It’s so crucial to shed light on this. Sometimes the people that seem like they have it all together on their own need the most help.

I've had High Functioning Depression all of my life. Once every few years, it slips into major depression for weeks or months. Thanks for making this video. Not a lot of people are familiar with HFD or how it effects those of us who have it.

I watch these depression videos and feel like I’m playing bingo. And I always win.

The biggest mystery of my life: why I stopped being happy when I was 11 years old

[bunsgurumi]

The fact that I'm watching this rn because I can't focus on studying... and commenting bc I can't focus on fully watching the video... Yikes ._.

I can’t show my true self when I’m with others, don’t want them to worry, or judge. But I’m struggling. It’s like holding on to a very thin piece of wood in the ocean, I’m barely floating but I’m not drowning. The sense of hopelessness doesn’t allow me to feel determined to finish a task so I’m 25 but still struggling through university. Doing it for the family. Doesn’t even know what’s the point of everything I’m doing.

Depression nothing matters anymore and doing anything cost a huge amount of effort. Only seeing and feeling the negative about everything. Sometimes I feel a wave of emotional pain and sometimes there's no feeling it's just empty.

I can definitely tell the difference between my highs and lows. My lows make me feel caged to the world. Almost like a fear of going around others or stepping outside. Unmotivated and super zoned out. My high literally keeps me up all night the next day 😟

[SizzlesDiaries]

Well explained, i lost someone close to me because of high functioning depression. We never saw it coming, she seem so active and happy. Rip friend😢

[Serothil_and_stuff]

Well I've already known Im suffering from a depression, but nice to be reminded that It's real and I'm not just a lazy.

[Iskaral_Pust]

This is what I go through on a daily basis. It's been roughly a decade. Nothing has helped thus far. Meds, therapy, etc. I won't commit suicide because of the toll it would take on my loved ones, but I can't say I don't consider it frequently.

One of my aunt actually lost her life due to depression. She would cry all the time and as kids we would wonder what was wrong and even get irritated sometimes but I wish I understood then.

The death of Chelsie Kryst brought me here. I had no clue what High Functioning Depression is. This is what was said she was suffering from. Rest In Peace Queen ❤️🙏🏼

I broke up with a girl that I was in an almost three year relationship 6 months ago and I’m still feeling the effects of it. I’ve never been like this for this long of a period of time in past breakups. I don’t know if it’s that I’m 32 now and I’m really starting to think about getting older and feeling like I’ll die alone. I’ve never been the type of person in the past that felt like I needed a relationship for happiness, but I feel extremely alone. I don’t really have any family or friends that I can talk to and the isolation is what hurts most. I’m able to work, go to the gym, and do other hobbies that used to give me joy and fulfillment which now don’t really do it for me. I feel like I have no reason to feel that sadness and yet it’s still there. Never debilitating, but definitely uncomfortable

Make yourself a priority.. this too shall pass

Hey man, feels like you’re calling me out in this video 😂😅

[PracticalInspiration]

Great to see you posting Theodore! Been missing the content lately and was wondering where you were

[leilap]

This is one of the best videos I have seen on persistent depressive disorder. I was looking for one to share, and this is it. The reason I say this is that many explanations sound much more like major depressive disorder. Someone can certainly not know that they have it, or never remember a time that they weren’t that way.

[ThEiSaAc]

Thank you so much for this. This past year I've been struggling with a lot of those symptoms, but it was only a few weeks ago that I thought it might be depression. And this video really hit the nail right on the head with everything I've been experiencing. I can't thank you enough for all the great content you put out, and I will definitely be taking that quiz 🙏
