I have been struggling with depression and anxiety for years now so my heart goes out to both of you. I know that saying "just hang in there, you will get through this" is easier said than done. But try to reach out to someone you trust and get therapy. It really helps having a trusted social network while battling this internal darkness.
This is wrote with the mind of Effect-law. Iv think if you watch to many videos about depression then might get it. Because we manifest everything in life, and if this is a constent reminder then it will create a short term memorie of the video, if we keep thinking that we have to avoid depression then there will be a bigger chance for us to fall again, basicly depression is like falling and its your job to get back up again so dont give up ! we all fall in life but iv dont think its healthy to be reminded about depression all the time its good to be aware about it and spread the awareness but why keep this up as a psychologycal channel it should have been knowed from your point of view already. Please listen and see if you can inspire and spread love not depression. Some people out here might feel effected by it. btw am talking about PsycTogo.
was somebody else raised in a family where nobody thinks seriously about mental health and they wouldn't even think you might be diagnosed with depression? 🙋🏼♂️
Yeah you're totally just lazy and you need to pull yourself up by the bootstraps and do a batch of laundry and be a functioning part of society. I once got a tissue box thrown at my face for crying lolol
Despite (or perhaps in spite of) my grandfather being a psychiatrist, my mother has never admitted to having depression or anxiety. Yet she will casually mention that she was so stressed at work that she felt like swerving off the highway. When I tell her I'm too stressed out to fill out the forms for a psychologist, she tells me to shave and get a haircut. I miss my grandfather.
I can identify with all of the aforesaid signs apart from the third one, as my spirits of interest in a few certain things in my life still have not become cold, and I do not expect them to ebb.
I find it interesting how despite the fact that we get depressed quite easily, we still have the ability to want to learn more about it. Like when you are feeling down and then you just want to learn why. Maybe it’s because humans are naturally curious about things they don’t know. It is a very interesting thing for me at least.

1. You can’t snap yourself out of it 2. You can’t cheer yourself up 3. You have lost interest in everything 4. You can’t function like you used to 5. Your laziness isn’t triggered by anything 6. Your laziness isn’t a choice 👍
You & me both. People are unreliable and untrustworthy these days. I isolate myself to stay away from people in general. They will break your & your trust. Better to die alone than be surrounded by fake people. I’m waiting for a terminal illness and I will not tell anyone until it’s too late. Serves them right for fucking me over.
I have been always called ungrateful, careless or lazy for my depression. At the age of 13 years and 9 months, when I was at the peak of my charisma, I happened to be a target of bullying in school for 3 years straight, which shaped my later life. Now, at 27, I realize how I have wasted much of my university and work years on the bed, tired, numb at times. Recently, I have started to raise the alarm to my loved ones and have pleaded their help. But, they stigmatize my condition as ungratefulness and strongly discourage seeing a professional. Need help, I am proud to be a bit aware of this.
A lot of people with undiagnosed neurodivergence are depressed and struggle with normal, everyday activities. Another overlooked source of depression is toxic people who act nice but push you down. Just one toxic person in your life can be enough to bring on depression.
@@seannjoo Just remember that people put on an act a lot. They pretend their jobs are more important than they are or that they have a great relationship when they don't.
your loved ones are more interested in "keeping up good looks" than having you get treatment, trying to avoid loss of face by you keeping your depression hidden. they dont care about you sadly. you should still seek professional help, you are worth saving.
I didn’t realize I was in this mode for the past couple of months luckily I’ve been fortunate to quit my job while caring for a family member and have some time to myself. I didn’t realize my depression was probably caused by burnout. After about 4 months some supplements and a couple of weeks hitting the gym I finally feel like I’m starting to have a much more hopeful outlook on my reality. Hope all of you out there can get there at some point too. However you get there as long as you do. Try and ignore family/friend’s comments about you being “negative” or “lazy” don’t beat yourself up in your own head over it. It’s an endless cycle.
