Well if it's scientifically proved, what can you say? Intelligent people tend to overthink things, and maybe that and the fact that they find it header to believe in things like God or silly traditions and feasts that make you feel happier and safer are exactly the reasons for it.
I was depressed before cell phones came out let alone smart phones... the only thing that has changed is I can look at videos about depression anytime! :)
For those who want a summary of this video: 1. Those with HFD might actually be more intelligent 2. Those with HFD might be perfectionists 3. Those with HFD might have a family history of depression 4. Those who have HFD often try to endure it without getting help 5. HFD can gradually build up, getting worse and worse over time 6. Those with HFD don't engage in normal hobbies and activities 7. Those who think they have HFD might actually be suffering from burnout 8. People with HFD might have symptoms of clinical depression 9. Those with HFD might be more creative 10. HFD is not a real clinical diagnosis
that was indeed funny lmao but as funny, as it was making sure to talk out anything that gives you stress anxiety depression or etc. stay safe and stay positive.
1. Might be more intelligent 2. Might be perfectionist 3. Family history of depression 4. Endure without getting help 5. Gradually build up, getting worst and worst. 6. Don't engage in normal activities and hobbies. 7. Suffering from burnout 8. Symptoms of clinical depression 9. Might be more creative
Tbh I don’t believe that I had HFD. Or depression in general. Although I have related to pretty much every depression video I have seen on this channel, I still refuse to believe it
Yeah I have the same thing just with my parents. It would entail having to explain why I want to see a mental health professional which is *talking about my feelings*
It’s like being in a dark room, where you’re looking for a light switch that you can’t see. Sometimes you find the switch, and it turns on, but then you fall over and turn the switch back off. But it’s a big room. It’s hard to find the light sometimes.
Sometimes it’s being in a really dim room you can barely see in, and thinking this is the light everyone’s talking about, because sometimes it goes dark.
So HFD is just a cool name to separate us from "actually depressed" people? Maybe that's why my psychiatrist treated me like an insect. She minimized all my symptoms like lack of energy, weird sleep patterns, lack of apetite, lack of joy, the constant emptiness caused by the inability to feel most emotions, unstable mood, suicidal thoughts, self-harming, etc. She diagnosed me with this "dysthymia" stuff even though I've been suffering for over 10 years and never once felt happiness in my entire life. Because I got used to it, because I learned how to live with it, because I'm useful to society, my case is not urgent. Apparently being useful and active is more important than feeling happiness. More important than being a person. It's "just dysthymia", so who cares? My life is falling apart and everyday I think of ending it all, but who cares? As long as I'm a productive member of society, it's not actually depression, it's "just dysthymia".
dysthymia is the clinical term for chronic depression. So that IS actual depression. Mood disorders come in many shapes and sizes. If she downplays your symptoms than there's something wrong with her, and you should quickly find a new psychiatrist. It's really said how many psychiatrists are bad at their job.
Also, I'm very critical of Psych2Go because sometimes the way they portray things isn't entirely correct. They are often wrong about the details, or oversimplify things. It kind of makes me angry when they get things wrong that you learn in the first semester of psychology school. Sometimes I doubt they even work with psychologists. At least not with enough of them.
"Yay I can use this term to imply I'm a genius to everyone but nobody cares that I'm stroking my ego because 'oh boy he has depression'" - this comment section
"Those with HFD often try to endure it without getting help." That hit on a different level. Feeling so messed up and damaged but never being able to talk about it because of the fear of rejection or being a burden to someone is the worst. So all you do is fighting your demons alone, acting strong and fixing others to make up for your own shortcomings. Sometimes you might give so much it leaves you completely drained but it makes you feel better in a strange way because you are holding the weight of the world so no one else has to suffer from that. It is almost like protecting everyone else by letting yourself get bruised and beaten up - completely unhealthy but utterly satisfying.
no one/nothing cares how you feel. you gotta learn to live with it. just the way life goes, humans are instinctively selfish and it’s destructive but it’s not for us to change.
Kade right... empathy must be foreign to you then. Not sure how this became a statement on humanity, but quite frankly, if people wouldn’t be “realists” (not saying that facts aren’t important) and take a minute to be charitable to others, then the “truth” of humanity becomes good, not bullshit excuses not to care about others because “humans are naturally destructive”. Fuck that shit, I help others as much as possible, I donate to charity, I go to the nearby soup kitchen, I give complements to people I don’t know, all to make humanity a little better, so why not take personal responsibility and do the same. This isn’t a reply SPECIFICALLY to you, but to anybody who thinks as you do. Just to clarify the purpose of my initial comment, (in case anyone brings that up) it was to emphasize that in the current educational system, nobody cares how you’re doing, they care about the numbers. I will keep focused on the numbers, and be successful. Have a good day :)
ZeldashR You go to nearby soup kitchens to make YOU feel better about yourself. You donate to charity and compliment people to make you see yourself as a “good person”. It all boils down to your own personal benefit. Very bleak mindset to adopt but it keeps our species moving
Kade No my friend, I donate and do these things to help others, which In turn makes me feel better because I like helping others. That is how humanity could be if people took personal responsibility and didn’t claim it’s an innate human issue that is causing people to be assholes thereby giving them an excuse to be an asshole. Do not assume selfishness in motive 100% of the time. Otherwise you are part of the problem.
@@kade1348 well thats the cold truth but it is for us to make the choice to lose a part of yourself and just comply with this world that you dont like instead of picking up your own balls and making a change
I had HFD since 2nd grade. It slowly turned into clinical depression. Now I'm still suffering from it. For 5 years I've already been going to a psychiatrist. I'm 14 years old now and I'm still fighting it. If anybody sees this and feels the same, just know that it gets better when you get help. It's nothing to be ashamed of. You all can do it! Let's all live happy together, even if you don't see that it's getting better now.
Twisty Freshness bravo to you for getting help and reaching out. You’re so right in that there’s no shame. We can deal with it and be happy as we can. One day at a time. All the best to you!
Do you know the origin(s) of your depression? If yes that's great you can work on it. If not, try to think logically. Then, say to yourself that death isn't the solution. Future can be changed from steps and decisions you make. Learn from mistakes or problems, think about yourself before others, if they insult you, ignore them, you have the right to say that what they say is subjective. Only you can decide of your future. Flaws are parts of humans, they made what you are. Think about your strengths, if you have none, create them, develop them and improve yourself. What you want won't come to you if you don't make a move. Good luck.
I have a feeling I might have HFD, or some sort of depression. I don't want to diagnose myself, I just want to find a way to pinpoint what my problems is with a mental disorder or something. I wish I can ask someone for help. And I can, my boarding school has like five counselors I can talk to. But it's terrifying. (I have a thing where I get nervous asking for things I might need or want). Will I waste their time? Am I being too selfish? My two roommates have depression. What if theirs is worse than mine and I need to suck it up and be there for my friends instead of focusing on my own problems? It sucks. But hey, you get used to it after a while. Edit: So basically, I tried a lot of things to help this. But I'm a coward, man. I can't go up to somebody and ask for things. It's even difficult to tell and employee at a fast food place I didn't get my food. I thought I was alright when I was blessed with my roommates. I felt alright. The negative energy disappeared. I felt it everywhere, especially with the history of this school. So many people were murdered and raped... It's crazy. But suddenly, it started coming back. It always happens. Just when I think I'm free from these feelings, it eventually returns to bite me in the ass. I can't open up to people. I tried telling my mom, and she only shrugged it off. I tried telling my friends, but they ended up telling their stories about how depressed they were and I realized it was hopeless. I'm alone. Well, of course I'm not but still. I had 4 long torturous years of self deprication and living with this thing. It either grows or depletes. I'm at the point where I'm desperate for help. I'm sure you guys have it worse than me, and I'd love to help! Maybe it'll make me feel better? Usually when I help my friends feel better, I feel better. It feels like I understand them, and their weird energy rubs off on me. It's a temporary relief. I even took up running these last couple years. I suck, but it helps. I may not be the fastest, but I try. I like the feeling it gives me when I run. I guess I'll just have to focus on the positive, and try to do something about this, but there will be times when nothing will work. But that's life right? We won't be able to learn if we're happy and wise all the time. Maybe this is a blessing rather than a curse.
