You've struggled with feelings of depression for a while now (3:00) 5. You feel guilty for "not having a good reason" for feeling down (3:40) 6.

My depression made people think I'm ungrateful for the stuff they do and get me, but it's false. There is a fine line and I believe this video helps to explain that line

man these videos are getting more and more personal and im here for it

Depression is crippling to the point, you feel a whirlpool of all kinds of negative emotions at the same time. You feel worthless, guilty, ungrateful, sad, lazy, unmotivated and a tonne load of other emotions. I wish people understood us more. I wish we didn’t have to struggle so much to make sense with people who think we can just ‘snap’ out of it by just ‘choosing to be happy’. But I know it’s often too much to ask for. Heck, parents fail to see through our struggles sometimes. The next time someone tells you they are suicidal, take their words seriously. There are other means to ‘seek attention’ if someone really had to. Not scream out for help. Not cut themselves. Not cry themselves to sleep (or not sleep) or starve themselves for days at a stretch. It’s sad that the society alienates us in the worst ways possible. Don’t come showing us sympathy and empathy when we are already gone. It’s often too late anyways. To anyone who read this and related, I’m sorry. I hope you get better. And even if no one helps you, I hope you keep helping yourself. ❤

I really didn't realize this and have struggled with constantly being told I'm ungrateful throughout my life even though I never feel ungrateful. Glad to not feel alone.

“People who have never dealt with depression think it’s just being sad or being in a bad mood. That’s not what depression is for me; it’s falling into a state of grayness and numbness.” - Dan Reynolds

I just feel like trying to grab water with my hands: seeking for an escape over and over and over again but unable to do it and feeling like a complete trash for it.

This weekend I had it planned out, I was going to draw all day, advance on my illustration work and go to a Con with Cosplay to have fun; but I ended up in bed all weekend. It was so frustrating because I had the time and the opportunity, I couldn't avoid to think all the things I could've done. But all I could do was stay in bed and watch series, I seriously couldn't do anything else. And I tried to think why was I feeling that way or how I could lift myself to do all those things, but finally I just accepted it was going to be my down day, and I'd give myself the weekend to rest with no remorse. I have to accept there are going to be days like that, and that's a part of me. Talking to my therapist they said that's a part of my routine, I have to accept it and relax, it's ok to have down days. So I just try not to fight it and just let it happen, I'll do all of those things some other day, it's not something I can force myself out of, it's something I have to accept and be ok with it 😌

Im not allowed to be sad, to look sad. I cant even trust myself with naming these things whether not I am being spoiled or ungrateful. So i stay quiet, Im always lost. but seeing these videos give me a warmer feeling than a bitter void i always feel. its whenever i realize that “oh, so that works”, or “so im not really a bad person”.thank u for always reminding me im really an individual, not a pawn.

I've had times where I've gotten so angry at my coworkers or friends for no reason when I'm on depression and it always hurts me when I do that because I know right from wrong and I don't know what the hell I'm thinking when I do that and I feel immediate guilt and I always apologize for what I did.

Life always has it’s downs, but always has it’s ups too, like a rollercoaster. When it’s over, you’ll think about and remember the ups.

I've been thinking about this just today actually. I've been going through horrible spirls of deep self loathing to the point where I want to hurt myself because I feel I deserve it. I've had depression for a long long time and I've been trying to ignore it but its pretty hard. I haven't hurt myself in a long time and I definitely don't plan on it. I'm in the process of seeking help and getting back on my meds. I do also have a great support system and they know all of this and will keep me safe. I just wanted to put this out there to encourage others to put their story out there and to know you're not alone ❤️

I’ve heard resilience described as the “counter” to depression, and practicing gratitude helps as a tool for resilience. ❤ for everyone out there struggling with depression and other mental illnesses.

I actually had burnout that lasted 7-8 months for me during Covid and I thought that was bad. But seeing I've been feeling emotionless lately with drops of heightened sensitivity ( feel like crying for no reason ). And also I actually relate to all the things mentioned in the video. I think I'll give some time to make sure and then maybe it is time to see a professional.

