7 Signs You're Depressed and Don't Know It

May was mental health awareness month. Even though we are late to posting this, we hope this video about depression can still help raise awareness. Sometimes, the signs of depression are not so obvious. For example, unstable mood, not being able to fall asleep, or losing appetite. Want to know how to know the signs of depression? We recommend seeing a professional if you see yourself relating to many of these signs.

As a mental wellness channel, we hope that the channel has somewhat inspired you to seek your own therapy, and gained a better understanding into your conditions.

This video is not meant to diagnose any individual nor is it a substitute for professional therapy. If you or a loved one have shown any of these signs and are concerned, please reach out to a mental health professional to explore in-depth. #depression

in case you don't have time to watch:

1. you emotions change depending on your surroundings (e.g. happy around friends, sad when you're alone)
2. you notice changes in your habits (sleeping, eating, showering, being on time)
3. you blame yourself for things, regardless of whether it's your fault or not
4. you've stopped doing things you used to, or stopped enjoying it (you might carry on doing them and act happy so as not to ruin the mood around friends)
5. you've become indecisive, with major and minor issues (points towards being unsure of one's capability)
6. you're on edge/ irritable all the time and may overreact in situations that can be talked about easily
7. unexplained physical pain (aches and pains)

if you relate to one or more of these symptoms, it might help to talk to a mental health professional
have a good day! <3

As a man who used to struggle with depression these are the most helpful things I can think of:

-Take Risks, don't let the fear of failure stop you from trying something new or something great

-Do things that genuinely scare you or that you're afraid of (Even little things like climbing onto a roof and helping to put up Christmas lights if you're afraid of heights or saying something to the cute cashier girl other than "hi" and "thanks")

-Pursue an ambitious goal, one that a lot of people don't believe you can achieve (It doesn't even matter if you fail this because no matter what the pursuit of an ambitious goal will make you a better person and give you fulfillment) With that being said, do your best to succeed

-Have a passion, basically this means to find a hobby that you enjoy so much that you will spend hours and hours getting better at it

-Study history, pick a role model, and then analyze the traits of your role model and list the reasons why you admire them. Then start to emulate these traits in your everyday life and eventually you will become your own role model.

-Don't ever quit something just because it's hard (You can quit a crappy job if it's not the right fit for you, but never quit solely based on the fact that something is difficult). Embrace challenges and look for opportunities to improve yourself mentally, physically, and spiritually.

-Never put yourself down. Try not to think negative things about yourself and especially never say them out loud. You will think more highly of yourself when you say positive things about yourself, at the very least avoid putting yourself down on purpose.

-Live purposefully. Have a direction for your life and if you don't already have one, make one. Decide what's most important to you and live accordingly. If you have a family or even a single loved one, your first priority (other than serving God if you're religious) should be to provide for them, to protect them, and to help them become the best version of themselves

-Develop Integrity. I can't even explain how much this increases your self-repsect. Be honest, be trustworthy, don't cheat (unless you're in a street fight) and live with honor.

-Find a hobby that you're really passionate about and strive to become a master at it

-Finally, probably the most important thing I can say is to think less about yourself. Think less about yourself but not less of yourself. In other words, think about other people before you think about yourself, especially your family and loved ones. If you're focused on helping them with their problems I can promise you that your problems will become less important and less troublesome. Look for opportunities to help others and make them feel better about themselves. Nothing lifts you out of depression better than helping someone out of theirs.

I hope this helps. I realize that some people are genetically predisposed to having a harder time with depression, but I believe that there's nothing you can't overcome with a strong mindset. In addition, I strongly believe that going through depression and having such terrible lows actually gives you the capacity to feel even greater happiness and joy. The reason I say this is because when you feel genuine joy after being depressed for so long you can't help but feel grateful.

The beauty of life is that we are meant to experience the full range of human emotions, from happiness to anger to jealousy to despair to joy. We couldn't feel genuine happiness if we never knew what it was like to be sad. If I could talk to whoever is reading this face-to-face, what I would say to you would be simple: don't quit. A quote from Winston Churchill kept me going in times when I thought I had nothing left, he said: "If you're going through Hell, keep going."

Everything in life can be and is meant to be an opportunity to make yourself better, and depression is no exception. Keep fighting, all of you are descended from warriors no matter what culture or country you are from. You wouldn't be here today if it weren't for the conquering spirit of your ancestors. Live a life that would make them proud. While most of us will not fight in physical wars, no one is exempt from the battlefield of life. Depression can be a battle every single day, every single second in some cases. Keep fighting, it will only get better. And the more you fight, the more you will gain respect for yourself. I've conquered my depression. Every now and then it will start to try and creep back into my mind but I don't let it. I destroy those feelings with action. I go lift weights, I go running, I listen to metal music, whatever it takes for me to regain my confidence.

You can conquer depression, no matter how severe it is. That doesn't mean you'll never have days where you feel down, but it does mean that you'll have the strength to push through and do what you need to do as a man regardless of how you're feeling. Stay strong, stay hard, and fight like dragons 🐉 You're going to be very glad you did.

I have been in depression since 8th standard, I remember it was in 10th grade when I found out through an online counseling session that I have depression, I am in 11th grade as of now and I do not have a single medication because my family does not prioritise mental health, they only worry for the scars visible to the eye. Let me tell you that I go through literal hell, I can't describe what I go through everyday, It is so freaking bad that there's not a single day when I don't self harm, i feel like that's the only way of calming down, I know it's not right but I can't seem to stop. I hope anyone who's going through my situation stays strong. We will get through this too ✨.
