11 Things Hidden Depression Make You Do

Some people with depression might always look sad or cry a lot or never be happy. But the truth is, there are a lot more layers to depression than we think. Hidden depression is just one of these many presentations, and those who have it may be conditioned to act in protection of their symptoms and habits that allow them to continue hiding their depression. This video will help you learn about few things hidden depression makes you do.
Some people might even mistake depression for laziness. To raise awareness, we also made a video on the signs you're depressed, not lazy: • 6 Signs You're Depress...

Ask your pcp about a therapist to talk to because it really does help!! You will learn coping skills, why you feel the way you do and how to deal with those feelings. Because, that’s what we do , push the feelings down because it hurts too much or we don’t know what to do with them and at some point in your life, and trust me on this, you will have a major event happen and then your world will come crushing down!! You will have no choice but to deal with the feelings and so much more at that point!! It really is important for you to start therapy now . Not trying to scare you I just don’t want anyone to go through what it did. Best of luck and much love 💚 ; if you have any questions I’m here

As someone who has all symptoms mentioned in this video, I want to tell you one thing you got wrong. It doesn't happen suddenly. To me it's been happening for four years already slowly getting worse. I'm better now, watching your channel and slowly trying to put myself back together. I don't think I will go to a doctor. At first I wanna try to do it on my own. Thank you so much for your content. It is a life saver.

[@kannonfps]

Seeing a doctor doesnt mean you'll be put on meds unless you want to or that you are so deep that is the only current "quick fix" i was so scared to go see doctors or therapist because i believed they would try to put me on meds but in the end they didnt because i don't wanted to. Maybe in other country it's different but at least in france or for me that's how it went and i'm glad i went to see one... they actually found that i have ADHD which explain a lot of other shit and now i'm trying to get on my feet, without meds but with better habits and a stronger will

[@ericcoverdale9523]

Also, seeing a doctor will only help IF you share EVERYTHING you are dealing with. I was always worried about what they might think of me, so I barely broke the service and failed to share what was truly happening to me. I write a lot of short stories and poems, for the moment they are helping me get through each day. Baby steps.

[@palpasatimalsena]

Yeah actually If u have realised it that you are going through it then I will suggest u to go to doctor immediately as you might end up making few mistakes in relationships and the relationship u have. So, I will rather suggest u to go there as I tried to fix it on my own but I realised I missed so much of myself after a few time and it has become more worst. So don't do this mistake if u want your relationships to be better with yourself and loved ones. Thank u

[@monolinny1817]

Reading this reply section kinda get me thinking about seeing a doctor now 'cause I think I'm having every problems addressed in the video.

I relate to the "asking for help and immediately covering it up" sign. when I told mom she said I'm fine and I don't need to go to anyone so I gave up on trying. I was able to tell about my problems to my friends, but they're not able to help me. I tried to go to our school therapist for a month now, but every time I tried to go to her I just... Couldn't. My mind told me that "your problems are irrelevant so don't waste her time" or "it's nothing, you can deal with it by yourself" so I don't go. I know I need help, but I just can't tell any professionals my problems. It's like there's some sort of a web between me and the people that can help me that won't let me through and I'm sick of it

[@CynymonGirl]

I kinda know how you feel. I know I need professional help, but when I find it, I'm not totally honest or authentic. Examle: I don't tell them that I binge drink. I feel like I'm covering some of my problems up.

[@lauraleealice]

If you just would tell all that to therapist that you just wrote, it would be more than enough to get started. Professional is able to carry on from there and quide on. Don't give up!

[@blitzboy2934]

Same. I had a mental breakdown back in 7th grade and told my dad I wanted to kill myself after he threatened to have me sent off to a military school because my grades were shit. They have literally never brought it up again, and nothing has changed about it. My dad still has his gun safe open close to 75% of the time, and nearly everything in there is loaded (I’ve checked :) ), and when it is closed there are times I just walk up to it and wish I knew the combination. It feels like they don’t care at all when I try to get help and they ignore it. I brought up the fact that I might have problems after telling my diagnosed friends about my symptoms since I have no way to truly know. Even after all of that, my parents refuse to let me get checked out for anything, and I don’t really tell them anything about my feelings or what I’m going through since they just ignore it.

