Hi😊
Pin me
why though?
I am to cure mental illness both cognitive and physical. But not get rid of any one who can't recover. I saw friends who needed so much more physical therapy and help to get through their mental illness. People want to call obesity a fucking health epidemic why doesn't their health insurance cover gym memberships with child care? If their mental health was really the worry, THEIR HEALTH INSURANCE WOULD COVER PHYSICAL THERAPY TO BEAT THE WEIGHT
@@banana12216 why not i guess
Whoa
bro didnt even ask politely
Depression encourages creative thinking because you have to be clever to find ways to get your brain to cooperate with you.
So real
no
Where did you think the word "Think outside the box" came from
plz what??
For me it's the opposite, my rational thinking increased a lot while my emotional and creative thinking reduced
It gets better! So anybody going through a hard time,hold on. We can all make it. Stay strong and safe!💞
💗
Thank you, I needed to hear that from you!
it doesn't get better you just learn to live with it
GOOD AFTERNOON MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU, I REALLY NEEDED TO HEAR THAT FROM SOMEBODY, HAVE A BLESSED DAY TEE. I'M PARENT MOTHER TOLD ME THAT SHE WISH SHE NEVER HAD ME ,TEE ,O.G. NEED LOVE TO

I'm feel like im useless so atleast i can help you with this❤
❤ thank you for saving me time. I always scroll down hopinh someone outlined the video.😊
Not useless, just haven't blossom into your best self you are. Although you seem to be on the right track, so lose yourself some slack.
I understand how you feel. I sometimes go back to the videos that are 2+ years old and find ones without time stamps to do them for.
You definitely aren't useless. I always look for this type of comment for videos like these. My ADHD doesn't want me to sit through the vid sometimes lol.
You are literally helping people, so you aren't useless😐stop it, you're useful!
I feel like if anything, depression makes you stronger. Being able to overcome your struggles and continuing forward makes you very resilient
People have described me like this, but I don't really feel it?
That feels like sugarcoating it. While the skills and practice gained from actively fighting depression makes you stronger, depression itself only breaks you down.
Sorry for being a downer, but I just get a bit, I dunno, upset when I see comments online basically going "Don't worry, this bad thing is actually good for you, just lean back, and it will all be resolved eventually". I think I might just be bitter.
(I know that wasn't really your intention, but couldn't help myself)
@@MrSuperTeenGohan It can come off like that, people just word things wrongly, coming off as fake and patronising. There's nothing to say or do when you tell someone you're depressed because they'll give up on you a few months into helping you or they really just cant do anything to help you
I suffer from clinical depression and have noticed my creative side is more vibrant and more productive than when I am happy because I try to keep myself busy and not worry about stress or anxiety.
So true. Do you show your works on social media? I would love to see them, if you do.
@@marikothecheetah9342 I do actually, I got plenty of projects on my channel
just stop being depressed and start being happy.
@@anderstermansen130 You really think it's that easy huh 💀
@@anderstermansen130wow you are SO stupid.
“the person who tries making everyone happy ends up the loneliest”
As much as I hate my life, I'm just grateful...to be alive..
To see the sunrise and sunset, feel the air, taste delicious food, and more importantly, to see your friends and family happy..
And I appreciate that more...than being rich with money..
Bro, my mom lost her car and doesn't even apply for a job. We're also going through a current struggling without funds or varieties. Yet, I still think life is worth living. :/
Disclaimer: This comment is not full esclosure to flex on anybody who's going through the same phase. Just a note to know you should be grateful. :)
@@knightorange8148 I think its entirely possible to be grateful whilst still struggling with depression? It sounds like you think these things are mutually exclusive when they're in fact, not. I feel like this kinda logic kinda shames those who suffer from mental illness. Also sorry if I misunderstood your comment and went on a bit of a tangent 😅
@@LunarWind99 Yeah, I see why. I'm not intentionally that good making others feel better while getting into exaggeration support sentences and my logic here is an irony; more like caring more talking about my story.
Wouldnt be grateful for my life if it was to save it. I would turn down a billion than be grateful.
Everything is wrong with me why should I be grate for such rubbish when everyone else has better
Your depression reason is more your own close people like friends and family
I live alone with depression and anxiety myself. I am sending hugs and positivity around everyone who's ok to not ok too. You all matter 🫂🤗❤
You matter ❤!
You also matter! ❤🤗

@@MrMartellSincere No way! Knuckles drops today. And I'm waiting for the reviews to come out before I watch it.
