"you stop showering, wanting to go to school, you feel down with no reason, you just lie in bed feeling useless and worthless" _oh well that is relatable_
•Gacha Cat• i do the same honestly. I dont care about my health at all. I starve myself, i harm myself, and i sleep deprive myself. i feel like crying almost all the time.
•Gacha Cat• ive sadly already cut myself and i regret it. please think positive as well. ive had so many suicidal thoughts. i know its not worth it. you're valuable too :)
@@Pan_exe_ I think self diagnosis is okay to some extent- I self diagnosed myself because when I told my parents yesterday they didn't believe me and said my only symptom was anxiety despite there being more symptoms than anxiety, self-harm and thoughts of suicide. I had this "depression" for almost 2 years so I think if you've felt it for over a year it's okay ,
depression is weird. everything is fine, you did everything right, you ate, you showered. And then WhAbAM. everything becomes foggy, and you feel so tired, you feel like your brain is rotting, and you just sit and stare at a wall until its time to go to sleep. but you cant even sleep.
Yep, but you've had an emotional block your entire life that now when you want to cry to release pain in a healthy way, you can't...? So you resort to unhealthy coping strategies?
I havent cried in months and all these feeling are just trapped inside of me to the point that i feel nothing. I feel like letting it all out but i just cant.
My depression makes me: -stay in bed -makes me stay in my room for days -gives me suicidal thoughts -loose motivation - procrastinate Yet u still convince myself I'm still grieving about something even though this has lasted for 4 years

I wish that could happen I don't have parents or friend's half the time I never talk to anyone I just realized depression is like a black hole it just keeps getting bigger and bigger
I had a breakdown in the middle of an argument with my mom cause I threw a container way BTW we have like thirty more containers but I was ugly crying and I thought she would confert me but she just got madder and told me suck it up and I told it wasn't cause of her and it honestly wasn't but it was my thoughts and she thinks I'm crazy
My depression makes me -wake up and not want to move because I don’t want to deal with anything at all ever. -over eat as a coping mechanism and then I feel guilt and skip meals. -feel like every task ever is the largest chore, including entertaining myself. -feel gray inside, and emotionally dead -feel drained constantly -lose sleep

Sadness is specific Depression is vague 2:52 4. Sadness is subjective Depression is objective 3:37 5. Sadness has short term effects Depression has long term consequences 4:08 6. Sadness affects your mood Depression affects your life 5:05 I recommend watching the video for more info and details. (also it would be nice if Psych2Go put these kinds of summaries along with time stamps in their description so that it would be easier to find what we are looking for if we don't have the time to rewatch the video).
Ironically, I lived a life that centered on the feelings of others. Instead of expressing my feelings frankly, I thought I had to live a happy life that would require suppressing my feelings to avoid making problems. At the same time, I firmly believed that my inner anxiety or nervousness should not be revealed. I tried to think positively or forced a smile on my face, hiding my unease and pretending not to know. Some feelings discomforted me, which I knew I should not be feeling, yet whenever those feelings arose, I would deny myself and suffer. I thought this was the right way, but reality told me the contrary. I became more vulnerable. I started to use the "Intended mindfulness playlist' (on my RUclips channel) and got much better. It really works 🙂 :)

Actually i always understand everyone but none understands me why!? I have everything in my mind but when i wanna open up my words get stuck in my throat and when i do i later regret it
@@jenniestolemahspoiltconden4535 holy that's exactly what happened to me, i wanted to open up to my mom, but i couldnt even talk for like 7 mins, eventually i gained enough courage, but at the end, she didnt understand, and she didnt ask about anything months after.
It makes it harder because of 2 reasons, 1. those people are attention seekers that don't actually have it and makes people assume that people that really have it are also attention seekers if they say it and 2. Saying it so casually makes it seem not as bad as it actually is, so when you do come out it makes people more likely to give poor advice like "just don't be sad" or "it's not that bad, it'll passover"
Jazie kitty wow, that's a bit hypocritical, hopefully your friends will either come to their senses or you'll find better friends that won't make you feel invalidated
When people say they are depressed they most likely are... I was diagnosed with depression myself and didn't even think I'd have it... I went to a therapist because of panic attacks.. I mean when you're constantly sad don't want to leave your bed and have problems with sleeping you are deffinitely depressed.. if it is like that it's not that hard to diagnose it yourself
I remember a girl telling me once.. "I have depression!"... but she said it with pride... and.. almost.. joy, it was like just a way for her to stand out
@@sing-songgabby15 the problem is: if you're saying it jokingly, or proudly, what do you expect people will think after hearing it? They're not jerks for connecting her behaviour to the way she stated her mental illness so proudly.

My depression since 7: cried till tired to cry more Me growing up: so used to sucking up my tears till I sometimes forgot the feeling of crying Me rn: too tired... Wanna cry to feel better but couldn't... It's so hard for me to do so.
I hate it as well, there was this one "test" to see if we're depressed in my school before, and this one girl was laughing/proud when the teachers asked who were depressed, had anxiety, etc and she "claimed" to have them all, like it was a fking joke. Depressed people won't directly say they're depressed, they'll give us subtle hints, because the thought of someone knowing that they're sad probably makes them pathetic. At least that's what my friend had thought.
@@LM-tc6cc eh gonna be honest I'm sleepy as fuck so like I skipped some of that. But I get ya I have been dealing with panic attacks and shit like that too, I'm just talking about the people who do it for attention because I know way to many of thoes people
heres why i think i have deppression 1. no motivation to do ANYTHING. 2.whenever i get happy im only happy for a couple muinits or cant get happy. 3. im sad like all the time, with friends, doing things i love. i get angry and jealous often so that makes me so sad. 4. i feel guilty and i hate myself for alot of my mistakes. my best friends who i have everything in common with and my friends just keep leaving me. it gives me so much sadness and its hard for me to make friends but then i feel guilty and sad. 5. i feel guilty and embarrasst of my past so it bugs me all the time and triggers sadness. 6. i hurt myself becuase i dont feel good enough and annoying and unwanted with no hope. i accidentally stabbed my leg the other day and it scared me so much and i said i wasent going to grab the blade again. but i gave in and it hurts me so much i feel so sad and unwanted. 7. i want to cry but i want to be happy. i cant get tears out
WAIT THIS IS THE MOST ACCURATE ONE- YES SOMEONE PLEASE RESPOND I DONT KNOW WHAT TO THINK OF IT. I literally have all these too, but I'm not sure if I'm just faking it for attention or not because my stupid brain f's me up. The happiness always fades and the dark cloud will always just hover constantly and its really hard to make go away. I really just want to know what's wrong with me, whether its depression or not I really just wanna know what's wrong because it sucks. I literally relate to every single thing you said, except my arm not my leg lolol. I hope you're doing better :). also does anyone have any idea what it could be?
@@hxneyfilmed1ts853 any one of these videos they make you can never self diagnose. It's like a friend telling you that you have cancer and you start believing them but never actually go to the doctor about. If you're this concerned tell a trusted adult and ask to see a doctor, to see what they say
@@boopsauce2516 thats why i havent self diagnosed for the past 2 years haha. i didn't think I gave the impression that I self diagnosed, I'm just concerned but at the same time not doing anything about it lolol. sorry if u got that impression
This made me realize I’m not depressed I’m just going through a rough patch and I’m going to try harder to be happy Edit: I went to therapy and it turns out I am just fucking depressed :D
1. sadness is an emotional reaction and depression is a mental illness. 2. sadness is brief and depression is persistent. 3. sadness is specific and depression is vague. 4. sadness is subjective and depression is objective. 5. sadness has short term effects and depression has long term consequences. 6. sadness affects your mood and depression affects your life.
I know you're just listing off the numbers but I feel I should say this anyway, depression can be as brief as sadness, and depression usually has tons of reasons for why it happens whereas sadness can usually be the vague one, from experience with both I know that those two aspects are subjective to the people who suffer from it, but the rest I guess is fine but I still don't really understand number 4, anyway one other thing, despite sadness or more specifically, crying being short term it is actually the best way to prevent depression.
It really bothers me how many people say they're depressed. I mean, sure some of them are. Bit sometimes I feel like just too many people say it when they're sad, no?
There’s a difference from saying “I’m depressed” vs “I have depression” I think. You can be in a depressed state of mind where you can’t be happy. I might have things wrong but that’s what I think
But also many people are truly depressed these days. We all lack human interaction, feelings of trust, love and validation. That leaves us lonely, empty, and, in the end, depressed.

When you are feeling down too often, your body is trying to signal that your mental frame is off the charts and that you are stuck in between wishful thinking and actual reality.
@Ahimsa42 It's true that you won't get confident without being successful at something, but you get there by failure. If you fail enough and learn from mistakes you get confident because you know you are prepared for most uncertainties through experience. That basic principle is applicable to most aspects of life but we are drawn to what makes us feel good. In turn we tend to avoid things that makes us feel pain, be it physical or psychological. I'm sure you know where I'm going with this and here is the problem from my experience. That mindset of yours that women see you as ugly and inferior is your brain trying to protect you from negative emotions. It doesn't want to feel whatever strong negative emotion you felt while dating again so it prevents you from trying. Trust me looks are way less important in finding a suitable partner, but if you go into dates with a negative mindset from the beginning that is naturally gonna turn women off. It's really hard to overcome this but there are very effective therapy options out there.

