5 Signs You Are Severely Depressed, Not Just Sad

[@Psych2go]

Some people mistake depression for laziness. So, we made a video to dismantle that stigma and assumption. Watch it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2mrg3qfisqNrcU

Depression is like that demon that constantly gets into your ear telling you that things will never be alright no matter how much you try to make things better for yourself.

[@NIGHTFIVV]

For everyone around you you are an another lazy teen (sorry if wrong) that don't want to do anything and wants to die for no or a stupid reason

[@nicholayr4346]

This is the best explanation

[@johnnykend5728]

I want to make things better for whole world, only then I'll become happy. But if world suffering, even if they're lying to themselves, then I'll be sad and depressed for myself. It's not me, who needs to change, it's the whole world itself. Like remove wars, make equality and other changes. I'm like bounded to whole world and my happiness depends on whole world, not on me. If world will become better place, then I'll become happy too.

[@garchompelago]

This all applied to me back when I was in High school. I get physically and verbally abused by my classmates because the thought of bullying me was funny to them. Then when I went home, my cousin who is significally older than me would do the same towards me. I asked for help from my mother but she is just mad at me for my failing grades. My father isnt with us anymore so I had no choice. As an act of rebellion and out of frustration, i stopped going to school. By the orders of my mother, she ordered my cousin to physically drag me to school. I skipped all my classes that day. I dont want to see my classmates. Eventually I asked my uncle for help. I stayed there and when my mom called me through the phone. I angrily demand her to transfer me to a different school and to get my cousin to leave our home. I demanded that she comply because I have no intention of going home unless I am on a safe environment. I told my uncle what was happening and I angrily told my mother that im sick of her talking down on me due to my grades alone while completely disregarding the suffering I was going through.

[@agentorange153]

Good for you to take charge and proactively handle the situation!

[@garchompelago]

@@agentorange153 That all happened like more than a decade ago. Its just a past memory that I got reminded of due to the symptoms of depression and I just realized that at the time, it does applied to me. Im not particularly sleepy, I just sleep a lot at school to escape reality. I got bullied a lot back then because I was unlucky enough to be placed in a classroom filled with evil people. Its all in the past now.

​@@garchompelago hello I'm little different and this seems the best way to get things off my chest before I break down crying or go into and intense rage or annoyance I'm not trying to be annoyance or rant this just seems like a good way. I have really bad depression and anxiety and very over sensitive like something is wrong with me and I guess I'm also very compulsive like if I don't due certain things or check stuff on the Internet I get stressed and my head starts hurting. Also why are people such haters on the Internet like literally I try to talk about sports or video games but people have seem to gotten more cruel like just disrespecting people on the Internet are talking like there know it all's. Like I have seen some ignorant stuff online but I can't stop going into comment sections like I have an impulse even though i know its going to be bad and i just get angry and annoyed and then i just want to cry like why are people so evil why are people such haters also my actual life is going bad as well I just think life is meaningless like nothing ever goes my way i feel like i jinx everything like everything i root for or want just goes bad.😢

[@garchompelago]

@@depressed3083 There are so many toxic and disrespectful people online because they love to abuse their anonimity. Their status of beinf anon allows them to harass and hurt people without suffering the consiquences afterall. Just be better and dont be like them and do your best to avoid them. Though it can be tempting to respond, most of the time ignoring and/or just blocking them is the best option. Most of them are either self projecting and/or craving for attention anyways. Not worth your time and energy. Also your response to them is exactly what they want so depriving them of that is the best course of action. If a person have a desire to break other people, it is because they themselves are broken. Not because something is wrong with you. They have to portray you as the bad person or the broken person so they could feel better about themselves. Pathetic really. Thats why ignoring them is the best solution most of the time. Also I would ignore the opinion of others if I were you. Most of the time, who you really are does not reflect what other people say. People tend to lie and slander for their own wicked purposes. Who you really are depends on how you treat others. Thats why you should never be impressed with titles, positions and achivements. Be impressed on how a person treat others with compession and kindness because most people does not have thay character nowadays. Even the most smartest or wealthiest people can be the biggest of jerks. I cant be impressed with that. Most people wont be better so its our responsibility to be better. Even just a little, starting with ourselves and improving ourselves is the first small step on making the world better. Even if the world is already filled with evil people.

