People can be so
quiet about their pain,
that you forget they
are hurting. That is
why it is so imortant
to always be kind.

Be proud of yourself.
You went through every type of pain, family issues, trust issues, heartbreak, insecurities, depression, etc. You went through it all alone, but never gave up

This hurt...a lot
Before..I used to be very studious and did well at school but now..it all just doesn't seem to matter anymore..I easily get tired just by looking at one page of anything school-related..and just a week ago, I received my report card with you could say excellent grades in almost all my subs, except Math. And while my parents were happy about it, the first thing I wanted to do at first glance was lock myself in my room and cry all day because of how much effort it took me to accomplish a single task, project (individual or worse group) or even study for a test.

What's worse is that it hurts knowing that I'm the eldest and I have to act all grown up around my younger siblings.
It hurts even more that I can't escape reality when there are too many things to think about or deal with..
I just wish I didn't have to think or deal about anything anymore.

FOR THOSE WHOSE WATCHING THIS. MAY WE ALL FIND THE PEACE OF MIND WE ALL DESERVE

[AquaFellDown]

It is always good to know the qualities of depression and other mental illnesses to learn more about them and become educated. It helps to identify it in others and know the time when you should suggest professional help to that person. These videos are so fun/entertaining to watch and are very interesting, so thank you for making these.

Wow. I have all of these. And also everything that any girl my age would want. But, when I'm sad or annoyed or suicidal, my parents think I'm being arrogant and that I'm not grateful. Acting like evrything I do is a drama to make them pity me and use it as an excuse for not doing any work.

Good news Psych2Go, I recently saw my psychiatrist, and was both diagnosed with ADHD and began screening for Bipolar 2. I told her about what I had learned in your videos, how I related to a lot of what you talked about, and my family's history of both conditions. She said that with my other conditions, she would not have immediately thought of BPD2, but the insight you gave me helped me better describe how I was feeling, and how it affected me. Apparently people like me (on the Autism spectrum, with Alexithymia) are suspected to be severely underdiagnosed for Bipolar Disorder due to communication barriers regarding feelings.

Feels good to see that at last someone understands me... I'm a top student in my past years but due to COVID-19 and depression I've lost my studies not a lot but it feels like I'm worthless and I'm not doing any work

I love art, for the longest, I have always wanted to pursue a career in art. During my times of high school, I gave up sleeping to draw for friends and in my social media. Shortly after, I had... a fall out with my parents because they did not agree with my "hobby" that I think is traumatic to me in a way. I don't have a memory on how much we lashed out on each other, I went and stayed with friends the same night. One day, I think I just had enough came home and accepted their wishes for me to study engineering. I don't know how, but they are happy with the news and I'm happy for them too.

I started studying sciences, I used to hate them but I studied math, chemistry, and physics, I did it all to make them proud. I got accepted in a very selective public school, the pressure was on me because I was basically the impostor: I had basic math knowledge, no provisions for engineering, and had never touched machines. But I accepted it. Soon after, I realized, I had changed. I no longer doodle on notebooks, I don't know how to draw anymore, I no longer interested in art, but my heart felt a pang of sadness. Yes, I love my new study, but I always felt sadness when I see my old friends pursuing art through joy and grief. I soon felt tired when it's getting more advanced (my study), but I'm a capable student. Nowadays, seeing how accomplished my artists friends are with the same age as me, makes me wonder what if I was hard-headed and stood my place back then.

but then I always keep my spirits up with the thought: Art world is FAR harsher than any other fields I was on. They had their own share of difficulty, but I lost my main source of happiness too, drawing, that makes me feel out of place all the time.

Depression works as two edged sword .you take refugee in social media and then mourn for time lost

[SoCalRegisteredNurse]

Sleep is my escape. I just went through such a bad spell of depression I had to take time off work. I can tell when it’s coming on, like the dark clouds are rolling in. I think I commented this on another video but I didn’t shower for eight days. I Uber eated burgers, fettuccine- always with a dessert. Gained nine pounds in a month. Looking back, because I’m feeling better now, I don’t know what caused it. I wake up and feel differently and as the days go on it gets progressively worse, but this one was really bad I didn’t get off the couch. When I went back to work I had to wake my brain up because I felt so sluggish in the head

[nawabmukhlis]
