I can't believe how relatable this is

[@galaxygamer5187]

yea!

[@elliemartin2599]

so true.

[@rugma1696]

do u peeps even have depression?

[@exh-hm2sm]

RISING rr is it a competition? they probably do, probably don’t. why do you care?

[@rugma1696]

Mia I was just askin lol, no big deal

[@lifeisdepressing237]

"Don't assume you know what's going through my head". Couldn't have said it better

[@mayasirine6219]

"taking a nap because you just want to escape" been there 😞, great video 👍

[@JoeSmith-rk9fn]

Maya Sirine yes I'm going through that right now, it sucks

[@bagasinasyah6129]

Also known as a free trial of death

[@dudoklasovity2093]

how did you get out of that bad “place”?

[@Hikariii0]

Yeah me too

[@MonicaMae]

Good day with depression: not totally wanting to die, feeling like you've achieved something,even the smallest thing Bad day with depression:feeling like you're already dead, debeating if you are or not, numbness , a lot of it, trying to stay strong while watching the object you used to or use to selfharm fighting against your own self over wether to do it or not, just wanting to sink deeper and deeper... I think this summs it up for me

[@Killz-zb8ke]

Monica Mae Same.

[@Ho-oh.Builder]

yeah

[@_mitsupeachu]

I appreciate all the videos you are posting about mental health problem especially depression which i actually have. They are so relatable that you put so much effort for this. Just Thank You!

[@wonderingaround945]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! 😭

[@Kiba309]

To all the dear souls suffering from depression...Please, stay strong. It might seems like there's no way out at times but this is just your sick brain tricking you... Please remember that, even if it's so hard to believe. You might not see one now, but there's is always a reason worth staying alive that is awaiting you in the future. I suffered from massive depressive episodes in the past and thought about giving up way too often, perhaps just like you do right now. But in retrospective, I can tell you that staying alive and working through my illness was the best decision of my life, and so will be yours. I would've missed out on the most beautiful things. The beautiful things that make your life worth living.

[@floofyclouds8200]

Synesthesist I'm sorry if I come across as rude but there is a difference between being depressed and being suicidal. I've had depression for as long as I could remember and I'm sorry to break this to you, but it doesn't get better. Even with the 'great' life I have now depressing and suicidal thoughts still come and they stay, and no matter how great people tell me my life is, it's getting harder and harder to believe. The thing is depression doesn't care about how great your life is, or how attractive you are or anything else. Once it chooses its victim, it doesn't go away until thats all the person is. I do appreciate your concern but I don't want help as of now, thank you.

[@jasminee2320]

Synesthesist Wow, thank you for this. I actually cried while reading it.

[@danielm793]

+PhantomAnimations That is true! I've been depressed for years despite having a good life. It just felt like living itself wasn't really meant for me. I always observed other people and saw how excited they were about everything. All I wanted to do is hide in a dark corner and rot there for the rest of my life. I'm currently taking antidepressants and they do help me quite a lot. All the waiting for better times and trying to think positive didn't do anything for me.

[@ag267]

Thank you this applies to any illness really. I.have severe diagnosed anxiety, depression and a chronic illness called p.o.t.s

[@justmanic9673]

I got called selfish today by my aunt and my mother told me she couldn't help me because I was sad all the time. This is relatable.

[@elizabethjohnson4623]

A good day for me is getting what I need to get done. A bad day is not even being able to comprehend starting on it, because my head is so clouded with negative thoughts and migraines.

[@sainihritik6467]

Just described about me..... Whole thing is something I always go through... Even writing this is way more difficult.... And the last line the 'You don't know what's going in my mind ' describe how I feel when people ask me not to be soooo lazy.

[@meghunt1894]

This is so true ❤️ people call me lazy when I struggle to get up like today and people get mad when I struggle to answer people or shut them out I can’t help it

[@alexappelbe9575]

This is my life 😣😭

[@contessa8027]

Alex Appelbe same

[@galaxygamer5187]

same

[@purpelysumalde]

Yayayaya...Im not alone..yay

[@jabaezconstantine7693]

Alex IceBoy my life too

[@marousam693]

The last line tho

[@Rengeoh]

It really becomes a problem when these two things connect with each other and you can't tell the difference because you're used to it so much (like being tired and wanting to escape in a nap)

[@wennyjuwita501]

this explains everything. Can't say much but literally, this is what I've been doing through my whole life. People around me thought that I'm lazy but actually they'll never understand what's gg on inside my head.

