Ryan's Goal: Educate people about depression Sam's Goal: Say things about depression out of context

I’m sorry but the last question absolutely killed me 😭 Ryan “yes, I was depressed” Sam “YAYYYYYY” I love this video sm and thank you for being so real about it

you guys are literally the best for talking about this so openly

Ryan: "I was not depressed." Sam: *"DANGIT-"*

Besties if you are going through depression and need help, I just send you my love and hope that every day just gets a little better! Love you! Good luck out there!

Ryan: “I was not depressed.” Sam: “Dangit!”

I won't lie... Sam's smile every single time she listens to Ryan's voice is how I wish a girl would feel for me, it hurts me, but it brightens my day too.

I’m new to this channel and I recently started struggling with anxiety myself. Learning that Sam also struggles through it has helped me feel a little more comforted and accepted and I thank you both for everything you do.

As a young person who has struggled with depression and anxiety for a while, thank you for making this video. I feel like not enough people talk about mental as openly as you both do. I’ve seen so many people treat mental health as something that shouldn’t be talked about. I can’t even remember how many times kids at my school have made jokes about depression and suicide. I’ve always felt invisible and like something was wrong with me. I absolutely love it when you both post videos like this. I agree with everything you say and I feel validated. I wish more people were like you. I hope you both will continue to take care of yourselves. Don’t feel pressured to post new content for us, do it for you. Mental health comes first. ❤

I'm really happy you guys talk about mental health so openly 💕

As someone with depression, I can relate to a lot of this. You never really know what is going on with someone unless they tell you directly. Sometimes, when I'm quiet and my face looks sad, I'm just chillin and being quiet. And sometimes, when I am super happy and passionate, I may be struggling to find my will to live on the inside. You just don't know, and it's ok to ask, but never assume. Asking shows you care, assuming shows you pity them and think every single thing they do that doesn't emulate happiness is bad.

I honestly feel like Ryan's transparency with mental health really helps me. Him being a straight up and an intellect regardless motivates me to learn and that is the coolest sh!!t. Sam is just an ethereal soul that just never lets her anxiety distort her beautiful happy aura. The message of his video was incredible and definitely something that us as a society need to do some work on, not projecting based on how our mental health is or what we feel other's mental health is. I pray for all of our healing and pray you all find peace, balance and structure. xxxxx

I wish I could remember if I was depressed or not on a specific day. They just all blend together now.

harry styles, theatre, mental health, and equality are indeed the 4 pillars of a functioning culture

I spend so much energy making value judgments on my current state, like how well I'm handling my anxiety and dysphoria and stuff. I love that you both put such an emphasis on "come as you are," and just showing up as is and not how you "should" be or would be "at 100%." Going to hang out with friends, family, even just going to the store sometimes, I'll stop myself because I'm not at that level. I guess I'd like to believe deep down that my friends just want me there - anxious or not - but I have to tell myself and believe it too.

I love this video, topic, and how you both expressed yourselves throughout the video!! Thank you both!! I am also a sufferer of both depression and anxiety and Sam’s statement of “… mental health does not have one set image; mental health is invisible…” ( 16:00 ) was such an honest, intelligent, and profound summarization of both the video and of people who live with depression & how they view themselves and/or how others view them that it actually made tear up. Again, thank you both! Much love ❤

Ryan : “No no I’m not gonna hold this over your head” Sam: “ok” Ryan : “😈😈😈😈😈”

Dads I’m so glad you are talking about the topic of mental health . It is so meaningful that you guys made this video to me not just because it’s helping spread awareness but because I know I’m not alone. I love your guys es videos they always Bering a smile to my face so thank you❤

Now it would be fun the "does my girlfriend is anxious"

Ryan thank you so much for opening up like this. It’s honestly made me feel so seen as like yours my depression doesn’t have a trigger it just comes on so thank you as even mental health professionals don’t believe me

As a fellow depresso espresso, I am not shocked I knew when he was depressed in all of the clips. It doesn't make the videos any less entertaining, but if you're looking, you can see the effort you're making to use your energy.