I relate the most to the 1st and 5th symptoms. I do stay in bed a lot either playing video games, listening to KZbin, watching VTubers, and listening to ASMR. I have trouble sleeping at times from either nightmares or I stay in bed because I want to sleep more. These are my best escapes from reality. I often do just lay down, put some ASMR on, and sleep, because I don't want to be in this reality. It's evil, it's depressing, and I wish I had a permanent escape. Which does bring me to suicidal thoughts. Last year was the hardest and darkest year of my life. I didn't make any attempts but heavily considered it. 2 times I was the closest to making an attempt. Both for the exact same reason with the second time being the hardest. I keep seeing signs that this world doesn't want me in it. I see myself as a waste of a human life. I wish I was born different because then maybe I would be accepted for who I am. I wish I was gone because not only would my suffering end, but the world would be one step closer to a happier place

[@MufflesTheGerbil]

For three years I thought my two year long depression finally completely went away. But knowing that once you do something for so long it becomes a habit. While I may think I'm mentally okay my depressive habits have long stayed with me and I haven't acknowledged any of it because I thought mentally being ok was the answer. I know that I have been doing every single thing that was mentioned in this video. I honestly thought that if I felt okay for long enough all of it would go away. Unfortunately it has not and just trying to put any form of energy into self care feels so unbelievably hard to do. Even just doing the easiest things that I almost always do such as going to wash my hands has just turned into a go to sleep all night and day until everybody from the house is gone or until I feel like it to go wash my hands. It's honestly so bad that I ignore my OCD urges of trying to be clean as possible and cleaning stuff out of my room. I literally have zero energy to do anything, even playing video games to watching videos it's all difficult to do at times. While it may not be as extreme as when I was 16 Years old where I basically slept 24/7 for months and I meant months for a whole year without opening my eyes or moving in bed for several days with zero food and no water for days until I really had to drink it starving myself to death. (Living in a lucid dream fantasy that was the only place I felt happy) and an insane amount of other things that would be way too long to explain especially because it'll go over KZbin's Character limit like it did last time when I explained it two years ago. It's still pretty bad. I honestly just feel useless and a failure to every single person in existence. And it makes me feel worse knowing that I have an IQ higher than the average person with high functioning autism that I am able to completely and 100% control if I really wanted to as long as I don't let my overwhelming emotions and sensations get to me but I obviously can't bottle up those intense feelings forever since they will always come bursting out worse like an overwhelming nuclear explosion. It also doesn't help that I am a highly emotional introvert with extreme anxiety to the point that even if I was completely anonymous online and made a slight sound of my voice in the microphone to even a best friend that I only know online would make me cry so hard because it'd give me the biggest panic attack. Even if I do want to verbally communicate my autism wouldn't allow me to speak the same exact way as how I type, so I just stick with typing to every single person I know because that's the only true way I can express myself fully and properly the exact way I want to instead of being forced to rush out words I never meant because someone is impatient just for them to argue about it to me repeating the same things to be able to fully verbally explain what I wanted to actually say while knowing that I made it clear enough where anybody would understand just for someone to also complain about me repeating the same thing but slightly different over again when it's not my fault. I also hate being so unbelievably good at something for so long just to randomly one day be so bad at it and completely loss that skill having to restart all over because I stopped doing it do something completely different for one to two days. It's honestly extremely demotivating just knowing that and I blame it on my Autism I can be insanely slow at learning something but when I know how to actually do something I excel at it a crazy amount but lose that skill instantly for some reason both in memory and muscle memory when I do something else for not even that long. I honestly hate it and now I'm going to stop typing before I accidentally go way off the topic and not talking about what's causing my depression anymore. I know venting something with a psychologist or best friend is way better to do instead of randomly online but I don't have those options at least for right now. Just getting something I've never told to a single soul before about myself is enough to make me feel a little better about myself but it obviously will never fix my horrible habits that have been hard wired to my brain that will be overwhelmingly difficult to cut away and replace with way better ones which I am aware will painfully take a very long time to do.

