What I hate about it is when you open up about it to the people you are close with and they just shrug you off and give you advice like it is easy to just snap out of it and be happy.
Most of them have never experienced the levels of depression that others have, or they have and found it easy to deal with...that's why it's easier for them to tell you get over it
I got straight As all through school and everyone thought that ment I was fine. The worst part is I told so meny people I wasn't, but all they said was "your doing great!!" "Just keep going". Yeah, I was doing great, because I felt worthless and wanted to compensate for that.
Это буквально моя история! На оценках держалась моя самооценка, но никому и в голову не приходило, что у меня проблемы. Даже когда я начала причинять себе боль...
What people don't realize is depression isn't an emotion, it's a mental state. You can be happy, sad, angry, any emotion you want to feel but at the end of the day the depression is still there.
Depression is a mental state which also has a direct impact on the physical health. It’s such a complex thing. Mental illness is not just being lazy or sad..or angry.. or whatever. I’m glad that people are spreading information because honestly some people who have mental illness can’t even make sense of what’s happening to them… this helps a lot. We are no longer hiding in the shadows.
People think of depression as deep sadness, but it's really deep despair. Sadness is hurting because you're unhappy. Despair is becoming numb to sadness, joy, anger, fear, etc. because you see no point to any of it. It's how so many people with depression can still remain functional and how so many of their family members & friends can be blindsided when they end it all. "But they didn't seem depressed!"
I think you are describing resignation as a mental attitude that can follow a long period off despair. Despair is a strongly choatic feeling and very emotional while the numbness you can up in is the opposite of that. Depression can be many things but often its someone pushing through in survival mode while shutting their feeling off
@@EmilyWebster-sj5kq I never thought that i was depressed. But the moment, killing myself came into my mind, I understood the cause of it. I feel like i want to disappear every now and then.
I’m praying for you in Jesus name. I have faced the same. We need you! I pray for God to meet you where you are. The only One who has lifted me up out of it is Him. Seek Him and look to those who you love and trust. God bless🙏🏻
at that time Jesus said: "Come to me all who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, learn from me for I am meek and lowly in heart and you will find peace for your souls. Indeed, my yoke is sweet and my burden is light." Matthew 11:28-30 Personally I am witnessing that. i thank Jesus and ofcourse Mary for giving me better life ❤️
This is so true. I was sitting in my room crying and then my friend texted me so I wiped my tears and started joking with her even though I’m really sad and want to just sleep

This is true! I was depressed like a year ago, I would have to force my self to eat, always acted happy at school, cried silently at night, and would never say anything about it. Until one day I was with my mom and I was just staring straight ahead trying not to cry until my mom said “What are you thinking about?” I burst out to tears and told how sad I have been feeling and she rubbed my head and calmed me down. I started doing more things for myself. I started to let my emotions out started to do counseling and know that it’s ok to be sad. Like a month later it was completely gone. And today I am the happiest I could be!🤗 All thanks to my wonderful mom who supported me and let me know that I am ok!
You see this wont work for me because I trusted someone talked to them and they betrayed me and I told them things I didnt tell anyone even my family they scared me now I have deep rooted trust issues and just mask at school and bury myself in youtube at home to hide it.
Aww, this made me cry; I'm so happy for you! Having a loving mother is something to be very thankful for. ❤ I always said I didn't know what I would do without my mom because she was my biggest supporter and cheerleader. She was proud and thought that I was capable of anything. Now that she is no longer here, I'm lost. Empty. Emotional. Lonely. Angry. Etc. I've also lost motivation to do tasks even though I am still technically "functioning." I returned to school and am almost finished, about to receive my bachelor's degree (with honors). It seems like the things that I am "achieving" don't matter; I am pessimistic about what my future holds. I'm isolated besides having my 2 children. They do help me feel better by loving me, no matter what. ✨️ I hope you are still doing well, and hug your mom for me! 🥹🫂💔❤️🩹
People think depression is just being sad but it’s more than that, it’s despair, hating yourself, being angry and than happy, pushing others away from you even though they show you love, comparing yourself to other people constantly, finding no more joy in the purpose of life, feeling like you don’t want to live anymore, being self conscious all the time. 😔☹️
EXACTLY, today I went to like a family trip and we took a lot of photos and my mother and father were like you always don't engage in family you are so selfish because I wasn't giving a genuine smile. I am struggling with depression and anxiety and I'm not the person to tell my parents or friends about stuff like this. I'm always on my desk studying not interacting with anyone in the house because I want to keep myself busy and they always assume why.
Im sure from the comments you can tell already but it kinda feels like nothing can will or ever has gone good you cant feel any emotion other than sadness if your lucky and there is absolutely no will to keep living and the only thing keeping you alive at least for me is fear, but its just a constant pain and suffering day and night and your expected to operate normally just like everyone else every day and your made fun of for opening up about it, i think i covered almost everything:)
@@H.K.5The truth is people care if it inconveniences THEM, and they just want the inconvenience to stop. If they can tell themselves that you’re either “OK” or just being deliberately impossible, their lives become easier. Another truth is that we don’t live for rational reasons. Survival instinct is 100% illogical. 😵💫
My life changed when I decided to take my health in my own hands. I started walking outside then added brisk walk then light jogging.- life changing. Also I started drawing and painting n making things. These days I clean the home more and it REALLY does get BETTER. Start loving yourself because YOU MATTER ALLOT. Plus human beings are discovering their superpowers--- this is important because we all have a PURPOSE. @@H.K.5
@@misspat7555everybody has a life purpose , a life calling like a souls calling. Humans are discovering their superpowers like astral travel and timetravel
Exactly! My Psychiatrist once told me I was a high functioning morbidly depressed individual. He was spot on. I just hid my depression thru my work. I was always working and “doing”.

