Hi Patsy you don't know me but my name is Joe and I also have battled depression. It was mostly brought on because of loss. Either a death, separation, move, etc. But one thing that always kept me going was just knowing that you never know what will happen on any given day. Tomorrow you could meet someone or do something that will turn your whole life around. I've been in dark places with so much despair but somehow it always works out. Sometimes I just appreciate the little things like chocolate or rainy days or even funny animal videos on KZbin. All that really helps. So I just wanted you to know that someone is thinking about you at this very moment and sending you some sunshine. You're a wonderful person! May brighter days lie ahead.

I'd say depression is less of a sadness and more of an emptiness, things you used to love just feel like a waste of time, and the passage of time feels either too fast or too slow. The awareness of how life is kind of a loop saps all the joy out of everything. and worst of all, you feel guilt for not being able to do anything and it just makes it worse.

To be honest i see so much bad in the world these days ive got to a point that now i cant see any reason id want to stay here and id rather be home with my loved ones who have already passed away and to be honest if that point comes id say its my destiny not suicide because the only person in charge of my life and its path is me and ive always said im comfortable with death its as natural as being born and we are all born to die its just many people cant accept that death will finally come around someday and try to think they will live forever..

I can’t shower for days, and days. I’m about 2 weeks without energy to even wash my teeth, and when someone calls me dirty or lazy I feel more and more depressive and incapable. So stressful, so overwhelming.

[@GhostMonkey772]

I started drinking when I was 16. I would drink at parties, but I also started drinking alone because I was unhappy, and I was in a lot of emotional pain all the time. My mom was very aggressive when I was younger, and my brother hated her and so did I. He started hanging out with shady people, he started failing all his classes, he was never home, and my parents fought all the time. I also ran away several times. I was always trying to figure out a reason as to why I was here or what the purpose of life was. So, I started looking at different philosophies, religions, and beliefs. When I was 18 after I was hungover, I got on my knees and I prayed for the first time. I asked if God was real that he would show me he was real because I couldn’t take it anymore. I was crying when I prayed for this. At that moment I felt a presence come over me like a wind. It was barely noticeable, but it was unlike anything in my life I had experienced up until that point. I was surprised when I felt it and I remember saying “what was that?” after that experience I pretty much forgot what happened and kept partying, until my senior year when I got arrested. After my arrest, my parents lost all their trust in me and I was expelled from high school. I was told never to come back to my school. At that time, I felt afraid and hopeless. That’s when I started looking for God, and I prayed that he would reveal himself in my life and that he would give me signs. My prayers began getting answered so consistently that I couldn’t deny that God was doing something. It was mysterious and compelling. I ended up in Church and started reading the bible hours a day. I stopped hanging out with all my other friends because they were continually getting arrested. I was able to forgive my family and myself and to ask to be forgiven. I noticed how at Church people were judgmental and how they formed cliques but were afraid to be around anyone else different from them. It increased my faith because I realized Jesus was not like that and ever since I was young, I saw people as people regardless of who they were. After a while, it’s like I could see God's presence was in my life and then it felt like he wasn’t, and then he was, and then he wasn’t. One day I woke up and felt more depressed than I ever have in my entire life. I felt like I was dying on the inside. That night I prayed, and I said, God, I don’t see my life five years from now I'm going to die Jesus save me Lord, please save me. I was weeping when I said it and when I asked him to save me, I felt a presence inside of me like a heartbeat, and I felt it once like a pulse, and I said Lord please save me and I felt it again even stronger. It was like radiance. When I woke up the next morning, I had transformed everything felt brand new like I was a kid again. All my fears and all my racing thoughts everything was gone. I looked at my hands, and I said this can’t be real, it's impossible. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I saw a different person. I started praying, and the holy spirit became entirely real to me; it was washing over me and inside of me. It was total love and peace, and I heard a voice but not an audible one, it was an inner voice. It said I am with you; I love you, I will never leave you, it’s done it’s finished. That was May 3rd, 2009, and ever since then I’ve followed God, I have seen many things change and many things I know wouldn’t have changed without faith and belief. I know what it’s like to be lost to feel you have no hope. Don’t ever think you’re stuck, or life can’t change because it can. My mom is a Christian now, Its night and day. Some of the things that went away during that period were severe anxiety and my addiction to alcohol. I’ve seen and experienced so many things that are miraculous and seen how God has worked in my life. When we ask God to forgive us for what we’ve done and turn away from our sins and wrongdoings and we believe in Christ's sacrifice everything changes. His word says if we confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that he died and rose again we will have eternal life but not just life after death but abundant life in the present. Our sins are erased not only past, present, and future but our burdens and fears are lifted also. Our thoughts, our minds, our hearts, our souls are transformed and united with God and we know his spirit lives in us. If you seek, pray, and knock you will know JESUS IS KING!!! HE LIVES! “Come to me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest” “Whoever drinks of the water I give them will never thirst again” kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4m0eId_o7WjkLc I know what its like to not be able to get out of bed. To find it hard to shower, or eat, or brush your teeth. The feeling of emptiness can be unbearable. Im telling you that Jesus Christ makes all things new again! he is the way!

