- note : i am not depressed nor suicidal but i just think that mental health should be taken seriously and have more awareness to it. I make these types of videos so people can relate to it and know they are not alone. I also make these so people could try seek help and let their emotions out in the comment section and also know they arent the only ones going through whatever is happening.

Asking a depressed person: “why are you depressed, life is beautiful” is like asking someone with asthma:” why do you have asthma, there is so much air to breath”
Yeah. And I am actually athsmatic. It's horrible to breathe sometimes. My parents don't see how upset school makes me either.
Roxanne Wylie aw I’m sorry🥺 I’m here for you if you needa talk❤️
thats so true and i'm depressed and anorexic and people say to me "just eat something" and they don't understand that i can't
Feelingsarebroke yeah someone said, “Why are you depressed? Just be happy,” to me and I almost lost it because it’s not a joke. It’s a struggle you can’t just get rid of it like that with one day of being happy, if you could then you’re not depressed; you’re just sad.
True
Its all scary... To communicate with people and tell them about the... Problem. Even if i can relate with them its alot
Quickscareman hey 😊 I know talkings scary I hope you can get the right words out 💫
True I want to kill myself but I can't just for my family
Exactly...
I understand how you feel I tried talking to my mum bout my problem but I just can't I can't explain to them how I feel just the anxiety takes over
Yeah it scares me to open up to anyone again
HOW DOES THIS NOT HAVE MORE VIEWS
Chemicalpanic!piløts ik!
They just don’t care about this, they try to ignore it
Agreed
Ikr!
maybe people already watched her speech at Ted ex youtube acc
my mom said depression is just another word for sadness
mAUrEEeEEn. A She's very wrong.. I hope she learns that there's a difference, a big one.
mAUrEEeEEn. A its not , depression and sasdness r different things
So does my mom! It pisses me off so much and she said I was overreacting when i told her u was depressed and suicidal and she did nothing. Damn I wanna move out so bad😂
They're different, I can tell but I also tell myself depression isn't a word, it doesn't exist in my world. My world isn't going to be ran by depression..
What's depression?... Why is it controlling others?... In my world it doesn't exist and it feels great... "Why can't other people's world be like mine?"... I ask myself, because no one listens to what I have to say. When I speak they shut me down because they know I've never had depression and automatically think I have no idea what's going on with them... Just because I've never experienced it doesn't mean I don't know how to help..
I'm ready to be told the same thing over and over again.. I've heard every thing already so would anyone like to put fourth effort to telling me that I'm wrong, that I can't help, that they're diagnosed with depression, that I don't know their pain...
I've heard it all guys, I'm just trying to help.
Its not...........
My mom said depression is just part of growing up when I told her. She's refusing to get me diagnosed because she said 'you're not depressed.'
Mom, I cut myself every day for months on end. I don't want to get out of bed every morning. I stay up late thinking bad thoughts, hoping it will all be okay one day. My mind is a blank maze, everywhere a dead end.
Mom, I'm not okay
•Zu• I’m lucky to have a mother who has depression herself, when she was younger she self harmed and felt completely alone. I’m lucky to have a mother who understands how horrible life feels. I hope someday, your mother will just at least try to understand you.
You’ll get through this I promise I love you and I care about you 💕
Parents don't understand.
They think its just a phase .
Teenage hormones.
Even for attention.
Why can't they believe us?
Why don't they understand?
.............
Why don't they care?
@Mxlly exactly
well... in my case, I don't know how to tell them... but they probably won't care about it...
"And for everyone of those at least 100 attempt." That was the line that really stuck with me. I never knew the number was that high. This was an amazing piece, thanks for sharing
VinoVenitas yeah me too
I have tried to commit suicide 2 different times
I have tried 5 times and I'm 12. All I can think is why do people have too walk into the room? I struggle because the only thought in my head is the pills in the cabinet.
are you guys ok? u know it's hard but you better tell your parents, they can really help you with it, and call a psychologist
merel joosen I know. If it weren't for my parents they may have been more than attempts. I'm not better... but at least I'm not worse.
“it’s just hormones” it could be that, it could be small, it couldn’t even be depression. but why do i feel like i’m not ok all the time, why do i feel like things won’t get better and i want to kill myself, i’m pleading for help with every smile i pass around, my body is aching with every movement i make, i am not okay, but i don’t think anyone really cares.
I’m in the same boat buddy
When I heard 'it's just hormones' da fuck, how is that hormones, hormones make you horny it's in the name, so how....
How are hormones related to depression.....
Sorry I was fucking around......
Anyways I understand about the feeling that no one loves you/me thing, the killing your self bit not so much i have never been tempered to do that but I have with self-harming so i can't understand that.