I'm depressed too and at times I would drink alcohol or crave it. It's not as bad as it was when I was in high school. I slept all day, barely ate or drank anything, moments I would have hot flashes with dizziness if I stood up. I lost 40 pounds during one summer break and my bones felt frail. I thought about dying, felt like I was going crazy. I often dreamt that I was in a crazy facility near the sea. I snuck out and went to the sea. The sea was calling me to come, so I went. I slowly let go and was drowning. But I never fully let go because I would rise each time, out of the water. At times it felt like I was in a deep black pit and I was just looking up. Even thought about falling off the second floor in high school. I didn't have anyone to talk to. I tried to talk to a "friend" a few times but they got mad and left without understanding how I felt. I was always the person that people came to when they needed someone to talk to, but I never was able to find that person I could go to when I need to talk to someone. It's honestly heartbreaking thinking about it. We need people too, but no one thinks that we do or are too absorbed in themselves I guess. Now, I just don't have the energy to do self care and find it a chore. Sometimes I don't want to eat but force myself or eat too much. I get irritable and want to be left alone. I think there isn't anything in the world to be happy about. I don't have friends now, it's hard to have friends/meet people that actually have values & respect & that are genuine. I don't have the mental and emotional capacity to sift through people to find a "good" friend either. I often think about being in nature because that is the most beautiful and peaceful thing you could experience. The world is going to crap and people are destroying everything so honestly there will be nothing left soon and that makes me sad.

Oh, and since I can remember I didn't have any dreams to accomplish, but now my 3 dreams are: to finally end this, or to finally cry, because I couldn't for 4 YEARS and that hurts me, or to have someone close to "see" my inside emotions and help me through my life, but that's just is a dream so it will not come true, especially since it's a my dream

[@TheGoldNinja101]

1. I might be in social withdrawl, due to lacking friends in person. 2. Yes, I am feeling tired sometimes, even at day time, but I don't sleep a lot. This variant of "tired" is feeling worn down, not sleepiness. 3. What is the point of Hygiene if no one is there to look after me nor be there for me? 4. I lost interest in everything, even living, but I can still maintain my life. If I have a friend who looks after me, then it should be a sign that everything would change. If aliens abducted me, befriended me, and looks after me, then it's possible that I'd lose interest with humanity as a species. 5. I do have suicidal thoghts before. I do not want that to consume me and that determination is really strong. This lack of love for me is the cause. Let me tell you, My depression lasted for nearly a decade. I observed that there are elements in depression. I really like to watch Pixar's Luca, but I cannot bear to watch 100% of the movie, even on repeat. Most noticable sign is when the protagonists saying "What's wrong with you, stupido" for example. The first time they said that, that's to themselves and that didn't bother that element of depression. There's also this noticable sign when this scene that Luca's parents, looking for him, putting kids into a fountain. This element is very reactive for me, just trying to prevent me from learning or doing bad behaviors, even when remembering things. I call this the "Good Person" element.

People always say go get help, well I did, and they didn't help, not the clinic, not in patient, not group therapy, I'm just being passed along to the next service! I struggle to keep appointments; by the time I finally feel normal enough to function, i would call to make an appointment, then they would schedule me for next month, so I attempt to keep my motivation up until then, but by the time the appointment comes around, my legs are chained to the ground again and I have to really fight my bed to get out of it, usually i end up missing the appointment ten the cycle starts again. 2023 was supposed to be the year I get better, but that whole year, I just felt isolated, stupid, and incapable of helping myself, still do! I keep asking my family for help (maybe mom could schedule transport and my sisters could just text me reminders) but they just don't! I understand why I shouldn't rely on help from my younger sisters, but I thought my Mom could at least help me out just this one time... I feel like I'm just a f@#k up, but that's not true, supposedly.

i always thought i struggled with depression, but now i realized that depriession is way further than just sadness, even tho sometimes i feel sad or lonely i still laugh and enjoy the things im motivated on, i found out that depression is not just an "emototion", remember if any of you feel depressed keep in mind no one deserves to feel this way, if your struggling talk to a therapist or someone you trust.

