Favor needed. We're trying to raise awareness of how common it could be for a child to experience depression despite the statistics. If you've personally experienced depression yourself as a child or know someone who has, could you consider sharing this video to help generate more awareness. If you did, let us know so we can thank you!
My parents know I have depression and anxiety but wont do anything about it it sucks :/ (my mom cares but my dad doesn't at all :/ also this is not a self diagnosis but I do have a strong feeling but..... honestly what do I know🤷🏻♀️)
what is so annoying about any person or child being depressed is that they can’t talk about it with their daily people, because they’d think they’re “overreacting” or “ur just faking it”
@@enchantedpoop3320 Most parents like mine think that kids that have depression are just faking it for attention or maybe they think it's from being on electronics for too much. Most parents just simply don't care and think we're over reacting.
Happened, loved science and languages when I was younger, now everyone expects me to be the next Da Vincii, the sad part? It's all my fault, it was all...
Oh yes definitely. Used to have very high grades, buuuut when I began to develop mental health issues I physically am unable to do my homework without it being 1 day before the deadline, which leads me to staying up late
I Hate it when you have Depression or something is bothering you and your parents just say. "You are a child just be happy" or "When I was your age I had bigger stuff to worry about"
And my parents says that I can not understand how much they had hardworked for my living but they are not understanding that I am not a chind anymore I am 16 and I am able to understand them and I really know that I am not worth to be their daughter
@CallMeCat I feel bad for you, your online friend shouldn’t have not been friends with you. And I feel better for you telling me I am not alone. I hope you get a better friend then the one who ignores you.
i told my parents that i felt depressed and they literally told me "you're faking it for attention" "get over yourself" "you're happy all the time. just stop acting sad" like, no. im not acting sad, i've been acting happy around you for the things like these that you're saying to me.
You know what my mom says: She says: stop arguing !!! Or else i will slap you My dad: " Why you dont stop arguing"!!! You know for you your family will not have any respect Me: but-but i .. My mom: shut up!! My dad to my mom : why don't you slap her!!! So this is my daily life 😔😔😔😔😔😔😔
“Come to me anytime you want to talk okay?” That sentence hit me hard tbh. WAS IT REALLY THAT HARD MOM..?! But instead of that, u decided to send me to the mental hospital just because you dont want to deal with me. You forced me to go to school. Whenever I tried to talk about my feelings, you always turned it into an argument. u never trusted me and went on my phone thinking im hiding something from you… or told me im just overreacting, then you questioned why im not talking anything with you anymore… I WONDER WHY. Whenever you saw me struggling, you always made it about yourself, you told me “you are hurting me so much, im so disappointed…” MOM, IM THE ONE WHO IS HURT. Dont make that about yourself… and then called me “ungrateful” for that. Why cant you just accept that im mentally ill and its not my fault…? Why can’t you just support me for at least once? Why? Was it really that hard, mom?
Same and as someone who gets bullied a lot in school the only place I can get help from is the internet and my mom has been taking away my devices saying things like "this is the reason you're always so moody!" Or "You never talk to us you just spend time on your stupid devices!"
I remember two months ago my mom was yelling at me because I told her I was tired and couldn't find something for her on internet rn ( she started saying no one ever helps her on anything). I was mostly emotionally exhausted and with a mental breakdown so in the middle of her yelling I started to cry hard. I couldn't stand her, then she was like *why r u crying? Did I hit you or what?* I was so bad I started to cry harder then two days passed and we didn't talk about it anymore. And that's how it's going.
Even if i control my emotions, if i shut the door slightly loudly im dead as hell 😀 like im not allowed to have emotions other than happiness unless i have a CONCRETE reason for it(by concrete reason i mean its not the reason that i have its the reasons that THEY think are valid) now i usually supress my emotions even infront of my friends and i try to act as happy as possible
today i got a few bruises becuz of my abusive drug addict dad he always call me ugly and idiot then i said if im an idiot then why you didnt finish school?then he throw things on me and said to get out of the house it isnt even his house its my aunts house i cant really with him
Mine isn’t as serious as some of you guys are saying but I think that the reason the I depressed is because my mom has gaslighted next for as lon as I can remember. (Yes it’s diagnosed)
Parents like: my problems were way worse than yours, therefore you don’t have problems. I give you everything; either I’ll explain that you should be happy by default or I’ll imply that you owe me happiness.
Well I have always wished for them to be more understanding and tried to be who they want but we are more of a disappointment to them if we don't get good grades or even looks at the phone for 2 seconds!
kid: literally depressed parents: yeah why are you so depressed it's as if you've got problems that are worse than anybody else's. it's as if you're paying the bills.
Literally my parents. They instead call me crazy rather than comforting me. They called me crazy cause when im crying, i never answer their question when they're asking me why im crying. This is why i ended up venting to my online friend rather than my relatives.
