I've been trying to explain why I am always in bed to my parents for 3 years. I showed them this video and for the first time ever, nobody needed to talk. My dad cried and my mom thanked me, and then I went back to bed.

I come and watch this one from time to time. When he said depression is not the lack of joy but the lack of vitality, that hit me like a truck. No other statement perfectly sums up depression.

I’m pretty sure this is the fifth time i’m watching this but it’s honestly one of the best talks about depression.

The idea of valuing depression is hard to come to terms with. It is so awful and so intolerable that it is hard to imagine anything being worth it - anything.

I never thought one could love depression like the way he mentioned. Only those who have suffered through it understands the pain and agony that depression brings.

When you suffer from depression, no matter the time of day it is always three o'clock in the morning...
