@@danielrierson6683 Well I have the symptoms in this video. I grew up with both parents but they didn't really seem to be interested in being parents. I wasn't allowed to do sports cause of mild asthma that goes away after I keep going a bit and was told to just go outside and play. Neither did drugs and were Christians they just didn't want to do anything with me or my brother except let us sleep in their house.
@@MrWhateverfitsI feel you, my parents were never interested in me. They just treated me worse as I got older. My father sees me as completion and my mother just wanted to take money off me. Both treat my sister differently though. We never asked to be here but they make out like we’re a problem. No child should have to feel this way. It’s really fucked my life up ❤️
I suffered severe depression and mental disorder years ago as a teenage. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Spent my whole life fighting cptsd. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
I'm so very happy for you, Psilocybin is absolutely amazing, the way it shows you things, the way it teaches you things. I can not believe our world and our people shows less interest about it's helpfulness to humanity. It's love. The mushrooms heals people by showing the truth, it would be so beneficial for so many people, especially politicians and the rich who have lost their way and every other persons out there.
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Australia don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏
Yes he's Ali shroom. My daughter did straight shrooms in few days. Made her whole! after words, no more addictions, pains, ptsd and depression. It helped us.
I've had High Functioning Depression all of my life. Once every few years, it slips into major depression for weeks or months. Thanks for making this video. Not a lot of people are familiar with HFD or how it effects those of us who have it.
@Guiding Echoes Thanks for speaking up of those major devastating episodes.. I only recently noticed this pattern in my life but most of the videos or other individuals barely mention it.. I was confused about what it is exactly I feel or as if it's not real in fact! Thanks, sometimes feeling a little heard helps a lot ♡
I completely understand I have high functioning depression and days it get so bad I don’t want to clean and I ignore my hygiene and I have to force myself to do basic tasks
I can’t show my true self when I’m with others, don’t want them to worry, or judge. But I’m struggling. It’s like holding on to a very thin piece of wood in the ocean, I’m barely floating but I’m not drowning. The sense of hopelessness doesn’t allow me to feel determined to finish a task so I’m 25 but still struggling through university. Doing it for the family. Doesn’t even know what’s the point of everything I’m doing.
Oh my gosh same but I'm in high school I'm alawys late or absent(most of the school work is online) and my grades are either adverge or below. I'm tying my best to get through it to make my parents proud but it's really exhausting as I struggle to find the motivation to keep up.
Is there any way that you've found now to not be affected by it, if not forsaking @CheerUp World? When it slips into major episodes I feel like I can't go on anymore & irony is people close to me barely get it even if I've come up with courage I could, because I can't think of living like this any longer.
I'm in elementary school but I can't show my true self to others too. I'm only 11 but I'm struggling with life and nobody notices it. I'm getting through school work and everything but there's a secret about my family that I cannot expose. This is making me really depressed and I don't know what type of depression it is. Depression is getting really bad and I can't help it. The worst thing is I can't find help and it's been getting really bad. I'm hopeless and I don't even know what I'm doing now. I don't know what the point of living is when everyone hates me. I have the perfect plan and a few back up plans for me to . . . . leave. I know how it feels to be depressed and I don't wanna talk to anyone about it because they'll just put more hate on me. I'm sorry for living, I'm sorry of being a disappointment, I'm sorry for not being perfect, I'm sorry for everything bad that happened.
@@annieli7269 Hey...I really hope you're reading this right now. I can safely say that I can 100% understand. I'm just an 11 y/o kid as well. I was diagnosed with a ''risk of depression'' years ago from a psychiatrist . Seems like that ''risk'' has reached me. It's sad, because I can't tell anybody, they wouldn't believe me, right? After all, I'm just an elementary school kid who has absolutely 0 struggles in life, right? I can't even count the number of times I took out a piece of sharp metal and just...you know? Life is can just be so tiring at times. I can barely hold onto my own life, but I really want you to hold onto yours. I guess, I'm just a depressed and suicidal kid trying to tell another depressed and suicidal kid that suicide isn't the answer. Just hold on a little while more, okay? The person writing this is is holding on with you. Let's hold on together.
@@hanahcafe Thank you for understanding. I really needed it. I don't even know how many times I've opened the bottle of pills ready to overdose on it. I lost track of it like you. Thank you for taking your time to respond to my comment. Thank you for understanding me in every way. Thank you for being there for me when I needed it. If you don't mind, is it okay if we keep on texting each other and become friends?
Depression nothing matters anymore and doing anything cost a huge amount of effort. Only seeing and feeling the negative about everything. Sometimes I feel a wave of emotional pain and sometimes there's no feeling it's just empty.
I can definitely tell the difference between my highs and lows. My lows make me feel caged to the world. Almost like a fear of going around others or stepping outside. Unmotivated and super zoned out. My high literally keeps me up all night the next day 😟
One of my aunt actually lost her life due to depression. She would cry all the time and as kids we would wonder what was wrong and even get irritated sometimes but I wish I understood then.
I broke up with a girl that I was in an almost three year relationship 6 months ago and I’m still feeling the effects of it. I’ve never been like this for this long of a period of time in past breakups. I don’t know if it’s that I’m 32 now and I’m really starting to think about getting older and feeling like I’ll die alone. I’ve never been the type of person in the past that felt like I needed a relationship for happiness, but I feel extremely alone. I don’t really have any family or friends that I can talk to and the isolation is what hurts most. I’m able to work, go to the gym, and do other hobbies that used to give me joy and fulfillment which now don’t really do it for me. I feel like I have no reason to feel that sadness and yet it’s still there. Never debilitating, but definitely uncomfortable
This is what I go through on a daily basis. It's been roughly a decade. Nothing has helped thus far. Meds, therapy, etc. I won't commit suicide because of the toll it would take on my loved ones, but I can't say I don't consider it frequently.
