An attempt to show what depression (and anxiety which often accompanies it) is like. Just over 3 minutes... Imagine hours, days, and weeks of this.

  • How is this supposed to help anybody???

  • @loiscoleman It is to show what it is like to have depression. People who don't live with depression don't understand what it is like.

  • As it says in the caption.

  • I feel the same way, the constant repetitions in my head...mine say "I've got to get out. get out. get out. get out. get out get out get out get out getoutgetoutgetoutgetoutgetout­. Looking at you. All of them. Everywhere. They notice you. You're doing something wrong. Get out. " then the blood starts pounding in my ears, my hands shake (they do that all the time though), I need to tap my foot, bounce my knee, spin my pen, movemovemovemove... And when I get home I feel like I'm nothing. Pointless

  • @Nmity01 It isn't easy to deal with this. Doctors often don't realize that anxiety is a major part of depression. I have found that dealing with the anxiety goes a long way in managing the depression. It took me many years to understand the relationship and to be able to ask the doctor for something to manage that anxiety.

  • my mum suffer from deep depression....that really hurts !

  • It is always difficult to see a loved one suffer and not know how to help.

  • The cure to depression is people. Hit and run advice is useless. You (the mentally sound) must visit the depressed and just BE WITH THEM. Don't say anything, just sit with them. Listen to them if they want to talk, but don't force conversation. They might push you away because their self-esteem is low, but don't let that stop you. Be persistant and visit or call them daily. They need to feel unconditional love, not fake sincereity. Love them with all your might. Karma will love you back!

  • Remember YOU ARE A VALUED PART of the whole. I KNOW how hard it can be but you ARE WORTH it.

    I cannot stress it enough SEE your doctor and if your doctor can't help you, see another. I was VERY lucky to have found a really great psychiatrist by chance and she saved my life... Actually, she helped ME save MY life. She was a gerontological psychiatrist (dealt with seniors) and despite my being in my 40s, she took me on. She was fantastic.
