Signs Of High Functioning Depression You Shouldn't Ignore | BetterHelp

- High Functioning Depression is also known as Dysthymia and it differs from Depression. While Depression is a severe mental illness that impacts a person’s quality of life to the point where they can barely function, Dysthymia is more subtle than that. Someone who suffers from depression isolates from friends and family and stops engaging in things that they used to enjoy. At its worst, depression can lead a person to end one’s life.
Dysthymia or High Functioning relationships manifests differently than Major Depressive Disorder for example. People with this condition often blend in and don’t appear to be in distress. A person with dysthymia is often high achieving and can maintain healthy relationships. An individual suffering from this condition may not appear unwell, which makes it difficult to get them the help that they desperately need.
People with High Functioning Depression often feel a sense of malaise or subtle sadness that doesn’t seem to have an origin. They may feel chronically tired or find themselves working overtime to avoid their feelings. Individuals with dysthymia can sometimes be perfectionistic and have trouble letting go when things don’t go their way. They might now know why they’re having these feelings, but it could be High Functioning Depression, and it’s crucial to find help for this condition.
Stigma is pervasive when it comes to seeking mental health treatment for some people, and particularly those with High Functioning Depression. They may see their symptoms as “weakness,” which makes them reticent to seek out therapy when counseling could help them.
If you think you’re dealing with High Functioning Depression, don’t second guess yourself. You can work with a therapist and get help managing this legitimate mental health issue.

Telling people how lost and forgotten you feel tends to drive them away. I learned to keep these thoughts to myself.
Depression is my normal way of living. Happiness is purely accidental. I don't expect anyone to understand me, but I don't expect someone to judge me either.
Being diagnosed with Dysthymia, one of the things I find myself struggling with that wasn't mentioned here is feeling like you're not sick enough. Almost feeling like you're a poser asking for help while other people are depressed to the point of being bed bound.
Unless that's just me idk. With multiple conditions I don't know what is coming from what.
Hello random person who's watching this video. You are not alone
ty
Love you too.
I am in. I feel life is useless.
burgerpatty: that brought tears to my eyes. Thank you 🙏
Hi, glad I am not!!!
What if your depression didn't "start"?
By that, I mean, what if you cannot remember feeling any other way than sad?
That is generally me. Had depression for as long as I can remember.
Me too. I had a summers that would get better but I never got to happy life. It over 4 times worse now. It's hard for me to fall asleep and stay asleep than wake up late too
wow... yes that is something Ive always thought about.
Depression and anxiety can affect your memory as well.
It may be that you can remember, but it's just easier not to.
When the time is right.
Everyone thinks I have my stuff together not realizing I'm falling apart...
Same I don't know why but I'm considered so smart put together and someone another would want to be like I feel like I'm falling apart at the seams with stress and a weird kind of boredom I feel fake
Same
Sonja Teal dude me too.
@@lay-iu2jn a weird kind of boredom . . . That line hit me . . . It's a heavy sickish empty feeling isn't it . . .
Where's the "love" button?
It feels like you're on fire and running on a treadmill. You have to keep going, even though you're in pain.
is it bad that that sounds like fun?
I would just get off the treadmill. Maybe if I had to run to save my kid or something, but was on fire, then I'd really have to keep going and fight through the pain.
And you never seem to get anywhere
Perfect analogy!
Exactly
Me *thinks I have a lot of these symptoms*
Also me: But do you really? What if you’re reading your emotions wrong?
This
Thank you for this
Anxiety
Omg so true
I'm in treatment, and i still have this, you're not reading your emotions wrong
Depression can hit anyone. Be nice, even if they're not nice to you
Fuhrer Oi I am nice to every one ^~^
I try to be but when ppl push and push you have to let it out
Thats a one way road to depression. If someone hurts you, if you dont fight back you'll just get depressed.
Always show respect! BUT ALWAYS! Call someone out for bad behaviour... the people who understand and change bad behaviour are the people worth your time. Took me long time to realise that letting people treat me like shit was destroying me! Please show yourself respect and don't put up with people like that! It takes practice, but the more you do it, the easier and gets.... learning self defence can be a great confidence builder as well as improving your health!