I am an english teacher and want to committ suicide everyday yadiyadiyadiya. One student once told me "hey teacherr you are so full of energy and vitality and are happy all the time cracking jokes! How do you do it?" I just laughed and said something like "you guys are awesome thats the reason!" I always think about that, people cannot see past my façade. I am completely alone in this, it hurts really. I have to fake so much of myself to stay functioning in this life. In this world. I hate it so much.
For all the people who are dealing with this I am so sorry you deserve peace and happiness and so much more. You are important. You are not a waste. You’re beautiful you are handsome you are smart and talented. What do you feel and what you think what’s in your mind, and in your heart is important you deserve to be listen to you deserve happiness
About 3 days ago I found out about my 2 oldest sisters had depression, but opposites. One was laying in bed all day, struggling to stay alive, losing motivation, and all that stuff, while my older sister threw herself in work, trying to make herself seem hardworking and determined, and all she cared about was work. When I found out it changed my view on depression, knowing now that depression can look different in many ways that I never knew before
Hey, Life is as realistic as death, what life has that its better is that you can eliminate the suffering and feel only Pleasure, death is lame and stupid, there was a point for you to live and that is for you to have fun, So Focus on that!
I can totally understand. I was in same condition few years back. Please go to doctor speak your heart out. It is curable. You are not alone ❤ I wish for your good health 💟🙏
Day by day ? I say take it moment by moment present. Be the Observer of your thoughts and emotions. Know what is your pain body and how to heal it. Learn about how to abide in the inner-body. Learn the power of now. This is all practical. Human suffering is created for the most part because we are identified with the mind. If we don’t choose to wake up now, we will be awoken in time with greater suffering.
I just stare at the wall. tears on my face and overthinking everything.. I try to stop crying but when I think about the problem I feel weak and let it all out.. the worst part is that I hide it from everyone
I understand, tell someone you trust. If you have no one, I recommend telling Jesus. He can take away all your pain, burdens, EVERYTHING your bottling in. Jesus died for you for a reason. God bless you. 🩷 Is it okay if I pray for you? Just know the Holy Spirit can guide you to the right paths. Jesus loves you, my friend. If you need anyone to talk to, you can too me, if your comfortable with it! ❤❤
This is so true… and every time your loved ones memorial comes around or birthdays or holidays your reminded more of the memories therefore you become distant during that time & your other family members & friends think your being cold & means towards them when they don’t even understand or remember that no matter what your always going to be sad every day & especially during those times your emotions are more intense… but nope they forget or expect you to just move on because of so many years now have gone by and they start acting cold with you too… so now I just say fuck it I don’t care anymore… I’ve lost the ones I loved the most & never thought I would have to bury them so anyone else that wants to walk away go ahead… we all leave one day…. No body understands until you actually know what it’s like to live that.

Mindset always try to engage in the right ways Now read the first letter of every word You Matter! no matter what other people may say. Always know this is true. It helps. You are worth my time to write this. I do care.
Depression is basically burning from inside, being paralyzed, becoming totally numb and feeling stuck with incredible inner pain & having demons within your head killing you mentally, physically and emotionally. Its insanely difficult to battle depression especially if you are own your own. To anyone with depression or anxiety, I swear to God you are not alone and you are loved and you deserve so much more love and respect. Please don't give up. Seek help. People will take care of you but you need to take that first step. Do it for yourself.
Uhm from what I've experienced ppl you tell about your problems and ppl that say "I won't tell anyone I swear!!" well, too bad BC THEY ALWAYS TELL PARENTS AND MAKE YOUR LIFE FCKING WORSE
Very correctly put. I have gone through for more than 1 year and still going through but intensity has reduced. Keep yourself busy. I got performance appraisal even when i was working under depression. My subordinate complimented me saying that i cool and nice boss. But inside i only know what i was going through. But it motivated to keep myself busy . So my advice would be keep yourself busy if u want to get out of early.
I remember few years back after my wife died, I was left alone with 3 kids. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with ADHD. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment changed my life for better. I can proudly say i'm totally clean for 6 years and still counting. Always look to nature for solution to tough problems, Shrooms are phenomenal.
How does depression feel like do u get sleepy when u do things you once enjoyed and nothing matters anymore but u have to do it I still like things but I get super bored of everything like if I'm doing something for too long I get sleepy and head hurts anyone else feel this way and its better to do nothing
Depression is not shown to others because it is seen as embarrassing so it's actually likely to be both. You get on with your day without showing any emotions to just break down or feel low in your room where no one will give you a reaction.
Sometimes its not even depression. Its realisation. Nothing has inherent meaning. And thats limits the amount of options that are worth fighting for basically to Zero. I really love the Idea that Humans should be able to End their life just by pure willpower. Like right now, im in my Bed, i should be able to just tell myself: You will not wake up anymore. Gosh, thats peace of Mind right there.
I’m literally sick of trying, and chasing goals, and coming up with reasons to like living. I hate to say it that way but I feel like that’s what life is, finding something to live for and enjoy life about. I realize that on the inside there’s something missing or underdeveloped and I just can’t live life like a mentally healthier person can. I have to try extra hard just to be a healthy person on a baseline level which makes having daily life goals on top of that EXTRA strenuous, but no one knows the work I do every second of everyday. THATS the painful part. They just judge the pouting and the “deer in headlights” look on my face, but I’m not only sad but I’m tired. I’ve been at this all my life and sometimes I feel like I’m just not there yet. I wish I could just turn my brain and emotions off, maybe I can get more done. I’ve just become worse as a human as the years gone by. Self preservation and survival has been the name of the game, I don’t even think I’m capable of loving myself and others like I use to feel when I wad younger. That childlike heart is wilted.
My husband has ADHD, depression and was on medication for many years. When we moved and he had to get a new Doctor. Unfortunately because my husband was nearly 68, the Doctor said ADHD medication was not recommended for someone his age and he wouldn't renew his prescription. The Dr didn't even offer to wean him off the meds! He left him with no meds and had him go. God so kind a friend recommended us to mushrooms (psilocybin) precisely. After his experience with shrooms five years ago till now there's no more ADHD, depression and mental disorder. Shrooms are life changing. There is no way you can put into words what it feels like..
Please don’t suffer alone. Talk to someone you trust, supressing everything is not good for you, you can vent to me if you don’t mind? Your not alone ❤
I don't know if it's but I have E to keep a secret from my mom and my heart it's telling me go tell ur mom I did the last night 🌙 but I used to cry eve Cry night.so I understand
I have Depression and Anxiety and a bunch of mental health/health problems in my family. I’m currently a 14 year old boy who just started Highschool and I’ve been dealing with a lot of family problems throughout my life so far. I hate it when people stereotype these things and depression doesn’t have an exact form, it can be shown in multiple ways. For me I would rip my hair out, I would stay on my phone all night till 5 am, sleep all day, skip school, fight people and verbally harass others. I was not in best state of mind and I’m still not, I’ve gotten better though. My mental health wasn’t the only thing affected, my physical health as well. I was chubby to skin and bones, my ribs were visible through my chest and I was weak. I was also very exhausted and became very pale from isolating myself in my room, with little to no contact for almost a year. I wanted to say that if any of you are struggling with things, please tell someone, I made and still am making the horrible choice of keeping my problems to myself, talk to people, it will help you.
@CharlieUrFavPookiesometimes depression and anxiety can come with you not liking people telling you can do it, they feel like they you actually don't care or they don't like talking
I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling well inside. I always wondered if bubbly people were really happy all the time, or they were just putting on a brave face, to not burden others. I low key envy you. Because, my sadness peaks through, it shows on my face despite my best efforts to hold it all in. Not that I wanna hide it completely, but I'd like to be able to chose when and who I share this with, lol 😅
We were talking about suicide and my really smart favorite teacher told me she had had 3 of her friends this year commit suicide and that they were always so “happy” and then she looked at me and said “ it’s always the happy ones”..
It's some truth to that because I overheard a coworker say that I was always happy...whaaat...I guess this is the impression I give off because I try to be pleasant and positive, I don't like bringing people down...people have said I'm bubbly, a person I literally just met recently said I was bubbly..I'm telling you looks can be deceiving, If they only knew, they'd all be shocked.
I hope you’re doing okay friend. You are so strong for dealing with this because it can be really hard. But never give up and know that you can work through it. There is always hope. I’ll pray for you friend. Jesus loves you, as shown by His life, death, and resurrection to give us all eternal life. He is there for you too “The Lord is close to the broken-hearted and saves those crushed in spirit” Psalm 34:18
Sometimes people with depression are those most smiling and showing joy in the workplace all the time...because they overdo the acting to make it convincing. Nobody is happy all the time. So this is how you can spot it as well
The word'' depression'' ,first time i heard that word from my frnd ...i never knew wht it was.. life was very hard for me in my 18... i never knew i had been going through one ,its like i am swimming in ocean without knowing its a ocean...i thought its just water ,u just have to swim to survive..but it was diffrent...now i am ok,but really deep inside not. Just living with a flow. Guys whoever is going through this , take help, dont loose urself ,u r stronger than u think,speak to urself, love urself ,ask urself how precious u r ,stop hurting urself . sending lots of love and prayers ❤❤❤
This world was just lacking for love, everyone needs that. The moments you spend with people you shall cherish it every second. Most of all people ignore being open hearted and that explains why people get depressed.
Thank you! It's frustrating when you try and confide in people you're struggling through depression, but they counter with "Oh, you don't *look* depressed, you're still doing this or that etc." They don't get that being productive and internally drowning in despair aren't mutually exclusive.
The first one is crippling depression. This is the point in which you start losing jobs, losing friends, and have no energy to do anything. Maybe need someone to take care of you. The second one is functioning depression in which you can still do stuff and are trying to keep everything together even though you could be at the brink of losing it.
I embrace my sadness now, rather than try to go against it. If I get a burst of energy before it kicks in, I use that to get things done especially with 2 small children under 5. Hang in there everyone.
If you please allow me to give you advice. start taking L-tryptophan, Omega 3 and D vitamins as supplements, these supplements have helped me a lot, sunlight every morning is very important at least 15 min. Therapy works as a form of support but most important building a relationship with Jesus Christ is what keeps me going and gives me the freedom.
Not trying to diagnose, but have you looked into bipolar 2? A lot of people overlook it because when you say bipolar, most people think of the stereotypical symptoms. With bd2, tho, the highs are not real high but the lows are really low. That is why the highs get overlooked because you may think u r just happy n having a good day. Just thought id say something because you said burst of energy before it hits n it can be like that.
Hey, I'm really struggling mentally at the minute and have become s*icidal (just censoring because otherwise RUclips would remove the comment) I dont know how to tell people or how to get help but I don't want to hurt people if I go so I'm really trying to hold in there but I'm so close to breaking. Do you have any advice?
@@AlfredDoesArt I hope you've found a way to keep going. My advice is, just tell the truth. That you're feeling horrible and that you can't seem to take it anymore. Then, be humble enough to seek professional help: everyone has different needs, so if you need mental help, you have the right to get it. Hope this helps 😊
The first one is very accurate. We stigmatize people who look sad. I don't trust people claiming to have smiling depression. You can't hide depression. It doesn't make sense.
@@narlywaves2371 You can definitely hide depression. I rarely ever cry when i am with people and i've been wanting to kill myself for the last 3 to 4 years. Never did it because of fear, but i want to.
It becomes even more difficult when you have to show everyone that everything is okay while only you know how tough it's.... You can't even show to your family because you don't wanna stress them and also because they won't understand
I absolutely hate it when you have sad or have anxiety or lack confidence and people say, “just push yourself and try to be be more confident, it’s not that hard!” Or “cheer up, there’s nothing to be sad about, just try to be a bit happier” because it’s really not that easy.
this is so true i am dealing with depression and most ppl don't think i have depression cos i am always laughing and smiling but the truth is that i don't actaully feel that way inside

