Lad in the red shirt is a wonderful person... But he seems like he may have also experienced depression. He's way too optimistic and positive, while his roommate is having a meltdown. He seems to expect it, and know exactly what to do.

This movie is extreme, but my sister basically dragged me to a botanical garden I'd wanted to go to a few years ago. I was about to back out, but she insisted, so we went. It was hot as hell, but it was a day I'll never forget. That's when I realized that feeling the way I did wasn't normal and I really needed help.

[@MadeInSeventyFour]

From someone who has been a meditation and wellness coach for 7 years and is also moving into counselling; I appreciate this film so much. Yes, a lot of people do suffer from clinical depression with complex issues such as PTSD, etc. However, so many do live with depression that is circumstantial or situational. In this instance; we all need someone like Myles in our lives. That moment when they were on the swing; my heart soared. So beautifully executed. A big thank you to every single Myles out there. I loved this so much; it is currently my favourite Omeleto and it will stay in my top 5. Ps. Up until the car scene; I seriously thought we were having a Fight Club moment! Haha.

[@ATR-_]

You are so right dude. I feel the same as the dude in red.

[@masternip]

unless you're essentially a zombie.

[@RoadkillbunnyUK]

I felt like the friend was representative of the internal struggle with depression. I suffer from serious depletion and anxiety and the two guys in this reminded me of my own internal conflict. One part has just given up and just wants to allow life to happen to me good or bad it doesn’t matter because nothing matters because my chronic physical illnesses mean I have no point, no future past bringing up my kids and maybe they would be better without a mother who can’t get herself together mentally and is becoming more and more physically frail and then there is the other part of me who can see what needs to happen to improve my situation, who can see the devastation my children would suffer should their mother give up on herself and them, the part of me that gets so frustrated with the part that isn’t capable of seemingly simple tasks. The two parts of me are at war like the friends through the first half of the film and the second part of the film is what finding a good medication, therapy service, support worker and asking for help and seeing that there are people who love me and want to help me any way they can does for you, it calms the war and finds a path of compromise between the sides of myself just like the last scene of the film. I have no idea if this was the film makers intent but it has resonated with me and I will keep it in mind on the path of recovery/management I’m on. Keep on keeping on all who share my path and support us on the path.

[@freshpondproductions1337]

Yes, you understood the intent and message 100 percent. We all have these two halves battling within ourselves. Yours sounds like a unique situation so yours also has become a unique purpose. Keep on keeping on, as you say, and just know your kids don't fault you for your struggles. If they are not old enough to understand yet, one day they will see the everyday hero that you are

[@RoadkillbunnyUK]

Fresh Pond Productions thank you so much for the reply, it means a great deal, you have made a film that can really help people and help supporters understand what’s happening inside the sufferer as it can be very hard to see it yourself until you start to get good treatment. You will have saved lives with this film. I didn’t watch it when it was first put out as I was worried it would be just another film on depression that struggled to truly understand it, I’m kicking myself for not at first having faith that others can and do understand. Yes my struggle is defined by my physical health and that adds another perspective. My children are 12 and 9 and just tonight I said to them how I hated the fact I am having to depend on them more and more for care and my autistic 9 year old son said ‘but you are our Mum’. I am in good treatment for my mental health now but I’m still struggling but these days I’m keeping on keeping on with a little hope in my heart. Thank you again.

[@pango529]

You must be trampin if u think imma read all of this

[@mays_alpha]

Please don’t do it. I know it can feel hopeless sometimes and like there’s literally no point, but there always is. Life will get good again, and if everything else falls apart, you always have your goodness to fall back on. You can always help someone else, and I know that’s the last thing you can think about, but if you do, it will take the focus off of your problems for a while, and you’ll be doing good and affecting someone else’s life for the better, which God Willing, will snowball into many good things happening. A great way to achieve peace is by doing something good, whether it’s simply getting out of bed, eating one small bite of an apple, or volunteering at a homeless shelter/orphanage. If you see no point in anything else, then please know that you are the point. You are the point. You are the point. You. I love you ❤️

I think this movie is about we as a friend to support those who suffer from depression. In the beginning, you see he went to the doctor but gets a "bad" treatment and become more depressed. We see how the doctors give advice "to go outside", "be positive" etc like a lot of people out there telling advise to depressed people. Its not about the kidnapping to cure depression but it's about a friend who make real action to help his friend, even though it's hard even though he's being blame, he helps by being there not just telling useless advice.

