  • I was just diagnosed to day I finally have an answer that I've been searching for sense i was 5.

  • For anyone who may be interested, the 3 people involved in the making of this video are coming together 4 years later to re-create this production in a full hd format.

  • Loved your movie!! Describes pretty well how does it feel... the morning part, where you're getting ready and everything repeats itself while you're looking for strength to do it...you just showed how i feel everyday.

  • It's tough to try to identify the problem. You know something is wrong, but you can't put a name on it. You're not too high or too low. You just look at things as they are and say "it is what it is". This is worse than major depression. I know because I had both.

  • @jpzxcvbnm exactly!.

  • I love this video so much. A beautiful interpretation of a horrible thing. It truly feels like the worst rut of your life but you feel like there is no way out. Everything is delt, there is no real control.

  • I'm 56 and can look back and recall a depression starting in my early teens and peaking when I was 22, that seemed to start it all. I take meds to avoid major depression, and they keep me functional, the dysthemia though, is always is there to some degree or another. I recently read dysthemia gets worse as a person gets older and I've found that to be true. I've forgotten what it is like to just feel good about something without having to convince myself about it first.

  • This video basically discribes my life. I can't really recall the last time I've experienced any kind of real happiness. All my life there has been this emptyness, this feeling of not belonging, and this feeling of not being loved. I have suffered depression for around 30 years and lately it has become severe if not crippling for months on end now. I guess this explains the reason why I keep going from one activity to another. I just feel emotionally flat and unworthy.

  • @RB902050 Look, maybe this is not my place to say, but the way you live your life is up to you. If there is something I learnt it's that if you try hard enough, you'll have much bigger chance of achieving what you want. Have some confidence in yourself. You're not the only one who goes through this. Find something that you love doing and stick with it. I wish you a good luck :)

  • the video was nice, definitely expressed the feeling. i think the best thing for him would be to move to a new place, change jobs, or at least have someone to support him.. if you have someone who is willing to help you, you wont encounter this situation.

  • @zoe745 The moving to a new job, to a new place is the easy part. It's finding the supportive person that can prove to be the ultimate challenge because so many people are turn-off by people who suffer any sort of mental illness. I've always said to myself, all it takes is for one person to be supportive. I think the 650lb virgin and his personal trainer is a prime example. His trainer believed in him and helped him to reach his goals and get national recognition too.

  • @RB902050 Yeah, I agree, but this kind of people is hard to find, although many times the way we see the people around us is not how they really are. But, well, the important thing is not to give up. It also depends all what mental illness you're talking about. I don't know anyone who has Dysthymia, but from what I understood they only need someone to push them and be there for them. If you talk about things like Asperger syndrome, then yes, it may be hard because they are so different.

  • that made me pretty depressed. i feel like im guna die now. My depression started with catholic school. the nuns were brutal in kindergarden. then i went to 1st grade and couldn't make friends.

    point: do they make pills for this? i need some treatment before i go to college so i won't jump

  • EXPAND YOUR MIND TO UNDERSTAND YOUR PURPOSE IN LIFE WATCH Carl Sagan - Cosmos: A Personal Voyage - Koyaanisqatsi - Baraka - Alan Watts - Terence McKenna - Desmon Morris - The Human Animal - Richard Dawkins The root of the problem lies in the fact that society has made us into consumerist drones with no purpose in life (no meaning) or 'connection' to a permanent community. Yes.. you can stop the pain, but it's gonna take curiosity, faith and hard work. We are not alone

  • That was extremely life changing to watch since I have dysthymia. Thank you so much for putting out such an amazing video and showing me how this works out. Hopefully, I will be cured by the depressing fact that I have dysthymia....

  • Jesus. This was fucking amazing.

    I hope you don't mind, I'll be using this in a presentation at school very soon.

    Thank you so much for making this.

  • That was excellent it realy captured how I feel daly... I feel like this a lot.... Some day somthing will change I hope

  • having dysthymia is horrible. people may say its not serious, but its chronic and its VERY serious. ive had it since i was 12 and its recently gotten worse. i used to be fit, very active and always in a good mood. but when i got older i became overweight and ate alot. ever since junior high started its gotten worse. now i have to take daily medicine for it and its not the kind of life i wanna live any more.

  • shit that was me

  • That was beautiful.

  • It's so well made, but I also can't relate the dysthymic disorder to it. Because, therethe guy has reasons to suffer. He gets bullied and too much work that is boring him. But with dysthymia you often suffer out of the nothing, with no reason. But, anyway, great work! Love it. :) And maybe there are different ways of dystymia. I just do know my. >.>

  • The crowd that hangs out at the bus tops represents society or some sort of a social circle, he's seen as an outcast and strange because he's not part of the crowd or because he isolates himself. The girl is not real, she represents happiness, he chases her and and whenever he attempts to find her she disappears, such as the roof and when he looks at the park bench. No matter how hard he tries she keeps eluding him and therefore he remains unhappy. Well thats my interpretation anyways. =/

  • thanks for making this movie. this is how it is or worse..i have been suffering for 20 years or so..chronic fatique, lack of interest in everything, no happiness, no laughter, it is like the last 20 years have been a complete waste..have been sacked from many jobs becoz of extremely low productivity..there is absolutely no reason why I should continue to live but with a wife and 2 kids it is not possible just now to end it all..i see others happy, laughing, full of life and wish I was like them

  • GREAT vid. That's just how it is. You wake up feeling horrible, morning after morning, and struggle with feelings of negativity, hopelessness, exhaustion, anxiety, apathy, etc, while everyone around you is so happy/normal. And then it builds until you just want to give up because everything's too hard and nothing's going to change and what's the bloody point? And then one day you decide to just give in to everything and not go to work, or school, or w/e, and it all goes downhill from there.

