I have seen Anne Hathaway in several other things, and it seems as if she is always spot on. This is no exception, and as an Amazon Prime member, now I will have to watch this. So many really good things to watch, without a huge budget to make things go boom!
Psychiatry is the problem not the solution. This depiction shows someone crushed by a psychiatric label and not the reality of her emotions. She is mindfucking herself trying to fit into the box psychiatry made for the ebb and flow of her life. How the hell would she know she will become "manic" later that night? Please stop these facile and myopic diagnoses that pigeonhole people for life and prevent people from thinking for themselves you all look ridiculous. Life is not an afterschool special. We are human beings with free wills and by virtue of this fact everything is unpredictable.
@@lindseysimmonds678 -- Her words AND ACTIONS were congruent. It can be easy to say "I'm here for you" it's a different thing to really truly be present for someone. A really powerful scene.
I honestly have not been an Anne Hathaway fan - I succumbed to the negative press - but this performance was so masterful and empathetic, I'm curious now about what she'll do next. I'm so impressed by this.
Her name is Quincy Tyler Bernstine. She’s played in quite a few roles over the years. The Good Wife, Blue Bloods, and most recently, she played Tameka Robinson on the show Power on Starz. 💕
I live with depression. And even though is not the same, this episode really got me. I love how they represented this. The acting. The story. The realness.. just all. And reading all the comments, so many stories.. We need to talk more about this.
@Carbon Proksi I would love to read it. I have been diagnosed with anxiety and MDD. Or I would like to purchase a copy when it is published. Can you tell me what the name of it will be? Congratulations on your hard work, and thank you for writing your book to help others.
The "mmhmm" Anne Hathaway gives after 1:27 after she asks if they want to get lunch absolutely kills me. What an absolutely fantastic performance. One of the best TV episodes I have ever seen.
This is why Anne Hathaway is so magical. It's just as heartbreaking as amazing to watch her guiding you through such a complex process. She's a queen. One of her best performances EVER.
I cant get my head around how good Bernstine Is. Those Little movements, the tone of voice, how She moves the Cup aside and how She pulls the napking from underneath the cutlery. Love love love her
Never seen this show, but if this three-minute clip is indicative of the phenomenal performances I can expect, I'm adding it to my list immediately. Holy moly, how could I suddenly care about these characters so much, connect to them so deeply, and feel exactly what was happening? Only three minutes, but it feels like I was part of that conversation and invested in their story. Just... WOW.
Man, this scene moved me - particularly when she cancelled the meeting. I was a cutter for nearly 30 years, but no one ever knew. I decided one day to tell a friend, and it felt like a burden had been lifted off of me like I never imagined. The friend just sat and listened too me talk about it; no judgement. I haven’t cut since. I don’t know what it was about revealing this secret to someone, but having them understand and empathize removed all of the shame I carried from it for all those years. I wasn’t the horrible person I thought I was.
I think that speaking to someone who truly listens to you reaches a place deep within us that helps us to heal our hurts and realize that we are someone who is heard and seen, that we matter. At least that is how I feel. I'm glad you have your friend. I truly hope you will never ever feel the need to cut ever again.
Guilt makes us repent from something, but shame will keep us locked in that behavior forever because we identify with it. Glad you're out of that place.
As somebody with BPD (borderline personality disorder) this scene makes me so emotional in a good way. On one hand it is triggering because we spend so much time trying to hide and mask our illness that it does feel like an elephant is standing on our chests. On the other hand, seeing the empathy and compassion of another human when hearing about people being bipolar or having BPD or any other mental illness, it is the most euphoric feeling because FINALLY somebody understands the hell inside my head. And that's all we want.
I used to be this kind of friend... But I had problems of my own that I neglected and one day the whole thing blew up in my face. I broke down... Almost went nuts; not a single one of the friends I was there for in their tough times stood by me... They left me in the lurch. But now I'm my own best friend... All the love and understanding I once gave away I now give myself and I'm happier than I ever was. I don't even miss them! Good riddance!
Yes. Your comment is heartbreaking but yet so true and beautiful. I guess we are all supposed to get there, loving yourself by yourself, while get hurt and loved time to time.