Trust me people do love you, your family, your friends, heck there might be a person or two that has a crush on you, you never know.
I know the feeling loneliness, and it's painful i know.
But just remember that you are not alone in this cruel world, there are others with all sorts of depression, that are going through it or have gone through it.
I'm not saying 'sheesh your not the only one drama queen' no in saying that You are not the only one that is going or has gone through this pain so you are not alone.
I'm in the same situation, and I'm really scared to tell my family, I just don't think they will understand. It feels like I'm suffocating every second I'm in my house and I don't understand why. They think it's hormones when it's not. I feel like no one truly understands me. What makes it worse is I just started middle school. So your not alone.
OMG SAMEEE so I’m 10 and my mum thinks it’s just me going thru puberty so she started to get my period kit /: she rlly doesn’t think I’m depressed // I cut and I even told her
I think some people just don't understand cause they haven't had their share of depression, so those people just won't realise the pain you are suffering in.
-I’m fine-
Suicidal thoughts,
Depression hurts,
But I say I’m fine,
Why do I lie,
Why do I want to die,
But I’m fine, aren’t I?
Stupid, Fat, Loner,
People in this world can be so cruel,
They tell you things you shouldn’t be told,
They call you things you shouldn’t be called,
But I’m fine at least that’s what I say,
Others believe me but I don’t,
Others like me but I won’t,
But I’m still fine,
Suicidal thoughts,
Depression hurts,
Maybe I’m not fine,
You’re probably asking what that was about. Well I hide my feelings irl so I show my feelings in poems and songs. I’m sorry for wasting ur time.
I know I'm late but are you doing better now? If you need to get stuff out and talk to people you can talk to me.
It's not wasting time it's getting your feelings out. Don't feel like your a burden because your not. If you need to talk talk to me.
OoWolfie this is what i feel i cant find anything to help me get stuff out im trying to find the thing that helps me get my feelings out
You weren’t wasting my time because i can relate to the poem
That's not wasting people's time
That's opening there eyes into a new thought process
A lot of kids in my class joke around about depression for example:
"I hate my life"
"I'm gonna kill myself"
"I'm depressed"
Its sounds serious but they don't seriously mean it and it makes me wanna punch them so bad but I'm weak so I can't
My class make jokes about self harm
As I pull down my sleeves to cover the memories and pain...
You aren't weak, you are stonger than any of them combined
The 4 dislikes.... Make me sick... How could anyone dislike this...
i know right it has so much meaning behind it
Those twenty people either have no knowledge of how bad mental health is, or the were holding their phones upside down when liking it.
It's 34 now
The people who disliked this are heartless ruthless people
@@firewings141 some people believe it is fake or are just ruthless but let's try and revive the heart of those people
👏🏼.👏🏼.👏🏼 SAY IT OUT LOUD GIRL!!!
army hope saranghae❤️
Army❤❤ you give me strength
bigbooty bangtan SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK
Has anyone been so good at pretending to be happy that they could almost fool themselves but that feeling deep down is still there?
I've been "losing" emotions, it's getting so hard to feel anything but mental pain. I make jokes to make me smile, but it was never really true. I have social anxiety. The more I hate myself the worse it gets. I usually find myself with a knife in my hand, balling my eyes out. I don't do anything, but thinking what I could so with that knife on myself...yeah. I don't know if I have depression, but it's still painful. I try to cope, by action weird. It's the only way for me to think I'm ok, but deep down I'm not. Being weird fools people into thinking that I'm ok. I'm not. Not even my friend who has depression knows unless it's really obvious. Idk
That friend that has depression, she left me. I can't feel much anymore. Only 1 friend is helping me smile a little. I can't feel anything, deep down I'm dying that my friend left me for a reason I don't know, but I can't express my emotions correctly.
Edit: Oh wow... I wrote this a year ago, I almost forgot. It’s been a battle and I’m still working on myself, I have a long way ahead of me. Trust me when I say, things will get better, even if it seems like it’s complete sh*t. I’m still working on my emotions and trying to open up to atleast one person, but no one seems to understand what I’m going through. But I do have one person that can make me smile from time to time and helps me forget. Either way, rereading this really showed me how much I’ve grown and It pushes me even more to do better. I just wanted to edit this comment so those who read this can maybe get a bit of hope that things will get better. Anyways, thanks for everyone who liked and commented, you’re not alone and you’re an amazing person.
@ that makes more sense than what i wrote, it helps me to know that im not the only one out there suffering, that there are other people. Your story is relatable, my mom is hot tempered and my dad is a vit lazy and they always get into fights, more my mom yelling, and they always tell me that thats how they talk, but It never really worked on me. I hope you get better, things will get better, i promise. Hang in there, even if i dont know you, you are strong.
