May is Mental Health Awareness Month. To raise awareness on various mental health issues like depression, we put together a video on signs that someone's depression might be getting worse. On top of this, we have a playlist educating on all topics related to depression here: ru-vid.com/group/PLD4cyJhQaFwUJVS9EhPoe69k17o7wk0-8 We hope that you can help spread this to the world to educate people more on the topics of depression. Perhaps, it will save a life without knowing because it encourages them to talk.
I'll admit, it's tough to deal with depression I try my best to stay positive, but it never works In that case, I just keep a fake smile on and call it a day. I've stopped self-harming at least but even so I fear it might creep back in
1. extreme loneliness 0:31 2.you're not sleeping 1:02 3. social withdrawal 1:42 4. feeling of guilt and worthlessness 2:24 5. you feel numb 2:55 6. your eating patterns have changed drastically 3:30
*I have not been diagnosed with depression but exhibit almost all the signs I can find, plus others in my life have told me I might have it That happened about 4 months ago and I started sh but now I'm 2 weeks and 3 days clean and I'm actually cleaning my room, brushing my teeth, not taking hours long showers, and not eating everything. It almost feels like I'm faking being better though because I still feel terrible.
The hardest part is when emotionally hurting yourself becomes your only comforting thing, just so you can feel again for a moment instead of being an empty shell.
@@hibabe2967 it doesn’t even give me a feeling. more just numb. i’m always told tho that’s it’s not healthy. but i mean i’ve made it this far so somethings working
Recently got betrayed by two of my best friends and have felt totally broken since then. Always dealt with depression but it's been so much worse since what happened. I definitely relate to not feeling like putting myself out there anymore because I feel like it's a waste of time to try getting close to people after what they did. But...I'm still here, so that's something.
Give it time, and don't let yourself down for what happened, not all the people are like your best friend, everyone is different, and if someone does something bad to you that doesn't mean you have to fall in sadness and depression, yes, it can hurt, but it's not forever, just take your time, rest well, eat well and go ahead, always remember to respect your body
Actually we same position right now , it's sad that i keep remember all the good times we spent, but instead she doesn't feel the same and betrayed me, i keep thinking what's wrong with me apologize to her but she avoiding me even if on social media I don't even hate her but keep sad that hope she comeback to me even if i know she wouldn't know😭
That's devastating. I'm not telling you that it'll soon be better, because pain is very unique for every person. But I can promise you, the future holds nice moments for you that are worth it. It's good that you're with us.
When you gradually fall into a funk it’s hard to notice these warning signs. I love that you guys are committed to showing awareness on these topics 🙏🏽
My mind just will not stop my past is always there. I'm Loosing myself more and more only time I am happy is when I'm with my grandchildren. Can't sleep feel I can't do anything right.
1:57 FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT! I'M NOT MAD! The cycles I've found in myself: Stress--->Depression/anxiety---> not functioning--->more stress--->IBS--->IBS stomaches affecting sleep quality--->more stress and the cycle continues Another cycle: stress--->Low Testosterone---> depression/anxiety--->more stress--->lower Testosterone---> more stress AND the cycle continues Yet another cycle: Having the previous cycles--->low serotonin cause of the high stress, meaning stress will have no counter and will consume you easily---> not having enough energy to lower your stress and increase serotonin by exercise or walking under the sun, or even doing simple things like personal hygiene making getting satisfaction from "accomplishing" tasks aka high serotonin doses harder to get, further increasing stress and lowering serotonin and Testosterone. AND YET another cycle: Stress makes you in a state of being emotionally numb, losing sense of reality and time, and neglecting yourself, so weeks, months and even years will go bye so quickly without them being felt by you, and without you improving your mental health during that time.... You're getting bored aren't ya? Your withdrawal from ppl makes getting oxytocin not easy cuz of lack of affection and "hugs", or Atleast you not being aware of those hugs and affection due to being stuck in your head. Yep you're getting fed up...: You don't get out of your comfort zone to try and get out of this stress viscous cycle(s) because anytime you do something out fk your comfort zone or routine you get stressed, but when you're chronically stressed your tolerance to stress is non-existent.... There's more bae Don't worry: Your feeling of worthlessness and constant guilt makes you always stressed, feeding every other symptom I mentioned above. Come it's still not over: If you binge eat cuz of stress/depression/anxiety, you're more likely to get attracted to sweaty and carbohydrates dense foods in a desperate attempt from your subconscious to get easy and high dose of dopamine to try to feel better, which it does for a short period of time then makes you feel like shit afterwards, because carbohydrates increase stress due to increasing blood sugar which needs insulin to regulate it, producing more stress. Well you feel attracted to dopamine frying activites like porn, social media, Unhealthy and prolonged video game sessions? Guess what, frying your dopamine receptors will make you less sensitive to dopamine and thus not having enough motivation or energy to do normal things since they won't give you enough dopamine, which leads to overindulging in the things I mentioned above even more to get the dopamine from, frying your dopamine receptors even more, to the point of not finding those same dopamine frying activites worth it anymore since they don't give enough dopamine as well, so you end up doing nothing and just oversleeping And oh, forgot to say that stress will make you always in fight or flight mode, which will mess up your interactions with ppl making you even more stressed, making you mess up even more, and this is, ladies and gentlemen, ANOTHER cycle. Finally, IBS from stress will make serotonin production much lower, an guess what, 90% of serotonin is produced from gut bacteria, so in conclusion: Stress is like a parasite, doing everything it can to prevent you from getting rid of it and and to get more controller over you.... And yea, I've been like that since forever, so "not finding things enjoyable anymore" isn't relatable since it's always been like that.
