I think the cameras represent how it feels like people are always watching you.
I hate when people just stare at me I turn bright red.. I hate it but I'm trying to work on it😁
Yeah, with my anxiety I constantly fear of people looking at me, even just glancing at me and it terrifies me
StahpICoulda DroppedMahCroissant Kind of the same.
I personally freaked out when the cameras we're watching the player. I just felt my anxiety kick in like "CAN IT SEE ME?! no... It's a game.. Jack's playing. Not me." I had to remind myself the game wasn't watching me 😂😂
I'm always paranoid people are looking at me. Most of the time I have my face covered so people don't see me.
JACK THAT WASNT THE END, the game wanted you to think it was over, it got you to quit, it made you think you won, it got you to believe there was no meaning without experiencing the meaning, there was more to it, he should know this
echoing this because he need some to know, Jack you need to play the game a second time until the end, and then once you start playing a third time it will lead you towards the true ending!
what is the end then?
its hard to try without experiencig was leard thi hard ?
bump
Lets just hope he saw this
“What if I don’t pass this? What if I get stuck here forever?” “I was almost there!”-Jacksepticeye.
This level is simulating trying to “recover” from depression. It’s hard, and one wrong step can easily set you back to the beginning. The dev really captured that well. You can’t always see the way, but you keep trying anyway, and sometimes you may give up. At times it seems there’s no point because you will always fall down again. But eventually you will get back up. Unlike the game, depression doesn’t necessarily have an end, but perseverance doesn’t have to either.
The cameras were a nice touch because, with anxiety, the feeling of being watched constantly is just too real.
Yeah the moment there was camera I’m like, oh shit-
Sarah Russell fr, the feeling of being watched gets worse for me everyday
Yeah those cameras made me really uncomfy
Sarah brooooo I thought I was just weird
That's why i always felt like i was being watched....
All the things he was saying around 16:00
“It’s so fucking dark”
“I can’t even see where I came from”
That’s exactly what you’re meant to be thinking, he was saying that in context of the game, not even realising the other way that they could be taken
Jack theres more to the game, you need to launch it up again, you can play it 2 more times. Also it will leave stuff on your desktop. And if you do happen to play it again keep following the light. Thats all im gonna say.
Yay Jack noticed!!!
hMMm. REMINDS ME OF ONE SHOTTTTT💔💡
you just liked that now jack
Wooo!
I hope he does play it again, that would be very interesting.
Imagine how terrifying this game would be in VR...
Don't give em ideas lmfao. Nah it would be a super powerful one ti say the least
@@joshsg6525 Yeah. So powerful that could break someone.
We have that already... It's called real life depression. 😕
@@joshsg6525 Got that already. Social anxety check 😗👌
this would be very possible to put into vrchat
"Don't cry for help, unless there is help to cry for"
I hate the feeling of whenever I do something and someone starts giggling or whispering, it always makes me feel like I'm the reason why they are. I hate being judged or being not being welcome, I hate when I feel alone, when I surrounded by people.
Im the exact same. No matter what else happens in the room, the people are always laughing at me
Hey. Both of you. And others reading.
I know it's been a while but:
Don't worry. Chances are, they're NOT laughing at you. This probably won't be any help, but just know that there will always be the little attention seeking peeps who are lacking in optimism themselves, but there are also really good people who are there for you every single step.
Remember that it is okay to feel down sometimes, but don't let it drag you down.
Keep the optimism up 🙃
I always feel like when people are talking their talking about me . I'm having a anxiety attack
I am one of those types of people
Hmmm, actually in my experience, especially in my friends is if I get laughed on is more of a funny reaction to you. I mean it's a reaction you don't to take it seriously, and just laugh with them :)
This game is amazing, it represents depression, anxiety, and social anxiety very well. This person deserves and award.
I wonder if the person who made it has these things and that’s where they draw it from,
Sexy Hedgehog I don’t really think anyone who doesn’t have these things could know how to simulate it
Kali Carr yeah that’s what I was thinking
An* award
@Mi’Angel Harris I have been depressed since I was eight...
"cant get to close to people, got to stay introverted"
never related that much to anything before
TeamAtFort there’s a difference between introverted and socially anxious
@@ilovetweek000 i know and im pretty sure im both
Adolf Hitler hello there adolf how is it being dead
I love how positively Sean reacted to the follow the light bit. My depressed ass just saw it as an anxiety ridden walk in the dark. The struggle to see the light at all and having to basically hug the edge where you might fall just to see it was too real. 🙃
yeah same it kinda hit me when he saw it like that lol
Yeah for real. I saw it as you see the light at first but it quickly becomes seemingly impossible to find the light after a short time
I saw it as "follow the light" meaning it wants you to follow to the edge and jump off :/
The light is always there, but you can't see it. So you have to trust yourself.
The reason why the warning at the beginning says "do not play if you have severe depression or anxiety" is because this is exactly what it is like for people who have those disorders. An in-depth analysis is below.
1.) The clocks represent never having enough time, always needing to go-go-go otherwise people will think you're lazy or you won't get anything done that you need/want to get done. Jack's theory of people "not having time for you" could also be correct, although the ticking of the clock in the background doesn't really support this. People with anxiety (not just creators) often feel pressure when given the illusion of having a "ticking-clock" and even the threat of one (such as the in-game ticking noise) can hype someone's anxiety astronomically high. The task where he had to find the clocks represents how people are often told to "find time" for things -- schoolwork, relationships, even something as simple as eating.
2.) The "shadow-people" are the people who you don't know and who you look at every day. People with anxiety or depression often get social paranoia where they think everyone is looking at them and judging them negatively all the time, despite having no proof. The same symbolism is in the cameras, except it's on a much larger scale (as in, the entire world could be watching you and hating you and you'd never know). Because of this fear of judgment, it makes it really scary to approach people or even just get close to them. What if they think your hair is gross? Or that you smell? When the person at the door ( 38:18 ) asked why he was so scared, it's not just because the person appears scary in the game. It's because people with social anxiety will often appear frightened when approaching another person and it's very likely that that person might ask that, which only deepens the cycle of "they think I'm weird," "I can't do this," and "what was I thinking?"
3.) The light and darkness is quite cliche, but this game puts a unique twist on it. Of course, "the light will lead you out of the dark" concept is still there, but the game gives the image that you can't see the light until you're on the edge/falling to oblivion. There's also the concept that you won't always have that light to guide you. Some days, you'll just be stuck in the darkness, searching for a way out when it seems like the only way out is falling to the darkness. And then, if/when you do decide to give and jump into the darkness, a little glimmer of light comes. But it's too late.
4.) The underwater scene ( 42:47 ) is so similar to a panic attack, it's almost like I am reliving one. When having a panic attack, it makes it so hard to just b r e a t h e, and everyone is asking you why you can't. But you have no answer. One of the things that I learned in therapy for this problem is to breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth. While I do this, focusing on only my breath and ignoring any outside influence, I listen to my heartbeat to make sure it's slowing down so that I can get enough oxygen. This is simulated by the parkour (43:05), in which it sounds so similar to a heartbeat. The symbolism strikes again!
5.) Oh. My. God. The Safe Place. I'm sure this concept is not new to many people, even those who haven't been in therapy, but this game once again takes it to a whole new (and may I add, more realistic) level. Because everyone has their safe place, their place of peace. The spot where they let their guard down and find that moment of serenity in themselves. But it doesn't take much for that place to corrupted -- if it's a physical place, it could become filled with other people or destroyed, and if it's mental, then all it takes is one moment of anger or one moment of doubt to shatter it completely.
6.) The "ending" is AMAZING. The power of choice is amazingly portrayed. The player is brought back to that familiar place, that place where they've been brought countless times and known to be safe, just to be given a choice, the choice to end it, one way or another. A player who has only seen that message of "follow the light" may see the noose, see the light and escape that it provides, and choose that. But a player that has been paying attention, a person who does not desire to simply "escape" may look back at all they've done and all they've gotten through... that person will find the other way. The way that might not be easy. The way that has been there throughout their entire life, but they just couldn't do it, just wouldn't do it. They will see that way, and choose it instead.
