7 Reasons To Love Someone With Depression 

Do you have someone in your life who you love that is depressed? Comment below. Also, we made a video previously on things to AVOID saying to someone who is depressed: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ihabkxaGqFs.html

The worst kind of sad is not being able to explain why.

SUMMARY 1. They’re stronger than most 2. Their depression does not define them 3. They’re more understanding 4. They’re more honest 5. They’re quite appreciative 6. They’re good listeners 7. They’re deep thinkers (for when you don't have time or are too sad to watch the whole video)

A Wise man once said; _"Don't let people pull you into their Storm. Pull them into your Peace"_

When a celebrity has depression everyone cares but when a common person has depression everyone runs away, hurts so bad

Alternate title: 7 reasons to love yourself

*You can’t love someone’s mental illness away* This is one of the hardest things to learn and one of the most painful things to accept You can’t love someone’s mental illness away but you can love them through it and with it And you can love them on the bad days and the good days and the Nothing days and the everything days and that’s more important really.

This is why I love to sleep... Because finding someone who's loving,caring, patient and understanding of me suffering from depression only happens in my dreams.

Sad to say, most people don't really care. Unless a person who has the depression is attractive. Or a celebrity.

Reason 1: Because they are my friend and I love them with all of my heart No other reasons needed 😊

my best friend suffered from depression and anxiety and he's the sweetest and the most supporting person i've ever known. i'm so glad to have him in my life

In love with the voice of the narrator.

Being both introverted and depressed at the same time stacks up the need of being alone lol

My girlfriend has depression and I love her through it because she's wonderful. I always remind her that. We've been apart due to the quarantine and I miss her so much but we can do this! Well put out video btw.

People who dealt with depression and emotional hardships would never take you for granted. They know how important it is to have someone who listens.

*8: it gives them a reason to live* Yes I'm commenting before I've watched the whole thing. Yes I've heard you need to love yourself before others can love you. I've heard it all, brother. Doesn't change the fact that the only time I feel like I'm worth anything, is when I'm being praised, or told that I'm (sincerely) loved.

Why is this video so underrated?

Thank you for the seven reasons my friends should love me.

I feel so appreciated when you said that people with depression are more resilient

you guys should do a “ how to love someone with depression “

I remember when this channel just got started and i started watching the videos and felt like im not alone i got the courage to go to a psychologist after 4 years of depression im pretty sure this channel saved my life all tough im still depressed im getting the help i need all thanks to this channel.

I struggled with depression for almost 5 years and finally I’m free from it 🙏

*7 Reasons to love someone with Depression* 1. They're stronger than most - They're willing to continue on despite the pain. 2. It doesn't define them - You are loving the person and they'll reciprocate it because you're with them and it's rare for them to be accepted. 3. They're more understanding - They know the pain and are willing to help despite their own issues. They care. 4. They're more honest - They don't have harsh motives and them being blunt doesn't equate them that they hate you. They just want you to know what it means. 5. Appreciative - You understanding them means a lot. They don't want you to feel smothered and feel like they're a burden. Reassurance helps them too. 6. Good listeners - They'll always listen to you despite their own shortcomings. They want you to know that it's not all about them. It's also about you. Dating is not done alone. It's a team effort. 7. Deep thinkers - They're like existentialist philosophers. Smart in their own way and it helps you understand their perspective as they talk more about it.

One thing I've learned after dating someone with depression is you can only love them if they love themselves enough to seek help when they need it. No one should feel responsible for someone's happiness except themselves. I learned the hard way. Denial and stubbornness when it comes to mental illness can hurt relationships.

I suffer from depression as well. It gets so bad that I won't answer my phone or go anywhere. However I go threw highs and lows with it. I know it must be hard for some to be around me but I'm grateful that they are.

i have dated a few, it tends to not end well. I was always in a position where they'd pick a more immediate happiness over me and they always regret it. Dating someone more stable has been much better for me

Funnily enough, like 50% of my friends are depressed and some have been depressed. They're some of the best people ever and I love them so much.

My boyfriend suffers from depression, but it's not as severe as it used to be back when we met... He would self harm, be more impulsive, less opened about things, but our relationship actually healed us both ❤ It was veeeery hard at the start but now after more than 5 years of being together I can't be happier :) Sometimes the struggle is worth it, despite all the pain you're going through

I think sometimes that people with depressions are better people. Of course not every body but in the most cases.

