Marina here's some advice. Whenever you feel extremely upset try not yo push your partner away. Allow her to comfort you and for times when you need to be by yourself, then that's understandable and maybe in those cases she needs to back off. Just don't burden others with you problems if you do that. What I'd like to know is why you feel the way you do and is there a reason for it? Does it have anything to do with your background and has this been a life long problem for you?
i really like this girl, but she has a boyfriend. we like each other, but she needed some time to think. we would cuddle when she comes over, and i would write her notes everyday and give them to her in the hallway. on monday, i was really busy and i had a tough weekend, and she thought i was ghosting her. i apologized over and over again and she answered with “it’s fine” or “it’s whatever.” i have a fever so i didn’t go to school yesterday or today, and i woke up yesterday at five, and made some cookies for her. i also wrote her a letter and i gave it to my friend to give it to her since i didn’t go to school. and she didn’t say anything. she texted my last night and said she decided. and she chose him. and i was heartbroken and i cried for hours. i really love her. ANYWAYS YALL ARE ADORABLE AND NO ONE WANTS YOU GUYS TO BREAKUP.
Your transparency and willingness to always be so open about your life and specially regarding Mental Health has always helped me personally immensely. It's just your sincerity and honesty and knowing that, it helps despite Depression being different, subjective from person to person, like yourself i experience similar feelings (though i am single sadly). I am genuinely happy that i found your video and it's amazing (though the nature of our Depression isn't amazing), that i can feel some semblance of connectivity with people despite knowing you, and that it helps me mentally find some sort of clarity, Thank You Marina !
Me and my girl always communicate too when we have a misunderstanding 🥺 we'll be up all night talking about it so we can start the day well 🥺 communication is the key, telling eachother that it'll be alright
I'm so happy you're still together. I understand that feelings, when you feel so lost and broken that you hurt everyone around you and you don't even notice that. It's so hard to get away from that horrible state of mind but hey, we are all going to the process to be better. It was so sad to hear Alexe saying she was doing nice things and then feeling sad and hurt because she thought that you didn't love her anymore. But you both are so damn strong and I'm so proud of you for going out of this. Yes, you got this! Love u. Thanks for sharing this and talk to us. Please stay strong, always.🌻💛
10:57 I haven't self-harmed for months now and I have been doing my best to keep clean. I also drink a TINY TINY amount and on special occasions... but I don't see myself any better. I don't know if I might be using any other negative coping mechanism. But it does help, even the slightest bit.
PLEASE READ THIS .Hi Marina Lin my name is Arefin Mahin . I was in a relationship for 3 years . It's been 1 month we broke up but it feels yesterday it happened . And I just wanted to tell you something . About 25 days ago I was at a phase of hard depression. My life was going downhill so fast . I was on the verge of suicide .But then I saw your music video and I ignored it for a while but then I figured out maybe I should listen it .And so I did, I really enjoyed all your songs .I would listen to your song on repeat everyday . Even I'm listening your song . I love you so much and I don't think I would have still been here without you . PLEASE READ THIS .
@@duriadunibajing6335 Don't cry ! Stay strong .My mom said "Baby your emotion is important to us " .So your emotion also important to your mom .If something happened like this . Just go to your mom and discuss with her about this matter .It works and it will I think . Anyways take care always . You will get someone who deserves you!
I can relate. I have major depressive disorder and it’s difficult for me to be in relationships because I have my depressive episodes maybe 5 out of 7 days a week. And during these episodes my ability to feel any emotions gets shut off so in that moment I cannot feel the feelings and love I have for them. Its really hard and I end up making them feel alone in the relationship bc its wrong to force or fake it. I’m trying to get more control of it before I consider dating again though.
This is very encouraging and informative to me, a gay lil bean with depression who's in her first great relationship, too. Now I know what to expect if I ever get an episode while with this person, and how to maybe get out of it!
I've suffered from depression my whole adult life and have had a lot of very dark times, self harm and suicidal thoughts. BUT... I've also been married now for almost 30 years and I can tell you that getting through those difficult times together really does make your relationship stronger. You two are doing everything right - communication, empathy and love will keep you together. You may never be able to prevent those dark spirals altogether, but you will find ways to cope and win through. CBT will help with that I'm sure. Good luck to both of you - you go so well together. Also, love the album and the merch. Thank you for a great video.
