My Experience With Depression & How I Overcome It

Do you want more story format like this? Comment yes or no.

I knew you could relate to it

Im not like suicidal but im starting too feel lonely and alot more sadder than usual and there has been alot going on in my life and i dont understand myself and i think my family, relationships and choices are the main things making it hard

I got diagnosed with major depressive disorder, I’m never sad why is it always everyone is sad, mine is felt like I’m being held down when I know I wanna move I’m consistently exhausted even if I did nothing all day, I used to be so happy I hate feeling like this can it really be helped? Or am I doomed to just sit here and complain and just feel like everyone else ,if so it ain’t worth it I’m not going to keep going

That was beautiful

I was 13 years old, I was laying in my bed scrolling through my phone in quarantine, that moment I had my first panic attack. My anxiety started growing gradually, 4 years later I'm 17 now I feel the worst feelings ever, I barely get out of bed, my thoughts start as soon as I wake up, my life is like living in a dream, I don't have normal feelings like people do, I don't feel a connection with people anymore, lost my passion, I think about taking my life everyday, All I do is scroll through social media trying to numb the pain but it doesn't work anyway, I forgot what happiness felt like, All I do is think and I don't know how to get out of this I'm tired, I don't have much time left please somebody help me

I'm currently going through depression, no one cares tho. Because I'm only 11. I truly feel like I just might want to end it. I mean, where is all the happiness at. Looking at young kids and seeing them happy. And I'm the only one in my friend group experiencing it. And no one cares. They think I js want attention. Btw, hate on this comment all you want

i need help

Depression is the hardest moment of my life especially about failed relationship😔. It is hard to feel better in real as nothing like bothered in mind and emotion in daily. I lost focus and motivation for myself and the rest other things to do

I found myself here, looking for a way to feel alright after someone triggered my MDD-XX. I also can't sleep and eat much.. I don't have the means of funding myself into therapy. There is a free 3-session counseling provided by our government but it just triggered me. I had also psych doctors who judged me telling me "Why can't you just change your perspective in life? There are a lot of people who wants to live and then you can't." As I am typing this, I am at the point I don't see its worth it to stay alive. I don't want to be alone but here I am, alone in my dark apartment.

you actually helped me so much, you made me feel better about life and how may reasons you should live, thank you

I tried o express myself. The abuse stifled who I want to be. Cause i'm not this mean cynical person…I just don't have the energy to subsist….I miss the king and caring person I used to be but I don't think i'll ever get back to that. This world doesn't deserve it.

Therapy and medication aren't options for me. Both cost money, the vast bulk of which I make is earmarked for suvival. I have Chronic, Treatment Resistant depression. I'll br fighting this struggle for the rest of my life.

thanks for shaeing.

Been in depression since 2 months. Cant do anything anymore

kill me now

I fought depression for 9 years before I survive depression Im always out of control for killing myself everytime I'm with my loveonce I pretend to be happy always smile but inside I always try to kill myself last year before I decide to let go and get depression over I almost let someone to kill me but still I fought through sometimes I released my depression on games but it was much worse still it's attacking so bad I didn't tell anyone until I finally defeat depression with my will to live still continue through hard ways I loss my bff he died because of colon cancer instead of totally Free I almost mess up because I forgot to say thank you to my friend who never left my side before everyone leaves my side no one wants to comfort me to stop me killing myself I always want to be alone that time where I don't trust anyone including myself I always thought they will be so happy if I'm dead to make long story short I survived depression and proud to be a true fighter

I just got diagnosed with a depressive disorder and I just was speechless I've been suffering from depression for 2 years but when somebody pits a label on it it just feels different
I don't feel sad usually, just some fatigue and sensory issues
I always thought I had anxiety but after being diagnosed with depression
I I just don't know what to say or do it just feels different now

Depression isn't something you overcome; it's something you can temporarily delay or alleviate. There are different spectrums of depression, from mildly depressed (e.g., extreme boredom, loneliness, lack of motivation/attention span, no sexual drive, etc.) all the way to suicidal. The thing that has helped me stay in the middle and lower end of depression (most days) is working out. Do some kind of physical activity, even if it's just a short walk. Release some endorphins. Also, read books—even if they are audiobooks. Many studies show how books help alleviate depression, reduce stress, and keep your mental health in good shape—even if you just read five pages a day. Video games and movies can be a good escape, but they can also deter you from doing more productive work, so let video games and movies be more of an incentive. Also, stay off social media: easier said than done, but trust me on this. You don't have to have a hobby to be happy, but it definitely helps and incentivizes hard work

I used to have depression dysthimia and mood swings happy sad but now I have MAJOR a depression and all I think about is suicide I would take the mood swings gladly ❤

😔

man, as a kid, its really hard to tell if you have depression or not. i mean, my parents always say things that make me hurt, and ive been thinkiing about leaving home, although i dont have anywhere to go.

I have depression right now. It feels like every day is the exact same, like a time loop, and nothing interesting is happening in my life. I feel hopeless, and trapped. My parents don't talk to me enough, and I feel too embarrassed to tell them.
