That does sound miserable 😒

@@DrTraceyMarks I have kind of an odd question... Im a 23 yr old who has BPD (not that this matters in this question). I used to baby sit two young (3 &4 yr olds) boys, when the 3 yr old would either: say he has to use the restroom, then stands, stare at me and pees on himself (which to me felt on purpose but hes 3) OR dump toys out all over. Then he'd see me get visibly upset, id say (sometimes yell) something like "why, now help me clean this up"? He'd drop to the floor automatically like a rag doll and began to cry screaming "I can't... I cant move my legs/arms". Id try to pick him up but eventually id have to leave him and he'd be fine and moving minutes later. So finally the question is was he experiencing some type of "leaden paralysis"??? Or something else??

Ne, oder? Completely understand this feeling

Cheers for this, been searching for "how to remove depression from mind" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Hanincoln Nanlivia Framework - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my brother in law got amazing results with it.

This was absolutely me

Yes it happens not everyone fits cleanly and who won subtype

I switch between the two, now im atypical again

I have symptoms of both, too. It switches from time to time.

I have more symptoms associated with the "atypical" feature, but a couple of the "melancholic" ones actually fit me better. Ahhhhhh, BP2 DISORDER. Such a joy to behold! Not. 😩😩😩

Yeah, I fit in the atypical, except of feelling better in the morning, for me it's the worse in the morning on the days it hits, and almost every time it happens I also get euforic in the evening, my entire percepton gets shifted, but I gues it's because of the hpd

@to be deleted I'm sorry you live with this too

@to be deleted how ya feeling right now?!

Indeed. "You seem alright to me", " Come on, you don't look depressed", " if you were depressed, you would bé in bed all day"....are you referring to these kind of comments? 😁

Same. I reached out to teacher about it years ago but he said it’ll pass. It’s been two years and I’ve been waiting to feel happier even tho my outlook and life style has kinda changed the feeling in me have still lingered. And I’m unsure of what to do, since no one takes me seriously.

Honestly, self diagnosis isn't as bad as people make it out to be -- do proper research first and seek treatment. It's important to recognize that some people simply can't afford it either. Just be cautious with self diagnosing.

@@nightshademasquerade4703 got diagnosed with depression 3 months after I commented this. 👀

I definitely go back and forth as well, though this video was helpful to see how many of my symptoms that present at the same time tend to fall into either one category or the other.

yes at times i try to convince myself that i’m faking it and that’s it’s not real, it truly tiring

@McKayla Marille I’m getting pretty convinced mine is probably a placebo effect at this point, the things I do confuses me.

Yeah same here. When I am Happy in happy moments, I try to convince myself that I am alright, I don't have depression or I was just faking it. But then again after some time, Depression kicks in so hard, life becomes shit again.

@@IISuperw If you have access to a therapist or doctor you should really see one. Even being in therapy for a month or so can give you the tools to find and maintain a better balance. It's helping me.

As a Nigerian I can attest to this, it’s difficult dealing with mental health in These parts

Hi Vicky thecat... I have this same type of depression!!! Oh my gosh, I didn't think anyone else suffered from the same thing. I've been researching types of depression forever and have never heard any describe it exactly the way I do. 😊😊😊 I used to wake up and be completely unable to move, even if I was uncomfortable or in pain, I just laid there for hours. I was suicidal, planning how to do it, and actively getting rid of things so no one would have to clean up after me, but even when I was so depressed all I could do was lay there. The longest I laid in bed was 23-24 hours without getting up to even use the bathroom. The longest I haven't showered was 21 days, didn't brush my teeth for 11 days, didn't cut my hair for a year, had to chop it all off bc it was getting tangled bc I never had the energy/motivation to brush it. I barely ate anything, I lost a lot of weight. I'm only a few pounds away from being underweight. I only ate 300-700 calories a day, sometimes I didn't eat for 5 days at a time. I haven't been able to work for 1.5 years, and my work history prior to that was very spotty. I was working about 14 hours a week. I felt/feel like no one would understand how bad it was, that they would think I was just being lazy or making it up for attention. I thought they would just tell me to get a job and I won't be depressed (doesn't work like that bc I've worked full time and overtime and was still depressed lol). It turns out I am an INFJ (rare personality), I have Avoidant PD (fear of abandonment and judgement), OCPD (not OCD!!), anorexia, cotard delusions (tho that has gotten better since I've learned about GI health), crazy bad depression that meets the criteria for several different types including PMDD. I highly recommend that you check out Frank James' old videos (he's an INFJ), ck2d (the only AvPD source I've been able to find), ocpd: my life in debris (he has OCPD not OCD), Dr. Todd Grande's videos on personality disorders (not the murder mystery type videos he does), and of course Dr. Tracey Marks' videos! She made a video called "Brain Zaps and Antidepressants - Why Do they Happen? " that inspired me to get on a low dose of Prozac. I had tried Citalopram years ago and hated it. I felt like a zombie. Prozac has helped tremendously, as well as learning about psychology and different types of personalities (MBTI). You can't change who you are, you can't change the world, but there is something remarkably helpful about understanding that it's NOT YOUR FAULT. Also, my mother turns out to be a communal narcissist, which explains a lot. That was hard to accept. Patrick Teahan LICSW makes videos about recovery from Narc parents (they are not narc bashing). The type of person I'm most likely to fall in love with is Histrionic (pathological cheater) and/or Narcissists. Idk if there is anyone that I'd feel comfortable spending my life with, but being alone is far better than being with toxic people. I'm working on building a life that I will be happy to live, alone. 💜💜💜 I hope all this helps you!!! Good luck!! 💜💜💜

