My brain: That's about the right time to cry

When you can’t talk it out because you’re scared of being judged

It hurts more when you OPEN UP to someone, and they say it’s normal, maybe it is normal.. but that doesn’t mean normalizing it.

The pain of your own parents giving up on you because you're not performing well academically and the pain of your own parents telling you that you're a disappointment to them. That really stunned n shattered my heart n soul

Depression is not "im sad"

Depression is "i can't be happy"

Depression isn’t just feeling sad, it’s also feeling overwhelmed, angry, scared, hopelessness, and worthless. This continues for a long time and disrupts your life. It also has physical symptoms like headaches, sleep issues, fatigue, and apatite changes.

It’s the worst when your parents dont understand you at all

You know it's bad when you're watching videos like this again.

The saddest thing is when you badly wanna talk to your parents about your depression but you rarely even see'em at home :)

I started to feel these things pretty much as soon as I turned 13. I just don’t think that I have depression because I don’t have all the symptoms but I have most of them.

“Talk to your parents”

that’s why I’m depressed in the first place...

If you’re reading this, if your family and friends don’t care about how you feel, I care. There’s someone out there who will love you just the way you are and even if you don’t love yourself, they can help you even if it takes years. You matter, everyone matters.

Hey, if you feel like crying..
Crying is ok, it is a form of letting our emotions out. It doesn’t define you as a weak person, just mature.
Crying should be normalized as everyone does it, we all cry at some point in life. But hey, if anyone is bothering you just realize that they are just jealous of you, your personality, and your mental (+physical) strength! I hope this helps, enjoy the rest of your day!<3

"Talk to a parent"

My parents:
We don't do that here

Sometimes depression isn’t “sad” it’s empty.

When our best friends start to avoid us, it's because they don't want a depressed or boring friend.🥺

I definitely feel like I relate to most of those, especially feeling useless, irritability, crying for no reason all the time, and not enjoying things you used to. Paranoia, overthinking, guilt, and self hate have also always been routine to me.
Sometimes feel like I'm just lying to myself, or making up excuses for not being productive or motivated, and not being considerate of the people who struggle with actual clinically diagnosed depression.
I would try seeking medical help, just to make sure, but I don't know how, since my parents dismiss everything I tell them as "puberty" or "hormones"
I've struggled with self harm and suicidal thoughts in the past, but when my parents found out they just yelled at me. I tried to just swallow everything, and eventually stopped hurting myself. But I'm afraid I might just snap one day and start doing it again
Idk what to do anymore
