The way you describe the difference between sadness and depression is soo on point.
I find it the best way to describe depression, especially when people try to romanticize it.
@@nina.montagne so true... you go girl, you got this, you're not alone💜
I couldn’t agree more!!
My husband suffers from depression and I really struggle on those "bad" days where he just can't verbalise things. You've helped me to understand some things, thank you for bringing some light to my day
You are a source of light and kindness even with difficult topics like this. I also have chronic depression and it is always helpful to hear we are not alone. I really relate to what you've said. Sending lots of love Nina xxx
Oh thank you so so much, it really means a lot, I'm sure you're just as kind and lovely! It is especially because we're so quick to forget that we are not the only ones. Big hug your way. If anything, I think depression has made me a whole lot more compassionate, and from what I can see, it has done the same to you
@@nina.montagne depression and my eating disorder have taught me so much and brought many important people into my life. It is not all bad news, but it is very very hard sometimes. Big hugs to you too, and if you're ever in London, do shout x
the fact that so many people have to pay for therapy and can't afford it makes me so sick.. it should be free everywhere. Without therapy I would maybe not be here anymore. Thanks to universal healthcare I've been in therapy for five years and after a break of a few years I started again this year. Thank you for discribing depression so well!

Yes it is so bad! Self education is also important because much of the content is of good quality on the internet. Like meditation techniques. Have you tried that? Lots of love from Holland
My boyfriend is struggling with this right now. He needs to go to therapy SO badly, but it will cost him anywhere from $50-$100 per appointment, and we just can't afford that expense. The US is so far behind everyone in healthcare 😭🤦🏼♀️
i had to pause halfway through the video to write this comment. i havent been diagnosed but im very confident that i have been dealing with depression for years now. i just wanted to say that i have never related more to your description of depression and the feelings that come with it. thank you so much for opening up on this topic and sharing. it truly makes me (and a lot of people here) feel less alone. sending lots of love ❤️
I'm in my early/mid twenties and I've been following you all through my coming of age process and you really just mean so much. I'm sitting in my room at my abuelo's bawling my eyes out and completely unable to do anything and it feels very comforting and soothing to listen to you talk about this state I'm in once again. I hope you're doing okay. Un abrazo muy fuerte.
That part of relationships and “sorry rounds” really resonates with my experience of chronic depression. I really appreciate that you have emphasized this aspect. I have blamed myself for years for constantly losing friends and not being able to sustain a relationship of any kind - but that is who I am and who I will always be. Having friends that understand my situation and know when it’s time to drag me out of my room or leave me alone made me realize that I cannot solve this problem alone. It really does help having even one friend that is aware of your situation and knows how to react upon it and most importantly - does not expect you to act happy, joyous and positive when being with them and just for them. It’s really hard to accept that most people will not find this type of relationship fulfilling enough to stay and it is ok to let them go. It goes both ways.
Nina, thank you for being so open about this. I really enjoyed this video and many of your previous ones. Keep doing what you do! 💞
Thank you so much for talking about the guilt that comes with depression (or a lot of other mental illnesses). It is a very real thing, and I do not really hear people talk about it. I still have a very bad self image due to feeling guilty because of my mental illness since I was 13. It has quite an impact on people.
ua-cam.com/video/_0MvQmOEq0E/v-deo.html
I can relate to you! I felt guilty as well and it makes it only even worse. Have you tried a gratitude journal and meditation to uplift yourself?
The statement you said about friends & developing a comfort of being by yourself really resonates with me. I've been in & out of depression with chronic anxiety. And it's definitely impacted my relationships. I love your realness & vulnerability, Nina! These feelings are so difficult, but there's some sense of community in the feelings shared. Sending you love
Thank you for speaking your truth and talking about it and helping so many other people! I have been feeling such stuff lately. Thank you! love you🥰🌟🌞
Thank you for putting words to a struggle that is sooooo hard to explain to people who just don’t understand.