For almost a year I had been suffering from a mix between derealization and depersonalization. Nothing felt real, and I felt like I was not in my body. Everybody around me were just objects that looked human, very trippy and horrible. Anyways, it gave me depression, and it only added to the hell. But I haven't had any episodes for a while now; depression needs to f* off and die
Crying while watching this video. I know I'm depressed and that nothing in life excites me any more. Even traveling or new experiences. I feel like I'm just living as a zombie, but most of all I need to pay my bills and live for my kids (who are in their 20s now, but still need a lot of help). World news is horrific. I've had endless "professional help" and tried so many medications, but there is no happiness pill. 2 brain surgeries to remove a benign brain tumor in 2015 only made things worse. I meditate and focus on abundance, but the contrast to other people's situations worldwide only makes me feel guilty for having food, water, and shelter. I don't know what the answer is to this dilemma, so I'm just waiting it out. I just needed to express this. 🙏
Hope all is well with you, let life taken you where it wants, and be a leaf to it, i know its not easy i really know its not, but live for memories in small things, some people have nothing compared to us and they live happily, if only we could swap positions the happiness in life we would have had but 90% less experiences due to the lack of advantages
Maybe you can make a video about this; How do you know that you are NOT depressed anymore? How do you know it's over? Because that's the motivation and encouragement that a lot of people are looking for. Because, what snapped me out my decades long depression was finally bringing back the pain, the guilt and sickness to the ones that caused it. Confrontations. What cheered me up was that I told them that if they ever cross my path again, I will start a full blown war on them as a revenge for the depressions they caused. What else cheered me up and helps me find the right mood and tears of joy, is music. What moved me in tears of awe is to see the full potential of my talents. Ever since I've finally snapped out of that depression, I'm not lazy anymore. And my home is a clean and well organised place. I eat better. I look healthy. All because I'm not lazy anymore. From there on, my laziness became a choice of free will. I've been depressed for years. But this goes for anyone: For the amount of tears you've shed in fear or sadness, you deserve at least ten times the amount in tears of joy and tears of awe.
this!!! i appreciate psych2go but most of their videos these days are "signs you have depression" or "anxiety" and i'm sure it helped some people, but what would help more people would be encouraging videos about how you know you're past that.
@@certifiedbruhmoment85despite Psych2go also helped me a lot in bad days. But now, it's getting overanalized and repetative. Hell is repetition, repetion, repetion of depression. It's keeping you in when you repeat it. Life is about getting out of it. About your soul, regaining control over your mind again. You have depression, it sucks. The struggle is real. From my perspective it sucks even more when it becomes reason for bad teeth, addictions, depts and homelessness. That's what depression causes. So topics about getting yourself out of a depression are more important than overanalyzing your emotions. You have to move on. Fighting your addictions works better when you're not depressed anymore. And seriously, music therapy IS REAL.
Here is an idea for a video. I have a hard time accepting help from others mainly due to thoughts like "I'm not deserving of help," "now I'll be obligated to owe them something," "I am a burden for them," and etc. Perhaps you guys could do a video on tips how to accept help and generosity from others. Thank you for the great content.
I completely agree with you. It's something I've struggled with for so long, and ultimately why I'm likely still suffering; because I don't seek help, not wanting to bother anyone with my feelings or problems. Because I'm weak, worthless, and should be a better person. I can't ever seem to convince myself that there's a reason for anyone to care I feel the way I do about my life.
@@brungrisatre5968 thank you for opening up to me about your stuggle with accepting help from others. I think I understand what you are going through as I am experiencing the same problem. I seem to have a similar thought process as you where I think that there is no reason for others to really care to help either. Also another prominent thought in my brain is that they have dark intentions that they are hiding. I know that what I am about to say is easier said than done, but we both have to challenge the thoughts that tell us that we are unworthy, weak, worthless, a failure, etc. It is hard to do but with some practice of mindfulness and exploration of self it will get easier with time. I think it would be wise for both of us to see if we can find the root of these thoughts and see what caused this deep wound to occur in the first place. It will require a lot of bravery and self awareness. Please treat yourself with kindness. You are an amazing and wonderful person. You don't deserve to suffer. There is so much suffering going on in this world please don't make yourself endure more pain. I am here if you wanna talk. May the Father of Understanding guide you, my friend. 😊
Been dealing with “Major Depressive Disorder” since I turned 13. I’m 39 now. My father suffers with “MDD” as well and my mother suffers with Bipolar disorder. There was a very long stretch of my life were I was trying to muscle my way through life. Or, in other words, I was relying on my own strength of will to combat the struggle with MDD. I could never keep a steady job, I lost interest in going out with friends, I stopped meeting up with family, and lost interest in any and all of my hobbies. I began to turn to addictive habits and fell into a very deep dark hole of isolation. Never in all my years did I feel so empty or alone. I refer to this time of my life as “The Abyss.” It was like I fell into a very deep trench in the ocean and all I could see, hear, and feel was darkness, penumbra, and numb. The very first thing that helped me get out of this nightmare was opening up to someone I trusted. Talking face to face with someone who I KNEW would be sensitive and understanding to what I was dealing with. For me, this was my wife. This one act made a HUGE difference. By sharing how I felt with my spouse I was effectively sharing the burden and that made carrying the burden much easier. The next thing I did was trust my family doctor. It was trial and error, but I was eventually able to take a medication that was right for me. There is a way out of the nightmare. There is hope. There are many many other people that feel and experience the same thing you do. You are NOT alone.
