[tablet]

It's worth noting that you don't have to feel "sad" to say that you have depression, many times you might just feel like you can't really get happy for no reason.

This channel has taught me more about psycology than my school

[cherrybomb]

When you can't be bothered to wash your hair for weeks. When you isolate to the point that you are not even joining your family at the dinner table. When you have absolutely no appetite and/or feel nauseous for no good reason. When you find yourself wishing that you could go back to the life you had 10 years ago. When the things that used to bring you Joy, now just seem like a burden. When you look in the mirror and either don't recognize the person looking back at you, or have no love for the person looking back at you. When you no longer get relief from crying because it's become such a daily occurrence....
Please ask for *HELP*

A friend of mine once said "im not depressed, I have just been sad for 3 months straight. Im perfectly fine"

[userkive]

when i opened up about my depression and trauma to my friends, they guilt tripped me. to be honest at some point i was also convinced that i was just diagnosing myself and i was overreacting. but i guess you’re truly the one who knows yourself the best. you just know that the shifting states of unexplainable sadness or hopelessness and complete emptiness are not normal or to be pushed aside. it’s difficult to admit to yourself that 'damn, i really got it bad.' it took everything in me to finally say that to myself.

To everyone suffering from depression:
As a person who has been suffering from depression for many months now I promise you, it will pass.
I know it's hard and tiring, but as long as you are willing to be healed, there is hope and do not forget that you are never alone.

It's sad that I exactly go through all these 6 points, I relate to them too hard.

Me, who constantly feels too tired to get up and therefore skips meals

[KaiLally]

Everything just feels like a chore to me now..waking up, eating, or just even existing. I’m just so, so, so very tired. I don’t wanna die, i just wanna fall asleep for a long time. School is so stressful right now, I can’t think or work out sums. I feel miserable all the time and I’m worried I might be faking. I’m sorry I just needed to vent, have a good sleep and take care of yourself, or at least try for me :)

It is 3:22am and I have an appointment with my psychiatrist in 7hrs where I'm facing a schizophrenia diagnosis. This is an intense night.

[crystalgacha]

Ughhhh i feel more shit realizing i might be depressed, cant go to therapy becsuse my main problem is my family and im still in highschool so i cant get help by myself.

[siiickgravity]

Idk if it‘s depression but I had a long lasting phase where I just felt completely empty. I did sports, hell it was the only thing that kept me ok

[jadeplayswithanimations]

I have all the signs of being depressed

but i feel like i'm just overreacting or being

since i can't control my emotion sometimes

i often get angry or sad at the littlest of things

I also feel things even I can't explain/tell, or show

[sillyduck]

I'm sorry, I know it's serious, but your voice is so calming I can't concentrate