It sounds like you have anxiety. Anxiety is linked to overthinking. I have anxiety, and just like you I don't ask for things I want and need in fear I will be judged.
I got depression and anxiety in a young age: When I was 9 My family and I moved to a different country, and I had to move to another school. I was not very fluent in the language, for that I got bullied For being “dumb” and “a stand out” I’m not very fluent of speaking the language but I could understand every word they’re saying. That lasted for about a year until I finally cracked I realized while I was getting older..I was getting un happier..It made studying and socializing very complicated. And after the bullying incident, I got anxiety. But home was no help either. my parents always compares me to other kids and saying “I should be like them” and then those words were said very frequently and it hurt every time I hear those words. By then I got depression. Now that’s where things got out of Hand. * I worry to much yet but at the same time I don’t* I never told anyone about my disorder. But my friends eventually found out. I didn’t want them to think that *the happy girl on school* was weak and helpless. But they supported me, Im glad someone cared. I never gotten help till this day. And I’m not think of getting it either. I rather drag my self down that drag everybody else down with me. If you read the whole thing thanks for your time. :) I hope u have an amazing day,
Its kinda eerie how similar our experiences are. It's a tough thing to go through for sure. However I believe you'll find someone to talk to, whether that's online, new friends or you get closer to your current friends. Either way, I want you to know I understand how hard it's been on you and I'm proud of you for getting through it.
Your comment reminds us of this quote "Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self-esteem, first make sure that you are not, in fact, just surrounded by assholes.” ― William Gibson
My classmates usually envy me for my intelligence and scold me for not embracing it or truly liking being intelligent. I tell them that it isn't that great but nothing changes. Sometimes, I hear them talking negative about suicidal people and how those depressed people are stupid think they can waste life like that. I've been wanting to correct them, but it would be difficult to do that without tearing up and eventually telling them my situation.
Okay, I just want to clarify some stuff that was bothering me here. First off, high functioning depression usually refers to dysthymia, just because usually, with less symptoms, people have a tendency to manage better and, due to the chronic and constant nature of it, convince themselves that this is normal and fine. Secondly, dysthymia is defined as ‘usually AT LEAST two years,’ not the two to three years listed here. Unless it’s not referring to dysthymia, in which case I’m confused because there’d be too much variety to slap those numbers on. Furthermore, when dysthymia ‘progresses’ into major depression, dysthymia is still there. It just means there are episodes of more intense symptoms, or possibly even a worsening of the chronic state you’re in. That’s chronic major depression, which has sort of been absorbed into dysthymia? Either way, this is double depression which very different from just having either one singularly, and usually harder to treat. WebMD has an article on it, look up double depression if you’re interested in it. Lastly, the bit about higher intelligence is kind of weird. Firstly, when you normally hear links between intelligence and mental illness, it’s because intelligence can lead to a) ostracizing from peers, b) an inability to connect and relate well with peers, and c) more thinking and introspection which gives you a higher chance of overthinking things. You may compare yourself to others more, be more aware of any failures or flaws, or get overwhelmed with certain less productive lines of thought. What the video is talking about seems to be increased productivity, leading to a higher degree of skill and knowledge, as a coping mechanism. In other words, distracting yourself and doing more when you’re upset, leading to a higher degree of ability. I’m not sure if that counts as ‘intelligence,’ rather than just working hard, but then again, what is intelligence anyways? So yeah, if anyone read this all the way through, I hope it was informative. Have a great day, and remember, it doesn’t hurt to see a therapist if you don’t need one, but it does if you don’t when you really are in need. And hey, therapy is nice when you’re just struggling with life in general.
Totally agree with you! Lately my therapist mentioned HFD to me and put it together with dystymia. But since dystymia is described with low intensity of symptoms, I see a missing definition. I see myself rather with double depression with just playing as if I had my life pulled together. But for that state there's no name. The thing is, people see me 99% high functioning and therefore think, I can't be as depressed. Just veeery few people take my symptoms seriously and then talk about severe depression... It's confusing all this labelling...
Fact: “I’m fine” is the most common lie. If anyone here is going through this, get help and don’t be scared. It will make life a lot easier for u. Have a Great day/night! 🙂
I haven't been diagnosed with HFD, but I find it painfully accurate when I especially here that the person feels tired, guilty, restless and having suicidal thoughts. I find it really hard to accept things that are not detailed enough, or when I miss something out, I get a burnout. I don't want to diagnose myself since I'm not a therapist, but I'm visiting him/her soon, and I hope the diagnose will be accurate and treatable. Frankly, I also pray for those people that suffer from HFD are getting support from their family and friends, so they don't feel they have to deal with it on their own.
Whenever I try to explain what I'm feeling with my anxiety and depression... My mind tells me "that never happens" and as soon as I stop explaining it says "hahahaha lol yeah it did happen heehhe now no one can ever helllp youu" 😔
Perfect description of me in high school. I knew I was depressed but I never let my grades slide at all. I couldn't. My mom had driven it into my head that I needed good grades to get into a good college and I couldn't let her down no matter what.
I have depression and anxiety and I’m currently getting help, I don’t even think my big sister knows since she’s in college and isn’t around very often. I feel worthless, tired, suicidal and guilty all the time. I’m also very stressed since I’m in all honors classes. I really don’t want to disappoint anyone so I tried to hide all my feelings and lie about everything while inside I was like a building crumbling down. Inside it was like hurricane that would never end. I’m trying to get help and we are going to just start with talk therapy and if we have to, get to more restrictive things. I might have to even get medication for it. My friend has depression too and I think that if I start talking to her about my things then I’ll be a burden to her because hers might be worse than mine. People tell me all of the time, “Why are you depressed? You have such a nice life. So many people have it worse than you.” That makes me feel even worse and want to hold it in even more.
Even if someone has it worse than you it doesn't make your pain any lesser. Going to therapy is a good choice, I hope it'll help you! Next time some one asks you "why are you so depressed, you have such a nice life" tell them "that's like asking an astmathic" why do you have an asthma there's so much air around you? " Just because someone has it worse doesn't mean you shouldn't feel the way you do. Your pain is just as important as anyone else's
Talk to someone who will help you to get help, don’t look for them to be your therapist though. Sure in a bad moment get help from whomever you can. For long term real help with depression, a professional therapist is better for you and your personal relationships.
Well me too. My family know I have hfd but there’re nothing they can do about it. And we can’t effort to go to the doctor either so I just have to deal with it
And yeah if you have friends it could help a lot but sadly most of us( who have hfd) don’t have many friends because we usually are introverts or have no social skills ( probably why we’re depressed) and when you wake up in the morning and have nothing to do, that is when depression hit you, sometime you wonder why were you born, what the meaning of life, sometime you think of killing yourself but you AFRAID... not because of hurting yourself but hurting your family
1. I don’t think so but people think I’m smart 2. Yep 3. Yep 4. Yep 5. Sure has 6. Kinda (my job is art so I can’t stop) 7. Yep 8. Idk but I refuse to get help 9. I’m an artist so yeah 10. Idk I refuse to get help and I don’t wanna self diagnose The reason I’m not getting help is because I’m a child and people don’t take me seriously and I’m too scared to tell my (divorced) parents. My dad will over react and my mum will push it aside.
