We are ourselves, not our diagnosis. If someone has cancer, they don't become cancer. If someone has the flu, they don't become the flu. If someone is diabetic, it means they HAVE diabetes, not that they are diabetes. If someone has a form of mental illness, the wording becomes that they are mentally ill. It is not who they are - it's what they deal with. You are YOU first! Your illness doesn't make you who you are - but when you are struggling it can be hard to accept yourself. Hang ON! To be able to admit that you deal with a mental illness makes you STRONG! God will see you through and through His strength, you will teach others about this, just by being WHO YOU ARE - especially through the time of when you need the most help. It takes strength to ask - you are strong!

Thank you!!

Great video. Simple and effective.

I have mental health problems, have had my whole life. I just wish it was so simple as to "Talk" to people about it. If someone ever says "Snap out of it" or "You are just feeling down" my screams will be heard ten miles away. I suspect I'm not alone in this? You need to find the right people, the right help, even the right organisation to get real help with mental health problems. But, once you do? There is real help to be had out there. Never, ever be afraid to ask for it, which is what this video gets right.

This is such a good video, asking for help is super important and even though its not widely looked upon and respected those who ask are still way more likely to get help than those who dont!!

I salute u

i dont know how to ask for help anymore. It terrifies me, i feel like im letting them down, even if it's as simple as a math problem, I feel like i should already know it, and that im just inconveniencing other people when i do. I feel like there's something wrong with me, but i don''t know what it is, or if it's an actual problem or if im just overreacting. I mean i have it so easy, why should I matter when others are suffering way worse than me. Why should i matter when I've havent really done anything worth while. And when I'm about to attempt to ask someone who can actually help me I end up freaking out, Im terrified if there's actually nothing wrong with me and i wasted everyone's time, or that there is something wrong with me and my mom and dad are worried about me, i just what to deal with this alone. 4-6 times a week i feel this dread of hopelessness wash over me, it lasts hours at a time and i don't really want to do anything in that time, i just feel terrible. It eventually goes away, only to come back another day. The rest of my day i feel like i have to distract myself to not feel numb all the time. I'm not happy with myself, I don't think i deserve anything. And I don't know how or if i should tell my family, they'll think im doing this for attention if nothing's wrong. Why is this happening? nothing really bad has really happened to me lately, so why am i feeling this way?

Hey, I know you left this comment a couple of years ago, but I hope that you've been able to overcome some of these feelings. If not, that's completely valid and understandable as well. First of all, Depression does not pick and choose between those who have "had bad things happen lately." It is completely valid to feel sad or numb without feeling there's a reason. You're not asking for attention by asking for help. I assure you that there are people who genuinely care for you and any hardships you're going through. I promise you that's its ok to ask for help. It is never not ok. I know that you might feel like an inconvenience but I am here to tell you that you are not. Imagine if someone close to you held things back. If one day you discovered that they felt like they would burden you. Do you think someone in your situation asking you for help would be a burden? Because I assure you I wouldn't. I would see a beautiful, powerful person who wants to seek a change. You are Powerful. You are Strong. Please, keep going, and confide in someone you trust. Then, trust yourself. Make the decision you think will lead you to become happy. You will still have depressive episodes, but as someone who has been in a similar situation as you, you can heal. I wish you well my friend, and if you ever need someone anonymous to speak with, I am here with open ears and open arms.
