Okay so someone explain to me why my depression wont go away no matter how many medications i take ive felt worthless and pretty much dead inside for the past 8 years and its still ongoing? Literally nothing makes me happy even when i force myself to pretend im happy.😮

I’m 45 years old and I been suffering MDD since probably childhood but I started to seek help since 16 y.o. and as all the psychiatrists agree that I have MDD probably since childhood for not clear reasons and my parents didn’t picked up on it so I didn’t have help. I received probably about 150 ECT’s with moderate success and have psychological support, also I had a few serious suicidal attempts but I’m alive and it’s possible to live with MDD but life always has challenges but not all days are bad! Thank you for your videos as they help me to understand myself better ❤

I have depression due to some traumatic events. I just want to say to anyone doubting the meds, it really helps. It will not solve your problems but it will help you to have positive outlook and give your strength and better mindset to fight your problems

You sound like Lil yachty

What’s weird is I was doing so well for months straight no fatigue traveling happy enjoying my hobbies all off a sudden bad reaction to a medication and some stress and I am back at anhedonia and exhaustion 😢

Depression is when you find solace in insignificant things like your nostalgic music or getting a tatoo or growing hair like anime etc and try to portray an image that'll more than break even your perception of who is acceptable in this world. You want to be accepted and loved and smile and enjoy but no matter what, you'll not be because you've went too far over years or dacades into being someone you don't even know. Who knows when you walk with headphones? When you visit nearby woods in brimming afternoon? When you daydream constantly of what 'couldve been, should've been' ... Medications help. They do. But still, the situation might not change. Loneliness is a byproduct of this disorder. You know what else helps? Gym. Working out. Running. They secret ssri and dopamine etc. Natural body activity helps.

Everyday im either emotionless or just sad

Im never truly happy

why wouldn't anyone be depressed,the world is run by psychopaths,climate change,natural disasters,the thousands of health issues,capitalism,not choosing to be born,abusive parents,poverty,wars,and its all a waste of time because we are going extinct.but hey,its still a miracle,right

it hurts just thinking about my sister's death she died in the car accident 😢

After suffering for 21 years and still suffering, the antidote to my depression is having deep, meaningful connection with other human beings without getting judged or without expecting money from me.

Therapy has proved useless to me and medications do work sometimes.

Diagnosed at 11. I've been struggling with it since 7 or 8. I'm 17 now. I almost ended my life last night, but I held on due to my vice principal making me promise her that I wouldn't hurt myself.
My friend messaged me this morning and told me how much she cares about me and how happy she is that I'm here another day.

I promise you, you matter! Depression lies. It tells you that nobody will care. I didn't think my friend would care either. Your life has value!

Imagine being so stressed it gradually alters your brain chemistry, and the entire time you've suffered, you could've just gone to a doctor, taken some meds, and been okay. Years wasted, just like that, because a freakin' neurotransmitter couldn't do its one job correctly

chek your foot and prosture i sweary plese toe and foot massage and chek spine and lumber and neck curve ,that is the reson and correct it u wil free

Ocd symptoms are similar to depression I suffer from childhood without knowing but after thoughts of suicide everyday I decide to take help please consult psychiatrist guys taking help is better than living like dead body without feeling anything

I would like to share that the word Seratonin felt good everytime.
The depiction of the sad person was really funny, I laughed a lot.
I quit my job due to a toxic work environment and moved back to my hometown.
It is sad for me that I do not have a friends circle here and my close and supportive relatives moved far away to a different state.
Some tough times ahead.

its a literal cycle brahh

Thank you

BIBLE IS THE SURE WAY TO FIGHT DEPRESSION.TRY IT

To anyone seeing this comment....how are you? I mean, how are you really doing right now?

You got this. Ride the wave, even if it's a "depression" wave...it's a wave to ride, and you got it. Steady your feet, balance, and let the wave go. I just read a mindfulness book called "30 Days to Reduce Depression" by Harper Daniels and it was cool. I'm learning to balance on my own wave and I know I'll be fine, as will you :)

Put your faith in Jesus. He is alive and He still saves. He saved my life and made me new. I survived suicidal attempts, was hospitalized and on life support. For over 20 years I battled with depression, anxiety, insomnia, low self esteem until Jesus delivered me of all of the demons that were trying to steal, kill, and destroy my life. If you are struggling with mental illness, call onto Jesus! HE HEALS! He completely healed me and made me new. Repent of your sins and ask for forgiveness. He will give it to you. God loves us so much. He doesn’t wish to see any of us perish. Time is running out! Please call on Him, ask to be born again, in Jesus name. He will come soon, and every knee will bow to our almighty King! He who died on the cross for our sins and was then resurrected. Jesus Christ is King!

Thank you

I have dysthymic disorder, autism and schizotypal personality disorder

Outdated science gone by the way of the Big Bang.

I was told I had clinical depression and the Doc said that k God we have medication. That stopped me right there. It sounded so wrong. So I said no medication. Not everything is something pharmaceuticals is meant to take care of. I didn't say cure or heal because that's not what pharmaceuticals do. They just keep you from being yourself. I feel fine I just decided that I didn't have to be and always make sure there is something in front of to look forward to. That's it. Besides alot of people are depressed and don't even know it. They are perfectly fine with their lives. Alot of Misdiagnosis to sell those pills too.