Hi Neil, I read your comment and I can relate to it so much, the only difference is my wife and I have been married for 16 years, but together for 19. It's a struggle, we're just wired different, those of us that are affected. by mental illness. Thank you for sharing!
I’m sorry to hear that, but remember to do what makes you happy is what matters most. I’m happy you were able to open up about it, you’re really brave. Keep going and keep up the good work.
Oh yes, life is a continual "Work in progress"! - I never saw this side of depression! I'm on medication for decades now, but my depression never "allowed" me to have a relationship. I always thought, not getting help from a loved person, was the hardest thing, but not being able to accept this help seems so more harder!
Y'all are tough & honest & you both make me so proud to be a total mental wreck at times & know I can still be creative & maintain a healthy relationship. Y'all give me hope & joy. Much love & heartfelt best wishes. 💞🌹🌷🥀🏳️🌈💞
Thank you for showing your vulnerability and talking about what you were going through. It was equaly important and awesome that Alexe spoke about how she, as your partner saw and handled it. I'm really so happy for you that you managed to go through this dark period and managed to come back stronger on the other side.
I love how real this video is. Mental health within a relationship is so hard. I'm sad that you both went through this but appreciate that you have spoke about this ❤
I am dating this girl and she has huge anxiety problems and i really want to help her, but she keeps shutting me off. Any ideas on how to help her? She doesn't take any medications for her anxiety because her parents are very abusive and homophobic so i can't even come to her house. She doesn't even want to talk about it and i am getting desparate, it really hurts but i cannot tell her that because she would only blame herself more :(
If you tell her that her behaviour is hurting you, and she really care about you, she will open up I have anxiety too and I will never want to hurt my girlfriend feelings
Thank you for sharing this with us. Gives me hope that we don't have to be alone, and there's another way of dealing with depressive episodes than isolating yourself from everyone else. I hope whoever is going through an episode right now have a support system they can count on and can ask for help if they need to!! ♥️ Spring is a fresh start, we got this!
My best friend-turned-boyfriend and I just went through the same exact thing. We were both really depressed and insecure, and didn’t know how to interact with one another without taking things personally. We almost burned bridges completely, but ended up taking a break to focus on ourselves independently before repairing our relationship.
I remember your video “ over thinking” you looked like you was depressed I thought you guys broke up I was sad 😢. I wish you many many happy good healthy Successful life 💜💜💜
Thank you for sharing! Thoughts like that do happen to me sometimes... And I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse, but I forget things easily, and move on after brooding for a while. I studied Psychology and I've heard that CBT does help! Glad that you're better now. But even if there are future episodes, it's okay, after all, we're all a "WORK IN PROGRESS" (hahahah!) You'er never alone ♥️
Thank you so so so so much for making this video, you get trust issues with UA-cam clickbaitish title but I'm so glad I watched this as I feel me and my best friend/first love is going through this for a while and I came across pure ocd (it's not only washing or cleaning, I'm Hella messy, it's different) and anhedonia Tbh your life is like a dream as my person is in Israel and I'm in India, we never met offline, our families are not chill so we don't know how we can meet and all as we have good families, just this is something they don't understand but they are great parents, so we don't want to leave or cut connection
I know how it feels to be like marina i feel confuse, depression and sometimes i even have second thought about my ex gf..but the different between me n marina is tht i broke up wth my ex gf..we broke up last month..i feel like that is the best things to do since my mental health is unstable n i dont want to keep hurting her by my sudden cold action..i love her but i cannot keep hurtin her😔i hope she can find someone who can treat her better than i can..
aww well keep the amazeing video's up. this explains alot of your songs and gives me the context to understand where she was comeing friend. but at the end they are strong together so cute with the kisses so sweet awwww
Im so sorry! I have depression and I understand what you are going through. I am also bi but uhh.. i mostly like girls. I hope you guys will be happy and alright!
I read the title and somehow skipped the 'almost' part and got super sad, so glad it didn't happen. I can see how good she is for you. I hope you stay together forever. Much love from the Philippines 💌
Hey Marina, does Alexe have an Insta? If so, I want to follow her and you. I want my future relationship to be like yourssssss (feel like I will never, but still).
Marina, I've a suggestion for you. If you can, go and find an Enneagram coach in your area. it basically reveals your motivations and weaknesses and tells you how you can improve your life. You will also be able to discover other people's enneagram type, so that you can improve your relationships with the people around you. The lessons can be expensive, but so worth it.
