Yes actually. I’ve wondered if it was bc I stopped reading so much, probably another way to blame myself for my current state. I feel like I can’t think of words I used to know & also mix words & syllables together a lot, sounding like I have a stutter when I don’t.

[@lattecreamsoda]

I haven't seen an actual doctor for it because I don't have the guts to tell my mom. I know she will judge, I know she'll just dismiss it as "hormones" I constantly feel hopeless, I constantly feel worthless, I feel like crying for no reason sometimes as well, despite being surrounded by friends and family I still feel lonely, despite all the compliments I receive I can't bring myself to accept them... I have all these negative thoughts constantly running through my head. Am I faking? Is it all an illusion? I don't know, so many people say you can't self-diagnose it... But I can't tell my mom I KNOW she won't understand. I know she'll call it a phase, she won't accept the fact that her "bubbly, happy, random dancing" daughter has depression. God, I need help... I'm so desperate... I have no one to reach out to... I don't have anyone...

Some memories of depression that stick out: One time my mum was putting me to sleep when I said, 'Mum..' and she asked, what is it? But then I chickened out and didn't say anything A year later, I grew so sick and tired of living this way that I told my mum that I had depression and she laughed and called me ridiculous. When I begged her to please understand and please help me, she yelled at me and told me that I was being ridiculous. I cried for so long that night. My first ever breakdown was a week ago. I woke up and felt tired and annoyed. I went to the kitchen and took some bowls out, and while I was grabbing the milk out of the fridge. i dropped a bowl and it shattered everywhere. i was soo tired that I just called for my mum and with cuts on my feet I went to the table. I poured the milk before splashing it all over the table. I was really pissed but as I said, I was so so tired. I sloppily mopped it up before I knocked over the cereal box and cereal spilt everywhere. I hunched over and started breaking down. I was sobbing and crying and I just kept on wishing that it would go away, that my depression would go away, and that I just could be happy one more time

[@ashleshalaxmi5705]

@ A Random Blue Corgi Hi, 1st of all, I really hope ur getting the help u need?! I notice that ur comment about having ur 1st breakdown was a month ago. I have battled depression all my life n had 3 breakdowns. I hope u are seeing a psychiatrist and therapist and getting medication. If u don't know where to start, get referred to a consultant psychiatrist by ur GP and don't accept no for an answer. Worst comes to worst go to the ER/A&E. 2nd u mentioned that one of ur memories was whilst ur mum was putting u to sleep. Can I ask how old u were when this happened? I have a theory that I have had depression from a very young age but haven't explored this properly with my old therapist n now I'm on the waiting list again. It's been 3yrs waiting for therapy on the NHS that I'm exploring other avenues. Thanx. And again, hope ur getting help. I have been in my 2nd recovery for 2 months and touch wood, all is going very well! I've literally been on over 30 different medications over the years and finally found one that is near perfect! It can be done!! Never give up! Xx

As a sufferer of MMD, I always feel like this... Every night, I will end up sleeping for 2am. Then waking up every morning not to do anything. You always want to do something, but I don't have motivation. People will always thought of me as a useless individual. I tried to do my hobbies but none of them works as I lose my interest little by little. I don't eat normally too.

I suffered from depression in my senior year of high school. I lost around 15kgs in a year and had 8 out of the 9 symptoms. It was terrible. But then I started doing yoga along with meditation which significantly improved my mood and also increased my appetite and I recovered. If any of you is suffering from depression I highly recommend yoga or any other physical activities. It really worked for me and I'm very thankful.

[@kurooitami]

Depression is like screaming out your needs for help and no one can hear it, not even yourself. So it's often empty as hell. We often can't even realise why.

[@missdaytona33]

I moved to this new city.. a big city with lots of noise and polluted air.. the skies are always grey and depressing.. it’s not an environment I want to live in.. but since I’m only 13 and my mom can’t do anything about it.. I’m stuck. I’m getting horrible grades at school and I’m worried that I’ll restart my year.. and this made me really depressed.. I felt hopeless.. ashamed..worthless and overall, sad. I felt like crying sometimes when I would sit in my bus because I didn’t want to go to school.. things just got worse and worse and I just got sadder and sadder everyday.. I told my mom I wansn’t okay.. she wanted to help me but eventually didn’t because she thought I was just having puberty or something.. I believed her but I eventually didn’t anymore.. I didn’t feel like that was normal to feel like that when everyone was so happy and actually enjoying life.. I had no friends, no good grades, no help, I eventually wanted to die.. I felt like I didn’t deserve to live like this, to suffer like this.. until eventually.. I don’t feel anything anymore.. I didnt see a purpose in anything so never even tried anything, I didn’t care about anything anymore.. I felt.. empty, I had literally no emotions,no thoughts, I was just a mindless zombie going through all of this without realizing.. my mom noticed this change in my behaviour and asked if I was okay.. I just said I was fine.. now school is almost over.. I’m still really empty.. and I just hope things will get better.

