Me and my GF been together for 10 years and the last year I noticed that she was pushing me away and she changed, I instantly started thinking she was cheating on me, I used to pick fights with her, until recently she told me shes always sad, feels so not loved she feels worthless and I immediately thought of everything and put two and two together and knew she was suffering from depression Thanks for these videos Im able to cheer her up a little bit sometimes my next step is gonna be trying to get her to see a therapists. I love my GF so much and Im never gonna leave her side, I was closed of dumping her because I didnt know what the symptoms or signs from depression were. Thank god i didnt because she needs me more know then she ever did. I just hope im able to smile and laugh like I used to with my Cynthia again

i have had depression for years now i feel like im alright one day only to find myself in a depressive episode later down the day, i tried telling my parents im having these episodes all my Dad said was think of the money we are gonna have to spend for all of that i dont feel loved in my life the only friends i had are now abroad and the only way i can reach them is through discord and i thought of running away from my house more than at least 5 or 6 times it sucks to not have that someone to hold you and tell you taht its ok and you'l be ok feels like you got nothing and no one by your side and it slowly starts feeling like youd be better off giving your chance at life to someone else

Hello you all here are some tips
Note: this can only help them to not be embarrassed when they are crying
1. Try to not mention it
2. Try not to judge them when they are crying
3. Ask them what was wrong after they stop crying and are feeling better
4. If all of these are not working try to tell them to ignore it what ever is happening to them
5. Try to stay with them often but don't act sus and they might think you are doing it only because they are crying
I have experienced crying before I am just listing what helps me and might help others I mean who hasn't cried before? Please don't feel offended its ok.

I'm someone with depression. I've been battling with depression for like 7 years. I want to be loved by someone. I wanna feel like someone cares about me, understands me. I just want someone to save me from falling. but I'm trapped between loving someone else and loving myself. that person doesn't even care about me anymore. but it's so hard to let go. this makes me more depressed and I feel like it's getting harder and harder even to breathe. I'm so tired. someone please save me. I can't die. but I'm so tired

Why is it bad to ask someone why? Not why? you have no reason to be feeling this way but rather Why, do you feel this way? in hopes of finding the cause to help your loved one on the track of improvement. I think that to overcome depression and whatever struggle to are going through there needs to be self reflection and soul searching. So I am curious as to why I should avoid asking for their reasons.

im 13 and my mom had depression since my childhood, i always felt like i was a big burden ):
i began doing things like make notes of what she ate for breakfast and make it for her before she woke up or went to work i also tell her I love you mom when i see her!
pls tell me if i can do more for her even when i have school i love her alot, and i know a child is a big burden sometimes ):

remember that you're not responsible for the mental health of your friends. If one of your friends has been suffering from depression from a long time and they dont even wanna go to therapy, and they're making YOU feel down, that's toxic. You are NOT responsible for their well-being and you shouldn't feel guilty if you need to step away from them because they're making you miserable.

Bro idk what to do like I only got 7 days to convince my friend not to kill himself like if I tell his dad he will try to send him somewhere to help his mental state which will make him feel worse and yeah it will help but that will cause him to do it more early and I'm the only real friend he has and he feels like the world besides me doesn't like him or doesn't care about him!

I struggle with this - my support network is (for various reasons) scattered across the country (and Malaysia, in one case. It's difficult without a small cadre of local friends. If you are lucky enough to have that (depression or not, hold on to it: it's worth more than gold, titanium, platinum, chicken nuggets. good friends are THE SHIT. And sometimes they buy you nuggets.

I have a friend, 2 yrs older thn me (19) who suffers from depression because of her choice in college and her strict parents. I feel so useless seeing her posts about what she's feeling. I'm trying my best to make her feel better but I'm not good and my social skills r poor. we've been friends online for 2-3 months now. I feel like a horrible friend.

As someone who has had depression and has had suicidal thoughts, remember that the worst thing you could say to someone in that situation is that theyre being selfish. Ive never understood media normalizing telling suicidal people that its a selfish thing to kill yourself, because well, obviously, youre not selfish for having mental health problems.

I have a friend who came to school today with cuts on her legs and wrists, she told me it was from her cat, but i knew she was lying, i hope this will help me save one of the few people that were there for me. I swore an oath to keep her safe and i will do everything in my power to help her, i just don't want to lose such a great friend
reply

I'm not really the best at expressing emotions and for the first time I've been exposed to someone with depression who i genuinely care about. It's really hard for me to show people care and love no matter how much i do love them. Still, I'll try whatever it takes to atleast let them know they have a shoulder to rely on. thank you
reply

I just lost my friend because that!
I always listen when he talk about how he feel, he was my buddy. every night at work I ask him how he was doing. The last 2 nights I didn't ask him how he was doing, cuse I left work early,
Now I regret not telling him some of this words maybe I would have saved his life R. I. P my friend.

Do you know anyone that deals with depression or are you someone who suffers depression? Dont worry you arent alone, over more than 16 million people in this world has depression and doesnt know it making it the lead cause to mental illnesses. I hope this video will help you or someone close to you

reply

I have been friends with this one person for maybe about 1-9) Years now. she is currently suffering frim depression and I would REALLY love to help her. I want to know her pain so I could understand and help her, I hope she heals soon.
reply

Woah, I thought I was missing something about my ways of helping to deppressed people and apparently not, even though, I want to make sure that I'm able to help anyone I can the best way, so I'll keep on looking for advices and opinions
reply

Im sad that nobody has said any of this to me (other than i matter) yet i dont really believe them
But they probably dont even know what to say other than Same
I dont even care they havent though, its not their fault

reply

But i hate it when people compliment me because i dont do the same for them
I've been thinking I might be a psychopath. It might seem crazy but I cant distinguish depression from psychopathy right now

reply

Medication yes but for no longer than 90 days before a major reassessment is required. Diet is the most under rated affect on a patient. Look at your diet before making a commitment beyond 90 days with meds.
reply

I'm watching this video while suffering right now from depression. Because no one understands what I am going through. They invalidate my feelings and actions, they said that You're crazy SPED
