I have experience depression before and i promise you you do not want to have that mental issue.you will feel like you did something wrong and you want to kill yourself after everytime that feeling comes
I was depressed due to the death of my father because I saw him die in front of me, but fortunately due to care and love by my friends and family, i overcame it and now I'm pretty positive about everything (i think?) and now sometimes i still have trouble sleeping thinking about it and sometimes i zone out thinking about it but everything gives an permanent effect so it's not much-
I hate when people fake depression but also when people do SH for attention, they also need help and people who do that were probably neglected, but of course she risked triggering people and it was a shitty thing to do. There's probably also a chance she isn't faking depression because anybody who needs attention that much has a good chance of having depression.
That's exactly what I'm thinking! But no one pays attention to people like this, of course not all depressed people are in a Corner or sad, but what she did was so shitty. But these people need help if their willing to hurt themselves for attention
exactly. Like I sh two days ago (I don’t think I’m depressed but a really bad overthinker idrk tbh) and people just send their scars online or show ppl irl and say “OhHh Im sO dEprEsSed” like it hurts me so bad to see people fake their depression and do SH for clout and attention. It hurts others who are depressed and don’t do SH for attention and do it for like yk reasons
why tho? it doesn't even affect u, and the positives outweigh the "negatives". when I faked my sa, my now-boyfriend asked me out because he felt bad for me, and now I'm happier than ever (and yes, the D IS FIREEEE❤🔥)
Someone with Depression here, seeing people use it for attention is annoying and irritating. People have different ways on how react to depression not always hurting themselves. I and some people I've seen who show signs of depression say that they don't c*t themselves but inflict harm in other ways. And pretending to jump off is NOT okay I've heard people who did such and it sickens me that someone tried to fake one. Just a note real people with depression sometimes have a fake persona in where their all happy go lucky to hide the fact their mentally ill, But not everyone who acts like such is depressed this is just for some people. And showing your scars from SH and pointing them out and posting them on social media isn't a good thing either. I'm actually disgusted your classmate even does this😭
As someone that also had depression, i agree, it’s such a pain in the ass to see idiots faking it for attention, and also yeah, not everyone express their depression in the same way, i used to just be happy at school since i never wanted to see my classmates worried, but yeah, after they knew what i was going though they decided to help me.
I had a classmate like that. It was obvious she was faking since she's an attention seeker. She literally cut herself too and show it to the whole CLASS and be like "look what I did" and she seemed PROUD ! Because of it she could do troubles in school but she wasn't punished to not "hurt her feeling further" and because her mom is the kind of mom who think their children are angel. Seriously, self harming is not fun or something to get attention from !
I was in a similar situation too when one of my classmates decided to get some scissors and fake cutting themself (IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE CLASS.) Everyone believed him.
As some one who has struggled with depression and SH, this is absolutely awful. Having depression is not a joke and people shouldn't fake it for attention
0:56 no because this sets me off because i have self harm scars on my body and has active depression and i get so mad when i hear or meet people like this
2:02 you are correct depression is not a joke it’s a serious mental illness that if not treated properly can get worse. So to everyone who actually has depression let me tell you that you are loved and appreciated by someone out there and you deserve better because you are special and unique❤
@@Sam2030_tea Really? It's Offensive Seeing People Fake Disorders Like I Think I'm Depressed Ngl & I Think I have ADHD , Misophonia , Ik I Have Dyslexia
Wanna bring some real talk here. Time for life lessons with Reily. Your favorite six o'clock channel Yes, some people do show off every scar, because they want attention. That doesn't mean they're faking though. Some people may find comfort in being the center of attention. It's kinda the same logic as kids having temper tantrums, they want something, so they make a fuss to have it. Depressed can come/make separation anxiety, which could be a reason why someone needs to be the center of attention We can't act like we know what's going on in her life. Faking or not. Still, if she is hurting herself, then there is a mental problem going on. It doesn't automatically mean depression, but it could be Depression is a very serious thing and it isn't just an open book. Healing is the most painful thing anyone can go through
I was diagnosed with depression 4 years ago. I went through horrible times and even a member of my family committed suicide due to depression. Today I have a calmer life and I take medication. Seeing someone pretending to gain attention makes me very sad, since the biggest problem I had with depression was acceptance from other people. People saying I was lying, saying I need to go to church or even calling me ungrateful. It was a very difficult time, but I finally managed to maintain a balance and I have great friends by my side. I love your video! (Sorry for bad grammar)
Yea but i'm feeling good and bit sad of my eyebrows i feel like i hate myself because i'm fucking bad at all i feel like i'm gonna hide my personality i'm not depressed but i did this sh maybe we will love you at all :)
there was this one girl who was dating my friend. she sat at our lunch table and would say things like "i'm going to cut myself because you said that" or she'd show us how she was about to cut. we all yelled at her because she made my friend and i want to relapse so my friend broke up with her ofc, but she was a such an attention seeker.