Talk to your school councillor to have them make a referral to a phycologist to get diagnosed. Your mom will most likely be like “Oh wait a councillor is really concerned about my child’s mental health” and then let you get a diagnosis. If you get a diagnosis try finding therapy around you, you’re a minor so it should be free. Anyway... good luck on your journey
I'm at the point where the suffering is actually the fuel for my art. That I have to feel the pain in other create something amazing. That chaotic energy is something that I just accept. It's not healthy and I know it. Somehow I feel like I have to suffer in order to succeed..
Ugggghhhh I feel this so hard....I write the best poetry quickly and easily when I'm in the thrall of an active depressive episode. Lyrics just flow out of me when I feel awful and I wish so bad that I could write something good when I'm not depressed.
When people ask me shit like “How was your day” i always say “good” because its true, my day is good, everything around me is fine. Everything internal is not
the thing is, school grades are just bulimic learning. As long as you can memorize stuff, you can just be good in school, it doesn’t necessarily correlate to intelligence
intelligence has nothing to do with grades, just because you aren't good at school, doesn't mean you arent intelligent. Albert Einstein was a horrible school student, but became one of the smartest scientists of all time. Please don't call yourself dumb.
Intellegence can be best defined in you passion if you like to talk about life or read/watch/ learn about chemistry for hours on end with time flying by. Or you have a well rounded intellegence like your average person.
New Weapons Soldier Actually, Einstien was a great school student. The idea of him being a bad school student occured because dumb people wanted to still have the chance to be smart.
I was diagnosed with this condition (dysthymia), and it directly related to my physical ailments as well. I was depressed and in pain, at a breaking point. But with the proper therapy and medication, my condition has improved.
I was diagnosed a year ago with Major Depression and Anguish Syndrome (a type of Anxiety), for me, well I knew it a long time ago, yet I didn't want to get help, as I thought I was causing troubles to those around me. I started a treatment with meds and some sessions, yet 4 months passed and without the support of my family could no longer get these meds and pay the sessions. Since then I have felt worse and worse, yet there's nothing I can do about it. Somehow, despite feeling suicidal most of the days I'm here, not sure why but, knowing there are people out there who want to help understand, to make more people aware of this mental illnesses makes me feel hopeful that if I somehow keep going soon there will be another way to help myself and others. Thank you for all your hard work, the love and If there's someone out there who's fighting too, we can do it, we are humans who deserve to live and love and so many things more. Keep on everyone.
This has opened my eyes on a whole different level. For years and years of frustration I could never pinpoint what was wrong with me, now I get it! Thanks for the video, god bless! ❤️
Idk what i have i be sad for long periods of time and feel lonely but im feel pretty happy not often but when im happy im very happy. I never want kill myself (even tho i say it alot) but i just feel like i dont/didnt wanna be born
Maybe bipolar or borderline personality disorder they have similarities but are very different. Those spikes in happiness could actually be manic episodes if it lasts for a week it is kost likely bipolar if it's more of a up and down daily it's BPD
@@holysparkbatman please don't throw these diagnoses around! They are all very serious mental issues and a manic phase does not equal being very happy! (As the words say, one is a feeling that can lead to wonderful things and one is like a rush, very overwhelming and can lead to dangerous things! )
Thank god I saw this video. I’ve been having problems with mental health but this perfectly for the most part describes how I feel. Even though I’m optimistic and a outgoing I struggle with myself a lot and I cried when I watched this. It gave me closure and im going to try to get diagnosed by a mental health specialist. I looked this up and read a few articles and I have 6/10 - 8/10 symptoms on all the articles. Thanks Psych Im genuinely thankful ❤️❤️
Rather than praying to die (I still do it from time to time), I'm just at the point when I don't think much about dying instead of trying to suicide (Still have thoughts but never attempt).
Awareness is the first step in healing. I'm "highly functioning" but "lowly living. " finding out that I had help getting here, so I'm gonna need help getting out. God, thank you for my therapist!!!
How old are you? If over 12, you can seek counseling on your own but will have to foot the bill. You can also utilize 7cupsoftea.com for free online "counseling".
LNX Draws your parents would actually be really happy that you confided in them. Maybe you could just tell the one you’re closest to at the moment. You could start by telling them like huh I haven’t been very happy at the mo so I’m trying to go to bed earlier. Then a week later again just casually bring up that you arnt feeling any happier. Hope you get the courage to tell them, don’t suffer alone ☺️
I think this may have been what Cheslie Kryst was struggling with. She was so inspiring when I saw her win Miss USA. Reaching into that position as a woman of colour, fully embracing her features. An attorney, an she worked for extra. I thought she was so inspiring.
Hey man i almost killed myself at 12 and im 15 now, i cry everynight i get pain in my head and chest but fuck getting help man. I hate seeing weakness in the people around me, but i know thats only because i despise knowing its in myself too. I feel to heavily, i cant smalltalk to people, its so much more interesting to talk about deeper subjects, when i try to talk people always desolve the conversation into small talk. Im dark and im cynical towards a lot of things. I don't know how to comfort people and im constantly trying to avoid getting too close to anybody. Well, thats me...
Domenic Lopez Zapata have you heard of Brené Brown? Because it sounds like you have. If you haven’t I would highly suggest looking her up. She has helped me through some really tough times and she might help you too. If your parents ask you about why you are following her stuff or whatever you can just say that you want to become more mature in your relationships (adults love it when you talk like you have it together, even when you don’t).

My dad has been chronically depressed for almost 30 years. He never broke down, always worked diligently. Now with 62 he finally got help. Meanwhile I suffered from burnout at age 24 and have been dealing with clinical depression ever since. It’s gotten significantly better! But I can see a fair amount of those HFD signs in my family. Doing all kinds of creative things is a huge refuge for me and I‘ve been trying to help my father getting into lighthearted creative hobbies as well. He started to bake last year - he only does one recipe and perfected it…
I was recently diagnosed with this by a psychiatrist, the process for getting help is complex because of the lack of the feeling there is something wrong. Oddly enough this video is extremely accurate.
I'm literally crying right now .. I'm high functioning and so depressed... Have been for years and developed all kinds of coping mechanisms. I'm at a braking point and need help fast... I didn't know this was a thing.... Iv been desperately surching for answers!!!! It's 4am this might have saved a life today...I think I just took my first deep breath in over 6 years..... Thank you for this..
i don’t know why i’m commenting on this video, but i want to- I very fleetingly saw a stress management school counsellor, where i told her all of my struggles, then proceeded on to analyse and justify my reaction to every single one of them. and all she could provide me with was a “you may be suffering from HFD and HFA, and your analysis is pretty damn accurate and good luck!” to put it bluntly. i can’t go to a professional to “get help” because the only way i can actually heal from this is to receive genuine, sincere compassion from someone whose able to understand/relate to me on at least on wavelength of my problematic personality and thought process. does it stem from me being an infj in a toxic environment with many thoughtless impressionable extroverts around me that just make me feel that much more lonely in a crowded room, or from the fact that i feel like i’ll never be able to understand myself or find someone that just is able to understand that much more and accept me for who i am beneath the bright and smiley surface i try my best to portray to others. the thing is- i can’t act any other way, because it’ll just make my loneliness/inability to find any semblance of similarity with almost everyone- even other infjs, more profound and prominent to myself and just deepen my own supposed “hfd”, and i can’t be “myself”- if that even exists.
