Bed rotting is a popular TikTok trend that’s been on the rise these past few years. I’ve suddenly started seeing content from Japanese content creators who are bed rotting on another level. Like eating questionable looking food, and living with bugs as roommates. Is this content posted by people going through something, or is it just another industry plant making ragebait content? I’ll be talking about Asian work culture, bed rotting, and reacting to some interesting videos of Asian Garbage House Influencers #edvasian
i genuinely think this happens because its as close to killing yourself as you can get without actually dying.
its just lying down and waiting to die and imo explains the risky behaviour too.
Dang! That kinda hurt tbh
real. i dont want to live so i wont. especially since it's difficult to get up anyways
i am just waiting for it to take me so i don't have to do it instead
I think the word is parasuicide?
absolutely and people will still call it laziness. i fully shut down when my brother died in an extremely traumatic way when i was 19. it took me 2 years to finally ask for help with cleaning my house out of shame.
I do NOT believe he’s not sick. Mold poisoning can show up as a number of different symptoms: Headaches, asthma, chronic pain, anxiety, fatigue, etc. So even if he isn’t experiencing stomach issues such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea that does not mean he isn’t slowly degrading his own health. Mold exposure is incredibly damaging.
Also can we mention the dangers of ingesting DISH SOAP?!
They said Indonesian people's gut are the strongest but I choose to believe that all he did is just for conteng and I hope he get proper meal back in the days 😢
He's gonna be in a chubbyemu video. You can't just eat room temp old rice and reheat it god knows how many times...
He might develop lung issues from breathing in that mold. I’ve heard of mold growing in people’s lungs after inhaling spores (I can’t remember what type it was but, I doubt any mold other than cheese is good for you.)
My thoughts exactly. There's no way he's not exhibiting ANY issues related to this.
I feel like the rotten rice guy is going to end up in one of that doctor's videos about "Man ate 2 week old rice, this is how his organs shut down".
CHUBBYEMU
☝🏽presenting to the ER with bubblin’ guts
The rice is unrelated
@@MissMiaAfroGoddess where we are now
I just hope he makes a full recovery
i hate when people think bed-rotting is just laying in bed. its being so depressed you can't bring yourself to move/leave your bed. not having a cozy off day
Haha I went through that a couple times in life.
You're right about that. I'm having that problem right now, but I'm not collecting garbage or mouldy cups because that would make me feel worse.
@@raven4090I really hope it gets better soon!
@@ayylien3070 wish i could say that I'm depressed it basically is my life
I was depressed and currently recovering and yes back then I wish the sun should never rise. I even cried when morning comes
Someone tell me why I am nervous to post a selfie on my stupid private Instagram story and these people post their bugs and moldy food!!
because when you're in a state in which you live with bugs and eat rotten food you have bigger problems than being shy around your friends👍
@@LyoHaliotis I think it's more of an overthinking and being self-conscious kind of thing, those people seem to have turned that off. Like to an admirable extent. But maybe they just have bigger fires to put out.. could be true.
Because you people are insecure about yourselves
They are mentally off.
at least when you are nervous to post yourself, as backwards as this may sound, it shows that you care about how you look and present yourself to other people which can be a good thing. just that sometimes, we end up caring too much... these people care too Little
the way my jaw dropped when he opened the rice cooker & went 'ah... fuwa fuwa'. My brother that is NOT what people mean when they talk about 'fluffy' rice!!!
fuwa means fluffy ?
@@milou1996-d5bfuwa fuwa means fluffy
He was washing the rice with soap and he said "umasou" 😭 like bro WHAT
Lmao that’s so much worse, because in my language fuwa is more like a sound you make when something is gross to you. So I thought he meant “ewww” and at least acknowledged it’s disgusting.
I believe I’m the complete opposite and extreme from him. I cringe when someone dips their fry in my ketchup, if someone touch my face then all I think about is wether their hands were clean or not. When I see one speck of dust in my water or on my food then I’m not hungry anymore. I can’t even let the whites of my nails grow because I don’t want any dirt to sit under it and I have to dry my hands with paper towels as well as have to change my pillow nightly. I wipe the toilet seat with spray after every visit because to see dust or fluid stains on it make me sick. All of my habits are time consuming and make me worry constantly. So this is my morbid curiosity now 😂 Maybe his content will help me become less extreme lol… Or it could go the opposite way 😭💀
@@udontevenwannaknowbruvHaving longer nails actually helped me keep dust and dirt out of my nails. They're easier to clean without damaging too. I would always have gunk trapped under when I had shorter nails but less when longer (maybe a tad past your fingertip length?)
The best collab this influencers could have is with that finnish lady on youtube that cleans entire houses for free for people going through debilitating conditions
But if their space is clean what would their channel be about anymore 🤷🏽♀️ it’s kind of a trap. If that’s what your whole schtick is there is even less incentive to change it
Auri Katarina is a saint 💕
I love that Finnish cleaning lady! She is doing such a kind thing for people who desperately need it.
Yeah Auri Katariina is a pearl for people like these. No judgement, just help to clean for free.
@@kingworm7168yeah of course if they want to live like that, then no point to call a person who cleans it all away
1:45 bed rotting describes deep depression, it’s not meant as a term for relaxing and being lazy. it just describes the deep depression spiral one goes through to the point of not eating or showering
It's just another serious phrase that has lost all meaning due to social media.
@TheHappinessOfThePursuit It's not by choice. Severe mental illness forces that situation onto them. It sucks for everyone involved. Shaming someone for being sick isn't constructive.
@TheHappinessOfThePursuitPeople who cannot brush their teeth are not "disgusting", they simply do not have the strength to do so, because they suffer from deep depression.
It’s not just depression, I’m a cleaner and the peoples houses I’ve been too, a lot of them just work a lot or work away, they don’t have the time or energy to clean, they just wanna rest.
Sometimes it’s depression fr but not always. Just pay someone else to clean if you are mentally or physically unable too.
@@szczurzautyzmzm the outcome of their lack of strength is pretty disgusting though
I love it when people turn the worst aspects of my mental illnesses into a trend so that people write me off as “being lazy” and “not really ill”
Oh man, apparently i was so trendy when i was severely depressed!
Jokes aside, its fine to just stay in bed and be lazy for a day, but once youre leaving moldy cups everywhere... time to see a therapist.
Yeah, I recognise a few things from my ex. He would befriend the mice in his appartment, which means he just let them eat everything and tried to pet them.
I mean, fair play, I befriended the jackdaws outside, but I am not doing fine either and the jackdaws are not eating my food and furniture.
