So true! Great comment! ~ Blessings 😊💕🙏🏽

Right!

That part. I’m glad he had a learning experience but sympathizing at the very least with people differently experiencing life than you is a very important part of the human condition. Hell, you don’t even have to fully understand what they are going through. Understanding they are going through it should be enough.

Couldn't have said it any better

Exactly bro!!! All you want to do, and Sonia sleep. You never feel like you’re just fully rejuvenated. Most times you just wanna go back to sleep….. and not wake up.

This has been me for years 🙃

​@@shane10008then exercise

Just sounds like laziness

sucks that it took the homie actually experiencing it to believe it, and I don't wish it on anyone, but I just hope people develop more sympathy and understanding towards just how crippling it can be

@@FormaAlert That’s so important is at the very least feeling sympathy. You don’t have to experience it or even understand it, because just hearing about it doesn’t make sense, but it’s very real.

The worst part of depression is the compounding of everything you didn’t do while you are depressed and it makes everything worse and harder to climb out. Who else is still trying to get outta this fucking hole?

How to truly rest then when you are in this state?

​@@Skellybr0i can only speak from my own experience and ill save you a long story and just say DMT cured my depression, yes the same DMT that rogan talks about. Incredible stuff. Hardest part is realizing i was never going to succeed on my own but life is too finite too be spending it depressed, get well brothers

Someone very close to me was clinically depressed. All I wanted to do was take away his pain. It’s hard for the person going through it… and the loved ones feel just as helpless. My heart goes out to anyone going through it. Many blessings to you too.

yeah the staying in bed forever thing is so real. it's the little comfort you get when the world feels to overwhelming.

Im a mother. It hurts having my babies go through it.

​@@aahmieezlane1740I'm a mother a well and my daughter struggles she depression and suicidal ideation and it's the hardest thing I've ever done to try and keep her alive and happy. Depression is real.

I witnessed similar the only difference is I internalized as normal and had to learn to grow out of it because I was content with being depressed as a normalized feeling … I still struggle at times and I’m in my 30s

Yes!

If that's the case then I might be going through it. But I'm trying my best to push through it tho.

Everything was ten times harder even simple things like eating were kinda exhausting i sometimes would eat until I was starving

Kinda disagree. Depression is probably worse when you don't have an injury or any reason holding you back but you don't want to do anything, because you don't enjoy doing anything, even the things that you used to LOVE to do.

How are there so many successful blackses people when America is systemically racist and ran by white supremacists who target black people?

Thank you mr chi city you really the best youtuber of all time cause you chose to live your own life, thats a man.

ChiCity, when your next upload. We need it!!!

Ooof. Yes.

🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ why does this ring so true for me 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ Like your nurse sister telling you she didn’t need Prozac and got over it so you should too 😿🙀😿 they’ll call me a bigger weirdo for going no contact 🙅🏻‍♀️ I need healing so distanced from abusive fam is a must.

Exactly!!! And I'd way rather give a shitty person kindness they didn't deserve (honestly they probably need it too, and kind is what I'd like to be regardless) than give a struggling person a hard time when they needed and deserved support.

​@@mlilof84 You're 1,000% right! You have to distance yourself from people who trigger you. It's usually family because they know what buttons to push I have a few that I don't deal with. It's not just your sister though there's still a huge stigma surrounding mental health in the healthcare community unfortunately. I work with it on a daily basis and it's honestly so disappointing but keep pushing forward and hopefully you and your sister can mend things. ❤

Love how you said have empathy, we are lacking that big time. It’s necessary 💕🥰

Yes 👏 kindness is free and can literally change someone's life.

Shit sleep too negative dreams

When u sleep too much and wake up late realizing you lost a day

When you wake up and feel the weight of the world just drop on your soul...so damn heavy you don't want to even move. Or at least for my experience

To everybody else it seems like empty excuses but getting up and brushing your teeth is harder than a fist fight.

Lost my job and Broke my hand bein dumb smh god help me…

​@IsaiahKeene praying for you my brother. Sending my thoughts and prayers. Don't overthink anything, one step at a time. Don't look too far ahead, take things an hour at a time. God bless

Damn bruh this comment hit me so hard, good reminder to be happy of where I am now. Thanks

Yeah I think loneliness is the biggest cause of depression. After highschool if you don’t go to college you kinda gotta start over with makin friends and it’s tough

It’s not the same thing. Nobody forced anyone to become addicted to drugs. Depression hits like nothing else when you went through severe trauma as a child. It’s not like you can just say “alright imma stop being depressed and get my life together”. That ain’t how this shit works.