In summary, this game does have a lot of meaning. And to me, it's not just a game. It's an experience, an entire explanation for the things that I cannot put into words. And it is because this hits so close to home, that I will play it once, but never again.
EDIT: Coming back to revisit this video, I only just remembered that I made this comment. I am so grateful that so many people took the time to listen in and share their experiences, and I have grown so much love for this outstanding community of people. I want all of you reading this to know that I believe in all of you and will send good thoughts and wishes your way! But that being said, I would also like to take some time to apologize. In this comment, I now realize that I made a lot of unhealthy generalizations based upon my own, singular experience. This was not intentional. I will not change anything I said because I do not wish to corrupt what I was originally thinking with negative reflections of my own writing. Instead, I would like to keep this comment pure. If you have any concerns or experiences you'd like to add, I'd be more than happy to read what you have to say. I am doing my best to reply to the more urgent comments, but UA-cam has stopped sending me notifications when I get a new reply so it might take me a while. Best wishes to you all, my friends!
damn
I felt everything you’ve just said ☹️
I have the feeling of the shadow peoples. Like im thinking people
Looking at me are judging me for
My looks and Style and every thing they see in me. But they are just misjudging
A simple person who doesnt want anything about his life but happiness
- M4gnix - I feel the exact same thing...
Sarah Gorman I feel that all that
I struggle with EXTREME anxiety, depression, self-harm, and i have had suicidal thoughts. Even so, I continued to watch the video thinking that it would be a harmless horror game, or have small illusions to what it feels like to have anxetiy... I couldn't have been more wrong. From the first question, and the "No, you didn't mean that." I knew I was in for it, but I kept watching. EVERYTHING hit so cloes to home on SO MANY levels. It was getting to me, and when Sean mentioned the Nuke being a bit much. I thought "But it's not, thats EXACTLY what it feels like. All you want to do is run and hide and everything is just blowing up around you, everything is chrashing down on you." I know, because I've felt like that before, many times, and in a full blown panic attack, it really does feel like a nuke just went off in your backyard. Then he ran from the black hole, and the tears started pouring. From then on I was crying and I felt so awful... but then he chose the phone. And that after message started playing, and the real water works began... i was bawling like a baby. It hit me so hard. And THEN Sean went on about the game, and how you can always choose the meaning of your life. All that matters is that your exsisting,walking on a path..... I'm glad I watched it to the end. I needed to hear that. So, if your reading this.... Thank you, thank you, thank you THANK YOU SEAN and God bless you. If we ever meet I'm going to give you the biggest hug ever! And if your not Sean, then thank you for taking time to read this, even if you don't care. God bless you to.
This game made me even more suicidal but when I watched the true ending it made me feel relaxed and I feel like I finally had peace. I don't want to play this game because I think I might end up killing myself before I get the true ending.. but I only recommend to watch the ending because I tried to finish watching the 2nd run of this game and it's more painful to watch. It shows more painful messages that hits me so bad. But it gave me a lesson. That despite all of these you'll learn so many life lessons at the end. This game is a life changing game and I'm so glad that my friend recommended me to check this out since he knew that I'm suffering from depression.
If my English is bad, sorry I'm asian . :Pp
I know how this feels too an i reacted the same way. As soon as the phone started ringing at the end and he went all the way over to the chair before turning around.... hit way too close to home.
Anyone who doesn't believe you are depressed is pure stupid, or just haven't felt depressed...
I mean seriously there's people out there having the time of their lives, then there is people who feel like nothing they do matters... I am one of those people... I hide behind a smile at home and at school but when I go to a friends house... Well let's not get into that. School is horrible! Bullies, stress, and that feeling when you get an f and everyone else got an a... You know the feeling most likely! The one where you feel like nothing could go right in your life and everyone thinks your stupid.... If you don't get that then... Well... I'm sorry for wasting your time...
@@daryissaplayz2312 I do get it. Maybe not in the same way, but I've felt it before, and it hurts. And you didn't waste my time. I hope things start looking up for you, and may God bless you.
I love how jack still has the broken light in the back 😂
I just noticed that R.I.P blue lamp
He does?! Oh right he does 😂😂
GOOOOOOOORRRRRNNNNNNN
He's a classic boi
Oh, I didn't even notice at first!
"Don't play this game if suffer from depression or anxiety"
Me, someone who has that and paranoid schizophrenia: YESSS
omgggg, i hope you made it though the video okay dude. my brother is also a paranoid schizophrenic
@@traumasaurus I did. It's something that I would like to play myself actually. Hope your brother is doing good!
Oh shit, how was it?
The market scene gets me. I get so stressed and I don't look at people in the eye. Only look at their body image, not the face. I feel lile people are looking at me all the time, which is not always.
That scene and the scene where he’s underwater and can’t get out made me feel like I was trapped, made me panic. What a great game
I don't. If they look funny at me i just stare at them until they're too creeped out to look or just try beating me up (which the police would have a fun time hearing): "He beat me up cuz i creepily looked at him"
i played the game until i couldn't and the market was probably the second scariest part in the game well as much as i played
I felt so anxious when that scene happened, my hands began to shake and even though I wasn’t playing the game I felt like they were watching me. That happens usually and it’s so horrible
I hope you guys are alright. Anxiety is difficult and u can feel alone at times. Each of us suffer differently and it's important to have people who can understand. Thanks to Sean for playing the game for us, I never could have played it like most of u guys.
"you're gonna fall again' I cannot even begin to describe how accurate that feeling is. Knowing you need help but the fear of falling back into the abyss completely engulfing you. The fear of becoming depressed again after you get help. I still have that fear to this day, even knowing I took my medication, there is still that fear. I hope it goes away some day but it hasnt yet
I see the bassssssy
Lol, anxiety,ADHD, depression, and really high stress, all unmedicated 😅😄😀🙂🙁☹️😭
It will one day... maybe not today or tomorrow... but one day... you just gotta work towards it... and believe it will happen
It's okay to be scared. It's okay to not be the best or to be sad.
You don't have to be at your 100% all the time.
Please take care of yourself and take it easy on yourself when you feel sad. You are special in your own little ways and albeit I am a stranger, you are important.
just want to know whats it like when you have deppresion?
_"If you suffer from depression or anxiety, seriously, do NOT play and leave now."_
*_No, I think it'll continue watching._*
I was like “Uh oh...”
And then I was like “Oopsie!”
Holy crap I started sweating dude
I realized I probably should pay attention to warnings on screen titles
@@popcornpal same
Lol, yep, I have both.
The warning: don’t play if you have depression or anxiety!
Me: *it’s not diagnosed*
same 💀💀
"Jokes on you, I'm already dead fool! I don't have either of those!"
kinda same. i only got part ways into a diagnosis! :D time to watch this
Ikr💀
im not allowed to get diagnosed guess ill watch this video instead
symbolism: *exists*
jack: "symbology"
I love how he changes the depressing symbolism of the light into a positive message. The game was saying "everyone says to follow the light. But I see no light.". But Sean was changing it to "there is always a light"
PMA, remember? :)
oh wow, i think that’s really interesting. because that is kind of how it feels sometimes, that there is no light even though everyone says there is. but jack is saying that there’s always light even if you can’t see it. that’s really cool
My interpretation was “as long as there’s no light, I’m safe. I can’t fall if there’s no light”
Game/jack: don’t watch if you have depression or anxiety
Me: I’m still gonna watch it
^
True haha
Me with ptsd depression anxiety I meannnn it’s an hour long I can’t not watch it
Same
Let's gamble
i watched to see if the game pinpointed it correctly
Having anxiety and depression is like having a curse. The feelings you can’t get rid off, the voice in your head constantly telling you untrue things. The fear of being around people and the voice telling you that their judging you because they know you’re “different” This is so accurate. I’ve been feeling this way for awhile. I forced myself to go out with a few friends the other day and I had a huge panic/anxiety attack. As much as I needed to be around my friends to curb my depression, it did a huge number on my anxiety.
Well put. As someone getting a lot better, keep fighting, it gets better!
Keep fighting! We're here for you if you need us
Ik its horibel trust me
I relate
So true girl! Know that I am cheering for you! Mayebe try to have a girls night in?
You know the gameplay is serious when jack doesn’t do his intro...
I didn't realize that until now....
Or his outro
I rarely saw his intro lately :(
demonitization is watching him over his shoulder
Zoe Graziano maybe you can try to be like that then? Because then you can be happy with yourself

