After some years with depression and waking up after around 2 hours sleep (if I sleep at all), I found the explanation for it all. Even better, after reading the book I could finally sleep, go to college and do the work there (important since I am writting my Masther Thesis). I wake up knowing that I will be able to do get things done rather than satying home and feeling tired and guilthy.

wow this is so illuminating. i've had recurrent depression for years. and recently have been in a pretty bad episode. i've been dreaming so vividly, long and complicated dreams and waking up exhausted. i've also been ruminating on the idea that my life is meaningless. so strange to hear all of what i've been struggling with in this video.

This makes sense... Lately I've been having long and vivid dreams that I remember almost in their entirety, and whereas I used to wake up happy, now I wake up so incredibly depressed its like lying in a dysphoric purgatory (even after a happy dream).

HA! he said "...one shouldn't make light of depression.." Oh.. i know somebody who's related to me that thinks it's a fucking joke.. "seriously".. Actually laughed about it!.. How offensive and disturbing is that!?!

great video, this actually made sense among all the BS stories and labeling people like it's a brain disfunction that can be fulfilled with some pills. Your voice is also very calm and pleasant.
