Depression can look like the funniest person in the room
Robin Williams. Rest in peace ⚘
It's... True...
BRO 14K LIKES 1 COMMENT
Real
That hit deep tbh
Tbh both are accurate. The 1st is just when i failed to hold it
That's why she said what depression can ALSO look like
The 1st actually feels quite nice once in a while.
Same
Same,just now I had my first breakdown and no one's there for me:)...just how I need it be😊
School is tough.... oh btw I hope your alright now❤
True
What I hate about it is when you open up about it to the people you are close with and they just shrug you off and give you advice like it is easy to just snap out of it and be happy.
Yesssss
I feel EVERY BIT of this comment plus on top of that it just makes you feel even more alone
Most of them have never experienced the levels of depression that others have, or they have and found it easy to deal with...that's why it's easier for them to tell you get over it
They forget we are all different ❤
True. They tell you oh just be happy. You're like what?!
The extreme fatigue and the numbness that comes with it is brutal along with low appetite
Yeah. But I just eat and eat.
Hope everyone doing good and staying safe. If you need to talk to someone or need help, there are people who care. Sending support and hearts. ❤️❤️❤️
I wish I had low appetite, I never recovered after the pandemic and am currently obese
All of this, except I eat a lot
How does depression feel like do u get sleepy when u do things you once enjoyed and nothing matters anymore but u have to do it I still like things but I get super bored of everything like if I'm doing something for too long I get sleepy and head hurts anyone else feel this way and its better to do nothing
I don’t suffer from depression, but I just want to thank this woman for saying “what depression CAN ALSO look like”
🙏🏾
Don’t forget the smiles with tired eyes behind them
at that time Jesus said:
"Come to me all who are weary and burdened
and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you,
learn from me
for I am meek and lowly in heart
and you will find peace for your souls.
Indeed, my yoke is sweet and my burden is light."
Matthew 11:28-30
Personally I am witnessing that. i thank Jesus and ofcourse Mary for giving me better life ❤️
That was me today at college
For me, I just don’t *really* smile in photos anymore. Not with my eyes, anyway.
I'm that person. I always smile and laugh at school and outside, but when I'm alone I know I'm just an empty worthless loser
🥺💗
People think of depression as deep sadness, but it's really deep despair.
Sadness is hurting because you're unhappy. Despair is becoming numb to sadness, joy, anger, fear, etc. because you see no point to any of it.
It's how so many people with depression can still remain functional and how so many of their family members & friends can be blindsided when they end it all.
"But they didn't seem depressed!"
Playing charades makes it all harder too. Speak up and get help.
YOU DEFINITELY HIT THE HEAD ON THE NAIL WITH THAT POINT....GOD BLESSINGS EVERYONE ❤🙏🏾
What you wrote is 💯 true
To the point... accurate.... The numbness and the pointless ness
I think you are describing resignation as a mental attitude that can follow a long period off despair. Despair is a strongly choatic feeling and very emotional while the numbness you can up in is the opposite of that. Depression can be many things but often its someone pushing through in survival mode while shutting their feeling off
I understand this feeling unfortunately. And the worst thing is when they call you selfish.
EXACTLY, today I went to like a family trip and we took a lot of photos and my mother and father were like you always don't engage in family you are so selfish because I wasn't giving a genuine smile. I am struggling with depression and anxiety and I'm not the person to tell my parents or friends about stuff like this. I'm always on my desk studying not interacting with anyone in the house because I want to keep myself busy and they always assume why.
My only friend is toxic to me and he says I'm selfish..
@@Cinnamonroll010I'm sorry to hear that... remember that, sooner or later, things will get better
You are not selfish. You are not alone.
I still remember how shattered I felt inside when they called me selfie and dishonest
So proud of anyone struggling to keep going with depression. It's exhausting. Love you ❤
We don’t really have a choice.
What people don't realize is depression isn't an emotion, it's a mental state. You can be happy, sad, angry, any emotion you want to feel but at the end of the day the depression is still there.