I've been experiencing depression since a year due to not fulfilling my own expectations. I have always been a straight A student, but my grades started dropping from 95% to 75% in 7th grade. The lockdown in 9th grade and social media exposure further impacted my academic performance. Now I've got my grade 12 final exam in just 2 weeks and I haven't studies anything at all, I just wasted all my time. I know that I'm very much capable, but I'm just not using it to the fullest. I'm losing faith in myself and I'm constantly disappointing my parents. I've been eating and sleeping way more than normal and I'm showing most of the signs of depression. I just wanna leave it all behind but I can't.

[@FOUND4444real]

Literally everything in this describes me lately. And as much as I'm starting to want to reach out, everything is so expensive... And I'm not going to be specific, but I'm not old enough to even get a job, plus I don't want to talk to my parents and ask for therapy. I got it before, and they pulled me out as soon as i started to seem like i was doing better. I never really got better, except for a pause of a few years. It came back, though, and it's even worse, but this time I've learned how to hide it. I really just don't what to do anymore.

Yeah, No. 5 hit a little too close. I remember when I was younger I downed like a third bottle of NyQuil thinking I wouldn't wake up if I had enough of it. I felt terrible the next day and vomited it up, but man that was the best sleep I think I've ever had.

In April 2013, I was taken for psychiatric help for the first time. My condition was really really bad by 2015! My mom n I decided to stop seeing docs or take medicines. I felt better by mid 2016. Early 2017, a nice young gentleman saw my profile on Facebook who himself was not quite happy with his life's conditions but together we made each other comfortable. We got married by the end of 2017 and fortunately our marriage continues till date happily, of course with slight ups and downs ! My husband's key fundamental to heal my condition was "patience and never expect too much or force". Love heals ❤

Nowadays, I just take one homeopathic medicine called kaliphos. I started taking it around a year back as suggested by a homeopath I came across online. Initially I would take two small tablets half an hour after lunch and dinner or before going to sleep. Now, I take three tablets only once, that is, before night's sleep. This medicine helped me a lot

What does it mean to have suicidal thoughts? Do you have a suicidal thought only when you think of a way to go, or is merely wondering how people would feel if you were gone already a suicidal thought?

[@bunnieth]

I have suicidal thoughts. It’s basically your mind kept on saying things that goes along the lines of “what’s the point?” “I’m a burden. I don’t think anybody wants me to even use Earth’s Oxygen anymore.” And yes, sometimes we wonder how others would be and feel if we were gone. And I guess it could be?

Well, i have wondered about having depression. I always feel tired, therefore making me want to sleep more, but i cant sleep during the day at all (no matter how hard i try). (Also have really bad memory) I have low motivation for most of my main hobbies that ive been doing for years (art, piano/guitar/musical instruments in general) i have gotten into crochet which i enjoy, but thats all i do. I try to finish a piece of art or something i need to do (bday gift etc), but its hard to finish one. I also barely brush my teeth, maybe twice a week at the most, which i know is really bad but i literally just want to do everything to avoid it. Even when im in the bathroom, toothbrush in hand, i still dont. Its stupid, its right there yet i dont do it. I also barely shower, only showering when my parent forces me to shower (i stink so understandable). However, i dont exactly withdraw from socializing, sometimes i do because i have low energy (lower than normal ig, i already have low energy levels), but otherwise i still enjoy hanging out with my friends. I feel 2 faced when im with them, i have a whole other personality with them than at home. I know most people are like that so its not uncommon, but it really does bug me. All my friends are energetic and active, meanwhile im homeschooled and would just rather stay home most of the time. One of my friends have depression im pretty sure, she opened up to me about it last year, not why or anything but just that she had it. Im the person in the friend group that you dump you problems on/vent to so maybe that makes me feel worse instead? Ive had alot of pets and animals of mine die (mostly from old age or an unknown cause, idk i really try my best) so that could be why my motivation is lowered. In 2022, i had a cockatiel who died and who i absolutely loved more than anything. She was super clingy though which got in the way if things sometimes, i would come home to her screaming and she wouldnt stop until she had me in her sight (normally screams started when she heard the car pull up) uh but yeah. When she died (i was going away for a bit, hadnt even gotten to the destination yet) we got a call from the housesitter that she died. I cried 3 days straight after that, and the sadness has never left me. Few days ago, i found one of my chicken dead in the forest at my place. She looked like she had been attacked by a wild animal. I also cried, of course. She was an amazing chicken, extremely friendly and hilarious. Welp that turned into more of a vent ig, didnt mean for that. The way i write is confusing so whoevers read it, idk if you can understand it or not. Anyway my point is i might be mildly depressed?