I had the same experience,right now I loss all contact with my friends except for few family members(my choice) since I felt my energy been taken away pretending to save others when I was dying myself inside ,I couldn't be this pretentious person that I'm so happy and can be there for anyone,when inside I'm dying. I have realized I need to save myself first then others since this others never there when I needed them the most. As if I was giving them bad vibes that I couldn't share to them either. I loved here scene with Anne Hathaway,her friend is willing to help and listen. Sometimes,people do hear you but they don't listen!!! I wish we all heal and feel better of ourselves. Even my family members don't have idea of my mental health,they feel like I'm doing for attention when I share about my mental health,how I'm feeling.
@@juleteom4236 for what it's worth... In this hard time I pray you find all the strength you need to see you through. From what you have narrated I know exactly how you feel. Till this day there are times that I feel deep loneliness and pain...its hard for people to understand us because we seem to have it altogether from the outside but truth is we don't want to burden others with our struggle. No matter how strong, everyone needs someone to understand and be there for them time to time. Unfortunately some of us never have that... So be there for yourself when no one else is. Validate yourself. Never give up on yourself even if everyone else does. Stay strong as you have untill now... Sending you love and hugs❤️❤️
As someone who struggles with depression extremely heavily, this was incredibly emotional to watch. Having someone like that in your corner makes such a monumental different🥺🥺
Anne Hathaway is always been a phenomenal actress but on this episode she raised the bar even higher. What a performance. Her face when her friends cancels the reunion, that absolute shock of being accepted. Perfection.
A scene that models responsibility, maturity, openness, trust, risk, courage, on the part of a person with a common disabling mental illness. And responsibility, skill, compassion, respect, appreciation, commitment from an able-minded person.
Having bipolar disorder myself along with other challenges. This speaks to me in such a real raw way. The sad part is that a lot of people feel they suffer a lone when there are so many people like this.
Sobbing rn, my psychiatrist told me today I may be bipolar. I’m having trouble coming to terms with that possibility. What a wonderful performance by Anne, as well the actress who played her friend/coworker. We are all worthy of so much love, even and especially when we don’t feel like it.
I had the same diagnosis but I can’t tell anyone cause I’m having a hard time accepting it. How’s it going rn?
Год назад
@@user-bv5sq9dy7w I am at the same situation, I had the same diagnosis but I don't have the courage to tell anyone, I'm still processing this. How are you two dealing with this rn?
I watched this storyline over and over again it still guts me. First time I've ever seen the realities of being Bipolar portrayed with such honesty. That look on her face I've done it so many times. You get used to expecting the worst that when people surprise you, you don't know how to react. I was 21 when I was diagnosed and it's a struggle maintaining a life. Having to prove you are just as capable as everyone around you. My last job was so amazing and accommodating. I didn't disclose I was Bipolar but other issues I did. They were so understanding it broke my heart when I had to quit for my health.
My sister suffers with bipolar and I suffer with clinical depression. This movie beautifully and mindfully shines a light on those who suffer with mental health. This encourages me. I and my loved others are seen and head. I feel less alone. ♥️
Me too, people misconstrue it as manipulation or something to make them feel guilty when we are low. When we are hypomanic we are magnetic and productive. Then they want us. Then it goes too high sometimes. And then back to normal. I’ve always functioned. This has been the worst depressive period for years. I mask it for my child and give her her best life. Inside I’m in bits. And watching this, so touching, knowing humans do care, rather than seeing us as hard work and a burden
Ms. Hathaway has done a lot of “fluff films” without much to work with.. but My God! When she has good material and a solid team behind her.. I find her irresistible, vulnerable, beautiful and exquisitely moving. She just keeps getting better.
Ok, I just started watching Modern Love today and started crying in episode 2 but this had me sobbing! The good kind! I am not bipolar, but dealt with heavy depression severe times in my life. I have never seen a good and realistic presentation of the down phases you have with this kind of mental illness, but for me Anne Hathaways performance just was so on point. Absolutely brilliant and for me the best performance I have ever seen from her!