@@businessisboomin7252 I hope I can I told my mom that I needed a therpisest so I can tell them my issue and hopefuly it would get better I need help have a great day
To everyone who's reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the darks thought, the over thinking, the doubt exist your mind right now. May clarity replace confusion. May peace and calmness fill your life
Another thing is you might feel like ur just drifting in life. Like its a lazy river and ur just floating there letting it push you along. Thats how it feels for me right now
I've been getting so much worse in the last few months. Not only has it been a personal cycle, but i've noticed most people don't want to deal with someone doing very poorly, and end up distancing or completely breaking contact. This then creates another loop where the loneliness eventually pushes away all the other people and makes me even more lonely. I just wish people generally understood better, rather than just tried to sweep all issues under the rug
Thank you guys. You actually got me through a rough patch where I was thinking of ending it all. I have you to thank for being able to type this comment today.
"To anyone suffering from depression I want to let you know that you're not alone." Edit: I'm so sorry for this statement, I made it along time ago and have been learning about mental health lately.😅 I hope no one felt offended by this. My new statement is, "If your dealing mental health, please reach out for help".
My depression has been declining so badly over the past 3 years. Treatment and therapy have always barely helped, but now it doesnt help at all. I wildly swing between being so lonely and down that I get so sad that I'm hysterical and feeling completely void of any emotion. Covid destroyed my ability to have a social life and depression destroyed my capabilities to work and provide for myself. I am still living at my mom's home at 20, almost 21. I have a sick sister (with functional neurological disorder) of 27 who also is living with us and incapable of providing help and often needs more tending to than we can give and/or afford. I'm gaining weight so much that I dont fit into what is easily 90% of my wardrobe, and what little I can fit into is so tight it cuts into me. But I cant put her through the expenses of having to buy fitting clothes for me constantly so in all honesty I've been seriously debating starving myself to stop that expense and the waste of food from happening even though I know it will only make things worse. Dieting works for like a month then I gain everything back and more to an extent that dieting is the worst thing I could do. So that leaves me feeling like others might be financially better off if I just offed myself, and given the burden I am to my mother being a high school dropout that cant actually fucking do anything with their life, I might be doing her a favor with that. But man, i am such a coward and i hate the idea of making her fight so hard for me to get better for all of these years just for it to be thrown away. So i dont off myself. I keep going through hating myself, hating life, barely surviving in hopes that I'm not doing the wrong thing. I just dont know what to do.
Reach out for help. Other family, friends, anyone in your life that you trust. People are more willing to help, than it may seem because those of us with depression are surprisingly good at masking it.
I used to be optimistic and have a positive outlook on life. I even had really good goals and dreams especially when I was young. Most of my life I was generally happy and never would consider myself to have depression but over the passed few years something changed, I can relate to all of these signs. I think it all stems from never having a deep connection with anyone ever and some social and relationship setbacks along the way. I feel like I might be able to get out of it, if some things in life go right but the pattern continues.
Hey smoothie, I know this was a few days ago. But I wanted to say, I feel you. It's so hard especially when things happen socially amd especially with relationships. But you're not alone ok? It'll all work out for you one day. Stay strong because as long as you draw breath amd can put one foot in front of the other, there's always hope
I have depression and can relate to all of this except for the part about feeling like having friends is impossible. I have one friend because it's already too late to refuse their friendship because we've been friends our whole lives. I just feel like I can't/shouldn't make new friends because I feel like I will end up hurting anyone I get close to.
Oh my friend.... It could be a message I wrote, personally. Gemini ♊ here, too (INFJ). I feel extremely alone even if I have a trustworthy friend. I feel alone, worthless, etc. Lately I eat a lot, too much. I can't control it, I know I'm hurting myself but I can't stop. A big hug for you.
