The last day of school was the worst. I never got to see or talk to my friends. The school looked more like a zoo than a place to learn. It was raining and I hurried under a huge tree that I normaly wait for my mom at. My younger sister's school was near my own and as I turned around to lokk for my elder brother, I saw one of my dearest freinds. I still recognised him even though he had changed out of our school uniform and he was wearing a white shirt and a pair of jeans. I fought hard to control my tongue and stop myself from saying, Wow, you look nice. but instead, in my normal playfull criticism, I said, What are you wearing? He shrugged and joined me under the tree. He was used to my playfullness and the fact that I liked him but he didn't say anything about ot and the silence was unbearable. I had told hikm how I felt severally and he would joke about it. I knew he was going to a noisy spot where many students gathered to celebrate heaven know what. I preferred not to join anyone in some useless party, mainly beacause my sisters were at school, I didn't bring change of clothes, my brother would kill me, even before pnuemonia does and I was the shy, don't go party and get into trouble type. But He was going. I avoided his eyes until he placed a hand on my shoulder. I guess this is goodbye. I nodded, fighting back the tears and avoiding him. Goodbye. I said and he walked away. He turned back and waved then, disappeared. That memory is still stapled to my brain. I think I have said too much but I had to let go. That day, I cried more than the angry clouds and they didn't seem happy that I could cry a river better than them. That incident has affected my life, I don't eat, sleep or write stories like I used to. I just sob, eat and miss my best friend who I began to hate for making me vulnerable to pain, uselessness and the constant echo of his voice against me ears. From that day on, I swore that I would never tell anyone my problems or fall in love but here I am, writing this that maybe the whole world will see. I just realised that I still ahve a long way left. I haven't healed from it but I hope I can. I lost my uncle, my parents and my joy without even knowing. I don't have the kind of support I need but the wieght is off my shoulders. My name is Valoel and this is my story.

Im a uni student and Ive recently become depressed. It started a few weeks ago but I just blamed it on my anxiety. I couldnt sleep well, I couldnt get out of bed, couldnt go to campus, and I was in physical pain. I wasnt enjoying my degree anymore and felt a loss of motivation. I thought if I pushed through I would get better as that is what Ive done in the past. It failed in the worst way, I ended up having a panic attack at school. I went to the doctors and I was put into counselling and I have recently been put on antidepressants. I only just started them a few days ago and it is making me feel worse. I havent been able to shower, brush my teeth, eat much, get changed, or do things I used to enjoy. I feel ashamed that I have lost control of myself. I also feel like a burden as I am making everyone around me worry. Luckily, my mum is coming to take me home soon. She has suffered with the exact same thing Im going through. Its quite scary though, never have I thought to myself I just want to be happy. It feels like Im never going to be happy again.

This is true. and especially the last part. Physical pain that is caused by mental makes things difficult, because if you were to go to a regular doctor you will be told that you are perfectly fine, and whatever headache medications they give you probably wouldnt work at all.
Thats what happened to me, anyway. I have depression which a few months later spiraled into an eating disorder which leads back to depression
What did end up helping was of course. antidepressants and stuff. From a psychiatrist-
And it felt like living in a bubble, surrounded by a warm dark foggy haze, munbed out from the outside world. It feels comforting somehow, and recovering felt overwhelming for that bubble to suddenly be popped and I freefall back to the outside world and have to either immediately get up after the fall and run with the bubble chasing me, or. go back into that bubble which I wont, and people around me wont let me either. Sorry, no actual detail shared here. Only the feelings associated with it

I think I really need to share my story its not that sad though: first off I'm in my teenage years and my parents just got a divorce so I feel everything in this I even thought of kms a few times but I got out of that thankfully and some times I have no will to live and I either don't get hungry or I eat because I'm sad and I cant help but to feel like I'm worthless and I'm a frailer and i used to love drawing to make me happy but now i have no motivation to do really anything now I'm up at almost 3 in the morning writing this to people that wont even have a second thought about no one really will care but I will just write any way but anyway I just don't know or really want to express anything to people I meet in irl I know its not a good thing but I just cant help it and I went on a call for like 4 hours talking to a friend and I would love some comments with positive words to help me or just a like would make my day please and thank you.

