There's a difference between being clinically depressed, and feeling depressed. What advice would you share with someone who's feeling depressed? Comment below what helped.
First figure out why as the reasons can be hard to find, maybe is an especific thing or a mix of them. Also in my case I always wait till I feel better to try and change my mentality or my life because I can't if I'm depressed. Being alone and listening to music helps me think until I feel better
Know that you are loved! And you can do it! At your own pace! God loves you more than you can know, he gave his son for us, and you. He loves and keeps you safe. Take this time that your feeling down at your own pace, make sure your not stressing about making friends, even just saying hi is and can be such a great step! Love you all❤️
#1 engage in conversations #2 spend time in outdoors (ecotherapy) #3 challenge your negative thoughts #4 Bad day today doesn't mean bad day tomorrow (ex: not able to wakeup for a walk) #5 Reward your efforts
@@JC-no1jy I feel like this, too. But I have severe depression. Psych2Go is only trying to help. No their fault that I feel crappy. Hope you feel better soon.
As someone diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety a year and a half back who went to multiple psychiatrists, and was suicidal for almost 2 months, i can say that your videos help more than professionals. I don't know if its because of your soothing voice or that you actually relate to the issues in depression rather than taking it as a career and a source of income. Thank you so much. 🙇🏻♂️
Bro I advice to consult a psychologist also, along with psychiatrist medications.. it'll really helpful.. I have being in 14 years of severe depression and anxiety. For those 14 years, couple of years ago I started to consult with psychologist.. I'm happy to say, that I have reduced almost lot of severity and depression period time after that.. but that also not enough, you have to identify yourself mainly.. hope this will help..
I'm proud of you for being able to voice how you feel. I, also, have severe depression and the other things you spoke of. We, the depressed, need to band together. No one can truly understand depression like a depressed person. I am very glad that you are seeking help. There are times when a person just can't walk this road of life alone. Take care of yourself. I care about you.
Food For Thought: That’s the thing about depression: A human being can survive almost anything, as long as he/she sees the end in sight. But depression is so insidious, and it compounds daily, that it’s impossible to ever see the end.
That's actually very well said. I would add that a human being can survive almost anything if they know they are not alone. But, the loneliness associated with depression, or vice-versa, can make you feel so isolated that you honestly believe that no one sees or cares.
“People who have never dealt with depression think it’s just being sad or being in a bad mood. That’s not what depression is for me; it’s falling into a state of grayness and numbness.” - Dan Reynolds
I was told for months by many people I believed to be my friends that I could never get better. And even my (now ex) boyfriend said things like "you're not trying hard enough" or "you aren't even trying" while I was battling severe anxiety and depression... I felt abandoned by the people who were supposed to be there when I needed them... But using the things from your videos, I was able to take to take that step outside, get a fresh perspective on my thoughts and for the first time in years I can proudly say that I am happy... And I want to thank you for everything that you do, your channel saves so many lives and I am so Grateful that I stumbled across this...
i relate to you. my mother is the closest person to me, and i love her very much, but it was so painful to hear that she thinks i’m just lazy, that i’m pretending and my illness (which she doesn’t believe i have) is only in my head and i’m making everything up. just yesterday after hearing all of that i lost all of my will to live, because i felt so alone in the world where no one understands and believes me, not even those closest to me, so i decided to just stop eating and drinking, and die from dehydration. i lasted for two days (and i heard that you only need 3 days without water to die), then was talked out of it. today i heard all things from yesterday again, so i cut my wrists, but was talked out of it again, she said she loved me and all of that, but she still thinks all those things about me. i started to eat and drink again, but i’m not feeling too great right now, as everything seems meaningless and i don’t want to wake up tomorrow, despite the fact that i’ve started taking my meds again. maybe they just haven’t had time to work yet, or maybe i’m just tired, since i’ve cried a lot the past few days, idk. so yeah, it’s been stressful
@@Pain_Ito I am sorry you have to go through this with so little support. Please don't hurt yourself or kill yourself! Dear Pain Ito, there are easier ways to get attention. That tells me that you are really in some trouble now. Is there anyone you can talk to? Someone who can help you find a way out of this depression? Are you in school and do they have counselors? Is there a member of your family that does support you and believe that you are depressed? You need someone close to you to care about you. Dear Pain Ito, I care. I really do. I have had my share of suicide attempts and cutting. While I don't know exactly what the problem is, I can tell you that you are not alone. Please, reach out to the Psych2Go community here. We care and want to do what we can to help you. I'm almost always online in my country at night (Texas USA 10pm to about 3 am). I don't know where you are. But I am here for you.

I think it helped but when I watched it I started to think about everything that happens everyday and what if you do all of those things and you still feel depressed
@@Kutomi1 , yeah the proverbial light at the end of the day. As Kendrick Lamar sang, “We Gon be alright. Do you hear me, do you feel me? We gon be alright. ”
@@Kutomi1 Don't say that we are all going to make it. It sounds nice but it's just not true either. We who want to make it, will make it. The rest of us will die a slow and excruciating mental (and then physical) death. Look at the statistics. We who make it have to fight hard every single day of our lives and there never seems to be a day where anything comes naturally, or easy. Some of us will live, and some of us will die. That is a fact and life does not get any easier for denying the facts. Life is all about attitude, I'll give you that.
@@evanpaluch6190 Well yeah, of course. You're not gonna overcome anything if you don't try. But everyone has the chance to try and keep trying, it's our choice. A lot of people just need some encouragement to believe that they can try. Positivity does at least help a little.
I am someone who has tried healing. I'm in boarding school, something that limits my access to self care facilities. I've been making so much progress lately but sometimes I get these periods of overwhelming sadness and I get worried that I'm slipping. To anyone going through this, you are not slipping! Setbacks happen time and time but that only proves how human you are. Take a step back, relax a little and figure out what went wrong. If I, the weakest mf has been able to push through all these months, you definitely can! :)
You may describe yourself as someone who is weak, but, it would be a fallacy to say it in the superlative, as you do not and cannot know whether you truly are for a fact the weakest member amongst all in this category of people. Moreover, you surely cannot be weak if you kept on persistently plodding through your plight in spirit of fortitude and perseverance, because you definitely would have had surrendered a long while ago if it were to happen that you truly had been a weak individual. For he who is truly weak would not show any ability to survive even the gentlest of battles, nor endure the mildest storms.
I’ve struggled with depression for a few years now, and even though I’m doing a lot better, this is still really helpful for my off days. I just want to say how touched I was at the end when you seemed genuinely choked up about the subject. I can tell how much you care about the mental health of your viewers. Remember, guys, it’s the little things that are going to get you through this, so just take it one step at a time and stay safe ❤️
Thanks for this…. After failing college math for the 5th time trying to get my associates degree for Graphic Design I’ve just felt defeated because of how close I was to finally being done with college only to fail graduating alongside my friends because of math. Failing the math class by 1% didn’t help much either. It broke me… because I spent nearly $2000 alone trying to pass math over the years. Every other general class I overcame, but Math has always been my weakness. Thankfully the advisor came through, and offered an alternative Math I don’t have to waste money on. Given all the mental stress I’ve dealt with over the years with college I’m taking a break to gather myself and then finally be done with the godforsaken thorn in my side that’s been Math. Videos like this build me back up and offer helpful advice, and I can’t thank you enough for what you’ve done over the years. Wish you all the best, and hope this video helps others.
