    Depression is the leading cause of disability in the world; in the United States, close to ten percent of adults struggle with the disease. But because it’s a mental illness, it can be a lot harder to understand than, say, high cholesterol. Helen M. Farrell examines the symptoms and treatments of depression, and gives some tips for how you might help a friend who is suffering.
    Lesson by Helen M. Farrell, animation by Artrake Studio.

    Saying "Why are you depressed? Life is so beautiful"
    is like saying
    "Why do you have asthma?
    there is so much oxygen to breathe!"

    I have been depressed for a long time, but after taking shrooms few months ago, l feel much happier and highly motivated and my ADHD gone , lost a ton of anxiousness and had a few epiphanies about how I should live my life. I decided to buy an ounce for backup, but haven’t yet felt the need to take any more since then.

      I understand completely. The feeling of loneliness is unbearable when you need someone to be there for you in your time of need.
      Friends should know when you’re upset and not leave you behind to go do something fun without you..but they won’t know that you’re not okay unless you tell them. Not *everyone* understands when you’re upset, some people are blind to knowing people’s actual *true* emotions even if they’re a close friend that you care dearly about.
      If you need me I’m here for you.

    The scariest thing is that feeling of emptiness and numbness. I remember wanting to feel something, anything, even if it meant that I had to feel the saddest. The mere recall makes me shiver. That was scary and that was when I realised that sadness, devastation, every negative emotion is better than not feeling emotions at all.

      Sahana Roy I totally get you. I’m scared to tell my family. If I tell my friends, they’ll just claim they’re depressed too. I haven’t been professionally diagnosed with depression, but, sometimes I fantasize (literally FANTASIZE) about my death which I don’t know is really weird, psychotic, or is just really weird lol. I’ve been hiding dangerous objects under my bed, and, just recently, my mom got me a counselor because she thinks there’s something wrong with my mental health. I don’t like my counselor, I think she’s kind of mean, and, anyway, I’ve found myself not even wanting to talk to people anymore so that could be part of it. I don’t know if things are going to get better or worse. I think I need help, but I don’t want help. I feel like at this point, the only people I can talk to are amazing people like you, who don’t joke around about this, and make such relatable and heartwarming comments. That’s why I came here :)

    It's like I'm not even living for myself, but just living for my family because the thought of knowing that my parents would get very devastated when I'm gone is the only thing that is anchoring me to this world. Maybe, this explained why I've been feeling like I don't have any goals in my life or things that I'd like to achieve. Maybe, it's the feeling of what good having dreams or goals do anyway if you're not going to live long enough to make them come true.

Later I realised that my life is diverting in another route, I am not afraid of taking that route but I'm afraid that the picture i have always remembered will stick with me as another person who i imagine everything I want in my life as and do absolutely nothing. I have some imaginary sides of mine and I cannot satisfy any of them . I know there is something wrong in my head so if my imaginary future self becomes my present copy of mine I swear I will go insane because that's how thoughtfully I have created a future self.

    Once, I believe I was depressed, during my teenager years to be precise. It was a dark period of my life. I couldn't muster up the strength to do anything worthwhile. Studying was impossible. But the worst part, I think, was the persistant flow of negative thoughts. It was overwhelming and destroyed my confidence in seconds.
    At the moment, I'm in a good place in life. Through therapy, I gained a lot of control of the flow of my thoughts : I don't control my thoughts, but I am able to dismiss the negative, argue against it and, eventually, have positive opinions about myself and what I do.

    You know what makes it worse? The fact that you're not able to say "I'm depressed" without feeling guilt or certainty because in today's society it's a "trend". You can't openly talk about it with someone becuase you haven't experienced this thing and you have this status and so forth. Being told "just cheer up there's so much to be happy about" is like telling a person with asthma "just breathe, there's so much air"

    @rumeysaturk673 Před 11 měsíci +3

    I would like to talk about my treatment journey that has just begun. First of all, it was very difficult to ask for help because I didn't want to hear anyone mocking and saying that I was "exaggerating" something. So I delayed my request for help and believed that I might be really exaggerating. For about 2 years, I resisted thinking that even if these feelings and thoughts come and go, they will go. But especially in the last months, everything that I have experienced from time to time until now has started to suppress in a concentrated way. Although I always tried to console myself that you would be fine, I realized that I had a hard time believing it anymore and everything started to lose its meaning and joy completely. It's been a few days since I started treatment and I can't tell you everything has changed completely, of course, but knowing that there was a reason for my crying for no reason and this feeling of unhappiness that stuck with me gave me some relief. Even knowing that I feel seen and heard is quite enough for this stage. I wish the best of luck to anyone struggling with this, and I want you to know that you are not alone. This life is worth living.