I feel the same. I work at a large company where many dream to work at (of course I feel I don't deserve it and they made a mistake on hiring me)., I'm shy but with a lot of "energy" during work hours., I can complete my work. I smile a lot to hide my true self. When I was a kid I prayed every night to become a tree, or to no wake up anymore. That clearly never happened... I dream about shutting down my body and soul one day, peacefully and without pain. I remember that in 2014 I saw that someone created a capsule to commit suicide, and I dreamt to have one of those. I hope one day there's a law to assist people with peaceful suicide. I'd pay for it, and I'd book for that. Meanwhile I'll keep fakely smiling until I can finally dissapear
im one. career is ok, never screw up anything. work relationships are fine. friendships are ok too. nobody knows whats underneath. we all deserve an oscar for our efforts.
The death of Chelsie Kryst brought me here. I had no clue what High Functioning Depression is. This is what was said she was suffering from. Rest In Peace Queen ❤️🙏🏼
I have suffered from dysthymia since my teenage years. Major life changes lead to low points. I am currently working with a therapist to get out of this rut. We are considering medication, but we are also working on a list of projects and activities that I enjoy.
I spent about 20 years on dysthimia. The cause, heartbreak. Afterthe initial major depression I went to that phase, covering my pain with food and women, up and down body weight. How I got out, going through major depression again, and leting all the pain out. It was hell and slow to go, but in the end I was free from the pain, it had fizzled out. Tears have a biological fumction, is your body shedding away the pain
I just got diagnosed with high functioning depression today. I thought i was just simply burned out or it was my adhd. Atleast in my experience this video is pretty accurate especially since i struggle with 4 of the 5 symptoms in this video.. Thanks for this it was very insightful.
Hi everybody, just dropping by to check up on ya. Life isn't always rose bushes and meadows full of unicorns. It's okay to feel. It makes you human. If you're in a dark place, you're so brave. You may not feel it but wanna know how I know? Because you're here watching this video. You're diving deep into...yourself. *That* says so much. Keep going, never give up and stay brave. You got this! 💖❤💖
This is one of the best videos I have seen on persistent depressive disorder. I was looking for one to share, and this is it. The reason I say this is that many explanations sound much more like major depressive disorder. Someone can certainly not know that they have it, or never remember a time that they weren’t that way.
Thank you so much for this. This past year I've been struggling with a lot of those symptoms, but it was only a few weeks ago that I thought it might be depression. And this video really hit the nail right on the head with everything I've been experiencing. I can't thank you enough for all the great content you put out, and I will definitely be taking that quiz 🙏
I always just thought that I was tired all the time. It wasn't until somebody asked me today if I was alright; and that's when it clicked. For the last couple years, I've been drifting through life feeling confined. All these points sort of hit home for me..
5 signs : - Lack of energy or fatigue - Fellings of hopelessness, worry or guilt - Difficulty concentrating or focusing - Irritability - Excessive drinkin, exercise, or other unhealthy coping mechanisms Good luck to anyone experiencing one or more of those symptoms.
To anyone scrolling through comment, know that your journey is unique, and your presence in this world is significant. Amidst the ups and downs, your resilience shines through. You're not alone, and there's strength in acknowledging both the struggles and triumphs. Take a moment for self-care, and remember, your story matters.❤
Great video. It seems I had a high functioning depression in high school (like probably most teens). I sought professional help and got medication. It did not really help and I did not feel like my feelings where taken seriously. It is just much to normal to feel and act like that as a teen. In the end my cure was getting out of that depressing school (Gymnasium in Switzerland) and finding a job that gave reason to my life.
High functioning depression can hold you back in many ways including your job and relationships. You "friends" will sense your depression and avoid you after you become a pain in the ass to them. The opposite gender can detect it and it is not attractive. You'll never get ahead in your job with high functioning depression and may end up with poor job performance if it gets you down too much. This needs to be addressed the earlier the better. Don't make the mistake of not doing something about it. It will save you years of frustration and pain. Take it from me.
It takes incredible effort for me to function but I do. I usually think about my adult children to keep going but I'm rarely at my best and the best I can often do is to just show up and hope I eventually feel good enough to actually be productive. Something has to be said very positively to me for me to have a chance of success. I'm very irritable and can express rage but no desire to hurt anyone.
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 here
Psychedelics are the reason why i didn't take my life when i was at my end . I was stripped of my ego and saw the beauty of life and interconnectivity and even though i still battle anxiety and depression , I'm doing better everyday and will never think in such a self destructive way again .
One of my best experiences in my life was doing Isd and writing a paper on my interpretation of God and how the universe works , it was amazing and i got an A in the college class of comparative religion
I used to think I didn’t have anything of the sort. Now, I’m not diagnosed, and I might be completely wrong. But after research, I think I could possibly have high-functioning depression and social anxiety. I’m too scared to talk to my parents about it, and I’m worried they’ll think I’m dramatic or lying for attention. Again, I could easily be wrong, but I just have all the symptoms of high-functioning depression mentioned here and many signs in social anxiety.