At any age! But with me, all my life. I learned to put on the "facade" at a very young age.
one of the most painful things is when people ask you why you're upset and you cant even begin to know yourself
Its incredibly hurtful and frustrating when it took you YEARS to finally reach out for help only to be told that you "function way too good to be depressed"
"Oh you manage to wake up and go to work? lol you aint depressed at all, go home"
psychotherapist told me the same thing when I came to get help. She diagonsed me with neurosis and prescribed me some useless meds. Cool.
Holding your breath all day, to come home at night to gasp for air while crying
Had it since I was 21 .. 46 now and it’s so tiring, on ongoing battle which i won’t let beat me, I have felt suicidal many times but what would that gain???... I’m scared of dying and living, I’m stuck in between and worry constantly and am lonely in a crowd of friends, it’s horrible.
Never heard this worded any better
Damn, this hit the nail on the head for me
Sounds all too familiar, personally speaking
I’m the same, also 46 and so tired of everything, but nobody would know, they think I always look happy but deep inside I’m suicidal. I never knew what my problem was as I have always felt like this since I was a child but I went to therapy and I got diagnosed. I don’t think this will ever go away, 😓...
William Khoury me too
“losing yourself in hours of television”
*me sat here staring at the screen caught red handed binging for over 5 hours”
happens to me all the time. Time just flies by and the days melt together. I’ll be on my phone one second, check the time and like 4 hours have gone by. It’s annoying tbh
This is too relatable
I can totally relate to this.
5 hours
Try months. I've been on youtube since the quarantine.
Nothing is worth doing anymore. I wake up just to watch other people achieve things I can never hope to even do.
5 hours is rookie numbers. Try 16 hrs everyday, 5 days a week for years. Tv, social media, and video games is how i consume my day.
Whoever is reading this, know you aren’t alone. Don’t stop keep getting up, don’t stop trying.
💗
I have all the symptoms in the u k when l am in s africa i feel happy some times its normal to be depressed
Thank you, sending you a blessings shower!!🌿🌺♥
♥♥♥
Thanks
@@lurchusa1299 I agree with your reality but I haven't always been my own best friend more like a bully. I do think we can be kinder to ourselves. I love me do you love you? 😉 Take care out there, you are special ♡
I have struggled with not wanting to leave the house... I have to make myself do everything. It's such an effort. I just started to take some medicine, so hopefully I will be able to start enjoying life again.
I hardly leave my house and I just lost my mom on 1-23- 2019 so now I just want to sleep eating is even a struggle because now im making food just for me and not my mom
I also can’t leave my house. Every night, I would plan to go to work the following day or to the mall but come the next day, I’d find my self wanting to stay home again. But the whole day I would think of the benefits of going out. Am I crazy? 😔
@@robyxander9760
Nope. Your body wants to stay home.
So just relax and enjoy it.
Phoenix but how can I enjoy if I keep on skipping work and not having salary? :(
foxiefair123 How are you feeling now? Are you feeling better?
it is very hard to explain to anyone how I feel and felt for years. lack of motivation the in-ablily to do the thing i want or have to do. it is like im able talk myself out of doing anything, without words or reason.
Yes!!!!! Exactly.
You have just found some words, seek some professional help...you will find more words to help you and perhaps a language to better describe and communicate. If that is what you truly want. Therapy has helped me tremendously, I have gone off and on from the age of 17 and now I am almost 45. It may take years or it may take a few weeks to notice a difference. However, someone in your life wants better for you and so should you. Best to you, cheers.
Hallo guys. If you need a friend or someone to talk to, I'm here! If you don't want any advice from me or you don't want me to talk, that's fine. I would be more than happy to listen. I want to help 💖
I remember watching videos about depression a few years back and reading comments of people saying "I feel like this every single day and I feel so empty." I thought "Whoa, how is that possible? I wonder what that feels like because I'm only like this a couple times a week." Fast forward to present time and now I'm like "Oh..."
Struggling with one's self (some fatigue) - 6:12
Irritability (easily annoyed) - 6:59
Coping (maladaptive coping tool) - 7:32
Self-doubt (loosely self-aware) - 8:31
Unable to relax - 9:04
Too depressed to pay attention to the video. Gonna go workout and prepare for work and act like everything is fine
AMEN!