This got me. Anne really did an amazing job. I'm bipolar, been one since i was 16. And I'm sobbing while watching this! Amazon! Whyyyy? Im pretty broke right now. Hahahaha
My daughter has been diagnosed with bipolar for years. I lost my daughter because of bipolar disorder. This brought me to tears and I am a father of a daughter that has lived her life in hell. Very upsetting series movie but I was compelled to watch it because I still miss my little girl. Michael Newell from Niagara Falls,Ontario, Canada
@@michaelnewell3823 , I'm so sorry, Michael. My eldest brother is bi-polar, severe, 64, still living w/mom. It's been hell for him and not much less for those of us who love him. I hope you rest in knowing your daughter is not suffering. Blessings to you. Robin in Ks.
Anne is incredible, man. Her expressions and her vulnerability on screen can really make you empathize with her to the point where you forget she's just acting. It breaks my heart when I see her in any movie crying, she's that powerful of an actress. She's my favorite by far.
I cried so hard when I watched this episode. My partner is bipolar and we related to this on so many levels. Besides, I believe it was respectfully treated (the bipolar disorder) and A.H. did an amazing job (and so her friend, played by Q.T.B.).
This scene really helped me understand it’s not people with mental illnesses that are the problem ( i’ve had issues and now i’m better and always blamed myself for not connecting as much as i wanted with others) but the people around them acting as if they can do anything about it and not supporting them. And it is true, even one good friend, can make that difference. People just don’t know how much it takes to just not give your life up altogether. The shame, the blame the ‘not fitting image’ gives power to the illness. Sometimes we just need kindness and a little bit of patience. Amazing eye opening scene. I need more of these.
A close friend recently told me they’re bipolar. That did surprise me because I thought it was ADHD. I’ve never seen her anything other than cheerful and upbeat except *one* time where she only cried a little. She told me some stories of what she was like in the past and I was horrified. She sounded like a whole other person, scary and violent. But she’s such a sweet person and such a good friend. She found meds that work well when she was 22 so her life has been mostly happy and stable since.
Please be there for her if she’s not though! Even with meds, bipolar disorder is a life-long struggle. She may not always have great days. Thanks for being a food friend!
In my daughter's Twitter feed there was a thread about "How do you say 'love' in your profession?" and one of them was a researcher who writes medical papers and submits them for publication. She wrote "Accepted without revision." That sentence struck me to the heart, because I had just found a friend like that, and I feel the same about her - accepted without revision. Best friend I've ever had.
Anne’s acting in this scene in superb. Off the charts. I’ve never had a friend like this. Even though I’ve always been there for the people I thought were friends.
This made me want to take a chance and tell some close friends about it. Maybe I will maybe I won't. But having this accurate depiction of bipolar out there makes me glad. Hope people start to see it just as you would see a physical illness. I have migraines and IBS too and I have used them as an excuse to hide my bipolar. But that still couldn't explain my flakiness to people sometimes. If only we can be honest and be accepted.
This is unbelievable literally I can't stop watching it's like watching yourself when you're bipolar. What she says do you want to go to the movie sometime do you want to get a drink do you want to see people that's how you feel in your head you want to do all those things so bad but then the low comes and you can't move and you don't want to do anything you can barely survive. And it sucks.. your head and your heart hurt and they're so conflicted and you just want so much to be in that productive manic State I was in a manic frenzy for about 49 years when I hit the wall I hit a thousand miles an hour. Give people a break man you never know what they're going through ✌️
I come back here often, it's so comforting to see the way she welcomed her and the true meaning of friendship, even if it's in fiction. Better days will come!
I'd love to say that talking to someone about it feels like an elephant's foot is off my chest, but for me, I feel like a burden when I open up. Even with a great support system. It's just me and I internalize it all in. The only time I open up is when I'm manic and have pressured speech. Then when I'm depressed I regret telling anyone. I hide away from everyone in shame that I am the way I am. I've had bipolar since a young age and I've still never loved myself for the reason that I'm controlled by this illness. No pity. Just relating hard right now to this wonderful scene.
Thank you for saying this. I usually tell one of my best friends when I am having suicidal thoughts because my rational mind believes that they'd rather be annoyed at me that grieving me. But I feel immensely guilty everytime I do that and then sometimes even when things are not so good, I end up enduring it quietly
You are not controlled by it. Absolutely not. Don't believe that about yourself. Are psychiatrists telling you this? Is Hollywood telling you this? Listen I am bipolar too but one day I stopped believing the things that everyone told me I was. You do not have to see yourself via the lens of psychiatry. You are in charge of you. Okay!
