I feel that way a lot. I never choose to feel like crap. I want to hang out with friends or do something I like doing, but I never feel like I belong with my friends or when ever I look at anything I was interested in I feel like "meh nevermind" but I can't talk to people about it because I always get talked down to or I'm not listened to. Like people want to "help" but it usually makes me feel worse than when I started, so I don't talk about it or want to reach out. I remember feeling Suicidal once and the person I talked to about it made me feel like I was being a downer on purpose. So I learned to hide my thoughts very well

However there are types that are not prolonged, like major depression can be.

Yes this is not a choice!!! LOUDER

Why do I kind of feel like some people in my life always told me that depression WAS a choice?

I don’t think everyone will but if the majority finally get it then maybe we can fix it but that is just wishful thinking.

Sometimes you need that good cry but for me I’m ashamed to admit that I feel this way so nobody knows and I wish that I could just go have that dry without being judged by others

@@legolokicars5820 Jan 1 was a disaster .I was weak, and my whole body was hurting. Like I think I have a little bit of depression . 😔

those 4 words just made me feel so good

@@legolokicars5820 I understand I am very nervous that someone is going to judge me I also overthink I can never build up the courage to tell my parents that I need therapy my mind and body just hurt in pain please put me out of my pain

In most cases in our modern wall depression is a choice, what I mean is most people do the things that make them depressed such as porn, binge eating, video games, and indulging in all pleasurable activities (which they know are bad) and then play victim and blame others for their depression that they caused to themselves. In other very rare cases, a person might have went through something bad, such as losing a loved one or getting a hard physical injury. But other than that everyone is depressed because they are on their phone all the time on these addictive social media apps, and this video is for desperate people who are looking for nice words such as “depression isn’t a choice” to make them feel good and then back to being the lazy losers they are.

aa this made my day

Thank you very much 😭😭😭😭

Needed this a lot. Thanks

This really came at a right time, you are appreciated my friend ! 💜

thank you, kind internet stranger, this made me feel just a little better

I wish I could do what I want to do, but society today is so forceful. I can't deal with school because I have extreme social anxiety and I can't relax and I get super overwhelmed, but i have to. I can't have my own dark feelings without someone calling people to put me in a freaking service and therapy which I don't want. I can't be myself around people because everyone always judges the hell out of everyone. I can't live life without me asking myself why I need to do things I don't want to.

I am so sorry you have to experience that. I truly wish I could give you some sort of advice, but unfortunately I am in the exact same predicament. All I can say is this: 1. I know how tiring it can be to feel as though you constantly have to be productive, but in truth, that thought process is COUNTER-productive. You're probably aware of this, but sometimes we all need a couple external reminders?? Taking breaks is vital to making progress and preventing the dreaded feeling that is burnout. I would advise that you try to come up with a schedule that works for your mental health (if you haven't already) and try not to be too overbearing on yourself. I promise you're doing great. 2. Just know that people really do care about you, whether or not you know it. I care about you too, and I really appreciate the courage it must've taken to write this comment. (You might even be inadvertently helping people [like me] in the process.) Know that you do have the strength to get through this; don't waste all of it trying to do more than you're physically/mentally able. Much love to you, and good luck!! ^^

@@koriMarikori I am an adult and I feel a lot of those same things.

@@thenightporter I'm so sorry you feel those same things, I'm just a child so I'm still sorting through my feelings of what I need to do to get out of this

@@grammarnazi3876 Hoboy I really do appreciate you taking the time to write all this. Personally for myself it's not that helpful but I know for others it is, I'm usually like you and write similar comments. I've been through the whole shebang, on and off therapy for 10 years, multiple medications,multiple therapists. I've been through post secondary and crash landed after. I love organizing and problem solving so coming up with routine ideas is easy I've made dozens. Find myself too knowledgeable about it all sometimes, yet fail constantly at making use of it to better my own life. But I have super low self esteem, extremely stubborn and can't seem to force myself to do much of anything I don't want to. I'm very much 'high functioning' but severely struggling, in such a bad grey area where not much support exists. I know, agree, and regularly tell others much of the advice that you have told me, and didn't go on a bit of a ramble to disregard your kind words. But more so just to acknowledge that sometimes the words do nothing, the support isn't helpful. I really do thank you for your words, I hate seeing others struggle. Mental barriers are so fucking hard to break through sometimes, I definitely envy those who can just do therapy+ take medication and turn their life around in a few years.