I’m pretty much sure at this point that I have depression. All of these symptoms deeply speak to me. Unfortunaly, I can’t really go to a therapist and have it diagnosed as my parents wouldn’t understand. Hopefully, I can overcome this state of mind sometime in the future…

Thank you for the video. Personally, I haven’t been diagnosed with depression mainly because I can find the willpower to seek help. However, I strongly suspect that something is wrong with me, I can barely sleep, I’m always irritable and I feel stressed and hollow most of the time. All I want to do is be alone, and since I’m in uni that’s isn’t an option. Just wanted to vent a bit.

Wow this is so relatable! At my worst I felt this way but no one understood. Thank you for talking about this ❤

What are the links between anger and depression? I find that when I fall into depression I’m normally very agitated and impatient, although I’m not sure which comes first.

Been battling depression and anxiety for a while, keep going!!! The road is long but it can be walked.

I can relate to ALL of the mentioned symptoms. I think the ones that struck me the most at this point were when nothing brings joy anymore and there's nothing to look forward to, because whenever something good or cheerfull happened I always had that voice in my head saying that something's gonna happen and there's no point in feeling happy because sh*t's goona go down in 5..4..3.. and that was a cooooonstant state where I lost interest in anything because what was the point if something terrifyingly bad would happen just a minute later? The second one was that it's pervasive. It's a state. It's constant. Living in this thick, tar-like atmosphere where every move seems too hard. And still I lived like a normal person on the outside, but behind closed doors I was a mess. I am also addicted and throughout therapy I've realised I was depressed since childhood, and addicted since early teens. And I selfmedicated my depression with substances. I went into rehab last year, got out after 2 months, and it wasn't until a high dose of mild antydepressants kicked in that I finally realised I can live differently. Sure there was a ton of work ahead of me, but with help of professionals, and other people specially ones that are going through the same thing I managed to start to change my life. I still make mistakes, I still have episodes, I'm still on meds, but I am able to live and I am able to look at life in a different perspective. And the most difficult thing was actually reaching out for help.

I'm still learning how to live with depression, but there is one thing that I find really helpful. The one thing that can really win over depression is getting yourself moving. It is hard to do so but when you get yourself up and moving I find it easier to actually function. Just laying down all day or doing nothing actually makes my depression worse. My parents have been holding me up to higher expectations now that my senior year of highschool is running through and I found that movement has made me feel so much better not just physically but mentally too. I still find it hard to get moving but I can see the difference in my mood when I finally do get moving. I also have ADHD so my brain is behind. I was incredibly emotionally unstable. So I have needed more time to get to the point of maturity than those who are also my age. That had me struggling a lot too so my parents are taking it upon themselves to help me take the baby steps to feeling better and learning to love and appreciate myself. Leon Taylor's TED talk is a good video on how physical movement can help mental health. ru-vid.com?search_query=mental+health I hope this helps.

Hope this helps for your time! 1 : You're more self-critical than usual. 0:47 2 : You don't look forward to anything anymore. 1:22 3 : Your emotions have become unstable and out of control. 2:17 4 : You've struggled with feelings of depression for a while now. 3:00 5 : You feel guilty about "Not having a good reason" for feeling down. 3:41 6 : Your frustrated with yourself in your inabilities to just "get over it." 4:14 (same message as the 5th sign so I put this to be more specific) 7 : You can choose to stop being ungrateful; You can't choose to stop being depressed. 5:00 I hope everyone is doing well. Edit 1: I made a lot of edits because I got some things wrong on some signs

I'm medically unique and have had a lifetime of hell, yet I still get 'muppets' telling me that I'm ungrateful and/or that "there are people worse off than you" as if that's going to help me or lessen my problems in any way.

Thank you soo much for your videos!! My mom won’t let me go to therapy because she can ‘deal’ with me. Your videos help me get through a lot of tough times. TYSM! Can you do a video on bipolar and manipulative parents?