Tbh even if I know I've been feeling depressed, I sometimes feel like I'm just faking it or I just want attention. I always second guess myself and sometimes those are the reasons why I dont like telling people about, because I dont want them to say I'm faking it or to say it'll go away. But this video did help a bit with that though. Edit: I've noticed a lot of people relate to this and even told their stories. To all those people who relate, I hope you are doing ok. Do not compare your sufferings to others, just because someone is suffering more doesnt mean you should ignore yours. Always take care of yourselves and dont forget to take breaks. I care about you guys even tho I havent met you guys, please make sure to talk to someone. Edit #2: Its been 1 year or so since I have posted this and I would like to clarify everyone. I am not a doctor, I am also not claiming to have depression but I will edit the original post since there are things that are worded incorrectly. If you do however think like or feel like you have symptoms of depression, please go to therapy to confirm it. Its ok to think you have something but do not claim you have a mental illness without confirmation from a psychiatrist or psychologist. Thank you for reading this once again and have a good day, especially to those who have replied under this comment. I hope those who are suffering will find peace no matter what, you deserve happiness and I'm glad you are here. You are free to vent if you'd like also!! Edit #3: I was diagnosed with severe depression lol
Same with ptsd really,i had abusive parents(both has thrown something very heavy and sharp at me)and told my friend,then i thoughtĺwhy am i doing this,i shoul have died so i would not have become this.....monster",no this is not fake,i (usually) bully people because it makes me hapy to know that someone feels like me...

Me: relates to depression Mum: *it's just a phase* Dad: *it's because of the internet* Friends: *you just want attention* Siblings: *hahaha* Teachers: *I don't care* Happy people: *I am sad sometimes too, it's not a big deal* Internet: *just smile more* Me: leave it, I'm gonna isolate myself from everyone Also everyone: *why you isolate yourself?* Me: I DON'T KNOW, CAN YOU HELP ME?
As someone who's had depression, nobody can help you and there's no way out of it, surviving depression is mysterious as far as how some people do it. I had two circumstances present that let me survive it, you do not fight depression, you do not control depression, the only thing you can do is endure it or end it all. Depression is a lack of everything that matters to a human being you have no emotions, no self worth, your mind is swimming with doubts, you're overthinking, and even the things you liked have no way of saving you. Depression is not a short term battle, it's like a constant war going on in your head a war of attrition, every day you survive is a day in which you are hanging on by a thread. I don't know if you wrote this as a joke or not, but without meeting anyone in person and without anything else other than this, there's no way for me to guage this depression or how it's working. If I met you in real life I would know you had depression before anyone else, and that would be before you even felt it yourself, before you show signs or tell us I would know. But based on this I assume you just feel immensely alone, but that's already a lie of sorts, I get that there is two types of loneliness, one is the obvious one where you don't have any friends, the other is a type of loneliness that can't even be explained. It's just loneliness, you feel like you'll never connect to anyone or anything, I too feel this loneliness, but there's no cure for it, it's something beyond our understandings. But this only matters if this is not a joke, no, nobody can help you, and even if they could depression would not let you ask for help just like that, depression all starts with a lie that you believe. Here's what I believe about depression, many people who have had it do go to get anti-depressants but I feel that this response is the worst way to get around depression ever. I get it, depression is not technically natural so people just want rid of it instantly, but aren't they lying to themselves about that? Depression always comes from a lie and a reason, and to take the quick and easy path is to just run away from your problems. Anti-depressants are a drug that serve as a temporary cure, an external source cannot cure depression, not permanently at least, it's a battle that we ourselves have to go through to truly be rid of the beast for good.
This is what I noticed Most people who say that they're depressed so proudly probably just go through sadness Most people who have depression rather hid it than say it because they're afraid of other people's responses

My Depression makes me - Using Coffee as a coping mechanism, making myself feel sick due to caffeine overdose - Failing to sleep (Partially due to my Coffee addiction) - Makes me forget stuff more often - Makes me isolate myself - My spine keeps aching despite being physically healthy - Makes me wish I was dead but I can't bring myself to do it - Makes me socially distant - Makes me bottle it up and act happy among my peers - Makes me unexcited for the next day - Not enough amusement gained from the things I used to love - Makes me fear my family (Due to mental abuse due to my binge eating disorder and anxiety)
Something that I question a lot is how people have the courage and feel comfortable to talk about how they feel, I can't imagine myself doing that it's scary and uncomfortable.
It is still really difficult to me to open up to someone on a daily basis. Embrace an enormous bowl of courage and talk to someone who can be trusted or a professional healthcare. It is hell the first time, but it gets a bit better everytime. After a while, when you get a good therapist for you, it's like a living diary who understands and remembers and links things for you. Be brave
Lemon_ Gorl me too. i find it really hard to open up to anyone, because i'm always afraid they won't understand. because when i try to tell someone, i always get shut out. so i always keep it to myself.
The last point she made about depression affecting your life is brutally accurate. When i’m having an episode, it’s so hard for me to find a reason to wake up in the morning, I feel physically weak with pain in my stomach. My head also physically hurts because of how toxic and cloudy my mind becomes which makes it harder than it already was before to remember things or concentrate. My school and social life are negatively affected because of this

I really don’t think I’m depressed but recently I’be just randomly felt sad. Like sometimes I’m happy and then sadness just comes out. This has been happening for a couple of months. I have a few reasons to be sad but other than that I’m just upset for no reason. It’s hard because I’m bad at sharing, I’ve told nobody about my feelings.
“Depression also disrupts normal eating and sleeping patterns.” Me, watching at 2 am without having eaten more than half a meal: *Surprised pikachu meme*
people say "stop faking" or "you have nothing to be depressed about" and they dont even know what ive been through. thats like telling someone they didnt do something when they did.
exactlt.I am sorry people have been rude to you. Just remember that some people are selfish and I am sure you are an amazing person so keep fighting your battle until its won
I feel like I have almost all the symptoms of depression, but sometimes I can be really happy and enjoy things. And even when for years I couldn't know just once what makes me feel the way I feel, now I can acknowledge it from time to time. I feel optimist about myself, healing mental issues takes time and hard work, like expressing, going to therapy or confronting your emotions and own history. If I could do it you can do it too 💗💗💗 a big hug to everyone struggling with this

Sadness is when you're actually sad by life's misfortunes like losing your spouse or a child, breaking up with a loved one, death of a friend. Depression is laying in your bed and whining about nothing instead of getting your shit together and being thankful for everything you've got. Most depressed people don't even have a clue what a real sadness is.
1. Sadness is an emotional reaction, depression is a mental illness. 2. Sadness is brief, depression is persistent. 3. Sadness is specific, depression is vague. 4. Sadness is subjective, depression is objective. 5. Sadness has short term affects, depression has long term consequences. 6. Sadness affects your mood, depression affects your life. I still don’t know if I’m faking it or denying it
Me finally opening up to my guardian his long I’ve felt like I’m never happy and don’t understand why: Guardian: it’s because of your tablet. You’re always on there and you need to socialize more. Me: *it’s hard when nobody checks on me when someone walks in in my crying and just walks out like I’m not worth their time.*
I’m still confused where I stand on this... have I just been sad for a long while, or am I asymptomatically depressed. I experience joys and happiness on short occasions but I always seem to go back to low points every couple of months.
Me too. I feel depressed but there's days when I laugh and have a good time. But even on those days, if no one is talking to me, I go in my head and start to think too much. And I hate talking about my feelings in real life so I probably won't ever know if I am really depressed or not
Same here! I’ve been feeling a lot of guilt and I’ve been hating myself for smaller or bigger things. I start to think about really dark and self harming thoughts I never ever would think of otherwise. I’m really happy from times to times. But afterwards it all feels wrong. I just hate myself and I can’t make it stop. I don’t know why. I am just cinfused
Same I think...it’s like I show no signs of depression so I believe it’s just sadness that with pass but it never does and everyday I want to hurt myself and give up but yet I’m still here and happy but not really
(based on my depression) Depression: •Makes me unlike the things i liked back then •i want to be happy but can't bring myself to forget the past i had experienced •Don't wanna eat •tired to make any conversations with my best friends even tho i want to •wants attention to the people you love but feels empty inside •a feeling that you want to be happy but just not And many more deep thoughts that you feel like hurting yourself
@@oh-ohstinky5819 Why not? There your parents, you should let them know what you are feeling so that they would understand you more, your lucky that you have parents, but my dad died when i was 10 and i don't like my mom, It's not like their gonna hate you or something right? 😁
Some of my experience: -unmotivated -total numbness of the hearth, affecting relations, hobbies, goals and moral beliefs -each day looks the same -less selfcare -watching your life unfold in a worst case scenario kinda way - bad sleeproutine -suicide thoughts
I knew this attention seeker who said herself after being asked if depression meant being sad for a short time is depression. She got so "depressed" over her brother messing up her Roblox game, and the worst part is she wouldn't listen to others problems and would actually say "oof" or "rip" when I was at my lowest

There is a whole lot of that I see in myself, I'm not officially diagnosed because even talking to a therapist growing up I hid a lot from that person like I did with a lot of people since I had a lot of trust issues. I was talking with my Psychology teacher in college and asked what can be done to deal with this, some things like working out to boost serotonin in my brain to help out with the problem. But still over the summer break, because I wasn't forced to get up and go somewhere, I just stayed in my bed all day and not having the motivation to even get up in the morning. I can experience happiness, but it will just go back to just my depressed unmotivated self. Now I try forcing myself to a schedule with these online classes, since I have to do this stuff, so the only motivating factor is when I have to do it. Otherwise, practicing on my hobbies is hard because I don't have to work on them and just go back stuff like binge watching videos and food.
i relate to literally everything u just said..I feel very unmotivated and keep asking myself "what is the point?".I do dance but I havent donee it in forever because I don't know I just feel so careless