@@MasterIsabelle Yes, even though I got an horrible father whose I don't talk with for like 2 years I got an amazing mom that understands me and helps me
"Please talk to them, let them know you're *willing* to listen *without judgement* " I almost cried there, my parents judge me for every single sentence I say, I can't remember the last time they let me explain myself whenever I was blamed for something
Sometimes it’s best to not just hope longer for the parents to change and listen to you because they won’t just change like that out of nowhere , maybe it’ll be best when you need to distance yourself from them carefully and try to get help from other people who will be on your side. It’s a hard step to take , to open up and trust someone. Sometimes it could be you ask help from the wrong people but you can’t give up on yourself. I know that it will get better for you. Maybe not necessarily your parents but I think that you can do it. You’re worth to be listened to and supported.
All here, teens being depressed or teens that had depression, it's sad how we had learn to cry in silence so no one would come at your room and tell you "Why are you crying?" and if you tell them they would take away from you everything that makes you happy. The good thing is we will all talk to our kids and ask them how they feel so they don't experience depression like we did.
yea as 11 years old kid I was using discord and talking to other people that was suffering from depression or other things like me then my parents noticed I was talking to "strangers" which I consider them as my best friends then they didn't let me use discord anymore and I felt empty nothing but empty they took the only thing that made me happy they took it away I am litterly crying in silence rn I need someone to take me away from this place or something I need someone to talk to
Pls I literally already mastered how to cry while silencing it + while having a blank face 🥲 Main reason: im too damn insecure and nervous to tell my parents *anything* related to my emotions and thoughts because of fear of being judged for them. Example: *actually tries to open up* parents: well it’s your fault *insert passive aggressive here* (even tho I myself know I didnt do a single shit for me to feel or think that way)
1. Severe moodiness 2. Low energy 3. Lack of interest in fun activities 4. Change in eating habits 5. Feelings of sadness or hopelessness 6. Behavioral problems at school 7. Declining grades 8. Social withdrawal Hope this helps, hang in there 🖤
I'm easily irritated I get more energy in the afternoon Depends on the activity but nonetheless it's rare I used to eat more than I currently do Mild feelings of hopelessness...it comes and goes due to paranoia I started I fight in 5th grade...and I curse if that counts Mainly in math...it's more so fluctuating. Idk
The most hurting thing is when parents doesnt even notice their child fake smile..... And everytime you talk about your problem and when you tell them.. They always said that you are being dramatic.. Edit: Thx for the likes! I have never get this much likes! ☺️❤️❤️
Yep Whenever I say steadily say something to mom about something like this, she either slaps me and then says stop being dramatic Or People with problems do that
I feel that before and for me it was very hurtful SOOooOOo how i would cover up the tears (which almost work kinda) i keep on laughing or smiling, k that's all.
its funny how even if some parents did watch this, they wouldn't realize that their kids are depressed because they simply don't know their kids well, even if they think they do Edit: I almost forgot I commented this but I came back to all these replies. I'm glad to know people were able to relate to this and hope it gets better for all of you in the future, hang in there everyone
@@koolkidhav that's true but sometimes parents are just controlling and toxic so their kids stop talking to them about themselves. Meaning that the parents only think of the kid as the kid they knew a year ago, you know :)
@@moniishighonkpop8445 Damn this is actually right, my mom said she knows me more than I know myself but she doesn't even know anything I like, dislike, what my hobbies are or anything, it's like she didn't even pay attention the past few years to how I changed
I am a 12 year old and when i saw this vidio pop up i couldnt help but watch it. a little while ago i did think i might have depression, but i put those thoughts out of my head. some time after i started homeschooling i felt really anxious around people and i started feeling more comfort from eating. i also found that recently i have been listening to a lot of music with names like "Anxiety" or "fake fine" and even things like "this is what sadness feels like" and "im not ok". i have also been a good artist since i learned how to use a pencil, but i have also been recently drawing ghost chibis or anime girls that are lying on ground dead. another symptom i have noticed from here is sleep. i have often, even if its past 1 am i connot fall asleep. there are two more as well. i often get grumpy when i have three pages of work that i have to do, and feel overwhelmed. i have also cried for no reason at times. i tell my parents i dont know why im crying, but really i can feel that it was built up saddness. i also tend not to cry when a great-grandparent dies. sorry i know this commentwas long and this video was meant for parents. i just needed to get this off my chest
i relate to most of these, i can't sleep like i used to, i also cry for no reason sometimes and just feel like crying and my mom thinks something happened then i tell her nothing happened and he says it happens thankfully she gets it, i get mad for everything, i hate it but I can't resist it, when I try to not get mad ill eventually break out and feel really angry. and I also have a ton of hunger these days.
Man, I have a LOT of depression. But, last year I discovered a show on RU-vid called Battle For Dream Island, where 20 objects battle for an island called.. you can just guess. There's a lot of shows that follow that same format, and I am OBSESSED. I even draw my own characters, and I want to get into Ringling. (a really good art school, in case you aren't sophisticated) I have ALL THE ADOBE STUFF, but I haven't gotten around to using it yet. Oh well, I'll use it someday.