[@GhostMonkey772]

@@crimsonnin2 You say that only because you have no faith and you don’t believe in him. Jesus can heal all things. I myself was diagnosed with clinical depression. I could not eat, shower, or get out of bed. I felt hopeless and alone even when I was around others. I had suicidal ideation, tormenting thoughts, and constant pain. I can tell you 100% that Jesus makes all things new again. I don’t even remember what it was like to have depression and I feel as though I never had it. Jesus is light of the world, he is the light in the darkness. For you to suggest that light pushes further into darkness is absolute nonsense. I’ve been sharing my testimony for about a year and a half now and 95% of responses are positive including atheists who have told me that they have rediscovered their faith or people who have told me what I have written has saved their lives. I would rather try to save 1 life with the good news and gospel of Jesus Christ than have the mindset you have a thousands times over. How do you know your prayers have fallen on deaf ears or do you think I am here for no reason? God operates through his servants. God knows the circumstances of your life from beginning to end. God wants you to be free from struggle and to have peace. God doesn’t want us to follow him in slavery he literally sets you free from the bondage of this life, this world, and from yourself and those thoughts that swim around in you all day. God knows what he’s doing he has a life planned for you that’s way better than what you think following your own path could produce. I’m sorry you saw others abusing and mistreating people. People can attach their ego to anything you know that right? that includes God too. “I put no stock in religion. By the word religion I have seen the lunacy of fanatics of every denomination be called the will of god. I have seen too much religion in the eyes of too many murderers. Holiness is in right action, and courage on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves, and goodness. What god desires is in the mind and in the heart and what you decide to do every day, you will be a good man - or not.” Jesus is entirely good and was totally without sin. That’s just another claim you’re making because you don’t know him and you have no faith in him. Everything seen is temporary all things unseen are eternal. It is not natural for men to be in Hell that’s why God has intervened on your behalf. Everything you do in your short life echoes throughout eternity. “There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations - these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub and exploit - immortal horrors or everlasting splendors. This does not mean that we are to be perpetually solemn. We must play. But our merriment must be of that kind (and it is, in fact, the merriest kind) which exists between people who have, from the outset, taken each other seriously - no flippancy, no superiority, no presumption.” Jesus said go into all the earth and spread the Gospel to all peoples. God gives opportunity to everyone at some point to accept his Son those who have heard and rejected are held accountable for those who do not know about him God will judge that’s up to him. That’s another reason why I do what I do. If I sincerely believe there’s a hell why is that bad for me to tell you what Jesus Christ has done in my life if it could keep you from that place? That’s literally the highest form of love and respect I can give to another person. It’s evident from your speech that you have a certain mode of thinking “you can’t in good faith tell me” “if they were forced” Love doesn’t force itself on anyone or it isn’t love. Christians if they are walking correctly throw seeds. That’s all they do, and that’s all I’m here to do. I didn’t come here to debate with a nonbeliever. I came here to share the testimony of what God has done in my life in the hopes that it helps someone else. God is alive and can be experienced that’s how we know Jesus IS THE WAY the truth and the life. I’ve shared the good news with you, believe it or don’t but from this point forward you are wholly without excuse. What you are doing is using anecdotal evidence because what I’m saying probably makes you more depressed so you think that applies to everybody else when in reality it doesn’t. This is also called “projecting” God does work for everyone, its one universal spiritual body of believers that have been joined and saved regardless of nation, or “xenophobia” or class, or gender, or race. “There is no slave or free rich or poor male or female for all are ONE in Christ Jesus.” The Church is a universal across the entire earth. “No ill will or anything” even though you’re trying to repudiate my own life experiences, the hypocrisy is amazing. People can believe what they like. Like I said im only here to share the good news of what God has done in my life.

[@GhostMonkey772]

@@crimsonnin2 I'm not responding to you again. Ill get people to pray for your peace of mind and for those symptoms to be alleviated but keep this in mind Jesus was only able to perform miracles when people had faith that he could. When the blind men asked God to heal them Jesus asked do you believe I can do this? They said yes we believe. Then he said ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH LET IT BE DONE TO YOU. Then it said their eyes were opened and THEY SAW. Do you have the eyes to see I wonder?

I think the heaviest part of dealing with this is people not truly understanding what it is like unless they’ve been through it. Most people say they do, but then they say something that confirms how clueless they are. “Oh yeah, I’ve been sad too”, “But why don’t you get up and do something productive? It always does wonders!”, “I get it, sometimes we don’t wanna talk…but you could still send me a message. It’s not cool to disappear like that”. Oh, and the part where people assume you’re either exaggerating for pity or doing it for attention…yeah, no, that’s why I never say anything until I can’t take it anymore.