I failed college algebra 3 times. I had to pass it to get my Bachelor's degree. I decided to take the class as a pass/fail so that it wouldn't hurt my grade point. I passed it and my teacher asked why I took it as a pass/fail. When I told her that math was my weak subject, she was shocked. She then told me that I was great at math, I just had bad teachers. Now that you are taking a bit of time off, go online and work on your math skills. You can do this. You really can, you just had poor teachers.
I've been fighting depression and anxiety from my foot surgery. My insurance was dropped at the same time I was supposed to start physical therapy, so I've been trying to handle therapy on my own. I've reached a dead-end where I know I'm trying, but I feel like I'm not getting any closer to being able to work on my feet again. It is so hard not to give up. I've found that talking to friends helps. Before I say this, just know I'm talking about my personal experiences and not saying everyone needs to do this, but I started going to church and that was my saving grace to keep me motivated. It doesn't have to be church. Find something fun to do with others and it'll help.
Remarkable person reading this.. It’s going to get better; all it is a season of opportunity to grow and be better than before. Challenging times are meant to strengthen us, not to break us. Success doesn’t define to what happened to us; it is how we choose to deal with our circumstances. The more you grow and develop as an incredible person as you are, the more things will change for the better. Forgive more (for you), be grateful for even the smallest things (we have it way better than someone else), choose love over ego, choose humility over ego (humility is strength), and finally, invest into new skills so that your future self will thank you. Our lives will change forever the more we grow. Be thankful for the challenges for we know something greater is coming. Love you always - Nathalie ✨❤️
These suggestions and even the thoughts, make me even more clear on how helplessly things are going to end. I think I need help. I would love to somehow send you my story, and I do find writing as the only positive outlet I have left, just to tell someone at least what has happened and how I'm struggling to handle waking up every day. I don't have anyone else that I can confide in about these things.
The people here in the comments are usually kind to each other as we realized that we are the depressed, traumatized, screwed-up (sorry that one is me)people who Psych2Go is talking to. Most of us are walking the same version of each other's road. So, you are safe here. Be cautious, but we will encourage you and care for you.
As a psychology student I truly appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos. I hope to become a therapist one day to help people struggling with mental health just like your channel has been doing for years now. ❤❤
Finally finished the video, and had to stop and cry for five minutes. Thank you, thank you so much. I've saved this video so I can look into your eyes and hear your words of love and compassion every time I feel alone and helpless. Bright Blessing on you, you beautiful soul 💚💚
What helps me when It comes to depression is to be aware of the good things in life. Is it a beautiful tree with bright green leafs or a flower. I try to think about the beautiful things I see on my way to work to cherish me up. It's hard to accept the fact that I am depressed right now, but I tell me everyday "I am depressed right now and that's OK. It's OK that I feel bad, it won't last forever. I am who I am and that's good and I love myself for who I am". At the end of a day I write down my highlights may it be a kind e-mail from my colleague or a client or even a smile I get walking by a stranger. It's hard to see the good things in life but it worth to be reminded. Thank you so much for your videos!
Wow! I dealt with depression for ten years, without professional help, and did practically all of this. It's mostly the fight in me, that I've never lost, that lead me to naturally gravitate towards these activities. Wow, this just makes me even more proud of myself.
My thinking was,"there's people that care about you. Are you gonna let this beat you, or are you gonna beat it? Fight those dark thoughts. What do you need to do to help yourself fight them? Do this. Do that. Do you feel better? Yes. Push on. You can beat it." More or less. I could possibly add more, but I think that pretty well sums it up. I just did my best to constantly try to find the positive, and to just be more positive, but guarded, and now I'm an extremely happy pragmatic optimist, like as of around a week and a half ago. Also, I did my best to not be negative towards others. I still struggle with that a bit, but I'm working on it, and am about to actually start going to therapy with my wife. We both need it, and at this point she needs it more than I do. A lot of things have fell into proper place for me, and I'm in a great place in my mind. She is still a very negative thinker, and that disheartens me immensely. I've been part of the problem, too. I still have a lot of work to do on myself, and I'm not gonna quit trying to improve myself in some way, for the good of not only myself, but others around me. Hell, I love other people too much. I have a lot of love and empathy. I've been a natural empath for my entire life, and have actually learned how to control it pretty well, thankfully. Now if I could just QUIT NICOTINE! AAAAAH! 😆😅 That day is GOING to come!
Oh, it's actually been several years since I've dealt with actual depression. I've had other bad stuff to work out, as well. Most of it is completely gone, and the feeling of freedom is amazingly overwhelming, and I love it. Break those chains folks! It's possible! I believe in you! Fight that nastiness! Those bad thoughts aren't you. They're lies you're telling yourself. You have worth. You are loved by someone. Hell, I don't even know you, and I have a modicum of love for you. There's so much more I could say, but I'll stop there for now. Oh, I've also studied psychology on my own to try to figure out why think the way I do, and that has helped a LOT. It has helped me to not only know myself better, but to understand others better. A good understanding goes a very long way.
truthfully today is the happiest I've felt for a long time, despite spending most of it coughing my lungs out (from a cold) and thinking about my own mortality I'm not sure why, but I just felt better than normal. Nobody bothered me, I didn't belittle myself for something minor, I didn't get harassed by my brain with a flashback to something cringe I did in kindergarten. All around pretty positive time
You’re amazing. You are a great inspiration. I’m diabetic and I’m now 18st 3lbs. I haven’t been this weight since I was 12. It seems small but amazing. Everything you say rings true. I also love your voice. So kind, gentle and non judgemental. Thank you.
Being able to get out of bed is an accomplishment… I start with that! Once I get up putting myself on a routine certainly helps! Then my mind gets surrounded with my routine I forget about the anxiety/depression! I know for some it may not be that easy… but try it you might like it!
The more we each learn about mental health issues, the more humane the world becomes. I've struggled with mental health issues since I was very young, & it's always shocked me that so few people understand mental/emotional issues. The knee jerk reaction to someone showing signs of mental/emotional issues is usually anger and/or minimizing ("you have nothing to be sad about!", "you just want attention - you're a drama queen", "you'll be ok - you're just having a bad day", "you just have to pull yourself up by your bootstraps", etc.). I'm thrilled that this is finally changing, & this channel is a big part of that. Thank you, & keep up the good work... ☮💚🌸
I had a hard depression last fall. I think im over it, I often fall back into that time and can't stand up anymore, can't eat or brush my teeth. But I finally don't have to take pills anymore. Those Pills were like drugs. It still hurts to see people who are self-diagnosed or making online quizzes if they have depression. If u feel depressed or down its okay. But you dint have depression. Much Love to people who are in or over it
I've been feeling lost mentally recently. No energy, feeling like all I do is work, try and fail to sleep, and work again, barely eating one meal a day. I told myself I need to start making time for those I care about at the very least and I'll start further improvement from there. I just spent 4 hours helping my dad clean our yard. Normally after the first few hours I'm complaining that I want to stop or that I'm too tired, but today every time I felt like quitting or stopping for the day I told myself "your not doing work, no one is forcing you to do this, your MAKING time for your dad and he is grateful for it. Just a little longer." And I honestly started to enjoy working with him. I'm proud of my accomplishment. I had a geography teacher that was always trying to inspire us in class (every Friday he would share some inspirational quote or story that he found) but the one line I remember most is. "Good, good morning. It's a great day to be alive, beautiful day out there today. BEST (insert current date here) EVER." he would say this even if there was a storm outside and when people brought this up he would respond with. "Awesome free car wash." I miss that teacher.
