I'm seriously depressed right now and I think the hardest thing about it for me is how unexpected my depression can be. One minute I'm fine; happy and smiling and laughing, and the next minute all I want to do is curl up in a corner and scream. it gets so hard trying to explain to people that even though I was just fine earlier, I'm not fine right now. I guess I just wish that more people would be willing to really listen, and to also accept that I'm doing the best I can so if they try to push me any harder I'll fall apart. Depression is so difficult because I feel like I have to keep explaining and justifying myself, so at this point I usually just keep quiet because sometimes it feels easier to suffer in silence than to deal with questions and judgement. To anybody else struggling with depression, I understand; I understand how it feels like nobody could ever understand and that feeling of not wanting to express your feelings because you fear you'll be a burden to others. I struggle with that too. Just know that it's ok to not be ok, and that not being everything for everyone all the time doesn't mean you're failing somehow. Ok, done rambling now, just felt like I had to say that so yeah.

Every single time
As soon as any video on depression ends, i have all ready related to every single symptom
I dont even know at this point
I dont want to self diagnose myself with something serious, but it seems a lot like i have this
Im a kid, meaning I live with my parents.
I act happy and cheerful around everyone until Im alone.
Life feels empty, slow, hopeless, disappointing, and lonely
I can never relate to a time where there was actual genuine happiness continuing for long periods, i was always bullied out of it.
Im a people pleaser too, making this worse as i get taken advantage of a lot.
My cat just died two months ago because he ran away, and its winter.
Up here in Michigan, winter is cold and barren.
My mental health isnt the greatest as in every argument or fight my friends have, Im the messenger.
I feel like a robot doing tasks for everyone around me. Seen only as a brain.
Edit: was that too much? Sorry! Im really sorry for saying this, I havent told anyone this in months and i had to get it out!

I been suffering for loneliness and depression since summer of 2019 and I really don't know what to do with myself currently. I do have friends and family's like most people out there do, but something special is really missing for me in my life and I really don't know what it is for me. That last special puzzle piece is really missing for me out their and its important. Trying to figure out what it means.
it feels like something is truly missing for me that I have not yet experience. I really haven't found that special something for me yet out there and Its really hard to find that special piece for me. Its really hard to find that last puzzle piece. I been thinking about that too much. It feels like I'm about to lose to my depression and my loneliness who can't find that last piece to the puzzle. I wasn't feeling like myself for a few months now. It feels like I'm being defeated who can't win. I'm worthless.

how are you at fault
I can think of a few. It was my actions that lead me to social isolation. no matter how I felt at the time, it was me who took the operative steps in isolating myself.
It was my actions that lead to the chemical imbalance. be that a dependency on caffeine or alcohol, or a chronic choice to deprive myself of sleep.
finally it is my fault for continuing to allow these issues to persist.
I don't see how depression (if not genetic, or environmental) could be anyone/anything else's fault but mine. that's what makes this shit so hard is there's nothing to blame but myself.
edit: wanna make it clear, everything else in the video was insightful. but for some reason that part struck a nerve in me.

Depression is tricky. It can be a part of living. It shows up unexpectedly. My body is sad an I feel warm. I try to know my depression- take it with me to the park. Some days, it dissappeears. Other days i wake with a dread, and feel stuck. Who do i tell? I think i could cry- buyout, i hold it in. I was depressed in my teens. It left. I was depressed in my 20, 30, 40. It comes & goes. Today, i try to be gentle with me- and, treat my depression like the flu- take it easy. My sisters use to criticize me for crying. Now i don't talk to them. ut, some days the sadness is deep, i feel very young, like a 3 mar old. And, i feel lost. I am very responsible, creative and kind. How did i get this depression.

Depression. It is pretty much very your fault. And it's amazing! How you understand and transcript the world around you, how you answer to yourself when you ask questions, what do you do throughout the day, who are your authorities, how you choose those who you respect, what do you do to get out of rut. No, you're not bad or something. Yeah, these things form in you by external factors, but none, but you, restrict you from self-determination. You're stronger and more capable than you think about yourself! If it is matter for you, know, that a random guy from the Internet believes in you and share your pain and confusion. Actually, there are thousands of us.

Depression doesn't define who you are.
Well I hate to break it to you but I've had classmates tell me I look depressed and you bet I am. I draw gorey, disturbing vent art 24/7, I don't remember the last time I ate, I have to stand up twice because the first time I about fall over, I hit desks when they hit my left thigh, and the list goes on. But don't worry, I'm not struggling with depression; he pays his rent in interesting character arc ideas and the occassionaly swaggy dark joke, no matter how intrusive and annoyingly persistent he is. So to say, I'm not struggling with depression. I'm absolutely rocking it.

My favorite grandma lives in Texas and she flew out here to see me and my mom. Today was the day she flew back. Today and as I got in the car (this was my last time seeing her before she went to the airport) I started crying my eyes out and Ive been crying since I got home and I keep seeing things that remind me of her like the glass of water she gave me or the deflated air mattress or the pen she left and the pillow she slept on, just keep making me cry and I cant stop! Im so lucky i didnt go to school today (it is winter break)

But I still wanna kill myself im nothing but garbage.

Given how common depression is, is it a mental illness? Or is it a part of human nature especially combined with 1st world life styles? I believe the most common cause for depression ( outside of bereavement) is loneliness, in which case it's reactive. I believe when depressed people get sent to some kind of group activity as treatment, they feel better not because of the activity in itself, but because they don't feel so alone anymore. in my opinion.

Man I hate when people say Seek professional help and It gets better. I've been depressed for several years now and I've spoken to more doctors than I can count but nothing helps.
There is no help to get, no pills can fix me and I'm starting to believe that it's all BS. I've tried to commit suicide once but I failed, just like everything else I do in life.
Why can't people just accept that some of us thinks life is just not worth living?

I've been so depressed lately and felt so alone and like it was all my fault but you made me feel so much better that I can't leave this video without give a thank you. So I thank you for being so awesome and doing this for alot of people who need help.

man that statement of feeling alone is so true. both literally and figuratively for me. i like to have not many friends, why i have 2 friends i consider friend friends, because i dont want to talk to too many people, and i like alone time. then i hate being alone. its so weird and sucks. im always in this limbo state of being too alone and wanting to be alone.

Hey, I rarely comment something because most of the times when I come to see videos about this topic I feel like nothing matters. I just wanted to feel like someone understands me and feel kinda huged by your videos.
Your videos helped me to seek for professional help (I saw I had symptoms) and yeah, well just thank you for your content

Depression can absolutely be your fault. If you make poor life decisions or cultivate a bad attitude it will make you depressed. Also it does not always need to be treated before it gets better. It can just go away on its own or after changing the way you live. You should never rule out seeing a professional though.

I don't know if I have it, but I highly doubt it. Something traumatizing happened to me two weeks ago and I can't still heal from it. I'm not just sad but I'm very unmotivated and everytime I'm reminding myself that living isn't worth it and I hate myself. I hate everything, everyone and myself.

It's not just stigma, it is also the fact that professional help cost a boat load of money, and, at least in the US, may not be covered by health insurance as many mental health providers do not accept insurance because they do not get paid enough by insurance companies for their services.

Highly treatable? I've had it for years and years I'm 48 and I'm going through another bad down time. I've tried all the tablets going from my gp, cbt, counseling, fresh air, gardening, baking, etc yet here I am wishing I was dead again.

I have to admit that I am one of the ones that has not responded well to standard depression treatment. It wasn't until I really began to uncover the core wounds of family trauma and abuse that I began to dream a life for myself.