[@jessilene]

I totally agree with you. A lot of the times I get empty responses from people who think “it’ll get better just give it time”…. My biggest struggle with depression is seeking help. Every. Single. Therapist I have gone to has but me in a 72 hour hold at a Mental Health Facility causing me to be more in debt. I haven’t gotten any sort of new information from being in those places and I always leave feeling sadder because of the bills I now have to pay. Most of the time therapy feels like a scam and I wish there was more free information out there to help us rather than just make a quick buck from our sadness.

When I was depressed, not only did I want to stay in bed but I always wanted night to come so I could go to sleep. I would have loved to sleep all the time back then.

[@cerobathetalllady]

Every time my parents don't understand what I'm going through, it hurts, it feels like nobody understands me in this world, that I'm all alone. My friends mostly forget that I'm there with them. They give out a "Hey man, how you doing" but I feel like I'm a giant nuisance. Every night, I hear voices of the people who negatively scold me and I start to cry. My school is the main reason for my depression, it is going so rough for me, I'm so worried about the final exams. I feel so bad when everyone around me are happy and joyful but I'm gloomy and sad and ruin everyone's mood for just being there. If I'm talking with someone who does care about me, i either only text them (calling from phone gives me anxiety), or if I'm next to them, I talk quietly. If leave a place, I feel like the person who sat next to me was relieved that I'm gone. I just wish there's someone who listens to me. Sometimes, i just don't want to live anymore, my family keeps fighting, there isn't one day without a fight. My parents keeps telling me that my one and only worry is to study, but I care about my family, I'm the peace keeper in my family, i really hope one day, my parents understand me and tell me it's okay. In all my life, nobody has ever either hugged me or said "It's okay" when I'm feeling down. My parents gets really angry if I cried or get angry, they really hate if I show emotions to them, they tell me to grow up but I have that heavy feeling in my chest by the fact they don't care about my mental health. I had a cat, who would (if she understood or not) sit and listen to what I say, and then if I start to cry, she gets up and meows, she was my best friend, i had nobody left after she died from aging. Even my favorite hobby, drawing, becomes boring and I'm slowly losing interest, i love to help people, it gives me a bit of happiness even if I don't get anything in return, i would never ask for return but if they do return back without me asking, i would take it if they insist but I would feel bad afterwards because they need it more than me, but some people take advantage of my kindness which started trust issues in me, in my 4th grade, I helped a girl who fell from the stairs but then a boy told the headmaster that I talked to a girl, i was suspended for a week but all I wanted to do was help her, my parents didn't believe me and believed the headmaster and the boy, i was devastated that nobody knows the truth and could defend me and everyone was against me, the girl went to another school because her parents were scared. After then, i started to trust only those i truly know, I'm really conscious about the people around me, i started to read people easily to figure out if they're good people or bad people. Anyways, if you read the entire blabber I wrote, thank you so much, it means a lot to me. I mean what I said.

@Asikdrake7300 You're life as youve described seems much like mine. Please stay strong. You are important to many. Life is a struggle but worth it. Many people are uncomfortable with emotions,theirs and/or someone else's. My parents made me feel we weren't allowed to have them. Seemed to be alot of negativity from my parents and alot of sibling rivalry. We were seldom given kudos,if ever but constantly told what we were doing wrong. There is no handbook on life or parenthood. If you are still in school I think interpersonal communications may be a helpful class to take if offered. I wish I had taken it(I think it was offered)when I was in school. I find it helpful also to think of anything I am grateful for at least once a day, no matter how simple it is. For instance,just waking up to the sun shining and being able to walk myself to the bathroom and all functions are in working order. Hang in there friend,you got this!!

Trying to hold down a high pressure job and fight depression at the same time is bloody hell. When you're depressed, it's hard to concentrate, and it's easy to forget things, so managers think you're lazy and incompetent, so it's hard to keep a job more than a few years.

Like now, but that's not a conversation for KZbin. What I would say is that medication does help, but waiting for it to do so can sometimes almost be worse than suffering the Depression itself. Also, it's Soul-destroying having to pretend everything is okay and that I'm "Okay" when it couldn't be further from the truth. This sort of things hurts so much, where there is no way to reach except by, perhaps, medication? That even functioning day to day can put you in a hospital bed. Stay strong, everyone.

I grieve for the "me" I once was, and I can't even trace back to when I began feeling this way, and how my once confident, overall content self has devolved into the me of today: someone who has had to stop working because of panic attacks; someone who is so pre-occupied with trying to escape feelings of hopelessness that I forget to bathe; someone who is so afraid to go anywhere that I've associated bathing with going out, and get anxious just thinking about bathing - when I do recall that bathing would make me feel better. I don't know if any others with depression or anxiety have this experience: I know the coping methods that my therapist has suggested and even agree that they're great ideas and would help, but then when feeling at my worst, be it most anxious or most depressed, I not only don't remember the coping skills that she's taught me, the concept of coping skills doesn't even cross my mind. I know logically that if I practice basic hygiene steps daily, I won't just associate them with something anxiety-causing (leaving the house). They'll become automatic as they used to be, and I'll feel better. The problem is, I've become so used to not taking a shower that I forget about doing it unless I write it down. I feel helpless and a burden to others. My husband has said he has caregiver's fatigue, and I don't blame him. He deserves a partner, not a dependent.

