Hello new friend

SPOILER: THIS IS NOT AN ENTERTAINING YOUTUBE CHANNEL.
In 2012, I signed up on YouTube and started uploading random videos about my college and Tumblr life. After a long hiatus on the social platform, I’m back.
Actually, this was an “assignment” and a cooperation between me and my Psychiatrist. In October 2017, I started having again the symptoms of Major Depressive Disorder and was under medication and therapy. In November 2017, I came out on Facebook about my diagnosis and just by the end of January 2018, I planned to go on a hiatus on social media and from my closest friends (I’m sorry, guys).
It was just an idea that my very awesome therapist and I conceptualized and I didn’t expect to enjoy educating people and breaking the stigma on Mental Health.
My YouTube channel is not intended for those into “challenges”, make-up tutorials, gaming streaming and any of the trendy contents that you see. IF YOU WANT TO BREAK THE STIGMA WITH ME, PLEASE DO CHECK AND SUBSCRIBE TO MY CHANNEL: CLICK ME

How to Talk to Someone with Depression
In my previous video (click here), I talked about things we need to avoid when you’re speaking to people diagnosed with depression.
When someone is physically ill, it’s very obvious with the way how they work and how they interact, and by that time, you already know what to tell them like “Try to go home and take a rest.” “I can buy you some fruits.” “If you need any help with tasks, just tell me and I’ll do the best that I can.”
But when it comes to mental illnesses, everyone in general, including me (which is ironic because I am diagnosed), it’s always hard to find your spot. I know, I’ve been talking about how debating has been one of my problems so I tried to put together some things that I myself, and maybe you, would like to hear.
So here are I think some ways on how to talk to someone with depression:
1. You can tell me how you’re feeling. I’ll listen and try to understand.
First of all, to explain something that we ourselves can’t even understand is hard. Some of us would just be telling you, “I don’t know”. But the idea that you are showing that you are trying to understand and not just concluding what I’m going through is an enough help for me.
2. You can share once you’re ready. No need to rush. I’m always here for you.
Everything comes at the right time. There would be times when we wanted to be alone, and please, don’t think of us as an asshole if we ignore your texts or calls. When you show to us how patient you are, we know that you truly care.
3. Here’s a funny and embarrassing story that happened today…
I know this doesn’t work most of the times. My bestfriend always does this and most of the times, it works, and sometimes, I didn’t care because I’m numb (ugh medications). But when you try to divert our attention and showing to us that we are someone whom you are willing to tell stories gives some points to our self-worth.
4. I can even help you with some tasks.
Think about depression as when you’re in bed and the bed keeps hugging you and you feel that it’s eating you alive. That’s depression. Most of people with depression shows symptoms such as not caring much about their personal hygiene or doing any chores. Getting up out of bed is really hard. But also, for some, please don’t abuse *wink*
5. I always admire you for being *insert that person’s achievements*
This will help us boost our self-worth and self-esteem. This will help us get reminded that there’s a time in our life that we achieved something and that our life is worth celebrating.
6. You are not nag-iinarte or weak.
It’s very important to accept the fact that any mental illness is real. I know, some people are high maintenance, but it is not their choice. Additionally, people suffering from mental illness keep what they’re going through because people think that having illness is a sign of weakness and that everyone should look after them 24/7.
7. Don’t blame yourself. It’s not your fault.
One common symptom or a trigger is when you feel guilt. People with depression think that because sometimes, they can’t function properly, they are to be blamed for not being productive. Also, they feel bad everytime they say “No” to social gatherings, for becoming disorganized or for forgetting something.
8. Silence.
Sometimes, space is important. And most of the times, listening with compassion and showing you truly care are more than enough than words.
These ways to talk to people doesn’t really apply to all cases. Even myself, I forget my limitations. You are his/her friends so try to put yourself to his/her shoes. We are all human beings and by nature, what we all wanted is to feel loved.