[@jimmylee5793]

These days, im always depressed every days... i just wanna get outta this mood this killing me so hard ...

[@wordoflife8158]

I'm Bipolar and this is me right now- a good day with depression. Even on my day off, I got up, dressed in more than sweats, sorted out attendance problems at college and bought a book. When I go manic, it's near impossible to sleep for more than a few hours here and there, let alone stay in and do nothing! I secretly love my funny manic times.

[@Alisen12]

I love that last sentence. It is what I am trying to teach people around me all the time: Do not assume other people's feelings. You can't know and by assuming you might cause a lot of harm. Go and ask people about their feelings, most people will talk if you make them feel like they can trust you.

[@altatmccc8253]

HOW DOES THIS NOT HAVE MORE VIEWS AND LIKES??!?

[@stellar6519]

I felt all this about a year ago. I don't want to self diagnose because I'm not an expert, but I did experience these things. For everyone it's different, and for me this overall experience was just grayness. I didn't know what was going on and I didn't want to know either. I never had motivation to do anything and I never found anything worth doing. Since then having happy days actually surprises me to the max... when there's something worth laughing for or smiling for instead of faking it. I've been to counselors and school counselors multiple times and it annoys me because I want to be left alone, but I don't want to be lonely. I want the counselors to hear me, but a voice in the back of my head tells me they don't care, they only want to get paid and have this job over with. It's a constant weird fight between yourself. I always felt like a whiny special snowflake each time I tried to open up to someone about it. When I told my dad he said "He wasn't my equal and that I shouldn't expect him to try and help me since I was only a teen." I didn't have that many happy days, it just went for a while and slowly thinned out as I forced myself to be positive. Sorry for the dramatics this is just how I've experienced things in this video, again, this has never been confirmed by a doctor so don't use this comment as info on how depression may feel like or if you have it or not. Ever since it was at its height, the worst symptoms I've had were no motivation to do anything because there was no point. I've just thought positive about things, I know it's a piece of overused advice but no matter whether you're sad or doctor-diagnosed depressed, just try to be happy. There is so much worth being happy for and you might not see it, but it's there. If it isn't, you can make it happen. I tried talking to more people at school and made more friends. Just know there's so much for you to live for and you can make that happen.

[@RoseBlackRocks]

My parents think I'm just lazy all the time and I just let them because it would be a nightmare to try and make them understand how hard is for me to even just get up everyday.

[@paolazouaklara98]

If you want I can help you. You can talk with me

[@Gobey1Kenobi]

Man having so many bad days lately... This is so relatable

[@Herbypeppy]

Depression can be sooo debilitating. It makes you feel so detached and disengaged and so unmotivated which another would see as pure laziness and procrastion which makes a depression sufferer feel even worse about. Its a cycle and its hard to break because of the strong hold this mental illness has over a sufferer.

[@ClandestineGirl16X]

Thank you so much for this video

[@PlacidShark_]

This may be stupid, or it may not. But this is so relatable that it actually made me cry. The realisation that soooo many people mistake depression for something else and it sucks. And everything he said, sucks. Fml

[@gin22672]

Mia Maihi Yeah, but I don't think we can really blame most people for taking our depression the wrong way. Sometimes, I can imagine that it'd be hard to tell for others that we act the way we are because we're sad. And it's just so hard for them to understand because it's difficult for us to explain it to them. But yeah, it can be annoying that others are not able to understand or go up to us to talk about our feelings if they sense that we are depressed.

[@bayaahlemchebarli9322]

This resonates so much with me ❤ I started crying at the end. More videos like this are needed in this world.

[@dandie8278]

My parents call me lazy and unmotivated but they don't know that I have depression

[@indigodragon0613]

Yup. I’m revolving mostly in the bad days right now. My depression is fueled by the everyday events occurring all the time. Knowing exactly how many people and non human animals die every year, month, week, day, second is extremely horrible. I’m currently in school and so far this year, I’ve spent a whole month absent plus a week of half days. The best part of my day is when I get to go back to sleep.