Depression can be treted by psychiatrist, but for me your videos are very very helpful to me realising myself, understanding my problems and treating myself with calm mind. Thanks Psych2Go.

ive not been professionally diagnosed with depression but i do think i may have it. i always tell myself im lazy, even though i know its probably more than that. i cant do stuff better than before. ive not been able to do work and hand it in on the deadline. that just makes it worse. my teachers noticed and talked to me about my mental state so it made me feel a bit better.
I am sooo greatfull for the work you do. Each and almost every video insures me that I needn't have believed in anything anyone has ever told me, about being lazy, lacking motivation etc. I have been suffering from depression all my life and no one ever picked up on it. Thank you. You know, I got addicted in my early teens and probably that's what saved me from something much worse. I've been in therapy for over a year now and on medication. Everything is manageable and I know I can live with my sicknesses. Thank you.

All my friends left me because they all said the same thing "get over it" and I had to cut ties with them. They don't understand what depression feels like.
One friend told me who has depression told me everyone has got to fight it, everyone depression is different mine was trauma in relationship. her’s was she wants a marriage and baby doesn’t think find a partner
Im always depressed but your video gives tons lf information and its really helpful thank you and your really a good creator keep going ! Hope you get popular one day hope when i come back you succeed!
It's nice to know it's not just me that feels like this, it means I don't have to beat myself up about feeling this way. It's a cycle I seem to go through of brief highs and prolonged lows. Even when you know why you feel the way you feel you can't "snap out of it" is a weird feeling, you just have to wait for it to pass. These days people use the term depression and depressed too much when in reality they're just a bit sad or down. They have devalued it and those that are truly suffering are not taken seriously.
So I‘m not lazy? Thank you! I like your videos, they always help me a lot in like understanding myself a bit more. Keep going, I‘m sure you also help others out there too ^~^
This is so well done-it explains depression so clearly (I think). I wish people in the lives of depressed ones could keep an open mind and watch and listen to this. Maybe it would help them understand. I find it so hurtful to be told the usual sayings, ‘Snap out of it,’ ‘Go far a walk, it will make you feel better’. We do not choose to have depression and having someone understand would be so nice.
i'm not really sure what to think now haha. it's reassuring that i now know im not lazy or ungrateful, i relate to all of these signs but i dont really know what to do about it. thanks for all the amazing vids
I will be honest, this entire video called me out. For seven years, I have been suffering and struggling with depression immensely. Alongside coexisting anxiety, ADHD, and being a heyoka empath, there are countless challenges to be overcome. Watching these videos not only reminds me it is okay to feel all these feelings, it also keeps the hope in my heart. For anyone struggling any scale of challenges, remember to not give up. It may seem impossible, just know that it is worth every ounce of strength it takes to reach the light at the end.
Hearing this reminds me of how i was typically called out for not being positive or not having motivation in anything. Again, environment has a massive effect on you.
I have had thoughts of giving up many times. But each time I say I refuse to go down without a fight. As a song I´ve been listening called better tomorrow goes. I´m gonna grab that light. These thoughts won´t take me over again. Gonna make it right I want to see that better tomorrow. Thank you Psych2Go
Life is suffering and pain, the sooner you realize that the sooner you accept your situation and move on with depression in your life and just find a way to cope.