This is so true. I was sitting in my room crying and then my friend texted me so I wiped my tears and started joking with her even though I’m really sad and want to just sleep
Međugorje, where was apparation of Mary, Mother of God, is the place of peace, happiness, feeling God's love and hug. 🙏🏼 God is waiting for us to take that step to Him, in prayer, in sacraments..❤

I physically can’t fully cry out of sadness or frustration only a few tears
At least you have friends
I don't have any friends
I get exactly how that is...
@@americanwalmarts3565I think we’re built different because we’re strong! Stay in the good fight 💪
I hide it until I get to my room. Then I cry for hours
Hey, Life is as realistic as death, what life has that its better is that you can eliminate the suffering and feel only Pleasure, death is lame and stupid, there was a point for you to live and that is for you to have fun, So Focus on that!
you got this
Ur not the only one.
Same, i can't wait to get home and just cry
I can totally understand. I was in same condition few years back. Please go to doctor speak your heart out. It is curable. You are not alone ❤ I wish for your good health 💟🙏
To all the people who are clinically depressed, I’m so sorry to hear that 😢😢 it is not easy to fight with it at all
Thank you❤...it...means a lot

It becomes even more difficult when you have to show everyone that everything is okay while only you know how tough it's....
You can't even show to your family because you don't wanna stress them and also because they won't understand
I embrace my sadness now, rather than try to go against it. If I get a burst of energy before it kicks in, I use that to get things done especially with 2 small children under 5. Hang in there everyone.
If you please allow me to give you advice. start taking L-tryptophan, Omega 3 and D vitamins as supplements, these supplements have helped me a lot, sunlight every morning is very important at least 15 min. Therapy works as a form of support but most important building a relationship with Jesus Christ is what keeps me going and gives me the freedom.
Not trying to diagnose, but have you looked into bipolar 2? A lot of people overlook it because when you say bipolar, most people think of the stereotypical symptoms. With bd2, tho, the highs are not real high but the lows are really low. That is why the highs get overlooked because you may think u r just happy n having a good day.
Just thought id say something because you said burst of energy before it hits n it can be like that.

Hey, I'm really struggling mentally at the minute and have become s*icidal (just censoring because otherwise UA-cam would remove the comment) I dont know how to tell people or how to get help but I don't want to hurt people if I go so I'm really trying to hold in there but I'm so close to breaking. Do you have any advice?
@@The_Duck_God I hope you've found a way to keep going. My advice is, just tell the truth. That you're feeling horrible and that you can't seem to take it anymore. Then, be humble enough to seek professional help: everyone has different needs, so if you need mental help, you have the right to get it. Hope this helps 😊
Exactly! My
Psychiatrist once told me I was a high functioning morbidly depressed individual. He was spot on. I just hid my depression thru my work. I was always working and “doing”.
This is me i over my self

I am an english teacher and want to committ suicide everyday yadiyadiyadiya. One student once told me "hey teacherr you are so full of energy and vitality and are happy all the time cracking jokes! How do you do it?"
I just laughed and said something like "you guys are awesome thats the reason!"
I always think about that, people cannot see past my façade. I am completely alone in this, it hurts really. I have to fake so much of myself to stay functioning in this life. In this world. I hate it so much.
Only the time I'm working i don't feel depressed,, other times i just don't wanna get out of my bed and sleeping all day
I think this is part of the reason some people don’t even know they’re depressed! It can also look like anger and irritability.
The worst part about depression is that no one cares. People might say they care but they’re just telling you what you wanna hear.
It sucks when u smile just to hold tears back. It sucks being broken and ashamed like me.😭
I am on anti depressent since 2012...and people around me never saw me upset or crying I always smile and try to be active in everyday life I just don't wanna show my tears to anyone because people starts to judge you easily. But thank god I hv gt a beautiful family my parents are my strength that why I am surviving everyday.
Depression is not shown to others because it is seen as embarrassing so it's actually likely to be both. You get on with your day without showing any emotions to just break down or feel low in your room where no one will give you a reaction.
yeah but my sister has her own bed in my room so I cant breakdown unless she sleeps somewhere else.
@@LittleWitchMilsgo outside, breakdown in the warm shower. Let it out, don't keep it all bottled in like I did.
