Whenever my state is terrible and I have to hang out around people, I just automatically become the most cheerful person ever. I don't even control it. I just smile. :) Edit: No I’m not an extrovert, to the people who think I am
I’m so tired of being tired. Tired of feeling nothing and everything at the same time. If reincarnation is a thing just leave me dead. Definitely don’t want to do this whole life thing again
Finna use that on the next door knocking religious person who says ‘but don’t you wanna live in heaven not hell?’ “Lol no thanks to either, I’ve seen enough life for a lifetime”
Me too, I'm always tired. It doesn't matter if I sleep well or not. I give up with it, it gets too much. I just feel like dieing is the easiest option for me.
@@ella_lola I definitely feel that, like thinking about feeling like this all the time for the next 60ish years....😓😓 some days are better than others like today was cool but then I’m always like “is tomorrow gonna be okay too orrrr should I just prepare for disappointment now?” 😔
I know this isn’t a diagnosis, but the more i look into depression, the more I relate and the more I feel that I dont need a professional diagnosis, although I know its not true. To anyone having a bad day, week, month, year, etc., I hope your life turns around and makes it so you feel happier.
Ngl, for me it's easy to tell when smd else is indeed depressed but for myself I just say "I'm having a depressive episode" and that is it... Although sometimes I have too many depressive episodes. But there are reasons for them, which, also, is a sign that I need professional help, haha... U get the idea tho...
I totally agree, we have to be benevolent with all. Depression or other mental health issues can't be seen on our faces. I prefer people doesn't talk to me than they says negative things.
100% AGREE! even on the internet, I often see someone saying offencive stuff, to people they don't even know in real life, like, maybe the guy is dealing with much $h!+ in his life, and goes on the internet to distract a bit, but only gets more problems there, I think everyone has to be a bit nicer :)
Am i the only one who keeps saying to myself "its nothing,your just being Dramatic,nothing's wrong"? Edit 4 months later: i swear I'm happy now....I'm really having a happy life,doing stuffs I wanna do without caring others opinion.....have a good ya'll💕✨
Nope, I do it a lot. Just try to acknowledge when you're thinking that and stop yourself. Even if you maybe are being dramatic, it's the way you feel and nothing can change that. Your mind is different from everyone else's, and that's okay.
I do too even when I see when people really hurt me I am saying to mahself *Stop only complain. There are people which r in worse situation, stop be one stupid crybaby."- :')
@@sawfie9327 Crying has been scientifically proven to help you sort through negative emotions. Anyone who doesn't allow you to cry shouldn't be the ones you care for, at least until they accept that people have feelings and people are meant to express them to trusted ones.
@@hugnboba True, I’ve seen many a person go under and get only worse after being diagnosed or self-diagnosing themselves. Sometimes if it’s a person thats teetering on the edge of depressed and it’s not life-threatening I don’t know if it’s better to know or to not know, because if you didn’t know theres still a chance you’re not. And maybe that’s all it takes to keep one on the edge, after all we’re talking about mental health. Keyword mental.
What I'm getting is that whenever you're in the company of the people you love and doing fun things you feel genuine happiness but then can't stand it to be alone. If that is the case you need to work on getting to love yourself and getting to enjoy YOUR OWN company. At the end of the day you are the person you're with at all times and you cant rely on the company of others all the time to feel genuine happiness. You deserve happiness when you're by yourself too and the feeling of dissatisfaction of being on your lonesome can lead to serious problems such as drug or alcohol abuse as a way to cope with your own company and as a way to escape, depression, self harm, eating disorders, etc. Please take time to know yourself and think about the things YOU wanna do and the things you would enjoy doing alone. If I was to guess maybe you come home, stay in bed, watch youtube videos, a movie, binge watch a show, stay up late, get unhealthy hours of sleep, etc. If that is the case then this way of living is way more unhealthy than you might think and could be a big factor why you're not comfortable being alone because when you live like this you're not actually taking the time to make yourself happy or creating happy/fun memories you can look back on. If you think being by yourself is seriously damaging your mental health and you cant stand the idea of being alone then i SERIOUSLY hope you take my advice and not just read it and think "thats a good idea" but actually follow it. 1 - keep an active and healthy schedule (maybe writing it down on a notebook can help serving you as a guide) and try following it as much as possible and be more mindful about your sleep schedule, I would say going to sleep around midnight and waking up around 9 am (maybe set a reminder on your phone to tell you to go to sleep at midnight) 2 - take time to do things you enjoy that will get you out of bed and keep you from binge watching shows. For me personally would be working on an art piece, going for walks while listening to music, meditating and going to the beach. Other options could be doing a sport, practicing self care, writing music, playing an instrument or even doing something you've always wanted to try, take time to know yourself and what you enjoy 3 - take 1-2 hours 2 or 3 days in a week to do some chores, clean the house - this will make you feel accomplished and that your time went into something productive and having a clean and tidy home can improve and boost mental health 4 - keep a schedule for when its time to study and focus on school work or on your job (maybe 3-4 hours a day) and make sure you follow this as much as you can because doing well in school/college is a huge mental health booster and if you study regularly you gain momentum and feel like you're actually learning and enjoying the process. In the beginning it may be tough but you'll see once you get the groove you'll feel better with yourself and not feel like being alone is a waste of time. Now I'm not saying you can't have days where all you do is just lay in bed and binge watch your favorite show, in fact quite the opposite, there should be days where all you need is to relax and not do anything BUT THOSE DAYS SHOULD BE the exception. If you do this you will look back and and feel good about yourself, you will have good memories of yourself on your own and you'll feel like you've accomplished something
i know it was quite a long answer but i do wish you go through it because i spent 2 years of my life where i was very unhappy being on my own even though i felt happy with others. That lead me to heavy alcohol consumption as a way to escape instead of actually facing my problems so i know the seriousness of the situation and where it can lead to. Fortunately those days are over and I can say im much better with myself and now not only can i enjoy company of others but my own too and thats how i did it. its a dark path to go through and a lonely path for that matter that many dont get out of. I hope i was able to help and offer some insight and if you feel like the situation you're in is alarming or feel like its only getting worse then i strongly encourage you to seek professional help.
same im normal when im with other people but as soon as im alone it gets terrible. at times like those i feel like i dont want to see anyone ever again but when i do, everything suddenly seems okay again
1. You always feel tired 2. You are easily irritated & angered 3. You have a hard time with emotions 4. You don’t eat much or you eat too much 5. Others don’t think you look like a “depressed person” 6. You find it hard to put a smile on your face, but you still do If you’re reading this: know that things WILL fall into place soon, you deserve it 🤞🏼
I read it he end so many times yet read it as - “if you’re reading this: know that things will fall into peace’s soon, you deserve it” I WAS PUZZLED 😭😭
I don't really know if I should go test myself, because while I feel bad often, it's NOT all the time. Not even numbness, since I can still laugh at something I saw or read.
@@olaa6161 me too, or eu tbm, e eu tenho medo de ir fazer o teste e descobrir q é apenas eu sendo reclamão e um aborrecente chato. (I forgot to ask if you are a Brazilian like me lol but i already wrote that up and i'm not in a mood to write that again)
The sad thing is there are so much people faking it, so when someone is actually depressed but is just venting we think they are faking it too. What I'm saying we can't tell anymore if they are faking it or not so we just assume they are... Edit: I really didn't want to put this down but this is not a vent section. I know most of you are having a hard time in life, so maybe talk to a trusted person but not here because it's making me uncomfortable. Thank you!
absolutely. and this is also really hurtful because many people (like myself) may be experiencing lots of these symptoms and may ACTUALLY BE depressed but because they don't display obvious common symptoms people will think they're just saying they might have it for attention or that it's simply fake. that's why im so reluctant to go to anyone about it, i feel like im faking it even though i know i experience things when im alone and wouldn't get any attention for it (therefore not faking it at all)
If people are faking it, there's probably a significant psychological reason why. And attention-seeking can be a way situational depression manifests - the person is in a bad relationship or position and feels a need for attention to cope. So even if the depressive symptoms are faked, there is probably another issue at the root of it
Hi there I haven't been doing good at the age of 11 and haven't sleep for few day, I didn't know where did all of this happen, it's just came to me and stuff, I'm very tired whenever I'm not doing anything, I have been trying to commit suicide and I usually get tired over small thing for example writing only 100 word, I do not know if I got anxiety, desperate, or ahdh, mostly I think just anxiety, I want to end it, can anyone give tip? I would appreciate it!
To be honest, I can’t talk to my problems with anyone, because my friends are suffering too. I always think I have no right to get any help or attention from any of my friends because it makes me think that Im selfish. I always see myself as a role ( for ex. “Best friend” “a person who will always be there for anyone) and not who I am. This video somehow made me feel light and glad, I can’t really describe how, but Im glad this video came up in my recommendation
The place you're at is undeniably difficult. It's way harder for suffering people to heal each other than it is for healthy people to heal suffering ones.
I also agree. It took me so long to trust someone and talk to them, I still haven’t said everything on my mind but I finally convinced myself that my problems are worth sharing and that if I talk, then they might too. (which was an added incentive because I’m a listener and I love helping people deal with their problems (seeing them from sad to happy is the best))
I know I should probably go to therapy, but it’s difficult to think that I’d need to open up to someone. Edit: I feel like at this point I have a responsibility to say something. I plan on going to therapy, I know it will take time, but I will always advocate for people get help when they need it. Strangely it’s easier for us to forget our mental wounds because they aren’t so apparent, unlike a broken leg/arm. Even, like I said I know I probably should go to therapy, I’m just preparing myself for the process itself. Also, if you don’t like the professional, it’s okay to leave them (easier said then done 😅). Just remember, just like any physical wound, if mental health is left untreated it can and will get worse, stay true to who are while gaining the courage to better yourself. If you forgot what “happy” feels like, it’ll be cool if you stick around until you experience it again 😊
@@idreamindarknessandsleepto1475 eh, that’s what you think but really you will never know if it’s right or not, you can make your choice. Sometimes wasting time To a person you can trust is worth it man.
The more I look into depression the more I find out that I'm relating to it all. I haven't been diagnosed because I am not telling my parents how I feel. They're a big part of the reason to why I feel like this and they'd just think I'm being extra. I've been feeling like this for over a year. It's currently got worse. What doesn't help is that there's nowhere for me to go so I can get a break from my family.
Wow I can relate to everything you just said. I also have a lot of signs/symptoms of depression and I want to try tell someone or an trusted adult/parents about this so I can maybe see someone about it but since I am still young my parents think I am being dramatic :(. I do hope you feel better in the future and hopefully someone will come around and help you through this!
(excuse my rambling but i need this) Get a break from family,,, ooohhh hit too close to home. I feel exhausted since pandemic start, it's just stress non-stop. I want to get out and have fun with friends. I know family is important and I love them truly but please they can be too much hhuuuuh.. i did have fun with them too. (I STILL CAN'T GET OVER MY PARENTS DOESN'T LET ME HANGOUT WITH FRIENDS ERGH) I just want to meet all my friends outside from school, work and all stressing stuff. I wanna talk face to face not typing, it doesn't feel enough because I would avoid it as much as I can (because it's awkward TrT). I only text for hw that's it, usually meet them to ask how their day at school. BRUHH everything I said just make me sound selfish. I feel like I'm on my breaking point. One day I'm going to have a mental breakdowns damnit hopefully not so soon.
JESUS CHRIST SAME!!! I mean I trust my family but I still find it hard to open up bc I don't want to worry them. I trust my BFF and I know I can talk to her but I still don't feel like I want to pour out all my problems to her, even though I know she'll support me idk, it doesn't feel right. And I am scared at the idea of going to a therapist.
When I was a child, I told my mom I was sad & she asked if I had bills to pay, a house to maintain or kids to take care of? It took me decades to finally find someone I COULD confide in. We leaned on each other. She died 2 yrs ago & took a big part of me with her. So with ALL this talk about not stigmatizing depression or other mental illnesses, I reached out to people because I am drowning & I've been ridiculed and ignored. Seems you have to be famous to get any help & sympathy
@Li Opei you're never too young for therapy. My manager has his 7 year old in therapy because he knows there are areas he may fail in, like noticing symptoms of a mental health crisis. He talks with her regularly, but knows that some things are easier to share with an unrelated party.
I just felt like, "If _I_ don't even know what I'm feeling or why, why should I talk to others about it? They won't know either and after some time I'll figure everything out myself." apparently, thats not the right way to go at it :/ (FOR THE REPLIES: If I mean talking about, I mostly mean ventig (consensually) and rambling. i can't take advice and most people don't even know what to say, but giving your thoughts more room makes more place for calmness. again, like a diary or basically any other way of communicating. you could even write down your thoughts and burn them, or scream into a pillow until your throat hurts. as long as you/i feel like someone, or even something, knows about it, it helps. at least for me)
@@NightZoneDE alright, I guess. But I'm going to see a therapist (hopefully) so that'll help me - probably. thanks for asking i've never been asked how i feel (at least not in that way :))
@@SoftyDemon im actually feeling really good!! although talking to/breaking down in front of my parents didn't really work out and never got me to therapy, I managed to talk to my best friend and the only person I fully trust. He helped me through a lot (probably because he'd been there too) and was my figurative shoulder to lean on. And I did figure some stuff out, like my gender identity, which took some of the stress off of me. there's still some stuff bugging me, and i can't even put my finger on what it is, but (at least partially) confiding in another person really helped me, so this is what i would advise others. Alternatively, also having a diary if you can't talk about it. it helps keeping your head clear and documents your progress.
Sometimes I just put on a fake smile and pretend everything is fine so people won’t get worried but I am really depressed and thinking about leaving everything
@@greatwavefan397 I don’t I have nothing else to do all day so I just stare into my phone all day waiting for something that I enjoy to come up, I’ve been doing this for 5 years and I still don’t know what I want to do with my life
I don't think I'm depressed, but when I summed up my "symptoms" and things I struggle with, my homeroom teacher asked me: "could there be a possibility youre depressed?" I still don't think that's the case, I know some people that are depressed and the way I feel doesn't really compare. But at the same time, they say comparing your pain and struggles to that of others isn't a good way to "measure". My teacher told me they don't know how to help me, and that it might be a good idea to talk to a professional. I'm quite nervous to ask my parents, since I've tried before. This basically ended in them not really understanding why I can't just push myself to get things done and get a good day-to-day schedule. I can't tell them why because I don't even know myself. It's like I'm tied down and see something crumble and fall in front of me: I want to support it and make sure it doesn't fall, but I can't. It's really frustrating, since I can perfectly tell when and how it goes wrong and what I should do to fix it.
I'll have to take my public exam two years later. How much I have to do daily (during school days) is already too much for me even though the exam is not even close. Tons of quizzes and homework every week, teachers not teaching properly, and having no time to do what I like have been stressing me. Thank god for the pandemic now only half day school is allowed or else I wouldn't be able to take a rest.

