[@tmlawson751]

1. Not bathing regularly (guilt adds to misery, despite not having energy to do it) 2. Not brushing teeth (just an extra step, too much energy to do) 3. Super cluttered surroundings 4. Lose track of time, doing nothing (psychomotor slowing), staring into space, leads to being overwhelmed by catching up 5. Feeling strong emotions under the surface (tears falling at any time, feeling fragile, or angry or rageful) that don't match the situation 6. Isolation from others because of the deep unhappiness from inside 7. Feeling exhausted and sleepy, even after waking up from a night of rest And yes, this also happens when you are unmedicated bipolar, not just medically depressed.

[@ran2123]

As someone who’ve spiraled into depression a lot of times, i notice these signs leading to that. I’m scared to spiral again so I’ve developed a routine that i follow every single day except for a few exceptions with valid reasons. After i wake up in the morning, i pee, make my bed, brush my hair, wash and refill water bottle, drink water, brush my teeth, do yoga, meditate and take a bath. In the evening before bed, i brush my hair, take a half bath, floss, brush my teeth and journal. I make sure that i follow this routine everyday because i know that it’s going to help me keep going when I’m starting to spiral. And most times, this routine prevents me from spiraling. Sometimes, it takes me late to do them but the most important thing is that I still did them. Taking care of myself and my hygiene is the most basic thing i can do for my own self and this has helped me a lot with not spiraling into depression. I still feel depressed from time to time but i don’t get depressed for longer periods now. I’ve started following this routine in 2020 but almost at the end, some things happened and i spiraled into depression. I followed that routine for eight months before it got disrupted and I hadn’t had a major episode of depression during that time. I struggled to restart following that routine after and i’ve failed to restart it a lot of times last year and early this year but i succeeded in restarting it again this year. I’ve been doing it for over seven months now and i haven’t experienced major episode since then.

Love the practical advice: sleep well, eat well, and exercise. Just awesome stuff!

[@nostalgicbliss5547]

Damn that's true. It's usually because of deep unhappiness that leads to people overindulging

[@jebronlames2854]

Everything thing else other than the drug u are taking seems unimportant ESPECIALLY when youve come down and ur sober. Why brush my teeth when i could just get high? Why clean my dishes when getting high will bring me much more gratification because of my addictive ass personality? And then when ur sober and run out of drugs ur not thinking oh ill actually do sumthing productive now because all ur effort is going toward acquiring more drugs. Literally ur brain is re-wiring itself into believing that drugs are more important than personal health or hygiene and when u do get high u have no motivation to clean those dirty dishes beach whats the point I already got my drugs fuck those dishes.

I wonder why those depression assessment questionnaires don't ask about things like how many times you brushed your teeth last week instead of super subjective stuff like how many days you felt bad about yourself last week. I always feel like the questionnaires don't capture what's going on, but you capture the scary, tangible issues related to inability to function here. All of the things you mentioned apply to me except the emotions one - I don't have emotions when my depression is at its worst.

I’m bipolar and I instantly know that depression is coming when the quality of my sleep goes down and I start to shower once in 4 days even though I can still feel really good emotionally.

I could go on…..BUT….on this past Sunday, I decided to pick one thing that I could commit to doing for myself, that will hopefully be a start. I have managed to follow through with brushing my teeth every day. I see my psychiatrist tomorrow, and hopefully will have a long-needed medication change.

[@noahpehowic6080]

I'm not at this low of a point in my depression, but I know I have it. It causes me to sympathize greatly for people who have it worse than me, and I cannot imagine how it must feel for people who are at that point. I feel like I'm in a fairly dark place, so it's terrifying to imagine what it's like to be at a worse mental point.

[@CarimboHanky]

dont self diagnose and go to a doctor socialmedia is making people think and feel they have issues they really dont

[@noahpehowic6080]

@@CarimboHanky I only "diagnose" myself with depression because of the fact that I'm grieving a close family member and because anxiety goes hand in hand with depression. I put the word diagnose in quotations because depression itself is not a condition-- many people experience it at some point and some degree. It's a condition when it's at the level of being clinical depression.

I'm on a study abroad and I've been away from my family for almost a whole semester now and it's been difficult, not to mention I'm feeling stressed with school and I'm trying to help my parents with some business ideas while being half a world away. But I thought I was doing pretty good at managing my depression, anxiety, and my ADHD. But listening to this video I realize I'm actually hitting every one of these marks, I think it's time to review my mental health and try to figure out how to prioritize my mental health a bit. Still all the things I should do I just feel too tired to do, it's always the things that make you better in the long term that can feel so impossible in the short term. But I'll keep working hard.^^

[@xorbe2]

This video embodies a hidden societal problem ... it implies that we need to be busy 24/7 just to keep up. Maybe society in general adds to the problem, human minds and bodies aren't really intended to deliver peak performance every waking moment. Yeah I isolated myself from most of the people that were around me, tired of busting my butt working hard with "friends/family" demanding I fix their problems too, naw dawg, no more of that. Gosh they got angry when I stopped jumping on demand, blocked blocked and blocked.

