Bad moods

Im not sure, i guess its either something youre born with or something you experienced as traumatic. But i can be wrong and its just my guess and my experience

[@bilashamallick219]

Hey uu okay?

[@hydrashade1851]

for me, depression feels like you are the only sad person in the world. it feels like no one understands you. it feels like the glass isn’t half full, or half empty, its cracked. it feels like nothing matters except those who would be saddened with you gone. it feels like everyone else’s wellbeing matters more than yours. it feels like fictional characters are your only friends, your only support. it makes clouds beautiful because they seem larger than your problems. it feels like only drawings and music understand you. it feels like no matter how much you try to help, you only hurt. it makes the light hurt your eyes. it makes you scared to love again because of a mistake that happened a whole person ago. it feels like nothing at all and everything bad at the same time.

[@cloudvii7777]

[@kicou88]

Slowly but surely the sun will come back in your life even with depression. I speak from experience. You will feel happy again one day and enjoy life. You may have new episodes of depression but you will learn how to cope with it. Knowledge is what helped me cope with it and slowly move on with my life. I chose knowledge over people, learning about everything, about psychology, science, philosophy, art, history, you name it... helps you understand the world around you. Your perception of the world will change, you will understand that everybody can struggle with depression at least once in their life, if it's not depression, some struggle with their ego and fake it all the time, some with stress and anxiety, we all have our inner demons and we all struggle secretly with something, some wounds may never heal but time teaches you to accept things as they are if you can't do anything to change them. Believe me whether it is about losing a friend or your loved one, you will move on. I wish you the best. Don't lose hope. You will see the sun again my friend.

[@mattocardo1002]

One more thing: you tend to procrastinate a lot. Due to constantly being tired and unmotivated, you will find it a little relaxed by procrastinating.

I'm currently procrastinating. It's 1:54am and I feel like if I go to sleep, I won't get my homework finished, but I feel like doing homework is pointless since I don't want to learn anything we're being told to learn. I'll probably procrastinate until I get too tired to even do my homework.

[@summerycast7936]

And then when the time comes, you feel guilty not finishing your task or whatever needs to be done earlier. Especially daily things such as dishes. Choosing to procrastinate just leads to more work to be done, which is a monumental task for those in a depressive state.

[@therealopaartist]

I describe it as…emptiness. A cold darkness over your mind. Not the calm quiet darkness. One that is screaming with life about how you’re an awful person. It feels like a weight on your ankles in the middle of the ocean, not a extremely heavy one but one that keeps you bobbing at the surface. You’ll be breathing fine one moment only to get hit with a wave another. It feels like you’re alone even when you’re surrounded by people. That’s how I described it to my therapist anyways.

[@solonada9602]

Here is how I would describe it: Depression feels as if I am gradually drowning under murky waters, so deep that no beam of light can stretch itself that deep, down under the thick murky waters. Depression feels like I am tree laden with rotten fruit, even when there is not a single fruit of putrescence hanging upon its branches. Depression feels as if I am leaning towards a crystal pond amid a desert, but I do not take a sip from it at all, even when thirst is parching my mouth, a mouth that is a scorching desert. Depression feels like I am a withered flower, a flower which no water-drop nor the jollity of the rain can ever bring back to a blooming life. Depression feels as if I am cowering alone in cold, damp darkness, while everyone else is dancing and scampering around in Sun's light, warmth, and in spirit of life.

I can never have a positive or negative thought without immediately finding reasons to argue against it.

Even now as I’m typing I’m trying to stop myself from explaining why I’m just being stupid and should delete this.

So relatable. I've been a straight A student for multiple years in a row, but this year those grades are continuously dropping. I can't even get myself out of bed and get ready for school in the morning to the point where I'm late to class more often. I have multiple alarms set because I never wake up on just one or two, and then I'd just lay in bed for 30 minutes without a care in the world regarding what that'd do to my attendance and grades. I used to like school because it felt like an escape, but now it's just draining.

I have OCD with depression, so I make my room clean once in 2-3 days, but wnat about me, daily hygiene feels like a lot. I prcrastinate a lot. There is something with computer programming that I am still able to do my job, but I am not becoming the expert I always wanted to be. Consistency is a big issue for me.. Thats my story

[@ZoomAqua]

