I felt like I'd been living two different lives.

and then there's the life that only I see.

If you were to ask my friends and family to describe me,

And that's a huge part of me. That is who I am.

And if you were to ask me to describe myself,

I'd probably say some of those same things.

but I wouldn't totally be telling you the truth, either,

is someone who struggles intensely with depression.

I have for the last six years of my life,

Now, for someone who has never experienced depression

because there's this pretty popular misconception

But that's sadness. That's a natural thing.

when everything in your life is going right.

That's real depression, and that's what I suffer from.

that's hard for me to stand up here and say.

and it seems to be hard for everyone to talk about,

so much so that no one's talking about it.

And no one's talking about depression, but we need to be,

because right now it's a massive problem.

But we don't see it on social media, right?

We don't see it on Facebook. We don't see it on Twitter.

We don't see it on the news, because it's not happy,

And so because we don't see it, we don't see the severity of it.

But the severity of it and the seriousness of it is this:

someone in the world takes their own life

and it might be two blocks away, it might be two countries away,

it might be two continents away, but it's happening,

So what? We look at that, and we go, "That's your problem.

I was suicidal, and if you were to look at my life on the surface,

You'd see a kid who was the captain of his basketball team,

the drama and theater student of the year,

someone who was consistently on the honor roll

So you would say I wasn't depressed, you would say

I wasn't suicidal, but you would be wrong.

You would be wrong. So I sat there that night

beside a bottle of pills with a pen and paper in my hand

And I didn't, so that makes me one of the lucky ones,

one of the people who gets to step out on the ledge

Well, I survived, and that just leaves me with my story,

In four simple words, I suffer from depression.

I was living two totally different lives,

where one person was always afraid of the other.

I was afraid that people would see me for who I really was,

that I wasn't the perfect, popular kid in high school everyone thought I was,

that beneath my smile, there was struggle,

and beneath my big personality just hid even bigger pain.
