In my experience, when I have a depressive episodes I am aware that I'll recover but that makes me even more depressed because I feel like I've been living a loop my whole life and no matter if I recover I'll fall again and feel terribly awful again, have psychotic thoughts, paranoia and/or make shitty decisions

[TarkMcCoy]

The irony of depression is that a truly "bad' person would never castigate themselves for being a bad person.

1. 0:23 - "i don't measure up"
2. 1:25 - "no one cares about me"
3. 1:41 - "i'm better off alone"
4. 2:28 - "no one understands what i'm going through"
5. 3:12 - "it's all my fault"
6. 3:55 - "If I avoid unpleasant things I won't get depressed" ( thanks to user Learning With Harry for the clarifying suggestion )
7. 4:17 - "nothing matters"
8. 4:35 - "i'll never get better"

It feels like being trapped in life
No one can see how much you are suffering and you don't have the energy to explain it. They would never understand...

Whether you have depression or not.. everyone should watch this! It’s a very real illness.

[candycane]

The fact that depression is dismissed so easily is sad, and dismissed especially by abusive people. It can be as deadly as cancer.

[pauljordan]

What really crushes me is when people say "everybody has their problems these days" or "look at all the people who have it way worse than you do." Makes you really not want to talk to anyone

[martinmartin]

I think one reason why we tend to isolate also is bc we see our depressed self as a burden to others. In one way, moving on alone made my decisions easier, that said it is tough to handle the worst of times by yourself. Yeah, I believe talking to somebody ought to be better.

I had heard the most dangerous time for a depressed person is as they start to recover. As the malaise begins to lift, if they had suicidal thoughts they now have the energy to act on them.

When I was in my last depressive episode, I was convinced that I was a horrible wife and mother, and that my family would be better off without me. Those thoughts are usually when I know I need to ask for help, and thankfully I’m doing much better now. ❤️

I've been so depressed for so long, all this is just normalized lol. When I see videos like this it reminds me that constantly battling these things isn't something society expects.

As someone who's been diagnosed with MDD (Major Depressive Disorder) recently, I cannot stress enough how important it is to seek professional help.

[halodeer]

This is the main way I can catch my depression before it gets worse. It takes a while to get to know your depression voice, but once you do it can save your life. Even if it feels like you’re lying to yourself, fight to be nice to yourself, it’s so worth it

[Melanated_Introvert-smok]

“The depression won’t go away but you can manage it” words that have plagued me everyday for years.

[mrlarry]

You’ve described my life from 8 yrs old to present at almost 40, in less than 10 minutes, wow 😮😢 especially the isolation part because no one cares or will help anyway, smh. Thank you for this breakdown Dr. Marks

[tonymedina]

Depression will never make any sense until it happens to you. It’s complete hell and unable to get out of bed.

[spiritangel]

Another recovery..!? I got no family or friends. The only "supports" i have, is the Psychologist & someone who gets paid to be my support worker..!! Not many hours, and all i end up doing is staying home in bed, unless i really have to go to get some shopping or go to my Drs appointment. It doesn't help when my issues include rejection and trust & abandonment issues..!! I literally have no one else i can turn to, to talk to anyone.

[SPLICEKNIGHT]

It's odd for me because the depression is so complete I've sort of passed into, "too apathetic to care about offing myself" but at the same time, too apathetic to not enjoy things in a sort of Nhilistic, "I could die at any point anyway, not worth not enjoying the moment" kind of mindset that frequently makes me immune to a lot of negative self talk. Also, after trying to off myself enough times and failing repeatedly, I've given up on that, and decided to see what earth and the universe has to offer.

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.

Thank you for this video so much. Having adhd as an adult and parents who constantly tell me "if you just work your butt off like we do, you'll feel better." make my depression worse. I don't want my life to just be about overworking for a high income and working so much harder to make up for the deficits that I've always had. It makes my hopelessness worse like when you get into your 30s, your life is all about a job mostly and all the other stuff like keeping in touch with people who don't shame your adhd at all and hobbies just fall to the back burner and eventually forgotten about entirely because you don't have the energy or think they're just as important or even more important than a job for your mental health and wellbeing.