BRO TYY I NEEDED THIS SO BAD I CANT THANK U ENOUGH

I think it would be better to watch the video🙃

Spoilers!

thank you!! :)

What a kind message to share!

@@Psych2go Not much use to atheist though, right?

@joanna exactly, i feel the same too.. what is the reason?? I'm so exhausted, honestly

my thinking is, that the "reason" to exist is to increase entropy. entropy is converting useful energy into less useful energy. for example, taking the energy stored in food and converting it into heat. the direction of entropy coincides with the direction of time.

thanks, but don't deceive people into thinking they are here for a ''reason''. the only reason why we are here is because a couple decided having spawns would somehow fulfil their needs.

wise words

Wow. Im Literally at work crying to this. You explained this so perfectly, i've been depressed for years. i'm actually surprised that im still here considering the fact that I've attempted suicide multiple times and ended up having a breakdown. No one knows. Not even my narcissistic mother. Im only 20 years old and when I tell you, I've spent half of my life being depressed... IT'S SO DIFFICULT and people think you can just be happy like it's a choice, if happiness was a choice I would be like that forever. But it's not.

@@itsamunyall Yeah it's not only infuriating but heartbreaking as well that family and friends sometimes take the things you do as a result of mental illness personally. They think you are being depressed and not wanting to do anything to hurt them, at least in the beginning prior to recovery.

All my parents talk to me about is studies... Can't really remember the last time they asked how I was doing. Nothing except studies.

I'm a random person but I agree with the person above. Love is being a friend family or partner or mentor or teacher etc who is a listening ear, a slice of cake and a sandwich... Yeah person before me said it all.

💜

Try moving.. If u could

I know this is weird but I feel like I know you @wolfgang i'm 20years old too and I've been depressed for the longest time. I've never been diagnosed though

Happy to hear your story one day and have it shared to the world!

@@itsamunyall I mean 20 years of depression, I'm 32 currently. Maybe I wrote it bit confusingly. I've been "formally" diagnosed, even though it doesn't make my depression any more real than anyone else's. Stay strong and stay safe. There will be better times coming.

Even small tasks like brushing my hair, changing my clothes, picking out what I want for breakfast and lunch are considered to be huge accomplishments for me

@@PearlFirexx 😭 You're right

@@PearlFirexx same your're right then everyone who thinks that we're lazy but depression won't let us do anything and if we can it takes a lot of effoirt to do it

Oh my god is this why I am feeling this way?? It's increasing day by day but very small....what to do now?

Damn hope you start feeling better

I hope you get there. Believe, you can do it x

I can relate. So excited for your journey! I wish you all the best

I'm glad you took the initiative and though it may be a tough journey, you always deserve to feel better. You deserve to find yourself again and I hope every ounce of energy you need is readily available ✨

@@belltowercollective7821 thank you

I m also suffering

same, just remember that people still love u, even if it doesn’t seem like it.

Ah thank u.

Oh wow man even im suffering and it's so hard getting by..

@@everydayfun9531 all of us are suffering

Thank you for this short message… I feel the same as you do… but you can get through it! I believe in you!

You be strong too. Seek those who are understanding. People really don't understand depression if they have never had it. Prayer works.

Get away from your Parents and gf. They are toxic and bad for your health if they can't take care of you. Maybe they are the problem get away from them, and take care of yourself.