This is very true, and is very important to keep in mind. There are probably, no, definitely at least one person who you see every day, or many times during the week, that is suffering through something, and you probably don't realize. It is always a good idea to check in with your friends, keep an ear out for how they are speaking or what they are saying, how much energy they have, and if its more or less than normal, so you can help them.
Life does sucks. But know that Jesus can help you! You can (if you want) place you trust in Him! He died for you and loves you so much, it’s hard to explain. His love is amazing. When we follow Him, It doesn’t mean our lives are PERFECT, we will go through stuff and the devil is real, sadly. Can I pray for you? I’m not gonna force you, you can choose. ❤
My mum. She’s depressed. She’s a single mum who has multiple health problems and has a disabled arm. She also has me to deal with and skips meals. I try everything to support her but she doesn’t notice and I don’t want to lose her I love her so much
I told my family and friends i feel like a failure when they ask me "are you okay?" And they said I'm seeking for attention/it's all in your head/you have nothing to feel depressed. Then i hand them the result from the psychiatrist that said i have a severe depression. Since then, i never told anyone about my feeling. Don't ask someone "are you okay?" when you don't mean it guys.. it hurt..
They only ask if you’re okay but they never suspect that it would be depression. Many people like to anyhow say when they know almost nothing about depression like smiling depression 😢
Well unfortunately my country is an extrovert country and people here are extroverted. Now i feel like im the only one who is introverted being forced to be extroverted
I am on anti depressent since 2012...and people around me never saw me upset or crying I always smile and try to be active in everyday life I just don't wanna show my tears to anyone because people starts to judge you easily. But thank god I hv gt a beautiful family my parents are my strength that why I am surviving everyday.