To be completely honest, my mental health would probably decline more if my phone was taken, since my phone is how I talk to most of my friends, and watching RU-vid brings me laughter when nothing else will. I don’t have any social media, so my parents can’t use that as an excuse lol. Not having my phone would make me worry even more than I already do and I’d just want to stay in bed all day drowning in my own self pity :/ This is why parents shouldn’t blame things in the phone and actually try to figure out the root cause (cuz it could be the phone sometimes, but not in every case). Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk XD
@@redcherryblossoms wow that’s actually so true. i wish I weren’t so dependent on my phone but also this is where I get most of my comfort and escape from life. I know that when I’m really hurt I can go to RU-vid and get at least a little boost and feel just a bit better, which makes a surprising amount of difference. anyway yeah I agree :)
@@redcherryblossoms from my perspective, using our phones for happiness is a byproduct of not being able to find happiness in our daily activities. For us, they bring color or an escape from our black and white realities, when none of our friends and/or parents can't hear our cries. But because of WYSIATI (look it up too lazy to explain), our parents think our phones is the root cause when they don't see where it rly came from.
Wish there were actually parents in the comments, it just worries me about how less past generations are conscious of the importance of a good mental health
Yeah. Nowadays people brush it off and say get over it. Mental health is more of a joke to people than an actual thing that hurts people's lives. Especially with children. BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT PEOPLE. THEY'RE JUST INNOCENT LITTLE KIDS. THEY DONT HAVE FEELINGS! fuck you society. Fuck you. Sorry needed to vent there 😅
Yeah, but here's the great part: most of us who are watching this video are going to be parents in the future. _We_ can grow up to be better parents than _our_ parents ever were.
@@luischaboii8990 What? If anything, mental health is taken MORE seriously than before. The mentally ill were put in institutions 20x worse than anything today where they were regularly abused, neglected, and treated as non-humans where they were experimented on against their will. In the 50s people literally thought that contradictory statements from parents caused schizophrenia. Mental health services, awareness, and parental education on kids' mental health is SO MUCH better than ever before
@@slurples149 That means that someone wanted you, am I right? It's better to have a family that wants you than being an "accident" to your biological family yeah?
@@slurples149 oh sorry and don't worry about your english, because you don't have to be perfect at it, as long as you can communicate with an english speaker, it's good enough
That’s my case haha, I really trust strangers more then my own parents because whenever I come to them with anything serious they threaten me or say something uncomforting.
It’s hard being a teenager and experiencing depression at the same time because then the adults blame it on your hormones and it’s like NO! It’s not all about that. I genuinely want to die sometimes!
Hang in there ❤️❤️❤️, don’t do it. Talk to a therapist if you can, please don’t leave us. The world needs you here whether you know it or not. We’re all here for you.
The pain and the suffering I wanted to die I almost cut my neck but stay strong Its not worth it if you kill or hurt yourself image the pain/guilt your friends and parents will feel for not begin there for you just tell your parents you need a therapist I don't want people hurting themselves cause all depressed or most don't want a person to suffer like the way we do The most damaged people are the most wisest all because we don't want people to suffer like us
Thank you all I had a pretty decent day yesterday, but I have mood swings so that could change but I’m going to try to do my best to live. I do now have a therapist and I’m going to have my first real session next week.
It’s just really hard sometimes because half the smiles all my friends see are fake. I mean my school is my happy place because all of my friends are there and They are The only thing getting me through this. But I’m going to a new school next year, and I’m scared that if I don’t have them while I’m still in this state I will just be completely shattered.💔
Honestly ever since I was 12, I think I got diagnosed with 3 disorders (ADHD, anxiety and depression) and honestly they are only getting worse and worse, and that was because I was way too scared to tell anyone not even my parents or friends because they'd think I'm a drama queen and way too sensitive or think that I'm faking it for attention. The main reason is because my friends have really bad family issues which kind of makes me feel spoiled and makes me even more scared. At home I would just open my laptop watch your videos and cry silently because of how relatable your depression, ADHD and anxiety videos are, I even took millions of test (PhD certified) and they all say I have those mental disorders which makes it really hard for me to believe, I even looked up if I can have any of those disorders for no reason and it says it is possible, I am still terrified and scared to this day
When i tell my mother that my father beats me, she wouldn’t believe me.. said i was dramatic. When i told my father i tried drowning in the toilet sink.. he thinks i want attention. When I question their authority.. they say l lack respect So i shut up. You know and SUCK IT IN. I give up. I can’t even trust myself to keep stable around people. I dont know why. I feel hate. Pure bitter hate. It was fear. They shun away from me, saying I’m weird for my age.. too mature ..too quiet. WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT ME TO DO??
“My child is fine” Me: who stays up until 3 AM because that’s the only time I feel completely comfortable. Can’t get schoolwork done without being forced to. Yeah, no I’m doing great
Oh shit i have the same problem but i can somehow finish work before 2 am but there was that one time i only had 1 hour of sleep and went to school, luckily the next day school was closed to me due to covid measures to i slept for a long time
Same nighttime is when I feel most calm and safe and chill I stay in my room all day my parents get upset I remember last week my dad made me go to this stupid parade even after I told him I didn’t feel like going cuz I didn’t feel right and had changed my mind and he said “well what do you mean you don’t wanna go? You have to go” it was hot and I was miserable and the whole thing was so boring too I made up an excuse saying I was sick but they didn’t care I have feel I have to be around everyone in the daytime and i don’t like it at night tho? I lay in my bed and listen to music watch RU-vid videos read books talk to myself etc. it’s like I’m in my happy place no one can bother me don’t get me wrong I still love my parents they aren’t like extremely abusive but I don’t wanna be around them sometimes it’s mostly my dad I hate being around our relationship shattered when I turned 11 and that was years ago me and my mom have an OK relationship I told my dad I can’t socialize and I can’t be around people cuz I get uncomfortable and he completely shut me down and basically said it’s all in my head and that I actually can I just don’t think i can what the sh!t does that mean??
