To all the Archies - the wise, the caring and the thoughtful, they will always understand your decision. In the meantime, you have to find a reason to survive, a reason to live in the land of no reason, and before long your self will have digested the sadness, confusions and frustrations. And you will have transformed positively too. May mother nature watch over you.
what makes me realise how hard hitting this advert is, is that most viewers though “oh teddies depressed! Thats it! Cause its obvious!” But it never is. Ive been the “archie” i go to work, smile and laugh and act like im walking on fucking sunshine. Because i want to fool myself into being happy. Hoping that if i act it maybe i’ll feel it. So many people said to me “you cant have depression you’re too happy” and its just, my moods became so skewed i would laugh when all i wanted to do was cry. Even now i cant cry infront of someone else. Its impossible for me now. The amount of people who’ve seen me cry i can count on my hands. I tried to take my life three times in 2 years, luckily all failed attempts mind you. Or else i wouldnt be here. But when people hear or learn i suffer from severe mental health problems like clinical depression they are surprised. And as someone with this illness i can say all we ever want. Is someone to listen. So many people take their own lives because noone will help them because everyone in this world is very self involved that it takes a death to shake us and remember that the people in our life are just as important as ourselves. We need to stop letting it get that far and step out of the self contained bubble and truly talk with each other truthfull
Problem is people want to hear stuff which will stimulate their senses like jokes,praises gossips, dresses,fashon,gadgets, technology,money matters,success stories,new purchases.Such people won't be sensitive enough to hear your story of depression. Bcos they are inhabiting a different world altogether. Such people will only be alongside you as long as you are happy and successful.The moment you come under the grip of depression they will ditch you,avoid you, advise you to get over it.
i cried after watching this ad because I act like I'm ok everyday. I put on a fake smile and no one realises that it's just an act I put on.... So this hit so hard 😭😭
As a 33-year-old who has depression as well I know the feeling all too well. But just remember the grass is always green on the other side. There are brighter days ahead. Just because you have a mental illness doesn’t mean you can’t control it. Yeah may be hard but just fight through it. You got this. I believe in you if anybody doesn’t. Edit: for me I don’t need anybody to worry about me, but just to worry about themselves because I got this all squared away. Praise Neptune.
So glad I found this, it touched me. For me it's like whoever thought up this video really gets it. Some say that I'm the most smiley, positive person they know; they have no idea that I've contemplated suicide many times underneath that smile. It's given me a lot of empathy for other people though, and I think that actually keeps me going.
Hope today is a good day for you. I also suffer from mental health problems and it's not very easy to deal with although I have good support from my family
I had an uncle that one day took his life.. would we had known? I dont know.. human nature is so complex. people hide under layers like an onion. I suffer from anxiety due to something that happened to me 8 years ago so now I volunteer with BME communities to raise awareness that we all can support each other. there is nothing wrong with not being ok all the time. we are human after all... thank you for this very strong video
Really great advert. Hammers it home that some of the saddest people appear successful and happy. When people feel they wont be accepted for being anything other than their usual happy self you can feel really isolated
this is a really nice advert I think. I laugh talk smile and all that in school, smile through anybody's bullshit. And the minute i get in my room I just don't have the energy. I've tried to take my life a few times, and my mum caught me once and said i was looking for attention. I was 7 or 8 then, and that feeling still hasn't gotten away. I don't try to take my life anymore but I think about it a lot. I dont even cry anymore just because i do not have the energy to
Hey everyone! I've just happened to stumble across this video as recommended by my own. Within my video for mental health awareness week, I highlight the repetitive cycle of daily living with depression and anxiety. This excellent piece of cinematography precisely mirrors the emptiness that engulfs me as I pace through my own mind finding reasons to have motivation and push beyond the trivial tasks from moment to moment. To all out there who suffer, don't be afraid to open up and express your emotions (in whatever capacity), you are certainly not alone in this fight.
I knew it had that twist at the end where it was Archie (the one that looked happy) would be the one to commit suicide. Moral of the ad is just because someone seems ok doesn’t mean they are because you don’t know and can’t see there inner pain. Some people are so good at hiding stuff.
@@Happyhelper401 well if u want we can talk i wanna make some new frnds who i can relate to... i seen ur channel and i think we bout the same age btw i am not some creepy old dude just in case u think that
Great video! A poignant and skillful piece cleverly highlighting how we often wear a mask in social situations, our lack of communication due to self-absorbtion and the need for interactions around wellbeing to become the norm...
I am an avid #MentalHealthAwareness advocate and spoken word performer, and I love this so much. I travel the country trying to bring that awareness on stages, in classrooms, hospitals, and on my UA-cam channel, so I get excited when I see other advocates. 💙❤
Depression confession -- My personal care goes out the window when I am sinking back into my depressed state. I can drag myself out to do other things if I HAVE to such as doc appointments or whatever.. but I'll be honest.. My drive and motivation left me years ago, and until January this year I hadn't brushed my teeth in about 5 years. reason I know it was that long is because I have manic stages where I'll get hyped about something, inspired and actually do things like wash regularly and take care of my appearance. my teeth for some reason always takes a back seat however there was 1 time I was set on full maintanence, I bought many things for oral hygiene used it for a month then crashed and not used that stuff since.. an electric brush I bought in 2016 and toothpaste I've had on the shelf for those years as well.. Dental floss so old it just breaks when pulled. lol Aside from that you shouldnt know I was depressed and suicidal, you'd just think I'm an unclean person. I honestly love the pandemic for forcing facemasks because It enables me to feel like I am hidden in public. I go outside and shopping more thanks to covid, it sounds bad I know
I suffer with severe depression and I do self harming but never told my parents or my teachers. I don't even see a therapist. I tried taking my life 4 times and ended up in hospital and discharged the same day. My parents didn't even come till I was discharged and told them I felt ill. this is what I go through every day since I was 13, I am now nearly 16.