This is my story: Growing up, I was actually raised in a very loving and supportive home. I always got good grades in school. I excelled in the things I did (such as tae kwon do and bowling). At some point, I began building up these expectations of being the best daughter, the best student, the best everything. I felt as if maybe that's what others expected of me, too. Sometime during elementary school, I started to develop more of an understanding of what was happening around me. I've always been a shy person, and I felt like I never truly "clicked" with any of the kids at school. The only times I felt that (pre-college) were in elementary school for a few years with a small group of guys (I was the only girl, but my tomboyish personality allowed me to fit in) and in high school with a small group of girls (not the stereotypical "popular girls", so felt I somewhat fit in there for a year or two). Going back though to what I was getting at, I wasn't a social butterfly like a lot of the other kids. I eventually started feeling like I didn't truly fit in. That everybody saw me as the weird girl who liked video games and anime. That nobody actually liked me for me. Halfway into middle school, I got into my first relationship. The relationship wasn't bad or anything, I just lost feelings over the last month of it and had to end it. Shortly afterwards, I started playing an online game and made many online friends. Started online dating and ended up in lots of bad relationships since I was still a young middle/high schooler who didn't know better. This is when the depression started hitting hard alongside anxiety. I remember making so many mistakes in those relationships and always blaming myself for them ending the way they did (instead of the reality which was that I got manipulated into doing wrong things that I was told were right by older guys). This led to getting very dark thoughts from time to time. Although I hadn't made any attempts until high school (which even then wasn't anything that put me in a hospital), it was still something that carried on into my current life. Even though I'm going to counseling, I still feel the anxiety and depression a lot of the time, and sometimes it hits very hard. It's that feeling of "I don't want to do anything", "I can't do anything". It's the feeling of not wanting to get out of bed. To go back to sleep, even when you know you have to get up. That lack of motivation, that empty-but-not-empty feeling. You feel sadness, but you also feel nothing. You want to be happy, but you also feel like you don't deserve happiness. You look down on yourself from the moment you wake up to the moment you sleep. You convince yourself that you aren't good enough, that nobody wants you. You don't want to eat, even if there is food in front of you. You want to go to bed early, but the negative thoughts fill your head until you cry instead. Throughout the later parts of my life, I've encountered friends. True friends, I mean. Friends who are there for me during these rough times. Yet sometimes, I can't bring myself to speak up. I value them so much that I don't want to bring them down with me. I'm slowly getting better though. The family and friends we have are very precious to us, and I know that we would want them to talk to us, too, if they ever felt depressed or anxious because we wouldn't want them to suffer alone. So yeah. I know it isn't a deep and traumatizing story, but hopefully it still reaches out to someone out there.

I was horrifically depressed since childhood. It was relentless. I assumed it would ultimately end me somehow. About twelve years ago I randomly accepted the offer from a friend of a few doses of mushrooms. I did them two consecutive nights alone. First night was pretty mild. The second night? Wow. I saw my depression from every angle, realized much. Next day: depression totally gone. Never came back, never coming back. It's like it's a forest far away I can remember, and could probably find again with enough effort, but it has zero impact on anything in my life or mind. They honestly saved my life and improved it immensely. I never did them again, either. I wish there was a good, organized way to administer them to people who would benefit from them.

Depression has always felt like drowning to me. Surrounded by nothing but vast ocean waves and every day you force your head back above water before your lungs fill with water. Some days, the waves pull you down and even bobbing your head back out of the water for even a breath is nearly impossible. The years go by and I continually feel weaker and want to fight for a breath less and less. Sometimes, the thought to just let myself slip below the waves one last time and sink into the dark waters below is so very tempting. I'm so very tired.

I do know I was supposed to get on med ms and keep on going to therapy, but I didn't because my family couldn't afford it anymore, and so I was left with untreated depression for several years. As I grew up, I learnt about what it was, and at some point I remembered a lot of those things. During the pandemic it only got worse, so much so that my parents decided to get me back into therapy and was diagnosed for the second time with depression. I was also on antidepressants for a while, but once again, there were issues, so I stopped taking them and now I'm not going to therapy anymore. Everything is just too much and I don't know what to do. I just want to get away from here, because I feel like if there is no major change in my life, I'm seriously gonna give up.

[@the_UF365]

I think that depression is caused most often by life showing you way too often that people don't care about your issues, so then the brain shuts down, saying " I'm done caring about this if the world does not care about me. From family neglect, to abuse, to having issues making true friendships, to struggling with who you are and what you actually want, this disorder strikes when the world has convibced you to give up most hope in trying to be happy in life.

[@markjrcolin1210]

I’ve been dealing with depression and anxiety since I was a kid. I’d describe it almost as being underwater, but for me, being underwater is peaceful. Depression for me is day to day fatigue, extreme mood swings, high irritability. It truly does feel like an invisible weight on the mind. Life for me is always viewed involuntarily through a nihilistic lense, which is truly a challenge to not do. Depression can spike, at least for me, when, say, a loved one or family member doesn’t seem to love me back. For example, when my dad told me “If you don’t surpass your mother and I, then we have failed as parents” when I was going through highschool, it put an extreme pressure on me to surpass both my parents combined just to please my dad. It felt like I was essentially powerless in operating under his will instead of my own. But I allowed it for a long time because I felt like I had no choice in the matter. Depression makes you blind to the options in life, you see things through a narrow lense, or tunnel vision. A great example of this is when my dad told me to enroll my dog in training that I couldn’t afford (and it was the wrong training, he didn’t do good research), I thought my only other option to make him happy was to get rid of my dog entirely. I asked every friend I knew if they’d want to adopt my dog, and thankfully nobody took her. I’m grateful for that because my dog has been my steadfast companion that has helped dig me out of my depression pits. Depression is like a pair of shackles, attempting to lock you to something bad. Depression for me is rarely associated with anything positive. I remember when my depression was really bad, that all I could think about is how to end my feelings. I needed something to calm and quiet my mind. Because my depression wasn’t properly taken care of for years, it also manifested as a sort of alternate internal monologue. This monologue was separate from my own, and only whispered negative ideas and concepts to me. It’s like having a nagging voice telling you stuff that you never want to hear. To this day my dad has never understood depression and has no idea how to address it other than making sure that his family members who have depression are taking their medications. He thinks that medication is a full cure to depression, when it really isn’t. To get depression under control, you not only need the right meds that work best for you, and the right doses. But you also need other supports. Supportive Family and friends, useful meditation tools, as well as any sort of brain exercise that addresses any bottled up emotions or unaddressed feelings. Depression is a condition that never rests or takes a break. Every hour is a battle for general joy. But every win is special and something to be acknowledged. One good day is better than none. And if we can have one good day, who’s to say we can’t have more, eh?