I had HFD from 2010 and it slowly developed into major depression slowly after 3 years. I always felt that I kept feeling sad and didn't know what it was. I couldn't identify it in time and it lead to this worse thing that I cannot get out of today.
Family history of depression, reluctant to seek treatment, never had intimate relationships, cant bring myself to be interested in my hobbies, work my ass off for barely any pay and bust my ass at homework even though I'm constantly in a mental fog...
i feel like i’m just being dramatic. i’m not sad all the time it’s usually just at night when i’m too tired to ignore my thoughts. and i feel super attention-seeking thinking about it so i haven’t told anyone
I feel you. Have you gotten help? I'm not forcing you to reply, but do you have problems sleeping and feeling like your past achievements mean nothing to anyone? example like grade? I have no idea what going on with me too, I dunno how to express the right words to tell somebody or unsure what I feel when I think about it. But I'll be fine, I'll sort this out like I clean my room.
I think I'm having this or at least something similar for almost 10 years now. I'm not sure because I'm afraid to see a therapist. But as its stated in the video it feels like it's growing and getting worse...
Default_Shadow Even if you are afraid of seeing a therapist, it sounds like you need it if it’s getting worse. I'm just some random person but I'd recommend you see one sometime in the future. Take your time though, it’s tough...
I think it's time for u to open up to someone u trust friend/family/coworker/school/psychologist. Ur picture is creepy 😁 step into the light, we can do this!! Peace 🌟
i was on the fence if i had this or was even suffering at all then at the end when the video said “i just want to extend a big virtual hug to you and let you know that everything is going to be alright” i just absolutely bursted into tears because of this overwhelming feeling of actually being seen i don’t know anymore
After being continuously sad for about 4 years now I finally am making myself go get checked out. I've been trying to do so for a good 2 years, but I always got tired of searching for help. Funnily enough I found that little breakout of energy when I was late for one of my morning classes the other week, who knew that's when my brain decides to stick with a thing... Anyway, I don't know what I have, but I'm definitely not healthy and it took me 2 years and surpassing a complete disregard of my situation by my support network to get help, but hey, I did it, finally, hopefully this first step is gonna last me a while, so that I can stick with my hfd/dysthymia/whatever else it might be :)
@@chisaki703 hey don't worry. Thanks for asking ur question. I dunno exactly, it takes time. I guess there will be a moment you'll feel overwhelmed and instead of doing something impulsively, like harming yourself, that's the moment you decide no and call someone for help.

Ara Kim I know where you’re coming from. I believe I have been depressed my whole life, do to what I believe to be genetic depression, since my mom was also depressed her entire life. But neither of my parents ever once thought that I might by depressed or have any other mental issues. I also think they don’t care that as well. My father ignored my existence until I was 12 and my mom didn’t spend anytime with me since my brother is autistic and need constant attention.
same. i think it's probably have been 5 years for me :) but i've never tell anyone about it because i feel like i'm just overreacting and i'm afraid of what they would think if i said i might have hfd. last year my sister was diagnosed with mdd and attempted suicide, but thankfully her roommates found her before it was too late. my parents has started giving more attention to her and scheduled for an appointment with a therapist. as much as i am happy that she's getting help, it actually made me feel worse because i feel like "if nobody has ever noticed that i have depression, then it''s probably nothing" and "maybe i'm just overreacting because i'm jealous of the attention that my sister gets?" throughout the whole 5 years dealing with hfd, i've never once thought of seeking help, but now with everything that's going on with corona virus, i really want to seek for help. i'm tired of dealing with this. but it sucks more that i can't do anything about it. currently i'm just waiting for this pandemic to (hopefully) end and possibly meet with the counselors at my school? idk. but lately it's been really hard for me. idk why i decided to rant here, but it kind of feel good, since i have nobody that i can talk to anyway :)
I feel so blue every once in a while I'm afraid it could be a type of clinical depression. wish I could meet you all around a campfire so we could share our stories. best wishes from Brazil !

Well if it's scientifically proved, what can you say? Intelligent people tend to overthink things, and maybe that and the fact that they find it header to believe in things like God or silly traditions and feasts that make you feel happier and safer are exactly the reasons for it.

It’s like being in a dark room, where you’re looking for a light switch that you can’t see. Sometimes you find the switch, and it turns on, but then you fall over and turn the switch back off. But it’s a big room. It’s hard to find the light sometimes.
Sarah CP after a while your eyes adjust to the light and you think you’re ok without the light switch because you think you can see fine now
This is real
@ZemosOner please be joking...
Sometimes it’s being in a really dim room you can barely see in, and thinking this is the light everyone’s talking about, because sometimes it goes dark.
So true, except my room it's dim, cold but cosy and sometimes all I want to do is go to sleep.
So HFD is just a cool name to separate us from "actually depressed" people? Maybe that's why my psychiatrist treated me like an insect. She minimized all my symptoms like lack of energy, weird sleep patterns, lack of apetite, lack of joy, the constant emptiness caused by the inability to feel most emotions, unstable mood, suicidal thoughts, self-harming, etc. She diagnosed me with this "dysthymia" stuff even though I've been suffering for over 10 years and never once felt happiness in my entire life. Because I got used to it, because I learned how to live with it, because I'm useful to society, my case is not urgent. Apparently being useful and active is more important than feeling happiness. More important than being a person. It's "just dysthymia", so who cares? My life is falling apart and everyday I think of ending it all, but who cares? As long as I'm a productive member of society, it's not actually depression, it's "just dysthymia".
曇り空Punpun I can’t tell you how much I relate to this.
Keep fighting for your happiness i believe that someday you will find it
dysthymia is the clinical term for chronic depression. So that IS actual depression. Mood disorders come in many shapes and sizes. If she downplays your symptoms than there's something wrong with her, and you should quickly find a new psychiatrist. It's really said how many psychiatrists are bad at their job.
Also, I'm very critical of Psych2Go because sometimes the way they portray things isn't entirely correct. They are often wrong about the details, or oversimplify things. It kind of makes me angry when they get things wrong that you learn in the first semester of psychology school. Sometimes I doubt they even work with psychologists. At least not with enough of them.
It you’re psychiatrist treat you bad then stop seeing her/him you don’t that energy in your life
"This is totally me" - everyone on this video
"Yay I can use this term to imply I'm a genius to everyone but nobody cares that I'm stroking my ego because 'oh boy he has depression'" - this comment section

@@shineelove7240 haha, true.
"Those with HFD often try to endure it without getting help."
That hit on a different level. Feeling so messed up and damaged but never being able to talk about it because of the fear of rejection or being a burden to someone is the worst. So all you do is fighting your demons alone, acting strong and fixing others to make up for your own shortcomings. Sometimes you might give so much it leaves you completely drained but it makes you feel better in a strange way because you are holding the weight of the world so no one else has to suffer from that. It is almost like protecting everyone else by letting yourself get bruised and beaten up - completely unhealthy but utterly satisfying.
I totally feel you on this one. I'm so glad someone was finally able to put it into words. Thank you 🙂

No, they'd probably say "oh, please! C'mon, stop being a crybaby and man up!". Empathy is rarer than unicorns.
