  • Thought I'd try and speak candidly about what I've been going through, and what it's like living with depression. I don't think I expressed my thoughts as best and as clearly as I could've, but I'm not sure I could sit down and record something like this again. At least not right now. I also want all of you out there to know that you're not alone, and we're all human. Thanks for watching my videos.

    The description speaks a little bit about where I was at when thinking about making this video. I hope this finds those that need it, and also helps some perhaps understand a little better what depression is or how it affects some people - and it affects everyone differently. I'm just tired, exhausted, and stressed. So I hope my rambling makes sense. Love you guys

    Fruit,
    As someone going through depression myself, I just want to say that you’ve been one of the biggest factors in my life that is helping me get trough it. Your uploads are often the only good part of my day.
    I have not watched this video yet so I won’t speak anymore on the subject, but just know that you mean a lot to me personally and countless others as well.
    I appreciate you being open about your issues, such as this, and letting me know that I’m not alone. So that being said, know that you’re not alone either. Don’t let depression get the better of you. Good things happen! You’re almost married for one! I know that depression is a chemical imbalance in many cases and there isn’t anything we can do about that... but just push through it. We love you.

    Doubt anyone will read this: But it is to anyone who's ever felt down and just can't seem to get out of it
    I am autistic. I was heavily bullied in school, not just by the students either. Principal, teachers, strangers.
    I have never truly met my biological father, he left when I was 3.
    My dad, technically my stepdad, but the man who raised me (and to me is my father), was psychologically abusive to no end. It was senseless at times. Not only was he an alcoholic, he has literally stolen thousands from me. I never really noticed how much it was, until I added it up one day.
    I have moved so many times. Because I am autistic, it is very hard for me to make friends. In fact, I have not dated anyone in over 4 years and really don't know how to talk about that anymore.
    The theater that was shot up in Aurora Colorado, I don't even want to talk about; I can still picture everything.
    My mother has left these abusive men thankfully, but has also developed MS. I literally watch her wither away before my eyes on some days.
    At my new job, they make fun of anyone who is autistic. In fact they are proud of it. This is why I am afraid to tell anyone that I have autism
    I am so messed up, that I get worried when things go right. Things HAVE TO go wrong. That's how it's supposed to be, that's what I'm used to.
    Someday, I am sure that I will suck on a bullet, but that day has not come yet. There's a reason I will never own a gun; and I think.... I've been thru so much.... To just toss it away.... Why? What if these horrid experiences help someone somehow?
    I do consider myself lucky though. I have the highest functioning form of autism and for most people, it just seems that I am shy.
    My mother has helped me hide the fact I am autistic and as a result, I am more comfortable than most others with Autism.
    All I can say, to anybody, is just give it one more day.
    You don't know what the next day will bring. And you don't know but positivity will happen in the next day.
    So whenever you think negativity, or you're down on yourself, or it seems like your depression is getting the best of you, or you think of suicide as often as I do, just think:
    Give it 1 more day.
    And after that day?
    Give it 1 more day.
    EDIT:
    Thank you all for your kindness. I figured this might only reach 1 or 2 people; happy I was mistaken.
    Edit 2:
    Thank you all so much for your kindness. It's a rare commodity I hope you all continue to keep :)

    Well yeah, and I'm sad, but at the same time I'm really happy that something could make me feel that sad. It's like, it makes me feel alive, you know? It makes me feel human. And the only way I could feel this sad now is if I felt somethin' really good before. So I have to take the bad with the good, so I guess what I'm feelin' is like a, beautiful sadness.

    The more details and additional explanations you added, each one seemed more and more relatable and I’m now 18 and I’ve never known what’s wrong with me. I’m not saying I am depressed but I think this might have given me more insight into what’s going on with me and my brain. It has always been an idea in the back of my mind but I have never explicitly believed I have depression. I am an anxious person but I’ve always felt like there is more than just anxiety. I tried talking to someone but I just didn’t feel like it helped me. I do in fact enjoy going to the gym, it helps take my mind away from everything else. I also use video games, music, and UA-cam to help distract me. Thanks for the content and helping me be happy.