I just saw this chapter and it hit me really hard. I live with anxiety and depression and the most of the time my sickness get in the middle of my relationships and work. Sometimes it's really hard to enjoy life.
If only it went down like that with people I have known. It takes a lot of courage to speak up and tell someone. It takes even more to learn who you are and accept it for yourself, so that you CAN even reach out in the proper way (like this) to the loved and trusted people in your life. Bravo for showing us the way. 💜
I cry every time I watch this. Having realistic portrayals of people with chronic mental illness is so, so helpful. There are some pretty horrific and harmful portrayals of those with bipolar disorder out there. We're just people.
i have watched this many times, and honestly have never been so convinced about the acting in a scene, this was actually incredible and anne hathaways performance was break-taking, wether you can relate or not this felt so real. genuinely some of the best acting i’ve ever seen, if anyone has any other similar scenes like this they could recommend to me i would be very appreciative!
Being someone diagnosed with this ailment, she got it right on the money. It's terrible to constantly feel low and have this constant heaviness in your chest that just won't go away. No matter how much medicine you can have for all the self help books you read, it's just a constant sensation that never goes away.
Anne Hathaway is such an amazing actress. This is one of her best performances. Another great movie of hers is Love and Other Drugs. Those of you that hasn't seen it I highly suggest you go and watch it it's fantastic.
Every time I see this scene it makes me cry. You feel the weight of her loneliness and how scary it must be to speak this truth aloud to another person. It just stabs me right in the feels.
When I watched this episode, it felt uncomfortably familiar, but my God the accurate portrayal. Anne Hathaway did an amazing job. Both the writer and Anne deserves an award for mini series
I just got diagnosed as BPD and I have no friends or relationships. It feels like I am holding the weight of the world inside me. People like this... moments like this.. in these rambling, ugly fragilities... they save lives.
This episode was phenomenal. I loved the way they highlighted mental health struggles. - And the way her co-worker dealt with the situation at the end. How beautiful!
This was the best episode, and the best scene. Both women really put it over. It's so easy to relate to, whether you're bi-polar or the friend of someone who is. It can be very frustrating to call someone you've been close to and they repeatedly don't respond. Then, suddenly, they're back all bubbly, like nothing ever happened. Unless they reveal their disorder, you are left wondering. I suspect this is true of one of my best friends, who has ghosted me for months. Every time, I vow never to speak to her again, but I love her because she's "the most fun" I've ever been around...when she's around...
What’s truly amazing about this scene is how the actress who plays Anne Hathaways friend is so much more than a friend. In just two minutes, she portrays, mother, father, sibling, colleague, boss, confidante, therapist... almost everything a mental unwell and suffering person would need in the world. Amongst all the things in a wonderful three minute clip, it’s so understated how she corrects Anne Hathaway with just a look when she uses the word ‘crazy’ flippantly. This is a great scene made so real by insightful writing and sensitive acting. Thank you.
Anne Hathaway is an angel and I reckon this is her best performance. It's really important for representation like this for those of us with Bipolar difficulties to see people being supportive and caring about it
This scene is both beautiful and frightening for me. I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety 15 years ago, but I have suffered with them most of my life. I wish I were brave enough to tell someone, anyone how much my illnesses affect me. I don’t think anyone in m6 life actually knows me. I’m sure that bipolar disorder is much more severe. I struggle so hard, and I can’t imagine anything worse than this.
Is really awful.. We have good periods but when the bad ones came is not easy. And feelings toward persons are not stable. One day you like to go out. Next day you barely can go out of bed.😔
This clip makes me feel better. Im not diagnosed bipolar: dont even have symptoms this severe, but I have low periods in which I feel zo anxious and sad. It just makes me feel okay when I watch this.
Anne Hathaway will always have my love and respect for her amazing talent. I'm so happy she's giving a voice and exposure to people who suffer from this debilitating disorder.
This was an amazing performance that does not feel like a performance but like truth. It is a truth so many of us live with. I have Anxiety and Depression. In recent years I just started telling people about it, but tried to hide it for years because of the stigma. I appreciate this clip and will look for the show on Prime.