Yep. If you can keep your space clean then it's just relaxing. I used to have the moldy cup shit when I was at my worse. Now it's just the world is expensive. If I'm paying to live somewhere I may as well hang out. Besides I'm just a lounger. What I'm gonna go to a restaurant and drape myself over the bench like a greek emperor beckoning for grapes? I do but people are soooo judgey about it.
@@Miyukazukii Hahahahahahahaha
That’s the problem, you’ve got to go outside or ask anyone for help 😢 and if you are that depressed you need someone to help you out a bit, check your national or local services phone line, emergencies whatever is called in your country and at least have a phone talk, it can help you get some help and a listening ear ❤
I find that having a clean, organized space helps my depression too. I feel less stressed
i used to 'bed rot'. it was shortly after my dad was hospitalized for covid-19. i was severely depressed. i refused to eat, refused to shower (my skin was sticky from excess sweat from just lying in bed with my bedcovers all day), refused to attend the online school (wasted about 5-7k USD and affected my GPA perm.), refused to brush my teeth (on weeks on end), and refused to clean up my room. i let the food that my mother forced on me sit on my dresser for days where it would be cold, dry, and have flies on it. there would be piles of plates and dishes. i had matted oily and itchy hair as well as itchy/irritated hair *down below* because i wasn't washing. i was cripplingly depressed for roughly a year like this, only taking showers when i couldnt stand the itching anymore and even then only using water, no soap. i sheltered and deleted my social medias which removed a lot of my friends (since i was always an online introvert). when i had to go to the bathroom i would hold it in and delay it until i couldnt anymore.
i don't know what they're going through, or if it's a fad, but it was a horrible life. i would never wish the mentality, negativity, loathe, hatred, and sadness i went through everyday on anyone. i pray for them, even if its just for show or not, to find the strength to pull themselves from it.
@@viablos455 I am so so sorry you went through all that. I’m also so proud of you for surviving it 💕
I’m so sorry. I hope your doing well. We love you. 💕
I hope you are doing so much better now. 💗
I felt that… sorry you had to go through that. Hopefully they’re getting help
@@kirausamaria5409 it's not that simple. it's not just being too lazy to get up, it's about genuinely not being able to. it's not like he/she/they didn't "support" their dad on purpose or that they didn't care for him or love him. this might be hard to understand if you've never gone through that, but that was still very insensitive of you. they said they had severe depression, for god's sake. depression affects how a person thinks, feels and functions overall. so it's not that simple and you definitely shouldn't blame them for this.
i literally started bawling my eyes out, seeing that poor man, slumped over half dead in the subway, dressed like a CEO.... its so sad that so many of us are struggling so hard and that stress and dispair is the normal
I assume he was drunk from the mandatory after working drinking in japan. Doesn’t make it better.
It hit me, all of the sudden, like a ton of bricks this year. I've been busting ass as a shipyard welder for 8 years now. I've made very steady and admirable progress in my career but I kind of just woke up one day and felt it was all completely pointless. I can't enjoy anything anymore because worklife drains everything from me. I've gotten help and I'm making good progress but I'm still scared to return back to the grind.
@@NoVanity1 fully understand. tired of being burnt out myself. wishing us both a lot of luck
i saw a girl whos bed rotting got so extreme that her clothes were rotting off her back, bed rotting is NOT a trend and ive experienced it first hand, i went WEEKS without showering, brushing my teeth, washing my face, or even eating. ive gotten better now, and i hope others do too.
Damn. There's a story of a woman who sofa rotted so much she basically melted into her sofa. It's really scary
Don't get me started on how hard it is to come back from that and be healthy/functional again 😭😭
Glad you’re in a better place now 🫶 you’re worth it
@@dw9524that story is not the same as this
That Story from rotten mango@@dw9524
I actually feel sick to my stomach watching that dude wash food😭😭 had me so shook I was barely disturbed by the bug girl cause I fazed out💀
i was eating my breakfast while watching, i didn’t expect it to be so gross 😭
I’m cooking dinner watching this and I had to step away for a sec YUCK
Oh my god same
i could almost smell the scent of that rice...you know when you forget to put your rice in the fridge and it goes bad 🤢 traumatizing odour
that guy has a mental problem he really needs to see someone
15:49 to answer your joke question seriously, the bugs are leaving her food alone because a lot of food we humans eat also happen to be food that are natural pesticides. Foods that give the flavor to things like onions, garlic, mints and peppers with capsaicin are natural pesticides. Even things like nicotine and caffeine are technically pesticides. Human involvement to enhance these flavors or effects beyond what naturally exist make them more potent, so given what the plants naturally produced, you can only imagine how intense they became once humans got involved. If an insect goes after food that has such ingredients anyway, then the food is very far gone from having molds and bacteria break down those natural pesticides to make it edible for scavenger bottom feeders like some roach species and many beetle species.
In conclusion: Eat 5 cloves of garlic in every meal and your kitchen will be left alone by bugs?
To think, ten years ago, I rememer warching a documentary about a Japanese hikikomori whose house ended up that way after his mom died (his dad had left them, iirc) and he spiraled into severe depression. It took him several years for his house to get as trashed as the clip shown at 3:30 .
And when the cleaning crew helped him clean and found pictures of his mom in the mess, he cried and thanked them.
I think there are a lot of people who are...not emotionally well. I didn't think anybody would intentionally do this, much less show it off...
😞
Agreed
no shit sherlock
That’s so sad… Do you remember what the documentary is called or where you watched it?
I used to judge obese people when I was an ignorant sh!t. And also people at school who didn't shower despite having the means. Both of them were touched as children and this was their defense mechanism...Ive also spoken and sat down and had coffee with people who were homeless and hearing what they've gone through...Basically I don't want to judge what someone is going through. And I know people will victim blame or be like "oh if that was me..." and I get it...we victim blame because we are afraid of things happening to us...the brain does things or thoughts that tries to protect us
@@udontevenwannaknowbruv I watched it on RUclips! Unfortunately I don't recall the title. I think it was either done by DW news, or NHK news (I was watching a lot of documentaries by those 2 networks at the time).
As someone who is disabled and mentally ill, I struggle with this to an extent. Luckily not to this level, but I am seriously concerned about the woman with the bugs. Not so much due to the bugs, but the FIRE HAZARD. Even if she is using an induction stove and not a hot plate, she must have things plugged in under all the extremely flammable material in her home.
This. It reminds me of my in-laws who are hoarders. Not this bad (yet), but it also gets worse with age
Or any oil splashes, or flour, you might not not think about the flour, but grain elevator explosions can and do happen simply from all the flammable particles in the air, just needs one spark and the air flow just wrong. But ya the electrical plugs under everything like that, is asking for trouble.
