As the year comes to an end, are you feeling more burnout or fired up?

The speech issue is such a good indicator. When I got diagnosed with depression I was unable to form articulate phrases even though I never had this problem before. The inability to express myself and even the lack of energy to do so was killing me on the inside

“People who have never dealt with depression think it’s just being sad or being in a bad mood. That’s not what depression is for me; it’s falling into a state of grayness and numbness.” — Dan Reynolds

You add anxiety to depression and it's a different ball game: Debilitating, potential robbing world of hurt.

It’s been hard getting out of bed for the past 4 years and doing anything productive. Even right now I’ve been just sitting in bed for an hour after waking up. I try to stay energetic and fun especially during conversations and there are moments where I truly believe I’m fine but then I shut up, and I go into a dark place in my head and it’s so hard to pretend that I didn’t just think about hanging myself when trying to continue a conversation. I’m always hurting and fumbling words and sometimes I just want to sit silent. It takes so much brainpower just to do normal tasks and it’s very belittling because I know that it’s just a simple thing like putting the dishes up or getting out of bed. I don’t even know why I wrote this down, I already know that I just wasted a chunk of my energy for the day. Don’t know how to end this here so I’ll just leave it at that.

I'm pretty sure I have depression but the speech issue makes a lot of sense, my mom is always telling me I'm mumbling and I never used to do that until a while ago. thank you

Oh my god thank you! I thought it was all in my head because I never found the words for it… but reduced psychomotor function is definitely what I’ve been experiencing along with my suffocating mood swings. Thank you for opening my eyes ❤

I feel like this channel knows me better than I do. You’ve helped me figure out a lot of things about me, and tips so thank you :)

I relate to sign number 2, mood swing. I feel anger and negativity in peaceful moments. Constantly having bad memories and violent thoughts swirl in my head when I do not want them to.

[tommygunn]

Definitely in this boat and have been teetering with very dark thoughts. Also stopped seeing a therapist after going thru 5 of them within a year for failure to meet my needs

for months now I’ve been in a constant state of sadness and me hating myself thinking i’m worthless, weak, nothing or a pile of trash. these videos have been the only thing keeping me up tysm

[mgc]

It is not necessarily worthlessness, but a feeling of intense suffocating loneliness. I am trapped in an environment I cannot grow out of due to a lot of factors that are completely outside of my control. This severely affects my social life, as a result I'm feeling extreme stress and sense of suffocation. I often find myself wishing for horrible things so my own situation changes, which in turn adds guilt to the list. I don't want to be this person, so this further adds self hatred. Which leads to low self esteem, which leads to despair.

I hate being this person.. I want to get out. I have to get out! I tried a lot but I don't have the tools to break out of this loop. It is not the loss of interest in things, it is the inability to do those things that's making me depressed.

Soon as I was feeling like this with my gf, this video just predicted my mind and now Ik why I wasn’t feeling the energy to show her much attention.

Heavy on the no interest one. That’s definitely something I feel like people really need to know as a sign of depression

I used to experience those symptoms periodically, three to four times a week approximately, and Tuesdays for some reason were always the days that those episodes occurred. New medication helped me to calm down, but I think it made me lazier, I don’t feel energetic. I started to stay up for longer, going to sleep at like 2 AM (which is the case as of writing this comment). And the scariest part is that I feel like I’m starting to slip into the state I was before medication again.

Watching every video of depression
And relating to every while having anxiety too
I wish someone could understand me
I wish I wasn’t this alone
It’s like I wanna end it
But for now can’t seem to gather the courage to do it myself
Wouldn’t wish this even on a enemy
Sending hugs to everyone 🫂🤍and healing ❤️‍🩹 to every one out there who is fighting these demons