Persistent depression is not high functioning depression.Someone with major depression can seem high functioning also. As a diagnosis, high functioning depression does not exist and you cant tell how bad depression is by being able to go to work, etc
Research suggests that continuing difficulties - long-term unemployment, living in an abusive or uncaring relationship, long-term isolation or loneliness, prolonged work stress - are more likely to cause depression than recent life stresses.👏
When you need something, either its physical or mentally needs and you didn't get that people called it disease please be brave. Like I was stuck in debt and i already talked to my family and all my relatives no one coming to help so if i die in that situation I don't think its a wrong choice
here is the program to fight depression: take your meds, exercise daily for 40 minutes, take sunlight and vitamin d, take omega 3 supplements, you may add other supplements that fight depression, eat healthy foods that fight depression and avoid the unhealthy ones that cause it, and be patient it may take a month to see first signs of recovery, and some more to fully recover from it
I smile and laugh alot around my friends and family that often people tell me that I'm faking it to the point I'm starting to think I'm actually faking it even tho whatever depression test/vid i take/watch i always end up with a high score or noticing that i have a lot of symptoms of depression 😔💔
I am a 13 year old girl and all of these I am experiencing right now. I have no motivation or energy to help with chores, even taking showers, I have so much on my mind right now, I can't concentrate on keeping up a healthy schedule for myself, I definitely am irritable, and the way I cope is skipping meals, playing games all day, not drinking enough water. Its extremely unhealthy...but i cant help it.. I can't tell my parents, of course. because my parents would just say "its just your hormones" or "well maybe if u wouldn't be-" or some other bullshit like that. I hurt myself and they don't even know it. I've thought about stabbing my leg, arms, and cutting my arm. though I've never actually done it, I did think of it. I never thought i would scratch myself before, but I do anyways, so how long until I end up actually harming myself? every time I come home I am burdened with these responsibilities and high expectations and its making me depressed. the only friends i have live many states away from me and are my online friends, so this summer break I will be entirely alone. I see posts that my friends upload of them with their partners and that makes me even more lonely. I am constantly pushed down by my parents. I came home yesterday from a fun day with my grandma and I had so many things I wanted to tell and show my mother... but instead of showing interest she just yelled at me fore not doing enough chores and yelled at me to do more chores. I refused and started putting up the printed pictures which I had just spent money making so I would have a nice memory collage, she came upstairs to see I hadnt done anything and immediately started yelling at me saying "enough doing this bullshit" and "put this non sense away" I was hurt. that morning I was having a real shitty one and once I got with my grandma I was actually happy! but then right when I came back home that changed. I want to go live with her.. I have my own room at her house.. but would I be in the wrong? I have 3 younger siblings -two of which are very capable of helping out, but they dont. so would I be wrong for walking out and leaving them with no help? its not like they appreciate my help anyways.. so would it really be that bad?? I dont know what to do anymore. I am on the brink of insanity. I literally cried myself to sleep last night because I was so lonely...and hurt...and conflicted...please leave any advice in the comments because I dont know what to do.
Hang in there. I don’t have all the answers but I know what helps me - music, art & nature. Pick up some paper and start drawing or writing. Maybe an instrument? Everything takes time so be patient with yourself. And be forgiving to yourself because deep down you are a flower waiting to blossom. I honestly think creating is a good way to uplift ones spirit and gets some things off your mind or off you heavy heart. Life is a whirlpool and constantly changing so we may go through some tough times but they will pass and usher in a new time and a new opportunity to be at peace and happy for a change. Listening to some music and movie films really helped me also because I believe they were created with a pure intention. Last thing I think that helps is getting outdoors and seeing natures wonders - a sunrise or sunset is quite magical on the right hill or bridge. It’s okay to cry, laugh, scream or be sad or happy because sometimes it’s just too much to bear and that is after all what it means to be human. Good luck on your journey!!! Be strong be love take care!!
@@christophernobody7471 Thank you so much. I am doing a little better now, Of course it's not completely better, I am sure what I'm going to do. I really appreciate what you've said to me. Stay safe
We need to have realistic expectations of others and this world. This world is full of problems and imperfections so we learn over time that we probably should not be placing all of our hopes and expectations that things will work out great here for any length of time. Yet the problem is that the messages that we receive from many others is that one can experience perfect love and happiness in this world. We see in all the advertising that other people supposedly are so happy, living such a perfect life. But we know this is not reality. If we have more realistic expectations, we can avoid many disappointments.
I was just thinking this. The way we're told to look at mental health and well being is there's a standard for everyone. This is incorrect with all the differences in our lives. For example, of course someone with a lot more money, a better job, etc is going to be happier. With realistic expectations for our individual lives, we can see where our metal state should be and what we can expect as happiness.
im a strange guy because i know i got high functioning depression, but im very good at my job and most of the time its the only thing that makes me happy. im not a workaholic, maybe i work up to 45-50 hours a week. my workespace is most of the time very cleaned up and all my tools are in the right place. im very perfectionistic... but not at home. at home most of the time i don't have really energy to do more shit. its a torture to wash clothes, getting the dishes in the washer, cleaning my apartment, sorting things... but the hardest thing for me is to being lonely. sometimes i wish i had a person to cuddle with or doing relationship things together... but its like im to complex for other people, or maybe i look too strange... im very handsome, loyal and lovely. but no one really wants to cheer up with me. makes me even more uncomfortable to think im so complicated that i didn't meant to be in a relationship...
the second sign.. i just felt that mostly.. 1st ye i used to like beeing home all day.. 2nd ye biggest problem that i hate my body and, nobody understands that 3rd idk i started meditating lucid dreaming and ap, otherwise i wouldnt say i have difficulties to focus, more like i keep pushing my plans into nex day 4th yeah i irritate a lot mostly when i am home 5th i eat same amount but i started smoking (altho i hate smoking so much) and drinking alcohol, lately i havent drink alcohol cause i dont like the effect
Important topic and nice presentation but you should be upfront and warn that to get the results of your Becks depression scale test you require ones personel information and indentification.
Me: has had an initial appointment and already accepted that they'll be going into stationary treatment as soon as a space opens up. My brain: so if it lasts 2-3 years it'll go away by itself? So everything is fine.. Holy hell, realizing just how much you are rationalizing hurts.
I really suffer with this. Sometimes I don't know how I will survive and yet as soon as people are around the mask is back up and I'm pushing through but when I'm alone it is a living hell 😢
Wow I've been dealing with this for 6years And I'm very strong-willed and I keep going but every symptom you mentioned that's exactly what I've been dealing with But people Don't see it or believe it when I do tell them.
Sad to say that i felt almost all of the symtomps and i still fighting them for many years now. hoping that u can find an answer within me without informing anyone of why am i like this now and it wasn't me before. I can say that this is very hard. Imagine you are still alive but you feel like a dead 🥺
Moderately depressed spacing out at work. Working and volunteering. Not making my volunteer hours 😔. Feeling like a terrible coworker at work. Also overeating. Also fatigued and looking for affordable therapy through my insurance.
I have some symptoms n some physical ones too but I actually don’t rlly feel overwhelming guilt or worry I worry sometimes but mostly I just feel tired drained n blank just feel numbness
I've functional freeze depression in one year. I can't sleep even I can't move many hours I take sitting on the sofa. I can't go outside even I don't want to talk people I'm really suffering 😭😭
Hi,.. you are not alone. Suffering the same way, unable to go outside, or go anywhere. I also cannot sleep. I don't do any hobbies, activities I used to enjoy because I don't feel enjoyment anymore. I just sit... or lay down. I cry all the time, I don't want to be like this anymore,... just suffering 😭😩..
even if something makes me happy or I hear a compliment I just can't smile. Like it takes a conscious effort to make myself smile. The thing that kills me is all I want is to move back to my home to be near family. I live on the west coast and my parents live on the east coast. I have two kids and a wife.....so I feel extreme guilt for not being able to provide a better life and make it impossible for my parents to see their grandchilden. Its just so expensive to fly. I just wanna move back east so bad. I have only seen my mom 2x in 15yrs.