It can look like that too. But for me, even with friends, I'm still feeling low. I just try my best to not bring the mood/vibe down (don't always work as sometimes I'll just stop talking all together)
Me RN 😔 its tough. Alot of ppl think its easy to get over it. But only one knows how it feels. No motivation at all. All the things youve enjoyed can no longer enjoy and seem useless
It's hard and I hate when people tell me to get counseling. I just feel like they just want to hand me over to someone else instead of helping with the pain.
When I tell my daughter to consider counseling is because I really don’t have the skills or tools to help her heal. Most times it is well intentioned to advise to reach for help.
I’m saying this as someone with depression and a slew of other things: Assuming you’re an adult, it’s your responsibility to go get help. Depression is a treatable illness. Medication will help you chemically, counseling will help with coping skills. Sometimes you do just need a friend for a shoulder to cry on, and a good friend will be there for that when it’s needed. But if you’re not taking steps to help yourself, no one else is going to be able to help you, and you’re just going to become an energy vacuum for the people in your life If you’re still a kid, that’s a different story. You still need to get help, but you’re going to need help to get help. Talk to a parent. If your parents don’t help, talk to any adult who you trust. Preferably someone at school maybe with some kind of authority who isn’t afraid to go to your parents and suggest getting you treatment. Get the ball rolling. Either way, best of luck. Be strong and get treatment.
Therapists are equipped to deal with this. You may see it as they dont care, but maybe they just recognize that they cant help. Depression is a bitch and it makes you believe things that are not true. Also, like someone else said, it is our job to seek help from professionals. Just like if you got a broken bone, you wouldnt go to a family member to fix it; youd go to the er. Ive been in a place where i cried for help n no one did anything. I suffered for years. Ive learned that it is up to me to help myself, and yes it is hard taking the first step, but no one can take it for you. Sometimes it is easier to blame everyone else because in a fucked up way, we dont wanna be healed. Why? Because this is what we know and are used to n in its own way it feels comfortable. Thats why we need professionals to help us rewire our brains and thought patterns. So do it for yourself because you deserve it.
Nah most people don’t get it. Plus not every person going through depression has similar experiences with it so it’s harder for them to relate to each other.
My emotional pain seems to have a stronghold on me, its grip unyielding and relentless. It's like a dark shadow, always lurking in the corners of my mind, ready to surge forth at the slightest provocation. No matter how hard I try to run from it, to hide from it, it always finds me. It's a relentless cycle that appears to know no end, a vicious circle of emotional distress that I can't seem to shake off.
People say ‘depression is like being sad all the time’ because that’s the easiest way to explain it, for me at least it’s not like that, in fact I have a complete absence of emotion, pleasure etc. it feels you you are just sitting in a cold bare corridor waiting to grow old and die. Interestingly I don’t experience dreams and don’t recall anything upon waking. And I get headaches.
Many people don't show what they're dealing with, and unfortunately many people who we see as "normal", suffer from so much shit that they end up taking their own life which is honestly really sad to know people around us could reach to this extent without us seeing any kind of red flag
Hey,that is so true,you just don't want to do anything at all instead of just lay there,and want to didsapear,but don't let life's mistakes,hurts,etc,affect your future,use your weaknesses to your strength and in time you will succeed in life,and your guardian Angel is always by your side,very good way to express that feeling.🤘
Here’s a little poem… You accuse me of everything and still I hide the pain i try so hard not to cry no one can know what’s inside i try to hide the brokenness to keep away the hopelessness you never hear what I have to say as if my voice is miles away no one truly sees me for who I really am they only see the outside cause that’s all they can i always have anxiety about the simplest things I’m terrified of society but you say to spread my wings this is what depression is and yet you still are blind you never notice any of this because it’s all inside my mind
I love your hair I love your eyes I love your strength I love your voice I love your style I love your eye lashes I love your nose I love your confidence I love your forehead I love your hands I love your shoulders I love your ears I love your cheeks I love your mouth I love your personality I love that you are brave I love that you are kind I love that you are strong I love that you are you I love that you are smart I love that you are creative You are beautiful You are nice You are confident You are smart You are unstoppable You are perfect You are unique You are amazing You are pretty I love you when you’re mad I love you when you’re sad I love you when you’re happy I love you when you’re anxious I love you when you’re embarrassed I love you when you’re cheerful I love you when you’re disappointed I love you when you’re at your lowest I love you when you’re at your highest I’m proud of you for eating I’m proud of you for setting goals I’m proud of you for getting up I’m proud of you for learning I’m proud of you for trying I’m proud of you for smiling I’m proud of you for going outside I’m proud of you for spreading kindness I’m proud of you for being you I’m proud of you no matter what I know you’re insecure but everyone is I know you’re not happy but your not alone I know you’re getting bullied but don’t listen to them I know you’re sad but try to be happy I know you’re miserable but your still standing I know you feel hated but you are loved I know you feel sad but deep down you’re happy I know you feel disappointed but you are proud I know you are depressed but smile!! insecurities are only real because of society, so ask yourself.. “would you be who you are right now if it weren’t for them?” and what would you say? don’t hate yourself, because you are worth the world! everyone is different and that’s a good thing. don’t be insecure, just set goals! be yourself and learn to love who you are

School is tough.... oh btw I hope your alright now❤
True
What I hate about it is when you open up about it to the people you are close with and they just shrug you off and give you advice like it is easy to just snap out of it and be happy.
Yesssss
I feel EVERY BIT of this comment plus on top of that it just makes you feel even more alone
Most of them have never experienced the levels of depression that others have, or they have and found it easy to deal with...that's why it's easier for them to tell you get over it
They forget we are all different ❤
True. They tell you oh just be happy. You're like what?!
I got straight As all through school and everyone thought that ment I was fine. The worst part is I told so meny people I wasn't, but all they said was "your doing great!!" "Just keep going". Yeah, I was doing great, because I felt worthless and wanted to compensate for that.
You sound like me.
I was the Hero Child yet also the Scapegoat.
It’s crazy how you can achieve so many great things in life and still feel numb afterwards.

@@Daria-a16z Are you my clone?
What people don't realize is depression isn't an emotion, it's a mental state. You can be happy, sad, angry, any emotion you want to feel but at the end of the day the depression is still there.
Accurate
Depression is a mental state which also has a direct impact on the physical health. It’s such a complex thing. Mental illness is not just being lazy or sad..or angry.. or whatever. I’m glad that people are spreading information because honestly some people who have mental illness can’t even make sense of what’s happening to them… this helps a lot. We are no longer hiding in the shadows.
@@Ytbkt i was depressed. Litteraly a few days ago and maybe even now😢
It’s a very emotional thing not just mentally it tears you down emotionally more than mentally it’s different for everyone else
Yea i think i have depression....
People think of depression as deep sadness, but it's really deep despair.
Sadness is hurting because you're unhappy. Despair is becoming numb to sadness, joy, anger, fear, etc. because you see no point to any of it.
It's how so many people with depression can still remain functional and how so many of their family members & friends can be blindsided when they end it all.
"But they didn't seem depressed!"
Playing charades makes it all harder too. Speak up and get help.
YOU DEFINITELY HIT THE HEAD ON THE NAIL WITH THAT POINT....GOD BLESSINGS EVERYONE ❤🙏🏾
What you wrote is 💯 true
To the point... accurate.... The numbness and the pointless ness
I think you are describing resignation as a mental attitude that can follow a long period off despair. Despair is a strongly choatic feeling and very emotional while the numbness you can up in is the opposite of that. Depression can be many things but often its someone pushing through in survival mode while shutting their feeling off
The fact that I look completely normal and happy to others and even I am convinced to be okay when I'm clearly not
I'm so sorry your going through this
I go through this to, and my 19 daughter takes medication for depression
So i definitely understand
How do you know you’re not if you think you’re fine and laugh and other people think you’re happy
@@EmilyWebster-sj5kq I never thought that i was depressed. But the moment, killing myself came into my mind, I understood the cause of it. I feel like i want to disappear every now and then.
Well same here I've been facing this problem
I’m praying for you in Jesus name. I have faced the same. We need you! I pray for God to meet you where you are. The only One who has lifted me up out of it is Him. Seek Him and look to those who you love and trust. God bless🙏🏻
Don’t forget the smiles with tired eyes behind them