Word advice: Instead of letting them continue this, report them on social media and tell an adult about the SH immediately, it's not a safe considering behavior, trust me, it's best to report it
Fun fact!: not everyone who does self harm are depressed, they might just wanna feel something or is just tired! Another fun fact!: not all self harming are abt cutting! Last: not everyone depressed are doing self-harm and even if they do they don’t want to show off (normally)
Coming from a person who is depressed and has does SH I just genuinely hate people who are like that. Some people can't control lying or doing stuff like that for attention and I get that because I had a friend to compulsively lies a lot and does stuff for attention, but still there's other ways to get attention without hurting yourself or lying.
I don't do that but true, no sane person would cut themselves to get attention. She's obviously struggling with something but doesn't know how to get help
A girl in my class asked me "Do you have depression? Then why do you have cuts and scars everywhere?" And i didn't immediately answer because she said "we should be friends, i cut myself too!" My teacher stared at the girl like 😧 and said "miss, you don't have depression because your mother told me about your visit to the psychologist, and she doesn't cut herself, she just got an accident"
Even if it’s not healthy for anyone around her, it’s still a form of mental illness closely related to depression, or depression itself. It’s a bit like a coping mechanism, if someone doesn’t know how to ask for help, or feels like their ‘problems’ are seen as unimportant (even if that’s not the case), they can often overstep it to get that ‘attention’ so people know what she’s going through. Yes, it’s attention seeking, but it’s still quite possibly depression, or another mental illness in that same bracket.
I don't know the past of people faking depression, but it's still wrong and they should know that. I'm glad I got over my depression a year ago because it was honestly stressful😭
1:04 imagine being scratched by a cat so u had to cover them up with short n loose sleeves bc it will dirupt the healing process n then getting a tetnas shot bc u had an infection😘😘😘
A real person with depression hides it with happiness most times and doesnt like attention If they cut themself They dont go around showing it bc they are scared of people finding out They wont post suicidal thoughts or the favt they hurt them selves on social media bc there parents could easily find out and it wont end well for them (These have been my experiences and me watching other go throught it its different for everyone)
depression is different for everyone. some people express themselves and some people hide it. just because you hide it doesn’t mean anyone who shows how they feel are “faking it.” people cope in different ways.
My friend did that one time, she literally just told me she cuts and showed me the wounds OUT OF NO WHERE and my other friend said that this person also sent them photos w/out warning. Even though I’m sad they hurt themselves, showing ppl without asking is really rude and triggering for some ppl, especially for those who used to cut.
but she still isnt okay, she needs support. Sh'ing for attention is also serious and should be given attention for. Because from a different perspective, shes still harming herself.
As someone who has a self harm addiction I hate people who do that for attention because it makes people who have real problems get written off as attention seekers
This is in no way a hate comment, and I wasn't there, I don't know the details, but if the cuts were real, no matter how much she craves attention, she can't be in a good place mentally. When people get positive or comforting attention, that would make them happy for at least a bit, and will feel validated. And if she was actually climbing the fence at that point in the video, you can't make an inside dialogue like "Yesss fake it for attention!!" that's no way realistic. Allat doesn't excuse her behavior though, since this can really make others uncomfortable or worse. Personally my toxic ex friend have similar, though much less dangerous (like scratching himself THAT way in front of me to yk, attention and kinda manipulation tactic too but shhh) and I spiraled down right to deep depression because of him. So it is still horrible.