I think this looks like regular life of everyone. Don’t take this signs as crucial because it could be that you don’t have any of this but live this signs every now and then
I know I’m likely just faking it. On the other hand though, I’ve had so much trouble talking to people and being social. I’ve got lots of irritability too. I used to really like doing things, now I kinda just want to not do anything. I’m probably just lazy though.😊
"Here take this pill. Didn't work? I got another one right here for you." "Try this psychiatrist. Oh, they moved on. Don't worry we can find another one." Push, replace, deplete - the gauntlet of medicine.
You know it’s really bad when 4 out of 5 signs fit you, too bad I live in a shit town where one have to wait over 2 years to get to talk to some psychologist. I might as well die before they contact me, then they might start care
Yeah, yeah, you should reach out for help. Of course - that is bleeding obvious !! But you have avoided the crucial issue in this : cost. It costs a lot to get treatment from a therapist. And it is also often very difficult to get an appointment, because so many people need help. This video makes it sound easy, but it isn't. It's not just denial on the part of the person with depression. Its largely about the systemic problems across society that work against people looking for a solution.
I'm always joking and laughing and making fun of everything and rarely take anything seriously, because I have treatment-resistant major depressive disorder.
Research Microdose psilocybin helps remove depression anxiety and more basically Magic mushrooms I feel bad for ppl who don’t kno about this but pls it does help read reviews on UA-cam tiktok every we’re also I’m in depressed so I can’t wait to get back up on my feel thank me later
I was diagnosed with schizophrenia. Some of these symptoms of high functioning depressions do exhibit at times daily despite taking risperidone, the psychiatric medicine. I prefer to cure these symptoms by going out for a walk , read a book of interest, do some healthy exercise and some other coping methods. Drug therapy usually have a lot of side effects and it's not natural. So, unless you are suffering from deeply psychic depressions I suggest is best not to take psychiatric medicine because it may leads to motoring function impairment, visual impairment, high blood pressure, constipation and other miscellaneous physiological side effects besides it's expensive seeing a psychiatrist for treatment. 🙆♂️🤧🦁🐐🦕🐚👀👨❤️👨🧑🎓🏃🏊
I m highly intrested in thease staff. Last few years i m more and more awaring -mind/body TOP STATE. From time to time i notiace that i feel and funkcion Super Grate. What hapends so i drop out from tracks. My own and other people general development,knowlage. And i more and more thinc its possible for almoust if not all people to super quik get into thease FOCUSED STATE-True State-truly well organised mind/SOCIATY. Evryone geting significulty better!
I can function on a societal bare minimum I’m even well know in my local community for helping people whenever I can and coming such a far ways from criminal insanity that I’m “normal” however I only operate on airplane mode with general reality and experience vivid and short periods of hyper realism and tbh I’m deemed high functioning and for that a lot of my issues get ignored. I’ve had a date time and exact place/ method To kill myself in December on the 27th but I’m told I’m just being manic and to keep going to work and take my meds
Very informative video, but i choose not to do anything about it. In my eyes high functioning depression, is a thousand times better than severe depression. I'm lucky to get out of that state of mind a few years back. The more I watch this type of videos, the bigger the chance I will relapse. Life is too short to be hung up on one thing for too long.
Getting help only works if your rich or lucky. For example when i sought help at 20 the place just made a quick asemebt of adhd and depression giving me meds that actualy work badly together cuasing anxiety and stress. They than never called to make an appoibtment and every time i called they said they were working on it. Second attept was in college i was given pills and once a month road a bus for an hour there and another hour back just so someone could ask how im feeling. Id say alright culd be better and they would just give me more pills and send me home.
My brother is diagnosed with High functioning depression, all of my family struggle mentally in some way. I decided to watch this video and unfortunately I check all the boxes.. But my therapist doesn't believe me I'm depressed maybe because I have highs and lows and she saw me at my lowest and nothing is ever as bad as it was..
It’s so crucial to shed light on this. Sometimes the people that seem like they have it all together on their own need the most help.
I can relate to that
You think parental divorce and stepparents and being a military kid can cause long term anxiety and depression?
@@danielrierson6683 Well I have the symptoms in this video. I grew up with both parents but they didn't really seem to be interested in being parents. I wasn't allowed to do sports cause of mild asthma that goes away after I keep going a bit and was told to just go outside and play. Neither did drugs and were Christians they just didn't want to do anything with me or my brother except let us sleep in their house.
@@MrWhateverfitsI feel you, my parents were never interested in me. They just treated me worse as I got older. My father sees me as completion and my mother just wanted to take money off me.
Both treat my sister differently though.
We never asked to be here but they make out like we’re a problem.
No child should have to feel this way.
It’s really fucked my life up ❤️
Sometimes the happiest person in the room on the outside is the saddest one on the inside, because they do not want others to feel the way they do
I suffered severe depression and mental disorder years ago as a teenage. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Spent my whole life fighting cptsd. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Australia don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏
How do I reach out to him? Is he on Facebook
Yes he's Ali shroom. My daughter did straight shrooms in few days. Made her whole! after words, no more addictions, pains, ptsd and depression. It helped us.
Thanks for sharing this great information, this would help my son.
I've had High Functioning Depression all of my life. Once every few years, it slips into major depression for weeks or months. Thanks for making this video. Not a lot of people are familiar with HFD or how it effects those of us who have it.
Funny that both of you mention this; I was talking about it last night, and then this morning there's a video on it that was very helpful.
