Dear all viewers and listeners, I´d like to thank you all from the buttom of my heart for taking this topic seriously as it should. I admire and respect all those who are very brave and couragous for sharing their stories in the comment bar, it takes guts to do so. I may not reply each and everyone of you, but I just want you to know that I truly care. This thing called "depression" is not a joke and I will do my very best to raise awareness so those who does not take it seriously will start to do it. We, the Karen community cannot afford to lose lives. You don´t need to be a superhuman to save a friend or a human-being from taking their own lives, most of the time you just need to be there and listen. Thank you so much for sharing your stories, let´s go through this together. You´re not alone :) All Love!

Depression is not the Joke bro hit me up every time 🙏💪😭

This is a really good topic to talk about. In our community, not a lot of people aware of or believe in mental health. The hardest things are whenever I have to explain it to my parent what it is. They don't think it is a serious thing. I know a few people who have it but it sad their parents don’t do anything cause they think it's not something serious.

Thank you for sharing and having a podcast. Also, thank you Big Bird for making a song about depression. I be having depression and anxiety for so many year. Family problem, family responsibility, relationship problem, self esteem, school work, jobs, and a lot of things going on in my life. I have thinking about killing my self and leave everything behind. I was a Christian but I wasn’t that close to god. I have be talk with therapy at school but it doesn’t help. I was even cutting my hand and even when I cry I feel like no body understand me and I feel like I have no one to talk with. Even when I have a lot of friend I still feel like I can’t talk to them. But, sometime I found myself I talk a lot about my self and sometime thing that I shouldn’t have share I share with them. And it lead me feeling guilty again and I felt more guilty about it. Then I met one friend she not Karen she is Hmong and older then me and she brought me closer to God. Tell me to not feel bad for my self and not to let bad spirits control me and let god handle everything that going on in my life. After that I found my self talking by my self, I was talking with god when I drive around. Once I was feeling very very depressed and I drove around and started to talk to god and I was crying so hard and ask god to help me and I told him everything and he listen to me and I see that things around me are starting to change and having a new clear mind. Now whatever I do I thank god and alway pray to Lord and alway alway relying on him. Because it change me a lot and whenever I talk to god I feel like he alway listen to me and didn’t judge me.

19:30 Bipolar disorder is something we should be aware of. I’m glad he explained the topic very well. In the western world these types of disorders can be manageable with early diagnosis. In our Karen community we still have a long way to go due to our lack of knowledge and resources. Regardless, I appreciate you both for using your platforms to bring the awareness.

I will be a good listener for Big Bird.... 😊He is my great teacher

Useful conversation

Thank you guys for valuable information. Please, Make more ...

Thanks for share bro

Make some Gospel song and Christmas song in the future. Wanna hear it.

That is some deep stuff Toh Pah Doh is talking about.

When someone have depression they can also over eat. Some people use foods to cope with depression.

Depression is very serious. I agree with you that exercise and prayers help a lot. I used to think that exercise is only for those who are overweight. Also, I pray but my mind would blow everywhere. Then I create a plan to do 1 week challenge of exercise by running 30 minutes everyday, and pray when I wake up in the morning and before going to bed. I did it for a week and I have experienced the change.

Pray for people who got depression. Depression is very serious I had experienced that before

Interview lilcracra

Many but one could be prayer. pray can privately change

စိတ်စါတ်ကျရေ၁ဂါလို့ခေါ်ပါတယ်

I don't want to listen without crying coz I'm tired of it. I hope one day I have the gut to talk about my depressions like others coz depression is no joke and I hope everybody aware of that. If you need help ask for it until it's too late. But above all who can only help you is our father in heaven.

Maybe that is orgrinal sin bro
