(And no, I am not depressed at all - so much thanks for that!)
Depression is a state of low mood and aversion to activity that can affect a person's thoughts, behavior, feelings and sense of well-being.[1] Depressed people may feel sad, anxious, empty, hopeless, worried, helpless, worthless, guilty, irritable, hurt, or restless. They may lose interest in activities that once were pleasurable, experience loss of appetite or overeating, have problems concentrating, remembering details, or making decisions, and may contemplate or attempt suicide. Insomnia, excessive sleeping, fatigue, loss of energy, or aches, pains, or digestive problems that are resistant to treatment may also be present. (Wikipedia)
This movie is very powerful and shows a vivid and clear view on depression, very worth seeing it.

I hope you never do too!! I don't anymore .. saved by a great Doc and one little yellow pill everyday. Its a disease that few understand.
Thank you for sharing this very interesting and extremely well written post/article about how depression (and I dare say, extreme depression) feels. I read it from the first line to the last, and the drawings are incredible. It is scary indeed. The saddest part is how people don't understand how a depressed person is really suffering and not just being lazy, and they try to just "cheer them up" instead of listening to them and being supportive.
What a GIFT it is to appreciate life, and to be able to feel joy and to be moved by a sunset, a flower, a child, a kitten playing... We shoud be thankful every day for this!!! Thank you for reminding me, Yael.
Liebe Yael,
danke für diesen Post. Depression isst eine Krankheit, die man nicht immer sofort erkennt. Oftmals ist es zu spät.
Einen guten Start ins Wochenende wünscht

I am generally quite a happy person, so watching it may just topple me over. So I don't think I will. Sorry.
That is a powerful post! I had no idea... My approach was pretty much like in the illustration - do yoga and watch the sunrise, write a journal and it will cure your sadness. How scary! Thank you for opening my eyes.
