- Have you ever heard of depression tiredness? Depression tiredness is being mentally exhausted from trying to fight off all the negative thoughts that can make you feel worthless, meaningless, or unimportant. It’s so much more than just feeling tired and can affect your life in many ways. From your lifestyle to how you interact with others, sometimes it feels as if depression is inescapable. To help put these complex feelings into words, here are a few ways depression tiredness can manifest.

Depression feels like you don't know why you even exists.
@@Dev.Yadav. I don't wanna to die, I want to rest forever
@@mishtyyyy9631 for real, I'm scared of death but don't wanna live ykkk?
That's me :/
@Dev Yadav that's just THE question of life.. Depression is different.. It's an emotional rollercoaster of self hatred and inner torment.... When you spend endless nights crying and brooding over bullshit... It can be a beautiful thing.. Depending on the outcome.. I think i have beat it. It was a hard fight... But now I'm afraid of how bad it could be if i get back into that state. My body, heart and mind really took a beating over the last 3 years.. Pretty sure i developed insomnia
True
That's so relatable. I've been depressed for six years, it hurts so much when my parents say it's laziness :c
My parents say the same thing! They constantly complain that I'm lazy!
My father, as well.
Unfortunately, the primary issue is a lack of education regarding Mental Health.
Fortunately, this is no longer a Taboo subject and MH Resources are becoming more and more Available/Attainable.
I find that kind of Reassuring!
I know its easier said than done but ignore them. Theyre being toxic towards you.
Keep ignoring your depression and taking risks and continue to work to better yourself. Youll feel better(and I know this first hand)
You would think after so many years and the amount of sleeping you do, that would pose a red flag and they would know it’s more than just laziness. I think they just don’t want to address it. I’ve been diagnosed with severe depression for 7 years now. My family SHOULD know by now why I’m tired all the time. My mother insist I just have low iron. I get my blood tested regularly. The only thing they say is that my potassium is slight low sometimes but I get it up right after. I take iron, magnesium, B12, and multivitamins. I’ve been off medications, on them, switched them a hundred times, I eat healthy the majority of the time (veggies, protein, unsaturated fats, carbs, vitamin rich foods.) I’ve changed my sleeping schedule. Tried to get less sleep, tried to sleep more. I’ve tried caffeine, working out, meditation, etc. I’ve tried so much and I still can’t reach normal energy levels. Sometimes they improve slightly but not enough. You would think that my family would stop yelling me for sleeping a lot. I’m in college which is already alot since I have a illness that makes me want to sleep 24/7 and I still get called lazy and unproductive.
Honestly, Ive come to the conclusion that my family want to think that I’ve somehow been cured of depression (which has no cure) just because Im not actively trying to off myself anymore. I want to scream back at them but I don’t want to make them uncomfortable by reminding them depression doesn’t have a cure and this is something I will have to live with till I die.
@@rkara34 depression isnt necessarily uncurable. It depends on the type of it. Some people (myself included) experience seasonal depressions, some people experience it after something bad happens to them etc...
Also, if I were you Id tell your family that its not your fault that youre like this. Its a familys job to take care of those in need among them.
Best of luck in anything btw:)
Possibly one of the most debilitating symptoms of depression 😢
Yes it is. I pretty much only do what I really have to everyday. And most days that hard to even do.
Having this during my junior year of high school really kicked my ass to the point where now I'm just trying to recover during the summer
@@oobernoober7617 yeah I feel you almost took my life in freshman year and not to mention I have high functioning autism. We just deal with it alot worse but to where I bottled it too deep underwater. But yeah I feel you depression sucks really bad and I'm still emotionally wounded from my freshman year for some reason. 24 years old and I still deal with the same pain but based on the way society acts no point in seeking help. So yeah I can understand how it is in high school though it sucks.
The main reasons people were on this suicidal forum I used to go to: Chronic health problems, neurological problems, financial trouble, loneliness, abusive person or people in their lives.