“I’m not depressed” is what I keep telling myself yet here I am idk if I am or not I just like to convince myself that it’s a bad day or week it’s not a constant feeling so I don’t really think of myself as a depressed person idk 🤷🏻♀️

@@Sophisticatedesire oh, you are 11? we are close in age then, im 13. and i honestly feel you. at 11 i was like that. i think you should try getting more sleep, take good care of yourself, and try figuring out what makes you happy. im not a professional, these are just some things that helped me out a bit.
@@Sophisticatedesire I feel really bad for you because I can relate but remember your better then me I’m only 9 and it’s happening I’m not saying mines more important than you it’s just that you better then my mental health.
One commonly overlooked thing is overeating because eating is the only thing that brings you pleasure like they said in the video. I didn’t realize I was doing this because others just called my lazy and not working out enough. If you’re doing this too, please see a therapist or a doctor to see if they can help you out.
I talked with someone with depression and actually made them a bit better by letting them open up and just plain out talking and conforting him so people what you learned today is be pacient with people that are depressed and let them open up.
Same for me, except I can't think of how to treat my depression for good. (And not religiously or with toxic positivity because they just teach you to lie to yourself and stigmatize your personal needs.)
finally someone who understands😂all these 10-15 years olds thinking they depressed like there life depends on it😂😂no depressed person would just be like “im depressed and dont eat” on social media they usually hide it or talk to only 1 person about there problems. usually someone they have know most of their life