[@DUSKvsDAWN]

As much as I hated Miles at first, I think he really gets it. Sometimes we all need a Miles in our lives when we're down in the dumps. I have gotten a lot better since last year due to therapy which was long overdue. Finally I found a form of therapy that suits me, and the meds that I've been taking for a few years now keep me stable enough. At the moment I am pretty down again, but this time, I know things will get better. And sometimes there isn't anything you can do to cheer yourself up. And that's ok. Sometimes it just takes time. To all my fellow people who have struggled with depression at some point in their life, maybe for 20 years like me or maybe just for a little while, things will get better. Trust me. But in the end, you will have to be the one to make changes. If you want it enough, you can find happiness again. And sometimes, a little bit of help from others, a fun hobby, therapy, medication (all of these combined, or one or two, whatever suits you best) combined with giving yourself time to adjust to a new phase in life, things will eventually be ok. Hang in there, lovely people.

Seeing a positive relationship become a driving force for healing; even when the relationship struggles and the two clash it builds more foundation to harbor even more. I love the quote specifically “if there’s no hot chicks at the wedding dance with the grandmas.” I’m more thankful for this film than one May imagine. It’s an absolute masterpiece

I don't care who reads this or where it really exists in the grand scheme of things but.... this really helped me. It gave me the something... being life... enough to keep me going.

[@freshpondproductions1337]

Hey Sarah, I'm the writer/director of Situational, so I guess I read these, haha. Thank you for watching and it fills our hearts to hear it helped you. There's always something to keep going for, more than we can sometimes see when we are in the darkest valleys. As you know it's a slow process to walk to your next peak, but step by step, sometimes two forwards and one back, but just keep getting up, putting one foot in front of the other and trying not to be an enemy to yourself. Self compassion. Gratitude. Exercise. Focus on your basic health. And yes, if possible, find an occasional sunrise or chinchilla. :) Reach out if you need to. - Scott

[@stephenwengerwenger6412]

this guy is the best friend you could ever ask for

[@TheMellomuse]

If not for sticking it out until the end, I would have disagreed with every single thing Miles did until he covered his ass before sunrise. I guess that was intentional. Well-played, filmmakers.

[@randomland2775]

All of middle school, I was the depressed person. Now in high school, I’m the energetic person. Life sucks still! But there are good things it can bring. Like success.

[@mob_mop1042]

nice story.. if you found that you're alone, then get up and go out .. there's so many positive vibes out there or new friends for a bonus..love it! 😘😘

[@noneurbisness6521]

It doesn't help when you look like a crackhead because you've neglected to take care of yourself, and then you discover you have social anxiety.

[@amandarios448]

If it only worked. Depression is not the same as feeling down or lonely. Think about Robin Williams, brilliant career family, still struggling decades with it. I'm sorry I like most things here. But if going out once and having a chat cures your depression. You never had depression you're just bored

[@ampa4989]

New friends isn't really even a possibility at some point in your life. There's a very social period in one's development. It's there to help you find a mate, evolutionarily speaking. Then that period ends and making friends is very difficult for most people. And, I think, most people don't even want to unless some crisis develops.

[@justalex3209]

@awsten yes its toxic positivity

[@summerturner4383]

This should be made into a full length movie brilliant. Exceptional acting they should audition for movies in Hollywood I will watch them from now on.

[@swagataroychowdhury1078]

a friend like this is one of the greatest gifts one can get in this life!

[@cole.07862]

"Yes it will help!!! Chinchillas are SUPER SOFT!!!!!!"

[@stephenteneyck1779]

One Hellava way to start my day...in a good way...great episode. Authentic friendships are hard to find and isolation feeds depression. I know b/c I'm both a person suffering with chronic double-depression and a Qualified Mental Health Professional having previously worked as a mental health & substance abuse clinician in both the public and private sectors. There is no one size "cures" all depression and unfortunately I do believe some people have what I call "end-stage depression" as a terminal disease model; however, if you live with depression like I do there is no shame in reaching out for help...even by calling 911. Just keep holding on to any single thread that keeps you in this universe. Truth be told, if it were easy then everybody could do it, but you have a duty to at least try...

[@Genius-zf5xx]

Stephen Ten EYck what's double depression? Cause I'm a child psychiatrist and I've never heard of it

[@PocketPetz]

I'm not sure either :(

[@wrenstanden9103]

1123581321 Genius Was pretty easy to Google "double depression" rather than implying professional doubt of its existence

[@kasturisamanta]

Stephen Ten EYck Hugs @@

[@audioartisan]

@@Genius-zf5xx Double depression is a complication of a psychiatric illness called dysthymic disorder, or dysthymia. Dysthymia is a chronic, depressed mood accompanied by just one or two other symptoms of clinical depression (such as low energy or low self-esteem) that lasts at least two years in adults (or one year in kids). This low, dark mood -- sometimes described as a "veil of sadness" -- occurs nearly every day and can sometimes persist for many years. Some people may have this mood disorder for 10 to 20 years or even more before seeking treatment. Over time, more than half of people with dysthymia experience worsening symptoms that lead to the onset of a full syndrome of major depression superimposed on their dysthymic disorder, resulting in what is known as double depression.