@@LittleWitchMilsYou can breakdown in silence
Yes it's me
help me
I just stare at the wall. tears on my face and overthinking everything.. I try to stop crying but when I think about the problem I feel weak and let it all out.. the worst part is that I hide it from everyone
Ur not alone.
Me too. Don’t hide it, tell someone you trust. Or a mental health professional. You shouldn’t have to hold it in.
I understand, tell someone you trust. If you have no one, I recommend telling Jesus. He can take away all your pain, burdens, EVERYTHING your bottling in. Jesus died for you for a reason. God bless you. 🩷 Is it okay if I pray for you?
Just know the Holy Spirit can guide you to the right paths. Jesus loves you, my friend. If you need anyone to talk to, you can too me, if your comfortable with it! ❤❤
@@pullpulse123Same 😢Nobody cares for me

Anxiety happens when you think you have to figure out everything all at once.
Breathe . You're strong. You got this Take it day by day.
That's true tbh
Day by day ? I say take it moment by moment present. Be the Observer of your thoughts and emotions. Know what is your pain body and how to heal it. Learn about how to abide in the inner-body. Learn the power of now. This is all practical. Human suffering is created for the most part because we are identified with the mind. If we don’t choose to wake up now, we will be awoken in time with greater suffering.
Like my mom always say to me: one task at a time, one day at a time🥺🥺
Not always, it depends on the cause. Mine just creeps in whenever I get a flare from the chronic disease.
Thank you
Mine looks like acts of service or gift giving with lots of sleeping and quiet crying. In my mind I am worthless. If people around me find me helpful or kind than my existence will at least have a purpose in society.
You’re a loved more than you know, you have worth, you are important.. ❤

Cry in ur room
Bro
Imagine working so hard and it doesnt reflect in your results
It sucks so much, I'm so scared of it
Its takes the life out of you
Yeahhh....no idea what that's like....😢
I’m literally sick of trying, and chasing goals, and coming up with reasons to like living. I hate to say it that way but I feel like that’s what life is, finding something to live for and enjoy life about.
I realize that on the inside there’s something missing or underdeveloped and I just can’t live life like a mentally healthier person can. I have to try extra hard just to be a healthy person on a baseline level which makes having daily life goals on top of that EXTRA strenuous, but no one knows the work I do every second of everyday. THATS the painful part. They just judge the pouting and the “deer in headlights” look on my face, but I’m not only sad but I’m tired. I’ve been at this all my life and sometimes I feel like I’m just not there yet. I wish I could just turn my brain and emotions off, maybe I can get more done. I’ve just become worse as a human as the years gone by. Self preservation and survival has been the name of the game, I don’t even think I’m capable of loving myself and others like I use to feel when I wad younger. That childlike heart is wilted.
I struggle with this alot.
For all the people who are dealing with this I am so sorry you deserve peace and happiness and so much more. You are important. You are not a waste. You’re beautiful you are handsome you are smart and talented. What do you feel and what you think what’s in your mind, and in your heart is important you deserve to be listen to you deserve happiness
Thanks for the support I really appreciate it! GOD bless you 🙏🙏
Needed this💗. Thank u love🙏🏾
Aww thanks❤
This honesty made me cry. Thank you so much
Smiles through the pain , at least that's what I deal with
Edit: HOLY MOLY MUM I'M FAMOUS
💙💙💙
I smile through the pain
@Thawne1338yes
I smile through the pain too! I also don’t cry when i’m physically hurt!
@Thawne1338ye
That’s so true
So many people hide their depression and feelings because they think no one will understand their pain
But everyone will
Nah most people don’t get it. Plus not every person going through depression has similar experiences with it so it’s harder for them to relate to each other.
Mine is definitely both. Dont even have enough energy to function
I’m so sorry for anyone struggling. It’s been so long. God bless u all
People will never understand what we go through….
