Home became not a great as a place when I was maybe 9. School was neutral until 5th grade because my teacher sucked. 6th grade started great and I was happy with my new best friend, but me and my best friend got a new friends and some what became part of a big friend group. She slowly drifted from me to the other friend and that kinda made school on the worse side. Along with the friend group no one really talked to me and I often was pushing out of the circles we would get in. My parents didnt notice and certainly did the opposite of helping me, and they kinda roared me into being more introverted and no part of me was extroverted. I found it really hard to fit myself into a friend group and in a result I always felt lonely and gloomy. Just because I wanted to be with my best friend so much that I just went into the friend group and tried sticking to her to get in. Im not clingy but it was like she could carry me into it then I let go but slowly came out. Overall it was hard to be able to be happy and have a laugh with friend groups. It was hard because Everyone seemed like it had no effort but to me it was like crawling up a mountain while dragging a boulder up. Then boom, school made me want to cry too now. My only escape was horse back riding, because I was with something that somehow knew me and I didnt have to be social, or talk, and I could just be happy for once. Horses were better than every person I had ever knew. I just couldnt stay happy because people moved and were social and it was like I needed to be or I was just not happy. But the horses were always there and wouldnt run before me. they were always with me at the same pace I was and could speed up or slow down. It was different and yeah nothing is effortless, happiness doesnt just come to you but I had just chased it all my life and I was tired now. I found something that I had ran past and I realized that it was what could make me happy.

I don't really think anyone cares or will read my stuff here, not to mention an answer. But I've been wondering for years now whether I have had depression since I was still in kindergarten or not. coz at that time I would often cry at night without knowing why I felt so sad. So before I was 6, I had almost always sleeping problems, and got unbelievably sad as if there was a black hole in my body that emerges and eats up my soul. My mom would either hold me in her arms and tried to comfort me, or on other days she was pissed off and annoyed by my lament so that she screamed at me and threatened to beat me with a stick or to tie me up so that she can beat me. Anyway, I had that dilemma ONLY at night and until I was 6. During the day I behaved relatively normal - no symptoms as shown in the video. Only when I was already in elementary school, I could elaborate on my feelings, at least a bit better than at the age of 4-6. I still remember, when I was 9-10, I sometimes wished I was dead. Not that I wanted to commit suicide, but rather that I don't want to be in this world anymore, coz without me on earth it wouldn't make any difference. It wouldn't change anything. Strangely enough at that time I actually had everything in my life. a relatively caring family, lots of friends, good grades in school without much studying, no financial problems or anything else. However when I looked into my class I felt as if I don't belong there, or I still felt lonely. Until today I don't know why I felt this way. Could that be considered as depression as well?

Im honestly fed up of this.
More and more children are becoming depressed and su1c1dl, and it's not okay. More children and teenagers are becoming depressed, people just need a hug. Society is not helping first of all, people are judging from looks, bullying, homophobism, and way more! This makes people try to change their selves for others, which is not okay. school is a HUGE problem. Pupils are stressed out in school, and on top of that they have homework. Oh, and let's not forget tests. tests stress people out even more, pupils get anxious on what their parents will think, which is definetly NOT okay. More su1c1dl deaths are taking place, more than usual. Most people's safe place is now online, which shouldn't really be their only place. A lot of parents just say 'Their just lazy'. People have beauty standards, high Expectations in school, and there is a lot more reasons than just these. But I just want to say my message.
Don't give up. You are beautiful, don't be changing yourself for anyone. Don't commit su1c1de, people care about you. Don't overwork yourself, stay safe. Have a lovely morning/afternoon/evening/night.
I love you all

When I was about eight or nine, I started having anxiety, i bottled up my emotions and never told anyone about it until I kept having breakdowns, in I had all of these symtoms amd still do. I kept distancing myself from people, using escapeism as a way to cope, i would make excuses. I felt forced to do well in school, landong myself a lot of As and barely any Bs and I did what I was told. I would ve guilty for any praise I got. I felt alone. I felt sad. I suddenly lost motivation in everything i loved to do. I loved playing games, watching tv, drawing, taking the dogs out, I lost interest in everything. I stopped eating well, I only wanted to eat sugar to make me happy, it never helped. My parents got really worried and brought be to a counselor, she helped me find things to calm down and now I am kinda happier

