Not long after Kyle sought treatment for his Depression, he realized that he was a gay man and tried to cover it up for over a decade. In this conversation, Kyle shares how he felt living with Depression at a much younger age than normally diagnosed, owning his sexuality and how he maintains his mental health today!

    9:26 am PT5/22. Thank you ! I was sexually abused in my early childhood. Nobody knew until my 18 or 20. I’m 76. I went many years without a diagnosis. At 37, I started my walk as a Christian and years later, I got regular treatment for depression. I firmly believe in getting help and I’m against of the concept: if you are a Christian, you should not be depress. The same way doctors help with physical wounds, other doctors help with mental health!

      Not just Christians. Nobody should be depressed

    Thank you for this, it’s so validating. It’s like you’re telling my exact story with depression. We have the exact same circumstances and the exact same challenges with depression! Very healing ✨

    I'm 35 a mom of two. I am physically happy of what i have become but deep inside I am very sad. I feel pity of myself doing everything for everybody (family). Kids still young 6 and 3. I don't know what is this inside me. We are not broke i have my salary that can compensate the needs of my kids but what is this is in me that feels pitying my whole being. I just wanted to feel loved. I just wanted to feel special to the people loved most. But how can i deal with this because if i will tell my husband he will just laugh at me. I did everything to achieved what i have become. All i wanted is to fell loved. I wanted them to tell me that i am loved. Im so tired.

    I used to like MedCircle because of its content, now I like it more because I have much empathy for Kyle. Good job!

    This was SOOO valuable!!! My therapist has been telling me I have depression and I didn't understand what I was saying or doing that made her think that. Now I get it. The lottery story made me get it. THANKS!!

    OMG. I don't know what caused me to visit this interview today, but OMG. Thank you both. Hey, guess what! I'm a polyphasic sleeper! LOL Among other things.
    On the subject of BPD's acceptance: I have a concern that it's the 'in' thing now, like ADHD was 10-20 years ago. Defense attorneys blame BPD for murders (I really hope their clients were fully evaluated), school counselors blame it for miscreant students, TV writers use it as a convenient plot device to wrap up complicated storylines. I've had a number of friends in my life who really did and do deal with BPD every day. It's not easy, simple or benign. It ravages lives. Hearing a circle of 13-YOs chatting about BPD like it's an allergy really worries me because I think it's a convenient catchall when the insurance runs out.
    Jackie, you have a new follower!

    There is nothing like the feeling of hopelessness and helplessness. Mindfulness meditation helped a lot. The workbook "30 Days to Reduce Depression" by Daniels was a good starting point.

    I study from medcircle video of youtube that having anti psychotic drugs after a parent's death is just for a low period of time. For limited time then after grieve over then drugs could be stopped.

    OMG, those blue circles you keep flashing when a change of the screen happens, are driving me nuts! Whoever is the editor of this depression video needs to be fired!!! I suffer from major depressive disorder, and this is making it worse!

    I'm sorry but that woman's voice is definitely not conducive to a talk about mental health 😮

    • @Xavierhanacki

      Yeah I couldn’t stand her facial expressions and interruption’s

    Depression being compared to that darkness black thing it's just so so true
    And I am sorry but host was a little over expressive ( too much over acting and too much enthusiastic)

    • @molly5262
      @molly5262 Před rokem +1

      Agree! Jackie, the host, I’d extremely annoying to watch. Way over the top with her expressions, little comments/noises, etc. She really needs to see these comments and stop!!!!

    • @JustDebz
      @JustDebz Před 11 měsíci +2

      It was a little lively, but maybe that’s the mode she needs to be in to be able to do this.

    • @ManaSahaya

    • @assyrianrelief
      @assyrianrelief Před 10 měsíci

      Yes, her over reacting is annoying. Agreed.