@@geminizodiac8776 I can relate to your story I have a friend who cares about me and I feel like I am not good eough and that I feel that no one would be my friend or care about it is really bad have a great day
@@Psych2go thank you... I'm going through the motions and I've lowered my expectations on myself... Although I'm still anxious, I'm not as concerned about the outcome and this helps
my depression has been really bad lately due to relationships and i’m just tired of everything and i’m always worrying about my flaws and always give myself negative thoughts like i can’t do anything. this video helps me at least feel like i’m not alone thank you
Depression struck me with a hard blow when I realized that I was subjected by life to undergo the miserable fate of having strictly limited opportunities, which is a cause of my intellectual disability. Since capitulating to the disability would still bear no results whatsoever, I therefore believe that the best decision for me would be to just quit (╯︵╰,)
Samee and my so called "friends"have been pointing out my flaws and making fun of them .and i can't do anything but laugh with them ,but when i get home that's when i fall aparttttt.'Reflection stares right into you'
this video just confirmed my worries, i have all this symptoms. I feel like I’ll never get rid of my depression and it saddens me so much. but i don’t want to give up yet, I really want to feel better !
Please note these videos have a disclaimer that they are not a substitute for qualified professional help. It may be unwise to use them for any sort of self-diagnosis.
@@soslothful yeah I know. I was actually diagnosed with severe depression by professionals, so I’m not self-diagnosing don’t worry. I’m just worried about my mental health worsening, I‘ll talk to my psychologist and psychiatrist about this
None of these but insomnia! I have suffered from acute insomnia for the past 8 months and it is literally exhausting! I hope one day all of this is gonna be over! 🍀🕊
Sorry for hearing what you're going thru, but well i recommend you to do physical activity during the day at least by walking, and go to sleep when the night starts coming and raise up before the sun comes out. I know everything sounds hard but nothing good comes without a sacrifice. I really hope you fix your problems and God bless you and your family 💗.
@@danyandino263 Awww, this is so freakin sweet! Thank you so much. Aaa, Kindness. What a simple way to tell another struggling soul that there is love to be found in this world! I truly appreciate your sweet words. Peace 🍀🕊♥️
no worries, i love to see people happy and you're not an exception. Just keep going ok, i know that the world can be cruel to you but always see the world like you used to when you was a child, and everything it's going to be better believe me and I'm encouraging you to do the same for others that are in need. You're such a sweet woman, don't let the world earase you'r beautiful smile instead draw smiles, remember there's always somebody that wish you the best. God be with you 🌹🙏🏼.
I have a huge exam to take tomorrow and I have been full of self doubt about it. I literally wanted to cry because I didn’t think I was going to pass. I am always ready to throw a fit for no reason sometimes and am ready to to just pound at something. But I know this is all in my head. I always tell myself that “I am not good enough.” That I’m not as “smart as my sister”. That I “won’t pass my test.” That I am a “failure” and that “ I’ll never make it.”
I just wonder why i thought it was getting better because just after that,back to the finish line,and everything's just going downhill again. Every sign here mentioned corresponds,and i'm aware. It's still a bit painful to accept tho:'( I just hope I'll find my way out of this. Have a nice day/night. -bc
0:33 1. Extreme Loneliness 1:02 2. You’re not sleeping 1:42 3. Social Withdrawal 2:22 4. Feelings of guilt and worthlessness 2:57 5. You feel numb 3:31 6. Your eating patterns have changed drastically
@@Psych2gohey sorry if my english are bad but because of thinking a video that tramautized me and think about it everyday and because of that i cry all day. is that considered as deppresion?but i cannot relate all of this things in the video
Anyone else 6 for 6 lol. I am amazed at how much one can take over the last 2 and a half years. Its not depression, it just the realization that this doesnt end well for me AND that i deserve it.....really mind blowing
It's really hard to behave happy when your friends are around but when you're all alone than the feeling just couldn't change and you just broke down and cry
I don't feel well most of the time, having constant headaches, heartaches and stomach aches and not that long into therapy my mom ruined it for me after saying that I like to exxagerate things, which isn't really the right term since it falls more for "overthinking" and it only applies to health ad I'm focused on it, yet I stopped taking pills cuz they don't do much anymore and I just started to cause myself pain and one of ways is this, plus it's a safety measure against my suicidal attempts (overdosing). I take all words for granted though as I don't have a strong sense of self so after she told it to therapist and they both agreed that I'm fine I started to blame myself even more saying that I'm pathetic excuse for a living and a pathological liar (who I hate), so I tried stabbing myself yesterday. I'm not sure about my next steps but I just wanna "punish" myself for all this, seeing as no one understands yet again There's a lot I could talk about but it's pointless now as therapist won't really trust me so I'll just call it quits
