Did you know that depression can occur in varying degrees, from mild, to moderate, to severe? In this video, we’ll be focusing specifically on some of the signs and symptoms of severe depression.

“You are not alone.”
The severely depressed person’s internal response:
“Oh, yes, I am.”

One of the worst problems with having depression is that you generally aren't capable of earning the money required to get the help needed.

I suffer from Bipolar disorder and I'm currently going through a severe depressive episode. It sucks, but I'm hanging in there.
To everyone suffering, I'm thinking of you. Let's get through this shit, alright?

Severe depression is the most painful thing I've ever gone through. It feels like drowning in darkness and anxiety. Every minute is just about surviving.

Legends says that if you beat life on severe depression difficulty you will unlock even a harder mode.

This video described every aspect of my life for the past 10-15years. You tell people your depressed & because nothing traumatic enough has happened to you, people have a way of dismissing how you feel. They’ll say “everyone has a bad day. Everyone’s depressed once in a while” “Get over it”
I wake up everyday with a pit in my stomach, I can cry for no reason, I’m unmotivated & I struggle most days to even get out of bed & to do the simplest things ( chores, keep up with hygiene, make a meal, etc. ) When I do something simple, I almost feel fulfilled in a weird way. It sucks, because I know I’m capable of so much more, but I’ve convinced myself I’ll feel like this for the rest of my life.

I’ve been talking to someone weekly, it’s been helping & I just hope to get over this. It feels hopeful to know I’m not alone.

at some point, i don't even want to get better, i just want to finish everything and that's it

I could remember several years ago, I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Was actually diagnosed with cptsd. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. This is something that really need to be use globally to help people with related health challenges.

I've been depressed for so long that I've just accepted it at this point, and to other people it looks like I've gotten better

Severe depression is more like “every day I go through the motions and even when I laughed and smiled, I felt joyless. All the things that used to excite me now leave me feeling empty and disconnected. What is the point of continuing to exist?”

"Help is always available"- for those like me, who are too young to take themselves to the doctors and have parents that don't allow it, these videos and quizzes are the best we can get.

I live with majour depressive disorder and on top of exercise, I've found that having pets around can really help, especially if you live alone. Just having another body around that cares about you unconditionally can really help and having another being to take care of is a good way to get yourself up

[michynature]

The cost of getting help is depressing enough. Most people can’t afford it.

[blackcatt]

i just feel like if i start crying i’m gonna go on for hours nonstop

[uraninite]

I have all of these. I’m tired… all I want to do is watch YouTube. I don’t feel like pursuing anything because I feel that nothing is valuable or worth it. Even things I used to dream of… my anxiety is much better but without anxiety life feels unexciting and dull often. The only things I even consider doing are rather dangerous or extreme in order to get some feeling from them. Idk I wouldn’t say I’m sad but rather ‘dissatisfied with my contentment or lack of desire’ if that makes sense

[thundafundamentalist]

What about crazy sad nightmares? Waking up crying and tired?
I related to all.

[katyusik.]

For whoever is sad here have a cat hope it makes you feel better :)

"Does your friend told you you don't seem yourself lately" You guys have friends ?

[justme-etsr]

I get told I'm too sensitive, lazy, that I could've done more, or planned in case I wasn't feeling well. My first year of university went by, and I barely remember any of it, so many days were the same and blurred together. I've had depression for a few years, but it never got that bad. I heard of people who couldn't shower or brush their teeth, and thought it would never happen to me. Now it takes so much of my energy away. It's all the same. Repetitive. Tiring. I get no sleep. It makes me exhausted, so I don't do well in everyday life, and yet still I can't sleep. The cycle repeats over and over. I don't want to keep on living like this