Life has pain and suffering yes. But thats not all it is. Everybody, even the people without depression experience some measure of pain and suffering. Some people cannot just accept and move on, for reasons out of their control.
This describes my friend to well, he's gotten soo depressed this past year he's completely seized all contact with all of his friends including me. The last time he ever smiled was before the Pandemic & now we're all complete strangers to him.. He clearly need's help but doesn't want it, he doesn't think he deserves it or just has too much pride to ever accept it.. I wish he just got off his high horse & admit that he's only human just like the rest of us, i miss my best friend i miss brother from another mother.
@@Blue0000FF it’s not an insult he admitted to me directly that he’s depressed, I’m simply describing the events as they happened, I’ve tried to reach out to him for months, he kept on insisting that he doesn’t need anyone’s help with getting him through this but everyone knew he was lying, he just doesn’t want to admit that he needed help..
treatment failed to help me, family thinks I'm lazy and yet here I stand. working on myself one piece of the puzzle at a time, all I want in life is to feel like I'm a part of something and thanks to sim racing I feel welcomed. even if my head is still a hot mess I can continue to work on myself and that's what matters most to me, becoming the best me despite the people who told me i'll become nothing. great video as always. keep it coming, stay classy
My family thinks Im just lazy and say that I was spoiled growing up however, i still disagree, I dont talk my family about it because, beating a dead horse, they'll never understand, try or want to understand. Thx for the validation means more than i could imagine
Thank you so much!! I have been with it for one year by now, being in a few months i realised i was suffering from depression and my appetite went down so much. Few months back i thought it was no longer there, but i couldn't be more wrong. People see me and i seem normal to them but I know how it's eating me up and my studies have been affected so much which is what i fear. I wish this period had started after i was out of school, into a good Uni But i am absolutely grateful to see how supportive our community is!! Will try working on it slowly!! May we all be happy and healthy!! God bless
Yea school is very stressful and I have loads of unfinished math and other work and i’m about to break down in class and i’m talking to my class mates and they just say “your not stupid, your just lazy” and it really hurts me because i’m so tired and mentally drained I can’t finish or do anything and on top of that I don’t even know how to do it
My best friend and me both have MDD (Major Depressive Disorder). Watching this video is what I've tried explaining to her family about how herself isn't lazy. She's very headstrong and talented ontop of this. My way of depression is ignoring my feelings and keeping extremely busy, and hers is all of these above. Polar opposites. We may have the same diagnosis, but how someone deals with their depression differently isn't means to judge them otherwise. In fact it does the exact opposite as was stated. I hope she's doing better and her loved ones understand it isn't her fault. Nobody wants to feel this way on purpose.
I am 41 and have suffered with depression since my teens. For most of that time, I struggled to accept it and would try to find a way to "snap out of it". I hate that it stops me from doing the things I love. Only recently, and with the loving support of my partner have I learnt to let it be. When the clouds roll in, I no longer put pressure on myself to do things or see people. Instead, I withdraw, make myself comfortable, and sit it out until the storm has passed. You are a wonderful person. Your depression doesn't change that ❤
I know the feeling it's easier said than done if the people around you care as much as they say they do they'll help you if they just say say get over it then you don't need them in your life
As someone who has felt this way for the past few years, I have to say this hits the nail on what it's like. Ever since my mid teens I've been unmotivated to do anything with my life. At this point I'm afraid of doing anything. Since the pandemic I have become too comfortable with staying inside, never talking to anyone, and never really doing anything. I've only just now started college via online classes at the old age of 20 and already dropped a course because it was just too much for me to handle. While I think about how useless I am I wonder where it all went wrong and why am I like this? Like, what happened in my life that made me go from a punctual high level student to a broken mess of a person that rarely leaves the house and struggles to do basic things? I mentioned the pandemic, but I've been feeling like this before that happened. All it did was amplify those already existing feelings. I'm very lucky and privileged to have a mother that is willing to understand my pain, but honestly I only feel worse knowing how much of a burden I am on her. I just feel like I wasted the best years of my life being a sad, reclusive, incompetent, misanthrope and the fact that I will never get those years back makes me feel even worse, like this feeling will only get worse as I get older and am expected to take on more responsibilities that any sane person would be able to handle no problem, but not me. I'm in too deep. Too far gone. At this point I'm waiting for a car to hit me or get struck by lightning, because I don't think I'll be able to climb out of this hole I dug myself into without some miracle.
hey, the fact you decided to continue your study is already great enough. i'm more or less in the same condition as you, so i understand how rough it is. i hope these days treat you well. let's both do our best!