TW: dont get me wrong, i love my parents a lot but when they found out i was hurting myself, my dad kept saying how i've had a good life and i dont have any reason to feel the way i do. and he's right that i've had an easier life than most people because i have a family, a house, food and stuff but that doesnt mean im okay mentally and i wish my parents understood that...
#1 reason why i'm happy i have a cat even tho i slightly feel bad for blaming the cuts on her it's better than being lectured and yelled at. my parents also don't really understand the whole being mentally unstable part for me and my parents are always crazy with being appreciative so i can see where you're coming from with this i hope you feel better and have a lovely life 😊
I'd like to thank this channel for helping me. In middle school, I had developed depression. It ruined my life and it ruined my relationship with my friends and family. I realized what it was before my parents did, and I have no idea whether or not I would've gotten the help I needed if it weren't for videos like these. It was because of these videos that I was able to identify the cause, and I don't think my parents would have ever realized that I was dealing with depression, since it had manifested itself in extreme irritability and moodiness, which my parents had perceived as typical teenage behavior. I'm in high school now and I've still been struggling with depression since then, but I was able to get help for it and I can imagine it would've been much worse had it not been for Psych2Go. I love what y'all do and I hope your videos can help many more people :)
I despise that phrase with my entire being. "Typical teenage behavior." It just makes it sound like everyone instantly becomes a brat once they reach that age but that isn't the case at all.
my mom said that everyone goes through a depression ‚stage‘ as a teenager.. she said that because she was depressed in her teens too, but i dont think its a stage, nor do i think that its normal to go through that at all.
1: Severe moodiness 2: Low energy 3: Lack of interest in fun activities 4: Changes in eating habits 5: Feelings of sadness or hopelessness 6: Behavioral problems at school 7: Declining grades 8: Social withdrawal
I do all of this except no.6 and no.7. I believe that school's the only thing I'm good at and I don't want my parents to stress about me. Even though studying more, gives me more stress, it's better than getting compared to the neighbor's child, a classmate, or a friend. Ever since I was a child, I've always been an honor student (except 3rd grade) so my parents expect me to either get better grades or maintain my good grades. Whenever I get an 87, 88, or 89, in a subject (that breaks the 90+ grade streak) they make me feel that they're not contented, and say that I should study harder even though I always give it my all.
I showed all of these signs and much worse ones as well, at the age of 17 (3 years ago). My mom, her friends, and my ex boyfriend. All insisted that I was "fine" and would try to lecture me on how I needed to stop being dumb, gross and lazy. My grades in school were all A's - C's but then my grades suddenly dropped, when I started becoming badly depressed. My ex was like "I can't be with a girl who's not very smart and lied to me about it all this time, so fix your grades or I'm breaking up with you." That same week he also cheated on me with his ex and treated me like absolute trash. Jokes on him though, I got tired of his BS and dumped him almost 2 years ago.
I show all these signs but in 6th point instead of school its home. I don't know if I'm depressed or it's a phase/hormonal changes as I'm very cheerful when I'm home alone. When I'm alone I do home alone concerts, watch anime, write songs (mostly sad), love too look at sky & star gazing. But i kinda lost all these connections with friends i feel like an outsider even after years of friendship i know they welcome me, still. I eat healthy food but still i feel i have no energy. I feel immediate mood swings, sometimes very severe like i wanna fall off this building..idk. i know i should be alive ..i got good grades too. I don't have anyone even if people are around..idk. I'm only 17 i don't know anything. Mine is not a toxic household but still i feel toxic as my parents keep quarreling. I wrote a song on that too.
I was only 11 years old when I started to feel like this, it’s the worst pain ever and I wish it would go away. I’m in a toxic household filled with people who don’t understand me, or think I need help when I do. I don’t wanna do something I’ll regret
ify. im also in a toxic household filled with people who don't understand me. bad thing is they aren't my parents. another bad thing is my parents won't even try to communicate with me or my younger brothers. another bad bad thing is my parents are separated and they hate seeing each other. what a time to be alive, right.
11 is young, im so sorry for you. but yeah, the pain is just so much and you dont even realise why the pain is there in the first place. but it surely goes away if you fight well. it might even take like 4 months, but it goes away
GOOD EVENING MY FRIENDS AND KNOW FAMILY, I HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH DEPRESSION FOR OVER 7 YEARS NOW , IT'S HARD TO GET FAMILY TO UNDERSTAND WANT WE GO THOUGHT ON EVERY DAY. PLEASE KEEP ME IN YOUR PRAYERS. TEE 💯🙏💙💪
Why is this so relatable lol I literally told my dad, “I didn’t really sleep that good. I’m tired,” and I take a long time to sleep, so I’m just laying there for 2 hours and my dad says, “You play to many games.”