[@sharonsalyer4912]

Please don't give up. There are ways to get through this. It may feel like you're the only one that has gone through this and that you're insufficient in handling this but unfortunately it's been experienced by humans throughout history. It's very hard, but the life often is. I would recommend you talk to someone, possibly a school counselor. They're familiar with depression and probably have coping techniques or may be able to refer you to better help. Life is worth living, even if some days don't feel like it. Please try and seek help. At the very least, research it on the internet. It can explain how depression works, coping techniques and that you're not alone in dealing with it. You are no more less than, than if you were diabetic, had high blood pressure, needed glasses,ect. Our bodies are often imperfect, but that shouldn't define you. We just learn to compensate for the things that are less perfect. I'll bet you have a heart for those who struggle in this world. A compassion. Hang in there. You Can get through this. 🫂

It's been a few years since my first diagnosis with depression. At the time, I was told to take more vitamin D and was given free sessions with a psychiatrist- I went to a school for disabled people during this point of time and the psychologist there was helpful, but being there made me uncomfortable at times. I realize that in my current stage of life, what makes my depression worse is actually found in the different behaviors that are listed in this video. My current therapist has been very helpful in more ways than one... Sometimes though, I go through periods of not talking to him as much as I should, thinking that I can handle my problems on my own.

@Kendall Henderson It's so sad how a lot of people can relate to this. Where I'm from when anyone who is just sad they say "I'm depressed" when they're not they don't know the difference. I wish when influencers or activists talk about mental illness to also talk about how much bad parenting affects. You can put a post asking if they grew up with any type of abuse from their parents there would be hundreds and thousands of people who would comment. Sometimes I think parents have a privilege when we say that they are abusing us to other people. Everybody I talked to about my abuse from parents never took it seriously and they tell me that they are "disciplining" me. It concerns me about this generation.

I think it's actually healthy to think about the purpose of life and our role (if any) in it. I constantly think about it and have gone through lots of books and watched quite a few vids relating to reality, religion, purpose, universe and our own history. Being obsessed about it can be a sign of depression as you finally realise that you are but a pin prick on a ball of rock and lava, spinning through space without so much as one answer as to why we are here. Some I have spoken to usually give it the old 'ignorance is bliss' rubbish, but that does not mean it is any less true. I have suffered with depression for over 30 years and because of my abuse as a child I know I will never get over it, but I understand it more now which helps.

[@fxreart]

This video really opened my eyes, I’ve been feeling insanely depressed for over a year and I’ve gotten negative self respect, sometimes I just feel like everyone would be better off if I never existed, that I’m nothing but a burden and everyone hates me for it, even though people don’t really hate me, and I receive lots of love from family and friends, but my mind just negates all of that and makes me hate myself, I feel guilty for feeling sad sometimes, I wish my friends knew how I felt but I’m not good at opening up so it’s all building up inside of me, I’m not very good at opening up, I have trouble relaxing or clearing my mind, whenever I get the opportunity I unwillingly flood my mind with negative thoughts about myself some true and some not so much, but it all just feels so real, I haven’t told anyone much about my feelings, just tiny fragments, I don’t know how to open up to close friends because I’m afraid of how they’ll respond or what they’ll end up thinking of me which is why I’m doing it here, I know it ain’t healthy but it’s all I can do.

[@yadyfig7006]

I recently got diagnosed with Mayor depressive disorder and it has been a roller coaster before and after. Before getting diagnosed I didn’t know it was that bad until it got worst. I was convinced that I didn’t had to get help. I have always been scared to go get help. It was so hard to be vulnerable and talk how I really feel. Decided to go to the college psychologist and I cried in every session, I was (am) all over the place. After a few sessions she suggested a psychiatric evaluation. And here I am, the only people who knows are my boyfriend and sister. I have lost the few friend I had, it affected my college grades, my social life, everything. Today I started my medications after having them and not having the courage to accept that I needed them.

[@justapikminplayer6574]

I had a breakdown when I was in the car with my parents they asked jokingly if I hated them and I responded to them by saying “Hate is a strong word...” and they didn’t like that and started yelling at me and how I should be more grateful about everything they give me and how I should smile more and when I told them about me being worried that there’s something wrong with my mental health they told me that I don’t show any symptoms of having depression or anything like that. They just kept taking and I couldn’t tell them why I thought that they told me and told me over 5 times that I was fine. And I’m okay with writing this because no one will care it’s the internet people always lie and you can’t tell right from wrong or good from bad.

Parents think they know you but you are the only Person that knows you best. You don't need validation from someone else. Your feelings are your feelings. There is no right or wrong. Seek out for professional help to talk. Parent's are probably not the best option for helping you. Because the relationship with parents is often a big part of the issue in the first place. You are your own person. Your own feelings and needs. And you are the one who have to do something about it if you want a change. Take good care of yourself. You are not alone.