I think of it all the time. People would grow more insensible to other humans. Its a self preserving technique by our own biology.
r/im14andthisisdeep
Ok no lol
I’d be locked up by now lol
Do I have HFD? Probably. But my GPA doesn’t care how I feel.
no one/nothing cares how you feel. you gotta learn to live with it. just the way life goes, humans are instinctively selfish and it’s destructive but it’s not for us to change.
Kade right... empathy must be foreign to you then. Not sure how this became a statement on humanity, but quite frankly, if people wouldn’t be “realists” (not saying that facts aren’t important) and take a minute to be charitable to others, then the “truth” of humanity becomes good, not bullshit excuses not to care about others because “humans are naturally destructive”. Fuck that shit, I help others as much as possible, I donate to charity, I go to the nearby soup kitchen, I give complements to people I don’t know, all to make humanity a little better, so why not take personal responsibility and do the same. This isn’t a reply SPECIFICALLY to you, but to anybody who thinks as you do. Just to clarify the purpose of my initial comment, (in case anyone brings that up) it was to emphasize that in the current educational system, nobody cares how you’re doing, they care about the numbers. I will keep focused on the numbers, and be successful. Have a good day :)
ZeldashR You go to nearby soup kitchens to make YOU feel better about yourself. You donate to charity and compliment people to make you see yourself as a “good person”. It all boils down to your own personal benefit. Very bleak mindset to adopt but it keeps our species moving
Kade No my friend, I donate and do these things to help others, which In turn makes me feel better because I like helping others. That is how humanity could be if people took personal responsibility and didn’t claim it’s an innate human issue that is causing people to be assholes thereby giving them an excuse to be an asshole. Do not assume selfishness in motive 100% of the time. Otherwise you are part of the problem.

Tough one for me.
I had HFD since 2nd grade.
It slowly turned into clinical depression. Now I'm still suffering from it. For 5 years I've already been going to a psychiatrist. I'm 14 years old now and I'm still fighting it.
If anybody sees this and feels the same, just know that it gets better when you get help. It's nothing to be ashamed of.
You all can do it! Let's all live happy together, even if you don't see that it's getting better now.
Hold strong!!
Remember not all people are same and some care about others and wish them the best
I got mine since second grade. Now 22 and hfd is still killing me. I think it took me almost 10 years to self diagnose it.
Same. I am fighting with it for so long and i have turned 14 years old already and my depression didn't even get off. 😔😔😔
Twisty Freshness bravo to you for getting help and reaching out. You’re so right in that there’s no shame. We can deal with it and be happy as we can. One day at a time. All the best to you!
Do you know the origin(s) of your depression?
If yes that's great you can work on it.
If not, try to think logically.
Then, say to yourself that death isn't the solution. Future can be changed from steps and decisions you make. Learn from mistakes or problems, think about yourself before others, if they insult you, ignore them, you have the right to say that what they say is subjective. Only you can decide of your future.
Flaws are parts of humans, they made what you are.
Think about your strengths, if you have none, create them, develop them and improve yourself.
What you want won't come to you if you don't make a move.
Good luck.
I have a feeling I might have HFD, or some sort of depression.
I don't want to diagnose myself, I just want to find a way to pinpoint what my problems is with a mental disorder or something.
I wish I can ask someone for help. And I can, my boarding school has like five counselors I can talk to. But it's terrifying. (I have a thing where I get nervous asking for things I might need or want). Will I waste their time? Am I being too selfish? My two roommates have depression. What if theirs is worse than mine and I need to suck it up and be there for my friends instead of focusing on my own problems?
It sucks. But hey, you get used to it after a while.
Edit: So basically, I tried a lot of things to help this. But I'm a coward, man. I can't go up to somebody and ask for things. It's even difficult to tell and employee at a fast food place I didn't get my food. I thought I was alright when I was blessed with my roommates. I felt alright. The negative energy disappeared. I felt it everywhere, especially with the history of this school. So many people were murdered and raped... It's crazy.
But suddenly, it started coming back. It always happens. Just when I think I'm free from these feelings, it eventually returns to bite me in the ass.
I can't open up to people. I tried telling my mom, and she only shrugged it off. I tried telling my friends, but they ended up telling their stories about how depressed they were and I realized it was hopeless. I'm alone. Well, of course I'm not but still.
I had 4 long torturous years of self deprication and living with this thing. It either grows or depletes. I'm at the point where I'm desperate for help. I'm sure you guys have it worse than me, and I'd love to help! Maybe it'll make me feel better? Usually when I help my friends feel better, I feel better. It feels like I understand them, and their weird energy rubs off on me. It's a temporary relief.
I even took up running these last couple years. I suck, but it helps. I may not be the fastest, but I try. I like the feeling it gives me when I run.
I guess I'll just have to focus on the positive, and try to do something about this, but there will be times when nothing will work.
But that's life right? We won't be able to learn if we're happy and wise all the time. Maybe this is a blessing rather than a curse.
No is not selfish to get help, you need another support beside your friends like teacher or family or your love ones

Angel Of Death He gon find another girl and he won’t miss ya!
I got depression and anxiety in a young age:
When I was 9 My family and I moved to a different country, and I had to move to another school. I was not very fluent in the language, for that I got bullied
For being “dumb” and “a stand out” I’m not very fluent of speaking the language but I could understand every word they’re saying. That lasted for about a year until I finally cracked I realized while I was getting older..I was getting un happier..It made studying and socializing very complicated. And after the bullying incident, I got anxiety. But home was no help either. my parents always compares me to other kids and saying “I should be like them” and then those words were said very frequently and it hurt every time I hear those words. By then I got depression. Now that’s where things got out of Hand.
* I worry to much yet but at the same time I don’t* I never told anyone about my disorder. But my friends eventually found out. I didn’t want them to think that *the happy girl on school* was weak and helpless. But they supported me, Im glad someone cared. I never gotten help till this day. And I’m not think of getting it either. I rather drag my self down that drag everybody else down with me. If you read the whole thing thanks for your time. :)
I hope u have an amazing day,

Fsociety :)
My classmates usually envy me for my intelligence and scold me for not embracing it or truly liking being intelligent. I tell them that it isn't that great but nothing changes. Sometimes, I hear them talking negative about suicidal people and how those depressed people are stupid think they can waste life like that. I've been wanting to correct them, but it would be difficult to do that without tearing up and eventually telling them my situation.
Being intelligent big fumb
Me too! My classmates and teachers also does that...
U genuinely sound like every other moron who thinks he is smart.
im in the exact situation as you
calling yourself intelligent makes you sound dumb
“People with HFD are intelligent”
Me: nope I don’t have it
Okay, I just want to clarify some stuff that was bothering me here. First off, high functioning depression usually refers to dysthymia, just because usually, with less symptoms, people have a tendency to manage better and, due to the chronic and constant nature of it, convince themselves that this is normal and fine.
Secondly, dysthymia is defined as ‘usually AT LEAST two years,’ not the two to three years listed here. Unless it’s not referring to dysthymia, in which case I’m confused because there’d be too much variety to slap those numbers on.
Furthermore, when dysthymia ‘progresses’ into major depression, dysthymia is still there. It just means there are episodes of more intense symptoms, or possibly even a worsening of the chronic state you’re in. That’s chronic major depression, which has sort of been absorbed into dysthymia? Either way, this is double depression which very different from just having either one singularly, and usually harder to treat. WebMD has an article on it, look up double depression if you’re interested in it.