[@sidisbored]

Your KZbin channel's blowing up now! You have something that motivates you now! Keep grinding bro!

[@joeylaitala]

This really describes how depression makes me feel. Good to know I'm not alone.

[@PolarizeLPS]

THANK YOU

[@cosmoxvii5750]

Spot on dude. It’s scary how accurately this describes me.

[@Ekumesvlogs]

😢 Thanks for describing it well and clear. I can never explain it to ppl when i need to explain myself. I keep losing jobs bcos of this exact situation. No one understand whats in the depressed mind. Me also still not understanding myself and accept it fully. Always feels bad that im lazy, delay things, wake up in morninv just to watxh tv instead of taking shower 1st. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@tomatopastekevin8552]

My teachers always say to just rest or go for a drink when my depression comes they don’t understand I thought I was crazy I’m so happy they made this vid I hope my friends and teachers watch this and understand a bit more

[@puzzlepiece2502]

I feel like all that is actually necessary in life is 1 the slightest hint of confidence (even the courage to raise a hand to answer a question that you know the answer to) 2 someone to be open with (a friend, sibling, close relative) 3 a voice, it's as simple as saying hi to a stranger. Some people don't have any of these, maybe literally. And I'm not from the movies so my thing is, "Someone's gotta suffer, out of all the different mes, I guess I have to do the difficult task." Forward I go into the painful place of reality.

[@IheartChiroptera]

Once during a depressive episode I changed my phone greeting to "Life is the worst thing I can think of". Left it on for two weeks. Escitalopram has been good to me.

[@tayleign]

I don’t really know if i have depression or not but i can relate to these so much

[@amelieschulz4075]

Sitting here with tears in my eyes because I'm so shocked about what I've been through and so proud I made it.

[@august4476]

Having been through and mostly recovered from many years of depression, this is very accurate.

[@LiLiKOiOiOi]

I can relate to this so much, whoever wrote this i love you and i understand you and you arent alone in this💓

[@itsmimizim7672]

And some people say: social media is the reason and so on But its not like that for everyone. For me and some other people, it helps because things like this video helps you know that you are not alone. :)

[@hollyken3]

"it's the difference between taking a nap because you're tired and taking a nap because you want to escape"

[@hanac5586]

Watching this while I'm trying to take care of my responsibilities. I feel mentally and physically tired so everything feels way harder, even something simple like eating. Sucks.

[@thefbiagentbehindurscreen5390]

The thing is... even on the bad days I have to get up and go to school and I have to face a full school day masking it when all I wanna do is cry

[@alicewaslost3058]

A good day for me (i also have severe depression) is when nothing too bad happens but usually nothing good, A bad day is when nothing good seems to go my way

[@normadesmond6017]

know how you are feeling. Been dealing with this for half of my life now. And that's 30 years.

[@normadesmond6017]

@Pinklady-sm6jxthanxxs for thinking with me to overcome this.

[@ombayasu8657]

I relate to the whole “laying in bed because I want to escape” and the lack of motivation. Luckily I started talking to a school counselor today and I’ve been a bit better. Not a lot but, still progress.

[@thegoroakechi]

I'm gonna send this to my mom the next time she yells at me for not putting away my things or not tidying up or staying in bed all day crying

[@allyattack1232]

I have depression and I’m only 13. When I wake up, I don’t want to wake up and hit snooze about 6 times. When I do finally get up, I get changed and I listen to music. I listen to music so that people and my brothers won’t talk to me as I’m going up to my bus stop. When I get in the bus, I usually sit alone, and I think about why no one wants to sit by me. My brothers usually sit with their friends and I don’t want them to come sit with me and be lonely with me. When I get to school, I take a long time opening my locker, not because I can’t open it, because after I get my books and paper work, I have no one to talk to. I walk around the school, hoping these 4 kids won’t see me and laugh at me, or slam a door in my face. When lunch comes around, I have no one to sit with at lunch. My brothers won’t sit with me either. I just go in the library and read a book, hoping that those 4 kids don’t see me, and hoping that other kids in the library don’t laugh at me, or stare at me. But they do. They always do. When I’m at school, I put on a smile, and I’m okay at doing it. When I get home, I sit home, laying in my bed, thinking about how those 4 kids laugh at me, how people think I’m weird, how no one wants to talk to me. I have nobody. Then right before I go to bed, I curl up and I squeeze my eyes shut because all the voices in my head make me feel worthless and that no one wants me here. That usually last till 1 or 2am. Then I wake up, and do everything again and again.