I can't say enough about your videos and how they have helped me. For the first time I've been able to feel normal about not being OK. People can't understand how if you are successful and smart that you still struggle with being depressed. You have kept me motivated to keep working at it no matter what the external results are. Several of your items I was doing on my own just out of chance. Although cool to get a face to a voice I'm glad I watched a most of your content first. You are strikingly beautiful and I'm sure that would distract most people from the great message you convey.
I got a notification from your channel during my panic attack and oh my gosh I’m so thankful for your videos..When I’m having a panic attack and it’s to late for me to control it, having someone around is the right option but today I had no one and hearing your voice helped me so much and the message in the end of the video too…I don’t know but your videos are more helpful then my therapist, I would have no idea how to help myself in many situations..Just thank you for what you doing🤍
As someone with chronic depression and extreme anxiety, this video helped distract me from falling into my thoughts. This extreme summer weather and my extreme loneliness has gotten to me. These videos really help distract me.
Can you please talk about the psychology of children who grew up during a war. Please💔 And thanks for this beautiful channel I really like your voice❤️
Thank you for posting. Feel so alone right now, so isolated from the world. Hits me like a tsunami wave out of nowhere and feels insurmountable. Whoever reads this I hope you are getting better, I really do. We must continue to actively try ti get better. I won’t quit trying because one day I will feel better and so will you
Dysthymia is much like depression. Mine is just long durations of feeling blah and zero motivation. Feels like constant sadness. Remind yourself through hard times, "you are not alone. Others go through this too." I have spent too much time alone and the idea of being around people gets me nervous and emotional. My advice, don't wait. Talk to someone you trust.
I have situational depression and am desperately stuck in a rut. I cannot break out of it because too much time has passed and I have missed my chance to live the life I would have liked. Tips like those featured in the video help in the short term, but long term, I cannot ever see myself breaking out of it :(
Vid #2 of trying to request a video highlighting the following topics: 1. What you can do if you can't access therapy. 2. Signs your therapist might be harming rather then helping your mental health. 3. What to do in life situations that a therapist cannot fix.
This video had me in tears last night. I'm diagnosed as depressed and whilst this tips are incredibly useful, it highlights areas which I have neglected. The realisation that tomorrow is not condemned to be the same as today. ❤ Try to be kind to each other, and yourself. I love this animator and their style. ❤
Hey everyone! I have anxiety and depression for a while and i feel like i started to overcome it. Read this if you think it might help: I am taking therapy for years now but i am seeing a physchiatrist for three monts and i am taking pills for 3 months. Before these three months, i didn't see any point to get out of bed, i didn't see any point why do i exist. I am a college student and i had physical classes 3 days of week. 2 days of online classes. When i went to school, i avoided my friends and professors. I tried to talk to them but when i get back home, i had anxiety attacks. That's when my therapist thought i should take extra help. I thought i was trying to get better but i now realized, i was just fooling myself. I started to take pills but i didn't believe it would work because i still felt like i would overcome this dungeon in my mind. It become so bad, that i couldn't take it anymore. I think that's when i really wanted to get better. Since then, i am trying to sleep at night(my sleeping schedule is horrible), i try to see the sun, i look around more. I try to appreciate life. I take some summer classes and i need to go school twice a week. I made a friend there. Not just someone to say hello to. I decided to not hate myself. I don't want to see this girl. I want to see a confident woman who impresses everyone. So i started to make more effort for my self care. I feel better with these thoughts. I am not 100% cured but at least i can see an improvement, a light end of the tunnel. I'm not saying if you do these things you will feel better too. One of the other things was to read comments under these videos and how people change their situation. Maybe this might help you too. Much love and hugs to everyone ♡♡
Im pretty sure everyone will love you! U just need to be confident of who you are. Coming from someone who passed school quite good even tho I am anxiously awkward, all u need to do is select the people u feel comfortable with and not feel that y need to be selected. Take ur time in choosing ur people and Im sure you will be okay ❤
Thank you. I am thankful to your sharing and I cried after watching it. I am so glad that I am actually doing the steps that you have shared. I have been suffering from depression for years and it worsened due to 2 traumas exploding right in front of me this year. Anxiety attack and terminal insomnia for this 8 months are pure hell for me. I was just penning my sucidial note yesterday in my head. Suicidal thoughts are very real and I have to constantly check out for triggers. Through Ur sharing , I realised that I am trying my very best and be very gentle with myself.
Thanks to Psych2Go I managed to realize that I was not ok, accept I have several signs of anxiety and depression and be able to start (though slowly) my healing journey... There's no way I can thank you all enough. Also, Amanda, thanks for looking right into our souls every time you pop to say hi, it makes me feel seen and supported!
I just got diagnosed with anxiety and depression last week. This video is a huge help with dealing with the thoughts I’ve been experiencing for so many years. Thank you for your content :)
Thank you Psych2go. I've been fighting mental health issues alone since no one really cared and I'm a lot happier now. Not everyone gets to talk to a therapist
Being depressed is a huge struggle for people like me. I was depressed and lonely for 3 years now and no good things never happened to me for once. Nothing. I do have families and friends that I always care about honestly. But there is one special puzzle piece that I need in my life which is still out there for me and it's really hard to find. Most artists, gamers and everyone else has one but not me. it's just not fair these days for me. They have a special puzzle piece in their life everyday but not me. I still don't know what the last puzzle piece means for me and trying to solve it. Right now, nothing turn up for me yet. I'm just a unhappy artist and gamer online who is trying to do better for myself and still trying so hard to do so. No good things never happened to me when your lonely. I wish I shouldn't exist in this dimension.😞
I can't imagine living in a large city, where stepping outside means onto a busy street lined with tall concrete structures and thousands of people scrambling about. What a nightmare!
Of course, even when I'm 75yrs old I'll keep watching psych2go videos as it lifts me up in the worst times of my life. Just yesterday I added a comment that I was having a bad day but as usual I'll always come to watch these videos and the next moment I'm feeling better. To all those who may be suffering from depression, you are wonderful and very strong to have come this far. Giving up and falling into the hands of suicide is the last option as having suicidal thoughts is only for cowards. Remember once again your are wonderful. As for Psych2go, I'll remain alive to keep adding my lovely support in any possible way I can because I like people who add value to the society. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ And many thanks 👍 to Psych2go.
All good but why suicide for cowards? Ok is the last option, but for doing it, need courage and be brave enough. Or at least, that work for me maybe anyone feel different
I’ve been. Diagnosed with severe major depressive disorder and PTSD. Everyday I tell myself I’m a victor not a victim. I appreciate the small things. A warm breeze. A butterfly. Being able to feel a soft cat or dog. Remember that whatever you feel or do it matters.
These are really nice and cute videos that used to help me stay on track. At this point, it feels like I’m too far gone though. I am too blinded by my pain to give any of the ideas in these videos a real place in my heart or mind. Thanks to everyone who tried/tries.
I really needed to hear what said at the end. I appreciate you, my friend. As well as everyone else dealing with depression as I do. I am currently in recovery at a rehab because of my depression.
I'm clinically diagnosed with depression. My family wants to help me, but they also don't really help. I don't take good care if myself, and they beat me down for it. They tell me I smell terrible, and don't tell me how I can fix it. (I do know how to fix it, but they just beat me up emotionally for it) they also tell me that I haven't been doing good in school, but they know I have trouble with it. They make me do more work if I miss one day. It honestly makes me even more depressed when they do this. I laugh it off in front of them, but I actually hate it so bad. An my anxiety won't let me tell them that they ar hurting me.