People need to not insult you and understand that we aren't in control of how we feel, think, and act when depressed. It's brain chemicals that causes it and many other factors that can cause but for the most part it affects our brains. It's not about you being mean, it's that we can't control depression when it affects our brain in turn affecting the way we act. People need to learn that and not insult people with depression. Be compassionate and understanding rather then be hurtful. And I agree that depressed people tend to be creative. It really helps them cope with the problem which a good thing
I've been fighting clinical depression my whole life. I am a black hole of negativity and despair. I wish I had never been born. I go through the motions of life only because (for good or ill) I have a handful of people that care about me and I don't have the right to hurt them just because I hate myself.
I am, observably, broken. If depression doesn't make me broken, it must be something else, I guess.
Try meditation
You're not broken!!!
Then shouldn’t the goal be to do the things necessary to hate yourself less every day? I did something along those lines and it’s paid off for me. Still hate myself, but I’m a lot wealthier and in much better shape now.
💜
going through the motions of life because some people care about you even if you don’t like yourself hits hard :( I hope it gets better for you!! ❤❤❤
Yeah, my depression kicked off an entire multiverse of my poetry, art, and story telling. Which is the very thing helping me cope with my depression.😊
Not gonna lie, It did the same for me 🙂
@@IceT-in6xs oh really? Let's hear one of your poems please?😁
I will share one of mine if you do.
@@Mc_Mac_AD well I never really made poems because, if I'm being honest, making shorter pieces of writing isn't my thing but I am currently working on my first novel. I can share the intro if you'd like! :)
@@IceT-in6xs sure go for it✌😊
Here is one of my haikus:
Long Live Love
Love, has met it's end.
I saw it fall over there...
Over today's edge.
@@Mc_Mac_AD that was really good.
Here's the intro to the novel; it's called "Stop and Stare" (sorry if it's long, I tend to yap a lot in person)
As the frosty updraft of the now shimmering East River envelops the grey, dreary Manhattan Bridge, there stands a boy, 17, with a strange lost and glossy look in his eyes standing at its edge. It's a familiar scene, one he's revisited countless times, each time haunted by memories that refuse to fade. He remembers the day when hope slipped through his fingers, leaving behind only despair and the ache of loss. The comfort of his older brother that he once knew vanished like a mist, leaving him grappling with the pain. But amidst the turmoil, one thing remains constant: a haunting melody, heard only once but etched into his soul. Whenever the weight of his memories become unbearable, he would make his way through the heart of the concrete jungle, drawn back to this spot where time seems to stand still. In moments of despair, when the thin line between life and death blurs, and the pain from the scars of abuse blister it's the memory of that song that offers a glimmer of hope, a reason to pause and contemplate. And so, he stands, caught between a strange longing for life but reasons to keep living, as the melody echoes in his mind, urging him to 'Stop and Stare'.
As a guy dealing severe Depression for many many years, including Low Self-esteem, constant feeling of sadness & emptiness, anxiety,
Feeling absolutely Worthless & Hopeless, this is relatable
have you tried just not to do all of the mentioned above?
Try working through them one by one, Ik it's never easy to try while being depressed but you'll get through it once you step up.
Never really knew that my strong empathy was probably made stronger when I've developed depression. Seriously never used to cry when I see or hear someone cry but after developing it I have. Great video!
It can be rough, and most times, it gets you down. But you have to keep pushing yourself forward. Not for others but for yourself because you are awesome as a person. So don't ever forget that.
I always believe that I’m a bad person when it comes to my depression 💔😭
no tears baby... no tears... I love you... it's going to be okay
I can feel it. I am dealing with borderline personality disorder for a while now. and that makes me a sensible person. too much sensible.
the problem is that when I saw someone suffering I do my best to help him. but once his okay. they start judging me. and tell me that I should be like them. strong and help myself by myself, amd being depended... just like them. forgotten that I was with him when he were on trouble ☹️
Due to the fact that I've undergone possible depression, I try to help others as much as possible if they're going through something. I know what I'm going through, so I don't want others to be in the same situation. Also, it's nice being the therapist friend :]
My father was abusive and angry because of his depression.
Now I'm a mother of boys who cries all the time.
Depression is hard, let's try to not pass this on to the next generation. I honestly just want to be happy.. not look but FEEL it.
So far it seems to only be a dream.