Glad you mention the strength of those struggling with depression. While it comes down to the individual, many who suffer depression are incredibly strong

*"No no no... don't do that.... DON'T GIVE ME HOPE."*

My bf has depression. I’ve had it a year ago but I’m much happier now and I’m seen as the person who always has a smile on her face. I just wanna help him too and make him feel happy again.

I had close friends with depression who ended every way of contact. An Ex even broke up because he had to manage his mental health before a relationship. Still when I met my bf, I suspected his depression early on and he confirmed while dating. Didn't stop us from coming together and going strong since. Sometimes it so hard for him, but I'm there whenever he needs me. He ist just the perfect man: kind, open, empathic, gentle. Depressed man often seem so emotionally mature and lovable. Keep loving everyone!

100% all true. I am depressed and with anxiety. I fell in love with someone who is the same. We gave each other meaning and life is much happier. Its also good that we understand each other's struggles so we know when and how to support each other. Its a true partnership. I am glad I found him. Today is our 2nd anniversary.

*oh damn, i got so emotional by watching this, it relates a lot to me as someone who's struggling with depression and anxiety.*

Personally I have never struggled with mental illness, so I can only imagine what having depression must feel like. I’ve had days of deep sadness, self-hatred, hopelessness, burnout and inexplicable anger, and I can’t bear to think that others could be feeling like that on a daily basis, even some of my closest friends. I always try to be open-minded and approachable in case anybody needs help or needs to vent because nobody deserves to feel alone in times of distress.

My girlfriend and I have met at the lowest points in our lives where we've been suffering from depression for 5 and 3 ears accordingly, and the level of mutual understanding of each others situations allowed us to heal one another and develop a strong bond, although its even a long distance relationship and we can't see each other as much as we want yet, but its been 3 years like that and we are still together and work hard to move in together in the near future =)

just a reminder that you’ all matter, you all deserve love and whatever happiness is to you. I don't care if I don't know you, I love you and care about you every day

yes, I am depressed. people often say I'm too hard on myself, over-analyze in general, and impatient with people who are fake-nice but that I'm also a good listener, open-minded, and empathetic. i don't think i disagree either. thanks for this video. everyone should feel they're capable of being loved and loving others, and i generally appreciate the inclusive space here.

Well, my ex "removed herself" from our relationship and was with someone else by the time she "dumped me", which wasn't a clear dumping at all. She said that I had "become someone that she didn't like". I'm 37 and have been struggling with depression and anxiety since I was around 13-14. She dumped me around 7 years ago and I'm still not over it.

My ex deal's with depression. He broke up with me because he didn't love himself and he told me to move on and find someone more emotionally stable. He also told me he needs time and space for himself. I love him so much and I will always be here for him. I know I have to move on and if he comes back I'll be there for him now matter what. But for now he has to go through this to heal and love himself to be happy

Do you really even need a reason? Everyone deserves to be loved, and we should all strive to love unconditionally and indiscriminately.

Dude- this is the right time to upload it. I am dating someone with depression and I never knew he was depressed. He feels really lonely. I can see how they are appreciated because he thanks me a lot for being in his life. He is a VERY good listener. He remembers every detail I tell him in my stories. He understands me very well cause he remembers everything about me lol. Thank you psych2go for the reasons why I should love him.

the animation is so adorable ! i love the speech ! it makes me feel better 🙏🏻 thank you

I've got a relationship going on with a person who has depression and every fact of this video is describing the person so much but of course it's just a part of them that'll go away and I'll stay by their side to help them.

My boyfriend has depression, and this video sums up our relationship, I find it difficult sometimes, but all relationships are, and I understand what he goes through isnt something he wants either. I want to help him get better for himself, to love and support him through tough thoughts and he doesnt have to do it alone. Your depression isnt a burden to your loved ones, you're not alone, you guys are worth more than you think!

This gives me hope that someone might love me. Usually they say if you don't love yourself you'll be alone forever

Sometimes it's hard to figure out who has depression, a lot of people with this diagnosis seem happy but they're struggling inside. The problem is that they don't look for help. It's quite common

My best friend is depressed and suicidal she's also struggling with body image, whenever she feels suicidal and want to give up i always say to her that she's actually stronger than she thinks and *"if you think you're unloved and worthless just remember there's one person who actually care about you and that's me, i believe you can do this"* i'm trying my best to understand her and i even learn about mental illness just to understand what she says and what i should answer to her problems i do all of this bc i love her as much as i love my family and i don't want to lose her☹️💔

True friendship is one of the best things that someone could have. My bestie suffers from depression and anxiety disorder but she's still one of the best person in my life. She has made me overcome my insecurities and I am sure I'm helping her too. Mental health does not define who you are, be who you are and some people are surely gonna love you for that.

