One of the most difficult things about living with depression is pretending everything is ok. Sometimes, looking happy is the best act we put on to hide the pain.

[@crow3370]

I know the feeling all to well I've learned to mask the pain over the years

[@SolitaryIntrovert815]

So real. It can be so hard to explain our feelings to ppl, even the ppl we’re familiar with, they create a “solution” to “fix” the problem. Music helps me tho.

[@Floodsofrage]

Why though?

[@Study-et6ec]

Yes me too. Maybe that's why nobody likes me and I've no friends. Im introvert, hurt by others, have depression idk even know if I really have depression or it's a overthinking. But I never actually enjoyed my life and always felt empty inside. Everything made it hard to socialize. Now I hate people I ignore them on purpose cuz why should I talk to them maybe they will hurt me too and ignore me when I give attention to them. Maybe they will think I am a boring dull person and a stupid ugly person. I just now hate everyone even strangers.

[@Yokubasu]

I didn't even have anything traumatic in my life. I have been depressed for as long as i remember. I literally do not remember when i was not depressed. It's a constant state. And it's very resistive to everything i tried against it. I do not have much hope it will ever change

[@Delusional-K]

Facts..

[@carolina8876]

this can be related to several factors but If you feel that way you probably have dysthymia. It is basically a long lasting form of depression. But there are things you can do to reduce the symptoms. You can start by adding pleasurable activities to your routine and be fully present. I also recommend working in your internal self-talk, sometimes we can be very hard to ourselves. Talking to ourselves like we are our own child will help. But it is always good to go to a health professional for a more personalized treatment. I hope I have helped a little.

[@lexistcipher9017]

Same here, I always just assumed it was genetic

[@Yokubasu]

@@carolina8876 it's not like i do not experience short bouts of joy when i do something fun. But it doesn't last usually. And when i stop doing that pleasurable thing, the shit mood returns and sometimes even worse than it was. Tried going to therapy for a year and even had antidepressants for like three years. Didn't help at all.

[@carolina8876]

@@Yokubasu Maybe you can question yourself. Are these activities pleasurable or are they ways of avoiding reality? When I say pleasurable activities, I mean that every activity you do becomes something pleasurable, even what is not usually considered pleasurable (like doing housework). Also, I know that this is more complex than trying to give solutions on the Internet, but I hope you find the tools you need to feel better. I send you a hug.

For me, the cause of my depression is a bad event in life and feeling lonely all the time. Due to a terrible event in my life, i lost all of my confidence and self-esteem and i gained a bad mental health from there. And despite the fact that I'm not alone most of the time; i still feel lonely every second. It doesn't matter if i am with them or i am alone in bed. So yeah, be careful out there people.

[@SolitaryIntrovert815]

I may not feel as much depression on the outside but the inside is so deep that I can barely feel it. I have moments in my mind and asking myself “am I worth fitting in society?” or “do I matter?” but at the same time I just want to protect myself from extroversion intruders, manipulators etc. Life is still difficult without my mother and my close auntie of mine and I know God will always be here to help.

[@Vishfeast]

For nutrition, just your actual diet can play a big role in your mental health. Just like if you drink alcohol a lot, it kills off the good bacteria in your gut which has been also linked to mental wellbeing. Humans have symbiotic relations with organisms that live in our gut, and we need to make them happy cause they break down the food for us!! Not to mention just eating a balanced amount of calories that fuels your body to properly run. This goes for hydration too.

[@Rafsanul_Haq_96]

I remember always feeling depressed because of my Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). The urge to perform compulsions completely ruined my life, and I still recall how intrusive thoughts greatly disturbed me. But one day, I decided to confront my intrusive thoughts without fear. I told myself, 'My intrusive thoughts can't stop me from being happy and living a normal life. Even if the worst situation comes true, I will still do whatever is best for me.' This gave me the motivation to face my intrusive thoughts without fear. Since then, I have recovered! *If anyone is struggling with OCD, I would suggest following "OCD and Anxiety" KZbin Channel. This channel helped me very much in my journey.*

[@-gg3re]

Im sorry to hear that you have that and i really hope you recover but can you tell me what ocd means??

[@Rafsanul_Haq_96]

​@@-gg3re Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition where people have repeated, unwanted thoughts (called obsessions) and feel the need to do certain actions over and over (called compulsions) to try to stop those thoughts. For example, someone might worry a lot about germs and then wash their hands many times to feel better. These thoughts and actions can take up a lot of time and make daily life hard. People with OCD usually know their thoughts or actions don’t make sense, but they still feel like they must do them.

But how when every single person I meet they hate me hurt me how can I be happy. When I feel little better there's always something or someone who ruins it. And I'm so insecure and sensitive. I hate myself. I always felt so inferior to others since childhood. When your own people hurt you and u have no other place to go or cut ties with them then how ? How ? Will I ever be happy and strong? My whole youth will be gone and I will still cry in a dark corner like a ugly garbage in the corner.

