Sadness: Let’s Talk About It (World Mental Health Day)

Have you ever found yourself drawn to your struggles, almost romanticizing the pain? Why do we cling to your suffering knowing that it continues to hurt us? The truth is, there are many complex reasons behind this phenomenon and how it influences our mental health, which is what we are going to discuss today.

Let’s discuss some big questions about mental health awareness and reflect on the deeper emotions tied to depression. Understanding these feelings is a vital step towards nurturing a healthier mindset and embracing a more compassionate view of ourselves.

    I don't know what they mean by sadness being "enticing", because I'm damn sure not enjoying my crippling depression, exacerbated by external factors. I'm really struggling right now, and there's nothing enticing, alluring, romantic, or cute about feeling like shit, hating everything and everyone, and wanting to die. I want to be happy, or at least not feel like every breath is a burden. I feel horrible, and it's not fun at all. Happy people make me angry. Other sad people make me angry. When bad things happen to others, I'm almost glad, and I'm an INFJ, so that's not even like me to feel that way. INFJs usually don't enjoy schadenfreude. I'm lonely and isolated, but I don't want to be bothered. I drag myself through the day, and cry myself to sleep (when I do sleep). I want to laugh. I want a supportive partner. I want to go out and go on trips. I see horrible people living happy lives, and it's not fair. I want to be happy. That's what's enticing to me. It's always just out of reach.

    Also, I hate when people say "spend time with friends and family" as a way to beat sadness and depression. This usually makes me feel worse because I literally don't have any friends, my family is dysfunctional AF, and I don't want to be bothered anyway. Some people are depressed precisely because they have no meaningful interpersonal connections, or because their family/home/social life is a mess, or nonexistent — it's a trigger to tell them to do the very thing that they can't do, and is making them sad in the first place — as an antidote. It's like telling a person who's depressed from having no legs to just take a nice walk.

    Can you make a video about why I get tired when I study? Am I getting tired just because it's boring or are there other factors that make me tired of studying?

    do you reference harry potter in so many episodes specifically because you dislike trans people, or do you just not care that its creator has been trying to hurt us for years and still is trying right now?