I don't know if it's but I have
E to keep a secret from my mom and my heart it's telling me go tell ur mom I did the last night 🌙 but I used to cry eve
Cry night.so I understand
I get called bubbly and likeable at work but they don't know what I'm really going thru
Literally me
Hate being called it
I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling well inside. I always wondered if bubbly people were really happy all the time, or they were just putting on a brave face, to not burden others. I low key envy you. Because, my sadness peaks through, it shows on my face despite my best efforts to hold it all in. Not that I wanna hide it completely, but I'd like to be able to chose when and who I share this with, lol 😅
@@sherrytzasherrytza4793I would rather not burden anyone
🥺
Sometimes, it does look like the first one I once spent the whole day in bed crying
Why?
I have had severe depression for nine years now, I’m the funniest, most caring, lovable person in the room
Depression hits hardest when you’re alone
Agreed. Only child vibes 🎉
No wonder I'm starting feel alot more.
I’m constantly alone, I guess it’s always hitting me the hardest.
Depression is no joke. I know. Kind regards from Belgium.
I hope you’re doing okay friend. You are so strong for dealing with this because it can be really hard. But never give up and know that you can work through it. There is always hope. I’ll pray for you friend. Jesus loves you, as shown by His life, death, and resurrection to give us all eternal life. He is there for you too

@@EllieBaker-nh3ipsame whenever I smile I end up looking like a wierd vampire with a melted face
Smile to hide the pain within you man that’s deep and something I go through allot sometimes
U Okk?❤️🩹🙁
Depression can looks different in different people
The first one is how my depression feels 😢 the second one is what I try to be so no one notices it... 😭
Every day I have to put a smile on my face and if I don’t force a smile I cry uncontrollably
Please don’t suffer alone. Talk to someone you trust, supressing everything is not good for you, you can vent to me if you don’t mind? Your not alone ❤
You can vent here bro, you're not alone
Hugs
Me too
Depression is something when you act everything is absolutely normal but completely down inside.
The first one is usually the pit you hit when your in extreme depression
its hard to tell if someone is depressed cause you can never really tell cause everyone deals with it differently
I often like to smile and make people laugh a lot. Just those small interactions help a lot inside.
Depression don't have looks. It can be inside of anyone no matter what they look or what they are doing.
Sometimes people with depression are those most smiling and showing joy in the workplace all the time...because they overdo the acting to make it convincing. Nobody is happy all the time. So this is how you can spot it as well
Agreed! I’m a very high functioning depressed person. I clean, work, take care of my kids, and pets. But still depressed.
Depression is when you realise you are losing your self in depression but keep sinking in it with a big smile on the face.😊😊😊😊😊😊
As someone who has had depression, the 1st one is also accurate. Depends on if the person will try to hide it or not.
The first one is very accurate. We stigmatize people who look sad. I don't trust people claiming to have smiling depression. You can't hide depression. It doesn't make sense.
Yeah my mum had yo use her best negotiation skills to get me out of bed to do something I enjoy.
@@narlywaves2371 You can definitely hide depression. I rarely ever cry when i am with people and i've been wanting to kill myself for the last 3 to 4 years. Never did it because of fear, but i want to.
@@narlywaves2371you can at times.
First is when people don't give a shit about your cries for help. Second is when you give up on looking for help from people and just cope with it.
I'm depressed when I get up everyday and look for a job.
Life sucks
Same here dude 😢
Life does sucks. But know that Jesus can help you! You can (if you want) place you trust in Him! He died for you and loves you so much, it’s hard to explain. His love is amazing. When we follow Him, It doesn’t mean our lives are PERFECT, we will go through stuff and the devil is real, sadly. Can I pray for you? I’m not gonna force you, you can choose. ❤
I totally agree with this ,its just that we keep ourselves super busy to ignore the fact that we are depressed but sometimes it gets so hard that we cry literally in the middle of the night thinking so many things at once
Yeah
@@myselfbabarali Don't worry if you are going through it ,I know it's hard I don't even understand what I'm going through sometimes
just live your emotions :) I dont give a damn what my collegues think, I'm just so fed up that I never can have a bad mood. If they call selfish for it, they are toxic.