I've experienced depression for about 1.5 years now (well, I've been diagnosed for 1.5 years), and I felt exactly like you. Not sure what I'm feeling, just knowing that it's wrong. The worst thing I did in that situation was let it build up to suicidal thoughts. When that happened, I came to my mom and tried my best to explain through my tears. Even though I let it out so late, I was still able to get help. If you're feeling like that, and it stays for a while, it's important you tell someone. Maybe a friend, teacher, or a parent. Just make sure someone knows, and keep them updated whenever possible, if it gets better or worse.

I have been dealing with this since I was 11. So I think making it this far is pretty good. I have no desire to live to an old age. I don't want to deal with this for another 40 years.

      Always remember there are ppl worse off than you and so that is something to constantly be thankful for that your are not in their shoes and it will help you look on the bright side of things. For example i just saw an ad about art - I liked the image so I kept watching. Then I noticed the guy was paint while holding the paint brush in his mouth and then it hits the viewer - the guy was in a wheelchair suffering from a broke neck in pain and still finding the inner strength to stay alive and paint. You have an inner strength that is never ending and god given and you should always turn to that in your darkest sadest times and the faith will help you see that everything will be alright.

Enough about me, depression is a big deal and I hope people who suffer from it to get better or just not struggle with it.

    Mr Fruit I know this can’t cure your depression but it can help hopefully. If you are having a hard time and are feeling depressed and just having a bad week, day, whatever just pull up this video and read the comments. You might feel alone as an introvert and might feel like you are the only one feeling this way but if you read these comments you will see that you have millions of random people who (mostly) haven’t even met you yet and they love you more than most people they know. You have the your family, you have your friends ( love the dream team and friends btw), and you have us, the millions of people who love watching you and love just being able to have you to listen to. You may feel alone but because you made this video you are making thousands of people feel a lot less alone. If you are struggling with uploading and feel like it is work and we rely on you, you don’t have to upload!!!!!!! Remember you are super fortunate even though you might not feel like it this isn’t work this is exactly what it started with for you, just a release and a way to have fun, IT IS NOT MANDATORY, so remember you can take a break for as long as you need. We have thousands of your videos that we can rewatch and rely on so u don’t need to make more everyday. Btw you might think this video was stupid but I guarantee that you are helping thousands of people with this and helping “cure their depression” . I am fortunate to not have depression and am mostly happy, there are those days. But life is much better with you helping us feel like we are not alone. Sorry for the rant but I just can’t bear to see you feeling depressed and alone because we love you and couldn’t imagine life without watching you, hope you see this and it makes you feel better but I gotta do my homework before I procrastinate until 1 am. Love you and the dream team, and keep up the great CONTENT

