9 Things Depression Makes You Want to Hide

Today we talk about some of the things depression makes you want to hide and some of the things depression makes you do. But first things first. There are a lot of ways that depression can manifest itself. It's important to understand that not everyone with depression has the same symptoms or experiences.

This mental disorder is often characterized by low mood, feelings of sadness or emptiness, guilt or worthlessness, loss of interest in activities that once were pleasurable, decreased energy, addictions, changes in appetite, as well as difficulty concentrating and making decisions. And many people feel the need to hide their struggles due to fear of being misunderstood or judged.

If you think you might be experiencing signs of depression, or if you're just curious about what depression is like in real life, that's what this video is all about. It can be hard to talk about depression and other mental health issues, and we want to help make it easier for you. We have gathered some of the most common things you do because of depression. We hope this video helps you better understand your own experiences with mental health and gives you the courage to ask for help.

Spot on. Depression feels like an illness filled with shame because it’s so misunderstood by much of society. If I could climb out of this skin and mind to put on a suit of contentment, I would. It’s all exhausting.

This is EXACTLY how my daughter feels, all 9 😢 but showing her this video, I could tell she felt less alone in her struggle. Thank you...

I too suffered depression for a long time and I managed to get through it with therapy & medication. I wish there is a permanent cure for depression.

This is everything I’ve been going through. I don’t know who to turn to! I’m hoping this world will come to an end before I have to push myself over the edge🎉🎉

I've been subscribed to Brainy Dose since approx. 2019. Y'all have published very good videos and topics on the channel, several of which have helped me over the years, liked introversion and old souls. Have y'all considered setting up a Patreon, allowing the community to further support the work y'all do??

This one really spoke to me. I've dealt with depression - and its tag-along sadness - off-and-on for 27 years. (Back in my day, sadness wasn't standalone like it is now; they were one-and-the-same. If you were sad, most people assumed you were depressed.) It was with me when I was young, dumb, naive, and under 21. Even with therapy and treatment, parts of it were with me when I served my country and completed the rest of my education journey. They were there when I worked jobs and lived life like everyone else.

What I didn't know was that I wasn't myself. I didn't know that I was different from everyone else and it's okay. About two years ago in grad school, I discovered what I call the Eight Ailments: stereotypes, myths, misconceptions, social proofs, stigmas, curses, assumptions, and hasty generalizations. I was living under some of these and, I wasn't my true self or a happier me. I'm still work in process, but I'm in a better place now; I'm understanding more about me now than I did when I was younger. I still wish, though, that others understood us so they can truly see us for more than our ailments and help us just like they would want others to help them.

Thank you, Brainy Dose. Please keep doing what you do. 🤗 Still subscribed.

Everything about this video is entirely accurate!

You hit me spot on I had probably nine-tenths of what you said especially about feeling lazy I was told that by my father at one time and it think it has literally taken root and has multiplied over the years

Mental health is so underrated that people with mental illness avoid seeing a psychiatrist / psychologist just because it becomes a social stigma if found out. Our society should normalize mental health and well-being practices just as having food that's healthy has been normalized. Depression if not addressed can lead to drastic steps, including suicide, by those who suffer from it. It's a pity not much is being to raise awareness about this common ailment which can be treated completely by professionals.

Are used to enjoy so many things and now it feels like a chore to go out after work. Yes I work hard doing manual labor working for myself for 10 hours a day six days a week and after work I just wanna come home and relax so it’s hard for me to have hobbies when I waste a lot of energy being 43 years old restoring old cars. I’m on my feet all day and that’s probably why I sleep like a baby. I have no problems sleeping at all.

[frankkarkoska]

Yep, that's me. I have chronic depression. Why? I don't know why it's been so persistent all of my life. However, my daddy died when I was eleven of heart disease and my mother never remarried. I will turn 71 this November. A slew of short term therapy and psychiatrist and psychologists over the years did not "cure me." So here I am. I read/viewed this video and I thought, yep this is me. Exactly! Oh well.

Some excellent point about the Symptoms of Depression but should be more Inquiry about the Social / Systemic Causes of being unhoused, unemployed, Racism / marginalization (if one is a member of an Oppressed social group); Not having Social Mobility / Accomplishment / Stagnation; Personal losses of death or estrangement of family members / long time friends / lovers; critical Health issues of blood disorder and/or vital organ failure. its also important Not to Frame / Discuss Depression in Colourblind Terms that are Devoid of Race or other categories of Gender and Age. Depression is "Raced" and "Gendered" too..

But it is true; most people WON'T understand what we're going through. Congrats to exceptions, but approximately 80% won't care, and the remaining 20 will be glad that you have problems, be it depression or whatever. Sometimes it really is best to not share anything.