@@TheJadeFist Yeah, I've actually heard about flour and sugar explosions! I'm a bit of a weirdo, though, and like to watch these weird US government safety videos that cover stuff like that. 🫠
Yes, it’s sadly how a lot of hoarders end up dying
She’s recently been kicked out/evicted and now stays in a hotel. I really hope she’s doing at least a bit better!
Korea even had to have a national law instituted to limit work hours. It's now limited to 52 hours a week, max, which is still like 12 hours over a 'normal' 40 hours. And my friends from Korea complain about it because they wanted more hours to make more money.
can a latino who con assembly computers and knows javascript go to korea and get a job? asking for a friend.
IVE NEVER HEARD OF PEOPLE WASHING RICE WITH SOAP AND THEN EATING IT OMGGG. You can DIE from old rice and pasta, let alone stuff sitting at room temperature. *BARF*
right?? "never gotten sick" my ass, botulism isn't something you can avoid lmao. Not like flus where you can become immune to that strain, bacteria is mean...
wait how do you tell how old is too old im italian all i eat is rice and pasta and now i have fear
@@s-e-e-k-i-n-g it's just if it's been left out for a couple of hours without refrigeration
I’ve left my rice out overnight and it was fine to eat. I let it cool to room temperature and put it in the fridge in the morning when I wake up. It’s always been fine.
@@s-e-e-k-i-n-g ive had my food handlers card for years and for most food it goes bad after 2 hour unrefrigerated at room temperature, if the temperature is hot it will go bad after 1 hour. I toss leftover pasta and rice after 5-6 days so roughly a week, ive eaten 7 day old rice and been okay and I have a week stomach. The longer its left out the more dangerous it can get because its exposed and bacteria grows rapidly at warm temperatures. Preventing cross contamination between food can also greatly reduce the risk of food born illnesses. As long as its not left out of the refrigerator and not super old you should be okay.
so i'm affected by clinical depression. seeing this being "trendy" is super gross (like any other things considered bad but are still trending) and it makes me feel like shit.
bedrotting is not "relaxing and having a nice day off". bedrotting is genuinely one of the worst things because you barely function at that moment. you don't get up to drink or eat, use the bathroom, shower or brush your teeth.
on really bad days, plates,bottles and other packaging are piling up in my room and i feel so gross, that i have to force myself to take a shower and then clean everything up. like literally EVERYTHING. bedrotting is not fun, bedrotting is wanting to die without having to actually do something. you are literally mentally and physically rotting away from life.
Being in a messy environment made me feel even worse about myself, and it made my negative self talk HORRIBLE. I wouldn't even type some of the things I would say to myself... well, you don't have to imagine, you know. But for others, imagine being filled with so much self hatred and hopelessness, you don't even feel entitled to a comfortable, clean space. When you get used to the misery, you talk yourself into deserving it. 💔 Just that single aspect I wouldn't want to wish on another person. This s**t isn't glamorous; its slow rotting Hell.
This month I cleaned my 2 year depression pit, and it feels so good shedding the old stuff and getting organized. When I finished, I literally cried and apologized to myself.
true, i have a son and i especially feel bad when ive been in bed so much that i get to spend less time with him....
i never let my room get dirty like that tho, once or twice a day i go around and pick up anything that i left around, cups and plates go to the dishwasher 1/2 a day.
not keeping my room just makes me feel even worse so i try to keep it up, as its only a minimum effort.
for me its not really like i cant do anything but i just dont want to do anything
i dont want to get up to get food, i dont want to get up to use the bathroom, i dont want to get up to do whatever needs to be done, i dont want to soicalize etc.
i think its partly because of depression and partly because of add, maybe ptsd from a toxic relationship as well...
I have depression too and I actually like that it’s trending even if they’re conflating it with just being lazy in bed for a day. It normalises the idea of bed rotting and makes it seem less like you’re disgusting if you do it. Like if I told someone I stayed in bed all day they’ll just think I’m doing the trend which is nice. I like that it’s getting rid of the stigma and makes me feel more normal.
@@rachelcookie321 Normalizing it isn’t good though. It will cause people to assume what they’re doing is just normal and fine but it is actually a very serious health risk and something you need to seek help for. If it is causing people not to seek help, it isn’t good.
As another depressed person seeing people make this a trend like the original commenter said it’s gross.
I’ve unfortunately had depressive episodes where I wouldn’t take care of myself at all. I would only get out of bed to use the bathroom. I didn’t shower or brush my teeth or even change my clothes as gross as it sounds I just rotted in my own filth for weeks at a time. I probably would have been growing mold like some of the people shown in the video but thankfully my parents who were bringing me food would also take away dishes.
I really hope this trend goes away because bed rotting is not fun and should not be trendy.
i really appreciate the mold being censored, especially when haritsu started PLAYING WITH IT IT HIS HANDS
I literally screamed and threw my phone 💀 my bf thought I had a spider on my phone or something-what was actually on my phone was so much worse 😭
I don't. I wanted to see it.
Social media can make anything into a trend with enough validation after a post. I’m clawing my way out of depression & I refuse to glamorize it.
THIS!
wish you all the best
That's really it.
I see people say it's because of Japanese culture or Japanese people, but it's ridiculous.
Similar things are happening all over the world, and trends are what it's all about.
I cleaned my 2 year depression pit and dude, not a single bug!!
The glamoizing probably started with some genuinely depressed people making art about their experiences, trying to find beauty even in the ugliest of things. But like everything else, the internet took it, commodified and flattened it to the lowest common denominator, and spat it out like a quirky trend. I guess sharing neurodivergent experiences and raising awareness really is a double edged sword
being poisoned from left out/ old rice is a very real threat!!! no amount of dish soap and extra ingredients is gonna make it go away😱
Right like the dish soap may get rid of the bacteria but not any mold
I ate spoiled rice once..
I audibly gasped when I saw him pick up the rice from the floor and put it back in his container of old rice to cook 🤢
It can be outright deadly. If it's not being mistaken for salmonella or e. coli, it's because the illness it caused was that severe.
I don't even get it like if you're at the point where you think you need to literally wash your food with soap why don't you just. not eat rotting food like hello
As someone that bed rots (no, not glamorized, I'm mentally unwell and im really really trying to get better, buts it hard because im a young teen that isnt supported and rather threatened by their family) and this is SO bad. Im disgusted myself, even if ive lived like this, surrounded by old trash, mold, and bugs. I struggle so much, and then i see people living like this. Not trying to get better, putting themselves online, when they so clearly need help. This should only be put online for AWARENESS, not content.
It shouldn't be a "trend", it should be helped. That's that.
Well, I wasn't hungry before I ate this, now I may never be hungry again...I feel sorry for the neighbors of the girl, those roaches are paying them visits too.