  • This is really, really well done.... Was it for a school project or just to create awareness? Good job!!!! 5*

  • I have dysthymia and I'm not sure that I can relate to this video.

  • You did a very good job on this video! It is touching, especially the music! Thank you for making this and keep up the good work!

  • love it dood i got the same thing music iz perfect and i like how repetitive it is.

  • This is a great representation. I can finally show others what the world looks like through my eyes. The lonely monotony, the bullies and the girl on the park bench are very good analogies.

  • Thanks for the video. It reminded me a bit of my life

  • I don't get it. What do bullies have to with dysthymia?

  • @imover18soshowittome

    Dysthymia like depression is mainly affected by external factors, negative energies from the world around you and the people in it can cause an internal disequilibrium, Many mood disorders are associated with things that we lack the power to control or change.

  • I've never watched a youtube video that has brought me to tears but I can entirely relate to this and the shoes at 4:40 I have those so I think I'll wear them tomorrow, Thankyou.

  • So good. Thankyou.

  • Hold on people :)

    I will never forget that day when I woke up and felt alive FINALLY after four years of isolation and detachment from the world and people, and suddenly, all my fears got so small and irrelevant, and I could truly sense how does it feels to be alive and to be present in this moment.

    If I could recover without any drugs (because at the time I didn't know my hopelessness is actually a disorder), so can YOU!

    If there is anything good about dysthymia - it DOESN'T LAST FOREVER!

  • I "suffer" from Dysthymia and it is exacly like you shown it... Thank you! great music and video.

  • I "suffer" from Dysthymia and it is exacly like you shown it... Thank you! Great video, great music.

  • I "suffer" fro Dysthymia and it is exacly like you shown it... Thank you! Great video, great music.

  • i had dysthymia which turned into major depression and i would do anything to erase myself from the world to escape the negative feelings, but i have parents and brother and sister.. i can't bring the pain to them. so i am stuck.

  • @bqureshi21 Fuck man, I feel the same, but about my daughter ... I thought I was the only one

  • It was toutching

  • I am glad NOW this condition can be treated and even cured. The only issue for a person is to find out they HAVE it

  • this is making me cry :'[

  • Ok, I should stop commenting on this work, which is really great, but I`ve had my share of being picked on by brutes. Who will survive? Who will finish in the end with a smile? We do. We know pain. You just can`t kill us. Painful? Yes. But hang in there. I would also advise you doubters out there to get advices from a professional psychiatrist before you land on this diagnosis.

  • very very beautiful video, really great!

  • fucking beautiful. just wow :)

  • can someone tell what song is being played throughout this vidio??

  • it's an original composition.

    says so in the credits

  • The video shows a serious mental condition, and your worry is the music? Get real.

  • Comment removed

  • i am defenetly Dysthymic and i am 11 and i feel like there is no way out i

  • Great great "Kurzfilm".

    Totally realistic and brillant too !!

  • I think this film is good, it conveys the message of what dysthymia really is without saying one word.

  • I can really relate to this...It's so sad...I can't take it

  • this is soooo sad....i can relate alot

  • whats the music

  • I believe it started when I was 12 years of age, but it started its bloom at 16. So many questions noone could answer: "What is this?", "Why am I feeling this way?" and so on. I took great pleasure in activities that involved isolation, such as writing, drawing and scale modelling. Then I started drinking to calm these emotions, and as result, all my former interests are now gone. I try to pick up, but I am too impatient. Can't help the feeling that I have been robbed many years of happiness.

  • Feel the same way.

  • Now I am a full time alcoholic, which lives from hour to hour. I am a representant of the jolly bunch in the city I live in. Screw you Dysthymia, and the horse you came riding on. I love my life, but I hate you. ATM I am drinking myself to death.

  • Looks like part II didn't make it through. So it goes...

  • Part III

    As K.D. sang, "Still someone marches brave, here beneath my skin...."

    It's kind of like an emotional color-blindness for me, I guess. That's only one guy's story. I'd love to hear from others.

    Keep the faith, keep opening out further, you're not alone.

  • Yep. Shows up differently for some. Not really about "depression" as many think of it (sad, morose, etc). That is unless you have double depression (dysthymia and major depression, what a treat....). Many wouldn't know you're depressed, but your breadth of expression starts going away. More a horizontal thing than a vertical (happy, sad) sort of thing. Stuff that you could handle, or made you happy before, can't handle now and no more joy. You look around, no way out. Nothing seems attractive.

  • is that what it's called?