Especially some of us with depression, they don't actually show people what happened to them and not even giving a clue what they did to themselves, and barely getting any attention but doesn't say anything ahout it, if they do theu might say it in a joking and playful manner
I swear when people ACTUALLY have depression or other problems often they're scared to tell that or seek help because they think they sound like attention seekers...
Someone posting self harm online could be signs of someone nearing suicide and making final attempts to reach out for help. Accusing someone of faking depression is petty and childish. A friend of mine got accused of the same thing and a week later she got put in a psych ward because her mom caught her attempting. If someone were willing to harm themselves for attention they are depressed, someone not mentally ill wouldn't harm themselves for attention. Report it to a counselor or such before they kms.
Even if shes faking depression shes still very obviously mentally ill if shes going out of her way to cut, she definitely needs therapy or just help in general since nobody with a healthy mindset thinks this way
1:56. So true. If you are depressed, don’t seek help with cutting yourself and suicide. You need to get the right help. I hope this helps if you’re depressed ❤
Reminds me of the girl from “as told by ginger” when she would wear heavy makeup and stuff and she thought being “emo” meant being depressed and such even when she was faking it(no I have not seem the show but I remember seeing a synopsis of the episode and I wanted to share it)
as sm1 who is recovering from sh i hate seeing ppl do it for attention, ESPECIALLY when they show it to ppl, i understand if there ur friends and you need help to stop it, or maybe if they ask to see it, but just showing that to random ppl could trigger them to do it if there sober from sh
I literally had depression when i was 14, it was gruelling everyday because people called me “emo” “barcode wrists” and its not even funny, depression is a serious problem thats hard to overcome at such a young age, I tried SS but my best friend saved me fortunately….
AND THE FACT THAT DEPRESSED PPL HAVE THIS TENDENCY TO NOT WANT ANYONE TO KNOW THAT THEY HAVE DEPRESSION AND WILL FEEL EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE IF EXPOSED 😭😭
As a person who actually have sh scars and depression (dw I'm fine), I cant believe people could do this to themself just for attention. I also have a classmate who faked a lot of mental illness (Adhd, autism, insomnia, etc)
I knew someone like this, technically I still do because she’s still my classmate, but anyways, she’s already stopped cutting herself thankfully, but she’s still been problematic as of late. She’s rarely in class, when she isn’t, she’s claiming that she’s in the hospital because ‘everything hurts’ and that she’s been given multiple medications, and even when she isn’t absent, she doesn’t do any of her homework or class work and barely listens in class. My other classmates try to be nice but it’s just hard with how much attention seeking she does, it’s her entire personality now.
I hate that some people fakes being suicidal because there was a girl in my school that went in 7th grade that killed herself and I think it’s disrespectful and disgusting to fake being depressed and doing SH
There’s a girl, who did this, she was my friend and we’re still friends kind of, but like.. why would you show a teacher your scars and on purpose make them uncomfortable and say, “Do you like my tiger stripes” 😨
Ngl is somebody does SH they wouldn't show their scars they would hide it and if somebody is depressed they wouldn't show that much sadness around people they would mostly fake smile :0
Bro Depression is something that u should take serious bc some people will actually be self harming themself bc of a lot of stuff that may be going on in their life. Also have suicidal thoughts is literally one of the worst things to joke about like u want to k!ll urself and end life. Once ur done joking about it and everyone find out, u will have depression fr bc everyone will hate u and not trust u :/ (Sry if this dint make sense my head hurts and it’s 1:30 AM for me rn 😭)
It's crazy how people who fake depression get a bunch of attention but those who really have it don't get any help or comfort. When I was still suicidal in 3rd grade, I planned my own suicide and I wanted to tell my favorite teacher goodbye but someone in my class heard and told everyone and I was bullied for being emo until I was in my first year in middle school
It happened and like (it was literally just nail scratches) all of her friends were running and crying saying if you do it then I’ll do it too , they all grabbed their scissors and tried to cut themselves while me and my friends , we both are really, we’re looking at all this mess.