In contrast, I watched this while eating dinner. Not sure what that says about me, but I feel the need to say that my dinner was freshly prepared without mold or rotting ingredients.
@@angryotter9129me eating my freshly made salad with the stuff from my garden (and fridge) completely fine watching roaches and moldy rice get jiggy
@angryotter9129 I just got food from chipotle so... at least my food has onky been left out for a day instead of 30
I don’t know id the landlords know cause they would care. That house is condemnable
@LottieLaRats what? No ew stop buying from there 😭😭😭 ppl be finding bugs in their salads literally disgusting
People really use any words on TikTok. Girl, it's called depression. I feel people will hide behind the fact that technically people can't diagnose you online, while literally showing themselves meeting the criteria. Yeah, we can't diagnose you, but we sure as hell can make an educated guess.
Is it actually depression when it's just a response to a world that won't allow them to reasonably live? If my only options were work 80 hours a week or become a NEET, I would NEET.
@@Ella-g2mI mean you could become depressed because of that, yeah
Ah yes the symptoms disease, when you have all of the symptoms but you can't self diagnose
The Goldwater rule isn’t a rule and only really applies to psychiatrists…it’s just considered best practice to not diagnose from afar because you can’t know from afar if the symptoms are caused by a medical or substance use issue. That being said, we all know extreme dis-order when we see it…something is going on.
Did you even watch the video?! This isn't about depression, this is about waking up, going to work and coming back home just to go back to bed. I just had a two weeks vacation, I've spent all of it in bed sleeping, not because I'm depressed BUT BECAUSE I'M EXHAUSTED!!!
You've never worked a day in your life and it shows. I'm glad that people are sharing the conditions they have to live in just to get a few bucks every month.
i have depression and when its bad sometimes seek out content like this just to feel something. disgust is better than nothing!
there must also be an element for many viewers of, 'at least my life doesnt look like this'
Hugs. We got this. I'm here with you, friend
I really think it’s depression. No one can lay in bed all day in a very disgusting environment with mold and garbage surrounding you. No fresh air. It’s not healthy.
I have had some days that I d just take care of my kids and lay in bed when I could letting my hygiene and house get wrenched. Definitely was depression. Snapped out of it eventually but ya it not healthy.
@@CorvidQueen87 I sincerely mean this, you should try reaching out to social services in your area. Not Child protective services, but maybe there is some sort of counselling program your mom qualifies for. Call, email, take pictures of the house. No kid deserves to live like that.
@@Beelzebubby91 My mom is currently in a therapy group and I have been lucky enough to get help from others. I think she is getting better but usually when I think that it just repeats. One of the reasons we are stuck is because it is a rental and we will have to clean it first. Our landlord is actually a really sweet person so there is a lot of guilt to stay and try to fix things but it isn't getting better. It is a housing desert and it is hard to find another place out here. My mom has multiple health conditions and she has big memory gaps and this makes it even harder for her to remember sources and help I try to offer. She's afraid people actually hate her and want her gone so she is always talking about moving really far from where I need to be, as if it will solve our problems. Overall just a difficult situation
those are all staged rage bait channels ....
They're cosplaying it. It's extremely embarrassing and nobody really dealing with it would put themselves in the spotlight by parading it online. It's another trend people use for attention and to fit in with certain groups, just like being emo/cutting your wrist was 10 years ago. Most of them have good skin and teeth but they're depressed? Get outta here with that
@@hunnid17 Said like someone who probably hasn't ever dealt with depression before. Depression and mental illness has been turned into a "trend" before but people aren't going to show it if it doesn't already exist in some form. Are you really trying to say a perfectly normal mentally stable person will slit their wrists for attention online? Or a person will just choose to live in complete filth and dangerous conditions for funsies? Come on.
Most of these people already lived like this and then found a way to capitalize off of it. While there are a lot of fakers out there, people who are actually harming themselves are not.
“Bed rotting is a trend.” I have chronic illness and am in bed far more than I want to be so to hear people call it a trend when it’s literally hell and depressing… is.. wild. With that being said, the way the world works with how tired and overworked everyone is, is so depressing and upsetting and angering. It makes me so sad that it feels like it will never stop…
I am informed with chronic illness too and this is is infuriating. Actually I'll people would do anything to get away from it. I spent years grieving for myself which is a position no one should be in.
Bed rotting isn't the same as being bed bound and it is a trend though.
It's a range from people rping mental illness to doing possibly f3t1sh content to actually having severe depression
@@Nylon_riot Man, do I ever relate to this. I’m so sorry you experience this too 😞 It’s definitely an awful feeling and experience.
Me too. I’ve improved a lot but there were a few years where I was “bed rotting” it was mental pain on top of physical pain.
It will stop…when the entire monetary system collapses.
I'm not diagnosing, just making a comparison, but the girl with bugs in her home, her pupils are REALLY dilated and that's what happens to me when I'm experiencing mania, so maybe she is experiencing some kind of episode from bipolar or schizophrenia. That or drugs. I hope she gets the help she needs.
legit hate that this is a trend. this is something i’ve struggled with since being a child and have to get help for from time to time.
Me too. I was homeschooled by a mom with mental health problems and now I'm in my 20s trying to learn how to take care of myself. I basically lost my sense of smell and have a lot of motivation and guilt problems not to mention chronic health problems that have been made a lot worse by living in hazardous environments most of my life. This being a trend feels dangerous to me.
@@scarletgoose8331yeah its the motivation problem for me too. Being in bed for ages makes you not want to get up. but its your own personal turtle shell to hide in.
Same! I’m about to be 30 and have struggled to clean my room for all of my life. I had some good phases where I was happy and went to school for my apprenticeship. But over the years it’s got bad again :/ posting from my bed next to a pile of clothes, dishes and nick nacks.. I’m trying tho. I’m part time bed rotting. I leave the house every day but once I’m home I spend most of my time horizontally 🫠
I'm also in my 30's and some of my family and mother are hoarders, though quite clean, the house is not too dirty, even presentable when guests come over.
I've lived in a house filled with too many unnecessary stuff my whole life. And now, I do too, have difficulties cleaning up my home. I'm trying to deep clean every 1 or 2 months. I do have a job, so I go out alot.
Yeah but now we're trendy, doing it before it was cool
it is soo harmful to call relaxing in bed bed-rotting and nobody acknowledges it
bed rotting isn't like an actual disorder or anything i don't think it's that deep..it's just a silly little phrase people use
I think when it starts being bed rotting is when it goes on for several days/ weeks and it’s affecting your health. Just taking a couple days to relax is definitely not the same as bed rotting!!!
