Wakes up tired. Drinks coffee. Crawls back into bed. Watches this video. Finally understands....

[lizamysiri]

I feel so relieved that someone can understands me. I am so tired... Thank you for this.

Yes Dr Scott, tired in your soul describes it well. 😢

Shakespeare describes it so well when Hamlet says, “how weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable, seem to me all the uses of this world” (Act 1, Sn 2. 135-136).
This statement is expressing Hamlet's feelings towards his own life and how there is no meaning.
All the four words he's described in the above quote is so true of Depression!

This is the hardest part for me. Unfortunately, it’s also the hardest to explain to others.

[DrApocalyptus]

My depression is pretty much mostly tiredness, like I'm swimming in honey.

[bingewatchforever]

For me, this fatigue totally feels like I am physically sick. I know I am not. But it feels like when you have the flu or something. Just total exhaustion.

[susanlicon]

It’s horrible, I describe it as an invisible weighted blanket of fatigue. Thank you, Dr.

*The pent up caffeine energy is so spot on.*

I spent a year drinking 3 Redbulls a day to survive. I'm finally down to one. I hope I can get back to not needing caffeine at all and having loads of energy like before the divorce...

[carolburnett]

When I feel that way, I label it as “weary” — soul-tired.

[sharon]

It's so frustrating. It's so hard to make plans to do anything. My environment reveals how I feel but no one understands. I do believe I am getting better and going to be completely on the other side of this soon. 🙏💕🙏

Sleep doesn't help when it's your soul that's tired
✌️

[boomeradvocate]

Yes, I am always exhausted no matter how much I sleep. I used to be so energetic, but somehow I lost it 😔. Nothing works.

[rudyspective]

This is EXACTLY what I've been going through! I guess I'm just really tired with my life...

[luvdancesalsa]

Just watched a Daily Show clip… the therapist Jon Stewart was interviewing stated there’s a little thing therapists like to make certain of before diagnosing depression. It’s funny, sad and true.

Before diagnosing someone with depression, make sure they’re not surrounded by assholes.

Evidently, sometimes things (mental health challenges) can be justified & understood. Good to know.

[Lindaheal]

Yes, this really fits my experience, especially the very end. And it IS a difficult thing to explain to others who have never experienced it. Thanks for articulating this so well.

[tihanaharrison]

Yes!!! That exactly!! The very Soul feels tired. That’s so very accurate. Thank you for this enlightening video ❤❤

[silent_whispers]

I have high functioning depression AND ADHD. Coffee calms my brain. I drink a cup before going to sleep.

[sglenn]

You described that to a T. Throw in I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and I'm always exhausted. Either I can't sleep or all I want to do is sleep. I bounce back and forth. I want to feel normal 😭

[AngelaEliseB]

No truer statement! Been in this state off and on for years and always say "my soul is tired". I hate it so much!