    Sounds like you have a similar problem to me. I have chronic fatigue syndrome. I’m seeing two therapists and the things you’re saying you do, are exactly what they’ve told me are causing my problems. There is a boom and bust cycle. You do certain activities that tire you out. Being mentally tired can be worse than physical exertion. But these periods of feeling worn out are usually delayed and so pinpointing what causes the serious fatigue can be difficult. But basically, you feel okay one day and do a lot, you then feel rough the next day because of that and do little. Over time, the delay of fatigue causes long periods of feeling awake and then long periods of feeling tired and depressed. And that sounds like a situation you’re in. So, the basic principle to improve that is to limit the amount you do something before you get too exhausted, allowing you to do it more often. So for example, I’m a media composer. I’ll have a good day and spend 4 hours at my computer writing a piece of music, and then if I’m feeling good spend half an hour doing weights or something and then something else and eventually end my day feeling good that I’ve got a lot done. But it could be a week down the line when I feel it, my energy levels are incredibly low and for several days I’m completely in a rut, feeling down and struggling to even walk I feel so rough. The plan I’m working on is to limit each activity. If I feel like I can do it for four hours, do it for half that time or less. And then do weights for only 10 minutes and then something else but keep the periods shorter. You create a sort of jigsaw of things that use energy in different ways. So I’m not exhausted physically or mentally the next day. And Then you’re able to do it again instead of needing to sleep. It sounds like it would be harder for you with your busy schedule but it might be necessary to take a step back, re evaluate how you work, and work on a plan that can help to sustain the level of work you do but in a more manageable way that fits in with your depression and prevents the boom and bust cycle. It’s hard to explain without being able to draw diagrams and stuff but maybe some of that was thought provoking and maybe helpful to you or someone else. A certain amount of predictability throughout the day is what everyone needs (that’s why getting a new job or moving etc can be so daunting, because it disrupts the predictability of our day). But you can’t be in a position where the predictability is forcing you to over work in certain areas (mentally or physically) to a point where your brain implodes and you become seriously down and exhausted for long periods.

    Dear Mr. Fruit
    About a year and a half ago i was diagnosed with severe depression with a side of anxiety. I was 20 years old loving at home and single. I was at the point of suicide. My parents started noticing and told me i should see a doctor about this. Of course i was reluctant because i didnt want to admit that i was dealing with depression. After seeing the doctor i was prescribed some anti depresssants and thus started my journey of becoming mentally stable again. I took to video gaming. This gave me a a sense of self-worth and accomplishment. I played Spiral Knights, Destiny, and then eventually took on Fortnite. I made a bunch of friends that helped me forget about being depressed and finally on April 6th of 2018, I stopped taking my medication. I didnt need it. I had the friends by my side, a loving family, and God to thank for keeping me alive. Everyone just needs that one thing to keep them going. That one thing that keeps their mind in a happy state. I must say that watching your videos, knowing you struggle with the same mental illness i did helped me out the most. Thank you for all the hard work you do and I pray, someday your depression will subside and never come back. God Bless.
    P.S. Dont ever tell yourself that maybe you shouldnt be telling us this because we may not care. We care about you. Everyone here cares. You mean so much to us! Please make more videos telling us how youre doing. We like them
    P.S.S. Give Spiral Knights a shot, it would make my day :) Its free and its on Steam @Mr. Fruit

    Hey Fruit, thanks for the video. I am a subscriber of yours since 2013... I am a 16 year old and struggling with extreme depression. I have never been to a therapist or taken medications, but nonetheless I am a restricted child w/out any social media sources or any gaming systems aside from a wii. I have lived with the eating thought in my mind that suicide is better than anything else in this world with my abusive dad, backstabbing friends; and my mom, sister, and brother's hatred toward my mere existence. I have never had anything given to me in my life for free, like a normal human being right? Right, but sometimes my dad, who is obsessed with sports, will not allow me to eat or drink ANYTHING until I workout for him so that my skills or athleticism will give him glory. I am a 200 pound 6'3.5" guy that is mostly bone skin and some fat from my childhood. Being so depressed the past 8 years of my life I have been slowly progressing from fat & chubby to bone skinny. I have not eaten breakfast or lunch daily as of this year from February 14 - July 28. But aside from all about me. You. You no matter your case: depression, cold, or work conflicts, Cristian, you have been the ONLY reason that I have not committed suicide. Each day I waited for your post of a new video. Your humor, and hilarious phrases such as “Sweet Baby Moses” or “Suck Me Softly” have made me laugh with some great joy that I have not felt since I was 7. Your TTT videos have continuously made me laugh to tears & side aches. As of this year I have cleaned up my act from eating properly like not too much or little. And I have been exercising daily What I told you at the beginning was my weight in July. I am still 200 pounds but I have extreme muscle growth and joy entering my life. Your videos are the reason that I am still alive. I have attempted suicide at age 10. Didn’t work but as I laid in the hospital my best friend Cyrus entered my room telling me that he found a youtuber for me to watch to have joy. He showed me you… Mr. Fruit, you are the reason i continue on. Your courage to propose to your girlfriend and post a video on it told me that all a man needs is courage, strength, joy, and confidence and you can do anything.. I just finished going to my first date since my 6th grade year. Thank you for everything, your family in my heart…
    Sincerely,
    Thomas

