8 Things People with Depression Cannot Do

This video will explain what a depressed person will not be able to do.

[@mikesmith6594]

Depression , anxiety , diabetes , stress , dealing with narcissistic individuals make life difficult .

[@reneeMajor856]

I have chronic depression including ASD/ADHD raised in a narc home suffering, I believed people had it worse. Depression is valid to every individual and should be treated better instead of invalid gaslit ❤

@@tawnisboxtalk I lost my housing twice during the pandemic. It's been a struggle ever since. Especially with rents and cost of living skyrocketing like they did. It just makes it that much more difficult. In addition to trying to function and maintain my hygiene while out on the streets. I find myself dumping my urine jugs in parking lots, and dragging myself to the gym every few days for a shower. If I can even pay the gym membership bill. I'm just falling apart.

[@KitKat-1976]

I can relate to all of these. After my infant son died, and his father,and my daughter's father I completely fell apart. I always suffered from depression and anxiety, but after the death's it became out of control. People think I'm just lazy, but I know it's not being lazy. Most don't understand. I'm happy to see I'm not alone or crazy through the comment section here.

People who never experienced depression/anxiety, cannot understand what a person is going through. They become judgmental against family members or others who suffer from depression.

[@klanderkal]

​@Diana-yn2ho Very true., I tried to explain, it's upsetting ,.. I can't just get over it. I'm suffering so horribly. Only the 988 calls, they understand. I've called too many times. I don't know if I can survive this torture

[@Diana-yn2ho]

​@@klanderkal - I feel bad for what you are going through. There so much discrimination against people who are suffering due to depression and other mental/emotional illnesses. Others who have never experienced this, think that it is just something a person is making up in order to gain the sympathy or attention of others or as an excuse. They also come up with this "low self-esteem" nonsense. They are equating the feeling of tiredness and weakness associated with depression as "low self-esteem". Incredible!

[@klanderkal]

@Diana-yn2ho Thank you so much. Your words explain this very well. Thank you for caring about me 🙏 ... I tried so hard to go out... and buy food. I was so uncomfortable and felt fear in the store. I had to leave,.. as I was so indecisive. Also, I have horrible insomnia and hadn't slept in 3 days. It's so horrible.. to have anxiety, insomnia, and depression.!!! It's so unbearable.

[@douglaidlaw740]

No, you're not crazy. Depression does not fit within the normal framework of an illness that medical people understand. I am not sure what that means, but my wife, a pharmacist, agrees. It isn't like an infection. People who call it an illness sit back and wait for a pill to come along. I call mine a disability, and like other disabled people, I go on with my life to the full extent that my condition permits. There isn't much that I cannot do at all.

I have had 3 major depressions in my life starting at age 19. I have also had many years of high functioning depression. I was recovering from the 3rd depression when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I’ve had a year of treatment and am fine now. I’ve learned that depression was harder for me than cancer. When you have a physical illness people sympathize. When you have a mental illness, you hide it and people don’t know how to help. Insurance in the US doesn’t provide good coverage.

Dealing with the same illnesses, and also with the anhedonia, I'm absolutely void of any good, joy, or happy feelings, like no motivation at all, it's unbearable. I have no friends, no family that can bother to be bothered to listen or even be around. I just stay home alone, all day, barely existing at this point. I don't even have a pet. existing is exhausting. I'm just so done with everything at this point. ugh :(

Existing is indeed exhausting, as the earlier commenter said... And for me too, the available options of drugs are going closer to zero, so I bought powdered Psylocybe to take in micro/mini dosing (0.2 - 1 gram), thank goodness it’s not prohibited in my country (yet). My psychiatrist asked me to wait coz there’s still options for me to try, but I’m tired of this frightening rollercoaster of emotions. Wishing us all good luck.

I live near my older brother, his wife and their 2 daughters, but I basically just see or talk to my brother and a niece who lives about 200 miles from me, we talk about once a week. I also have 2 small dogs that are companions to me. I have to take them for a walk at least twice a day and feed them. They are better companions to me right now than a person would be. People seem to irritate me at times. Being older I have got to enjoy my solitude more at times and I probably spend too much time on KZbin writing or reading comments. Hang in there, life to me is like a teeter totter with its ups & downs. Prayer & reading the Bible help me and I listen to videos like this one.

[@Chris-lz1fs]

I dunno anymore. This video describes my life to a tee yet the life I lead is ok. By that I mean, I've accepted myself for being myself and whether or not I'm depressed or not doesn't matter. My house is a mess, untidy and cluttered and needs a good clean and I've long since given up ideas about having a career and a family... sounds bad but I've come to accept that over the years. I know it'd be too much for me. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I don't berate myself for not being able to do the so-called 'normal' things most people take for granted as described in this video. I've found a way to live with depression and even hold down a job even though I know I could do more with my life if I felt well enough. But that's the real problem, feeling empty inside and feeling tired. That's what drags me down and makes life seem like a real struggle at times. Anyway, that's my experience of it.

Currently battling w/ depression and anxiety after having to quit my toxic career. I dont regret my decison at all, in fact im much happier now but for some reason this depression has a grip on that I cant seem to shake off.

I have suffered chronic, moderate to severe depression since puberty. For many years I self medicated, only making the depression worse. I have found if I wait until I begin feeling better to do the things you list, I remain in a downward spiral of depression and isolation. I have to "act as if," just tell my depression to get in the back seat, we are going anyway. When I act enthusiastic about doing healthy activities, guess what? I begin changing my mood. For me, the number one treatment of my chronic depression is achieved through diet, exercise and spirituality. To excuse my staying in bed watching meaningless t.v. as part of my illness, only keeps me depressed. One old person's opinions only.