[@frodriquez1]

[@Djani_Schetka]

The problem is I am all alone, or at least feel like I am. Truthfully I think what I'm dealing with is not even as serious as things that have driven most other people to this point. If I wasn't so avoidant and fearful as the result of having grown apart from everyone else over the years, and mustered the courage to open up to someone (taking into account I have someone, and I don't), I feel like that's all it would take for me to finally be redeemed. But when literally no one knows who you are, and you yourself are eventually left not knowing, alternate solutions just seem like an unachievable dream and nothing else. As time passes and I'm more and more out of touch with both myself and other souls alike, I've just accepted it is inevitable for my own hand to end it all, sooner or later.

[@frodriquez1]

[@SantiagoBsAs]

I agree that sometimes, as in my case, a certain event in life triggers depression which means you lose all meaning in your life and there is no purpose ahead. Of course that trigger event is just a trigger of something more deep inside which is very difficult to explain to people who never suffered depression or any other similat mental ilness.

[@Tiger4life4477]

I've found with mine it's both related to my childhood trauma and as an adult linked to a chemical imbalance with my hormones causing PMDD. Having to really focus on my food and gut to prevent it from happenin

[@jewelkemerena7]

The first two apply to me for pretty much the same reason: The COVID-19 pandemic turned my world upside down. I was in my last year of college and about to go to university. Then the pandemic happened and took it all away from me. I lost closure because I never got to say goodbye to my friends and the self-isolation didn't help me. At the end of 2021 it got so bad that I took the rest of the year off for a mental health break. Thankfully, I am a lot better now. I played OMORI recently and it really helped me finally move on from the impact of the pandemic. It taught me that I was going through stages of grief throughout those years. I finally grieved the loss of the life I once had and grew to accept that even though life may never go back to what it once was, I still have the good memories of my time with my friends.

[@Rouge_Panzer]

I was already depressed and mostly isolated before the COVID-19 pandemic due to the fact i never had any friends to start with. The lockdowns didn't change my life too much aside from online school. But it still got worse for me during the lockdowns because i couldn't even go for a walk down the street anymore. I was stuck at home with my parents 24/7 for months with no escape. I had no friends to even call, and my parents didn't try to support me as my mental health was declining. It was bad. My depression got way worse, and i thought it was bad before. My parents finally took my problem seriously when i actually wanted to end my life sometime after the lockdowns were over. After my parents got me through that, i started making friends at school and i started getting better. I saw a psychiatrist and it turned out i had much more then depression and anxiety disorders. I was showing psychotic symtoms as well.

[@Study-et6ec]

Good for u. But my parents mock me or beat me they don't take it seriously. The way they reacted listening to me I didn't expected that for me it was cruel. If I say I'm depressed then they just say things in a weird way doesn't feel genuine. They acted violently. Now they say mockingly that I am mental patient so let's go to a mental doctor. But it sounds like they are just mocking me. Iam afraid of death. They say things like you don't even do anything! Don't even have any pressure on your head! You Don't do hard work! You just waste your time and do fun! Then how do you have depression!? Neither I have any friends nor I do fun still they say I'm just wasting time doing "fun". One day I was talking to one of my parents and I laughed for some reason then suddenly other parent came and said where is your depression now why r u laughing if u have depression?! It's all gone now!! That day I was feeling little better then it ruined my mood and again that sadness came and I stopped the conversation, I locked myself in my room. I hate them so much. But also I feel guilty blaming them every time.

[@Rouge_Panzer]

@Study-et6ec yeah, some parents suck more than others, that's for sure. My mom told me to stop self diagnosing on the internet and made fun of me the first time I told her. But I was never beaten.

[@LukasWeeke]

Isn't depression caused by overstress usually? This stress differenciates from person to person, cause what stresses one is not a big deal for another. But there for sure seems to be a strictly physical level as well. Maybe the physical inadequacies poorly influence the mental wellbeing as well, I guess. They not only seem to do so by disabling us to do what we want to do, but also directly by evolving an abnormally low neurotransmitter level, what can cause inflammatory reactions in the brain, if I got that right.

I've had depression since I was a kid but thought I was just typically sad. I have been through some traumatic things. As I got older I became the single parent of an disabled child in a country with little knowledge and even less resources. I was very burnt out. Last year, I had a breakdown of sorts and was diagnosed with MDD, among other things. What's hard Is the episodes of deep sadness, the stigma and ignorance of most ppl about depression. I've been told I am demon possessed and need deliverance because of this. Yes, a part 2.

