I know exactly how you feel, People say that I should just think positively and be happy, they also say that I'm just seeking attention and that depression isn't real. Sometimes I just need to rant and get out everything that makes me feel depressed but when people tell me that I'm only doing it for attention it just makes me feel guilty for feeling the way I do.

Omg! I hate when someone says "just get over it". I tried explaining to one of the staff at cadets about my mental health and he literally just said "Well I get nervous when I have to make a speech in front of a room full of people but we just have to get over it". I'm sorry but getting a bit nervous before something like that is nothing like having panic attacks every single day because someones looking at you or because you stuttered or said one stupid insignificant word wrong in a conversation in your friend group. Urgh.

Depression should be taken seriously. Some physicians/doctors do not know how to treat it properly. Patients with depression should be referred to Psychiatry. I do not mean to be offensive, please do not misunderstand this. Psychiatrists are the right guys to treat all the issues related to the mind, they have specialized to do this... so, they know accurately how to use medication to treat this kind of disorders and how to handle each person's needs to truly help him/her through the not-easy path of stabilization/recovery.

I'm not sure if I got depression or not. What I do know is I can't really remember the last time I was happy. Very recently I've become very withdrawn from activities I once looked forward to. Now they feel like a chore. I feel more comfortable in my own space, with my own thoughts. My personality has dried up and in turn this makes me feel very aware of not wanting to talk to anyone. Those I once spoke to I no longer make eye contact with as to avoid a conversation. On the odd day I have gone against this I said to someone 'I feel like an outsider watching everyone else progress' they didn't really comprehended the message I was putting out.

The truth is I have no friends, only acquaintances. I took up exercising for the very reason you mention. I used to really enjoy it and look forward to the next session. These days its an effort to go, and when I do, I can't wait to leave. The feeling of wanting to leave rises to the point where I just have to gather my stuff and go. This could be 20 minutes into an hour session. One or two at the gym have noticed this and mentioned it to me. I pass it off as I have other things to do. Everything feels like it's spiralling out of control.

It’s almost impossible to explain the mental agony of depression to someone who has never had it. You spend every second of your waking day in a place of horror, complete darkness and complete emptiness. A place that won’t allow any glimpse of hope, happiness or purpose. The past is so so unbearably sad to think about, there is no future, and the present is cold and bleak and meaningless…but this doesn’t capture the pain someone goes thru. The thing, whatever it is, that hangs over you, trapping you, making you feel that way is something else, something indescribable It’s the last place I would want anyone to go to. Pull my socks up? You stick your socks up your arse. I don’t have it anymore and everyday is happy now. Please please don’t ever give up trying. The end of the misery could always be just round the corner.

As for me, I suppose I've always suffered from depression and anxiety. I only realized that's what it was when I was a teenager. As a kid, I was so angry and couldn't take someone teasing me and everyone would wonder why, but it would always hurt. Every time. I know now the word for what I was feeling and that word is insecure. I always felt insecure as a kid. Fast forward a bit and I eventually got over that feeling of insecurity. But, insecurity and anger was replaced by apathy and sadness. I always felt alone because connecting with others was always hard. At least now I know why. Over the years, your mind goes to some very dark places, especially when you're alone. Which for me, most of my time was spent alone. A lot of people, I know would see no point in living when looking that far into the dark. I did too. But, I also saw no point in dying either. Dying is no escape. Dying is simply going around a blind corner. We have no idea what it's like, and for all we know, it could be far worse than living. I still rarely feel a moment of happiness, but once in a while, when I know I'm surrounded by people who care and know I'm not alone, those are the moments I live for. The best moments. The moments where depression isn't as bad as it usually is. Moments where I almost feel normal. And I think that for a lot of people with depression, they struggle where I do, which is just human contact. I know depression is a mental illness, but human contact really does ease the suffering. It helps to not feel alone when you get some people you care about and know who care about you in your life.

[@zoebooboop3741]

Damn I think this is the comment I relate to the most ,as a kid I was also very angry and insecure but I never let anyone ever see me sad or hurt a few years ago a big change occurred in my life and I was suddenly in a new country . The fact that I was different from all the other kids around me didn’t help with my insecurities. Then covid happened and I just went to this really dark place . I stayed in my room all day and just basically hid from the world. I pushed the few friends I had away because I thought they all hated me. I basically pissed away my entire highschool experience. None of the things I liked brought me joy and i lost trust in every one,always afraid that they might hurt me or I might hurt them. Got into weed which made a bit crazier at first but slowly it started to really help me . I’m starting to feel a little better but I’m just so scared that it’s all gonna just come back or maybe I’m still in the same dark place and don’t even know it .

