What Does Depression Feel Like? (Page 2)

[Mediterraneansoul]

It feels like an isolated place and everyone else is a treath to your mental peace

[Youryeodongsaeng]

It's like you're going to snap at them at any second.

Severe depression; It literally feels like you’re not meant to be here. It’s a deep feeling of “im not wrong. im not over reacting. I’m not meant to be here”. No matter how much help you get, how many people say that they love you, you just KNOW in your gut you will never be happy on earth and being alive is a mistake and you’re not meant to live long. It’s an awful feeling. Especially when the anti-depressants don’t work, it like verifies your thought that “im not meant to be here”

I’m too drained to type it all out but right now I’m just numb

[Kelly6]

Sad
lonely
left alone
no one care for you.
others think you are weird.
others think you are wrong.
what will he think of you.
what will others think of you.

all this running in your mind

[Better_off_here]

it is like being locked in a sealed box with no way out.
it feels hopeless and it is awful to feel that you will not ever be happy or find a way out of said box too. and yes you can not just snap yourself out of it at all.

The best video to explain depression is by Robert Sapolsky PhD.

Depression is a different feeling for anyone who was diagnosed with it.

[Bubbles16]

I've never had depression but from what I've heard its when you feel like there's no hope

[Youryeodongsaeng]

That sums up half of it. There's lots of sources that causes depression and there's lots of explanations to tell what depression is like. For me, my cause of depression is most likely me not liking how things are now.
Someone had told me that I'm making up excuses for being depressed when really I can find happiness within myself. Part of what that person was telling me is true, but I'll still have depression, I just won't be as down as I am now once I find that happiness.

[Juxtapose]

It feels like weakness leaving the body. Your transformation is complete when you find happiness through determination.

[Djmbbasgerd]

i dont know, I've never felt anything or cared about anything, im completely careless and emotionless

Depression? Isn't that just a fancy word for feeling bummed out?

[Youryeodongsaeng]

No. It's so much more to depression. You'll feel very unmotivated to do anything, you won't take care of yourself like you're supposed to, you don't want to go outside, etc. Depression doesn't come and goes within a span of a few months if you were diagnosed as a child or early or in your late teens. If you've been just diagnosed with depression, and don't know when it occurred, then it could take months to "be cured" from it, but you need to do some things for the betterment of yourself. Though I doubt depression will "come and go" just like that in a span of a few months.
Depression can also lead to suicide. That is how serious it is and should never be ignored. When someone says they feel depressed or that they are, I'm not going to listen to them because a person with depression or any disorders will start with, "I have" instead of "I feel" and "I am" because that's just them guessing that they "have" depression.

Feeling bummed out doesn't last forever. For most people, they'll get over that feeling in a span of a month or less.
I know that there are many other causes that cause people to feel bummed out. Maybe the start of depression is feeling bummed. But that'll be too early to tell. If you're still feeling bummed about that after a year, then you might have depression. Keep in mind of the daily habits you had before you started to feel bummed out. Because your daily habits can change and you won't be able to be bothered to follow your daily routines anymore.

[Youryeodongsaeng]

I have depression. It was a "late" diagnosis. I was diagnosed with depression when I was 15 or 16 years old. After doing some research on depression, I've realized that it started when I was 12. Me getting out of the habit of taking daily showers. I didn't ever want to leave my room. The only times I needed to was because I had to use the bathroom, eat and go to school. I almost never took showers at the age of 12. I always wanted to be by myself sometimes whenever I was at school. I hadn't attempted at the time. I had also almost gone to the juvenile at that age as well. I threatened to kill my bullies. The middle school officer searched my bag; they found nothing. I was taken to a mental facility.

I started caring about my body when I was 13 or 14. I made sure I brushed my teeth every day because the thought of having gum cancer or tooth decay made me paranoid. I also floss every time something gets stuck in between my teeth as well, to prevent that.
Now, I'm trying to join any event I can just to get out of the house.

You don't feel much and lack emotions towards anything.

[MacLove999]

Medication. What happened to taking antidepressants and working out and eating right. Volunteering.

[ManHater]

Depression feels like you want to fuck.