I wanted to share a poem I had written about my depression, it is kind of long but I hope you enjoy it as much as possible. Also I am currently feeling much happier so there's no need to worry. If you read the whole thing congratulations, you survived my struggle. What is depression really, I guess it's wanting to stay in bed because no matter how much you try to at night you can't sleep, it's feeling exhausted mentally and emotionally, you're completely drained from doing nothing but having a conversation, it's feeling sad for absolutely no reason, you get easily frustrated and are constantly wanting to give up even with the simplest things, you're always too tired to keep trying and might just let yourself fail, you could feel done with life even if you just had the best day, your energy is spent so quickly, sometimes you may not be sure what to do with yourself because you're constantly bored, with this boredom you might be looking for something new to keep you happy but nothing works, it sometimes makes you feel like everything you do is a waste of time, it makes you feel worthless, like you shouldn't exist, like you should have never been born, it's like if you didn't wake up in the morning everything would be fine and maybe better, it messes with your thoughts and turns them all dark, it can make you want to cry but it won't let you, it wants you to stay closed up and have you keep everything inside even though it knows you can't, it's going to make you explode and keep to yourself, doess it end, does it ever end, does it ever go away, will it ever leave me alone, I don't mind time to myself but it makes me feel lonely even when others are around, I hate it and wish it didn't exist, just go away, I can't stand the constant headaches, the reminders of my past, it all hurts and I'm sick of it, go away and take those nightmares with you, they don't help, you don't help, I've wanted to give up but I can't allow it, I won't let you win, I can't because as much as I'd like to it wouldn't be any better, I don't know what will happen next in my life but I know I can expect pain, as to what happens after my life I can't say I know and that scares me, I'd rather expect pain than a mystery

My story is fairly simple. I was bullied a lot in my younger years by both classmates and parents, and with time I developed depression, as well as social anxiety. The path out of this is never easy, but after years of hopelessness, I can finally find some joy in life! I know it's cliché to say that "things will get better", but they really do! I still feel like shit a lot, but I know those feelings are just temporary and that I'm stronger than that. Just having a positive outlook on life helps, even if forced.

[@Blank123.]

After reading a few comments, I have decided to share a piece of my story. Since I was about 5-7 years old, I've always been a defensive person. Whether it be me defending myself or those I cared about. I developed this trait in pre-K when I was getting bullied, and my parents decided to do nothing about it. Looking back, pretty much seems like I've always been bullied. One day when I was in young 5's and I had gotten in trouble for something that I had no involvement with, I lashed out on a supervisor that was walking me to my class. Mainly because they kept prodding me and I couldn't give them an answer. As I got older and went into elementary, I started hating my parents more because they never did anything for me in these situations. I've never had any friends that were girls when I was a kid because I never really got along with them. More or less, annoyed. I started being friends with the boys because I thought they were so cool and more "reasonable." Am I a boy myself? No, I'm still a female, but it just made the girls at school hate me more. I never really liked any of their crushes, I had my own. Some were in school, a few were from a different school. My mom used to work 2 jobs, one was at a pizza place and the other was at an antique shop. I usually went with my mom to work after school or on the weekends and helped out a little or watch over the owner's son at the shop. Even though he was a year older than me. And at this time, we were both still kids, I was 7 and he was 8. There would be times where we would get into a fight physically and one of us would be left bruised. One day, he coaxed me into a s3x@ul favor for him and it didn't end well since we both got into a fight, and I ran out crying and starting to have panic attacks. I think this was the point where I started maladaptive daydreaming considering I started to think the multiple scenarios and get so wrapped up that I wouldn't notice how much time had passed. I told my mother about this after we left, and she didn't believe me. Just told me that I didn't even know exactly and to not worry about it. After that I started to keep things to myself, get more agitated with every passing year. At some point I told her that I think I need help, that I was depressed. She asked me "how do you know?" I told her that I felt sad all of the time, that I became angry at a lot of people and didn't feel like doing anything ever. Keep in mind that I told her this when I was 8 years old. 8, and didn't even know what depression was yet. She just told me that I was fine, and I didn't need help. So, I decided to never bring it up again. That's just part of the reason of my depression, I just started with the earliest sign when I tried to stop it. Presently, I wish I was adopted or been born into a different family where I wouldn't have to deal with the amount of bs I have to put up with just because. If this gets too long, my condolences.

[@Psychimera]

I can personally understand not gelling with your own gender. I'm a guy, and I don't have deep connections with guys. Girls seem a lot more reasonable to be with - not that I ever approach any, since I view talking to people as wasting their valuable time.

As someone who’s dealt with depression, and who’s lost friends to suicide, I can attest that it’s never even close to worth it. The best people to tell are those who care about you and are willing to listen. Go to a counselor, or a teacher that you trust and have a good relationship with, and do anything you can to get help.

