Depression and mental illness can feel like they are weighing down on the quality of life. For Giving Week 2018, Psych2Go wants to share a compilation of what people with depression what you to understand, because it's easy to make assumptions about a depressed person. Depression isn't as easy as just being healthier or exercising more, and it's not easy to understand why one might feel depressed. It's not that we're not trying hard enough when we are depressed; we can't snap out of it that easily. We feel like a burden when we are depressed, and don't want to annoy or bother others. We truly appreciate your efforts, but don't want you to try and fix us, either. Do you empathize with any of these feelings? Please remember - the Psych2Go family is always here for you, if you need someone to reach out to. Our comment section is always a very friendly and inclusive safe circle! Psych2Go is delighted to be a part of Giving Week 2018, specifically the Brain & Behavior Foundation! Please do not feel pressured to make monetary donations, as even just liking the video and sharing it to others will be great! 100% of every dollar donated for research is invested in their research grants, which funds the most innovative ideas in neuroscience and psychiatry to better understand the causes and develop new ways to treat brain and behavior disorders. These illnesses include depression, ADHD, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, autism, bipolar disorder, and more. Please check out our link below to learn more about The Brain & Behavior foundation!

My new friend Mary has suffered from depression and she is a new student at my school. She told me that she got out of the hospital(not the type of hospital that I thought it is, it's a mental hospital) and she's been there because she's suicidal. She told me that she is a vegetarian and I see that she doesn't have a problem with her appetite(perhaps at home. I didn't tell her that what causes it because of obvious reasons.
I have developed a crush on her because she is beautiful and she is struggling with the tyranny of her depression and she's a very unique girl, but I found out that she has a love relationship with a girl who has a bad past life and so as Mary(Mary is Genderqueer. She told all of us that she has to change her personality multiple times, she tried killing herself in various ways, and that we are the only distinctive people in Middle school trying to survive until we Graduate in High school. I am going through a process of emotional loss because I felt the pain of mine that I have feelings for her and I can't hold it in and that I sense the pain of Mary and her lover of why they are meant to be each other. I cried because I was thinking of my loss while listening to Elton John(she recognizes 10 out of 17 songs on my Diamonds CD.

It really is sad how people who don't go through this assume you're just emo and cry over everything.
I personally don't have depression and probably am not the type of person to get it, but ya never know. I do know a lot about what it's like though, from these videos and I have a few friends with serious mental health issues like severe depression and anxiety. From what I know, it's like you build an invisible jail cell around yourself, and when you finally see that jail, it's too late; you have the key but every single time you try and use it the demons drop to their knees and BEG YOU TO JUST GET BACK IN, GET BACK IN AND STAY WITH THEM! They won't LEAVE until one day, some MIRACLE, maybe a friend, maybe just you being tough, maybe just plain MIRACLE, THEY GET DRAGGED BACK AND HELD LONG ENOUGH FOR YOU TO RUN. But then they chase you and keep chasing and chasing and it can take YEARS if not a LIFETIME for them to FINALLY GIVE UP!
I swear this all comes from my knowledge gained by listening to my friends and observing and understanding their feelings. I must have some kind of heightened empathy; D;

Nowadays I can't even tell if I have depression, even with help and videos.
I would say I do, but people would always demand for proof from a doctor. I'm not taken seriously in a proper, logical way. (Don't trust school Counselors with suicidal thoughts) I'm always dismissed and feel isolated.
It's just sad how being in the furry fandom can only make you feel worse than you already are when you have views and mentality that don't match theirs. I literally feel isolated and alone in that fandom, which is why I'm in a limbo about being a furry. I literally felt suicidal and paranoid in that fandom. I hate it.
The so called depression always hits me, then leaves, then comes back again, especially after an anxious episode.

Sometimes I feel guilty for being the way I am. My family always say things that make me want to suppress my feelings even further causing me to cry either in bathroom stalls or in the hallways when Im supposed to be at lunch. Ive tried to harm myself in the past but have been caught by one of my friends. A lot of the times I feel like being this way is burdening to my family and cause them to worry. I have been told that what i have pains them which only makes me break down. I dont try to feel this way and Im trying to get help but of course, its very difficult.
reply

Counseling, a psychologist a kids help line or adult help line are available and friends and family are here to support you because you depressed people bottle up your problems its no secret lots of us have been there, so all of us know what all of us are talking about because of real life experience you depressed people don't have. Share your problems and don't be in fear because what you are going through is normal and is nothing new to the world, all of us have been there and are waiting to help you depressed people. Bless Hashem forever.

At first, I kept telling myself to stop, and that I was just doing it for attention. However, one day it just clicked. I realized there had been times where I pictured what my friends would be like if I was dead. I would cut myself blame it on attention seeking. It wasnt something I did all the time, so I thought I wasnt actually doing it because I was depressed. But what normal person would cut and beat themselves up?
Can you make a video about how to tell if you are faking a mental illness for attention?