@@Acurami I can relate. I also draw a lot, I would suggest trying to work those first mistakes into the drawing rather than giving up, sometimes it can work out really nice, other times it doesn’t but at least ya tried.

i had depression in 2011 & cried a lot at school. i saw the nurse, the social worker & a psychologist. i was up all night & had trouble sleeping but now im ok & dont have it anymore
Depression feels like I’m in quicksand: the harder I try to get out and get help, the worse it gets. I’m pretty sure I’ve had it since I was in 4th grade, but didn’t realize until high school (mainly finding out through channels like this/talking to peers, not so much school). I could’ve been on my road to recovery a looong time ago. The American education system should incorporate self awareness and start early; childhood depression is a thing and destigmatizing mental illnesses can really help people.
Cherry Koolaid I agree, I live in Florida so school isn’t the best. Also I’m mega broke so I went to a lot of hood schools. They are SUPER FUN but I didn’t learn anything.
Mackenzie I’m really sorry that happened to you. Although we can’t prepare for everything life throws at us, learning how to properly deal with negative emotions/feelings early on should be considered very important. My prayers go out to you❤️
Mackenzie my uncle actually tried to murder my grandma because of marital issues so she has to wear a wig to hide the massive scar. He was sent to life in prison and died in prison. I never got to meet him cause he got locked up before I was born. She still has mental stuff wrong with her because of him. Shes going steady as of now but who knows, she might end back in the trailer her mom sent her to because she didn’t want her. I have no idea who he is but I’ve seen on picture of him, but it was years back and I can’t remember what he looked like in it. My family has some rocky history, countless drug overdoses and addictions. A ton of self harm because of very poor circumstances, like being mega poor and stuff. My grandma has some scary horror stories. Every member seems to carry a burden.
Thank you, this video was really helpful! I don't think I have depression, but it is sometimes difficult to tell the difference between that and other issues. I have a fair bit of anxiety, but even though some of the symptoms can overlap, it's not the same thing at all. Your points made this really clear.
thank you for this. it made me feel a lot more validated my dad said "you dont have a reason to be depressed. the reason youre so depressed is because you have no purpose" so uh that hurt a lot so this made me feel better and more validated. thank you
@Lazer cat animations depression is Sadness that has become so persistent and unbearable that the person becomes numb from it. This can lead to other disorder, the main symptoms being numbness.
I can relate long story short I had to work for someone who I really thought was my friend in fact he was like a brother to me but in the end he betrayed me for no reason and he emotionally abused me manipulated me and treated me like shit for a really long time not to mention he's proud of what he did to me luckily I quit on him but I left with too much anger vengeance and hatred against him that I unintentionally directed all my negativity on the love of my life who I've loved and cared about for 7 years and she and I were good friends she was always so sweet kind compassionate and amazing with me and she never had to be I pushed away and I never meant to do that and now I feel so much guilt pain heartbreak and depression and self hatred for what I did to her that I don't know what to do anymore I've cried about her 27 times in 6 months and I still love her and care about her a lot but now those real genuine feelings I have for her are honestly emotionally killing me every single day all I want is to make peace with her and become friends with her again but I don't know if she feels that way anymore I've tried moving on but somehow it's not working and the emotional pain and suffering keeps hitting me harder harder and harder luckily I'm a really stubborn guy and my stubbornness keeps me alive but like everyone else I have my limits and I can only fight it for so long🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️

i don’t know if i have depression but here are some things i have noticed: - no motivation to do things i loved - easily angered - withdrawing from friends & family - feeling guilty for even just using tissues because i feel like they will run out and then my parents have to be pay for it - crying whenever someone talks about depression. i’m holding in my tears while watching this video - i can’t stop thinking about death. i’m scared to die but i find myself often thinking “wish i was dead” - trouble staying asleep - loss of appetite - feeling like a failure
I’ve been recently Diagnosed with depression and anxiety. When I was diagnosed the psychologist said that from what she hear it seemed like I was untreated for almost 2 1/2 years, and I didn’t even know the signs at first since my old school never said anything. If you have any signs go see a professional soon, even if it’s hard they aren’t allowed to share anything. I hope anyone reading this has a good day
@@Psych2go just got home from a 12 hour shift , favorite part of the day Sleep time. I appreciate you responding, I would appreciate some methods on helping with random urge to cry, thank u
Depression is caused by an imbalance of serotonin in the brain, the feeling usually just appears by itself or it appears because of a trigger. Sadness is always caused by a highly specific trigger. Depression is often characterized by feelings of numbness and emptiness, hypersomnia or insomnia, drastic changes in eating patterns (like binge eating or being unable to eat), and many other visible and invisible symptoms.
Mom: "everybody gets depressed sometimes" Dad when I started antidepressants, but went out to support a friend's grad and went to his goodbye party: if you were depressed you wouldn't be able to get out of bed! Dad on days when I cant get out of bed and my parents have a rule of me being up at a certain time: "do you realize what time it is? Get out of bed, stop being lazy, obey the rules in this house!" 🥱😔
As disingenuous and cliché as it sounds, from the bottom of my heart, i hope anybody with depressuon gets better. But just saying it wont help though...
Ooof i can so relate with that "rule" My mom used to yell at me for not getting out of bed, telling me that i am lazy, and irresponsible, cause now that I'm an adult, i have responsibilities to take care of
Thank you.. I sometimes feel sad for no reason. & ppl don't understand why, if I have no reason. I keep explaining this.. is a battle I have with my head.
Joel - yes I know how you feel. Been on anti-depressants for the past 50 years almost. At one stage became so depressed that I actually allowed doctors to ECT me NINE times before I finally came aware enough to ask why they were doing it to me. I think its because I'm not really cut out to be here - on planet earth I mean - don't like it and would try to escape but not actually self-destructive enough :'-(
@@joelmavity1467 Have found that burning 'geranium oil' does seem to help a bit have also got five cats to live for so have to make the effort for them.
When I tried to open up to someone about this before.. he just said "depressed people don't say they are depressed" Okay.. maybe I was just sad for like a year?
It's like telling someone that really suicidal peiple dont tell about suicide. Doesnt mean they are fine, it just means theyre broken in a different way.
That happened to me once My online ‘friend’ was faking depression, which I called her out for and she responded by saying “well how do you know?” Me: because i have depression Her: depressed people don’t say they’re depressed you’re just saying that for attention Sorry guys guess I’m not eating because I want attention 🤷
remember guys that if youve gotten out of a rough patch (sunny days), wanting to feel sad/depressed again ISNT attention-seeking. it just means you dont know how to feel anything other than numbness and sadness. i hope you guys are having a great day x

I agree with all of these except the last one. People with depression often find it hard to get enjoyment out of previous things they liked, but it doesn’t mean a depressed person can’t be happy at all. Even in depression there can be moments of genuine happiness.
@@xxxod well not really.. but that makes me feel more like they don't take my problems seriously. People sometimes don't understand that sadness and depression aren't the same thing
Ghost_girl Well what would you like to hear? I feel like those with depression don’t always hear what they want to, but that’s because it’s difficult for most to understand where they are coming from.
Art is pretty epic. Just make sure you dont fall into the trap of atrributing your suffering to good art. Your art can be derived elsewhere, just not depression. Just uh, a bit of forewarning.
Wow thank you so much now ik that 1 year ago I was depressed but bc of your videos i learned how to deal with my depression and I talked with someone who I really trust and that made me get out of depression. I kept a hole year trying to deal with it but after watching your videos I started having more corage to ask for help. Thank you sooo much ❤️
Thanks Psych2Go. This video confirms I am depressed. Many people think you can snap out of it. They are just ignorant and insensitive. I am on medication and it helps me. God bless you all at psych2go. You are a blessing.
My friends always self diagnose themselves with depression. They are actually super cheerful... and they are like “IM A BIT DEPRESSED THIS WEEK-“ They are my youngest friend.
yeah one day my bf just spent all her day telling jokes and crazy stories to everybody in class then when she finished she sat next to me so I asked her what was going on she told me that she is feeling sooo depressed today, I was really pissed off so I just left the place.
One of my friends actually was diagnosed with depression and I frequently watch your videos so I can understand how to help her. Thank you. (Also, y'all in the comment section are great people, too.❤️)
Your friend must be so thankful to have you by her side. When I began struggling none of my friends noticed (I did try telling them) but in the end I was left alone. Just stay by her side even if she tries to push you away💜
Dear peoples in this comment,stay strong! I believe in you,you can do it ^^! And also,I'm proud all of you for helping your friend,I'm trying to do it too 😊♥️
@@mianin5679 The problem is that her parents when she suspected to have it and still wasn't diagnosed told her "Not to be depressed" and that "There is people who would want to live but can't for some terrible illness", and that just made her feel worse...
Is it just me who tired to reach out and get help but all I got was “It’s okay we all have bad days” “Same lol” “Are you dangerous? I can’t be near someone so unstable” And then the one person who tries to help just can’t be Ashe by that point you’ve lost all hope yourself
I think the only ones who can help people with depression are those who have either gone thru it or r going thru it or a professional .. a normal person could never understand our pain 😔