@@chrisholland2016 if you're in a decent enough country, there is a chance you will find a good therapist and can afford necessary meds. Not to mention a possibility of finding a good person that will be willing to support you mentally when your family is not an option. All of this will certainly help you, do not avoid seeking help if it can be found. Myself, I'm in ruzzia, so obviously all of this is impossible, especially coming from med ed and knowing very well how local mental healthcare works (and that's not to mention the absolute state of this lame joke of a country right now and no perspectives whatsoever). I'm an ASD, too, and was diagnosed way too late, after breaking completely and s*icide attempts, which I was able to resist at the last moment, somehow. I'm 27 now, total hell started happening in 2014 and culminated in 2016. Changed me 180° as a person. Got diagnosed in early 2019. Can't even work part-time jobs anymore, and health just keeps wasting away. My dormant autoimmune issues got triggered during pandemic, making me even more of a wreck than I already was. I'm trying to take regular walks and such, wash myself often, clean my room, maintain at least some semblance of a diet, etc., but the only things I feel from all this is even more burnout, futility and no satisfaction. So yes, if there is even a slight possibility of finding a good therapist, act out on it asap, your life may very well be saved. Many don't get such luck, and not just our fellow ASDs. And if you know someone who may likely be ASD, or at least ADHD, convince them to get diagnosed asap. Can definitely save a life, too. Would have saved mine, at least.
It is so weird, because there is a little voice who knows what is best to do. But there is also a huge voice in my head what is full of negativity and what hates everything. I want to get out of it but it's so terrifying to do something out of my comfortzone and something that is not exhausted

@@joyfulfishman5445 do you have the possibility to go to therapy?
@@SillySamWho im sorry that happened
This is me to a T! Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to see a therapist despite telling my doctor that I need one! To complicate matters, I live in a county where mental health care is an absolute joke-you have to be depressed to the point of being suicidal just to get their ATTENTION, and I’m nowhere near that point (plus I have my Rule #6: NEVER let the bullies win!). WTF am I supposed to do for my mental health?
I've been feeling like this for around a couple of years now, I tried to communicate this issue with my father but he just says that I'm too young, what on earth can be troubling me at this age, comparing his struggles with mine and on the other hand, I'm scared to seek professional help. So, rn I'm stuck in this constant loop of tiredness and can't seem to find a way out. I hope I'm able to win this battle before it's too late.
Do you have a friend you trust enough to talk to? You don't have to give a lot of info, just the basics and maybe they can comfort you. A little comforting can go a long way. I'm rooting for you, keep going. ❤
I relate to u so much.. It's the same for me.. But just don't lose hope, things will eventually get better.. That's all I can say to keep myself going. ❤
@@gianna526 I totally agree with you, thankyou❤️
@@helloitsme-_- the same goes for you, don't lose hope❤️
It hurts so much when they say that :c
I hope it gets better for you soon, don't give up 💖
It’s tiring to fight the urge to give up life. I keep on questioning my life. It’s been 2 weeks that I can’t sleep with my normal sleeping pattern and it’s been keeping me up and unfocused at work. I can’t seem to keep the negative thoughts at bay. I’m always feeling exhausted and just wanna sleep but something always keeps me awake. I can’t even find the courage anymore to seek professional help ‘cause I’m feeling that they will invalidate my feelings. 😔
They won't invalidate your feelings, it's like your doctor ignoring pain. It is caused by factors and they'll look into it to find the cause and come up with a "cure"
After a huge loss in my life, I feel like I have just been able to exist...which is really sad because I used to live life and do a ton of creative and physical hobbies . I lost that, and for years and years now I am just existing..thank you for putting this out. I'm not sure when I last was truly living and embracing life. This awareness is more depressing because I know everything I am missing. It's very difficult for someone with past addiction issues to keep my self awareness and not just use that crutch...but I haven't gone back there, but I have ended up in a ton of toxic relationships because my self esteem is very low. I really like and respect your channel, thank you again. And yes, I am constantly exhausted and feel like I'm alone in this. It's really hard to watch others live life. I find it almost impossible to have close friends because they are so active and busy living life, and as much as I may want to I just can't keep up with "living" every day and so I stay distanced so they don't see how much I am barely functioning.. there'sa lot of guilt and shame involved.thanks again 🙏👍👌
I relate to this so much.
I lost my mother to cancer when I was 12 years old and her eventually dying was kept a secret from only me, everyone knew for years and I got the news that she had about 7-10 days left to live from a nurse during a family meeting with some extended family members but my mom wasn't there. My memory is in pieces after that but my dad told me I was in denial the entire time but I remember running out towards my house crying and seeing my mom on the couch looking at me completely heartbroken. No one prepared me and I had to watch her slowly die with an oxygen tank at home, yellow skin, could barely talk or walk except for the day before she died, she suddenly looked better and could walk and speak more clearly.
Next day one of my aunts asked me to come with her to my parents bedroom and everyone was standing around the bed crying, I came in and stood at the end of the bed looking directly at her body and that's when time stopped and something in my brain just broke.