ADVICE FROM MY THERAPIST ON INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS: My therapist told me that having f'd up thoughts is normal and you shouldn't be at war with yourself for having those thoughts. Just accept that you're having them and be aware that taking action on those thoughts are your choice. Because you are in control of your own actions. You can't control what you think. So if you indulge in things that make you feel guilty after. That's guilt is a good thing, because it deters you from doing it again. This only works if you accept that acting on them is your choice. Because having these thoughts, desires, or urges, doesn't mean you ever HAVE TO OR WILL act on them. Just let them fade away.

well, introverts tend to deslike public interactions until a certain point, but depressed people start to feel straight like you’re being forced to go out and they’re not up for spending time with loved ones, i’m an introvert, but before i used to enjoy being around friends, but now i just think of the worse and decide to stay home.

As in India people don't seem to care about mental health issues and often ignore the visible symptoms all parents want here is to get good grades and 10th ans 12th std. are very crucial years of a student's life so the community only expects them to study all the time and make self care very difficult as they think it is a waste of time the mindset of the people here is trash and toxic and it seems like they don't care about the increase in number of students suicide rate and refuse to change their mind set or send their visibly depressed kid to a therapist as their are less no. Of therapist because the community thinks it's not a real job and so going to therapy is very rare and this channel makes psychology and tips for mental health improvement available to everyone in a simple language love u♥️

[@nuttypurrfessor]

Hey just a reminder: I don’t want to invalidate anyone’s experiences, it could totally be both, however, here are some things to look out for if you feel like taking care of yourself in ways others consider “basic” drains a lot of your energy whether or not you are feeling depressed: - You may be struggling with executive dysfunction - You might have sensory sensitivities - If you have any trauma around the particular self-care activities you find draining and tend to avoid, that trauma may still be impacting your life I thought I was depressed for a long time because I was struggling a lot to take “basic” care of myself. I think I did go through a couple of depressive episodes as a teenager and I suspect I may struggle with reverse Seasonal Affective Disorder (easily getting depressed in the summertime), but as for my everyday executive functioning issues, those can be explained by the three things I talked about above. Understand that struggling with “basic” self-care is not so basic for some of us, and can be due to things like ADHD, autism, sensory processing disorder, PTSD, or other things. Again, it could be both depression and something else, and sometimes it is, but I just want to put this out there in case anyone is in the same boat as I was when I was 16/17. Wishing y’all the best, and hugs to everyone 🫂

As someone who's been battling depression since birth, and I cannot recommend this enough, get a lifeline. Call mom & dad and tell them you'll meet them at X date to do some X event. Get a pet that you'll love and cherish (and vent to when you come home everyday.[I'm pretty sure my dogs will grunt at me more than a handful times a day if they could only talk]) and when THAT time comes, remember who's losing you and how they'll do afterwards. Also strictly No drugs or liquor during dark days, just sleep it off; even if it is everyday, everything else can wait for you to be okay. You'll make it, I believe you.

Yeah, I tried seeking professional help, but it's useless. Even after admitting the severity of it all it basically went like this: "It's alright, here are some pills to treat less problematic and unrelated symptoms that also bother you and good luck with your miserable life". In other words, I've probably had depression for years (suicidal thoughts included) and the only thing I got some help with are my ADD related issues, which by the way came >3 years too late to have any lasting and significant effect. Got diagnosed when I was 8, but instead of starting therapy and guidance right away until the age of 16, I only got help after a severe mental breakdown... when I was 19.