You have a great opportunity as a pre-teen with knowledge enough to know that there might be a problem. Most of us just figure that we are weird and don't seek help early. Talk to your school counselors. Talk to your parents and tell them what is going on. Don't stop talking. Get the help you need. Don't end up a screwed-up adult. You are so smart.
The biggest thing that helped me was getting my anger and frustration and depression was taking it out on myself at the gym. In a strange way it helped me feel better and in more control of my life. The physical pain helped with the emotional pain.
_"have you been feeling down lately?"_ Me: yes! This is why I watching your channel, since 2 months ago I feel worthless, this year is my graduating year, jobless, and everyday I try to applying vacancy, join bootcamp, googling & youtubing about skill that I want to good at it. Honestly, I never interested with psychology related channel before my graduation, but when I experienced it, I feel helpless, so helpless, and idk to manage that feeling. But one by one I watch your videos (and another channel too), that "helpless / worhless feeling" slowly disappears, yeah slowly, not instant. Then my journey to psychology jargons begin, adhd, anxiety, mbti, etc, I learn a lot at that times, now "that feeling" is still lurking, but at least its never be the same again than when I was yet to watch this channel videos. Thanks ♥ (Soory my bad english)
Your English is fine. You were able to say what you wanted to say. That is what language is for. Keep trying. There is a place for you. I care about you.
Lately, university been so challenging to me, so much homework, so strict rules, so tired, my grades have dropped, feeling paralysed and overwhelmed. Most of the times, I feel like i cant control myself, it took me a tremendous amount of will to get off my phone, to get off watching youtube.
They looked forward to that moment with joy, but without haste, not pining for it, but seeming to have a foretaste of it in their hearts, of which they talked to one another. But when they looked at me with their sweet eyes full of love, when I felt that in their presence my heart, too, became as innocent and just as theirs, the feeling of the fullness of life took my breath away, and I worshipped them in silence. Their children were the children of all, for they all made up one family.
#3 is a big one, oftentimes depression is caused not just by a traumatic event, but from the thoughts associated with that event that you carry forward into the present & the future. Similar to how a severe injury might not hurt that much at first, but then the pain gets worse and worse the more you think about it while you're sitting at home recovering.
Thank you so much for the message at the end, I really needed somebody to tell me that face to face, even if it wasn’t really in person- it felt so personal I started to cry I’ve been going through a really deep depression during the summer and today and yesterday we’re just days I decided I didn’t want to do anything and just not come out of my room for anything- thank you, truly.
I have been in school during quarantine and when it started I didn't have any friends so I couldn't call or text anyone, I was stuck at home with my parents and siblings (who were working and also doing school). And in the first year of Covid nobody knew how to deal with it,and the school wasnt able to prepare for any of this either, so I was stuck doing online assignments (the least i got was seven a day) with no guidance from a teacher. The next year wasn't much better we had zoom calls but other than that it was the same. And when we were able to go back to real school it was worse. Quarantine had a huge impact on my social abilities so I went in extremely shy and having trouble talking to everyone, even the teachers. And with a group of young children going into class for the first time in years, it was a disaster everyone being loud and disrupting class. I was sad and I was alone constantly wishing for a friend. Some nice people decided to talk to me and play with me, but because of me not being around people for 2 years and so bottled up with emotions I ended up totally disrespecting them by either not responding or staying away from them. But even after all of that those people I rudely disrespected kept following me around and talking to me. And eventually they became my friends, and those moments I spent with the same people I were so rude to because I was sad and not used to being around people, became the highlights of my entire school year.
It's so important that we take care of our own needs without sacrificing our well-being to satisfy and please others. When you can, take breaks if need to, meditate, take a walk and be kind to yourself for the practice of self-care. Do whatever makes you feel that inner peace and calmness that's needed for your mental health and overall well-being. 💙RUclipsr That Helps People Overcome Toxic Relationships
Thank you for this video. I've had depression since I was a kid. But didn't know it till I got older. Going outside really does help. I need to go outside a lot more then I do. I stay in the house most of the time. I keep to myself most of the time. I'm going to try that thought process. I like the "Is this true or false" question. I will ask myself that question a lot.
This was indeed helpful--as are most of your videos, especially the ones related to depression (me), TBI (also me), narcissism (I've had multiple exposures), ADHD (my current partner), and schizophrenia (a close family member).
For the first time ever since I am watching your chanel I had a feeling like that episode was made especially for such a person like me. I remember ,that lately when I was feeling super bad about myself and my life I've asked you to make an episode like that. Thank you so much! AND you made me aware, that in some very small ways I am fighting for myself already, but I was not aware of it and even when I was, I,m forgetting it so often while feeling bad. Anyway I appreciate A LOT your kindness here and time spent to record this.
When I was diagnosed with depression recently, I was told I don't deserve to be depressed because I haven't really suffered. I was told people have it worse than me. I'm convinced I'm just being dramatic. I should just be happy. They convinced me to fake my happiness until it's real.
Thanks for the help. I strongly believe that depression comes from suppressed emotions And over time u find yourself with no single emotion u just keep thinking and thinking which actually worsen the depression itself . When we are depressed we don’t feel alive but why? I think because we’re engaged with our thinking all the time Subconsciously we avoid emotions by thinking endlessly So the key here is to get along with your true self that has been abused( even tho it might doesn’t seem hurting at all right now) But it’s there I promise and you have to try to feel it.
This video came at a good time. Around this time of the year I get depressed and it does get better until the spring or summer. Before it gets worse I'm going to try to prepare by taking my medication, cleaning my room, and printing out my coping list
You had a video about intelligent people and I know im intelligent but I think because of this I criticize myself into depression. My feelings self esteem and social problems get worse and worse. Because of this I want to THANK you so much this really helps
There's a difference between being clinically depressed, and feeling depressed. What advice would you share with someone who's feeling depressed? Comment below what helped.
Numero uno :)
I honestly dont know I feel like I’m going through depression. I’m not diagnosed but I feel like it
First figure out why as the reasons can be hard to find, maybe is an especific thing or a mix of them. Also in my case I always wait till I feel better to try and change my mentality or my life because I can't if I'm depressed. Being alone and listening to music helps me think until I feel better

As someone diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety a year and a half back who went to multiple psychiatrists, and was suicidal for almost 2 months, i can say that your videos help more than professionals. I don't know if its because of your soothing voice or that you actually relate to the issues in depression rather than taking it as a career and a source of income.
Thank you so much. 🙇🏻♂️
💯
Bro I advice to consult a psychologist also, along with psychiatrist medications.. it'll really helpful.. I have being in 14 years of severe depression and anxiety. For those 14 years, couple of years ago I started to consult with psychologist.. I'm happy to say, that I have reduced almost lot of severity and depression period time after that.. but that also not enough, you have to identify yourself mainly.. hope this will help..
I agree! 💯😊
I'm proud of you for being able to voice how you feel. I, also, have severe depression and the other things you spoke of. We, the depressed, need to band together. No one can truly understand depression like a depressed person. I am very glad that you are seeking help. There are times when a person just can't walk this road of life alone. Take care of yourself. I care about you.
Well said! Thanks for your words!
Food For Thought: That’s the thing about depression: A human being can survive almost anything, as long as he/she sees the end in sight. But depression is so insidious, and it compounds daily, that it’s impossible to ever see the end.
Thats were ur wrong bucku i see the end clearly with a simple pull on the t..
That's actually very well said. I would add that a human being can survive almost anything if they know they are not alone. But, the loneliness associated with depression, or vice-versa, can make you feel so isolated that you honestly believe that no one sees or cares.