also.. i know how that feels. ive been constantly told that. "we all have something we're struggling with". like yeah, sure we do, but everyone deals with pain differently and not everyone has the same story and background. if you want we can maybe be friends!
I literally remember having a conversation with a friend as a teenager saying "I feel sad," them asking why and me responding "I don't know." They would say things like, "that doesn't make sense," or " you're not fun to be around because you're sad all the time." Obviously we aren't friends anymore.
try talking to your self, or drawing something happened to you for everyday and imagine that people are reading it, and coment on it, but only good coments like "blue chair" or "murrz" or "my gaint nerd boyfriend" on webtoon but in your own way, even if you draw stick men, and split your self, like, you start tp make conversation with yourself and your other self is trying to see wich os better while you are giving a problem and and so, at least that what I do, and try finding new hobbies, I believe we lost intrest not because we don't like it anymore or we grow up on it, but because we get used to it so much, like how we as kids will smile when seeing the moon follow us in the car and now we don't even look, because we believe the moon will always be there, and that's the same, so try new hobbies and find one you want to be a pro at, and get fun while doing too, that's what I do, if you have any questions, I'll tell you my opinion, if you have a different opinion, tell me to make a conversation to try finding the best option, or just change our believe
i had some medication that constantly made me sad for no reason, it eventually got to the point where i could not taste the food i am eating nor find a reason to get up from my bed to do anything. im not depressed but that was the closest thing to depression i've ever felt and i feel sorry for those who have to suffer with that every single day.
thank you. my bf always says he's depressed when he feels sad and it's over minor things but he doesn't know what it's like to suffer from depression. i suffer from major depressive disorder which is disregards. I'm gonna send him this video so that way he can get a better understanding. thank you 😊
I don’t have clinical depression (and I know I’m lucky not to) but I did have a depressive period when I was around 11. I will never, ever forget that disgusting, painful, empty feeling. Especially at such a young age. I remember very clearly that it was about school. And I remember seeing my parents look at each other worryingly. My dad decided to take me somewhere I really enjoyed, but it was no use. I thought that I school was an endless painful cycle. It was going to repeat over and over again. It wasn’t going to stop. I’m going to live the next 13 years of my life (including college) doing the same thing over and over again. Going to school, coming back home. Going to school, coming back home. Going to school, coming back home. I would have to see those teachers for longer than I’d see my family. I didn’t want to spend my life in school (to 11 year old me, 13 years did seem like my whole life). I haven’t even been alive for 13 years, and now I have to double my age and more? And even after that, I’d have to get a job. Go to work, come back home. Go to work, come back home. Go to work, come back home. That’s all my life would be. And by the time I’d retire, I’d be too old to actually have fun in life. I felt as if my life was empty. There was no meaning. I’m just a tiny speck that won’t benefit the world. This endless cycle of sadness. Loneliness. Worthlessness. I didn’t think there was a reason to be alive if that’s all there is to life. I’d rather be in heaven (was fairly religious at the time) than live in this hell on earth. I do believe the only thing that kept me alive was that I didn’t want my family to feel as if they’d done something wrong. I didn’t want them to grieve. And one of the most important factors, my dog wouldn’t know what happened to me. I truly was a child. Fearing a dog would be lonely is what kept me alive. Now imagine living with that ever day of your life. Or at least much longer than how ever long I had my depressive episode. Thinking back at it makes my stomach churn. Truly one of the worst feelings I have ever felt in my life. I cannot fully understand what clinically depressed people go through, but I really do sympathize as much as I can. I take what I feel, and double it. I could barely deal with it for that short(ish) time. I can’t imagine having to go through that every day.
This thought process is what actually made me depressed, and in 5 years since the beginning of these throughts my life didnt prove me else. Now that i know way more options and how to live a better life, i still cant get ouf of it, which sometimes really stresses me out, because i wonder if ill ever feel something again. Tho im taking steps to get better that are actually working right now, a diet change actually gave me enough energy to take more steps, sometimes its the beginning. I hope its not too late to get better, i waited those 5 years until i finally reached out to someone for help
I hate the feeling of going to bed every night at 4am knowing the next day will be exactly the same And only to wake up tired feeling like i havent slept at all
Ah yes, people totally choose to feel miserable for months to years at a time, totally choose to physically harm themselves and totally choose to attempt to kill themselves. Yes, that is totally all a choice. God, why do people say that depression is a choice. It's even worse when teachers say it. Like I want to kill these people but I would go to jail and I like having a clean criminal record.
Person: You know, I've been feeling really depressed... Me an idividual, who doesn't know how to deal with my own problems: .... *"It be like that sometimes."*
i found your video very helpful .in my i always found alcohol and drugs helped me and way over working was an easy fix but in the end it over exhausted me physically and mentally. due to your video i have started feeling better in myself. haven't stopped the working.what can i say im i workaholic. love my job and i love learning.cut the drugs and alcohol out to an extent. birthdays catching up with friends ext. must better that 15-20 cans a night and other stuff i shouldn't be doing.id just like to thank you for for being a voice out there that people can lesson to and relate to.thank you dearly from myself and others that suffer with depression. i hope this video helps as much as its helped me
So I’m not very sure if I have depression, here’s what I do have Some days when I’m sad, it slowly fades Some days I just feel so sad and..empty without any reason at all. I don’t want to eat a lot of snacks that I usually like to eat because I’m insecure about my weight. I’m more insecure than I used to be. Sometimes when I’m sad, I take it out on other..or get mad because I’m sad. Sometimes I don’t want to do anything and just stay home. So what do you think? Do I have depression or not?
That's what i want to know too. i don't know much about this topic. Are there different kinds of depression? or is depression the same for everyone? i feel like i *definitely* don't have it but i also feel like i'm not "happy" like a normal person. It's probably just my mind tricking me or smth like that tho..
Wow!!! I’m at times guilty & quick to say, get over it…. Life is to be enjoyed not to sit there let the sadness 😞 take over your life. Ty this video help me understand more about mental illness.

"you stop showering, wanting to go to school, you feel down with no reason, you just lie in bed feeling useless and worthless" _oh well that is relatable_
dont think ur alone cuz so am i only showering when my mom calls me and says "did u shower?'
I cry sometimes, and I don't care about my health. I'm not really sure if I'm depressed, though.
•Gacha Cat• i do the same honestly. I dont care about my health at all. I starve myself, i harm myself, and i sleep deprive myself. i feel like crying almost all the time.

Saying "why are you depressed, there are so many happy things to do out there" is the same as "Why are you asthmatic, there is so much air"
THIS
I think neither is funny to say, because i am probably depressive (i dont want to self diagnose) and asthmatic since i was 2 months old..
@@Pan_exe_ I think self diagnosis is okay to some extent- I self diagnosed myself because when I told my parents yesterday they didn't believe me and said my only symptom was anxiety despite there being more symptoms than anxiety, self-harm and thoughts of suicide. I had this "depression" for almost 2 years so I think if you've felt it for over a year it's okay ,
This is funny, but i shouldn't have laughed. Im sorry
@@urepicris its okay to say you most likely have depression, but you can't say that you HAVE depression without getting professionally diagnosed.
depression is weird. everything is fine, you did everything right, you ate, you showered. And then WhAbAM. everything becomes foggy, and you feel so tired, you feel like your brain is rotting, and you just sit and stare at a wall until its time to go to sleep.
but you cant even sleep.
Yea that sounds about right

same, and i feel like crying for no reason.
It also becomes harder the older you get as you try to be strong. Have you tried journaling, talking to a friend or listening to certain music?
@@Psych2go I have listened to music. But I never tell a friend about this. Thank you for suggesting ♡♡♡
Yep, but you've had an emotional block your entire life that now when you want to cry to release pain in a healthy way, you can't...?
So you resort to unhealthy coping strategies?
I havent cried in months and all these feeling are just trapped inside of me to the point that i feel nothing. I feel like letting it all out but i just cant.

My depression makes me
-wake up and not want to move because I don’t want to deal with anything at all ever.
-over eat as a coping mechanism and then I feel guilt and skip meals.
-feel like every task ever is the largest chore, including entertaining myself.
-feel gray inside, and emotionally dead
-feel drained constantly
-lose sleep
The accuracy
Same
- Gray - pretty accurate
I feel in a similar way. Especially waking up and feeling "why am I awake?"

TY AND AGREED
yah
Ironically, I lived a life that centered on the feelings of others. Instead of expressing my feelings frankly, I thought I had to live a happy life that would require suppressing my feelings to avoid making problems.
At the same time, I firmly believed that my inner anxiety or nervousness should not be revealed. I tried to think positively or forced a smile on my face, hiding my unease and pretending not to know.
Some feelings discomforted me, which I knew I should not be feeling, yet whenever those feelings arose, I would deny myself and suffer.
I thought this was the right way, but reality told me the contrary. I became more vulnerable. I started to use the "Intended mindfulness playlist' (on my RUclips channel) and got much better. It really works 🙂 :)

I sometimes think it’s their misattunememt to our inability to articulate
What. Ur mom totally doesnt undertand depression
With so many people claiming they're depressed makes it harder for people who have depression to open up...i think...
It makes it harder because of 2 reasons, 1. those people are attention seekers that don't actually have it and makes people assume that people that really have it are also attention seekers if they say it and 2. Saying it so casually makes it seem not as bad as it actually is, so when you do come out it makes people more likely to give poor advice like "just don't be sad" or "it's not that bad, it'll passover"
Jazie kitty wow, that's a bit hypocritical, hopefully your friends will either come to their senses or you'll find better friends that won't make you feel invalidated
When people say they are depressed they most likely are... I was diagnosed with depression myself and didn't even think I'd have it... I went to a therapist because of panic attacks..

