Severe depression is genuinely terrifying because your mind turns against you and you are thinking of ways to not exist and that is dark and scary to experience. Truly the worst thing to experience that dread and not know where it will take you, it’s the fear

He got me out of it and I’m not perfect but I have a working brain now and feel much happier than I was. God bless u I hope he finds you❤

I’ve been struggling with depression for 10 years. It comes and goes sometimes and can come on out of nowhere with no warning and for no particular reason. A few months ago, I came off of medication and seeing a therapist. I did very well for several months on my own and I started to think maybe I could deal with it on my own. Then, about two weeks ago, my depression flared up out of nowhere and caught me by surprise. I now have an appointment with a Dr and may need to be on medication again. Realizing I needed to get help again felt like a punch in the gut. I felt like a failure. I struggle with depression because I just want to be normal. I don’t want to deal with it and I hate that it affects those around me, especially my husband. Listening to this felt like a light at the end of the tunnel. Gave me hope when everything seems bleak❤

I have struggled with mental illness and my mental health since I was a kid. Before I even knew what those terms were. After years of depression, anxiety, and even an attempt to take my life, I never thought I would be able to live without psych medications. I clung to them because it was the only thing that made my mind quiet, but it also made me a zombie. Microdosing has given me control of my mental health for the first time, and they essentially gave me my life back.

You worded this amazingly. I’ve been depressed for as long as I can remember and was diagnosed when I was 13. I try so hard to ignore that diagnosis and tell myself that everyone is just like me, but I knew deep down something always made me feel separated and different from others. I related so much to the thoughts of feeling too privileged and weak to be this way. I can’t ever figure out what went wrong and why it is I feel this way-some things can be obvious contributors , but other times I feel like I’m the best I’ve ever been and wonder if I’m just lazy or ungrateful. It’s so hard to constantly battle these thoughts and feel like I can’t express my feelings without someone viewing me as less or trying to hospitalize or medicate me. I try telling myself if I’ve done something before then I can do it again, even when sometimes it feels like the cycle never ends and I don’t have the strength this time. I hope everyone who relates can keep growing and maintain or find their motivation. Because despite everything, life is beautiful and there are so many things you don’t want to miss.

I am so ashamed that I have a good situation, a loving husband, no extreme financial problems, a wonderful flat near a beautiful park with a lake, and still some days can’t shower nor eat.

@melina paixao82 hang in there,I been living with and feeling like Angelica described almost 100 percent. I have been going through this for most of my life, and I’m 64 yo. Your very fortunate that you have the support of family and friends, many of us do not. That is extremely important in recovery of people like us with mental health issues. Being embarrassed and ashamed of my mental health WAS normal feelings and part of the process. Not no more, I am open book to anyone willing to listen but a lot of times I have to go out and find that. there’s a reason I’m watching this Ted talk from a year ago, (and reading the comments) because for me that’s part of my recovery or what some of us Call tools, and in my tool box I have many that I have collected through out the years, I just need to use them more often. Good luck to you and your family.❤

Thank you for this speech and sharing this. I didnt know that I was dealing with depression & anxiety all these years since I was a kid. I've always wondered why I am always feeling depressed and now in my 30s, I have spent the past 6-7 years trying to get better after a few mental break downs. I always tried to mask it by joking or pretending to be happy now its too hard to hard the other older I get. I sometimes now overshare my thoughts when they are extreme and I sometimes beat myself up mentally doing it thinking im crazy and such a mess. Listening to you really helps me understand depression more, that its real and find out ways to be okay with it. Also being okay to express it to others because its hard when people do not know what I/we are going through. Thank you!

on disability because of it. i never get more than a couple of days before it returns, full force. nearly 30 years, now, and a childhood full of inexplicable sadness even before that. it has put everything i've ever wanted well out of reach. that last one is without a doubt the worst trigger of them all. by all normal societal definitions, i am an abject failure. and i will not let myself forget it. and i don't know who else has this experience with their mental illness, but i don't have good days. i feel hopelessness constantly. the best days i get are simply ones where the hopelessness is slightly milder. that's the best it ever gets.

Its all in the head and thats the fact howsoever you try to neglect that. Just accept it. Your negative thoughts are not letting you sleep there is no other reason at all. Just force you to be positive, by force means really force yourself, let the negative thoughts come in just casually drift them away, forget whatever happened in the past. Its fine you were not able to sleep earlier doesn't matter for weeks, months or years, accept it, because negatives thoughts were overpowering you but from now onwards, from today onwards just let them come you are ready to say no to them. Force yourself to talk to your favourite ones howsoever dull you feel talking to them. Negative feelings want you to be alone so that they can conquer you. Don't let their wish fulfill. Stay with your family, stay with your loved ones, howsoever weird you feel. Trust me this is the only way to overcome your fear and the problem. There is no other way. Don't fight the surrounding fight your thoughts ,atleast give it a genuine try you will soon realise how miraculous this thing is you don't need any medicine at all.