I felt extremely angry but I was frozen on the outside and couldn't even cry because it felt so unreal but I left and went into my bedroom and had a full blown breakdown.
Everyone got some alone time with her, when I sat down next to the bed the last image I have of my mom is her body turning purple/green/yellow and her skin was ice cold. At one point her eyelids started opening and I got (unrealistic) hope that she was coming back and my aunt and my dad had to tell me she wasn't coming back.
This was more than losing a mom, that day our family lost the core love that held my dad, my brother and me together. They're both emotionally closed off especially during that time and for a long time after too.
I learned that behavior from them and became very emotionally closed off and depressed.
It's been 12 years but my life ended that day, something inside me just died and life has been unbearable and mostly joyless, the only thing that truly brings me real happiness are animals other than that I've lost interest in pretty much everything.
I'm really worried I'll be stuck in this underlying unresolved grief state forever no matter how much therapy I'm in.
Sorry for the long rant!
you are so not alone in this! look, if you dont really feel comfortable talking with anyone in your life about this, you can talk to me. i know, im a stranger, but it's not like i personally know you, so
@@Vetrarland i'm really sorry you had to deal with that especially as a child. i feel like everything came to you in a rush, you didn't have time to process that information like the rest of your family did. you can beat this, i know you can. i'll be praying for you
Coming out of years of depression, I’ve noticed just how much fighting my demons for years is affecting my mind not only mentally, but physically. I’ve only just noticed how navigating through my mind’s thoughts have weighed so heavy on my brain, as about a month or two ago, I felt both sides of my temple completely sore, drained and tender. I’ve had regular migraines before, where the back of my head aches and my eyes are sore and sensitive to light, but these headaches have been different. I’ve flipped the script of my destiny in this life, and with my mind blossoming and evolving, so have the demons. They’ve gone from basic self doubt and harmful thoughts to intricate ideas that go against my plans in every way my mind can imagine. I think so much, I literally can’t sleep til morning some days and as soon as I wake up, my mind goes straight to 10 again. The results are these headaches where I feel my brain doesn’t have enough oxygen, so I sigh constantly, my head feels like a hundred pounds and I can feel every vein in my head throbbing. No amount of water feels enough anymore, and my newfound motivation is only hampered by overflowing thoughts. Also, I feel so much more comfortable in social settings, but the thought of coming off uneducated due to me being mostly silent for a few years steers me away from being as outgoing as I should/want to be. It’s honestly okay, because part of my own treatment is recognizing these symptoms and working on them at my own pace, and the fact I’m self-aware about it is only a sign of soon-to-be full recovery. I hope anyone else who is depressed, was depressed or are working their way out can reach their goals and true inner peace.
Depression is like constant apathy and then there's the episodes of pure agony in between.
I feel the same way. I am glad that I am not alone. Thank you
i used to be severely depressed.
comparing myself to my friends, repeating that i am not good enough. and much more worse things.
after months i realized i feel so much better. and i never compare myself to anyone now.
i am so happy i am feeling better. for the ones who are still struggling i just want to say that you can do this. i know it’s hard to get over sometimes. but i just hope things are going well for everyone.
i'm so proud of you
thank you I really appreciate it
did you take any medication?If you did, how long did you take it?
@@janjue5819 oh i didn’t take any medications
Feel very tired no energy sometimes. Don’t feel depressed but I am a worrier. Today the humidity was very high so blamed it on that. I am against medication. Any suggestions?
I love how much I learn from your videos. Some of these mental illnesses have never been taught to me and learning more has allowed me to not only take care of my own mental health but also recognize the warning signs in the people I love 🧡
This video explains things I didn't know were happening.
I'm getting so tired of fighting it... So tired.
Your voice is so calming 😭
Ikr
This explains exactly how I have been feeling for the past several months, and this is such a coincidental time for this video to come out.
I just got started on a new medication for my depression, alongside therapy I've already been doing for a year now, and so far I've been doing really well. I was finally able to smile and laugh today, which I have not been able to do for quite some time.
I hope everyone who is going through this same thing has a healthy support group they can reach out to, and if not, I hope you can one day seek the help you need. It is really worth the time and the effort you put into it. I can finally say I'm so happy to just be happy.
How is new med?
And could you share what it is please?
For me depression was like a black ball in the pit of my stomach that locked away all my emotions. Everything feels boring and for some reason you can't laugh anymore...
