I think i had this around eh. middle school, when i lost my friends and i began to hide, i was just 10 years old and i had so many problems inside my head but just kept on thinking, keep going, you're the rock of everyone, i'll be the one to take on all the pain and die with it.
And i guess during the rest of my life i also had major depression but finally im kinda better, it feels like i improved a little bit, saddly my anxiety kicks in every holidays or every time i have free days.
That's also why for everyone else that is suffering it or has suffered HFD i just hope that you can talk it out with someone, not just keep on killing yourself with all your thoughts and yes it's hard to believe that someone else can help you out but it's a matter of listening and not always solving or maybe by listening it might solve, who knows. i love you all, please stay safe

10 years now. reacted early and started treatment after a few weeks. after many years of 5 different psychiatrists, 10 therapists, 20 different medications, months in psych clinics i can now proudly say that i have never felt worse than now. last time i felt some kind of happiness was back in high school. brushing my teeth, changing clothes and doing laundry is hard, grocery shopping, cleaning my flat or thinking about looking for a job impossible. tough to keep up hope when your hfd is combined with ocd, anxiety, panic attacks and the most unbearable thing of all -> somatic symptom disorder! everyday i wish for a broken leg, the flue or sth else where i could just complain in a socially accepted fashion. life sucks but you can't end it because there are people out there who care for you deeply and would be devastated. feels like there is no escape

NARSHAD: HFD ( HDFC ) high functioning depression is only applicable for high performing jobs ( apparently! . Almost everyone who requires another professional certification in addition to their education. This is a dangerous way to make a separate classification of depression targeting only those professions. Therefore, if these people are suffering from anorexia ( eating disorder due to watching too much movies ) they are treated separately. Repeated attempts have been staged to include depression into POP culture. As one might notice all these Showbiz people have done so much already, now these professional set of people are being brought into to popularise this as if a sweet candy is all that is required

My dad has been chronically depressed for almost 30 years. He never broke down, always worked diligently. Now with 62 he finally got help. Meanwhile I suffered from burnout at age 24 and have been dealing with clinical depression ever since. Its gotten significantly better! But I can see a fair amount of those HFD signs in my family. Doing all kinds of creative things is a huge refuge for me and Ive been trying to help my father getting into lighthearted creative hobbies as well. He started to bake last year - he only does one recipe and perfected it

Sometimes, I don't think my depression is real. Nor is my happiness. I say, I'm fine, or I'm happy, sooo much to the point where idk if I'm actually happy (even if it's a situation where I should be happy) or actually depressed or actually anything really. Idk if it's real or if it's in my head. Yet I have marks on my arms from the constant self harm everyday. So idk, lol.

In secret, I've been suffering in silence for 11 years. I focus on working and honing my skills but I can't shake this feeling. I have plans that I can't act on just yet but that only allows me more time to plan and prepare. In my case, I did this to myself. At the time I felt it was the best action to protect my loved one. Now I realize Ive merely failed her.

I tick like 5/10 boxes but I've never felt different abled at all. I don't feel empty or down on myself in any capacity. Mistakes make me want to improve. I dwell on them so that I can be better, not because I can't get past them. So if I do have HFD, it'll likely never be diagnosed because of my innately positive mindset.

I always used to feel depressed and empty and just upset, but thought I wasnt, because I never acted like it in public, and was very happy and acted normal with my friends cuz I was! But when I was alone and un occupied, I would just remember how empty I was, and just sit in my room and tear up. Still not sure what it is tho

I have friend who have went through some really hard stuff- shes depressed and suicidal. She is planning to kill herself and I dont know what to do. I cant tell her mom because of personal problems that will probably make her wanna kill herself faster-
Id regret it for the rest of my life if she kills herself.

it's so weird. i feel like some of these symptoms are the same as the ones i have but then also not. but i don't have the usual symptoms of a normal depression. i can't figure out what actually is wrong with me. i just know how i feel, but that's it. i just wanna know to understand better

I think this may have been what Cheslie Kryst was struggling with. She was so inspiring when I saw her win Miss USA. Reaching into that position as a woman of colour, fully embracing her features. An attorney, an she worked for extra. I thought she was so inspiring.

When I was a teen, I developed it silently. it burst out in 2008, medication, therapy for a LOOOOOONG time, 15 years later I'm back to HFD. It's my genetic burden. I handle it just fine, but fatigue and the sense of no meaning haunt you, always.

I feel I may have been dealing with this for about 5 or 6 years now, my teenage years are a blur of emptiness and apathy, Ive tried so hard to fix myself but have gotten nowhere. Its actually been getting harder to make it through each day.

in a way this pisses me off but at the same time it makes perfect sense, i have recently been diagnosed with dysthymia and it seems its been there for about 4 or 5 years. the more i look into it the more things start to make sense.

I was feeling pretty well, until I called 911 (our equivalent) at 5am in the morning because I internally debated ways to kill myself.
I will be going to therapy but please stop hitting me in the face with these videos

In all likelihood I have HFD, I haven't been diagnosed yet. At this point I don't recall a time when I didn't have it. Maybe as a child but from teenage on I haven't had a day where I wasn't at least slightly depressed.

This isn't so much a list of signs you might have hfd as much as a fun fact list about hfd. For example: a sign you might have hfd is the possibility that you actually have burnout. Yeah. Not much help.

Also, things that feel obligatory are different for everyone. For me going out sometimes is obligatory. Throwing a birthday party is. Those are still kind of nice, but also incredibly overwhelming.