What the hell. I cut myself for more than a year till my mother found out, and this is so messed up. Depression isn't dressing emo or something like that, it's that feeling in your heart that hurts like a knife, and you don't have the mood to get up or do anything, look at screens for hours, and cry a lot.
Bro I opened up to my friend abt my sh n depression and the next day she posted a vid w some red marker on her wrists and the caption said “sh is SO hard to deal with🙄 #depressed💔” LIKE WHAT WHO SELF HARMS AND POSTS IT??? N it’s not even done cuz like a week later, I told her abt spending the weeken at a hospital cuz I tried to kms. N GUESS WHAT SHE POSTS WHEN SHE GETS HOME? A VID OF HER EYE W A TEAR W THE CAPTION, “I’m going to kms cuz I’m deppressed and nobody will stop me💔🥺” LIKE WHO DOES THAT?? IF U REALLY WANTED TO KYS U WOULDNT POST IT UNLESS U WANTED SOME COMFORT LIKE WHAT IS WRONG W HER? SHE DID THE SAME THING WHN I TOLD HER ABT MY ADHD. AND WHEN I TOLD HER ABT MY AGE REGRESSION LIKE OMG SHE PISSES ME OFF
As someone with depression and SH scars, I never show it to anyone because it can be triggering and also im personal sad to rember what i did to my body.Many people with depression including me can be very Insecure about the scars and cuts as well. That fact that she is doing this is honestly disgusting.tbh I also feel bad for all the people who actually think she's being serious and they probably care alot about her. If you can you should tell your teacher because her actions are actually gross
That one pick me girl in your classroom be like: ,,Oh its only cuts I will just cover them up with my sleeves,,LIKE FAKING YOUR DEPRESSION FOR ATTENTION WOOWOWWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWWO GIVE THIS GIRL A OSCAR FOR HAVING ACTING SKILLS! MAYBE SHE JUST HIERD A BFF LIKE THATS MESSED UP I HAVE THIS TYPE OF PERSON IN MY CLASSROOM TO I HATE HER.. ITS JUST SO SO sorry went full on relatable 🥲
1:57 one not all mental illness is specifically because of depression coming from someone who deals with it. Two yes it is. But you should be the last one saying that while making a joke video about other peoples sh. With the intro being hello my scrumpty dumpy beloved angels or some shit using GACHA life without actually trying to spread awareness on anything. You don’t know what she could be going through.
Let’s keep in mind some people don’t c//t themself for no reason. She could using this as a coping method, she may be faking depression-but you shouldn’t bring her down because she wants attention.
Tbh, depression or not, she need help if she self-harming herself for attention. There an chance that she was probably emotionally neglected in her household therefore she goes out her way to get some attention by others peoples.
Guys, as a person with a sibling who's depressed.. it's true, she keeps the darkest amount of secrets and fake smiles all the time. It's really a serious mental illness :(
Its even more frustrating because I know someone sorta like this. They got upset because a friend left them and then they made their gacha oc commit suicide. LIKE WHAT.
I know this is supposed to be showing awareness but I don’t think people understand that this isn’t just her being an “attention seeker” this is her going way to far, to harm yourself just for attention is literally insane I recommend whoever knows tells an adult about her behavior and how she’s harming herself because theres clearly more mental issues going on with her than just wanting attention
As someone who actually has depression and attempted before, it's horrible to see someone using what we suffer from to get attention, i hope she learns her lesson and becomes a better person.
I remember last year i used to do that. I alwaus said "cuts keep appearing on my arms idk why" and i kept doing that until i stopped saying it because it wasnt funny for me anymore. Till this day anyone who asked me about why i lied i say "because i was some shitty attention seeker"
