Billie Eilish On Mental Health & Friendship | Ad Council

[andjela]

i love the fact that she uses her platform to talk about mental health. this is my role model

[iwbqvgp]

billie always ALWAYS asks us if we’re okay and that in itself shows me how much she cares about us

[_magicalpotatos_]

I’m gonna say this right now..
DEPRESSION IS NOT AESTHETIC
ITS NOT COOL TO BE DEPRESSED AND THINK ITS PRETTY ITS NOT OK

[gabbyperez]

As a 13 year old who has went through bullying, depression and anxiety, self harm, and body image issues, just because I was 10 when this all started doesn't mean I don't have depression. This goes for everyone, not only myself. Now I am 4 months clean of self harming. I am so proud of where I am right now. My parents don't support me, but I have lots of friends that have my back. I am so grateful to have them. My parents have made me feel like asking for help makes you weak, and this reassured me otherwise. Thanks Billie. I will always love you.

This girl knows. Please share this video. She speaks so much truth that can help us all.

Bruh why do people think that 14 year olds can’t have depression. Do y’all know what’s going on in their lives? And yes there are those who are experiencing hormonal changes but there are those who have real problems in their life and it’s people that go
“ no one:”
“14 year olds: IM DEpRessEd”

That make them not want to open up and talk about it because they believe no one will believe them or people will make fun of them.

billie is a huge advocate for mental health awareness and it adds to the millions of reasons i love her 🥺

[vanessaquevedo]

Told my Mexican cultured parents I lost my will to live and they tried to tell me I was possessed HAHA

[rootpaw]

Some of the comments in this comment section are so saddening. I am older. I've spent substantial time working in high needs school districts. I've been to more suicide funerals than any other type of funeral. Two of those funerals the shame was still so thick that the cause of death was literally just ignored. Mental Health Is Real. Please don't ever accuse someone of faking being sad for attention. The reality is, if they ARE actually "faking" for attention, that is concerning in and of itself and deserves love and help. Billie being willing to openly talk about something that many adults (and some kids) "shame" or "push aside as a phase" is really important for people of all ages to see. I'm sure you would rather have an uncomfortable conversation about feelings with your kid (or friend) than have an uncomfortable conversation at their funeral. So be nice or be quiet ;) If you agree with this please click like or comment to push it above the negative comments, and do the same for the other positive ones.

I love my billie I am glad she talks about this stuff

[amieyahmil]

I hate it when people say she’s ‘fake depressed’ I find it so sadly ignorant, because everyone has their own personal issues with that they struggle with.

[sierra]

I was so embarrassed when I had to as for help. I almost lost my battle with mental health. Never be ashamed or embarrassed to ask for help with your mental health. When I asked for help I'm not gonna lie it was hard, it was really hard. But because I did it, I am alive. I still struggle today, but I survived, and I am so grateful for that.

[_sunchildd]

i’m so so glad how far she’s come. depression is life long and i’m sure she still has bad days.. but i can just tell shes waaaay better now than she used to be. and that makes me so happy :’)

[severinposey]

billie: yes

14 year old girls: OMG YES I HAVE DEPRESSION

[colyne__]

I'm not at all good about myself and hearing Billie speak makes me feel good

[gayelzae]

POV: Asking for help means you're brave enough to admit you're hurting ❤

[mara]

I don't know if someone needs to hear it but: I care about you and I'm proud of you! love you, you are strong and you can use your power to do something good today!
'Everybody you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.'

Everyone: Billie saved me!!!

I mean, it’s possible she did, but most of the time, people act like they have a mental health problem because their parents refused to let them go to a party

[ikeeichenberg]

I don't listen to her music, but she just seems like such a chill person

[jackelyn]

I love she literally helps me with my mental health. What a kingggg
