For a long time in my life,
0
342
2759
Dugo vremena u mom životu,
00:15
I felt like I'd been living two different lives.
1
3101
4591
osjećao sam se kao da živim
dva različita života.
dva različita života.
00:19
There's the life that everyone sees,
2
7692
3405
Jedan život koji svi vide
00:23
and then there's the life that only I see.
3
11097
3707
i drugi koji samo ja vidim.
00:26
And in the life that everyone sees,
4
14804
2520
U životu koji svi vide,
00:29
who I am is a friend,
5
17324
2474
ja sam prijatelj,
00:31
a son, a brother,
6
19798
2555
sin, brat,
00:34
a stand-up comedian and a teenager.
7
22353
3626
stand-up komičar i tinejdžer.
00:37
That's the life everyone sees.
8
25979
1841
To je život koji svi vide.
Ako biste pitali prijatelje i obitelj
00:39
If you were to ask my friends and family to describe me,
9
27820
1526
da me opišu, to bi vam rekli.
00:41
that's what they would tell you.
10
29346
1839
00:43
And that's a huge part of me. That is who I am.
11
31185
1998
To je veliki dio mene. To sam ja.
Ako biste mene pitali da sam sebe opišem,
00:45
And if you were to ask me to describe myself,
12
33183
2810
00:47
I'd probably say some of those same things.
13
35993
2922
vjerojatno bih vam rekao te iste stvari.
00:50
And I wouldn't be lying,
14
38915
3561
I ne bih vam lagao,
00:54
but I wouldn't totally be telling you the truth, either,
15
42476
3530
ali niti bih vam rekao skroz istinu,
00:58
because the truth is,
16
46006
1527
zato što je istina
00:59
that's just the life everyone else sees.
17
47533
3172
da je to samo život koji svi drugi vide.
01:02
In the life that only I see, who I am,
18
50705
3763
U životu koji samo ja vidim, tko sam ja,
01:06
who I really am,
19
54468
1927
tko sam zaista ja,
01:08
is someone who struggles intensely with depression.
20
56395
4435
ja sam osoba koja se intenizivno bori sa
depresijom.
depresijom.
01:12
I have for the last six years of my life,
21
60830
2677
Tako je zadnjih šest godina mog života
01:15
and I continue to every day.
22
63507
5119
i tako je svaki dan.
01:20
Now, for someone who has never experienced depression
23
68626
2497
Netko tko nikada nije iskusio depresiju
ili mu nije jasno što to znači,
01:23
or doesn't really know what that means,
24
71123
1202
01:24
that might surprise them to hear,
25
72325
1383
to bih ih moglo iznenaditi
01:25
because there's this pretty popular misconception
26
73708
1905
jer prevladava pogrešno shvaćanje
01:27
that depression is just being sad
27
75613
2747
da je depresija stanje tuge
01:30
when something in your life goes wrong,
28
78360
2488
kada nešto u životu krene po zlu,
01:32
when you break up with your girlfriend,
29
80848
1642
prekineš sa djevojkom,
01:34
when you lose a loved one,
30
82490
1391
izgubiš nekoga koga voliš,
ne dobiješ posao kojeg želiš.
01:35
when you don't get the job you wanted.
31
83881
1751
Međutim, to je tuga. To je normalno.
01:37
But that's sadness. That's a natural thing.
32
85632
1987
01:39
That's a natural human emotion.
33
87619
1912
To je normalna ljudska emocija.
01:41
Real depression isn't being sad
34
89531
4198
Prava depresija nije biti tužan
01:45
when something in your life goes wrong.
35
93729
2629
kada nešto u životu krene po zlu.
01:48
Real depression is being sad
36
96358
1786
Prava depresija je biti tužan
01:50
when everything in your life is going right.
37
98144
3269
kada je sve u tvom životu dobro.
01:53
That's real depression, and that's what I suffer from.
38
101413
2485
To je prava depresija i
od toga ja bolujem.
od toga ja bolujem.
01:55
And to be totally honest,
39
103898
2125
Da budem potpuno iskren,
01:58
that's hard for me to stand up here and say.
40
106023
2814
teško mi je ovdje stajati i to reći.
Teško mi je o tome pričati
02:00
It's hard for me to talk about,
41
108837
1721
02:02
and it seems to be hard for everyone to talk about,
42
110558
2763
i čini se da je svakome teško
o tome pričati,
o tome pričati,
02:05
so much so that no one's talking about it.
43
113321
2368
toliko da nitko o tome ne priča.