That's great your at a point you can get up and go. but I completely know the feeling of not even having the energy to listen to a ubtube video. thats me and that's sad but true
Starts at 5:15
General sense of sadness
Inability to experience joy
Loss of interest in things you loved
Diminished energy
Self criticism/perfectionism
Irritability
Employing use of coping mechanisms
Self doubt
You’re welcome, HF’er👍🏻
Jk. That’s not funny 🤦🏼♀️
Thank you. I was looking for this. lol
Thank god
Wait you mean that's not how you are supposed to feel? Oh man
I laughed 😊
Thanksss friend
Lethargy, a sense of just being "frozen".
LM Djnchen I agree
Perfect description of what I'm going thru. Something I will be telling the doctor tomorrow, Thanks.
Emotional numbness?
Wanting to hit the pause button...
Patricia Alvarez. Funny how you said that about feeling numb but i feel like that so many times to point i literally don't feel anything, don't care about anything and I know I should feel something but there's nothing just void inside. People ask how I feel or why I am not talking, I have to lie lol don't think people really can understand if i tell them
High Functioning Depression is a major problem today, my friend had a problem with it. He lost interest in everything, but with the help of psychotherapists and family support he managed to recover. Excellent video!
Recover? Since when is this type of depression ever cured? There is no cure for depression, any type, really. We can maybe keep it from getting so bad that it threatens life, so the victim survives, but that's only until the next time. Those who suffer, I believe, are born that way; it's in their DNA, their genetic make up. So it's a way of life if they and others can keep life going.
@Virginia Moss, you said exactly what I was thinking! Recover?? How?!
He clearly had situational depression then. People with clinical depression never recover.
Respect her matching the energy levels of the potential viewers. Really appreciated. Very empathetic vibes. Thank you for this video
"all the world is a stage" some are better actors than others
I have felt empty for so long that i can barely remember how it feels to be happy. I function, I exist, but not much more.
So many of us have ALLOWED society/life to depress us. We need to learn to take back control of our lives. Keep your life simple and keep away from drama and negative people who drain your energy.
I can live a fairly normal life but it's exhausting. I don't have the energy or emotional capacity to do anything more than the bare minimum of a normal life. My apartment is a mess and I have no energy to do anything about it. I feel like it's a physical manifestation of me internally and it's a giant weight on me.
I know EXACTLY what to do in order to make me more productive and successful. I'm just more easily tired and exhausted just doing basic chores. I just can't seem to finish things I used to really excel at, like organizing my home office space. I'm my own worst enemy some days, even though everyone thinks I'm the strongest most calming, self aware person they've known.
Mark Hoppus of Blink-182 couldn't have said it any better in Adam's Song "I can't wait till I get home, so I can pass time in my room alone"
Boxcar racer also a great song called "letters to god"
"Don't let the existential dread set in. Don't Let It Set In."
raised by a parent with severe depression makes/ made it difficult to know what's real/ normal and what wasn't.
The first step is when you're at the door of knowing you have depression. That's the key to start getting help/ getting better/ healing.
It takes vigilance and self awareness not just to recognize the signs and symptoms, but to try and change them. (Getting help, etc) Little by little.
It feels like a constant battle and when your "default" is depression, it feels like you're being pulled back down into the muck, but the little things/ habits can add up and have some positive effects.
I've never met a single human being who doesn't have "something" wrong with them.
nobody's perfect
@@abrahamdoucette Jessica Alba is perfect. #HonestBrands #300mil
john galt dough _capitalism is good! physically. But we’re talking mentally
People will mental disorders have children who obtain mental disorders. It’s a never ending cycle I guess
@@mj-kd9uz yes.
I believe I am experiencing this. Its difficult just to... Be? Existing feels like a chore.
The thing I have found annoying is knowing that we need help as human beings but I didn’t want to go get the help because I knew better than to fall into those symptoms. I’m slowly starting to learn how to express myself once again and I’m looking forward for what is next in life. My ego was not happy to admit I needed help and I was not coping correctly. I hope who ever else looks at this video finds this helpful. I know it’s not easy to get medical help but there is always a way. Remember your life is valuable! You can get help.
Nice to hear someone like yourself describe this illness with compassion in your voice, thank you.
I hope people can begin to understand that it’s very possible to wear a mask and put on a fake show of happiness while depressed. Also great video. A lot of things described are exactly what I’ve gone through in the past and received help for.
