    This is the most honest song about depression I’ve come across, maybe ever like no one ever sings about the ugly side of this disease. Not bathing? Check ins? Leaving chores undone? Guess no one else wants to know the gross truth. Keep on doing what you’re doing it’s far more important than you know 👍🏽

    I'm a bit late discovering this song - for me, it's a sad and terrifying reminder of where I've been. But it sounds like you're still there. I hope you make it out, stranger. Keep fighting - it can be done!

    This is a hell of a song. Amazing how so many people know this exact feeling. If you're stuck in the spiral, I hope you get through it. If you managed to get to the other side, I hope you're proud of how far you've come.

    the subtle word choice is empowering. it's not "i won't do better" it's "I CAN'T do better". because you know what? it's ok to not be ok. Sick of people treating it like it's some personal failing. it's not OUR fault the world is awful. we aren't what needs fixing. at least, that was my reading. amazing song, you've got a new fan!

I’ve been in that apathetic depression as well lately, but things have been looking up for me as I’ve reached out and others have reached out to me. Now I’m catching up with the mistakes of my past self… Everyday can be a struggle but I hope you will try to stay positive, remember that there is hope and always something to be grateful for. You are loved and have value just as you are. No matter how many imperfections you have you’re still beautiful 🥺 God’s love will always be there for you when no one else’s feels accessible.

I finally fucking dug my way out of that hole and I am so proud of myself. To anyone reading this that is still digging, or haven't started digging yet because they don't have the energy, or to those that don't even have a shovel because you were never given a chance - you can do better than this. You are amazing, you are capable, you are loved, you are important. Let's do this together.

    I fell in love with this song as soon as she sang "They never show this shit in movies" because that's exactly what we need in this world and something that's been on my mind for so long. Like depression as a disease is so widespread and even so no one's talking about it or showing what's it's really fucking like for those that literally suffer in their own minds just stuck on the couch for days on end wondering if it will ever be better. Grasping that concept is so hard for most people and more often than not that it seems to bother them in a way I will never understand, it's like they get offended your not happy or see nothing to be happy about which just isnt the case. As humans trying to solve our problems is only natural. So is exhausting just about every solution to it especially when dealing with something so recurring and constant no matter what you do to make it "better"

I've had depression for about 4 years now and I keep bouncing back and forth between healing and getting worse. Every time I make progress I just spiral backwards and I'm trying so hard to fight it. This song just explains exactly what it's been like for the past 4 years and it's a catchy tune too! Also I didn't know this song was so new??? (Sorry for such a long comment)