@@unhealthyinfj3530 Thank YOU soo much - for sharing your story, for sharing what you've tried, what has helped you. Truly truly thankful. It is only people who suffer the same way as we do that probably can understand the severity of it all. I'm the least lazy person I know - always top of my class, always a workaholic, but just like you, my cv has many holes in them. What were they? Me unable to move in the morning. My limbs not working, my brain not able to send the signals to say 'ok, get up now, you stink/you need to eat/drink'. I even peed many times in my bed while fully awake because I could not get up. I will look into everything you wrote about. Thanks again; let's stay strong together, fight our demons, fight them for future generations, raise awareness. Wish you all the best in life.

This used to happen to me. Trust me when I say this. I know how you feel. Im better now and have very few episodes because I keep praying to God. If you want I will pray for you as long as I have permission.

@@vickythecat1741 I should also mention that I split my Prozac tablets, I take half in the am and half in the evening. The first week or two I experienced some hypomania (insomnia, irritability, talking to myself lol), but I was also exposed to a very stressful life event the same day I started taking it, and the trigger came back a few times after that. The hypomania wasn't anywhere near as bad as what people with full blown mania experience, so I stayed on, and like I said, it faded. Splitting the pill might help you if you experience that, but be careful not to overdose if you decide to switch your pill schedule (don't take a full pill at night, then half a pill in the am, bc you'll be over.. take half a pill or skip a day after you've taken it for awhile). Also btw, I just got some blood results back... I have very low white blood cells, low platelets (maybe a clotting disorder, hopefully not cancer..), and low TSH (hyperthyroidism, perhaps Addison's). As I said earlier I haven't been able to work for 1.5 years. I have also had a ton of medical problems that were never diagnosed despite seeing multiple specialists years ago. For the past few years I have felt that I had an autoimmune disease, bc my energy level has been so low. My new hospital is so great.. they have an online system where I can see my test results as soon as they are posted, and they list what the normal ranges are so I can see where I stand. Very easy to understand. As I said my mood is so much better, but my energy level is very, very low. Perhaps you should consider getting some blood tests done as well? You might have some type of adrenal/cortisol/thyroid fatigue syndrome that is either causing or contributing to your depression.. It's never simple, is it? I hope you're able to figure it all out soon!! Best wishes 💜💜💜 Not that I'd ever wish this level of misery on anyone, but I am so happy to have found someone else who has been thru the same thing. Makes me feel so much less alone!! Thank you!! 💜💜💜😊😊😊

@@christiafisher5995 I'm not religious, but certainly wouldn't be offended if you did that 😊 I will keep you both in my heart, bc I know as well as you do that it is not easy to get thru that type of depression. I'm glad to hear you are doing better! Sometimes I can feel one coming on, I've even cried a couple of days, but it was NOWHERE near as bad as it was before. I can move. I can get out of bed. I am able to shake off the sadness and find something else to do. I never thought I'd be able to do that. I hope you continue to do well 💜💜💜

I'm so sorry John :( I will pray for you!!

Aww! I am so sorry, John! I hope things get better for you.

