Stop preaching. You don't get to say whether someone else's mere existence is meaningful or not. Yes, people with depresssion often feel this way. I've spent my entire life chasing the great or nothing concept and have now completely fallen apart because the past few years have made clear that greatness is impossible. But the thing that really makes me despair that makes everything a million times worse is that no one can accept the fact that this devastates me and just sit with my pain. If you are such experts on depression, you should know that most of us have had a lifetime of being invalidated. Saying the way we feel or our values and world view are just inherently wrong is absolutely the worst thing someone can do. How dare you think you are helping depressed people by telling them how to feel and what to believe and value? Why can't you just stick to facts and say many people with depression see the world this way. When you said that, it actually made me feel better because I didn't feel alone. Why do you have follow it with, but this feeling/belief is wrong?

okay but can we talk about how everyone is like trying to one-up everyone about their depression/mental illness/abuse like its some type of competition? so many people at my school are comparing their experience and being like oh well mines worse because or that's nothing, this is what I've been through and its honestly really harmful when me or other people try to vent to them- not only that, when people vent they like don't care or celebrate for their troubles? like this girl I vented to was like HAHAHHA! Welcome to the mentally ill party! and that was like so off putting and it made me uncomfortable. i don't think they should congradulate people for wanted to off themself? and they also encourage people to harm themselves too?
also by everyone I don't mean everyone in the comments, just my experience online/at school.

The truth i'm tired with depression (and insecure) especially if i'm thinking about my self, full of doubt.
Sometimes i'm thinking to never has a feeling so i wouldn't have depression. Because each time i'm depressed i will angry to other people without a reason or can't control my emotional, and i'm lost few of my friends because i can't control myself, altough they know i depressed and stressed, maybe they tired with me who never has improvement (i'm trying to fix it but in the end right now i'm feeling tired and just do a sleep or distract myself than Angry at other people, well it's a improvement i guess)
I want like other people who never feel depressed or they rarely have that feeling, i want to feel positivity everyday without self-doubt

I used to think that I didn't need help but after listening to a couple of your videos and doing some research it just feels like I've been stuck on depression but just calling it normal. It's so weird to hear you describe the hopelessness and spending money on things to distract yourself and the eating habits. Random bouts of Insomnia thinking about life and death and just feeling more and more alone because I don't want to talk to friends about it. yeah man I think maybe i am depressed.

I've done all of these, and more, for two decades now. I have had depression for so long, I don't know what life would be like without those things. Like, are there really people who don't obsess over death, when we are all in the danger of dying every day? How can they not worry about it? I've been on death's doorstep and it's nothing I'll soon forget. If people knew how serious, and fragile, life is, they would be so devil-may-care with others', or their own, lives.

I felt that I want to be great or nothing. For years I've wanted to be great in being creative by filming. I feel without being creative and filming then what's my purpose in life, but I have little to achieve those goals because of my fears and depression that keeps me back. Then I think about all the time I wasted and I spiral into my thoughts, it's a vicious cycle that no one should go through.

I was treating my depression for some time and after a while I thought that depression won't be bothering me anymore. But once again she crawled on me, when I wasn't expecting it. After another psychotic episode I realized that something is wrong. I don't usually feel that deep pain and hopelessness. That is a relief for me. Because I was legitimately feeling like I'm going crazy or something.

Im trying to motivate myself to get up and workout to boost my confidence. So far I haven't touched alcohol for 3 days, but it's so hard to get up from bed and going out there. I'm eating less than I would. I used to eat alot, but now I can only eat small portions or not eating at all. I've lost eight going from 196 to 185 pounds.

Tbh I think I've started to bottle up my emotions and just nod or shrug off whatever it is that's being said instead of throwing a fit even if my mind's ready to go on a rampage. It's like I'm holding myself back from expressing my true feelings and am a stranger in my own mind. It's like I've started to embrace silence.

Huh, in Singapore, its more like the professionals are trying to suppress people with mental health issues than provide helps and supports. Even when people suggested me to go to IMH, they also suggested me to lie about something to protect myself from their suppression. So I just wont go there at all.

I buy too much Winx Club merchandise because Winx Club is one of the few things I still find enjoyable; -; and everything else is relatable too. I've been diagnosed with depression for 8 years now but have been struggling with it for 12 years.

I want to be great or nothing. - Amy March
This is what keeps me going and dreams of the future, although the future seems out of reach. My dreams seem impossible so all I can do is chase and run and keep going after my futile dreams.

I was usually ok with money - not great but I could control my spending. But for the past couple of years, I have a really hard time stopping myself from impulse buying and overspending! I didnt realize this had to do with depression!

My teacher noticed I never asked for help when I clearly needed it and told me shed help me and to not be afraid. Well I asked for help and she yelled at me for wasting her time. I will never ask for help again and nothing will change that

Food For Thought: Thats the thing about depression: A human being can survive almost anything, as long as he/she sees the end in sight. But depression is so insidious, and it compounds daily, that its impossible to ever see the end.

Thank You all at Psych2G0. My life appears to have been in a depressed state for so long that my depression has an uncanny ability to be involved in my life as closely related as the autonomic nervous system.
