Top Comments of this video!! :3
what makes me realise how hard hitting this advert is, is that most viewers though âoh teddies depressed! Thats it! Cause its obvious!â But it never is.
Ive been the âarchieâ i go to work, smile and laugh and act like im walking on fucking sunshine.
Because i want to fool myself into being happy. Hoping that if i act it maybe iâll feel it.
So many people said to me âyou cant have depression youâre too happyâ and its just, my moods became so skewed i would laugh when all i wanted to do was cry. Even now i cant cry infront of someone else. Its impossible for me now. The amount of people whoâve seen me cry i can count on my hands.
I tried to take my life three times in 2 years, luckily all failed attempts mind you. Or else i wouldnt be here.
But when people hear or learn i suffer from severe mental health problems like clinical depression they are surprised. And as someone with this illness i can say all we ever want. Is someone to listen. So many people take their own lives because noone will help them because everyone in this world is very self involved that it takes a death to shake us and remember that the people in our life are just as important as ourselves.
We need to stop letting it get that far and step out of the self contained bubble and truly talk with each other truthfull

So glad I found this, it touched me. For me it's like whoever thought up this video really gets it. Some say that I'm the most smiley, positive person they know; they have no idea that I've contemplated suicide many times underneath that smile. It's given me a lot of empathy for other people though, and I think that actually keeps me going.

I had an uncle that one day took his life.. would we had known? I dont know.. human nature is so complex. people hide under layers like an onion. I suffer from anxiety due to something that happened to me 8 years ago so now I volunteer with BME communities to raise awareness that we all can support each other. there is nothing wrong with not being ok all the time. we are human after all... thank you for this very strong video

Hey everyone! I've just happened to stumble across this video as recommended by my own. Within my video for mental health awareness week, I highlight the repetitive cycle of daily living with depression and anxiety. This excellent piece of cinematography precisely mirrors the emptiness that engulfs me as I pace through my own mind finding reasons to have motivation and push beyond the trivial tasks from moment to moment. To all out there who suffer, don't be afraid to open up and express your emotions (in whatever capacity), you are certainly not alone in this fight.

Depression confession -- My personal care goes out the window when I am sinking back into my depressed state. I can drag myself out to do other things if I HAVE to such as doc appointments or whatever.. but I'll be honest.. My drive and motivation left me years ago, and until January this year I hadn't brushed my teeth in about 5 years. reason I know it was that long is because I have manic stages where I'll get hyped about something, inspired and actually do things like wash regularly and take care of my appearance. my teeth for some reason always takes a back seat however there was 1 time I was set on full maintanence, I bought many things for oral hygiene used it for a month then crashed and not used that stuff since.. an electric brush I bought in 2016 and toothpaste I've had on the shelf for those years as well.. Dental floss so old it just breaks when pulled. lol
Aside from that you shouldnt know I was depressed and suicidal, you'd just think I'm an unclean person. I honestly love the pandemic for forcing facemasks because It enables me to feel like I am hidden in public. I go outside and shopping more thanks to covid, it sounds bad I know

this is a really nice advert I think. I laugh talk smile and all that in school, smile through anybody's bullshit. And the minute i get in my room I just don't have the energy. I've tried to take my life a few times, and my mum caught me once and said i was looking for attention. I was 7 or 8 then, and that feeling still hasn't gotten away. I don't try to take my life anymore but I think about it a lot. I dont even cry anymore just because i do not have the energy to

I am an avid #MentalHealthAwareness advocate and spoken word performer, and I love this so much. I travel the country trying to bring that awareness on stages, in classrooms, hospitals, and on my YouTube channel, so I get excited when I see other advocates. đ

yes, exactly this. You don't have to look sad, to be depressed or to be suicidal.