The word'' depression'' ,first time i heard that word from my frnd ...i never knew wht it was.. life was very hard for me in my 18... i never knew i had been going through one ,its like i am swimming in ocean without knowing its a ocean...i thought its just water ,u just have to swim to survive..but it was diffrent...now i am ok,but really deep inside not. Just living with a flow. Guys whoever is going through this , take help, dont loose urself ,u r stronger than u think,speak to urself, love urself ,ask urself how precious u r ,stop hurting urself . sending lots of love and prayers ❤❤❤
What depression really looks like: *insert a person smiling with their friends and dancing*
I don’t have one
It can look like that too. But for me, even with friends, I'm still feeling low. I just try my best to not bring the mood/vibe down (don't always work as sometimes I'll just stop talking all together)
I told my family and friends i feel like a failure when they ask me "are you okay?" And they said I'm seeking for attention/it's all in your head/you have nothing to feel depressed. Then i hand them the result from the psychiatrist that said i have a severe depression. Since then, i never told anyone about my feeling.
Don't ask someone "are you okay?" when you don't mean it guys.. it hurt..
I regret telling my family. The end
❤❤❤
@@juneautumn3067why?
They only ask if you’re okay but they never suspect that it would be depression. Many people like to anyhow say when they know almost nothing about depression like smiling depression 😢
I should never have told my family
Take a deep breath. It will all be okay in the end :) you live, you learn, you hurt... but eventually the cycle repeats with new people and new opportunities to grow and find peace. I love you so so much! I'm so so proud of you for making it this far 🫶🏻
And are u ok🙁
Us on the outside: *smiling*
Us on the inside: *deep sadness*
What do you mean us? I’ve been depressed for years and I barely ever smile. We’re not the same.
The first one is crippling depression. This is the point in which you start losing jobs, losing friends, and have no energy to do anything. Maybe need someone to take care of you. The second one is functioning depression in which you can still do stuff and are trying to keep everything together even though you could be at the brink of losing it.
This world was just lacking for love, everyone needs that. The moments you spend with people you shall cherish it every second. Most of all people ignore being open hearted and that explains why people get depressed.
The problem is fear of being open-hearted to wrong people. You end up getting more hurt.
I absolutely hate it when you have sad or have anxiety or lack confidence and people say, “just push yourself and try to be be more confident, it’s not that hard!” Or “cheer up, there’s nothing to be sad about, just try to be a bit happier” because it’s really not that easy.
The first is typically clinical depression. U can be laughing with your family before deciding to take your own life, u can never tell for sure that someone isn't depressed, especially the most happy people u know.
Both are true. The first is jsut whn i cant hold it in anymore. Which is most of the time, you could say.
We can be happy too just that happiness doesn't last
Life hit different 2014-2019 i will never get that back

People think I'm an introvert but the truth is I just want to be alone a lot.
Same, I’m introvert too
That what’s a introvert is they enjoy being alone
Well unfortunately my country is an extrovert country and people here are extroverted. Now i feel like im the only one who is introverted being forced to be extroverted
Same
I guess you live in asia? @@ryemiranda6800 sorry if im asking too much
I always seem cheerful on the outside but I’m actually crying on the inside
I just wanted to say that If you have suicidal thoughts or mental trauma or even if you don’t or your just going through something ajust know that I love you and your loved by many and people and if you think that might not be loved by your family or people you know or just anyone just know they might even love you even more than your think. You have a purpose you are beautiful, kind, just be yourself and go after what you want to do. You are amazing, you got this, and things will get better in your life, you will do great things, and so many people and I are proud of you. Your future is bigger than your past and your past does not define you are awesome and a warrior. Don’t hate yourself simply because of your past, forgive yourself, love yourself no matter what because you deserve the world and the great things in it. I love you Have a wonderful beautiful nice day. Also how are you and your family doing today? Thank you so much for your service.🙏🏽❤️ Never forget you are not a mistake you belong in this world and you are light of the world and you are the true meaning of kindness.
I got straight As all through school and everyone thought that ment I was fine. The worst part is I told so meny people I wasn't, but all they said was "your doing great!!" "Just keep going". Yeah, I was doing great, because I felt worthless and wanted to compensate for that.
