Explaining my depression to my mother // By Sabrina Benaim // Audio // Spoken Poetry

note : i am not depressed nor suicidal but i just think that mental health should be taken seriously and have more awareness to it. I make these types of videos so people can relate to it and know they are not alone. I also make these so people could try seek help and let their emotions out in the comment section and also know they arent the only ones going through whatever is happening.

*She shouted everything we were too afraid to even whisper....*

[aureliet.]

Damn... "no i'm afraid of living" That's it.

When you are alive: people dont care

When you are dead: they started to care

[whocares]

“It’s not that much fun having fun when you don’t wanna have fun” took the words straight out of my mouth😢

Depression is like being colourblind and constantly being told how colourful the world is.

[AudleyIrregular]

"Mom I'm not scared to die, I'm scared of living"

I felt that

[yamidk]

she yelled every single thing that we're all afraid to even whisper

[lindseyhollaway]

Dear parents,
We don’t need therapy.
We don’t need medication.
We don’t need you to yell at us.

We need you to support us.
We need you to talk things out with us.
We need you to spend time with us.

[sydneyschlefstein]

You can hear the pain in her voice, ☹️

[podiwongsosolayka]

Cut's after cut's.
Depression after depression.
Cries after cries.
Death after death.
It's either death or living....

[iriskeizer]

My depression is telling me to die....
But my anxiety is to scared to...

Why is it like this....I’ll never

[szemu_]

Depression is like living in a color less world with no freedom, no happiness but still smiling.

[neytanuki]

"Its not fun to have fun when you Don't want to have fun"
Thats so true

[whalecat]

Having depression is caring about nothing.
Anxiety is caring about everything.
Having both is caring too much about nothing.

[nettywettyy]

Depression is like living in a body that fights to survive with a mind that tries to die

[rayevans]

“i make plans but i don’t wanna go. i make plans because i know i should want to go. i know sometimes i would’ve wanted to go.”

I felt this in my Soul.

"Mama. I don't wanna die. I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all."

Who else is proud of her for shouting everything we wanted to shout?

[Kai-qsmg]

Mom says you're being dramatic.

I was being really dramatic when I was ready to overdose.

"You're not a drop in the ocean. You're the ocean in a drop"

"Depression, panic attacks and anxiety aren't signs of weakness. They're the signs of someone whos been too strong for too long"

We're not alone in our constant dance with depression and the demon on our shoulder. We're not just survivors, we're warriors. We need to learn to ease our minds to make the dance easier. 🖤🖤🖤🖤