[@luisamargarida4748]

You are so right... and you are not alone in this, I feel the same way, I used to hurt myself just to feel pain in other places than my chest. About the thinking... I know its hard but you cant give up, you cant let your mind control you, you need to do something that takes your mind out, like watching a movie, a tv show, a video, maybe music (i cant listen to music because they affect me super hard in emotions). And about the felling that you dont have no one but everyone tells you they are there for you is because your body needs a certain attention that those people arent giving, I felt the same about a friend, he always tolded me that I can talk you him and stuff but, when I talk to him about some stuff he just wont listen and start talking about other things but still says hes listening to you, he makes me feel like Im a joke... so even if he tells me that I can count on him, deep inside I feel like I cant... And maybe thats what you are feeling, its like saying I love you, You cant just make a person belives that you love her just because you said I love you, she will only belive you when you show her that you love her, with this is the same, your friends can tell you 1000 times that they are there for you, but if they dont show it you will never belive in them and will never have the courage to talk to them

I don't know if I actually have depression or just extremely fragile and break down a lot. It's like when I'm not occupied, I can feel the numbness sinking in. I over think when I can think, and my train of thoughts just end up criticizing my self and belittle my self, every time that I happens I feel so worthless, or unwanted, unneeded. Like dust. And that's when suicidal thoughts come in. It hurts so much on the inside that I want it to just end. Or at least lessen the pain. At those moments of time I wish I were numb again. Sometimes I question myself why aren't I like the others. I mean they seem so carefree while I seemed to be covered in a layer of ash. I usually just cried. Sometimes punching the walls or the table, it lightens the emotional pain in those times. Is it a mental break down or depression if those breakdowns happens 2-4 times a week? Or issit just normal?

In an art course and for the past two days I almost had two breakdowns due to stressing myself over my creations for assignment and felt like my doing is not good enough compared to others. I can feel the normalcy now adays but everything something goes south or stresses me out the fear that I'll slip back haunts me. When I wake up every morning I have to tell myself to not immediately start calculating the time I have for every step of the way until I reach school because I don't want to be like. Like 10min for brushing and toilet and changing then another 10min for finish changing, check everything in bag, mask, wallet etc etc.

I'm 15 and the 2 days ago I got diagnosed with moderate depression and anxiety. My therapist told me I have more anxiety than depression. Every day I feel like crap and I tell myself "I'll just think positively", but I can't because so many thoughts are already swirling through my head and I feel like I'm going crazy.

[@luisamargarida4748]

You need to do something to distract you from that, I think I have more depression than anxiety and I suffer from the same thing, those horrible thoughts that just dont leave. You know what I do? I watch movies, tv shows, I sit next to my window watching movies (being in an uncomfortable position helps me think less because of the light pain that I get in my but sitting on a cold floor 😅) And at least, I start packing things like organizing things in boxes labeling them, writing what they have inside, and I never stop, I must have organized my closet with boxes more than 10 times in a year, try to find things that help you not think, I have a video in Instagram that teaches you 5 things to do on anxiety attacks, if you want I can send you

I just realized I have hfd. I am a freshman and I haven’t felt the same since before 8th grade. Everything these people are saying is really applying to how I feel. It’s so frustrating because many teens make jokes out of this and see some posts about this and automatically diagnose themselves and start talking about how they have it at school. Nobody knows I feel this way and I’ve felt like there’s something so wrong with my life for so long but I couldn’t describe it in one explanation because it’s affected my whole lifestyle. I’m tired of this and I am going to try to fix my life. I don’t want to live like this because it is keeping me from achieving anything. Everyone thinks I am a normal well rounded girl that makes good grades and I do lots of extra curricular. But this is such a problem in my life and I want to do all these hobbies but I can’t because I always feel like I am wasting time and feel nothing when doing them. Every time I tried to explain this my parents I couldn’t because it’s not just sadness or one problem and it’s incredibly frustrating. My parents always insist it is horomones or because I am moody or something and that really hurts me how they haven’t realized what I’ve been going through every day for so long. I can finally describe this now and I am not insane.

Depression is being extremely over-emotional some days and then the other days feeling completely empty and numb. On the over-emotional days I will be constantly crying and so most people find it annoying and most people ignore me. On the numb days it is impossible to pick my feet off the ground and to do anything. Depression to me is constantly wanting to die and no professional wanting to help stop it. I have felt this way since I was 10 however I only went to a doctor last year (when I was 17) and got diagnosed 11 months later. And now it's been another 6 months and I'm still waiting to get help.

So because I don't know you as a person, and I'm not going to lie about how amazing you are (I'm not saying you're not amazing I'm just saying I don't know anything about you) don't give up. Just take each day at a time, keep taking short steps and deep breaths. There are people out there who will be like you, people who will understand what you went/are going through. I know that everything seems like it's going to hell right now, but with no cliche intended, things will get better. And that is me telling the truth.