Just don't choose a narcissistic therapist, u will suffer more... Finding decent care in a capitalist society is becoming rare. I lifted depression by sitting in the backyard... lighting some firewood & looking up at the sky. I connected to God because I had No where else to go. I took that light & placed it right on top of the feeling of depression. God spoke to me.. All I heard was... No weapon formed against a child of God shall prosper. Evil 👀 ...uses depression as a weapon to hold us down. Cast that demon Out of yr life & let it know that in the end... Jesus Wins.

thanks this helps I have all of these please put me out of my pain I will die very soon I can't get out of this pain and suffering that I have

Same buddy... I can feel you....I cannot give you any false motivation because I know most of the time it doesn't work with depressed people....but I really wish that our lives will change for better...I just hope....

Yup. I think others who have never experienced true depression or suicidal thoughts confuse our experiences with sadness. It is not a superficial and fleeting feeling, yet a deeply rooted thought process that can't be controlled. I always hated it when people would say "think happy thoughts!" or "count your blessings!" If it were that easy...

I suffer from depression and my sister calls me a crybaby and makes my self-esteem worse, calling me fat. Ugly and everything, but I guess I agree with her....

Sounds to me your sister was confusing sadness with depression. They are absolutely NOT the same.

I have to pass with it. I can't just watch it all get better, I actually have to make it better. Every. Single. Day. It will pass only if I work to make it pass.

I think I just very recently greatly alleviated my PTSD. It was by no means easy. 4+ years of PTSD, and the last month had been the worst it's been, the biggest rollercoaster. I don't know how far along into your PTSD journey through hell, but given enough time not away from stressful triggers, you will lose your memory, and wake up confused and not understand who you are anymore. Where you already don't recognize yourself, you will REALLY lose that thread of identity, and have no hold on the past. Multiple personalities and no consistent identity. I don't know what I did that alleviated my PTSD. Maybe it was talking to trustworthy people, helping them through their problems, or reaching out and talking about my trauma to multiple trustworthy people and a therapist in a very desperate attempt to get my story across before I forget it or lose my cognitive function which is the norm. I know throughout this time, my personality and cognitive power STILL kept changing drastically and rapidly. But eventually it reached a point to today, where I'm calm and collected, the way I was before the PTSD. And I'm very taken aback at the transformation, like I DIDN'T just travel through hell just yesterday and the week before, where I wasn't completely off-the-rails and unhinged due to my inability to control my emotions, my cognitive function, my memory. I don't know what more to tell you, as someone else with PTSD. I just want to give you advance warning to maybe help guide you when you eventually experience these things. I actually had restorative sleep and a good dream I can somewhat remember today. It's been so long since I've felt that. I feel the pleasant tingliness on my skin as I lay in bed. For 4+ years I forgot that that was a thing. The drama and anger and paranoia, mistrust, isn't there anymore, when it was there just the day before, week before, month before, for 4 years. I really am taken aback.

What a beautiful post. I couldn't have said it better myself ....and "it's ok to walk slowly". How many times that's the first sign something is bothering me, so I write or read.

Happy to see that the content could be useful!

Everything will be ok soon ♥️

Same, i feel this way too... i dont know how to tell mom, shes always positive and such. I dont want to make her sad and start blaming herself for it

I also feel this way. My parents are the most positive people I know and they are always encouraging me to feel happy. I just can't shake off the feeling that I'm just....not. I wonde how to tell them everyday but I just can't bring myself too. I think I feel just a little bit better knowing that I'm not alone in this struggle

Do you have any friends who know about this? (I don't so if you don't either don't feel bad) If so maybe you could ask them to say something to your parents/parent and hopefully they would tell you what your friend told them and ask you if that's true and then you could explain to them The only other I can think of is to just come out and say it (I'm not one to talk I can't even get myself to do this) I hope this helps and I hope you get the help you need

Sounds like you have toxic parents. Mine are the same way too. You probably should talk to your therapist about this.