This made me sob like a baby🙃 I have bipolar disorder and i lost loads of friends within 2 years because of my swings I know what it felt like everything’s your fault even if it’s not all on you

Her face when she canceled her meeting broke my heart. She would never expect anyone to put her first, no one.
And when she puts her phone away in her bag. So powerful, it's "I'm here in this moment, no distractions."
@@lindseysimmonds678 -- Her words AND ACTIONS were congruent. It can be easy to say "I'm here for you" it's a different thing to really truly be present for someone. A really powerful scene.

How long it last?
Yes-yes
I've always been a fan of Anne Hathaway but her performance in this series was probably some of her best work I've ever seen. She really killed it.
I honestly have not been an Anne Hathaway fan - I succumbed to the negative press - but this performance was so masterful and empathetic, I'm curious now about what she'll do next. I'm so impressed by this.
I think she changed that was her younger days. She matured I think
She has always been very under rated as an actor.
Agree completely - this is breathtaking acting! My wife and me were fascinated by Anne, when we watched the ML-Series with her yesterday!
Absolutely devastating
Everyone is talking about Anna but I really like the other character, she was empathetic and understanding. Hard to find such people in real life.

@@sabrina.natalie I knew her in grad school. She's like that in real life, too
@@sabrina.natalie thank you for that. I really love Bernstine in this performance, and She Is good as much as Hathaway Is
For me, her character was written in order to give real people a guideline as how to react when one of your friend tells you he is bipolar.
Real

Don’t downplay your depression. I have bipolar disorder and the depression is definitely the shitty part haha
Hang in there ❤️ everyone on this planet has a purpose , take care
right thats what i felt like. depression is debilitating and paralyzing. keep fighting we have to ❤️
"How does it FEEL telling me?" Oh, my, this is a life-changing question to someone in the throes of trauma and grief.
I love when she canceled the meeting. I think that might've been when the tears came. Such an impactful episode.
one of the greatest things someone can do for someone whos in pain
Quincy Tyler Berstine makes this work. The amount of empathy and love she shows anchors this whole scene.
Hmm, she came off as kind of cold to me. Anne Hathaway makes this scene work.
She was amazing. She gave her friend the floor to explain, but gave empathy, patience, and care. It was beautiful
@@jenniferlawrence9473 are you blind? She started off as her ex boss, then became a true friend. Can’t get better than that.
"You want to get lunch?" is now one of the most beautiful movie lines I have ever heard.
Anne Hathaway deserves so much more acclaim than she receives. This scene is immaculate: by both women.
"You want to get lunch?" is one of the nicest support lines I've ever heard
The "mmhmm" Anne Hathaway gives after 1:27 after she asks if they want to get lunch absolutely kills me. What an absolutely fantastic performance. One of the best TV episodes I have ever seen.
Right? To me it portrays that feeling of restrained desperation for needing the company of someone who understands and cares.
I cried so hard watching this episode. I wish we all had someone willing to listen, hold our hand, let us cry and just be there.
Gosh you're gonna make me cry again 😕
Me too. I cried like a baby. I now play this episode for every man i get serious with.
This is why Anne Hathaway is so magical. It's just as heartbreaking as amazing to watch her guiding you through such a complex process. She's a queen. One of her best performances EVER.

"Tell them I'm sorry."
The confusion on Anne's face is exactly the kind of look I've seen and felt when someone puts you first, when no one else has.

My sister suffers with bipolar and I suffer with clinical depression. This movie beautifully and mindfully shines a light on those who suffer with mental health. This encourages me. I and my loved others are seen and head. I feel less alone. ♥️
Me too, people misconstrue it as manipulation or something to make them feel guilty when we are low. When we are hypomanic we are magnetic and productive. Then they want us. Then it goes too high sometimes. And then back to normal. I’ve always functioned. This has been the worst depressive period for years. I mask it for my child and give her her best life. Inside I’m in bits. And watching this, so touching, knowing humans do care, rather than seeing us as hard work and a burden
Ms. Hathaway has done a lot of “fluff films” without much to work with.. but My God! When she has good material and a solid team behind her.. I find her irresistible, vulnerable, beautiful and exquisitely moving. She just keeps getting better.