“People who have never dealt with depression think it’s just being sad or being in a bad mood. That’s not what depression is for me; it’s falling into a state of grayness and numbness.” - Dan Reynolds
Yeah the struggle definitely is real and hard, appreciate the little extra greetings in this video, thank you! ❤️☀️
Yeah...
You’ve got this you’re doing great
I was told for months by many people I believed to be my friends that I could never get better. And even my (now ex) boyfriend said things like "you're not trying hard enough" or "you aren't even trying" while I was battling severe anxiety and depression... I felt abandoned by the people who were supposed to be there when I needed them... But using the things from your videos, I was able to take to take that step outside, get a fresh perspective on my thoughts and for the first time in years I can proudly say that I am happy... And I want to thank you for everything that you do, your channel saves so many lives and I am so Grateful that I stumbled across this...
Good for you!! Keep up the great work!
i relate to you. my mother is the closest person to me, and i love her very much, but it was so painful to hear that she thinks i’m just lazy, that i’m pretending and my illness (which she doesn’t believe i have) is only in my head and i’m making everything up. just yesterday after hearing all of that i lost all of my will to live, because i felt so alone in the world where no one understands and believes me, not even those closest to me, so i decided to just stop eating and drinking, and die from dehydration. i lasted for two days (and i heard that you only need 3 days without water to die), then was talked out of it. today i heard all things from yesterday again, so i cut my wrists, but was talked out of it again, she said she loved me and all of that, but she still thinks all those things about me. i started to eat and drink again, but i’m not feeling too great right now, as everything seems meaningless and i don’t want to wake up tomorrow, despite the fact that i’ve started taking my meds again. maybe they just haven’t had time to work yet, or maybe i’m just tired, since i’ve cried a lot the past few days, idk. so yeah, it’s been stressful
@@Pain_Ito I am sorry you have to go through this with so little support. Please don't hurt yourself or kill yourself! Dear Pain Ito, there are easier ways to get attention. That tells me that you are really in some trouble now. Is there anyone you can talk to? Someone who can help you find a way out of this depression? Are you in school and do they have counselors? Is there a member of your family that does support you and believe that you are depressed? You need someone close to you to care about you. Dear Pain Ito, I care. I really do. I have had my share of suicide attempts and cutting. While I don't know exactly what the problem is, I can tell you that you are not alone. Please, reach out to the Psych2Go community here.

Thank you 😊
I think it helped but when I watched it I started to think about everything that happens everyday and what if you do all of those things and you still feel depressed
as a person who has been handling EXTREME DEPRESSION for almost 1 year, I appreciate this video.
Keep on fighting. We're all gonna make it. Just keep struggling.
@@Kutomi1 , yeah the proverbial light at the end of the day. As Kendrick Lamar sang, “We Gon be alright. Do you hear me, do you feel me? We gon be alright. ”
I don't think I have depression but it's been a tough couple of years for me but we will get through this🙂
@@Kutomi1 Don't say that we are all going to make it. It sounds nice but it's just not true either. We who want to make it, will make it. The rest of us will die a slow and excruciating mental (and then physical) death. Look at the statistics. We who make it have to fight hard every single day of our lives and there never seems to be a day where anything comes naturally, or easy. Some of us will live, and some of us will die. That is a fact and life does not get any easier for denying the facts. Life is all about attitude, I'll give you that.
@@evanpaluch6190 Well yeah, of course. You're not gonna overcome anything if you don't try. But everyone has the chance to try and keep trying, it's our choice. A lot of people just need some encouragement to believe that they can try. Positivity does at least help a little.
I am someone who has tried healing. I'm in boarding school, something that limits my access to self care facilities. I've been making so much progress lately but sometimes I get these periods of overwhelming sadness and I get worried that I'm slipping. To anyone going through this, you are not slipping! Setbacks happen time and time but that only proves how human you are. Take a step back, relax a little and figure out what went wrong. If I, the weakest mf has been able to push through all these months, you definitely can! :)
Your not weak!! Your in a battle you didn’t ask for and trying to fight through it !! Your a soldier🙏💪 and that’s the mighty truth!!!
@@sandycares2995 you really do care... thank you :)
Sandy Cares is right. A truly weak person could never survive this. You are working to be able to get better. That is more than most people do.
You may describe yourself as someone who is weak, but, it would be a fallacy to say it in the superlative, as you do not and cannot know whether you truly are for a fact the weakest member amongst all in this category of people. Moreover, you surely cannot be weak if you kept on persistently plodding through your plight in spirit of fortitude and perseverance, because you definitely would have had surrendered a long while ago if it were to happen that you truly had been a weak individual. For he who is truly weak would not show any ability to survive even the gentlest of battles, nor endure the mildest storms.
Weakest mf? You sound like a growing, strengthening badass! Keep at it! 😊🌻
I’ve struggled with depression for a few years now, and even though I’m doing a lot better, this is still really helpful for my off days. I just want to say how touched I was at the end when you seemed genuinely choked up about the subject. I can tell how much you care about the mental health of your viewers. Remember, guys, it’s the little things that are going to get you through this, so just take it one step at a time and stay safe ❤️
Thanks for this…. After failing college math for the 5th time trying to get my associates degree for Graphic Design I’ve just felt defeated because of how close I was to finally being done with college only to fail graduating alongside my friends because of math.
Failing the math class by 1% didn’t help much either. It broke me… because I spent nearly $2000 alone trying to pass math over the years. Every other general class I overcame, but Math has always been my weakness.
Thankfully the advisor came through, and offered an alternative Math I don’t have to waste money on.
Given all the mental stress I’ve dealt with over the years with college I’m taking a break to gather myself and then finally be done with the godforsaken thorn in my side that’s been Math.
Videos like this build me back up and offer helpful advice, and I can’t thank you enough for what you’ve done over the years. Wish you all the best, and hope this video helps others.
I failed college algebra 3 times. I had to pass it to get my Bachelor's degree. I decided to take the class as a pass/fail so that it wouldn't hurt my grade point. I passed it and my teacher asked why I took it as a pass/fail. When I told her that math was my weak subject, she was shocked. She then told me that I was great at math, I just had bad teachers. Now that you are taking a bit of time off, go online and work on your math skills. You can do this. You really can, you just had poor teachers.
I've been fighting depression and anxiety from my foot surgery. My insurance was dropped at the same time I was supposed to start physical therapy, so I've been trying to handle therapy on my own. I've reached a dead-end where I know I'm trying, but I feel like I'm not getting any closer to being able to work on my feet again. It is so hard not to give up. I've found that talking to friends helps. Before I say this, just know I'm talking about my personal experiences and not saying everyone needs to do this, but I started going to church and that was my saving grace to keep me motivated. It doesn't have to be church. Find something fun to do with others and it'll help.
I recommended your videos to my therapist. He now shows his patients your videos. Thank you.
Remarkable person reading this.. It’s going to get better; all it is a season of opportunity to grow and be better than before. Challenging times are meant to strengthen us, not to break us. Success doesn’t define to what happened to us; it is how we choose to deal with our circumstances. The more you grow and develop as an incredible person as you are, the more things will change for the better. Forgive more (for you), be grateful for even the smallest things (we have it way better than someone else), choose love over ego, choose humility over ego (humility is strength), and finally, invest into new skills so that your future self will thank you. Our lives will change forever the more we grow. Be thankful for the challenges for we know something greater is coming. Love you always - Nathalie ✨❤️

Same for me too
I wish it helped me, nothing seems to phase me anymore
These suggestions and even the thoughts, make me even more clear on how helplessly things are going to end. I think I need help. I would love to somehow send you my story, and I do find writing as the only positive outlet I have left, just to tell someone at least what has happened and how I'm struggling to handle waking up every day. I don't have anyone else that I can confide in about these things.
