it's like my body knows about it and is trying to prevent me from doing it 😂 I still try to find ways to die peacefully tho, and also painless ofc. Most of them are painful and scary tho- And the ones that are painless are so hard to do. I don't have the means to make it happen. Plus, I don't wanna leave my little brother yet. I still want to hug him allll day long telling him how soft and adorable he is. So he's pretty much one of the biggest reasons I'm still living (❁´▽`❁)

This video really hits home for me. It explains a lot of things, like how I'm almost 40 and can't seem to get my life going. Well, with any luck, something will happen to me and I'll be dead soon. In addition to the loser I grew up to be, the world is getting worse and worse, so it'd be a relief.
I hope things turn out better for you!
@@moshmitra Thank you.
This is actually what I’m going through now. Whenever there’s a project, I wait 2 or 3 days before it’s due even then, I just feel like doing it. And when there’s a lot of work, I feel drained. It’s been like for 3 years and I don’t know how I can overcome it.
I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling with procrastination and feeling drained. Have you tried any strategies to help overcome it?

@@Psych2go I tried sleeping early and waking up early sometimes, but even then, it’s kinda hard to be productive.
I have all these symptoms but I don't know what should I do. And not doing anything about this makes me feel more frustrated and depressed. I hate this..
I hope you all can recover soon, it may be hard but not impossible. Just try to stay positive and pursue your passions and continue being happy. when things are at it's worse don't falter and yield, stand up, realize your mistakes and be a better version of yourself. Remember, a dark past can't stop you from shaping a bright future. Stay strong and I hope you may all recover from your troubles
This sums up my college semester :/
I think I need to sleep morezz
Congratulations 🎉 I'm just depressed not lazy
I started feeling down ever since I graduated hs now I’m stuck working for my families company I hardly go out and lost many contacts w friends and very rarely get paid basically working for free, it sucks so I guess I’m depressed and stressed out in this situation I’m in, I gotta start doing something instead of not trying.
I have a final exam retest tommorow, and I and not only can't I get myself to start, I also can't focus for 5 minutes.( even for subjects I like) I also have severe social anxiety disorder, Why can't I just be normal?
Agreed 👍🏽
Thanks for the hearted ❤️
Damn, there are always these sings on the internet that make me believe I have depression. I still refuse to believe my mental health is that bad.
You have to acknowledge a problem if you want to fix it, how would you fix a problem that your unable to see?
@@Lg-xt5eh I guess it is just not a problem that bothers me at the moment. Not to mention that there aren't many ways for me to fix it
@@laviniapoh1413 Just because there aren't many ways to fix it doesn't mean that there is no way at all, don't give up. Taking the hard way is better than taking the easy way as it usually has more benefits
Ever since my dad died earlier this month I’ve lost all motivation to work on my two extra credits I need to graduate and time is running out. At first I though it was because I was prioritizing video games over school, but I haven’t touched my video games in over 3 weeks. My mom thinks that it’s cause of my phone and Xbox, but I can barely find motivation to do things that make me happy anymore.
Thank you ❤
I think one should realize that even though you have depression, it isn’t an excuse to do nothing. Its important to cling on some hope in order to live, sometimes that work is that hope
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It's true that depression can make it difficult to do things, but it's important to find hope and work towards something, even if it's a small step. Do you have any tips on how to find hope when struggling with depression? :)
@Psych2Go To clarify what I mean a little bit about how having depression isn't going to be an excuse to do nothing in your life, is that I find that sometimes people justify their own sense of hopelessness and remorse by blaming the world for all of their faults and weakness and not improving on theirs. Its easy for ones perceptions to deceive the true intentions of one's character, which is why introspection and honesty to others can bring more insight to who you are, since you don't always are aware of what you are doing. Keep in mind that this doesn't demote the feelings of hopelessness and helplessness that one feels being depressed, as often the inability to actually move forward towards a task is just as fallacious as ones own perception of it.
For my own struggles it is rather difficult because there are a lot of times where I question my own intentions and motives as much as I question the motives and intentions of others. When you've been betrayed by so many people around you, its hard to look at things in a entirely trusting light, as I've let my guard down multiple times and I've gotten out of the situation worse off because of it. Even though I tend to be more agreeable compared to more guys my age, the trusting nature of myself comes more of the hope that I have for human beings, as I have seen beautiful things out of life just as I found horrific things in life too. Perhaps just because of the nature of that beauty is the reason why I keep going on with life rather than end it, which I have contemplated many times, and almost went through with it once, although ultimately decided not to because the pain of the death would be so immense that it wouldn't be even worth the commitment.
From all the pain and hardship that I had to endure due to this mental condition , one of the great things that I have achieved out of life was understanding that life isn't about what job I really get 5 years down the line, or what my parents living situation, its more like, something simple as just typing on a keyboard, relaxing in your pajamas, trying to figure out what to type next to be as clear as can be, even though occasionally looking into the future is much more important than the present, although establishing this as an absolute rule might dissuade myself from actually paying attention in the moment in the first place. I think the beauty in my own soul even despite that my mind rips me apart sometimes, is that despite the restless nights, painful headaches, vents in my friend's discord at 2 in the morning, or overdue projects and homework assignments, that the sole fact that I am still trying to find an answer through all this suffering, is truly remarkable.
I came here to watch the video because yes and finished it seeing that i have some of this things
Exactly! 😢
I've been called slow and lazy all my life but comes out I was undiagnosed ADHD
Thank you for sharing with us. Sometimes, we get labeled and categorized as lazy or slow when people don't understand what we are going through internally. How are you doing now? Does knowing that you may be struggling with undiagnosed ADHD help you handle these types of comments better?
@@Psych2go Thank you for the nice words 😌
Well I'm completely isolated now but at least I'm waiting for the medications prescription, I have high hopes in that.
Thank you again, I appreciate your thought
Can BPD/Bipolar symptoms also be a part of this kind of issue?
"You're depressed not lazy"oh I know that but I will ignore it
First comment🤩🔥❤️
On a Psych2Go video😃
A dream come true😁✌️
Time travelled here😂💙
Wtf... Do you do this when a phyc2go suicide vid comes out?
@@____________________________v. excuse me, mind your language
What is your problem now?
Are you out of your senses?
Lol first 300 here after it actually uploading