Hey all, As a 16-year-old (who has recently turned 16.) who has been battling with depression over the course of my lifetime, I've experienced my fair share of suicidal thoughts, so I thought I should share them here. It all started in elementary school. I was a happy boy, filled with curiosity about the world around me, making friends, and going outside and playing with the neighborhood kids. I was just like every other boy, finding out things about the world around me. I had parents and siblings who truly cared about me. It was during this year in elementary school that it truly happened. I was bullied... Around the age of 8, kids are kicking sand in my face, calling me a weirdo, and even throwing some insults in there. This happened to the point where I refused to go to school or go outside too. I felt as if I was doing something wrong. "Did I do something wrong?" and "Did I do something to make them think I was weird?" I've tried to tell my teachers about this relentless bullying, and they just brushed it off as if nothing was happening. The bullying got worse, and I was treated as a class pariah. At home, I usually do my math homework with my mother. She would hit me and yell at me for failing a math problem. Which made the situation even worse for me at school. I cried at night, hoping that everything was going to get better. My confidence and morale were non-existent. My grades were the only thing that kept me from losing my sanity because they gave me a purpose. Middle school was the same thing; nobody wanted to talk to me. Which only made me feel saddened as people cast me out. I wanted to tell my parents about all the things, but I just thought it would end up like the same thing in elementary school. I was a quiet kid, trapped within my inner thoughts. All the good things that made me happy, like games, didn't make me feel happy anymore. It felt as if I were trapped within my void. It was like if there was a mountain and I was climbing up, I would just fall again, hitting curves as I spiraled downward. But I also met my first friend there. He was like me-a person that nobody wanted to talk to. It just happened; we just started meeting up every day. Talking to each other and becoming good buds. That was the time when I felt happiness in my life. During 8th grade, it was finally my "birthday." Feeling happy about spending time with family. So, I went downstairs to sing the Happy Birthday song until I saw my family members eating my cake. I felt so saddened and forgotten. I was so filled with emotion that I just ran back upstairs. My siblings tried to call for me, but I was in my room, crying on the bed. This was supposed to be my birthday? Why are these things happening to me? Then they dared to ask me to reuse the cake after the moment was completely ruined. I was just immediately hit with all the terrible memories of my childhood. I wanted to say no, but I was just too generous at that time. Fast-forwarding to the summer of high school, I had my first relationship with a girl in the summer. I was exhilarated, and I did my best to treat her well. It was weeks after the relationship first started, so I got onto Discord and noticed that I had messages from an unknown dude. So, I clicked on his profile to chat with him. He had evidence of my girlfriend cheating on me with him. So, I asked if he had photos, and he said, "Yes." I was immediately hit with photos. I never felt this much pain in my life. I felt so angry and saddened. I just spent the entire night crying myself to sleep. It was tears of pain and betrayal. To not experience these things again, I decided to close my heart. I was just a soulless husk; I felt as if I was done for. I was never invited to go anywhere with my siblings anyway and was given empty responses about my depression. Thanks for listening to my bottled-up problems that I've experienced over the years. "My god, my god, why have you forsaken me?" Edit 1: Thank you for the advice and support you gave me, especially for the ones in the comments section. I have some hope that there are good people out there that care for the human beings around the world. It'll be awhile before I can trust people again. 🥲

@@Interdacted well if you've been diagnosed with schizophrenia you should definitely make sure to take your medication to help you cope better

[@Interdacted]

@@spoooook Lol. My nurse practitioner wanted to diagnose me with schizophrenia when I tried to explain inner dialog. At the time I didn't know the definition. So it was like, "Yeah I can't mentally visualize things so I just talk in my head." I don't hear auditory voices that are not there. Nor see imaginary people. It would just mess up my brain chemistry more if I took meds that were not needed. Also he diagnosed me with severe depression if I remember right. And anxiety.

I hate my life and most everything around me. But i keep waking up everyday and drag my way thru each day

[@GhostMonkey772]