[@bubblebutt3508]

Sometimes it's almost impossible to smile. And when I do, it doesn't feel good at all

[@radenmchaerul2006]

my family always said that i am so lazy and never do anything. they don't even know what the hell is going on and even if they know, they're not gonna think about it that much. meanwhile im turning into dust slowly and what they say just makes me feel numb and useless even more.

[@junglejim-hs7nb]

oh my god this is exactly what its like

[@claraetlegrossesqueuesraci238]

This is what happen for people in depression like me I’m sorry dude for being in depression

[@madman2u]

It's really debilitating to lack the motivation you need to get things done, to not have or care at all or enough about goals. To not look forward to the next day, or even have that thought because neither today or tomorrow matters with your current state of mind. You see the problems, but you can't fix them due to the lack of motivation. You get stuck, escape very attractive. But you're chasing a dream, but it won't last or fix anything. The years go by and the days blend together. Your memory gets worse. You stop caring about things that makes a fulfilling life. You stop caring about relationships. You neglect your health. You'll have good and bad days, but eventually those doesn't matter either.

[@kaitheking0x116]

People think I’m just a tech savvy or I ignore people that’s why I listen to music or am always on my phone. The real reason, it keeps me from thinking depressing thought. I literally use my phone or music as a distraction from my own thoughts or else I feel like I don’t matter or feel anxious. Don’t judge people with how they act and what they do before your meet them you’ll never know what could be going through there head at the time.

[@BrainTribune]

With depression, the body functions are completely shut down, that you wish you could stop timing, sleep for consecutive days (hibernate). Sometimes, I literally envy bears when they slumber just because they're in a state where their mind is off.

[@nicolaruef5101]

I’m depressed since 3 years and this is so true

[@Jivi_Galaxy]

*Don't assume you know what's going through my head* I wish my family can understand this. They think they know about me more than myself.

[@kisherian6031]

Spot on, brother. Spot on.

[@Evilmindy12]

I’m pushing through, but it’s definitely a bad day with depression.

[@Govind-qo3yk]

May all be happy and healthy.

[@meh794]

Ugh I can't take it anymore and will definitely talk to my mom before sleep about going to a psychiatrist

[@NoncedolucyNtsangani]

I can't believe how relatable

[@july7578]

thank you for the video

[@przangie]

This is so accurate it hurts

[@Scorpitarios]

Depression feels like as if every single part of my body was chained to an iron ball.

[@TheDevilsHighway]

Every. Single. Day. My dad calls me lazy and I’m constantly tormented for not doing anything.

[@hobabi]

i really appreciate this, thank you.

[@qpwoeiruty108]

i do also have some symptoms, and i will try something that i haven't tried since 2015 - live without internet for at least month

[@francocouste5146]

"Don't assume you know what's going through my head" I don't really think I have depression, but damn, I never related so much about something

[@Femtosett]

Im 16 and i feel like this all the time...And i dont tell people becasue they'll start making assumptions and ask if im feeling okay...And i hate when people ask if im okay like they care....Its just human nature ti ask if you're "Okay".

[@ericksintos4643]

Everything that you said was on point. This is extremely accurate.

[@ssimms8995]

Relatable. I will procrastinate work until like 3 am😭😭😭. My parents always call me lazy

[@dikhed1983]

Oh my god. I use sleeping as an escape. I sleep in the bath sometimes because there's no responsibilities, no time limits, no pressure. Like time is frozen in there. I just want to fall asleep and never wake up. I take days off school and I feel guilty, but when I'm there I feel just as bad and have to pretend everything's fine. I feel guilty all the time. I am constantly failing the people around me and myself. I'm failing my teachers, my friends, my family, even my chiropractor. I suck. And sometimes I wish I'd never been here at all.