Ya i know how it is
Zea Black I have that exact same feeling social anxiety makes it where I can’t speak in front of people and I’m so paranoid I’m constantly checking my clothes so people won’t make fun of me even with my friends I have to put on a fake smile it’s tiring and sad yet I mean it’s enough to fool everyone so I don’t understand why I can’t fool myself
I have depression and anxiety and a lot of mental and physical problems which makes my health much worse and I can’t even express my emotions or understand emotions at all but I mean I understand that feeling
And I’m sorry about ur friend I know how hard it is to lose those precious to u
Yaqui Mejia same.
I'm Sorry for Being Kind same.
I understand this depression and anxiety crap...I have both clinically diagnosed i take prescription drugs like buprofen and others... Im 13 years old and i self harm. My mom thinks i haven't done it in 7 months... My school is very rude. They make fun of me and my suicide attempts in the office... Please help me out I'm stressed right now and I made a plan after july was over that i was over and I'm scared..of being here. I dont want to be afraid of leaving my own room anymore and isolating myself.
Trista Tullar hey, if you want to talk, im here :)
Its Nashii yes, please i would love to talk.
Trista Tullar I’m on snapchat @dr.superweird
Trista Tullar. Ahh same i dont wana go to school becous im sad her and i wana die there :(
Trista Tullar this is kinda my life
I showed my teacher this video and she showed every other teacher in the school and they all desided that they would make this kind of class in my school and they actually made the class and I made so many friends through it. No I'm not depressed( and never was) but I was a volunteer in the class and I know it truly saved someone this video is the whole meaning of where it began. So thank you for this. I now have amazing friends and if not for this video they may not have been here today. :)
That is absolutely amazing, we need more people like you
You are even more amazing than this video! Thank you dear 😭❤️. I love you ❤️. We need more angels like you ❤️🥺.
When I met with my doctor to see if I had depression she said “in this day and age more people have depression than don’t, there is nothing wrong with you. It’s normal.”
I tried to kill myself and before that night I always pushed that whole thought of depression away and you want to know why. Because no one talks about it, when you say “I have depression” everyone says “wow you are lying” but how am I lying if I have to down pills every night because I am fucking depressed. Because if I don’t take these pills I probably wouldn’t be here right now. When I don’t take these pills I don’t leave my room, I close the shades and I cut. So everyone saying depression is “cute and quirky” can fucking sit in my body for a day and see how much pain I feel. And after that tell me how “cute and quirky” it is.
YOU AREN'T LYING I KNOW THAT THEY'RE THE LIARS YOU KNOW IF YOUR IN PAIN NOT THEM!!!!!!!!!!!
Let me tell you something... therapists are shit. They don’t help at all, they ignore your feelings and all they want is the money so they can actually make benefit out of all the bullshit they say. I say follow whatever you think and don’t leave it to your stupid therapist (no offense). When it gets so far to where you’re harming yourself, yes, you clearly are suffering from depression. People usually make jokes about people self-diagnosing yourself with depression, but what do they really know? Do they know YOU harm YOURSELF because you hate yourself so much? Leave it to you to realize your feelings, not some random person your parents (or anyone else) books of online. They can’t live In your shoes anyways, let alone understand what you’re feeling. Just don’t listen to anyone pulling you down, as long as you’re true to your feelings, you’re going the right path. It’s YOUR body and YOUR feelings, not your therapists’.
@@navin3604u ur right about the hole therapist thing bc they only care about the money and that but how r u supposed to self diagnose myself if I sit in my room in the dark let my thoughts get to me then I start cutting as deep as I can just wondering bc I don't want to go to therapist bc they do nothing
this video lowkey took me around 4 hours to edit + another 2 hours for uploading and its 4:55am 😂 I should really go to sleep 💤🥔
We have not talked in forever. It's lacee
I love u
If you care about me and all your other fans you WILL read this.. I noticed in your description that you are trying to help with awareness and stuff okay... If that's true why don't you make a video telling us all to make a video and get it out there and take it to our principals and vice-principals cuz that's what I'm trying to do now and I'm not stopping till we get help because I know what it feels like to fight depression by myself and fighting depression right now and the schools don't care and that's not okay they're supposed to care about our education but part of educating us is helping us right? Or is this just my thinking? Can you please comment back cuz I need to know whether I should go on and do it or not
@@purityrose195 sorry about the late reply, i think it's a good idea
Clarissa Kagoro for me ;((
I never thought I was going to still be alive to walk my high school graduation, now I have plans to talk to my doctor...
I know I'm late but are you Ok?