This is so accurate it makes me sad. I told my parents that I thought the reason I was having trouble sleeping was because I had depression, and they told me it was because I was always on my computer (which I use to connect with friends and distract myself from the real world) and cut down my screen time. It got worse after that.
@jordqnn yeah like, she saying that "your phone is the reason it takes you ages to fall asleep", but all I am is have isomnia -_- She also watches her phone until 2am and falls asleep for 10mins Parents are addicted to technoligy as we are or sometimes even worse, so why they judge us if they exactly the same ?
That’s actually the reason I’m watching this . If I mess up I can recognize my mistakes and try to fix them. I want my kids to have a better childhood that I did .
Yep, I don’t think I would even have a child but if I had to speak to one and they needed help I always want to be there to help them so they aren’t alone
I don’t think i’ve ever been more relaxed, I am a child who has been diagnosed with many mental disorders including depression. I experienced abusive trauma when i was a toddler, but now.. I can finally explore myself and find out why I do such things. I mean this, I absolutely love you.
i agree, when u tell ur parents that u feel stressed the answer i always either: "no ur not ur too young" or: "its cause of ur phone/tablet/laptop" like- it doesnt matter what started it, i need to fix it anyways.
Do you know that you can go outside make friends. I know its not a best solution but its a start. Take matters to your own hands. Complaining About it online wont get you what you want.
@@abdullahiqbal1110 I've wanted to do that my whole life but ofc I'm not allowed I'm always stuck at home and my parents wonder why I'm so fucking angry.
tw: suicide when i was at my possible lowest state and had three suicide attempts in two months all my parents said was “you have depression because you’re rude and ungrateful”. when i asked my mom can i go to see psychiatrist she started yelling at me that i’m not crazy and children’s on medications aren’t functioning at all. it’s still hurts me so much that they didn’t do nothing, but they saw how miserable i was feeling, and the worst part for me, is that i’m no longer feeling THAT bad, and they probably think it was just a phase..
@@x-iei-x4725 thank you…. it’s been a year and i still don’t exactly know what to do, but i have much more support now, so i’m feeling a bit better :) tho it still hurts pretty badly…
@@tutek8100 just try to find salvation in something else, music, going outside, people (though it's not that safe as other choices, but if you have luck you can find some nice people to spend time, clean your mind and be at ease) or even games, online games, there are a lot of 'em in which I met really nice folks.
I think my 9 yr daughter Daisy is depressed because she hasn’t been acting how she usually acts! She even grabs her head during breakfast and dinner everyday, she locks herself in her room, she even starts crying and when I ask her “are you okay?”, she says “yes I’m fine, dad” and when I see her going to her room, i saw her face instantly change to a sad expression in the mirror on her door. And i can easily tell she’s depressed because I keep hearing her yell “leave me alone please!” But luckily me, my little sister Petra and my wife Claudia can help her and she knows she can trust us! I just hope we can help Daisy….
My mother doesn't even need signs. One of my teachers literally told her that in school I am always lonely and sad, have no energy or motivation to do anything and that it looks like I'm always on the edge of crying. But she still doesn't care. I don't even want her to help me anymore, just to allow me to go to a psychologist or something. But no, 'that would ruin her reputation'. Edit ig: I am really sorry for everyone who has to deal with the same or a similar problem. But you are all strong and valid, your feelings matter, eventually it will get better, not because your parents will change, but because you will learn how to stand up for yourself and find a way through all this shit.
Honestly, while I try to be forgiving and understanding- People like that can seriously just go to hell already, since they'll probably never change without the fear of death. If you don't care enough about your own child to help them through mental health because you think it will "ruin your reputation" then you are both heartless and stupid. Honestly, you've got a good case for something legal there- Don't really know how to phrase it, but accounting for the most basic mental needs of someone should be important. Like, I'm generally for small government, but if a kid is dealing with depression and their parent is doing nothing for them there should be a way out, and a way for the parent to be legally reprimanded for being a piece of shit. (I know this is your mother and you probably, hopefully love her, and I hope she has some good in her, but seriously, thats so unbelievably shitty I can't even imagine)
I hope you get better, I fell bad for people like this but your mom is a peice of shit. one good copping mechanism is boxing but anyway I really hope that you get better.
y'know, my parents allowed me to open up about my feelings, I was fine with that at first because I could finally spill the jar (release my emotions), but now, it feels like they are forcing me to open up, even if I don't want to, my dad, won't let me go anywhere to express my negativity and instead forces me to open up and its uncomfortable. This year, I'm giving a chance to my parents to change, they have good intentions and I know they didn't mean to uncomfort me in any way. It's okay to open up, but it's also important for people to give you space when you need it.
i struggle with a lot of these but my parents don’t believe it’s depression, however they choose to blame it on me “being lazy” or “being on that phone.” it’s like my cry for help because i’m afraid of talking to my parents about it.
Hugs you tight… i’m really sorry you have to go through all that… i hope things get better for you ;; you deserve to feel better…. Sending many many hugs your way ;; (Edit was just adding r to your)
So sorry for you, you should talk about it to your parents don't be scared after all they are your parents. Sending you virtual hugs. And just do it, and talk to them. Have a good day.
