I have never tried to reach out to anyone about certain things, which I still don't know why would happen but this video kind of made me concerned about myself.
My stomach have always been weak, but nowadays, even if I eat little or just enough, it hurts all the time. Also, I have always struggled with fat and obesity which made me think of myself as a piece of sht.
People describe me as cheerful and extroverted but I just don't feel like it. When I am with others I feel like someone else.
I have extreme mood swings which I thought are related to my menstrual cycle, but apparently, I don't even have one anymore. I am 22 and doctors don't know what is wrong with me.
Often times I feel tired and sleep early only to wake up in the middle of the night in panic, looking at my clock. It's like time is non-existent in one moment and then it is pressurizing in the other. I don't understand this.
I dropped my hobbies. Sometimes I feel like doing them, but not more than 10 or 20 minutes. I always suddenly feel an urge to just quit.
Could this be depression? Idk. Maybe. I thought I would share my experiences hoping that others would also try to analyze themselves and seek help.
I hope one day I will be able to do it myself.

I'm writing this here because it's free and convenient. I often think about death. ish. I'm not making plans to end my life, but I feel very pervasive thoughts to the tune of Existence just feels like too much work for so little payoff, and even though I have people who care about me, all I see in myself is and endless number of reasons they'll want nothing to do with me sooner or later.
I feel like I exist to be a problem. My undergraduate experience was a series of disastrous mistakes I'm still not forgiving myself for (which I acknowledge is my choice, I'm within my right to deprive myself of compassion if I see fit, followed by a few lousy experiences with part time jobs and volunteer service that led nowhere. I'm just now on a decent career path and all i see is work, leading to more work, leading to more work. In my current state of mind, at best it looks like my life will be just me dancing for peanuts in some form or other and I almost feel too scared to hope it'll amount to anything better. So I just think my death would be weirdly peaceful.
I'm not gonna hurt myself, I'm physically safe. I'm just quietly seething about the mess I've seen my life become at this point.

All Of Them Relate Back Too Me In Some Way Shape Or Form (Apart From The Substance Abuse. Ever Since My Mom And Dad Split In February 2023, I've Been Isolating Myself More Than I Probably Should Be, One Second Im Happy And The Next, I Ask Myself What's Wrong With Me, I Found This Video A Couple Months Ago And I Kept Watching It Over And Over Again. I Have Constant Headaches From Time To Time, And So Much Other Stuff I Couldnt Explain Till I Found This Video, But Everyone I Talk Too About This Just Say, 'Think Positive' Or 'Pretend No Ones There' And My Answer Every Time Someone Says That Is 'Its Easier Said Than Done' Or 'Ok Then' And Then I Just Walk Away. The Only Reason They Say These Things Is Because Im Okay On The Outside
I May Try And Be Funny, Fake Smile, Laugh. But When Im Alone I Just Randomly Become Sad, And Usually, It Stays Like That For The Rest Of The Day, And There Was This Website I Loved Going On And I Went On It Almost Everyday But Now It Feels Like A Chore To Just Enter The URL. Sometimes I Just wish I Screamed At Myself Wish I Had Told Myself, I Wish I Could Just Go Back In Time And Change Everything.

It's probably not a good idea, infact an even worse Idea to post this here.
I can never get myself to ask for help from anyone and I refuse to talk about my problems as i think they're not real and I have no idea how to explain my problems.
For this I started believing that I just think I'm depressed. I'm afraid of asking for help, since the country I live in and the current people in the place I'm at are not at all caring about others' problems.
I have lost all my motivation for studying, I hate putting effort into things as I think they're never gonna be of any use in my life, and I have also given up on looking for a relationship as I'm too much of a coward to talk to girls or try to talk to them.
I am being told that the thing that should motivate me to learn is that my parents would send me to an educational institution.
I could never care about anyone around me, as I also feel like they absolutely don't care about me either.