Traduction in arabic 🥺

Man 24 here. I used to be quite shy and introverted as a kid due to being bullied and low self-esteem. At one point, I was diagnosed with BDD but someohow I got over it. Nowadays, I quit my job due to the toxicity in there. I went to study abroad but despite getting the highest mark of my class still, my confidence didn't improve. When I came back I seeked a job at what I studied but to no avail. Now I feel sad and I start crying out of the blue. I dwell on the past. I think that all these people who bullied me were right after all. I feel sad when I see other people having fun. I feel intimidated around other people especially beautiful women. It may be only in my mind but still why can't I do anything?

After a period of stressful life events, e.g., discrimination ( shuting the doors in someone's face just because they don't/ can't share the same beliefs, for instance) , persecution, etc., people inevitably become frustrated, learn helplessness, and get depressed. We shouldn't neglect situational factors lest we commit the fundamental attribution error by attributing their observed state to dispositional factors such as their character or other intrinsic causes in such a way that downplas situational causes, thereby missing the broad and complete view.

JESUS GIVES YOU HAPPINESS☺😊

Even serotonin doesn't make it better. It just makes you obese 😂

I have depression and I used to keep my emotions to myself. Last year, I mustered the courage to open up to my friends about my mental illness. Most of them left, including my best friend. My mom blamed me for losing friends, I knew it is my fault but I always tell myself that only the real ones stay.

I’m with you all I’m fed up of watching successful people succeed and seem happy thinking most of us never get chances of success in a life situation and my life is nearly over I have achieved next to nothing and I have no desire to do anything and am very negative just watch things go to work and look like I’m sort of happy I actually don’t care if I die or when I die no one knows me I’m an unnoticeable attempt of a human being trying to work in care looking after old people in a care home with CQC and other power controlling idiots making my job harder creating my depression deeper and no one really cares they just go through the motions

Here’s an example of depression. I have everything I need. I have plenty of money but I hope before this day ends I’m dead. I hope I die of a heart attack in the next 10 minutes, so I don’t have to suffer through this grind and crap life another moment. There’s no medicine for that 50 something years of feeling like this every single day that is depression.

I thought depression was a myth or some trend, until I found the damn crazy people under this comments

In the depths of solitude, I ponder and brood, A sad lament for existence, in sorrow imbued. Life's tapestry woven with threads of despair, A melancholic symphony, my soul left bare.
With each passing moment, a fleeting sigh, I traverse this realm, asking myself why. The weight of existence, a burden I bear, For joy seems distant, engulfed in despair.
The sun sets ablaze, casting shadows long, Whispers of anguish in each mournful song. The stars above, like tears in the night, Reflecting my anguish, their distant light.
The world spins on, oblivious to my plight, A mosaic of sorrow, engulfed in the night. What purpose, what meaning, does it all hold? A question unanswered, as the story unfolds.
In the corridors of my mind, echoes of pain, An eternal struggle, an unending refrain. The human condition, a tragic ballet, Dancing on the edge of hope's decay.
I yearn for solace, for a moment's reprieve, To find solace in the darkness, to truly believe. But alas, it eludes me, like a fleeting dream, Leaving me adrift, lost in the stream.
Existence, a haunting riddle I cannot solve, A kaleidoscope of emotions, I try to absolve. Yet, in the depths of sorrow, a glimmer remains, A fragile resilience, despite endless rains.
So I'll continue my journey, through sadness and strife, Embracing the shadows, for they are a part of life. Though existence may be a somber affair, I'll navigate the darkness, with hope as my flare.

Many times I just feel empty like nothing is there more, I used to be interested in playing the piano,drawing etc now i do not find interest in anything just keep doing things even if i don't like it,just so i seem ok from other people's view,most of the times i have to fake my mood and what is going on inside my mind, i have shifted things do seem to get a bit better since i got 3 friends

if you feel depressed and you feel like gasping for air and light while drowning in a sea or river of people while evryone around you kepp climing over you gasping for air them selfs in a panic. swallow your feelings and thoughts and let go. when you will get to the bottom i want you to feel the calmness and clearity of rock bottom, enjoy the quite. and then, when you are ready, turn around and start digging into the darkness and the floor. feel the shell of the egg in the end of reality and breath. you see the light? you feel the joy love and exeptence? i hope you will.

You know.. people treating you like absolute shit will do it. Genetics are minimal. People are the reason.

Perhaps you should now add that ketamine is also a potential medication.

When im depressed I sleep...It makes me forget about my sad memories and regrets.

I actually made an animation of my experience with depression on my channel.

The courageous fallen! The anguished fallen! Their lives have meaning because we the living refuse to forget them! And as we ride to certain death, we trust our successors to do the same for us! Because my soldiers do not buckle or yield when faced with the cruelty of this world! My soldiers push forward! My soldiers scream out! My soldiers RAAAAAGE!

- Commander Erwin