@@zuliuszaesar It isn’t an actual disorder but it can be a sign of anxiety, depression or any other mental disorders!!! and also if there’s stuff/garbage piling up in someone’s room to the point that bugs start appearing then they surely need help😭
I figured it was a dramatic romantization, almost gothic in a way with an aura of Lydia Deets.
Apparently the Scottish call it a hurkle-durkle. Much better
I call that crippling depression. It’s nothing to aspire to, when I was mentally at my worst my surroundings were too which added to my self-loathing.
Nah, that guy is gonna be patient 0 for something eating compost food like that. Botulism is not something you want to have.
We’ll see him in a Chubbyemu video for sure
"She has roommates."
"Oh?"
"Bugs! Her roommates are bugs."
"OH... I thought you meant like, a human or two..."
Haritsu is also decorating herself and her apartment with her eviction notices if you were wondering what the stickers are
thats not haritsu. haritsu is a guy.
In one of her videos in her tiktok account she shows a warning from the apartment owner telling her to clean her room immediately due to complaints from the neighbors.
Reminds me of that one motel that Tophia stayed where the residents were complaining about how bad her room smelled
she's actually been getting eviction notices for months now. they even changed the lock so she can't get back in but she hired someone to break in for her
@@armyonce6962 Is this recent?? I done got 3 jobs while she keeps getting evicted!
@@armyonce6962 She said someone broke a key off in the lock. But she just had her host friends jump onto the balcony and unlock it from the inside. Since then she's been doing some insane lives on tiktok.
She also has videos showing the gangrene on her foot which this guy apparently didn’t watch. Or he chose not to include it because it doesn’t support his point. She was SAed in high school and had a psychotic break which led to her being institutionalized for over a year. Now she can barely manage to speak to men in public and can hardly function at all.
And here I am screaming if I see even one roach for the whole year. I can imagine living like this.
I live in FL, so I see them running across the damn street. The rainy season is the WORST cause then they seek refuge in houses. I hate that someone can be the cleanest person alive and the palmetto bugs still come running. (They like to eat the glue on carboard boxes and books)
And when you see one roach, best believe there a few more hiding out nearby. Ewww...
@@LottieLaRatsI'm awake in the middle of the night right now to have a snack and I just killed three giant roaches and a couple caught away :/
@StarlaBizarre Id start screaming 😭
You in your new haircut looks AMAZING. Like SLAY
Man, i've been living with moderate to severe depression basically my whole life and a lot of these look like my room. You might be surprised what you can learn to live with over time when things get bad slow enough. That thing about frogs jumping out of the pot right away if the water is already boiling but staying until they die if you start with lukewarm and slowly increasing the heat has always felt very relevant to my experience with mental illness. I'm lucky enough to have treatment now, though, and i'm trying to cultivate good habits now (nearing 30) that i didnt get to when i was young.
Anyway this video made me change my sheets and shower, so thanks ❤
Edit to update: Next day and I'm still working in my room! Need to swap laundry but my bedsheets and towels are clean, throwing in some basic clothes next. Sending updates/organizing plans to a group chat w my friends so i dont forget what I'm doing. Goal today is to make enough room on my desk for a paper organizer and finish my laundry
I remember my family joking about how I would become a hoarder later in life, just like the show. I wanted to keep people out for so long that I boxed myself in.
Stay strong! Just one step at a time. Little progress is still progress
2:28 That person looks like they're doing anything BUT enjoying their time in bed. That's a face that screams existential crisis and not knowing how to get out of it.
The way you got up and left the room when the cockroach was on screen🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was right behind you on that; I can't stand bugs
That video of the guy making rice is diabolical
Straight up disgusting
"Stress inducing procrastination"......uhhhh sir I will need you to exit my life!!
That hit me hard.
Dude. So true.
I’ve got to give you major kudos for this video-it really hits home. You nailed it by highlighting the constant pressure to grind and how it can push people into burnout. That bit about "bed rotting" as a coping mechanism is so on point. But you're also right-there’s a fine line between rest and letting things slide into something more serious, like depression. This is quality content that more people need to see. Keep shining a light on these important issues!
I imagine the guy fakes it by cutting the video while washing the food and replacing the moldy stuff with regular food. For the girl, I agree with those comments that she probably only spends time in that apartment when content creating.
I REALLY HOPE they are faking it. but idk...
i would hope so tho the girl seemed to have alot of insect bites on her legs and had a huge gash on her foot a month ago. It seems like she spend an odd amount of time to get such injuries.
Honestly it doesn't really matter whether she lives there all the time or not, cocckroaches will find their way into the other apartments. And when that happens someone will alert the management of the building and a company will be called to enter every apartment and apply specific non toxic pesticides everywhere. I'd be very very surprised if that wasn't the procedure in Japan as well... Her situation is quite baffling to be honest
Her poor neighbors have to live with the fire hazard and roach infestation.
I grinded non-stop for 2.5 years working for myself. It was never enough. Last year I was slowly falling apart without realizing it until the beginning of this year when my mind and my body made the choice for me to rest against my will. I almost lost my life because my mental health was so bad and I’m slowly recovering now but it’s a long journey ahead. Please take care of yourself and don’t feel guilty for resting ❤❤❤
Sounds like you failed your grindset. That wasn't your body falling apart, that was your willpower. Never give up the grindset and it'll never give up on you. 💪💪💪
@@Szriko I didn’t fail. The “grind” is unhealthy for humans and that’s not up for debate
@@Szriko or maybe they gave up the grindset because it gave up on them first, as clearly stated in their comment

unfortunately a lot of it comes down to corporate greed so unless we have regulations that force them to give us a better work-life balance it's not gonna happen ): it depends on the country too, but generally that's the issue. we do already know the answer - it's just that companies don't care bc it's not as profitable. they'd rather we burn out bc they can just replace us with other desperate people.
@@feraldeercolony exactly. Corporate greed. the thing is people want to quit their toxic workplace, but most of them LITERALLY CAN NOT AFFORD to stop working to get a break. Which leads corporations to keep overworking them, and yes.. rat race

We need to teach empathy to those who rule us...
I never got as bad as the examples in the video, but for about two years after graduating high school, I was a neet who wound up socially isolating myself severely. My social anxiety and agoraphobia got incredibly bad, to where I’d go sometimes 2-3 months at a time without leaving my house since I live with my parents and didn’t need to go to stores. It was a horrible way to live, and I’m incredibly thankful for my best friend slowly getting me back into theater, which slowly built my confidence back up and lessened my anxiety and agoraphobia.
Those two years were some of the worst of my life, and it’s a little tough seeing that lifestyle idealized/romanticized when I know firsthand how crippling it is.