I can relate to your story and I am so sorry that you have to go thru all of that and I want to punish myself but I heard a quote from someone that goes like this"there will always be someone that cares about you and wants u to be happy now you may have not met that person yet if you wait that person will show up"I hope I can help you have a great day
I don't know you, but I will like you to tend my hand to you and give you some strength. You're not alone. I know it's very hard to be disappointed by those close to you, when those people invalidated your feelings, but simply don't mind. Believe me, your life is more precious than their hate for you; so keep going. I know it's hard, but you're worth it. You're here for a reason 😁
I always cry while watching these videos because it makes my life obvious and it’s just heartbreaking how I’ve been neglected overall in my life. Even if I wanted to, I would never be able to recover. I often consider giving up, but I know my next life will be even worse 😔
Although I have severe depression,and as a result I don't engage in any activities in my university and my grades have become lower recently, there is an envious girl who still jealous of me even aftee I lost everything due depression, she hurts me and trying to compete me in everything.. Congratulations girl.. You are winnig cuz I don't eveny have the energy to compete you, She tries to minimize my chances and makes people hate me.. This increases my depression.. I really can't cope anymore..
My name’s Angel and I’ve been dealing with depression for the past year. After finishing this video I can definitely check off almost everything on my depression worsening. Just don’t really see it getting better and the urge to die is growing stronger every day. It’s a constant battle every day just to feel the slightest bit of hope but it always ends the same. At this point I’ve just become numb to it and don’t really think I’ll get better, to those who chose to read this I hope you’re able to live your lives to the fullest and god bless you. ❤️
When you're in a depressed state, listening to music helps your mind dilute the pain temporarily. I like rainy jazz or something kinda sad. Hang in there.
This amongst other videos you create are accurate, and I have major depression, and it is getting worse. I've had it for almost a decade, and can't afford professional treatment. I finally got medicaid and hoping that will give me some options for professional care, before it's too late.
I have Medicaid as well, actually, and I just got a therapist completely paid for by it, so it IS possible. So far, I’ve had no issues with mine; she is AMAZING at her job. As of right now, I myself don’t have depression, but it does help to have someone to talk to outside of family, regardless of whether I’m actually feeling bad or not. And I’m sure it will help you just as much, so don’t worry: hope is on the horizon!
I showed every one of these signs 23 years ago. I had no idea what was going on with me. So, I just worked all the harder, pouring myself into my career with the hopes it would make me feel better about myself. I assumed this is the way life is because, who ever teaches you what a good life could be like? I ended up quitting my job, ending my exec career, because I was so exhausted, no interest in my job, and could barely get myself out of the house. I was fortunate, I was able to take a year off, I called it my sabbatical, and I got some really good counseling and spiritual direction. Looking back, I can't believe how bad I was and that no one seemed to notice. Later, some close friends told me they thought that's just my 'personality'. Thank you for this education that's so important to share so we can notice the signs in ourselves and in those we love.
I genuinely got teary eyed while watching this, I can relate to every single thing you mentioned in this video. I don’t know how to get through this and I’ve been searching for answers for months, I don’t really know what to say I’m sorry
Tried the last one, tried reaching out to people, but they always push you away or try to use you and some use your mental health to bully you, someone did this to me and it gave me literal trauma, i tried contacting people who are going through similar problems and they didn't bother to talk to me again, even tried making friends but they "politely' rejected me after finding out how broken I am. Now my anxiety and depression has worsened and my family is the worst, typical mental health stigma and what not at this point I'm gonna commit lifen't 🤬
Prolly gonna sound like a bot here but whatever, I’m genuinely ver thankful for this channel, its videos are great are raising awareness and make me and probably a lot of others feel better knowing their not alone. But this channel has helped me out of some hard times and i thank them for that.
I have been emotionally abused for a lot of time for a while, which led to a spiraling depression, and recently as the school year comes to a close, i feel much more distant from my friends, especially since one of them is acting strange and seems upset, but when i try to help they claim that i wouldn't understand. They don't ever hang out with me anymore, and I fear I may lose all of them entirely. I watched this and now I feel a bit better understood about the situation. I am trying to find mental help as soon as I can, thank you so much Psych2Go! Also, I didn't know May was Mental Health Awareness Month, that's really cool.