My parents are horrible, thought I wont get fully into it. They have told me so many times its the screens that cause my laziness and lack of sleep. So much to the point I started to believe it. Until a few days ago, when they confiscated all my devices for a month (due to not leaving my bed or eating properly even though I have AuDHD (which they KNOW about) and depression. Today they gave me my phone to use for a few hours. But I realised in the time without it, that my devices havent changed a thing - I still dont sleep till like 4am and Im still exhausted and in pain. Ive tried to tell my mum but she just screamed and denied everything. Im a minor and I cant do anything about it until I can legally do so. (18+)
I have depressive episodes every night and I cant anymore, I hate myself

Man one time I was depressed because I had to move away from my home to a different country and I thought I had more time to spend with my best friend and then I was told that I had to leave and I never got to say goodbye. Once I left and was at my Nanas house since I was staying there for two weeks I felt really sad and my body always felt terrible like I was sick and I was also partially angry at my parents because they said I would have more time to be with my friend and I was always tired so I would take naps every day I would always be playing on my devices doing basically nothing all day and in my naps I would sometimes cry a little. And yes I went through that for about 2 weeks and it just sucked. But I got over it and Im able to contact my friend via discord so Im fine now.

These are true but the title is a bit dismissive. These are not the only way depression presents itself. For me, its apathy. Theres no joy, exitement, sadness. There is no feeling of hoplessness. There isnt any feeling of anything, just numbnes. At 11 years old, I became a husk of who I once was. Nobody noticed it because nothing else changed. I still smiled, talked to people and ate similarly yet while doing all those things I felt nothing. Even external physical pain was dulled for me, I felt nothing stubbing a toe or jammin a finger in a door. The only other symptom was unexplained aches and pains as described in your other video which seems weird considering my previous sentence. There was no one to help me and my family even made it several times worse.

2. It feels like there's an insurmountable mountain that separates me and successful people.
3. I have time to improve myself but i choose to drown in entertainment of all sorts.
4. I'm very selfish with my time.
5. I always go to work late and submits my projects late.
6. Still half-assed as a 30yr old like my hs self

My depression started during corona I got suicidal and depressed so I became socially awkward so I started to get bullied and that made it even worse I startet drinking alcohol.
Sometimes I even blacked out. I also startet cutting myself one day I came home and my trousers were just covered in blood so my parents noticed. we then went to a hospital there I got stitches on three wounds and my hole legs were covered in bandages than my parents startet looking for a psychiatry and I was not allowed to go to school anymore. now its 2 years later I still can't were shorts cause of all the scars and I have a really hard time talking to people or going to shool

I don't really talk to anyone anymore. it's like I don't want anything to say about anything and everything. I let my shyness combine with my anxiety and now I deeply regret my actions, I never talked to anybody, and I'm starting to wonder if people are worried about me. But my feeling abomination swallowed me whole and I never talked to anyone for 2 yrs, I felt like people talking was a I don't want when my anxiety combined with my shyness, I was 8 at the time and I never knew what was going on up until that point. Afterwards I never talked to anyone. My feeling abomination didn't start to consume me until my 9th birthday.

This is my story, I became depressed after school ended, (a few months ago) I was sad to not be in touch with my friends but glad I couldnt hear all the bullying, ever since that, my trust issues have grown bigger due to anxiety which lead to depression, I cried every night and didnt sleep for weeks, lost motivation, thoughts of dying, like today, (I still have depression) I got sad my friend didnt wanna hang out with me and she thought I was being selfish and wanted attention. I cried so hard I nearly k! IIed myself until I realised she isnt worth dying for so I forgot about her and made new friends.
reply

I can relate to all of this and I'm glad to see someone touching on this topic because it's not easy to open up about it for some people. Even as someone with severe depression, watching these videos has exposed myself to things I didnt even realize were connected. That point you made about the physical pain, I hadnt realized that mine has been linked to my depression! I also had never realized that my habit of staying up late was linked either, I've always just seen it as me getting too focused on my music or any other things I need to do.