I want to start a self love club at my highschool a club to help those who don't know how to cope. A safe place to talk to people without all the pressure. Its my senior year. I've waited until thia year to do it because everyone has told me that it's stupid, that I wouldn't get any support. But I know that if there was a club like that already existing then I would have been apart of it in a heartbeat. Because I don't know how to love myself, but I know how to love other people. Your video has struck a cord with me. I want to cry but I also want to get up and do something right now that can help someone. I have depression, I've never gotten help for it but I want to. The only thing keeping me going is the fact that I have the power to make people smile. I want to spread that..
Sorry for the vent..lol
I explained my depression to one of my best friends and he's been so helpful
Asia Brown Same with my friend, he's so sweet. I hope things are getting better for you.
... Also, is that my dad in your profile picture?
Arianna Heart they definetly are. Same to you tho
My friend laughed at me. ):
@@jirachisstar if they laughed at u then they aren't real friends and u need to find someone else to talk to. Maybe even drop the person that laughed... Idk it's up to u... Just a little advice from a stranger
@TheCheezit King, good for u!!
"Depression does not just come and go" I really felt a connection with this part because about 2 years ago, I thought that no one cared about me, that everyone would be better off without me. I talked with my parents and I thought I had gotten over it. I lived those past 2years thinking I was happy, but the depression was always lingering in the corner. Always in my head, whispering things like, "You'll never be good enough", and "You know that girl that cried earlier? It was all your fault", or "People don't care. Why would they? Look at you". Overtime, I began to think these things were true. Even now, I still battle these thoughts of self-hatred. I'm getting better with the help of my friends, but I'm still far from truly happy. If anyone who reads this has or is going through the same thing, just know that people care.
people think what depression 15% of hopelessness 85% suicidal thoughts
what depression is actually like 95% of hopelessness 5%suicidal thoughts
when im upset ppl are like “ why are you depressed “ and i just say “ im upset, not depressed “
people overuse the term depression like it’s nothing, parents don’t talk about it, schools don’t talk about it, people are so uninformed about depression and mental health,
so many people think its just the "weird" people when it's so many more.
I don't really know what's going on with me right now; I don't understand it and I haven't told anyone and I don't know what it is, but it's making it so hard to be happy, or think good thoughts about myself, or have an appetite, or have a good reason for life... I don't know. But this video really makes me want to talk to my school about making a program like this to help kids at my school going through tough times.
Sylvie-chan - ShumaiAndMakiRolls I completely understand where you're coming from. I also would like to go to my school about this, but it's like I physically can't. I can't go up to these superiors who are trying their best to teach me and ask them for more. I can't go up to peers because they'll think I am weird. Even though thus is a wonderful thing, i can't DO anything. But I really hope you'll be okay and eventually get support from your school. I think I might relate a bit to what you're going through. Good luck with life and everything. I know it can be hard (hard being quite a bit of an understatement).
@@laylarisse1931 Thank you; I feel much the same. I guess good news for me is that someone noticed in these last weeks and are trying to get me professional treatment. I hope you find peace and safety in those who support you. Keep on fighting!
Sylvie-chan - ShumaiAndMakiRolls hey I hope everything is going well and you got the help you needed you deserve it 💖
I've actually tried to start one at my school but it got denied because not enough people cared enough to sign my petition.
@@angelspirit9999 Thank you; I'm actually in therapy now. I'm hoping things will get better
Its sad that millions of teens can relate to this .
I cried a lot watching this because I Try to hide every bit of pain i have but it just gets to the point where you can't....
I wish my middle school had this, yes I did mean _middle school,_ I'm actually part of those every 100 kids attempt, I have attempted, *_more than once,_* as much as I would love to ask my school principal about this, _I can't freaking talk to anyone_
You can talk to me. There will always be people who care. I care. I’m in middle school too, and I avoid talking to people about these things because they’ll likely think I’m “too young” to have depression or anxiety or anything like that. But please, don’t wait forever like I do. Talk to someone who cares, because there always will be someone who cares.
Itz_ Chara talk to me. how are you doing? i want you to know that i care about you❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have trouble crying to let things out. Of course when I’m watching this and I start to cry for the first time in forever, I’m with other people.
When I told my mom about a small bit of what was going on, we started seeing a therapist. But apparently she was blaming my dad too much, so we stopped going. I hurt myself and I have the scars to prove it. I cry every night. Recently, I gagged myself with a toothbrush until I vomited so I wouldn't have to go to school. I told them, and my dad told me to clean it up. I was so confused and hurt. I laid on the floor while dabbing at the pile of my own vomit with a small paper towel, sobbing and quietly screaming to myself "Why?" I had enough. I didn't want to live in a world where my peers can't hear me, my family can't see me, and I can't feel me. I walked down the stairs and threw away the towel, then trudged back up and into my room, breathing heavily. My parents hadn't come for me. My parents didn't care. So I opened the window and peered outside, feeling the fresh night air. When suddenly, my dad opened the door.