But on the bright side, I’m in college now, and I’m a big part of my local community theater scene. So things do get better!!
I'm so glad your still here👏🏾💜🫰🏾
Way to go!
I am so proud of you! I was like you a few years ago as well. It was so difficult for me to leave the house and interact with people, and I often slept for days because my depression was eating me alive.
Fast forward, I was dx properly and I got the treatment I needed.. things are looking up for me too! All of August, I barely was home as I was out a lot. Some months I still struggle with the lows, but I remind myself that if I sink, I will float to the top again! 🧡 Progress over perfection!
hah im currently going through this
This happened to me during college, I suffered from severe depression and simply didn’t take care of myself (mold and all). I know mental health care is poor in Japan so I wonder if it’s less of a trend and rather the result of a major systemic problem. 😢
I went to therapy and I’m doing better now. ☺️ Here’s a gentle reminder to be kind to yourself. 💖 I hope everyone has a lovely day. 🌈
I have felt this! Went to the grocery a few years back, stopped, and thought, when does it end!?? Something in my brain broke I just left my cart in the middle of everything. Drove home and didn't cook or clean or wash anything. For like two weeks.
I have this too, where does it end, when does it rrally start, whats the point of it all?
A helpful reframe for housework I learned is to think of it as a cycle, not a task to complete. Laundry, dishes, cleaning are all pieces of the cycle that keeps you and your home taken care of. You deserve a home you are content to live in and you can't be 100% on top of it all at all times.
Oh honey I feel for you and I totally understand. The pressure and demands of society drive so many of us to want to end life early, when we all deserve to experience and enjoy life
Idk why, but when you said bed rotting, all I could think of was that one rotten mango video where this girl quite literally rotten into her parents couch. They ket her lay there so long she was covered in feces and eventually (like years latered) died on that couch. She quite literally became one with the couch, it was quite tragic
I love Rotten Mango!
I was much happier a minute ago when I didn’t know of this
Ohhhhhh I know the case you're talking about. I couldn't remember if the girl/woman was either handicapped and physically could not get up or what, but her folks did her so foul. Decomposing into a couch surrounded in a pool of your own funk while you're still very much aware and alive sounds like a fate way worse than death. I don't know how her parents could be okay seeing her like that
Locked-in syndrome. They sound like the same definition, for real.
@@sissysovereign1294she had severe autism, but not sure why she couldn’t get out of bed. Her parents went to prison for it.
I lived in an apartment down the hall from someone like the bug lady. Even though we kept our apartment clean, we still ended up with roaches because of our filthy neighbours. 🤮
17:44, I really love that you included this part. I am myself living in these horrible conditions, but as a child (13), I can't work and help my family or myself. Only thing I can do is work my way around my house to keep it decent. Thank you for spreading this awareness.
I'm so sorry you are going through that. Please do your best in school & try to spend time outside of your house if you can if it gets too much. If you get really discouraged, think of the future & remember you can do a lot of amazing things in time! I will be thinking of you! @minja-k7f
Whatever you are doing right now, it's helpful and great. Keep safe also~
I used to work for a charity that cleans up hoarders houses. This can be a symptom of narcissistic personality disorder because they become irrationally attached to items. The quality doesn't matter. Educate and protect yourself. I hope you can reach a life you deserve.
No it’s not? Hoarding is a subset of OCD, not NPD. Stop spreading misinformation.
Sorry to hear this 😢
We are NOT out here glamorizing hoarding 😭😭😭😭
It's like having my friend pass by when I'm in a depressive episode, except I'm the friend.
Bed-rotting just sounds like depression. Like, hard depression.
That is exactly what it is.
Thank you for blurring! 🤢 I've experienced bouts of depression where I got as disheveled and filthy as those two, but it wasn't by choice. I hope that it's just for content farming, and not really how they live. 💔 If anyone recognizes themself in those two - please seek help! You don't have to feel that way; your circumstances are temporary and change is possible! Take it from someone that's been there in the past and is doing much better today. Therapy helped me learn healthy coping skills and pattern recognition to head off trouble before it takes me down again. You can get better! ❤
This is why you can't eat at just anyone's house. This is gross!
the guy who eats rotten food and stuff makes me so viscerally uncomfortable as someone who is TERRIFIED of food poisoning and v*miting. i went vegan mostly to avoid food borne illnesses caused by improper cooking of meat and storage of dairy. this stuff is gonna be in my nightmares 😭😭😭
I'm sure you're aware of this but cutting out food groups out of fear of sickness is something you need therapy for - my buddy was like you, cut out foods and restricted her eating if she thought the food was dubious because of her emetophobia, and then went on to get diagnosed with an eating disorder. Therapy helped her out lots. Not to preach at you if you're aware of all this of course, just ignore
Fun fact if you're in the US:
We focused so much on meat safety standards that we totally neglected fresh produce. Now you're much more likely to contract food borne illness from veggies than meat!
@@mcowley895 cutting out some foods isn't a problem as long as your diet is healthy. all that matters is macros, nutrients and vitamins, all of which you can get from being vegan. the risk of catching disease from meat and dairy is often ignored. covid, swine flu, mad cow disease all came from animals

I love listening to this guy. His voice is so soothing and melodious.
I live in a small apartment, it's easy for trash and such to pile up-- partly because in Korea we have such an intense recycling system it's hard to sort and wash things everyday after work but I keep it all mostly organized. Last year my AC was broken and it caused some mold/mildew to grow because of the humidity and I got sick for months-- even so severely at times I couldn't talk and was getting hives frequently. I understand cleaning such can be hard when tired, busy, and mentally struggling but living like this can make things so much worse and hoarding to a level will catch up to you in the worst ways possible.
Seriously, Japan and Korea should adopt automatic plastic sorting like every other developed country. I mean, I admire peoples' dedication and skill in sorting recyclables, it's just too much in those small apartments having to collect several types of waste separately. Not to mention the time it takes for each individual to do it...
@R83145 even better, people should purchase less single use plastic items
@@shelby6Even even better: Goverments should regulate companies that use plastic in their products.
Even better better we should go back to using glass as to not poison ourselves with microplastics
Im glad you're speaking out about this that it is not quirky or fun, and is usually a sign of someone going through something!
washing rice w soap is INSANE work omg
imagine a content house of garbage influencers
oh god please no that place would start decomposing at the seams
And opened it up to the public for a small fee. A whole room dedicated to piss bottles (their version of a curio cabinet) and everyone leaves with a gift- scabies, bedbugs, dysentery etc

Sounds like a lot of y’all haven’t suffered from extreme depression… thought those who do it for an “aesthetic” are ridiculous…
Why re we acting like these people aren’t just doing this for money
I really believe that's the case
As someone who’s severely depressed and severely anxious, and to add on top of that, I’m also autistic and have adhd.