The only thing you can do is try and break the cycle. Show your children that you can cope and you can have moments of good. Show them that it is ok to express sadness when depressed. Try to help them in the ways that you weren’t. My father was also angry. He was emotionally and physically abusive. I feel the darkness, the anger, but I will NEVER let it take over the way he did. My oldest knows about my depression. (She is 8 yrs old) She knows about my suicide attempts. I told her the second time she told me that she wished she wasn’t alive, and that she wanted to die. The first time was at 4, and the second time she was 5. She talks with me and comes to me for support. Let your kids know that it’s ok, and that they are not alone. Be the parent that you wish you had.
April has been a pretty rough month for me, I never knew depression has its own strength until now! I finally figured out why people see famous artwork as an emotional masterpiece because the artist felt depression in them, too!
Thank you so much for this. I just broke down in a depression crisis just an hour ago during a therapy visit. It got so bad that my brain just shut down And blocked me from consciously remembering the traumas that bring it on. It has been such a reoccurring problem over thirty years that I have learned how to be fully aware of it when it's happening. Your video describes things so accurately, and that is very appreciated.
When the only advice you receive anymore from anyone is “just don’t be sad; join a gym; get a girlfriend; or pray to god”, you start to believe that people really don’t want to help, and just think you’re a sad, lost mess. And that doesn’t just make you feel like a bad person, but a *horrible* person.
Especially when for the past 4 years you’ve tried to find your way around the dating world and haven’t been able to see an inch of progress. Even after deleting all of my dating apps, I still feel like the loneliest man in the world.
Thank you, I needed to hear this!
Helping hand, rose-colored glasses and judges of character apply to me in one way or another.
I'm not sure I'm very good at creative stuff, but engaging in it makes me feel better and more free.
I've always said I'm not a pessimist, because my "negative" predictions were usually closer to the truth. And afterall it is often good to be aware of the worst case scenario and avoid it.
thank you for this video❤Ive living with depression for 11years and still today it's so difficult when I'm going through a depressed time I call it,I'm at the stage now where my body is tired of the emotions and I feel tired of myself, this video taught me to look at my strenghts I love writing and I haven't been writing for a while, thank you ❤🎉
Your channel always makes me feel so much better about struggling the way I do
me too
I had depression for 3 years until this one
I changed the way I was thinking and started to see the world with different eyes
Now I know that a friend has depression and I'm trying everything I can to help him to get out of that spiral of darkness
This channel helped me a lot and continues helping me
Thanks for your content ❤
Thank you very much 👍 ! Just watch this video can save so many lives !
Some people have no idea what depression is or how it feels let alone what does to you until they go people are so quick to judge you I've been battling depression for a while myself
Great video, I recognize this and have experienced several things regarding depression.
at this point i just want a hug when i feel lonely at school. i hate having to get bullied and trashed on by not only bullies but sometimes my own friends
By understanding that depression is a common human experience and not a sign of weakness, we can begin to break the stigma surrounding mental health and foster a culture of empathy and understanding. Let's replace judgment with compassion, and embrace each other's struggles as opportunities for growth and connection. Together, we can create a brighter, more supportive world where everyone feels valued and accepted.
The narrator's voice is so soothing. I didn't realise how much I needed to hear it. Thank you. 💐
I love this video. Thank you.
Thank you my friend for making me alright ❤❤
This is so true.....seems like Depression has been a blessing in disguise ❤.....
Creativity......judging people correctly...so true.....
hummmmm... yet to find the blessisng
@@johnadams1976 You will..... don't give up.....
as I found and realised that everything has some purpose in life....even though when we are going through it....we don't realise why it's happening 😊
Hi I have kind of depression but this helped me a lot I can't wait to watch your next video I haven't watched you in a long time and I have been subscribed for a long time
Some people like Kurt Cobain and Chester Bennington were such wonderful, creative people. I feel their emotion in every song, every word that leaves their lips. May they rest in peace.
This was a great video! I absolutely connected with the more "realistic perspective" found in depression realism. Sometimes when feeling depressed or down, I may try to look at my situation from a more realistic perspective😅. At first I believed this to be me simply overthinking things. However your video showed that many suffering from depression are only looking at the details of a situation. Something that surprised me from video was when you mentioned how many depressed individuals actually use various forms of art as an "outlet" of sorts to poor their emotions into. This makes a ton of sense. Overall this was an incredible video @Psych2Go! And remember everyone, depression never impacts your self-worth!
Well, that explains why I got out of the box and finally get to end up videos for my channel, more frecuently than when I'm happy.
