'Wanting to be alone, but not wanting to be lonely'
I relate with that a lot :(

[Swiftie]

Very relatable, it's hard to deal with when you're at school though. Very hard

[sanskritisingh]

Fear of failure but no urge to be productive felt that

[justmadeit]

It’s terrifying to experience it at its worst. It’s mental torture

[cpisghe]

The worst part is when you think it's finally over, but really, its just clutching somewhere around you and ends up always coming back ...

[eclipwsue]

being the quiet kid and no one knows how I feel is just.

[OceanVanillaTea]

Thank you. I’ve been wanting to cry all day, but I’ve been numb to sadness. Then I had an overwhelming sadness, but couldn’t cry. I never thought I’d ever feel the pleasure in crying until today…

[kaystephens]

I hate that our people feel this way. My heart goes out to everyone here. It takes a lot of courage to do that. But please don't be sad. It's normal to feel needed. I love anyone here that needs to hear that. I know I do sometimes. Look up at the sky and think about how special and unique you truly are. One of a kind in this beautiful world.

As a person who has depression this is absolutely true its so difficult when ur at like work/school

[ForgettwbleJJ]

oml you can feel the sick depressed feeling in your stomach and it makes you want to yell at everyone you come across and cry. it comes in waves so when people randomly get mad at you, sometimes they can’t really control that

I have never heard something describe me this well in my whole life. I relate to every single thing in this video its kinda scary lol (i have depression and anxiety)

[Vivianisunderyourbed]

I’m not sure if I have depression and I don’t want to self diagnose but.. this is exactly how I feel.

[TheRetroReboot]

I have depression and all my parents say is I'm too young to be depressed, I dont know what to do

[astridblakeemmett]

This is the best way to describe it in my opinion

[paulmkz]

Having depression isnt wanting friends or wanting to fall in love but not having that want manifest in your mind to where you have thoughts and emotions that connect you to the present moment when your around people. Its basically losing the ability to keep a steady thought stream of being in the moment and thinking positively 99% of the time. Depression, anxiety, and ocd are like having to constantly fight having your thoughts and feelings be sucked into a black hole of nothingness or negativity

[katrinat.]

I have a friend with major depression. I’m always trying to understand. This video helped me understand a little bit.

[darkreaper]

I have both depression & anxiety, thats 1 of the best ways to describe it

[yrslscb]

It is just wanting to be understood by a single human being, it's just wanting to sit by oneself and fighting the inner war . It is just wanting to take a rest then restart differently..

[prismatic]

This is basically the last step in my anxiety recovery. I’ve pretty much overcome every other type of anxiety except this one, I’m scared that I may have depression or may come to that point even though everything in life is okay.

[Tilly-kkyn]

that is the most relatable thing i have every head, expains my thoughts everyday