  • I'm another Dysthymic. The last scene in this video sums it up for me, total isolation.

  • I was diagnosed this in september. i have had manic episodes as well. I think thats what they were. I had my thoughts running to fast, I couldnt concentrate , I had voices tell me to kill myself and I felt like I couldnt controll my body. whats this song? nice job

  • this felt like looking at myself in the mirror

  • Is it just me or do other people with dysthymia feel embaressed listening to this music about dysthymia?

  • yep dysthymia.untill i got diagnosed i didnt know i was depressed.been like it all my life. i thought everyone felt the same.meds done nothing although am now trying paxil.last one i tried effexer never that that drug.personally i think were all fucked we just have to live with it.i now going to smoke some bud great for my aniexty and when your high at least i have a little bit of depression freefor a while.

  • have you tried prozac? i have been taking that for 2 weeks and starting to feel better. had this my whole life. nothing else worked. also non narcotic sleeping pills at 8:30 every night.

  • I was labeled with dysthimia along with 4 other dissorders..this seems just like my life ...everyday..good work..

  • Hey, i was diagnose with Dysthymia back in 1998 i'm now 25. I was bulled and it had effected my life. Even today it still effects me when i see the people that bulled me. They use to pick on me because i have Dislexica . I still struggle from day to day.

  • one word: classy.

  • this movie seems kinda similiar to my life. thought i don't think i have dysthymia because i've had despression for only bit over year.

  • what makes this better than a home made music video??

    YSF

  • do not self diagnose yourself..its no good...go to a professional...

  • im always wanting and dwelling alot about things. routine routine routine! just like this guy, i feel the same. one day just drifts into the next and becomes comfortable somehow but not a healthy state of mind. i quit going to work last year, i just quit showing up for a few months and my financial situation worsened but luckily my boss let me come back. i've tried zoloft and to it's credit i did see thing's more clearly but i'm not a pill taker so i quit. i do a gig in town that helps.

  • That was beautiful. It's like my life, except the punch in the face part.

  • The pacing is really very nice. Well done and beautiful.

  • Classy, artsy, and creative. Excellent and beautiful portrayal.

  • Very nice unspoken film

  • This film is beautiful. I was trying to get some kind of idea what was going on in my life, or should I say, how to describe whats going on in my life" This film nailed it. After 35 years of life,last week I went to the doctor and found out that the last 4 of them I have had Dysthymia. I had no idea that depression was the cause of the changes in my life. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

  • I've had Dysthymia for as long as I can remember, but I'm not actively seeking treatment in any way. My personality has been corrupted by this defect for far to long, I can't change now. I'd rather end this absurdity called existence, than lie to myself about who I am.

  • Great film! It perfectly shows the emptyness the guy feels.

  • I want this song on mp3

  • yes, it's my life, only one little difference: noone can beat me or hurt me and going away on his legs...

  • what is the name of the song ?

  • The song didn't have a name, it was written and performed by the Director

  • NEVER GONNA

  • I am dysthymic and I feel that way every day. :( Thank you, it was a beautiful movie.

  • huh good movie

  • that was REALLLY cool :]

    great job :D

  • GЯEAT!

  • loved it =]

  • Hmmm, I was diagnoses with dysthymia, what my clinician told me, is, that it is a mild depression if any, this video is ok, but it looks like that kid was depressed every single day, its sad, how he had the opportunity to talk with that girl and he didnt take it, everyone is an archetict of their destiny.

  • dysthymia comes in many different 'shades.'

    dysthymia for me is constantly being depressed with random days of extreme depression. It's the lack of emotion that slowly eats at me. the void of feeling.

  • Are you talking about you personally, have you been diagnosed with dysthmia, I was, like almost 2 months ago, I did not take any drugs, just went to see my clinician every 3wks or so, I have to admit, i feel fine now, its all mental, heads up!

  • ... Unfortunately not all of us are as fortunate. Neither Drugs nor therapy has helped me. This isn't a small number, we're talking about 20-30% of people are NOT affected by drugs + therapy (that's only if they do both). I'm glad you could get past this affliction, but don't be so obtuse on your assumptions that it's "all mental," as if we can change so swiftly like you.

  • sorry this was supposed to be a reply to dogman75 :x

  • I was diagnosed last week. At the age of 25, my doctor told me I had been suffering from it all my life. Imagine that. :( I just feel almost cheated out of 25 years of my life. It's no joke. It's not just the random sadness - poor to no social skills, inability to work and such leaves you like an outcast. Just like him, when I go to the bus stop, I stay in a corner, never close to anyone or try to talk to anyone. I see me in him.

  • and I saw me in this description.. I've always been doubting others.. I don't trust strangers and I'm always standing silently in the background.. desperately hoping I'm not the douche I think I am

  • Well, dysthymia really depends on how long you've been suffering from it. Some people are born with it.

    I have felt like that every single day of my life. Sure, I've tried tons of things and have kinda started to accept it and live with it. But every day when I wake up, I feel the same way. I don't want to leave the bed, I stand far from from everyone, I can't approach anyone even for a casual conversation.

    I love this movie :)

  • hello,