[@natashiavalerie2500]

what i hate about deppresion ppl is, they keep saying "you dont know how i feel" "you dont understand this" "youll never know bcs you never gone through this" like okay, i may not understand how you feel, but i just want to make you feel better, just want to be be beside you, telling u that youre not alone.....

[@Nati4Truth]

Natashia Valerie u shouldn't be angry on such comments..I can relate to those though . . We.actually push away ppl sometimes so hard, coz of ego irony.. we don't want our loved ones start to worry that much about us,but same time we think even if u would know, only me can save myself,, trust me, we want ppl around us more than we show it. We want them just being there and listen. Not solving our problems, not reasking,.just listen n have compassion. n let know that if we wanna talk they r always available. But.When those demons attack, we forget about all kindness n empathy we get from ppl.. so that leaving us alone is the worst thing ever..

[@glowinthedarkzombie]

Wow...so accurate I'm going to cry

[@jeydirmz6485]

Oh god. I might be depressed. I failed in an thearth audition yesterday and today I just can't get out of bed. Im just thinking all the time that I could have done it better. I feel so empty.

[@a.s7252]

Wish I could show this to my parents

[@sjain8853]

very good editing! good content, accurate and truthful. thanks

[@opedromagico]

Great video, bro.. I know those feelings >.

[@Dave11078]

God's healing my anxiety.

[@johncerna6163]

Good to know am not alone 😢

[@fizzipills193]

I was having a bad day with my depression, and I got dragged out of bed, pushed around and hit.. Another day I had my phone thrown down the stairs because I didn't get out of bed soon enough..

[@kevinmcconkey9468]

I’m in a bad place and don’t have much left holding me on... I don’t think I can win this. 😭

[@oligirlstales386]

It's worse when you wanna take a nap,but you can't even fall asleep.

[@numetaltradgirl]

Everyone who thinks depression is an excuse needs to see this!

[@miketrevors3295]

this is exactly how it feels!

[@Hana-dp3wr]

wow...gotta show this to my mum and maybe everyone else who thinks he knows me

[@Austin_Dale]

It’s getting pretty bad for me. I’m definitely at the point where I don’t see a reason to be awake. Suicidal ideation has crept in.

[@ruithebaguette2862]

Not tired, but exhausted

[@bigzeusy4168]

This is so true.

[@DrunkPhotographer]

I sometimes have days similar to his bad days, but very very rarely. Maybe I've just been having really bad days in general? Dunno I don't think I'm depressed

[@whoami4534]

I thought I was imagining everything, My thoughts, emotions, etc. I mean, you couldn't be that accurate with something as subjective as feelings... right? But when I was watching this video, I saw that there is a lot more to my state that I thought. It's scary that I have experienced these 'bad days' before I even thought of my emotional state... I am not professionally diagnosed, so I am not sure. I still don't know if what I am feeling is real or is my brain making excuses to not finish my assignments on time, if not at all.

[@alo_tsl8252]

same dude

[@demetraa2923]

I can relate but I have never been to a psychiatric so they can find if I have depression or not. I am really scared to talk to my parents about that.

[@lin5062]

I sometimes feel like I am not worthy to be sad, or I have no reason to be sad and sould not be depressed as many of my friends must be much more stressful than me, but I am depressed, like for no reason.... Because of this, I'm not sure if I have depression.

[@Kris-wy1lc]

i think i might have depression because sometimes i just wanna sink in my bed and do nothing and im lazy and i forget alot...

[@Cherry-hu4xm]

So relatable.

[@noclue112]

When I have one good day, I feel like I'm in heaven.

[@ardialver9414]

when you see a man about who you can tell that he is not okay or that he is sad its not anymore just depression this man is fighting with suicide or suicidal thoughts because absolutely no one realized that I was not okay everybody thought that I was doing great but in reality I wasn't. first ones who started to realize that I'm not okay started to realize that when I had suicidal thoughts time to time but not every day and pretty many people started to realize that I'm not okay when it was so far that I had suicidal thoughts every single day but still no one did anything about it and I'm not able to ask for help so I'm fighting with all this all alone. I think that they do something only if I`d commit suicide attempt.

[@allysonmillion]

My mouth is hanging open because I feel like this is me.