Can you make a video about how to react when mental illness causes a friend to hurt those around them? About when it's okay to distance yourself...

These are absolutely true as I've been through depression... although I preferred to not be in an intimate relationship during that period as it felt safer that way and relied mostly on family and obviously the major factor:- meds instead.. basically I believe it's necessary to work your way through depression slowly and not rush into sudden relationships and try to find the light in the present as in the Now, rather than always believe that light is onlyin the end of the tunnel. It's a tough ride but try to work on your self esteem too,a slight ego boost now and then doesn't hurt 😋.

I relate a lot to this video. I have depression and struggle with it a lot, but my best friends always by my side. Giving me love and support when I need it and battling anything that keeps me from being happy. Honestly, he's the only person who makes me happy and makes my depression pause. It never works for anyone else, and he understands this and does his best to stay around me as much as he can

I'm sitting on the couch and I'm like thank you for reminding me that I could be loved since I have depression😐

Phsych to go: is there anyone who might be suffering from depression? Me: Ummmmm. Nope! (hides antidepressants)

As a person with depression this video high-key warms my heart :)

i have depression, and i'm very grateful for everything my boyfriend does for me. he supports me in everything i do and he puts in lots of effort to make me feel better. i love him so dearly, i wish to become better soon so he wouldn't have to see me in pain. i want to repay his love and kindness tenfold and more. he is the most understanding person ever, i hope everyone has someone like him in their lives. i'm so lucky to have him honestly.

Honestly i’m really glad you posted this. As a person who’s been diagnosed with major depression and has struggled with it my entire life, this made me feel a bit more worthy of love. So...I just wanted to say thank you on my behalf and on the others who this video made feel more worthy.

Love you! I’m living with a guy who has zero compassion I’ve lost 30 lbs since covid he gets mad that I’m weak & ill. Talk about creepy!!! I told him I went broke so I can finally get out!! AMEN Girlz, be careful of users. They feed off of us.

It depends who it is and what has been done within the relationship. However, if it is someone you really do not know completely (acquaintance) or have not met yet, ( new relationship) then the "wait and see" approach is strongly recommended. If it is someone who is "real" + honest, genuine, no addictions, responsible then by all means take a chance. I do not have depression, just victimized by horrible crime ! All true !! I try not to judge people...

I just love how you help all of us with your phycology. It’s really helps me

Wow. The part where it started talking about a wall and how depressed people don't actually want to be alone at that time, when the video showed the image of the friend going around the wall, going out of their way to find and help/ comfort their friend, and said "mind if I join you?" Made my heart melt and I cried. Something that seems so small like that is actually a raging spark of kindness that helps the sunshine come forth through the black dark clouds... Touched me deeply. If I had a friend like that, I would probably marry them (girl) or be their brother (boy) for life...

Most of all: a good and healthy relationship greatly helps depressed people. They will get the strenght they need from it to fight against depression, and be thankful in return to their partner. That can be the fondations for an amazing relationship.

I love this voice, it's so calm and just beautiful

My friend has depression but I like her and I always try to make time to talk with her. I always try to lift her spirits up

This video has changed my attitude towards a depressed and anxiety people.

When you're an empath and your 2 close friends(only friends) had a depression....so you've got it too...by just talking to them

This video is well timed. I certainly needed something like this to give me a bit of a pick-me-up. Thanks, Psych2Go.

Several of these points really hit home as my motto is though I may not be able to help myself, I can at least help those I care about.

This is very accurate. Sometimes, my appreciation is taken as I’m too kind, skeptical, or passive. But I’m simply just appreciating because I know how hard it is to try then not get appreciated, so I choose to appreciate every kindness given to me.

i struggled with depression for a year, and you know what? these reasons are true, i really really care about other people's feelings because i know what it feels like to be lonely, empty and etc. also yes i do think very deeply now, i would relate a lot of stuff to religion and life now, so to all the people who are still struggling with depression, i want u to know that you are sooo strong!!! u will get through this, no one knows when but i know u all can, take care everyone xx

1:34 The Bloodborne sequel I've always wanted. On a more serious note, this video has helped me accept and see the good side of my depression. Thanks so much guys!

This video made me cry. Several people in my family have struggled with depression and I completely agree.

I have depression, anxiety and I overthink everything. This video is the most accurate I have ever seen. This is a great video. Good job with making it!

