  • Some people with depression might always look sad or cry a lot or never be happy. But the truth is, there are a lot more layers to depression than we think. Hidden depression is just one of these many presentations, and those who have it may be conditioned to act in protection of their symptoms and habits that allow them to continue hiding their depression. This video will help you learn about few things hidden depression makes you do.
    Some people might even mistake depression for laziness. To raise awareness, we also made a video on the signs you're depressed, not lazy: • 6 Signs You're Depress...

    I'm crying so, so hard while I'm watching this. It explained how I feel so accurately. I really wish I could talk to someone about this and get diagnosed, but I can't bring myself to talk about my emotions at all. It does feel better to see that I'm not alone, although I'm sorry to anyone else feeling this way.

      Ask your pcp about a therapist to talk to because it really does help!! You will learn coping skills, why you feel the way you do and how to deal with those feelings. Because, that’s what we do , push the feelings down because it hurts too much or we don’t know what to do with them and at some point in your life, and trust me on this, you will have a major event happen and then your world will come crushing down!! You will have no choice but to deal with the feelings and so much more at that point!! It really is important for you to start therapy now . Not trying to scare you I just don’t want anyone to go through what it did. Best of luck and much love 💚 ; if you have any questions I’m here

    As someone who has all symptoms mentioned in this video, I want to tell you one thing you got wrong. It doesn't happen suddenly. To me it's been happening for four years already slowly getting worse.
    I'm better now, watching your channel and slowly trying to put myself back together. I don't think I will go to a doctor. At first I wanna try to do it on my own.
    Thank you so much for your content. It is a life saver.

      Seeing a doctor doesnt mean you'll be put on meds unless you want to or that you are so deep that is the only current "quick fix"
      i was so scared to go see doctors or therapist because i believed they would try to put me on meds but in the end they didnt because i don't wanted to. Maybe in other country it's different but at least in france or for me that's how it went and i'm glad i went to see one... they actually found that i have ADHD which explain a lot of other shit and now i'm trying to get on my feet, without meds but with better habits and a stronger will

    • @ericcoverdale9523

      Also, seeing a doctor will only help IF you share EVERYTHING you are dealing with. I was always worried about what they might think of me, so I barely broke the service and failed to share what was truly happening to me.
      I write a lot of short stories and poems, for the moment they are helping me get through each day. Baby steps.

      Yeah actually If u have realised it that you are going through it then I will suggest u to go to doctor immediately as you might end up making few mistakes in relationships and the relationship u have. So, I will rather suggest u to go there as I tried to fix it on my own but I realised I missed so much of myself after a few time and it has become more worst. So don't do this mistake if u want your relationships to be better with yourself and loved ones. Thank u

    I relate to the "asking for help and immediately covering it up" sign. when I told mom she said I'm fine and I don't need to go to anyone so I gave up on trying. I was able to tell about my problems to my friends, but they're not able to help me. I tried to go to our school therapist for a month now, but every time I tried to go to her I just... Couldn't. My mind told me that "your problems are irrelevant so don't waste her time" or "it's nothing, you can deal with it by yourself" so I don't go. I know I need help, but I just can't tell any professionals my problems. It's like there's some sort of a web between me and the people that can help me that won't let me through and I'm sick of it

      Same. I had a mental breakdown back in 7th grade and told my dad I wanted to kill myself after he threatened to have me sent off to a military school because my grades were shit. They have literally never brought it up again, and nothing has changed about it. My dad still has his gun safe open close to 75% of the time, and nearly everything in there is loaded (I’ve checked :) ), and when it is closed there are times I just walk up to it and wish I knew the combination. It feels like they don’t care at all when I try to get help and they ignore it. I brought up the fact that I might have problems after telling my diagnosed friends about my symptoms since I have no way to truly know. Even after all of that, my parents refuse to let me get checked out for anything, and I don’t really tell them anything about my feelings or what I’m going through since they just ignore it.

      Please don't give up. There are ways to get through this. It may feel like you're the only one that has gone through this and that you're insufficient in handling this but unfortunately it's been experienced by humans throughout history. It's very hard, but the life often is. I would recommend you talk to someone, possibly a school counselor. They're familiar with depression and probably have coping techniques or may be able to refer you to better help. Life is worth living, even if some days don't feel like it. Please try and seek help. At the very least, research it on the internet. It can explain how depression works, coping techniques and that you're not alone in dealing with it. You are no more less than, than if you were diabetic, had high blood pressure, needed glasses,ect. Our bodies are often imperfect, but that shouldn't define you. We just learn to compensate for the things that are less perfect. I'll bet you have a heart for those who struggle in this world. A compassion. Hang in there. You Can get through this. 🫂

      That feeling really sucks as it may make you feel unloved or as if your feelings have been glossed over, it’s a trashy feeling and nobody deserves to have to feel that way. Just know that you are loved and that they care for you, even if they aren’t good at showing it Ûvû as a stranger and an mha fan, I genuinely hope you feel better soon and even though it’s hard to talk to people about it, keeping those feelings bottled up aren’t good either. If these people are worth keeping around you, then they’ll recognize you’re in pain and do their best to ease your sadness. It’s okay to cry :)

The ones that are happy and show it are the ones with the mental problem and are clueless. The depressed ones are the ones with some sort of grasp on reality. Life really does suck.