My depression mixed with all my other medical problems and chronic illnesses makes a pretty firey pit. The pandemic helped 0% with everything, on top of the stress of moving out. These things still affect me everyday and people just guessing and asmuming that im fine or not is really degrading and makes me self conscious. Knowing other people are experiencing the same things Worse or the same helps alot.

two things that i wanna comment after that. firstly, i know me and many others so appreciate the fact that you guys continues to show up to create content for us and are so authentically yourselves, no matter what you're feeling or going through on a given day. it is so important that we are able to see you guys as authentic people, not as characters that are always perfect because that's life and that's humans! i think the show up as you are message that you guys convey is so powerful and i appreciate that so much! secondly, with that being said, never, ever feel like you have to keep pumping out content if you're not up to it. we care about you guys infinitely more than we care about the content you create so, and i think i can speak for a lot of us, we would much prefer that you guys are okay and taking care of yourselves rather than having more content.

I love that Ryan is so open and shares this with us. ❤️

I love how you brought this up in a fun way and drove home the point that people should just come as they are in any situation. That helped me today and I’m glad I watched this video. Well done 👏

Thank you so much for making this. I've been looking to find more understanding on this topic due to things happening in my life and I'm very greatful to have been able to watch this.

I love how you guys are so honest, sincere and teach us so much! I struggle with mental illnesses and this video is just the proof that mental illnesses are not easily seen! Thank you so much for this

I got oddly really emotional while watching this. I've been having a hard time lately, and seeing you guys be so open and also so supportive of each other meant a lot.

you both are struggling with so much, and as someone who also deals with these issues, i appreciate how much effort you both put in these videos even if you arent feeling 100 percent. i just found out about you guys but you bring me so much comfort. thank you ❤

Always good to see Sam and Ryan upload a brand new video yall makes my day love you guys I never thought ryan will be depressed in some of these videos he seems like open minded person. I was battling through depression back then it was hard to get through it.

you guys really always help me trough the hard days. i struggle really like ryan. and have such hard days often. thank you for talking so openly about this and being such a light in the week for me. you guys are my ultimate comfort channel ❤️❤️

The way so many of the things from this video could be taken out of context is so funny. Also great video guys I love when y’all talk about important things like this 🖤

As someone with depression I got most of them right because I deal with mine in the same way Ryan does. When I come off as more energetic is usually because I'm trying to mask my depression by overcompensating, but when I'm not depressed I just seem chill.

I love how u guys talk openly, and showing confidence. I love ur videos so muchhh💗💗

Thanks for being so vulnerable here and choosing to share this incredibly personal information with us! I would have said “not depressed” to every video here, which is a testament to the exceptional work and energy you put into your channel. I thoroughly enjoy all your content and thank you both so much for sharing. ❤

this made me so happy as a person with depression. although I could guess a lot of the depressed videos correctly, it's kind of relieving to know that others can't always tell, even if they really deeply know you, because I worry that my depressed days bring other people down too. thanks for speaking up about mental health!

Thank you for sharing and being open about this topic. I've struggled with depression for as long as I can remember. I was able to guess a lot of these correctly, because I know firsthand how well people who have depression can hide and mask those feelings, so some of the ones where Ryan seemed extra upbeat and energetic (but was actually depressed) made me think it was from years of practice from having to slip that mask on at school, or work, or life. Definitely not to say that you can't be/aren't upbeat and energetic when you aren't depressed too, but hopefully that makes sense!

You guys never fail to make me smile and helped me a whole lot when I was/am really struggling with my depression and anxiety and overall my mental health you guys are the absolute best and besties if y’all are going through depression and struggling I send you all my love and virtual hugs 🫂

Love your content. I always look forward to your videos. You all have helped me get through unwell mental health. So thank you for that. Keep doing what ur doing. ❤

Thank you for addressing that it's okay to not be okay and you have the ability to reach out about it and that sometimes not everything is a ray of sunshine. We are here for you throughout your journeys!

