The irony of depression is that a truly "bad' person would never castigate themselves for being a bad person.
-
In my experience, when I have a depressive episodes I am aware that I'll recover but that makes me even more depressed because I feel like I've been living a loop my whole life and no matter if I recover I'll fall again and feel terribly awful again, have psychotic thoughts, paranoia and/or make shitty decisions

It feels like being trapped in life No one can see how much you are suffering and you don't have the energy to explain it. They would never understand...
-
Whether you have depression or not.. everyone should watch this! It’s a very real illness.
-
The fact that depression is dismissed so easily is sad, and dismissed especially by abusive people. It can be as deadly as cancer.
-
I think one reason why we tend to isolate also is bc we see our depressed self as a burden to others. In one way, moving on alone made my decisions easier, that said it is tough to handle the worst of times by yourself. Yeah, I believe talking to somebody ought to be better.
-
I had heard the most dangerous time for a depressed person is as they start to recover. As the malaise begins to lift, if they had suicidal thoughts they now have the energy to act on them.
-
When I was in my last depressive episode, I was convinced that I was a horrible wife and mother, and that my family would be better off without me. Those thoughts are usually when I know I need to ask for help, and thankfully I’m doing much better now. ❤️
-
This is the main way I can catch my depression before it gets worse. It takes a while to get to know your depression voice, but once you do it can save your life. Even if it feels like you’re lying to yourself, fight to be nice to yourself, it’s so worth it
-
We're not sick or depressed. It's society that's sick. Our brains are reacting normally.
-
As someone who's been diagnosed with MDD (Major Depressive Disorder) recently, I cannot stress enough how important it is to seek professional help.
-
I've been so depressed for so long, all this is just normalized lol. When I see videos like this it reminds me that constantly battling these things isn't something society expects.
-
You’ve described my life from 8 yrs old to present at almost 40, in less than 10 minutes, wow 😮😢 especially the isolation part because no one cares or will help anyway, smh. Thank you for this breakdown Dr. Marks
-
“The depression won’t go away but you can manage it” words that have plagued me everyday for years.
-
What really crushes me is when people say "everybody has their problems these days" or "look at all the people who have it way worse than you do." Makes you really not want to talk to anyone
-
This channel and these videos are so helpful. Everyone needs to be educated about mental health and treatment, not just those suffering from a disorder. Thank you for these.
-
It's odd for me because the depression is so complete I've sort of passed into, "too apathetic to care about offing myself" but at the same time, too apathetic to not enjoy things in a sort of Nhilistic, "I could die at any point anyway, not worth not enjoying the moment" kind of mindset that frequently makes me immune to a lot of negative self talk. Also, after trying to off myself enough times and failing repeatedly, I've given up on that, and decided to see what earth and the universe has to offer.
-
I experienced every single lie mentioned here during my depression episode. These lies are so dangerous. Thank you for articulate what i was feeling
-
As someone with a mild/medium depression, I've ve heard this a 100 hundred times before. And I will probably need to hear it another 100. Happiness takes practice but it gets better and easier each time. Thank you for keeping this message going 🙏