I’m here because I been having one of the worst depressions I’ve ever had. I feel so low. My eyes are bloodshot from tears. My status is like an open wound that’s infected. It takes alot just to put on a mask. I’m barely holding on. I do feel safe from myself currently. The thought of just not feeling or being nothing crosses my mind but not acting on it as I’ve had bipolar disorder most of my life and I’m 45 now. I don’t have anyone to talk to about my problems and it gets lonely. I keep telling myself that I’ll be okay and just to think positive but when I do, I feel like I’m lying to myself and masking myself from myself.

I've struggled with clinical depression my whole life. I've tried therapy and medication, and they do give me a brief moment of relief, but then my mind clouds over again and I just stop. My friends and family, and even my previous therapist, tell me that I just need to get out of the house and start eating properly: that I just need to DO these things. But, it feels like I physically can't. It is just so debilitating and perpetual, and it's also really scary. I'm scared my future will be affected by my inability to get out of bed and I'm scared I'll never be able to be happy.

The first time I took meds, I had the best sleep ever. Like greengre4689 said, head feels calm and the chatter lessened.

Well spoken. Help and Support is paramount in depression. It's too hard but we should never quit and give up. To persist and be resilient is the way to carry on. Without hope all seems lost, but difficult times prepare for strong individual. Learn to love and appreciate life regardless of depressive pessimistic thoughts. It's something we need to learn to live along and no one might understand the pain and struggle. But that's okay. Infact never complain just share love,kindness and compassion for everything around. Keep self busy with things and you'll feel helped and relieved a bit by your actions that will bring some hope back perhaps.

Put your faith in Jesus. He is alive and He still saves. He saved my life and made me new. I survived suicidal attempts, was hospitalized and on life support. For over 20 years I battled with depression, anxiety, insomnia, low self esteem until Jesus delivered me of all of the demons that were trying to steal, kill, and destroy my life. If you are struggling with mental illness, call onto Jesus! HE HEALS! He completely healed me and made me new. Repent of your sins and ask for forgiveness. He will give it to you. God loves us so much. He doesn’t wish to see any of us perish. Time is running out! Please call on Him, ask to be born again, in Jesus name. He will come soon, and every knee will bow to our almighty King! He who died on the cross for our sins and was then resurrected. Jesus Christ is King!

The thing you said abt intentionality really hit home. Ive never seen a doctor to get diagnosed but I know I have dark days and episodes that once almost led me to giving up completely. But nowadays im feeling better especially when i tell myself im doing a certain something for myself. Everyday i try to go to work earlier and I tell say that im doing it for myself and it makes me feel better.

PTSD, Anxiety, complex trauma, and depression has been impairing a lot of people around the world and researchers have proven that mind manifestation (microdosing) has been of great help to us, I was struggling for years but now I'm more creative and productive. You see psychedelics does a lot more good than harm and I feel there’s more to it we’re yet to discover. Albovegateway gave me a shot at life after so many years.

I'm a non diagnosed, medically neglected, ethnic minority, unemployed, undeveloped,unsupported,unhappy British woman approaching my 30s with no life quality and ideating suicide each day. Yet I pretend all is well. I'm not here to boast but to say that acting fine can indeed be done. In an ideal world every one would care for one another's well-being but since this is reality, and especially as an ethnic minority who is already marginalised, you have to pretend all is well.

Hold on, my friend. I understand what you are saying. I know early on I started trying to find meaning out of my worst experiences. Look for what you can learn from situations no one would choose to go through. There are valuable character lessons that will make you wiser and more empathetic and compassionate. People need this and there are very few who have it in them to offer.

Going Through It The strongest souls fight the most difficult battles. Depression is like an angry dragon that fights us. To master depression, you have to go through it. One does not defeat the angry dragon. Because you are the dragon and the depression. You slowly become one with the dragon and the depression and gain strength in going through it.

When shadows grow long and hope starts to fade, And the weight of the world feels endlessly laid, You’ve walked through the fire, you’ve stumbled and tried, Yet no peace has come, only tears you’ve cried. But have you yet called to the One unseen, To the Maker of stars, where mercy leans? If faith feels distant, just take this chance, Close the door softly, step into the dance. Say, "God, if You’re there, hear my broken plea, I’m lost in this darkness, come rescue me. If You exist, show Your mercy today, Heal this burden, and light my way." In the quiet, a whisper might brush your soul, A warmth in the cold that starts to console. And should He answer, you’ll never forget, The love that surrounds, the peace in the debt. So in your struggle, remember this vow, When life overwhelms and you don’t know how: Seek the divine, with heart open wide, For in your asking, He walks by your side.