I was depressed fo over 10 years. And I want to share some things that helped me get out of it step by step! I still had some dips but even those faded away over time! Almost 5 years without depression now!
I do have to say that I had a high functioning depression.
Some of these things have been backed up by science and some just worked for me!
The biggest thing and step was changing my diet/lifestyle!
I went plantbased and this had also been proven to change your mood! Our gut and brain are connected to eachother and by healing your gut you also start healing your mind!!
I did this one day at a time not all at once. (Also taking vitamin D3 from algea helps a lot!!)
This resulted into me questioning a lot of things. Like what brings me joy or what kind of people make me feel save and happy( for what happy was at that time) So slowly I started changing my entire life and I only realised this after! After one year of plantbased I went on my vegan lifestyle journey (this gave me the feeling that I made a big difference not just for me but for everyone and it does! That I wasn't doing it alone. but for you it might be something else) helping others made me start to help myself.
I started confronting my own ego and realised that that little shit voice was the one who complained and judged all the freaking timeee!
Once I started to understand what was me/ my higher self and what was my ego that was the point were I no longer got sucked down into a depression.
I then stopped pretending like everything was fine. I allowed myself to feel and let go and realised that I don't owe anyone but me a smile!
Now I'm at a point were I am fully healing old trauma and understanding were negative thoughts and behaviour comes from.
I also realised that I had also taken a role into my own suffering! And that lesson Is what changed me for ever. That I can now take full responsibility and give my inner child a big hug and lots of love.
Conclusion
Find something meaningful for you (not to others or expectations you took on)
Start eating more fruit and plants!
If in a country that doesn't have much sun take vitamin D (not the cheap one but a healthy one. I take the vegan algea version from viridian) (also a nutrition and supplements student)
Stop pretending it's fine. Just feel it and then thank that feeling and let it go.
Cut people and things out that make you feel like shit.
You don't owe anyone anything only yourself.
Thank you for sharing this.
that was the longest ad for algae viatmins I've ever read
im so happy for you honestly. good job
I think this is great advice. Sometimes depression is impossible to get rid of, but diet and exercise always make a big difference. And staying hydrated - A lot of Americans are dehydrated because they get more salt than potassium and it should be the other way around.
Also surround yourself with loving people you can open up to without judgment. Find them online if you can't find them in person. Avoid toxic people, even family members if necessary.
Another thing that's important is to go out and get sunshine. A 45 minute walk has healed me a number of times....
I think most people's depression comes from living in a sick society where jobs and everyday life have all of us engaging in extremely unhealthy behavior regularly, feeling like it's normal.
Thank you
Everyone experiences the weight of existence. EVERYONE. The way to cope is to be connected to the good people around you. You are smart. Channel your intelligence towards learning and sharing something that you find interesting and find a creative way to share it so others see the value of it. Focus on amplifying things that can help others cope with their struggle. When we see other people coping in constructive ways it inspires us to do the same. No one can ultimately defeat entropy, but as Albert Camus states, the struggle towards the heights it is enough to fill us with inspiration. If you see someone who needs your help, find a way to help and inspire them. Kindness is powerful.
A big part of healing is connecting with others who understand what we’ve been through and they can be a huge support when you’re having a rough patch emotionally.
💙CZcamsr That Helps People Overcome Toxic Relationships
This video explains simply and clearly what I've been through and what I've come to understand through years. I think it's one of the best ways to explain to someone how depression can manifest
I'm professionally diagnosed with a number of mental illnesses as a result of an extremely abusive childhood. One of them is MDD. I didn't really understand why I was diagnosed with it at first, but I think I'm beginning to see why. I think I wasn't letting myself see the patterns in my behavior. These videos are helping me put things into perspective. Thanks for that.
I currently feel all of these. I couldn’t figure out what was wrong. This makes so much sense. Crazy timing on the upload. Thanks for the enlightenment!
These feelings are what I've been experiencing lately in regards to work... self care in itself is a back and forth process, which only adds to my frustrations, and getting a hold of my counselor isn't always easy as he has other patients to tend to besides me, so these videos have been very helpful when it comes to understanding myself and how my brain functions ❤️
You are not "crazy" it's real and exhausting. It feels eternal and forces me back to sleep until I'm refreshed back to a functional stasis. It makes it impossible to work many days.😞 Be gentle with yourself. Do not dismiss the reality of your condition to hide it from yourself or others & allow the best self care you can give yourself to restore your safety and peace. Stay alive! God loves you and has a plan for your life. You are not alone.🌻
Yeesh, this is familiar. My freshman year of college I was bedridden during spring-break, sobbing and begging not to go back. I tried to push through and ended up wasting thousands of dollars just to completely burn out. I'm starting to feel something similar at my current job, and I'm afraid I might burn out again, but I don't know what to do. I need a job, and starting a job-search will just make me feel worse, plus there's no telling whether a new job will be any better.