      @@neetasarawade6681 I truly don’t mean any disrespect when I say this, but have you ever had depression before? It’s not something that you can understand without experiencing it, because it really is beyond reason. Depression is similar to a phobia, in the sense that it’s irrational, and even though you KNOW it’s irrational, it doesn’t make it go away.
      The difference between sadness and depression is that depression doesn’t come from circumstances. A sad person could be stressed about their job, but then get a raise and be happy again. A depressed person is sad regardless of what’s happening to them; they could win the lottery, and nothing would change. It’s always there, wherever you go.
      Emotions may be just chemicals in your brain, but I don’t believe that makes them any less potent or real.

    Depression is when you don’t feel feelings besides anger and sadness . Your numb to everything around you , you don’t feel joy in any activities, you don’t feel love being around people you love, it feels like even when I smile and are “happy” it’s all fake . I fake emotions because it’s easier to do that then ask for help and be labeled weak . Depression is being so dead inside that the thought of suicide isn’t so bad, it actually sounds better then being alive in a constant loop of self pity, misery , self hate . You get labeled lazy because you don’t do anything and you feel like a burden on everybody around you . You can’t get it out of your head , doesn’t matter how hard you try . “Happiness” , yea I miss that , I feel like I’ve been stuck In this for so long I forget what it feels like to be genuinely happy...
    Edit:it’s never to late to get help! Working on yourself is really helping me, self love is very important. Your life is valuable and you are loved.

      Guys i had depression due to work stress and I have survived it by my own without any medication or medical help. This is for the people here who are having depression, running thoughts, sleepless nights, bad dreams and anxiety. Try 'mantra meditation' by chanting 'omm namah shivay'. You can see CZcams videos about chanting 'om namah shivay' 108 times etc (there are many videos regarding this) and follow the tone and tempo. Then sit in a relaxed meditation pose and chant it in very low tone so that you can feel your voice vibration in the throat, chest and brain. Focus on vibration and feel it. Do it 10-15 mins (you can do more time if want) every day before sleeping or at dawn (or many times you want). you can feel peacefulness in brain and feel that every running thoughts and bad thoughts are tearing out from brain. You can feel the change after within 4-5 days and within one month you can remove the depression completely (at least in my case). PS: I am not spreading any religion here. So if you are comfortable with it, then follow it. I come to know about it from internet also. You can dm me on Instagram @sourabhpal03 if it is helpful for you. I will glad to know that I can change someone's life. Thank you :)

    It's been a few months now, and I'm much better, but it's not perfect.