@@americanwalmarts3565I think we’re built different because we’re strong! Stay in the good fight 💪
This is true!
I was depressed like a year ago, I would have to force my self to eat, always acted happy at school, cried silently at night, and would never say anything about it. Until one day I was with my mom and I was just staring straight ahead trying not to cry until my mom said “What are you thinking about?” I burst out to tears and told how sad I have been feeling and she rubbed my head and calmed me down. I started doing more things for myself. I started to let my emotions out started to do counseling and know that it’s ok to be sad. Like a month later it was completely gone. And today I am the happiest I could be!🤗 All thanks to my wonderful mom who supported me and let me know that I am ok!
It s become really difficult when the family doesn't care , they just think you are lazy and arrogant and no one really looks into it.😢
You see this wont work for me because I trusted someone talked to them and they betrayed me and I told them things I didnt tell anyone even my family they scared me now I have deep rooted trust issues and just mask at school and bury myself in youtube at home to hide it.
Aww, this made me cry; I'm so happy for you! Having a loving mother is something to be very thankful for. ❤ I always said I didn't know what I would do without my mom because she was my biggest supporter and cheerleader. She was proud and thought that I was capable of anything. Now that she is no longer here, I'm lost. Empty. Emotional. Lonely. Angry. Etc. I've also lost motivation to do tasks even though I am still technically "functioning." I returned to school and am almost finished, about to receive my bachelor's degree (with honors). It seems like the things that I am "achieving" don't matter; I am pessimistic about what my future holds. I'm isolated besides having my 2 children. They do help me feel better by loving me, no matter what. ✨️ I hope you are still doing well, and hug your mom for me! 🥹🫂💔❤️🩹
People think depression is just being sad but it’s more than that, it’s despair, hating yourself, being angry and than happy, pushing others away from you even though they show you love, comparing yourself to other people constantly, finding no more joy in the purpose of life, feeling like you don’t want to live anymore, being self conscious all the time. 😔☹️
most relatible thing I've ever heard
Folks laying around in funk letting their house go dirty not combing hair
Nailed it
Being angry and then happy sounds more like BPD or some other personality or mood disorder lol
Wow that's me everyday
I understand this feeling unfortunately. And the worst thing is when they call you selfish.
EXACTLY, today I went to like a family trip and we took a lot of photos and my mother and father were like you always don't engage in family you are so selfish because I wasn't giving a genuine smile. I am struggling with depression and anxiety and I'm not the person to tell my parents or friends about stuff like this. I'm always on my desk studying not interacting with anyone in the house because I want to keep myself busy and they always assume why.
My only friend is toxic to me and he says I'm selfish..
@@Cinnamonroll010I'm sorry to hear that... remember that, sooner or later, things will get better
You are not selfish. You are not alone.
I still remember how shattered I felt inside when they called me selfie and dishonest
I like how you said “What depression can also looks like” instead of “What depression actually is” because both can be accurate,it sort of depends.
Don't be sad
I don’t suffer from depression, but I just want to thank this woman for saying “what depression CAN ALSO look like”
🙏🏾
Im sure from the comments you can tell already but it kinda feels like nothing can will or ever has gone good you cant feel any emotion other than sadness if your lucky and there is absolutely no will to keep living and the only thing keeping you alive at least for me is fear, but its just a constant pain and suffering day and night and your expected to operate normally just like everyone else every day and your made fun of for opening up about it, i think i covered almost everything:)
@@JesusIsLordTruthxSavior feels like it’ll never end and that “going” would just eleviate the burden of ones own existence from everyone around em.

I think this is part of the reason some people don’t even know they’re depressed! It can also look like anger and irritability.
The worst part about depression is that no one cares. People might say they care but they’re just telling you what you wanna hear.
@@H.K.5The truth is people care if it inconveniences THEM, and they just want the inconvenience to stop. If they can tell themselves that you’re either “OK” or just being deliberately impossible, their lives become easier. Another truth is that we don’t live for rational reasons. Survival instinct is 100% illogical. 😵💫

About 3 days ago I found out about my 2 oldest sisters had depression, but opposites. One was laying in bed all day, struggling to stay alive, losing motivation, and all that stuff, while my older sister threw herself in work, trying to make herself seem hardworking and determined, and all she cared about was work. When I found out it changed my view on depression, knowing now that depression can look different in many ways that I never knew before
Depression can vary from person to person, it’s strange
I hide it until I get to my room. Then I cry for hours
Hey, Life is as realistic as death, what life has that its better is that you can eliminate the suffering and feel only Pleasure, death is lame and stupid, there was a point for you to live and that is for you to have fun, So Focus on that!
you got this
Ur not the only one.
Same, i can't wait to get home and just cry
I can totally understand. I was in same condition few years back. Please go to doctor speak your heart out. It is curable. You are not alone ❤ I wish for your good health 💟🙏
Anxiety happens when you think you have to figure out everything all at once.
Breathe . You're strong. You got this Take it day by day.
That's true tbh
Day by day ? I say take it moment by moment present. Be the Observer of your thoughts and emotions. Know what is your pain body and how to heal it. Learn about how to abide in the inner-body. Learn the power of now. This is all practical. Human suffering is created for the most part because we are identified with the mind. If we don’t choose to wake up now, we will be awoken in time with greater suffering.
Like my mom always say to me: one task at a time, one day at a time🥺🥺
Not always, it depends on the cause. Mine just creeps in whenever I get a flare from the chronic disease.
Thank you
I had depression before. Finding the source of it is helpful for knowing how to work with it
Thanks so much for sharing what worked for you!
I just stare at the wall. tears on my face and overthinking everything.. I try to stop crying but when I think about the problem I feel weak and let it all out.. the worst part is that I hide it from everyone
Ur not alone.
Me too. Don’t hide it, tell someone you trust. Or a mental health professional. You shouldn’t have to hold it in.
I understand, tell someone you trust. If you have no one, I recommend telling Jesus. He can take away all your pain, burdens, EVERYTHING your bottling in. Jesus died for you for a reason. God bless you. 🩷 Is it okay if I pray for you?
Just know the Holy Spirit can guide you to the right paths. Jesus loves you, my friend. If you need anyone to talk to, you can too me, if your comfortable with it! ❤❤

So true. A part of us just goes away with them. 😢
This is so true… and every time your loved ones memorial comes around or birthdays or holidays your reminded more of the memories therefore you become distant during that time & your other family members & friends think your being cold & means towards them when they don’t even understand or remember that no matter what your always going to be sad every day & especially during those times your emotions are more intense… but nope they forget or expect you to just move on because of so many years now have gone by and they start acting cold with you too… so now I just say fuck it I don’t care anymore… I’ve lost the ones I loved the most & never thought I would have to bury them so anyone else that wants to walk away go ahead… we all leave one day…. No body understands until you actually know what it’s like to live that.

