To be honest I know what is difference between depression and sadness. I have been through both there was no one who changed It but was my self.
When I think I don't deserve to live my mind said if you don't then why are you living. When I think I should suicide than I thought why waste only one chance to explore world and thing in it. When I thought I trapped in darkness then I remembered there is always light in the end of tunnel. When I thought I don't have any hope than I tried to make new hope. When I said I am useless then I thought why not try something useful. When I thought everyone hates me then I said that just my thoughts then I realized that i might be checking books by there cover.
Here I is not me but a character of my story hope that it helps you.

Watches and want's to cry.
It was reassuring seeing that not only does on not mean bing sad (which I already knew, but that some people with it don't even feel sad at all. I have been wondering in the back of my head if I was falsely diagnosed, because I have been feeling ok most of the time as far as sadness goes, even happy. But my main thing is having near zero motivation and being insecure. Sometimes I hate myself too, but not all the time, so the fact it's not all the time was also a reason I would still question some times if I really have it.
Having a diagnosis feels like a protection to me, because it let's me know that my struggles are valid and that I am not just being lazy. It's hard to fight a problem if you don't know what it is.

DEPTH OF DEPRESSION
Sadder than sad
chained to disablement
blacker than black
killing all enablement
bluntness of bad things bore into our soul
heaviness of have-tos make existence more cold
cuttings of can't-dos only make it worse
searing of should-haves make ourselves be cursed
lethargy of must-dos confuse our grey matter
cursed relief of didn't-dos only feed the blighter
hurting more than pain
existence stratified again
no life with hope gone
no hope without birdsong
no birdsong without meaning
no meaning without feeling
no feeling without being.

I wish people, especially parents realized that the more you speak to someone like that, they are going to feel awful. If you constantly tell them bad things about themselves/ bring up past mistakes, maybe YOU need to wake up and grow up. No one will ever be perfect, but, if they are different from how they were as kids/ teens, let them know you noticed instead of rehashing past problems. Caused my depression as a teen, but I never got told how much better I became by the ones who caused it.

When I saw that the video said that depression doesnt have to have a reason I was relieved bc I pretty sure I have depression and when I came out to my friend that claims she is depressed and has depression she asked me the reason why and I told her that I didnt have a specific reason but she kept saying that oh then you dont have depression ect. This video helped me realise a lot of things about depression and so maybe I can come out to my parents soon about it

Thank you for this video! I recently was diagnosed with depression, along with other things, so I've been trying to learn more about it lately. I plan on talking to one of the campus counselors once classes are back in session for me. It's nice to know that it IS possible to treat depression. It may only seem like a small light to me right now, but that small light at least gives me some hope that things will improve: )

I had a friend who we thought had depression and we used to help him. But he took advantage of it and was just imitating all along. He did that to us when i was in 9th grade. We(me and my other friends)used to help him so much but after that we were pretty much done.
He used to supress other people people by telling things to demotivate them. He used to pretend as if he was in depression or something, i feel bad.

HOLDING PIECES
I cannot stand it much more
living is too sore
everyday within me is a war
how can I keep me together much more?
I am in fragments held tight
will lose it if they take flight
hanging on with all my might
none care for me and my plight
makes me want to give up this fight
remember, life is my only right
who else needs me helped cling to life?

I love this video. Ive been told by friends (two of which are diagnosed) that I have a lot of signs of depression/anxiety/adhd and I take notice that I do. However I do not want to self diagnose myself but its going to get harder for me. I know there is something wrong with me. I know. I would ask my mom to get a test of some sort but she would turn me down. She has before.

So uh, I'm having a bit of a dilemma.
I feel like I'm still depressed, but I don't really know what I can do about it. I know it's something you have to treat but I feel like there's literally nothing I can do about it. I'm just gonna have to wait 2 years, patiently. No problem. Super easy thing to do. Awesome.

I love the part that you mentioned that not every treatment works for different people. I know my psychiatrist has at least eight pages of medication that did not work or stopped working for me after a while. Still debating the thought of seeing a counselor again, been a lot of changes thanks to the pandemic

im watching your videos because i have a teen that is high anxiety, with depression, and self harm. fortunately i didn't have these experiences in my childhood and early adulthood. I'm learning a lot and also discovering that a lot of the information is highly relatable. that's scary

I want to say I feel depressed. I think I have depression? But maybe I just dont? Maybe the suicidal thoughts mean nothing, and maybe Im just being dramatic but it just feels terrible saying I think I do because I dont and Im probably just being insensitive, oh well.

What if you want to ask for help, but you are afraid that people will think of you as an attention seeker? And then you feel like you would be wasting people's time and energy. And even when you do reach out, you constantly worry about people judging you.

Your videos are a part of my self care, if for no other reason than as a reminder I owe myself. I finally have a handle on my depression. It's taken literally decades. So thank you for being for others what I struggled to build for myself.

I am diagnosed with chronic depression. Problem is that I can not tell the difference between the so-called depression and the sulking and self pity my mother gave me such a hard time about while growing up.

I managed to beat my depression by removing negative people and things that bring my spirit down. I surround myself with things that makes my spirit happy and positive people. It cured it. :)