The people here in the comments are usually kind to each other as we realized that we are the depressed, traumatized, screwed-up (sorry that one is me)people who Psych2Go is talking to. Most of us are walking the same version of each other's road. So, you are safe here. Be cautious, but we will encourage you and care for you.

As a psychology student I truly appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos. I hope to become a therapist one day to help people struggling with mental health just like your channel has been doing for years now. ❤❤
Finally finished the video, and had to stop and cry for five minutes. Thank you, thank you so much. I've saved this video so I can look into your eyes and hear your words of love and compassion every time I feel alone and helpless. Bright Blessing on you, you beautiful soul 💚💚
What helps me when It comes to depression is to be aware of the good things in life. Is it a beautiful tree with bright green leafs or a flower. I try to think
about the beautiful things I see on my way to work to cherish me up. It's hard to accept the fact that I am depressed right now, but I tell me everyday "I am depressed right now and that's OK. It's OK that I feel bad, it won't last forever. I am who I am and that's good and I love myself for who I am". At the end of a day I write down my highlights may it be a kind e-mail from my colleague or a client or even a smile I get walking by a stranger. It's hard to see the good things in life but it worth to be reminded. Thank you so much for your videos!
Wow! I dealt with depression for ten years, without professional help, and did practically all of this. It's mostly the fight in me, that I've never lost, that lead me to naturally gravitate towards these activities. Wow, this just makes me even more proud of myself.
My thinking was,"there's people that care about you. Are you gonna let this beat you, or are you gonna beat it? Fight those dark thoughts. What do you need to do to help yourself fight them? Do this. Do that. Do you feel better? Yes. Push on. You can beat it." More or less. I could possibly add more, but I think that pretty well sums it up. I just did my best to constantly try to find the positive, and to just be more positive, but guarded, and now I'm an extremely happy pragmatic optimist, like as of around a week and a half ago. Also, I did my best to not be negative towards others. I still struggle with that a bit, but I'm working on it, and am about to actually start going to therapy with my wife. We both need it, and at this point she needs it more than I do. A lot of things have fell into proper place for me, and I'm in a great place in my mind. She is still a very negative thinker, and that disheartens me immensely. I've been part of the problem, too. I still have a lot of work to do on myself, and I'm not gonna quit trying to improve myself in some way, for the good of not only myself, but others around me. Hell, I love other people too much. I have a lot of love and empathy. I've been a natural empath for my entire life, and have actually learned how to control it pretty well, thankfully. Now if I could just QUIT NICOTINE! AAAAAH! 😆😅 That day is GOING to come!
Oh, it's actually been several years since I've dealt with actual depression. I've had other bad stuff to work out, as well. Most of it is completely gone, and the feeling of freedom is amazingly overwhelming, and I love it. Break those chains folks! It's possible! I believe in you! Fight that nastiness! Those bad thoughts aren't you. They're lies you're telling yourself. You have worth. You are loved by someone. Hell, I don't even know you, and I have a modicum of love for you. There's so much more I could say, but I'll stop there for now. Oh, I've also studied psychology on my own to try to figure out why think the way I do, and that has helped a LOT. It has helped me to not only know myself better, but to understand others better. A good understanding goes a very long way.
truthfully today is the happiest I've felt for a long time, despite spending most of it coughing my lungs out (from a cold) and thinking about my own mortality
I'm not sure why, but I just felt better than normal. Nobody bothered me, I didn't belittle myself for something minor, I didn't get harassed by my brain with a flashback to something cringe I did in kindergarten. All around pretty positive time
Great!! Have a wonderful rest of the day!
:)
You’re amazing. You are a great inspiration. I’m diabetic and I’m now 18st 3lbs. I haven’t been this weight since I was 12. It seems small but amazing. Everything you say rings true. I also love your voice. So kind, gentle and non judgemental. Thank you.
Great timing. I'm also quite struggling here. Thank you.
Being able to get out of bed is an accomplishment… I start with that! Once I get up putting myself on a routine certainly helps! Then my mind gets surrounded with my routine I forget about the anxiety/depression! I know for some it may not be that easy… but try it you might like it!
@@sheilameyers152 that seems worth trying, I'll give it a go next time B)
Thank you for spreading positivity and giving comfort ❤️
The more we each learn about mental health issues, the more humane the world becomes. I've struggled with mental health issues since I was very young, & it's always shocked me that so few people understand mental/emotional issues. The knee jerk reaction to someone showing signs of mental/emotional issues is usually anger and/or minimizing ("you have nothing to be sad about!", "you just want attention - you're a drama queen", "you'll be ok - you're just having a bad day", "you just have to pull yourself up by your bootstraps", etc.). I'm thrilled that this is finally changing, & this channel is a big part of that. Thank you, & keep up the good work... ☮💚🌸
♡My anxiety and depression stop me from doing everything and since I can't afford therapy I have hated myself so this is super helpful! ♡
The message in the end so so worth it ❤️ Thanks means a lot
I had a hard depression last fall. I think im over it, I often fall back into that time and can't stand up anymore, can't eat or brush my teeth. But I finally don't have to take pills anymore. Those Pills were like drugs. It still hurts to see people who are self-diagnosed or making online quizzes if they have depression. If u feel depressed or down its okay. But you dint have depression.
Much Love to people who are in or over it
I've been feeling lost mentally recently. No energy, feeling like all I do is work, try and fail to sleep, and work again, barely eating one meal a day.
I told myself I need to start making time for those I care about at the very least and I'll start further improvement from there.
I just spent 4 hours helping my dad clean our yard. Normally after the first few hours I'm complaining that I want to stop or that I'm too tired, but today every time I felt like quitting or stopping for the day I told myself "your not doing work, no one is forcing you to do this, your MAKING time for your dad and he is grateful for it. Just a little longer." And I honestly started to enjoy working with him.
I'm proud of my accomplishment.
I had a geography teacher that was always trying to inspire us in class (every Friday he would share some inspirational quote or story that he found) but the one line I remember most is. "Good, good morning. It's a great day to be alive, beautiful day out there today. BEST (insert current date here) EVER." he would say this even if there was a storm outside and when people brought this up he would respond with. "Awesome free car wash." I miss that teacher.
This Made my day, Thank you so much for being there for us
I can't say enough about your videos and how they have helped me. For the first time I've been able to feel normal about not being OK. People can't understand how if you are successful and smart that you still struggle with being depressed. You have kept me motivated to keep working at it no matter what the external results are. Several of your items I was doing on my own just out of chance. Although cool to get a face to a voice I'm glad I watched a most of your content first. You are strikingly beautiful and I'm sure that would distract most people from the great message you convey.
I got a notification from your channel during my panic attack and oh my gosh I’m so thankful for your videos..When I’m having a panic attack and it’s to late for me to control it, having someone around is the right option but today I had no one and hearing your voice helped me so much and the message in the end of the video too…I don’t know but your videos are more helpful then my therapist, I would have no idea how to help myself in many situations..Just thank you for what you doing🤍
Your videos are so helpful. This one came at the right time. Thank you for the care and support you share, I'm grateful 🙏🏻
I wish I could just be in psi's little world. You guys make it all look so easy.

Thank you ❤️
Shout out to all these videos that helped me pull myself out of the brink. I still struggle, but I am in a much better place than I was.