I started drinking when I was 16. I would drink at parties, but I also started drinking alone because I was unhappy, and I was in a lot of emotional pain all the time. My mom was very aggressive when I was younger, and my brother hated her and so did I. He started hanging out with shady people, he started failing all his classes, he was never home, and my parents fought all the time. I also ran away several times. I was always trying to figure out a reason as to why I was here or what the purpose of life was. So, I started looking at different philosophies, religions, and beliefs. When I was 18 after I was hungover, I got on my knees and I prayed for the first time. I asked if God was real that he would show me he was real because I couldn’t take it anymore. I was crying when I prayed for this. At that moment I felt a presence come over me like a wind. It was barely noticeable, but it was unlike anything in my life I had experienced up until that point. I was surprised when I felt it and I remember saying “what was that?” after that experience I pretty much forgot what happened and kept partying, until my senior year when I got arrested. After my arrest, my parents lost all their trust in me and I was expelled from high school. I was told never to come back to my school. At that time, I felt afraid and hopeless. That’s when I started looking for God, and I prayed that he would reveal himself in my life and that he would give me signs. My prayers began getting answered so consistently that I couldn’t deny that God was doing something. It was mysterious and compelling. I ended up in Church and started reading the bible hours a day. I stopped hanging out with all my other friends because they were continually getting arrested. I was able to forgive my family and myself and to ask to be forgiven. I noticed how at Church people were judgmental and how they formed cliques but were afraid to be around anyone else different from them. It increased my faith because I realized Jesus was not like that and ever since I was young, I saw people as people regardless of who they were. After a while, it’s like I could see God's presence was in my life and then it felt like he wasn’t, and then he was, and then he wasn’t. One day I woke up and felt more depressed than I ever have in my entire life. I felt like I was dying on the inside. That night I prayed, and I said, God, I don’t see my life five years from now I'm going to die Jesus save me Lord, please save me. I was weeping when I said it and when I asked him to save me, I felt a presence inside of me like a heartbeat, and I felt it once like a pulse, and I said Lord please save me and I felt it again even stronger. It was like radiance. When I woke up the next morning, I had transformed everything felt brand new like I was a kid again. All my fears and all my racing thoughts everything was gone. I looked at my hands, and I said this can’t be real, it's impossible. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I saw a different person. I started praying, and the holy spirit became entirely real to me; it was washing over me and inside of me. It was total love and peace, and I heard a voice but not an audible one, it was an inner voice. It said I am with you; I love you, I will never leave you, it’s done it’s finished. That was May 3rd, 2009, and ever since then I’ve followed God, I have seen many things change and many things I know wouldn’t have changed without faith and belief. I know what it’s like to be lost to feel you have no hope. Don’t ever think you’re stuck, or life can’t change because it can. My mom is a Christian now, Its night and day. Some of the things that went away during that period were severe anxiety and my addiction to alcohol. I’ve seen and experienced so many things that are miraculous and seen how God has worked in my life. When we ask God to forgive us for what we’ve done and turn away from our sins and wrongdoings and we believe in Christ's sacrifice everything changes. His word says if we confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that he died and rose again we will have eternal life but not just life after death but abundant life in the present. Our sins are erased not only past, present, and future but our burdens and fears are lifted also. Our thoughts, our minds, our hearts, our souls are transformed and united with God and we know his spirit lives in us. If you seek, pray, and knock you will know JESUS IS KING!!! HE LIVES! “Come to me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest” “Whoever drinks of the water I give them will never thirst again” kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4m0eId_o7WjkLc

Lobo, Reduce negative thoughts with a strong desire to transform from within. Your breath is directly related to your mind [brain] causing negative thoughts-anxiety. For a relaxed life sit on a chair, back erect, eyes closed, be still and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for around 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight with your thoughts. Slowly they will reduce and relax the mind. No deep inhalation-exhalation or breath counting needed. Anytime of the day or night before sleep sit or lie down and observe your breath. Be as still as possible as it reduces negative thoughts. Make this a lifetime daily habit to have a good life.

It's lonely to live like this when no one knows you are struggling and you don't even want to tell them because you always feel like burden of them. I can earn money but what i lack is people i can fully trust but i have none. I don't trust my parents with all my problems. I almost hide everything from them because they are busy in there life trying to give me the best as they can but they don't know my life is a lonely life.

[@gymather3097]

How would I describe depression? It’s like hell. Anything that meant something to you stops meaning anything at all. Anything you liked or disliked becomes irrelevant. Nothing has meaning. There’s no point in life. Everything feels dull and empty. You feel as if you are seeing things through a dark lens. A lens that follows you everywhere. It doesn’t let you see the light in anything. You stop feeling excitement, hope, joy, inspiration, and love. Everything feels the same. You feel less like a person because nothing impacts you anymore. You stop caring. This life starts feeling like a burden. Like it’s weighing you down. Anything like money, society, people, goals, and schedules feel heavy. They have no meaning anymore so you stop seeing why you should care. It feel like you’re living somebody else’s life. It feels as if your life isn’t yours anymore but rather an illusion that weighs you down. From that moment on you start craving peace. Peace from this pain, and from this dullness. I used to say that I felt like a robot, like I was booted to do things but I actually didn’t care about doing them. I felt like I was rebooted with zero memory of positive emotions. And that’s how I have to carry myself through life. This is no way of living. It feels as if you’re already dead, as if you died a long time ago and are experiencing hell. As if your destiny is to kill yourself because nothing matters. You feel dead inside, as if your soul died and are forced to live in your body. It’s torture.