4:11 When you just explode with love and affection

You know, my experience with it, I hit rock bottom, the lowest of lows and when I was seconds away from dying, I realized that even though I craved for it so badly, it wasn’t what I wanted, I tried to be better and when my mom found out she had a conversation with me it was almost an argument and the worst thing about it is that I could never explain why, it was always something about me or something that had to do with me, and when I realized that, I noticed it and tried to hate myself less, sometimes it would get the better of me, actually, a lot of times, I always felt like certain traumas didn’t hurt me when they did and I tried to do better, climb the hole that I dug myself into, and a lot of times I’d climb and fall, and it felt like I fell deeper each time, I replayed all the things that happened to me so often, I ate less, skipped breakfast, lunch, and relied on dinner and sometimes miss out on that too, and I started talking about it more, how I tried to climb and my life story to other people, and I got help, I’m way better now and watching this, makes me feel even better, because it’s true, when you hit rock bottom, you don’t want anyone else to experience that, that’s why, I tried loving everyone in the beginning and never left love for myself, but now, I’m here, alive, loving others and loving me, and to whoever’s reading this, it gets better, it always does, and I don’t know you but I love you and I care for you, loving is easier than hating, I know it’s cheesy but it’s true, compliment someone, ask them how their day is going, it can mean so much, this is getting really long but, thank you for reading it and have a nice day!

Thank you for making this video, I really needed it today. I've struggled with depression for a while now and I relate to every point in this video.

Thank you SO much for sharing this! ❤️❤️

Wow, very meaningful thank you.

I can agree to all of these a lot since i myself am depressed TwT

I love this channel so much, it helps me a lot, thankss ❤

Lovely animation, Soothing voice and precise Information. Always wins my heart, You're the best Psych2Go.

Me and my boyfriend both have depression and I feel like mine may be worse but either way we’re always there for each other. My depression gets to the point sometimes that I don’t even have the energy or the willpower to get up and shower for a week at a time and I feel disgusting but it’s hard to get up and do things and somehow my boyfriend puts up with it. He tells me that he understands it’s really hard for me and will offer to wash my hair sometimes. When my boyfriend gets upset he’ll just curl up in bed and cry and I’ll sit there and hold him until he’s ready to talk. We both get depressed but we help each other through it and i feel like because of that we love each other even more

"Is there anyone in your life who you think is struggling with depression?" Actually, i don't even have to find someone else because-- "or perhaps, that person is you". Oh, nevermind carry on.

I’m no longer depressed but I was super depressed for years and now that I look back, it really did make me a better person :)

This page inspires me so much for my own channel. It’s so straight to the point as well as soothing to hear! It always has what someone is looking for and I appreciate it so much! x

People say - you have to love yourself in order to get loved. Me, so we have to first cure our mental illness to get a partner. Boom you upload this video and make me question my beliefs ❤️ P.S anyone watching this from India?

2:45 This crying creature hugging their loved one is gonna be me when I finally see the person I love again after quarantine T○T ♥

I'm someone who's been healing from depression, and this video is so sweet. It made me cry :'). I needed to hear this thank you. 💞💖💓

I’ve had someone who came up to me and decided to be my friend when I was sitting by myself. I needed this since I was in a dark time of my life. It truly made me more appreciative. Might have even saved my life. We need more people like this in the world.

How to make your depression go away: love it so it will leave you like everyone else you loved

Motivational speakers: "love yourself first before you can love others and be loved" Psych2Go: U SURE 'BOUT THAT?

Some of the closest people to me suffer from depression. It is not a choice and support is helpful. It is a matter of being respectful when they need space, and being there when they need you most. Depression is just ONE aspect of there life, it doesn’t define them, and it doesn’t need to get brought up constantly. They are just regular people that just happen to have depression ♥️

I recently found this channel. Thank you so much for making these videos. This one particularly made me tear up. I am crying about almost every little thing recently after realizing my dad has been cheating on my mom. I didn't want to burden my friends with my negative thoughts and so I pent it up inside me and exploded one day by lashing at my friends. My friends came to the rescue and asked me what's wrong and we came to an understanding and I cried even more, happy that I have friends like them. This video just reminds me how much of a nice person they are and how much love I deserve, it gives me a lot of hope. I hope I can find a boyfriend one day who can understand me, and that can be compassionate toward to as well. Thank you so much, I hope you the best.

♡ Spread the love to all those with depression and other mental health diagnoses. They deserve it so much.

Me watching this video to see if the reasons to love someone like me would actually be strong enough for someone to love me

I have found the answer I have been looking years for, thank you. It's much appreciated.

When I'm looking through the comment section it's like once I was alone and then thrown into a universe where every person understands. Great video. Awesome channel.