@@JayRM714Literally the exact same thing can be said for addiction. No one wakes up one day and decides to become an addict. I suggest you actually research a topic before spewing nonsense.

​@@dkoda840 Except they take stuff that has been shown to be addictive, it's their own fault, they willingly chose something that was actively gonna contribute to addiction, compare that to depression which can happen out of nowhere, whether you had to deal with trauma or not.

@@overthemoon34 I don’t dispute that however just saying you’re oversimplifying how addiction starts.

@@dkoda840 Not really, if you take something like heroin, it's hard for me to feel bad for you because heroin has literally been shown to be one of the most addictive substances.

Seek God in Prayer, reflection when you can and consistency. You got it❤ 💪🏾

God bless you 🙏 And DON'T give up 💯

Jesus said “I am the way, the truth and the life; no-one comes to God except through Me (John 14:6). Jesus wants you to to cast all your cares on Him because He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). Only by repenting of sin and trusting in Jesus to guide your life are you spiritually safe for all eternity. I encourage you to prayerfully read The Holy Bible❤

Sadly that both sounds like regular adult life and depression.

I feel like I’ve just read a summary of my life in the past 4 years. I fell into a deep pit that I’m still trying to climb out of and on top of that, I’m trying to figure out who tf I actually am and what I want for my life.

@@misshebabe16x was there. Now I'm starting the year in rehab. Lol.

@@MissVanHelsingKeep fighting, I bet you in six months from now you’ll be in a much better place. Please remember, it won’t rain forever. You’re still here and making progress each day, keep it going. You’ll be back to slaying monsters in no time … sorry, the nerd in me had to say it lol.

So nice to see people commenting to uplift and encourage each other - more of this please 💕 Wishing all the best along their journey to healing & discovering their purpose! Blessings 😊💕🙏🏽

🙏❤

I've been dealing with it for over 30 years, I finally started getting better about 10 years ago. I'd suggest mindful meditation, a good cognitive behavioral therapist and maybe meds. Surprisingly enough you can retrain your brain to recognize negative thoughts before they start to affect you, there is a ton of research on it. If nothing else, you can do what I do now and not be miserable just to spite the people that don't like you lololol

@@phx2pdx582 it’s not a healthy way of dealing. Trust me. I’m 6’3” 225lbs of muscle and tatted to the core. I’m a tough dude. But it took me 15 years of keeping it inside to realize you have to let it out at some point 🙏 friends and family are there to help you. I don’t have many friends or family but the ones I do have make the fight worth fighting

Not just men Everyone need to talk ab it You insecure wannabe manly man types the only ones who act like you cant be sad sometimes so

​@@Tw0Dots Shut up bro, why are you guys always trying to find the negative in everything?

@inda Real quick!!💯

Listen.!

Tell ‘em’

It's the truth I don't wish it on anyone

💯💯💯👍👍👍

You can't fault people for having a viewpoint on something that they've never experienced before. Life and experiences teaches us things. It's not his fault that he can't fathom something that he has never been through before until he actually went through it. You making that comment is no different than what you're accusing him of, honestly.

@@Nique1221 Not at all actually, since he said he didn’t believe those people’s experiences and was saying he thought they weren’t telling the truth. I believe that’s what he experienced, how he felt at the time. I just think it’s sad when people can’t put themselves in other’s shoes without first being in the same situation. It’s one thing to not understand, but it is very unfair to say they are lying.

Ive been depressed aswell, and the feeling of depression cant be explained, if u havent lost a very close person and so forth. When i went theu it, i just lied in bed for a month and was sleeping 1-3 hours a time

Damn…

The truest one liner I've ever read

Real shit

It's the environment, lack of meaning, love, feeling lost, have to do a bullshit job on your own, not understood, in a competitive world ... I also had neuralgia and still.

One up

@@montoya-400FACTS! social environment too, work environment, financial pressures, baggage from past relationship and friendships, etc.

@@HeavyProfessorits not one upping. They're just trying to make people understand clinical depression. Major Depressive Order and some other mental illnesses will give you depression with no tangible reason

And if its treatment resistant ur double fucked. Such as myself xD. Tried multiple antidepressants- doesnt work. Tried therapy many times- doesnt work. Been dealing with this shit for 5 years now. Everyday feels like a bad dream. I am really not sure how I'm still here. So tired.