"You okay?"
I quickly pulled away from the window. "Yeah! I just.. heard that fresh air is good for nausia."
"Close your window."
I did as told, my heart threatening to pound open my ribcage.
"Are you still feeling bad?" He asked.
"Yeah.."
He sighed. "I'll go get some medicine."
He stopped me from killing myself, without even knowing it. I still couldn't believe it, and I still can't believe it. This happened last night.
Sorry, I just felt like sharing that. Thanks for reading.
I hope everyone can understand us people who's depressed....😭😭😭😭😭😭
Gurl i almost cried
This is ao beautiful and amazing.
And this is the truth. Thanks for this.💕
My school never talked abiut mental health and stuff and i was sooo pissed bc this is such a important message and if i would have been a teacher i would takk about it everywrime!!!
Hey everyone! If you need someone to talk to just hit me up on snapchat @dr.superweird or instagram @tashaa.pho, I’m not the best helper though as I’m still quiet young and I’m not a very good advice person. 😂 but I'll try help you and support you as much as I can💖
I just wanna let you all know that even though things might be rough.... DONT GIVE UP no matter what!!! You are beautiful and unique in you own way, and just remember your not alone. Express your emotions, let all that anger out, let people hear YOUR story. Together I believe we can fight this, just always try to keep your head up no matter what happens. And honestly if people dont like you for being you, fuck them. Don’t let haters take over you. Stay true. Be you. Stay Strong. You Belong.
We are a family and community here.
I love you all alot and dont forget even if you feel like you arent loved, there are people out there who do love you, just maybe you dont know it
Its Nashii I HATE THIS it’s not TEENAGE depression why do people always say teenage depression younger kids can have it too I’m 11 And now I am depressed, and suicidal so why does everybody say it’s teenage depression it’s just Depression
Jane Sproule anyone can have depression. this was just mainly directed at teenage depression.... calm down
I agree with its nassii
Yes
Its Nashii what if u don't have Snapchat
I loved this and I'm not a teenager yet but I do super from depression and I suffer from the "worst" is what people call it which is no polar and I'm not even a teenager yet but I'm still here so for those that are very young and not even a teenager but will be I. Just saying that just because your young doesent mean you can't make it through depression or anxiety disorders or anything. Like it
My mom told me, “If you’re sad for more than a week, tell me.” But depression isn’t sadness. And I’ve been depressed and had anxiety for years.
*There are times
in all of our lives
when we feel as though
no one truly knows us.

Seriously, I need a speech in my school about *DEPRESSION*
It sucks that my school doesn't really care about mental health except for one counselor and they don't even understand it. They don't even care about fundraising cancer. They just care about football.
One time I got suspended because my school thought I was suicidal. I was held two hours after school in the office by the HS guidance counselor , and I wasn't even allowed to call my parents to tell them where I was. I then got suspended and couldn't come back unless I had a doctor's note. My parents were so pissed off, and the doctor who dealt with my was very rude. I was diagnosed with clinical depression, and I went to school the next day. I had to give the secretary who then told me to give it to the nurse. Who was confused because no one told her about the situation, so she calls the princapal who calls the MS guidance counselor. All they did was ask me if I felt better
Me: Yeah, I'm feeling better
Them:Okay, glad to hear. Bye
All that was the end of it no support, no advice, no programs to help,no nothing. Honestly, they just wanted to hear me say I'm fine so they wouldn't have to deal with me, because who goes from suicidal one day, but the next day is completely fine like nothing happened. Literally no one, my school knew that I was depressed, that I self harmed, my grades were slipping, and thought I was suicidal, and they did nothing. And they were proud because they thought they helped, that they saved a life, that's such bull.
Do you know what also pisses me off still. Is that my school does have a suicide policy, but they didn't even follow it. I'll list them from the handbook
1) Stabilization
2) Assessment of the risk
3)Use of appropriate risk procedure
4) Communication with appropriate parties
5) follow up
These steps are so vague like wtf? And I had to follow up with the school, but they should be the ones doing that. SMH. I'm still annoyed when I think about it despite the fact that it happened two years ago.