Wow edgy
17:55 "even in your darkest times there's some glimmer of light to guide you"
Thats how a non-depressed person views that symbolism, for me the message was very different, "you can either stay in place and never progress, you can go blind embracing the darkness and fall eventually, or you thread that very thin line between falling trying to see the light or getting lost again".
I don't know if "healthy" people will get this, but i bet that any person who struggled with depression understands what i'm saying.
Btw the market bit, amazing, i've felt that exact same way many many times.
This developer.... he knows.
Paulo Mangano completely agree.
It was really interesting to hear jacks interpretation.. I didn’t interpret it the same way at all. The market bit was too real!
Shit guys you good I have depression and I didn't even look at it that way
shit yeah i‘m so glad it‘s summer now because that does affect me a bit (UV rays)
i feel like everyone says to follow the light, and keep going but you cant always see the light, and sometimes youre just searching for it in the c o m p l e t e darkness while everyone thinks theyre helping you by telling you to look for it. but i just cant see it im trying but i cant.
I understand bc I have depression and just opened up about it 2 weeks ago...
"I can't really see anything - so dark." Welcome to depression.
I appreciate you're punctchuashon
🤢
If i don't see anything i just turn on my comedy flashlight
Ah this hit so hard.
My life.
his interpretations of each level sound much more optimistic than mine
like the dark bridge - "no matter how dark things are, there's always a glimmer of light! that's a good message."
but to me it seems like an illustration of how impossible it is to keep going forward when the light is obscured by the darkness of even the bridge itself
And yet, it was not impossible, because he made it 🤍
"I am an optimist, a hoper of far-flung hopes and dreamer of improbable dreams"
Well to me, it's like
People keep telling you to follow the light, but you're already on this dark path.
You can see glimmers of light next to you.
You think they're guiding you but they're not. You're trying to follow that path but you can't because you can't.
Because your dark path won't let you.
Because the moment you do try to follow that "good light" you fall. You fail.
And then you have to start over again on that same dark path once more.
and when he said "oh god if I fall do I have to redo all this?" yes.. that's the point, it's so hard to hold onto that light and when you fall, you get completely set back, which makes you more and more de-motivated to try each time you do fall, even if you can see the light anew right infront of you, it feels like it's not worth it, you lost it before, didn't you? Whos to say you'll make it this time? each failed attempt pushing you closer to wanting to end it
I interpreted it as you knowing that you can do good and have a light path but you just can't because the darkness is in the way
Jack: quiet suspense