Thank you for posting. Feel so alone right now, so isolated from the world. Hits me like a tsunami wave out of nowhere and feels insurmountable. Whoever reads this I hope you are getting better, I really do. We must continue to actively try ti get better. I won’t quit trying because one day I will feel better and so will you
Honestly I never thought about what the person who did the narration sounded like but you're actually really pretty
Dysthymia is much like depression. Mine is just long durations of feeling blah and zero motivation. Feels like constant sadness. Remind yourself through hard times, "you are not alone. Others go through this too." I have spent too much time alone and the idea of being around people gets me nervous and emotional. My advice, don't wait. Talk to someone you trust.
I have situational depression and am desperately stuck in a rut. I cannot break out of it because too much time has passed and I have missed my chance to live the life I would have liked. Tips like those featured in the video help in the short term, but long term, I cannot ever see myself breaking out of it :(
Vid #2 of trying to request a video highlighting the following topics:
1. What you can do if you can't access therapy.
2. Signs your therapist might be harming rather then helping your mental health.
3. What to do in life situations that a therapist cannot fix.
This video had me in tears last night. I'm diagnosed as depressed and whilst this tips are incredibly useful, it highlights areas which I have neglected.
The realisation that tomorrow is not condemned to be the same as today. ❤
Try to be kind to each other, and yourself.
I love this animator and their style. ❤
Thank you too all the people putting in effort!
I'm not feeling depressed, and yet, I still want to watch psych2go's video
Hey everyone! I have anxiety and depression for a while and i feel like i started to overcome it. Read this if you think it might help:
I am taking therapy for years now but i am seeing a physchiatrist for three monts and i am taking pills for 3 months. Before these three months, i didn't see any point to get out of bed, i didn't see any point why do i exist. I am a college student and i had physical classes 3 days of week. 2 days of online classes. When i went to school, i avoided my friends and professors. I tried to talk to them but when i get back home, i had anxiety attacks. That's when my therapist thought i should take extra help. I thought i was trying to get better but i now realized, i was just fooling myself.
I started to take pills but i didn't believe it would work because i still felt like i would overcome this dungeon in my mind. It become so bad, that i couldn't take it anymore. I think that's when i really wanted to get better. Since then, i am trying to sleep at night(my sleeping schedule is horrible), i try to see the sun, i look around more. I try to appreciate life. I take some summer classes and i need to go school twice a week. I made a friend there. Not just someone to say hello to. I decided to not hate myself. I don't want to see this girl. I want to see a confident woman who impresses everyone. So i started to make more effort for my self care. I feel better with these thoughts. I am not 100% cured but at least i can see an improvement, a light end of the tunnel. I'm not saying if you do these things you will feel better too. One of the other things was to read comments under these videos and how people change their situation. Maybe this might help you too. Much love and hugs to everyone ♡♡
I really admire you. Considering the state of the world today, you're doing more good than just about anyone I can think of. ❤️
There are many people behind the scenes who took part in this video and this channel - not just Amanda (the voice over). But okay.
I’m crying rn bout the fact that people will probably not like me on the first day of school ( school night) and I haven’t slept.
Im pretty sure everyone will love you! U just need to be confident of who you are. Coming from someone who passed school quite good even tho I am anxiously awkward, all u need to do is select the people u feel comfortable with and not feel that y need to be selected. Take ur time in choosing ur people and Im sure you will be okay ❤
you're gonna do great man, I believe in you! Even if it's scary at first. ;v;
@@lluicgf549 today was good, i mostly hanged out with the people I used to last time.
@@disarray398 tbh it was but I still loved it
Thank you. I am thankful to your sharing and I cried after watching it.
I am so glad that I am actually doing the steps that you have shared.
I have been suffering from depression for years and it worsened due to 2 traumas exploding right in front of me this year. Anxiety attack and terminal insomnia for this 8 months are pure hell for me. I was just penning my sucidial note yesterday in my head. Suicidal thoughts are very real and I have to constantly check out for triggers.
Through Ur sharing , I realised that I am trying my very best and be very gentle with myself.
Thanks to Psych2Go I managed to realize that I was not ok, accept I have several signs of anxiety and depression and be able to start (though slowly) my healing journey... There's no way I can thank you all enough.
Also, Amanda, thanks for looking right into our souls every time you pop to say hi, it makes me feel seen and supported!
Thank you. If i weren't sick right now, i would write how much you're helping us. Words can't describe your kindness.
Thank you so much for your words at the end of the video. I needed that so very much, it was right on time. ❤
I just got diagnosed with anxiety and depression last week. This video is a huge help with dealing with the thoughts I’ve been experiencing for so many years. Thank you for your content :)
Thank you Psych2go. I've been fighting mental health issues alone since no one really cared and I'm a lot happier now. Not everyone gets to talk to a therapist
Being depressed is a huge struggle for people like me. I was depressed and lonely for 3 years now and no good things never happened to me for once. Nothing. I do have families and friends that I always care about honestly.
But there is one special puzzle piece that I need in my life which is still out there for me and it's really hard to find. Most artists, gamers and everyone else has one but not me. it's just not fair these days for me. They have a special puzzle piece in their life everyday but not me. I still don't know what the last puzzle piece means for me and trying to solve it. Right now, nothing turn up for me yet. I'm just a unhappy artist and gamer online who is trying to do better for myself and still trying so hard to do so. No good things never happened to me when your lonely. I wish I shouldn't exist in this dimension.😞
I can't imagine living in a large city, where stepping outside means onto a busy street lined with tall concrete structures and thousands of people scrambling about. What a nightmare!
Of course, even when I'm 75yrs old I'll keep watching psych2go videos as it lifts me up in the worst times of my life. Just yesterday I added a comment that I was having a bad day but as usual I'll always come to watch these videos and the next moment I'm feeling better. To all those who may be suffering from depression, you are wonderful and very strong to have come this far. Giving up and falling into the hands of suicide is the last option as having suicidal thoughts is only for cowards. Remember once again your are wonderful. As for Psych2go, I'll remain alive to keep adding my lovely support in any possible way I can because I like people who add value to the society. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ And many thanks 👍 to Psych2go.
All good but why suicide for cowards? Ok is the last option, but for doing it, need courage and be brave enough.
Or at least, that work for me maybe anyone feel different
@@sunknight5303 as you said,you need courage to pass it by because committing suicide shows you have given in to let depression way you down.
Guess I'm a coward 😔
@@imgoodkinda no you're not. You'll only be one if you end up committing the suicide eventually but if you fight it out, it shows you're strong
@@derekkennedy20 yeah ill be doing that soon
The part at the end made me cry. I’ve been feeling so alone. Thanks for these videos.
Thank you for making a cameo appearance in this video. It was nice to see your face again, Amanda, and hear some personal advice.
Really it helps
Thank you 💞
Thanks for being existing, understanding and provide us support
I’ve been. Diagnosed with severe major depressive disorder and PTSD. Everyday I tell myself I’m a victor not a victim. I appreciate the small things. A warm breeze. A butterfly. Being able to feel a soft cat or dog. Remember that whatever you feel or do it matters.
Thank you so much for this. It helps a lot. i've been struggling with mental health so you guys have been helping me. thank you, alot!
These are really nice and cute videos that used to help me stay on track. At this point, it feels like I’m too far gone though. I am too blinded by my pain to give any of the ideas in these videos a real place in my heart or mind. Thanks to everyone who tried/tries.
your videos help me a lot and i have realized many things because of your channel, thank you psych2go!
