Im absolutely cooked
1:20 nope my fav things are what STOP me from being stressed
I’ve been thinking of telling a teacher I trust (he also used to be the counselor) that it’s been getting really bad but honestly I don’t even know what to say to him, it all sounds like some attention seeking when I say it out loud
I really think that if something doesn’t change I’m not gonna be albe to go on any longer, and if I don’t do it, I’m scared what my life is gonna look like, because I can barely function now and I’m about to turn 18. How am I supposed to get a job and maintain it if I can’t even spend 30 minutes studying for some test
Not gonna lie I know I’m mentally breaking and am just watching this as a checklist like “Yup that sounds about it”
"talk to your family member" I..honestly..I'm actually afraid of my father…if I remember the punishment my father gave me when I was 6 years old just because of a small mistake…I was doused with cold water repeatedly without a break..it was like my father didn't give me a chance to breathe…
PSYCH2GO YOU ARE A INSPIRATIONAL YOUTUBER! PLEASE DONT EVER HARM YOURSELF AND ALWAYS BELIEVE IN YOU!
Madatyahar Churna from Planet Ayurveda has the best results for boosting concentration power
I relate to every single one of these and i can’t tell anyone because i don’t have support in my life
Ruh roh
I personally struggle with lots of this but whenever I tell someone I just can't understand myself and I feel just like an empty shell people always say your overreacting there are some people out there who r actually deppesd. Like I have a brother that has lots of mental stuff and when I told my friend I kinda scared of him my friend just said "u don't look scared around him and I doubt he does anything bad because all brother hit" but I mean like when he hit me I would get bruises. Though me and my brother relationship has gotten better I still struggle with daily life things and everything just feels exhausting I just want to sleep and be left alone and just get though the day.
Was, wenn alles zutrifft, es aber keinen Grund dafür gibt?
Theyll day , your just lazy. It's an excuse
1:59 i can’t even do one thing that i have to do list
Off topic but your voice is so relaxing to listen to
I don't care about seeing other people in the crowd.
PUBLISH HARM TRAUMA AND ILLEGAL but it was bad happening to become DARK SIDE
I don't feel emotions normally anymore. I used to feel everything normally but after a heartbreak and surviving extreme depression, I've stopped feeling. It's not like I don't feel anything. I smile when I'm outside because I have to, but I don't feel disgust, sadness, excitement or anxiety. We got a new car, I wasn't happy, I found out my elder sister was assaulted and I agree that it was bad and helped her through it but I didn't feel sad, or angry, just something cold. I don't feel sadness easily, but if someone pushed me too much I do, like once a month there comes a time when I randomly start crying. I have close friends, I talk to them sometimes but it's exhausting, I don't feel attached to them. Small things make me detach from people quickly and I prefer staying alone. I rarely leave my house except for school. I'm slowly distancing myself from everyone except my one bsf, whom I truly enjoy spending my time with, but even with her, I'm not very attached to her, she's just comfortable and fun to be around.
I'm not completely abnormal, I acknowledge what is bad, but I don't feel sadness or anger. I smile when I get up and look pretty, I still dance when I'm alone, I sometimes stand still and just watch the trees, or I sit in silence and think about nothing. I used to be an overthinker but I'm not anymore. I feel good when I write my novel or play online games. I get happy when I see couples online, but I no longer wish to have someone like that with me. It's confusing. I used to be very emotional, I cried over the smallest things and I wanted to be everyone's therapist and help them. But now I can't cry even at the biggest things. I hate when someone shares their feelings with me as I find it exhausting, I'm even on a journey to find series or movies to make me cry, because I miss feeling like a normal human, but even the saddest movies fail to make me cry. My highschool exams are going on, I used to be a topper and was always very anxious about exams but I can't bring myself to care about these. I'm studying for the sake of it and it's going fine I'd say, but I miss being anxious and paranoid about everything.
It wasn't sudden, I remember crying daily for hours in 2024 and I got better in 2025, that's when I decided to choose peace and cut off anyone who bothers me, but it eventually led me i emotionally disconnect with literally everyone. Idk what this phase is, sometimes I'm fine with how I am, but other times, I want to feel silly again. I want to be delusional again, I'd choose sadness if it meant I'll feel anything. I don't know what this condition is called.
I've mentioned before that I "feel" happy when I do certain things, but sometimes I wonder do I really feel happy, or is it just me pretending that I still have emotions. When i cry, it's usually because my periods are around and I've been going through a lot. Like i only cried like once this year cuz of some family dispute.
If i be honest, I don't even remember what real happiness, sadness or anxiousness feels like. It's as if i had chased so much peace that I've gone completely blank.
don't you ever just feel like you want to stitch your mouth closed?
I’m hopeless.
I escaped 3 years of toxic, vicious, passive aggressive emotional abuse from multiple close friends. we were in a friend group of 4 so all the abuse was targeted at me. now my mental health is getting worse because i don't know how to heal. So, i've just been spiraling ever since i escaped. I feel numb, emotionless, and unmotivated and i tear up very easily if im not keeping my mind occupied. This happens every day.