As a person who deals with both depression and anxiety, learning that two people I love watching and look up to both deal with it as well is super reassuring. I feel like no one else will openly talk about this stuff like you guys do, and I'm super grateful for that.

I love you so much Sam & Ryan! Thank you guys for being so open about mental health, it truly means the world 💜

Im always on a rollercoaster ride with my depressions and it’s pretty impressive that you are so open about it and I’m very sorry that some people feel the need to criticize you in the comments about things like that. Life isn’t always great, not everyday is like a picture of a beach with a blue Skye and a rainbow, but you guys bring us content. You just cheered me up from a breakdown, actually. It’s amazing and you can be really proud of yourselves. It’s your choice to film or not, if you decide not to, that’s your turn. If you decide to film, that’s also your turn. I want to hug both of you, anxiety and depression is- I just can’t find a good adjective. 😅And it should be normalized to talk about that because that helps so many people. I wish you two the best ❤

We love you weather you're depressed or not! We'll always be here for you Ryan! We love you both and you're both amazing humans! ❤️

HAPPY 100K!!! BEEN HERE SINCE 19K AND YOU GUYS DID LIVESTREAMS AND VLOGS LOL I LOVE YALL!

I haven't known this channel for a long time but i already love you guys so much❤

I love your confidence in talking about this topic which can be sensitive to most. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

As someone who also struggles with depression that ebs and flows I respect the point you're making. A lot of times with depression people will mask that ( I do) and you never can truly know how a person is feeling. Which is what this video has shown. The people who have commented and tried to insert their own narrative about how you appear in videos are rude and disgusting. Y'all keep making fun content I'm here for it! :)

I got 4 out of 6. Some I could tell you seemed low energy and others seemed like "I need to get through this so let me give more energy." But I agree with you. As someone who has depression and anxiety, I agree with you that it just happens and you can't make assumptions or projections on other people. I just appreciate you both because you are willing to speak about and your experiences. I have always loved Ryan's honesty whether he was depressed or not in some of his videos. Always meaningful, honest, and well spoken. You both are amazing and I hope you remember how wonderful you are and strong. You keep fighting no matter what clouds are around you that day

i love you guys your literally so amazing cant wat for more content

This is a wonderful video, thank you!

"It was whether or not you were a good girlfriend" LOL bust out laughing Ryan I think it speaks so much of your character that you choose to show up for others even when you are down. Of course self care is super importnat so it makes me happy that you emphasize that as well. Showing up for others at the cost of your own health shouldn't be glorified. So It's always refreshing to hear that you strive for that balance. You (both) are good and authentic people and that's probably the main reason I keep coming back for more of your content.

CONGRATS ON 100K YOU GUYS

I posted a comment on the contrast in energy between you guys and I want to say that if it hurt you, I apologize. I meant it completely in an opposites attract kind of way. Your guys' energies bounce off of each other. Whether Ryan is depressed or not in the video, you guys make it work. That's one of the things that I like about this channel, your different energies and perspectives. And now you guys finally have the 100k that may feel the same!

The thing that gave it away for me in a couple of the clips was recognizing the masking of depression since that's a HUGE thing that I do.

for a lot of these i was able to guess if ryan was depressed but i think a big part of it is the fact that i also have ldepression and its like easier to distinguish the difference between depression and being like more serious and stuff. it's nice to see people talk about serious stuff like this so openly. the way ryan describes what it feels like is so perfect, some days there'll be pretty much nothing wrong and i just cannot bring myself to get out of bed and do anything, other days i dont have the choice and have to just work through it and sometimes it's noticeable, sometimes it's not.

