Anxiety and Depression: What's the Difference? 

What time is it where you're from and what are you thinking about? Comment below =)

The thing is, you don't wanna be sleep but you don't wanna be awake. You don't want to eat, but you don't want to be hungry. You don't want to be around people, but you don't want to be alone. You don't want to do anything, but you don't want to do nothing. What you really want to do is stop existing, but you can't do that without dying, and you don't really want to do that either.. You should know how precious you are. Darling, even the stars would smile on a soul like yours. 💛

Depression is basically not giving a shit about anything. Anxiety is caring to much about literally everything. Put them together you have one hell of a mindset.

*Anxiety* is characterised by persistent worry or fear *Depression* tends to be characterised by low mood, feelings of hopelessness, low self-esteem, and in some cases, thoughts of self-harm or suicide.

Depression: Sadness over the past Anxiety: Worry over the future

Anxiety : helplessness Depression : hopelessness

Aniexty: you're afraid to live. Depression: you don't want to live.

I have been depressed for a long time, but after taking shrooms few months ago, l feel much happier and highly motivated and my ADHD gone , lost a ton of anxiousness and had a few epiphanies about how I should live my life. I decided to buy an ounce for backup, but haven’t yet felt the need to take any more since then.

I kinda feel like the music was too loud to concentrate

As someone with GAD and MDD, here’s how it is for me: 1. My anxiety grows and grows, but my brain doesn’t have the want or desire to tell others. 2. Due to #1, it boils up and I break down in an anxiety attack, which leads to a long stage of depression. Typically it’s double the time crying. 3. I overthink a lot, and that can also go into depressive thoughts. 4. I feel like I can do everything, but then lose all that energy in an instant. 5. Mental slowing down. That’s about it for now.

I can't think of one person who really wants to hear about my depression and anxiety. I hide it well.

Its funny howAll the time I thought I was growing up shy turns out I was growing up with anxiety

And when you have both, like me, then your life is a literal hell...

My mom always says: "If you feel depressed, you live on the past, if you feel anxious, you live in the future." This saying has helped me a lot. Whenever I feel negatively, I try to think about the exact moment I'm living and stop worrying about mistakes I've made or I'm going to make. I know this maybe doesn't help people with a bad mental illness, since I have only very slight depression and anxiety, but I hope it helps even a little

“the need to go to the bathroom frequently” me, in the bathroom: 😳

Depression: I want to die, Anxiety: But what if you do?

Anxiety : cares too much Depression: don’t care at all Both : ?¿????¿¿¿??

"Anxiety and depression are related in the same way as are fear and grief. We fear a coming evil; we grieve over one that has occurred."

I can’t remember where I heard this but it’s truth for me: Why do depression and anxiety go so well together? Because even mental illnesses are better at relationships than I am.

As someone who suffers from both a severe anxiety and depression disorder, I just want to thank you for putting the time and effort together to make this video. I usually don’t like to talk about it and really can’t talk about it because not many people in my life understand it sadly. But I hope with this video others will understand and won’t have to suffer for so long like I have.

Unfortunately my daughter suffers from anxiety that’s to years of being exposed to her dad. We were finally able to block him from her but the damage was done. She has episodes (attacks) whenever one too many things are emotionally pulling at her. Usually something minor will trigger the pending avalanche. I have been educating myself on the subject in hopes of building her back up mentally and emotionally and so far it seems to be working. Thank you for this! I noticed the music, good choice in tempo.

I love how this comes out the day I have my first concert in front of a panel with a live audience of strangers. Two years ago, I had a massive screw up during evaluations, (memory slip) which caused me to have a panic attack the next year. This isn't the same concert, but I'm hoping not to freak out now because the stakes feel that much higher. (If you guys are going to give advice [you probably aren't] I don't that breathing exercises don't do much for me)

I suffer with both depression and anxiety. I often come on your guys page so I can send videos to my partner to help him understand mey mental health better and honestly, they help a lot.

For a second, I imagined Patrick Star reading the title.

I love the video, but the background music shifts randomly and is way to distracting

I can't find a source anywhere for any good psychedelics in my area, I suffer some pretty bad depression and i got a chance to try K and man it was a miracle substance, I felt free,the only high or euphoria was from the relief of my vices being released, that's exactly what it did

people are so strong, it's inspiring.