You are such a beautiful real person and an oasis of calm on the internet! This video will help so many people (including myself!). Sending you so much love and respect for speaking about such a difficult topic.
i've never really resonated with people's descriptions of depression but hearing yours was a breath of fresh air. thanku so much!!!
That helped me more than I thought. Thank you so much, you are so much of a heartwarming soul
The state right now really gives us a lot of anxiety and depression. It is so brave of you talking about this. It is very inspiring. Stay safe and healthy💓
Love your video so much.
Thank you so much for this video. I was recently diagnosed with depression and it really feels comforting to know that I’m not in this alone, everything you said was so relatable. I admire you so much, you are amazing
Right now, I feel quite numb and this video makes me feels less alone. Thanks for this conversation ❤
Ah this video came at a perfect time. Thank you for your well-researched words and support.
Thank you for sharing. It really gave me a new perspective on how I can help myself and friends that are going through same. I think push myself and friends to feel positive and do things to feel better and sometimes it doesn't work that way, it doesn't help.
I'm just seeing this. Thank you so much for sharing. I too suffer from depression and it's refreshing to hear others open up about their struggle. Much appreciated.
Thank you for making this video, what you said was very true to my experience and it helped so much to hear this from you.
Thank you for sharing ❤️ this video is so important, makes us feel not alone😌
It's so nice to watch something and feel understood. You're such a chill goddess and you are spreading compassion by sharing your truths and experiences. Thank you, dear Nina. xx
Thank you so much Nina... I've been going through this lately and this video gave me that feeling of comfort you talked about 💜
I'm glad. I send you a big hug and hope you have someone you can talk to! Lots of love x
Such an important conversation and points - thank you
Hello you!! Thank you for watching my sweet 💝 hope you’re good!
Nina! You always will be one of my favourite youtuber! Thank you for this honest video! Look forward to your videos every week! xx
Ayyy thank you so much that is so kind and really warms my heart! I hope you're well and I send you a big, big hug. Lots of love x
I have been depressed for most of my life, but when I changed my thoughts and implemented some techniques I overcame it. Yes, we can all overcome it, even though it seems hard. Believe in yourself ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for the video. Over the last few months I've been trying so hard to deny my depression with the hope that I can just ignore it but honestly this video reminded me that it's not something I can ignore. It's so exhausting. Sending you all the love
It is extremely exhausting and I'm so sorry you're going through it. I do hope you reach out to someone and seek the help needed to be able to enjoy life again. Just like we would tend to a headache, or a cavity, or a broken bone, we must tend to our mental health as eagerly. Lots of love your way!
Just found your video and I feel a little less alone. Thank you for this! ❤️
Thank you for this Video! This is exactly what I need right know 💕 I hope you are doing well!
Greetings from Austria 😊
Sending you so much love right now and always. Thank you thank you thank you
thank you so much, sending the same to you my friend
Thank you a million times for this video. Thank you thank you thank youuuuu❤️
"She's having a smoothie! She must be living it up" 😂 You do you , know your own boundaries & respect them. Personally I've found your videos to be really helpful. During depressive episodes they are good for my soul (even if my brain doesn't register the beauty of them) & during healthy episodes I get to enjoy them in all their relaxing, motivating, calming, inspiring glory ✨ Sending you all the positive vibes from Ireland 🍀
Thank you for being so strong
Thank you Nina for chatting about this x
This. is. such. an. important. video. THANK YOU.
Hi Nina, your insight and vulnerability are such blessings. I’m so lucky to have found your channel, I identify with most of what you’re saying. Your videos help me get out of a depressive rut sometimes. I’m thankful for your candid and honest nature 💜✨
Thank you so much, what a lovely comment to read. I'm so glad I can provide some sort of solace, however small it may be. I send lots of love from the Sheraton hotel hehe. I hope we can keep the conversation going x
Nina Montagne I cried at this haha thank you for the reply you gorgeous human 🥰
Thank you for this Nina ❤️ I can relate highly
I send you a big hug!