I almost have a phobia of leaving my house bc my social anxiety is that bad.
People make bed rotting a “trend” and they don’t see what others have to go through. My body has shut down and I’m struggling to fix it.
I’m almost 2022 and I’m going to go on disability.
I’m hoping that I can actually fix my mental health and room.
I hate the clout, the fakeness, and more.
But yes I do agree that what people to through there.. especially in school and jobs, do go through a lot. So I hope if people are going through things like I am… that life gets better and that we get through it.
I really relate and I feel like I've been raised to live my life as an apology. I was isolated throughout childhood really and that broke me. I've been doing better but not feeling comfortable or safe in your own home after full days of feeling vulnerable in public is not fun.
@@JK-jm9gz I’m so sorry. I relate to the isolation in the childhood part. Bullying to the point where i’ve now been diagnosed with cptsd. Thank you for sharing that. Healing is something that we can try to do, it might not happen right away, and we may not think we have healed.. but parts of us will slowly start to get better.
I'm sorry to hear this. Just try to take the process one step at a time, and find somebody who can support you through it whether that's in real life or online. You can get through this
I relate to this hard. I'm autistic and I also have severe depression and anxiety, which has been exacerbated by a marijuana dependence and sleep deprivation
I SCREAMED WHEN I SAW HARITSUUU!! I saw him a few years back on another site and so many of the comments were thirsting for him and I never been so disgusted and embarrassed about complete strangers before. Like, the morbid curiosity in which watching his videos pulls people in but in a nauseating way. I hope he gets the help he needs but he's so popular from this I doubt if he doesn't get horribly sick, nothing will change. 😰 Like, I am mentally ill so understand but this is definitely hitting an internet point of glorification or some weird voyeuristic sadism. Have your things but can we not... do this?
He 100% is so used to this that change seems scary, i hope he realizes he doesn't have to live that way for validation now :(
I'm sorry but he looks like he smells like human waste. Are people's standards that LOW???
Its staged videos for views. think a little
This is just depression with a different "trendy" name
I was itching all over SO MUCH when I saw the bugs casually crawling around in the girl's apartment. If stuff started piling up like this and bugs started appearing I would be too far gone for help mentally. Even at my worst (and that is coming from someone with 3€ in their savings account currently), I would not allow bugs to take over my room.
True!!! Like I’ve also been messy but never to the point where just bugs start appearing😭😨
I would literally cry if see all these bugs in my room🤢😭
At that point it’s not even choice. It’s a mental health issue.
Same, and I have like 15 mosquito bites on my legs too 😂
I was starting to gag wehen the other guy was eating moldy food🤢 But I see it as a good sign because reflexes signs of your basic instincts. It means I have self-preservation to never try this out myself.
Japan works long hours but damn are they so unproductive with their time. It's prevalent in every industry here ☠️
yeah, it's just mandatory to be there and look busy, and suck up to the right people, from what i've heard.
@@goldensloth7 even when they're trying to be productive you have a bunch of useless meetings during the day and then make up all the work you didn't get done due to said meetings with overtime
It’s largely because humans can truly only focus on work for 3-6 hours a day. So it’s literally impossible for their brains to function for the amount of hours they are being asked to. If companies started only requiring 20-30 hr work weeks I think that there would not only be a huge bump in productivity but also people would be healthier physically and would suffer less from mental health disorders.
And thats also a myth I dont even think they are in the top 20s of countries where people work the Most. The US is among the top 10 countries where people work the most hours and days, and so is Korea. Majority of the countries were people work the most according to Data are in latin America. Maybe Japans problem isn't about having no time, but finding what to do with their free time.
Isn’t there studies on this? After a certain amount of hours working it’s normal for productivity to take a huge dip.
The rotten food guy is wild. It almost made me 🤢🤢🤢 thanks for blurring most of it.

I seriously hope that guy who used that moldy rice was joking. That is so dangerous. Bad rice and bad grains make people super sick or kill them.
I call it bed rotting when I take a 10 minute break from cleaning 😅 I’m like okay it’s bed rot moment time 😂😂😂😂

@@alexrevolution1 yes 🥰
I want to thank you. I was trying to decide what to have for dinner. Not anymore. No more appetite.
I'm chronically ill/disabled and don't have a support network to help. I'm also living in poverty, struggling to afford food. I'm embarrassed to let people see where I live. Survival is a struggle, and I would KILL to live in a healthy, happy brain and body. This all smacks of neurotypical/able-bodied privilege. So many people would judge me/stigmatize me horrifically, yet these people flaunt it online?
I also used to live in a hoarder house (I am a child of hoarder). It was traumatizing to live there. I'd have panic attacks from how hellish that house was.
Our situations are vastly different (I'm not chronically ill/disabled nor in poverty) but I feel the same. I'd do so much to have a healthy mind that doesn't have me feeling like I've reached pure insanity each day, where I just wonder when it'll all end so I can *finally* enjoy what comes to me in life. And I'm embarrassed to think about people knowing how I spend most of my free time, just not really doing anything. If I'm not on my phone trying to distract myself from my thoughts I'm just lost in space. A lot of people would think it's laziness, and maybe that's the case, but you and I both know "laziness" doesn't exist in a vacuum, it's not uncaused
I know this may sound empty but I really do hope it gets better for you. I'm still more lucky in so many ways, solely cause of where and who I so happened to be born to. Not out of my own hard work but out of the circumstances of my birth, and it's so stupid how people's lives can be so drastically unfair and horrible because of way too many factors far, far outside of their control
All I can say for advice is if you haven't already, perhaps check if there are any services around you that offer support for where you're at? Logically you've probably done this already, but I thought it might be worth mentioning
How do you know they aren’t like you?
Also chronically ill and disabled here, with severe mental health issues. My house is a tip. I’m lucky we don’t have bugs everywhere but there is trash everywhere me so much stuff. Our place is a one bedroom unit and I live here with my Mom. My Mom sleeps on the couch. She’s also disabled (hereditary syndrome) and almost 70. The house is a mess, I’m a mess, I’d be too embarrassed to let anyone inside and I very rarely go out if I can avoid it. I have no friends and nothing to do and no future. We need help but getting it requires jumping through so many hoops that we just don’t have the energy for. I barely have the energy or willpower to go to medical appointments. I spend a lot of time sleeping because at least my dreams are interesting.