*Sadness:* You cry
*Depression:* No more tears to cry
@Duchi
I cry but I feel so pathetic when I do so.
Most of the time I cry myself too sleep.
My depression since 7: cried till tired to cry more
Me growing up: so used to sucking up my tears till I sometimes forgot the feeling of crying
Me rn: too tired... Wanna cry to feel better but couldn't... It's so hard for me to do so.
I physically haven't been able to cry for months. But I do have my moments when I just combust tho
True it's just like tears are dried and you get this "used to feeling"
The truth being said😖😖
Yo it annoys me so much when people say "I'm so depressed" no you wouldn't keep saying it if you really were depressed
True
I hate it as well, there was this one "test" to see if we're depressed in my school before, and this one girl was laughing/proud when the teachers asked who were depressed, had anxiety, etc and she "claimed" to have them all, like it was a fking joke. Depressed people won't directly say they're depressed, they'll give us subtle hints, because the thought of someone knowing that they're sad probably makes them pathetic. At least that's what my friend had thought.
Absolutely true!
Yup, I have a friend that struggles with depression, and the last thing she would do would be going around telling the world her issues.
@@LM-tc6cc eh gonna be honest I'm sleepy as fuck so like I skipped some of that. But I get ya I have been dealing with panic attacks and shit like that too, I'm just talking about the people who do it for attention because I know way to many of thoes people
heres why i think i have deppression
1. no motivation to do ANYTHING.
2.whenever i get happy im only happy for a couple muinits or cant get happy.
3. im sad like all the time, with friends, doing things i love. i get angry and jealous often so that makes me so sad.
4. i feel guilty and i hate myself for alot of my mistakes. my best friends who i have everything in common with and my friends just keep leaving me. it gives me so much sadness and its hard for me to make friends but then i feel guilty and sad.
5. i feel guilty and embarrasst of my past so it bugs me all the time and triggers sadness.
6. i hurt myself becuase i dont feel good enough and annoying and unwanted with no hope. i accidentally stabbed my leg the other day and it scared me so much and i said i wasent going to grab the blade again. but i gave in and it hurts me so much i feel so sad and unwanted.
7. i want to cry but i want to be happy. i cant get tears out
I'm so sorry that you had to go through that. I sincerely hope that you can get support and help from a therapist and those you love. Please take care
I can confirm that is most definitely depression
No I can’t I’m no therapist or anything I just think this
WAIT THIS IS THE MOST ACCURATE ONE- YES SOMEONE PLEASE RESPOND I DONT KNOW WHAT TO THINK OF IT. I literally have all these too, but I'm not sure if I'm just faking it for attention or not because my stupid brain f's me up. The happiness always fades and the dark cloud will always just hover constantly and its really hard to make go away. I really just want to know what's wrong with me, whether its depression or not I really just wanna know what's wrong because it sucks. I literally relate to every single thing you said, except my arm not my leg lolol. I hope you're doing better :). also does anyone have any idea what it could be?
@@hxneyfilmed1ts853 any one of these videos they make you can never self diagnose. It's like a friend telling you that you have cancer and you start believing them but never actually go to the doctor about. If you're this concerned tell a trusted adult and ask to see a doctor, to see what they say
@@boopsauce2516 thats why i havent self diagnosed for the past 2 years haha. i didn't think I gave the impression that I self diagnosed, I'm just concerned but at the same time not doing anything about it lolol. sorry if u got that impression
This made me realize I’m not depressed I’m just going through a rough patch and I’m going to try harder to be happy
Edit: I went to therapy and it turns out I am just fucking depressed :D
good luck, you got this
That made me smile 😊 thank you so much
The video truly helped me and I’m feeling better already
Hope you start feeling better dude

Im going to forward these to people with fake depression
@@vel9259 YESSSS. Although they always go 'oh yeah, omg I feel like this all the time' 🙄
@@vel9259 ikr they faking it, they never know what it feels to be depressed or to loose someone at depression.
I know you're just listing off the numbers but I feel I should say this anyway, depression can be as brief as sadness, and depression usually has tons of reasons for why it happens whereas sadness can usually be the vague one, from experience with both I know that those two aspects are subjective to the people who suffer from it, but the rest I guess is fine but I still don't really understand number 4, anyway one other thing, despite sadness or more specifically, crying being short term it is actually the best way to prevent depression.
It really bothers me how many people say they're depressed. I mean, sure some of them are. Bit sometimes I feel like just too many people say it when they're sad, no?
TheGaelic SpacePickle hi my friend im looking for a youtube friend lets us help each other to grow.
There’s a difference from saying “I’m depressed” vs “I have depression” I think. You can be in a depressed state of mind where you can’t be happy. I might have things wrong but that’s what I think
Yeah I had parents says I "get down" sometimes as in general sadness,but it's NOT the same as clinical depression.
@@Peteyzee98
I'm ashamed of how many times I mixed these two
But also many people are truly depressed these days. We all lack human interaction, feelings of trust, love and validation. That leaves us lonely, empty, and, in the end, depressed.
As someone who has been diagnosed with deep depression, I’m glad some people are teaching others about it.
Focus only on solutions, positive things, write down all the solutions, the good things for you, your body, your mind, your spirit, on papers and keep the papers with you, if you do this every day, your life and your being will truly change for the better
Especially today where depression and anxiety disorders are over diagnosed (mostly self diagnosed) it's relieving for many to hear that their occasional sadness isn't depression
Focus only on solutions, positive things, write down all the solutions, the good things for you, your body, your mind, your spirit, on papers and keep the papers with you, if you do this every day, your life and your being will truly change for the better
When you are feeling down too often, your body is trying to signal that your mental frame is off the charts and that you are stuck in between wishful thinking and actual reality.
Well shit-
Theres no difference between life and death. There is no purpose in closing the gap between the two.
@@ileryon4019 yo wtf
@Ahimsa42 It's true that you won't get confident without being successful at something, but you get there by failure. If you fail enough and learn from mistakes you get confident because you know you are prepared for most uncertainties through experience. That basic principle is applicable to most aspects of life but we are drawn to what makes us feel good. In turn we tend to avoid things that makes us feel pain, be it physical or psychological. I'm sure you know where I'm going with this and here is the problem from my experience. That mindset of yours that women see you as ugly and inferior is your brain trying to protect you from negative emotions. It doesn't want to feel whatever strong negative emotion you felt while dating again so it prevents you from trying. Trust me looks are way less important in finding a suitable partner, but if you go into dates with a negative mindset from the beginning that is naturally gonna turn women off. It's really hard to overcome this but there are very effective therapy options out there.

My depression make me
- sleep at 4am
- doesn't eat a lot
- make me cry everynight
- love being alone
- don't talk to them
- stay at room
Edit:
I'am totally fine its been a months since i recover and alot of people are still replying on my comment that they feel the same. Always remember this, i may not know what problems you've encounter right now, but i know your strong enough to face that kind of problem. I will pray for those people get well soon iloveyoou😘
I hv the same but I hv started to eat more
I do everything but cry because I physically can’t cry like I cried everything out soo everything is just inside me 😔😭
same i am awake til 4am and get up at 5pm and eat 1 meal a day at that
Same but I don’t have depression :~
Literally the same but I I have mood swings and cry over the littilest things

Tbh even if I know I've been feeling depressed, I sometimes feel like I'm just faking it or I just want attention. I always second guess myself and sometimes those are the reasons why I dont like telling people about, because I dont want them to say I'm faking it or to say it'll go away. But this video did help a bit with that though.
Edit: I've noticed a lot of people relate to this and even told their stories. To all those people who relate, I hope you are doing ok. Do not compare your sufferings to others, just because someone is suffering more doesnt mean you should ignore yours. Always take care of yourselves and dont forget to take breaks. I care about you guys even tho I havent met you guys, please make sure to talk to someone.
Edit #2: Its been 1 year or so since I have posted this and I would like to clarify everyone. I am not a doctor, I am also not claiming to have depression but I will edit the original post since there are things that are worded incorrectly. If you do however think like or feel like you have symptoms of depression, please go to therapy to confirm it. Its ok to think you have something but do not claim you have a mental illness without confirmation from a psychiatrist or psychologist. Thank you for reading this once again and have a good day, especially to those who have replied under this comment. I hope those who are suffering will find peace no matter what, you deserve happiness and I'm glad you are here. You are free to vent if you'd like also!!
Edit #3: I was diagnosed with severe depression lol
True
I feel the same
Same with ptsd really,i had abusive parents(both has thrown something very heavy and sharp at me)and told my friend,then i thoughtĺwhy am i doing this,i shoul have died so i would not have become this.....monster",no this is not fake,i (usually) bully people because it makes me hapy to know that someone feels like me...