I'm more introverted and don't enjoy being around strangers but I don't like being by myself either because then I feel tired, lonely (not as in people around me but as in like I'm the only person in the world), I cry over the tiniest things and my intrusive thoughts get even louder. However, when I'm with my friends I'm the happiest I can be and I feel content with myself and the world.
I replied to a previous comment who is going through a similar situation as you and i wish to offer you the same insight and help i gave to them. Basically the comment said that there are moments where they feel legitimate happiness but when they're alone they cant bare the idea of being alone and all the sadness comes back again. so here it goes, it was a long reply but i hope you can take the time to read it and hopefully retain something from it

Do any of you ever get tired of being so insecure and just want to turn into some kind of no nonsense soldier and/or leave society? I seriously wish I could become a hermit in the country.
i kinda do? sometimes i just feel like i dont belong on earth altogether. like this lifestyle is too... plain and repetitive for me. i honestly just wanna wake up in a fantasy world one day and have adventures all the time. but sadly thats not the real world we live in..
I fit all of these describtions; and i do always feel broken, just like a part of me is missing. Empty and restless, without a goal. Besides i do drink much to much.
The only way for me to feel happier, is to be out in parks, where's there's trees, grass, leaves, a lot of leaves, and a lot of sticks, but being with ppl, ruins it😕
I don't have the energy to wake up every morning, existing feels exhausting. I don't talk because it's a lot of work and I always feel this pain in my heart 😳 sounds cringy maybe but I actually feel that
You might actually want to get that checked out... Physical pain/pressure in your chest might not be psychological. I don't want to sound "alarmist" or anything, but something actually wrong with your heart could mean your blood isn't circulating efficiently... AND that leads to you NOT getting enough oxygen around your body and to your brain... AND oxygen deprivation often presents as "fatigue" along with disorientation, general clumsiness, and difficulty in thinking clearly. Obviously, it doesn't HAVE to be a physical problem... BUT before we waste a whole lot of time pushing the "mental health" as the root of all problems, you might want to check and just make sure you're physically alright. ;o)
Talking is work. I can relate. Opening up is so much harder than most people think. I have no energy either. I sleep and sleep but nope, no motivation. Just UA-cam
@Li Opei yess. I am infatuated with a woman and she's double my age and married. so yeah, I must just move on but whenever she talks about other men I get so jealous. i get that pain near the chest whenever that happens. might sound cringy but yeah that's how it feels like.
I think that you point out all these things or signs which proves that the person is dealing with the mentioned trouble which itself is the healing process which further helps a person PROUD OF YOU PEOPLE YOU DESERVE A LOT MORE THAN THIS
So relatable. All i did while watching this video is to nod in agreement. I am so emotionally overwhelmed and i cant even explain to myself why i feel that way.
"you don't look depressed" people say i look depressed fairly often, even though i'm not(actually idk, never spoke to a mental health professional so i'm not sure, i do identify with some symtoms but i don't want to diagnose myself) .

All this is me. I wanted to see my GP today to get a referral to see a psychiatrist, but unfortunately, my day got a little busy :( I really, really need help. I can't take this anymore.

I’m not really someone who shows their feelings so I always let them build up to the point we’re I snap but I just surroud myself with things I love and I start to feel ok again
I just feel like if I tell my friends about it and get used to them being someone I can talk to whenever suicide comes to mind, they'll eventually get sick with me. I love them so much that I will rather just go with my own coping mechanism, which is imagining that I am talking to them/a therapist about it, just so I can keep them by my side.
@@idreamindarknessandsleepto1475 being socially awkward and being an introvert are two very different things. You're socially awkward, not introverted.
this video made me cry. I thought I was free from feeling too much, or not feeling at all. It's been years, and it's back. I guess this confirmed everything, and gave a slap in my face. It felt like my brain was pleading "please, get some help" and I should listen to it.
There are online therapy services that you can access on apps or websites. And although you might not feel comfortable talking to someone online, they're still certified therapists. So, if there aren't any physical in-person therapists near your home, try looking up the online therapy service!
I really want to talk to my friends or family about how I feel, but I know they are going through somthing too, and I don't want to be a burden. I don't want them to think I am weak and not approach me when they actually need someone to talk to.
I never thought I was depressed growing up.. I equated it with "being a realist" and that no one could be genuinely happy if they saw the world for what it was. While I believe that that's a contributing factor, I still have to accept that my brain does not produce the proper chemicals. It's a weird feeling when you're 10 and you think everyone is lying about being able to feel joy just because you can't. I'm almost 30 now and luckily I have garnered the tools to be able to live my life with depression, albeit difficult at times.

Don’t fight with your thoughts. Slowly the mind will relax. No deep breathing needed. Anytime of the day or night before sleep sit or lie down on your back and observe your breath. Stillness brings internal peace. Like me, make this a lifetime daily habit to have a good life. Best wishes Shyaaam Sir. -Counsellor.
this is so accurate to me and im scared my parents will say that i am overthinking / i dont look depressed and sad / they may say " im just dramatic " and i dont dare to speak out about my emotions and conditions so i keep it to myself ( for a few years and im still doing it ) , im also scared if anyone will say im seeking for attention as well im glad that i found this and self-prescribed / predicted that im subconsciously depressed , thankyou

