Good topic. The black community is riddled with mental health issues and most of us don't want to deal with it. A lot of us live in war zones but expect our minds not to crack. As black people we all know at least one relative who is literally insane but the family ignores it. I couldn't even tell my family I was in therapy because they said "therapy is for crazy people". This attitude is slowly changing but not quick enough.
Yeah, BUT being vulnerable can hurt you because people in the workplace will take that information to bully, ostracize, and isolate you strategically urging you to quit instead of offering up any support.
Perhaps they should be doing more. I'm black and my depression has always manifested as laziness/apathy. At times gluttony. Nothing wrong with being honest with yourself that you're not doing enough. Not addressing it will lead to more negative behaviors and depression.
A lot of us are doing things. The depression literally makes it hard to do things. You can't do sh*t because you're depressed. And you're depressed because you can't do much.
It could also be ADHD. Stress, Depression, Insomnia, Procastination/laziness, lack of focus/concentration and overeating /overspending lack of impulse control all symtoms of ADHD which is underdiagnosed in women especially women of color.
Please hang in there. I beg you. I know it's hard. I am a black woman who struggles everyday with this feeling no matter what I do or accomplish. Please seek online therapy if you need someone of your hue. Just please dont give up on yourself. If you're a Christian also try reading your bible (I find Psalms chapter 34 very helpful)and praying. ❤❤❤❤😔
Sir cut the games. Black woman are choosing singleness because being with black men in more stressful and extra labor. Being responsible for managing a home, birthing/nursing/and raising children, taking care of a husband, and working a full-time job outside of the home because the black man can’t provide is living both roles. Not to mention the unhealthy relationship norms. If more black men would welcome themselves to a man’s life they’d be able to provide, protect their families, head a household and take pressure off their wives. Y’all too busy being mad that BW would rather be alone than continue tolerating the inequality of labor bm are dumping on their women.
@@peacefreedom4930 most black women were never wives so you’re painting a fake image . Black women choose to keep having children outside of wedlock . People who aren’t problematic don’t do this . Also odd to hear black women talk about black men not protecting when Blake women are known for getting their brothers and other men to fight and kill in their honor , isn’t it interesting that none of y’all think you need to earn a man who protects and provide as you claim you strong and independent lol
@mericanmodi8479 There are married couples popping out babies they can’t afford. Most Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. So, living above your means seems to be a part of American culture. Why are men impregnating women they don’t want to commit to, and making children they will abandon? It takes two. So don’t act like men aren’t just as responsible.
So if the symptoms look like this specifically for black women, what does it look like women of other races? What are the symptoms of depression for Native American women? Caucasian women? Chinese women? Thai women? Russian women? Scottish women? Japanese women? Egyptian women? Nigerian women?
Ask those women. Look at videos with women of those demographics. This comment sounds dense. This clearly is for the Black women that this is affecting. It’s giving all lives matter
@@tori5866 Nigerian women are Nigerian. I am Nigerian. I am not black. My skin is brown if we’re being technical. Colors like black, white, they are corporate designations. They are not real. If that’s the case, aren’t Asians yellow? You’ll never hear them claim that ish. & I don’t either. You can keep it though.
Ive wondered about this. for the past year just about every encounter with a black woman has been absolute psychosis. Every single issue is devolved into skin color, rather than any hope of mutual respect if not respect simple human tolerance. The growing media support of anti-white rhetoric is disgusting as well.
Do explain.. You say that Black Women experiences are different than other cultures.. So their attitude in society is different.. But when other cultures single you out as different; it's offensive.. Pick a Struggle!
They’re going to do that anyway.. yes bw die more during childbirth. They die more by their partners every 3 1/2 hours. And so on. If u don’t want this to be the case , then protest about it. Oh u won’t cause u don’t care but u hate the fact bw different experiences are acknowledged because then it singles out non bw and what they go through. It’s a competition with u mfs.
The racism and lack of empathy in these comments is not surprising. Black women, take note and only worry about yourselves 💯
Since when are ABW empathetic to anyone outside of themselves? You reap what you sow.

Broken homes and child abuse are the root causes.

He said angry black women….

Typical of his type! What the heck is angry black woman! All people get angry!

BW can help themselves a lot by losing weight.

Ignorance of Isiah is adding to stereotypical harms.

Yeah, they usually pick fights at airports and fast food restaurants. Sometimes right in the drive-thru. But there's no evidence of that, right??🙄
@Dee Dee I love black woman, especially their cooking.. i never seen or heard of a Becky that can cook food better than a sista can... "Period"...
@@Delightfullydee7 bc we need to know what's the latest and greatest excuse for the next crime wave without being accountable.

@Peace Freedom there's a reason why so many bw are homeless
@@RandySavage1555 There’s a reason for everything. More BM are homeless than BW. There’s a reason for that too. So what’s your point?

Ask them. Not black women’s job to do everything as if others are too good to help themselves lol tf
That’s not this conversation. Research
Nigerian women are black. But anyway go watch a video and review research on those demographics you listed…

That’s a victim mentality, you shouldn’t be so sensitive and make everything about you.
Any anti white rhetoric is justified. U ppl have fked with everything and everyone. Well deserved
