I personally have all of these symptoms and I have been told that I am clinically depressed, anxious and suicidal concerned. I do all of these things and even at my job they have an event coming up that I have to be there for the guests/customers but, I'm petrified of being there cause I don't know what to say or anything and when I'm away from my gaming i criticize myself real bad. I haven't found the root but, I feel as though that if I don't fix it then, I'll get better. Being numb isn't so bad for majority of your life. I mean, I've felt numb for 20+ years and I don't know what the root is. But, I guess I wanted to come on here and say that were not alone but, I guess I went on rambling or wasting time. Sorry to those who read this. I didn't mean to take time out of your day. I guess I just feel alone a lot of the time and I resort to comments section.

I'm glad I learned that this has a name. This whole time, I was under the impression these symptoms were from my autism (getting exhausted from masking too much, feeling behind, not feeling happy when I should, etc)
For decades, I've been in a pattern of not really showing depression symptoms for a couple years but then they would start surfacing and I'd think Oh, I'm relapsing. I thought I dealt with this 5 years ago but I guess not. For the past year or two, there have been numerous occasions where I would have depressive episodes, basically, but I would dismiss it because I'm not depressed anymore, I can't have depressive episodes.
Learning that this is an actual thing and I'm not being dramatic or delusional is very relieving, although I have no idea how to even start going about dealing with the trauma that caused this

I remembered the days when I went to school feeling empty and numb. I only do things to survived the day and nothing more. And I ended up doing it repeatedly in almost 5 more months I think. When the pandemic starts I think it really gives me a rest. Pandemic really helped me to think, project and realized things, it serves to me as an enlightenment. Though until now theres a time or moment that I will experience the same again but I'm in control na. I think ignoring your feelings will help instead of keeping your attention in it. Ignore until you feel okay.

It's hard when everything is always weighing down on you and what you really want is to achieve everything effortlessly, but everything just takes so much energy. Like yes I go to school and rehearsal and shit because I have to? I can't just not go because I feel like shit? That's not an option. And the thing is, I do care about having a good life and I want to be happy and successful, it's just that a lot of the time it just feels like I'm trying so hard to reach it that I'm gonna rip my arm off in the process

Yes this hits a lot of bells as to what Ive been feeling the last few months. One question, you say if you want to stop this to find the source of it which would be what? I just dont understand what exactly Im supposed to try to aim for, considering it was somewhat spontaneous for me and not directed intentionally. Great content though, keep up the good work!

There are times that I feel like I want to open up to others but I'm afraid that they'll just disregard me and say I'm just over reacting or it's just drama. I'm a very emotional person. A little argument could make me cry. It's hard acting all tough with others when you just want to cry but can't because they'll say you're a man. A man isn't supposed to cry.

I had an abusive and toxic love relationship, and finally broke up, I hope Ican be happy but I feel so sad and depressed that I dont feel happy to do my fav things anymore. And he met someone less than a month after we broke up. I dont know why i am sying this, I just want to express it. I kept it and it feel uncomfortably hurt inside.

Is not about finding the root of it. Most of us do know what it is. We're just afraid of doing something about it still. My biggest coping mechanism is thinking about how everything would be if it was the way I want it to (or need it to, the feeling I get once I reach that thought is enough to keep me going a little bit more.

This video was too vague and set me down the wrong path, my problem was ADHD not depression.
Self diagnosis with generic traits like this is NOT a good form of diagnosis.
Like litterally, look at the comments a bunch of them are more closely alligned to ADHD symptoms.

Me: I'm so depressed
My mom: You just need to get some exercise.
Ugh! Come on! Why is exercise your answer to everything? Yes it does release endorphins and can help you feel better when you're in a funk, but it is very much not a cure for depression.

I was diagnosed with major depressive disorder, but this fits what i am going through and what i feel better than that diagnosis. I will talk to my doctor and therapist about this. Thank you, I wonder if this will change my treatment plan.

High functioning, clinical, seasonal affective not sure it matters what you call it when its ongoing and chronic. Strategies from here and strategies from there only chip away brief sadness but the heaviness remains

Have had this for about 20 years now. Tried treatment (several antidepressants, tried therapy. None of it really panned out for me. Honestly I've gotten this far living with it I might as well just keep going.

I have all of that. So the sever depression and anxiety I had 3 years ago that I thought just went away on its own actually could have just turned into high functioning depression then.

This is probably what I have. I already knew I was depressed but didn't realize that because I handle everything anyway despite how I feel when work is done. This explains a lot.

I guess I finally got 100% on a test. I was freaking out how matched I was with this. Like no joke started panicking thinking they were watching me or something.
