Forge your own path. Create a history. Become someone you admire.

[johannesaxelsson]

Being told that life is open ended with unlimited possibilities only makes the depression worse, because it reminds me how I failed at life regardless of that.

[CottonCxndy]

I don’t wanna live, I don’t want to have to die I just wish I didn’t exist

[OkKo-eujr]

Honestly I’m so proud of so many adults and old people bc I have know idea how they have made it so far in this cruel world

[undeniable]

I’m so done with life. Everything feels so pointless. I’m spending what I’m told are the best years of my life completely alone and there’s no obvious reason why. Fuck this cruel world

[emelielaura]

I honestly don‘t know how some people have fun living life.

[timmurski]

The thing is its not a moment. It's years. I come to you calmly not wanting a future. I see a smile in your mouth as you speak. I see your eyes glow into the camera. I hear the success in your voice. I have been living for the sake of others. I fear hurting others with my passing more than death.

[imcarressa]

A key part of the human experience is suffering. Why would I want to keep going and experience even more of that. It's not even just that I want to die, I wish that I never even existed at all

[basiczachh]

Anytime I watch and listen to any positive uplifting words of encouragement or speeches, I can’t stop laughing it’s all a joke

[vishnuprakash]

Who else is just reading comments and not listening to what this guy is talking

[elleleet]

i just feel like there isn’t anything left for me, i just feel numb. i don’t want to do anything, i don’t want to talk to my family, my friends, or anyone. people have tried to reach out to me but i just don’t want to do anymore. i don’t want to have to do this for 60 more years. what’s the point? life is just constant disappointment for me. i don’t want to do this anymore

[ghostlyedgelord]

I struggle to be who I am because I'm forced to meet expectations, even though I'm told they're not forced

[realdreamz]

“The saddest beat is a heart that doesn’t want to anymore” 😢

[sociolocomtsac]

Good for you, buddy. If you have that kind of energy, passion for life, and curiosity about the world, you clearly don't have depression/anhedonia anymore. I create my own meaning. Neither meaning nor forging my path is the issue. When everything you do on Earth feels like nothing, no reward, that's when the problem occurs. Life feels like: having to do 100 pushups only to get a piece of uncooked broccoli. Life is just all about that broccoli. Everyone seems to love this broccoli (sense of reward, dopamine, which I don't feel).

[juliemonarch]

This young beautiful man is lecturing me about life.... Meh still want to die 😭

[tinywentz]

Last few weeks all i have been thinking about is i am 45 year's old. The happy times in my life are so far behind me that remembering them only makes me more depressed. I have accepted my fate. It's just become to hard to keep going on when in the end i will end up in the same place. Dead.

[digital.luckyy]

This whole quarantine is just making all my suicidal thoughts worse... I can’t talk to my therapist anymore because he was with my school and not seeing my friends is really taking it’s tole on me. I don’t have any motivation to do any school work and I’m scared to fail my classes but I’m not doing any of my work... I don’t know why- but it’s like I can’t.... I need help and I know I do but I can’t talk to my mom about this... people never understand why I can’t but I’m terrified of her... it’s nothing she’s done and idk why I’m so scared of her but I am...

[rczg]

Is living just to keep others from being sad really reasonable? Why am I the selfish one when I didn’t ask once to be here. Guilting someone into staying has to be one of the worse things you could do.

[carolinamora]

I know this is your style of video and I respect it. But when someone is truly sad, depressed, and needing someone to motivate them, this tone and attitude might make them feel mocked or even more discouraged. Rather than feel understood, this overly ecstatic tone might not be it. But regardless your intentions are good I guess, and you’re taking on this “motivational speaker” thing..

[anyo_mations]

I like to think of life as a dream. Whatever this reality is, whatever this conscious experience is, when we die, we'll experience a different state of consciousness. It's just like waking up from a dream. All it really comes down to is whether or not you want to have a good dream that you'll remember forever and you can look back and smile about, or if you want have a nightmare. All we take with us when we die is memories. We take nothing else. Nothing else but our conscience. I just want to stock up on good memories. Peace