[@min-hakim5868]

After reading some of the comments, I would like to share my own story. From an early age, I was always considered to be different: good and bad both. I was a bookworm and a nerd if you will, and didn't have any problems with it myself. I always distanced myself from other kids because I liked that I was in a personal bubble and it was more exciting than the reality. So, in a way, I was left out in any classroom activities that would have created some sort of support system from school. I had no clue that adults could intentionally harm kids out of malice and spite until gr. 3. Around this time, my mom who was always trying to get me to have some social interactions with my peers started working full time with my dad being abroad. We lived with my grandparents who doted on me and let me be. It finally came crashing down one day when my mom was called by the school about an incident from school. My teacher who I admired at that time started to bully me in sneaky ways until I couldn't take it any more and lashed out physically, coming to blows with another student. That was when I started to believe that I had to fend for myself in the cold world if I wanted to survive because I've lost faith in authority figures and adults in general because they have failed me when I needed help. When I was growing up, even though it took a lot of effort and hard work, I generally triumphed over my obstacles and felt that I could do anything if I applied myself. That's when it came as a shock when I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes because I was only 19 or 20 at the time. One of the comments that hurt me the most was from a nurse who said she has never seen someone in my condition who was so young. That made me blame myself for everything and I felt useless. My family tried to help me by trying everything so I will be able to go into remission. But, I felt abandoned emotionally. I didn't want to change my diet, didn't want to be forced to exercise with my mom in toll, didn't want to do blood work every three months for my A1C only to be told I've failed to do my homework. After going through extreme measures that were unstainable in diet and exercise regimes like going extremely carnivore and exercising 5 times a week, having to move on from metformin and rapaglinide because my stomache couldn't take it any more, and being told they will put in on long and short term insulin finally broke me. It was like hearing a death sentence for me, and I felt they've given up on me, my body has given up on me. I was a failure and there's only downhill from now on. My parents have supported me through this, but they were like my life support. My dad would try to have heart to heart conversations and my mom dragged me to the gym with her 3 days of the week, but my heart just wasn't into it any more. I've also developed bad body image at this time because I've started to have skin problems that comes and goes like atopic dermatitis. I was angry at the world, myself, and the situation as the whold with nobody to blame but myself. I prided myself on my intellect. I should have known better. My endrocronologist had referred me to a therapist at this time and I started the healing process. I was able to see beyond my angers because it was self-torture, and I wanted to move beyond this and heal myself and my family. I started to go to church and participated in Bible studies at my mom's urging. I found some contexts for the feelings and thoughts that was in my head, and started to share some of my feelings and thoughts and reached out to others. I feel like I am returning the favors and kindness others have shown me, including my mom who also has started Bible study herself recently through her own depression symptoms. I've worked through my problems and still have a few that I'm working towards like my lack of concentration and insomnia. I'm taking baby steps one step at a time, and I believe I can get better. I'm sorry if this was too long for you to read. I've started to rant because I feel a little bit emotional tonight. Hope everythings all good with you all.

And when u have talked to ur teachers, therapist, friends, family and health staff about ur problems and u get no response u begin to think “if they can’t help me, who really can?” I have learned to deal with it on my own, cleaning my scars and hiding it from the world!

[@Stickycarpet78]

Here’s how I escaped depression. I was once depressed, I felt all of these feelings and felt as if life were a punishment. I viewed the world as a failure of existence and wanted nothing to do with it. I hated every second I was awake and didn’t desire to live. I wanted to end it so bad. Life was without joy or purpose and was filled with sadness and hate. I never confided in anyone and had everyone thinking I was alright. But somehow, I managed to slowly gain momentum by looking into myself and logically assessing myself and what I was going through. Turns out just going to the gym and pretending to be happy wasn’t cutting it, so I gave myself the hope I needed. I put effort, despite how incredibly hard it was, into myself. I improved my looks and a lot of my skills and ended up slowly gaining confidence. This kindled hope in my heart and gave me a little bit of self worth. From there, I stoked the flames and eventually found joy and good and reason to live in life. Now, instead of casting the world aside, I see the good in it and try my best to save it from all the bad things, because as much as it might seem to be a lost cause, it’s not. So my advice to all of you who are trying to escape depression is to improve yourself, your confidence, and find hope, and hold on tight to it, as hard as it might be. You got this 🤙

I have been diagnosed with depression since I was a kid and been dealing with it ever since. Went to therapy and took meds, ya know that whole schtick, but it never really worked out all that well. Doesn’t help that I adopted a sort of nihilism and pessimism along the way but I am way too stubborn to let it get me down without some effort. But on the days that it does, I just feel cold both emotionally and physically, and I want to cry like hell but I refuse too because I can’t personally justify crying due to it simply because of how long I’ve had it.

