I wish people could see how serious mental illness actual is :(

[reganpackwood]

I wish people understood that anxiety isn't a thing that goes away...

They would sleep better if they had turned off the lights.

I have social anxiety and panic attacks and while I was in gym I was freaking out about running the mile because what if I wasn't fast, what if I fall, there were so many possibilities and I told my gym teacher I wasn't feeling good. He told me to take his class seriously and if I wasn't physically hurt I was going to run. All of my classmates called me childish and a wimp. Just because you can't see the illness it doesn't mean that it's not there

[imtotallysirius]

Somebody once compared the flu to my anxiety.

[Nagrooven]

Having never had a mental illness or depression of any sort, I am completely ignorant to how it feels, BUT I hope all of you can feel better and live a happy life! :)

I wish the title was " Mental illness vs Physical illness" because the video of the person should be on the left/right side.

I'm so upset that I am seeing people saying mental illness is fake or that thise affected need to "deal with it" or "just grow up" 🙄

[chunt_is]

is everyone just ignoring the fact that they're taking a serious mental illness and putting it next to a cold or flu rather than a serious disease which can have the same affects if not worse to someone's health as its mental and physical.

[alexandran.]

I've been struggling with mental issues for years now. Videos like this are sad but they make me feel less alone because I see people in the comments that are suffering from the same thing as me and I realize I'm not that one weirdo among all the normal people like I always feel like but there are others who I can relate to and vice versa.

[Mushroom_Man]

What depression is like for sufferers: Constant, agonising feelings of nothingness, a complete sap of motivation to get anything done as well as physical energy, longing for those short times where you can actually feel something other than what you are currently, feeling like everything is completely pointless and worthless, literally severely harming yourself just to possibly feel something different, self loathing beyond what any rational being could imagine.

What non-sufferers think depression is like: lmao I'm too lazy to do anything now I'm gunna cut myself for attention lolololololol.

[gedannyvera]

I wish I could speak out more about what I feel but I fake a smile for my mother :/

[willows]

I very much hate how adults will always tell teenagers and kids: "If you have any problems, you can talk to us, " but then completely ignore you if you have any emotional issues...

[ileana]

That's the thing how do I ask for help when no one takes me seriously 😧

[whovianrycbar]

This is why taking a day off for mental health reasons should be viewed the same way as taking a day off when you have a cold!

[positivetay]

i hate how people are not taking this video seriously. really immature. here are people like me, dealing with anorexia and depression, AND anxiety, crying and fighting like hell to stay alive. but no. people treat is like its nothing.

[CharlotteVictoriaB]

The fact so many people have to fight mental illnesses is so heartbreaking.

[Sunny_Pumpkins]

ive already asked for help. i told my mom about it. she told me i was making it up and copying my sister, just because my sister asked for help before i did. the only people who care about my mental health are my best friends and thats just because i was able to tell them.

[angstyghost]

People need to understand mental illnesses are not "a phase" teens and anyone just goes through