    Hugs Mr. Fruit. I swear to the Norse Gods and to the Greybeards that what you're saying is so familiar. I'm a workaholic, so if I don't get work done it REALLY brings me down, which just is another part of the crappy depression cycle. But seriously man, I just want to give you the biggest bear hug my 6'3'', 280 lb frame can give you. I had depression in a Fundamentalist Christian environment, that didn't believe that depression was real. It was a sin problem. So I went through much of my adult life with it, never getting it treated. Until I left that environment permenantly about 12 years ago, started to get treatment, and my life GREATLY improved. I say all this because I Completely relate, completely appreciate your candid nature, completely love you and what you do. Dark clouds are insidious and just hit us at all the wrong time, and those of us that have depression know exactly what you're talking about.
    Fruit, I sincerely love your work. I'm amazed at it each day. I don't know how you crank out what you do in the amount of time you do. It's truly amazing. To know that you suffer from depression makes it even more amazing.
    Getting things done helps me so much with dark thoughts, things like a wood working project or getting a coding project done at work. Most of the time the project seems so huge though that I can't even get started. It's just too overwhelming. And ADHD doesn't help. BUT we all forge ahead, and each day brings more opportunities to create new stuff. And your stuff is a daily treat that I look forward to. I'm not kidding.
    Thank you again for sharing Fruit. Truly.

    Hey fruit. I’m Ethan and just a short 2 years ago I was diagnosed with major depressive disorder. I am 16 currently and still struggle with this today. I know exactly how you fell and started to feel this way when I was 13 in eighth grade. I was constantly picked on and I believe, however have no proof that, this could have been a stimulant to my disorder. I went through my last year of middle school and my first year of high school without the help of anyone or letting anyone know. Soon this crippling feeling fell to a point of despair and after about 3 months of constant crying in class and at home, emotionally drained to the point of exhaustion, I gave up and attempted suicide. I drank bleach and for some god seen reason, to very little effect. I dry heaved for hours with nothing. Eventually, with hours of tears in my eyes, I gave up and went to bed at 3:00 in the afternoon. My parents came home and woke me up. I still felt sick however was perfectly alive. I went to school the next day and didn’t say a word. The next week went on without any improvement and I thought of suicide again. When I turned back to the bleach again for a second time, oddly enough the bottle was completely empty with a hole in the bottom, being perfectly fine the day before. I sat in my bed during the weekend and did absolutely nothing. I got on Xbox without any will. My friend joined my party and started talking, I don’t remember about what, but finally I snapped. I started yelling at him, my body hostage to my emotion and overwhelming helplessness. My parents overheard me and tried to talk to me. I snapped again and told them what I did just a couple days prior. They tried seeking counseling for me, but with our worsening health insurance we couldn’t afford anything. I finally went somewhere and got help. I started to feel better after weeks. It hasn’t been as bad the past year, however my anxiety has gotten way worse to the point of hallucinations. I don’t want to get put on meds because I’m too scared to mess something up. I decided the cause of my anxiety comes from going into large social situations and my depression comes from being alone too long or leaving a situation where I felt happy for the first time in a while. I spent the whole video typing this and am on the verge of crying. Whoever read this I appreciate you taking the time to help others. If anyone feels similarly to me, honestly reply or something. I’m sorry to everyone who has experienced this or will in the future. Just remember there will eventually be a way to get out of it and just hold in there. I love you all and wish the best. Keep in there.

