To everyone else struggling like me, please have this from me: *hug*

This video made me feel way better about my depression because I only got 8 out of the 9! Impressive if you ask me

Keep in mind that not all people with depression are suicidal.

How do I disappear without a trace. I just don't wanna hurt my family and friends' feelings

[salembendeck]

Fuck...I instantly said yes to each one of those.

I'm going to show this to a friend who's never been depressed. He used to tell me that if people were more spiritually "evolved" they wouldn't be depressed.
Still, I envy people who've never experienced this. I've dealt with it for over 40 years and wouldn't wish it on anyone. My heart goes out to everyone who has battled this, and especially those who could not take it anymore.

Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings.
This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment.

I can't tell if what I have is depression or something else, but it's such an endless cycle of those negative feelings/thoughts, and it's exhausting... it's very exhausting that I don't know how to handle it. I'm tired of constantly feeling tired and sad.

I’ve had all these symptoms for years. I’m 21 and bed ridden. All I think about it death it feels like I’m at the end of my life

[AnkSparkle]

I matched 9 out of 9 hope everyone at this stage gets cured up this is a symptom which can't be cured until our mind is willing to do

[Breaking_goood]

The last one... Almost every day i think of it. Lost my job, my marriage in verge of divorce, i lost my only son 1 year ago, i hope i can recovered or at least survive all of this... I hope...

I actually don’t know how to feel right now when I know that I’m depressed…

[mrs.quills]

Number 2 is the worst for me. The fatigue and zombie state is one thing, but to rob me of the joy I feel to get through this life pisses me off so much. I find relief in drawing and making art and being in nature and walking, even watching a movie or video games is so hard. It literally wants me to do nothing while making me feel nothing.

That put a finger down challenge was kind of depressing

Been feeling half of these for almost 12 years, I’m 21 btw. Sometimes it feels like it will never go away, one thing is being 16 and depression beginning, but another is being 10 and having your childhood stolen from you due to this, not knowing how you feel, why you feel the way you do until you hit middle school at age 13. Now I have more clarity and once again I’m backed against a wall with constant flashbacks to the last few memories I had of happiness and the sudden realizations of the very beginning of this thing. All I can say is that therapy, people, goals will never get me out of this because a decade of depression completely sends you to another dimension, where you have to build you life around it, to the people who will tell me it’s possible to live free, thank your brain for being healthy, you don’t get it and that’s something to be thankful for. You’re right I can breathe, I have all my limbs, toes, fingers, I’m privileged to have a roof, food, live in a privileged country (USA) however that’s the thing with depression it turns off all the lights and sends you into blindness in which you can’t see that. During the past 2 years of clarity that I’ve gotten about my situation, the best I can describe these past 11 years is like sleepwalking while being in a coma, you’re just walking through life without any realization of what’s going around you, you always feel 2 steps behind everything, it’s like life is just walking beside you, a coma is being blind, you can hear what people say, you hear all the scolding they tell you but they can’t hear you, they can’t see or understand what you see, what you feel, you’re alive but you’re forgotten, feel abandoned, isolation. 10 years hurt more than 1 year or 5 because when the 10 mark hits you still feel the pain but at the same time feel numb, it’s harder to comprehend even for yourself, it feels even more hopeless, think of it as a tree, you can’t yank it out, you have to cut through the layers and even that can hurt especially if you have no protection, once all is gone there’s still a stump there and you have to go back and dig into that stump and yank it out and once that’s done you can see the roots and all that once existed, but then what will you do after that stump is gone and it’s just a hollow pit? If you have been feeling depressed for years or months please please seek help, it’s still in its early stages and the branches are still sprouting, and it’s easier to cut a sprouting branch than one that’s already turned into bark. Do it for yourself, save yourself while you still can. ❤

Thanks for reminding me I have severe depression, which also reminded me no therapist in my area will bother to see me. All I have to do is pretend to be normal and alright till everyone in my family stops talking to me and then I am home free.

[orangesandroses]

Depression is a really sad state to be in 😢

[nhlamulodonatella]

In hindsight, I've experienced this a few times. & have been too ashamed to share it, so I went thru it alone😥

[-SkyAlphaAviation-]

For months now I have most of these symptoms, but I don't really believe I have it. Even when i'm stressed, tired, etc. everyday. I am also scared of so many things and I cry often. My parents won't help me because they make fun of me all day. I don't know what to do atm.