Thank you for being so informative!

I have experienced depression a lot recently and I relate to all these signs for 2 weeks. Thank you very much for these videos, keep it up.

I'm dealing with my Dad being home most of the time because he doesn't have a car right now,so we have to live off of what he buys from the store. It's hard to stay grateful with my situation,but I have faith in working towards independence so that I can get stuff for just myself. On top of that i've been dealing with mental illness for a majority of my life so it can make me feel not equipped to handle certain life problems

How about those that see your depressive episode as a good opportunity to divorce you and take you for everything that you own? They use you r depression against you and call it emotional abuse and use online taunting and bullying to keep you deeply depressed and cause as much damage to you as possible and ghost you leaving you broke and homeless with a few lies to the court you are screwed out of your own life with no recourse or rights. Wonderful people on this planet!

I NEEDED THIS SO MUCH

I was diagnosed in April 2019 but I had been feeling this way for a very long time, since my mid teens in fact! I often wanted to be alone and not be around anyone and I was socially awkward. I still have my bad days but medication has helped me yet watching this video has helped me realise that I should have gotten help sooner. Thank you for all you do Psych2Go!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰

The list in this video is on point for what I go through with my depression. These videos help me to understand depression better and to understand what I am having to deal with. Thank you so much for making these videos

I have been suffering for like 2yrs now since I joined a new school and at the quarantine at the start of imperson session I used cry harder without reason and after I feel very numb ,useless worthless ,guilty that I couldn't score enough to make my parents happy and because of my outburst of anger I will break pencils in hand I am a teen I realized that I was suffering after seeing ur videos thank you so much

Nicely put together; thank you. Having struggled with many/most of these symptoms from being a young man (now 68) I’m finding their unwelcome return rather hard to deal with. Just a thought, however. There can be much to be depressed about. I follow American politics, U.K. politics, climate change issues, the war in Ukraine, the widening gap in wealth inequality, global health issues. So give me a nudge when it’s time to smile. Lol. Keep up the good work. X

Thank you I needed this and I'm sure there's plenty of others that needed this as well. Ive had moments where I would feel depressed and then I would try to list atleast 3 things that I'm grateful for to make me feel happier, but I would still feel that numbness or sadness afterwards. Even after I validated my feelings and did this, I would still feel depressed.

People don't know what depression is who have had a great life and things always go their way. They say snap out of it and say it's all in the past. You should be over it by now. Thanks for all your videos psych 2go. They really help me to know it's not just me.

For me it comes along with my Asperger Syndrome. I keep getting told how good I am at what I do and the high standards I achieve, I don’t see it as remarkable and don’t understand how others are unable to achieve the same. I have only recently come to accept that despite putting a lot of effort into trying to get on with life as “normal”, my “normal” is (on a scale of 1 to 10) is hovering around 7 or 8. 9 and 10 are avoided through a mix of medication and trying to apply what I’ve learnt through therapies over the years.

I have signs 1,4,5, and 7. I went through an overall mental health dip over the past 3 weeks, and it was mostly due to the future coming up so fast on me, since I’m in 11th grade now and just starting to be an adult, even though I’m not 18 yet. I ended up having no motivation to exist, I felt anxious, depressed, and even angry during it, I was also very tired and barely had the energy to get out of bed in the morning too. I had minor suicidal thoughts too. I only really got through it by letting the feelings flow, and not holding them in like I’d normally do, and it helped me to feel better too. I’m doing better now, but I still have to get used to no longer being a child now, I’ll get it one day. 👍🏻

I feel like I haven’t gone through enough to be depressed, and that there are other people going through so much more who aren’t depressed. And i keep hating on myself, and right now with everything that’s going on, i have been going through all of these symptoms

Your voice is comforting. This is the only place I'm understood . Thank you.

your work is appreciated, thanks

Thanks for the video!