Lastly, the bit about higher intelligence is kind of weird. Firstly, when you normally hear links between intelligence and mental illness, it’s because intelligence can lead to a) ostracizing from peers, b) an inability to connect and relate well with peers, and c) more thinking and introspection which gives you a higher chance of overthinking things. You may compare yourself to others more, be more aware of any failures or flaws, or get overwhelmed with certain less productive lines of thought. What the video is talking about seems to be increased productivity, leading to a higher degree of skill and knowledge, as a coping mechanism. In other words, distracting yourself and doing more when you’re upset, leading to a higher degree of ability. I’m not sure if that counts as ‘intelligence,’ rather than just working hard, but then again, what is intelligence anyways?
So yeah, if anyone read this all the way through, I hope it was informative. Have a great day, and remember, it doesn’t hurt to see a therapist if you don’t need one, but it does if you don’t when you really are in need. And hey, therapy is nice when you’re just struggling with life in general.
Totally agree with you! Lately my therapist mentioned HFD to me and put it together with dystymia. But since dystymia is described with low intensity of symptoms, I see a missing definition. I see myself rather with double depression with just playing as if I had my life pulled together. But for that state there's no name. The thing is, people see me 99% high functioning and therefore think, I can't be as depressed. Just veeery few people take my symptoms seriously and then talk about severe depression... It's confusing all this labelling...
This makes more sense to me
Thanks for this! I thought the same :)
What ever you’re going through, Im here with you ruclips.net/video/8_BwXnE6fyU/видео.html 🖤🥲🤘🏽❗️🔥‼️🔥🖤
Very well written.
Fact: “I’m fine” is the most common lie.
If anyone here is going through this, get help and don’t be scared. It will make life a lot easier for u. Have a Great day/night! 🙂
At this point, ‘I’m fine’ is just shorthand for ‘I’m very much not okay but I can’t/don’t want to get into it right now/with you’
I haven't been diagnosed with HFD, but I find it painfully accurate when I especially here that the person feels tired, guilty, restless and having suicidal thoughts. I find it really hard to accept things that are not detailed enough, or when I miss something out, I get a burnout.
I don't want to diagnose myself since I'm not a therapist, but I'm visiting him/her soon, and I hope the diagnose will be accurate and treatable. Frankly, I also pray for those people that suffer from HFD are getting support from their family and friends, so they don't feel they have to deal with it on their own.
Thanks for sharing. U have such a beautiful soul. I hope and pray we all get where we need to be. Peace 🌟

Perfect description of me in high school. I knew I was depressed but I never let my grades slide at all. I couldn't. My mom had driven it into my head that I needed good grades to get into a good college and I couldn't let her down no matter what.
I have depression and anxiety and I’m currently getting help, I don’t even think my big sister knows since she’s in college and isn’t around very often. I feel worthless, tired, suicidal and guilty all the time. I’m also very stressed since I’m in all honors classes. I really don’t want to disappoint anyone so I tried to hide all my feelings and lie about everything while inside I was like a building crumbling down. Inside it was like hurricane that would never end. I’m trying to get help and we are going to just start with talk therapy and if we have to, get to more restrictive things. I might have to even get medication for it. My friend has depression too and I think that if I start talking to her about my things then I’ll be a burden to her because hers might be worse than mine. People tell me all of the time, “Why are you depressed? You have such a nice life. So many people have it worse than you.” That makes me feel even worse and want to hold it in even more.
.. don't judge yourself . hopefully the talk therapy will allow you to get things out in the open
Even if someone has it worse than you it doesn't make your pain any lesser. Going to therapy is a good choice, I hope it'll help you!
Next time some one asks you "why are you so depressed, you have such a nice life" tell them "that's like asking an astmathic" why do you have an asthma there's so much air around you? "
Just because someone has it worse doesn't mean you shouldn't feel the way you do. Your pain is just as important as anyone else's
I hear that from my dad like every time I see him
I completely understand what you're going through. I'm sorry that's happening but everything will end up okay 💕
Talk to someone who will help you to get help, don’t look for them to be your therapist though. Sure in a bad moment get help from whomever you can. For long term real help with depression, a professional therapist is better for you and your personal relationships.
Watching after Cheslie Chryst committed suicide...
I think I'm seriously depressed and I don't know why I just feel empty
I'm sorry you feel this way. Do you have someone to reach out to?
Well me too.
My family know I have hfd but there’re nothing they can do about it. And we can’t effort to go to the doctor either so I just have to deal with it
And yeah if you have friends it could help a lot but sadly most of us( who have hfd) don’t have many friends because we usually are introverts or have no social skills ( probably why we’re depressed) and when you wake up in the morning and have nothing to do, that is when depression hit you, sometime you wonder why were you born, what the meaning of life, sometime you think of killing yourself but you AFRAID... not because of hurting yourself but hurting your family
Hope you’re all doing okay
shamar levy , Jesus your creator would love to fill the void you feel.
1. I don’t think so but people think I’m smart
2. Yep
3. Yep
4. Yep
5. Sure has
6. Kinda (my job is art so I can’t stop)
7. Yep
8. Idk but I refuse to get help
9. I’m an artist so yeah
10. Idk
I refuse to get help and I don’t wanna self diagnose
The reason I’m not getting help is because I’m a child and people don’t take me seriously and I’m too scared to tell my (divorced) parents. My dad will over react and my mum will push it aside.
Mmm same
this is literally my situation. I'm young and an artist too. I don' think i need help. It's validating to know my situation is real. thanks
Both my parents will over react and won’t calm down and it’ll be embarrassing so I cant
Talk to your school councillor to have them make a referral to a phycologist to get diagnosed. Your mom will most likely be like “Oh wait a councillor is really concerned about my child’s mental health” and then let you get a diagnosis. If you get a diagnosis try finding therapy around you, you’re a minor so it should be free. Anyway... good luck on your journey

I'm at the point where the suffering is actually the fuel for my art. That I have to feel the pain in other create something amazing. That chaotic energy is something that I just accept. It's not healthy and I know it. Somehow I feel like I have to suffer in order to succeed..
Ugggghhhh I feel this so hard....I write the best poetry quickly and easily when I'm in the thrall of an active depressive episode.
Lyrics just flow out of me when I feel awful and I wish so bad that I could write something good when I'm not depressed.
When people ask me shit like “How was your day” i always say “good” because its true, my day is good, everything around me is fine. Everything internal is not

“Those with HFD might actually be more intelligent”
My grades would like to disagree with you
the thing is, school grades are just bulimic learning. As long as you can memorize stuff, you can just be good in school, it doesn’t necessarily correlate to intelligence
intelligence has nothing to do with grades, just because you aren't good at school, doesn't mean you arent intelligent. Albert Einstein was a horrible school student, but became one of the smartest scientists of all time. Please don't call yourself dumb.
Intellegence can be best defined in you passion if you like to talk about life or read/watch/ learn about chemistry for hours on end with time flying by. Or you have a well rounded intellegence like your average person.
New Weapons Soldier Actually, Einstien was a great school student. The idea of him being a bad school student occured because dumb people wanted to still have the chance to be smart.
@@RyBrown Ok you are correct, but Einstein did dislike the school sytem.
I was diagnosed with this condition (dysthymia), and it directly related to my physical ailments as well. I was depressed and in pain, at a breaking point. But with the proper therapy and medication, my condition has improved.

@@UnamusedAHole it was a family Guy reference ._.
@@UnamusedAHole Dude...Its a joke? And a reference to a meme? I dont see why you take it seriously.