5:19 I really like the language used here. “Will you somehow change *after* you recover?” 5:40 “Once you recover completely…” This is what we need to hear. It *will* get better. You *will* recover completely. There *is* a light at the end of this tunnel. ❤️❤️
I had one of my strongest upbringings after waking up with suicidal intentions. If you have any self-worth or good memories in the recesses of your childhood memories, it can be enough to help you realize who you are.
I have had battled my depression for longer than I knew, I was diagnosed early college. Its been consistent since. But it got worse in 2022, when I was diagnosed with coloncancer. Everything kept going down hill. Thinking "I deserve this" and coming to the mindset of "I wont be around for long..." was painful. But March 2024, It went into remission. And since then, life seems... Brighter.
The video reminded me of a Yungblud's song called Happier.
No I'm not broken, I'm just scared to belong here, scared to be happier.
Broken, I'm not broken, I'm not broken, I'm just a little depressed.
I'm not broken, I'm not broken, I'm not broken, I'm just need a rest. 🤘🏻🎶🎶
Your channel is my inspiration❤
I've been dealing with depression since a child from extreme trauma. And to be honest, I don't care if people like me. I'm not going to waste time pleasing everybody. I don't care if you respect me. I have enough self respect. And although nobody is supporting me, since a child and as an adult. And I'm doing the best I can with what I have. It's extremely depressing for me and it hurts from the fact that my relatives and most people refuse to help me. So I learned to help myself. And I have been helping people and being treated like crap. But I manage, and learned to grow mentally stronger. And I gave up on my faith in people. And just do the best I can. Long story short, people normally screw me over and do bad things behind my back. But I'm doing alright as far as I'm concerned. But mentally, I'm broken. And do what I can
Thanks im even more depressed now from visiting your channel i don't have 99% of stuff like friends or relationships seeing this shit is like valentines day it makes me long for this kinda stuff more
Thank you very much for starting making videos on this side of psychology again. I honestly couldn't watch the video yet but I'm willing to watch it after few minutes. By the way.... I wanted to convey this message as early as possible.
Here's the quote
I can't trust any of the psychiatrists I met. Even these videos on UA-cam platform proves that they're not so qualified mainly because of how they communicate with a patient. I can't hesitate to think that psychology field in our country is damned.
Please expose more about
1. Schizophrenia(Especially what if I can't hear anyone now and don't see anything - There were very few occasions that I saw things clearly and I doubt that whether I got auditory hallucinations or pseudo hallucinations but there were few people who talked to me in the past torturing and threatening me, the host was YAHWEH the god).
2. OCD(This is my oldest diagnosis and even though I told many psychotic symptoms in the past, this was an unshakable diagnosis and now this getting kinda undertaken as schizophrenia has risen, I wanna know what can make this mimic schizophrenia. Whether paranoid delusions and taking very intense reactions against them are also caused by these.)
3. What does the term Trauma-Related issues really mean. None of my doctors listened to my trauma. They always didn't give me a chance to tell them. Finally, I showed so many evidences to claim about my traumatic experiences. That's when he gave me chance to share what happened to me and agreed that I've trauma-related issues since that's the term I questioned him about but he doesn't give me any information goes beyond this term.
I really wish your help to understand what's happening to me. Sometimes, I say my issues such as triggers but they simply tell me to forget about them even though they're quite disturbing. I think I need more different drugs.
Never lose hope guys... anything is possible... i believe and love all of you... sending a hug
Remember that the fact you can be resilient and learn from your depression, that doesn't mean your depression is a good teacher.
You deserve to live far long pass your pain and your depression.
I can't convince myself that I'm not broken, because when I think about something being "broken", I think of it as "No longer being able execute it's initial/intended functionality".
And I can factually say that I am less capable than I used to be. I can no longer find passions or motivations, which leads me to simply not "living" the way I used to. I may have gotten other traits from "breaking", but that doesn't mean I didn’t break. Based on my actions and capabilities, I am simply less, and I can't get that out of my head, because it seems objectively based on empirical observation
The video just deecribed my feelings and intelligence instantly💀
I generally don't want to hear about others' problems because I am already carrying an abundance of my own pain. A therapist once equated it to being a full cup of hot coffee; the cup can only hold so much. So if someone jostles you, the hot coffee splashes out and burns. I used to be totally different, but that part of me died with my adult son.
Most of my days are filled with anxiety that makes me exhausted, nauseous and achy. 25% of my days are filled with depression and not feeling like wanting to do anything. Today was filled with nothing but complete hatred to everything about the world.
Sigh... I can't believe this is how my one life will be spent... People who never have to experience this don't know how unbelievably lucky they are ...
