Depression doesn't define you, and it definitely doesn't make you broken. It's okay to feel this way, and it's okay to seek help. Depression isn't a sign of weakness but a testament to your strength. So, if you're dealing with depression or just wondering if what you're feeling is depression, this video is for you. We've got your back. You're stronger than you know, and your mental health matters.
DISCLAIMER: Please know that we are not trying to romanticize depression! It is a serious mental illness, and we are rooting for you to get better. The purpose of this video is to help fight the stereotypes about depression, and to make those who suffer from it feel better about themselves. Because everyone deserves to feel good about themselves, even if they’re fighting a mental illness. This video is meant to inform and educate, and it doesn’t serve as a diagnostic or therapeutic tool. If you think you may have depression, please talk to a mental health professional to get the help you deserve.

I go through the motions of life only because (for good or ill) I have a handful of people that care about me and I don't have the right to hurt them just because I hate myself. I am, observably, broken. If depression doesn't make me broken, it must be something else, I guess.

People need to not insult you and understand that we aren't in control of how we feel, think, and act when depressed. It's brain chemicals that causes it and many other factors that can cause but for the most part it affects our brains. It's not about you being mean, it's that we can't control depression when it affects our brain in turn affecting the way we act. People need to learn that and not insult people with depression. Be compassionate and understanding rather then be hurtful. And I agree that depressed people tend to be creative. It really helps them cope with the problem which a good thing

@@Mc_Mac_AD that was really good. Here's the intro to the novel; it's called "Stop and Stare" (sorry if it's long, I tend to yap a lot in person) As the frosty updraft of the now shimmering East River envelops the grey, dreary Manhattan Bridge, there stands a boy, 17, with a strange lost and glossy look in his eyes standing at its edge. It's a familiar scene, one he's revisited countless times, each time haunted by memories that refuse to fade. He remembers the day when hope slipped through his fingers, leaving behind only despair and the ache of loss. The comfort of his older brother that he once knew vanished like a mist, leaving him grappling with the pain. But amidst the turmoil, one thing remains constant: a haunting melody, heard only once but etched into his soul. Whenever the weight of his memories become unbearable, he would make his way through the heart of the concrete jungle, drawn back to this spot where time seems to stand still. In moments of despair, when the thin line between life and death blurs, and the pain from the scars of abuse blister it's the memory of that song that offers a glimmer of hope, a reason to pause and contemplate. And so, he stands, caught between a strange longing for life but reasons to keep living, as the melody echoes in his mind, urging him to 'Stop and Stare'.

The only thing you can do is try and break the cycle. Show your children that you can cope and you can have moments of good. Show them that it is ok to express sadness when depressed. Try to help them in the ways that you weren’t. My father was also angry. He was emotionally and physically abusive. I feel the darkness, the anger, but I will NEVER let it take over the way he did. My oldest knows about my depression. (She is 8 yrs old) She knows about my suicide attempts. I told her the second time she told me that she wished she wasn’t alive, and that she wanted to die. The first time was at 4, and the second time she was 5. She talks with me and comes to me for support. Let your kids know that it’s ok, and that they are not alone. Be the parent that you wish you had.

When the only advice you receive anymore from anyone is “just don’t be sad; join a gym; get a girlfriend; or pray to god”, you start to believe that people really don’t want to help, and just think you’re a sad, lost mess. And that doesn’t just make you feel like a bad person, but a *horrible* person. Especially when for the past 4 years you’ve tried to find your way around the dating world and haven’t been able to see an inch of progress. Even after deleting all of my dating apps, I still feel like the loneliest man in the world.

However your video showed that many suffering from depression are only looking at the details of a situation. Something that surprised me from video was when you mentioned how many depressed individuals actually use various forms of art as an "outlet" of sorts to poor their emotions into.

I've been dealing with depression since a child from extreme trauma. And to be honest, I don't care if people like me. I'm not going to waste time pleasing everybody. I don't care if you respect me. I have enough self respect. And although nobody is supporting me, since a child and as an adult. And I'm doing the best I can with what I have. It's extremely depressing for me and it hurts from the fact that my relatives and most people refuse to help me. So I learned to help myself. And I have been helping people and being treated like crap. But I manage, and learned to grow mentally stronger. And I gave up on my faith in people. And just do the best I can. Long story short, people normally screw me over and do bad things behind my back. But I'm doing alright as far as I'm concerned. But mentally, I'm broken. And do what I can

I can't convince myself that I'm not broken, because when I think about something being "broken", I think of it as "No longer being able execute it's initial/intended functionality". And I can factually say that I am less capable than I used to be. I can no longer find passions or motivations, which leads me to simply not "living" the way I used to. I may have gotten other traits from "breaking", but that doesn't mean I didn’t break. Based on my actions and capabilities, I am simply less, and I can't get that out of my head, because it seems objectively based on empirical observation