Very correctly put. I have gone through for more than 1 year and still going through but intensity has reduced. Keep yourself busy. I got performance appraisal even when i was working under depression. My subordinate complimented me saying that i cool and nice boss. But inside i only know what i was going through. But it motivated to keep myself busy . So my advice would be keep yourself busy if u want to get out of early.
So proud of anyone struggling to keep going with depression. It's exhausting. Love you ❤
We don’t really have a choice.

I remember few years back after my wife died, I was left alone with 3 kids. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with ADHD. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment changed my life for better. I can proudly say i'm totally clean for 6 years and still counting. Always look to nature for solution to tough problems, Shrooms are phenomenal.
The extreme fatigue and the numbness that comes with it is brutal along with low appetite
Yeah. But I just eat and eat.
Hope everyone doing good and staying safe. If you need to talk to someone or need help, there are people who care. Sending support and hearts. ❤️❤️❤️
I wish I had low appetite, I never recovered after the pandemic and am currently obese
All of this, except I eat a lot
How does depression feel like do u get sleepy when u do things you once enjoyed and nothing matters anymore but u have to do it I still like things but I get super bored of everything like if I'm doing something for too long I get sleepy and head hurts anyone else feel this way and its better to do nothing
Depression is not shown to others because it is seen as embarrassing so it's actually likely to be both. You get on with your day without showing any emotions to just break down or feel low in your room where no one will give you a reaction.
yeah but my sister has her own bed in my room so I cant breakdown unless she sleeps somewhere else.
@@IdioticAnteatergo outside, breakdown in the warm shower. Let it out, don't keep it all bottled in like I did.
@@IdioticAnteaterYou can breakdown in silence
Yes it's me
help me
Sometimes its not even depression. Its realisation. Nothing has inherent meaning. And thats limits the amount of options that are worth fighting for basically to Zero. I really love the Idea that Humans should be able to End their life just by pure willpower. Like right now, im in my Bed, i should be able to just tell myself: You will not wake up anymore.
Gosh, thats peace of Mind right there.

Imagine working so hard and it doesnt reflect in your results
It sucks so much, I'm so scared of it
Its takes the life out of you
Yeahhh....no idea what that's like....😢
I’m literally sick of trying, and chasing goals, and coming up with reasons to like living. I hate to say it that way but I feel like that’s what life is, finding something to live for and enjoy life about.
I realize that on the inside there’s something missing or underdeveloped and I just can’t live life like a mentally healthier person can. I have to try extra hard just to be a healthy person on a baseline level which makes having daily life goals on top of that EXTRA strenuous, but no one knows the work I do every second of everyday. THATS the painful part. They just judge the pouting and the “deer in headlights” look on my face, but I’m not only sad but I’m tired. I’ve been at this all my life and sometimes I feel like I’m just not there yet. I wish I could just turn my brain and emotions off, maybe I can get more done. I’ve just become worse as a human as the years gone by. Self preservation and survival has been the name of the game, I don’t even think I’m capable of loving myself and others like I use to feel when I wad younger. That childlike heart is wilted.
I struggle with this alot.
My husband has ADHD, depression and was on medication for many years. When we moved and he had to get a new Doctor. Unfortunately because my husband was nearly 68, the Doctor said ADHD medication was not recommended for someone his age and he wouldn't renew his prescription. The Dr didn't even offer to wean him off the meds! He left him with no meds and had him go. God so kind a friend recommended us to mushrooms (psilocybin) precisely. After his experience with shrooms five years ago till now there's no more ADHD, depression and mental disorder. Shrooms are life changing. There is no way you can put into words what it feels like..
Every day I have to put a smile on my face and if I don’t force a smile I cry uncontrollably
Please don’t suffer alone. Talk to someone you trust, supressing everything is not good for you, you can vent to me if you don’t mind? Your not alone ❤
You can vent here bro, you're not alone
Hugs
Me too
People will never understand what we go through….

I have Depression and Anxiety and a bunch of mental health/health problems in my family. I’m currently a 14 year old boy who just started Highschool and I’ve been dealing with a lot of family problems throughout my life so far. I hate it when people stereotype these things and depression doesn’t have an exact form, it can be shown in multiple ways. For me I would rip my hair out, I would stay on my phone all night till 5 am, sleep all day, skip school, fight people and verbally harass others. I was not in best state of mind and I’m still not, I’ve gotten better though. My mental health wasn’t the only thing affected, my physical health as well. I was chubby to skin and bones, my ribs were visible through my chest and I was weak. I was also very exhausted and became very pale from isolating myself in my room, with little to no contact for almost a year. I wanted to say that if any of you are struggling with things, please tell someone, I made and still am making the horrible choice of keeping my problems to myself, talk to people, it will help you.
Depression hits hardest when you’re alone
Agreed. Only child vibes 🎉
No wonder I'm starting feel alot more.
I’m constantly alone, I guess it’s always hitting me the hardest.
It hits me the hardest in the evenings after the sun goes down and I'm less busy to keep me distracted.
I often like to smile and make people laugh a lot. Just those small interactions help a lot inside.
Same I laugh alot infront of ppl when inside I'm hurting and whenever they make a hurtful joke i still try to laugh and smile it off
@CharlieUrFavPookiesometimes depression and anxiety can come with you not liking people telling you can do it, they feel like they you actually don't care or they don't like talking
Me after an incident not knowing my brain will never perceive anything the same ever again

I get called bubbly and likeable at work but they don't know what I'm really going thru
Literally me
Hate being called it
I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling well inside. I always wondered if bubbly people were really happy all the time, or they were just putting on a brave face, to not burden others. I low key envy you. Because, my sadness peaks through, it shows on my face despite my best efforts to hold it all in. Not that I wanna hide it completely, but I'd like to be able to chose when and who I share this with, lol 😅
@@sherrytzasherrytza4793I would rather not burden anyone
🥺
We were talking about suicide and my really smart favorite teacher told me she had had 3 of her friends this year commit suicide and that they were always so “happy” and then she looked at me and said “ it’s always the happy ones”..
It's some truth to that because I overheard a coworker say that I was always happy...whaaat...I guess this is the impression I give off because I try to be pleasant and positive, I don't like bringing people down...people have said I'm bubbly, a person I literally just met recently said I was bubbly..I'm telling you looks can be deceiving, If they only knew, they'd all be shocked.
Depression is no joke. I know. Kind regards from Belgium.
I hope you’re doing okay friend. You are so strong for dealing with this because it can be really hard. But never give up and know that you can work through it. There is always hope. I’ll pray for you friend. Jesus loves you, as shown by His life, death, and resurrection to give us all eternal life. He is there for you too