@@iamjohnporter67 unfortunately they may not have a therapist But I do sorta know what it's like my dad is toxic I'm really sorry you have to go through this No one should have to go through this

Trying to find your primordial light may help. Your inner self lives in darkness so when u search ur inner self for comfort your searching in the darkness. Deep within that darkness exists a light that's the spark of life and contains ur knowledge that's been dormant for sometime. Through meditations that focus on breathing techniques aimed at moving energy around the body and breathing it in from different directions outside our bodies and aiming it out different areas of our bodies. There is a technique where u can breath in up through ur stomach into ur lungs and up I to the place in ur brain where the pineal gland is that massages it and helps to open ur third eye. Be sure to accept what's averse to u externally so ur not cutting off parts of your internal self which helps u feel whole as u accept parts of yourself u unknowingly reject when you reject anything outside of your body. Understand your born perfect and haven't made mistakes as every experience gets us to where we need to be to evolve so no matter how 'bad' something feels or appears to be understand it's necessary even if the reason isn't easily discovered. So drop any feeling of shame guilt or feelings of being unworthy. Self acceptance is practiced by accepting every person we come into contact with and interact with. Conflict between u and another is not bad it's a triggered a fear formed from trauma usually early childhood and veiw the conflict with gratitude as it presents an opportunity to address a fragmented part of self or a place inside that requires attention or it serves to halt something ur not meant to do. Don't try n figure out what it is u want in life but instead quiet ur mind and let ur feelings with no thoughts flow from ur chest out to source which is connected to ur chest by an energy chord. When letting ur soul in ur chest communicate to source with ur feelings good or bad or indifferent angry happy doesn't matter then source can feed ur soul what it needs to feel better raising ur vibrational energy. Try n manifest only to do what ur created to do and not manifest what u were taught to desire.. We live in a world governed by the law of attraction so ur level of energetic vibration is very important as a low vibration associated with grief depression and sadness will attract tragedy and loss. Doing the previously mentioned practices will raise ur vibrational level making u capable of attracting things we associate with gain joy and success. Take a personality test like the mbti and find ur personality type and watch videos everyday on KZfaq explaining all about your personality. Enjoy learning all the wonderful traits your blessed with that u may not know or may have taken for granted. Get to know urself well. If one of ur personality traits is something like 'very private and not like to communicate personal feelings that may make cause u to feel vulnerable' u can embrace that as a very good trait however recognise the strength in practicing communicating feelings as it's not bad not to however things we don't like can be viewed by ourselves as an area that's weak and like a body builder we want a full workout....if the body builder only did lower body work they would be lopsided. So to if we don't recognise that all aspects of us can become stronger or at least acknowledged and accepted we risk offending parts of us we can't see nor hear and can be setting ourselves up for shame. Try not to judge any of life harshly. We r all just as capable as one whose committed atrocities however so too r we just as capable of one who commits selfless sacrifice n acts of inspirational beauty. If u can't find time to do these things consider becoming homeless or living in a shelter where rent isn't required and u can devote urself to the university of YOU. Your self knowledge and expertise of self is by far more valuable than any job or college in existence. Please let me know if u find these things helpful and keep me updated on ur progress. I have a feeling ur depression will be gone before u r done reading this message. Why? Because u needed to know what move to make in life and the choices u have had aren't worth choosing from. I've suggested things that are easy fun and accessible and are free. So u have a tool bag now to build ur life with. As you feel better and are able to take family and lack of communication on as if it's ur own fault U can say to ur mom or brother or uncle or father.....whoever.....say I have been working on myself to resolve things I felt I was lacking from others and I discovered that I have been creating my inability to relate because I wasn't accepting myself and had some self hate for not feeling good and confident but since I began to get to know me and accept myself and like myself I've noticed that our relationship seems to be better and I realize now that my Outlook had been putting a barrier between us which made me feel more isolated and I ended up with depression. I'm working hard on focusing on acceptance of myself and self love and as I realize I'm really liking me I want to let u know I'm very thankful that u put in the incredible difficult task of giving me life. Maybe apologise for being distant and explain u hadn't become depressed out of animosity just out of misunderstanding ur feelings of a young person at a transitional time. Become autonomous and self actualize and help others in ur family to do the same.....if they should present an issue or concern do as I did with u. Point them to recourses that help now not something that may or may not work and takes months to find out. When out in the world armed with knowledge of self and ur strengths and things u r naturally good at try n get involved in an activity that your personality is good at and u enjoy. Then u will meet people u have things in common with. Make an effort to do eye contact smile with ur eyes cuz u might have a mask on and introduce yourself. Ask questions about them and show interest. If u hit it off ask for there number or offer yours even if it's to text a website you know of that you think would be beneficial to them because of my something they said while conversing. When the activity is ending maybe say I'm getting an ice cream before I go home anyone wanna join me....someone may say I'm hungry but I want a burger and u can say where do u wanna go? I'm sure they will have ice cream....all burger places do. Make sure and be friendly with everyone not just the one person who u feel most comfortable with. Text them next time ur gonna do something and see if they wanna join. Have as much fun as u can!!!!. Okay ...you ready? Steady.....Go get ur life!!!!!