Thank you so much for this video! It help me a lot at understanding my friend! I really am grateful for your guys’ video since it helps me understand my friends more and more! Please continue your great and fantastic work!😄
That’s honestly so nice of you, not just thinking about yourself
Thank you, you guys are always so so helpful when it comes to understanding and spotting behaviors within myself and what to do about them. I fr didn't know about express depression tiredness before this. Watching from Colorado btw!! :)
Thank you, I needed to hear that. *Crying my eyes out*
This DOES describe me now. Thanks a lot for sharing... now I can verbalise this.
It's the constant to and fro that gets me. There are good days, there are awesome days. But depression is always just around the corner and creeps up on me regularly. And at that moment I always feel helpless and as if all that struggle is no use.
Wow... this was uploaded just at the right time...
Ive been dealing with depression, but lately gotten better at maintaining my house chores (stay at home mom), but its hard to do things when there's so much going on in my mind and sadness and tiredness that i cant quite understand and explain... through out the day i end up just curling in a ball and falling asleep because its so overwhelming that i dont get things done... and im back up again trying to finally finish and shove aside what im going through. I started to think if this depression was my fault. then hopelessness and more sadness and dissapointment of myself... but im a mom and a wife and have responsibilities and too harsh expectations on myself... so i set aside my thoughts and feelings again so i can get back up and do things... but doing those things are so hard when it shouldnt be... then i go through the cycle again...
This is what I've been feeling lately. I don't know what to do with my life and I think I don't have a purpose. Maybe watching this (and absorbing this) is the first step towards knowing myself and what should I do to address and organize what I've been feeling lately.
I've had depression for more than 15 years by now, with slowly increasing degrees of severity over time, and I'm well aware of all the things and people that make me feel like this, yet I can't do anything to stop it. It's a chain of issues that tie me to this state and it won't end until everyone I'm close with passes away... only then I'll feel free to start a change, but idk if I'll resist the emotional impact that comes from that.
And no, professional help didn't help me at all. Over 2 years of treatment with different psychologists and psychiatrists + hundreds of pills ended up being just a waste of money.
Maybe that's ignorant or easy for me to say, but.. you can cut ties with ANYONE. You don't owe a single person anything. Move to a different country if you have to. Don't let other people dictate your emotional wellbeing.
@@Goldy01 I get what you mean, it's a general advice that people tend to give which would help those that have the means and courage to make the decision, but it's not that easy for everyone... especially when your entire self is a total mess and the only thing you can do and makes you feel a little better is knowing that you're helping or making relatively happy those that you know, even if it means getting stuck in a bad environment and getting worse over time.
Buy some phenibuit. Its legal.
this describes really well. And I can't get professional help things like that aren't available where I live. Because of this, I wanted to get a psychology degree so that I can help others in my country and spread awareness that mental illness is a huge issue and it can really affect your day-to-day life, but because of depression tiredness I am unable to do literally anything. Everything feels like a chore except for wasting time on the internet doing nothing for some fucking reason.
Ive been waiting on a video like this, it's one of the hardest things that comes with depression and almost impossible to explain.
these videos really help me to understand my mental illnesses, thank you 💗
i ain't suicidal, but i sometimes wish i could fall asleep forever and be in a lucid dream state.
because id honestly prefer sleeping forever over death
I'm there with you.
My medicine doesn't even help
That's exactly what I'm experiencing RIGHT NOW
Yes! Exhausted from the thoughts. Drained..
Hello from Jacksonville, Florida. This video really gives a very good description of how I feel a lot of the time. Anxiety also makes me feel tired. My psychiatrist told me a few years ago that a lot of my fatigue is from anxiety. Depression and anxiety together suck a lot of the joy out of life. So I make an effort to look for even tiny good moments during the day. Snuggles from my dogs and my bird help!
thank you for helping me to understand myself better, ily
Why does this channel seem to put out videos that target exactly what I’d been going through but couldn’t put a label on it, always at the exact right time
This makes explaining things To my parents 10X easier thank you. I’m defo subscribing after watching this
Thank you for putting words to this. It can be hard to explain.