Number 6 hit me hard. I also feel like I have depression and for me, I don't want to cause others pain but when I get to be angry because of someone, I usually cause as much pain for them as possible so they will regret it but it wasn't enough. But I feel much better now as this problem was fixed but my biggest problem is that I am stressing too much on my parents reaction on my grades. (I will get it in 2 days and I feel they won't be happy about it because I wanna be more focused on my dream)

My friend online has depression and he keeps running to me about it. Yes I do really want to help and I'm open to talk about it but he barely ever bothers to talk to his parents or anyone else about it and I feel like a lot of weight is just being thrown onto me. He keeps reminding me how he cried all day in the bathroom or going into detail how he cuts or has the urge to cut himself. It's really scary and I want to tell him to stop without coming off as mean or uncaring.

I have depression
No one knows.
None of my friends know.
None of my family members know.
None of my teachers know.
When I was 11 I tried to commit suicide.
It was unsuccessful.
Its been over 2 years.
No one still knows.
Im self diagnosed but its obvious.
I put on a fake smile everywhere I go.
Im not bullied.
But Im self conscious.
Im happy Im still alive.
I just want my pain and misery to end.

All if these are me. It's hard fir mw to explain to others, and they asj Why are you depressed? I dont know! And if I did, I'd be to scared to tell you, afraid you'd run away or start more drama. You got yourself into it, you can get out. A boy said to me once. My response
Me: people like me, don't ask for depression nor did we want it. And your talking right now, hurts me and others.
Yet it hurts cause I feel selfish to say that.

reply

My mom is toxic and my dad always wants and gets reasons for why things are happening. So what's the point in asking what's wrong if he gets angry everytime I say I dont know. Like two of my sisters went through the exact same problems as I am now. We've all been to a therapist but nothing has changed. I've just learned to stay quiet and try to avoid the topic.
reply

Hey guys can you tell me if you think I have depression. I always downgrade my self thinking I'm not worth it or I'm bad at something. I cry almost everyday for no reason. I'm always sad and I'm never happy. I get mad very easily. I forget alot of stuff. And I always have thoughts In my head and I think I have depression. So tell me if you think I got depression
reply

Here it Goes!
1. It's not as simple as Eating Healthier
2. It's not always easy to understand why things are this way
3. It's not your fault
4. It's not that we are not trying hard enough
5. We can't just snap out off it
6. We don't want to Hurt others
7. We feel like a Burden
8. We truly appreciate your efforts

reply

Omg just saying- NEVER tell someone whos depressed and/or suicidal that they're so loved, and should be so grateful, and have a loving family, friends, beautiful house all that stuff cuz, speaking from personal experience, were already so guilty and sad, and we know these things. Itll just make it worse and us more guilty. don't do it
reply

As like a big black dog, origin from Odin's hound. It is always with you, you can pet it and keep it friendly but it also bites the hand that feeds it. For me when that happens I take the hound out for a walk around the block for a day.
I tried fighting it but instead of 24 hours it took 3 weeks. I have learnt to live with the dog.

reply

People ask me if Im depressed or think Im depressed because I have anxiety but Im really young and there is no way I have depression, I think, people tell me its something physical but I think is more mental and some just think Im faking it being sad and lonely to make people think Im depressed, and to that I say no
reply

I have a question. At what point does I'm here for you become ineffective? Ive been telling my friend that for a long time now and I'm not sure if it has the same effect now. She knows I'm here for her and that i care about her. So what else can I do/ say to help? And what should i definitely not do?
reply

Does anyone else have depression mostly on weekends? I feel like i can't be happy if i have to work and i can't be happy when the weekend starts. eventhough i really like my job. i have no motivation to to something eventhough i want to do so much at the same time
reply

My mom is like just stop being sad go out with your friends and i feel so frustrated that im trying hard to be better but i just i cant snap out of it and i know i need help but Im scared and i dont know how or what to do i just cant control the situation anymore
reply

Me: I'm (getting) very depressed.
Mom: Don't be.
My brain: wow, mom, u fuqqing cured me, Ms Ghandi!
Later on.
Me: u OK, mom?
Mom: I'm depressed.
Me: oh, sorry2 hear that.
My brain: what utter fuqqing hypocrisy is this?

reply

I think the only time that im truley happy is with my friends (or playing an amazing video game. The rest of the time im pretty much numb. I never feel alive. Ever. So i guess friendship IS magic. Or a really good distraction from the problem.
reply

Thank you! Also is there a cure for depression or am I going to have to live with it? I mean I am already used to it and trying my best to stop it but I dont know how to get treatment bc I struggle asking for help from my parents and others.
reply

Its not as easy as eating healthy and working out I told my mom I have depression and now shes making me go outside every day and making sure I eat certain foods, I understand shes trying to help but I get in trouble if I dont exercise at all. -.
reply
