MY EXPERIENCE WITH DEPRESSION

[@robbytalbot]

Anxiety and depression really is a taboo subject. It is extremely awkward and hard to talk about, but honestly, it shouldn't be. You are human, I'm human, we all are human and we all have emotions weather it be physical or mental. Those feelings, those emotions are valid. If you have anxiety or depression, please know and understand it's okay to talk about it, and in some cases it even helps. I'm trying to end this stigma of mental health in our society today. We all just need to help each other out, listen, understand and be there for each other. Thank you for posting this video, people need to hear it.

[@Valeria-rb4vf]

My new year's resolution is to get control over my depression and anxiety.I don't talk about my depression or anxiety a lot because I feel like no one understands me and no one can help me.After watching this video and reading comments I don't feel like I'm the only person who has depression and anxiety. Thanks Mason for helping realize that I'm not alone and I could possibly get through this

[@wadetokumine5733]

A positive, deliberate video, sir, and very true on all points. I would add that depression should never be self-diagnosed or self-treated; it should be identified by a qualified professional who can help construct a treatment plan. And also that a person who thinks s/he is suffering from depression should be cautious with mood-altering substances like tobacco or alcohol, since they could temporarily negate (but not cure) or amplify the symptoms to dangerous levels, affecting judgment to the point of suicidal behavior.

[@Markinsky]

I agree 100%.

[@darrensmith4862]

So yeah there are so many forms of depression and we are many. We have different ways of coping and sometimes we may feel like we can't. I have difficulty interacting with others and when you're feeling bad about yourself that makes it especially difficult....I've only known of you in this last year Mason and think you're a wonderful guy who can make a difference in this world! I don't think it's in your nature to be average so hang in there buddy....much love to you x

[@JasonOnEarth]

Great guy. I like how he wants to help people and is willing to talk about his depression so there's don't feel as alone. Keep up the great vids. Nice to hear personal stories.

[@masehealy]

Thank you!

[@arthurthomas2062]

I'm relatively new to your channel, but I have to admit that I really identified with this. I've suffered from depression since middle school and I know how it feels to feel completely alone even when you're around those who love you. One thing that really helps me is my roommate. Having a good roommate basically forces me to interact with someone on a daily basis stops me from isolating myself. If you're introverted like myself it could also be a good thing to confide in a confidant. Someone that you can turn to no matter what. I'm glad that you shared and I wish you the best.

[@emilycollette3164]

Omg Mase you are making me cry, I am seriously tearing up. I am the same way when it comes to committing suicide by destroying or giving up my hopes, dream, and future. I have seriously stopped myself from doing anything positive for my future career the past few years. I have finally snapped out of it but sometime I near the edge of postponing my future. Thank you so much for giving me a different way at looking at my depression. I can now take it to my therapist and answer her questions on why I have put off my career for so long. love you Mase. Thank you ❤

[@jazminew.2541]

Mase just know that if you feel bad for any reason then we are here for you. We love you and we care about you very much. You are a strong caring person Mason we all will support your good decisions. Love you Mase... bye😞

[@orinraventon7564]

mason I'm glad that you got help for your depression. it's good to talk to someone about how you feel. I'm glad that you are doing well and taking it one day at a time😊

[@addycalip8830]

I love you soo much❤️ I have depression and I have never talked about it with anyone... We are all here for you too😊

[@DanaJunkin]

I love you so much Mason. Thank you for opening up and being real. ❤️

[@janadrijkoningen6473]

i know i saw this video a bit late but i used to deal with depression but im getting better and better every day and this probably doesnt mean much but just know if you need someone to listen to you im always here for you ❤

[@whydoineedtohaveahandle]

I can relate to everything he's experiencing. I've always known that I have depression, but my parents think there's no such thing as depression and that the depressed are just seeking for attention. That's why I haven't told them. But Mason, I hope that you will recover and be happy and reach your goals in life. I think that you're a great person!

[@BillyJohnson2006]

For me, especially in the beginning, I would find myself not even realizing it. I'm generally very outgoing and caring about so many people. But then as you said, my feelings of depression and anxiety would weigh me down and I wouldn't go out and I would push those closest away from me. I'm rambling because I don't know how to say every little thing that is going through my mind about this. All I know Is, I get it. You can get through this.

[@haliedevries6864]

I love you mason, you are such an inspiration. it was amazing meeting you. I will never forget seeing you and then you asking me if you knew me, that is the craziest thing to hear from one of the people who has changed your life so so much. you are one of the best people I have ever met. thank you for everything. I love you Mason.