You deserve way better than what you settled for.
It just makes me feel like I’m constantly on 1%. No matter how many extra hours of sleep I get, I’m a zombie at the best of times.
It kind of feels like everyone I know has been experiencing this since the pandemic began.
Completely relatable. Lots of love
Thank you for this video.
Ya, right...good luck getting loving support.
this helped me realize that this is EXACTLY what i have. i have, thank you for clearly explaining this. i hope i can get better.
Thanks for these very relatable vids
Just great, these last two videos have described my life.
I feel this everyday, thanks for covering it
To anyone who has gotten over the depression hump, like me, good job! I have felt all four of these symptoms at one time or another. I pray that anyone who's willing to take the time to watch these videos can walk away from good encouragement. Just remember, the best encouragement always comes from God, and He put every human emotion in the Psalms, so if you've got a Bible and feeling depressed, might want to flip over to Psalms 139.....
That Awkward Moment - When everyone is laughing and you're like 'What just happened?'
This video made me realize I have depression tiredness, not being crazy
I literally felt this last weekend, and number one hit really close to home. The accuracy here is truly frightening honestly.
I've been working a lot more lately and it's been feeling like that all I do and am good for is work, and if I don't do work, I feel like I'm procrastinating and being lazy.
Can relate to this
Same except I don’t have a job and am in high school so during the summer I just feel constantly drained and like I am wasting my time yet feeling to tired to do anything
I find it important to point out, that an extensive feeling of exhaustion and tiredness can also be the cause of physical conditions. I used to sleep a lot, when I was a teen, since it was my way of escaping the weight of reality and depression. Therefore I used to connect increased tiredness and exhaustion with the possibility of my depression getting back up again. In 2020 I experienced increasingly strong exhaustion, that went that far that I slept 15 hours a day in the end. I had an existential crisis at the same time and feeling so exhausted made me think it was a sign of my depression, which in turn worsened the experience of depression. When I finally made a step to the doctor he got some blood samples from me to check for physical conditions and it turned out, that I had a huge lack of iron, close to an anemia and that actually made me feel tired and exhausted all day, cause my blood couldn't bring enough oxygen to my body and my brain anymore. The simple act of taking iron pills removed the fog and exhaustion I experienced and therefore led to a rapid improve in my mental wellbeing as well.
So, if you think your tiredness might be due to mental issues, make sure to check for physical issues first! Expecting mental issues due to perceived exhaustion and tiredness may actually make them true, when they were not the reason in the first place! :)
Thank you for finally explaining this confusing symtom.
This explains so much on why the last 2 years have been difficult for me my mental health was declining my girlfriend was the one smile I wasn’t faking but she took this as me not caring about either of us.
I have this a lot but there was one time I literally couldn’t get out of my bed for a week and my step dad barges in(I was a teen at the time) and says that if I don’t come out of my room now that he would call an institution(yes he said institution and I will never forget it). I was so viscerally angry I wanted to take my car out for a bit. He then took my keys and said I couldn’t drive like that- mind you he goes on angry drives whenever he feels like it. So I walked out the door and turned my phone off. To keep the peace I returned and made up some bs excuse but I’m still mad that I didn’t tell him exactly what I thought of him in that moment. I would 100% go back and describe to him just how hard living was at that moment in excruciating detail. As fcked up as it may sound I sincerely wish I used my words to tear him down at that moment because I know I could and I would know what to say to hurt him the most but it was the last trust straw I had with him at that point and he took it and shredded it. Yet I had to apologize and I had to put the act up again. I’m still so upset about it I’m about to start angry crying.
Thank you for letting me know what I'm going through
I had this going on for a month a few years ago, and again early this year
This describes what I was going thru exactly
I found this video so relatable! I did not used to act lazy or a procrastinate, but now I feel like I've never met anyone worse. Everyone, except for my best friend, just thinks I'm lazy, even though they know and believe I am suffering from depression. That makes everything feel so much worse.
I don’t like how I feel ever, but I smile so the people around me are not affected
I've suffered from Depression for about 30 (of my nearly 39) years, with the last 20 consistently being severe.
From my personal experience, I can say that the points this video makes/covers are Absolutely Spot-On!
Thank You For This Video! Whether someone is, or knows someone who is suffering from Depression, this is information More people need to Know & Understand.
I can't really convey what it's like when someone Invalidates your Pain and Struggle, simply because they're ignorant to what you're going through.