I knew to stop talking about it to a mate when he said ‘onwards and upwards’ when I was in the middle of talking about feeling depressed etc .. I get the awkwardness that people must feel when somebody hasn’t really experienced it , I just think it’s fear and maybe reminding them of their problems maybe so they just deflect away from it like the conversation isn’t happening possibly. People who are emotionally intelligent and more sensitive are priceless as you feel more of a connection sometimes especially if they have no ego etc. When people take their lives, people always say why didn’t you talk to anyone/ me (I know some are genuine) but people say it as a front, to seem caring when really they are not.. plus you get the people who don’t know what to say etc ..
Its not about looking😢 Sometimes you cant always see the signs of depression. But you can sense something is wrong sometimes. Ask the person. Sometimes They just need someone to listen.
VERY interesting " YES altough DEPRESSION SOMETIMES has An obvious trigger,It often intrudes on a PERSON 'Life WITHOUT Warning' So OUR Life is suddenly darkened by acloud of sadness for no apparent REASON. NOTHING distressing has occured. Yes ,So WE feel dejected and fitness AND NOTHING WILL MAKE the cloud AWAY. We are OVERWHELMED BY FEELINGS OF Despar,and WE DON'T know why'
To everyone depressed, You’re Perfect, And you’re worth it ❤️ There’s a song called “Self Love” By A New Artist, Latroy. That song is going to remind you of how important you are. GO Search “Latroy - Self Love” now, you’ll love it. It saved my life. It can save someone else’s too.
4 bars and I wanted to smash my laptop ... utter drivel annoying waste of youtube space . this Latroy is some sort of expert is he ... doubt it hate these youtube selfhelp noobs
Jaheel Charles That’s nice of you, but depression is a lot more darker than some ‘self love’ song can portray. It’s not a mental illness you can just snap out of.
CryingCloud No one said it was. But if you needed a reminder of your perfection and your worth, the song definitely send that message. Even if it’s nots for you, it’s for someone else.
Love the video, thank you! Haven't found a way to contact you though. I would like to ask for permission to embed your video in my blog (that goes about mental health awareness) ! Please let me know how I can reach you. Much love.
Why is Teddie always looks sad then Is he shy? Social awkward? Also great video Depression always has this stereotype that if ur not sad on the outside and look like ur having a mental breakdown then it isn’t there.
Emo bands Are life it is implying that depression is not always what you think it might be and that anyone can have it regardless of how happy or sad they are. That’s the whole reason of the video, as you think Teddie has depression but actually it’s Archie
Yeah I thought that too. Maybe Teddie has a neurological disorder such as autism or asbergers but is generally happy with life. If you saw the expression on Teddie's face when he was told about Archie killing himself he seemed as though he could not quite comprehend what had happened. Of course, this could also be shock. Great advert though.
Today (jul 6th 2022) it's been a week since one of my neighbours hanged himself his 11 year son found him in the yard, this took me by surprise because he seemed to be the happiest person in the world but he was crying inside and nobody knew not even his children not even his wife.
Why is suicide so frowned upon? People kill each other everyday people die everyday.. so if people don't want to exist it's too painful and suffering with anxiety and depression is.. why the big deal?
This video makes a very good point the signs aren't always right in front of your face someone could appear to be the happiest person in the world and that's their mask. ( Side note only thing I don't understand about this video is someone could please explain I'd appreciate it why was he blowing the horn at him everyday? )
My sister also committed suicide. After a few months I wrote to Osho ashram about spending rest of my life there but got no reply.I had lost faith in our Healthcare system which is biased against mental health. Mental Healthcare just doesn't exist in our politicians dictionary.
People cut of their family friends closer ones specially drift away from god in easy times but when the times become hard they seek stability through therapy
heavy , but this for awareness symptoms , as the magnetic s of the sun shift every 11 years the misunderstanding of thoughts of love or hate may be shifting to the upside down and inside-out symptoms too much thinking and unresponsive behaviors even two years to three years apart in age to why children are not akin to their parents and rebel more so to family order as we would be born to differing magnetic reactions that all the cells and fluids would have to grow us and we respond to. Break the cycle be your word and bring your own hello and hi back , and try to be aware that this may be the only reason and birth the second cycle to belong to the same poles we might even beat the awareness and misunderstandings that cause isolation. Love yas D
thing that gripes me about this though... the UK is USELESS when it comes to mental health...No surprised more men take their lives here though, constant anti-male crap on tv and the fact mental health teams are reluctant to actually give men support.
yes, exactly this. You don't have to look sad, to be depressed or to be suicidal.
sometimes it's hard to tell