I hate that people put so much emphasis on talking to others about things. I’ve been dealing with shit for so many years and still am, yet I’ve never talked to anyone about it and gradually I got used to it and got better all by myself. Every time I hear something like “you should talk to someone about it,” it just gets on my nerves and makes me question myself, like “am I really fine now?” And I know many others also don’t have anyone to talk to about things and telling us to talk to someone about it just makes us feel worse. So if you’re one of those people, know that although talking to someone about things can help you, it doesn’t mean you can’t get better without it.
I suffer from depression and this video is very interesting. I used to feel constantly exhausted and irritated by my mom, I'd often keep everyone away and I do have moments when my emotions seem to shut down entirely. This video was super informative and psych2go should get a podcast channel, that way you can have people listen to your facts and help tips no matter what!
100% this video is me, the only 3 things that truly relieve this feeling is watching movies with my family, making sad videos about normally cheerful characters/wrighting terrible backgrounds for them, and talking to the true person I could trust with anything... he is the only close friend of mine I don't constantly question myself if we're still friends or not
Try some shroom, Shrooms, you see, are not just a bit of psychedelic fun, they can actually cure depression, anxiety, PTSD, and mental health issues in general are notoriously hard to treat, so why not try psychedelics and see if they worked?...they can help you If you don't mind,you can link up with my plug myco_logan1 on Instagram about how shrooms works on depression and anxiety..
I feel better when i talk to myself, have many imaginary friends that care about me, i have had people (real people) that ive talked to about my problems, but it just seemed like they didnt care.. so i dont talk about my problems much (only talk about a few problems to my mother but nobody else)
I do the same thing, I have a lot of made up characters that have helped me and I talk to myself instead of other people a lot. It’s not a bad coping mechanism, though I hope someday you will find a real person who really wants to hear what you have to say. Stay strong love, do whatever you need to help yourself feel better :)
This is so accurate, when I was depressed I used to constantly tell myself that I wasn’t and I always kept myself from the subject this video helps a lot 😌
***TURNED INTO A PERSONAL VENT, REALLY SORRY, TRIED NOT TO BE OVERLY EXPLICIT OFC, JUST MENTIONS OF VARIOUS STUFF, IT'S MOSTLY FOR ME ANYWAY*** I hate how ironic and bizzare it feels. It's like PPL perceive me as this embodiment of calmness and the least confrontational and problematic person (and I am, to them), but inside I feel like I can't go back to healthily directing my anger and sadness anymore bc I used to be so open and then started repressing it. So I get very hot headed and explode. Or sometimes precisely bc I don't confront and instead ignore the problem or avoid/distance myself from others I get rly scary and violent obsessive thoughts bc of my intense emotions having no escape. I will be the first to help but when I try to seek help it just never goes how I promise myself it will, I either downplay it or notice someone isn't taking it seriously OR doesn't know how to react and help (which isn't anyone's fault either ofc). I thought things would be different when now I am meant to be under care of professionals but it all feels so formal and awkward and I need to warm up to it but I'm never sure how bc there's to much raw emotion that I haven't shown to anyone except for my family in so long. My friends try but it can only go so far like i previously mentioned. My family tried to support me too but my mum has a mental illness/disorder and my dad has a genetic sickness. I try to shield my brother but it impacts us. It feels rly strange bc I feel like the only one "stable" enough in the family but the weight of dealing with it all and keeping it in check constantly impacts my health a lot and if I can only do so much myself then what about my brother. My mum realised that but causes us unintentional emotional harm and stress even whe she tried and help to look for a professional to help him as well. I didn't think things would be easier when I got older and older but feelings helpless while it all falls apart in front of me feels so heartbreaking. My emotions either get so repressed to the point of emptiness or so intense I keep causing myself unintentional harm my hurting myself out of anger (not like cut@@ng or anything, just when other methods of controlling my anger don't work, I hurt myself to not hurt other ppl out of necessity/automatically. Or I back myself up unit a corner with obsessive thoughts which seem satisfying but they get scarier and scarier to the point where I scare myself and I feel like I definitely shouldn't feel this way about smth. Or keep having panic attacks and rage eruptions. It feels like most my sadness has been turned into anger and dismissiveness at this point. I just feel so exhausted I can't bring myself to care that much about my problems but I'm literally stuck with them and have to battle them every day. I never felt sui***al per se, bc I just don't think it'd bring me personally satisfaction or free me or anything-it'd still feel like a wasted opportunity cuz I had so many dreams and plans for life, to exhaust it till I naturally decay. I don't think it'd give me the type of peace I yearn for bc who knows what'd happen after death but if I can't feel that peace, is it rly peace at all? Sure some ppl rather that than pain and I get that but leaving things so unresolved in my life would not put me to rest either. I never seriously considered it, more like thought about it a lot and maybe how it'd play out or what the cause of it would be. I always remind myself it isn't the worst ppl have but downplaying it feels rly hurtful too like a jab in the heart especially if it comes from someone rly close to me.
The more I look into depression the more I realize this is true for me. I feel tired all the time, I hate expressing my feelings and I feel angered all the time, I barely eat anything or I eat way to much. I’m also a Virgo so I’m good at hiding my feelings, so nobody thinks I’m depressed unless I’ve told someone really close to me. I haven’t even told my family or any counselor or therapist. I’m just a kid... and life is really hard sometimes trying to seem happy all the time.
this is literally me. Like my parents can’t tell because I never get mad or sad or anything, but then I wake up crying but I can’t tell what I’m feeling. I’m tired all the time, whether I got 5 or 9 hours of sleep, my eating patterns are all off and I’ve had to see like 5 doctors, my parents don’t know why I don’t care about anything whether i get punished or not, and I don’t know how to explain. My friends all think I’m kidding since I joke about it while forcing a laugh because it makes it feel less real, I think that’s why I kept telling myself I was being dramatic. And I just like being alone tbh. So, I feel you.
Never in my life have i experienced that fresh thingy that is shown in movies right after you wake up. Im always tried in a way that yes i can do stuff but i don't want to and my energy is the same even if i sleep too much or too less. But if i try to fall asleep because i feel tired, it's just me laying down as sleep just doesn't come to me. Its hard to fall asleep at night as well though. I don't think its because of depression, i just think my body is like that as its not that I don't have will to get out if bed of get things done. I just don't wanna get out of bed as though its the most uncomfortable shit while trying to sleep at night, its comfortable for some reason when i have to get up and i just don't wanna get up. But once i finally do and do morning stuff like brush etc, i feel normal. So yeah idk why i would feel that way though.
I really thought that all these days, I wasn't really depressed, I could feel sadness and anxiety within me but because I could still express happiness and talk with others I felt like "it's fine". Well today I came to know about this and my questions were answered. I often feel really bad but have no one to share it with, I often told it to my parents and they really didn't mind. These videos really help me a lot, I'll try to come out of this stage and keep on with my studies. Seriously, my favorite UA-cam channel.
that's exactly how i feel. im constantly going through so much on my own but when i start to get the idea to tell someone my brain goes "you're faking it. you're doing this all for attention" even though i know full well i experience these things alone in my room where i could never get attention for it smh.
I know i'm depressed, and i feel like all these years knowing it are just passing away really fast. Things that i remember like they literally happened yesterday, are things that happened months before, and that scares me. I always have bad nightmares and i wake up with fear. My only emotional support are my dog and my friends, i don't tell them never how i am or what i been doing, i love hearing theur thoughs and that makes me feel good cause if i talk, i feel like i'm making them sad or i'm annoying them. I wanted to write what i feel now, my english is not good and if someone readed this, thanks.
Who relates to reason 2, like when your parents ordered you to do something and said you'd handle it but when they say it again, you get irritated or angry?
id be like "oh i wanna study today" and then my mom comes and its like "you have to start studying soon" and then i lose the motivation to study. and i laze around for the rest of the day.
this was VERY VERY apparent last year during online school when i was experiencing burnout. it was very hard for me to keep doing what i should be doing everyday. i feel like all of this applies to me, but about the smile thing, smiling is a reflex of mine. i smile when i’m nervous, when i’m embarrassed, and if someone says something it stares at me, i turn away and smile. it’s not something i do on my own, it’s reflexive, which is why others wouldn’t know i could possibly have depression.
Me: *sees that I have signs of depression* No no no. I do not have depression Me and the person onscreen: *yawns at the same time* Me: NONONONONO I AM NOT DEPRESSED
@@ju999X I understand how u feel but its always better to consult someone..help is out there, its just gonna take a Lil effort to reach it, hang in there and hope u have a nice rest of ur day
Thank you for this video I do relate to all 6 of these and I’m actually going to my first therapy session in a week idk I felt like telling you since I always come to your videos for fun and for comfort if that makes sense :))
What should one do when they come forward in expressing their inner thoughts and most people are either ignoring it or they get scolded because they don't actually believe that they have any signs of depression which makes the person more depressed thinking that is it possible that they are just faking it and they don't know it, as majority of the people don't actually believe they have a problem????
I was told that it’s normal to feel like this because of the pandemic and that I’m not depressed and that it will go away after the pandemic. It’s normal right? Also I was also told that if I feel like this for a short amount of time it’s sadness that everyone feels every once in a while but what is considered a short amount of time?
When you’re sad, it comes and goes. You’ll feel sad for a little bit, but you’ll eventually be fine in a few days or a week. Depression rates have gone up with the pandemic, so that part is true. But it’s still depression. If you’re young and going through puberty then these signs could also be confused for depression, it’s a finicky thing.
It is completely natural to be depressed every once in a while. I am dubbed the "happiest person in my grade", but even I still get depressed in certain areas of my life at some point in time! Pandemic depression was extremely real for me, but I believe God puts everything in your life for a reason. During the pandemic, I began to become EXTREMELY in love with singing. I always knew I wanted to be a singer, but the pandemic depression helped follow something I love to do to make me feel better!! Maybe something like this has happened to you, even though you aren't aware of it yet! If you feel an overwhelming amount of depression/sadness, you may want to; 1. Check ur medications. While I was on a superrrr strong face medication, I became a bit depressed. I started to take a lesser dose, and it went away!! 2. Talk to family/ a bff to get over your depression by explaining it/ asking for help. 3. THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT: Even if you do not consider urself christian, please start to pray!! God is in control through all things! Praying will help you not be depressed, bc you give all of you heavy load to the Lord! Please ask if u hv any questions

Ngl, for me it's easy to tell when smd else is indeed depressed but for myself I just say "I'm having a depressive episode" and that is it... Although sometimes I have too many depressive episodes.