I was diagnosed with severe depression a few years ago when I was living in a homeless shelter. It didn't surprise me considering the sexual/verbal/mental torment I suffered as a child. It really hurts my adult relationships... I have no friends to hang out with and a lot of my coworkers usually dont associate with me because I'm quiet. I dont have the energy they have...everything is so draining and I cant afford therapy to help myself. I don't know what to do anymore.

[@moonsyoungestsun6550]

I can definitely relate when you mentioned that your co-workers don't associate because you're quiet. That's the story of my life on jobs. I always start each job trying to be "normal", making stupid small talk, trying not to come across as stuck up or standoff-ish. But that gets exhausting and I slowly start morphing back into my quiet self. Unless there's a really good, deep topic that comes up, I'm not interested in the usual, pointless office chit chat. I'm much better with just doing my job, listening to music or KZbin documentaries through my ear buds. But when I do this, I can feel the energy of being judged and then people asking me dumb stuff like "Why are you so quiet?" I always think "Ummmm, because I'm here to do a job; not fill the moments of silence with meaningless comments just to pass the time. Why do you need to talk all the time? Are you desperate for love or attention?" But I know that saying that would definitely isolate me more and probably get me fired for being looked at as having a smart ass attitude problem, on top of being antisocial. Maybe I should say that and just get fired, since I hate working with humans anyway. I don't know why people are so offended when someone is quiet. It's like they become extremely judgemental and assume something is wrong with you. But I think something is wrong with people who cannot be quiet on a job. Like, are they starved for attention or something? It's all just so exhausting. Struggling with the simplest tasks like showering, getting dressed, driving, etc. and then dealing with people on a job who have no clue what you've gone through just to make it in to work. And now they expect you to be a chatty patty for several hours a day. I don't have the energy for all of this and really understand why many people commit suicide. Feeling like you're just existing but having to "put on" for the sake of getting a paycheck in order to live is pure torture. It's like being dead already but going through the motions.

[@HugoLilli]

I had severe depression for the past 2.5 years (and still do but it's much better now). It's really true that you can't understand what it feels like to have depression unless you go through it yourself. The worst 2.5 years of my life by far...but I can say from the bottom of my heart that the ONLY thing that works is getting counselling and learning how to completely sink into your emotions and feel completely with no resistance.

[@shyaaammeneen63]

Anastasiya, In life there are only 2 problems--mind and the body. To feel better reduce negative thoughts. Your breathing is closely related to the brain [mind] and gives good relief from stress-anxiety. To relax sit on a chair or lie down, neck straight, eyes closed and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight your thoughts. With daily practice the mind will relax. No deep breathing needed. Do the practice without any expectations. When taking a walk, at office, in college, when reading, before sleep etc observe your breath sensations. Like me, make this a lifetime daily habit to have a good life. Take morning sunlight walks, reduce negative social media and avoid constipation as it affects the mind instantly. Best wishes--Counsellor.

Been diagnsed with Depression and ADHD already, and don't know why but before the video details the warning signs of severe depression I was able to speculate what it might tell...And after most of the signs, could easily correlate with them as if my whole body is feeling every word the video said...Also, am already on 25mg Nortriptyline so maybe my existing depression is dampen down a bit for now so as not to identify every sign...Could be a possibility; anyway I'm on weekly therapy continuously this time( Since last 1.5 years, been on irregular therapy and medicines )....So, let's see!

It is also difficult because when due to mood, difficulty finding motivation, feeling overwhelmed, etc., I fail to get things done that need doing. Then later on, those things become problems that cause stress and just makes the whole situation worse. And yea, it's hard because then I find myself unable to explain to others why I can't even get basic things done and no one respects or believes me. I understand the importance and power of positive and negative 'self talk' at an intellectual level, but I just can't make it work in practice. I once had a therapist literally tell me to 'fake it till you make it' in the context of focus on positive thoughts for a while, pretending to be happy, until eventually you begin to feel that way. But I can't just turn off unpleasant feelings like a mental switch. Then I feel even more useless because I can't even control my own mind. I begin to feel that for some of us, we just are what we are and that isn't going to change so just have to find a way to accept it. What I mean is, in my case for example, I'll always feel out of place in the world and, yes, the world would be better off without me. I wasn't born by choice. But I'm here now and as long as I'm here I just have to trudge through it. Knowing that sometimes I'll feel ok, sometimes I'll feel painfully sad and hopeless, other times some where in between. It is an extra burden but the best I can do is to seek ways to continue to function while dragging that weight around.