2 years ago I 2as taken to a therapist after my mental health worsened over lockdown. I wasn't diagnosed for the sole purpose that my appetite wasnt affected. Now that I am doing a research essay on depression, i realize that there aren't 1 or 2 symptoms to it. The therapist I was taken to asked me 2 questions, something like this: Has your daily life been affected by this? yes Has your appetite changed at all? No. Then you don't need to worry about anything. My appetite has changed for as long as I can remember, sometimes I want to constantly eat and others I go a whole day without eating, so I didn't notice any changes. I need to go back but I'm scared of what my parents will say or do if I ask, more specifically, What's wrong? Why do you want to talk to a therapist? You can tell us anything

I am still a teen, not above 16 yet but I have been feeling quite disappointed in myself, feeling shame, feeling regret, and feeling angry at myself in a spurt and it makes me feel violent. I can't scream, I can't take it out quietly or peacefully. My parents are absolutely amazing, I feel like shit for feeling this way because I have everything I need for a happy life, but everything I have learned, my passions, and my plans for the future is overshadowed by stress, demotivation, and self-deprecating thoughts. I used to have so much passion years ago. Now I'm a student who has low grades, procrastinates a lot, and can't even get myself up to wake up, but I have to. I have school. I have a life I need to keep alive. But I can't.

I am a 13 year old boy, I reached puberty almost a year ago. I Started feeling stuff that I haven't felt before, like anxiety attacks, overwhelming stress, mood swings, and so on.
And I do have trouble sleeping, I have Middle Insomnia where I keep waking up in the middle of the night and can't go back to sleep, my head hurts whenever I am in a social situation, and I cope with negative emotions by crying alone in my room
Dunno if I have depression but I am 13 years old, it's not possible right?

Ive always been a really calm and well regulated person. Even when at my worst, I never really got angry at anything. Over the past five years Ive always had to lie in my bed for twenty+ minutes trying to convince myself to get out of bed. But only this year I have been so angry at everything, I dont feel like myself and its really hard now. I never was doing to great but it wasnt anything severe. Im getting worse. But there is nothing I can do to stop it, its like stopping a ball rolling off a cliff

I have nine out of ten symptoms. Though I know that lately I've been feeling burnt out, I don't mention my problems to anyone as they will likely not understand. I just want to say, teenage depression isn't just a phase or stage, but a factor to face in depression. The sad thing is, whenever I try to open up to my parents and talk about my problems or find a therapist to handle them, they just ignore me and say that I'm disrespectful, making the whole thing an endless cycle.

can anyone please give me some actual, good advice on how they helped support a friend struggling with depression? how were they feeling? how did you interact with them? did they get better?
i'm only a friend, sadly, without the slightest therapeutic qualification. but i am asking for advice on how to be my best and most useful because i really care about this person. and i feel like the Psych2Go community is one of the places to ask.

Help. I have all of these symptoms and its really ruins my life, Im and teen and I dont really want to ask my parents for help. I know this sound dumb but I really dont think that they would even care and I need help. Usually I wouldnt ask especially on a platform like this but please, this is really my last resort. I have nothing and want to do nothing I just want to get better so I can be good in school and have lots of friends.

Persistent Depression Disorder and a job you hate is a nasty combination: ( especially since due to reasons I can't quit for a few years. Unfortunately I hit nearly all those points due to my situation. But I do everything I can to enjoy what I like when I'm off work and be thankful that I DO have a paying job. But man is all the damn depression and thoughts annoying. All I can do is keep moving forward: /

Its the way Im going through this and have to act like everything is perfectly fine to my parents or its all a punishment and shame I should feel abt myself if I tell them the truth. I just wish they cared about my mental health as much as they do about physical. Instead of them punishing me. I just dont feel any emotional safeness with them so will never truly open up to them about my emotions.

is that. really it? i dont have any thoughts about death, but everything else truly matches. my apathy is getting out of hand, im close to being expelled, but im always thinking its just my extreme laziness. i started viziting doctors and taking some vitamins, but yet to visit a psychotherapist. are these just my delusions, my self-pity? is it really dangerous? i dont know.

Well since a week or two I noticed sudden changes in sleep pattern. Like I sleep late and wanting to wake up late but I can't since I've to wake up early. I really want to take a break but unable to. Not happy neither sad just like in a constant fear of loosing time and doing nothing. Hungry but not wanting to eat. Sleepy all day and night.

i have almost all of these signs maybe just missing one, although i go to therapy, it has done nothing, but somehow make it worse? i'm afraid to tell anyone about my problems, (having been close to have to be in a psych ward thing) this being just a comment, and no one knowing who i am, makes it so much easier for me to say this.

When you become mature. You know you have to live as a depressed person. But don't want to waste your life by dying. But you also don't have hope to enjoy your life. And you live as a empty person.