Im an adult. in the 30s been dealing with depression for 20 years, i hate myself, hate life, i dont want to be alive, but i dont want to die. I cant talk to anyone about it people dont understand and just ends in a fight so i dont even bother. Ive taken pills, was an alcoholic, i cut and burn myself. I know i am worthless and that i am a bother to people. I dont want to try anymore, but im scared to try again. What if its not done right, and i end up paralysed or something. I just don't know anymore, im so lost with life, i have nothing and still living with my parents.

Hi, i have Automatic Negative Thoughts disorder (ANT) in a severe way and because of this i am in depression. This disorder makes me believe something which isn't real to be real in a way without letting my actual consciousness know about it.
It's been 3 years this has been happening to me and I am feeling extremely difficult to confront it to my parents. I'm 17 and i feel my parents would be devastated to know about this so i'm scared.
Ho do I say this problem to my parents? Anyone who has gone thorugh this situation, please suggest me.

reply

These videos help me a lot.
Not only to understand the depression I had once, but also what my friends might be going through.
It sadens me to see them sad, weak, or overall bad.
I have made myself a support for them. I've told them that if they need something, whether it is someone to talk to or if they just want me to listen, that I'll always be there for them. I will even go so far for them as to not sleep if they need me.
I have been through a lot of pain myself, so I can take on anything, as long as they are happy.

Ive been feeling like this for a couple months now, I didnt know what depression was but recently Ive discovered that thats what Im probly am. I dont wanna hang out with my friends but I cant sit in my room alone with my thoughts, if Im alone I usually just sit there staring at my ceiling tearing myself apart with my own thoughts. I think about dying but not in a way thats suicide or someone elses fault because I dont wanna be here anymore but I dont want anyone to feel like its their fault and suicide it a sin and I dont wanna go to hell
reply

Its hard for me to get through life since I have adhd, anxiety and maybe also depression
For my parents its just hard to understand, they cant really relate to me and so they dont believe me when I tell them I think I have depression
My school life was really a nightmare and I wish not a single person to live through the school life Ive been going through so far
But the thing that really helps me is talking with my therapist about my feelings and problems because I know we can figure out solutions together and she understands me

reply

I always feel low, sad, hopeless, think everyone in this world is better than me, I'm the problem, I'm the reason of my sadness, I feel I have no one, no body loves me, I don't deserve anyone, I'm the worst, I really just want to die but I'm too scared to do that, I used to love singing, I still sing but at the same time I don't put much effort feel like I have no future in it, I feel lazy to do everything, I may be, don't have problem with eating and sleeping. am I depressed or is it just my mind
reply

I'm 14 and I was an energetic teen but this day I felt like its slowly coming off and sleeping became my hobby cause I don't have that much friend and everyone in my class hated for being smart, but I don't really care, I always felt sad lately too, I don't know what to do, even my own parents called me dumb cause I suck at making decision this day also my clumsiness starting to show up, I wanna die, I'm tired, I don't think I can still go on I this world, ugh,

I lost my mom & it didnt end there. I lost my relationship and it didnt end there. I lost my job. This is really stressful because I brand myself and as a Christian and people tell me its a spirit and we should praise the lord to get rid of it but I dont even feel god anymore its like Im empty drained and have no energy Im tired I just want to be understood I just want a friend its so hard to talk to family because they just tell you to get over with it
reply

I want to be diagnosed, I really do. But looking at my current position, especially since I have an exam tomorrow and a few more exams upcoming up this week, I just feel stuck. I also have opened up to my parents before but I find it unfortunate that they can't understand my situation, which is why I'm worried that I will never be diagnosed and that my family will never understand what I'm going through, especially my relatives and friends.
reply

For me Im struggling with social anxiety which had lead to depression. With social anxiety means I hate myself and think everyone hates me to, I do not think that someone is looking at me because they like me or think good of me in any way I think they are judging me because they think Im more worthless than a dead leaf eaven I have no proof thats what theyre thinking I just have a hunch
reply

For the part where one of the coping methods was mentioned to be eating too much, for me, instead of eating too much, I usually get my divider and cut myself on my arm. Its impossible for me to even stop thinking about cutting myself. And yeah lol I have all the other symptoms except for feeling tired when I wake up. Everyday I text myself about my thoughts as I get them if I'm free.