Yep

Was killing it at work, bought a house, making mortgage payments every month on time. Everyone is proud, meanwhile I’m day dreaming about swallowing a bottle of pills. I feel you.

​@LilBoots1791 I suggest exercise, nothing crazy just do something. That's what helps me. I love you, fellow human being

Exactly

REAL TALK 💯

Bruh, why do people think like this though?💀 Selfish ass mindset

Step in those shoes. 🧐😅

It’s always real. “Only real when it happens to you” is for someone selfish with no empathy who cares only about their own needs.

The religion Islam is beautiful. You should look into it. God is calling you ❤

Ahhh yesss gotta always bring up race lol

Cause we aren't a "community," we are a population, and it's addressed all the time

​@noneyabizz3403 Man, stop trying to gaslight people and shit on your "white" baby boomer and older grandparents for making society separate. People with the most "hate" groups have the nerve to try to press a bs integrative narrative

There is a negative stigma in our community on therapy. If you are part of our community and wish to deny there is standoffish stance to seeking mental help, then I wish the best for you. If you are not of our community, then yes, in this instance, our male African-American culture shys away from therapy. Unfortunately, we engage in other addictive means to cope with trauma; alcoholism, drug abuse, unhealthy sexual encounters, and the list is long. So yes, I thank him for speaking out and hope that other brothers and all men consider seeking help if necessary.

@vanwade5870 😂 It's funny that the "community" only seems to shine a light on the poor people's behavioral issues. A black kid who grew up in an upper middle-class black neighborhood doesn't have the same experiences or mechanics as one who grew up in an upper middle-class white neighborhood. Who doesn't have the same as a poor kid who grew up win a single compare to one growing up in a poor duel family home 😂 yall really need to stop, especially putting older generations follies on people born on or between 1980 to 2003

He really spittin. Like bro we all sad, get yo shit together

ISTG BRO HE SAID MY THOUGHTS OUTLOUD FOR ME

ISTG BRO!

So sorry for your loss, I hope someday you can be without depression, but it's allright if you can't. My mother is clinically depressed, she takes meds every day and has good days and bad days, but she has a good successful life and we love her. Depression isn't the end of your life, just a new layer to it.

I'm sorry you lost your brother. That's really hard. Would make anyone depressed. But life truly does go on. It has to.

Dude, I was just listening a youtuber Mr. Metokur (Internet Aristocrat). He has Leukemia & Autoimmune disorder. He is basically falling apart & doctors dont know what to do. He is losing his hearing & eyesight. And he has been like that for 2-3 years. And all those medical tests & treatments are exhausting. ..... And do you know what he said at the end? He said that he realized that people can get used to anything. So be happy that you dont have to suffer. At least you are not slowly dying in pain.

See a psychiatrist. You may need antidepressants and mood stabilizers.

@@TomikaKelly I disagree. I still dont believe in Depression. And what do you expect a psychiatrist to tell you!? Any idiot would tell you the same & for free. Actually, Psychologists/Psychiatrists make money to keep you depressed. Fyi, I was officially in chronic pain as a child (for the rest of my life). My dad wouldnt give me the painkillers, b/c he was afraid that I would become a drug addict & die. Obviously I had a related depression. When I told my dad that I am depressed, my dad told me to wash the toilet until I feel better, & to think about people who have to clean the toilets for the survival of their familly. Actually my grand-ma told me to stay in bed until I feel better. No food or entertainment. I couldnt eat unless I get up & do some work, & only then I could eat. Dude, lie in bed for a couple of day without food staring at the wall/ceiling * then we will talk about depression.

Everyone is these comments is talking about how depression exist yet everyone fails to realize he only became depressed when he wasn’t doing what he wanted in life and couldn’t. Many people that have depression have it because of that exact reason and I’m a prime example of that. Depression is real however it can be suppressed when instilling a good work ethic and when making progress in your life. Truth be told it is just another excuse for failure and if that’s fine by you by all means stay depressed but if your looking for something more you truly don’t have time for it.

@@boysfromtheshack4458for some people yes but for people like myself and countless others its not as clear cut as you try to make it. For some it has nothing to do with success, failure or work ethic for some its hereditary, others its chemical imbalance. There have been many successful people with amazing work ethics who are doing what they want/love who are severely depressed (clinically) & leave this earth because its not something you can shake by just work ethic and doing what you want/love. Don’t downplay it and say its an excuse when not all cases of depression are similar or the same as yours was.