Physical activity definitely helps me out. It got me out of my depressive Rut during the 2020-2021 shutdowns and I practice being active religiously now. I'm a case manager in mental health and incorporate physical activities with my clients in rehab. However it's still difficult because of the poor food these clients consume. It's like prison food and our agency doesn't have or get enough funds from DMH to subsidize healthier meals. I feel like I'm doing what I can to prevent these people from getting any worse than where they're at. It's very sad and unfortunate that people still live under conditions like this while undergoing treatment. :/

[@elysianfields8461]

Hi Mark! Unfortunately quite true about nutrition. As a case manager, you have some 'clout', lol..any possibility you could negotiate with some local businesses or farms etc to donate some fresh vegs/fruits..it's apple season, harvest time! Possibly local grocery/bakery for their day-old goods, damaged packages, etc?? I know you already have a full time++ job!...but it was just a thought maybe community might be willing? 🤞🍎🍓🌰🍞🥦🥬🫑!! Best wishes!! ❣️

[@markvega9894]

@@elysianfields8461 yea I can, that's a possibility, but there's not many community farms in the neighborhoods we serve these clients. There food desserts. Only thing I could consider is inquiring of donations of some sort with local markets. Definitely not gonna work "out" of my work time to do it because I don't get paid for that but it's worth inquiring during work hours while passing by. Thank you for that recommendation.

You have perfectly described my default condition over the last 18 years, after many years of deep episodic depression. Each of the warning signs you described is uncannily accurate. Five years into treatment with medication and therapy, I finally am beginning to feel as though I can function again. (In addition to the depression, I've also been diagnosed with ADHD inattentive type, generalized anxiety disorder, and PTSD.)

[@Nautilus1972]

It's probably worst or stars to become really bad about then. It took about 5 years from 17 until I was 22 before I stopped having suicidal ideation. The mind is your demon at the moment - it's somewhere you can't escape. Sooner or later you will realize that your negative feelings are of your own creation and have allowed others to hold your own feelings to ransom. Stop worry-thoughts in their tracks and dismiss them. Disarm them immediately and despise them. The force is within you already. Turn it on.

Talk about 'in a nutshell'! Every time I feel myself plunging down into the pit I feel all or most of these things. It takes a HUGE amount of energy to push through and continue your regular routine whether it's working, going to school and/or parenting. It is ever so helpful to ride out an episode without commitments. Since I am retired I can wait for better days to accomplish tasks. It seems like a lifetime ago that I was able to be physically active. Exercise was a healing balm. For those who can exert themselves, start training when you feel well then push to keep it up during the down times, even if you have to modify it a bit.

[@zahrinthia1403]

I've been trying to finish college but those signs have been me on and off for the past few years.

Okay, I have 6 out of 7~! Still brushing my teeth but even that seems an effort. I mentally force myself bc I don't want my teeth to fall out. I have a lot of clutter but do my dishes and pick up regularly. It's difficult for me to open mail, emails, texts or answer the telephone . Bathing is a struggle for many reasons (one being currently handicapped) On the ine hand I know I feel my best after taking a shower; I do have to make myself at least every other day or two. I isolate by choice but like social media to connect with people. I rarely invite someone over. I often don't answer the door unless I am expecting someone. I have struggled with depression on and off since I was 14. I self medicated in the 70's and 80's although I no longer abuse drugs and don't drink alcohol. I recently got into an argument with my next door neighbor bc I didn't answer her text. (Although I had previously explained to her that I don't like talking on the phone or excessive texting.I told her It's was my anxiety and setting boundaries, to "please respect my privacy." To which she should have understood since I compared It to her clinical anxiety disorder of driving her car out of our city limits. She literally cannot drive beyond the demarcation of our town's border and, yes, she is on Disability for her extreme anxiety. So imagine my surprise when she got butt hurt over me not answering her text!!! She rushed past me angrily and mumbled, "I just don't understand your problem with the phone!" So I know depression/anxiety all too well. You'd be surprised how many people are ignorant about the disease and especially the medications like Prozac (which I take and attest to it saving my life.).

The isolating is true for me. I also try and pay attention to when I can’t fall asleep at a normal time- it’s a bad sign for me. I try and get back on track as soon as I can. I also pay attention to my eating- when I’m starting feel low I start to not eat. I just forget and I don’t acknowledge my body being hungry or thirsty. So I track my water every day and focus on eating a little at normal meal times even if I’m not hungry. I find tracking ( in a notebook) all of these things to be helpful.

I TOTALLY feel the same way! I’m in the exact same situation as you! I have a required med-check appointment today (must do one every two or three months to get my prescriptions refilled) but I’m hesitant to share too much about how bad my life is because her “required” next step will be to refer me to yet ANOTHER therapist. And - more often than not - that new weekly responsibility will just feel like even MORE STRESS heaped upon me. I have actual real life problems stemming from my current state of financial poverty. I don’t have money for a car. And my furnace just broke last night, and I live in New England where it is cold. I need REAL PRACTICAL HELP - and the list of phone numbers to convoluted bureaucracies I’m offered never seems to get me anywhere. 😣. (Just venting.)

All these signs is me and it’s been this way for as long as I can remember. It’s my personality at this point. I know it eventually gets better, so I just wait it out. Then I’m golden for a few days or a week, then back into the gloom. Rinse and repeat.

Welp. I really needed an intervention during my early twenties, apparently. These videos are great - very informative and clear.

Wow, this video woke me up to what’s been happening lately in my life.

I know full well that I don't have any form of depression, but I do understand this, likely because I have a victim mindset that causes me to be sullen and feel sad even when I should feel overwhelming joy. During the summer, I had a large personal project. I thought that seeing the mess I'd made of my room would motivate me to complete the project because I told myself I couldn't clean until I got it done. Instead I didn't want to complete the project because everything around me was untidy. When I'm obligated to care for myself I still zone out for long periods. Hopefully going to see a therapist for my actual mental issues, so I'll bring it up. Thank you.