[@quinzys1729]

Ca 2019 I got depressed because many people/pets that i loved died. My polish grandgrandma that i loved so much passed away after a heartattack. 2 Months later, our 9 year old cat passed away because of inherited stomach cancer, my good friend alex that really meant something to me ghosted me after 2 years of friendship. And after ive got bullied so hard that i wanted to stay in all day, i got depressed. I isolated myself even further and stop talking to my friends (or most of them). And there it comes :the pandemic.. Because of online class i couldnt even go to school and i felt trapped and alone. My parents argued every day which made my situation even worse. I cried everyday in my bed because i was telling myself that i have deserved all of this because theres no one that loves me or that care about me. That has been going on for 1 month until we found a baby cat in the forest which we adopted. I felt better because i could always talk with her or cuddle with her. 1 year later she died in our living room because after an operation her stomach has torn open and she meowed painfully and died 40 seconds after. After that i really wanted to die. I felt like ive lost everyone close to me. After about 6 months i failed class and had to retake it which meant i wouldnt see my classmates again (they finished school and i was the only one that didnt.) In that time ive refound psych2go (because i watched her videos once a few years ago) and i found videos about depression so i ended up watching every video i could see because it felt so friendly and lovely and was a variety to the daily stress ive gone through. That calm voice really helped me calm down. But still i had lost the believe that my depression would ever go away so i stoped fighting and sit all day in my bed. Ive also created an also, I've gotten into a bad habit of always smiling because I didn't think I was worth people worrying about me. But a few months later, ive found a girl that wanted to be friends with me and we are best friends now. She really helped me with my depression because she gave me the feeling that someone likes me and my personallity. My depression isnt really gone but at least its not attacking me for now. I still have some phases late at night (because i always cried then) that i feel down and very self hated. I know that my grammar might not be the best here, but I hope you understood anyway. My tips: Open up to a person you don't know in any context. Not just anyone on the street, of course, but someone you find trustworthy. Because you don't have to worry about anything. Depression isn't something anyone would laugh about. So hear music. Music made me feel understood and welcomed. If a weirdo like me can come over 2 years of depression, it should be a piece of cake for you

Ever since I started school in person after doing it online for 5 years, I felt like I never truly belonged, well, anywhere. I was sheltered, and stayed at home on a farm with my mom and siblings all day without a clue of what was really going on in the world. 5th-7th grade was awful. I got horrible grades, was overemotional, and said or did things that weren't appreciated and caused bullying and many, many misunderstandings. I became a loner, and couldn't really stick with a particular friend group. Covid and doing schoolwork online gave me a new perspective on how to reach success, but I got it in 9th grade, was quarantined again for three months, and everything I once had was lost. I was diagnosed with GAD and unspecified depression in 10th grade, after researching and finding out I likely have ADHD and high functioning autism. Nevertheless, I made a friend who's autistic and I'm planning to start a Neurodiversity Club at my school! I'll admit, I have more trouble fitting in than I ever did, but it's not so bad when you finally find yourself and your goals. To anyone out there struggling: 1. You're not alone 2. Life won't always be this way 3. You aren't at fault for this 4. Your struggles do not define you 5. Those struggles will help you grow as a person

[@insertnamehere663]

I’m a husband and father of two that has been dealing with many of these factors. Waking up exhausted and/or drained has been very tough for me, especially since I’m the one who is taking care of the kids in the mornings. There will be nights where I will sleep 8-10 hours straight, or an hour here, two hours there with the same result. Constantly feeling tired and sluggish almost every morning puts such a strain on me because I want to make sure I get my kids taken cared of when they’re up (breakfast, getting dressed, bathing, etc.) while trying to get out of the “funk” That I’m dealing with. Losing joy and pleasure of tasks and hobbies has been another huge factor as well. I would love playing my instruments and video games, and my kids would love watching me play them, but it has been hard to pick up a controller or the instrument because I have lacked heavily in motivation or joy in doing so. It has gotten so bad, that my oldest has asked “daddy, why don’t you play anymore?” Which I just give the excuse of something like “daddy is too tired” or “daddy is taking a break,” because he’s too young to know what I’m dealing with and why I’m feeling the way I’m feeling (I say it just like this because I’ve never been officially diagnosed with any type of depression). The food factor has been very tough as well. There will be more days where I will eat one big meal daily, or two medium sized meals. On the days I eat the one huge meal, it’s at night after work. I’ll find something in the fridge or freezer to cook up (because my family is asleep when I get home), and eat to my heart’s “content,” or until I can’t eat anymore, making that my only meal of the day. On the days that I eat more than once, it’s usually making the breakfast in the morning and the usual late night dinner. The hopelessness is the biggest mental hurdle for me because of my family. My day to day life feels like there isn’t much that’s left to achieve or strive for, but I shield this as much as I can to my wife and kids because I don’t want them to be dragged down with me in the mental state that I’m feeling. At home with my family, I do what I can to look and feel as normal as I possibly can, but when they are not around, I feel numb and just want to cry. I do feel anger and I get easily stressed, but I mostly feel numb when they’re not around. It’s like having a mask over my face when I’m at home, and taking it off when I go to work or have a night off to myself. The physical pain is also a struggle. Going back to the sleep inconsistencies, I do wake up with pain throughout my back and legs. I had a work accident 8 years ago and injured my shoulder, and it hasn’t flared up until I have been feeling these things. Since then, it would bother me a few times a week, making it difficult to do just the basic tasks throughout the day, let alone going to work. I’m usually on my feet all day long, and most days, I wouldn’t have to worry about my feet hurting. Lately, it’s like I’m walking through pins and needles morning, noon, & night. Even if I haven’t done much throughout the day, it still feels as if I trekked up a mountain by day’s end. I’ve had chronic back pain for as long as I can think of, and I would love to get that, as well as my mental state taken cared of, but I’m on a budget and I can’t really afford those services now, nor does it look like it’ll be happening anytime soon. I just keep thinking to myself that I’m just in a funk, but this “funk” has been lasting for months now, and I feel like I’m losing the battle more by the day. I don’t really have anyone to talk to, as I have MAJOR social anxiety, as well as having very little social media to begin with. Throwing this out there does help because it’s been one of the only times I’ve been able to vent this out. I’ve kept myself bottled up until now, and I’m fighting back tears as I put this altogether. I don’t need sympathy from anyone, I just wanted to let this off my chest because it’s been a big struggle for me to deal with.