Nope, I do it a lot. Just try to acknowledge when you're thinking that and stop yourself. Even if you maybe are being dramatic, it's the way you feel and nothing can change that. Your mind is different from everyone else's, and that's okay.

Well you can't really diagnose yourself based on some youtube video
@@hugnboba yeah but what mentally stable person is watching this video
@@hugnboba True, I’ve seen many a person go under and get only worse after being diagnosed or self-diagnosing themselves. Sometimes if it’s a person thats teetering on the edge of depressed and it’s not life-threatening I don’t know if it’s better to know or to not know, because if you didn’t know theres still a chance you’re not. And maybe that’s all it takes to keep one on the edge, after all we’re talking about mental health. Keyword mental.
@Mr Guy you sure about that🤨
There are moments where I forget, and feel legitimately happy, but at those moments I don’t feel pain, as soon as I’m left alone again it comes back.
What I'm getting is that whenever you're in the company of the people you love and doing fun things you feel genuine happiness but then can't stand it to be alone. If that is the case you need to work on getting to love yourself and getting to enjoy YOUR OWN company. At the end of the day you are the person you're with at all times and you cant rely on the company of others all the time to feel genuine happiness. You deserve happiness when you're by yourself too and the feeling of dissatisfaction of being on your lonesome can lead to serious problems such as drug or alcohol abuse as a way to cope with your own company and as a way to escape, depression, self harm, eating disorders, etc. Please take time to know yourself and think about the things YOU wanna do and the things you would enjoy doing alone. If I was to guess maybe you come home, stay in bed, watch youtube videos, a movie, binge watch a show, stay up late, get unhealthy hours of sleep, etc. If that is the case then this way of living is way more unhealthy than you might think and could be a big factor why you're not comfortable being alone because when you live like this you're not actually taking the time to make yourself happy or creating happy/fun memories you can look back on. If you think being by yourself is seriously damaging your mental health and you cant stand the idea of being alone then i SERIOUSLY hope you take my advice and not just read it and think "thats a good idea" but actually follow it.
1 - keep an active and healthy schedule (maybe writing it down on a notebook can help serving you as a guide) and try following it as much as possible and be more mindful about your sleep schedule, I would say going to sleep around midnight and waking up around 9 am (maybe set a reminder on your phone to tell you to go to sleep at midnight)
2 - take time to do things you enjoy that will get you out of bed and keep you from binge watching shows. For me personally would be working on an art piece, going for walks while listening to music, meditating and going to the beach. Other options could be doing a sport, practicing self care, writing music, playing an instrument or even doing something you've always wanted to try, take time to know yourself and what you enjoy
3 - take 1-2 hours 2 or 3 days in a week to do some chores, clean the house - this will make you feel accomplished and that your time went into something productive and having a clean and tidy home can improve and boost mental health
4 - keep a schedule for when its time to study and focus on school work or on your job (maybe 3-4 hours a day) and make sure you follow this as much as you can because doing well in school/college is a huge mental health booster and if you study regularly you gain momentum and feel like you're actually learning and enjoying the process.
In the beginning it may be tough but you'll see once you get the groove you'll feel better with yourself and not feel like being alone is a waste of time. Now I'm not saying you can't have days where all you do is just lay in bed and binge watch your favorite show, in fact quite the opposite, there should be days where all you need is to relax and not do anything BUT THOSE DAYS SHOULD BE the exception. If you do this you will look back and and feel good about yourself, you will have good memories of yourself on your own and you'll feel like you've accomplished something
i know it was quite a long answer but i do wish you go through it because i spent 2 years of my life where i was very unhappy being on my own even though i felt happy with others. That lead me to heavy alcohol consumption as a way to escape instead of actually facing my problems so i know the seriousness of the situation and where it can lead to. Fortunately those days are over and I can say im much better with myself and now not only can i enjoy company of others but my own too and thats how i did it. its a dark path to go through and a lonely path for that matter that many dont get out of. I hope i was able to help and offer some insight and if you feel like the situation you're in is alarming or feel like its only getting worse then i strongly encourage you to seek professional help.

Depression can be surprisingly difficult to recognize in ourselves.
Yes, because we are often in denial.. do you think so?
No its not hard for me to recognize it when I hate life and everyone and everything in it.
Maybe.

The sad thing is there are so much people faking it, so when someone is actually depressed but is just venting we think they are faking it too. What I'm saying we can't tell anymore if they are faking it or not so we just assume they are...
Edit: I really didn't want to put this down but this is not a vent section. I know most of you are having a hard time in life, so maybe talk to a trusted person but not here because it's making me uncomfortable. Thank you!
absolutely. and this is also really hurtful because many people (like myself) may be experiencing lots of these symptoms and may ACTUALLY BE depressed but because they don't display obvious common symptoms people will think they're just saying they might have it for attention or that it's simply fake. that's why im so reluctant to go to anyone about it, i feel like im faking it even though i know i experience things when im alone and wouldn't get any attention for it (therefore not faking it at all)
Ok, maybe thats a us thing, but over here, there's none of that. I havent met a single person who was "faking it for attention" or whatever else.
@@IHateNumbersOnNames ive seen so many, especially those gacha kids (my pfp is for satire dont mind it lmao)
If people are faking it, there's probably a significant psychological reason why. And attention-seeking can be a way situational depression manifests - the person is in a bad relationship or position and feels a need for attention to cope. So even if the depressive symptoms are faked, there is probably another issue at the root of it

How are you today?
To be honest, I can’t talk to my problems with anyone, because my friends are suffering too. I always think I have no right to get any help or attention from any of my friends because it makes me think that Im selfish. I always see myself as a role ( for ex. “Best friend” “a person who will always be there for anyone) and not who I am. This video somehow made me feel light and glad, I can’t really describe how, but Im glad this video came up in my recommendation
The place you're at is undeniably difficult. It's way harder for suffering people to heal each other than it is for healthy people to heal suffering ones.
I also agree. It took me so long to trust someone and talk to them, I still haven’t said everything on my mind but I finally convinced myself that my problems are worth sharing and that if I talk, then they might too. (which was an added incentive because I’m a listener and I love helping people deal with their problems (seeing them from sad to happy is the best))
I can definitely relate to you. Sometimes I even advice other people on this same thing but i can't follow my own advice when I do
To all to feel like that, I hope you guys can find someone to open up to, and that it gets better over time. My best wishes to you! :)