Have been depressed for so long that it is "normal" to me. Thank god I have an awesome son who, unbeknownst to him, is the reason I never ended my existence. I can't help but feel that I have a purpose on this planet, no idea what it may be but, I also feel like I serve no purpose. I am useless. I am a jack of all trades and master of only one. "Screwing up". I may be surrounded by loved ones, but feel absolutely alone. When I am alone at night, when everyone has gone to bed, I weep. When someone shows me affection, i weep. At times i have no emotions. None. I am literally dead inside. And at other times, nothing but a raw nerve of emotions. To the one person out there that relates to this, I am with you! I love you! I love you all!
I really have hard time snaping out of my lazy phase, not when my family doesn't acknowledge my brother mental problem (mysophobia). It's always the "You need to understand your brother more, he need time" or "You are the better person, you cannot be angry at him" or the "dont worry, just let him be, it will work out in the end". Mental problem doesn't only affect the victim, but to people around it. It manifested into the victim personality. For those people out there that struggle with the same thing, i can only wish your parent / relative / friend / someone close to you understand that mental health is important and can be very damaging if left untreated for their future. Just sharing, it's not really me having depression but mental problem can create stressing situation.
I'm glad for this video. Sometimes I have depression (not clinical) and I get through it because I know this information, because I'm a nurse. Sometimes we just feel like doing nothing at all. Because of The weight of the world, your feeling sorry for yourself, or things aren't going like you want, you feel like what's the use sometime. I'll just shut down but I know it will pass. I don't HAVE to do anything. I Don't feel guilty about it either. I just Do Nothing but lay in my cool comfortable bed with my covers up to my shoulders for the whole day. Sometimes you have to stay still and re-boot. It's ok. You're not lazy, just recharging. So, I really appreciate this video to let people know that you can feel like that at times. If it lasts for a long period though, by all means talk to your doctor. This world is mad...And some of the people in it are mad. It helps to disconnect and shut down for a minute.🌻
This video is a nice reminder that what I’ve gone through with depression isn’t my fault. I’ve been diagnosed with severe depression and have struggled the most with being motivated and feeling exhausted all the time for the last several years and a lot of people (including myself) have said it’s because I’m lazy, it’s always helpful to refresh my memory with this kind of stuff because it’s surprisingly easy to forget
once again everything in this vid is exactly my life out here....it just hurts you know? its gonna be 2 years since I've been in depression and no matter what I do nothing helps...I just put up and act in front of everyone and I've been doing it for a long time and somehow they fall for it but some like my mom and my big sister don't...I don't trust anyone and that they can keep my secrets to themselves so I know that one day I won't make it out alive in the void I'm locked in...I'll never be found
Depression is such a sucky thing to have. I'm only 12 and according to this channel I suffer from chronic depression. Something no kid this age should go through. It's been hard, but the more I learn about my struggles, the easier it will be to fix them. And trust me if my family had the kind of money to pay for therapy, I'd be walking through the therapists door. Please pray for me and my struggles.🙏
Eating anything with flour in sets me off and makes everything that is already depressing that much worse. Cane sugar also a big no. The sound of traffic also sets me off from where I exist to survive living. Standing to do something I don't have to stand doing is another one.
A lot of People with depression need a lot of support through out their whole life . They carry a very heavy weight of the illness and low self esteem . They need to know that someone has their back and will help them . Unfortunatly people just don’t care enough . And that’s the problem there.
Nailed me exactly. I know what I need to do in most every aspect of life, but I can't do it. I bing-watch things on my computer, I sleep, I overeat. I don't enjoy anything. Avolition is the watchword. I have a calendar. On days when I do things I circle the day. On days lost to depression, I put an X. I'm about 50% X's. Drugs don't help at all. Talk therapy doesn't seem to help at all either. I don't even want to hydrate at all.
Hey, at least I have something to do now. I started ready skulduggery pleasant on tuesday, I have started book 7 now. I would have finished book 7 today but i just couldnt do anything. But i guess this is an improvement.
