Thanks for helping me put a name to how I’ve been feeling these past several months. I lost a job back in October and have only had part time work. On days when I don’t work I feel like I can’t get out of bed unless I absolutely need to. I want to use my “time off” to do something productive, like work on my writing, go to the gym, learn a language etc, but when I try to start doing these things I lock up. I feel paralyzed. Then my lack of productivity makes me feel guilty and creates this feedback loop of depressive symptoms. I really wish I could get over this. I start a new job soon, so hopefully that will give me that boost I need but now I’m afraid these feelings will persist.

Let's de-stigmatize medications. I've struggled with depression for a while, and wanted to avoid medications as well. Once I finally gave it a shot, my mood improved significantly, I became a better daughter/sister/friend, and I feel like I have the mental and emotional space to be productive too. I wish I took it sooner, but it's part of the journey I guess. Depression can have so many causes, and there shouldn't be shame associated with needing a little help via medications, in conjunction with therapy.

As someone who has schizoaffective surface over the years-depressive type (was depressed before schizophrenic) the depression (and adhd) seriously inhibits not only my ability to do my responsabilities and duties but also to achieve my passions/desires.

Thank you for doing shorts. I know it might not be the best way to deliver content, but it seems to be the way the world is headed.

[laurasmith]

Thank you, Dr. Tracey..

Seeing this video is helping… It’s helpful to know these things and therefore understand what is happening.

I was diagnosed with MDD and I disagree with that diagnosis, but professionals don't want to take it off of my record and put it in remission. Oh well, what is important is that I found the root cause and no longer depressed.

I am starting to think of a depression, as an alarm system for deep psychological neglect.. your body is constantly given you sign off what you need.. and you/me/we are ignoring them.. as your body gets more desperate to get your attention, the signs get stronger… if only we had manual to guide us through this.. but I guess that can happen because it’s never just one thing.. 😢I have separate from depression roller coaster for many years .. does this make sense to you.??😁…..

Minor depression is the opposite of what I have had for years. PTSD

Depression ain't about chemicals, it's about basic needs and desires not being met. You're either too disconnected from yourself to know what is missing in your life, or you know what it is, and you aren't confident enough to meet it because no one supports you.

That is what depression is. It is not random. It's never random. It might seem random, and that's only because you find coping mechanisms to numb/distract briefly, until those coping skills are exhausted, and you need new distractions that aren't available at the moment.

Only Americans get this disease cuz of the heavy insurance system. No way this is a real medical issue, as kids say youre just down bad, youre down bad for long time because life sucks and youve been unlucky, you have regrets.