Thank you very much for starting making videos on this side of psychology again. I honestly couldn't watch the video yet but I'm willing to watch it after few minutes. By the way.... I wanted to convey this message as early as possible. Here's the quote I can't trust any of the psychiatrists I met. Even these videos on KZfaq platform proves that they're not so qualified mainly because of how they communicate with a patient. I can't hesitate to think that psychology field in our country is damned. Please expose more about 1. Schizophrenia(Especially what if I can't hear anyone now and don't see anything - There were very few occasions that I saw things clearly and I doubt that whether I got auditory hallucinations or pseudo hallucinations but there were few people who talked to me in the past torturing and threatening me, the host was YAHWEH the god). 2. OCD(This is my oldest diagnosis and even though I told many psychotic symptoms in the past, this was an unshakable diagnosis and now this getting kinda undertaken as schizophrenia has risen, I wanna know what can make this mimic schizophrenia. Whether paranoid delusions and taking very intense reactions against them are also caused by these.) 3. What does the term Trauma-Related issues really mean. None of my doctors listened to my trauma. They always didn't give me a chance to tell them. Finally, I showed so many evidences to claim about my traumatic experiences. That's when he gave me chance to share what happened to me and agreed that I've trauma-related issues since that's the term I questioned him about but he doesn't give me any information goes beyond this term. I really wish your help to understand what's happening to me. Sometimes, I say my issues such as triggers but they simply tell me to forget about them even though they're quite disturbing. I think I need more different drugs.

The video reminded me of a Yungblud's song called Happier. No I'm not broken, I'm just scared to belong here, scared to be happier. Broken, I'm not broken, I'm not broken, I'm just a little depressed. I'm not broken, I'm not broken, I'm not broken, I'm just need a rest. 🤘🏻🎶🎶

Funnily enough depression actually helped me understand myself a bit better. I took a few tests, found a few good friends and I finally feel like I have a place in life. I also started reading stoicism and existencialism to finally understand the world better on a global scale. I climbed quite a few levels from just staring at the ceiling and thinking about ending it. Just relax and improve. The result will come👍

At 72 I've had depression most of my adult life. What a legacy 😢! Raised with "the arts" but never talented enough. Now I never listen to (much less play) music and have abandoned all other art as well. The most creative I do is making a point of preparing a nice dinner for my husband, who at 75 is still working full time teaching elementary school. I keep waiting for a time I'd expected we'd be able to enjoy l life a little more but he's happy and thinks I'm just someone incapable of happiness (probably true). I just thought life would be more satisfying. Guess not. Too late now...😢😢😢

Remember that the fact you can be resilient and learn from your depression, that doesn't mean your depression is a good teacher. You deserve to live far long pass your pain and your depression.

The funny thing about depression is that it makes you feel you've lost yourself while also helping you discover more and more about yourself and this goes to show that sometimes in order to become better you have to face something that will make your life hard because you don't know that bad things happen for a good reason

When dealing with depression your dealing with pain it doesn’t matter how much. Dealing with these things is hard and I do find my art and stories do get better under negative emotions and stress. But sometimes I don’t like how disturbed the art or story can get.

Its very Exhausting 😢😢 that's for Sure.. There are two different dimensions to this, 1st They are able to read people better avoid people with bad intentions and be very very analytical.. 2nd They don't care and focus on themselves, Be very conservative, Take very long time to form any kind of Formal relationship.. Impact of Depression is different on different peoples. But one thing is for Sure.. That They really Soften up Inside Ou and their voice deepens.. There's something very strong, I guess very strong pain..

I might not be broken, but my heart is 💔. I think depression still weighs me down, somewhat. Not much I can do to change that, though. Just keep working I guess.

@hgyn.7902 Ай бұрын

i think everything will have 2 sides, one is good and the other is not good. And i think people suffering the depression might also endure a lot of comments on themselves telling them that they're a bad and weird person. However, as not many people experiencing the things they've gone through, that's why the judgements might be come out that easily. When you go through sth that these people did, even us might not endure that much, so hope we don't make any easily judgement on someone when we rarely understand their situation, their personality and their environment.

I'm often being told that I'm too annoying, boring, dark and stufflike that, that I should see the worlds in it's better colors, yet I can't. And people keep calling me those things, and it just always spiral down. Right now I'm at a low, I'm an inspiring animator, yet it's been days since I've been able to just hold a pen. i know it may sounds silly, like I'm still a pre-teen or whatever, but I really don't see myself as a good person. Never have. I honestl reach a point where I try not to care anymore, but I can't. I don't know what to do, everything seems so hard to do, I don't see the point in doing anything, I'm just tired, I want to sleep and never wake up again right now.

I used to be insanely creative before my first depressive episode, I always had so many ideas, I wrote fanfiction, drew art,, I was making fan videos. But after my depression I just lost this creativity, and it's still very painful to me. My therapist says I was using this fantasy world to escape from traumatic environment, and she's probably right. But now I kinda got into knitting 😂 It's like I revived a tiny bit of my creativity, and I'm happy about it

I agree that depressed mood causes for new creative ideas. Although it can be blended with desperation, sadness, hopelessness and violence. While getting traumatized, I created a drama called "Destruction or Judgement" in my mother tongue. It was obviously so judgmental, desperate and violent but later on I lost that script and remade it(in the name unexpected apocalypse) taking the religious, judgmental parts away with increased the violence adding some new concepts as now I'm specifically kinda interested in violent literature.

I am diagnosed with depression and lately my mom has been telling me that I’m narcissistic, mean and more. Which has made me believe that I am. I’m having second thoughts what if I am mean and narcissistic without even realizing. Her words made my self confidence really bad.

@balintfurmann5560 Ай бұрын

I can relate to that, it hurts really really bad, when someone close to you (family member, partner, etc.) goes on about how bad you are... But remember, it is just one person. I think that it's really brave of you writing your problem here, and I'm sure that you are a considerate person. :) I hope you feel better soon.