Educational Content - Like This Video - Is Invaluable! ❤️
3 years nonstop mentally and physically drained.
Thank the most high I made it to the other side. Now you realize that the world is not what it seems to be. You let go of all the attachment. No more stressing over meaningless stuff.
It’s like your soul is at peace. You tend to live in the present time you don’t worry about the future. The pass is gone never to return. You just live your life. The best that you can and give thanks she’ll gratitude whether is good or bad. Life is different. I have coming through depression and anxiety. Much love to all of you that are fighting. This battle resilience is the key and in time you would make it to the other side, peace love and happiness. God bless.
Talk text so forgive me! lol 😂 After going back and reading what I posted I was like NO I didn’t say that. But I know you guys will figure it out much love Peace.
After reading some comments I feel relieved because I m not alone who feels like this ...... but still it's to much to handle 😮💨
This video came at the perfect time. Going through this right now. I’m exhausted all the time no matter how much I sleep. Little interest in eating or doing anything really. Even things like taking a shower feels like a lot of work. It’s miserable.
Right now going through this.... and it's killing me.
U r not alone. I feel the same way.
Putting up a front as a hostess constantly wore me out, especially on busy days. I had to quit for a lower paying retail job. I still get worn out, but not as badly as before.
Definitely felt this big time during lockdown
I have been in a cycle of not getting anything done. We moved almost two years ago and things are not put away or organized. I don’t have any hobbies or do anything but get out of bed, to go work, come home and get back into bed. I’ll do things like dishes and laundry but only when I have no clean clothes left or no more silverware and I’m not putting my clean items away. Everything feels so overwhelming and exhausting. I used to never be like this. The fact that I’m not who I used to be also sends me into a deeper depression and sadness.
Everytime I ask my mom to help me get therapy she makes me feel selfish for even asking, she makes me regret ever asking anyone for help. 4:34 AM here in the Midwestern United States.
Why are you depressed?
@Bhumika Roy Loneliness. I live in a small town where all of my friends decided to either move away or go to college so I have no one to hang out with.
@@somethingedgy2185 Do you have their contact? You can sometimes text or call them.
Or you can also chat with me, whenever you feel lonely 🙂
Why is this so relatable?
"small things feels impossible"
SPEAKING THE DAMN TRUTH
Thank you for the english subtitles
Man, number 2 and 3 hit me like a hammer!
I feel like I'm the favorite child. I honestly don't like it. It feels unfair and it ends up with me just resenting my parents.
If you could make a video about something like that, like about the bad things about being the favorite, how to tell if you're the favorite, and the way being the favorite would affect your childhood, I would really appreciate it.
FINALLY I found the reason why I have absolutely no energy every day! It makes so much sense now!
Thank you so much… you have no idea how much this has helped cleared things up with myself. My brother constantly belittles me or calls me lazy when I say I’m tired or don’t do what I need to do like dishes. He’s always saying what are you tired for, you don’t do anything all day.
He says I’m using my mental health as an excuse to not do anything. And says I’m playing victim. I’m upset because literally today he made a mean comment on how everyone has to tiptop around my feelings. God forbid someone tells me something and I cry. I’m like wtfff you mean. I didn’t say anything in return because I hate conflict. It gives me a lot of anxiety. Please don’t get me wrong. I do my best to clean after myself. Most days I feel mentally drained so I ask my fiancé to help me. Then my brother likes to make me feel guilty saying I’m treating my fiancé as a slave for helping me clean or cleaning by himself . Like
what???
My fiancé understands me and never complains and I also ask him if he’s ok with helping me/ he knows I would never use him to do stuff for him so we are good in that department but my brother just makes me feel like shit… he knows what I’ve struggled with and he does all that. It bothers me to the point where I feel like I’m gonna snap and it scares me.
Also I told him if he is bothered by things that I do that annoys him to just talk to me about it.
His excuse is
“Why? It’s not like it’s gonna change anything. You don’t even bother changing. Just make excuses “”
This hurts so much.
We are supposed to be siblings. Best friends even…but he gas lights me and makes me
Feel awful at times.
It’s so odd because we get along so well but sometimes our atmosphere changes when I annoy him. And I feel like I’m the one walking on eggshells shells.
I feel like he needs help too. He’s going through a lot and have been through a lot but I don’t think he sees himself as someone with mental health problems. He works at the hospital btw and has worked with patients with mental illness… so why treat me this way? I hate it it
Tbh, one thing that's always on my mind whenever I watch these videos is "What if I can't get professional help?"