I can’t be my original self. I used to be able to make people laugh so easily and now it feels like I can’t think clearly enough to make good jokes or even just talk to people normally. I don’t know what to do. Edit 8 months later: really should have gotten a therapist. Kinda screwed my self up in the long run. Those things I was worried about became a reality because of what I was telling myself. I’m not depressed anymore and my self esteem is a lot better but still I regret it.
Honestly, I've been spiralling as of late again. I never had actual help, the episodes came and went but the best way I can describe it - I always feel like I am running. I'm trying to balance my work and friends while sleeping 12hrs a day, dealing weith chronic pain and the feeling of emptiness, loneliness and everything not being worth my time anymore. I think that the only thing that makes me push forward everyday is the thought of disappointing my awesome friends. I know that I'll fall off a bike one day. That I might not get up. But I fear help from professionals. I feel like a discarded, broken toy. No one could have ever helped me, and they can make it so much worse. Why try? The worst part is that I would rather have the pain than feeling nothing. I am a creature of emotion, my brain always functioned on autopilot while I focused on my gut. I am feeling more numb every single day and it's what I fear the most. I've been there, I don't want to be there again. It's like stasis for me, like being a passanger in my own body at this point, when the rational part of me takes over. I'm so sorry for venting, I am pretty sure no one wants to read this but I need to go to sleep and it doesn't seem like writing in a diary helps anymore either.
I suggest viewers search Molemen Herbs on the RU-vid channel to learn their natural methods to heal and reverse different health conditions and ailments.
Yes yes yes. Being a musician/DJ and not enjoying music is a huge problem for me right now. Has been for the past 8 years or so. Can’t afford proper treatment. Such a roller coaster. I have such anxiety about self-promotion I just forever second guess everything I do

I would really love my parents to understand me They just treat me like I’m lazy, I don’t wanna go out, I don’t stop using my tablet and just do nothong of my days I wish they would just look at the obvious signs...:'(
Even if you have a good number of friends (or relatives) who REALLY care about you, this do not mean they would clearly understand your feelings. What happens in your head is mostly unknown for others (even for yourself many times), but that is just fine I think. Nobody can pretend others to be in your mind. But all of us can pretend to not be judged on sight, especially by people whose stand side by side with us. If some of your pals acts like this just be relaxed and explain your situation...with time (if they care) , they will understand and keep on give you support (without trying to "read" your mind). It's difficult until you reach adult age, but more mature people will understand. Just my personal experience
I want help, but I feel that nothing will ever work. . I've had therapy, psychiatrists, but nothing works for me. My anxiety, ADHD, asd, depression, jealousy issues, anger issues, Peter Pan syndrome (not wanting to grow up), attachment issues, verbally abusive dad, and ocd are just too powerful and they drain me completely. I have no motivation to do anything, even though I really want to. I feel like I've wasted my entire childhood, when I really just want to relive it again. My life is hard enough, and school just makes it worse. I feel like leaving, but I'm too scared to, because I want to live. I might start taking antidepressants because I can't talk about my feelings without bursting out in tears again. I can't even remember my childhood. Only little bits. And growing up, for me, is the hardest thing I've ever had to go through, and I'm still going through it. I'm going to be 13 next year, and I can't believe that I'll have a "teen" at the end of my age. It doesn't feel right for me. I was made to be a child, and I feel like if I grow up, I'll lose everything, including my parents. My dog is 17 and on the verge of death, and that isn't making anything better. I feel like my life is so boring but my mind refuses to let me do anything about it. If something good finally happens in my life, something bad will happen to ruin everything. It always does. Nothings new. I wake up, struggle to get out of bed, forget to brush my teeth because my mind can't stand to see me taking care of myself, go to school, cry in school, lock myself in the toilet, hide from everything and everyone, avoid questions and opportunities even though I want to take part in everything and have a busy life, I think that I'm going to do something productive when I go home, I go home sad, and forget about everything I wanted to do, I either eat a little bit, overeat, or eat nothing, half the time I don't even bath or shower, I watch TV or scroll through tiktok for hours, and I either sleep or don't sleep at all. It's all the same. Nothing ever happens. I can't go outside, because I'm scared that I'll get kidnapped, and I can't make friends because of my social anxiety. My life is just a boring loop. Somebody, please, tell me what I can do to fix myself, give me motivation, anything. Please. I can't live like this.