Thank you for this new and very interesting perspective ❤

I can say that I've noticed some of theses things in myself cause I told my dad that I need therapy cause of how I feel how treats me like I'm crazy cause he's a perfectionist and expects me to do everything right 👍 So anyways God bless you big sis and you're beautiful family 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 keep up the great work with the videos about mental health 🎚️🔥🕊️🙌

Boost!! These videos have helped me through tough times and offer clarity a lot

It hit something in me. Ever since our office re-located, at first I was fine. I know I'll be too busy adjusting to the point that I won't get homesick but it only started to take effect after two months. I was fine then I felt I was going down to that dark place again. There was not a day that I don't suddenly tear up even while I'm busy working. It's still very recent. I just started to feel slowly getting a bit better. I try my best to feel grownded whenever I caught myself in my thoughts. I still think about it but not as hard as last time like how I feel bad for getting upset over petty things. That's why I felt like it's not worth sharing with anyone. I know myself that I should get over it. I'm a practical and rational person. I have no idea why it partnered up with a sensitive and emotional heart. Thinking of a solution is what makes me feel better and not comforting words. Assurance that there be solution/s makes me a bit calmer. I rambled a lot already. 😅

Thanks for this video I needed it ❤💯💯💯

This video need more views! Thank you 💛

Every time I watch these videos I go to the verge of tears and I REALLY want to get help but it is just so much money and I feel bad spending my parents money. Hoping once I get a job maybe I can pay for it on my own

Every new video you make just keeps on showing me more and more stuff I'm going through that prove I'm depressed and I'm thankful to know this but at the same time it just adds on to a group of more reasons my life is hell

You are all doing an awesome job, thank you for bringing the topics forward. which people usually don't talk about. While I personally don't watch much due to reasons like work, depression (sometimes hearing about it makes me feel worse XD). I appreciate what you are doing and I hope a lot of people, especially those who are not having any mental illness as they are the ones who understand the least.

I'm such a messer all over in my beautiful life but my beautiful mind is always being crumbled to pieces by the horrors in me, I surely hope this is a safe place to open up about, I really hope so.

Yeah, I have all 7 of these signs, just not all at once though. Number 4 I've been dealing with for so long that I honestly don't term been remember when it started anymore. All I remember is that I was still a kid with number 4. When I was a kid and even now as an adult, I lose my appetite when depression hits.

I have had lots of simmilar experiences with what was shared in this video. Looking back I can't say with absolute certainty that I was deppresed but I had lots of symptoms and I think it could have gone worse had I not asked for help. I know a friend who is going through simmilar experiences and they don't want to ask for help because they think their parents don't care about them. All of this had led me to want to become a psychologist to help as many people as I can with mental health. If you stuck to the end of this long article, I hope you're doing fine and if not, ask for help. It isn't a sign of weakness. It is a sign of control over your thoughts, if you have deppression. Thank you for reading this, peace.

I am diagnosed with depression, ADHD, and a mood disorder sometimes it’s hard to tell if I’m depressed or having a mood episode It’s not fun but I try to be happy and focus on good things love your vids btw!! 😊

Thank you for this info guys!!!

super Nice Voice and intonation, always a pleasure to listen and watch your videos, thanks

My current depressive experience, About 3 months ago I was broken up with, in my opinion it had a lot to do with my inability to manage my depression. Now I've been in that dark hole sense. I don't feel joy or happiness. I just closed on a beautiful victorian cottage built in 1885 in Kentucky. I did feel excited about it once. I cried the drive home from closing on my new house because I felt so lonely, not having a beautiful partner buzzing around and enjoying a new life together. Yeah, I feel suicidal everyday, I feel guilty about that because of the new house, of course I beat myself up constantly. But I'm working on not judging myself and my feelings and not beating myself up. It's difficult and I could go on about my self loathing but really who cares. I know people do but you know the saying, "how can people love you when you don't love youself?" Oh well, anyway thanks for the helpful videos.

