  • Stephen Fry is the only man who can articulate what a drenching and fucking hopeless state of mind depression is. Depression is like drowning - you know what to do but you cannot reenter the surface despite all efforts.

  • im not suicidal i just want it to stop

  • Depression is a black hole that you fall into..... you fall, fall, fall, fall...... into this nothingness with no bottom...... YOU NEVER HIT THE BOTTOM. You just fall...

  • Depression is absolutely horrid. I wake up every morning feeling hopeless and exhausted. This video has been so useful. Stephen Fry likens Depression to a 'Void'. And it's so true. It feels like there's nothingness in your life.

    I recommend Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I've been following it for 2 years and it's helped me to find about the mental messages I have and how these have shaped my Depression.

  • Depression is crippling but I try hard to beat it. I also have aspergers syndrome dyspraxia, born deaf and clinical depression all formally diagnosed and possible ADHD. Stephen Fry has done well really with his comebacks. Please look at my own vids, especially of how MIND-RETHINK treated my Mum in hospital and the corrupt South Yorkshire Police harassing me at my house last week. If you can help, PLEASE do. We've tried so hard ourselves but get unlawfully blocked. Keep up the fight people.

  • i oversleep. I don't get up until i have a terrible headache .