Thanks for speaking on this! I'm currently quarantining at crown Metropol in Melbourne! I'm with ya girl
ufff! Hope you're doing well and the food isn't too bad! I'm out in a couple of days and I can't wait for some fresh air, fruit and some sun!
❤️
Thank you
I love to think you'll be well out of hotel cuarentena by the time this is posted!!
ua-cam.com/video/_0MvQmOEq0E/v-deo.html
Thank you for this
Community always gets me through depressive episodes, too!!
The first seasons were gold!
Thank you Nina!!
thank YOU! Hope you're well
Thank you for this video Nina and the book recommendation ❤️
I'll definitely be re-reading it this year! It is so incredibly helpful! Lots of love x
Thank you sis.
Thank you
You are actually a ray of light, Nina.
THANK YOU SO MUCH
Lots of love x
Thank you Nina for bringing me a light in dark. You make all my glooming feelings super clear with kindness and empathy. Yes, I do say "I'm sorry for being depressed" to my fellows often. And think I should feel shame on it and realize how weak human being I am, but you somehow lifted me up and brought not sharp strong lights, yet warm and soft embrace. Love you and thank you for making my day.
I'm glad this was of some sort of help. I struggle with the same feelings, almost daily, especially with feeling like I'm weaker than the rest and therefore need to do more things to get myself back to, at least, neutral. It often seems like a lot of work but it has made me a more compassionate person and I'm sure it has done the same for you. I hope you have someone you can reach out to! There should be no shame when it comes to mental illness, but of course that is easier said than done. I shall continue the conversation in hopes we feel as comfortable talking about mental illness as we would a sore tooth or a headache! I send you lots of love, you are not alone my friend
@@nina.montagne Thank you so much for your consideration and kind words...!! You are such a strong super woman for me and everyone. My pain got soothed after I talked with friends last night, yes, your advice was so right! I always appreciate your bravery to share your thought and creation of this community to encourage tons of people including me...xx
I have IBS and depression too, I find it hard due to the bowel pain and the sadness to find friends. I have lost many friends over time because I wasn't able to go outside much and I lost my job and stopped all kinds of activities. I do think connections are very important, but I just don't know how to make new friends again. How did you find or keep friends?
i relate a bit. i also have ibs and depression, and i don't have any friends either. i didn't lose friends because of either illness, i just never really had any, and i just fell out with the friends i did have. but it definitely sucks that i can never seem to make any, especially since it helps to have connections when going through the thick of depression.
You inspired me last year to delete Instagram and it was shocking what difference that had on my mental health... It seems like a small thing to do, but I didn't know that Instagram was the factor which affected/triggered me the most. So thank you so much for that and also for this video!
Oh I'm so glad! Yes social media is such a huge trigger and I often feel we all know this to be true but underestimate the power of actually quitting or drastically reducing our screen time so we never do. Well and I guess we're also addicted haha. As soon as I put my phone down and prioritize reading, BOY OH BOY! The difference! Thank you for watching, I send you a huge hug and hope you're doing well these days : )
I don’t know why I feel depressed since a long time maybe when I was 12 at school till now am 30 and still feeling not loving this life! Tried many times to love it and live it peacefully but all news from all over the world makes me hate this life more day by day and can’t get through it! Do you think it’s related to ulcerative colitis disease?