At 72 I've had depression most of my adult life. What a legacy 😢! Raised with "the arts" but never talented enough. Now I never listen to (much less play) music and have abandoned all other art as well. The most creative I do is making a point of preparing a nice dinner for my husband, who at 75 is still working full time teaching elementary school. I keep waiting for a time I'd expected we'd be able to enjoy l life a little more but he's happy and thinks I'm just someone incapable of happiness (probably true). I just thought life would be more satisfying. Guess not. Too late now...😢😢😢
Thank you ❤
I have severe depression.
I've felt that for more than a year but it was known by people around me for a month when I spoke up about my problems to get depression test.
It's hard for me, very. But I do believe that a lot of people are like me too.
Yay you came back! I didnt heard you since a month i think? (Maybe ive not seen many videos about psych2go 😅)
Love ur vids btw
Edit: it was 6 days ago😅
People don't open to me if I don't open to them... Depression sucks because I feel like I am alone with it, but in reality lot of people struggle with the same problems, we just don't like to talk about it...
Actually where painting helps, they get darker and more depressing when I’m painting in a bad mood and beautiful when I feel happy and like someone cares.
Where that is a bit of a run on sentence it was the best way I could think to word it.
Wow. This video. Honestly, made me smile. I remember the many weeks, hell months of me battling my depression. I still do from time to time, and this video pointed out a lot of things that I both recognized and agree with. Thank you to Psych2go.
Though, I will admit. I always wondered if there could've been a much more successful and socially brave version of me if I never had to deal with depression and other things. Would I be just as empathetic and logical as I am now, or would I be even less so?
Funnily enough depression actually helped me understand myself a bit better. I took a few tests, found a few good friends and I finally feel like I have a place in life. I also started reading stoicism and existencialism to finally understand the world better on a global scale. I climbed quite a few levels from just staring at the ceiling and thinking about ending it. Just relax and improve. The result will come👍
I like to think of myself as a good person. A loser and a failure, sure, but still good at heart.
thank you so much
Yes, I believe that depression people can become creative for suddenly. Cause I feel it too, but there was something hold me to show my creativity.
Depression teaches you right away about fake smiles because you've to wear 1 all the time to avoid scrutiny
It crushes one's spirits.
I was diagnosed at age 12. I’m 35 now. Still have it and it’s getting worse. I’m definitely very empathetic though and it’s easier to support someone else than take care of myself.
your channel is my favorite channel
When dealing with depression your dealing with pain it doesn’t matter how much. Dealing with these things is hard and I do find my art and stories do get better under negative emotions and stress. But sometimes I don’t like how disturbed the art or story can get.
The funny thing about depression is that it makes you feel you've lost yourself while also helping you discover more and more about yourself and this goes to show that sometimes in order to become better you have to face something that will make your life hard because you don't know that bad things happen for a good reason
It's hard work but if you can slowly work on it... It gets easier... I'm still working on it so trust I know I can crash again but we must be brave ❤
It’s a phase in life and you’ll get better! Believe it will! 💗
I might not be broken, but my heart is 💔.
I think depression still weighs me down, somewhat. Not much I can do to change that, though. Just keep working I guess.
Its very Exhausting 😢😢 that's for Sure..
There are two different dimensions to this,
1st They are able to read people better avoid people with bad intentions and be very very analytical..
2nd They don't care and focus on themselves,
Be very conservative,
Take very long time to form any kind of Formal relationship..
Impact of Depression is different on different peoples.
But one thing is for Sure..
That They really Soften up Inside Ou and their voice deepens..
There's something very strong, I guess very strong pain..
This is so greatful video
Thank you
I'm often being told that I'm too annoying, boring, dark and stufflike that, that I should see the worlds in it's better colors, yet I can't. And people keep calling me those things, and it just always spiral down. Right now I'm at a low, I'm an inspiring animator, yet it's been days since I've been able to just hold a pen.
i know it may sounds silly, like I'm still a pre-teen or whatever, but I really don't see myself as a good person. Never have. I honestl reach a point where I try not to care anymore, but I can't. I don't know what to do, everything seems so hard to do, I don't see the point in doing anything, I'm just tired, I want to sleep and never wake up again right now.
i think everything will have 2 sides, one is good and the other is not good. And i think people suffering the depression might also endure a lot of comments on themselves telling them that they're a bad and weird person. However, as not many people experiencing the things they've gone through, that's why the judgements might be come out that easily. When you go through sth that these people did, even us might not endure that much, so hope we don't make any easily judgement on someone when we rarely understand their situation, their personality and their environment.