She was in a movie called 'Havoc ' a few years back. Check that one out.
They both performed so well like real. Anne Hathaway is incredible.
In this clip alone you have made me fall in love with both characters. I will be watching this
Ok, I just started watching Modern Love today and started crying in episode 2 but this had me sobbing! The good kind! I am not bipolar, but dealt with heavy depression severe times in my life. I have never seen a good and realistic presentation of the down phases you have with this kind of mental illness, but for me Anne Hathaways performance just was so on point. Absolutely brilliant and for me the best performance I have ever seen from her!
"like an elephant has taken one of its feet off my chest".
That one sentence hits very hard.
This got me. Anne really did an amazing job. I'm bipolar, been one since i was 16. And I'm sobbing while watching this! Amazon! Whyyyy? Im pretty broke right now. Hahahaha
You have bipolar, it doesn't define you, at least that's how I try to see it 💗
Yup it's very cathartic. Was going through a rough phase. Watching this made me feel a bit better.
My daughter has been diagnosed with bipolar for years. I lost my daughter because of bipolar disorder. This brought me to tears and I am a father of a daughter that has lived her life in hell. Very upsetting series movie but I was compelled to watch it because I still miss my little girl. Michael Newell from Niagara Falls,Ontario, Canada
@Michael Newell sending you and your family so much love ! 💕
@@michaelnewell3823 , I'm so sorry, Michael. My eldest brother is bi-polar, severe, 64, still living w/mom. It's been hell for him and not much less for those of us who love him. I hope you rest in knowing your daughter is not suffering. Blessings to you.

Loved the actress’ response to Anne Hathaway, loved the sound of her voice.
And Anne Hathaway 🌹
Anne is incredible, man. Her expressions and her vulnerability on screen can really make you empathize with her to the point where you forget she's just acting. It breaks my heart when I see her in any movie crying, she's that powerful of an actress. She's my favorite by far.
I cried so hard when I watched this episode. My partner is bipolar and we related to this on so many levels. Besides, I believe it was respectfully treated (the bipolar disorder) and A.H. did an amazing job (and so her friend, played by Q.T.B.).
This scene really helped me understand it’s not people with mental illnesses that are the problem ( i’ve had issues and now i’m better and always blamed myself for not connecting as much as i wanted with others)
but the people around them acting as if they can do anything about it and not supporting them.
And it is true, even one good friend, can make that difference.
People just don’t know how much it takes to just not give your life up altogether.
The shame, the blame the ‘not fitting image’
gives power to the illness.
Sometimes we just need kindness and a little bit of patience.
Amazing eye opening scene.
I need more of these.
A close friend recently told me they’re bipolar. That did surprise me because I thought it was ADHD. I’ve never seen her anything other than cheerful and upbeat except *one* time where she only cried a little. She told me some stories of what she was like in the past and I was horrified. She sounded like a whole other person, scary and violent. But she’s such a sweet person and such a good friend. She found meds that work well when she was 22 so her life has been mostly happy and stable since.
Please be there for her if she’s not though! Even with meds, bipolar disorder is a life-long struggle. She may not always have great days. Thanks for being a food friend!
In my daughter's Twitter feed there was a thread about "How do you say 'love' in your profession?" and one of them was a researcher who writes medical papers and submits them for publication. She wrote "Accepted without revision." That sentence struck me to the heart, because I had just found a friend like that, and I feel the same about her - accepted without revision. Best friend I've ever had.
I like this a lot. Imagine feeling that way about one's self. I'm going to give it a try.
Anne’s acting in this scene in superb. Off the charts.
I’ve never had a friend like this. Even though I’ve always been there for the people I thought were friends.
This was one of my fave episodes. She was shown so much love by her friend. It made my heart swell. 💜
This scene made me sob 😭 😩
This is one of the best portrayals of what its actually like. ❤
This episode was really incredible such vulnerability from Anne :).
And I thought that Anne was just a pretty face. Her acting partner in this scene is totally awsome.
What a kind and brave woman, to embrace her friend’s mental illness, and make her feel wanted ❤️❤️❤️
This made me want to take a chance and tell some close friends about it. Maybe I will maybe I won't. But having this accurate depiction of bipolar out there makes me glad. Hope people start to see it just as you would see a physical illness.