Heyo!! I hope you're doing fine I can relate to you lots!! You know, it's okay, it's completely fine to feel so. I am proud that you've actually been able to notice so much about yourself because that's the first step to getting better! Just my experience I am not completely out of it but you know start small, like really take baby steps literally!! It's life, not a run but a marathon where your speed is your choice. Please don't compare with others! Child, it's your precious life so live at your pace I guess you like playing with your dog and as you say it's 17 and I believe you both will be by each other for a long time, you can start spending time with him, maybe little more than usual As you do this, try to play with him in the company of your family members And you know if it's hard, then it's okay. And try finding one thing that you like to eat or drink and just give it to reward yourself for just showing up everyday You can also try finding something that makes you happy, okay so this is a bit hard like since we don't find anything interesting. But i found something and that is I like to smell good, ik it's funny, so i like to apply lotion to my hands and use some body spray, it brightens up my day a Lil bit 😂 so try finding something like that and please don't give up until you discover one And leaving you with the last thing, THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT, read this book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens Book by Sean Covey you can download this from the website icrrd.com Like just search on Google and you'll see the website Leaving you with all this, by age i would be your big Sis, in her late teens I know and have faith that you'll get better And I am hoping you would reply?😂
I am 46 and suffered just as you described and I cannot remember my childhood but I had some tragic things happen to me in childhood. I did go one to enjoy life and have fun in my 20’s -look forward to those years you don’t know it now but those will be the best years of your life . I watched my daughter who is now 18 go through depression-I wish I would have gotten her help but I thought like me she would grow out of it and it was hormones. It wasn’t until she was 16 I got her into a doctor and medication helped with therapy and she finally told me she didn’t see a future and didn’t want one after middle school through her junior year of HS so when she finally started feeling better and wanted to join the color guard in band she didn’t have the energy bc the medications were making her sick so we had to switch but she ended up not being able to do color guard physically but mentally she was better. She’s 18 now and she graduated HS and she’s going to college but she would tell you that you will be okay and get the help you need now so you can enjoy your HS years -that’s her biggest regret is that she missed out on so much in HS those first few years. She always wore hoodies covering her head and arms and got made fun of alot and she admitted she had some dark thoughts of self harm. Just know other kids can be cruel but pay no attention to them -it’s usually bc they are dealing with their own struggles usually something at home and taking it out by being a bully. Just know that they are no better than you or anyone else and still put their pants on one leg at a time. Don’t let anyone put you down bc their opinions mean nothing and later in life you will never see those peers again and if you do they will be adults and most of time don’t remember who they bullied but if they do I find that they feel remorse as adults. So don’t let anyone get to you!! Journaling is very therapeutic. I know it’s hard to put that pen to the paper but once you start doing it, it does help to get the thoughts out of your head and how you feel on a piece of paper and then hide your journal somewhere or just tear the paper up and throw it away, but it helps get those thoughts and feelings out of your head into the open, helping you feel better. There’s a site called talk space is would highly recommended that site bc you can connect with other people your own age going through the same things. Just know you’re normal and most teenagers go through this but you will be okay. Vitamin D is very important-sit outside in the sun for at least 30 minutes a day letting as much as your skin as possible to absorb the natural vitamin D. It takes a few weeks of this to feel any results. Also walking or running/jogging 20-30 minutes a day especially in the mornings even if it’s around the house inside or out in the yard or a treadmill if you have one -but what it does is produce natural serotonin, which is usually what’s lacking when we’re depressed. They’ve done scientific studies that do that is an equivalent totaking Prozac-it also takes a few weeks before you’ll see any results, but it will help I promise. Coloring it may sound silly, but that’s another good way to build your brain something about seeing all the different colors and then the outcome of the picture that you drew or you colored that you’ll feel like you will accomplish something and be proud of and also helps builds serotonin . Most of all know your not alone many of us adults have been where you are and it takes time but it passes especially if you can do so of the things I listed . Sometimes depression will come back but if you are able to find the skills now to overcome it then if treats it’s head again later in life you will know what it is when it starts to come on to be able to head it off before you find yourself in a slump again. I wish as a child I had known what I was going through and how to get out of it so that when I finally realized what it was as an adult I would have had better coping skills. Also, it’s OK to not want to grow up as a parent to five children two that have already went to college one that’s going into college and two more that are in high school. It’s normal to want to stay a child.. The good thing about that is you can still grow up in life, but hold on to that part of yourself that is a child. Right now are you still are a child and don’t rush to grow up!!! I’m not sure if you’re a Christian or not, but the Bible talks about having the heart as a child to be the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven. Matthew 18:3-5. It takes about staying humble as a child. Just know you’re not alone !!! And work on activities I listed to help pull yourself out and most of all once your feeling better keep yourself busy and your mind busy.
