its allways the short films that make me cry

[nicholasholmes]

This was SO nicely done and i especially like the transitions
I also like the symbolism of his beard growing along with his depression and at the end he finally cut the beard down to a goatee to match with his depression being small again but he's now practicing selfcare while living with it

[sk...]

The more we kept stick to the things gone, the more we depressed. 😕

[JohnTLyon]

As a musician, this pushed all the right buttons. Nice work!

[starbuckslover]

I've never felt more acknowledged! More people need to see this

[madalsatiwari]

It's okay to get depressed
It okay to feel down
We are humans we have to keep balance
Buts it s not ok to fall into the darkness
Life is not about being perfect
It about living the life to fullest
I don't know you
But I know one thing you are great, amazing, have strength to win against everything happy for everyone and everthing
you belueve in faith thats keep you moving
you are lucky to be born
happiest person i have ever soon
strongest person in the world.
I believe in you
i know you will stand on my expectations

I guess we can all fall at some point in life, some of us never get up, true friends never let you fall, they’re there for you, you just need someone to talk to, then again, like me, you may not have anyone to talk to, and I have a family, they are all busy in their lives, better things to do, I’ve felt like this for many years now, but as long as you smile now and again, everyone will think all is ok, and life goes on.

one of the most amazing animations ive seen . so far this one tells more about depression. wonderful work!

The more you cherish the depression, the more it controls you.

It feels good to see that at the end the lead actor chooses a purpose for living, that is his passion for music.And this purpose helps him to overcome depression. The absurdist philosophers encourage people to live without a goal or a purpose in life. I think they have done most harm to people. The philosophers lived miserably and they want us to do the same. They are cruel.They gave destructive philosophy to mankind. After watching this video, I realized that having a goal can save you, help you overcome depression. Lots of love to the creators, from Bangladesh.

wow this was very well done! I love how everyones different problems were portrayed... disturbing and true

[dimitriosthrapsaniotisdimi]

my thank you very much for this movie

[nandanithakur]

Great work 🙌
Going through same situation in my life. We all do at some stage of life.
For me it was the last part when you acknowledge your problems and accept it. Give it some space and for sure it will just go away.

[DMAlexD]

... these are the works that I love to watch !

[hemkeshrohera]

This is the best short film I've ever came accross. 👍👍

Depression sucks.. I am 35 now, never could've even image when I was younger (even until just few years ago) to become depressed.. and here I am. You don't see it coming, and it hits you like a ton of bricks. Everyone, and I mean literally EVERYONE can get depressed at some point in their lifes.

[aleenahmills]

Don’t try to fill the void you pain left you. It’ll only make it worse.

[shermanaku]

And then cycle repeats. Because once the monster gets a hold of you, it never lets go. I found the way to beat it but it carries consequences.... if I beat it, it becomes lots of smaller monsters that will grab hold of others... but I will finally be free...

[browning]

I love the music what is this jazz?
And also very articulate.

[striking_village]

I think moral of the story was if you get depressed just keep doing what you enjoy doing to get out of it might be busy life style is the best to get out of it
