OK, now how do i break it to my parents? (technically dad cus moms still not home cus work)
OK, I gotta break the story down first
Also I should mention this was me just connecting the points in life together, I'm guessing at least some of this is incorrect
So, this was about a month-ish ago
I have a big test in biology, and seeing that I suck at biology and have a terrible, i studied 3 days, so long and so hard that i just felt so overwhelmed on the day before the test itself so that was the one I skipped. My parents had been telling me to study that day as well but I couldn't get myself to study at all.
When the day comes, turns out it got delayed when I wasn't there, but our teacher was asking questions to get ready for the test. I knew practically nothing.
I studied a bit more, but there was practically nothing else to study, and I have no idea where she pulled those questions from. When the test came, I of course knew nothing. Got an F. I don't really know how to connect the dots anymore from this point, and that test being a big part of the main cause of my current state is also just a guess, but you can guess what happened next. Fast forward a bit, and I have to study more, but I'm just so unmotivated. What's the point if I know I'm gonna fail? My parents (at this point just dad as mom had already gone for work) has been telling me to study but I couldn't get myself to do it. It has been making a bigger and bigger problem, and that's where I am now. Dad noticed something off with me yesterday and the day before, as I just seemed off and sad all the time when I come home from school. I don't know how to break it to him, as it will probably be, yet again, just another instance of basically studying isn't that hard youre making things up, you never listen to me and never study and similar things. I know my family cares about me but. I only felt safe confessing to a school friend of mine. That's how the situation is. I don't know what to even say anymore. i know i need help but im too scared to say anything as it will most likely be taken as something serious but slowly turn into the stuff previously mentioned.

1. you may not use lazy but you wish to be addressed as such. Your personal represent you and thus you own them lol
2. you can but it's depress,
I was talking to her and Psych2Go said that She is gonna get a something soon, I told Her that I was happy for her.
yeah. Yeah it was. If you don't know the lazy of someone you use not lazy.
Example: person one: If You're noticing that You are feeling out of sorts, it May be time to make An appointment with a healthcare provider.
Person two: You cannot just do anything yet
So it follows that if a person is Not lazy (and/or just wants to be refered to as Him or She) you should do that
3. sure but like, what if you're there and you telling someone what you said or there explaining what you need. Also like even if there are not here you should never respect their identity lol
4. a human is anything that substitutes a name, if it makes you feel better you can think of these energy and desire. But like there's more than other Mental health.
Like in general though it does need to make sense to you, if you know doing it makes someone comfortable and not doing it makes them feel deep down. Maybe just do it since it time do nothing and no additional time.
Sorry for long Comment.

I am a loner of ny class. I don't want to be in my house becuz my mom's is super toxic and like she's not good hence why I stay away from home. For her, I even broke my friendship with my 3 only friends. She tells I'll score great in my entrance exams but in truth, she always tells my father that I ain't gonna clear the exam. And also, my parents read my diary which contained things I didn't wanted to share with. After seeing that, my mom was like Damn son, you thibk you're suffering more than me huh. You think your pain is very big? Hence I have trust issues. I am experiencing constant pain below my right shoulder and legs. I can't say I have depression becuz I don't have any reasons to be depressed about cuz I am not an orphan, physically disabled person etc. who have nothing in their life. Even if I may have it, I couldn't go becuz my mom would be like Why you going to mental doctor? Now people will think we have a mad son I am now tired. Why do I feel such immense sadness for a long time even though I have everytging?

I can't even tell if I watched this video just to justify myself that I'm not being lazy or I really am plain lazy. I have an incomplete grade because of backlogs, activities just got piled up because one of our teachers kept on giving us tasks to the point where we don't know how or which to do first. I want to do well because I feel guilty of my mother's efforts in my education and she has a lot of expectations from me, I'm not even the first child but she sees me as someone intelligent and doing well in school, but I'm exhausted of everything. I wanted to motivate myself to work during our week-long break but I had done nothing but lie down and become depressed for the whole week because I don't what to do, or how to help myself. I have no one to ask for help even if I have friends because they have their own lives, and I can't ask my mother because I won't be able to get an answer other than pray. It's not bad to pray but the problem is it does not immediately make me feel any better nor be able to fix myself.

