ASMR for DEPRESSION Relief | Let Me Comfort You

Triggers: light and hand movements, face touching, whispers, inaudible whispers, repetition, tapping, face brushing, affirmations, fabric scratching, mouth sounds, personal attention, finger flutters

Hi guys 💜 I decided to make this video because my anxiety relief video seemed to help a lot of people and I just loved helping and connecting with you guys while being transparent about my own mental health struggles. This video is centered around depression, and while I don't personally suffer from clinical depression, I've had really low lows dealing with my anxiety and OCD. If you feel inspire to share your own tips with dealing with depression, ways you've overcome it, and why you're glad you're still here and fighting, please share as a comment!

Feel free to watch my video on anxiety relief to find other techniques with dealing with panic, anxiety, and mental health issues.

Until next time!

I dont think I’m depressed, I just feel these extremely intense moments at times when I feel like a huge weight of despair is just crushing my chest and I don’t know how to make it through it. It feels awful and videos like this where I feel like you are truly here with me make me slowly feel better. Thank you Sarah

I feel like I've been so stuck in my own depression and anxiety for years. Tonight I had my breaking point, I was having a hard time giving myself reasons to live. I desperately wanted to feel better, but couldn't bring myself to. It's currently 5:29am in the morning and I still haven't slept. I thought listening to ASMR could perhaps help me sleep, I had no idea there was ASMR for depression. You made me cry with your kind words and encouragement. I can't thank you enough, I didn't know I needed to hear all this until now. I overthink about the future all the time, and the quote " What's yours will find you" spoke volumes to me in so many ways. Thank you Sarah again, you really helped me in such a dark time in my life when I felt so defeated.
Edit: it’s been about 10 months and I can say I’m in a much better place, thank you for everyone’s kind words.

I was an extreme anxiety sufferer in the past and I can attest to what Sarah is saying here: things really can get better. I don't have daily panic attacks any more, and they were so severe it led to something called But I had to put in a lot of work and patience into it. Some months it felt like I only got 2% better, or worse. And yet each year I noticed tangible progress. I'm dumbfounded that I am now, more or less, anxiety free, because there was one point in my life I thought I was certainly doomed for good. Anyways, good luck to you all 👍

“There is nothing wrong with you.” God I wish I could have that on repeat 24/7

[collinmasterson]

You just verbalized everything that I’ve been feeling for a while now. Hearing it makes it a lot easier to manage and recognizing when things start getting dark. THANK YOU!!!

As someone that crys every night and can't sleep because of it.
This video is gift from heaven. Thank you so much. Your an angel

I feel like I'm only pretending to be happy during my days. I distract myself and I'm happy for a while but then something happens, often related to a member of my household, and I'm right back where I started. ASMR has never really worked for me in the past but this was wonderful. Hearing all of the affirmations helped, I often forget to say nice things to myself. This video helped me relax a lot so thank you Sarah.

[letmegrieve]

You posted this exactly as I was having a pretty bad episode of gut wrenching anxiety and unbearable sadness... 10 minutes in and I'm starting to calm down, thank you for this. I'm really thankful for all of you ASMRtists, you're the best possible palliative ❤

[lexicomet]

I always find videos like these really comforting because of what is said but also because seeing all the likes and views makes me realize that I’m not alone in this. Also, to whoever needs this right now,

Please take care of yourself, you deserve it even if you don’t think you do
You’re real and you matter

I'm in a bad place, my depressive episodes go on for short or long periods of time, it's been over a month now. I've pushed everyone away, even my tharpist. It seems to be pathetic to feel some type of reassurance from someone online, but it's helped me get through this. I seriously appreciate you so much. I'm trying my best to get through this<3

[switchblade]

Absolutely broke down at "There will come a day where you are wholeheartedly glad that you're alive." For some reason the concept of just enjoying life and being happy about it has genuinely been unfathomable to me for years but hearing it from someone with such a seemingly incredible understanding of state of mind and who has actually dealt with similar conditions makes it feel achievable. Cannot thank you enough for this video.

[claramoro]

Thank god we have internet and people like Sarah who are just benevolent whithout asking anything in return :) facing myself with severe anxiety, those videos have helped me in a way I never it could !

[Button_head]

The soft look in your eyes just makes me feel like the whole world is ok ❤❤❤

[artlover]

I’m autistic and haven’t slept/slept well the past couple of weeks and today I scared my little, 11 year old dog because he wouldn’t stop barking at me and ngl I want to hurt myself a little. I’m not, because I genuinely don’t want to. I don’t think I’m going to watch the whole video rn because I’m so sleep deprived I need something to just knock me out rn. I appreciate you and every other ASMRist who do these types of videos. People should strive to be this kind to others, especially to those with mental illness and are neurodivergent.

I've been in a super dark place. I'm diagnosed with treatment resistant depression. Meds help but it's been diminishing returns. I have a wonderful therapist and I'm incredibly fortunate to have an amazing support network. Still, the past six months has been a scary descent into new extremes in my ideation. Real life circumstances have precipitated the decline, as well as a culminating effect of life's challenges constantly overwhelming me for decades. All this just to say that watching this video really brought me out of a place of despair and rumination. Your sweet, genuine manner feels so authentic and it's clear that you're speaking from a place of personal experience. No cheap cliches, no overly easy solutions, just a compassionate and knowing warmth. I hope you take such good care of yourself as you express here. And if I ever win the lotto, I'd offer you a high paying job following me around rescuing me from despair haha, just name your terms. 😆
Really though, without imposing, I would love to pick your brain to learn more about your journey with mental health and wellness. You have the aire of someone who's come to a place of hard-earned contentment, serenity even.
Welp, sorry for the novel haha. I've just been really impressed by this and I'd love to learn more/share some of my story with you and your channel.
My deep gratitude to you; be well ❤

You are a literal angel. I have been struggling with medical issues for the past 3 1/2 months and getting depressed from it a lot. I have lost my appetite completely and suffer with nausea everyday. It has kept me out of work and unfortunately the process of figuring out what is wrong seems like it will never end. I felt incredibly alone last night and watched this and got so much comfort. I was able to dry my tears and drift off to sleep peacefully. I don’t know if you truly understand how meaningful this is to some of us random people in the world, but, from the bottom of my heart thank you for helping me through a very tough night ❤️

[EffSharp]

I’m here because Ive conquered ptsd after a horrible trauma (loss of loved one to suicide) and my life has been wonderful … but I just just diagnosed with a life altering and terrifying illness and I just needed help relaxing so I can get my strength up for the fight ahead. To everyone here who is sad, my heart goes out to you. Please know that people do care and life can be mind bendingly beautiful. The pain and sadness doesn’t last forever, I promise. ❤️

[Kelker]

You have such a calming presence that it makes it so easy to trust you. It makes me feel able to fully relax and feel supported by you, especially when facing my own vulnerability can be exhausting! Thank you for being so down to earth and just being yourself. It makes all the difference ❤

[Kittykisskissnikita]

why is this video more comforting than anyone in my life is to me