I was watching this channel yesterday and they had like 98K and now it has 100K Woooooooooooo congrats.

no one: sam: I'm TrYiNg To MaKe DePrEsSiOn SoUnD fUn

LOVE this video! As someone who has both ocd (therefore, anxiety) & depression (so fun!), I find it's almost impossible for people around me to notice I'm actually depressed unless I want them to lol. I can be my "happiest" often when I'm depressed, because I'm masking just to make it through the day... but that's where communication comes in lol. Either way, lets break this stigma, because I am souping sick of it 😇

As someone who also struggles with depression, thank you Sam and Ryan for being so open about your mental health. My family is always saying “but why are you depressed?” And it’s nice to be reminded that sometimes, you’re just depressed and that’s okay! There doesn’t need to be a reason. Sending you both so much love! ❤

I'm not even a minute in, and I love it already.

It breaks my heart to see people just assume things about not only these two, but people in general. Sam and Ryan are wonderful people, and I’m so grateful we get their videos, and that they do make the choice to make their content. All in all, have a wonderful day everyone!

Not gonna lie. This video just made me want to cry. The way Ryan made me feel so see and understood. This was probably a decently hard video to post. But I am so thankful you but this out.

I think you are the real reason a lot of my views on celebrity relationships have changed. I went from "shipping" and listening to rumors and unsupported accusations, to really using my own eyes and doing the work to see if people might just be saying things because they sound good. I learned to just be happy that my favorite celebrities are happy. No sides, no fighting about it, I just love and encourage the celebrities I like. I listen when they set boundaries (like Barrett is fighting to do now, even though she shouldn't HAVE to fight) I respect people's privacy. I think it was right around the time Tom Holland stepped out of the limelight for a break and everyone was freaking out. I remember saying to myself, "How's his career my business?" So I messaged both of them and told them I wished them the best. I try to focus on them as individuals rather than as only a couple. I remember they are just regular humans like me. Everyone needs time, space, and privacy to heal and grow as human beings. That has been life-changing in my interactions with everyone honestly.

As a person with ASD and Major Depressive Disorder, I am no stranger to masking! 😂 But because I mask I learned to psychoanalyze ppl to interact with them. (Plus I have a creepy strong intuition) I am very thankful that you made this video! I also enjoyed playing along with Sam; I will take any chance to put my psychoanalysis and intuition to work! I hope everyone stays safe, happy, and healthy! Drink water, take your meds, and eat what sustains you! Prosperity to all who reads this; so mote it be! P.S I was gonna talk abt my analysis and my score but felt it was better not to. All love to Ryan and Sam have a great life! 😊

I'm glad you made this. I did find myself feeling a bit frustrated at Ryan in that recent Heathers video. I've known a lot of people who just sort of act like they don't care about something which always annoyed me because I'd wonder why do it then? It makes a lot of sense to me that maybe he was depressed during that. I could easily have left one of those comments they showed at the start - I don't think I did though, and I'm glad. Putting someone down because of what is essentially due to their illness can't help. Maybe they thought they were being constructive in terms of expressing the energy they want him to have in videos, but if the guy's depressed then that's not his fault and what can ya do. Much love

the smile at 11:08 omg 😭

Thank you for talking about this ❤ and ah yes depression ✨️Fun✨️

Ryan, we wouldn't keep watching every video if we didn't enjoy you. Love you BOTH

As a person who has depression too... Obtuve 5/6 porque identifiqué muchas cosas que me pasan a mí y que nadie nota Tener depresión para mi es como una ruleta rusa, nunca estoy segura de cuando inicia o acaba Hoy fue un mal día y nadie lo notó y este video llegó perfectamente cuando lo necesitaba Thank u guys 🤍

as a fellow depresso espresso i got 6/6 haha i think it could be harder for Sam to see up close cuz she remembers being there and we see it more broad and objective maybe? thanks for being open about your mental health experiences Ryan!

Depresso espresso 😭😭😭

I got pretty gnarly anxiety, take meds and stuff for em, also have a nice side dish of depression for fun. So I literally feel both of yall at all times. Sometimes I pretty much feel like Sam like very similar, bubbly energy. Then other times I feel more like Ryan, little less bubbly. Even if interested.

As I person with depression I got them all right... love this for us

It’s okay sam… I’m also depresso espresso !!