Had depression since I was 8 and the symptoms might have actually started showing up before then. I am starting to recover and will get some consoling soon, and next year, I will finally separate from the person responsible for why I haven't been able to cure it. I am 17 and will be 18 by then, meaning that I have had depression for almost 10 years now. Hopefully, I will be able to start living once college starts, since those holding me back won't be there anymore.

[@lydia9978]

Im mentioning this because of the beginning scenario: As diagnosed with major depressive disorder, I can’t help but really enjoy and am fascinated with depressive movies, books, music, etc. Idk why. I like to think a lot. So I like to think deeply of these kinds of books and movies, look for hidden messages. Sometimes I can be triggered, but rarely am I. Some people don’t like sad books or movies. I tend to notice these are the very optimistic people, more happier, usually extroverts. They thrive on good feelings and happy thoughts/ideas. These kind of movies or books or music can drain them, and put them out of their comfort zone. I feel sad a lot, but I use these movies and books not to make myself feel even more sad, but to let myself think, contemplate. Honestly, books or movies with sadder endings are better quality in my opinion. Probably because I like a movie to have a more realistic ending, and in my life sadness has always been the more realistic end. I expect the worse. That’s who I am. I’m not saying that everyone is like this, happy people don’t like sad, and sad people like sadness. No, I’m not saying this. This is just from my personal experience in life and the people I know and who I am. Sorry for the rant, I just think a lot ;)

[@ameliabatrisya8712]

I like reading this because i feel the same too i tend to think a lot and so deeply sometimes it’s tiring but i got to satisfy myself, hey you don’t need to apologise, it’s not your fault, i think it’s a good thing that you embrace your emotions, because sometimes the best thing to do is finding things that can relate with us, apparently there is so little people that would understand the rough situation we’re going through, i have mdd too, it’s hard sometimes but you know take things slow and accepting yourself is the best kind of love i did to myself, so don’t stop thinking love ❤️

Obviously there are situational factors that contribute to depression but the biggest reason for depression and anxiety that hovers over you like a shadow that wont go away, is nutrition and lack of Vitamin D (sun). What and WHEN (Fasting) you eat. Trust me, I suffered for years with severe depression. Only with research and eating whole, good foods (doesn't matter what it is per say, just it's nutritional value and how much). Chicken, jasmine or brown rice and broccoli with a VITAMIN D supplement for a month straight will remove your depression I promise you. I share this with people suffering. IT WORKS.

Hello, thank you for telling us this. I'm honestly, I have never had depression or anxiety. So I never experienced this. -From what you've telled in the video, It sounds really bad and I feel bad for the other people that did have that or have. Atypical depression, I think I've had In my life. I was sad all the time and sometimes I have got a huge appetite or just changed my mood to make the others comfortable.I have never taught of suicide. Everyone one time has a type of depression. You cannot be happy all the time. -We, the humans cannot end our lives. Cause we're not the person that gave birth to us and bring It pain nine months.(depends) I once asked my mom what Is depression and why people kill themselves. She just told me'Because they're weak and cannot pass an chapter from our lives'. I do not think that persons with depression are weak.I just think they're sad.

2021 was the hardest, darkest time of my life. I was physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually BROKEN. But now I feel genuinely GRATEFUL and BLESSED that I had to go through that phase because GOD has graciously REVEALED Himself to me in miraculous ways. I am fortunate that He allowed me to know Him at a very young age, but this year is so much SPECIAL because of what WE (yes, GOD and me) have been through last year. He showed me how POWERFUL prayers truly are when I started to focus on WHO HE IS rather than who I am, on WHAT HE CAN DO rather than what I deserve. The experience was MAGICAL. He showed up BIG TIME and assured me that HE is indeed a LISTENING and RESPONDING GOD. Oh how my faith has skyrocketed as a result! Now more than ever, I have very bright HOPE for my future because I experienced first hand how RELIABLE God is. And for that I will forever be grateful. GLORY BE TO GOD, MY EVER FAITHFUL FATHER. ♥️♥️♥️ To everyone who's struggling right now, please know that GOD LOVES YOU. He wants to help you and give you peace. Please surrender your burdens to Him and allow Him to move in your life. "Because he loves Me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges My Name. He will call on Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him." (Psalm 9<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="74">1:14</a>-15) Please hold on to this bible verse because WHATEVER GOD SAYS, HE FULFILLS. ✝️

the fact that when i was kid i was bullied and never really had friends but i somehow always learned to keep it inside bottled up like a ticking time bomb, amazes me bcz now i just break out crying when my mind submerges into millions of thoughts of how utterly useless and irrelevant i am in this world and how happiness is only a dream i haven’t felt genuinely happy in a long time only when i drink or im high, i hate that this is the only way to make me feel happy. My confidence was skewed when i was kid now i’m just a shell of what i can be. I starved myself not because i wanted to but i never got the feeling of hunger, i lost 15 lbs in 2 weeks, my ears would pop, eye twitch, couldn’t sleep, anxiety attacks destroyed my heart and mind it made me feel like the smallest being in the world, now i feel lost

A lot of my depression is environmental, growing up around domestic violence, loser dad, mentally ill mom (who was molested as a child). I feel like with the genetic aspect, Darwin’s theory comes into play, if generations have dealt with trauma the brain/body adapts to it and mutates the genes.