      I started drinking when I was 16. I would drink at parties, but I also started drinking alone because I was unhappy, and I was in a lot of emotional pain all the time. My mom was very aggressive when I was younger, and my brother hated her and so did I. He started hanging out with shady people, he started failing all his classes, he was never home, and my parents fought all the time. I also ran away several times. I was always trying to figure out a reason as to why I was here or what the purpose of life was. So, I started looking at different philosophies, religions, and beliefs. When I was 18 after I was hungover, I got on my knees and I prayed for the first time. I asked if God was real that he would show me he was real because I couldn’t take it anymore. I was crying when I prayed for this. At that moment I felt a presence come over me like a wind. It was barely noticeable, but it was unlike anything in my life I had experienced up until that point. I was surprised when I felt it and I remember saying “what was that?” after that experience I pretty much forgot what happened and kept partying, until my senior year when I got arrested. After my arrest, my parents lost all their trust in me and I was expelled from high school. I was told never to come back. At that time, I felt afraid and hopeless. That’s when I started looking for God, and I prayed that he would reveal himself in my life and that he would give me signs. My prayers began getting answered so consistently that I couldn’t deny that God was doing something. It was mysterious and compelling. I ended up in Church and started reading the bible hours a day. I stopped hanging out with all my other friends because they were continually getting arrested. I was able to forgive my family and myself and to ask to be forgiven. I noticed how at Church people were judgmental and how they formed cliques but were afraid to be around anyone else different from them. It increased my faith because I realized Jesus was not like that and ever since I was young, I saw people as people regardless of who they were. After a while, it’s like I could see God's presence was in my life and then it felt like he wasn’t, and then he was, and then he wasn’t. One day I woke up and felt more depressed than I ever have in my entire life. I felt like I was dying on the inside. That night I prayed, and I said, God, I don’t see my life five years from now I'm going to die Jesus save me Lord, please save me. I was weeping when I said it and when I asked him to save me, I felt a presence inside of me like a heartbeat, and I felt it once like a pulse, and I said Lord please save me and I felt it again even stronger. It was like radiance. When I woke up the next morning, I had transformed everything felt brand new like I was a kid again. All my fears and all my racing thoughts everything was gone. I looked at my hands, and I said this can’t be real it’s impossible. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I saw a different person. I started praying, and the holy spirit became entirely real to me it was washing over me and inside of me. It was total love and peace, and I heard a voice but not an audible one, it was an inner voice. It said I am with you; I love you, I will never leave you, it’s done it’s finished. That was May 3rd, 2009, and ever since then I’ve followed God, I have seen many things change and many things I know wouldn’t have changed without faith and belief. I know what it’s like to be lost to feel you have no hope. Don’t ever think you’re stuck, or life can’t change because it can. My mom is a Christian now, Its night and day. Some of the things that went away during that period were severe anxiety and my addiction to alcohol. I’ve seen and experienced so many things that are miraculous and seen how God has worked in my life. When we ask God to forgive us for what we’ve done and turn away from our sins and wrongdoings and we believe in Christ's sacrifice everything changes. His word says if we confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that he died and rose again we will have eternal life but not just life after death but abundant life in the present. Our sins are erased not only past, present, and future but our burdens and fears are lifted also. Our thoughts, our minds, our hearts, our souls are transformed and united with God and we know his spirit lives in us. If you seek, pray, and knock you will know JESUS IS KING!!! HE LIVES! czcams.com/video/EXQGTInPpZU/video.html

      2. If this is hard do 10 pushups and now try not to think anything. Since you have depreciated your energy your brain will not think that fast and you can make it much easier not to think about anything.
      3.After 10 minutes focus on onlh posiive things .If you do it correctly, it might be hard for you to thing about negative things since you have shutdown your mind for sonetime. Know think aboug your dreams and continue.

      Yeah same. I think this is type of depression is the worst in my opinion and feels like it won’t ever go away. Honestly, I think it’s more so genetic than anything. I used to feel joy, love, pleasure etc. when I was in highschool but now after highschool I don’t fee any of those feelings anymore. No excitement, no pleasure, no interest to do anything. I purely do the things I do with my friends because I know it’s what I’m supposed to do to feel human. But even being people causes no joy or pleasure, only experiencing anxiety or fear for no reason.
      I’ve been in that same mindset and on a rare basis get mad over the fact I can’t feel those emotions anymore but, I found that doing that only makes it worse so it’s better to just deal it with for now and hope that in the future with the advancements of technology, science and medicine that we’ll one day find a cure or some type of relief for this type of depression.

      One thing that I believe has helped so far is listening to different types of music and singing along with them. My body, for some reason, can still remember the emotions I’ve felt in the past so, my thinking is that by listening to different types of music with different genres will help me “spark” those emotions in my body again. Start of with sad and depressed music but make sure to slowly and surely move upwards to exciting music and love songs.