That's why I prefer animals over humans
Wait you forgot one more.
Professionals: go take a walk and have a bath (this is camhs, I'm describing)
I-
As someone who's had depression, nobody can help you and there's no way out of it, surviving depression is mysterious as far as how some people do it.
I had two circumstances present that let me survive it, you do not fight depression, you do not control depression, the only thing you can do is endure it or end it all.
Depression is a lack of everything that matters to a human being you have no emotions, no self worth, your mind is swimming with doubts, you're overthinking, and even the things you liked have no way of saving you.
Depression is not a short term battle, it's like a constant war going on in your head a war of attrition, every day you survive is a day in which you are hanging on by a thread.
I don't know if you wrote this as a joke or not, but without meeting anyone in person and without anything else other than this, there's no way for me to guage this depression or how it's working.
If I met you in real life I would know you had depression before anyone else, and that would be before you even felt it yourself, before you show signs or tell us I would know.
But based on this I assume you just feel immensely alone, but that's already a lie of sorts, I get that there is two types of loneliness, one is the obvious one where you don't have any friends, the other is a type of loneliness that can't even be explained.
It's just loneliness, you feel like you'll never connect to anyone or anything, I too feel this loneliness, but there's no cure for it, it's something beyond our understandings.
But this only matters if this is not a joke, no, nobody can help you, and even if they could depression would not let you ask for help just like that, depression all starts with a lie that you believe.
Here's what I believe about depression, many people who have had it do go to get anti-depressants but I feel that this response is the worst way to get around depression ever.
I get it, depression is not technically natural so people just want rid of it instantly, but aren't they lying to themselves about that? Depression always comes from a lie and a reason, and to take the quick and easy path is to just run away from your problems.
Anti-depressants are a drug that serve as a temporary cure, an external source cannot cure depression, not permanently at least, it's a battle that we ourselves have to go through to truly be rid of the beast for good.
This is what I noticed
Most people who say that they're depressed so proudly probably just go through sadness
Most people who have depression rather hid it than say it because they're afraid of other people's responses

My Depression makes me
- Using Coffee as a coping mechanism, making myself feel sick due to caffeine overdose
- Failing to sleep (Partially due to my Coffee addiction)
- Makes me forget stuff more often
- Makes me isolate myself
- My spine keeps aching despite being physically healthy
- Makes me wish I was dead but I can't bring myself to do it
- Makes me socially distant
- Makes me bottle it up and act happy among my peers
- Makes me unexcited for the next day
- Not enough amusement gained from the things I used to love
- Makes me fear my family (Due to mental abuse due to my binge eating disorder and anxiety)
“ depression can affect normal eating and sleeping patterns.”

Do I have depression? I sleep at the day, I think it's high functioning insomnia, or maybe I'm a night owl
@@summersky8155 I guess it could be anything.. If it bothers you a lot and you can't function, it may be a good idea to see a doctor. :)
Something that I question a lot is how people have the courage and feel comfortable to talk about how they feel, I can't imagine myself doing that it's scary and uncomfortable.
Me too, it's so difficult for me to open up even to people who I know will care
Same I bottle up my feeling,I don't even tell family :/
It is still really difficult to me to open up to someone on a daily basis. Embrace an enormous bowl of courage and talk to someone who can be trusted or a professional healthcare. It is hell the first time, but it gets a bit better everytime. After a while, when you get a good therapist for you, it's like a living diary who understands and remembers and links things for you.
Be brave
Me too, it's really hard for me to open up to people.
Lemon_ Gorl me too. i find it really hard to open up to anyone, because i'm always afraid they won't understand. because when i try to tell someone, i always get shut out. so i always keep it to myself.
The last point she made about depression affecting your life is brutally accurate. When i’m having an episode, it’s so hard for me to find a reason to wake up in the morning, I feel physically weak with pain in my stomach. My head also physically hurts because of how toxic and cloudy my mind becomes which makes it harder than it already was before to remember things or concentrate. My school and social life are negatively affected because of this
Depression ruins my social life… made me super introverted

I really don’t think I’m depressed but recently I’be just randomly felt sad. Like sometimes I’m happy and then sadness just comes out. This has been happening for a couple of months. I have a few reasons to be sad but other than that I’m just upset for no reason. It’s hard because I’m bad at sharing, I’ve told nobody about my feelings.
“Depression also disrupts normal eating and sleeping patterns.”
Me, watching at 2 am without having eaten more than half a meal:
*Surprised pikachu meme*
Same my fellow, friend? Same
Eh me everyday lmao
That’s just me everyday
Like I don’t even bother to move when I’m in any sort of bed or chair even if it’s uncomfortable :/
Lol I'm watching this at 2:30 am and I haven't eaten
same.
people say "stop faking" or "you have nothing to be depressed about" and they dont even know what ive been through. thats like telling someone they didnt do something when they did.
exactlt.I am sorry people have been rude to you. Just remember that some people are selfish and I am sure you are an amazing person so keep fighting your battle until its won
It's hard when it's me who would tell that to myself. Not anymore tho, just a half.
Yes, people do that too. It's about them, not you. ❤️
Hang in there! People who don't experience depression have a difficult time understanding its effects.
ruclips.net/video/r8cQ_oD95zE/видео.html
I feel that
I feel like I have almost all the symptoms of depression, but sometimes I can be really happy and enjoy things. And even when for years I couldn't know just once what makes me feel the way I feel, now I can acknowledge it from time to time. I feel optimist about myself, healing mental issues takes time and hard work, like expressing, going to therapy or confronting your emotions and own history.
If I could do it you can do it too 💗💗💗
a big hug to everyone struggling with this
We also couldn’t figure out if they were depressed or just sad all the time?

Sadness is when you drop your sandwich.
Depression is when life kicks you.
TheGaelic SpacePickle hi my friend im looking for a youtube friend lets us help each other to grow.

Confirmed
Sadness is when you're actually sad by life's misfortunes like losing your spouse or a child, breaking up with a loved one, death of a friend.
Depression is laying in your bed and whining about nothing instead of getting your shit together and being thankful for everything you've got.
Most depressed people don't even have a clue what a real sadness is.
@@user-lt2dp5nm9z ah yes, because a chemical imbalance in the brain is definitely due to people being lazy.

Me finally opening up to my guardian his long I’ve felt like I’m never happy and don’t understand why:
Guardian: it’s because of your tablet. You’re always on there and you need to socialize more.
Me: *it’s hard when nobody checks on me when someone walks in in my crying and just walks out like I’m not worth their time.*
I’m still confused where I stand on this... have I just been sad for a long while, or am I asymptomatically depressed. I experience joys and happiness on short occasions but I always seem to go back to low points every couple of months.
Me too. I feel depressed but there's days when I laugh and have a good time. But even on those days, if no one is talking to me, I go in my head and start to think too much. And I hate talking about my feelings in real life so I probably won't ever know if I am really depressed or not
Same here! I’ve been feeling a lot of guilt and I’ve been hating myself for smaller or bigger things. I start to think about really dark and self harming thoughts I never ever would think of otherwise. I’m really happy from times to times. But afterwards it all feels wrong. I just hate myself and I can’t make it stop. I don’t know why. I am just cinfused
Me too
Same I think...it’s like I show no signs of depression so I believe it’s just sadness that with pass but it never does and everyday I want to hurt myself and give up but yet I’m still here and happy but not really
Same!
(based on my depression)
Depression:
•Makes me unlike the things i liked back then
•i want to be happy but can't bring myself to forget the past i had experienced
•Don't wanna eat
•tired to make any conversations with my best friends even tho i want to
•wants attention to the people you love but feels empty inside
•a feeling that you want to be happy but just not
And many more deep thoughts that you feel like hurting yourself

Sending this to kids in my class who act depressed because they were sad for one day 🥰
I knew this attention seeker who said herself after being asked if depression meant being sad for a short time is depression. She got so "depressed" over her brother messing up her Roblox game, and the worst part is she wouldn't listen to others problems and would actually say "oof" or "rip" when I was at my lowest

There is a whole lot of that I see in myself, I'm not officially diagnosed because even talking to a therapist growing up I hid a lot from that person like I did with a lot of people since I had a lot of trust issues. I was talking with my Psychology teacher in college and asked what can be done to deal with this, some things like working out to boost serotonin in my brain to help out with the problem. But still over the summer break, because I wasn't forced to get up and go somewhere, I just stayed in my bed all day and not having the motivation to even get up in the morning. I can experience happiness, but it will just go back to just my depressed unmotivated self. Now I try forcing myself to a schedule with these online classes, since I have to do this stuff, so the only motivating factor is when I have to do it. Otherwise, practicing on my hobbies is hard because I don't have to work on them and just go back stuff like binge watching videos and food.
i relate to literally everything u just said..I feel very unmotivated and keep asking myself "what is the point?".I do dance but I havent donee it in forever because I don't know I just feel so careless
Yeah and also i feel happy when im doing things but then i start thinking about the stuff that makes me break down they just overcome me

-ANOTHER stranger
I don't know but tbh i feel comfortable staying sad.
i had depression in 2011 & cried a lot at school. i saw the nurse, the social worker & a psychologist. i was up all night & had trouble sleeping but now im ok & dont have it anymore
I've had it since i was 13. When I voice it out, people would be like "Why are you so negative?". So now i just keep it to myself.
If you keep it to yourself, eventually you’ll just have a breakdown.
Depression feels like I’m in quicksand: the harder I try to get out and get help, the worse it gets. I’m pretty sure I’ve had it since I was in 4th grade, but didn’t realize until high school (mainly finding out through channels like this/talking to peers, not so much school). I could’ve been on my road to recovery a looong time ago. The American education system should incorporate self awareness and start early; childhood depression is a thing and destigmatizing mental illnesses can really help people.
Cherry Koolaid I agree, I live in Florida so school isn’t the best. Also I’m mega broke so I went to a lot of hood schools. They are SUPER FUN but I didn’t learn anything.
Mackenzie I’m really sorry that happened to you. Although we can’t prepare for everything life throws at us, learning how to properly deal with negative emotions/feelings early on should be considered very important. My prayers go out to you❤️
Mackenzie my uncle actually tried to murder my grandma because of marital issues so she has to wear a wig to hide the massive scar. He was sent to life in prison and died in prison. I never got to meet him cause he got locked up before I was born. She still has mental stuff wrong with her because of him. Shes going steady as of now but who knows, she might end back in the trailer her mom sent her to because she didn’t want her. I have no idea who he is but I’ve seen on picture of him, but it was years back and I can’t remember what he looked like in it. My family has some rocky history, countless drug overdoses and addictions. A ton of self harm because of very poor circumstances, like being mega poor and stuff. My grandma has some scary horror stories. Every member seems to carry a burden.
Thank you, this video was really helpful! I don't think I have depression, but it is sometimes difficult to tell the difference between that and other issues. I have a fair bit of anxiety, but even though some of the symptoms can overlap, it's not the same thing at all. Your points made this really clear.

