  • I created this docuseries about my struggles with depression and the challenges of caring for my mother, who has paranoid schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. I wanted to create something beautiful, positive and useful from something so negative and debilitating. You could say I created this series as an act of revenge - depression isolated me, making me want to hide in shame and suffer alone. I’m trying to do the exact opposite with this film - turning outward, hoping my story will connect with people, and inspire, educate and provide hope for those who need it.

    Not for me - but because someone you know, love or care for may need you, but be too afraid to ask for your help. Depression can make you feel (or feel like you want to be) invisible. We’re hiding, we’re trying, and we’re barely surviving - and we need to know we’re not alone.
    By sharing my videos, you are helping me connect with those who desperately need a connection. The author Johann Hari named his best-selling book about depression ‘Lost Connections,’ because that’s what depression does - it isolates you. Every new connection brings new hope, and who knows? Sharing my story might be the thing that leads someone to ask for help or even saves their life. You could create that connection, just by clicking ‘share.’

    Thank you.Being real,raw and honest about your depression is not going to lose you friends. Unfortunately it does make you realise how much people do NOT understand about depression-it doesn’t matter what you tell people. Unless they’ve been through it. And I’ve been going through it for 20 yrs but the last 10 have been the worst. Only my family truly understand 😢
    Love your work John, keep being you❤️

I failed a load of school tests because I couldn’t get out of bed and I know what it’s like to look and watch everything leave your life. It’s horrible. Thanks for this video because it reminds me that I’m not alone. Hope you get better 😀🤘

    Well I do not understand society anymore because social media has become the "gathering" spot for people who want to talk. It is only very intimate and it does not protect one from people who like to bully. We as a society should take a break from social media. It is so easy to do trash talk behind a computer screen....oh whatever conversations like these ....well what can I say

    Not all depression is situational. There are people who have it despite not having any problems. There are many people who don't get relief from normal antidepressants. Ketamine is a therapy that is common in the USA and it needs to be common in other parts of the world too. My doctor in the USA has had many patients from Europe, NZ, Australia etc. It doesn't work for everyone but it does work for about 60-70% of people who haven't been helped by ordinary antidepressants. Governments should make it easier for doctors to prescribe. It is a cheap drug and although there might be some side effects, in my experience, the side effects of normal drugs were far worse and they didn't work well anyway. It is also helpful for bipolar depression and PTSD. Anyway, I hope everyone who suffers from depression finds something that helps them. Severe depression is not the blues or a pessimistic personality, and is difficult to explain to people who haven't experienced it. Love to all.