Hi. I recently came across (on KZbin) the word "anhedonia". It is described as "When you just don't feel pleasure anymore, from the things you used to love or care about. It describes what I've been feeling, too. I just didn't know that there was an actual name for it, though. Hope you find this helpful, in some way.

[@dilaraacar7000]

As my friend and I were in a some bad situation, she handled the situation and let it go, while i was being hopeless myself. (she knows about my struggles, explained and tried to help me feel better, and it helped me) Knowing that "not feeling of joy" was a feeling and perspective of mine changed my point of view.

I feel like this video came at the right time, I have been struggling so much and this makes so much sense, I was diagnosed with depression about 11 years ago when my mum died, it's always been so hard to explain what it's like, I feel like sometimes I feel everything but feel nothing at the same time. There's always that voice saying it's my fault, I caused this and it really hurts seeing people getting on with their lives but I feel stuck. It's always the is it me what have I done wrong, it feels like an endless cycle of feeling hopeless and feeling like there's no point to anything. Like there's no point to me. I am nothing. Depression sucks big time. If you read all that I'm sorry and I hope your ok. Things will get better

I've been depression since I was a kid getting rescued from an abusive and criminal family. Dealing with depression of this kind of magnitude is absolutely soul crushing, I've never found a reason to enjoy life and things. I became a man of few words and eat little (might also be unable to taste or smell). I have spoken with people but they don't really help, instead make it worse by taking advantage of my mindstate. I'm not sure what else there is to do, either than endure this pain.

[@kadiebee9583]

My story: So back earlier this year, my mom who I'm very close with, was diagnosed with a non-cancerous brain tumor that left her permanently blind. The fallout from that was when my depression started to get even worse. It had started getting bad in the 2nd half of 2021 but this is where a steady decline went to plummeting downhill. As this year went on it was getting harder for me to find a reason to wake up in the morning, I'd go days without showering because I didn't have the energy to do it, I failed a class for the first time, I started losing interest in things first they were tiny and about two months ago, I questioned if I even wanted to do musical theatre, which is something I genuinely wanted to go into professionally years before. I'm still struggling today with my depression, I cried basically all day yesterday (I'm having issues with my friend group) and I just feel like life is going great for so many people and I'm just stuck in this sinkhole of sadness that I'll never be able to get out of. I'm not jealous of them, in fact, I'm happy for them, I just wish I could find a way to be truly happy again without my depression getting in the way. I'm currently receiving counseling and sometimes seeing a psychiatrist so hopefully sooner rather than later, things might start looking up. Thank you for listening 💜

[@Sn0wShepherd]

Stick with the counseling maybe even group counseling and stay away from SSRI because those things do not help depression not even in the placebo group. If you're on an SSRI don't just stop taking it because they are extremely difficult to come off of and if you go on one you need constant surveillance for at least the first two weeks from someone who knows how to detect suicidal ideation through facade of happiness or sudden mood changes. Don't start with them and if you're on them find a way to come off slowly and carefully. Serotonin has zero impact on depression. Depression is best dealt with utilizing group therapy and individual therapy and by finding a good psychologist who can help you retell your story in a way that ameliorates the trauma that you feel. I wish you the very best andhedonia can be awful

I've been seeing a therapist who can also prescribe medication. When I started sessions with her, everything started to improve. Physical and mental health don't just overlap, they are literally the same thing. Emotions are chemical reactions inside our body. And there are a multitude of things that can affect that. There is not a pill that will take away all your pain, and there is not a lifestyle that will make you feel complete. It is a combination of these working together that can truly bring results. Keep in mind, this took years for me to get. Trial and error is a process that you will have to go through, but it is 1000% worth it in the end.

[@skalawitz]

The idea of going to the other side is the only comfort I can imagine in this cruel world that nobody cares about you especially when you have nothing.

