LikeKristen yes, I'd love to have someone who actually understands how I'm feeling even a little bit. also thank you for the vids, Kristen! sad that such a small group of people talk about these topics here.
I can't choose my otp yes my only friend at my school doesn't care and she always forgets I have it so she gets mad at me when I am sad and my parents dont believe I have it
"Take your time. No one is rushing you." Sounded like "Take your time. No one is Russian here." And then after about 20 sec of pause and thinking, I got what you said xD
I like how each you was their own style of trying to help. Blue sweater wants to have fun in a goofy way. Yellow sweater wants to be the best friend. White blouse is more logical and practical about it. White sweater was the total sweetheart. It felt like everyone can have something to say.
In my experience, it's because these are things that tell us someone cares. We want to believe that somebody cares, but it's hard to do. This is only based on my personal experience though.
You're an amazing person, keep up the great work. Also, if you could pass on a video somehow to the Native American women and youth in Northern Canada that would be great. That area has a high suicide rate. Those kids feel hopeless and it's sad to know why. The media glosses over the topic when it happens and nothing gets done. I think what you are doing is incredible and so many professionals do not address these topics at all or charge for this information. What you are offering is wonderful, keep up the great work with your videos.
LikeKristen Hey, I have a question. Why does this video make me so nauseous? I mean, like, it makes me feel physically ill when people tell me that they care. I don't know why; I need to- I want to feel better. It hurts so much. But, when people tell me that I matter, I can't believe them. Please help. I don't know what to do.
"You seem so much happier, look at that big grin" is the phrase of the month for me. Thankfully, even though hearing that hurts, them thinking Im better is the goal. I wont get better so im pretending while I tie off loose ends with those I love before I go, I couldn't stand another trip to a mental hospital
thanks ❤ I miss school a lot and whenever I still back my friends ask where were you? and I say I dont wanna talk about it right now please. and they respect me. my friend also has severe depression and I always make her go outside it makes her feel so much better. and in return, she reminds me to take my meds and convince me not to think anything bad or do anything bad to myself ❤
i remembered I had to fight for the people closest to be able to say these words. it took them years to finally understand that it wasn't just a phase or me being dramatic or me just having an emotional moment. my bf was an example. he initially didn't understand and rejected my diagnosis when I finally seek help from a doctor. it tooks months of the worst fights we ever had and almost got into a break up.. for him to finally understand and became of one my most supportive pillar of support right now. it takes time but keep talking to the people who care about you and never stop trying to get them to understand your situation. it definitely takes time for them to grasp what you're going through but sometimes, it's worth it :)
It's true that so many people don't really know what to say, and I just hope many see this so they can use them, they are so helpful and just showing a little love and care goes a long way when someone is depressed, just hearing these made me feel warm inside
my best friend almost told me all of these.. she would always be there for me when I needed her even when I think that nobody cares about me she insists on telling me that I really matter to her.. when I told her about my self-harm she was really shocked and she hugged me and started crying so bad.. when I told her about my social anxiety she encouraged me to get therapy.... she is the reason why i'm recovering from self harm and depression.. I discovers recently that she is also already going through depression and anxiety so I promised to stay with her in this and to make helping her my daily goal because she means a lot... I know she's not gonna read this but I want to let her know.. you are the most precious thing I got and I can ever get... you make the meaning to my life.. I hope you'll stay with me forever and I will never deserve an amazing person like you..... I LOVE YOU Z.... I REALLY DO💘💘💘💘
Thanks for this my friend started pouring everything out to me yesterday after I asked her if she was ok and that told her that she can talk to me I'd never spoke to anyone about depression before so I had no idea what to say. Hopefully I can do a better job of supporting her now
This video brought some sort of light to me. I just wish people would say these things to me, they tell me to try to socialise/excersise/eat healthier or that I'm not trying hard enough and I know they've tried to help but it frustrates me more than it helps me
Thank you for this. I needed to know what I can and cannot say. I also didn't know what things to say to make that person feel a little bit better. I will re-watch this many times. I repeat, thanks!
this was amazing i wish i had someone like this in my life. i can show that you rea,lly really care about all us people and you have really helped me in my most darkest times thank you kristin your amazing .
I really wanted to like this twice. I'm gonna keep this in my "watch later" list for when I wish my friends would check up on me but I'm too scared to ask or feel like a burden/asking for attention. Made me feel warm and fuzzy thank you x
your advice is very helpful I actually dating someone dealing with depression and we had a lot problems but now I going to use your advice hopefully it works a new approach
I cut and i hate myself for it and I got better last year but now it just seems worse. My closest friends know but I kinda want to tell an adult but I don't know how and every time I go to, I completely chicken out and then bc of the stress I cut. And it just feels like an ongoing cycle
Emma Bryant know that you are strong enough to reach out for help. I have many videos on ways to talk to your parents or adults about SH or your mental health in general. Maybe go watch those for a little courage and inspiration!