      Hey buddy, please know that you're not alone. From the age of 9 to 12 I was being picked on and that also triggered my depression. I was so sad, crying a lot, wanted to run away, to hurt myself and I felt like nobody understood me. I found solace in games. I learned to live with these feelings and hide them, because I thought nobody cared enough to understand. It so happened that after I changed schools, things got a little better. I began working on myself and improving myself because I knew that's the only way to make this better. And in many cases I've failed but overall it's been a major improvement for me. To this day I don't think I can be as happy as other people are, but I'm not as sad as before either. So I'm okay with that and I've managed to learn more about myself and experiment and go in the nature and do things I never would've done otherwise. Really hope this helps you, you are more strong than you believe. :)

Not advocating violence, but beating up your bullies is better than killing yourself and getting to the point of self-loathing. I just wish people didn't take these things to heart. My little brother is the same way and it kills me. He's 14. I only have 5 close friends whose friendships i really value. Find people you can talk to who deal with the same struggles. Go to meetings. See if there are any online anon chat groups (even better if you can find an actual place to meet). If you are feeling low, you need others to pull you out of it. When I was diagnosed with mild depression, they put me on a medication that made it 50× worse. I got so depressed that it literally took all my energy. I missed my own graduation party.The biggest thing that helped me was thinking about all the people that I would hurt by my leaving. And if you don't have anyone....FIND THEM! I didn't think I would have any friends. Very introverted. There are people like us out there that need one another. There are a lot of people out there who could really benefit from your company. I have told all of my close friends that I wish I met them earlier. Everyone has struggles and things that get them down. We are social creatures and the worst thing for people, especially depressed people....is being alone with your thoughts. if you need to talk to someone to talk to, I'm here for you. shoot me a message on youtube or tell me how I can contact you. You're not alone. Don't hurt yourself. Most importantly. You will only feel worse for it later. Love you.

    Mr. Fruit,
    The first thing that I want to say is thank you for making this video. It reminded me that you are a human being. I felt that I can connect with you more as person because I can relate to you. Ever since I was a kid in small town in Idaho, people have been saying the same things as “just stop being sad” or “quit being lazy” and “why you always so down”. I was always sad when I tried to force myself to do the things I saw others do naturally. When I was finally told by my psychiatrist that I was depressed, I didn’t even really know what that meant or entailed. It wasn’t until I saw a therapist that I was finally able to understand why I so somber. I was finally able to talk through it, for the better I would say. The fear of trying to explain to others that you are not just sad and are actually mentally ill, and having them think you are just making excuses is paralyzing. But when I found you on UA-cam, you had posted your “Draw me” video, and after watching it I was so happy to know that there was someone who was in a similar situation, and you seemed to be trying you hardest to make something you were proud of. I was inspired by your determination and it has led me to make more positive changes in my life since then. I know I’ve been rambling on and on, and I may just be a number, just a small part of an analytic, but I want you to know that you are perfect in your imperfection and strong through your shortcomings. Thank you so much for being a UA-camr, and thank you for everything.

    Mr. Fruit I know exactly how you feel even though I'm nowhere near as old as you I struggle with depression and anxiety. I have self harmed since the age of 11 and it's the worst route to go down. I feel comfortable saying such things through a social media device because no one knows me. To you I'm just one of the millions that love your videos. I'm not on anti depressants because people think it's not serious but no one knows how close I have been to ending my life. This is not an attention seeking comment I just though you should know that there are others like you. We are all here for you Mr fruit and trust me life can change in an instant.