Thank you for letting us know some other symptoms of depression. I'm trying to get positive...doing things as well as I can, being kind even if they insult me for not doing a good job...and blaming me for every fault or mishaps happening. Sometimes I really don't know what to do or where to start 😢😔😢 I'm confused and hurting inside that I'm not doing anything, thus labelling me as ungrateful 🙄😞🙄 Hard to continue living with people not appreciating what you do to make things easier for them 💔💔💔

My dad would go on about how I’m ungrateful and that “back in his day he didn’t have all the wonderful things we have today” this always hurt me because I knew that I wasn’t being ungrateful I’m just quite and don’t feel the need to over express my emotions about certain things. I just sit in the back and observe and notice things most people miss. I just always feel misunderstood by my parents

This is acually one of the best animation i ever seen on this chanel

+Psych2Go *Due to my autistic neurology, I've **_very_** little experience with gratitude.* Thanks for the list of symptoms: 0:44 (1) Elevated self-criticism 1:21 (2) Chronic anhēdonía 2:17 (3) Emotional dysregulation 3:00 (4) Chronic depressive state 3:39 (5) Guilt over no apparent cause for depressive state 4:14 (6) Frustration over inability to "get over it" 4:58 (7) Inability to activate grateful state

Girlfriend of 5 years left me, claims of alot of things but being ungrateful and unappreciative was one of them. I've been struggling for years with depression. This just makes me feel slightly more frustrated because my mental illness got in the way, but also in a sense makes me somewhat relieved because it's not who I am and I know this. Trying to push through and be better each day.

Really impressive that your able yo post alot of videos with amazing animations.

Depression makes me feel like I’m being ungrateful even though I’m fighting a overlooked battle, and number 2 really hits with me.

I hate viewing videos about depressive, cause everytime I can relate at least one thing to myself. idk, i wish i could tell someone about it, everytime I try to say something, nothing comes out. I just smile and say anything that comes to mind

0:37 Reading the annotation tore me apart, but I learned an important lesson. You can't count on anyone.

i needed this vid

Thank you 💚

Food For Thought: That’s the thing about depression: A human being can survive almost anything, as long as he/she sees the end in sight. But depression is so insidious, and it compounds daily, that it’s impossible to ever see the end.

This is comforting and encouraging to realise that I DO have depression and I'm not just feeling bad for being a downer or acting ungrateful.

I connect with this so much, like all of it

Thank you :)

I can’t pick just one I relate to all of them in some way

Thanks a lot.

No matter how many videos I watch, I still have that consistent self doubt that I'm truly depressed. I think foolishly that one day I would just "snap out of it" and be like "haha see guys I was just joking".

This video hits hard for me. I've felt this way the last one year and never knew what it was until I decided to seek help a month ago

Psych2Go really helps me so much! The videos are very informative and I do love the animation also. I think I should start some consultation too. Thanks for the effort, Psych2Go! ❤️

66. Your videos has helped me alot. Thank you.🙏🏻

Yes right now I lost my job in the military but have never been happy doing it. I felt useless to everyone and it never got better it got so bad I decided to give up. Now I'm struggling because I feel like I've lost all progress of my life its like I'm a child who has no skills and I struggle even writting resumes or meeting people because of my anxiety and depression.

Much encouragement and strength to those who are suffering from this disease, if you read this think that there are more people going through the same thing and trying to get ahead.

Thank you.

Coming from a religious community where you are made to feel like an oddity for being ungrateful for suffering, this made me feel validated. Thank you 💗

All of these are important to note 😢

I've been so sad every single day for as long as my mind lets me remember. Every since my breakup I've been feeling useless, worthless and undeserving of happiness. All of my actions and mistakes in the past lead me to this point. I don't love myself, I can't love myself. The person who I shared everything with and comforted me, accepted me, left me and hates me. No matter how hard I try I'll never be good enough. For anyone or anything. Seeing these videos reminds me of when we would watch them together. It's comforting and it makes me very sad at the same time. I just was to be happy. Please. Talk to me Poppy.

