I see a black dog with clothes: https://videosift.com/avatars/n/newtboy.jpg.

Why is it that leftest see everything as racist?

So narrow minded.

When you see a white man walking a black dog you see it as racist.

Nothing racist in yesterdays NY subway shooting. Just a radical leftest drinking the fake news Kool Aid.

Brown dog has sore tooth, black dog pre-chewing because it's heart is so huge.

Yea hes down have the right to stop them and yell at them for running up and and down the street.

If you had hooligans running up and down you street on ATVs then yes stop them ant talk to them and indicate your position of dislike.

Color has nothing to do with it . To you everything is raciest. A white man walking a black dog is raciest. lighten up.

There should not be charges against walker ( atv rider) but against Brower ( want to be cop)

That's interesting. My father told me my grandfather would do something along the same lines. He was a chaplain in the South Pacific and would give clues to where he was, for example by asking about their neighbors with the black dog. That family's name was Marshall so they knew he was in the Marshall Islands.

You see a white guy walking a black dog and you see racism.
Every thing you do and see is through a racist prism.
Narrow minded NEWT

Clear violation my but.

I like the black dog going in circles.

My black dog will fuck your black dog up son!

Idk about the brain chemistry bit. Its my suspicion that depression is not really very well defined; that its symptoms, causes and treatment vary for each case. I don't think having suffered/being a sufferer of depression gives me any unique insight into the colour and shape of others' demons. It's horrible to see somebody suffering, know exactly how it feels and still not know what to say to help them. Having support from friends and family helps, but still its a lonely battle indeed.

Anyway. The shame is awful and I'm glad videos like this exist because I think it goes some way to fixing that.

Black dog makin' you sweat. Black dog makin' you groove.

I was reading an editorial in the paper just this morning and the writer was stating that the connection between depression (along with other mental illnesses) and brain chemistry may not be as strong as we once believed it to be. The pharmaceutical industry and various mental health organizations were both promoting this, albeit for different reasons, big pharma for the obvious financial gains and mental health groups pushed it because people seem to accept mental health problems better if they believe it's because there is something physically wrong with someone.
I'm not sure how much I believe it yet, but I know from my own experiences that my own depression seems pretty much impervious to anything out there, I do take bupropion though. @shinyblurry, I'll echo many others here by saying that hope is a carrot at the end of a stick that's leading you off a cliff, hope is a sign on a storefront that's reminding you that disappointment will be back in five minutes, for many people with depression, hope is bullshit.
Now, I believe that you meant perfectly well with your thoughts of hope but I do think it's important to know that to many people suffering from depression might see that as a glib statement, implying that we can just turn our suffering on or off like a light switch.
Oh, and my black dog has three heads and is not to be fucked with, he thinks the one in this video looks like a pussy.

As someone with plenty of experience with this subject, I can't say it's as easy as you may think.

It's not simply a lack or hope, or anti-hope. Many people with depression are very hopeful. They want things to change. What they don't see is any possibility of that hope coming true. They see no actualization of that hope.

"Hey, it gets better" is a hopeful statement that almost no one with real, severe depression will ever take to heart. Because frankly, what sometimes goes through their head instead is "yeah, things will get better when I'm not here."

Then again, depression is different for each person. And it's not always a lack of seeing a "future." There's also the waking up every morning and having to look at yourself, and see that terrible person looking back. That failure, complete loser, totally unloved and unbearably ugly. No amount of "hope" will change that. You can't "hope" you're way out of the feeling of total, complete and utter useless. To feel like anything you do matters.

Hell, hope can sometimes make it worse. You can hope for something, and then when it doesn't materialize, it makes the depression worse.

That, and as the video points out, there's also just simply a lack of enjoyment in life. Hoping to enjoy something?

Ultimately, the thing I love most about this video is the narrator doesn't mention hope. He doesn't talk about hope. Hope isn't the solution. The entire time, exercise was running through my head and finally he said it.

IMHO, the ultimate cure is to face it. Head on. When the black dog tells you are ugly, you prove it wrong. When it says stay home, you go out. Of course, the issue then becomes learning which voice is the dogs, and which is simply your own.

Meaningless. If someone knew of something to hope for that would make them feel better, they wouldn't be depressed.

Also this black dog that sometimes takes joy out of things that usually give pleasure. That seems a hell of a lot better than not getting pleasure from things at all.