Emotional abuse is real.💔
#4 inconsistent sleep schedule meanwhile me : whatching this at 2 am… if anyone was wondering 10/10 symptoms shown here and im not even a teen yet (not my parents fault) but its nice to know im not alone
1:26 I STARE OUT AT THE LITTERAL PILES OF HOMEWORK BEING DONE AT 4:11 AM
“huh.”
Hi❤ im really late
Number 10 sounds BS but the rest is pretty valid and I can relate to those. But I really feel like this list was going to be a top 9 only, but that's not as catchy.
Me after listening to this video: oh so im not actually okay
My mind : yes you are ok, you have a roof over your head ,you have parents and you have food what else do you need ? Just do what you're told and stop being dramatic
I was thinking am i the only one overthinking that I am mentally stressed?? Now looks I can relate to almost all the comments here…
a quick question.. not about this video but something different: do you know what I should say to my friend after she tought I'm acting, when i was feeling very dizzy and couldnt text probably. I asked her for help and stuff and then in the next day she texted me "stop acting .." and then i said I'm not acting and stuff but then her only answers were "ok", now I want to text her to tell her it was the truth but.. I don't know what to tell her or if she is going to believe me. It's been 5 or 6 days since I texted her or she texted me.
I doubt anyone will read this, but I’ve been feeling depressed since I was a teenager. Off and on, and for a while, I didn’t feel that bad, but recently it got pretty bad again. I don’t feel like I matter in my job, or to my friends, and I feel like I could easily just disappear and nothing would change. I don’t want to feel this way, but I don’t know how to change it. I don’t have any answers. I wish it would change, but it feels impossible that I’d suddenly start mattering to anyone. I think I’m worthless, and I don’t have the mental capacity to change anything really.
I sleep like 4 hours everyday.
Well atleast you guys make progress. I dont bieleve in it. I tried it when i was younger lived with it all my life nothing changes. So when i see my dr i dont talk or speak to him and her about my life or what i feel. I just straight up lie and say am good or fine with smile. And i do it so well becuase i was a actor in high school so it comes natural to me to play the role. 😂😂😂 but overall people try to get me to talk to others for my head injury and depression and anti social, Axeity. I got jesus and thats all i need in my life. I dont need help from drs. I have come to terms with that.
Maybe this will work if you're neurotypical, but for someone who's neurodivergent. Mm…
Hey! I used a clip of your video in a mental health PSA for our school film program submission. This was very nice thank you!
Why am I even alive? Everyone perceives me as an inconvenience, everyone would be better off without me. If everyone is just going to be forgotten unless they're famous, rich or dead then why not just die? In the grand scheme of all of this, does my stupid life have a purpose? I don't have a purpose in life, the only reason I'm alive is the fact I'm scared when the very few people who care about me will follow along the path I took and I hate the path I took. I hate it, I just hate it so much. Everyone thinks that their stunning work to me is awful and that makes me feel completely dead and useless. I'm tired of saying "I love your work!" I don't. It makes me want to kill myself. I've tried countless times but it seems I can never improve or I end up cutting and burning myself on purpose. Nobody knows this. I don't trust my terrible family with this information. My dad hates us because two of us are lgbtq, he's made me have several panic attacks and want to kill myself. I'll never be who I truly want to be. Whenever I'm around people I put on a fake smile, fake laugh and pretend everything's ok. They haven't caught on and I'm happy about that. I laugh at my mistakes and curl up on the floor while screaming random thoughts, that's the only accurate way to convey my feelings. I hate my life I hate the path I've taken. I want it to all end. I've lied to everyone and I've betrayed everyone I know. I've told absurd lies and love people that hate me. I'm a murderer, my thoughts tell me I am. I don't want to talk about that since it's very private but I want to be a murderer to get rid of the thing that caused this terrible life and gave it no structure. I failed as a student, everyone seems to be better than me. I failed as a child, nobody likes me. I failed as a friend, I betrayed everyone I know. I watch tons upon tons of videos everyday and they all say the same things "talk to someone!" Or "you aren't alone!" I have rage, depression, sadness, and jumbled thoughts in my brain. I've been exposed to terrible things at an awfully young age. I have to have support for the simplest things, I have to buy prebuilt things and feel like a failure each time I do. I'm too scared to tell anyone. I'm done I'm done I'm done. I'm broken past the point of return. I'm DONE I'M DONE I'M DONE WITH LIFE I'M JUST A WORTHLESS PIECE OF JUNK.
This is the only help I have found, my family intentionally makes emotional breakdowns into a gang up on me circus
These are what my parents refer to as "Lazy" without even checking on me properly
My uncle got mental health issues That why he doesn’t call his mom mom
Well deleted
Mom: did you cry? Talk to me. I'm here I'll listen to you
Me: telling problems (my dad)
The very same day like an hour or two after that
Being confronted about my problems and nothing got solve. The only thing I get it "you need to change yourself if you want this"
This really helps. I’ve been talking to my parents about how I’ve felt, and they keep telling me to toughen it out. It really hurts. And when I try talking to them they don’t seem to understand. It really takes energy to think and do stuff…
Wonderful, all of them apply to me…
i hate that people think autism means stupidity