Outside my school counselors office are posters like, "these monsters are real" and its about teasing and bullying. Which, is a big problem no lie, but it NEVER happens at my school. So whenever I walk past it, I pretend it says things like depression, insomnia, anxiety, bipolar disorder. I try to pretend that they care about mental health in the slightest. Even though they don't. When they thought I was self harming all that happened was I assured the counselor I was fine, she called my parents, my parents lectured me, done. My parents didn't even support me. They just sternly explained how mental health is serious and you shouldn't feel like that. *NO FUCK MOM AND DAD! IF YOU GAVE A SINGLE FUCK ABOUT MY MENTAL HEALTH YOU WOULDNT JUST BE TELLING ME TO, OH I DONT KNOW, SNAP OUT OF IT???!!* And that was kind of the last time I actually trusted any one with my emotions for a long, long, time.
Min Gell purples dnp Some person at my school told the counselor and dean that my friend was suicidal..and she wasn’t. The worst part was her parents having to see the police knock at her front door seeing if she had cuts or if she had done anything to harm herself, my school is a piece of shit. My teacher gets assaulted almost every day and they still won’t do shit about it and it’s gets me fucking pissed. And then there are ppl who tease me and shit and it makes me sad that I just want to fucking die but i know if I commit suicide my family wouldn’t be the same without me because my grandma’s dog had died and it had a huge impact on our family because we knew that my grandma’s dog had been with her since she was a child
my school didn't focus on it at all till recently. They only starting to care and do something about it after pretty much the nicest kid that everyone loved killed hisself recently.
Min Gell wow. wow.. they need to get a wake up call ffs... they need dozens of people to petition for a program that’ll bring awareness of depression and anxiety etc. not everyone can deal with school “normally” and “the same way” damn
My mum always says “I felt like that when I was your age” no mum you didn’t
My mother thinks my depression was hereditary seeing how basically everyone in my family had or has depression and wanted to hurt themselves or kill themselves. It's not! I'm my own person! I'm bullied, abused by my friend, and I have PTSD!!!!!
I am just sitting here, in the kitchen, crying my eyes out cause I‘m not good enough. 2 years ago I was so depressed I cutted myself but never had the courage to kill myself. I fighted depression but It‘s coming back. I never get As in School only Bs, and I don‘t even leave the house when I have clothes on that may look ugly. I am just sinking in this deep dark hole again even when I danced today and had the feeling I was Awesome and my life was so too. I am always the happy one In group, the craziest one, the friend who is always there for one. And still feel so alone
Hey if we were all the same the world would be boring it's good that we are unique and different.
After all in my world there's no such thing as perfect, those that think they are perfect are assholes that need to get a life that isn't treating people like they are above everyone, and we can do better than people like that.
Just sitting in the dark on my phone the time is 'looks at the time' 11:40, "man, I wanna meet these people in life but I'm probably on the other side of the world from them" which I'm not wrong I do live in New Zealand.
I always try to kill myself but also fail...
Once I tried to explain to my cousin that I was depressed...but I was just sad and never said anything and she said “It’s not funny to fake being depressed” obviously I said absolutely nothing and I just sat there...I am still currently depressed..but getting better🙂 thanks to my awesome friends I couldn’t live without❤️
Honestly I am so upset right now, I have depression and anxiety, I would stay up all night and not be able to sleep. It became impossible to breathe and I knew something just wasn’t right with me, so I told my mom. She had just ignored me..I told her how bad my anxiety had gotten..ignored...I told her I was depressed and I just wanted her support...ignored..I still suffer from depression and anxiety..it hurts..And I’ve tried but it’s so hard..Maybe one day my family will understand? But for now..I guess I’ll just have to be ignored..
I wish my school has that kind of program...but it actually don't because all they do is there visiting his/her student and tell the student's parents that results of the parent/s shaming their daughter/son which also leads into depression, anxiety and sometimes insecurity. That is a another reason why some of the teens have depression and anxiety. Im not blaming all the teachers around the world except the teachers from my school.
Just saying because my friend Sarah did kill herself because of this and her private problems.
My mom won’t even leave me alone for once and assumes that I’m IMMATURE when she never gives me time alone and that I’m not aloud to do anything really
My mom thinks I’m mental cuz I told her I was depressed......
you made me cryyy❤❤❤🔝
same
I am depressed all the time...
Same....
Same...
I was told I wasn’t depressed for many years, so I convinced myself that I wasn’t, I was just falling down a dark whole I couldn’t seem to get out of.
my depression started when i was 8 years old.
Your comment about being depressed was sad to read dear friend. I really feel for you.
May God be with you and show you His wonderful kindness and grace.
May the love of His Son Jesus surround you and embrace you warmly. Please take care.
Mine started when I was 6 years old, and I was abused when I was 4 years old😓
eve lee grade 2 geography 10:55am first self harm
Kitsune of Facade its sad your remember that I remember my first time to
Clorox Bleach yeah, i was like 7, and i did that, probably because of some stuff no kid should have to see, car crash being main one
I’m to scared to tell my parents bc I don’t think they will understand me & tell me I’m not thankful for what I have and that that people will label me as the depressed girl.I’ve had this since 5 grade & I’m in 8 grade right now
I’m scared 2 to tell my parents...
