    Thank you everyone who has bravely spoken about their journey. I really appreciate your honesty. Please remember you are not alone. Through this film I have tried to urge my viewers to seek professional help and their loved ones to support them at such a time. 🙏 There is nothing wrong in taking an effort to heal and don't let society tell you otherwise.

    This whole documentary pretty much shows the life I live everyday! As a person with anxiety, PTSD and depression I can say this is accurate

    I feel like I’m not very normal. I feel like I have toxic relationships. I feel that I’m lonely. I have awkward conversations, I’m basically not normal. I want a bestfriend but too scared to talk to people but no. I’m really depressed as well... if u want an ibf, then here I am.. 😔

    Most of the times, I pretend to act normal around people when I'm feeling abnormal on the inside. My heart would feel heavy, I would have 0% words to say, I would rub my fingers together, I would feel hungry and nauseous at the same time, I would play with my necklace, and I would be too hard on myself. While watching the video, I saw the look on her face because I can tell that she was going through that same thing. I don't wanna sound wrong or incorrect while typing this, but it's the 100% truth. In conclusion, the video made me feel broken inside because I don't like the fact that we're going through all of this. Praying that everyone will do the best to cope with acting normal🥲❤️🙏🏽🥀

    My girlfriend recommended this video to me. I really think this is one of the most powerful short films on depression that I have ever seen. The sound design, the cinematography and the acting are top notch. Kudos. You guys have done something amazing. You should be proud.

    The society wants us to 'act normal', thus, we do feed the stigma and do not allow ourselves to show the true inside... Thank you for this film!

    Depression is one of the toughest experiences to go through. It takes away a joy from life, convinces that you are worthless and alone. It disrupts sleep and takes away the energy. It is important to do what is good for you even though you don't feel like it. It is the first step to not give into getting better.

    I’m sick and tired of people calling me crazy! All of my life! I see other people acting more abnormal than myself, and most of the ones that tell me I’m f’ed up are those people. Honestly, if I show frustration, anger, joke around, or just walk into a flipping room someone has something negative to say, and I don’t know how to handle it!

    This was a phase of my life I've just overcome. I shifted my focus towards gods and started listening God's songs. Spending time with nature, quite sitting at roof looking at moon and saying nothing just feeling the silence of sky to make myself calm.. I used to cry a lot, a lot... I was avoiding everything and never in mood of eating anything , uh I'm still in this phase but now my mind is calm, just calm and silent .. now I'm proud of myself I never let this anxiety to rule over me. I was with me when everyone was thinking I'm ok but inside I was going through with a lot.. sometimes it's really hard to get out of bed and pretend normal in front of family, not letting them know what you're facing. My emotional breakdown, burnout anxiety. I overcame over everything.

    Amazing film showing the effects of Depression, Anxiety and the pressure to appear "normal" in a world where some people just cannot cope. The fact she didn't even feel she could tell someone close to her she wasn't well because she WAS unwell and, obviously, horribly, believed that she couldn't admit to it or her life would fall apart?

    Especially in workplace when we need to act normal and be competent as a normal person. Its very difficult.

    This really sums up my depression. I’m always tired and still have trouble falling asleep. When school’s in session, my minds filled with anxiety and basically just living life on auto pilot while the rest of your minds just tries to stay awake without breaking down.

    It is so much relatable....I don't feel I m okk....but their is no one to whom I feel okk to say all that I feel ....even if few asked me I can't be able to express exactly what I m feeling....I feel all alone....I tuck in my bed crying daily with no exact reason....even if I ask myself why m crying I can't find out exactly what is creeping in my veins which keeps breaking me from inside with each passing day....but in the end I just close my eyes hoping that it will also pass soon..😶....thanks for trying to aware the society towards such issues so that everyone will find someone atleat to listen to them ❤️

    Very nicely done. Captures the feel of hopelessness so very well. Thank you for sharing this and I look forward to watching it again.