For me, I walk around everyday feeling like there’s some sort of weight I’m bearing everywhere I go. I feel it in my head and in my chest. When it first hit me, i would cry non-stop. I wasn’t even the happiest of people beforehand, but the shock of feeling something drastically lower for the first time got me incredible reactive. Little did I know, that this drastic low would stay with me for another 2 and a half years. And overtime, this feeling became my average. Looking back, I realise I let myself lose all the close friendships and relationships I’d EVER had. Having no energy, no motivation..... It was like I’d stumbled and rolled down a hill of progression that everyone else seemed to be climbing. I still feel that way. I compare myself to the way I used to be. The potential friendships I could’ve made but didn’t because I was miserable. Where I could be right now if I wasn’t so setback. Every single day is a struggle. Doing everyday tasks, talking to people is a struggle. But what choice do I have? There’s been a time where I was idle. I couldn’t go to school, do homework, shower, talk to anyone outside my family, watch anything, nothing. For about an 8 month period, anything I enjoyed doing lost its spark for m. I curled up in my blankets and just wanted to feel void in the dark, hoping to just go *X* and cease to exist. But of course, it only made everything collapse over me over time and caused more pressure that I could not deal with. That is really the only motivation I have to do the necessities. So to not completely crumble. So as of right now, I’ve lost my social skills, friends, motivation, I get very bad brain fog, I’ve gained weight, I’m possibly the most insecure being on earth, and I feel like shit. I also feel like an outcast around people, I cannot make eye contact, I procrastinate everything I want or “intend” to do, and I hate myself. I am numb. Don’t worry, I wouldn’t want to be friends with me either.

I went to the GP recently about my anxiety/possible mild depression. And he prescribed me antidepressants because I'd been so resistant for so long to go to the doctor because I was scared to. I told my parents and they were immediately against me having meds. Being shocked that i didnt talk to them. Claiming I should just talk and open up about it. I didn't expect them to be happy about it. But their reaction was worse than sad acceptance. It was activelty against it. My mum even said 'you don't look depressed.' Their reaction just added anxiety on top of the anxieousness I already feel at the prospect of taking them. But I already feel so bad in general that I want to take them. If they don't work. I'll change or stop with the help of my doctor. It just makes me sad that my parents were like that even though everyone else I've talked about this with has been supportive of me.

[@PolishChallenger]

"Who can be saved?" Answer: Jesus clearly taught in John 3:16 that He will save anyone who believes in Him: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” This “whoever” includes you and every other person in the world. The Bible says that, if salvation were based on our own efforts, no one could be saved: “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). Psalm 143:2 adds, “No one living is righteous before you.” Romans 3:10 affirms, “There is no one righteous, not even one.” We cannot save ourselves. Instead, we are saved when we believe in Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:8-9teaches, “It is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-not by works, so that no one can boast.” We are saved by God’s grace, and grace, by definition, cannot be earned. We do not deserve salvation; we simply receive it by faith. God’s grace is enough to cover all sin (Romans 5:20). The Bible is filled with examples of people who were saved from sinful backgrounds. The apostle Paul wrote to Christians who had formerly been living in a variety of sinful conditions, including sexual immorality, idolatry, adultery, homosexuality, thievery, greed, and drunkenness. But Paul tells them that, upon salvation, “You were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God” (1 Corinthians 6:9-11). The apostle Paul himself had been a persecutor of Christians, approving of the death of Stephen (Acts 8:1) and arresting Christians and throwing them into prison (Acts 8:3). He would later write, “Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief. The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners-of whom I am the worst” (1 Timothy 1:13-15). God often chooses to save unlikely candidates to serve His purposes. He saved a thief on a cross with only minutes to live (Luke 23:42-43), a persecutor of the church (Paul), a fisherman who had denied Him (Peter), a Roman soldier and his family (Acts 10), a runaway slave (Onesimus in Philemon), and many others. There is no one beyond God’s ability to save (see Isaiah 50:2). We must respond in faith and receive His free gift of eternal life. Who can be saved? One thing is for certain-you can, if you receive Jesus Christ as your Savior! If you are not certain you have accepted Jesus as your Savior, you can respond right now with a prayer similar to this: “God, I realize I am a sinner and could never reach heaven by my own good deeds. Right now I place my faith in Jesus Christ as God’s Son who died for my sins and rose from the dead to give me eternal life. Please forgive me of my sins and help me to live for you. Thank you for accepting me and giving me eternal life.”

2019 was the best year of my life even there's many thing i suffered but out of sudden when i went seeing doctor for my other illness, i was refered to psychiatry and got diagnosed with depression. Idek that i suffered since a long time

[@sarahs9404]

Yeah she is totally right about depression stigma in the muslim community because some shitty parents don't believe in mental illness that you can't really see and think it's because you're not "close to god" as if you could just pray depression away. But my parents are super chill so it's not really an issue and they take me to a therapist but i feel bad for my friend her parents are super traditional in some aspects and tell her to pray more and strengthen her faith and relationship with god to "fix" her depression,like new flash depression is a chemical imbalance in your brain.

I do not want to self diagnose anything but this has been going on for at least 2 months now...I’m scared.

[@chans8thkid498]

Please seek a doctor, if it is possibly depression you want to help it early.

[@yourgrandma3379]

I’m afraid that my parents wouldn’t be so understanding. I live in a household where having a mental illness means ‘mad’ and ‘crazy’.

[@yourgrandma3379]

A house where if you’re feeling anxious, it’s weak and an excuse. Where if you get tired, you’re lazy. So, maybe I’ll just handle this one on my own.

@@yourgrandma3379 I'm so sorry, maybe try to find videos online to help cope with it.