I got 5 out of 6 and I also guessed that he was in fact depressed while filming this. So that's 15 out of 6😅 (mainly guessed based on body language and small things I noticed). In all seriousness: thank you for being willing to talk about mental health. As someone whose family doesn't really understand mental health, it's great to hear people I've been watching for a long time acknowledge and talk about it❤❤

Watching your videos I wouldn’t be able to know that Sam has Anxiety or Ryan has Depression. I mean I also suffer form depression but I just thought Ryan behaved that way because he’s just tired but I now know there’s some videos that his depression may be affecting him. But you guys make me smile and laugh while watching your videos. You guys make me happy. Thank you

SAAAAAM WHERE'S YOUR TOP FROM ITS SO CUTE also, thank you for this video

I love the point of this video and it is a really important thing to keep in mind - you don't know how someone is feeling. With that being said, I randomly 'guessed' 5/6 correct lol and had my gut answer a couple seconds after he started talking. Basing completely on how at ease he came off. ^ BUT I only did it because it was the point of the video/game. I've never thought before ooo this guy seems really depressed or not. Love ya guys!

여자분 보조개 너무 맑고 이뻐 그냥 말하고 싶엇쩡😇

This is such an important video

it's the way half of this video is going in my reaction meme folder lmao

People don’t really talk about masking in terms of depression. You hear about it for autism and adhd but not depression. As a fellow masker of depression, I was able to guess 5 out of 6 correctly. I wasn’t looking for depression. I was looking for masking. We get very good at not letting others see what’s inside of that dark part of us. We don’t even know we are doing it. And the statement about contextualizing things that can’t be contextualized is perfect and it’s what a lot of people without depression don’t realize. Depression is a thing that just happens to us. Everything can be in our favor and we might be depressed. Sad or disappointing things might be happening and instead of depressed we are able to power through it because that day we aren’t depressed. There doesn’t need to be a reason.

we love an emotional daddy. arent we all

“Can I guess if my boyfriends depressed?” I do a similar game with people I'm comfortable with “thriving or surviving” I say that if I think somethings wrong and they could say “slightly thriving” or “barely surviving” Also I really love that you openly talk about depression and anxiety. As someone who struggles with both seeing it be talked about more is rlly nice. ❤

I got 4/6 I recognized a lot from when I'm dealing with my own depression and how I looked in photos

i got 4/6 im proud about that. alsooo lots of loveeee

I love this video mostly because I also periodically suffer more from my mental health and not a lot of people know.

This episode was brought to you by Depression™: It's fun!

Got 5/6 Correct, but I'm a doctor (not in mental health though). In general, and without re-watching this to validate the comment, it strikes me that Ryan took less care of his personal appearance when he was depressed. And that makes sense to me. You two are cute. Thanks for your treatment of the subject.

dad's were so close to 100k!!!

Does this video bug out for anyone else if they have it playing while checking the notifications (🔔) icon on the top right? I did that and the screen tore.

I got 5/6 (the only one I got wrong was the Disney one) as well as got the bonus correct. It’s probably because I’ve been depressed all of Covid (not because of Covid family issues and other things) as well as have always gravitated to people that need a friend so most of my friends have depression or some other mental illness. Either way sending love to you Ryan💗

I played along. And I got most right, but then again I am currently depressed, so I don't know if it's just sense the depression because of mine. I've watch something similar months ago. And I got most wrong. I was not depressed at that point in time. It's like when you are it's easier to sense when others are too.

Why do I think he would have been a GREAT Jughead?

I hate when people are mean to Ryan fck all those haters they don’t understand what depression is like clearly ❤❤ love you guys so much (Ryan your my fav actor)

If I wasn’t familiar with your channel, I would have 100% believed you in the introduction because Sam is obviously common for both boys and girls, but I have met two girls named Ryan (just spelled differently)

Omg! I say depresso espresso as my code with my family for when I am depressed

currently depressed watching this :)

got everything except the ones Sam got hahah