I can relate to this topic of the video.
Story:
I was like 2nd-4th grade and all those years (4 yrs) I had horrible communication with other people, I was like not me
and also my slight anger issues and depression and trauma add up into the pot and got mixed up and as a result, I became sassy or like a person who is: bossy, very emotional, always shouting and other negative flaws that a person would have in life, and during that 4 yrs. people started to like be distant to me all the time, except my family ofc. Now the second I watched this video of urs, its like I am recalling my old memories and compare them to present me, and now I can tell how many mistakes of communication and other stuff I did back in the old times. Also your videos helped me a lot lately thank you for that!

This video very well describes me. I have been not feeling myself for many years now. I moved more than once when I was younger, dealing with pets passing away, one night seeing my dad be taken away by cops when younger, the tornadoes and severe weather in Wisconsin, my parents becoming divorced a few months before I turned 16, my mom moving to Missouri soon, bad things happening in my life, not being able to see my friends everyday, life at home, being bullied in school, people not liking me for who I am, and lastly not able to see my boyfriend who lives in New Jersey (but we text and face time when possible. Thank you for making these videos for us to understand what goes on in the world around us! Keep up the wonderful work, thanks Psych2Go!

Literally my parents and every condescending adult i've ever met: ''That's not depression, that's just laziness, sensitivity, and puberty! ''
And i'm only 12 and i'm depressed but nobody believes i'm actually depressed just because i seem to have a good life. people always judge me too fast and when people believe i am depressed they say ''It's because of that device you're always on! '' and they always say ''People have it worse! be grateful for everything you have! '' i feel really depressed and can relate to all of these signs, but nobody believes me because i'm 12 and i don't have a diagnosis. i've even tried to end it once. thanks for making me aware.

Welp, I go through this everyday, everytime. It feels so lonely. You just hang around in ur electronics cuz its much better than spending time outside with bullies or a mom who yells at you to get ur homework done. Most of my classmates get what they want, I don't though which makes me feel like Im not supposed to be happy in this world. I had been feeling less energetic and a loss of interest in activities like singing. My friends ignore me and it makes me really sad and lonely. Thanks for the video Psych2Go, it does portray how a depressed person feels.

I have only two signs but I dont think it is depression. It is just that people dont understand me well. But they also judge me for no reason I never let that knock me away! Because I actually like being weird and dont care that much. Also they think I am depressed. But I realized that a lot of them are jealous of me so I became immune to it. They just really annoy me all the time.

I'm a 14(going to be 15 soon) teenager, I have been feeling those symptoms, I did tell my parents about it but they shrug away my feelings and put them on mine. So I decide to just never talk about it again, I will just force myself to do things that seem like the normal me so that no one can tell. It's been 4 years since I feel this way, my relationship with my parents kinda crack.

My mom would always say that depression is caused because of lack of faith in my religion, or caused by the burden of sin now dont get me wrong, I 100% believe in my religion and I have faith in it, but I think Im depressed and she wont let me see anyone, and she only stresses me out when she says that stuff. am I the only one that this has happened to?

I can relate to this, things have been going bad lately due to my sister finding out, she blames it on me too, she told me it's my fault for being aggressive and she told me that I didn't like what they gave me, I mean why won't I develop anger issues and tantrums when whenever I fail I get beaten up?

Legally an adult but still true. I don't like my uncle so I have my phone out during meals with his family. He calls me out for it but doesn't do anything when his sons do the exact same thing. I decided to never go to his events anymore because I'll never be good enough for him even when I tried.

Mental or emotional pain is less dramatic than physical pain, but it is more common and also more hard to bear. The frequent attempt to conceal mental pain increases the burden. It is easier to say, My tooth is aching, than to say My heart is broken.
