The worst part is, when you can lay down and do nothing, I feel the worst of guilt and like I'm wasting my life.

I am a 15 year old boy now. I started to experience things like being unable to get out of bed, numbness, loss of interest and excessive tiredness during lockdown. My family members couldn't understand why I was behaving so wierd. They thought that I am getting lazy. My mom would force me to study, this made me hate studies.
My mom would often beat me or throw me out of house. My dad would yell at me and my sister would think that I'm psycho. This left me in pain, loneliness and hopelessness.
I have been suffering from depression for more than 2 years now. Sometimes, I sleep at 6 or don't eat anything for hours or start crying for no reason or worse, get suicidal thoughts. I act like there's nothing wrong when I'm outside. I smile, crack jokes and make everyone laugh. Yeah, I get happy temporarily but it's a different story when I am alone. No one would have the slightest doubt that I'm depressed until something happens.
I smile when I'm outside and cry when I'm alone.

It always surprised me that I understand that I may have depression, but despite this, I continue to consider myself a lazy egoist.

Zoning out/staring out into nothing, hear people talking but feel like their words just fly through your skull, in one ear, out the other. Memory issues, days blend together. And much more 😨

[DaniIhzaFarrosi]

I’m at the stage where “Yes, I might be depressed. But now what, what should I do? I don’t wanna be depressed. How do I get rid of it..”

[MrBizzywolf]

To anyone who feels like they are different because of the depressive symptoms they are experiencing, just know that...

These videos can guide you to understanding your symptoms and point you to getting the help you need to cope/manage a more healthy life.. KEEP YOUR HEAD UP.... YOU ARE LOVED!

[Cannibal_Crab]

The worst thing about being drained by your depression is when you get to the point when you don't want to even try anymore, your brain is just so tired of this fight that it thinks "Screw that, I am so exhausted"...😔

I think it's even worse when your roommates/friends begin to feel some sort of way when you don't hang out with them as much despite them knowing you are struggling with mental health. And when you are going "no contact" with family. It's hard to find anyone who feels like a safe space in your personal life, I'm grateful for my therapist but I also wish I had someone to lean on in my personal life

I got diagnosed with depression. I've been dealing with this struggle for 6 weeks now. It's really hard to explain how it feels having depression. It's something invisible. I started having suicidal thoughts and idea's of how to end myself. I reached out for help and now I got medication that will help me relax more. I have more respect now for mental health than I ever had before. The only hope I can give to people struggling: Get yourself help before it's too late. Often we don't see our problems and think it's our own fault. That's not true! Trust your psychologist.

[nikola]

I feel like worst part of depression for me is that I feel so unattractive and so insecure. Even though people tell that I look attractive, I do not feel that way. I feel hopeless...

[paimonemergencyfood]

Psych2Go, you have been my therapist for the past few years and I'm extremely grateful for what you're doing. Please keep it and have more success in the future. Thank you

I like to watch videos about depression because it gives me a chance to judge my progress honestly. One of the common sayings about depression I hate because it sounds very dismissive is that depression is like catching a cold. But, it's not. It doesn't just go away. You honestly have to work at your hardest to even make an iota of progress at healing yourself. I've also realized through therapy and taking medications that you have to be open to change mentally to make changes within yourself. My family doctor has said I've probably had depression for a long time since my sleeping problems have started during my adolescence. I've worked through most of these symptoms and accepted that there is no better or worse me for not feeling my best at times. I will probably experience insomnia as an ongoing problem, but I'm working through it through my diet and herbal medicines (ashwaganha and tart cherry pills seems to work for me). I've also started to take glycine and l-theanine because I wanted to sleep earlier than 4:30 am or later in the night. I've accepted that antidepressents don't work for me because it makes me zone out the following day and worsens my anxiety because I can't get anything done. Symtons #2 and 4 is playing havok with my concentration at work and studies so I've asked my doctor to prescribe me with low dosage of adhd medication. Hopefully, this will increase my concentration levels. If you have severe "allergic" reactions to taking more medications because you're thinking enough is enough, you don't need to go full throttle all the way to heal. Just take one step at a time. Because pre-depression, I was always through emotional wringer with all the physical examinations, blood tests, and changes in diet, etc. I had to go through since I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and started blaming myself, and just wanted a timeline to get through everything to call it quits. But, I learned too late that physical and emotional healing is an ongoing process and that there is no finish line. It all starts with self-care. Please love yourself first.

I’ve been diagnosed with anxiety and depression and watching this video hits home with me on many levels 🥺

[Noob]

Life is hard.
I struggle with depression.
I struggle with extreme anger issues
And I struggle with ADHD.
This means, I can’t control any emotions but anger is the one that takes over a lot (cause I cannot control it) and this adhd is making me just do things without knowing, and getting yelled at for it is making my depression peak higher.
Please everyone remember this quote.
“Treat everyone the same as you want to be treated yourself.”

[QueenEspeon]

Remember: depressed means deep rest from the persona you're 'playing'. I remember from a clip, Jim Carrey describing depression as "I don't want to play this character anymore".

Taking antidepressants may help, but that unfortunately won't solve anything; unless you take a deep rest from whatever persona is causing depression.

Also advice from someone who went through brutal spiritual awakenings: being depressed is a factor of life; as in, it's ok to be depressed and have no idea why. By allowing oneself to simply feel, observe, and learn (without becoming or labeling that emotion, action, etc to oneself) that will grant tools. Tools to help with future bouts of any negative or positive aspects of life.

When you thought you are emotionally strong but after watching this video you actually have some of these signs is just terrifying! It's indeed hidden signs of depression and deadly when left unresolved. Thank you for spreading awareness! <3

[trinaq]

Thanks so much for this video, it's amazing how these little signs can all add up to depression.

[nickmarch]

I had almost all the mentioned symptoms and signs.Continued therapy, medications and prayers helped me to overcome these situations.
Nowdays I try to be guiding light to others.Not only I counsel others but also try to bring a smile on their face.
My therapist, Ms. Sikha at CIP had advised me that the best therapy to overcome the pain is to act as a soother to others and really it has a positive effect on me tremendously.
Recently people thanked me for sparing time for a lady at a Primary Health Centre at our campus.There were many but none came forward for help.
I am happy that she would remember me at least for a couple of days.Not monterery but blessings really calm me.

Psilocybin containing mushroom saved my life. The drastically reduced my benzodiazepine withdrawal allowing me to quite illicit pill addiction after three years of heavy daily use before it would had became medically dangerous to quit. it has also helped me to survive depression
