Straight A student with active social life? That is not possible with clinical depression…
I love this! The practical steps actually seem doable and realistic, thanks ❤
I feel better after listening to this. There is very useful information that I live by.
Severe depression is genuinely terrifying because your mind turns against you and you are thinking of ways to not exist and that is dark and scary to experience. Truly the worst thing to experience that dread and not know where it will take you, it’s the fear
Medhya Churna of planet ayurveda is the herbal powder that is effective in the management of stress and depression.

This one story of Angelica had literally helped too much of mine and make me more identifiable of my condition of how it's come or why it's there probably this is mental illness ….and this all helps me to get out of my shell.
Once again thanks to you much u the genuine lady ❤
❤
I feel guilty when I’m happy, I sometimes want to cry when I feel like I can breathe again.
This isn’t clinical depression. Just whimsically in sad mood and you don’t suffer from a mental illness. You can hardly wake up or do anything, if you are clinically depressed
I feel so heard and understood. This explains what’s been going on with me for a long time, thank you ❤
I’m shocked I’m even alive still!
Thankyou 💜 🙏
I’m here because I been having one of the worst depressions I’ve ever had. I feel so low. My eyes are bloodshot from tears. My status is like an open wound that’s infected. It takes alot just to put on a mask. I’m barely holding on. I do feel safe from myself currently. The thought of just not feeling or being nothing crosses my mind but not acting on it as I’ve had bipolar disorder most of my life and I’m 45 now. I don’t have anyone to talk to about my problems and it gets lonely. I keep telling myself that I’ll be okay and just to think positive but when I do, I feel like I’m lying to myself and masking myself from myself. Ughh 😞 I just want to get better and feel alive again. Thank you for the video.
Estou atualmente em uma grande crise… Não consigo trabalhar e estou com muita vergonha 😢A culpa é inevitável
Your a great person!! Stick in there!!!
I'm 25 and I've had severe depression since 19 years old, all those years I literally did nothing to try and get better and now I'm so behind and unskilled in life I don't know if I'll ever manage to catch up to my peers. If you're reading this, please try and get help before it's too late. It worsens if you don't treat it. Please don't lose any more years of your life.
No one has described Depression better than this. I can feel the pain in her voice. My recovery after 2 years of depression started by acknowledging that I have a problem. If you’re going through it now, I wish you the best, don’t give up.
Why We Must Be Born Again The Bible Way!!!
The Way Back To Pentecost
When Jesus told Nicodemus, except a man or person be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. St. John 3:5, he was telling him who needed to do it. Now, watch it. Matthew told what to do, Mark told why to do it, Luke told where to do it and John told who to do it. What’s missing? Didn’t nobody tell how to do it, until the great day called Pentecost when Peter stood up to preach.
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Acts 2:38 KJV
What to do? – repent and be baptized. Who? – everyone of you. How do we do it? – in the name of Jesus Christ. Why do it? for the remission of sins. What’s the result of doing it? – and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. The Jews did it. Look at the 8th Chapter of Acts, verse 4, “Therefore they that were scattered abroad went everywhere preaching the Word.” Verse 5 “Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.” Verse 12, “But when they believed Phillip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.”
14. Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:
15. Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:
16. (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) Acts 8:14-16.
In Acts 2, the Jews did it. In Acts 8, the half Jews did it. In Acts 10, the Gentiles did it and in Acts 19, the Baptist folks did it. They all did it because God said that’s the only way to do it.
Of the 66 books in the entire Bible, there’s only one that don’t fit in with any of the groups. That book is the book of Acts, because the book of Acts is the only book in the Bible that tells you how to get save.
And, until Jesus Christ returns in the clouds to call his church away “1st Peter 2:9-10,” this gospel is to be preached by us to every nation and is still in force today till that great getting up morning when the dead in Christ shall rise first, we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them to meet the Lord in the air, so shall we ever be with the lover of our souls.
Will you be saved today, according to the Holy Scriptures? Acts 2:38 KJV is still in force today till God’s body, “the Bride of Christ” is completed.
Relationships outside of God are mostly depressing.
Thank you
Severe depression, bipolar, ptsd, suicidal ideation. Possibly autistic.
The pain started age 7.
Undiagnosed until age 40. The damage of living this long untreated and unhelped is probably non repairable. I tell doctors hardly anything out of fear of being institutionalized.
The meds only help when the conditions are ideal.
Im convinced i can never be what my family needs. Ive lost every job and career ive ever had. I feel useless and cant provide stability or financial support.
This world wasnt meant for people like this.
My last ditch effort is going to be self treatment with amantia muscaria. If this doesnt help then im finished.
This life has been lonely, dark and full of pain. I dont wish it on anyone.
Calling friends! As if you have any after this illness has taken everything
I love the idea but it’s all too much work. 😔
Planet Ayurveda's Brahmi Vati is the best supplement I've tried for mental clarity and calmness. Natural and effective
I might accept my life won't get better once i tried meds & therapy.