Try Microdose psilocybin look it up n read UA-cam comments
@Guiding Echoes Thanks for speaking up of those major devastating episodes.. I only recently noticed this pattern in my life but most of the videos or other individuals barely mention it.. I was confused about what it is exactly I feel or as if it's not real in fact! Thanks, sometimes feeling a little heard helps a lot ♡
i think i may have it but i am not sure
I completely understand I have high functioning depression and days it get so bad I don’t want to clean and I ignore my hygiene and I have to force myself to do basic tasks
I watch these depression videos and feel like I’m playing bingo. And I always win.
I can’t show my true self when I’m with others, don’t want them to worry, or judge. But I’m struggling. It’s like holding on to a very thin piece of wood in the ocean, I’m barely floating but I’m not drowning. The sense of hopelessness doesn’t allow me to feel determined to finish a task so I’m 25 but still struggling through university. Doing it for the family. Doesn’t even know what’s the point of everything I’m doing.
Oh my gosh same but I'm in high school I'm alawys late or absent(most of the school work is online) and my grades are either adverge or below. I'm tying my best to get through it to make my parents proud but it's really exhausting as I struggle to find the motivation to keep up.
Is there any way that you've found now to not be affected by it, if not forsaking @CheerUp World?
When it slips into major episodes I feel like I can't go on anymore & irony is people close to me barely get it even if I've come up with courage I could, because I can't think of living like this any longer.
I'm in elementary school but I can't show my true self to others too. I'm only 11 but I'm struggling with life and nobody notices it. I'm getting through school work and everything but there's a secret about my family that I cannot expose. This is making me really depressed and I don't know what type of depression it is. Depression is getting really bad and I can't help it. The worst thing is I can't find help and it's been getting really bad. I'm hopeless and I don't even know what I'm doing now. I don't know what the point of living is when everyone hates me. I have the perfect plan and a few back up plans for me to . . . . leave. I know how it feels to be depressed and I don't wanna talk to anyone about it because they'll just put more hate on me.
I'm sorry for living,
I'm sorry of being a disappointment,
I'm sorry for not being perfect,
I'm sorry for everything bad that happened.
@@annieli7269 Hey...I really hope you're reading this right now. I can safely say that I can 100% understand. I'm just an 11 y/o kid as well. I was diagnosed with a ''risk of depression'' years ago from a psychiatrist . Seems like that ''risk'' has reached me. It's sad, because I can't tell anybody, they wouldn't believe me, right? After all, I'm just an elementary school kid who has absolutely 0 struggles in life, right? I can't even count the number of times I took out a piece of sharp metal and just...you know? Life is can just be so tiring at times. I can barely hold onto my own life, but I really want you to hold onto yours.
I guess, I'm just a depressed and suicidal kid trying to tell another depressed and suicidal kid that suicide isn't the answer.
Just hold on a little while more, okay? The person writing this is is holding on with you. Let's hold on together.
@@hanahcafe Thank you for understanding. I really needed it. I don't even know how many times I've opened the bottle of pills ready to overdose on it. I lost track of it like you. Thank you for taking your time to respond to my comment. Thank you for understanding me in every way. Thank you for being there for me when I needed it. If you don't mind, is it okay if we keep on texting each other and become friends?
Well explained,i lost someone close to me because of high functioning depression. We never saw it coming, she seem so active and happy. Rip friend😢
Sorry for the loss of your friend 🖤🌺
May she rest in peace .. 💔🥀
The biggest mystery of my life: why I stopped being happy when I was 11 years old
The great mystery of my life too.
holy shit why is that me
Same
*Nine years old
I think because our family started to compare us with others
The fact that I'm watching this rn because I can't focus on studying... and commenting bc I can't focus on fully watching the video... Yikes ._.
Depression nothing matters anymore and doing anything cost a huge amount of effort. Only seeing and feeling the negative about everything. Sometimes I feel a wave of emotional pain and sometimes there's no feeling it's just empty.
I can definitely tell the difference between my highs and lows. My lows make me feel caged to the world. Almost like a fear of going around others or stepping outside. Unmotivated and super zoned out. My high literally keeps me up all night the next day 😟
One of my aunt actually lost her life due to depression. She would cry all the time and as kids we would wonder what was wrong and even get irritated sometimes but I wish I understood then.
Well I've already known Im suffering from a depression, but nice to be reminded that It's real and I'm not just a lazy.
I broke up with a girl that I was in an almost three year relationship 6 months ago and I’m still feeling the effects of it. I’ve never been like this for this long of a period of time in past breakups. I don’t know if it’s that I’m 32 now and I’m really starting to think about getting older and feeling like I’ll die alone. I’ve never been the type of person in the past that felt like I needed a relationship for happiness, but I feel extremely alone. I don’t really have any family or friends that I can talk to and the isolation is what hurts most. I’m able to work, go to the gym, and do other hobbies that used to give me joy and fulfillment which now don’t really do it for me. I feel like I have no reason to feel that sadness and yet it’s still there. Never debilitating, but definitely uncomfortable
This is what I go through on a daily basis. It's been roughly a decade. Nothing has helped thus far. Meds, therapy, etc. I won't commit suicide because of the toll it would take on my loved ones, but I can't say I don't consider it frequently.
I feel the same. I work at a large company where many dream to work at (of course I feel I don't deserve it and they made a mistake on hiring me)., I'm shy but with a lot of "energy" during work hours., I can complete my work. I smile a lot to hide my true self.
When I was a kid I prayed every night to become a tree, or to no wake up anymore. That clearly never happened...
I dream about shutting down my body and soul one day, peacefully and without pain.
I remember that in 2014 I saw that someone created a capsule to commit suicide, and I dreamt to have one of those.
I hope one day there's a law to assist people with peaceful suicide. I'd pay for it, and I'd book for that. Meanwhile I'll keep fakely smiling until I can finally dissapear
I feel you there
I feel the same way
Do you do excercise?
@@jazmin6031hey bro, how's it going. Try GyM/yoga it recently changed something in me.
im one. career is ok, never screw up anything. work relationships are fine. friendships are ok too. nobody knows whats underneath. we all deserve an oscar for our efforts.
The death of Chelsie Kryst brought me here. I had no clue what High Functioning Depression is. This is what was said she was suffering from. Rest In Peace Queen ❤️🙏🏼
I have suffered from dysthymia since my teenage years. Major life changes lead to low points. I am currently working with a therapist to get out of this rut. We are considering medication, but we are also working on a list of projects and activities that I enjoy.