I've been depressed and anxious for about 20 years now. It's way better now then in the beginning. What has changed things is building compassion and understanding for myself and the human condition. Seeing other people are suffering too. Surround yourself with kind and compassionate people but most importantly learn to be kind to yourself. Get to know your strengths and weakness. It makes me so sad that we are going through this but together we can change our minds and hearts, little by little. Day by day, congratulate yourself for everything! No matter how small, you think it is! I love you all and wish you all the best!
How refreshing to see someone with deep knowledge about a topic. You clearly are not reading from cards or autocue, yet you are not making those common errors of getting stuck for words or saying something slightly silly. Your knowledge allows you to deliver your topic interestingly and with charisma. Thank you for this important video.
I felt so depressed during when I was around 13-28, and I always tried to say I was depressed but was just told depressed people can't get out of bed. I wish I knew this existed sooner.
3:50 She *perfectly* nailed the comments that make so many feel ashamed getting help. I've heard all of these at one time or another and it makes you want to hide yourself from the world and deny that anything is wrong.
Excellent content. I do feel less lonely now, as an ex-addict i´ve learnt how to cope and hide my chronic depression under the mask of a busy, healthy and successful life.
But rarely a day goes by that i don´t feel deeply fed up with being alive.
Thanks for your efforts.
This sounds just like me. I can remember the last time i felt truly happy and i was only 9 years old. After that, I've been struggling ever since. I was happy for a time back when i was engaged years ago. But after that crumbled...well, its gotten worse. Im 23 now. So happiness has been elusive for a long time for me 😞
allyssa nehls ...in an effort to be supportive, uplifting, yet not write a long winded and/or trite response..... Keep on, keeping on! I am 44 and have experienced similar feelings since I was 10-12, I believe I get you on some level. Best to you, cheers...!
Hallo guys. If you need a friend or someone to talk to, I'm here! If you don't want any advice from me or you don't want me to talk, that's fine. I would be more than happy to listen. I want to help 💖
Zilla Zalo great comment
Omg! I have High Functioning Depression! I knew something is weird and not normal. I can relate to literally everything of this disorder. I’m gonna go back to my therapist. Thank you so much for making this video!
I've had chronic illness for 5 years and I am starting to experience this (I used to have major depressive disorder but with meds and therapy I was able to limit it a lot and not have severe episodes.) I think not being able to participate in society and dealing with limitation and pain has finally given me a bleaker outlook. You may think this is a natural reaction to basically being shut out of life, but humans are very adaptable, and I can be fine- not joyful, but fine. It's really surprising when I come out of it and my mind isn't consumed with my failings and the bleakness of my life. I just think about other things, and I'm ok. The saddest thing is when my depression makes me believe I am unable to participate in creative endeavors, that I'm too old, and have no sticking power, and it's a waste of time.
Considering how the world is I would be not be surprised if most people are just hanging on to any hope at all.
What a quite interesting video I've found! People with High Functioning Depression often feel a sense of malaise or subtle sadness that doesn’t seem to have an origin, but they can work with a therapist and get help managing this legitimate mental health issue, though in nowadays going to a therapist means to be criticized by the rest of the people. Thanks for sharing this with us! I'll be looking forward to watch your next videos.
There's a lot from the PTSD camp in here too. Video games was always a heavy distraction for me. Losing interest is a constant fight. But I've been taking stock of my good stuff for a while now.
I went to my doctor to talk about the possibility of having depression because I have a lot, if not all, of these symptoms. She basically told me she didn't believe I was depressed, but she did send me to a psychiatrist to figure it out
We all have mental health, it’s on a sliding scale and something we should all learn how to take care of it. Thank you for sharing this xx
When it is too painful to acknowledge the pain.
When you force your feelings into a box you don't open.
Carefully avoiding all the triggers that bring the flood of memories.
PTSD.
I listen music it helps me to overcome depression
Same. Certain music.
Coronavirus has made this condition so much more interesting.
4 months in lockdown alone, leaving once every 2 weeks for shopping. No friends or anything nearby to pull me out of the house for a walk, everything seems like an insanely big effort. I honestly think this is the worst thing to stop me from having routine to distract me from my issues.
Sacreligious Sausage it’s been 6 months now and I feel the exact same way and it feels so awful, it’s a living hell
Sacreligious Sausage You don't need to wait for friends to take that walk. I don't have a lot of friends locally anymore, and was having those feelings of endless days with no structure. I started taking a nightly walk, and it is unbelievable how that can bring you back to life. Make it a brisk walk, also. Get the blood pumping. So many benefits, from motivation to mental health and physical health. It starts the positive ball rolling. Give it a try, and good luck.
