Living with depression - short film "Rain" // "Regn" by Johannes Stjärne Nilsson (Sweden)

came from yt shorts because i heard that this is actually a short film about depression and not about a woman cursed by the god of rain.

The fact that everyone around her still accepted her despite the mess and damage it created. Depression can really be boiled up inside and only affects the person alone.

[@UnknownHumanOnline]

If your parents are depressed? Hey hello ....

[@metermorphose]

Wow, that's a good point... Thank you for mentioning that. Have to let this sink in...

[@letsstartadialogueeh7692]

it was perfect that it wasn't raining until she woke up because sleep is one of the only escapes.

[@vigilanterocco381]

Let's start a dialogue: no it's not. Depression also gives one horrible nightmares. It's inauspicious, so many people don't fully understand this dangerous, horrific disease.... Life. Hurts. In so many ways.... Some feel depression so intense, that the only way to get rid of the hurt...is to get rid of the body. But there is a shining light on a long road to coping & recovery.... To all who suffer this dreadful disease -- may the comfort of "hope" pull you through those dark clouds & rain...to see the Sunshine.

[@Sarakhan_]

Agree 🥲

[@mandybrown5611]

There were times where I used sleep as a means of escape before (I didn't have nightmares), but even that didn't bring me any sense of peace or comfort. Like what vigilante said, it's a feeling of emptiness and discontent that just stays with you, killing you slowly and silently with its suffocating abyss and there's no way of getting rid of it. It is something you have to live with, unfortunately, and it makes it hard for people to want to be around you. There are times where it can also get so unbearably heavy and it leads to dangerous thoughts. The only thing you have to do is learn how to manage it, as best as you can ❤

[@sweet9041]

It clearly shows how difficult simple things can get when you have depression.

[@mohitrocks55]

Entire film showcases what depression feels like. Its like your drowning all the time. You are not able to work properly and you always have to put a normal happy face because you know nobody would care. Food is tasteless at a fancy restaurant too. You knw you cant escape that and finally accepting it is the only way. And at last she walks off but rain remains there as if she weighed it all off and left. She left whatever was drowning her all the time. Brilliant idea I would say.

[@issiatan9256]

I read that this is about having depression and how it affects everything in your life just like how the rain in the short film affects everything around her. No one is trying to help her because they're not the one suffering and they just don't care the only time they care is whenever she's making a mistake.

[@saikoxll4734]

I don’t think ppl r ignoring her purposefully, I think the rain is only visible to her specifically just like how depression is in real life, it can go unnoticed.

[@issiatan9256]

@@saikoxll4734 I thought they knew because of how the boy in the restaurant looked at her, but his mom tapped him on his hand and shake? - her head, and how the waiter placed his hand on her shoulder to maybe asked if she's alright and tried to shake the water off?- of his sleeves after (Sorry for my bad English) so I thought they knew. I also thought that maybe the lady beside her in the bus is aware, because she changed seats and moved to the back of the bus. I also noticed how the rain is getting worse and worse as the video continues. Maybe depression can go unnoticed, but signs/symptoms can't. And I also think that we all have problems in our life that we need to tend to. So, even if we don't admit it, we also sometimes ignore other people's business, situation or condition because we have our own problems to take care of and I think that it's fine. I also want to point out how the kids in the restaurant are obviously looking at her, I think it's because they have lesser things to worry about than adults and that they are more curious about everything around them so they can't ignore things that are new to them. I'm sorry if I used any inappropriate word on my first comment, I do not mean any harm to anyone.

[@YouTubeallowedmynametobestolen]

@@issiatan9256 Issia, first of all, your English is fine. Any "errors" were insignificant. Your meaning was clear throughout, and that is what language is for. So Kudos to you! I understand what you mean about some people noticing the rain (or at least the wetness), and I thought it was a flaw in the story. Depression is--in my experience--something that other people mostly can't see. But you made a great point about that "blindness" being at least partly because we are so caught up in our own affairs.

[@saikoxll4734]

@@issiatan9256 I think those reactions were to symbolize how depression can isolate its victim and affect how ppl see them. Even to this date, there’s still stigma around the mental illness although it’s wayyy much better now. Back then depression was highly looked down on and I think those subtle reactions were to demonstrate that mindset.

[@Jurnicurn]

Best way to deal with depression is to stop trying to ignore and hide it and accept it. Then you can get control back bit by bit ❤ that's what I feel like she did when she let go of the umbrella. She was done pretending like it wasent there and she felt better. I suffer with depression and sometimes letting go and just giving it time helps me get back on top.

No one can see your tears in the rain. That's why she smiles at the end. Her rain/depression/tears are masked by the huge downpour. She becomes like everyone else, just trying to get out of the rain. 😢

[@JessicaLorentis-fy8nh]

This was a masterpiece. I have suffered from depression for over 4 years now, I just started taking antidepressants this summer. This is an actually perfect representation of what depression feels like. The dread when you wake up. The way it affects your everyday life. How people notice but don’t do anything. How you ignore it and just keep going. Even down to the last perfect bit, where you finally realise you can’t block it out, and the only way out is to accept it. This was written by someone who experienced depression. This was beautiful. Thank you.

[@happyme3274]

Oh wow, this was such an amazing short film. It was amazing to see what it would look like to see a peron who actually has clouds above their head. And I love the actress who played this part in the film, my heart really went out to her. That just goes to show how good her snd her fellow actors were. Thanks for this imaginative and emotionsl film, my favorite part was when she left that sad rain behind 😁❤

for me, its just a part of every one that we really want to cry like a non-stop rain but we cant instead we show to others that were ok even if it's totally not. simply smiling outside but crying inside.

Спасибо большое за такое видение сложной проблемы как дипрессия.

This shows that everyone knows your depressed and it annoys them. It shows no one is going to help you and everyone wants to stay away from you. At the end, you realize even outside is depressing and your happy to know you should never go outside again.

This tells a lot about depression,she used umbrella to stop rain (faking her emotions and thinking ignoring would take them away)but depression nevers go so she throw her umbrella and start living in it Depression never ends ,you either have to keep fighting it or die

[@Tayyabsaleem1975]

Rain in this movie are all those tears which she shed every morning n night, n gradually those tears became rain over her whole life. N wetness of those tears affect everyone around her n no one wants to get wet in those tears. Some don't bother n some are not part of life.

[@awesomegirl1092]

I am suffering from depression so i can understand. Noone even notice that you are hurt it is a slow poision it kills slowly and silently

[@hisham9804]

In the end when she threw the umbrella and accepted the rain then the rain stayed there and she moved on . That’s how depression can be tackled too accept whatever is bothering you , it won’t anymore.

[@LilMammaRosie]

I think that's a beautiful thought! Unfortunately the rain didn't stay behind. It's raining everywhere in that scene. That was why she brought out the umbrella.

[@certainlybrain]

The only time she is not under the influence of depression is sleep time. As soon as she wakes up, it slowly starts to make itself felt. She does not leave his head at all hours of the day. While others are experiencing spring, the rain only falls on her. Then she realizes that she can only escape from the rain like an umbrella. If there is rain, the whole nature is affected and gets wet. So the umbrella doesn't make much sense either. Real rain teaches her something. Even if you pretend it doesn't exist, that thing exists. If you can take it naturally, if you can say that it's raining and it's normal, you can manage not to be negatively affected.throw the umbrella, but really throw it