Remember, you are not alone - seeking help and support is a brave step toward overcoming depression.
you are very correct, your awesome 👌.
It can also look like smiles, joy, people pleasing, humor, and life of the party....missing a whole lot here.
I do both.
Nothing makes me TRULY happy 😔
The deep breath and that lifeless feeling is depression. It feels like we are on the verge of crying and our chest feels heavy.
What helps me with depression and especially anxiety is looking at moths. Just makes me internally and happy
U ok❤️🩹🫂🙁
Depression is basically burning from inside, being paralyzed, becoming totally numb and feeling stuck with incredible inner pain & having demons within your head killing you mentally, physically and emotionally. Its insanely difficult to battle depression especially if you are own your own. To anyone with depression or anxiety, I swear to God you are not alone and you are loved and you deserve so much more love and respect. Please don't give up. Seek help. People will take care of you but you need to take that first step. Do it for yourself.
😢Thank you ❤
What about people from whom u are seeking help making fun of it and u never dare to share ur feeling anymore?🤡
Uhm from what I've experienced ppl you tell about your problems and ppl that say "I won't tell anyone I swear!!" well, too bad BC THEY ALWAYS TELL PARENTS AND MAKE YOUR LIFE FCKING WORSE
So you speak to professionals @@bishalgolder5226
Very correctly put. I have gone through for more than 1 year and still going through but intensity has reduced. Keep yourself busy. I got performance appraisal even when i was working under depression. My subordinate complimented me saying that i cool and nice boss. But inside i only know what i was going through. But it motivated to keep myself busy . So my advice would be keep yourself busy if u want to get out of early.
Lord Jesus, may we come to You always. Amen.
I just make sure no one knows then I sit in my bedroom crying myself to sleep and dealing with all these thoughts
For I have severe anxiety and depression but I am an extrovert so people always say of you can’t have anxiety and depression but it’s hard to hear that I could be internally depressed and anxious but on the outside I look like everything is fine thank you for bringing awareness to this
YES. You’re still able to work&study, to do things while being depressed
I’m depressed, but I try not to show it because I don’t wanna cause problems. I pretend I’m happy and go about my day, but the second I’m alone in my room, I lay down, start overthinking and sometimes crying.
Bt body will not support after sometime stress cause anexiety in body hiding is good untill body .....
The "what people think depression looks like" part was me everyday
I was in a deep depression back in 2020. I used to go to work and do my tasks with my face full of tears. I remember also couple of times when I used to cook lunch for myself with my eyes full of tears and a dead feeling inside.. it was a horrible couple of weeks until I started therapy for the first time in my life. So I relate to the video. However, I would also say that depression is a phase not a temporary one week feelings !!.. so if you reach my level or the level in this video I would urge you to seek help as soon as possible. Most of the times it will spiral to much worse situation going from this level.. unless u reach out for help and used all the resources available to u.
Be safe and take care of yourself and your emotions ❤
It's both, one is when you are around other people, the other is when you are alone.
These feelings that grown so warm with me... forever etched.
There is only solace and acceptance in the dark. Jaded faded... apathy my only friend. Continue to look towards the sun but the moonlight is beautiful.
It's hard and I hate when people tell me to get counseling. I just feel like they just want to hand me over to someone else instead of helping with the pain.
When I tell my daughter to consider counseling is because I really don’t have the skills or tools to help her heal. Most times it is well intentioned to advise to reach for help.
I’m saying this as someone with depression and a slew of other things:
Assuming you’re an adult, it’s your responsibility to go get help. Depression is a treatable illness. Medication will help you chemically, counseling will help with coping skills.
Sometimes you do just need a friend for a shoulder to cry on, and a good friend will be there for that when it’s needed. But if you’re not taking steps to help yourself, no one else is going to be able to help you, and you’re just going to become an energy vacuum for the people in your life
If you’re still a kid, that’s a different story. You still need to get help, but you’re going to need help to get help. Talk to a parent. If your parents don’t help, talk to any adult who you trust. Preferably someone at school maybe with some kind of authority who isn’t afraid to go to your parents and suggest getting you treatment. Get the ball rolling.