I suffer depression, anxiety and panic attacks. Been in mental hospitals, on meds that don’t work!!!! I don’t want to leave my house, or get out of bed. Always put things off because I don’t want to deal with them. Tired all the time, yet can’t sleep. I was hospitalized a month ago but still haven’t been able to help myself. Don’t know where to go from here. 😭😭
Check out some 'Alan Watts', he has so many talks of interesting stuff that help one understand things. You might like it.
I tried the whim hoff method and it helped me a lot . Look for things that make you happy that you can make money at .
Try magnesium supplement. One of important minerals
I used to have anxiety and panic attacks... always an overwhelming feeling of dying. It was so bad at times, I would physically tense up and have trouble breathing. I would have to pull over thinking it may cause me to pass out. I was on xanex for a while, but it didnt help much. The thing that helped the most was when I had an epiphany and realized I would rather be dead then deal with the severe anxiety. When I got to the point of genuinely not caring if I died, that is when my anxiety went away. I truly submitted to the theory that I was no longer going to worry about what I cannot control, and that whatever happens happens for a reason good or bad and I will deal with it as it comes. The relief and relaxation that came with that was life changing.
Breathing techniques called pranayam relaxes the brain. You can google or try slow deep breathe 30 sec inhale & exhale for 15mins or so..
Depressed or not, gotta keep chugging up that mountain called life... It'll be all worth it when I turn 65 and keep working so I don't end up homeless. At least until the dementia hits.
Also remember this... Those of us with this and Bi Polar have to overcome much more on a daily basis then people without this. This makes us Strong.. Not weak.
Thank you for this video. You've made me finally realize and accept I have dysthymia. Everything you said was on point and all the symptom you mentioned is what I go through. Thank you so much! I'm seeking help now.
Depression is anger without enthusiasm- not my quote though I wish it were. Profoundly insightful and wonderfully presented. Bravo Doc!
I came across this vid randomly. I've never considered what I'm dealing with to be a "thing" but now you're describing me.
Listening to her I somehow felt understood - it is a quite a rare feeling
This is exactly how I feel since the sudden and unexpected death of my beloved brother four months ago. I'm worried because I don't know when normal grief turns into depression.
This video was very nice to see. I have been monitoring the symptoms and my everyday life for a long time. Doing research... This video confirms to me that I might have a deeper problem than I anticipated.
Thank you for all this information. This was very helpful. Have a good day to everyone that happens to read this. You matter!!!!!
Thank you for this page. My family and friends don't believe me, when I tell them that I deal with Depression. I'm trying to start a business, and the stress can leads to depression. Everyday is a Blessing. And, don't give up on your Dreams and Goals.Have Faith in yourself, and Love yourself.
I'm currently going through this as well as other issues. I often feel like I'm about to cry on the inside, but it is only natural and so easy to pretend that I'm happy.
Well spoken on a topic that is so important and, all too often, overlooked... very informative and great video!
Never ignore the clear signs that something is not good, good point girl!
High Functioning Depression can be and should be treated seriously, it could be a big problem, thank you for the informative video darling.
we have bigger problems to deal with at the moment
like animals being endangered and the corona virus
@@abrahamdoucette are you kidding me.. Mental health is a serious thing is millions,and millions of people that struggle with depression, anxiety, every single day. Not to mention thoughts of suicide and people acting on those thoughts and following through which is extremely sad.
.. so yes there are other things going on in the world but I don't know what brought you to this video but obviously you watched it so for you to say that I think is really ignorant..
The actual signs start at 5:10 - everything before it was setup/context.
This was such a fluid, well-paced presentation.
Thank you so much for sharing this. It's important to be mindful of our signs and signals that we're not well. Some call it stoicism, others mindfulness, and others yet just consider it as a part of life. For me however, I love to focus on the positive side. I love positive psychology because it leads keeps us on the road to recovery and instills hope. I hope to see more positive psychology in the future
Everyone thinks I’m super bubbly and always sunshine and rainbows, so when I don’t smile for even a split second or if I’m concentrating even if I’m not talking to anyone they ask if I’m alright.
This is the greatest youtube video ive ever watched and I cannot tell you enough how much I am so happy I watched it. Thank you
A video about a very difficult topic. You have a great way of communicating these things with an ease & flow to listen and understand. Very natural. Thank you, you did very good!