[@isabellakarlsson53]

I can relate to this. Well, here's my story: Before 7th grade I was a energetic, happy person who only had negative thoughts once in a while. But everything changed once I started 7th grade. And at first I thought I was just tired or stressed. I never had any energy for anything. And I had terrible thoughts. Now imagine having a bad day, that's kinda how it was for me every day. And I tried to find the solution to my problem every chance I got- stress, burned out, and depressed- that's what came up. But I matched the symptoms of depression the most- so soon enough I took a depression quiz. I had it. And it felt a little better afterwards, knowing what it was. And every day was so hard. I was so tired and I just felt hopeless. I told my friends this- my bestie tried to relate, but I couldn't. Because it was so much more than just exhaustion! I always had a bad day, and at first I didn't realize but then I did. My days started okay but ended terrible- that was like my routine. And good days barely came by- but that was only ”feeling good for being depressed”, I still had bad thoughts but I just didn't feel like laying down and complain every damn second. Soon enough I started telling people (not my family, no eww, obviously) but in a comedic way that made them laugh. Yeah, I know. And before you go and wonder why I didn't tell my family then just think about it- how do parents react to teenage depression? Is it the right way? Do they say that they'll support you, get you help, and just be there for you? No, it's not. And before anyone complains about that, it's true. And their not just being strict! They judge you and just overall make you feel worse about yourself. Okay? And my parents have never really liked my negative emotions- they just tell me I'm overreacting. It's the same shit every time. And every time I have a breakdown, my mom just makes it all about her. They'll just make me feel guilty for being depressed. And it's pretty much always been like this. The only time they care about my feelings are when it has a ’valid’ reason. That reason being bullying. Yeah, I've been bullied and that's pretty much the only time they've accepted my emotions. But they still don't get it. Never had, never will. They give me my physical needs, but not my emotional ones. And I'm still suffering from this. But it's gotten better. My coping mechanism is writing and the internet. That's what has helped the most. My friends have had a part of it too and I'm grateful for that.

[@Lizard_Ri]

Darn, depression sucks, but i can say, not every adult is like that. I didnt tell my because I didnt wanted to be a burden. Sounds like your parents just didnt knew what to do.

[@Casvondrak]

It’s something that’s always there. Even in the brightest points of your life it is there. For me, it’s like there are tears behind my eyes that are constantly there. No matter how much I rest I don’t feel recharged. When it’s in full swing, I feel isolated from everyone. I can see a group of my friends having fun and I’ll join in but the whole time I feel empty and like I don’t belong. Sometimes there are thoughts that my friends don’t really care about me, that I’m a burden instead of a friend. So I shut myself in at home. It’s even worse when it comes to dating, I’ll over critique my appearence and the slightest argument is cause for me to think it’s the end. It is a CONSTANT… and terrible thing. It’s like having someone sitting on your shoulders and whispering negative things in your ear

As a freshman in college with practically no friends, I’ve been struggling for a while.. I went from going to parties and having so many friends in high school to nothing. Yet back then I was still not satisfied.. now it’s even worse. I have the same meaningless routine everyday and I feel so trapped. I have so many outlets and support but I’m too scared to use them or even think of using them. I’m overwhelmed with grief and emotion but you could never tell.. people think I’m fine, just a normal kid. On the inside I feel like I’m the only one going through this. I’m either way too happy and energetic or the complete opposite. I feel like I’m a burden to my family and that I provide them with nothing. I feel Ike I take advantage of them and their time and money.. I want nothing more than to just rush my life ahead. I want a career, family, my own money.. but I’m stuck in school with no job or hobbies. I have to get up everyday and be thankful for what I have and what my future holds though. I can’t live in this state anymore. I have to battle this funk I’m in and persevere. This is the first time I’ve really put myself out there like this. It feels good to put my experience in the comments. I could have it so much worse in life, but with this sickness you can’t concept anything else being worse. It’s like being in a mental prison.

I didn't necessarily have depression, but during the pandemic I thought I did. I often felt tired of the cycle of my life, my only friend usually talked about her day more than ask about mine, and I felt that my relationship with my parents was going downhill. This went on until my parents wanted me to be friends with their friend's children, at first I was adamant since I became more introverted and shy after the pandemic(since not socializing for 2years takes a toll on you) but then I got more close with them, and I started to feel less lonely. Right now, we don't talk as much as we used to when were newly acquainted but it still makes me happy that they are there for me when I want to talk and likewise. I know it has nothing to do with the video, but I just wanted to share since sometimes it's not just depression that makes you sad sometimes being alone takes a huge toll on you. That's not to say you might not have depression, I'm merely telling my experience. And yes I know it can be hard making friends but you can do it, it just takes time and patience.

[@dannny_imgay]

i've never been diagnosed with depression, and when i talk to my family abt the stuff i go through, they dismiss it as part of growing up, puberty and hormones. now, i know that's most likely true, but sometimes, it gets to the point where i'll sleep for hours, and then still wake up feeling like crap, i'll even take several naps on the weekend, but that still doesn't help. Usually, the reason i take naps isn't because i'm tired or bored, but because i either feel helpless or overwhelmed by thoughts and feelings. i constantly find myself comparing myself to others, and thinking i'm not good enough, and hating myself. sometimes i cant shower because i hate my body to the point i cry and get p!ssed off when i see it (i struggle with gender dysphoria, ik, it's stupid). sometimes i won't eat barely anything all day, and this will go on for months, then i go months over eating, but overeating never lasts long 'cause then i feel like im fat, and that just makes it worse. i never have the motivation to do anything. i used to be an A B student, but now im struggling with turning in the work. i never really talk abt physical pain, but most of the time my body is sore (even right now), and sometimes i get these headaches, but my mom usually dismisses it, like always, as "caffeine headaches", but the thing abt that is i dont really drink a whole lot of caffeine... yes, i know its probably just something that'll pass (im only in 9th grade), but it's still really hard,ive recently started s3lfharm, and these feelings will go on for months (they're worse during school breaks like winter, spring, and summer break, when im not around friends)... anyways, thanks if u read this....haha...ha