Virtual hugs. Try bringing psychology in your daily conversations with your parents and how useful they can be for our daily lives. This way it'll be easier for them to understand complicated and sensitive things like depression. After that try initiating to have a general analysis for you and your family.
I found my BFF/crush online and he is my everything. My mom grounds me, which means that she's taking him away from me. She doesn't give a damn about me even though she says she does.
I used to communicate with an amazing group of people who i had fun around and i could always vent to on discord. My mom didn’t understand how important they were to me, and took the app away for talking to strangers. Mom, I met people that i could trust. Why did you take them away? We’re currently trying to find a new way to communicate and I’m really hoping the next one will work. If you get an online friend, please make sure that they never get taken away because they are amazing ❤️
"you're so skinny" "You're so dumb" "you can't help, you're a kid" i fucking love my parents 😍 they're so sweet. And they feed me shit with zero warning
if you need help go talk to your friends, family and people you trust, life can be great and will get even better after the pandemic ends so do not waste it and life have a lot of good experiences and memories that are gonna make you think it was all worth it, a lot of people who tried to end their lives remember that they changed their mind and are happy to be alive, if necessary search for help in the internet and if you can afford it call a therapist "ending your life is a permanent solution to a temporary problem" also do not be shy to call for help...
I wanna get tested for adhd and I wanna also go to a therapist for my mental health but I haven’t actually told my mom about how I feel about anything as long as I can remember, I don’t think that’s good.
As a 12 year old I can relate to majority of the things you listed but I never thought I would have depression. My best guess is that it sprong from my mother's passing and my dad not really understanding me the way I wish he did but I behave in school and don't have much trouble with my grades aside from math but I really think it's the fact that three family members I was close to being my mom grandfather and great grandfather passed away and my dad really isn't helping
@ČřøwŰñŤøłđ ofc, actually told my friend yd morning at 12:30- 3:30 abt my depression. Told her i would most lkly wake up and not remember thinking it was a dream. She didn't believe me and sr enough i did. She finally got around 2 telling me nearly a day ltr. Starting 2 recall what happened nkw tho. Nvr seen her cry, however as i am remembering now, she cried. It hurts and even tho i no longer have 2 lie 2 her, she just won't wvr rly understand. She can't help either. So i hope u find someone u can tell. I've been getting comfort from music and random people on yt till now. Took me almost a yr 2 tell her. So if u evr want 2 comment i will do my best 2 answer.
makes alot of sense considering youtube is a place that children can explain there emotions without being yelled and screamed at by their parents for absolutely no f*cking reason.
I feel like the main problem with children telling their parents how they feel is that once they tell what's bothering them the parents start scolding them and treating it as a joke. Just because you've had a good physical health life doesn't mean you can't get depression.
@@finn_bee_ Same for me. I suffered from undiagnosed eisoptrophobia. When I told my parents they just brushed it off. As an eight year old I spent 2 years of my life with hallucinations and quiet anxiety attacks. Looking back it's pretty messed up.
Yeah I agree, my mums the exact same way, when I tried overdose she just laughed and kept scolding me how they would pump my stomach and that my action could've get her arrested. Can't wait till im an adult 😥👍
Pov: ur parents say that u can talk to them but u know u can't without it turning into a lecture so u just repress emotions and not talk to anyone ✨🕺✨😀
Exept random people on the internet of course because , parents don't give shit about your emotion they will gladly watch you burn to the ground due to depression/anxiety because their answer to why is: video games
This honestly made me cry. I am 11 years old and I’m honestly going through most of these. EDIT. Still makes me cry a bit. Still 11 years old. And recently been having signs of BPD
If most of us show this to our parents they would get mad saying that that's bad without caring, we're to young to be depressed or it's just dumb. I think most of us are actually kids who could relate to this, including me
But it makes sense for a parents perspective what do you have to be worried about? (I was just saying for an adults perspective, I am not an adult and I don't agree with this)
@@koolkidhav || First: The mentality of my parents mad at me because I'm searching for help. Second: They don't care if I'm ok. Third: They're gonna blame the cellphone when it is a distraction for the real world. Four: School. Five: FAMILY BEING ASSHOLES AND TOXIC FUCKS.
@@koolkidhav || Also: Kids with problems with their parents or parents with problems. Also LGBT kids with fear. (Like me). And other "reasons" for not get accepted. Isn't that enough for you?
The weirdest thing I hear is that "kids can't be depressed/have anxiety/have any other mental health problem." Trauma doesn't come with an age limit. It's perfectly normal for kids to have problems, and don't try to invalidate their emotions by saying they're "to young."
Its like saying “you cant be tired or exhausted! I work 8 hours a day and im not as exhausted and you’re over exaggerating it to be!” even though children can be sleepy from staying up too late or be exhausted from doing something energy consuming. My mom did this to me 4 hours before im typing this because i was sleepy from staying up too late, also whenever i get tired from doing exhausting things like hoping around to make my baby sister happy, i get scolded because im tired and i want to take a break. Its astonishing how dense most parents can be nowadays.