I know I should probably go to therapy, but it’s difficult to think that I’d need to open up to someone.
Edit: I feel like at this point I have a responsibility to say something. I plan on going to therapy, I know it will take time, but I will always advocate for people get help when they need it. Strangely it’s easier for us to forget our mental wounds because they aren’t so apparent, unlike a broken leg/arm. Even, like I said I know I probably should go to therapy, I’m just preparing myself for the process itself. Also, if you don’t like the professional, it’s okay to leave them (easier said then done 😅). Just remember, just like any physical wound, if mental health is left untreated it can and will get worse, stay true to who are while gaining the courage to better yourself. If you forgot what “happy” feels like, it’ll be cool if you stick around until you experience it again 😊
Same here the idea of opening up to someone is kind of hard for me I can barely understand myself but I hope you get the help you need :)
Being able to open up is great.. when you finally find that person to open up to. Do you agree?
I think I can help you even tho I’m not a therapist.
Don’t know where else to Chat about this so uhhhh yeah
Therapy is a waste of time, plus I'm to hopeless to be cured any way.
@@idreamindarknessandsleepto1475 eh, that’s what you think but really you will never know if it’s right or not, you can make your choice. Sometimes wasting time To a person you can trust is worth it man.
The more I look into depression the more I find out that I'm relating to it all. I haven't been diagnosed because I am not telling my parents how I feel. They're a big part of the reason to why I feel like this and they'd just think I'm being extra.
I've been feeling like this for over a year. It's currently got worse.
What doesn't help is that there's nowhere for me to go so I can get a break from my family.
Wow I can relate to everything you just said. I also have a lot of signs/symptoms of depression and I want to try tell someone or an trusted adult/parents about this so I can maybe see someone about it but since I am still young my parents think I am being dramatic :(. I do hope you feel better in the future and hopefully someone will come around and help you through this!
(excuse my rambling but i need this)
Get a break from family,,, ooohhh hit too close to home. I feel exhausted since pandemic start, it's just stress non-stop. I want to get out and have fun with friends. I know family is important and I love them truly but please they can be too much hhuuuuh.. i did have fun with them too.
(I STILL CAN'T GET OVER MY PARENTS DOESN'T LET ME HANGOUT WITH FRIENDS ERGH)
I just want to meet all my friends outside from school, work and all stressing stuff. I wanna talk face to face not typing, it doesn't feel enough because I would avoid it as much as I can (because it's awkward TrT). I only text for hw that's it, usually meet them to ask how their day at school.
BRUHH everything I said just make me sound selfish. I feel like I'm on my breaking point. One day I'm going to have a mental breakdowns damnit hopefully not so soon.
@@Yana_Od I relate to you too much.

Psych2Go: "Confide in someone you trust."
Me: "What if you don't trust anyone?"
JESUS CHRIST SAME!!!
I mean I trust my family but I still find it hard to open up bc I don't want to worry them. I trust my BFF and I know I can talk to her but I still don't feel like I want to pour out all my problems to her, even though I know she'll support me idk, it doesn't feel right. And I am scared at the idea of going to a therapist.
I'm not depressed diagnostically but yeah...
That sucks. In my experience... don’t force it. But remember that trust is not all-or-nothing and can be built over time.
When I was a child, I told my mom I was sad & she asked if I had bills to pay, a house to maintain or kids to take care of?
It took me decades to finally find someone I COULD confide in. We leaned on each other.
She died 2 yrs ago & took a big part of me with her.
So with ALL this talk about not stigmatizing depression or other mental illnesses, I reached out to people because I am drowning & I've been ridiculed and ignored.
Seems you have to be famous to get any help & sympathy
@Li Opei you're never too young for therapy. My manager has his 7 year old in therapy because he knows there are areas he may fail in, like noticing symptoms of a mental health crisis. He talks with her regularly, but knows that some things are easier to share with an unrelated party.
I just felt like, "If _I_ don't even know what I'm feeling or why, why should I talk to others about it? They won't know either and after some time I'll figure everything out myself."
apparently, thats not the right way to go at it :/
(FOR THE REPLIES:
If I mean talking about, I mostly mean ventig (consensually) and rambling. i can't take advice and most people don't even know what to say, but giving your thoughts more room makes more place for calmness. again, like a diary or basically any other way of communicating. you could even write down your thoughts and burn them, or scream into a pillow until your throat hurts. as long as you/i feel like someone, or even something, knows about it, it helps.
at least for me)

@@SoftyDemon im actually feeling really good!!
although talking to/breaking down in front of my parents didn't really work out and never got me to therapy, I managed to talk to my best friend and the only person I fully trust.
He helped me through a lot (probably because he'd been there too) and was my figurative shoulder to lean on.
And I did figure some stuff out, like my gender identity, which took some of the stress off of me.
there's still some stuff bugging me, and i can't even put my finger on what it is, but (at least partially) confiding in another person really helped me, so this is what i would advise others.
Alternatively, also having a diary if you can't talk about it. it helps keeping your head clear and documents your progress.
Sometimes I just put on a fake smile and pretend everything is fine so people won’t get worried but I am really depressed and thinking about leaving everything

@Sunnye Yourko I try but I just can’t
I don't think I'm depressed, but when I summed up my "symptoms" and things I struggle with, my homeroom teacher asked me: "could there be a possibility youre depressed?"
I still don't think that's the case, I know some people that are depressed and the way I feel doesn't really compare. But at the same time, they say comparing your pain and struggles to that of others isn't a good way to "measure".
My teacher told me they don't know how to help me, and that it might be a good idea to talk to a professional. I'm quite nervous to ask my parents, since I've tried before. This basically ended in them not really understanding why I can't just push myself to get things done and get a good day-to-day schedule. I can't tell them why because I don't even know myself. It's like I'm tied down and see something crumble and fall in front of me: I want to support it and make sure it doesn't fall, but I can't.
It's really frustrating, since I can perfectly tell when and how it goes wrong and what I should do to fix it.

I talked with someone with depression and actually made them a bit better by letting them open up and just plain out talking and conforting him so people what you learned today is be pacient with people that are depressed and let them open up.
Im happy for u👍

It isnt healthy to gatekeep
I'm more introverted and don't enjoy being around strangers but I don't like being by myself either because then I feel tired, lonely (not as in people around me but as in like I'm the only person in the world), I cry over the tiniest things and my intrusive thoughts get even louder. However, when I'm with my friends I'm the happiest I can be and I feel content with myself and the world.
I replied to a previous comment who is going through a similar situation as you and i wish to offer you the same insight and help i gave to them. Basically the comment said that there are moments where they feel legitimate happiness but when they're alone they cant bare the idea of being alone and all the sadness comes back again. so here it goes, it was a long reply but i hope you can take the time to read it and hopefully retain something from it
What I'm getting is that whenever you're in the company of the people you love and doing fun things you feel genuine happiness but then can't stand it to be alone. If that is the case you need to work on getting to love yourself and getting to enjoy YOUR OWN company. At the end of the day you are the person you're with at all times and you cant rely on the company of others all the time to feel genuine happiness. You deserve happiness when you're by yourself too and the feeling of dissatisfaction of being on your lonesome can lead to serious problems such as drug or alcohol abuse as a way to cope with your own company and as a way to escape, depression, self harm, eating disorders, etc. Please take time to know yourself and think about the things YOU wanna do and the things you would enjoy doing alone. If I was to guess maybe you come home, stay in bed, watch youtube videos, a movie, binge watch a show, stay up late, get unhealthy hours of sleep, etc. If that is the case then this way of living is way more unhealthy than you might think and could be a big factor why you're not comfortable being alone because when you live like this you're not actually taking the time to make yourself happy or creating happy/fun memories you can look back on. If you think being by yourself is seriously damaging your mental health and you cant stand the idea of being alone then i SERIOUSLY hope you take my advice and not just read it and think "thats a good idea" but actually follow it.
1 - keep an active and healthy schedule (maybe writing it down on a notebook can help serving you as a guide) and try following it as much as possible and be more mindful about your sleep schedule, I would say going to sleep around midnight and waking up around 9 am (maybe set a reminder on your phone to tell you to go to sleep at midnight)
2 - take time to do things you enjoy that will get you out of bed and keep you from binge watching shows. For me personally would be working on an art piece, going for walks while listening to music, meditating and going to the beach. Other options could be doing a sport, practicing self care, writing music, playing an instrument or even doing something you've always wanted to try, take time to know yourself and what you enjoy
3 - take 1-2 hours 2 or 3 days in a week to do some chores, clean the house - this will make you feel accomplished and that your time went into something productive and having a clean and tidy home can improve and boost mental health
4 - keep a schedule for when its time to study and focus on school work or on your job (maybe 3-4 hours a day) and make sure you follow this as much as you can because doing well in school/college is a huge mental health booster and if you study regularly you gain momentum and feel like you're actually learning and enjoying the process.
In the beginning it may be tough but you'll see once you get the groove you'll feel better with yourself and not feel like being alone is a waste of time. Now I'm not saying you can't have days where all you do is just lay in bed and binge watch your favorite show, in fact quite the opposite, there should be days where all you need is to relax and not do anything BUT THOSE DAYS SHOULD BE the exception. If you do this you will look back and and feel good about yourself, you will have good memories of yourself on your own and you'll feel like you've accomplished something
i spent 2 years of my life where i was very unhappy being on my own even though i felt happy with others. That lead me to heavy alcohol consumption as a way to escape instead of actually facing my problems so i know the seriousness of the situation and where it can lead to. Fortunately those days are over and I can say im much better with myself and now not only can i enjoy company of others but my own too and thats how i did it. its a dark path to go through and a lonely path for that matter that many dont get out of. I hope i was able to help and offer some insight and if you feel like the situation you're in is alarming or feel like its only getting worse then i strongly encourage you to seek professional help.
As someone that's been diagnosed with several mental disorders, you're not alone, despite what is going through your head.