Thank you for inspiring and exploring the true essence of life infront of us everytime..you help to become more strong..Today my channel crossed 1k subscribers..during the times when I felt I can't make it..your videos were always there to help me.

This is helpful. I am going through dark right now but I don't think I have depression or anxiety. This is helping me to understand my friends a lot more thank you ur vids always cheers me up and helps me in a lot of way!

Anxiety- fear that you're going to die. Depression- wanting to die.

1:41 I paused few times to make sure these sounds are from video and not somewhere else

I relate to this.I suffer from anxiety and depression for a few years now and have never really opened up abt it.Had countless thoughts of suicide and almost took my own life but I was strong enough to go through it.Lately things have been different as I've found new ppl(friends)that understand me and help me out and I'm working on it myself as well.I'm recovering slowly now.And I hope that whoever that's suffering the same thinh and reading this dont give up in life and keep fighting through it all.Life's tough but there r better days ahead.

I think I have both :( I feel sad,hopeless, useless and more.. I can't even eat and sleep..

Depression: i want to die.. Anxiety: im afraid of dying..

I have all the symptoms from videos I have seen from this channel. I overwork alot ,keeping myself busy all the time because I feel like something is eating me up.That of I dont finish it,tomorrow I will mess up again.And when I rarely take breaks, past trauma pops in and makes me have a break down every single time. I talked about it with friends,but they just respond with a laugh and "Yeah I feel sad sometimes". I am suicidal and everyday I just wish I die in my sleep for no damn reason. I fear the past, I fear the future...And Im tired. I have gone to 3 psychologists and none of them help me (not to mention one of them only cared about the money). Even now that I write this...I keep thinking "delete this comment.Noone would care to listen to your story". Maybe I'll delete it later....but I still dont know if I really have depression and anxiety or I just "pretend" all this...my classmates used to say "You just overthink,stop it" and my mother "it's just a phase".....I need help....but Im lost and scared...about doing the same mistakes I did in the past in the future...I get depressed from the past.....and anxious of the future... Im sorry you had to read all this.Please continue your day/night. You deserve a proper rest and I hope you get it💕

I really loved the illustration of anxiety... finally I can show people how it feels... Thank you!

Ty for making this!! My mom suffers from anxiety and depression. It makes me feel so alone when she has a panic attack or feels very depressed. It makes me feel so much better to know she isnt alone and there’s multiple people suffering from it. My mom has lots of these symptoms.

I just found I have depression so now I have depression and anxiety and dyslexia and ADHD and OCD life is great

I have both, and the thing Is, that you can't afford yo care anymore, but you HAVE TO care because they will laugh at you and point you out, and even if they don't, what IF?

I found this somewhere.. " actually, you dont wanna be lost, you just need to be found" And it hits me hard

Anxiety: do thing Depression: too tired to do thing Anxiety: do thing or u failure Depression: you're a failure anyways Me: idk what you want me to do about that at 3.am

I have really bad anxiety and depression. When I don't had in something on time or don't get 100% on a test, I literally had an anxiety attack. I literally almost blacked out a few times and sometimes, I literally start crying in school. It was so embarrassing. I hate my life. Can I just die now?

They are so different and yet overlaps like Venn Diagrams. If you have both, it can violently tear your mind in two directions. I have both, and more. You nail it on the head when you talk about irritability and so much else. You're one of my favorite channels on YT.

2:47 i didnt even realize this was a symptom from my depression, i thought i was just losing my mobility like an elderly person

3:15 that smile worths a thousand hug

"some anxiety symptoms are: ...the need to go to the bathroom frequently" me, on the toilet for the third time in the hour: 😳😳😳

Thanks for this! I’ve been Diagnosed with a Sever Anxiety Disorder as well as Depression and this has helped me understand it more

Why does this video have so few likes, comments, and views? :/

I have anxiety disorder but not depression. My mind is too active, I have racing thoughts that completely drain me and I have massive difficulty in controlling them. I care too much, think too much and take burden of everything on myself. Mentally I am worn out at all times. My mind is not still, it's racing and accordingly I get palpitations and I can't sleep because of this excessive mental activity.