I wish when influencers or activists talk about mental illness to also talk about how much bad parenting affects. You can put a post asking if they grew up with any type of abuse from their parents there would be hundreds and thousands of people who would comment. Sometimes I think parents have a privilege when we say that they are abusing us to other people. Everybody I talked to about my abuse from parents never took it seriously and they tell me that they are "disciplining" me. It concerns me about this generation.

    It's been a few years since my first diagnosis with depression. At the time, I was told to take more vitamin D and was given free sessions with a psychiatrist- I went to a school for disabled people during this point of time and the psychologist there was helpful, but being there made me uncomfortable at times. I realize that in my current stage of life, what makes my depression worse is actually found in the different behaviors that are listed in this video. My current therapist has been very helpful in more ways than one... Sometimes though, I go through periods of not talking to him as much as I should, thinking that I can handle my problems on my own.

Seek out for professional help to talk. Parent's are probably not the best option for helping you. Because the relationship with parents is often a big part of the issue in the first place. You are your own person. Your own feelings and needs. And you are the one who have to do something about it if you want a change. Take good care of yourself. You are not alone.

    One thing I like to remember is that G_D created the world in 7 days, but spent 9 months making me perfect. It's the same with all of you.
    I've battled depression for most of my life, now I know it's ok not to be ok every day. Now I choose to seek out one thing that makes me smile, one small thing that is beautiful. The patterns the frost makes on the car, the way the leaves have little frosty spikes......my dog....there are horrible people, horrible events, horrible situations, but there is also beauty.
    Choose life.

    1) Your sleeping pattern has changed - oversleeping or undersleeping.
    2) Your eating habits have changed.
    3) You become self-critical and put pressure on yourself.
    4) You experience intense emotions.
    5) You struggle to express painful emotions and stay in-denial of symptoms.
    6) You become obsessed with philosophy and purpose (questioning your purpose and meaning of life).
    7) Becoming uninterested in things you used to enjoy.
    8) You cry out for help and struggle to admit your symptoms and you make excuses.
    9) You struggle with intimacy and care for yourself.
    10) You focus on too much on having gratitude and invalidating negative emotions.
    11) You compartmentalise your feelings to "deal with later" or "never".

    I recently got diagnosed with Mayor depressive disorder and it has been a roller coaster before and after. Before getting diagnosed I didn’t know it was that bad until it got worst. I was convinced that I didn’t had to get help. I have always been scared to go get help. It was so hard to be vulnerable and talk how I really feel. Decided to go to the college psychologist and I cried in every session, I was (am) all over the place. After a few sessions she suggested a psychiatric evaluation. And here I am, the only people who knows are my boyfriend and sister. I have lost the few friend I had, it affected my college grades, my social life, everything. Today I started my medications after having them and not having the courage to accept that I needed them.

      I'm sorry. I am older and I have discovered that I had to learn to mother myself. I say the things to myself that I wish my mom would say to me. It's hard to do at first and you feel silly, but it is really helpful long term. Also, I have found for me that some women, usually ones who never had children, but who mothered me during various stages of my life. These "mothers" are awesome.

If only they knew what it's like to be a student in 2021.. Maybe they would have known how hard life gets for us too

      My mom says she knows everything about me and she doesn’t even know my favorite color. My life isn’t a big happy rainbow. I spent most of my days alone because everyone is always busy and they never have time for me. Then she says the phone is isolating me. Then she says my sadness is from puberty. That doesn’t even add up.

    Its so important to aknowledge other peoples feelings if they admit to being depressed.. Ive been so good at hiding it and always see the positive and have reacted that to others before, and also if I have admitted it myself to someone, its the same thing, or a simple; I've seen you've been down lately, snap out of it! I just really wanna be heard and understood and comforted. Im tired of being strong and always thinking positive.. so glad that that was one of the points here😊

    My best friend has depression, she does not talk about her feelings or when she does she laughs/smile with nervosity. I always new she was not feeling good and now that she was diagnosed it help so much to understand her and help her. She does everything in this video everyday, all the time, and I just hope that she'll be able to recover, it must be so hard but you can all do it, overcome it in some ways I'm sure. You are worth it and LOVED and most of the time you don't realize it, but its true. No I can't know how hard it must be, and I'll never know, (hope) but I'm still sure that you can do it, you reading this. I mut stop or I'm gonna cry and write an essay ^^' but yes, I believe in her, and I'll always be there cause that's what friends do right ? :D

      to the people who disagree with this, it doesn't mean neglecting and bottling up emotions. It's true, you cant cover up actual depression and expect it to go away like that. It's more like stopping the never-ending path of overthinking problems that seem unsolvable at the moment. We are more than just broken people with problems and mistakes, so defining ourselves that way only makes it worse because you believe it.

    i really like this channel. the animations are nice and the voice is really relaxing. and the content is really good. and i think the disclaimer at the beginning is really good and important. videos like these should not encourage people to diagnose them selfs but to think if they maybe got a problem and to support them to search for help. and about this video: im getting really sad while i watch it becouse i can identify myself with almost every aspect. im going to therapy and i think it helps a lot and sometimes its even fun. but most if the time its work but thats ok. youve got to work on stuff so things get better. but what i initially wanted to say is that i learned a lot about my self and my own patterns. i think knowing and realizing these things will help me to express myself better in therapy. and it feels really nice to see that there are people out there who feel the same and that there are people who know how it feels or at least try to. and this feels really great because i think everyone struggleing with depression or most other mental illnesses feels alone a lot of the time. thanks for these videos. try to fight to get better because everyone has the right to feel good. and never loose hope guys.