6 signs in the video 1. Extreme loneliness 2. You’re not sleeping 3. Social withdrawal 4. Feelings of guilt and worthlessness 5. You feel numb 6. Your eating patterns have changed drastically
Feeling of worthlessness really hits home. Discarded, ignored, Stolen from, Lied to, Manipulated, Broken esteem, Can't stand the man in the mirror, Guilt, shame, the deep loneliness. People are around you but I always ask are you really there? If so how long? It feels like my value is so low that somehow everyone knows it and is quickly left in the back. It's even harder when it's yourself abusing you. I have always given love but it's never returned. There are so many days that I wish I could stay in a hot shower as long as I want to numb myself from the world. Left alone in my thoughts and the sound of water rushing.
Yeahhh I’ve recently decided I don’t need another soul because all that happens is that I care for them with all my heart and soul and all they do in the end is say that they hate me so now I do nothing but tell myself “don’t get attached” cause you can’t take anything away from someone who has nothing to lose
All of this signs is accurate with me. Especially the fact that I don't find any interest in activities or hobbies that I used to love. I feel worthless. I feel like I have no talent and unmotivated. If ppl asked me about my hobbies, I usually avoid that question cs I don't wanna be seen as a person whose just goofing around. I also overeating sweet food and junk foods. Before I go to bed, especially last night, I cried so hard cs I feel bored and lonely. These are happening to me about a year ago, and still go on until now. How am I supposed to do? I have no money to go to the psychiatry either :)
Search more and more data about it over the net but make sure its from sone trust worthy source only but still visiting physiatrist is best maybe ask money from ur parents or ur siblings or some really close friends and then return them later by the way by ur name and pic it looks as if ur an Indian and if its true then I can relate as majority of parent here just don't agree that somehow like this exist and their solution for every problem is like wake up 5 in the morning maybe follow some insta page that provide mental health related tips as there u will find others too having same problem so u wont feel lonely as if ur the alone having it which is pretty common hope you will improve as early as possible and good luck for your future life remember this there are others too we all will make it out together stay strong bye bye 👋 :)
if you clicked on this video because you’re worried about the path your mental health is heading, PLEASE PLEASE do something about it before you reach a state of apathy. i’m now caught in the most vicious cycle my mental health has ever been in because i can’t muster an ounce of motivation or care to make any of the changes i know i need to make in order to start finding myself again. and i wouldn’t wish this on anyone 💔
I don't really know if I'm depressed or if I have anxiety. But lately this summer, I've been worried over so many things and I don't really talk to my family as much. I really appreciate this video. 🙏
I've been dealing with depression for the past 2 years and it's been the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with. The emptiness I feel on a daily basis is exhausting, and I can never do anything. I cut off my friends and isolate myself from my supportive and loving parents and it feels horrible. I am always tired, deal with suicidal thoughts, barely eat, and self harm when things are at a breaking point. I just want to be gone. I'm the passenger in depression's flight, watching it carry me through to my demise.
For years I had convinced myself that I would never meet anyone that I could fall in love with. Nearly 4 years ago I met my boyfriend. Nearly a year and a half ago he passed away. He was an alcoholic, he had pre-existing medical conditions, and he caught covid. While I can't be blamed for any of these causes, I blame myself for all of them. I helped enable his addiction. I helped to kill him. I'm learning how to cope with this pain. I'm learning how to admit my shame to the world. I've yet to let anyone near me, I don't know that I ever will ever again.
I understand that he was someone who helped you get out of your depression, and it's even worse when you feel you are responsible for what happened to him. I know you've been something no one wishes to go through and I hope that one day your story is one that inspires others. You are not responsible for someone else. They always have the choice to choose what they do.
my grandfather passed away 4 days ago and I've been feeling like I'm dying too since then, I can't focus on my studies, I can't sleep and I cry every 3 hours, I feel so guilty for not being enough with him due to him living in another country and even though we called everyday, I wish I was there physically, I just want him here to hug me and play his guitars like he always used to, or to tell his stories that he used to bring out of the blue... i really miss him, and I feel like I'm not making him proud because I can't move on or that I'm making the people around me miserable too, I've never gone through pain like this and I don't know how to get out.
This is a good list. For my part, I never get lonely, since I prefer solitude, but I hang out with my friend and his family some weekends. I eat enough without pigging out, I more or less get enough sleep, and I exercise outside of work a couple of times a week (though I have a pretty physical job as well). I still have feelings of shame, anger, or embarrassment about some things in the past, but no feelings of guilt or worthlessness. After having depression for most of my life (at least 30 years - I'll be 43 next month), I can say that I'm a work in progress. I still have times where I don't feel like doing anything at all, and I still generally feel like life is pointless, but overall, I'd say I'm doing OK.