Today: 31.08.23 I am a 13 year old German teen and the thought of suicide has been in my head for around 4 years. It all started when I first heard my parents arguing. When I heard them screaming I was scared, I didn’t know what to do. I already knew my dad had an alcoholic problem and my mom was already tired of him screaming at her for no reason. But still, I was scared. I couldn’t sleep. For many months i heard them argue EVERY NIGHT. While that happened, I just sat on the stairs, listening to them. Trying to give myself the idea of what’s going on so that I could help. I always had nightmares about my parent divorcing after that. But they stayed together for a while. While my dad’s alcohol problem got worse, my mom talked less and less. She was always doing something in the house so when I needed help with school, I had to ask my drunk dad. My dad (who also has Anger issues) obviously screamed at me when I didn’t know an answer. I feel stupid and often cried, when he asked me why I was crying, I just had to cry more. Should he know why I am crying? He is screaming at his own daughter in anger, just because she didn’t know the answer to a question? That’s where I started to feel worthless. More and more, stupid. Then, middle school started. All of the sudden, everything was fine. I found my best friend, Emilia. But shortly before 7th grade, my parents got divorced. It was heartbreaking for me, now I know it’s for The best. But at first my parents wanted to seperate me and my brother, No way! My brother was the only one I genuinely told about my feelings, who knows that I’m just not the „funny friend“. We convinced them not to eventually. But times got hard. My mom was totally unhappy, and my dad was almost broke. I just felt unhappy with life at that point, nothing really gave me joy anymore. At that point I thought about suicide the most. I didn’t want to tell my friends, I didn’t want them to feel like they weren’t good enough or that they did something wrong. I don’t want them to treat me any differently, I just want them to know. I started isolating, being „lazy“, not talking to anyone, listening to music all the time, didn’t leave my room. I was on my iPad the whole day and night. Fell asleep at 5am, woke up at 12pm. My mom called me lazy the whole time. Making me feel even more worthless, she even hit me once and then just left my room. 7th grade „finally“ started. I hated it and I still do, our classes for mixed up again. Now I was in a class full of the „cool kidz“. The ones who’d always bully you, smoke, get into fights and are just popular. I feel like they always eyed me up and down and find me annoying. I’m scared of saying anything in front of them, what If I answer a simple question wrong? What will they think? I struggled with those thoughts. Just never feeling understood, feeling like I can never tell anyone about my emotions. Feeling like I’m just overreacting, I mean, some people have it way worse than me right? Many things between that have happened as well, I try to not talk about too many details as I try to shut them out due to trauma. But now, 8th grade started. I feel more used to my class but still unhappy. Almost none of my friends are there and they all moved on and got different friends. Friends that are cooler than me. I’m distancing again, online I’m pretending to be someone who I’m not. I’m pretending who I want to be. My mom still calling me lazy, Grades going down but I’m too scared to say anything. I didn’t go to a therapist. What if they tell my mom? I don’t want her to feel bad. But sometimes I just really want to leave, have a quick ending to all of this.

[@eversonjr.234]

You should talk to your mother, she probably needs help too. Show this video to her and the video linked in the comments - it's not laziness. Maybe you both can find a way to fix what can be fixed... don't be alone, you don't have to deal with this alone. ❤

[@lopsidedlollipop]

I wish I could offer you more than comforting words but I want you to know you aren't alone anyway❤️ I've struggled with this since I was younger than 13 too, and while I still struggle and some days I feel like it's worse than ever I promise it does get easier to handle, at least once you learn more about yourself and the things you can do to feel better or get through the the day. Unfortunately learning what works and what to do when you feel that low usually comes from trial and error, so please don't give up and stop trying because you will figure it out, it just takes time. I know I can get through the hard days even when it feels hopeless and my brain is telling me otherwise because I've gotten through them before, so logically it has to be possible. I can tell you've gotten through hard days in the past too, and that's exactly how you know you are strong enough to get through the hard days in the present. You've already done it. Anything your brain tells you otherwise is a lie and you should try not to believe it as much as you can. I know you might feel trapped and it can be really hard to talk to people about how you're feeling, but that is honestly much better than isolating yourself and keeping it bottled inside because that makes it harder to fight and it is really hard to feel like you're carrying around a secret about yourself all the time that you wish you could talk about. Even if there is no one in your life that you feel like will understand, if there is somebody that would just be willing to listen and believe you it can help so much. Even if you can't talk to anyone in person, there are lots of groups online or comment sections like these ones where you can tell the truth and unload whatever you need to, and there will always be people out here that understand you, even if we don't know you personally. I can't give you any concrete advice on what to do because what works is different for every person, but I can at least let you know you aren't alone, and that I do understand what you're feeling inside and how horrible and difficult it is to go through this. Stay strong friend, because you're already strong❤️

Get some help, talk to a psychologist at your school or clinic. Trust me , it's going to be scary, but it's worth it to gather all of your resolve and bravery and just talk how you feel to a doc.

Coz the same people who I'm worried about are the ones who see my tears and laugh at me later. We are a family of seven , I'm in self isolation. I have no friends, no one. The only people who see me are my family who are just too emotionally immature to even grasp what Depression in. Everyone is in Denial. Everyday is a never-ending loop.