Hey Sean, I was very hesitant to comment on your video because I usually don’t, but I felt like I needed to comment this time. I love your videos and wanted to give back to you, so I might as well give you my personal life experience. I hope this helps you, or if not, I hope it helps someone else.
I personally have been dealing with depression for a year and tried to commit suicide a couple of months ago. I was diagnosed with major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety. Medication isn’t helping me and therapy is not solving my problem. Usually, it does help many people, but not for me. I think the reason is that depression is different from everyone and the solutions for it are different. I wanted to be fulfilled. I agree when you talk about how happiness is different for everyone and so is fulfillment.
Now, I am learning from people who have gone through hardships and made it. I want to share a quote from one of those people.
It's not very positive, but I agree with it.
“Life isn’t fair and it’s not to be. Life is not bias to anyone. It doesn’t matter if you’re black or white, gay or lesbian, rich or poor, life doesn’t discriminate. Once you accept the fact life is going to fuck you up in one way or another, you can start preparing for it. The right mindset is everything. It’s the only thing that would get you through life.” - David Goggins
John Sridaoduan I’m glad that you’re here and sharing your story. I love that quote because it’s so true.
I was on medication for a long time for depression and anxiety but neither did anything to me. After I stopped taking them, I felt like a dog was lifted from my brain. I still have issues with both, but meds didn’t work. I’ve been lucky to find myself surrounded by people who love me and really care about me. If it wasn’t for those people & this community, I’m not sure where I’d be.
Life is a beautiful mess and it’s not fair and owes you nothing. It’s about how you face the shit parts.
Well done for recovering and becoming happier
John Sridaoduan this took me a long time to read lol
Mah name Jeff.
Honestly, I was going through a period of depression today that I haven't felt in a LONG while. I really needed to hear that. Thanks for waking me up.
*has social anxiety*
me:ilL Be FINe
also me: gets anxious 3 minutes into the damn video
this is so important for people without forms of anxiety and depression to hear. this whole gameplay. having social anxiety, you always say no. you don’t want to bother anyone so you say no. you don’t want to be wrong so you agree with everyone else. it is what it is. thank you for this jack. thank you.
Same, when anyone wants to see me or anything I say no I don't like bothering people and I feel like they going to judge me and I feel like having a panic attack then I get depressed that I didn't go
Me too
That's exactly how it is for me. But it always feels like people are watching me. Judging my every move.
I kinda have social anxiety. I say kinda cuz I've been breaking away from it recently. I know in a couple months when I start high school it's gonna flare up again, lol.
@@theoretically857 I get bullied a lot so I'm never getting over it until I'm done with highschool.......
This experience on VR would be an absolute beauty.
No it would be scary as fuck
Pablo Valeiro you could watch it in VR tho
Sounds horrifying
Yesh
I'd love to experience that!!!
I have depression and social anxiety and I can tell you that this was damn accurate. The breathe scene with the jumping was just amazing. I could feel how my breathing slows and changes when I have to recover from a panic attack. The last scene was also so reminiscent of when I decided to go to hospital. I also love the scene with the dark path lined with light where the light would disappear every now and then. That's what it's like. Sometimes it's complete darkness and hopelessness. Other times, it's lighter. Things seem possible again. It does go up and down, but the lights get brighter and bigger while you recover.
I know there was a trigger warning and I did get triggered, but it was so beautiful and meaningful. I really like that this exists
I appreciate how the game shows the development of anxiety, as it starts from stress and eventually develops into a realisation of life is objectively meaningless, which I think the creator actually developed existential death anxiety. That display of the idea of the insignificance and emptiness of one’s existence thru the wide silent space is indeed very accurate, for what an anxious person would perceive, or feel nauseated as suggested by Sarte in his book, which could possibly drive the person to suicide.
The creator is very observant. He did a great job. And I am very glad that he has got rid of his anxiety now.
I fint it comforting that life has no purpose, that I can't predict tomorrow, and that I'm just a drop in the water. It makes me feel in control of my life, I shouldn't have to stay on a path I haven't made a decision to choose. I can chose my own, and I find it exciting that I can just let my life play out, not knowing what's to come. Make the best of life, even if it is essentially "meaningless"
I’m just starting anxiety...