This is exactly what I needed. Kristen, if you ever read this you are such a great influence to so many people around you. Thank you so much for this video
This is so off topic but I really just need anybody's help. I've been self-harming for a little while and have recently been trying to get better, but still consider it a comfort to have my blade with me. Earlier today my best friend took it and binned it, now I'm left here clueless on what to do.
Thank you for posting this at this time, it was like perfect timing. It hasn't been the best couple of days. It's been really rough lately. Since I don't have a supportive support system for my mental health... Or just someone who cared. Just you saying those stuff through a screen helped a lot. Thank you for being you and doing what you're doing.
I started crying after the one about school at the end. God I hate school so much and my family forces me to go to school. Sometimes I have to fake illness just to stay home.
This video is great, wish I have any friends who'd really be interested to talk to me. There were some who said good things to me but didn't last that long. Sorry for bringing up post like this. Have a great day people.
It was difficult for me to get through this video. Like i can intellectually know all this, but emotionally the words just sound fake or forced. Like whatever optimism people try to share with me won't make a difference cause instead of taking it to heart I'm too busy finding all the ways they're wrong.
Thanks for making me sad and a little happy. I’m happy that you made this because I like hearing this because it makes me feel a little more hopeful But this makes me want I cry because I know no one understands me enough to say these things. I’m too scared to tell and so I’ll probably never get diagnosed so if I tell someone about this Based on how people on TH-cam act they’ll say I’m not depressed because I’m not diagnosed and that i have a better life.
I've been dealing with depression and self harm for two year and the longest I've gone clean was three days. The only people that know are my counselor and my school counselor my parents thought that I stopped and I have to hide it from them because I get grounded if they find out and they think that it's for attention. I kneed help. Please give advice
Every morning I check in with guy friend to see how he's doing. I love him so much. The most difficult part is it is a long distance relationship at the moment. I will keep these in mind and try to think of others. We both really love the same kinds of music so we send each other song lyrics. I've sent him lyric videos from TH-cam. "I'll Stand By You" (Pretenders), "The Greatest Reward"'(Celine Dion), "Bridge Over Troubled Water" (Simon & Garfunkel)
I have a friend. She's bored with his life. Now, she doesn't like things when she used to like. She's not energetic when she says she's bored with her life. She says she's not happy with her life. She needs a new activity but can't find one. So, is it a depression?
Hey Kristen, your videos really help me with my depression and suicidle thought. But I suffer with aspergers. It can really make my depression tank down. Exspeshaly when I haven't had a real freind to help me with it in a long time. I was wondering if you could make a video aspies. It might be a little away from your normal stuff. But aspies are more prone to depression, than neroripicals.
Really Great! Humor could be good, depending on how close you are with the person, can say, "I'm your bodyguard. I got your back." If you can make the person smile, because i am at a therapy community, and we help lift each other out of depression. A lot of humor in the community to help lift spirits.
i feel sad because nobody will say these things to me
thats really why I made this video because sometimes people don't know what to say. I hope people will share this video and spread the word!
LikeKristen yes, I'd love to have someone who actually understands how I'm feeling even a little bit. also thank you for the vids, Kristen! sad that such a small group of people talk about these topics here.
Same here, but hey, you're a whole being, you have to be your very own best friend and tell these things to yourself, no matter how silly it sounds!
I can't choose my otp yeah me 2 😞
I can't choose my otp yes my only friend at my school doesn't care and she always forgets I have it so she gets mad at me when I am sad and my parents dont believe I have it
You are going to be an amazing therapist one day.
"Take your time. No one is rushing you."
Sounded like
"Take your time. No one is Russian here."
And then after about 20 sec of pause and thinking, I got what you said xD
I laughed so hard when I read this, because that's exactly what I heard.
Mr. N00dle when is that in the video??
sophie whitaker 5:15
this made my night! lol
+LikeKristen lol Xx 😂😭😭
6:35 is not SHAMELESS self promotion it is DESERVED self promotion, you are amazing Kristen and thank you for everything you do, you rock!
"You are not a waste of space!" made me start crying. I've been feeling like a waste lately, thank you :)
Gosh this is lovely to hear this is a wonderful video
I like how each you was their own style of trying to help. Blue sweater wants to have fun in a goofy way. Yellow sweater wants to be the best friend. White blouse is more logical and practical about it. White sweater was the total sweetheart. It felt like everyone can have something to say.
I don't know why but I'm 2 minutes in and I'm in tears.
In my experience, it's because these are things that tell us someone cares. We want to believe that somebody cares, but it's hard to do. This is only based on my personal experience though.
Winter Lyrics same,, and I think it’s because I am wishing so hard for my family to say this to me
I wish there would actually be peope who react that way.. but no one around me does and it just makes me feel even more lonely
some days im super depressed but then other days im super happy. I dont know what to do...
I really wish I will find a person like this in my life.
What are some things I missed? Let me know!
LikeKristen "I know its difficult to feel like you're trying, but you really are."

