Nutter- A Film About Depression

A day in the life of me and my depression. Not as bleak as you might think, and more informative than you would expect. This film focuses on the stigma attached to depression.

NB. i am sick and tired of people coming on here and telling me that i am emo and that i dont know what depression is and i might as well kill myself, or go and get laid, or stop whining. this video isnt for you small minded people who arent human enough to listen to the views of others even if it contradicts your beliefs. this is about my experience with depression, no-one elses; i dont think i know the ins and outs of the illness. i know that there are people who suffer ALOT more than i do.

any childish and non critical comments will not be approved.

long forgotten, but somehow resurface over and over... I'm fucking up my education, I couldn't even keep my fucking goldfish alive, I can't even get out of bed when I need to, I'm nothing, I'm nobody, I'm shit... over and over and over and over.

Depression is fucking lame.

this hits extremely close to home. it's strange, we have so many of the same habits and mannerisms but i've never even met you. my room is also a wreck, i also skip school to waste time on the computer, i also just don't feel like fulfilling commitments, i also fail to see the point, but i also see beauty. it's weird, i try to see the beauty in everything but i just can't see it in myself.

[FlyingFnord]

on that note, i think you are wonderfully articulate and real, and very very pretty. thanks for doing this, it's really creative

This is a great video. I understand painfully well what you're going through. I posted yesterday saying I had stopped cutting and was on the road to recovery, however, I seem to have been mistaken. I feel so worthless for letting my guard down and cutting again after all this time. I'm going to start keeping a blog about my progress, and I hope it helps me stop and get focused on what really matters in life.

I was just discharged from a hospital near my house. I was kept there, against my will, for a week and half. Under the Baker Act, I was considered a danger to myself because I had written suicide notes, cut myself, and I had many, many horrible thoughts and wants to die. I really regret that time, and your video reminds me of what it felt like, and, how it still feels. Im trying so hard every day not to cut myself or hurt myself. Thank you for making this video.

I have two depressed friends, one of them being my boyfriend. I have to remind him constantly how great his life is. Now I'm only 13 and it may sound crazy, but i do give useful advice. I also have problems in my life but ive learned how to cope. Im not on meds, but i know tons of people who are on meds for depression. Also you said you love music, i blast music all day. I sit in my room all day and do nothing but blast music. Mainly loner music...

Depression is fascinating and beautiful in its own way and I know it causes lots of painful emotions that really hurt. It's a puzzle sometimes figuring out how to get over depression. When I figure it out I'm going to tell the whole world. Your video gave me a jump start. Thanks!

[daisybh]

Thank you.

I see a lot of myself in this. I never really thought about how my room is a reflection of my mind, but it really is. Everything in this video meant something to me, thank you for sharing.

IIt is true that depression can take control of you. That is why you ask yourself, "what is the point?" Your very own thoughts destroy your mental capability. There is no way to completely get rid of depression, but there is a way to dilute it. Clear your thoughts stop thinking about how your feelings affect you and focus on what you can do if you could just stop listening to yourself. The more you think one way, the more you convince yourself it is the truth.