    I went through a suicidal bit in 2nd grade. I absolutely hated it. I hated everything back then, now I’m a few weeks into sophomore year of high school and am jaded to hell when it comes to dying. I’ve never wanted to self harm, it was more of an all or nothing mentality. Exercise and friends have helped so so much and I’m so much happier now and to be honest, I’m stronger.
    Edit: actually no I’ve cut my chest to self harm but never my wrists or anything

    Mr Fruit! Christian my friend. I have watched your content since I found your channel way back in Vanilla Destiny. Your shotgun review was actually first videos I saw of yours. Anyways....I myself battle depression, and have been living with it since I was 14. I was molested as a child by an Uncle, btw I am a male...not that it matters. Anyway that is the root of my Depression. I found my solution in alcohol and substance abuse which didnt solve anything. However, i am now a 32 year old man who has 9 years of sobriety under my belt and honestly have a better life than I ever thought I would. Unfortunately, Depression is still there kicking my ass. Its a daily struggle for me but if I look at it as a daily battle and not a lifelong one I usually win. Not sure what I ment to say with all this but just know your subscribers are here for you. I know I am, and you have made my day numerous times with you light and humor. I love you bro, and you mean so much to me and all of FruitNation. Stay positive and moving forward my brother. God bless. P.s. sry for the text wall

    First off my boyfriend and I love your Destiny videos! ♥️ You've made us giggle and chortle so much! Second, I've been battling pessimistic and anxious thoughts/emotions for over five years. I've been stubbornly pushing myself. I refuse to take medicine or seek medical help. Because I feel like I want to win. I keep myself busy all the time, I work out, study, and etc. But.... even though I've reach the point where I feel like I'm doing my absolute best it's still not enough.... and I finally come to the realization that I might have to seek help after all. That something is "wrong with me". And I don't want the person I love to have to deal with it for the rest of our lives. I don't want to burden him or have it affect our relationship in a bad way. Even though I know he'll be there for me 110% I don't want to put it on him. So... it's been really bad the past two weeks and just steadily getting worse and worse. I feel like I've reached a whole new low after many years. And then this video came out and has brought me some comfort so thank you Mr. Fruit. Thank you for continuing to make me laugh and letting me know I'm not alone. That well... I'm not crazy. That me not being able to control my emotions no matter how hard I try is okay and not my fault. So... thank you very much. Sorry this was kind of a book. And I wish you all the best and that tons of smiles will be sent your way :)

    Dude imma be honest I'm in the same boat most of the time. I get depressed a lot by usually being the outcast and never having time to do anything (work, college, etc). Since I started high school, you were the guy I went to watch videos on youtube since you were under 30k (multiple accounts until I made this one) and literally every time I watch a video of yours I get a smile on my face. People say things like Halo and COD were their childhood but this channel made my childhood. I couldn't stand myself if anything bad happened to you, seeing a couple of my friends who committed suicide changes you. You're the kind of guy that does work to feel accomplished, continue to make it enjoyable or even widen the spectrum of you videos! Laughing, being with family and friends, just do what you wanna do! Don't know your religion or whatever but I'm praying for you!
    You taught me how to be the best,
    Now show me that YOU ARE THE BEST!!

I don't have to think about school or work, i can just relax. Thank you so much for that! You and your friends have made me laugh like crazy.

    I know how you feel Mr Fruit. When I was 17 my anxiety and depression was unbearable. I’m no longer depressed but I still have anxiety and OCD (mainly intrusive thoughts that scare me so much) and it bugs me that people think that OCD is just arranging and cleaning and stuff. I don’t have any of that, it is so annoying and my anxiety just makes it worse. Depression gets better, trust me :D

      Llama Wonka it’s ok, you’re not ignorant at all :) the other symptoms of OCD are overthinking, irrational fears (usually about becoming a pedophile or in my case I worry I will be a serial killer), mind pops (random memories or sentences pop into your had at random times), music gets stuck in your head a lot, obsession (for example I was so worried and obsessed that I would search up about serial killers for hours to see if I’m not like them), carrying out mental rituals to get rid of your unwanted and unpleasant thoughts and obsessions (these are known as compulsions) and intrusive thoughts (unwanted thoughts that are about doing something harmful or bad and is usually accompanied with guilt)

It just takes a little pressure off your shoulders knowing ‘hey, it’s not just me, I don’t have to do this by myself, I do have other people around me even though it may not seem it at times, so I genuinely appreciate this Mr.Fruit, it’s easy to get trapped inside your head, and keep things to yourself.

