  1. I definitely agree. My parents died in my early 20s and I wasn’t the same since. Hypersexuality and alcohol addiction kicked in and I was on the maniac rollercoaster til now and I’m 41. Not drinking as much and hypersexuality minimize but unfortunately it’s still there. Still healing. But it’s a beautiful journey I’m closer to the Most High more than ever.

  2. I remember when I was 14 years old I slept for like 2 weeks. I would wake up here and there long enough to force myself to use the restroom and eat. I was never medically treated . That was my one and only incident in my life and I'm 39 years old now. I really hope that never comes back again

  3. medication is not the end all be all. been on it since I was 16, i’m almost 26 now and the depression episodes always come back. you have to do the inner work which I am doing now

  4. Looking at the statistics instead of the trigger. It doesn't just come and go for no reason, that's why meds really don't work in the long run. Even when it makes one "feel" not depressed, I'm still depressed

  5. I’ve had it my whole life and was diagnosed with it as a young adult as a teen and put on medication but the medication made me feel like a zombie so I quit because I rather feel anything then not feel and remember just anything because yes the meds helped but I found my self like on pilot mode and I couldn’t remember anything plus it made me sleep walk which made me more tired. I try to keep my mind busy all the time but I still find myself slipping back into depression almost weekly.

  6. Yeah I'm had a really bad episode then I was feeling good but now that depression is kicking me in the nuts. However kick that shitakie mushroom back. Get help listen ask for help.

  7. This is sooo good to know. Thankyou so much! I recognise the getting out of bed symptom in me atm. Looking forward to this episode passing!

  8. I've been diagnosed with MMD for about 8 years now I've done years of outpatient and months of impatient treatment along with medications but my depressive episodes are very servere and persistent and in some of my more recent ones I've had (in my personal non medical opinion mild in comparison to most cases) psychotic features and I feel lost I would try just about any sort of alternative treatment to get this under control but I just don't even know where to start with that
    I just want to be normal and have the achievements, responsibilities, and freedom my peers do I'm 20 years old and I feel like doctors see me as lazy and potentially attention/drugseeking because of how little response my MDD has had to standard treatments so far

  9. What an awesome journey it has been. Coming across Drapalahealing on YouTube channel has been a testimony. Finally got rid of Hepatitis B Infection.Thank for your service and dedication, you..

  10. I have PTSD, Major depressive disorder, ADHD, Borderline personality disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder….. MDD is among the toughest of all. It’s getting so bad. I’m on Effexor 225 mg but it doesn’t seem to be working anymore… I am seeing the psychiatrist in about 2 days… I’m such a mess I don’t shower everyday like I used to and sometimes I don’t brush my teeth if I am not going out… it’s miserable. I feel like I have to push myself. I feel so alone… I’m tired of depression…. I’m just so tired of it 😔😔😔

  11. What should be an episode is more like a lifestyle for me. Normal is the episodes and I was writing a spiritual high for a while but I'm back in the dumps again.

  12. The girl crying in bed just after the zombie mode section reminds me so much of myself – an episode I had in my early 20s where it truly felt like something was wrong with my brain. I laid there for hours wailing and I don’t even remember what started it. I think I was going through some kind of growing pains. It was like an existential crisis. I was in my very first apt and so lonely and I just wanted to be a kid again. and back with my parents. I didn’t want to grow up.