[@wazihanokshi2414]

It worked like therapy.....Now I get it.... Battling through severe Depression now.... I'm hopeful I'll get through it...we all will...

[@funlife3494]

If i have frd like that then.. I won't feel alone forever

[@jdm6479]

What exactly did you take away from this film?

[@Giliver]

Fun Life lol.

[@williammcsorley4296]

Exactly, all my "freinds" don't care about my depression and treat me like a burdon.

[@jdm6479]

Your friends are going through their own stuff I'm sure of it, not that they don't care or think you are a burden but its just hard sometimes to help out, coming from someone who has experienced it from both sides

[@masternip]

if you're truely depressed, you'd actually kill the dude and commit suicide later on.

[@DeathSensei]

I needed this. I wish I had a friend like that

[@luticia]

my thought,too

[@the_numinous]

Toi don't need à friend lime chat, you can just be like that.

Language was kind of strong. But the friend had a valid point. One my Grandmother always said, Enjoy life and make your own happiness!!!

[@cristianm7097]

Depression is hard, man. Many don't even have friends.

[@donnajohnson5092]

Wow this one made me cry at the end how much compassion that kidnapper friend showed was touching

[@peachpanda96]

This is what I mean when I say check on your depressed friends.

[@kaleidojess]

That's a really good friend, went a little crazy there but it was a really thoughtful gesture.

[@LifeOfTheShooter]

I honestly have no idea how I even got to this channel but thank goodness. Quarantine has been rough and I really felt this on a super deep lever as I deal with my own depression. Thanks for great story telling!

[@annegelebart3397]

Go and follow Byron Katie The Work ! I am out of it now forever

[@shihouin24]

Genuine love of a friend to another. Human kindness and compassion at its peak.

[@BboyNemo1]

It's crazy to say that I was the same way for those 2 characters at different times in my life. However, depression never really went away. It's always still there but I always try to combat it with trying to do things that feel good, hike in the mountains to see the sunset, talk to strangers, have a solid morning and night routine to take care of myself. But its always still there every single day

[@snazzylizardz5041]

I will be another stranger to talk to if you want! You are loved!

[@raquelf.1962]

Depression is a horrible illness. It was great that he had a friend that really wanted to help him.

[@fatboysgarage7984]

I know what it's like to want to take that way out. I find that channeling all of my feelings through music and writing is the best way to get me through the day. There's been days where I never left the house because I felt so bad, but I couldn't stop writing.

[@EclecticianG]

Totally unorthodox way to break that guy out of the depression. Having struggled with it on and off for most of my life, I can tell you that Miles will have to continually work on helping him because it doesn't go away just like that. He'll need to learn that happiness is a choice you have to make every time, ESPECIALLY when something bad happens, and that one of the most powerful medications to fight it is social situations that you enjoy. Depressed people who are alone are always at risk if they don't have a good medication, especially when the situation gets terrible. Learn to think optimistically. Change the way you think!

[@bignonoIamAgirl]

This was such a pretty short film. I would like to think that I'm like the happier friend, i'm carefree, positive, HAPPY with myself, but i also know about being depressed. Sometimes people just need others to actually listen to them, and I'm glad I do that for my friends. Also, at the end i thought he was going to say that they were just going to have to wait for the sunset there lol. beautiful film! :D

[@daxcasselman8627]

Very nice detail to have the friend wearing a shirt with the symbol of a lifeguard as he literally guards a life from drowning in depression.

I hv depression so this is amazing.. I try I tried and I will keep on trying

I've suffered from depression my whole life (30+yrs), and been suicidal...and I only figured this out in the last 5. It's a struggle to make it a habit, but it works.

[@themutualfriend5286]

I think we all need a friend like that in our life.

[@FordPrefict42]

My absolute favorite color is Sky Blue Pink. It can only occur twice a day and it doesn't happen every day. It takes a certain set of atmospheric conditions. Watching a sunrise or sunset, and seeing my favorite color, is so euphoric! Never take for granted the little things in life that make you happy. They may not always be there.

[@jspurs22]

Omeleto need to make these short films a little longer, very great films

[@kwuartz]

jonjon Omeleto doesn’t make some/all of these films, so the film makers make the decision to make it longer. Some think it’s better longer, and some don’t. :D

[@garethoneill5676]

Pills can help you for a short time but only you can lift yourself out of depression in the end