All of this happened to me at middle school. Now I've dropped out, and never talk to my parents about anything emotional. I've reached the point where all I need is ten seconds of standing still to compose myself. A family member could literally be going through the worst time of their life, and I'll be in the kitchen eating a sandwich of garlic and butter. This how I turned out to be.
that is rude. all parents should love and listen to their children. u shouldnt have to be greatful tht they let u live there. its the bare minimum that is expected of every parent to house and feed u. i hope u are doing better.
@@Ashes652 mhm, they wanted children for a reason so they need to listen to us. We listen to them all the time so we want something back, we want them to listen and not say we are lieing or making up excuses, and not always say they raised us. You had kids so fucking listen and acknowloge our struggles. (Sorry about my grammar i turned off auto correct😅)
According to my parents, there's no such thing as depression. They think I'm very happy but every night I cry myself to sleep. I'm just barely hanging on
One of the best things my mother ever told me she told me because I was in my teens and very depressed. Depression in teens is not new. It is at least thousands of years old. My mother told me, "If anyone tells you these (teen years) years are the best years of your life, don't believe it!" That kept me aluve, literally, through those years. Sometimes, one needs to know "this, too, shall pass." I have chronic clinical depression. I did not take meds for it until I was in my early forties and unable to function. It was not because my parents didn't think meds could help me when I was young. The medicines were not there! My point is, as children and teens, we need help, but we also need to be assured that depression as a teen or even child, is not unheard of and that this will pass. And that if we need help the parents do a thorough job of making sure they are bringing the child to a psychologist who is not a "one saw fits all" with a preset idea of treatment modalities. And, that the person is well-respected in the mental health community and is not a psychologist because of his or her unresolved issues. But to also make sure their own parenting is one of firm love. There are times when the " professional" makes matters worse, not better.
*To any parents watching this:* I’m a teenager. I’m depressed. My parents don’t know because it’s hard for me to articulate how I feel. I don’t want to cause problems. I don’t feel as though I can talk to them about the hate that I have for myself. I think that this is due to the fact that we haven’t built up much trust. They don’t let me do many things like go to parties or sleep over with friends. They helicopter me and control my life. I think that it is why I have trouble opening up. Please, make it a goal for yourself to build an honest, open relationship with your kid. It could save their life.
"why are you always mad?" "you're always iritated" "you look like you don't even have a will to live" "stop being lazy" "stop looking so down" i wonder why . . .
Its actually sad now that i think about it how my math teacher had me go to school counselor cause she noticed my symptoms of depression all because she saw me sleeping in her class everyday. At the time i got really mad at her though not outwardly. But looking back on it now...she actually was the only person who cared enough to try and get me help. Welp now im crying.
When I was nine, I just felt so empty and alone. I couldn’t help but cry. I was a good student, and I got high grades. My grades started to drop and I got anger issues, well, apparently since I get mad so easily. I stopped eating, didn’t want to socialise with anyone. I just wanted to stay alone. Now I’m 13 and I’m still suffering from these problems. I would like help but I just can’t find the heart to face my parents. I feel like they would be disappointed. One day I will tell them, that’s for sure.
hey, i’m 13 as well.. it’s hard for me to cry but i can relate to everything else, i have so much shit going on but i just feel so emotionless and empty, unable to cry..
Imagine watching this so you can hide depression better- I'm sure like 90% of us are kids watching this right now... Edit: Thanks for all the likes ❤I'm so sorry for everyone who has been or is going through a hard time.. it will get better try to tell someone you trust and know that people love you, You are a amazing beautiful person and you are perfect just the way you are and never change for anyone they aren't worth your time if they don't love you for who you are 💖
What’s the worst thing somones told you when you were venting to them, here’s my two. “Ugh, you complain all the time you could just be happy or die alone.” And “Stop faking it for attention, there’s no way somone as young as you can be depressed!”
@@TiredFryingAnimations I was a school and me and my friends were on a bench even tho some other kids told us to go away. They were like “Gacha lives matter!” Two of us played gacha but I don’t think they knew and then said “suicide squad!” I doubt this means anything and I’m complaining but I felt kinda offended by it.
@@TiredFryingAnimations I mean, I also love Gacha so much that I made content but there are other people that hate me for doing it, probably the community. Just don't let that stop you.