@@Flow-Fi- it would be nice if services were funded/not a full time job to even apply for much less fight fora access to. it's nearly impossible to get help where I am and everyone I know who's as sick as I am has to work practically a full time job just to try to deal with healthcare and whatever paltry social benefits they might be able to get. I know someone who was told their local rental assistance ran out of money months ago and to just not bother because the waitlist was so long.
I was diagnosed with depression at 13 and started showing signs as early as 7 years old (long, sad story). I'm 22 and it's never gotten better, I've just gotten better at managing it.
When I can't, you can smell my room down the corridor and up the stairs. Dishes, glasses and cutlery go missing and moldy. Shopping bags become rubbish bags. I find rotten fruit between my sheets and my skin when I wake up. My skin is sticky, itchy, and rashed. I'm a dead man walking as I bedrot, and then I am forced either by immense discomfort or concerned intervention to get things back in order.
My bedrotting has made me keep friends and partners at arm's length at all times. It impacted my studies so that I couldn't graduate with the rest of my cohort, and I was almost dropped from the degree entirely. Before that, it impacted my social life and attendance in high school. I was hospitalised last year for a staph infection after scratching at a rash on my thigh with dirty nails. My teeth are screwed.
Bedrotting isn't a cozy day in. It isn't just lazing around scrolling on your phone all day. It isn't being a pig for attention online. It's living s*ic*de.
Man your voice is so smooth to listen to and you're so chill and relatable. You deserve more recognition 🫡
the rice video made my skeleton cringe im
Hi swell
Swell!

99% of people who do this that arent doing it for content are dealing with something and i hope they will be fine ,cleaning your environment and organize can be really beneficial for mental health so in case you feel bad for a while ,try allocating half a day to an activity similar to that ,it will make you not think about the stresses of the world .
One thing that you might not be recognizing as someone not in Japan, but trash disposal rules are really strict here, so I think that it might be harder to get rid of stuff even if you want to. For example, I can only throw away cardboard or paper products every second or fourth Thursday of a month, plastic bottles on Fridays, other plastics on Wednesdays, and other trash on Fridays. But I have to call the city and pay an extra fee if I want to throw away anything that's over 30cm long. I currently have a trash bag on my balcony that has been waiting for Friday since yesterday.
that's what I was thinking too, it's sad bc someone who is obviously as unwell as she is just has another hurtle to jump through and diminish their chances of it actually getting done. I can't imagine having to sort all my trash and i'm NOT mentally ill 😭 I wish someone would intervene and help them
Thank you for mentioning this. I’ve lived in Tokyo for over 15 years, and every time I move, I have to learn a whole new set of trash rules and their schedule. It’s such a pain in the ass. I’ve come up with systems to deal with it, but I admit I had more trash than I wanted in my first apartment here because of the crazy rules.
They should fix that. Is there a logical explanation as to why they make these draconian trash laws?
That’s crazy
Having to pay and call to get trash removed sounds like such a big piece in all of this wow
Relaxing and recharging in bed can be called "bed fermentation" 🌱. You are in a state of processing tiredness and stress into energy and relaxation. It turns into bed rotting when the tiredness and stress are so overwhelming you get stuck in a cycle and can't use the nutrients, it all starts to rot.
❤
My last job was cleaning biohazards including hoarder houses, which these very much are imo. The girl in the apartment with all the roaches- people absolutely sleep and eat in places that look exactly like that, the smell is exactly as horrific as you’d imagine if not worse, and the trash is usually nothing compared to the bathroom (I’ve seen foot-high piles of human poop). In my experience it comes from incredibly severe mental illness, trauma, or otherwise crisis of some kind.

Bed rotting happens to me as my seasonal depression. My rooms are mess and I can’t bring myself to leave my bed and when I do I get questioned about why I’m out of the house when I’m broke… when like all I want rn is to go get a drink and watch the sunset. Something that does genuinely heal my soul. But I get judged even for that 😢
THANK GOD SOMEONE HAS TALKED ABOUT THIS BECAUSE I STUMBLED UPON HER ONE DAY AND I WAS REALLY SCARED FOR HER! 😭 Even joined a live. Didn’t know what was going on. She was speaking so fast. People really didn’t know what she was saying.
I think she's having a manic episode myself. At least I'm not the only one who randomly got her on my FYP and thinks she speaks way too fast to truly comprehend.
Honestly bed rotting is romantisized as with any negative thing that becomes trendy or popular
It's a way for human brains to 'be able to understand' things without worrying too much about it.
The brain wants to give it a calm spot or convince itself that the issue has been solved. That is why open endings in movies bother people.
I notice it with myself, all the time, only with things that I have been through, am I able to completely grasp the severity of issues.
For example, if someone says they got a former ISIS-slave rescued and she is now 'living in the USA with her new, loving husband" then some might romanticise that.
I was never an ISIS-slave but I know PTSD and I know she is waking up every few hours, puking and vomiting and crying and she will not be able to be romantic with that man for a long time. So I cannot make that romantic in my head.
Then there is people that come from a poor city in Poland and go to a rich country in West-Europe. Immediately, my brain thinks: "Oh, they must be so happy and grateful!'
Instead, the Polish person I am talking about, is constantly fearful about the government coming in to take their stuff. Doing checkups on money, bringing her back 'home' and putting her back into a state of constant hunger and fear.
I was unaware of her life there (when she was a child, mainly, not saying Poland is currently like this) so I romanticised it. Why make it worse in your head, would your brain think. Just fill in the blanks with positive stuff. Easier to digest.
Only after watching documentaries on war, poor countries, dictatorships, etc. will I (and people) understand a bit about it.
People always think from their perspective and from a luxurious position, if they're in one. They don't consider all the details that they don't know.
Like an acquintance that I know, who blatantly told me he would love to live in Russia, especially in towns or cities that would be under strict KGB-kinda controll.
He said he found the idea exciting, he would rebel and 'fight back' and hang posters with anti-Putin stuff on the wall.
It all seems exciting, until you realise you wouldn't have any privilege there. You would 'simply' lose everything you own or get tortured in prison for murder and get thrown out with a 'oh sorry, wrong person' kindof attitude, if they can't easily frame you for your actual illegal poster-sticking-deeds.
There is nothing romantic or enjoyable about an actual depressive situation. What he dreamed of was being the change and keeping others upbeat, which is a great thing to dream about, but you should do that without trivilazing the situation for the people going through it.
TLDR: Yeah.
@@Widdekuu91 This is a great comment, and I wish I could broadcast it if it meant putting a dent in society's current "it ain't happening to me so it's probably not that bad/doesn't exist" mindset.
@@Window4503 Well, if you ever get a podcast, feel free to read it aloud.
This reminds me of when I was suic*dal. Why is this a trend? It feels mocking of people that are so deeply depressed.