And be happy
Sometimes people with depression are those most smiling and showing joy in the workplace all the time...because they overdo the acting to make it convincing. Nobody is happy all the time. So this is how you can spot it as well
Very true. One with depression will operate as best outside amongst others, then come home to collapse into a very true sunken and depressive state.
The first one is how my depression feels 😢 the second one is what I try to be so no one notices it... 😭
The word'' depression'' ,first time i heard that word from my frnd ...i never knew wht it was.. life was very hard for me in my 18... i never knew i had been going through one ,its like i am swimming in ocean without knowing its a ocean...i thought its just water ,u just have to swim to survive..but it was diffrent...now i am ok,but really deep inside not. Just living with a flow. Guys whoever is going through this , take help, dont loose urself ,u r stronger than u think,speak to urself, love urself ,ask urself how precious u r ,stop hurting urself . sending lots of love and prayers ❤❤❤
It’s more like when no one sees you your sad, but with others you can look like the happiest person there, when your really just in pain
This world was just lacking for love, everyone needs that. The moments you spend with people you shall cherish it every second. Most of all people ignore being open hearted and that explains why people get depressed.
The problem is fear of being open-hearted to wrong people. You end up getting more hurt.
Depression is something when you act everything is absolutely normal but completely down inside.
Thank you! It's frustrating when you try and confide in people you're struggling through depression, but they counter with "Oh, you don't *look* depressed, you're still doing this or that etc." They don't get that being productive and internally drowning in despair aren't mutually exclusive.
The first one is crippling depression. This is the point in which you start losing jobs, losing friends, and have no energy to do anything. Maybe need someone to take care of you. The second one is functioning depression in which you can still do stuff and are trying to keep everything together even though you could be at the brink of losing it.
Depression don't have looks. It can be inside of anyone no matter what they look or what they are doing.
I embrace my sadness now, rather than try to go against it. If I get a burst of energy before it kicks in, I use that to get things done especially with 2 small children under 5. Hang in there everyone.
If you please allow me to give you advice. start taking L-tryptophan, Omega 3 and D vitamins as supplements, these supplements have helped me a lot, sunlight every morning is very important at least 15 min. Therapy works as a form of support but most important building a relationship with Jesus Christ is what keeps me going and gives me the freedom.
Not trying to diagnose, but have you looked into bipolar 2? A lot of people overlook it because when you say bipolar, most people think of the stereotypical symptoms. With bd2, tho, the highs are not real high but the lows are really low. That is why the highs get overlooked because you may think u r just happy n having a good day.
Just thought id say something because you said burst of energy before it hits n it can be like that.

Hey, I'm really struggling mentally at the minute and have become s*icidal (just censoring because otherwise RUclips would remove the comment) I dont know how to tell people or how to get help but I don't want to hurt people if I go so I'm really trying to hold in there but I'm so close to breaking. Do you have any advice?
@@AlfredDoesArt I hope you've found a way to keep going. My advice is, just tell the truth. That you're feeling horrible and that you can't seem to take it anymore. Then, be humble enough to seek professional help: everyone has different needs, so if you need mental help, you have the right to get it. Hope this helps 😊
It can also look like smiles, joy, people pleasing, humor, and life of the party....missing a whole lot here.
It’s never easy to speak or make videos on your daily struggles but videos like these will help many across the globe.
As someone who has had depression, the 1st one is also accurate. Depends on if the person will try to hide it or not.
The first one is very accurate. We stigmatize people who look sad. I don't trust people claiming to have smiling depression. You can't hide depression. It doesn't make sense.
Yeah my mum had yo use her best negotiation skills to get me out of bed to do something I enjoy.
@@narlywaves2371 You can definitely hide depression. I rarely ever cry when i am with people and i've been wanting to kill myself for the last 3 to 4 years. Never did it because of fear, but i want to.
@@narlywaves2371you can at times.
First is when people don't give a shit about your cries for help. Second is when you give up on looking for help from people and just cope with it.
I just fake being happy so no ones like " are u ok?"bc it makes me feel like i want attention...
We can be happy too just that happiness doesn't last
It becomes even more difficult when you have to show everyone that everything is okay while only you know how tough it's....
You can't even show to your family because you don't wanna stress them and also because they won't understand
I’m going through a really touch patch in my life right now, and I think I’m slipping into depression. I don’t wanna be, but I think I am.
Remember, you are not alone - seeking help and support is a brave step toward overcoming depression.
you are very correct, your awesome 👌.
I absolutely hate it when you have sad or have anxiety or lack confidence and people say, “just push yourself and try to be be more confident, it’s not that hard!” Or “cheer up, there’s nothing to be sad about, just try to be a bit happier” because it’s really not that easy.
this is so true i am dealing with depression and most ppl don't think i have depression cos i am always laughing and smiling but the truth is that i don't actaully feel that way inside
I do both.
Nothing makes me TRULY happy 😔
Im so happy she said what it can ALSO look instead of what it does look like. Depression can be many forms

There is just way too much positivity about depression. Can I just be depressed without feeling guilty about it? I will get through it.
I always seem cheerful on the outside but I’m actually crying on the inside
Depression can also look like a happy funny healthy person but you never know whats underneath the smiles And tiered eyes…
This is very true, and is very important to keep in mind. There are probably, no, definitely at least one person who you see every day, or many times during the week, that is suffering through something, and you probably don't realize. It is always a good idea to check in with your friends, keep an ear out for how they are speaking or what they are saying, how much energy they have, and if its more or less than normal, so you can help them.
I'm depressed when I get up everyday and look for a job.
Life sucks
Same here dude 😢
Life does sucks. But know that Jesus can help you! You can (if you want) place you trust in Him! He died for you and loves you so much, it’s hard to explain. His love is amazing. When we follow Him, It doesn’t mean our lives are PERFECT, we will go through stuff and the devil is real, sadly. Can I pray for you? I’m not gonna force you, you can choose. ❤
My mum. She’s depressed. She’s a single mum who has multiple health problems and has a disabled arm. She also has me to deal with and skips meals. I try everything to support her but she doesn’t notice and I don’t want to lose her I love her so much
I told my family and friends i feel like a failure when they ask me "are you okay?" And they said I'm seeking for attention/it's all in your head/you have nothing to feel depressed. Then i hand them the result from the psychiatrist that said i have a severe depression. Since then, i never told anyone about my feeling.
Don't ask someone "are you okay?" when you don't mean it guys.. it hurt..
I regret telling my family. The end
❤❤❤
@@juneautumn3067why?
They only ask if you’re okay but they never suspect that it would be depression. Many people like to anyhow say when they know almost nothing about depression like smiling depression 😢
I should never have told my family
People think I'm an introvert but the truth is I just want to be alone a lot.
Same, I’m introvert too
That what’s a introvert is they enjoy being alone
Well unfortunately my country is an extrovert country and people here are extroverted. Now i feel like im the only one who is introverted being forced to be extroverted

Depression can look like somebody at a laptop
I am on anti depressent since 2012...and people around me never saw me upset or crying I always smile and try to be active in everyday life I just don't wanna show my tears to anyone because people starts to judge you easily. But thank god I hv gt a beautiful family my parents are my strength that why I am surviving everyday.
It’s scary when we live in a world that don’t know what people don’t even know what a mental health problem is..