Finding bad news on the internet always make me feel depressed. A good example is famous people passing. It always made me sad. It's scares me and makes me anxious. It's making me lose hope. Ever since the pandemic I feel this way, and I think it's getting worse. I am trying my best to feel better, but I always feel heavy inside.
Can relate totally. You feel like you are just being lazy. You think if you just did something you’d feel better, so you force yourself to do something and you don’t feel any better, maybe even worse because you tried, but it didn’t work. But there’s still hope. It will pass.
I'm 64 and have suffered from chronic depression and anxiety at least since my teens, with several hospitalizations and suicide attempts, and about 40 years of therapy, a zoo of characters from A to Z. The worst of it: all of this I've had to hear from therapists, which is why I've pretty much given up on therapy anf therapists. Presently on a cocktail of medications for the past 20 years which keeps me go. When the time is right I'm cutting out of this damn life....
I definitely resonated with pretty much all of these... I have severe depression and my main problem is that it's easy enough to get medication but I just CANNOT make myself seek any other help such as therapy. I've literally only gone as far as inquiring about therapy but never really gone any farther than that. I WANT therapy honestly I do. But I just CAN'T make myself go. I DO realize how important it is to go and how detrimental it is to do so, I can't even work to support myself - I'm on welfare/income assistance and they have stated that they'd prefer me to work as well. I'm lucky they haven't forced me to find work yet. But yeah... I'm basically stuck in a bit of a toxic loop... And that's my story for my depressive laziness...
What to do when you don't feel like watching this kinda videos also ...... you're just lying on bed doing nothing.....your mind is telling you that wake up do this and that but you are stuck in a loop where you don't find anything interesting...
This is me. Depression is very hard. I’ve been wanting to do what I love but it’s been so hard to do so because I felt like it didn’t matter. I’ve been making mental illness “nothing” to me but it is something. Sometimes I wanna break down,scream and cry. It’s like a black hole I’ll never get out of it. But that is not the case. I’m willing to do better by being more productive and active now. It’s worth it 😊
I have tried everything and been hospitalized for depression. I’m still not any better. I live in my bedroom. I clicked on this video because I feel like there is no longer any hope!
psilocybin has really helped me out of depression,Alcoholism..The psilocybin cubenis has really made me a better person....healermanchris got the best products . Just look up the user name above 👆, the the best recommendation I can give you
its really good to seek treatment even if you do it alone. I've been depressed and sought treatment and it really gets better and you'll be more happier.
Everything in this video defines me. I am struggling with my career, family, and other things. I am aware of what needs to be done, but I am having trouble carrying it out. My sister is here i do share some of the things with her, yet i feel so heavy and i want to cry 24/7 but i refuse that i have depression.
What’s really frustrating for me is that some times I feel good and Im happy and other times I feel like the most useless person in the world and I want to hurt myself for it. I’m also a very pessimistic person. I don’t know what’s wrong with me (I’ve felt like this for over months)
Man it’d just be really nice to have some friends that would be genuinely there for me, it’d make my day if they showed up or even just brought me a piece of candy or something. Even after telling family members and friends, they just blow it off and say “sorry” and that’s the end of it.
Can i ask what does it mean when i was scared communicating to people online suddenly? I felt like i did wrong and just ignore all the messages i got for a few months.
Please don't beat yourself up. The online world isn't healthy anyway. Maybe it's your intuition saying you need a break. Anxiety/ Depression has skyrocketed since the intro of Social media etc. Taking a break from it all is not a bad thing. Just let those closest to you know this so they don't feel you re ignoring them. You may be surprised how understanding they are.🙂