Sounds like a paroxysm.
@Michael Luzier this comment is really heartwarming for me. I got to say I really appreciate you for understanding and making the connection to drowning, unlike most people I've met. To anyone else reading, this video does not really dramatize any of these situations or whatever you want to call them, this is exactly how it feels (in different levels) to most people going through this kind of stuff EVERY DAY.
Yep
@Michael Luzier it's people like you who keeps people like me goin
Coming back to watch this with two years of healing and recovering and learning under my belt now it feels so strange but good and reflective to watch this again, still such a fantastic game and video I’m glad I rewatched it
who else felt like they were drowning in the underwater part?
*don’t forget to breathe*
I sorta felt like I was being smothered or the air was just getting more thick
peachy surprisingly that’s the only one where I felt okay. It’s was a pretty blue and I found it kind of calming despite being so empty. Everything else however. Really made me tense...
I legit started to have problems breathing, and started to freak out
Oh same
I mean I thought of it two ways one part of me felt it being calm but empty at the same time the other part made me feel like I was sinking
As someone with major anxiety and depression alot of the messages that jack got i saw in a different light
Kailee McGuire
Yeah. Like the “let the light guide you” on the long path, Jack took it as “even in your darkest times there’s still a flicker of light” but I took it as “they say the light will be there to guide you, but sometimes all there is is the dark.”
I noticed that you only saw the light when you were on the edge. But I also noticed you only REALLY saw the light when you were falling. Like, even if you see the light, it will be too late, you’ll never reach it
We can't really blame him since it's not like it's easy to comprehend what we feel like even for us people with anxiety or depression. It is nice that he seems to be really trying and does understand the basics of what it's like though.
I generally got the impression that you'll chase after glimpses of the light, and might make a lot of progress, therefore the desire to not fall gets higher and higher, but eventually you'll fall off trying to see all of it. You get happy, see some good things, but you'll only ever taste a flicker, and see what you missed when you inevitably fall back, restarting the cycle.
agreed omg