I have migraines and IBS too and I have used them as an excuse to hide my bipolar. But that still couldn't explain my flakiness to people sometimes. If only we can be honest and be accepted.
This is unbelievable literally I can't stop watching it's like watching yourself when you're bipolar. What she says do you want to go to the movie sometime do you want to get a drink do you want to see people that's how you feel in your head you want to do all those things so bad but then the low comes and you can't move and you don't want to do anything you can barely survive. And it sucks.. your head and your heart hurt and they're so conflicted and you just want so much to be in that productive manic State I was in a manic frenzy for about 49 years when I hit the wall I hit a thousand miles an hour. Give people a break man you never know what they're going through ✌️
I come back here often, it's so comforting to see the way she welcomed her and the true meaning of friendship, even if it's in fiction. Better days will come!
I'd love to say that talking to someone about it feels like an elephant's foot is off my chest, but for me, I feel like a burden when I open up. Even with a great support system. It's just me and I internalize it all in. The only time I open up is when I'm manic and have pressured speech. Then when I'm depressed I regret telling anyone. I hide away from everyone in shame that I am the way I am. I've had bipolar since a young age and I've still never loved myself for the reason that I'm controlled by this illness. No pity. Just relating hard right now to this wonderful scene.
Thank you for saying this. I usually tell one of my best friends when I am having suicidal thoughts because my rational mind believes that they'd rather be annoyed at me that grieving me. But I feel immensely guilty everytime I do that and then sometimes even when things are not so good, I end up enduring it quietly
we rarely have "that person" sitting across from us, either.
Quincy Berstine's character handled it perfectly....and that is not the usual outcome.
You are not controlled by it. Absolutely not. Don't believe that about yourself. Are psychiatrists telling you this? Is Hollywood telling you this? Listen I am bipolar too but one day I stopped believing the things that everyone told me I was. You do not have to see yourself via the lens of psychiatry. You are in charge of you. Okay!
It's amazing when you trust the 'right' friend. Trust the wrong one and it hurts.
There’s no wrong friend for me. All of them taught you something in life.
@@debbie5087 Some lessons are better not learned. Like those that show you some people cannot be trusted. The result is just a hardened heart.
anne had such great body language you could feel the tension and energy in her emotion.
I just saw this chapter and it hit me really hard.
I live with anxiety and depression and the most of the time my sickness get in the middle of my relationships and work.
Sometimes it's really hard to enjoy life.
I love this scene, so emotional
She’s such a good actor, it’s amazing.
One of the greatest actresses of this generation! Superb!!
If only it went down like that with people I have known. It takes a lot of courage to speak up and tell someone. It takes even more to learn who you are and accept it for yourself, so that you CAN even reach out in the proper way (like this) to the loved and trusted people in your life. Bravo for showing us the way. 💜
I cry every time I watch this. Having realistic portrayals of people with chronic mental illness is so, so helpful. There are some pretty horrific and harmful portrayals of those with bipolar disorder out there. We're just people.
i have watched this many times, and honestly have never been so convinced about the acting in a scene, this was actually incredible and anne hathaways performance was break-taking, wether you can relate or not this felt so real. genuinely some of the best acting i’ve ever seen, if anyone has any other similar scenes like this they could recommend to me i would be very appreciative!
As someone with a bipolar loved one I really appreciate this
Being someone diagnosed with this ailment, she got it right on the money. It's terrible to constantly feel low and have this constant heaviness in your chest that just won't go away. No matter how much medicine you can have for all the self help books you read, it's just a constant sensation that never goes away.
Anne Hathaway is such an amazing actress. This is one of her best performances. Another great movie of hers is Love and Other Drugs. Those of you that hasn't seen it I highly suggest you go and watch it it's fantastic.
Every time I see this scene it makes me cry.
You feel the weight of her loneliness and how scary it must be to speak this truth aloud to another person.
It just stabs me right in the feels.
This performance deserved an Emmy.
Three minutes and twentyfive seconds of pure art
Love these episodes! So well Crafted! Anne is so talented in 40 minutes she shows you all her many sides
When I watched this episode, it felt uncomfortably familiar, but my God the accurate portrayal. Anne Hathaway did an amazing job. Both the writer and Anne deserves an award for mini series
This scene killed me. Even though it’s been months after I watched it I can’t get this scene out of my head.