*FRIENDLY REMINDER* | Life is short, so make the most of it. Love is rare, grab on to it when you can. Anger is bad, get rid of it when you can. Fear is awful, face up to it and deal with it. Memories are sweet, cherish them as they come and go.
Yea.. yea.. I can relate to these things, I am still struggling with depression even if its been over 7 years since it started. Though I can say some of the point I relate to have gotten better for me. But There are still some of these points that sticks out and I am still very much struggling with. And Yes.. it mentally cuts me down, breaking any kind of Support pillar I may have left in my life. I don't know what to do about some of the problems and may never know. But I do know I am not in as bad position as I was a couple of years ago.
Oh no… I do not want to fight that long, I am already exhausted. First I was fighting with DID, I won luckily. Now anxiety and depression. Sometimes I think, is there no end to this?
@@user-do1dc3qf3c honestly.. in my opinion on Depression. No, There is no end.. You just learn to live with having it in the back of your mind, like you never really get over depression, You can just push it back and ignore it. That doesn't mean its gone, just that you learn to live with it and don't get bothered by it. At least that how I see depression after still dealing with it over 7 years. Now.. this doesn't mean you should ever Give up, Giving up is Always the worst thing you can do when it comes to depression, Cause in the end you just hurt more people then you help. So never give up, and keep trying to find things that keeps you standing or keep you moving forward.
I admit that I just am so very weary and tired of feeling defeated. Unbearable getting through my sad days, all I do is sleep and then feel guilty disappointed in myself. Definitely feel that something is terribly wrong with me. I do have so much around me such as a supportive family a few true caring friends. I still feel alone and miserable. No matter what I attempt to do, it’s not working. Lately I don’t even want to wake up…
I had all of those stages of deppression. Even if i don't notice it because it seems well "normal". But then when i started socializing more i kinda got over it. But not fully. Im still working on it. But I'll get over it soon. Also thank you for being apart of my life❤❤❤(love your vids)
I've been depressed because no one comes to me for emotional support. Sometimes, I just want to be someone more. Someone that people can actually look up to. I help but I'm talking about personal problems. Even, when someone tries to make me feel better but I sometimes wish I was the helper for help.
I’ve been experiencing all of these for over a year now. I feel alone, but I want it that way. I’ve been enough of a burden to my friends and family. I decline all of my invites to do things. Not because of them, but because I struggle to find a reason to get out of bed let alone go and socialize. My sleep is crazy. I’ll go one month only sleeping once every 2 days, and that’s only a series of 1 hour naps due to nightmares every time. Then the next month i’ll sleep for 12+ hours a day. I barely eat anymore. I used to love food so much. I also haven’t genuinely smiled in a year either. It’s all been fake. It’s gotten to the point that i’m so numb to it all I can’t cry anymore. At most I can muster a couple tears, no matter how much I just wanna cry my heart out. I don’t know why i’m still trying with professional help. I want everything to be over already. I don’t know why I pour this out in a youtube comment section. Just to scream into the void I guess. Whatever.
You know this is something many people have mentioned before but it's insane what type of timing you guys have A friend of mine and myself have been going through horrendous depression lately and we're trying to do our best to get better But the realisation that the depression only got worse stings deeply Thank you for this video Psych2go
I havent considered the thought of being depressed because it kept coming and going. It got to a point where i couldn't leave my room for days, now i cant stop watching these videos. And relating to every single point made me realize i need to reach out. You guys really are gonna make my life
This video has described me to a T. This really sucks I feel so useless now and I’ve been swallowed by extreme guilt. I have friends but I didn’t want to feel like I was bringing them down so I separated to focus on myself but it isn’t working but now I’m to scared to try to go back to them. I have tried but I get all these negative thoughts about “what if they don’t look at me as a friend anymore” or “what if they don’t find me good enough anymore” I know it’s all in my head and they would never think like that but those thoughts to me seem so real
I think the part about loneliness and isolation isn't true for everyone with severe depression. I have major depression with other disorders but I prefer being alone, I'm not that keen on socializing, apart from a few gigs here and there. Being around people is stressful af and sometimes makes my depression worse.
Same here. Sometimes being around people, gets to overwhelming & I need to isolate/be alone to Recharge & do what I can do be "Me" again. But hey, we'll get through this. Hope all is well!
@@Gothidote Exactly! Like if I go to a gig, I do have fun but the overwhelming stimuli of other people can feel too much. So, I need a day or so to recharge from it. I love music and seeing live bands and don't mind my "regeneration period" but it can be slightly annoying and inconvenient. When it comes down to it, someone are extrovert, introvert or Inbetween, we are all so unique and we have different perspectives on alot of aspects of life.