*Friendly reminder* not everyone's depression/anxiety is the same, and just because someone's is different than yours, doesn't make their feelings irrelevant. Stay kind ♡
Thank you for pointing that out.
I’ve had my mom say she had depression, so that I should get over mine. That’s not how depression works
More people like u need to exist
alot of people think that everyone has the same type of anxiety and thats comepleate BS
My depression manifested in visual hallucinations(characters from my favorite video game KH2). To make things worst is that I would see them out of the corner of my eye... good news is that I’ve been off my anti depressants for almost a decade and a half now. But depression is always there. It’s a constant battle.

You matter. You are important.. so important. Trust me. There are people out there who really want to be there by your side
Sean’s speech at the end was exactly what i needed to hear. Thank you❤️
Fun fact:
Students in a secondary school in 2015 were found to have the same level of anxiety as 1970s psychiatric patients, and yet they were carrying on like nothing
Really says a lot about todays mentality if you think about it
Apologies to those asking for proof. I was told this information by a friend and therefore have no scource, nor can I find one. I believe this information to be true as i trust my friend but I understand if you do not, and sorry for not revealing this earlier
oh damn.. dude thats tragic. imagine 2020
Can you share a source?
Really says a lot about our society
We've been raised to just live with anxiety and depression, it's just a part of life at this point. The fact that many of us don't acknowledge it, in almost any way, really says how the younger generation has been raised.
@JackOfSpades The burden of proof lies on the person making the claim
“They are all staring at me and whispering about me”
“This isn’t the right direction, you shouldn’t be here”
“Left not right can’t you read?”
“Leave me alone”
*i have had enough of you*
Shit I felt that
That hit too close to home, I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a genuine representation of what social anxiety feels like. Watching that level, it was suffocating, and honestly it captures the feeling and the loneliness so well it’s almost scary.
@@_cheynapple_9939 I get like that with everyone I know, even my best friends I still sit there and think they all fucking hate me, of course I go through cycles of oh its okay to oh its not. And just all of that is just really hitting home as well

@@flyingtoons2703 oh блять. Stop it your scaring me!
Flyingtoons AHHHHHHH
I don’t think I could of ever experienced this game by myself. Thank you for your commentary and your thoughts. Your videos have been helpful over the years. The laughs, the tears during play through, getting scared at the same points in games, etc. I’m glad that I found your channel. I appreciate you Sean 😁
In the mannequin section, seeing the choice, or knowing that it is there, yet not being able to say it seems really accurate to me. Whenever I am in a conversation I spend half of my thoughts trying to convince myself to tell people that I'm not feeling good and that I could use someone to vent to
unfortunately, other humans are unpredictable and often have their own shit to deal with. your friends and family may want to help but not have the mental/emotional capacity to do so because they could be distracted or drowning too, or they just aren't capable/don't understand how to listen and support. but there are people who study human emotions and stuff and make it their life's calling to listen to and help people who are going through shit. going to seek professional help doesn't make you weak; you are just using a support system that we as a society have developed for those among us who need a little boost and a different perspective.
I actually have never felt so represented in a game before, I love this, it really makes me feel like I’m not alone
Astyn Smart your not
don't worry, you will never be alone. Hope will always be there. Always.
Your no alone
Same
Same tbh!
You've managed to make me cry, once again.
every bit of the last 10-20 minutes of this video is everything I have been needing to hear, lately. That's what I like about you. You have created a sort of safe space where people can come and escape personal situations, have a laugh at all of your jokes and puns, or a jump scare, go deep into thought and have a good ol' therapy/pep talk session at the end, that you have humbly provided.
A very wise man, you are.
Keep doing what you do! You make a huge impact, whether you now it or not!
As a person with Depression and anxiety when it said "dont play if you have depression or anxiety" i just wanted to play it more . I didn't think it would impact me at all because all my life all I've done is suck it up, walk it off, and hide it but somewhere through it i started crying. I got so scared that I by the end the top of my shirt was tear soaked and I was in the ball/fetal position.. but at the same time.. I'm glad I DID watch it
WetSock then why did you fucking watch? It clearly said that if you have depression or anxiety, "DO NOT PLAY" but nooooo, you had to watch the video. Also, please explain the symptoms for anxiety attacks. Because you claim you just had one, so you probably can tell me everything about it.
despite my fragile mental conditions i'm glad i watched this. it was an eye opener for those without such experiences and an element of understanding for those of us that have such problems. it was an accurate representation of the illnesses and i want the to complement the developer for diving into such a dark topic.
I get what you mean, hope you're well.
thank you for all your replies. yes I am fine now and I understand my mental illness more than ever now
“If you have anxiety, do NOT play and leave now” Me : *has anxiety* “Ah, I’ll be FiNe”
same
Well I also thought that, but rn while watching it, the game gives me anxiety and some panic
well , were you okay when you watched it?
I have stress issues , and the part where it was a loop and small spaces stressed me out like shit 😭😭
I was not fine. i started watching thinking ill leave if its too much. nope. i stayed. I wish id never watched this now. started to fucking bawl my eyes out. Its strange to see jack just gloss over things that i react so strongly to.
I'm only about 5 minutes in and I'm already feeling weird, let's see how it goes until the end.
Edit: At 25:02 I'm feeling anxious, and to make things worse, my ex-boyfriend (whom I still love and care for) was diagnosed with anxiety, OCD and he frequently has suicidal thoughts. It's as if I can feel his pain and my loneliness at the same time
"Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times if one only remembers to turn on the light."
~ Proffesor Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore
Thank you for that great quote, XxImGayMyGuyxX
Muggles will never understand
Sometimes people don’t realize a light is there, and think their only choice is to stay in the dark.
Sometimes the light switch is so far away it feels like it doesn't exist anymore
Oh I love this. We need people like Dumbledore in this world
I ended up stopping this video 45 minutes in. I'm on meds and haven't large panic attack in years and thought playing a game and just listening and occasionally glancing at the screen would be okay, since I normally can handle games I wouldn't play myself when Jack plays them. I was curious as to how someone else interprets/experiences anxiety and depression. I kept brushing relatable things off as like, "wow, yeah I totally get that" and the non-relatable things as "see, the game isn't so bad, I don't really relate to that." It wasn't until 45 minutes in that I realized my hands were shaking and my head was racing and that paranoid part of my brain was getting worked up. Take heed of the warning and take care of yourself. Jack, I love how you empathized with people who experience these feelings. It really encourages me when people make effort to understand.
judging by the comments, you haven't finished the game yet, they say that the game just wanted you to think that its over and then made you quit, idk what they R talking 'bout but maybe you should go in the game again and mess around a little so you can find the real ending. (???) PS : The piano reminds me of RE : Zero-s music AND Thank you everyone for reading this comment
Edit: OK don't just mess around, play it 2 or 3 more times to get the real ending.(???????) just try it out please people are saying it all over the comments and there's even this one guy Ederborg 4971 who says that he will comment 1000 times more just so you can see what he says(he's saying same as I am, telling you to play again and again for the real ending)AND people pls like so sean can see.This is important!!! PS(again) THX for reading and don't forget to like(not asking that for myself, i'm saying that for sean so he can see this)!!!
sus
I know most don’t understand and to just see this, it makes me feel like maybe I could find someone who understands, someone who can help, either way... I understood every bit of this and I cried so much, I hate my art and hate everything I do, I can’t get out of my own brain and it feels like I’m trapped, I have major depression and social anxiety, really just anxiety in a whole, I feel like everyone is staring at me and I’m always being judged, but alas, I keep trying to go on, I keep living, at one point I swallowed some pills and my mom found out and had me throw up, though... I’m alive still, I’m still just as bad but I’m fighting, I’m trying my best to get my GED and I’m looking for a job, I just hope this game helps people understand at least, but jack! You help me so much, the pma saying helps, I try my best and try to think positive, if anyone actually read this, thank you..
I know what you mean and I know no amount of "it'll be OK" will ever be enough just know that your enough, what you create is amazing and your not alone, and ik no matter how many times you hear it you'll down talk it to yourself, but I hope one day you see it too, have a great...Forever!
Amber_Da _Gamer You. Will. Make. It. From one Jacksepticeye fan to another, I believe in you
I can understand that feeling of hating everything you do. Whenever someone tells me something I made was good I don't know how to take the compliment. I have a chronic case of imposter syndrome. I hope you get all that you want and know people are here to listen; complete strangers are hear to help.
Never quit the fight. Find something to latch onto, even if it’s just for the day. I currently don’t know where the hell I am or what the hell I’m doing. I have a degree in a field I’m not working in, I’m 5 hours away from most of my friends and family. The nearest I have is three hours away. It sucks. A lot. I honestly don’t know how I’m still going, but I always find a way. You can too. It’s not easy...at all. But it’s possible. Keep your head above the water. None of us may know you, but you’re part of the Jacksepticeye family, and we all love you.
Amber_Da _Gamer You are you and no one can take that away. You may not notice how special you are, but we can.
You may think everyone's staring at you, but, it's just cause you're so beautiful :)
my sisters both have/had depression, one got through the other one is still in it, when they told me “I genuinely hate myself” I thought it was so simple “just ignore it and tell yourself you are awesome, easy” but seeing this opens my eyes to how they actually think/thought and i feel terrible for them
I think Jack sometimes forgets that his name isn’t actually Jack.

