Depression doesn't have to ruin our lives. The most urgent thing we need to do is understand the ways in which depression is unlike sadness - and why self-understanding is the primary route to a cure.

ā€œAlmost half of us will suffer from depression at some point in our lives, but the condition remains badly misunderstood and therefore often poorly treated. At the heart of our collective difficulty with depression is a confusion about what it actually is ā€“ and in particular, how it can be distinguished from a state all of us know very well and with which it is has a distracting number of similarities, namely sadness. Itā€™s because we unwittingly tend to apply to cases of depression a number of assumptions drawn from, and better suited to, an understanding of sadness that we end up suffering far more than we shouldā€¦ā€

I don't think my family knows how hard a depression can be. They are expecting so much from me. I hope this video helps them understand a bit more.

I got out of depression some months ago. The thing is, it never goes away completely. The anxiety, the loneliness, the overthinking, theyā€™re always there, theyā€™re just much more subtle. Sometimes i can ignore, even forget about them, sometimes they overwhelm me and i start the whole thing again. Depression doesnā€™t really have a ā€œtriggerā€, i spent all day with my friend, we had fun, everything was going great. The moment Iā€™m alone in my house i lay on my bed and i just donā€™t feel the motivation to get up. I feel tired, drained, lonely, anxious for no reason. Iā€™m writing this for everyone who may be in a similar situation, itā€™s okay, itā€™s gonna get better, we all have ups and downs. I know it just seems like thereā€™s no way out but trust me, there is. You just have to realize it.

The hardest thing about depression is that it is addictive. It begins to feel uncomfortable not to be depressed. You feel guilty for feeling happy.

Everything seems meaningless. No motivation to do anything. Nothing excites me anymore. Joy seems like a long lost relative. I feel angry. Frustrated. Sometimes I feel nothing at all. It feels like a million thoughts at once and a blank mind all at the same time. It feels like this utter need to punch something and the inability to move or do anything at all, Simultaneously. My body feels like a prison. My soul trapped under a heavy cloud of weight and darkness. Iā€™m irritable. Life feels like a chore. Too many problems to solve. Lack of support, resources, drive and will. The feeling of longing to feel content again, to feel and have hope. The strength to mask it all running out. A deep void in my soul yearning to be dealt with, but feeling like it will never happen and couldnā€™t. No one to understand. No desire to make them. Just waiting for everything to end.

Depression for me is like always wanting to cry, but always coming up short. I donā€™t feel anything when Iā€™m depressed, the only thing I can feel is unbearable pain and anxiety.

It's such a weird feeling to be suicidal but not want to literally die.

This video gave me the best definition of depression I ever heard: ā€œDepression is sadness that has forgotten its true causes.ā€ It made me think of things that I thought I had let go but in reality I never dealt with.

I love comment sections under ā€˜why am o depressedā€™ videos because everyone is so open about their struggles, worries and insecurities and it makes you feel seen with the knowledge that youā€™re not the only one feeling like this

I am currently suffering from depression. yesterday i have visited a psychiatrist and have been diagnosed with major depression, anxiety disorder, Dissociative Disorder and depersonalization Disorder. This is the third big episode in my life. I have started taking antidepressant and anti-anxiety medications, and my doctor advised me to wait for some time to see some improvement before starting therapy sessions with a psychologist. Depression is difficult and painful. It feels like life is meaningless and there is no motivation to do anything. There is no will to live, and I constantly have self-blame, hatred towards the world, myself, and life. Suicidal thoughts are present, and everything becomes dull. Even getting out of bed becomes difficult. There are also physical pains accompanying these organic symptoms. It's like a black fog. Today, I started taking SSRI medication. I hope to recover and overcome this nightmare. My life has come to a complete halt. I haven't left the house in 10 months, and I don't have any friends. I communicate with my girlfriend only through phone calls and messages. Despite having my family around and their support, as well as my girlfriend's support, I often feel loneliness, emptiness, and mood swings. I constantly blame myself and feel like a burden to them, worthless, and a shame to everyone. Depression is truly difficult, very difficult. I hope to heal and for everyone suffering from depression to heal as well. Wishing you all recovery.

The worst thing is not knowing how to get better, so you start getting worse and worse. You start isolating yourself, not leaving the house, cutting people off, messing up your eating and exercise habits, etc, which just makes you more depressed without knowing why because you're not able to address the root problem. It's such a vicious cycle ...

Come on guys, we can go through this together. Everything will be alright. I am depressed at a young age, if there is anybody like me, please comment. People are like "You won't be depressed and all at such a young age, just go do your work and blabla" but it isn't like that. It just depends on what you are going through, how you are feeling, and not how old you are. I need someone who understands me, please