I spent about 20 years on dysthimia. The cause, heartbreak. Afterthe initial major depression I went to that phase, covering my pain with food and women, up and down body weight.
How I got out, going through major depression again, and leting all the pain out. It was hell and slow to go, but in the end I was free from the pain, it had fizzled out.
Tears have a biological fumction, is your body shedding away the pain
I just got diagnosed with high functioning depression today. I thought i was just simply burned out or it was my adhd. Atleast in my experience this video is pretty accurate especially since i struggle with 4 of the 5 symptoms in this video.. Thanks for this it was very insightful.
Hi everybody, just dropping by to check up on ya. Life isn't always rose bushes and meadows full of unicorns. It's okay to feel. It makes you human.
If you're in a dark place, you're so brave. You may not feel it but wanna know how I know? Because you're here watching this video. You're diving deep into...yourself. *That* says so much. Keep going, never give up and stay brave. You got this! 💖❤💖
This is one of the best videos I have seen on persistent depressive disorder. I was looking for one to share, and this is it. The reason I say this is that many explanations sound much more like major depressive disorder. Someone can certainly not know that they have it, or never remember a time that they weren’t that way.
Great to see you posting Theodore! Been missing the content lately and was wondering where you were
Thank you so much for this. This past year I've been struggling with a lot of those symptoms, but it was only a few weeks ago that I thought it might be depression. And this video really hit the nail right on the head with everything I've been experiencing. I can't thank you enough for all the great content you put out, and I will definitely be taking that quiz 🙏
Hey man, feels like you’re calling me out in this video 😂😅
I always just thought that I was tired all the time. It wasn't until somebody asked me today if I was alright; and that's when it clicked. For the last couple years, I've been drifting through life feeling confined. All these points sort of hit home for me..
5 signs :
- Lack of energy or fatigue
- Fellings of hopelessness, worry or guilt
- Difficulty concentrating or focusing
- Irritability
- Excessive drinkin, exercise, or other unhealthy coping mechanisms
Good luck to anyone experiencing one or more of those symptoms.

Great video.
It seems I had a high functioning depression in high school (like probably most teens). I sought professional help and got medication. It did not really help and I did not feel like my feelings where taken seriously. It is just much to normal to feel and act like that as a teen. In the end my cure was getting out of that depressing school (Gymnasium in Switzerland) and finding a job that gave reason to my life.
High functioning depression can hold you back in many ways including your job and relationships. You "friends" will sense your depression and avoid you after you become a pain in the ass to them. The opposite gender can detect it and it is not attractive. You'll never get ahead in your job with high functioning depression and may end up with poor job performance if it gets you down too much. This needs to be addressed the earlier the better. Don't make the mistake of not doing something about it. It will save you years of frustration and pain. Take it from me.
I think I'm addressing this way to late in my life my school is about to kick me out for not showing up to class regularly and getting poor grades 💀
@@sarahnol5548 If you are still in school you are not too late in life to be addressing this.
@@sarahnol5548 take a medical absence
@@sarahnol5548 usually called authorized medical absence
@@robert.m6755 it’s not that easy tho cause some peoples parents can’t get them diagnosis’s and therapy or just overall don’t believe them
Make yourself a priority.. this too shall pass
It takes incredible effort for me to function but I do. I usually think about my adult children to keep going but I'm rarely at my best and the best I can often do is to just show up and hope I eventually feel good enough to actually be productive. Something has to be said very positively to me for me to have a chance of success. I'm very irritable and can express rage but no desire to hurt anyone.
Same! 💯 You're not alone my friend!! 🤝🏽🙏🏽
this describes how I feel 100%. it is truly hard to live with.
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 here
Psychedelics are the reason why i didn't take my life when i was at my end . I was stripped of my ego and saw the beauty of life and interconnectivity and even though i still battle anxiety and depression , I'm doing better everyday and will never think in such a self destructive way again .
I have been having constant and unbearable anxiety because of university.
dr.jeromespores is life saver. Thank you

I used to think I didn’t have anything of the sort. Now, I’m not diagnosed, and I might be completely wrong. But after research, I think I could possibly have high-functioning depression and social anxiety. I’m too scared to talk to my parents about it, and I’m worried they’ll think I’m dramatic or lying for attention. Again, I could easily be wrong, but I just have all the symptoms of high-functioning depression mentioned here and many signs in social anxiety.
I've crossed the threshold from depression to soul-dead nihilism. I'm just running down the clock until it's time to punch the ticket.
Great, I did the test. "Severe depression"... awesome.
I feel that...being at home made me realised I dont have good friends☹️
@Divrit saini At least you have friends bud
Good friends are hard to find. Hang in there
Me too stay strong
Your test doesn't show the question :(
Persistent depression is not high functioning depression.Someone with major depression can seem high functioning also. As a diagnosis, high functioning depression does not exist and you cant tell how bad depression is by being able to go to work, etc
I’m here. I’m crazy engaging with my job because It helps with the role, but I’m burnt and feel defeated. I gotta figure this out
Thanks 🙏 to your UA-cam channel 🔥🔥 I’m done ✅ complaining 😭 and have decided 🤸🏽♂️ to start a UA-cam channel 🎉🎉
Research suggests that continuing difficulties - long-term unemployment, living in an abusive or uncaring relationship, long-term isolation or loneliness, prolonged work stress - are more likely to cause depression than recent life stresses.👏
i agree
When you need something, either its physical or mentally needs and you didn't get that people called it disease please be brave. Like I was stuck in debt and i already talked to my family and all my relatives no one coming to help so if i die in that situation I don't think its a wrong choice
Oh look, its me.
here is the program to fight depression: take your meds, exercise daily for 40 minutes, take sunlight and vitamin d, take omega 3 supplements, you may add other supplements that fight depression, eat healthy foods that fight depression and avoid the unhealthy ones that cause it, and be patient it may take a month to see first signs of recovery, and some more to fully recover from it
I smile and laugh alot around my friends and family that often people tell me that I'm faking it to the point I'm starting to think I'm actually faking it even tho whatever depression test/vid i take/watch i always end up with a high score or noticing that i have a lot of symptoms of depression 😔💔
I am a 13 year old girl and all of these I am experiencing right now. I have no motivation or energy to help with chores, even taking showers, I have so much on my mind right now, I can't concentrate on keeping up a healthy schedule for myself, I definitely am irritable, and the way I cope is skipping meals, playing games all day, not drinking enough water. Its extremely unhealthy...but i cant help it..