This was needed today. Thank you. ❤️
I really needed to hear what said at the end. I appreciate you, my friend. As well as everyone else dealing with depression as I do. I am currently in recovery at a rehab because of my depression.
@@hazimking8906 thank you so much, do you have discord? Or anything?
@@hazimking8906 I have Instagram but I just downloaded it a few days ago so I'm still new to it.
@@hazimking8906 I thought I posted my username. It's AngelusAngel1100.
The video is so helping and true and the best part was the last 2 mins of it it rly made me happy and better
I'm clinically diagnosed with depression. My family wants to help me, but they also don't really help. I don't take good care if myself, and they beat me down for it. They tell me I smell terrible, and don't tell me how I can fix it. (I do know how to fix it, but they just beat me up emotionally for it) they also tell me that I haven't been doing good in school, but they know I have trouble with it. They make me do more work if I miss one day. It honestly makes me even more depressed when they do this. I laugh it off in front of them, but I actually hate it so bad. An my anxiety won't let me tell them that they ar hurting me.
This video is so timely for me, let alone soothing in a time of anxiety. I appreciate your focus on positivity.
I'm not even a teen yet and I'm already going through, this your videos help me so much and I'm so grateful for it. Thank you so so so much
You have a great opportunity as a pre-teen with knowledge enough to know that there might be a problem. Most of us just figure that we are weird and don't seek help early. Talk to your school counselors. Talk to your parents and tell them what is going on. Don't stop talking. Get the help you need. Don't end up a screwed-up adult. You are so smart.
The biggest thing that helped me was getting my anger and frustration and depression was taking it out on myself at the gym. In a strange way it helped me feel better and in more control of my life. The physical pain helped with the emotional pain.
_"have you been feeling down lately?"_
Me: yes! This is why I watching your channel, since 2 months ago I feel worthless, this year is my graduating year, jobless, and everyday I try to applying vacancy, join bootcamp, googling & youtubing about skill that I want to good at it.
Honestly, I never interested with psychology related channel before my graduation, but when I experienced it, I feel helpless, so helpless, and idk to manage that feeling. But one by one I watch your videos (and another channel too), that "helpless / worhless feeling" slowly disappears, yeah slowly, not instant.
Then my journey to psychology jargons begin, adhd, anxiety, mbti, etc, I learn a lot at that times, now "that feeling" is still lurking, but at least its never be the same again than when I was yet to watch this channel videos. Thanks ♥
(Soory my bad english)
Your English is fine. You were able to say what you wanted to say. That is what language is for. Keep trying. There is a place for you. I care about you.
Thank you for the few sentences in the end of the video. It was so deep for me that it made me cry.
Lately, university been so challenging to me, so much homework, so strict rules, so tired, my grades have dropped, feeling paralysed and overwhelmed.
Most of the times, I feel like i cant control myself, it took me a tremendous amount of will to get off my phone, to get off watching youtube.
Stay strong mate ❤️
@@seemranhoro thanks
I finally get to see who's behind the beautiful calming voice😊..Thank you for the work you do and effort you put in.👏
I feel like I beat depression after I started watching this channel, thanks Psych2Go
They looked forward to that moment with joy, but without haste, not pining for it, but seeming to have a foretaste of it in their hearts, of which they talked to one another. But when they looked at me with their sweet eyes full of love, when I felt that in their presence my heart, too, became as innocent and just as theirs, the feeling of the fullness of life took my breath away, and I worshipped them in silence. Their children were the children of all, for they all made up one family.
#3 is a big one, oftentimes depression is caused not just by a traumatic event, but from the thoughts associated with that event that you carry forward into the present & the future. Similar to how a severe injury might not hurt that much at first, but then the pain gets worse and worse the more you think about it while you're sitting at home recovering.
Thank you so much for the message at the end, I really needed somebody to tell me that face to face, even if it wasn’t really in person- it felt so personal I started to cry I’ve been going through a really deep depression during the summer and today and yesterday we’re just days I decided I didn’t want to do anything and just not come out of my room for anything- thank you, truly.
I have been in school during quarantine and when it started I didn't have any friends so I couldn't call or text anyone, I was stuck at home with my parents and siblings (who were working and also doing school). And in the first year of Covid nobody knew how to deal with it,and
the school wasnt able to prepare for any of this either, so I was stuck doing online assignments (the least i got was seven a day) with no guidance from a teacher. The next year wasn't much better we had zoom calls but other than that it was the same. And when we were able to go back to real school it was worse. Quarantine had a huge impact on my social abilities so I went in extremely shy and having trouble talking to everyone, even the teachers. And with a group of young children going into class for the first time in years, it was a disaster everyone being loud and disrupting class. I was sad and I was alone constantly wishing for a friend. Some nice people decided to talk to me and play with me, but because of me not being around people for 2 years and so bottled up with emotions I ended up totally disrespecting them by either not responding or staying away from them. But even after all of that those people I rudely disrespected kept following me around and talking to me. And eventually they became my friends, and those moments I spent with the same people I were so rude to because I was sad and not used to being around people, became the highlights of my entire school year.
It's so important that we take care of our own needs without sacrificing our well-being to satisfy and please others. When you can, take breaks if need to, meditate, take a walk and be kind to yourself for the practice of self-care. Do whatever makes you feel that inner peace and calmness that's needed for your mental health and overall well-being.

I can’t express even to this day how helpful this video is. Thank you so much, and I hope everyone else is doing okay these days ❤
I love your videos and its so nice to watch these at night chilling in my room ❤️❤️
Thank you for this video. I've had depression since I was a kid. But didn't know it till I got older. Going outside really does help. I need to go outside a lot more then I do. I stay in the house most of the time. I keep to myself most of the time. I'm going to try that thought process. I like the "Is this true or false" question. I will ask myself that question a lot.
This was indeed helpful--as are most of your videos, especially the ones related to depression (me), TBI (also me), narcissism (I've had multiple exposures), ADHD (my current partner), and schizophrenia (a close family member).
For the first time ever since I am watching your chanel I had a feeling like that episode was made especially for such a person like me. I remember ,that lately when I was feeling super bad about myself and my life I've asked you to make an episode like that. Thank you so much! AND you made me aware, that in some very small ways I am fighting for myself already, but I was not aware of it and even when I was, I,m forgetting it so often while feeling bad. Anyway I appreciate A LOT your kindness here and time spent to record this.
I once was depressed and didn't think that would make it
But hear i am i made it
When I was diagnosed with depression recently, I was told I don't deserve to be depressed because I haven't really suffered. I was told people have it worse than me. I'm convinced I'm just being dramatic. I should just be happy. They convinced me to fake my happiness until it's real.
Thanks for the help.
I strongly believe that depression comes from suppressed emotions
And over time u find yourself with no single emotion u just keep thinking and thinking which actually worsen the depression itself .
When we are depressed we don’t feel alive but why? I think because we’re engaged with our thinking all the time
Subconsciously we avoid emotions by thinking endlessly
So the key here is to get along with your true self that has been abused( even tho it might doesn’t seem hurting at all right now)
But it’s there I promise and you have to try to feel it.
This video came at a good time. Around this time of the year I get depressed and it does get better until the spring or summer. Before it gets worse I'm going to try to prepare by taking my medication, cleaning my room, and printing out my coping list
You had a video about intelligent people and I know im intelligent but I think because of this I criticize myself into depression. My feelings self esteem and social problems get worse and worse. Because of this I want to THANK you so much this really helps
I think the message at the end was beautiful.
thanks, i've been depressed for a few months now and i always hide it, thanks.
