Are you Depressed? | Top 10 Signs to Watch For!

[@MrGiraffeofficial]

I finally decided to see my Dr. Day 3 on meds. It was affecting my job and family. Thank you for uploading this video!

[@harmanss6077]

Other symptoms in chronic severe depression are some kind of frequent Vissilling sounds in the ears, numbness, nerve pains, tensions etc in the head, hands, legs, palpitations of heart etc.,

What you say is helpful and may put me in the right direction, however the background music is too loud and distracting. I will try to listen to this again. I wish I could tune out the music.

Mine began during the first lockdown 2019. Separation and the end of my relationship with my fiancé and we just had a baby together about 5mths old. Then my other daughter and her mental issues she tried to hurt herself and was admitted to 2 different hospitals. It affected my work I was angry, extremely sad, lonely, worthless and isolated because I had to move into the other room and we just started to rent a house together and she decided to end the relationship after 1 month into the rental. I had many fleeting thoughts of hurting myself during my drive home at night no one would notice of I drove off the road. Or at work, I'd think about stepping onto the tracks as the train pulled in. I denied how I felt and these changes thought I could get through it to be strong and not weak. To be a man. It consumed me. I hid it and masked it through binge eating then would punish myself by working out 2-3x a day 7 days a week. It kept consuming me. It took all of my strength to hide it at work making jokes all the time and when work was done it pulled me back in. It was like I had an alter ego. I couldn't let anyone really know because I was ashamed. I would always cry on my drives or just sit in my room doing nothing or binge eating then working out. For 2yrs it was like this. Then beginning of 2022 I became physically ill and being in the hospital made it worse and changed me even more. I had no idea how I got septic arthritis and with it gave me a gout flare up. On my birthday, my heart rate reached 217bpm! Terrifying coincidence because my birthday is Feb. 17th. I thought I was going to die alone without saying goodbye to my kids and my current gf. I accepted that I was going to die too and begged the nurses not to leave me alone. It felt like forever to get my heart beat down. When I was discharged, I went back to another hospital due to an infection in my portable IV PICC line and superficial thrombophlebitis. I couldn't believe it I thought I was healing until that. But no, another gout flare up and then the last thing I got was covid. Sick from Feb to April. Still dealing with my daughter's mental issues, seeing my youngest daughter only through Zoom while I was trying to get better and now with my gf's mental issues it was overwhelming. I did nothing but try to get some movement and exercise but I couldn't. And my gf's worry and anxiety over me and my health caused her to get fits of anger. And I blamed myself. I blamed myself for getting sick, being a burden, useless and worthless. It was so hard to tell my gf that I wasn't the same. That I wasn't the same before the hospital and especially after. It broke me. I'm sorry for writing too much. I can't seem to get over it.

I hope you find your way to peace aand regain your joy🤍🤍 please be hopeful! It's gonna be okay in the end

[@melindawong8413]

I have not been myself since the passing of my dearly beloved pug last year but I really do not understand why I still have so much pain and grief when I talk about him. I finally went to my doctor yesterday and was prescribed Cipralex which I hope in time I will be able to get better. Thanks for the video about depression becos' I never thought I would be in this situation, I always thought it was normal for me to be sad about losing something I truly love becos' I am always a positive person.

[@brucejones8047]

You are not alone by any means. Meds can sometimes make things worse. Trial and error takes a toll on your time and life. Meds should work as quickly as a aspirin or pain meds.

[@yakvlutaddict13]

Wow now I know I have huge anxiety and subtle depression sometimes. Thank you. I was starting to think I have depression since 2019.Now i know

[@crittersconsidered4763]

I watched this and your natural depression treatments video and this helped a lot. I'm already diagnosed, but it's just nice to listen to someone who is understanding about it.

[@ghostiigoesboo]

I’m not diagnosed but I counted all of these as true to myself. I’m too scared to tell my parents about it because I’m scared they won’t believe me, or won’t do anything about it.

[@rawdog314]

How are you managing it?is it better now? I have been diagnosed with severe depression and severe anxiety, I thought I just had anxiety as I associated depression with suicidal thoughts etc but when looked at properly, loss of interest in things that give me pleasure,lack of sleep etc but the worst has been the fatigue, I had to cut down to 2 days a week working because I just couldn't handle it, I get home in the evening and I literally can't even speak to my partner but then I don't sleep well either,it's horrible. Been prescribed lexapro but I don't wanna take it because I couldn't handle feeling worst,I'd rather combat this naturally.

[@omarn4830]

Mine was very little but Covid made it skyrocket

I have all of these except the suicidal thought or thoughts of harming other...Guess i should see my Doctor

Another symptom that never gets talked about is no libido. Not just low, but nonexistent in my case. Inability to feel pleasure which unfortunately includes sex.

I don´t feel enjoyment of doing the things I liked to do, or have the motivation to do them, also trying new things, my dr. put me on sertraline for 5 months, my mood is better but I still feel the lack of motivation or satisfaction :(

I have all these - my boyfriend just passed away in December....I have been so Depressed. They put me on Celexa but I don’t like how I feel on it. I have been on it for 6 weeks. I feel bloated, I have gained 5 pounds, I wake up feeling like I have a hangover and I have not been drinking. I have had headaches and I feel less energy now than before I started taking them. I feel like my depression is worse. How long does it take for Celexa to start working? I have been isolating myself

[@rawdog314]

Hope you are feeling better.

[@shafiuddin817]

How long a patient should be on anti depressant medicine?

[@CREATIONISM123]

@ Shafi Udin: 6 months to begin with to hopefully have a positive affect on the chemical balance of the brain, daily routines and longterm change - but it may take another 6 months to safely wean off; so about a year all-together I guess...

Cant someone just be fair ONCE. When i want to sleep no my brother is watching something, why? Hes girlfriend is over im alright with that. But everytime i try to explain i cant sleep "Stop playing videogames , stop watching videos at night, go outside" ANYTHING about my brother? NO, come over and tell me hes watching to loudly. "WHY DID YOU WAKE ME UP" Please shut up for once. Yes im the youngest child but STILL i dont want to go anywhere because you scream at me "mom", just everytime im sad, yeah just scream to stop me. sure

[@artkirakosyan2633]

You are not depressed. It is actually a good thing to be irritated by irritating things. You are healthy. When they scream at you or irritate you, scream back without meaning it. Make it fun, go pour a water on them while they watch a movie. Be annoying.

[@savagedeviljho2879]