I have anxiety and depression

I used to suffer from depression but got over it and I might be suffering anxiety right now, but with your videos I can understand more all that happens and can find a way to move on or get over everything that comes in my way Your videos are really helpfull and I'm sure a lot of people think the same, keep up the great work

The sudden onset of the music from nowhere gave me anxiety.... but I realize I have more cptsd symptoms. So I jump a lot at sound. So tiring.

I think i have mental issues like anxiety because of what ive been through. I had a lot of childhood trauma. I knew i had to find a way to deal with that without making things worst... So i started to write stories, novels also drawned a lot! Now im about to publish my first book! :D

What about feeling so stressed, you actually have thoughts about not wanting to see yourself fail and having suicidal thoughts?...

Love the video and topic! Shares like this help so many and make a difference to more than we know! Found inspiration here for my channel and vids! All the support and keep doing you!

Having both is exhausting. I know that feeling.

This channel help me to recognize the problems I have, and in sometimes show me problems that I thought I not had.

I’ve been struggling with anxiety for a while. Recently…I have lost motivation to do work. I think I have some depression?

I kept thinking about the future and thinking to much since I messed up a lot.

One of the worst parts of having both, for me at least, is when anxiety and depression start arguing with each other. Oh, and sometimes optimism likes to join in

I had severe clinical depression and anxiety. Though by therapy I overcome my anxiety, I still have same depression and it's not going anywhere and I'm getting sucked into the dark more and more. Still very suicidal also.....😞

So I have both?

Oh my gosh, the art in this video is incrediblly beautiful!! The voice works really well along with it. The music change at 1:43 and onward makes it really hard to focus on the rest of thr video.

I was diagnosed with anxiety when I was about 7. I use to get a lot of panic attacks until the beginning of this year when my I thought my anxiety was getting better. I moved schools this year and I was half way through the year when I just had panic attacks every day for about a week straight. Since then my anxiety got worse and I started getting multiple symptoms of depression. I have insomnia and frequently have suicidal thoughts. I have not acted on these thoughts but have came close too doing so. And I’ve told people that I have depression but I don’t think they take it seriously, and I’m too scared too tell my family/friends about my suicidal thoughts since I’m only 12 they will probably not believe me about that. So yeah, I’m kinda a mess

Depression is like whenever depression starts its a end-less sadness that will leave the victim to dying aswell so this video makes more sences

Anyone here who has anxiety and they keep feeling their heartbeat all the time?

I’ve been diagnosed with MDD. I never have energy to do things. It’s exhausting to even respond to text messages. Phone calls are worse. But the most exhausting thing is to actually talk to people at school. I can’t concentrate at school. I can’t get myself to read for exams. Homework I can do somewhat. All I do in my free time is sit on my bed and watch Netflix. Or sometimes I just stare at the wall. I hope that some day I will be happy again. And I can enjoy life. I wish everyone who is struggling with something in their life right now the strength to get through it/pass it.

When they explained what depression was at the beginning o was like, oh wait, I do that.

Love the animation and the warm colours!

Isn't narcissism the opposite of depression? Since depression makes you feel worthless and nothing and narcissism makes you think that you're the best and most superior person in the world and that you are extremely important and think really highly of yourself.

My cause of depression (was) unfortunate fate and bad life choices... It kicked me while i was down. Life doesnt give you a break. I felt depressed, i had no dream to push me forward, no love or rather blind to it. Fortunately for me the cure of a 4 month long depression was finding a reason... What i am fighting for or striving for. What can allow me to say... This is me. Wether its love, success, pride, power or anything that would make you feel satisfaction. (A place to belong, something you would gladly die for) is mostly what people desire imo. Remember this: There is no shame in being weak... The shame is in staying weak.

*Depression is a general sadness about life. Anxiety is more like panic about something specific.* I'm surprised if people wouldn't know the difference :)

I had anxiety , and then I had depression and anxiety, I got rid of my depression but I still have anxiety, I really really don’t want to go back there again. I don’t want that again so I fight my anxiety every day

You don't have to have depression to have anxiety. You don't have to have anxiety to have depression.

The artstyle for each of the newer videos have grown so much! Wow!