I fit all of these describtions; and i do always feel broken, just like a part of me is missing. Empty and restless, without a goal. Besides i do drink much to much.

I don't have the energy to wake up every morning, existing feels exhausting. I don't talk because it's a lot of work and I always feel this pain in my heart 😳 sounds cringy maybe but I actually feel that
You might actually want to get that checked out... Physical pain/pressure in your chest might not be psychological.
I don't want to sound "alarmist" or anything, but something actually wrong with your heart could mean your blood isn't circulating efficiently... AND that leads to you NOT getting enough oxygen around your body and to your brain... AND oxygen deprivation often presents as "fatigue" along with disorientation, general clumsiness, and difficulty in thinking clearly.
Obviously, it doesn't HAVE to be a physical problem... BUT before we waste a whole lot of time pushing the "mental health" as the root of all problems, you might want to check and just make sure you're physically alright. ;o)

I hate that people put so much emphasis on talking to others about things. I’ve been dealing with shit for so many years and still am, yet I’ve never talked to anyone about it and gradually I got used to it and got better all by myself. Every time I hear something like “you should talk to someone about it,” it just gets on my nerves and makes me question myself, like “am I really fine now?” And I know many others also don’t have anyone to talk to about things and telling us to talk to someone about it just makes us feel worse. So if you’re one of those people, know that although talking to someone about things can help you, it doesn’t mean you can’t get better without it.

100% this video is me, the only 3 things that truly relieve this feeling is watching movies with my family, making sad videos about normally cheerful characters/wrighting terrible backgrounds for them, and talking to the true person I could trust with anything... he is the only close friend of mine I don't constantly question myself if we're still friends or not
So happy i watched this. Just makes me wanna open up to my therapist more.
Try some shroom,
Shrooms, you see, are not just a bit of psychedelic fun, they can actually cure depression, anxiety, PTSD, and mental health issues in general are notoriously hard to treat, so why not try psychedelics and see if they worked?...they can help you If you don't mind,you can link up with my plug myco_logan1 on Instagram about how shrooms works on depression and anxiety..
I feel better when i talk to myself, have many imaginary friends that care about me, i have had people (real people) that ive talked to about my problems, but it just seemed like they didnt care.. so i dont talk about my problems much (only talk about a few problems to my mother but nobody else)
i actually talk to god as a comforter
I do the same thing, I have a lot of made up characters that have helped me and I talk to myself instead of other people a lot. It’s not a bad coping mechanism, though I hope someday you will find a real person who really wants to hear what you have to say. Stay strong love, do whatever you need to help yourself feel better :)
@@tiajade1471 most of my "characters" are from games and a show that i like
Me too, i literally have whole conversations with myself in the mirror because i seem like the only person who truly understands me
@@sigmasonthejeep500 this is why I want to get into religion when I’m a legal adult
This is so accurate, when I was depressed I used to constantly tell myself that I wasn’t and I always kept myself from the subject this video helps a lot 😌
Omg!!!! This channel just knows what I need everytime
I appreciate this..., I already knew myself, but I seriously appreciate this one..
***TURNED INTO A PERSONAL VENT, REALLY SORRY, TRIED NOT TO BE OVERLY EXPLICIT OFC, JUST MENTIONS OF VARIOUS STUFF, IT'S MOSTLY FOR ME ANYWAY***
I hate how ironic and bizzare it feels. It's like PPL perceive me as this embodiment of calmness and the least confrontational and problematic person (and I am, to them), but inside I feel like I can't go back to healthily directing my anger and sadness anymore bc I used to be so open and then started repressing it. So I get very hot headed and explode. Or sometimes precisely bc I don't confront and instead ignore the problem or avoid/distance myself from others I get rly scary and violent obsessive thoughts bc of my intense emotions having no escape. I will be the first to help but when I try to seek help it just never goes how I promise myself it will, I either downplay it or notice someone isn't taking it seriously OR doesn't know how to react and help (which isn't anyone's fault either ofc). I thought things would be different when now I am meant to be under care of professionals but it all feels so formal and awkward and I need to warm up to it but I'm never sure how bc there's to much raw emotion that I haven't shown to anyone except for my family in so long. My friends try but it can only go so far like i previously mentioned. My family tried to support me too but my mum has a mental illness/disorder and my dad has a genetic sickness. I try to shield my brother but it impacts us. It feels rly strange bc I feel like the only one "stable" enough in the family but the weight of dealing with it all and keeping it in check constantly impacts my health a lot and if I can only do so much myself then what about my brother. My mum realised that but causes us unintentional emotional harm and stress even whe she tried and help to look for a professional to help him as well. I didn't think things would be easier when I got older and older but feelings helpless while it all falls apart in front of me feels so heartbreaking. My emotions either get so repressed to the point of emptiness or so intense I keep causing myself unintentional harm my hurting myself out of anger (not like cut@@ng or anything, just when other methods of controlling my anger don't work, I hurt myself to not hurt other ppl out of necessity/automatically. Or I back myself up unit a corner with obsessive thoughts which seem satisfying but they get scarier and scarier to the point where I scare myself and I feel like I definitely shouldn't feel this way about smth. Or keep having panic attacks and rage eruptions. It feels like most my sadness has been turned into anger and dismissiveness at this point. I just feel so exhausted I can't bring myself to care that much about my problems but I'm literally stuck with them and have to battle them every day. I never felt sui***al per se, bc I just don't think it'd bring me personally satisfaction or free me or anything-it'd still feel like a wasted opportunity cuz I had so many dreams and plans for life, to exhaust it till I naturally decay. I don't think it'd give me the type of peace I yearn for bc who knows what'd happen after death but if I can't feel that peace, is it rly peace at all? Sure some ppl rather that than pain and I get that but leaving things so unresolved in my life would not put me to rest either. I never seriously considered it, more like thought about it a lot and maybe how it'd play out or what the cause of it would be. I always remind myself it isn't the worst ppl have but downplaying it feels rly hurtful too like a jab in the heart especially if it comes from someone rly close to me.
Hope you're doing better, take care, from just a random stranger online )))
The more I look into depression the more I realize this is true for me. I feel tired all the time, I hate expressing my feelings and I feel angered all the time, I barely eat anything or I eat way to much. I’m also a Virgo so I’m good at hiding my feelings, so nobody thinks I’m depressed unless I’ve told someone really close to me. I haven’t even told my family or any counselor or therapist. I’m just a kid... and life is really hard sometimes trying to seem happy all the time.
Is it bad that I haven't cried or yelled at anyone in 2 years even though I do in my head???????
Maybe
botteling up emiotions in never a good thing
Better than getting smacked across the face.
Same here man
this is literally me. Like my parents can’t tell because I never get mad or sad or anything, but then I wake up crying but I can’t tell what I’m feeling. I’m tired all the time, whether I got 5 or 9 hours of sleep, my eating patterns are all off and I’ve had to see like 5 doctors, my parents don’t know why I don’t care about anything whether i get punished or not, and I don’t know how to explain. My friends all think I’m kidding since I joke about it while forcing a laugh because it makes it feel less real, I think that’s why I kept telling myself I was being dramatic. And I just like being alone tbh. So, I feel you.
Sounds potentially unhealthy, but maybe you have a good reason for it?
I don’t feel depressed, but I’m worried since I fit with every single point…
same
Never in my life have i experienced that fresh thingy that is shown in movies right after you wake up. Im always tried in a way that yes i can do stuff but i don't want to and my energy is the same even if i sleep too much or too less. But if i try to fall asleep because i feel tired, it's just me laying down as sleep just doesn't come to me. Its hard to fall asleep at night as well though.
I don't think its because of depression, i just think my body is like that as its not that I don't have will to get out if bed of get things done. I just don't wanna get out of bed as though its the most uncomfortable shit while trying to sleep at night, its comfortable for some reason when i have to get up and i just don't wanna get up. But once i finally do and do morning stuff like brush etc, i feel normal. So yeah idk why i would feel that way though.
I really thought that all these days, I wasn't really depressed, I could feel sadness and anxiety within me but because I could still express happiness and talk with others I felt like "it's fine". Well today I came to know about this and my questions were answered.
I often feel really bad but have no one to share it with, I often told it to my parents and they really didn't mind.
These videos really help me a lot, I'll try to come out of this stage and keep on with my studies. Seriously, my favorite UA-cam channel.
Me: “You’re saying you might be depressed for attention”
Also me: “I haven’t told anyone about it”
*”ATTENTION”*
ME
i have negative thoughts and then convince myself im only doing it for attention
Or ✨imposter syndrome✨
that's exactly how i feel. im constantly going through so much on my own but when i start to get the idea to tell someone my brain goes "you're faking it. you're doing this all for attention" even though i know full well i experience these things alone in my room where i could never get attention for it smh.
@@casn1ne928 literally exactly how i feel, and then i wonder if its things like these videos that make me think that way in the first place
I know i'm depressed, and i feel like all these years knowing it are just passing away really fast.
Things that i remember like they literally happened yesterday, are things that happened months before, and that scares me.
I always have bad nightmares and i wake up with fear.
My only emotional support are my dog and my friends, i don't tell them never how i am or what i been doing, i love hearing theur thoughs and that makes me feel good cause if i talk, i feel like i'm making them sad or i'm annoying them.
I wanted to write what i feel now, my english is not good and if someone readed this, thanks.
I'm the exact opposite I feel like time is moving really really slowly but everyone thinks it's moving normally
Who relates to reason 2, like when your parents ordered you to do something and said you'd handle it but when they say it again, you get irritated or angry?
Meeeeeeeee
same ._.
id be like "oh i wanna study today" and then my mom comes and its like "you have to start studying soon" and then i lose the motivation to study. and i laze around for the rest of the day.
this was VERY VERY apparent last year during online school when i was experiencing burnout. it was very hard for me to keep doing what i should be doing everyday. i feel like all of this applies to me, but about the smile thing, smiling is a reflex of mine. i smile when i’m nervous, when i’m embarrassed, and if someone says something it stares at me, i turn away and smile. it’s not something i do on my own, it’s reflexive, which is why others wouldn’t know i could possibly have depression.
Me, who is Actively Depressed: huh, relatable.
Me: *sees that I have signs of depression* No no no. I do not have depression
Me and the person onscreen: *yawns at the same time*
Me: NONONONONO I AM NOT DEPRESSED
Ha same , i feel like if i actually get “diagnosed” for “depression” it’ll just make me worse ….
i’ll just figure this out on my own
@@ju999X I understand how u feel but its always better to consult someone..help is out there, its just gonna take a Lil effort to reach it, hang in there and hope u have a nice rest of ur day
@@YG-sq1yd thanks man, really appreciate the kind words 🖤
@@ju999X No worries, tc :)
100th like to your comment :')
Let’s all admit. Parents say they understand. You tell them what’s wrong.
“Oh your so dramatic”
That’s why I love my friends.
theyre the reason i wanna die
how u have friends everyone is so toxic and mean and gossipy
Amanda, I love your voice, it's so soothing and calming. Never heard something like that before, really putted me to ease.
Thank you for this video I do relate to all 6 of these and I’m actually going to my first therapy session in a week idk I felt like telling you since I always come to your videos for fun and for comfort if that makes sense :))
What should one do when they come forward in expressing their inner thoughts and most people are either ignoring it or they get scolded because they don't actually believe that they have any signs of depression which makes the person more depressed thinking that is it possible that they are just faking it and they don't know it, as majority of the people don't actually believe they have a problem????
I was told that it’s normal to feel like this because of the pandemic and that I’m not depressed and that it will go away after the pandemic. It’s normal right? Also I was also told that if I feel like this for a short amount of time it’s sadness that everyone feels every once in a while but what is considered a short amount of time?
When you’re sad, it comes and goes. You’ll feel sad for a little bit, but you’ll eventually be fine in a few days or a week. Depression rates have gone up with the pandemic, so that part is true. But it’s still depression. If you’re young and going through puberty then these signs could also be confused for depression, it’s a finicky thing.