​@@boysfromtheshack4458Thank you. A while ago I noticed that my most unhappy days were Sundays. I examined why Sundays were so much worse than the tower days and I realized that it's because its my easiest day. If everyday is somewhat difficult then you will almost never feel sad

​@@boysfromtheshack4458 Depression extends far past work ethic and life purpose. Thats your experience and his but not everyone else's. Reminds me of my favorite local artist, made an album about both of his parents passing. He tried to suppress those feelings with work, and his depression only continued to spiral. Even with all the money and fame he's constantly achieving he couldn't out work those problems. It will come for you. Purpose can be one part of depression its certainly not the end all. Thats an over statement, I had it for the exact reason dealing with deaths and family health. It can be a cause of failure at some point, but its far from the main excuse for why people can fail! There's far more nuance to what you're saying. Depression is not linear, its certainly a spectrum of things.

​@@boysfromtheshack4458there's different forms and severity and also different causes of depression. If you don't know what you are talking about it's usually better to just listen.

Not to be that guy but you can totally see a rainbow without rain 🤣

I felt this 💯 % still got my Christmas decorations up 😭

exactly

Or it can be a chance to reevaluate your life and make peace with yourself, choose a direction that’s best for you, depression to me is like Ghost, doesn’t affect you if you don’t believe in it, laying on your back gives you perspective in life, and a reminder that nothing is permanent. You either plan ahead or end up on your back. Basically it’s about how you choose to deal with the situation.

Yeah I tore my acl couldn't play ball and I was more pissed than anything. I was just mad all the time

@@emperorgreene2440Shut up. If I removed your happy chemicals in your brain, something intrinsic to your biology ,you’re done. And you will try and try in futility until you happens to wash over you like a metaphorical wave. Everyone talks about solutions like you can logic your way out of depression.

That's a fact I felt like that after surgery for sure was pullin my hair out

@@desmondmcphail4434 taking them first steps without crutches i was like a excited toddler again “look! Look! I can walk on my own” was pressed to show the therapist next day😅

Men don’t think it makes you look weak it is just that you have to do something about it as men. You can cry as a man but you have to do something or work towards a solution. People need to stop with the fake men don’t do this because woman’s response. Men are about problem solving and getting the issue dealt with not just saying I don’t want to look weak.

Everything can't be going "great". You have to be sad about something. Even if its something as simple as being able to enjoy your money, health, family etc. Something keeps you in depression.

​​@@manoftomorrow5987yeah, it's mental illness that's keeping u there

i’m not a man, but as someone with chronic depression, i’m rooting for all of y’all. as heavy as the topic is, it’s heartwarming to see so much support for one another’s mental health in these comments, i hope that more people see these things and are able to find that openness with themselves.

Society is filled with narcissists. The real threats are the dark empaths they are the ones that keeps draining positivity on every person specially the people who choose to endure negativity.

I believe there’s a natural remedy for most things . I have a few things … one being adhd and I refuse to be on pills forever. So I’ve found solutions . You NEED to i is the same is true for you baby! And most importantly I hope you have a real faith or belief in something outside of yourself! There are so many things we don’t know about that we think is fact that’s actually real.. God, manifesting , meditation….. so much . Start small and watch how life surprises you. It’s fun. Buuuut like guy above most people don’t believe me when I tell them. I accidentally found out when I was depressed as a pre teen. Now I see all over social media what I inadvertently found out as a child . Please , please, please , please , please start with your mind!! It lies to you to protect you. Fu$k that sh&t and try some other things you think aren’t real! It’s one hell of a ride - I PROMISE you. You’re gonna feel sad again, you’re gonna be depressed again… you just have to KNOW you can get out of it and it’s not forever. Feel it and research , divulge in whatever is the core problem and then kick its mf’n ass every chance you get ! You just gotta know that it’s okay to not be okay and it’s okay to fail everyday . Just don’t internalize it as your worth and how life is supposed to be/feel like . ❤ you!!! 😊

100% but those people have no idea what depression is like

Only a clinical psychologist can determine if the depression is real or fake. It’s dangerous for an untrained “expert” to tell someone that they aren’t really depressed.

Depends on the level of depression. To get out of severe depression will take way more than just eating ur salad and hitting the gym

Well monoamines and sociology-type factors are pretty salient aspects too. Albeit some neurochemicals are both hormones and monoamines as well. Also the gut-brain axis.