I could relate to evry point but lucky for me it is past right now. I suffer of incrurable disease (good enough reason to get depressed already) and during some regular tests it turned up that I needed basically life saving operation recovery from which took a really long time for almost a month simple washing myself on my own was a challenge. I couldn't do almost none of my hobbies and the one I could do, playing games wasn't giving me any joy. I was brave enough to be first to say that i need professional help. Now I feel much better both mentally and phisically. My message for those who relate to some of points in the video: don't be affraid to ask for help. Professional therapy is huge help. If you are depressed I hope you will get better soon.

you guys are living in my mind at this point..

Recently my therapist took a session for me explaining the various thoughts which occurs during certain time intervals. She consoled me to be a pessimistic and look at brighter aspects.

Most adults don't understand their children going through depression unless they feel depression itself...

I've always had the inclination that I have depression and anxiety and we'll I so totally relate to the video and the comments people always get upset about you always being moody and wanting to be alone but they just don't understand what we are really going through I've tried to be better for the last 2 years but nothing seems to help I just want other people to know they deserve to live they deserve to to thrive and I understand what you are going through lots of love to anyone who needs it

Was crying from start to finish... been experiencing all of these symptoms for 2 weeks now. 😢 they're all coming back. I have taken anti-depressants back in 2020 and now I feel like I need to talk to my doctor again, to seek some professional help.

Sometimes I don't know if I have depression or I'm just over thinking it. My whole life, I've never been thought about depression or talk about something that's clearly make me upset. I was taught to never speak up when ur upset and hide ur pain at all cause. It's been like that my whole 18 years and now that I'm 22, I don't know if it's depression or anything that relate to it all. I just don't know how to express my emotions. I'm so use to "hiding all my negative feelings" that whenever I feel upset or anything negative. I held it in long enough till I know that no ones around to see me finally letting it all out. Usually this happen whenever I first feels anxious because people are scary for me, then anxious turn to fear when someone suddenly gets angry at me later on started to yell at me and I don't even know what I did wrong to be yell at, then fear turn to anger that I don't deserve to get yell at and that I'm the one who should yell at them for making me feel uncomfortable and then guilt, I feel bad for having the thought of being upset and trying to standing up for myself. It's as if it's my fault and I deserve whatever it is they had to say without even trying to understand who's fault was it in the first place. This happen more then I can count, everytime I feel negative feelings. I tried my best to avoid it because I know if I started to feel bad, I might get upset, angry and then I'll cry. I avoid feeling this so no one can see me like this because whenever they ask me why I'm upset or who made me upset, I just don't have a reason or any answer to tell them and I knew they would say I'm looking for attention or that I'm whining like a kid or that I can't handle being an adult and I should grow up. So I avoid my feelings and just be happy around people. Even if they are clearly toxic people in my life, both at home and at work. So I never thought I have depression because I don't know the difference between trying not to cause a scene or I needed profecional help because I'm depressed. I think I ramble too much

I’m a freshman in college and sometimes it has been overwhelming and tiring especially when I have ADHD. Last week, I had a exam in my world art survey class. I spent a lot of time studying for it and preparing for it and only to fail. I hated myself, I kept calling myself stupid, slow and that I can’t do anything thing right even if I tried and things like this happen so often that it’s just a cycle. When I told my mother how I felt, she just said I’ll get over it and that I’m overreacting and even told some family members even though I didn’t want people to know, it just makes me feel a like charity case. I know she’s only try to help even though she doesn’t fully understand. And when I saw this video, I felt that I can relate to a few things, but I’m not sure if I have depression or I’m just taking to seriously and making a fuss over nothing.

1 : I can’t relate that much 2 : no not really 3 : Reason Why I’m An Emotional Wreck xd 4 : kinda me 5 : eh I’d say I’m a bit like that 6 : I relate to the “ being dramatic “ part 7 : I’d say kinda and there’s ur answers from a person with like a million issues :D..

needed dis

Sooooo good

I Definitely Know For A Fact That I Seriously Do Relate To A Whole Lot Of This Video !!!😢💔💯