Ah ok
It is completely natural to be depressed every once in a while. I am dubbed the "happiest person in my grade", but even I still get depressed in certain areas of my life at some point in time! Pandemic depression was extremely real for me, but I believe God puts everything in your life for a reason. During the pandemic, I began to become EXTREMELY in love with singing. I always knew I wanted to be a singer, but the pandemic depression helped follow something I love to do to make me feel better!! Maybe something like this has happened to you, even though you aren't aware of it yet! If you feel an overwhelming amount of depression/sadness, you may want to; 1. Check ur medications. While I was on a superrrr strong face medication, I became a bit depressed. I started to take a lesser dose, and it went away!! 2. Talk to family/ a bff to get over your depression by explaining it/ asking for help. 3. THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT: Even if you do not consider urself christian, please start to pray!! God is in control through all things! Praying will help you not be depressed, bc you give all of you heavy load to the Lord! Please ask if u hv any questions
Hi there I haven't been doing good at the age of 11 and haven't sleep for few day, I didn't know where did all of this happen, it's just came to me and stuff, I'm very tired whenever I'm not doing anything, I have been trying to commit suicide and I usually get tired over small thing for example writing only 100 word, I do not know if I got anxiety, desperate, or ahdh, mostly I think just anxiety, I want to end it, can anyone give tip? I would appreciate it!
@@Sophisticatedesire
This is exactly how I felt when I wrote my comment and I think you should listen to the comment above yours ^•^ I’m sure it will help
Sometimes I can't find the exact word to describe how I'm feeling, so when someone asks, I just say I'm tired. My friend noticed, but she still keeps asking me how I feel whenever we speak. I used to be the one insisting we spend time together, but as we grew up, she became the one always checking up on me, and calling me every day...I'm really grateful to have a friend like her, I feel like I don't deserve her. I'm happy to say that in 4 months, we'll be celebrating 10 years of friendship! The longest someone has ever stayed with me, except for my mom, of course:)
Lord, I pray that whoever is reading this just knows that you are by there side and with them every step of the way. Amen 🙏
Me with diagnosed depression: “hmm...interesting, I wonder if I could be subconsciously depressed!”
Me a few months ago with undiagnosed schizophrenia: hmm good thing I'm not schizophrenic I only slam extremely paranoid struggle with basic functioning hear a rattlesnake in my back garden despite me living in the UK where there are no rattlesnakes and a bunch of other stuff symptomatic of schizophrenia

"talking to someone trustable is a great help"
Me: laughs in *My parents always blame me if I tell them something*
Me: **laughs in my parents mocking and making fun of me everytime**
me: [laughs in parents telling me ableist insults and calling me every type of thing]
You seem to be missing that trustable part. Of course, talking to someone who always blames you won't be helpful at all.
SWEARING !!
Holy shit Alexithymia just showed a new light for me, i literally can't tell if i'm always happy or something like that. Damnn.
my emotional turmoil is not depression but merely wanting to regain my honor by capturing the avatar but also having morales 0_0