If it doesnt work again and I can still move, i will drag myself back to the top of that bulding and jump again.

You made me cry tears of joy I'm really depressed and this made me feel like I'm cared about
I love your channel and it makes me feel like I'm not alone on this depression and anxiety. Thank you ❤️

This video literally made me cry. I'm still crying now. I wish more people would say stuff like this to me.

This video made me cry although u weren’t telling ME these things I just feel better and no one has said any of these things to me ever
Oh god I am crying so much right now. This is exactly what I wanted to hear. This is nice I really needed to hear that!
Thank you, Kristen, for making my day. If only people in my immediate surroundings would say the same words to me.
You're like the nicest person ever. Thanks for making this video.
This is exactly what I needed. Kristen, if you ever read this you are such a great influence to so many people around you. Thank you so much for this video

A young lady who is brighter than everyone who I know. They all care only about themselves. Finally, someone with empathy.
I’m happy to know What to Say to my friend, and I’m happy i know What I’m doing good, Thank you❤️
thanks for making this video
This video is great, wish I have any friends who'd really be interested to talk to me. There were some who said good things to me but didn't last that long. Sorry for bringing up post like this. Have a great day people.
this made me cry
You made myday
The A+ hugger one was my favorite one.
Thank you
I've never been told any of these by ANYONE.
Except my friend who is going through the same as me.
And my mother.
thank you thank you thank you
Thanks a lot for this video! This is really important!
Close your eye and listen to it it feels good
Your channel is incredible. I totally love watching and listening to your advice. You're my online therapist 😊 keep up the good work Kristen
aaaaaaa kristen this is the best!!
I acutely kinda felt better watching this video.
Thank you.
I wish that I had someone who cared enough to ask me even one of those questions.
Can I link to this video off my mental health newspaper?
YES! ALL THE YES!
You're a really sweet and amazing person ❤
It was difficult for me to get through this video. Like i can intellectually know all this, but emotionally the words just sound fake or forced. Like whatever optimism people try to share with me won't make a difference cause instead of taking it to heart I'm too busy finding all the ways they're wrong.
I honestly love these videos and could watch the, over an over! X your channel is soooo good at the moment too!
Thanks for making me sad and a little happy.
I’m happy that you made this because I like hearing this because it makes me feel a little more hopeful
But this makes me want I cry because I know no one understands me enough to say these things. I’m too scared to tell and so I’ll probably never get diagnosed so if I tell someone about this
Based on how people on TH-cam act they’ll say I’m not depressed because I’m not diagnosed and that i have a better life.
you made my day
Something about her makes me feel safe 😊 especially with the motivation
I wish someone cared about me enough to say these things to me
Now I just need someone, who will say these things to me and mean them
I've been dealing with depression and self harm for two year and the longest I've gone clean was three days.

I really like this 😊
I have a friend. She's bored with his life. Now, she doesn't like things when she used to like. She's not energetic when she says she's bored with her life. She says she's not happy with her life. She needs a new activity but can't find one. So, is it a depression?