@@RaineSophiaLewis Absolutely, I Agree 100%. I Need The Same Type Of Thing Too. But Everyone Is Different & Has Their Own Unique Thing Going On, Like You Said. But As Long As We Take Tine To Recharge & Give Ourselves Time To Ease, We'll Be Alright. But At The End, We'll Be Fine. Just Gotta Surround Ourselves With Good Friends & Family. But Again, I Understand You
Psych2Go , im happy your here on RU-vid, your the one channel I absolutely love, and I enjoy the fact you try to make the community a better place. You even show proof of things. Thank you.
I've had depression ever since I went back to school and I think it's getting worst bc I know I'm trying my hardest and I know I'm already failing my mom by not going to school but I'm trying.. I'm already loosing sleep, and every day I just feel numb and cold but I'm trying to my way through it. I don't really eat much an did know I have to eat more but I'm not.
I’m proud of you that you’re trying to face it and everything is gonna be okay in the end❤️ Just be nice to yourself, just love yourself. There is no need to rush. It’s just time to rest. I feel you since actually I had an experience like yours when I was in middle school.
Recently, I feel and know my depression has gotten worse. My two best friends have ghosted me and I can only watch from afar as they live happier lives while I continue to drown. Maybe I talked too much, been too depressing, not good enough, weird or different. (I was basically the therapist of the group) Ever since that, I’m completely on my own now, despite my family being here. I’ve felt numb, worthless and felt no worth of value since then…my internet friends have given their own effort to tell me otherwise. Which I appreciate and I trust them. I usually find happiness and express my emotions through art, I am an artist and drawing is my passion. Since last year, I had to quit my job because of my arms and their unknown condition/s - I cannot even function with them how I used to. I haven’t slept properly in years yet I try to sleep anyways to get away from reality, I’ve lost so much weight now, I have no one to talk to face-to-face & I’m just so tired. I feel that my independence and freedom of expression is taken away from me…my one thing that I have going good for me and that’s been with me since I was born is unavailable. I am so isolated, I’m in pain everyday, my mind is blank, I can’t find myself to be happy anymore or even feel a smidge of optimism. I used to bounce back but now I feel this is it. This is the one thing that breaks me, no, that has broken me. I’m not suicidal but I’ve been having suicidal thoughts of late; intrusive thoughts don’t really help it either. I’m 3 months sh clean and it’s been so hard to maintain it. Thank you for this video and I hope everyone is taking care of themselves. Please know you aren’t alone in this and if you need someone to talk to, I’m here. Be gentle to yourself and I love you. 💜
wow.. its a weird feeling when that spotlight gets turned on and you realize an entire video is about what you are going through. I've been just going through the motions of getting up, eating, going to work that i dont think i ever looked at this kinda stuff before. Extreme loneliness is my daily life, hell even when im quietly just in the background at work with like ten other people there i still feel alone, at all times its nearly soul crushing to feel it, then when i come home i know i need to sleep but then i just lay in bed, watching stuff, until eventually i pass out because im so exhausted, when i see my friends on discord because i dont have any real life friends i just sometimes tell myself that id just bring down the mood, or that im happy to see them living like that, doing both the guilt and worthlessness at the same time and even the social withdrawal, some days i go to play something thats been on my mind to play on my computer to escape from the world and enjoy fantasy but i just stop and watch something instead because its numb to me, then sometimes i rarely eat and other times im ravenous because i havent been eating that im incredibly hungry TLDR: this video helped me realize my depression needs help, i think im gonna try seeking it now as soon as i can afford it
Thank you! I wasn’t so sure if I actually have depression and I thought I was just overreacting. But I’m dealing with all of these symptoms. Sleep has been getting harder and harder. Now I just ask my dad to sleep in my room on the floor because I’m going through a "phase" of anxiety. Could you maybe give tips on how I can sleep better, earlier, and safer at night?
Sorry for hearing what you're going thru on such a young age. I'm not a doctor or nothing like that, but I'm a guy that went thru the same problems that you're dealing with at the moment, what i recommend you it's to wake up early in the morning, do physical activity during the day ( specially cardio) because it's going to make you feel exhausted at night and try your best to go to sleep early, i know that it's hard to sleep early when you have anime and videogames , 😂 that was really hard for me to deal with, but nothing good comes without a sacrifice and i really recommend taking a cold shower every day, it's going to help you to get out of your comfort zone, that means that you gonna workout more often and you're gonna be more confident about yourself. Good luck on everything you do, God be with you 💗.