Thanks for being near to us and talking about this feeling like no other 💕💕💕
You are so great
You have such an AMAZING soul! Bless you 🌈🙏🏼❤️You are so simple, pretty, natural and real... Thank you for sharing all that about mental illness 🙌🏼❤️
Hola Nina . . Se te ve súper linda en este vídeo . . Yo no sufro de depresión, pero si de ansiedad y es muy frustrante a veces ... Espero que no te pase factura esta cuarentena . . Un abrazo !!
never stop making videos❤💗💞

Have you seen the HBO series The Leftovers? Its my all-time favourite show and many people say it's kinda of depressing but actually I feel like it's the opposite bcs as you said when we really dive deep into those feelings it helps so much more than trying to make everyone positive
Ive had depression and anxiety since a teenager. I feel as if its getting worse during lockdown, i lie in bed every night staring into the darkness crying for no reason at all. I forced my friends out of my life, i feel as if i have brought nothing but shame and dissapointment to my family, i had to leave my job as i could not cope anymore and now i have never felt more alone. 😔 Im 24 years old now with no friends, no girlfriend and no life. I think about suicide daily now but the only thing stopping me is my younger brother. I dont want to destroy his life. 😪
thank u
💝

It almost makes me teary
@@nina.montagne you should know that you deserve this so badly and that this is an incredible achievement of connecting compassionate people around the world in order to heal together! :)
18:25 yess 👍👍
Screw apologizing for an illness! No one CHOOSES to be ill in any way. If people cant vibe with that? NEXT!! BIG HUG 💚 over the miles...
Hi Nina,
I am currently doing a hotel quarantine in Tassie 😅 and have just been diagnosed with depression and anxiety a few months ago!
Doing this hotel quarantine is quite difficult with my depression and anxiety.
Do you have any tips to go through it? I have about 10 days left on this quarantine and I am feeling so lonely and restless 🥺
Thankfully I am on anti depressants and it definitely gave me a push and I feel more like myself after being on it!
Hey Nina! Thanks for your words 🙏🏻
Are you still going to upload a conversation with Dane about mental health in your instagram?
I wanted to so badly! Unfortunately there were so many complications because it ended up being an hour conversation and it wouldn't upload. It now seems a little irrelevant as it was so specific to that moment in time. Now that I'm far away from Costa Rican internet I might rope him into doing another live! We really enjoyed making them even though they were so short-lived. Hope you're well!
What is is like to study with your Depression? I really struggle to concentrate and to push myself to learn. Sometimes Its inpossible to write a test for me
I had anxiety for almost 10 years. Sometimes it was okay to go to a small party and sometimes it was impossible to go to a store on the next street. It was pretty bad, multiple panic attacks on daily basic. After many years of looking for cure I went to tibetan doctor who is pretty special I must say. He gave me herbs, did accupuncture, and some other things and after few moths it started to get better. After a year I still had those thoughts but my body wasnt reacting to it so they would drop. After about two years (of taking those herbs) I felt like a different person, my life changed completely. I could freely go on a transatlatinc flight, go to dance classes and use subway (which was a problem before). What I mean is I really wish everyone who struggle with depression or anxiety or both would find something that will cure them. It's not the same thing for everyobdy od course, but everyone deserves to get better and feel like they're alive. Sending hugs!
Depression is maybe like contentment; where as sadness is like happiness?
MunahidFromMars i don't this this is a good comparison
Sometimes life aint fair 😔
I’m depressed
hi
depression is like trying to walk with gum stuck to your shoe.

Why cope with depression when you can heal it??
How
@@fernandadominguez9470 Pranic healing, detoxing with raw vegan foods and herbs (and a good heavy metal detox 'supplement'), unblock meridians, sun, movement, eft, changing the things that brought you there in the first place, no matter if it's a job or certain people or personal choices of living for just about any physical/emotional problem. That's what I'd do to include body and sould in my healing. They're not the only ways but that's what I have concluded to be my tops off of all I've found so far. Try pranic healing first thing, this will lift a great weight off your shoulders very quickly, sometimes since session 1.
She dedinetly does not have depression, and does not seem to understand what it ACTUALLY means, when on the other hand I DO have depression unlike her
Can I ask why you say that? What would you say depression actually is? I’m not judging I just genuinely want to know.
Before this message was sent i was listening to gentle lofi hip hop music to not kill myself so thanks for interrupting that
You should eat some meat and dairy. It will help you, promised!