[@ABrokenWingsAngel]

Awww. I am glad you made this vid, a lot of people are going through the same thing and is important that they know that they are not alone. We are always here for you, never forget that. Thanks for being so real with us. 💕 (p.s. If you talk to Matthew let him know that we lush him and hope he feels better soon, the last time we heard from him was like two days ago and he was feeling really bad).💙

[@NorieliGarcia]

I feel empty, sad,and wabt to cry sometimes but my family doesn't really know I keep locked inside. they think im a happy person I just put a fake smile for everyone I don't think im depressed and I dont think im killing myself or harming myself.

[@56deegeebee]

+Mason Healy I have been diagnosed with depression an anxiety.. However, the public healthy system in my area (that means I don't pay as I am a low income earner.. private Psychologists are expensive) is completely booked out.. So I can't see a Psychologist face to face but they run an outreach program where I have modules to complete each week and a Psychologist with phone means go through the modules with me. But because I have had so many things happen in my life the Psychologist is now saying that when I finish the modules she is going to recommend face to face.. You are right.. If anyone has been diagnosed with depression or anxiety or both please, please see a Psychologist.this isn't my first time with depression but this time is worse then previously and being able to talk with someone who understands you and doesn't just say 'get over it' means so much.. So please get the help you need.. Thank you, Mason.. This is a hard thing for people to talk about and this video will help those who are struggling..

[@James-sh7cn]

Hi Mason, Just seeing this video and your coming out video on 2-17-20. I relate to the depression story you have told. I am on medication and though I doubt it sometime, my doctor says it is doing its job. So I would say to all to stay on your meds and talk to your doc and therapist if you have doubts. You are so positive and uplifting in your message. Hoie things are going well for you.

[@serenity7237]

thank u for being real and opening up this must have been hard to talk about

[@advicebyGeorge]

Mason, these are the types of videos I prefer, first off, just because you're reaching out to the Prozac Nation (watch that movie if you haven't Prozac nation, it will put a lot of light on what you're going through) I prefer to hear things real and relatable over a KZbin video that's game or challenge etc lol. Secondly I'm 35 yrs old n I was diagnosed with manic depression, anxiety disorder something called 'unipolar ' look it up its opposite of bipolar and I spent a good decade n still going through medications. One they can numb you, they can change your personality, they can mess with your emotions, sexual functioning. God i could go on. I still suffer today. But lastly what I really wanted to mention to you, one psychic to another (I'm also a medium) is have you really researched that? How draining it is, how you unconsciously you pick up and take on other peoples negative energy, their depression etc. This is something I really have a lot of knowledge about and it's to long and complicated to type it out here and not even sure you'll read this. But honestly, it's a huge reason behind some of what you're going through. I knew this before I knew you evem mentioned u read tarot cards etc. i took on your energy so powerfully, I can't even begin to tell you. With that said I hope you will reply to this or email me [e-mail] my personal email n let me know if you want to chat or talk or email. I can really guide you and put some insight into this for you. I am not typing this because I'm some extreme girly fan trying to get you to talk to me or be my friend or anything, I genuinely want to help you and connect with you. And anyone that reads this is welcome to contact me regarding depression, LGBTQ, mediumship, readings , whatever, I'm very mellow n I have a lot of years n experience personally and with others as well yrs of psychology in college, I can help. MASON seriously contact me. I need to let what's in my intuitive mind release and I can't if I never talk to you and I am not going to type online what I know Cuz it's your personal journey. anyway, glad st John's worth is helping you. I've downed bottles of that to stay away from real medications n I researched n learned it's mind of matter for that to work, but if it works for you right now that's great but unfortunately, it won't last man, for you that is and most people. it's natural n not on a level of depression people really suffering from are. Keep on it but be cautious it won't last for you personally. if I hear from you I'll explain. Nothing bad either just so you know I don't havev"scary" worrisome stuff to tell you. OK I'm done , thanks for the video, I loved it, been waiting for it from you, been worried for months feeling your energy and your opened up so now I am , please give me a chance [e-mail] and for anyone. I'd give out my # but no lol only after I've talked to you n linked. Remember white lights, white candles, love light n peace, feel it, visualize it , use it. it blocks bad energy n negativity. Hope to talk soon!! 😊

[@JessT]

Proud of you for doing this. It takes a lot of strength. I've had depression for the past 2 years and I was on medication for it for awhile and it just made me not feel anything. I didn't like it so I stopped taking it and at first it was really hard but it got easier as time went on and I figured out ways to cope. I still relapse from time to time but for the most part you just gotta focus on being strong and making yourself happy.