What happing with the music at 1:42

Thank you for all you're doing on this channel. Please add subtitles next time. Love.

My anxiety makes me want to die. It's hard to live everyday

I only knew I had anxiety until I watched this but some symptoms are from depression... That helped a lot fir me to figure out if it was only anxiety or not

I loved it

I have both anxiety and depression, and i'm only 14 , i have insomnia too, and it's making me lose hope in life

3:22 i WISH someone would hug me like that

I wasn't sure which one is better so I've decided to treat myself and went with both

How is everyone so fast to get here

For a long time, I refused to believe I had anxiety or depression. I didn’t want to search it up or research it, because I was afraid that maybe I would have it. When I finally started going in deeper reading of what the conditions are, and what they meant. I soon realized that I didn’t have just Anxiety or Depression. I had both.

Damn I feel attacked that's my life

They sadly often go hand in hand! Great channel by the way!

Better stay like this: 0 dislikes.

I’m fighting with depression and anxiety and I don't know how long can I stand this.

Nobody: 14 year old girls in the comments: I HaVe aNxIEtY aNd dEPprEsIoN pAY aTenTiOn tO mEh

I don't know whether I have anxiety, or panic attacks. All I know is, I feel like my heart is going to pound it's way out of my chest, and a feeling of impending doom. The first time it happened, I was sure I was having a heart attack. I really thought I was going to die. It also makes my extremities quiver and shake. I wouldn't be able to hold my hands still to save my life. Usually a couple of shots of rum will quiet it down a bit. Other than that, I am miserable when it happens.

Thank you for this. The most helpful was that anxiety is focused on future events while depression is more focused on what happened in the past. Makes so much sense.

My whole life iv been in an unstable house but just now realized it last year, I never no if what I do will get a “good job” or yelled at for how my mistakes will cost them. So I’m nown as the “quiet and lazy kid” but I’m not lazy, I’m HSP, definitely have depression and anxiety, I no I need professional help but I am to afraid to ask because I don’t no what the reaction will be. Thx for making these vids it’s helped me realize a lot about me❤️

I've had depression symptoms for about a week and a half, and today i just found out that my cat died last night. This video helped me realize that I'm not at fault or too weak. Thank you.

I feel like such a bad friend, my best friend has been suffering with things like this for years but I always made it’s about me. I wish I could take back so much but now I can’t.. I wish that I wish there for her more and I was more supportive. Now she’s moving so fast in friendships that I’m scared I’m going to get left behind, I just am happy she serpents herself with people that can help more than I ever have. She never will read this, I know that but I still wish I could say all of this to her face. I wish I wouldn’t be replaced but I understand that it’s probably the best for me to try not to hurt her or others anymore.

I like how there is chill piano music in the background Thank you

I feel like many depressed people have trouble feeling/showing emotions and people with anxiety are overemotional. I believe you can have signs of both but with one more dominant than the other. Possibly due to genetics. For me it's anxiety. Worrying about my sleep. I'm scared to go crazy if I don't sleep enough which in turn puts stress on my sleep which makes me have trouble sleeping etc. Fun thing. If I'm just on the couch or in the bus or even a forest and I feel no pressure to fall asleep than I fall asleep easily. So I guess it's not really pure insomnia that some might have but just purely overthinking every little detail.

I am a 28 year old male and just recently i was diagnosed with depression. I was always told my mood changes are my fault, like me being lazy or too angry. Now that I know what i have, i can get help. I want my loved ones to understand me better, so i can support them as well. We all go through something.

This is a beautiful, although very unchanging style. I live that it's not moving anywhere, it focuses my attention on the video. But please make the volume of the music quieter next time xx

I am in high school and in three and a half months I will be appearing for the most important exam of my life . For the past four months I have been struggling a lot, I only go to college for three days . After researching about the struggle i self diagnosed myself with mild anxiety and depression . Depression affected my overall life , my social and personal life . This greatly affected my studies due to which i can't concentrate neatly . I have friends but not 'THE' friends to whom I can talk to and who understands my problem . I am also afraid to talk to my parents . So I am alone fighting this problem . I hope when my exam ends in March I will get better . Praket 8/11/2019