@@RMdmcy-NamShaForever no he’s saying it would be offensive to do this on a suic1de vid
OK, now how do i break it to my parents? (technically dad cus moms still not home cus work)
OK, I gotta break the story down first
Also I should mention this was me just connecting the points in life together, I'm guessing at least some of this is incorrect
So, this was about a month-ish ago
I have a big test in biology, and seeing that I suck at biology and have a terrible, i studied 3 days, so long and so hard that i just felt so overwhelmed on the day before the test itself so that was the one I skipped. My parents had been telling me to study that day as well but I couldn't get myself to study at all.
When the day comes, turns out it got delayed when I wasn't there, but our teacher was asking questions to get ready for the test. I knew practically nothing.
I studied a bit more, but there was practically nothing else to study, and I have no idea where she pulled those questions from. When the test came, I of course knew nothing. Got an F. I don't really know how to connect the dots anymore from this point, and that test being a big part of the main cause of my current state is also just a guess, but you can guess what happened next. Fast forward a bit, and I have to study more, but I'm just so unmotivated. What's the point if I know I'm gonna fail? My parents (at this point just dad as mom had already gone for work) has been telling me to study but I couldn't get myself to do it. It has been making a bigger and bigger problem, and that's where I am now. Dad noticed something off with me yesterday and the day before, as I just seemed off and sad all the time when I come home from school. I don't know how to break it to him, as it will probably be, yet again, just another instance of basically "studying isn't that hard youre making things up","you never listen to me and never study" and similar things. I know my family cares about me but... I only felt safe confessing to a school friend of mine. That's how the situation is. I don't know what to even say anymore.... i know i need help but im too scared to say anything as it will most likely be taken as something serious but slowly turn into the stuff previously mentioned...
i still cant relate at all.
at first when i saw my friends doing something, part of myself thought that "i will do it just like my friend did it", but somehow when i want to start it, other part of myself starting to react like im clueless at all, at everything to start it, idk what should i do, so i just overthinking it and in the end i didnt do anything at all.
it is just me being lazy, right?
somehow i didnt understand about myself and what i want to do, overthinking really kill myself at this point....
Yes I’ve been feeling like this 😢
I have only 7 days left for my crit and here i am 😫 i just can't. There's so much work to do
If possible im curious about a video on trying to balance treating depression with work, mental health days off and/or how to try to bring up your issues while staying employed or working. I feel like i explained this horribly.
Thank you for your suggestion. It's a great topic to cover and we appreciate your input. We'll definitely take your suggestion into consideration for our upcoming videos. Is there anything else you'd like us to cover in our videos?
I have AD HD, autism and I get depressed really easily
Hi Psych2Go! Could you research and do a video on PMDD? I've recently learned about it, and I may have it. It's a condition that isn't as rare as people think and 5-10% of women who menstruate have it. A simple explaination is that instead of normal PMS, PMDD causes the person to act out more severely, emotionally, and can include symptoms such as brain fog, memory loss, exaggerated worries, and severe anxiety and depression. I'm talking not just feeling down and wanting some chocolate, but full on wanting to commit suicide or harm others. But then, once your period begins the symptoms subside within a few days.
I've been struggling with it a lot in my 20s, and am only finding answers to my condition.
Depression is also 24/7 carrying the Weight of un'fueled great common sense solutions _ Depression leads to De'progression, that creates more depression'- slow mentally painful realization flinch,... and its 7 days later, repete...
Jesus bless you all