Add high functioning anxiety to the mix and you have like most professionals
Wholly cow, EVERY SINGLE ONE of those symptoms, thank you for helping me decode myself!!! 💜
Great explanations! Very clear. Thank you for this video!
i didn't know it was that different from normal depression, thanks for the video!
thank you so much for this video and channel overall. parts of the symptoms resonate with me on this particular topic as i always felt incorrect when labeling my tendencies as depressive. but for some reason the part about not being able to relax struck a chord with me because i always struggled to take my shoes or day clothes off when i first get home and i stay up very late every night. again thank you for the video as now i have a better idea of what i may be dealing with.
Journaling out what's going through my head and practicing being creative help show me that I can make new things and understand where I'm at and what I'm missing (like a hug or a good cup or hot chocolate)
Quite long but very detailed explanation! Thanks for sharing this info! I appreciate it!
... It's great to learn this. I've had dysthymia for just over 50 years. I had a great therapist for 30 years, but he suddenly died. I'll survive, though. Some of us that have it.. have no real alternative but to ignore; and some of us focus on our long-term family goals.
So well spoken and well communicated! Excellent work!
Excellent and very useful video! Also useful details and informations about signs of high functioning depression! Thanks a lot for sharing this video clip! I really appreciate it!
I truly value your calm essence in presenting such a vital set of imperative information
in times when the whole world is tumbling down on you remember its ok not to be ok. you just have to let it out. It doesn't mean you are weak. Always remember that there is HOPE. Keep your faith alive! Life is full of challenges its very important to remain strong! I chose to be strong for my children
informative video about high functioning depression thank you
I think you described half the planet!
I think you are exactly right!
Maybe the whole planet. These things are designed to label everyone everywhere as sick and needing their help. You have to remember that these are basically advertisements.
Maybe, I think there is a distinct difference between a more typical life experience/emotional world and someone with this condition. I feel like someone who has a personal experience with depression, whether high functioning or another stage in the continuum, wouldn't have written that comment.
@@Xezlec Doesn't really mean she's wrong though.
Because as the kids say, "We live in a society", which carries many MANY problems for the individuals?
I have a son with autism and I'm glad that we "seem" to be getting more info out there to the public about ASD. I try to help others through videos on my channel in learning more about ASD and their parents. I'm the president of the Autism Society of Florida and we're working hard to have the voices of people with autism guide us as we determine where our efforts needs to be. Thank you for this piece.
Thank you for randomly popping up in my recommendations
I almost started crying watching this. I experience all those symtomes and do all those things. Now I finally have something to call it
Thank you for an interesting video. I've always wondered what Dysthymia is and your video has helped me a lot in understanding it.
This needs to get out more. I'm glad this was put in my recommended.
Hearing someone you love and trust and might just be your only friend say “ I think you like being like this”. I smile all the time .... because I have to.😞 I just cry in reverse.
I really love this video because I know I have depression and take medication for it but I never knew this term which describes me really well. I couldn’t figure out why I can’t get it together and now at least I understand.
It's important to mention there are plenty of body and brain dysfunctions too that can cause chronic low energy and because they don't show up on typical blood tests or overt symptoms they can go for years undiagnosed and untreated. Like a gradually fading thyroid gland, for instance. Some Primary care physicians aren't great at catching those until the patient demands to be tested. And if you've gone years that way, you likely can't muster the energy to demand anything.
This video helps to clarify some of the questions I have about depression...thank you so much!
Mental illness sucks! Many people in my mother’s family suffer from mental illnesses: schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, anxiety/depression, alcoholism, the list goes on and on. It’s important to not get stuck in your own head and reach out to people because life is WAYYY to short to be miserable and alone. People can change the channel and be optimistic about their reality and their future!!!!
Do you go to sleep at night and wake up in the morning? You might have a case of high functioning depression.
it's dangerous because it builds up, i had this undiagnosed for about 4 years and when i wound up in the hospital everyone was surprised because there didn't seem to be anything at all going wrong in my life, knowing that and feeling guilty about the irrationality of it did not help one bit
Yep. I have this, for years now. Finally, found someone/something saying it on the spot.
Thx Haesue Jo. I just discovered your channel and after watching this video , which was excellent, I have subscribed. Looking forward to receiving new videos from your channel.
