What people don't realize is depression isn't an emotion, it's a mental state. You can be happy, sad, angry, any emotion you want to feel but at the end of the day the depression is still there.

[@5LJ3A2]

Accurate

[@Ytbkt]

Depression is a mental state which also has a direct impact on the physical health. It’s such a complex thing. Mental illness is not just being lazy or sad..or angry.. or whatever. I’m glad that people are spreading information because honestly some people who have mental illness can’t even make sense of what’s happening to them… this helps a lot. We are no longer hiding in the shadows.

[@tommyjones7096]

People think of depression as deep sadness, but it's really deep despair. Sadness is hurting because you're unhappy. Despair is becoming numb to sadness, joy, anger, fear, etc. because you see no point to any of it. It's how so many people with depression can still remain functional and how so many of their family members & friends can be blindsided when they end it all. "But they didn't seem depressed!"

What you wrote is 💯 true

[@Piriyagengaram]

To the point... accurate.... The numbness and the pointless ness

[@Puuws]

I think you are describing resignation as a mental attitude that can follow a long period off despair. Despair is a strongly choatic feeling and very emotional while the numbness you can up in is the opposite of that. Depression can be many things but often its someone pushing through in survival mode while shutting their feeling off

[@f50koenigg]

What I hate about it is when you open up about it to the people you are close with and they just shrug you off and give you advice like it is easy to just snap out of it and be happy.

[@starslit725]

[@reginamushi6582]

They forget we are all different ❤

[@vanessab2392]

True. They tell you oh just be happy. You're like what?!

[@apindakut]

People think depression is just being sad but it’s more than that, it’s despair, hating yourself, being angry and than happy, pushing others away from you even though they show you love, comparing yourself to other people constantly, finding no more joy in the purpose of life, feeling like you don’t want to live anymore, being self conscious all the time. 😔☹️

If you please allow me to give you advice. start taking L-tryptophan, Omega 3 and D vitamins as supplements, these supplements have helped me a lot, sunlight every morning is very important at least 15 min. Therapy works as a form of support but most important building a relationship with Jesus Christ is what keeps me going and gives me the freedom.

Not trying to diagnose, but have you looked into bipolar 2? A lot of people overlook it because when you say bipolar, most people think of the stereotypical symptoms. With bd2, tho, the highs are not real high but the lows are really low. That is why the highs get overlooked because you may think u r just happy n having a good day. Just thought id say something because you said burst of energy before it hits n it can be like that.

[@angtheascender4620]

I’m literally sick of trying, and chasing goals, and coming up with reasons to like living. I hate to say it that way but I feel like that’s what life is, finding something to live for and enjoy life about. I realize that on the inside there’s something missing or underdeveloped and I just can’t live life like a mentally healthier person can. I have to try extra hard just to be a healthy person on a baseline level which makes having daily life goals on top of that EXTRA strenuous, but no one knows the work I do every second of everyday. THATS the painful part. They just judge the pouting and the “deer in headlights” look on my face, but I’m not only sad but I’m tired. I’ve been at this all my life and sometimes I feel like I’m just not there yet. I wish I could just turn my brain and emotions off, maybe I can get more done. I’ve just become worse as a human as the years gone by. Self preservation and survival has been the name of the game, I don’t even think I’m capable of loving myself and others like I use to feel when I wad younger. That childlike heart is wilted.

Its insanely difficult to battle depression especially if you are own your own. To anyone with depression or anxiety, I swear to God you are not alone and you are loved and you deserve so much more love and respect. Please don't give up. Seek help. People will take care of you but you need to take that first step. Do it for yourself.

[@FinTax]

Very correctly put. I have gone through for more than 1 year and still going through but intensity has reduced. Keep yourself busy. I got performance appraisal even when i was working under depression. My subordinate complimented me saying that i cool and nice boss. But inside i only know what i was going through. But it motivated to keep myself busy . So my advice would be keep yourself busy if u want to get out of early.

As someone who has had depression, the 1st one is also accurate. Depends on if the person will try to hide it or not.

[@narlywaves2371]

The first one is very accurate. We stigmatize people who look sad. I don't trust people claiming to have smiling depression. You can't hide depression. It doesn't make sense.

[@kandystorressantiago8865]

The first one is crippling depression. This is the point in which you start losing jobs, losing friends, and have no energy to do anything. Maybe need someone to take care of you. The second one is functioning depression in which you can still do stuff and are trying to keep everything together even though you could be at the brink of losing it.

[@TammyKimball-x3s]

[@SirBorkYT]

This is very true, and is very important to keep in mind. There are probably, no, definitely at least one person who you see every day, or many times during the week, that is suffering through something, and you probably don't realize. It is always a good idea to check in with your friends, keep an ear out for how they are speaking or what they are saying, how much energy they have, and if its more or less than normal, so you can help them.

[@Eman__7]

I was in a deep depression back in 2020. I used to go to work and do my tasks with my face full of tears. I remember also couple of times when I used to cook lunch for myself with my eyes full of tears and a dead feeling inside.. it was a horrible couple of weeks until I started therapy for the first time in my life. So I relate to the video. However, I would also say that depression is a phase not a temporary one week feelings !!.. so if you reach my level or the level in this video I would urge you to seek help as soon as possible. Most of the times it will spiral to much worse situation going from this level.. unless u reach out for help and used all the resources available to u. Be safe and take care of yourself and your emotions ❤

It's hard and I hate when people tell me to get counseling. I just feel like they just want to hand me over to someone else instead of helping with the pain.

[@brightpurpose1869]

When I tell my daughter to consider counseling is because I really don’t have the skills or tools to help her heal. Most times it is well intentioned to advise to reach for help.

[@andrewp5732]

I’m saying this as someone with depression and a slew of other things: Assuming you’re an adult, it’s your responsibility to go get help. Depression is a treatable illness. Medication will help you chemically, counseling will help with coping skills. Sometimes you do just need a friend for a shoulder to cry on, and a good friend will be there for that when it’s needed. But if you’re not taking steps to help yourself, no one else is going to be able to help you, and you’re just going to become an energy vacuum for the people in your life If you’re still a kid, that’s a different story. You still need to get help, but you’re going to need help to get help. Talk to a parent. If your parents don’t help, talk to any adult who you trust. Preferably someone at school maybe with some kind of authority who isn’t afraid to go to your parents and suggest getting you treatment. Get the ball rolling. Either way, best of luck. Be strong and get treatment.

[@baeldaikokuten_yj6792]

They are telling you to go counselling because it’s for your own good. They have no skills to help you that’s why they want you to go to counselling

[@brodyhill5350]

Counseling does help, but then you’ll be more depressed when you get the bill.

[@_Kalakos]

Therapists are equipped to deal with this. You may see it as they dont care, but maybe they just recognize that they cant help. Depression is a bitch and it makes you believe things that are not true. Also, like someone else said, it is our job to seek help from professionals. Just like if you got a broken bone, you wouldnt go to a family member to fix it; youd go to the er. Ive been in a place where i cried for help n no one did anything. I suffered for years. Ive learned that it is up to me to help myself, and yes it is hard taking the first step, but no one can take it for you. Sometimes it is easier to blame everyone else because in a fucked up way, we dont wanna be healed. Why? Because this is what we know and are used to n in its own way it feels comfortable. Thats why we need professionals to help us rewire our brains and thought patterns. So do it for yourself because you deserve it.