Friends that are cooler than me... Some people have it way worse than me.. I think the same. I am 4 years older than you. And I don't have much knowledge of the world and even though I also don't like living like this but I want you to continue living. I want you to find happiness and be next to your mom. I was caught cutting my fingers with blades by mom and she told me that she doesn't understand what's going on my head but she doesn't want to see this again. She is fed up of losing people to suicide. My father is an alcoholic. He is drinking less since some years but it is always at peak at the time of festivals. Now he is addicted to gambling and now my family is broke. I must say always my family had been always like this. The debts were less. But now it's a lot more. The sole thing I wish for is to grow up and earn and pay off those debts. This is the only way I see I can help my mom. From my childhood I have grown up in poverty, lack of food rarely (I never used to have proper meal back then but atleast got something to eat for survival when things became worse). My parents haven't divorced and never will (taboo in my culture) . My father treats my mom like a servant, beats her and I have seen him choking her neck. My brother and I used to cry but my father threatened us that he will beat her more and many other stuffs like that if we don't stop crying so we just have to watch it. I can't stop him even now when situation like this comes. Though less but the pain is same. I was left in a dark room alone when I wasn't able to solve the maths questions properly. My father taught me. So I have to study and perform good in academics but I don't know whether I like to study that's why I am studying or I am just scared of him. Maybe my classmates think I am lucky for having a financially good family, nice father(because he treats me nice only when I score under top 3 and obey his choices whether be it in clothes to pen or how I live). Some say that I am lucky that I am struggling less because I got supportive parents, have no family problems and I am good in academics (not seriously good tbh but atleast better than them). For them I am living a happy life. Getting everything without much hardwork. I studied hard and got into a school with scholarship. This year I was supposed to enter into a college but I am in home preparing for the entrance exams because I messed up and ruined everything. And I am unable to study because of these thoughts and many things. I shouldn't write my problems like this. I am a burden anyways. Always complaining about it rather I should work by myself. I am like a bad omen you know.

I kind of became completely emotionally numb a few months ago and I really just stopped caring about most things. Nothing is fun anymore. I can’t maintain direct eye contact with another person because my eyes are so dead that I just look flat out creepy. I’m going crazy and I’m hallucinating black figures and hearing footsteps behind me and whispers at night. I’m starting to get used to it and have began to accept the changes for what they are. I have extremely intense urges that make me feel extremely energized for no reason at all, and it’s becoming to the point that I can barely play sports because I might hurt somebody. I have a small group of people I call friends, but lately it just feels like they’re more of accessories than actual people; like they don’t even exist, or maybe I’m the accessory that doesn’t exist to them. I have so many doubts about everything, but I’ve just accepted that things will never go the way I want them to, and they never have anyway. Maybe I’ve reached the final stage where nothing matters to me at all.

[@sleepy_existence]

The thing is, I hated it when I was asked if I experienced prolonged, unexplainable sadness. I usually had to answer no, because it's not always about being sad. What I experience most of all is being so emotionally NUMB that sometimes it's almost physical as well. On top of that, I do have thoughts about death, but not the kind that are about unaliving myself. It's more that, I think so much and so deeply about my place in the world that I have at least two existential crisis's a month and it causes me to be pretty pessimistic about life, if only inside my mind. I am diagnosed with clinical depression, I just don't like the simplified questions that medical professionals ask as they check the boxes off on the list and then say you're fine when you yourself know you very much are NOT FINE. Might be a pretty dumb pet peeve, but I have it regardless.

@@prabharavisundar4252 ​​ Firstly consult a psychologist if needed. Secondly do the following. Reduce negative thoughts to feel better. Your breath is directly related to your mind [brain] causing negative thoughts-anxiety. For a relaxed life sit on a chair, back erect, eyes closed, be still and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for around 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight with your thoughts. Slowly they will reduce and relax the mind. No deep inhalation-exhalation or breath counting needed. Anytime of the day or night before sleep sit or lie down on your back and observe your breath. Be as still as possible as it reduces negative thoughts. Make this a lifetime daily habit to have a good life. Best wishes Shyaaam Sir. -Counsellor.

Lost 2 brothers in a mva,me and my dad were also in the car.Shortly following that my grandfather and grandmother passes, my mother died of l believed a broken heart . After that,military service,law enforcement career, 2 divorces, father passed. Messed up,stuck in childhood memories, and 80s. Got married again,wonderful companion, spiritual growth got me running again Relieved from agonizing depression which takes away and rob you from happiness and love.A silent condition that eventually kills you..heart condition, cancer,organ failure etc. Emotion drenching, diabolical condition. Be strong,you can be curred...you have to work hard and move on. Life is a gift,accept what you can not change,don't dwell in the past for long.Cherish positive memories .Learn from bad experiences, forgive, and include yourself for the mistakes you made,wrong decisions, things you said or d did, and can't be corrected. Today is the first day of the rest of your life, appreciate it.❤

The thing with depression is that, even when the signs that are present are MILD, they should not be underestimated and swept under the carpet. By the time that the signs indicate severe depression, as described in this beautiful video, a huge amount of opportunities have already gone astray for the person to be helped, either by speaking out, or by friends and family who are sensitive to changes and who care enough to notice and try help. Thank you for this cool presentation of a very important and real issue.