Either way, best of luck. Be strong and get treatment.
They are telling you to go counselling because it’s for your own good. They have no skills to help you that’s why they want you to go to counselling
Counseling does help, but then you’ll be more depressed when you get the bill.
Therapists are equipped to deal with this. You may see it as they dont care, but maybe they just recognize that they cant help. Depression is a bitch and it makes you believe things that are not true. Also, like someone else said, it is our job to seek help from professionals. Just like if you got a broken bone, you wouldnt go to a family member to fix it; youd go to the er. Ive been in a place where i cried for help n no one did anything. I suffered for years. Ive learned that it is up to me to help myself, and yes it is hard taking the first step, but no one can take it for you. Sometimes it is easier to blame everyone else because in a fucked up way, we dont wanna be healed. Why? Because this is what we know and are used to n in its own way it feels comfortable. Thats why we need professionals to help us rewire our brains and thought patterns. So do it for yourself because you deserve it.
People say ‘depression is like being sad all the time’ because that’s the easiest way to explain it, for me at least it’s not like that, in fact I have a complete absence of emotion, pleasure etc. it feels you you are just sitting in a cold bare corridor waiting to grow old and die.
Interestingly I don’t experience dreams and don’t recall anything upon waking. And I get headaches.
I can barely get out of bed. I barely talk to anyone. I can't pretend to smile in front of anyone. When I'm at work i barely can function. I cant just smile fake.
Depression is extremely scary. I don’t know how to talk about it and sometimes it’s not so bad , but other times I feel overwhelmed 😢
This is very true, and is very important to keep in mind. There are probably, no, definitely at least one person who you see every day, or many times during the week, that is suffering through something, and you probably don't realize. It is always a good idea to check in with your friends, keep an ear out for how they are speaking or what they are saying, how much energy they have, and if its more or less than normal, so you can help them.
I have clinical depression with psychosis. I get good and bad days, the bed days are normal due to my health in general but we can smile, act fine and physically seem normal. We all cope differently, there is no right or wrong way. Sending hugs 🤗
True. And you can add a lot of crying too.
I’m sorry to hear friend. My heart goes out to you and I want you to know that you can work through this 🤍 surround yourself with love and support because you deserve it. God loves and cares for you. He is there for you, and I am too if you need to talk
“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life” John 3:16
I am crying right now
Unless you can't cry
Yep today is one of those days I’m paralyzed and can get out of bed or have a desire to do anything now crying but have learned to live with it so days aren’t as bad as others
I like how you said “What depression can also looks like” instead of “What depression actually is” because both can be accurate,it sort of depends.
Don't be sad
I have severe depression and I smile through pain cause I have no choice having a child with my beloved fiancé, I don’t like to do much, I cry behind closed doors, and I love to stay in bed. But i don’t let my depression stop me from taking care of my baby girl and taking care of daily stuff with my fiancé. He encourages me through the pain and tries to make me laugh even if it involves my daughter tickling me to hear me laughing. They are my loves and my support also through my pregnancy. I have it even worse with pregnancy but through the grace of god I have a family that helps me when I need it. Remember if you feel dispare and sadness there are people in your life and from a far who love you. Your not alone even if you think. God bless
Many people don't show what they're dealing with, and unfortunately many people who we see as "normal", suffer from so much shit that they end up taking their own life which is honestly really sad to know people around us could reach to this extent without us seeing any kind of red flag
My emotional pain seems to have a stronghold on me, its grip unyielding and relentless. It's like a dark shadow, always lurking in the corners of my mind, ready to surge forth at the slightest provocation. No matter how hard I try to run from it, to hide from it, it always finds me. It's a relentless cycle that appears to know no end, a vicious circle of emotional distress that I can't seem to shake off.
The invisible struggles of depression can indeed make it a challenging battle, often hidden behind a façade.
I used to be depressed and I would smile and sound happy then when no one was around I would let it out
It’s scary when we live in a world that don’t know what people don’t even know what a mental health problem is..
In the outside I'm happy, but in the inside im heartbroken....