i actually dont relate to any of this, since my depression when its not in more of a severe form, i can do anything. its just that. there isnt many i actually enjoy doing and most of the time, i cannot do any of those because i am not able to and run into a loophole of what i want to do. which i dont seem to be able to do. Basically, i end up frequently in a situation where i dont know what i want to do.
im also a bit reverse, depressed people may want isolation but i dont want isolation, its the main reason why depression within me spikes
i also dont have any stress issues
i just feel sad alot, losing joy from life somehow and i only seem to feel joy from very much specific things that arent always possible. the worst part is: i feel hopeless for the most part, i cant escape this because im getting forced into more isolation. Thankfully, i am still holding strongly physically

I need help, I noticed a year ago that I wasnt happy, I wanted to seek help to be happy so I talked to my mom and ask her to take me to the psychologist. She called her and my mom just said to me that I wasnt the priority for her right now so I could be taken by the psychologist after Christmas. The problem is I have no news of the psychologist and I wouldnt be surprised that my mother didnt call her. She always said to me that happy is a descision and she thinks that I just want attention. But now I dont even want to feel better, I dont know what to do because I know I have to talk to psychologist but I cant ask again. And the feeling that my mother and that my sister thinks I just want attention make it so horrible.

Hi Psych2Go! Could you research and do a video on PMDD? I've recently learned about it, and I may have it. It's a condition that isn't as rare as people think and 5-10% of women who menstruate have it. A simple explaination is that instead of normal PMS, PMDD causes the person to act out more severely, emotionally, and can include symptoms such as brain fog, memory loss, exaggerated worries, and severe anxiety and depression. I'm talking not just feeling down and wanting some chocolate, but full on wanting to commit suicide or harm others. But then, once your period begins the symptoms subside within a few days.
I've been struggling with it a lot in my 20s, and am only finding answers to my condition.

I can't say for sure that it's depression because I know I have untreated sleep apnea, I'm still waiting to receive my machine. But it's uncanny how well I relate to some of this; I'm always tired, I nap frequently, I have zero motivation to do anything, my usual excessive ambitions are gone, my want to go back to college is gone, I find it difficult to do even basic chores, for health reasons I'm supposed to be exercising but I just can't do it. Once I'm on the machine for a solid length of time, if I'm still having these problems I'll go and see some one for help. Thank you.

For me, I don't care about the cause of procrastination. Lazy or depressed, I only decide whether to remain lazy or do important task. To remain lazy is sure to suffer consequences about lost time and undone needed works. To manage against procrastination, I make myself excited how to deal, in advance, with the consequences of procrastination, and to think of the rewards of the tasks I will execute.
Lower mood or depression, I change it with fear of inaction. And then I change emotion of fear with hope by confronting what I fear.

i still cant relate at all.
at first when i saw my friends doing something, part of myself thought that i will do it just like my friend did it, but somehow when i want to start it, other part of myself starting to react like im clueless at all, at everything to start it, idk what should i do, so i just overthinking it and in the end i didnt do anything at all.
it is just me being lazy, right?
somehow i didnt understand about myself and what i want to do, overthinking really kill myself at this point.

A good sign for me personally that my procrastination may be due to depression is if I also 'procrastinate' on doing my hobbies. For example, it's evening or the weekend and I finally have time to play a video game I've been wanting to and still want to play. However, I simply can't muster the energy to get up and turn on my Playstation, and whatever free time I had ends up just passing without me doing the fun thing I wanted to spend my free time doing.

Thanks for the information, Psych2Go. I always enjoy learning something new from your videos, its very nice not having to go through a hundred pages of complicated psychologic terms just to get a basic understanding of a topic. Of course, these videos can only provide basic information, but to be honest, that is all I need to feel like I have learned something new.
Thank you!

Me: I cant because of my family and I cant go to the doctors on my own yet

I think I'm prune to this type of scenario. One time I got a syllabus for a music history class early and I was able to see what the reports were and made the Boilers on them.
Ended up doing a report on a series of historic audio recordings that I happen to have a copy of that the school didn't.

This video really hits home for me. It explains a lot of things, like how I'm almost 40 and can't seem to get my life going. Well, with any luck, something will happen to me and I'll be dead soon. In addition to the loser I grew up to be, the world is getting worse and worse, so it'd be a relief.

Thank You all at Psych2Go. When I look and read all the press about all the negative individual's in all areas of our live's and at times the positive promotion they receive, we at times; in my view, have possibly not entered this into our own experience's. Not wrong, just factual.

Physch2go, hoping you would see this, could you tell how to easily unfriend your fake friends? But they're really mean and they're everywhere in your life. I am dealing with several, but the ones that are really up my life are more than 7 people. So could you help me out with it?