[@bushboi6942]

It feels like I’m on a different planet sometimes. One with a heavy gravitational pull and sometimes foggy and with no air. All things feel the same and it’s claustrophobic but I can’t break from the routine. The hopelessness is the thing that always brings me down, a hook on my mind. The worst thing is that it never goes away. Ever heard of that thing where if you hear something enough you’ll believe it? It’s that. It makes nothing anyone else says make it better as it’s not said enough, and that’s if I force myself to accept their compliments. All of this however, is when I get the pleasure to feel something. Mostly it’s just nothing, I feel like a ghost, just lingering around in a place I shouldn’t. The static in my mind is hard to decipher, leading me to not often knowing how to explain it. I’m mostly guessing or just reporting on things I can remember I’ve done, heaven knows it’s made that thing so much worse. It’s become my new norm now. Makes it almost addicting. And not wanting to go on cause of “what’s the point” so enticing. Been on that edge a few times… But I’m still here, for one reason or another, actually one being a song you guys released, breathe i think it was. It’s slowly getting better. I do a depression test every once in a While and my score is getting better. I’m not sure if this’ll be read of if I just wasted my time but oh well

@@Psych2go so this might be long but pretty much my dad is kinda toxic, in June 2021 he started forcing me to do work for him that I’ve never cared about. That caused me to hate him, then after like 1 year of nothing but hatred it turned into irritability, sadness, and just recently I’ve stopped eating, I don’t really socialize, I’m very lonely, and it’s INCREDIBLY difficult for me to figure out how I feel, even typing this is weird for me. But for some reason I want to stay in this phase to maybe get my parents attention because they seem to not care. That’s not quite everything but it’s roughly how I feel. And thank you guys for showing me different symptoms of different disorders, it’s also just interesting. Once again thank you for reading this and have a great day 😊

These symptoms are just the tip of the iceberg when dealing w depression. I feel like most people think depression is just something that you feel every once in a while when something bad happens but It really does get to a point where even in conversation your brain just feels like mush and you cant comprehend what others are saying. Depression is a very real thing and it should not be treated as a “fake illness”.

i definitely relate to this as a person who has had depression ever since i was a teenager. it’s definitely hard to deal with life when my mind is screaming at me. i want it all to stop… the thoughts to quiet down, but idk how to stop them. i’ve been tired more and more every day and my family says “i understand” but i don’t believe it, they also only say “is this you just being hard on yourself again?” - but i don’t think i was ever nice to myself or experienced kindness growing up, so of course i’m going to be hard on myself and think of myself in a negative light because i was never taught from a young age to be kind to myself. i was always criticized and it still happens in my adult life too. people said to me in high school, “you don’t look depressed.” but i never knew what to tell them and my go to answer when people ask how i am is “fine” or “good” when i know i’m mentally exhausted. i just feel broken.

I think I fully realized my depression a few years ago when I started high-school, but then I saw that it was the same as all of the years of schooling before that. I am very introverted and being around people is hard. Nowadays I have almost zero social interaction, no motivation, and MANY intrusive thoughts. My head is my hellscape sometimes and this video definitely ticked all of the boxes that I resonate with. I feel like more people should see things like this that can explain these concepts because empathy can be a useful tool for a lot of people. This channel is doing great work promoting these mental health issues to help others see the true side of it all. ☺👍

All of these videos have helped in some way,Especially this one as it is almost Impossible to explain to someone how depression affects you without sounding whiny or pathetic, I’m sharing this with a few who might better understand, not having support makes self care almost impossible 🙏🏼 God Bless and TRY Not to Give Up… 💕

I knew as a young child I had depression but never had the formal diagnosis. So I masked being happy. It made it worse but now I’m in therapy

[@emuli795]

Right after I got my diagnosis with depression I felt so quilty about it. Me and my mind and my depression said like 'Its my fault why I ended up like that'. Deep down I knew its not like that. My mum also told me the same. That quilty feeling took away all of my energy so I just sat in my home doing nothing. But thanks to your amaizing videos, my meds, my friends and family and my new job I'm feeling so much better than few months ago. Seriously so big thank you gyus! When you posted that video '7 stage of burnout' it felt like it was ment for me and that helped me so much to understand my self. All in all your amaizing videos helping me to understand my self and love to my self. My personal fave videos from you are all of those videos about HSP.🤭👍🏻🤗❤️

I always used to think that depression was just getting sad for no reason and that there was no point wasting your time just being upset. But ever since lockdown started I’ve been severely depressed and I haven’t felt any better, only worse. I’ve found it hard trying to open my mind and listen to people who only want to help. When they tell me about the good things in life, all I can actually think about is how hopeless and useless I am. When they try to convince me that I’m faking it or that “I’m just a teenager” it angers me. I feel like I can’t trust anyone anymore or myself for that matter. I’m trying. But it’s difficult and it scares me. I don’t want to be depressed, I want to look forward to waking up everyday with crazy amounts of energy and a big smile on my face. Anyway, what I’m trying to get at is that trying to get out of depression is difficult and it seems completely impossible with me. But I hope that it changes one day and I hope that it will for you too.