I can relate long story short I had to work for someone who I really thought was my friend in fact he was like a brother to me but in the end he betrayed me for no reason and he emotionally abused me manipulated me and treated me like shit for a really long time not to mention he's proud of what he did to me luckily I quit on him but I left with too much anger vengeance and hatred against him that I unintentionally directed all my negativity on the love of my life who I've loved and cared about for 7 years and she and I were good friends she was always so sweet kind compassionate and amazing with me and she never had to be I pushed away and I never meant to do that and now I feel so much guilt pain heartbreak and depression and self hatred for what I did to her that I don't know what to do anymore I've cried about her 27 times in 6 months and I still love her and care about her a lot but now those real genuine feelings I have for her are honestly emotionally killing me every single day all I want is to make peace with her and become friends with her again but I don't know if she feels that way anymore I've tried moving on but somehow it's not working and the emotional pain and suffering keeps hitting me harder harder and harder luckily I'm a really stubborn guy and my stubbornness keeps me alive but like everyone else I have my limits and I can only fight it for so long🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️

- feeling guilty for even just using tissues because i feel like they will run out and then my parents have to be pay for it
- crying whenever someone talks about depression. i’m holding in my tears while watching this video
- i can’t stop thinking about death. i’m scared to die but i find myself often thinking “wish i was dead”
- trouble staying asleep
- loss of appetite
- feeling like a failure
I’ve been recently Diagnosed with depression and anxiety. When I was diagnosed the psychologist said that from what she hear it seemed like I was untreated for almost 2 1/2 years, and I didn’t even know the signs at first since my old school never said anything. If you have any signs go see a professional soon, even if it’s hard they aren’t allowed to share anything. I hope anyone reading this has a good day
I just don't know how to end this feeling anymore.. everything is so confusing
I might know a way- seek professional help 😉

