"You look sad today"
Im sad everyday, i just didn't have the energy to hide it today

[silveranimatins]

Me: **typing down how I feel**
Also me: **erases everything**

Anxiety happens when you think you have to figure out everything all at once . Breathe . You're strong . You got this . Take it day by day .

I'm crying so, so hard while I'm watching this. It explained how I feel so accurately. I really wish I could talk to someone about this and get diagnosed, but I can't bring myself to talk about my emotions at all. It does feel better to see that I'm not alone, although I'm sorry to anyone else feeling this way.

My parents: It's the phones fault, it isn't depression.

"You're just overreacting"
"no, I'm not"
"Why are you depressed then?"
"I-...don't know"
"see you're just pretending"
"I am not pretending that I'm sad, I'm pretending that I'm happy."

[Funny-Luggo]

As someone with hidden depression, this is all true. And suicidal thoughts too

"The loneliest people are the kindest,
the saddest people smile the brightest,
and the most damaged people are the wisest.
All because they don't wish to see others suffer like they do"

Hats off & lots of respect to people those who are dealing depression alone...

[lobbyhoe]

It feels so good reading the comments and knowing you're not alone 🥺

“I have never seen you cry.”

I haven’t seen myself cry either that’s crazy bro.

I relate to the "asking for help and immediately covering it up" sign. when I told mom she said I'm fine and I don't need to go to anyone so I gave up on trying. I was able to tell about my problems to my friends, but they're not able to help me. I tried to go to our school therapist for a month now, but every time I tried to go to her I just... Couldn't. My mind told me that "your problems are irrelevant so don't waste her time" or "it's nothing, you can deal with it by yourself" so I don't go. I know I need help, but I just can't tell any professionals my problems. It's like there's some sort of a web between me and the people that can help me that won't let me through and I'm sick of it

[katyt.]

Wow, the finding meaning and purpose one really resonated with me. I’ve delved into a lot of philosophy, spirituality, and even futurism the past 10 years. I didn’t know that could be a feature of depression but it makes sense. One small silver lining of this dreadful condition, I can hold a pretty deep metaphysical conversation.

Can we appreciate the animator of this video they made a good animation like for a day.

[kritikasandiyal]

I pray to God for everyone having depression. They may recover fast

[SeaTravelr]

OMG. I’m listening to this twice now. The bit on gratitude really stood out. I was in a 12 step program for a long time. It ALWAYS seemed that we needed to focus on gratitude rather than working through all the stuff. I understand gratitude can shift your focus, but one must deal with this issues at hand. 🙏🙏

[katlynhayes]

This explains me I would like stay up til 5 Am and still not be tired, I’d over think about my self, and I have been eating less, random break downs at random times, and so on. And I hope the best to the people who have depression like me