I was diagnosed a year ago with Major Depression and Anguish Syndrome (a type of Anxiety), for me, well I knew it a long time ago, yet I didn't want to get help, as I thought I was causing troubles to those around me. I started a treatment with meds and some sessions, yet 4 months passed and without the support of my family could no longer get these meds and pay the sessions. Since then I have felt worse and worse, yet there's nothing I can do about it. Somehow, despite feeling suicidal most of the days I'm here, not sure why but, knowing there are people out there who want to help understand, to make more people aware of this mental illnesses makes me feel hopeful that if I somehow keep going soon there will be another way to help myself and others. Thank you for all your hard work, the love and If there's someone out there who's fighting too, we can do it, we are humans who deserve to live and love and so many things more. Keep on everyone.
...I deny it.
If I don't acknowledge it, it will go away.
Edit: number 4 has called me out and I don't like that.
This has opened my eyes on a whole different level. For years and years of frustration I could never pinpoint what was wrong with me, now I get it! Thanks for the video, god bless! ❤️
Idk what i have i be sad for long periods of time and feel lonely but im feel pretty happy not often but when im happy im very happy. I never want kill myself (even tho i say it alot) but i just feel like i dont/didnt wanna be born
Stay strong💞
i feel this so much wow. hope the best for you
Thanks guys im doing better i still have my days.
Maybe bipolar or borderline personality disorder they have similarities but are very different. Those spikes in happiness could actually be manic episodes if it lasts for a week it is kost likely bipolar if it's more of a up and down daily it's BPD
@@holysparkbatman please don't throw these diagnoses around! They are all very serious mental issues and a manic phase does not equal being very happy! (As the words say, one is a feeling that can lead to wonderful things and one is like a rush, very overwhelming and can lead to dangerous things! )
Thank god I saw this video. I’ve been having problems with mental health but this perfectly for the most part describes how I feel. Even though I’m optimistic and a outgoing I struggle with myself a lot and I cried when I watched this. It gave me closure and im going to try to get diagnosed by a mental health specialist. I looked this up and read a few articles and I have 6/10 - 8/10 symptoms on all the articles. Thanks Psych Im genuinely thankful ❤️❤️
I would trade my life with someone who actually wants to live right away.. So many people want to live, and I am just here praying to die..
God I feel exactly the same. I feel so guilty to be alive
Yeah, as time passes I notice that I get increasingly jealous of people with serious illnesses only days left to live. Why not me?
Random Girl :(
Rather than praying to die (I still do it from time to time), I'm just at the point when I don't think much about dying instead of trying to suicide (Still have thoughts but never attempt).
Same
Awareness is the first step in healing. I'm "highly functioning" but "lowly living. " finding out that I had help getting here, so I'm gonna need help getting out. God, thank you for my therapist!!!
video: explains the stuff
me: yeah ok
me, follows all but one: guess i doesnt apply to me
I feel like I might have depression but I don’t want to tell my parents. What should I do?
Would you be interested in this as a video topic?
How old are you? If over 12, you can seek counseling on your own but will have to foot the bill. You can also utilize 7cupsoftea.com for free online "counseling".
@@Psych2go please do. sorry if it's rude to answer this question.. i just wanna be noticed, but it almost never happens.
Psych2Go I would like it if you did. I would want others to know about this too.
LNX Draws your parents would actually be really happy that you confided in them. Maybe you could just tell the one you’re closest to at the moment. You could start by telling them like huh I haven’t been very happy at the mo so I’m trying to go to bed earlier. Then a week later again just casually bring up that you arnt feeling any happier. Hope you get the courage to tell them, don’t suffer alone ☺️
I think this may have been what Cheslie Kryst was struggling with. She was so inspiring when I saw her win Miss USA. Reaching into that position as a woman of colour, fully embracing her features. An attorney, an she worked for extra. I thought she was so inspiring.
Yeah her mother confirmed it was HFD recently
Hey man i almost killed myself at 12 and im 15 now, i cry everynight i get pain in my head and chest but fuck getting help man. I hate seeing weakness in the people around me, but i know thats only because i despise knowing its in myself too. I feel to heavily, i cant smalltalk to people, its so much more interesting to talk about deeper subjects, when i try to talk people always desolve the conversation into small talk. Im dark and im cynical towards a lot of things. I don't know how to comfort people and im constantly trying to avoid getting too close to anybody. Well, thats me...
im here for you my guy
@Domenic Lopez Zapata Bro don't worry it's gonna be okay.
First of all im glad that you're still here
Domenic Lopez Zapata have you heard of Brené Brown? Because it sounds like you have. If you haven’t I would highly suggest looking her up. She has helped me through some really tough times and she might help you too. If your parents ask you about why you are following her stuff or whatever you can just say that you want to become more mature in your relationships (adults love it when you talk like you have it together, even when you don’t).
**listens to all points** wow that's literally me
May God be with you and show you His wonderful kindness and grace.
May the love of His Son Jesus surround you and embrace you warmly.
Please tak
I hope your comment was a joke, depression is serious
H hyi yeah, and neither is God
also the symptoms-- they are spot on!
@@robinsk5644 Praying or talking to God is nice and all, but don't you think that this comment is insensitive to aetheists here on YT? i mean it's good that you're reaching out, but you should be more careful about religion.
•I'm intelligent (i think)
•I'm definitely a perfectionist
•I don't think anyone in my family is depressed
•I'm not depressed or sad (at least I don't think so)
•I Have normal hobbies
•I'm creative I draw a lot it's one of my hobbies
*So yay*
No. Go cry in a corner and become one of us.
You need to diagnose it by a professional, don’t go self-diagnosing in the comment section. Also don’t seek attention anymore, just because you get kind words doesn’t mean it’s helping you... Go see a therapist if you really think you have it.
мαѕкєᴅ ѕριяιт stfu don’t waste your money if you have common sense. It would take a very arrogant person to tell someone they don’t know about themselves more than a doctor would.
@@michellethycifuentes6909 well not all doctors do much of anything but 3rd person perspective really is valuable. If you don't have close family or friends who help you regulate your mental health than a psychiatrist isn't a terrible idea. Yea it's expensive so only spend it if it's a real problem you can't solve. You can't solve a problem you don't know that you have lol. And that's just knowing it exists.
dddmemaybe don’t waste you’re Money to get a diagnosis. I never said don’t waste your money to get help if you know you have depression.
Sometimes, I don't think my depression is real. Nor is my happiness. I say, "I'm fine," or "I'm happy," sooo much to the point where idk if I'm actually happy (even if it's a situation where I should be happy) or actually depressed or actually anything really. Idk if it's real or if it's in my head. Yet I have marks on my arms from the constant self harm everyday. So idk, lol...
My dad has been chronically depressed for almost 30 years. He never broke down, always worked diligently. Now with 62 he finally got help. Meanwhile I suffered from burnout at age 24 and have been dealing with clinical depression ever since. It’s gotten significantly better! But I can see a fair amount of those HFD signs in my family. Doing all kinds of creative things is a huge refuge for me and I‘ve been trying to help my father getting into lighthearted creative hobbies as well. He started to bake last year - he only does one recipe and perfected it…
me: literally on antidepressants
also me: *shocked pikachu meme because i relate to this*
This is also me 😂
Guess what maya, no one gives a shit about your feelings
seeing you tried hurting them, i would say somebody cares
Levi 439 i’m confused lmao what did i ever do to you
@@Levi-xw6fr Yes people do care about Maya's feelings. You itchy asshole.