I try to be positive but it just feels forced and fake. I zone out a lot and can’t seem to focus on the conversation, or hold eye contact for very long either. I feel so rude but can’t help it, it has gotten a lot worse. Everything seems so detrimental, even the smallest mistakes I make… The other day I believed would be my last, yet for some reason i refuse to believe i need help- because that would make it too real. And family wouldn’t look or talk to me the same. I’m finding every day life increasingly hard to function and I don’t know what to do.. but knowing there are people out there that feel similar makes it less lonely.

But thank you so much. Your videos clearly explain the exact emotions and feeling of helplessness I have been feeling. Brought me to tears that I was understood and heard and not discriminated. Thank you so very much.

I was in a relationship, we were in a traumatic car accident together. One day, I was venting to my aunt about the relationship, 3 years in, after my boyfriend at the time, had been neglecting me, my aunt suggested that I'm mistaking Gratitude for Love. But I was DEEPLY in love, so I thought. It took some time, but I stepped back, and realized that I'm not IN love, but I did love him. I'm forever grateful to him and his family for all they had done for me/us. But I wasn't happy Leaving that relationship took so much weight off of me, I felt like I'd just float away

My sister told me once, when I was in a really BAD spot… “you don’t have to get over anything, you can put it in a box and carry on” it has helped me leaps and bounds. That doesn’t mean I forget, I just don’t let it rule my life.

Good on you sis….

[@rockoyhead4005]

this is stupid people that are depressed can't just cover shit up and get on with their life. The reason they are depressed is because they are overwhelmed. You don't get it.

[@personincognito3989]

Terrible advice. Deal with your feelings. Squishing them down leads to more depression.

[@katielien3778]

to the people who disagree with this, it doesn't mean neglecting and bottling up emotions. It's true, you cant cover up actual depression and expect it to go away like that. It's more like stopping the never-ending path of overthinking problems that seem unsolvable at the moment. We are more than just broken people with problems and mistakes, so defining ourselves that way only makes it worse because you believe it.

Wendy Darling, this practice will eventually manifest into physical ill health. Not addressing your issues openly and honestly with the help of therapy is very harmful. If not now, at some time down the road.

They are many different programs in your area due to income/age and urgency. Seeking help for depresssion can be the very best thing you can do for yourself.Physicians are not always immediately makibg you taking medicatins. If this is not you thing, just be honest!!!is not your bag. There are so many really good therapists and MDs that are super awesome to talk with. Really easy going. ones, more our age, that just talk and learn about you. Some may offer to get labwork done (dont worry, one teeny needle) labwork often has the answer right there.. All im saying is I suffered for 37 years. Then a lady at some lunch funch came up to me and had same story. Get help. Its free. And, YOU GET TO BE HAPPY! 😊☺️my name is Julie and i work in a Mental Health Office for18 years now. Comment me back if you are in an area that you arn’t familiar with depression councilors. I may can help. Eveyone one of you is important! Everyone. Julie in Tx

This video is absolutely spot-on 💯

[@LucyQQQQ]

Its so important to aknowledge other peoples feelings if they admit to being depressed.. Ive been so good at hiding it and always see the positive and have reacted that to others before, and also if I have admitted it myself to someone, its the same thing, or a simple; I've seen you've been down lately, snap out of it! I just really wanna be heard and understood and comforted. Im tired of being strong and always thinking positive.. so glad that that was one of the points here😊

I'm sorry. I am older and I have discovered that I had to learn to mother myself. I say the things to myself that I wish my mom would say to me. It's hard to do at first and you feel silly, but it is really helpful long term. Also, I have found for me that some women, usually ones who never had children, but who mothered me during various stages of my life. These "mothers" are awesome.

What drives my depression is knowing I'll never have someone to fall asleep next to. And waking up with her head resting on my chest.

People tell me I can't have depression because I'm 12 Well I also had to go thru Physical abuse, mental abuse, neglect, being homeless, and self harm issues since before I was 12.

I agree. I’m 12 too, and I have hidden depression too and I understand.

My best friend has depression, she does not talk about her feelings or when she does she laughs/smile with nervosity. I always new she was not feeling good and now that she was diagnosed it help so much to understand her and help her. She does everything in this video everyday, all the time, and I just hope that she'll be able to recover, it must be so hard but you can all do it, overcome it in some ways I'm sure. You are worth it and LOVED and most of the time you don't realize it, but its true. No I can't know how hard it must be, and I'll never know, (hope) but I'm still sure that you can do it, you reading this. I mut stop or I'm gonna cry and write an essay ^^' but yes, I believe in her, and I'll always be there cause that's what friends do right ? :D