I have actually just gotten over a bad wave of side effects of different medications. My body does not accept the meds well and therapy is a good help. With you making this video, I will use this as a note when I go back into a low wave. Just, do the only thing you can and keep pushing. From experience, it's not always easy, but you can. Just keep on keeping on and thank you for the videos for the past couple of years

I’ve had my dabble with depression, having a huge medical issue in sophomore year, a falling out with my dad in junior, and having no motivation or support for all of high school. Honestly, what it took was writing in a notebook or what you would call a diary. It makes me feel productive and also cements my ambitions and hopes, and let’s me get in touch with my emotions and feelings. Negative people always make great comedians, they know and see a different side of things. And you are a funny and bright guy, and hopefully you come out of this enlightened. I hope you come around to seeing this, and I hope this small tidbit could help.

    @Jakepopper01 6 років тому +52

    I sometimes feel like I am depressed, but I have had a friend commit suicide recently, so now every time I feel down I just think of what his passing made a lot of people feel. He was an extremely smart person who had so much potential, but that is where me and him differ. I always think down on myself because I’m not really good at anything, not even video games which I spend 90% of my free time on. I always think of how everyone talked about all of the amazing things my friend had done before he passed, and I always think of how little would be said about me. I have very few friends, and I am extremely antisocial, so I wonder, if I took my life, how many people would truly be affected. I can think of maybe 15 who would feel some sort of emotion but that much is enough to prevent me from taking my life. I always think to myself that I want to die, but I don’t want to commit suicide, because people might blame themselves for it. Another thing that stops me is, I know this may sound stupid, upcoming movies and games I’m excited for. I always remember things like “if I kms, I won’t get to see Avengers 4” or stupid stuff like that. I’m extremely conflicted on this subject so I absolutely hate when it is brought up or I have thoughts about it. If I sound like I’m looking for sympathy, I’m not, I just sometimes really need to write a comment like this to get something off my chest, no matter how many people see it.

But yeah I'm more or less the talentless one in the family. Sure I play video games like a lot of my time but I'm not the best. Also I'm not great at anything too much really. I only know my way around the computer but there are people better at that then me but even with all that. I'm not that sad witch I surprise myself. Sometimes I do have my big Lows where I almost cry in my sleep but then I remember my happy moments and that makes me happy. I'm just going on about myself but yeah. I do truly feel talentless but I'm surprised that I'm not mad about that. Also I never get mad at my sister I always cheer her on because I love her. She's an amazing sister and I sometimes play Halo with her which I love doing.

I’m sorry if I just don’t understand because I don’t have depression and I have never have it. I’m glad you’re not thinking about hurting yourself because you have your close friends, your family. And literally millions of people who would be devastated if you ever left us. And even without depression life sucks sometimes. It happens. And I want you to know that I want you to feel somewhat better even if you can’t get rid of it.

    Watching your videos brought a tiny bit of light into my every day life (I myself struggle with sever mental health issues to the point where they are disabilities haha) but a couple of weeks ago- I tried to take my own life... I was in hospital for 2 weeks- the doctor said it was a miracle and I'm so incredibly lucky to have survived because medically- I shouldn't have... But since I got out of hospital- I've been watching your videos a lot more and videos of others that appear on your channel and again, it brings a small light in a very dark time for me...