After my sister & best friend died in 2020 & 2022 of COVID-19 I have felt tired & non energetic.My doctor is young and didn't want to increase the dosage of my anti-depressant medication. I work part-time and my employer has been good to me since my sister died with taking time off from work. I have had insomnia along with depression so I have a difficult time getting up in the mornings.If I do sleep I wake up feeling tired and like I have brain fog.

It is the same old same old story. If we can sit down quietly and look around at what's going on in our world. There is so much pain and suffering which is unbearable. We only look at ourselves and say poor me. Together with a priest or pastor search for answers. Sincere prayers has never let you down. It gives you a reason and a purpose to take each day as it comes. Reach out to people in need whatever it is. It can give you so much joy you forget your own problems. There's lots of lonely people in institutions. Old people and even orphans. No matter what I face each day the moment I put Gospel TV on for hours I'm a new person and everything else is forgotten. God is Good. I am 72 years old and I live alone. But never lonely. God bless.

I have the most severe form of depression. I have been on different medications for almost 20 years. I'm currently on 2 antidepressants and medication for anxiety and insomnia and this is where I get the least amount of support because everyone else thinks that I am on too much medication. My therapist says that I don't have to explain my medication but I tell people that it's like telling someone that they should stop taking insulin for their diabetes. The medicine I am on is keeping me from harming myself. I also need emotional support animals I had 2 cats but lost one of them to cancer and it has not been easy for me losing him. So now I have situational depression on top of my clinical depression. Life sucks but I am not my diagnosis, I am still a person but I'm learning to deal with my limits. If you read this know that life is better with all of us in it and the pain you feel today will be less on some days and more on others. Never be afraid to reach out to someone if you are feeling overwhelmed or more sad or hurting more than usual.

[@klanderkal]

I'm hurting suffering horribly from depression. Caused by multiple traumatic events... then under overwhelming stress, I made very bad decisions/mistakes... and I lost my career job of 20yrs.! I'm so devastated. I've called 988. I don't want to go on anymore! How can you handle for s long? 😢🫶

[@restlessrespiratorytherapi7921]

@@klanderkal it hasn't been easy. I struggle every day. I have been passively suicidal in the past and attempted to kill myself twice while in a dissociative state. Until I understood what was happening with me, like the dissociations, I didn't know how to ask for help. I didn't know that I could ask for help. I also have had some great therapists and a great doctor. So in my 20 year battle, I identified what my diagnosis is ( major depressive disorder, PTSD with suicidal ideation), I learned my triggers and I learned coping mechanisms to help keep me grounded and then if I felt like harming myself I would have to look at myself in the mirror and rate from 0 to 10(0 being not worth it to 10 being worth it) on whether or not it was worth losing my job, my home, my family and friends to cause myself harm or commit suicide and my answers were usually no it wasn't worth it. We all have ways that help us cope. Some journal( I can't because I write like someone is going to read it and end up censoring myself), some join church, some people write songs or poetry, listening to music and having a good cry every now and then helps me. Check your area for mental health services to see if you can find a therapist that meets your needs, if you are unable to work you can apply for disability from SSI, I did that for a while until I could return to work. Find 1 or 2 people who you can contact anytime day or night if you start feeling like you want to end it so they can help talk you through what you are feeling. Anxiety and depression feed off each other and can create a vicious cycle of unwanted thoughts and feelings of worthlessness so it's important to find what works for you to make it stop. The world would be made the less by your loss, stay with us ❤️

You didn't mention suicidal ideation. I deal with most of those other symptoms, but sometimes I just wish I could let go and leave everything behind.

I been dealing with bipolar disorder, though in the past few decades, it's been more of depression. I also have always dealt with being learning impaired and dealing with ADD and OCD. With problems like these, where there is only so much mone can do, it makes for a long miserable life, no matter what. As far as the "self blaming", I admit to some of that, but it has mostly been everyone else blaming me. I'd be blamed for "being stupid", "slow", "lazy", and so many other things that I couldn't and still can't get a handle on. My moods are always going to cycle, regardless of medication and therapy. Diet, exercise, healthy sleep patterns and constantly self checking my attitude toward life, helps me some. But all in all, I really am my worst critic about things. For things that I am the best at, I am my worst hardest coach and critic. That being said, to make my life less overwhelming, I focus on being the best musician that I can be, even if I still never took my talent anywhere. This way, I slack in other areas of my life, but focus on what is most important to me. I can't only concentrate on so much in my life. I struggle to stay focused on things too, even music. I have to keep taking breaks so I don't get burnt out and then ultimately discouraged enough to leave it alone and give up for months at a time if I'm not cautious enough. It's sucks when others always seem to be around when I screw up, but no one ever sees what I do well. Between all these things and tons more, not to mention traumatic events, all my life long, and severe rheumatoid arthritis, I have amounted to nothing. It's almost like, I'm just waiting to die. The Good Lord above can take me home whenever he wants. I hope it's soon. I'm done with this stint.

[@leonardoabreu6232]

I've lost many good opportunities in my adolescence due to depression, but I can't just sit down and cry. I'm going to be 18 in a few months, so I just want to enjoy the time I have left with my friends and the ones I love. One important thing I've learned too is to not take life and stuff so seriously. Really, we live everyday, life is just one and can end today or maybe in like 50 years. For everyone who struggle too, try to see an possibility in everything, set goals, but don't try so hard, it's all part of a process. Someday you look back and see that things have changed, maybe you're gonna laugh, maybe you're gonna cry, but what matters most is that you're still here fighting for something!!! Keep on people, were gonna make it one day

I used to make really good meals (Nothing like it sounds you're capable of though), and then depression comes and even remembering or following a recipe becomes impossible. Then even the slightest criticism drives you even further into depression. Being alone, you do criticise yourself a bit, but it's more bearable because there isn't another person relying on you.
