Triggers - Depression Video Transcripts
Video 1 Transcript
Some of the triggers that make my depression worse are just things that are pretty deep and just emotionally taxing, especially if I haven't emotionally prepared myself for it. It can really hit me hard and I personally tend to take on a lot of other people's emotions and issues and so if there's a movie that has something to do with mental health or suicide, stuff like that, it really weighs heavy on me afterwards. So if you are similar to that and have noticed that, I think that just preparing yourself and being aware that that might happen with that and helping other people to know that that might happen with you so that they can support you and just be aware of what might happen and what they can do to help.

I'd say most often the times I've had depression in my life, usually when I get into a really depressive state, the thing that would just push me right over that trigger would be something really sad happening to me, if it's like I receive sad news, or there's a big change in my life, or something doesn't go the way I planned, or someone says or does something, or you lose a or you or someone passes away, you know, there's just all these different things that happen to other people and things that have happened to me, where I've fallen into this really deep depression. And once some one of those things happens, it's just a spiral, and it just keeps going. And then I think, oh, I have this, and I have this and this, and then all just comes crashing down. And I've gone into some really dark places because of it.

I find the main trigger for my depression is when things just aren't going right in one day. Everything is going wrong, everything's getting on top of me, everything's annoying me, pissing me off. It just really triggers my depression and I end up tearful. If I'm sick, if I don't take my medication for depression for about three days, after three days I get quite down and out quite tearful.

Something that triggers me a lot is when people joke about suicide and saying like, I'm gonna kill myself or exact quote, like I'm gonna kill myself or I'm gonna commit suicide, I'm gonna jump off the bridge, just whatever they say. That's really triggering for me, especially when I have a lot of those thoughts like seriously and not in a joking matter and it'll be something like somebody trips and they're like, oh, I'm gonna kill myself, that's so embarrassing. I find that's really, really triggering for me and it's really hard when people joke about it when it can, it was such a hard, it is such a hard thing in my life. So I think that's probably one of the worst triggers for me. I also think the winter makes my depression really, really bad and just not seeing the sun. But the main thing though, is people joking about suicide. So maybe don't do that everyone.

So I've been chronically depressed now for at least 12 years, maybe even longer. And it's hard for me to understand how some people are like, oh yeah, I feel depressed. But they're not, they just feel really, really sad in that moment. So I found out my triggers would be, you know, if somebody makes a comment about anything with me, my weight, whatever. If somebody touches me the wrong way, and it reminds me of my PTSD, it makes me upset. If somebody hurts my feelings, if I'm uncomfortable in a situation, if I'm by myself and I'm already upset, and then I just spiral down. So there's been a lot of triggers for me for my depression, but there's a lot, like it's really hard to pinpoint every single one, because there is many. And I know everybody has a different experience when it comes to depression and what triggers them to go into that state.