    Fruit, I'm only halfway through this video right now and already to see you struggle with just trying to explain this.. I just feel you on a huge level. "Even with working out every day and taking the medication, I still have those days" I'm paraphrasing but I just.. relate so so much. I'm not taking medication, currently, for my bipolar disorder and with bipolar, you get manic highs and depressive lows. and the higher the high, the lower the low. And the depression always seems to go for much longer and hit me way harder. I just recently thought I was doing really well and I felt on top of the world but inevitably, I had that crash. And it feels like I'm just above rock bottom. and it's taking like all of my effort to keep my head above water right now. I'm not suicidal or thinking of hurting myself, I'm not there yet, I have been before, but goddamn there are those days.... It gets really hard and it is really comforting to have you share this video.
    Anyway my point here is. You are an actual inspiration to me. You have so much going for you and yet you still suffer with depression and you feel like people just don't understand BECAUSE you have so much going for you and I get it. On a cellular level. I feel it in my soul, I get it. I appreciate this message SO MUCH. I appreciate you. I want you to keep doing what you're doing and keep fighting it. FruitNation cares about you. Love you, Fruit.

  • @yelling3874

    It's genuinely really inspiring to me that despite having depression you are as successful as you are (pretty damn successful from where I'm standing)... I've had depression come and go since I was in middle school. It's also familial for me, but I have a couple other risk factors. The past few years I have been REALLY having a hard time and to be honest contributing to my own problems. So here I am, with a good college degree, but having tanked my first few years of work history... I know that you have got where you are because you have WORKED at it. I know you've put in a crazy upload schedule, sometimes crazier than others. I know you've had trouble doing that work. Maybe that's inevitable for all of us with depression. But that doesn't mean we can't work past it. Learned helplessness has been my number one problem and this did really inspire me in that regard. (I don't get inspired easily and am usually a pessimist, which I think I will be working on.)
    Anyway... I know you have trouble with not working, and if you do read this I hope it didn't mess with you in that regard. We're on different ends of that spectrum lmao. (If you really do need to force yourself to take it easier, have you tried thinking of whatever you need to do to help your mental health- like going and being social, or going somewhere outside for half an hour to relax, etc.- as a job? That's helped me a little, and I certainly don't have the work ethic you do right now... No need to take that seriously if it doesn't appeal to you at first glance.) But we're all rooting for you and hope you feel better, and I'm really glad you're working on getting better. Especially the medical stuff. People neglect that ALL the time.
    Hope your brain stops pooping on you. I think I'm going to go work out.

    Brother, every single day I fight fight this feeling. This deep sadness that I can not control. And there isn’t many constants in my life other than a few things. School, work and your videos. My sadness was non-existent until earlier this year when I just felt alone and lost in this world that we live in. But with that sadness I wasn’t helping myself. I would listen to music that corresponds with my mood that would just bring me down more I would close myself off from the world not wanted to be bothered. No energy for anything though I would be swamped with everyone. The main thing that has helped me through this is you. Your videos. Your deep love for what you do and all of us. I know when 12pm eastern time comes around I can pull up the channel and there’d be a video there to bring me up from the depths of my mental state. You personally have done so much for me and we don’t know each other. The impact you have had on me and everyone else on this channel is so monumentally positive that I cannot thank you enough. I have no idea where I would be right now if I didn’t discover your channel. Thank you for bringing me up when I’m down and being there for me whenever I feel loneliest. You are NOT alone and neither am I. There’s always a light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you Christian for being there for me when it feels like no one else is.

I can say that this the most relating and eye opening video I've seen on depression yet. I've tried many different medications for anti depressants , other drugs , seen different therapists and even tried getting back in touch with religion and old friends, yet depression still has its chains attached to me sometimes. .... but on the brighter side I'm also a graphic design major and I'm currently learning digitizing video game visuals and character details , and doing that and watching hours of you're videos and other content creators helps keeps most of my depression at bay ....so keep making the great content for us all struggling Mr. Fruit 🙏

    hearing you speak about this gets me emotional, i have severe deppresion and anxiety and knowing others experience it too helps a little. making me know im not alone. im very bad with managing my mental health, but seeing you be able to live a fairly regular life and help others gives me hopes i can too. thank you❤