@@squishy5977 ikr
Hell my anxitey caught up to me so quick I started getting anxious with the begining and the fact the cameras were following the player
Gosh that part about social anxiety and how getting too close to people and how they all seemed scary and faceless is legit how I feel every day of my life that I have to go out and be social. It's terrible and I hate it so much, it didn't cause me to have any physical reaction seeing it represented so well but it's nice to see that it was actually represented well.
Hell, a lot of the aspects in this game that represent anxiety and depression are pretty accurate. At least to my own personal experience, everyone is different though.
Luke I have social anxiety too mate I played the game while streaming and that part literally gave me an attack it was terrible and so relatable it was like a extended nightmare about my reality if you experience the game for yourself
To a certain level I've experienced that too bro.
I have anxiety and depression and cut my arms everyday, I'm in year 7 its horrible... Rep well tho...
I had an anxiety attack when I saw that part bcoz it was sooooo real
@Kelly M hateful or something else
Being someone who knows how this all feels, it was very, very accurate in just how every situation felt. How you couldn’t answer how you really wanted, you were constantly being pressed for something, he didn’t understand and kept pressing you, there were always eyes on you, no matter what you did it was wrong. The light, the glimpses of light, the overwhelming darkness, everything portrays this how I can’t even begin to put into words. And overall, the confusion of everything he was saying and what was happening, you were just dropped into this thing, it’s just amazing.
I haven't experienced it to quite the level in this game, but I do understand that the game is amazingly accurate
Couldn’t agree more I suffer mainly from severe social anxiety and the way all the people were portrayed as ghosts or shadows was amazing and very real. Also all the doubtful comments on the walls all over the game was brilliant. I find it hard to put into words how I felt on a regular basis but this game felt very accurate. Safe to say I’ve got better over time and am living a better way than I once was but it always creeps back if you’ve suffered from these sorts of sever mental disorders before. There is light and dark in every life and I believe things will always be okay in the end. It just takes time.

YES
*"Follow the light"*
That's something that has two definitions, from what I've seen, read, and my own experiences. The light can be honest, and take you to safety. But the light could also be a lie, and might make you think about committing, or make you commit suicide. So when following the light seems too easy, or too good to be true, I wouldn't trust it.