She was BRILLIANT in this 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Never underestimate the power of true friendship. It can make all the difference.
I just got diagnosed as BPD and I have no friends or relationships. It feels like I am holding the weight of the world inside me. People like this... moments like this.. in these rambling, ugly fragilities... they save lives.
BPD stands for Borderline Personality Disorder and BD stands for Bipolar Disorder 👌
Keep on swimming 🌻
This episode was phenomenal. I loved the way they highlighted mental health struggles. - And the way her co-worker dealt with the situation at the end. How beautiful!
One of my dearest friends is bipolar and she goes through these periods and I absolutely love her all the same. 💚
Very moving scene. Two wonderful actors working off each other. Well done.
This made me cry literally Very sensitive and very emotional : (
As someone who is bipolar, this was very moving but I’m older now and my lows are not as intense Thank God 🙏🏻
That was so intense. I started watching that episode and it was too happy go lucky for me...what followed was intense and an abundance of depth...
Incredible performance ! Undoubtedly the best episode of the series.
This scene made my heart ache in the most beautiful way! ❤️
This was the best episode, and the best scene. Both women really put it over. It's so easy to relate to, whether you're bi-polar or the friend of someone who is. It can be very frustrating to call someone you've been close to and they repeatedly don't respond. Then, suddenly, they're back all bubbly, like nothing ever happened. Unless they reveal their disorder, you are left wondering. I suspect this is true of one of my best friends, who has ghosted me for months. Every time, I vow never to speak to her again, but I love her because she's "the most fun" I've ever been around...when she's around...
What’s truly amazing about this scene is how the actress who plays Anne Hathaways friend is so much more than a friend. In just two minutes, she portrays, mother, father, sibling, colleague, boss, confidante, therapist... almost everything a mental unwell and suffering person would need in the world. Amongst all the things in a wonderful three minute clip, it’s so understated how she corrects Anne Hathaway with just a look when she uses the word ‘crazy’ flippantly. This is a great scene made so real by insightful writing and sensitive acting. Thank you.
She's such an talented actress
Anne Hathaway is an angel and I reckon this is her best performance. It's really important for representation like this for those of us with Bipolar difficulties to see people being supportive and caring about it
Anne Hathaway is one of my favorite actresses. How in the world can a woman teach herself to cry like she did? Amazing.
Truly solid, loving l, honest and empathetic friendship between women can be so beautiful.
This made me sob, when I watched it and now when I’m watching it again, I feel so heard, so much more understood than I though I’d ever ever be
This scene is both beautiful and frightening for me. I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety 15 years ago, but I have suffered with them most of my life. I wish I were brave enough to tell someone, anyone how much my illnesses affect me. I don’t think anyone in m6 life actually knows me. I’m sure that bipolar disorder is much more severe. I struggle so hard, and I can’t imagine anything worse than this.
Gods I have depression and even I can’t EVER imagine how bad bipolar is. Ugh I am so sorry for everyone who has this 😭😭...
Is really awful.. We have good periods but when the bad ones came is not easy. And feelings toward persons are not stable. One day you like to go out. Next day you barely can go out of bed.😔
This clip makes me feel better. Im not diagnosed bipolar: dont even have symptoms this severe, but I have low periods in which I feel zo anxious and sad. It just makes me feel okay when I watch this.
Hathaway is excellent in this scene.
wow. this really moved me
Anne Hathaway will always have my love and respect for her amazing talent. I'm so happy she's giving a voice and exposure to people who suffer from this debilitating disorder.
This was an amazing performance that does not feel like a performance but like truth. It is a truth so many of us live with. I have Anxiety and Depression. In recent years I just started telling people about it, but tried to hide it for years because of the stigma. I appreciate this clip and will look for the show on Prime.
This made me sob like a baby🙃
I have bipolar disorder and i lost loads of friends within 2 years because of my swings
I know what it felt like everything’s your fault even if it’s not all on you
i hope you are feeling better
What a powerful scene! Great performance by both! the "mmhm" was louder than a million screaming words.
This scene was very emotional for me. It really hit home!