I can't tell my parents, of course. because my parents would just say "its just your hormones" or "well maybe if u wouldn't be-" or some other bullshit like that. I hurt myself and they don't even know it. I've thought about stabbing my leg, arms, and cutting my arm. though I've never actually done it, I did think of it. I never thought i would scratch myself before, but I do anyways, so how long until I end up actually harming myself? every time I come home I am burdened with these responsibilities and high expectations and its making me depressed. the only friends i have live many states away from me and are my online friends, so this summer break I will be entirely alone. I see posts that my friends upload of them with their partners and that makes me even more lonely. I am constantly pushed down by my parents. I came home yesterday from a fun day with my grandma and I had so many things I wanted to tell and show my mother... but instead of showing interest she just yelled at me fore not doing enough chores and yelled at me to do more chores. I refused and started putting up the printed pictures which I had just spent money making so I would have a nice memory collage, she came upstairs to see I hadnt done anything and immediately started yelling at me saying "enough doing this bullshit" and "put this non sense away"
I was hurt.
that morning I was having a real shitty one and once I got with my grandma I was actually happy! but then right when I came back home that changed.
I want to go live with her.. I have my own room at her house.. but would I be in the wrong? I have 3 younger siblings -two of which are very capable of helping out, but they dont. so would I be wrong for walking out and leaving them with no help? its not like they appreciate my help anyways.. so would it really be that bad??
I dont know what to do anymore. I am on the brink of insanity. I literally cried myself to sleep last night because I was so lonely...and hurt...and conflicted...please leave any advice in the comments because I dont know what to do.
Hang in there. I don’t have all the answers but I know what helps me - music, art & nature. Pick up some paper and start drawing or writing. Maybe an instrument? Everything takes time so be patient with yourself. And be forgiving to yourself because deep down you are a flower waiting to blossom. I honestly think creating is a good way to uplift ones spirit and gets some things off your mind or off you heavy heart. Life is a whirlpool and constantly changing so we may go through some tough times but they will pass and usher in a new time and a new opportunity to be at peace and happy for a change. Listening to some music and movie films really helped me also because I believe they were created with a pure intention. Last thing I think that helps is getting outdoors and seeing natures wonders - a sunrise or sunset is quite magical on the right hill or bridge. It’s okay to cry, laugh, scream or be sad or happy because sometimes it’s just too much to bear and that is after all what it means to be human. Good luck on your journey!!! Be strong be love take care!!
@@christophernobody7471 Thank you so much. I am doing a little better now, Of course it's not completely better, I am sure what I'm going to do. I really appreciate what you've said to me. Stay safe
We need to have realistic expectations of others and this world. This world is full of problems and imperfections so we learn over time that we probably should not be placing all of our hopes and expectations that things will work out great here for any length of time. Yet the problem is that the messages that we receive from many others is that one can experience perfect love and happiness in this world. We see in all the advertising that other people supposedly are so happy, living such a perfect life. But we know this is not reality. If we have more realistic expectations, we can avoid many disappointments.
I was just thinking this. The way we're told to look at mental health and well being is there's a standard for everyone. This is incorrect with all the differences in our lives. For example, of course someone with a lot more money, a better job, etc is going to be happier. With realistic expectations for our individual lives, we can see where our metal state should be and what we can expect as happiness.
im a strange guy because i know i got high functioning depression, but im very good at my job and most of the time its the only thing that makes me happy. im not a workaholic, maybe i work up to 45-50 hours a week.
my workespace is most of the time very cleaned up and all my tools are in the right place.
im very perfectionistic... but not at home.
at home most of the time i don't have really energy to do more shit.
its a torture to wash clothes, getting the dishes in the washer, cleaning my apartment, sorting things...
but the hardest thing for me is to being lonely.
sometimes i wish i had a person to cuddle with or doing relationship things together... but its like im to complex for other people, or maybe i look too strange...
im very handsome, loyal and lovely.
but no one really wants to cheer up with me.
makes me even more uncomfortable
to think im so complicated that i didn't meant to be in a relationship...
the second sign.. i just felt that mostly..
1st ye i used to like beeing home all day..
2nd ye biggest problem that i hate my body and, nobody understands that
3rd idk i started meditating lucid dreaming and ap, otherwise i wouldnt say i have difficulties to focus, more like i keep pushing my plans into nex day
4th yeah i irritate a lot mostly when i am home
5th i eat same amount but i started smoking (altho i hate smoking so much) and drinking alcohol, lately i havent drink alcohol cause i dont like the effect
Important topic and nice presentation but you should be upfront and warn that to get the results of your Becks depression scale test you require ones personel information and indentification.
Me: has had an initial appointment and already accepted that they'll be going into stationary treatment as soon as a space opens up. My brain: so if it lasts 2-3 years it'll go away by itself? So everything is fine..
Holy hell, realizing just how much you are rationalizing hurts.
I really suffer with this. Sometimes I don't know how I will survive and yet as soon as people are around the mask is back up and I'm pushing through but when I'm alone it is a living hell 😢
5 out of 5 for me.
The only time I've got 100% on something! Woooooo
THIS CHANNEL S BACKKKK
Wow I've been dealing with this for 6years
And I'm very strong-willed and I keep going but every symptom you mentioned that's exactly what I've been dealing with But people Don't see it or believe it when I do tell them.
Sad to say that i felt almost all of the symtomps and i still fighting them for many years now. hoping that u can find an answer within me without informing anyone of why am i like this now and it wasn't me before. I can say that this is very hard. Imagine you are still alive but you feel like a dead 🥺
I was so uneducated on this this is why i kept invalidating my feelings
Moderately depressed spacing out at work. Working and volunteering. Not making my volunteer hours 😔. Feeling like a terrible coworker at work. Also overeating. Also fatigued and looking for affordable therapy through my insurance.
