When I first saw this video 5 years ago I broke down hysterically sobbing when John said there is hope and that I wouldn't always feel this way, because I wanted it to be true so bad but after 7 years of chronic depression, suicidal ideation and nothing that ever worked to lighten the burden, but I couldn't imagine it actually being true, let alone achievable or just around the corner. Well, I finally got a therapist who saw there was more under the surface, got an unexpected autism diagnosis on top of my bipolar II and then finally medication that worked for me. I've since finished high school, I'm now in college, my house is clean, I like my life, myself, I have so much to look forward to, and almost a decade of severe chronic depression seems like a bad dream. There is hope, mental illness is almost always treatable and how you feel when you are at your sickest isn't how you'll always feel. There's hope, kids. Do not give up.