I’m a child (Around the age of 12) and 7/8 things were positive. My mom once “talked” about it and nothing more happened because “I was being bullied and that’s normal for kids” “Since the bullying is over we no longer need to find help for you”. One time even the teacher suggested I should go to the school psychologist and my mom was like “My child does not need a psychologist. All it needs is to stop reacting to the bullies”
@@asomeoneperson4608 Yeah, but it won't completely fix it. Sorta a coping mechanism I'd consider it. But parents generally treat it like a fix-all, when it isn't. Still, it can be helpful for a lot of people so it is a good thing to recommend if possible
my dear mum has always told me "you can talk to me' and "you know you can tell me anything right?" but those were just empty words, as a child not only did i take care of myself and my siblings but also my mom. Whenever i'd try and talk to her she would just start venting about her own problems, i wasnt even allowed to have wishes, because she would find a way to destroy them and dismiss them. So most of the time i kept them to myself, and i swore that when i'll be older ill become a therapist so i can help people like me. I am curently 12 years old and just passing into 5th grade,and i swear to keep my promise that ill become better and that i'll help people like me
0:35 they be saying "ur too young to have depression u haven't been through wat we did mf go back to ur room bitch" that's wat makes it much and much more worse and they also say "it's that goddamn mfing phone " then they take it away and they make it much mooore worse and then they give punishments like "grounded" and "not going out playing w kids/bff's for---(period)" , "taking phone " they don't take u to a psychiatrist to get sure wat they is just make it much worse and when it's too late they say why didn't u come to us in the beginning most parents r like this luckily ---- I think --- my parents aren't like this
"You can tell me anything okay?" "Youre just overreacting, you don't have depression. I had a much harder childhood than you." Edit: I actually meant to write this like 2 months ago, but I actually misread what DID was. I didn't quite understand it so I apologise if you got offended by anything I said here. Thanks
I hear similar thing often. Instead of "I had much harder childhood than you" I hear "It's okay to feel this way sometimes, it happens to everyone your age, so it's not a big deal." Bruh.
As a father of three teenagers, I've found tremendous value in playing games with my kids. At first, they were resistant; they preferred their phones and stayed isolated. So, my wife and I played on our own until they gradually became curious and joined us. Now, games have become a regular part of our family life, serving as a wonderful doorway to connection and communication.
Tips for parents: When your child wants to talk to you. *Listen.* And I don't mean the 'you know you can always talk to me, right?' empty promises kind of listening. I mean hear what your kid has to say, ignore your first reaction to scold, or lecture, or deny, or whatever, and think. Think for as long as you need. And when you've made up your mind on the issue, think of how to best express it to your child. Make sure you word it so it doesn't come across rude, insulting, criticizing, etc. Make sure your child feels heard, like you actually think about what they say, and not have to be afraid of a negative reaction. And besides making them feel that way - make that the actual truth. You have a child, you chose to keep that child instead of aborting or adopting them, the least you can do is raise them right. And, by the way, no, keeping your helpless 4-year-old alive like a decent freaking human being does NOT mean they owe you anything. That just means you didn't neglect a helpless toddler and let them malnourish themselves to death. Showing basic human decency and not kicking your kid out and keeping a roof over their head means nothing up to AT LEAST 18, and even then I'd say your on thin ice until their 20s. Sorry if any of this was hard to understand 😅
Hmmm , can you said that to my father who toke sh!t about me wherever I'm , late( you know when they cell for you to just get them something) or don't answer him( because I don't like to toke with him) , ha...he start to cell me mute
When your mother won’t let you tell your doctor that you’ve been having thoughts of suicide and that you’ve self harmed because she thinks you just googled the symptoms and want to be ‘trendy’- When you can’t talk to a counselor without your mother asking what you told them while yelling at you for it- When you’ve been disassociating but your mom says that she is a nurse and knows you don’t- When you are constantly told not to cry and yelled at for any tears- When you try to open up and your mother says you talk too much and need to shut up- When you starve yourself and your mom still calls you fat- When you get scared and hide from your dad so he punches a hole in your door- When you listen to your parents constantly argue and your mother complains about your father then refuses to get a divorce or see a marriage counselor- When you got bullied and pushed in a river yet your mom says they’re flirting with you- When you attempted suicide and your mom tells you you’re an attention seeking whore- When you get slapped for trying to defend yourself- AND THATS ON MY LOVING FAMILY!
@@kikoushii8400 She tried, but then blamed the therapist saying that the therapist talked to my father before their session and that my father and I just wanted her sent away. I try not to blame her because her father used to abuse her, she likes to say she had it way worse and I should be grateful
@@bakugoukatsuki7360 You have the right to be angry at both of them, while they obviously have their own hardships and reasons, that’s no excuse to abuse their own child. They’re adults and should know better, there’s no justifiable reason for what they do. I hope that you’re able to get support, and good people the lean back on, because you deserve it.
Yeah And the worst part about my case is that I've been showing the symptoms got as long as I remember. But I'm pretty damn sure that 10yearolds cant book therapy, and I'm also scared of therapists and I dont know Why
I couldn’t help but crying during this video. I have a bunch of these symptoms and I’m nearly positive that it’s depression. I don’t know how to describe it, but it’s like a sadness and a feeling of no self worth that I can’t shake.
I cried too. I don't know how to tell my parents cuz they will not believe me. They'll think I'm overreacting or doing this as an excuse for bad grades. I literally don't know what to do right now. Anyway, this was 2 months ago, I hope you're doing better now.
@@IamBored69 not much better, but thanks for asking 😊 I’m sorry you are going through this too. I’m sorry your parents won’t believe you. Tbh, I’m not sure mine will believe me if I say anything. The best I can do is try to find something I’m good at and cling to it. Something to boost my self worth. If that tip helps feel free to share it with others
@@quessiant I hope things get better... Honestly thats all we can do at this point, just do what you're good, to boost our confidence yk. and yeah, ty that helped.
i trust strangers on the internet more than I trust my parents sometimes, not an actual "trust", but a trust where i can vent to someone without being scared of the consequences. i guess it's because i could run away from any fear or any bad reactions online, but i can't in person, idk