How are you feeling right now?
@@Psych2go just got home from a 12 hour shift , favorite part of the day Sleep time. I appreciate you responding, I would appreciate some methods on helping with random urge to cry, thank u
@@Jadedgems tried it ..
I have both of sadness and depression. I often likes to go out and enjoy outsides but often I feel loss and no hope and really down.
Depression is caused by an imbalance of serotonin in the brain, the feeling usually just appears by itself or it appears because of a trigger. Sadness is always caused by a highly specific trigger. Depression is often characterized by feelings of numbness and emptiness, hypersomnia or insomnia, drastic changes in eating patterns (like binge eating or being unable to eat), and many other visible and invisible symptoms.
Mom: "everybody gets depressed sometimes"
Dad when I started antidepressants, but went out to support a friend's grad and went to his goodbye party: if you were depressed you wouldn't be able to get out of bed!
Dad on days when I cant get out of bed and my parents have a rule of me being up at a certain time: "do you realize what time it is? Get out of bed, stop being lazy, obey the rules in this house!"
🥱😔
Haley Eidsen It must be so hard for you. *sending virtual hug*
@@fluffylemon8665 thank you ❤❤☺
As disingenuous and cliché as it sounds, from the bottom of my heart, i hope anybody with depressuon gets better. But just saying it wont help though...
Haley Eidsen Here’s another 🤗
Ooof i can so relate with that "rule"
My mom used to yell at me for not getting out of bed, telling me that i am lazy, and irresponsible, cause now that I'm an adult, i have responsibilities to take care of
I hate when people say “happiness is a choice” because it’s like bish then why aren’t i happy
I hear that!!! Kindness is a choice but happinesses is not the same
Thank you! I really don’t understand it. People don’t want to be sad.
@Depressed Knower to whom I’m saying is you XD
@Depressed Knower ? I’m saying I don’t understand when people say happiness is a choice. I know what you’re saying, you’re just reading it differently
I actually search this out, because i was feeling down today and was unsure if it was sadness or depression... so thank you for posting this.
Thank you.. I sometimes feel sad for no reason. & ppl don't understand why, if I have no reason. I keep explaining this.. is a battle I have with my head.
I've been depressed my entire life. I don't remember a time when I was ever truly happy
I have resigned myself to the reality of being depressed for the rest of my life.
Thanks for sharing this with us! Being aware is the first step :) What do you plan to do next?
@@Psych2go I've been aware of it my whole life and I've taken mediation and spoke to therapists. None of it helped and I don't know what else to do.
Joel - yes I know how you feel. Been on anti-depressants for the past 50 years almost. At one stage became so depressed that I actually allowed doctors to ECT me NINE times before I finally came aware enough to ask why they were doing it to me. I think its because I'm not really cut out to be here - on planet earth I mean - don't like it and would try to escape but not actually self-destructive enough :'-(
@@joelmavity1467 Have found that burning 'geranium oil' does seem to help a bit have also got five cats to live for so have to make the effort for them.
When I tried to open up to someone about this before.. he just said "depressed people don't say they are depressed"
Okay.. maybe I was just sad for like a year?
It's like telling someone that really suicidal peiple dont tell about suicide. Doesnt mean they are fine, it just means theyre broken in a different way.
Thats sick im so sorry. Like how are you supposed to get better if you dont open up
@@senza4591 right
@@extrasaltedbutter yes it was sick but I'm doing better now. Thank you😊
That happened to me once
My online ‘friend’ was faking depression, which I called her out for and she responded by saying “well how do you know?”
Me: because i have depression
Her: depressed people don’t say they’re depressed you’re just saying that for attention
Sorry guys guess I’m not eating because I want attention 🤷
remember guys that if youve gotten out of a rough patch (sunny days), wanting to feel sad/depressed again ISNT attention-seeking. it just means you dont know how to feel anything other than numbness and sadness. i hope you guys are having a great day x
Focus only on solutions, positive things, write down all the solutions, the good things for you, your body, your mind, your spirit, on papers and keep the papers with you, if you do this every day, your life and your being will truly change for the better
I agree with all of these except the last one. People with depression often find it hard to get enjoyment out of previous things they liked, but it doesn’t mean a depressed person can’t be happy at all. Even in depression there can be moments of genuine happiness.
I really hate it when people say "I feel sad too sometimes" when I'm telling them that I have depression
they're just trying to make you not feel alone. what we supposed to do? Say we're happier than u?
@@xxxod well not really.. but that makes me feel more like they don't take my problems seriously. People sometimes don't understand that sadness and depression aren't the same thing
Yeah, same with my friends and family...
Ghost_girl
Well what would you like to hear? I feel like those with depression don’t always hear what they want to, but that’s because it’s difficult for most to understand where they are coming from.
when i’m sad i can’t even cry anymore so all i do at this point is pour my heart out into poems, while screaming my favorite sad songs. amazing
I write poems too when I'm sad
Try drawing, especially after or when listening to sad songs. Maybe make a poem to represent your favorite song.
Art is pretty epic. Just make sure you dont fall into the trap of atrributing your suffering to good art. Your art can be derived elsewhere, just not depression. Just uh, a bit of forewarning.
i dont listen sad song i listion those song which express my feeling
listining sad song makes me even more depressed
Wow thank you so much now ik that 1 year ago I was depressed but bc of your videos i learned how to deal with my depression and I talked with someone who I really trust and that made me get out of depression.
I kept a hole year trying to deal with it but after watching your videos I started having more corage to ask for help.
Thank you sooo much ❤️
Thanks Psych2Go. This video confirms I am depressed. Many people think you can snap out of it. They are just ignorant and insensitive. I am on medication and it helps me. God bless you all at psych2go. You are a blessing.
My friends always self diagnose themselves with depression. They are actually super cheerful... and they are like “IM A BIT DEPRESSED THIS WEEK-“ They are my youngest friend.
I hate people like that-
yeah one day my bf just spent all her day telling jokes and crazy stories to everybody in class then when she finished she sat next to me so I asked her what was going on she told me that she is feeling sooo depressed today, I was really pissed off so I just left the place.
Most people like this are just saying that, but there could be some people that hide their depression. Similar to the funny kid going home situation.
One of my friends actually was diagnosed with depression and I frequently watch your videos so I can understand how to help her. Thank you.
(Also, y'all in the comment section are great people, too.❤️)
You are an awesome person
You are a good person. I don't know you but thank you for being a good friend to your friend
Your friend must be so thankful to have you by her side. When I began struggling none of my friends noticed (I did try telling them) but in the end I was left alone. Just stay by her side even if she tries to push you away💜
Dear peoples in this comment,stay strong! I believe in you,you can do it ^^! And also,I'm proud all of you for helping your friend,I'm trying to do it too 😊♥️
@@mianin5679 The problem is that her parents when she suspected to have it and still wasn't diagnosed told her "Not to be depressed" and that "There is people who would want to live but can't for some terrible illness", and that just made her feel worse...
Is it just me who tired to reach out and get help but all I got was
“It’s okay we all have bad days”
“Same lol”
“Are you dangerous? I can’t be near someone so unstable”
And then the one person who tries to help just can’t be Ashe by that point you’ve lost all hope yourself
I think the only ones who can help people with depression are those who have either gone thru it or r going thru it or a professional .. a normal person could never understand our pain 😔
AROHA x ARMY yeah it’s true sadly, my head of year called my problems a little wobble I can easily get over
@@cyrusthelizardking I wish the best for you dear❤️❤️❤️
for GOD so loved the world that HE gave HIS only begotten SON that whoever believeth in HIM should not perish but have eternal life"-the Gospel of JESUS written by john 3:16."But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:"-the Gospel of JESUS written by john 1:12. hi! JESUS loves you and died for you if you accept HIM! HE rose from the dead to show us that death cant hold HIM! repent and start living your life for HIM and when the time is right HE will get you to Heaven🤍
also.. i know how that feels. ive been constantly told that. "we all have something we're struggling with". like yeah, sure we do, but everyone deals with pain differently and not everyone has the same story and background. if you want we can maybe be friends!
I literally remember having a conversation with a friend as a teenager saying "I feel sad," them asking why and me responding "I don't know." They would say things like, "that doesn't make sense," or " you're not fun to be around because you're sad all the time." Obviously we aren't friends anymore.
I'm sending this to all the people who self diagnosed themselves with depression
Edit: stop commenting on my shitty comment, this was 2 months ago.
Sending this to those who refuse to believe they have depression.
@@NicknameThe1st I don't actually-
Not all 14 year olds act like this
This was a joke
Lmao
oi 14 year olds can have depression too, there isn’t an age limit to mental illness. i’m 14 and have been diagnosed with general anxiety disorder :/
@@billcipherhater Like I've said before, this is a joke and I'm sorry if I offended you.
I don’t know what I am. I’m numb, I was sad for a while and now I’m just numb. I don’t laugh anymore, and now I keep to myself and stuff. WHAT AM I
Caitlin Taylor depressed
@@pipdragon7440 don't diagnose people, point blank you're not a professional l
You need to go to a doctor for that, please dont self diagnose.
Felt this it just feels like I either can’t feel emotions or that they’re really really numbed / like watered down 😐😶
try talking to your self, or drawing something happened to you for everyday and imagine that people are reading it, and coment on it, but only good coments like "blue chair" or "murrz" or "my gaint nerd boyfriend" on webtoon but in your own way, even if you draw stick men, and split your self, like, you start tp make conversation with yourself and your other self is trying to see wich os better while you are giving a problem and and so, at least that what I do, and try finding new hobbies, I believe we lost intrest not because we don't like it anymore or we grow up on it, but because we get used to it so much, like how we as kids will smile when seeing the moon follow us in the car and now we don't even look, because we believe the moon will always be there, and that's the same, so try new hobbies and find one you want to be a pro at, and get fun while doing too, that's what I do, if you have any questions, I'll tell you my opinion, if you have a different opinion, tell me to make a conversation to try finding the best option, or just change our believe
i had some medication that constantly made me sad for no reason,
it eventually got to the point where i could not taste the food i am eating nor find a reason to get up from my bed to do anything.
im not depressed but that was the closest thing to depression i've ever felt and i feel sorry for those who have to suffer with that every single day.
thank you. my bf always says he's depressed when he feels sad and it's over minor things but he doesn't know what it's like to suffer from depression. i suffer from major depressive disorder which is disregards. I'm gonna send him this video so that way he can get a better understanding. thank you 😊
I don’t have clinical depression (and I know I’m lucky not to) but I did have a depressive period when I was around 11. I will never, ever forget that disgusting, painful, empty feeling. Especially at such a young age. I remember very clearly that it was about school. And I remember seeing my parents look at each other worryingly. My dad decided to take me somewhere I really enjoyed, but it was no use. I thought that I school was an endless painful cycle. It was going to repeat over and over again. It wasn’t going to stop. I’m going to live the next 13 years of my life (including college) doing the same thing over and over again. Going to school, coming back home. Going to school, coming back home. Going to school, coming back home. I would have to see those teachers for longer than I’d see my family. I didn’t want to spend my life in school (to 11 year old me, 13 years did seem like my whole life). I haven’t even been alive for 13 years, and now I have to double my age and more? And even after that, I’d have to get a job. Go to work, come back home. Go to work, come back home. Go to work, come back home. That’s all my life would be. And by the time I’d retire, I’d be too old to actually have fun in life. I felt as if my life was empty. There was no meaning. I’m just a tiny speck that won’t benefit the world. This endless cycle of sadness. Loneliness. Worthlessness. I didn’t think there was a reason to be alive if that’s all there is to life. I’d rather be in heaven (was fairly religious at the time) than live in this hell on earth. I do believe the only thing that kept me alive was that I didn’t want my family to feel as if they’d done something wrong. I didn’t want them to grieve. And one of the most important factors, my dog wouldn’t know what happened to me. I truly was a child. Fearing a dog would be lonely is what kept me alive. Now imagine living with that ever day of your life. Or at least much longer than how ever long I had my depressive episode. Thinking back at it makes my stomach churn. Truly one of the worst feelings I have ever felt in my life. I cannot fully understand what clinically depressed people go through, but I really do sympathize as much as I can. I take what I feel, and double it. I could barely deal with it for that short(ish) time. I can’t imagine having to go through that every day.
Thank you for this!
This thought process is what actually made me depressed, and in 5 years since the beginning of these throughts my life didnt prove me else. Now that i know way more options and how to live a better life, i still cant get ouf of it, which sometimes really stresses me out, because i wonder if ill ever feel something again. Tho im taking steps to get better that are actually working right now, a diet change actually gave me enough energy to take more steps, sometimes its the beginning. I hope its not too late to get better, i waited those 5 years until i finally reached out to someone for help
How did you stop feeling this way? 🥺
“Truly happy, with no hidden shadows” hit kinda hard. I haven’t felt that in so long
I needed this! Thank you so much!
I hate the feeling of going to bed every night at 4am knowing the next day will be exactly the same
And only to wake up tired feeling like i havent slept at all
"there are many misconception surrounding depression, like it's a choice"
Hold up
Yeah depressed people totally choose to feel miserable everyday oof I hate when someone says that
Ah yes, people totally choose to feel miserable for months to years at a time, totally choose to physically harm themselves and totally choose to attempt to kill themselves. Yes, that is totally all a choice. God, why do people say that depression is a choice. It's even worse when teachers say it. Like I want to kill these people but I would go to jail and I like having a clean criminal record.
Doodle Shiny so true

Person: You know, I've been feeling really depressed...
Me an idividual, who doesn't know how to deal with my own problems:

*"It be like that sometimes."*
i found your video very helpful .in my i always found alcohol and drugs helped me and way over working was an easy fix but in the end it over exhausted me physically and mentally. due to your video i have started feeling better in myself. haven't stopped the working.what can i say im i workaholic. love my job and i love learning.cut the drugs and alcohol out to an extent. birthdays catching up with friends ext. must better that 15-20 cans a night and other stuff i shouldn't be doing.id just like to thank you for for being a voice out there that people can lesson to and relate to.thank you dearly from myself and others that suffer with depression. i hope this video helps as much as its helped me
The fact that the sad person look at a black and white cat make me think of my cat. She died recently and it’s hard to let someone you love go ❤
"If you have a phobia, Fight it."
"so you're saying I should die and then not fear it...? "
I’m currently doing and assignment at school and the topic I chose was depression this really helped me. Thank you!
My parents always ask me if I really am depressed or just sad. And watching this showed that I do in fact deal with depression a lot.
whenever i’m alone, i feel like i can never be happy but when i’m with someone i smile
I wanted to be a psychologist when i grow up, your channel Psych2Go really helps me with my learning! love you guysss
Glad it enjoys you Kenji! :)
Wow, now there's 3...
Make it a 4...
i’m #5...
Nr. 6 here...
So I’m not very sure if I have depression, here’s what I do have
Some days when I’m sad, it slowly fades
Some days I just feel so sad and..empty without any reason at all.
I don’t want to eat a lot of snacks that I usually like to eat because I’m insecure about my weight.
I’m more insecure than I used to be.
Sometimes when I’m sad, I take it out on other..or get mad because I’m sad.
Sometimes I don’t want to do anything and just stay home.
So what do you think? Do I have depression or not?
That's what i want to know too. i don't know much about this topic. Are there different kinds of depression? or is depression the same for everyone?
i feel like i *definitely* don't have it
but i also feel like i'm not "happy" like a normal person.
It's probably just my mind tricking me or smth like that tho..
@Weird_Person, i can absolutely relate to that
Its possible that an eating disorder could be causing this. Im not a doctor though so you'd have to look into it.
feel like you should seek medical help
Idk ask a psychologist
Wow!!! I’m at times guilty & quick to say, get over it…. Life is to be enjoyed not to sit there let the sadness 😞 take over your life. Ty this video help me understand more about mental illness.