@@jodisherland5335 hello I don’t have a any words to explain my feelings, thank you so much Sherland for taking the time and making me understanding about it 😊 it means a lot and you also take care and I’ll be also fine and will follow these amazing ways to stay calm relax and happy, thanks a lot 😊🙏🏼 take care

@@rohitsingh6578 take the appreciation you feel towards me now and aim It at urself. So in other words we are all one. Think of me as your self leaving yourself messages so you can feel appreciation for who u r try to imagine anyone you u admire as urself and then direct all the love u feel towards them at urself. That's teaching u self love. Because life is all one so anyone else is you. So anyone u wanna kick it with is you too ...so we have to learn to be our own best friends and use the people around us as mirrors.if we see the people around us conflicting we turn in words and look at our selves and accept what we see outside yourself . The more I us that do this the faster we get put back together. to me there is just too much sadness and suffering and I know pain veru well so if I can use my experience to help others find themselves I feel like I e done something worthwhile. I need to feel like my life has meaning....so thank u for the very gracious reply. You made my whole month brighter! Happy holidays :)

It would be more biblically accurate to share verses with them like, “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted“ and “Come to me all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” And to go through the book of Lamentations with the child.

And for the genuinely lazy child, show them the verses that show God made us to make the world a better place through working. Working was once enjoyable, but because of sin it has been subjected to futility. Work is often painful drudgery now instead of fulfilling and joyous. However, those who seek the Lord and pursue his honor in their work will see a renewed world where work and rest are no longer mutually exclusive. The Lord is pleased when we are faithful to work so that we may give to others in his name. He himself gives the strength to “not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” So we may hate to work, but all who seek the Lord work with hope. We work to please him, not our bosses or teachers or parents. We work for an infinitely kind Master who is most pleased to give us joy in serving him.

I certainly don't feel so alone. This channel is a good support group.

Take the red pill.....life is difficult anyhow

Bonnie, Life and people will never happen the way you want. Develop your mental muscles. To feel better reduce negative thoughts with a simple practice. Your breathing is closely related to the brain [mind] and gives good relief from stress-anxiety. To relax sit on a chair or lie down, neck straight, eyes closed and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight your thoughts. With daily practice the mind will relax. No deep breathing needed. Do the practice without any expectations. When taking a walk, at office, in school, when reading, before sleep etc observe your breath sensations. Like me, make this a lifetime daily habit to have a good life. Reduce negative media and avoid constipation as it affects the mind instantly. Best wishes--Counsellor.

@@shyaaammeneen63 Thank you...

@@FatherlessDog . A reminder--Since many years I have made it a habit to observe my breath sensations even during my normal activities and I am feeling relaxed and healthy. Anywhere-anytime it can be done. The best part is nobody comes to know that you are doing the breath observing practice as there is no deep breathing or sound. Normal life is not affected. Read my msg and do the practice regularly. Best wishes. Senior counsellor.

So true!

This information can not (and will not) trigger empathy in a person that does not have any. Sadly. Family included. With depression, we ARE often alone and it is what it is until something breaks, bends, or snaps. Hopefully when the levee breaks by then all of the pieces can be recovered and be put back together. By then sometimes it's too late..