Going through this since I was 8. Honestly had a terrible time after that and hidden mental trauma and sexual trauma, prior to that before the age of 8. Doesn't help that all the women in my family especially my mom and her twin. WmWE ALSO HAVE A BAD HABIT FOR SWEETS. they help my brain release a high amount of tension. Just please don't let your doctors give you something if its a gamble. Unfortunatley a lot are funcioning. My firsr doctor asked me if I have suicidal thought, truth I don't but I told her if a bus comes by I'd take my time crossing. Fluoride really hurt my brain. Find a hobby. Not everybody beats depression. Regardless THERE ARE THOSE WHO WANT TO HELP YOU. I have faith in my self and in you 💛💙💜💚❤

[@bloodgoat01]

I want to say something... (This is really long) I think I have depression or I'm faking it or tricking myself that I have it. I don't want to say that I definitely have it because someone in the world could really have it. I first started to get depressing around 13 I think I'm not completely sure. I'm 18 now about to turn 19 in January 2020 and I'm unemployed at the moment. I don't know what I want to do in life when I was in my senior year in high school a bunch of teachers and family members and friends are asking me what I want to do after high school. I always told them "I don't know" I was always unsure of what to say I've always thought about it hard and never came up with an answer. I always tell myself that I'm worthless, I'm nothing, I don't want to live this life anymore, I'm ugly, I'm fat, and no one likes me.. but I know that's not true I have a couple of friends that I like and I know they like me back so why do I always say to myself "Their laughing at you, they don't want to be with you, YOU'RE BEING SUCH AN ASSHOLE TO THEM!" I always think that they're not really my friends but I know they are and yet in my head I think I'm a terrible person to them. Whatever I do I just think that I'm doing this wrong or I shouldn't be here. I don't have any confidence in myself I try meeting girls online and date online because I can type differently online then in real life. I'm pathetic I know. I don't try to meet girls at my school I would be too frightened to do anything like that but online I'm a little bit more comfortable. I know I need to leave my comfort zone I've been told that a million times but yet I just can't do it... there was this one relationship that was very special to me her name was Alecs (like Alex) and she was such a beautiful, kind, funny, and smart person. I can say without a doubt that I loved her and I would genuinely be happy with her even if it was online. We would facetime a lot with each other and just be dumb and fun heh. I was honestly happy that I met her but it ended for about a year.. One day she was just "tired of me" like we run our course and that REALLY broke me. I was shocked, she said to me that she was tired of just texting someone online and not actually being there in person. We were originally planning to meet each other one day (I'm in California and she was in Arizona) we even talked about marriage one day when we get older and it's just... gone now. That devastated me, I would not pay attention in class, I've stopped seeing all my friends, I would stay in my room all day for awhile. I really loved her and she was so kind so her saying all this shocked me I guess she couldn't wait that long... I still think about her to this day and I wish I could at least be friends with her but she just stopped talking to me completely. I still miss her and I wish things ended differently. I haven't been in a relationship since then and that was in my Junior year into high school. Since then I've been either so depressed or just okay. All of this sounds like depression to me but I don't want to say that I do have because I'm not so sure anymore I just want everything to stop I don't care about myself anymore... I'm too scared to hurt myself and I don't tell anyone that I'm feeling down or sad because I just try to make their days better and avoid telling about my day. Whenever I see someone having a rough time I go help them instead of helping myself and that's a huge problem for me. I honestly didn't plan to write any of this stupid nonsense but if anyone read through all of my stupid problems thank you for reading and I hope you have a great day and always help someone in need or feeling down. Goodbye.

Problems and difficulties are there to help us grow up, that is, to see a different world tomorrow compared to the one we see today. Even if there isn't a shred of hope, even though everything is falling apart and we won't have another chance to go back to the time when everything was fine, let's be a light in the darkness and try to shine as much time as possible, no one can take away our happiness.

Depression can be explained like this. You cut your finger a lot while cooking, so much in fact that you don’t really seem to notice when you do it, like a habit at this point.

MDD comes and goes, but never leaves. It's your permanent roommate, you can close off from it oftentimes but it'll open the door eventually whether you want it to or not. One day you'll be saying "I'm okay" while driving home; next thing you know you're in your room closed off for days on end, even weeks, not feeling nothing but wanting to constantly sleep your days away as it's the closest you get to death without actually doing it. You think about the one's you'd leave behind (if you have any) who'd possibly be affected, or you just hope every night that you never wake up to see morning; disappointing when you wake up the next day only to sit in your bed for literally hours doing nothing. You can't talk to anyone about it, they don't, or eventually don't, care. So you keep it to yourself, sometimes very visible, sometimes under the mask, or how you normally are without the bully of MDD ruining it, of a bright smile and a personality everyone loves; see Robin Williams, RIP good sir, he kept the room closed off from it as long as he could until it burst through. You can run, but you can't hide from it.