I’m sorry 🥺

I hope your doing okay

I'm very sorry and I do hope things get better. 🙂

Lol me too😂

Thanks both of you for watching!

and meeeeeee

@@DrTraceyMarks my brain I also can't use and the hallusionations is so many

@@DrTraceyMarks sorry to be such a nuisance my pills almost done and don't get to a hospital all so expensive here doc please come back to me please what I've asked earlier

Today, the mushroom compound is being used in clinical trials for end-of-life anxiety, treatment-resistant depression, addiction, eating disorders and other conditions with unprecedented success, and psilocybin-assisted therapy has been given FDA “breakthrough therapy” status as a treatment for depression.

xxr_psychedelic Has the best record of good strains n they will teach you all you need to know before dispensing...you gon be grateful

You’re welcome, and thank you. I’m glad they’re helpful for understanding your family. That’s a very good reason to watch them.😊

yes Jeff try to look for signs and search what symptoms u have what makes u happy what turns down ur mood and energy level etc

Thanks so much Jeff.. That’s so cool that you look forward to Wednesday’s. I guess it’s currently Thursday morning for you (and Wednesday night here). I’m working hard to stay well and you do the same 😊

Thank you. I’m glad you find the video is helpful.

Thank you TE. And you stay well too 👍🏽😊

Thanks so much Will!

Hi Molly. I’m not at a half million yet! Lol! The next level is the gold play button which is 1 million subscribers. I’m not going to hold my breath for that, But I would be ecstatic if I got there. 😊

Me too 💯 I have some of each

Hugs and kisses from above 🍧🍨

@@rashimasimmons7583 Thank you very much and same to you

You’re welcome.😊

You’re welcome Dr. B 😊

Thanks ever so much Anthony. I really appreciate it. ❤️

Thank you Christia. I try to keep them brief and focused on one issue at a time.

Hi Barry thanks for your question. Depression can certainly come along with other problems like personality disorders and even medical problems. Depression can be a manifestation of gluten intolerance Or a parrot after a heart attack or stroke. But we would still treat it equally with the original disorder if the symptoms were severe enough. In other words we wouldn’t say let’s address your CPTSD first and then your depression shit resolved. We will retreat the depression simultaneously with the other problem.

i'm interested in this as well

I seem to have features of both as well. I know that I definitely have Avoidant PD, which she said would most likely mean I have atypical depression, but I have 5/6 Melancholic features, and only 3/6 Atypical features. You should check out the channel Polar Warriors, he has made a lot of videos relating to Bipolar mania, and other types of mania and depression. I'm not bipolar, but I find his videos very informative, relaxing, and helpful. 💜💜💜 Good luck

Hi Lorelei. Yes you can have both it doesn’t have to be a clean separation between the two kinds of symptoms. With mixed mania you have a combination of manic symptoms and depression symptoms. Manic symptoms are completely different from atypical features of depression. They are a lot more extreme. Watch this video I did on mixed mania ukposts.info/have/v-deo/hqdeZYR8rpejtps.html

That's crazy. The Dr answered this question. That's wonderful. I was also interested in this same dilemma. I also believe I am in very deep situational depression if there is such a thing. I'm 56 and my life has completely fallen apart these last three years. It resembles ZERO of what it was before. It's hard finding any footing.

@Al Za I don't take any offense to that at all. You're entitled to your own opinion about things. However, personality type is not even close to the same thing as Zodiac signs. MBTI correlates to the FFM (OCEAN) that psychologists/psychiatrists use to evaluate patients. Zodiac is not scientific in the slightest bit. I've met lots of people with my Zodiac sign but totally different personalities, yet the people with my Personality type all share remarkably similar thoughts and behaviors.

That’s a great topic. I’ll Look into this and see if there’s any solid information on correlating types of depression with personalities I’m not sure if there is I’ll have to look into it. And I I love spunky! 😊 That’s a big compliment thank you.

You’re welcome Giuliana. Thanks for sharing. If you switch back I hope it’s a good switch for you.

@@DrTraceyMarks Thanks. I know getting off the Effexor first will be really hard. Have a good evening!

You’re welcome B 😊

Oh I’m so glad to hear that Vraylar is working well for you. 😊👍🏽

I think so too

Thank you Pankaj and John! 😊

Hi John I love that! I guess I am secretly trying to make all of you Psychiatrists. I’m gradually adding on layers of complexity and before you know it you’ll know everything I know 😃

Dr. Tracey Marks I doubt knowing every thing you know. 😎

I suffer both 🤣 I'm Ah an extremist, huff