Thank you so much for this. I relate to this on a very personal level. You're amazing and your voice is so calming. I've just come across your channel and have subscribed. Keep being amazing and stay strong. 💕💕💕💕
I was so sick and trying to get over my depression so I wasn't in school for 10 days, when I was back and kinda feeling a little bit better after a big fight with myself, my teacher said " you wasn't here for to long, you can't do the finals test (even that we are in the first month of school) , school is not right for you, you can't continue schooling like that, you better leave school and work in grocery shop that will be better for you"
Thank u mr.
Thank u for making me lose hope of myself. Thank u for helping me figuring out new reasons for how much useless I'm. Thank u for supporting me by making me give up my dream. Thank u for being so nice a making me stop trying to be better again. Thank u for not listing to me even when I explained that I was sick and I got u a medical report. Thank u for making lose hope in my life.
thank you for posting things like this i reallllyyyyyy needed this
It's very sad that these days saying you're depressed gets you called emo and moody and ungrateful hah.
Hi, I really love what you said and that you are trying to help. And i decided to do it too. I am About to write my School and to ask them if we can do somethng . I know so many People that are suffering from Depression and anxiety and the pressure became way to much for us. I live in Germany and our Schools don´t have anything like that so I am trying to sratr one ist really diffucult but i won´t give up. I did ine time and I am not doing it again. Thank you for sharung it and Ijust wanted to let you know that you are really inspiring People. Wish me luck and hopefully we can start a Change. (I am sorry if there are any mistakes in the text) - Love from Germany
This is a beautiful story, in a way. Depression can be with anyone, no matter how rich, or how lucky.
No matter how I scream, no matter how loud, I always get told the same thing, “it’s that damned phone.” That “damned phone” is what keeps me from killing myself, because my parents and siblings won’t support me.
Depression is a REAL ISSUE. That’s what the past generations don’t know.
Thank you for telling all of our stories.
I can only get out of bed for school because I know my thoughts might be drowned out by the stress and work. My frens have depression but I'm the worst one. I can't sleep for over 1 hour. One of my frens without depression asked why I looked more and more tired and I broke down. This happened in 5th grade when I've had it since 2nd. Now I'm in 7th and worse.
kawaii dead girl I know how you feel, sometimes I can be genuinely happy and not fake a smile nor laugh. But then there is always a damn fucking person having to say stuff about me or to me. People at my school think it’s okay to call me names, kick me, say untrue stuff about me and I break down! But I don’t tell anyone because they wouldn’t know how I feel!! I cant even express this to my family because I don’t know if they would understand or not. It makes me think of committing suicide and i do think it, i tried doing it when I was only 9! That’s how bad it got. I was at a pool and somebody teased me about my body and called me all sorts of stuff because I’m super insecure about my body. I tried holding my breath underwater, holding myself down. Few seconds later I came back up because I was lost in my thoughts and in doing so my mom didn’t notice..People don’t believe me and I get so mad and it makes me sad because why can’t they accept the truth of me? I’m depressed, I cut to make myself feel better, I fake a smile, I fake a laugh, I fake being happy. And they think I’m alright since I’m smiling and laughing but what they don’t know is that what they fucking do to me makes me want to harm myself every every damn day
I agree with this video alot. Those of us suffering from depression need help, but the one's who feel like they can't be helped need it more. I know I need help to rid myself of the ever-present darkness that wishes to drown me. But the help of many will not help me. So I part myself from these events and focus on helping those who are truly in need. That is how I get helped, by helping those who cannot handle what they've dealt with alone.
This is incredible I resonate with everything you said. You basically took the words out of my mouth. Thank you ❤️
This was very inspiring and powerful. Thank you. Exactly what i need to hear right now
Ahh the feels 😅
i once told my "bestfriend" and she said "you just want attention." and then she told everyone that i had 'fake depression'
Emilie Stavnbo I was saying something to my friend how I was sad and stuff and she said you just say stupid stuff a lot and she started laughing.
Thank you, thank you so much for this you make me believe in hope for me, for all of us. So thank you so much.
Thank you for posting this, it touched my heart.
this is so funny because in my country, the voices of students don't matter.
Choosing the piano version of Youth was the perfect background song. It's my favorite song and I immediately recognized it.
This is so beautiful 😕
Thank you for putting this out there💜
as much as I agree with other comments on this video, it is hard when parents do not understand what depression it, it also sucks when they do understand. both my parents are on heavy anti depressants and both talk about kill themselves. when I mention me being depressed they shove it off because they see how theirs is, not mine.
that also truly sucks.