(But I still love what this channel does 🧡)
It's expensive and definitely not accessible everywhere, so I feel ya..
There are some really good resources on youtube like the channel "Therapy in a Nutshell" and others, might wanna look into that, and apply the applicable to your situation.
Its 22:27 now in germany. I feel like this since early childhood but never got any help till i turned 38 and stoped „existing“ too. Thats when i finally got help. I still feel drained all the time and was certain that im just lazy. Thats what i have always been accused of.
30 years of beeing bullied for being sick. By others and myself….
During theraphy my doctors told me: „would you tell someone with no legs to go, standup and walk? No? Why do you expect that from yourself? You are not fit, so you cannot do what others can do. Accept that“
And that helped. The majority of ppl i talked to still dont understand. Mental struggles need more awareness like this video.
Thank you guys for doing an amazing job
I deal with these things almost constantly. Luckily, my therapist is helping a lot
Thank you i will bring about a change, as i didnt realize what i have is depression
Everyday man...it really affects everything from my relationships,to my grades to my work and of course myself.
Currently going through an episode and it's so draining.
Damn this one cut deep 😅 🙃
This video talks about me. I thought I don't have depression but now I don't know anymore.
I genuinely feel like this for a few weeks already, I don’t know why
I used to have this feeling a lot and surprisingly I wasn’t scared to reach out. But now, I don’t get the point of reaching out anymore. People are filled with their own problems and most haven’t experienced my inner or complex feelings.
Especially at a younger age, adults laugh it off and say “oh it’s puberty you will get over it/you’re pretending”. So it makes it harder because one tries to deal with those feelings and not seem like an attention seeker at the same time.
And they sometimes contribute to their own adult problems and say it’s worse. Well I get it… but it’s really off topic since one can be a lot younger without work and financial experiences and cannot handle that kind of stuff.
I still think they would deserve help because feeling that way is absolutely bothersome and shitty.
I sometimes hate these feelings but at the same time I’m in love with how complex it is and how simple it seems to me because I’m the only one who knows what’s in my mind. Complaining about problems may be corny, but reaching out to ur close and trusted ones wouldn’t be.
Anywhoo, back into reality, happiness can be temporary and u sometimes may face hardship in life. You can only try to solve it and feel proud of yourself for taking a step ahead.
So that's what I got... it explains a lot actually.

This happens with burnout too as I'm sure everyone here knows.
I've had depression my whole life and burnout all of 2021 and first few months this year 2022. I'm here to offer hope.
I've had good and bad therapists, good and bad meds, bad and good friends, bad and good bosses. Currently I have devil boss, great therapist, meds that work and pretty ok friends.
Battling depression and burnout at the same time almost beat me. Isolation was the poison that prevented any hope of recovery. Or so it seemed. So I eventually was able to break through the depression and brain fog. But I had developed real chronic fatigue. It was scarier that depression for me. On my worst depression day I was still able to fake it if I had to. But this fatigue monster wouldn't let up.
My therapist encouraged me to watch funny movies and give it time. I was so scared that she didn't have a solution. I decided to try chewable red ginseng because I knew it's being studied as a possible treatment for fatigue. Not for depression. I tripled the amount of water I was drinking, went plant based diet, pulled the plug on toxic friends and social media. And I listened to Gregorian chants and inspiring youtube videos while I did situps.
What worked? Who knows but my fatigue is gone. I still feel delicate but I'll take it. Throw everything you have at this monster.
For Lord of the Rings fans - blow the horn and ride out to face the enemy. Never give up! Oh and I wrote that on my walls. Everywhere.
This sucks. But it can be defeated and I'm ready if it comes back. Peace to all of you and I mean it. We're in this together.
This is so true
Even the voice of the speaking
Helps to cure depression
Why this is totally me rn
OCD, panic disorder, depression, asthma, spondylitis and what not
I don't know if I'm only here to suffer from these diseases and shit...
I don't wanna even exist
My brother was bullied me for over something so small recently. I don't want to complain to my parents about it because I don't want they will say that I'm too sensitive. Every day I stay inside my bedroom and don't want to socialize with anyone.
Do you want to share anything? Why did your brother bully you? 🙁
@@bhumikaroy2739 actually, no. I don't want to talk about it.thanks for caring.
@@NAM-dc1dc Ok, I understand. But, I hope you get better 🙏🏻
@@bhumikaroy2739 thanks again
This video is literally my life