The invisible struggles of depression can indeed make it a challenging battle, often hidden behind a façade.
What depression really looks like: *insert a person smiling with their friends and dancing*
I don’t have one
It can look like that too. But for me, even with friends, I'm still feeling low. I just try my best to not bring the mood/vibe down (don't always work as sometimes I'll just stop talking all together)
Me RN 😔 its tough. Alot of ppl think its easy to get over it. But only one knows how it feels. No motivation at all. All the things youve enjoyed can no longer enjoy and seem useless
It's hard and I hate when people tell me to get counseling. I just feel like they just want to hand me over to someone else instead of helping with the pain.
When I tell my daughter to consider counseling is because I really don’t have the skills or tools to help her heal. Most times it is well intentioned to advise to reach for help.
I’m saying this as someone with depression and a slew of other things:
Assuming you’re an adult, it’s your responsibility to go get help. Depression is a treatable illness. Medication will help you chemically, counseling will help with coping skills.
Sometimes you do just need a friend for a shoulder to cry on, and a good friend will be there for that when it’s needed. But if you’re not taking steps to help yourself, no one else is going to be able to help you, and you’re just going to become an energy vacuum for the people in your life
If you’re still a kid, that’s a different story. You still need to get help, but you’re going to need help to get help. Talk to a parent. If your parents don’t help, talk to any adult who you trust. Preferably someone at school maybe with some kind of authority who isn’t afraid to go to your parents and suggest getting you treatment. Get the ball rolling.
Either way, best of luck. Be strong and get treatment.
They are telling you to go counselling because it’s for your own good. They have no skills to help you that’s why they want you to go to counselling
Counseling does help, but then you’ll be more depressed when you get the bill.
Therapists are equipped to deal with this. You may see it as they dont care, but maybe they just recognize that they cant help. Depression is a bitch and it makes you believe things that are not true. Also, like someone else said, it is our job to seek help from professionals. Just like if you got a broken bone, you wouldnt go to a family member to fix it; youd go to the er. Ive been in a place where i cried for help n no one did anything. I suffered for years. Ive learned that it is up to me to help myself, and yes it is hard taking the first step, but no one can take it for you. Sometimes it is easier to blame everyone else because in a fucked up way, we dont wanna be healed. Why? Because this is what we know and are used to n in its own way it feels comfortable. Thats why we need professionals to help us rewire our brains and thought patterns. So do it for yourself because you deserve it.
That’s so true
So many people hide their depression and feelings because they think no one will understand their pain
But everyone will
Nah most people don’t get it. Plus not every person going through depression has similar experiences with it so it’s harder for them to relate to each other.
depressed person here, wouldn’t be caught dead crying in front of someone.
My emotional pain seems to have a stronghold on me, its grip unyielding and relentless. It's like a dark shadow, always lurking in the corners of my mind, ready to surge forth at the slightest provocation. No matter how hard I try to run from it, to hide from it, it always finds me. It's a relentless cycle that appears to know no end, a vicious circle of emotional distress that I can't seem to shake off.
People say ‘depression is like being sad all the time’ because that’s the easiest way to explain it, for me at least it’s not like that, in fact I have a complete absence of emotion, pleasure etc. it feels you you are just sitting in a cold bare corridor waiting to grow old and die.
Interestingly I don’t experience dreams and don’t recall anything upon waking. And I get headaches.
That confident, funny, and seemingly okay friend can have so many more emotions in their head
The "what people think depression looks like" part was me everyday
Many people don't show what they're dealing with, and unfortunately many people who we see as "normal", suffer from so much shit that they end up taking their own life which is honestly really sad to know people around us could reach to this extent without us seeing any kind of red flag
Hey,that is so true,you just don't want to do anything at all instead of just lay there,and want to didsapear,but don't let life's mistakes,hurts,etc,affect your future,use your weaknesses to your strength and in time you will succeed in life,and your guardian Angel is always by your side,very good way to express that feeling.🤘
Here’s a little poem…
You accuse me of everything
and still I hide the pain
i try so hard not to cry
no one can know what’s inside
i try to hide the brokenness
to keep away the hopelessness
you never hear what I have to say
as if my voice is miles away
no one truly sees me
for who I really am
they only see the outside
cause that’s all they can
i always have anxiety
about the simplest things
I’m terrified of society
but you say to spread my wings
this is what depression is
and yet you still are blind
you never notice any of this
because it’s all inside my mind
U ok❤️🩹🫂🙁 and I LOVE that poem!!! (Lol)
In the outside I'm happy, but in the inside im heartbroken....
I love your hair
I love your eyes
I love your strength
I love your voice
I love your style
I love your eye lashes
I love your nose
I love your confidence
I love your forehead
I love your hands
I love your shoulders
I love your ears
I love your cheeks
I love your mouth
I love your personality
I love that you are brave
I love that you are kind
I love that you are strong
I love that you are you
I love that you are smart
I love that you are creative
You are beautiful
You are nice
You are confident
You are smart
You are unstoppable
You are perfect
You are unique
You are amazing
You are pretty
I love you when you’re mad
I love you when you’re sad
I love you when you’re happy
I love you when you’re anxious
I love you when you’re embarrassed
I love you when you’re cheerful
I love you when you’re disappointed
I love you when you’re at your lowest
I love you when you’re at your highest
I’m proud of you for eating
I’m proud of you for setting goals
I’m proud of you for getting up
I’m proud of you for learning
I’m proud of you for trying
I’m proud of you for smiling
I’m proud of you for going outside
I’m proud of you for spreading kindness
I’m proud of you for being you
I’m proud of you no matter what
I know you’re insecure but everyone is
I know you’re not happy but your not alone
I know you’re getting bullied but don’t listen to them
I know you’re sad but try to be happy
I know you’re miserable but your still standing
I know you feel hated but you are loved
I know you feel sad but deep down you’re happy
I know you feel disappointed but you are proud
I know you are depressed but smile!!
insecurities are only real because of society, so ask yourself.. “would you be who you are right now if it weren’t for them?” and what would you say? don’t hate yourself, because you are worth the world! everyone is different and that’s a good thing. don’t be insecure, just set goals! be yourself and learn to love who you are
its hard to tell if someone is depressed cause you can never really tell cause everyone deals with it differently