Count me in.

I am so glad someone is making a video on this. This is a big topic hardly anyone is talking about! THIS NEEDS TO BE SEEN BY EVERYONE.

Just me? Okay
i hope to change this life we live in, i will start right now do something with my life, this really changed my point of view on the world thank you and everyone with depression i hope you the best :)
Girl, you made me cry. This video, honestly, hit me on a whole new level. Of all these posts and talks and videos and posters and whatnot that I've seen about "helping teenagers with their mental health", this, THIS is the truest, most powerful shit I've seen so far. This needs to be heard, and god damn you need to spread this every chance you get; all.of.us. Freaking hats off to you. Beautiful work ❤
This is beautiful
*and here my family believes that a few slaps can cure depression*
_It's curious how I can't watch people self harming at the television (even though it's fake) because it's scared me, and in the same time I have no problem to cut myself..._
Wow this video really felt for me like you talking diractly to me (i think others felt the same). I mean a lot of videos about depression is just like talking about it, but this video you made was like you talking to our souls, I could really feel the hope in this video. Thank you
This really changed my outlook on the situation
I'm currently enduring a lot of anxiety and depression and this really makes me feel less alone :)
It's more people like you that we need to make it through our struggle
Thank you
I got diagnosed with depression by more than one therapist and doctor and now someone tells me I'm not depressed even though i hurt myself and have suicidal thoughts everyday...your right it doesn't come and go it never goes I've had this since i was 11 im 15 now and I've tried to overdose mang times and I've planned it wrote suicide notes more than i can count and I'm still thinking why can't anyone listen to me? Just cos I make myself go outside to try and help myself doesn't mean I'm cured
ocean eyes sorry to hear this I really and truly hope that everyone gets better
I never knew the numbers were this high oh my god. I am in a leadership program at my middle school were we help new students, suggest ideas and help with events ect., I am definitley doing something about this @ my school because we have no programs
I love this so much it means so much listening to these I have to listening to these for 30 minutes
Laptarps made me chuckle, this is an amazing piece and almost shed a tear. Thank you so much, the world needs to hear this
my mom dosnt understand, i can't tell her anything because when i try she says "You aren't depressed" even though I KNOW I am
Same
"cause toghether we can" together my ass I've been alone my whole life any time some one needed my help I was there but who's there to pick up the hero hu? no one exactly I'm 17 still fighting off the same shit I had when I was 15 I'm better off alone anyways
Same
first time I got depression: my bestfriend left me for a girl we knew 10 months. my bestfriend and I were bestfriend's for 3 years. I left everyone for her. I chose her over everything and everyone. and she left me. she made me believe that I wasnt good enough, she made me believe that it was my fault bc I wasnt pretty enough or even funny enough. for about 3 months straight I would cry myself to sleep, I'd come home and cry myself to sleep, sleep n sleep the whole day I'd wake up the next day with my eyes red and so puffy. I cried for 3 months. but than it's like this angel came, and she helped me. she made me stronger mentally, she's my new bestfriend.
This queen is preaching!!
I'm also not really good at making friends I hope we can be friends I may not know you personally but we could be very good friends someday☺🐈🎄
First
Livia ._. Hello :)
Its Nashii, hello (: ♡, love your videos..
Livia ._. aww thank you ❥
THANK YOU. I seriously need this, a LOT of teenagers are going through depression. Some that even I know such as my friends!! I, and other teenagers, really needed this. Subbed!
Not even a minute in and I’m crying. This really hit a spot no one else can and deserves to be viewed by everyone. Thank you for this, I know I’m not alone but that’s how I feel and this made me feel like I had someone who knows exactly how I feel.
thank you I needed to hear this
Brought me to tears so true I'm going through it now it's changed everything but this video has made me realize some very important things. Things I can do to help myself and others. Things to create change.
Thanks for the information contained in this video
HOW COULD YOU NOT LOVE THIS VIDEO I’m crying because I’m going through that right now. I have straight A’s all the time, but for almost a month now I haven’t been turning a single assignment in on time and it gives me immense amounts of stress even thinking about all the work I need to do to catch up. I’ve been getting headaches 5-7 times a week and at least one of them ate migraines. I KNOW you weren’t asking for my life story -I’m sorry- but, essentially, what I’m saying is this video is an amazing help and deserves only support!
You talk about bridge, and... wow. That’s amazing. I would love something like that. Please keep doing what you’re doing, this needs to be big.
People around me always said "you cannot to be depression because you have a good life " .
Thank you so much❤️
listened to every word. this meant a lot