[@heatherblackmon2342]

My ex husband used to tell me I had a demon in me because I was SEVERELY depressed for no reason, him telling me that made the depression worse x10.. I thought I did something bad and was being punished by God. Today I know I'm not possessed, I'm a child of God... People don't understand what they say can and in my case, made me suicidal, I almost died at my own hands many times but God had different plans and although I get very depressed at times, I do have the capacity to feel some happiness at times, I have MDD, on disability for that and GAD but right now I can see a little light at times. Maybe this is my cross to bear, idk ...

[@sointroverted]

@heatherblackmon2342 you ex is an ahole. Yea I thought I was being punished, especially when my toxic mother said my kid was also demon possessed due to being disabled. I was pressured into going to church for "deliverance". I got worse. But keep in mind, I was stressed and being abused by my toxic parent. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm tired of those crosses I've had to bare, they make me sick and tired at this point. I also think I have GAD and ADHD, My support group psychiatrist has suggested this and to get re tested. I really don't wanna know about any more disorders.

[@dumblenutz5561]

I know not the context on a deeper level, so it is hard to offer advice. I would say that befriending her first is best. It is easier to flow into a romantic relationship if you actually know her and get along first. Plus, who knows, she might not be like you think she is. Get to know her first so you can calculate your next move. If she has friends, maybe ask them about her. Say she seems nice and that you'd like to know her, and see if they can offer help by speaking of her and what she likes; if they're trustworthy that is. Be careful of who you confide with. Perhaps take a more discreet route and simply ask what they think of her? Maybe excuse it as you looking for an ideal person for a certain task. There are options. Preferably, come up with an excuse in advance. When you approach her, observe how she acts. Match her energy. If she's hyper, be jolly too. If she's shy about it, take a more soft tone and try not to cause her discomfort. Work a friendship from there. Come talk to her every now and then when it's a good chance to, if she seems to enjoy talking to you. If she just listens and doesn't talk much herself, she probably doesn't. Exchange contacts once you're convinced she's comfortable with you. Keep hanging out for a bit. Then, ask her to go on a date with you once you've a good opportunity to, preferably when you're alone and in private. Work it out from there. I have offered enough. Godspeed.

I don’t know if this is a personal issue, but it does make it sound like it isn’t as seriously taken as it should be taken. I do not accuse the scriptwriters to be unmindful but it maybe make it seem like it to some

[@beegreen249]

I want you as my therapist 🥺

[@shrivatsa8604]

Indeed

All of these depression vids are just me.. struggling with depression is very hard I feel like crying but my family is kinda near me..

[@bailujen8052]

Number 1 applies to me: I have a bunch of missed opportunities, 1 i got sick through eating a sandwich too late and as a result i missed out Highschool graduation, Number 2: when my younger sister was planning a change of room and i was about to have it, i sobbed to have the current room i already got back because of nostalgia and as a result, my younger has the room, a year later i realised it was a mistake and i got upset by it almost every day. Number 3: at roughly the same time as my realisation of the room missed opportunity, i found out my mother is narcissistic and constantly mentally abuses me, she even tried to gaslight me when i called her out saying "It's not abuse, it's your autism", it makes me want to have revenge on her and my brother, my younger defends our mother

Point #1 describes me.

[@WayinNightfall]

Problem is that some people don't have enough money to get treatment, or they're still children and afraid to tell their parents because they might be bothering them and they would just push it off saying things like "you're just overreacting, you're fine" or "only grownups get depressed, it's just the weather go to bed" Personally, my parents would tell me that they've lived longer than me and that they know it's nothing, which just hurts..a lot.. Sometimes parents just don't believe their children just because they're kids...

[@江波健太]

this video’s take really clicks with some of the things I've been reading in the book Magnetic Aura from Borlest

[@S.R.Shadow]

Thank you so much :D

[@AC-ni4gt]

My depression actually came from the problems of being autistic. It wasn't just isolation I felt. I felt off in so many ways that it took until I was a young adult to see what was messed up with me. It wasn't just magnesium I needed. I needed other chemicals from various medications to help balance me out. Diet is also important but most of the time: I rely on therapy since there are times I'm feeling other emotions within my depression.

[@SiuSiuBlossom]

Thank you for this video, but can make a video on how to help feeling depression go away when your friend has to go 😅

[@bobcornwell403]

Personally, I have had major depression throughout my life. I also have an irritable bowel. I have found that I am most depressed when my bowel is acting up. Some have told me that the depression itself is causing the irritable bowel. I have found anecdotal evidence that it is the other way around. In dealing with depression, I have found exercise to be a potent buffer. Also, engaging in a challenging intellectual project seems to really help. I have learned over a long period of time tha social connections are not a reliable source of relief. Only the afluent can afford consistent counselors who stick around. Although it is dangerous to blame outside forces for inner termoil, I believe that the conditions I have to live under during this period of late capitalism are a major factor. Due to my work hours and very limited means, I find it nearly impossible to maintain freindships that share anything close to common interests with me.