I was recently diagnosed with this by a psychiatrist, the process for getting help is complex because of the lack of the feeling there is something wrong. Oddly enough this video is extremely accurate.
I might have HFD but I don’t want to admit it
I am confusion
You just did.
I'm literally crying right now ..
I'm high functioning and so depressed...
Have been for years and developed all kinds of coping mechanisms. I'm at a braking point and need help fast... I didn't know this was a thing.... Iv been desperately surching for answers!!!! It's 4am this might have saved a life today...I think I just took my first deep breath in over 6 years..... Thank you for this..
I watched to know more about HFD
Ended up finding out that there is a possibility that I might have HFD
Me: _relates to everything here_
Also me: *Nah im good*
This describes me but I refuse to believe I have it and will continue to try to stay positive
i don’t know why i’m commenting on this video, but i want to- I very fleetingly saw a stress management school counsellor, where i told her all of my struggles, then proceeded on to analyse and justify my reaction to every single one of them. and all she could provide me with was a “you may be suffering from HFD and HFA, and your analysis is pretty damn accurate and good luck!” to put it bluntly. i can’t go to a professional to “get help” because the only way i can actually heal from this is to receive genuine, sincere compassion from someone whose able to understand/relate to me on at least on wavelength of my problematic personality and thought process. does it stem from me being an infj in a toxic environment with many thoughtless impressionable extroverts around me that just make me feel that much more lonely in a crowded room, or from the fact that i feel like i’ll never be able to understand myself or find someone that just is able to understand that much more and accept me for who i am beneath the bright and smiley surface i try my best to portray to others. the thing is- i can’t act any other way, because it’ll just make my loneliness/inability to find any semblance of similarity with almost everyone- even other infjs, more profound and prominent to myself and just deepen my own supposed “hfd”, and i can’t be “myself”- if that even exists.
“Those with HFD are really intelligent”
Me: nah I’m good I don’t have this * leaves *
I had HFD from 2010 and it slowly developed into major depression slowly after 3 years. I always felt that I kept feeling sad and didn't know what it was. I couldn't identify it in time and it lead to this worse thing that I cannot get out of today.
4:33 *how long have you been suffering?" Oooh boy, wheres my chair
Family history of depression, reluctant to seek treatment, never had intimate relationships, cant bring myself to be interested in my hobbies, work my ass off for barely any pay and bust my ass at homework even though I'm constantly in a mental fog...
i feel like i’m just being dramatic. i’m not sad all the time it’s usually just at night when i’m too tired to ignore my thoughts. and i feel super attention-seeking thinking about it so i haven’t told anyone
I feel you. Have you gotten help? I'm not forcing you to reply, but do you have problems sleeping and feeling like your past achievements mean nothing to anyone? example like grade? I have no idea what going on with me too, I dunno how to express the right words to tell somebody or unsure what I feel when I think about it.
But I'll be fine, I'll sort this out like I clean my room.
I think I'm having this or at least something similar for almost 10 years now. I'm not sure because I'm afraid to see a therapist. But as its stated in the video it feels like it's growing and getting worse...
Default_Shadow Even if you are afraid of seeing a therapist, it sounds like you need it if it’s getting worse. I'm just some random person but I'd recommend you see one sometime in the future. Take your time though, it’s tough...
why are you afraid to see one ?
I think it's time for u to open up to someone u trust friend/family/coworker/school/psychologist. Ur picture is creepy 😁 step into the light, we can do this!! Peace 🌟
@@wangsofwat9537 thank you. I really appreciate it. ♥
Default_Shadow 😊 No problem. I just hope you'll feel better again someday.
“ those with HFD may be more intelligent”
Me: ight imma head out
i was on the fence if i had this or was even suffering at all then at the end when the video said “i just want to extend a big virtual hug to you and let you know that everything is going to be alright” i just absolutely bursted into tears because of this overwhelming feeling of actually being seen
i don’t know anymore
5:24
Thanks, you made me cry.
After being continuously sad for about 4 years now I finally am making myself go get checked out. I've been trying to do so for a good 2 years, but I always got tired of searching for help.
Funnily enough I found that little breakout of energy when I was late for one of my morning classes the other week, who knew that's when my brain decides to stick with a thing...
Anyway, I don't know what I have, but I'm definitely not healthy and it took me 2 years and surpassing a complete disregard of my situation by my support network to get help, but hey, I did it, finally, hopefully this first step is gonna last me a while, so that I can stick with my hfd/dysthymia/whatever else it might be :)
I just cried... while wtching this, it felt like finally, somebody understands... :(
Hi, talk to someone u trust a friend/family/psychologist/school/coworker. It's okay how u feel, don't numb it down. Please take action. Peace 🌟
@@bbdn5123 i know it's not my business, but what if somebody don't have anyone he/she could trust?
@@chisaki703 hey don't worry. Thanks for asking ur question. I dunno exactly, it takes time. I guess there will be a moment you'll feel overwhelmed and instead of doing something impulsively, like harming yourself, that's the moment you decide no and call someone for help. I'm sure before all that happens you can reach out online anonymously and/or call anonymous to some help organization and they can help further to see what kinda help you need and what they can do for you. Take care 🌟
@@bbdn5123 hmm, that actually makes sense. Thanks btw, i was just curious what your response would be
:( self harm, I did reached that point tho its stupid I dont know why I'be done it....
I just got no one to talk to...
I was diagnosed with this while in college. Went to therapy for two years and I'm so much better now ❤
Thanks Psych2Go!
Thx for your existence: whenever I feel lost, I come here and your videos always help me a ton!
I hope I'll be able to help others by sharing awareness and support, just like you all are doing. Thanks! Stay healthy and BE 💜
"do you have HFD?"
Yes
"how long have you been suffering?"
...... *6 years.*
And the not most shocking thing is my parents dont know
Ara Kim I know where you’re coming from.
I believe I have been depressed my whole life, do to what I believe to be genetic depression, since my mom was also depressed her entire life. But neither of my parents ever once thought that I might by depressed or have any other mental issues. I also think they don’t care that as well. My father ignored my existence until I was 12 and my mom didn’t spend anytime with me since my brother is autistic and need constant attention.
@@matthewskinner4030 same, but I don't know if I'm depressed or not, I don't know if I'm taking being okay or if I'm actually okay :P
same. i think it's probably have been 5 years for me :) but i've never tell anyone about it because i feel like i'm just overreacting and i'm afraid of what they would think if i said i might have hfd. last year my sister was diagnosed with mdd and attempted suicide, but thankfully her roommates found her before it was too late. my parents has started giving more attention to her and scheduled for an appointment with a therapist. as much as i am happy that she's getting help, it actually made me feel worse because i feel like "if nobody has ever noticed that i have depression, then it''s probably nothing" and "maybe i'm just overreacting because i'm jealous of the attention that my sister gets?" throughout the whole 5 years dealing with hfd, i've never once thought of seeking help, but now with everything that's going on with corona virus, i really want to seek for help. i'm tired of dealing with this. but it sucks more that i can't do anything about it. currently i'm just waiting for this pandemic to (hopefully) end and possibly meet with the counselors at my school? idk. but lately it's been really hard for me. idk why i decided to rant here, but it kind of feel good, since i have nobody that i can talk to anyway :)
It's 3-4 to me, the worst part is that they seem to care, but don't believe it's serious just because i'm about to be 15
I feel so blue every once in a while I'm afraid it could be a type of clinical depression.
wish I could meet you all around a campfire so we could share our stories.
best wishes from Brazil !
Sometimes watching these videos can be scary with how relatable the descriptions can be.