Sorry about this.. I understand the frustration since sleep is such a crucial part of your wellbeing... Maybe have your dad move his bed over for now if that helps mitigate your anxiety, and then once you are at a better state, try to sleep in separate rooms again?
I got to say going to the gym on a daily basis has helped me with sleeping, not feeling worthless, not feeling numb and change of habits of eating but for the better. When it comes to feeling lonely and social withdrawal it hasnt but its not like I need people to survive anyway. As long as the first 4 I mentioned are taken care of, the rest I can make do without.
everyday it feels like it's getting worse especially because my favorite show is literally about to end Saturday it was the only thing that really made me feel like I had a reason to keep going and now I don't know what the heck I'm gonna do with myself
I'm sad to say but no. I did not found this video helpful. For past a decade I constantly was fighting a battle with myself to just try to help myself. I've been in multiple psychotherapist and none of them does know what is going on with me and they don't know what to say at the end. For the whole life I was just having life in my head, having some sorta second world inside that I was mostly into it then my real life. I have a creatures that I can speak to in this world and them were my only friends to this day. I don't know what am I doing for the longest time. I'm socially awkward, people don't like me, I'm sometimes to honest, never had a real friend, sometimes I see things and family stop bother after I step outside of mental hospital I think. I'm sorry to say but I don't find any of those videos helpful, only getting information that I know and that I legitimately can't help or even if I try, I will failed at it. Try make friends? I'm socially awkward. I never had friends and my second world that I'm in in my mind, feels much better and I find myself there more, then I find it in real world. My mind's world is legitimately better and how people were rude and bullying me for no reason in my life, I started to see how much people hates me for no reason and following that path, why should someone love me? Try to do something? What? Something about my passion to photography for example? Or drawing or maybe i don't know? Doing some good steps count everyday? All those things I do, never had any fulfillment that was going with them. No one ever bothered about my drawings, my milestones, my photography. I know, you should do your passion for you, for yourself I ment but why do bother when there is no point ? No one wondering about your art? No one to say "that was good one!" Or something? No one to see? How suppose to know if my art had the same feeling as I originally was aiming for? Is it good? Or is it even waking some emotions, bad or good ones? Seek help? I had more then 10+ therapist in my life that didn't done anything or said anything helpful, they never said what is really going on with me and always push my parents to pay more and order pills. What? Should I seek help like for rest of my life to get nothing and always be low on money because of that? I'm sorry for being too negative if it comes out like one but, I am sad man who never was loved and sometimes I'm questioning if I was loved by family at least, never bad friends, relationship, only my pills that therapist said that I need to take and my imaginary friends. Why I'm even writing this? No one cares. This comment will be lost in time and nobody will care like for my art and life.
i don't know why i keep rewatching these videos. I know something is wrong with me, but I keep agreeing and move on like nothing. Like I expect everyone to understand what I'm feeling and are preparing how to deal with it.
I've been thinking about going back on antidepressants... I have almost zero desire to eat despite being hungry most of the time. I crave sugar a lot, but I have ADHD and it might be that. With meals, if I have to prepare it, it's hard for me to go thru with it. Also, 2/3 of the time everything in the house sounds unappetizing. I get upset faster and it's harder to get un-upset. It takes me anywhere from 2-6 hours to get out of bed. Lately it's been around 4-5 hours. I really want to draw and crochet but every time I think about it it sounds like the most exhausting thing ever.
It just came back as strong as ever, I am feeling it today. But I refuse to give up. I am willing to fight this crippling disease till I am no more. Depression is extremely powerful, but it cannot, it will not defeat me. Eventually, hopefully, I will arise triumphant! Brace Oh bretheren, for glory is achieved through hardships!
It can be difficult to get out of the rut, especially when the friends you have or used to have are now more focused on their own lives. Stuck in that situation right now, and the only option it seems is to weather the storm alone or w/ therapy.
This video gets posted the time where I feel like everything is getting worst and worst. I hate that my depression worsens when there's important dates or holidays😔 In a few days it's my birthday and I hate it. It makes me so depressed.
A month ago I noticed my depression was getting worse I would cry all the time and felt hopeless I didn't want to get out of bed to do anything. I even felt like life wasn't worth living. I started to get concerned and spoke to my doctor she started me on Prozac and out of all the anti antianxiety medications I took over the years Prozac has made a difference for me. I'm glad I reached out to my doctor.
It's very hard to try and socialize yourself when literally everyone in your life is either too busy or has finally gotten a life of their own. While I'm happy for them, I keep waiting for them to somehow come back and at least check in on me. When I make the move to connect with them, they all seem... distant. Even more so, my country is heavily divided right now, so even my "friends" purposefully build walls around them that I cannot seem to break anymore. So what's the use?
