I spend a lot of time sleeping. Don't even want to get out of bed some days. At least I feel at peace when asleep. Feel like I'm away from this troubled world and noone can harm me.

I've pretty much accepted that depression will be a lifelong battle for me. It started in my teens and I'm almost 40 now. Some days or weeks are better than others and some aren't. I am at the place where I don't attempt suicide anymore now. I actually haven't had an attempt in almost six years

[littleduckiiee]

To those battling depression like me, know that we will get through this. We are powerful beings and we can overcome our depression. We got this ❤️

Psychedelic is the answer to most severe anxiety and depression. The use of magic mushrooms completely helps one get over depression and makes you feel like yourself.

i was diagnosed with depression and went to a few counselling sessions.
in the end i just got used to feeling like shit all the time. believe me it's perfectly normal to feel like shit all the time when you've virtually known nothing else.
i don't understand why some people i encounter sound so happy. i think that if i have to fake it when i talk to them, they're faking it too.

[MissBirdieshow]

I am praying for all those suffering from depression.May God help you all

Having depression is honestly so embarrassing sometimes like ''sorry I can't come out, the lump of wet meat in my head is sad", this is ridiculous

[gililuigi]

If you're reading this I'm praying something amazing happens for you today.❤️🙏🏼

After researching a bit, I think I’m living with depression and have been for quite some time (guess it’s taking it’s toll on me since I’ve resorted to venting on YouTube to complete strangers, haha). Going to see someone for help would be expensive, adding to my already high pile of stress, not to mention, I feel shameful and embarrassed at just the thought of seeing a therapist. I don’t feel suicidal necessarily or like I want to harm myself, but I have become a bit reckless (like with driving) and I don’t fear death as I believe I should. It’s like if it’s my time, it’s my time and not in a spiritual or religious way, a tired of everything, my life, this world, kind of feeling. I’m tired of smiling in people’s faces during the day, then complimenting me on how put together I am and then crying my eyes out until I get tired enough to go to sleep at night. Thanks whoever took the time to read, my rant is over now lol. Hope anyone going through anything gets the help they need, just keep pushing and keep your head held high!

Psychedelics definitely have potential to deal with mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression, I would like to try them again but it's just so hard to source out here

[Rachel-nqso]

I heard many things about depression and I can relate. I am not sure about whether I have depression or not, but I root for everyone who has depression. I've seem so many cases of serious depression and it is really a hard thing to last through. I will continue to hope that people that have depression get better soon.

I tried everthing…

getting to a psychiatris/taking many medicine/ trying to meet new friends…

I never had real friends that always supported me in life…I always had to say I’m fine…even though I’m crying everyday and even telling everbody I’m doing great….I have a job/ I can study and go to university etc …but still I’m not happy and hate my life…

the only place where I feel happy is being asleep and not feeling abouth anything at all…sometimes I wish I stayed that way…

[justinvallejos]

I'm afraid of telling my family how I feel. The last time I did, my parents told me to pray, threatened to send me to a ward, told me it's all in my head.

I can't interact with anyone because any time I do I spend an hour thinking about anything I've done wrong during that convo.

It seems like when I work up the courage to tell someone they end up leaving.

[AshSmash]

Ive never been diagnosed as not been to a doctor, but I've had most of these symptoms since I left school 15+ years ago!. I think my heavy drinking & poor diet has made it linger for so long, my only goal in life now is to achieve peace of mind!.

[FAJ]

The best advice i can give is if youre young GO TO SCHOOL when im surrounded by people i HAVE to be happy i cant cry infront of people. In the summer i was very depressed but when i went to school i would make jokes sometimes joking about depression and it would help me kind of separate the bad and the good.
My advice is walk to school talk to people and realize what bad habits you’ve been doing by thinking and
talking also if youre alone pretend youre talking to a person ive done this and it can help me see my bad habits

[Aisvskzb]

And you can get rid of depression you just have to be away from the things that make you depressed for a very long time and you will recover

[alastoria_va]

What hurts the most is that my teachers and parents make me feel guilty about not studying or using my phone in class while this is the fvcking reason I do that. They should have homeschooled me long ago.

[caelanshpak]

by the time I was diagnosed I'd lived with it for 20 years and I just never realized it to me that was just normal I have never known anything different

[m.rivera]

I’m 61 years old and don’t have any friends or family. Don’t have anyone to talk to. Everything is pointless. I feel empty inside and it’s killing me.
Spend the whole f* day wishing I was never born. Loneliness is like living in a world of constant pain, suffering and torture.
Wish I had someone to talk to.

[CGFL]

I’m starting to feel there’s no cure to depression besides death.