    tw: depression, self-harm
    i'll share my experience in case people out there are feeling the same and struggling through these similar experiences.
    i was diagnosed with clinical depression and anxiety when i was 14. it was the toughest because i was young and i felt so scared to open up to my parents. my mom didn't understand but at least my dad did and that's how I started medication. i never got therapy because the pills were already expensive enough. my morale was at the slums them. i was sleeping for 3 hours everyday because my brain won't stop putting thoughts into my head. i hated myself with a burning passion and i had no energy in facing life. i just wanted to die. but i slowly got better and almost over it. until 3 months ago, uni happened and i went to live in a dorm. the environment and lifestyle was so different from middle school and then i relapsed. i have no self worth and i can't communicate my feelings effectively or none at all. i felt pathetic because i was falling behind in class and failing several exams. im not as confident as i used to be and even though i keep on pushing myself to do new things, i end becoming so stressed and failing at them anyway which only adds up to that awful feeling. so halfway into the first sem, here i am, who went through uncountable breakdowns and sleepless nights. a week ago, i finally broke down and the unsurmountable pain made me actually hurt myself for the first time instead of just thinking it. i grabbed a cutter and slashed my wrists too many times. to me, it felt wonderful, because after months, i can finally feel something other than dread, anxiety, depression, and worthlessness. It felt nice to hurt myself because that pain was so much better than the pain I felt inside. the deeper the cuts, the greater the pleasure. this is something you won't ever feel unless you are in that situation. don't try to think you can feel it because you can't. still, my bravest moment was when i was fourteen and i finally told my dad that i was suicidal. the fear that i felt at that moment feels like the waves from interstellar. change only started to happen from there. maybe you can overcome depression in months but it's different. i've had anxiety since childhood and i look at the world much different than most children do. i had this depression for years and when i think i am making progress, life gives me an ocean of lemons and i drown in it. that's just how it is. i am still suicidal, anxious, and depressed. but i was not who i was 3 years ago. i learned so much in the healing process. even though i relapsed and i am here with my demons again, i'll overcome it just like how i did the last time. i will do it everyday, for as long as i need to. because i have proven to myself that i can get over it no matter the circumstance. and if i do decide to end it all, at least i tried. so many my life wasn't so pathetic at least.
    advice is, true. maybe they will judge you, treat you differently, pity you, avoid you, laugh at you. but all i have learned was, who cares? i make the rules of my life after all and i decide how i get to live it. sometimes it's not really other's reactions that we fear. it's our own reaction to it that we really try to avoid. everything starts in you mind. so be aware. be intentional. but things doesn't have to be sure all the time. sometimes you just have to let things flow for you and then you just ride along. you find that cruising the waves is much easier than trying to fight against it. nothing is easy, i know it too well. it's a damn long process. take as long as you need. this world is fcked up so you do things by your own rules. if this world can't make you happy, you make yourself happy. believe me, you need others to heal. but you don't need anyone to be happy. still, don't isolate. the more you isolate, the more the thoughts get louder. stop living in your head. start living today. start now or never at all.
    that's all. keep on fighting. you're doing a good job. put those feelings in a jar and think before you let it take over you.

    I have depression and anxiety and for me, it was difficult to open this topic up to my parents because the last time I tried my mom said "Why are you depressed? What's there to be depressed about? Your life is so good.". I remember telling my therapist "I am tired of everything, but I don't know what everything is.".

      Like the video said if you have 5 or more of these symptoms it's depression. Suicidal thoughts are just one of them. If it isn't depression but you still feel terrible the label shouldn't matter anyways. Consider talking to someone you know or trust, and if it is really bad get therapy. The pandemic has made a lot of us felt depressed so what you're going through is normal.

      Matthew 11: . 28Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am [f]gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

What I was told by two of my cousins who are combat veterans and had PTSD was to throw away the medication or at least limit it and just do what you like doing, live life. That's what I did and slowly things got better. Don't give up and you will be just fine trust me. Good luck.

    Depression , is losing the will to literally do anything .
    Not willing to sleep nor stay awake.
    Not willing to eat nor starve.
    Not willing to live or die , you don’t want to do anything but simply stop existing .
    You lose the will , the love , and hope you have for others . You get melancholic slowly , the more you want to get out of it , the more it sucks you in.
    If you ever go through it , please , instead of cutting or crying , try out getting help .

The only reason I left the house was to buy food. And the food I bought wasn't the best. I found myself in a bad situation out of nowhere. Today I'm better but I haven't fully recovered.

Honestly this is how lowly my parents think. They never understood they were the reason for my mental illness and after 2 years they haven't changed a bit. Still the same people who never tried once to understand...just know how to blame and say depression is all an overacting and drama. I swear to god I might go through it again because of them.

Unfortunately I think depression is one of those things that just need to be taught in school or something because the stigma is so strong, that to teach a individual person who is most likely close minded isn't going to be of their own will. It's like with trans identities or other lgbtq+ identities. Most people unfamiliar with it don't want to be educated unless their heart is still open to it, so imo it has to be taught at an age where you start meeting new and more people. So that we don't end up with more hate crimes like we have in the past.