I was about 7 or 8 when I first cried to my mom that I wanted to die. Over the time I've gotten experienced and used to it. It's been over 20 years. I still have bad and really, really bad days though. But often, I'm okay. This feels like a good game to show others what it feels like. The thing I could relate to the most was when you couldn't select 'help me'. There's been so many times where it's just been at the tip of my tongue, but no words come out and I've felt paralyzed and helpless. So trapped in my self-hatred I don't even feel like I deserve help.
Even if this video was a little hard to watch, I still think you can learn from it. I appreciate the work the creator/s did.

Oh god, the amount of people that reacted "try me" on the game warning. Doing this is not worth the consequences.
On the other note, the safe place reminded me of the dream I had.
I just woke and was sleepy, so I decided to stay longer in bed. Then I heard noise. I looked at the window, the sky was getting lighter and lighter. I was too scared to look at the landscape. I knew it was bomb and I knew that I couldn't hide. So I covered my head and closed my eyes, heart beating rapidly and my eyelids not stopping all the light, praying that i'll die faster because the tension was killing me.

@@teencrisis4750 Why would you do this to yourself? Is that curiosity or some sort of self-punishment?
Харли Крутош it was curiosity. The game, it just looked so interesting. I thought it wouldn’t be that bad and I thought I could take it but I only got too 30 minutes and stopped. Idk what I thought it would do, have a light at the end of the tunnel or end with a good message?
@@teencrisis4750 Well it ended on a somewhat hopeful note, I feel. That the meaning of life is something for you to decide. From what I understood, game was intentionally intense so the people that do not have mental issues of this kind can grasp how it works. I can't imagine how shitty it was for people that do have them.
On my dark days I just curl up in my bed with my dogs, They remind me that no matter how shitty the rest of the world seems there are always bits of light in the dark. Hard to be sad and miserable when you have 4 sets of puppy eyes staring at you with nothing but love and happiness at your sheer existence.

Don’t lose hope you were put on this earth for a reason you may have not found it yet but you can and you will! I believe in you
I keep thinking throughout you playing this “I dont like this” but then i realize that that’s just what life does to us and that’s what life will do to you. It’s way to scary how much i related to this.
This game honestly really hit me hard..
As someone who constantly struggles to merely ask for a helping hand, I still know that I could fix it by just telling someone.
Yet every moment something pulls me back and makes every hopeful moment dark.
With the near to end scene with the noose, I feel like I understood that one the most and took it to heart.
I feel like I am in the middle of that room, though I am scared to make decisions, and there is always this aura holding me back from both choices.
And a note to Jack if he were to see this:
You are one of the things that keep me alive and hopeful in this world, you always make me laugh and smile and I can't thank you enough for always being here for everyone.. I hope you always keep your amazing personality, no matter what.
Jack: **tells the same story over, over and over again**

cassidy ailise sorry which story precisely?
That was hard to watch. I'm glad I did though. I've suffered from severe depression and anxiety for 15 years or so. I was fighting tears almost the entire hour. I had to pause in the middle after a mild panic attack. Beautiful game and powerful experience.
i'm so sorry, I hope the pain eases soon❤️

I hope you're doing better, panic attacks can be nasty.
I did the same
I appreciate the concern from everyone. I'm one of the lucky ones who has gotten to a point where, with medication and a self care routine, I no longer have suicidal thoughts or tendencies. I can go out in public almost anytime I want and really only have issues with large crowds of people with whom I don't call "my community". I, remarkably, can go to comic book conventions with very few issues. I have always told people who ask about, but have never had, severe depression that "It's one of those things that you don't know, unless you know". This is an incredible way to help others understand what we go through and/or have gone through. I love Jack for playing this and giving it the respect it deserved. I love myself, my life and I desperately love those who can't love themselves.

I have mental illness. I have severe anxiety, depression, PTSD, and social anxiety, among a few other undiagnosed things. This game perfectly depicts how my life is like.The worrying about other people, the negative thoughts, it is all 100% real and true. I have struggled with mental illness since I was about 8 due to bullying, and then PTSD from two events, one at 13, one at 19. I have had attempts and SH. I want to tell you, IT GETS BETTER!!!!!

this freaks me out how accurate this is
It's coming from someone just like you and me, who's been through their own struggles. And yet some themes are always comparable, if you are an artist yourself.
Everything that jack is saying in relation to the game (don’t fall off now, that would be so much wasted effort, I can’t see the light here though, it’s messing with my head) all apply to anxiety and depression too. This is the purpose of the game. This is the experience that the developer intended, and that’s pretty cool. 💚🖤💚🖤
As someone with depression and anxiety, I think this game does a pretty good job of simulating some of the darkness that goes on in ones mind. I didn’t get any panic attacks while watching this, but then again, I’m heavily medicated...so I feel more like...numb. But it is true, most people seem like faceless beings who drift in and out of your life - you sort of project your insecurities and they bounce back at you. Thanks for the nice pep talk at the end Jack - it made the ending more bearable. Honestly, I would have chosen the noose if I were playing the game.
I love that more games like this are being made, it’s a great visual representation to show people, who may not understand what we’re going through.
(Edit: I have horrible anxiety when it comes to life threatening disasters.. so the air raid siren freaked me the fuck out.)
The worst part is that I know every word that is in this game is true
Hey, if you are feeling down about something it’s ok to tell someone about it. Why are the words true to you?
Including 53:40
Subscribe I’m Desperate it’s just another edgy game created by some fuck who probably “thought” he was depressed. These games are just as serious as vent chats, nothing but words and slightly annoyed feelings.