Honestly I don't know what my mental state is from how much I relate to most of what I hear about specific mental disorders and illnesses
It's become so confusing and I can't figure out anything anymore
Thanks for your words psych2go
I used to be insanely creative before my first depressive episode, I always had so many ideas, I wrote fanfiction, drew art,, I was making fan videos. But after my depression I just lost this creativity, and it's still very painful to me. My therapist says I was using this fantasy world to escape from traumatic environment, and she's probably right. But now I kinda got into knitting 😂 It's like I revived a tiny bit of my creativity, and I'm happy about it
As someone who suffers from severe depression i completely agree with everything in this video
sending a hug.....
Womp womp
@@moonknight-ti5kp gladly receiving it.thank you
@@shadow.yamihiro Of course...
I am diagnosed with depression and lately my mom has been telling me that I’m narcissistic, mean and more. Which has made me believe that I am. I’m having second thoughts what if I am mean and narcissistic without even realizing. Her words made my self confidence really bad.
I can relate to that, it hurts really really bad, when someone close to you (family member, partner, etc.) goes on about how bad you are... But remember, it is just one person. I think that it's really brave of you writing your problem here, and I'm sure that you are a considerate person. :) I hope you feel better soon.
I agree that depressed mood causes for new creative ideas. Although it can be blended with desperation, sadness, hopelessness and violence. While getting traumatized, I created a drama called "Destruction or Judgement" in my mother tongue. It was obviously so judgmental, desperate and violent but later on I lost that script and remade it(in the name unexpected apocalypse) taking the religious, judgmental parts away with increased the violence adding some new concepts as now I'm specifically kinda interested in violent literature.
I do find my creativity more easy in these down episodes. I use theses creativity sprout to help me overcome my cyclic depression period. Problem is when i the the hight period i lose concentration, focus and achieve litle related with my creativity. I ve been writing a book about whisky for 3 years now and still havent been able to finish it, but my consumption is really low about 1 glass every two weeks or. Even less
Finna do LTG speech on this one 🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I am an introvert who might be suffering from depression and somehow I got tired of feeling something that I couldn't take it anymore that I don't know who I am anymore and feeling exhausted everytime and always been a nihilist.
Currently going through this myself, it’s been going on for two weeks. This sinking, empty feeling. I hate feeling like this
I feel like everything is gonna shallow me i don't wanna do anything and donna wanna listen anymore. Days are passing and I'm still not ok
More and more anxiety coming to me...
i like this video style XD
but anyways, being a borderline makes me not learn from my mistakes of trusting others blindly and being co-dependent and sharing my life story with strangers TvT
my psychologist made me figure that out during therapy and i felt so guilty and ashamed at my past actions aaaaaa (it's more to me laughing and screaming in embarassment when remembering what i've done multiple times before).. no wonder why people think that I'm desperate (which i am because of past traumas) for friendship/company.
i can't differentiate between a normal friend and a close friend.
that was what my psychologist said.
:')
ah it hurts. T^T
2:21 "acurate" ;P... Major depression is a catch-22... I blew out my amygdala after several years of chronic stress, and a decade of anhedonia has slowly but surely eroded my quality of life... stress makes things worse, but it's difficult to completely avoid stress. I've always been a "creative", a musician, and a recreational athlete - I used to find joy in many things, but now I struggle to feel any motivation or enthusiasm... I go through the motions, or don't bother at all, I'm a lot less fun to be around, which is... depressing. Plus, the current state of the world makes the lack of optimism worse. Until I find the right "magic med", I wish heaven would come sooner than later. There are so many of us carrying the same heavy fridge on our backs, and I wish our plight was better understood and accommodated.
atleast i can tell some one a half glass full opinion on anything their going through
Depression coupled with my severe anxiety have greatly contributed to me making bad decisions not good ones. It's unfortunate that the person used as an example of a great artist who suffered from depression, Vincent van Gogh, died by suicide.
omg y'all helped me a lot to the point where I stopped going for therapy and started living my life to the fullest and I'll forever be grateful for that
Sometimes I feel like I enjoy behind depressed like getting high on it idk if im alone and idk why but after it all settles sometimes its not too bad after all
It does make you broken. It doesn’t get better. The stigma is very alive in the real world. Don’t tell anyone. Talk to nobody about it. Pretend it isn’t there and act your way through life. Advice from someone who’s been there forever and made the aforementioned mistakes. Telling someone ruined my life. I should never have mentioned it ever.
Right it's society that breaks you