[@CezarCardona]

please make a part 2

[@user-friendly-c8u]

Ur videos are SO GOOD🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@sufferingsample1837]

If I ever hear the word unaliving again I'm gonna unalive myself

[@giselioliveira630]

Part 2 please

[@nathanbanks2354]

"Those who have unalived themselves" 3:40, yay for KZbin's weird video monetization policies. Not sure if it's a good thing...

[@Salemcannibal]

I always think of professor Valery Legasov. "You can bury the truth with as many lies as you want. But every lie incurs a debt to the truth and sooner or later, that debt must be paid in full."

[@RWQFSFASXC2023]

Been thru it,it was awkward. Really awkward and... unsettling. But I'm fine now,thank you guys so much. But um...I was wondering if we could get a video about... OCD? 😅

[@SilverScribe85]

Thing about Bruce's situation is...loads of people lose their parents or family members in near similar ways. Yet surprisingly, they work hard through the depression and move on...Bruce never does

[@arriannalister5512]

Part 2 yes

[@wafflegang510]

Depression is really easy to understand. You get screwed over by people you trust and then have the ability to try to trust anyone at all. People are the worst thing living in this planet. Everyone says they want to help but it always comes with a cost. The reality is that no one’s to help just to help. I’ve been battling with this for years and the moment I believe someone is trying to help, it always comes with a cost. Doesn’t matter if it’s your closest friend or a so call “professional”. No one is ever honest and that’s the hardest part in life. I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t trust anyone at all and all I can think of is getting out of this stupid world with nothing but fake and lying people.

[@janesaphiraleanic663]

Cause: parents. Well, not completely, there was self isolating (due to narcissistic father and getting taught I’m not worth it). Loosing the only one, who cared for me. Getting better by myself, just to have traumatic experiences almost every year. It’s hard, when you work so hard to get better, being happy for the first time, and then some guys just think of themselves, don’t accepting a no, especially if you haven’t been flirting with them. Nor talking with them, not looking at them.

[@Nemo.38]

I don't mind self isolation..I don't have many friends or relatives..but for my chronic depression is stress related and compounded by my dad passing away...but I manage day by day..but taking a SSRI makes me feel fake like it's not me..

[@kiddcavalierdjmcandlilgas5331]

i've been fighting severe clinical depression since I was 9, and a big cause of it was just school.

[@только-х]

How the hell do I know if I have depression or no, I sometimes feel bummed and say it’s normal, sometimes feel very bad but say it’s normal, but what if it isn’t. To not go too much on that detail one can really know if his depression was not something normal when he ends himself

[@lockyp204]

Loss of hope. It’s not going to change or get better

[@laneilleglyne5986]

Can you guys do a video on post partum and antenatal depression?

[@Dakoda-Scarlett]

Good advice, now if i can just get people to understand i sound montone and am just very open book. im not depressed , well i mean i fully entend to end it in January but i am enjoying life

[@dumblenutz5561]

...end what exactly? Also, no wonder, people fear those who unlike them have nothing to hide.

[@Dakoda-Scarlett]

@@dumblenutz5561 their insecurities are theirs to manage, and as for the ending it I'm dying so I'm taking my way out insted of watching my body fail

[@Dakoda-Scarlett]

@@dumblenutz5561 oh I can't remember if I didn't reply or it got deleted, but everyone has insecurities and their fear of truth isn't my problem. And as for the question ending myself, my brain is dying and I'd rather go out my way before I lose much more of its functionality

[@nylamelody1307]

im surprised they didn't mention trauma. Mine is a combination of genetics + made worse by trauma.

[@reddragonlegacy]

Smack dab in the midst of one. Trying each day. It's hard, but I'm managing to pull through. My therapist thinks mine is in relation to PTSD from Iraq. Tired of feeling so beat down all the time. I have "passive" thoughts of unaliving, I would never act on them. But it's hard to find joy in things. I spend time with family, and I might smile or laugh, but I don't feel "joy", or "happiness". Finally broken down, and my therapist is going to bring my case to his team, and see if I should try medication. I want to see if their one of the VAs that does microdosing...people say that might help me a lot.

[@AC-ni4gt]

I am grateful for your service and sacrifices. I hope you're able to find a solution. Because I had been on medication on and off for depression so it's a struggle of its own. I actually hate it. Finding the right one that doesn't aggravate your mind or mess up your body functions has gotten me exhausted of it.

[@reddragonlegacy]

@AC-ni4gt thank you for your words. I hope to find a solution too. They called me to set up an appointment less than 15 min after watching this video. It was a sign. I'm optimistic, but only a bit. Because whatever doesn't work, can only point me in the right direction. Even if it's not what I need in the long run, it's what I needed then and there. Idk, trying to look for the positives in the little things I guess.

[@banthatracks_gaffisticks]
