Acceptance is key; surrounding yourself with people who understand that you're not mad or bad but you are who you are. Keep on fighting; it always gets better.

She is so honest and brave. I cried listening to her. I'm going through exactly the same thing. I thank her for her messages.

I have struggled with mental illness and my mental health since I was a kid. Before I even knew what those terms were. After years of depression, anxiety, and even an attempt to take my life, I never thought I would be able to live without psych medications. I clung to them because it was the only thing that made my mind quiet, but it also made me a zombie. Microdosing has given me control of my mental health for the first time, and they essentially gave me my life back.

Iāve been struggling with depression for 10 years. It comes and goes sometimes and can come on out of nowhere with no warning and for no particular reason. A few months ago, I came off of medication and seeing a therapist. I did very well for several months on my own and I started to think maybe I could deal with it on my own. Then, about two weeks ago, my depression flared up out of nowhere and caught me by surprise. I now have an appointment with a Dr and may need to be on medication again. Realizing I needed to get help again felt like a punch in the gut. I felt like a failure. I struggle with depression because I just want to be normal. I donāt want to deal with it and I hate that it affects those around me, especially my husband. Listening to this felt like a light at the end of the tunnel. Gave me hope when everything seems bleakā¤

The worst part is that it's so stigmatized and no one understands that it's not just being sad. It takes hundreds of thousands of lives a year but you're told you're being lazy and dramatic. The constant/recurring feelings of doom, hopelessness and emptiness are not the same as just being upset. One of the symptoms is that it just saps the joy out of things you like and you can't enjoy them anymore because of it. Everything becomes bland and pointless and people judge you for struggling. The brain is an organ that can get sick and have conditions like any other part of the body but because most of the outward symptoms are behavioral people call you an attention seeker. It sucks so bad I'm so tired

Thank you ā¤. My last episode is already 2 years on and I canāt seem to get out of it. I am so ashamed that I have a good situation, a loving husband, no extreme financial problems, a wonderful flat near a beautiful park with a lake, and still some days canāt shower nor eat. I havenāt tried accepting much less allowing me to feel this wayā¦ maybe thatās exactly what I need

on disability because of it. i never get more than a couple of days before it returns, full force. nearly 30 years, now, and a childhood full of inexplicable sadness even before that. it has put everything i've ever wanted well out of reach. that last one is without a doubt the worst trigger of them all. by all normal societal definitions, i am an abject failure. and i will not let myself forget it. and i don't know who else has this experience with their mental illness, but i don't have good days. i feel hopelessness constantly. the best days i get are simply ones where the hopelessness is slightly milder. that's the best it ever gets.

This meant so much to me to hear you speak of your symptoms and your strength. I have recently been diagnosed with clinical depression and Iām still working through the reality of it/accepting it and some of things youāve said that youāve thought are the same thoughts Iāve had. Thank you for speaking on this!

Thank you! I now feel that I am not the only person dealing with depression

Thank you for this. I often totally forget the acceptance and allowance part of it. I just feel angry and sad that I am going through it - again! I guess I have to allow for that, too and just get on with functioning through it and resting when I need, because depression is a very real energy sapper.

Thank you for this. Iām 18 and my dark cloud developed at 13. Just came out of nowhereā¦ā¦ but this is very insightful Iām going to try to accept myself and my illness more.

Yours was the best presentation Iāve heard on living with depression. Beginning now I will utilize the plan you created, because it makes more sense to me than anything else. Thank you so much Angelica. You have given me hope.

This young lady is brilliant! It took me many, many years to understand what the bad feelings were (clinical depression), start working on it and me and come up with ways to manage it. She did this relatively quickly. It rarely goes away, but having ways of coping is extremely helpful. This was a very powerful speech. Thank you!

You are so brave ā¤ I know the struggle thank you for āyouāve gotten better from this before youāll do it againā when I was 18 I went to clinical depression back at it again š¢

The thing isā¦ depression has likely been a part of the human condition since before recorded history. Itās now both stigmatized and popularized under āmental illness.ā
Iāve lived with it in its recognizable āclinicalā form for more than 50 years. I can agree - somewhat - with her three-step plan, but itās also somewhat a surrender to a cycle that defies āplans.ā
Iāve been under the cloud for the last few days. I suppose thatās why I ended up here.
Thanks for your insights.

Thank you for this speech and sharing this. I didnt know that I was dealing with depression & anxiety all these years since I was a kid. I've always wondered why I am always feeling depressed and now in my 30s, I have spent the past 6-7 years trying to get better after a few mental break downs. I always tried to mask it by joking or pretending to be happy now its too hard to hard the other older I get. I sometimes now overshare my thoughts when they are extreme and I sometimes beat myself up mentally doing it thinking im crazy and such a mess. Listening to you really helps me understand depression more, that its real and find out ways to be okay with it. Also being okay to express it to others because its hard when people do not know what I/we are going through. Thank you!

I'm a non diagnosed, medically neglected, ethnic minority, unemployed, undeveloped,unsupported,unhappy British woman approaching my 30s with no life quality and ideating suicide each day. Yet I pretend all is well. I'm not here to boast but to say that acting fine can indeed be done. In an ideal world every one would care for one another's well-being but since this is reality, and especially as an ethnic minority who is already marginalised, you have to pretend all is well.

I really feel the voice trembling as she speaks. I feel it in my throat as well. It's not easy to speak about this subject without crying or bring vulnerable. Kudos to her!
