I don't know if I do cause I'm never diagnosed, but it's just these past few months I keep having intrusive thoughts and although I have them from time to time they never affected me emotionally before (like words would come up in my head and triggered me to cry or act angrily on impulse. Now I'm easily agitated or sensitive in tears, I'm unsure to tell my parents because I don't even know what caused me to feel this way. They're both straight forward peoples so if I'm sad they would like to find a solution as fast as possible, but sometimes the results aren't always as I expected but I couldn't tell them that so I just agreed. I keep telling them chapters of what made me sad that specific day but I don't know why I'm unhappy in general but then laughing the next with guilt. Sometimes I want to talk to a friend but I don't want them to see me as faking it. I don't even have a close friend I trust to talk about this in details without the fear of judgment and ruining a school relationship when I barely had one. I don't even know what I want out of it I just want to go back to being in a happy normal state where I'm happy, healthy, active, and creative again.

I just feel like an attention seeker for even thinking I might have mental illness and I know that doesnt make sense but I just feel like Im broken and defective like everybody else my age is living their life to the fullest and Im here literally crying about not feeling normal and I cant just tell myself to stop and nobodys gonna get it. I feel like I dont deserve anything and thats just my fault honestly. It might just be self pity. Whenever somebody gives encouraging words I just default to thinking I dont deserve them. I just want to know whats wrong with me. I have no reason to think other people think of me badly like at all but I feel like all people deep inside feel like Im disgusting. I dont have depression and Ive never been diagnosed so when somebody tells me I might have it I just think Im not worthy of it?

Things that break people mentally:
''You're just trying to get attention''
''Back in my day, we had it way worse and we dealt with it better than you''
''Just stop being emo''
''Imagine being depressed lmao''
''Just stop being depresed''
''Happiness and Depression is a choice''
''Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger''
''Just deal with it''
This is what i've been told my entire life by everyone i know. I hate how everyone has to have a stigma to make depression look like not a big deal, it's a serious struggle that a lot of the population get, and i hate how trolls on the internet, parents, boomers/adults, etc. always do this because they don't understand.

I don't know why but sometimes I feel kind of bad for attention seekers. I always imagine why they would want all the attention in the first place
I used to have this toxic mindset in 3rd grade where if I didn't have any depression or mental illness then my problems didn't matter so I started to pretend to be edgy or just stereotypically depressed so that I can feel as if my problems were finally valid. Looking back it's definitely disrespectful and toxic but I wish I could've just told myself that it doesn't matter if I had a mental illness or not because it's still a problem at the end of the day. That behaviour led me into a spiraling never ending sadness and toxicity in my head

My high school life was nothing but downplaying my depression as attention seeking and acting like a baby.
Nobody from high school ever talks to me anymore and my depression is why. I not only feel frustrated but sad that people are taught to think that way. My family doesn't even take my depression seriously either. And all that shit was manifested from a childhood of abuse, neglect, bullying and not having my achievements validated. At this point i just want to do the deed to escape this hell that is Planet Earth because i truly live in the darkest timeline.

Parents dont realise this, but them saying we had it tougher when we were young actually makes things worse, not better. It makes us feel like we should be absolutely fine even though we arent, and that our struggles are less important just because we have access to therapy. My parents wont let me get diagnosed with depression, ADHD or anything like that, because I got tested for Autism, what, 4 years ago, and it will make us seem needy or attention seeking so I cant even get proper help. Sorry for venting btw, I just thought I should share my experience

I might have depression, half of the steps are true, but some steps are like no I didn't got that thing. And yes, I hate it when people are faking depression because they're just trying to act So LoNeLy and DePrEsSeD and stuff like that, also faking depression was still a thing, I kept founding videos on tiktok of people saying iM dEpReSsEd and stuff like that, and this happens so often when I find videos like this, and also, you will get accused that most people will say you're faking it and stuff like that, and yeah.

okay, it doesn't matter weather the person if faking it for attention or actually has it, if they have it, they need help and even if they are doing it for attention, they STILL need help, people who were often ignored or neglected by others are usually the ones seeking attention. The term attention seeker is considered bad and attention seekers are considered annoying but in reality, they are just tried of being treated as invisible, so even if a person is faking a mental illness for attention, they STILL need help.

When I was in 7th grade the school sent an email to all the parents about an upcoming SOS (signs of suicide) presentation. The night before, my mom asked me if I had been feeling suicidal and/or depressed. Obviously, I said no, thinking that would be that, but no. Good, you have no reason to be depressed, you have a loving family. Ive been in a downwards spiral since the end of 6th grade, and Im about to start high school. Shut the hell up.

What if its me who Im trying to figure out? I feel many symptoms of depression, not all of them, but figure I dont have anything to be depressed about. And on this video Id say I only coincide with 2 out of the 4 things so am I faking it?
Btw I tried going to a psychologist, but the test she applied I could see the depression a mile away, am I just faking answers I know will rank me as depressed?

Nobody should joke about suicide.
Tbh, I used to think about suicide because I thought I was never good enough, Ive been having problems, and involved in drama. I really thought that if I passed away, people would stop the conflict, but it devastates loved ones and its a huge sin. I used to say things before, but its like a cry for help.
People are always here to support you. Stay strong.

For me, I cant tell if Im depressed or not no matter how many videos I watch, or sites I look at. Ive always had people telling me that my emotions are just mood swings as a teen. Ive been struggling with my close friends recently because I tend to make them feel like quack. And now Im just going on, I dont know why Im making this comment but yeah. .

The very last thing I want is to be noticed. When one gets attention from others, they are putting their selves in danger. I want to stay anonymous and unnoticed. I need to stay anonymous and unnoticed. It assures my safety from social predators. Life is not what it was fifteen years ago. Anonymity is safety. Being social is very dangerous.

Hey guys, life sucks, and im depressed, okay? I wanna die and i stab myself with glass 3 times a week, its pretty much become routine now, so now i'm gonna go die in a hole because everyone in this world hates me, and i will not listen to your comforting words or actions, because you actually hate me, even though you've cared for me many times

I just thought to myself, I want to go home while I am in my house. With this thought came a late revelation. Home is not a house. Home is a feeling of being safe, happy, and comforted. It's a feeling I haven't had for months, even years, and I have really begun to miss it. With depression, I have really lost my home such a long time ago.

Right now I'm watching so many videos on depression cause I'm diagnosed but I feel like I'm faking and I don't wanna fake. But I feel like personally I'm both. I will lie for attention(I'm trying to break the habit) but I also have depression(I think. Hopefully I'm not faking) but it's possible to do/have both

Imagine not being able of telling people how youre feeling cause youre afraid theyll think youre just seeking for attention.
Or worse, imagine YOU think that youre seeking for attention for feeling depressed and hate yourself for doing it, even though you dont even understand fully why youre depressed.

I keep posting about what I feel as I only thought it helps me to let out of it until my friend thought I was seeking for attention and pretending to be sad. (I'm also too tired to get ignored when I cry for help)
Just. Why would I have to pretend that I'm depressed?

As someone who use to suffer from depression and anxiety attacks a lot I do get really mad when someone fakes depression cause you can tell it is obvious that they are faking. But if someone truly has depression then just remember your not alone.