Thanks for highlighting this topic. This video really help those identifying high functioning depression for themselves, and others
When I was 16 years old I started to have high functioning depression since now I’m 28.
I have some symptoms n some physical ones too but I actually don’t rlly feel overwhelming guilt or worry I worry sometimes but mostly I just feel tired drained n blank just feel numbness
I've functional freeze depression in one year. I can't sleep even I can't move many hours I take sitting on the sofa. I can't go outside even I don't want to talk people I'm really suffering 😭😭
Hi,.. you are not alone. Suffering the same way, unable to go outside, or go anywhere. I also cannot sleep. I don't do any hobbies, activities I used to enjoy because I don't feel enjoyment anymore. I just sit... or lay down. I cry all the time, I don't want to be like this anymore,... just suffering 😭😩..
even if something makes me happy or I hear a compliment I just can't smile. Like it takes a conscious effort to make myself smile.
The thing that kills me is all I want is to move back to my home to be near family. I live on the west coast and my parents live on the east coast. I have two kids and a wife.....so I feel extreme guilt for not being able to provide a better life and make it impossible for my parents to see their grandchilden. Its just so expensive to fly. I just wanna move back east so bad. I have only seen my mom 2x in 15yrs.
That's horrible... Feeling that pressure all the time...
I am so disappointing in the world right now because me, an 11 year old girl is searching this up.
just got diagnosed this guess im in the club
I think this looks like regular life of everyone. Don’t take this signs as crucial because it could be that you don’t have any of this but live this signs every now and then
The test is broken, it only lists answers without a question. It's a complete waste of time until you fix the website.
Feels good when you have all of the symptoms🤧
I know I felt so relieved that I'm not just lazy there's actually something with me... Now I just have to talk to my parents about it. 😅
@@sarahnol5548have you reached out for any medical help?
I know I’m likely just faking it. On the other hand though, I’ve had so much trouble talking to people and being social. I’ve got lots of irritability too. I used to really like doing things, now I kinda just want to not do anything. I’m probably just lazy though.😊
"Here take this pill. Didn't work? I got another one right here for you."
"Try this psychiatrist. Oh, they moved on. Don't worry we can find another one."
Push, replace, deplete - the gauntlet of medicine.
You know it’s really bad when 4 out of 5 signs fit you, too bad I live in a shit town where one have to wait over 2 years to get to talk to some psychologist. I might as well die before they contact me, then they might start care
Damnnn...I have all 5 signs
It seems like we all checked all the boxes.
This video just feels like me in a nutshell.
Interesting question: is it possible to have more than one type?
Yeah, yeah, you should reach out for help. Of course - that is bleeding obvious !! But you have avoided the crucial issue in this : cost. It costs a lot to get treatment from a therapist.
And it is also often very difficult to get an appointment, because so many people need help.
This video makes it sound easy, but it isn't. It's not just denial on the part of the person with depression. Its largely about the systemic problems across society that work against people looking for a solution.
You are not alone
I'm always joking and laughing and making fun of everything and rarely take anything seriously, because I have treatment-resistant major depressive disorder.
Should i get checked for this if I have all of these issues and they are becoming a visual problem in my life
Very informative and easy to digest!
I don't think "mild depression" exists; only moderate and severe depression classifications exist.
I have been feeling all of these but I don't want to self diagnose
Research Microdose psilocybin helps remove depression anxiety and more basically
Magic mushrooms I feel bad for ppl who don’t kno about this but pls it does help read reviews on UA-cam tiktok every we’re also I’m in depressed so I can’t wait to get back up on my feel thank me later
I was diagnosed with schizophrenia. Some of these symptoms of high functioning depressions do exhibit at times daily despite taking risperidone, the psychiatric medicine. I prefer to cure these symptoms by going out for a walk , read a book of interest, do some healthy exercise and some other coping methods. Drug therapy usually have a lot of side effects and it's not natural. So, unless you are suffering from deeply psychic depressions I suggest is best not to take psychiatric medicine because it may leads to motoring function impairment, visual impairment, high blood pressure, constipation and other miscellaneous physiological side effects besides it's expensive seeing a psychiatrist for treatment. 🙆♂️🤧🦁🐐🦕🐚👀👨❤️👨🧑🎓🏃🏊

What about university professors who came to class they were great but then they ganged themselves suddenly?
I can function on a societal bare minimum I’m even well know in my local community for helping people whenever I can and coming such a far ways from criminal insanity that I’m “normal” however I only operate on airplane mode with general reality and experience vivid and short periods of hyper realism and tbh I’m deemed high functioning and for that a lot of my issues get ignored. I’ve had a date time and exact place/ method
To kill myself in December on the 27th but I’m told I’m just being manic and to keep going to work and take my meds
I guess we all have one of these symptoms.
Look at me The Millionaire that goes to Therapists!
I have all 5 from like2-3 years
I feel like everything is getting too much and I just can’t do it
this is why no one cares about my situation because for them I look physically fine every time and I am just too dramatic/emotional
Exercise is super health and its the way of life. So dont say its unhealthy please
🥁🥁🥁How many people have developed these symptoms during the quarantine this year ???😅😅😅😅
Very informative video, but i choose not to do anything about it. In my eyes high functioning depression, is a thousand times better than severe depression. I'm lucky to get out of that state of mind a few years back. The more I watch this type of videos, the bigger the chance I will relapse. Life is too short to be hung up on one thing for too long.
Getting help only works if your rich or lucky. For example when i sought help at 20 the place just made a quick asemebt of adhd and depression giving me meds that actualy work badly together cuasing anxiety and stress. They than never called to make an appoibtment and every time i called they said they were working on it. Second attept was in college i was given pills and once a month road a bus for an hour there and another hour back just so someone could ask how im feeling. Id say alright culd be better and they would just give me more pills and send me home.
I could never be accused of excessive exercise 😂
I show all these signs 😓
My brother is diagnosed with High functioning depression, all of my family struggle mentally in some way. I decided to watch this video and unfortunately I check all the boxes.. But my therapist doesn't believe me I'm depressed maybe because I have highs and lows and she saw me at my lowest and nothing is ever as bad as it was..
