“First of all, let me tell you that I have been turning around making this video for many months, there was something that stopped me, but there was also something that made me able to share it. It is a very difficult topic to comment on for many reasons, but it is related to depression or the different twists and turns that mental health can have, ”he started by saying.
“This sadness is something that has accompanied me for many years of my life. Unfortunately it has been getting a little more complex as time goes on. And it is difficult to talk about it because I believe that there are still many prejudices in relation to the subject. So, it is inevitable to feel a little fright, fear, fear, apprehension, to be able to say what one feels, “he explained. Jean Philippe.
Regarding his reasons for making the video, he commented that “I feel that it is good to be able to say what one feels, but it is difficult to talk about it because we live in a very competitive society, very successful, where what is postulated is the idea that everything always has to be okay. That there must be good results, that there must be happiness, that things must always be done with a lot of energy, with a lot of optimism… So, those of us who cannot access that locker, we are left out”, he pointed out by way of reflection .
Jean Philippe Cretton: “I’m having a hard time working”
“We are also branded very easily as weak people or it can even lead to such painful damage and I think that is why it costs the world, it costs me the world lately. There are things that have always been of interest that are diluted, as in my case, for example, music, it is very difficult for me to be able to pick up the guitar, ”he revealed, mentioning that his motivations have been decreasing because he thinks that no one will listen to his songs.
“And the same thing happens to me at work. I’m having a hard time working I’m having a hard time putting programs on the air and it’s quite paradoxical because the program I’m on now is having very good results. But it’s hard for me It is difficult for me to get up, it is difficult for me to go, it is difficult for me to talk, it is difficult for me to speak”Cretton said.
“And I wanted to share it, not to be embarrassed or anything like that. It is what people who are in this situation like least, but perhaps to seek certain voices of empathy. Or try to tell those who are in a similar situation that finally we are not alone. That can happen to all of us”, indicated the animator of We can talk.
In addition, he commented that people with depression usually get the type of questions: “Why are you going to be down or down? Good catch, healthy daughter. Which is true, but those of us who are in this situation find it very difficult to see from that perspective because there is something deeper that is what affects it”.
“That’s why I wanted to express this, it’s hard for me to talk about these things because I also feel that over time one begins to be the latero… But something makes me want to say it, want to share it and hopefully that something makes sense, and also generates a situation of support, hugs, support for those of us who are going through this kind of thing, “the video closed.
In addition, in the description he wrote: “A message that I hope will help. That shows that it is always good to talk. It has cost me to do it, but an important part of healing has to do with being able to show myself as I am, with the good and the bad.”
“You can, you always can and I felt that being able to share this with you will help lighten the load. It’s scary because you don’t know what consequences showing your weaknesses can have, but the exquisite thing about living and being human is that we have emotions. A huge hug to those who are in the same battle and thanks for so much love, “he said.