[@AshtenIs2Groovy4U]

🙌🏻 10/10 for the video. Thanks for opening up & being real. I think this video is going to help a lot of people. You've for sure helped me in a lot of ways & I can't thank you enough for it. I'm sorry you've been feeling like that but I know you'll get through it & in the end you'll come out of it stronger. And if you ever need me for anything at anytime, I'm always here for ya ❤️ love you to the moon & back!

[@piasispela472]

Thanks for being that open and real with us 👍🏻 Hope everything gets better, my best friend also goes through depression and I always 'force' her to go out with me, because I know how she feels and friends always help in such stages 😌😬

[@mareneaufrance5096]

Thank you for this video. At beginning of my depression I was prescribed anti-depressants. I was already gaining weight. The meds made me gain more which made me more depressed. I take Vit. D, so I don't cry so easy. Good luc--keep your family and friends close to you.

[@masehealy]

This is a good video. Don't rule out medication completely. They really work. There are so many of them with various qualities. If St. John's wart doesn't do it for you.

[@Markinsky]

One thing to add. If you are suffering from depression, please consult a psychiatrist. Depression is very dangerous and also very curable. Don't self-diagnose or self treat. Whether you chose to follow a psychiatrists suggestions or not is up to you. If you are going to take an alternative treatment-at least do it under the care of a psychiatrist. These doctors know the most about the bio-chemistry of the brain and clinical depression is a brain disease. OK-thanks.

I'm pretty sure I have depression and anxiety, I have a lot of the symptoms, and I'd love to go be diagnosed and get help, but I can't. I live with my grandparents and they don't believe in depression. they think it's stupid and doesn't really exist. of they foumd out the would ship me off to mental institution, which would make things worse fore because my only support system is my friends. it's to the points where I've cut, and consider suicide. if anyone has any tips to help, without my grandparents finding out, it would be appreciated. I really want to pull myself out of this hole, but I just can't seem to do it. thanks.

[@maddiestarwar3322]

youre still a cool dude and if you need to talk to me im always available u know it

[@iluvfamoussingers]

I was sad and depressed when I was bullied because no one seem to care to help even when I asked they wouldn't do anything serious. I was depressed In high school I said stupid stuff like oh I don't want to be in this world or like I want to die and all that! That's what I said which got the students worried. I wasn't a talkative person in high school in the hallways.... I would not talk to them because I was afraid they would say this girl is short and she has scoliosis and a rod in her back. She doesn't have any friends let's not hangout with her I mean after all she is rich... I stopped eating dinner and breakfast a lot recently. I don't do Younow or KZbin much because I'm busy and I can't broadcast because apparently I lag on my broadcast. One time in class before I graduated this year this kid was mean to me and he gave me the middle finger and the teacher told him to apologise and I said I don't care, she told me that I should then I said I really don't care... Then I gave him

[@iluvfamoussingers]

The fake forgiveness saying k I forgive u. I really didn't care what he did to me in the beginning week of class really even tho I got into trouble and he said I'm sorry to me and would say Grace Grace over and over. I would ignore him cuz I was pissed at him! Now that I'm out of high school for good I'm not depressed. My friend Sara knew what I was going through including my mom because they know I was depressed and they knew I didn't want to be in this world. Mason can we please talk on Twitter on dms and Skype. I love you. I've been through depression for about maybe 4 years or when I was in um in 7th grade from 2010 maybe idk. But all I know is that I hated my life so much mason that I wanted to die so bad because I was tired and sick of being bullied. You don't know what it's like to be different to have two surgeries on your back and one neck surgery and speak English when you are two years old. I know what it's like cuz I'm that girl I had two back surgeries and one neck

[@iluvfamoussingers]

Surgery! I'm the girl who has scoliosis and neurofibromatosis type one in her damn Fucken body! I have soft tissue on her hip that whenever she puts on a swim suit and clothes on it looks crooked like OMG what happened to her stomach? Why does she have a scar? What is that on you? What is that black thing on your arm and stomach they would ask.

[@iluvfamoussingers]

Mason please dm me on Twitter and follow me too I'm literally was crying as I type my comments that are super long and it took me 3 comments to do this

[@rowanlochlan9549]

St John's wort huh?

[@rowanlochlan9549]

is this something you get from a doctor or can you get it at vitamin stores?

[@Markinsky]

Health food store. Read up on it. It's not a guaranteed treatment for depression.

[@mymx5az]

Although St. John’s wort has been used for centuries for mental health conditions and is widely prescribed for depression in Europe, the herb can have serious side effects. In addition, current evidence that St. John’s wort is effective for depression is not conclusive. It is also important to note that in the United States, the Food and Drug Administration has not approved its use as an over-the-counter or prescription medicine for depression. If you take it along with certain prescribed medication you could die.
