I think I have depression and makes me want to be alone. when I was trying to run away they yelled at me and didn't let me go. I told them I just wanted to be alone and I was depressed but they said "what are you to have depression". When I said that I met pycologist and was planning to see psychiatrist they told me that I was just ungrateful. I feel like killing myself

[lawrenciasowatey]

Answered yes to the first question but for the second no. I've been keeping myself really busy.
I just can't sleep
I'm usually upset over little issues.
I really don't know if I'm depressed

[ifinnishboy]

2/2 i still am sometimes happy but it feels akward

[Валя-рь]

1/2
I don’t feel sad, but for the past 5 months I’ve been feeling less energetic and just wanting to stay in bed. I’ve lost interest in my hobby which I’ve been into for the past 5 years

[the_real_tabby]

Since ive said yes to both i think i will talk to my parents about it. Its not just an inconvenience anymore. I just don't know what to say which is why i keep hiding my feelings for so long.

[sophiajeileen]

Dr Varun, I’m currenlty new to your channel. My answer is YES at #1 and YES to #2. I don’t know if it’s true that I may not have a depression but, Depending on how I feel, I feel like I’ve been suffering on Depression and Anxiety at the same time. I feel restless every night even I take my vitamins, everytime I wake-up I feel low energized and tired. I’ve tried to avoid my family, friends and strangers because everytime I see their fashion, things or how they talk about other people. Just makes me feel stressed, toxic, anxious or depressed. Also, Even when I go outside, When I am meeting new people I always imagined worst scenario if I act like this or if I friend with him/her. Or even If I walk far away from home, I’m experiencing social anxiety too... Please help me😞

[jovonifebus]

I don’t know what to do I stress until my hair falls out and I never want to go anywhere, I always want to be alone and just stopped caring about everything what should I do

[mychemicaldelusion]

I've lost interest in my favorite activities and I've felt so sad for a really long time but I do listen to motivations for teens

[VinVox]

I'm 18 years old I have trouble sleeping I have lost all my hope I'm just in my bed for like 2 months not doing anything just watching videos or staring at the wall It was not this bad last year but since my dog my only bestfriend passed away it all just got worse. It feels like nothing just emptiness. I have lost too much weight I don't have any friends also I can't talk to anyone about it. It feels like I'm slowly dying

[dillity]

I may be late but I really dont want to share my feelings with anyone. I tried looking for a free diagnosis online but to no avail. I dont want to speak to my larents as I will and do already feel shameful of the outcome. As I am only 14, I cant really go out anywhere and seek medical attention and get a proper diagnosis. I an also 98% sure that I have Psychotic Depression and don't want to self-diagnose. Im stuck jn wondering and researching about this and I dont think it will stop anytime soon

[katsukibakugou]

I...I'm...yes, and yes...just...😩😮

I'm only 10 ( almost 11) but I show symptoms from all of these types of videos.
I'm constantly irritable and have thoughts about being "terrible at everything" and "ugly."
I would never hurt myself but it still feels awful. My parents support and believe me accept it doesn't feel like I'm getting anywhere.
What should I do?

[jeevanjyoti]

I am depressed because of another reason
I was insulted on minor scale but I added it more and more but never cried on it so having them in my mind plus my academics problem, people said me idiot because they didn't knew something and even because of no reasons other, I started crying many times a year for 4 years
I am anxious of maths related anything even if it is addition or subtraction, not able to do something properly and can't listen to motivation, hating the motivators
Can't be trusted for a work, I got that in my heart, I can't make friends easily and even didn't had interest in meeting new people made me have no one to talk to. I am afraid of talking about to any of my relative.i can cry easily . So I used almost everything to reduce my stress but I did everything wrong in anger which made me more depressed. I even thought of suicide but I don't want to do because of my family's good. Whenever I think of my parents or some memories, I start crying without someone noticing. I am depressed more due to thinking about myself or suicide plan.
I have interest in playing on myself and thinking something over but no one knew that I was depressed
I am just 14 years old

[brinaw]

I guess for me I always wonder like what the difference is between having a mental illness or it just being your personality. I've been anxious and depressed for so long (about 10yrs) that I don't really even think of it as a bad thing, it just feels normal like a part of my personality. That probably makes no sense but that's how I feel.

[deathnote]

Yes, every single day.
Yes, but its not little but i lost interest TOTALLY to everything.

[pranavnaik]

Is there some way
To end life without pain and quickly, without it being too gruesome?

[Sekmeys_Vlog]

Previously it lasts 3 months and now almost half year 😖😖 and now I feel I am completely a different person this is not real me 😔😔😔

[kit_kit]

I dont like saying I have depression but I will say it here... I usually cry outside in the dark without telling anyone, i cry over deaths that whernt my fault but they fell like they where and i sometimes say to myself "i cant keep anyone alive" it was mostly pets or animals, I also get yelled at almost every day

Btw i awnsered both yes to those Awnser, but what really alarms me is that i usually feel that on a dayly basis

[nikischannel]

I said yes to both of your questions but I'm afraid it's just laziness.

[umamaheshwari]

Yes sir 2/2
Crying like anything, hopeless and being lost sometimes sry all the time

[lydiaallen]

1) yes 2) yes
Hey, I was wondering if i could have some advice. I suffered from self harm about a year ago and I was never diagnosed with depression but had a lot of the symptoms and went to therapy, etc.. I changed schools and I’ve been doing really well but all of a sudden over summer break I’ve relapsed into harming myself and losing interest in everything. I end up laying in bed all day to music, sometimes crying if I can. I’m too afraid to tell my parents or therapist as I’m scared they’ll think it’s just a phase like they had said before, I’m also afraid my parents will get angry at me for being in a good place but still being so upset about other things. Thanks