02:07
And no one's talking about depression, but we need to be,
44
115689
2394
I nitko ne priča o depresiji,
ali trebali bismo
ali trebali bismo
02:10
because right now it's a massive problem.
45
118083
3742
jer je to ogroman problem.
02:13
It's a massive problem.
46
121825
1670
To je ogroman problem.
Ali to ne vidimo u masovnim medijima,
zar ne?
zar ne?
02:15
But we don't see it on social media, right?
47
123495
1802
02:17
We don't see it on Facebook. We don't see it on Twitter.
48
125297
2088
To ne vidimo na Facebooku.
Niti na Twitteru.
Niti na Twitteru.
02:19
We don't see it on the news, because it's not happy,
49
127385
1822
Niti na vijestima,
zato što nije veselo,
zato što nije veselo,
02:21
it's not fun, it's not light.
50
129207
1629
nije zabavno, nije lako.
02:22
And so because we don't see it, we don't see the severity of it.
51
130836
3595
I zato što se ne susrećemo s time,
ne vidimo ozbiljnost toga.
ne vidimo ozbiljnost toga.
02:26
But the severity of it and the seriousness of it is this:
52
134431
3759
Težina i ozbiljnost toga jest da
02:30
every 30 seconds,
53
138190
1723
svakih 30 sekundi,
02:31
every 30 seconds, somewhere,
54
139913
2204
svakih 30 sekundi, negdje,
02:34
someone in the world takes their own life
55
142117
2193
netko u svijetu si oduzme život
02:36
because of depression,
56
144310
1077
zbog depresije,
možda se događa dvije ulice dalje,
dvije države dalje,
dvije države dalje,
02:37
and it might be two blocks away, it might be two countries away,
57
145387
2240
02:39
it might be two continents away, but it's happening,
58
147627
1530
dva kontinenta dalje, ali se događa
02:41
and it's happening every single day.
59
149157
2570
i događa se svaki dan.
02:43
And we have a tendency, as a society,
60
151727
2964
Mi kao društvo imamo sklonost
02:46
to look at that and go, "So what?"
61
154691
5246
da to vidimo i kažemo: "Pa što onda?"
02:51
So what? We look at that, and we go, "That's your problem.
62
159937
4655
"Pa što onda?" Vidmo i kažemo:
"To je tvoj problem.
"To je tvoj problem.
02:56
That's their problem."
63
164592
2403
To je njihov problem."
02:58
We say we're sad and we say we're sorry,
64
166995
1852
Kažemo da smo tužni i da nam je žao,
ali isto tako kažemo: "Pa što?"
03:00
but we also say, "So what?"
65
168847
1377
03:02
Well, two years ago it was my problem,
66
170224
4683
Prije dvije godine to je bio moj problem,
03:06
because I sat on the edge of my bed
67
174907
4057
zato što sam sjedio na rubu kreveta
03:10
where I'd sat a million times before
68
178964
3360
gdje sam sjedio milijun puta prije
03:14
and I was suicidal.
69
182324
2816
i bio sam suicidalan.
03:17
I was suicidal, and if you were to look at my life on the surface,
70
185140
3926
Bio sam suicidalan, a kada biste pogledali
moj život na površini,
moj život na površini,
ne biste vidjeli klinca
koji je bio suicidalan.
koji je bio suicidalan.
03:21
you wouldn't see a kid who was suicidal.
71
189066
2242
Vidjeli biste klinca koji je bio
kapetan košarkaškog tima,
kapetan košarkaškog tima,
03:23
You'd see a kid who was the captain of his basketball team,
72
191308
2116
03:25
the drama and theater student of the year,
73
193424
2061
najboljeg studenta glume i dramaturgije,
najboljeg studenta engleskog,
03:27
the English student of the year,
74
195485
959
03:28
someone who was consistently on the honor roll
75
196444
1828
nekog tko je neprekidno primao priznanja
03:30
and consistently at every party.
76
198272
3673
i dosljedno bio na svakoj zabavi.
Rekli biste da nisam depresivan,
03:33
So you would say I wasn't depressed, you would say
77
201945
1641
03:35
I wasn't suicidal, but you would be wrong.
78
203586
2711
rekli biste da nisam suicidalan,
ali bili biste u krivu.
ali bili biste u krivu.
03:38
You would be wrong. So I sat there that night
79
206297
1439
I tako sam sjedio te noći
03:39
beside a bottle of pills with a pen and paper in my hand
80
207736
4038
kraj bočice pilula, s olovkom i papirom
u ruci
u ruci
03:43
and I thought about taking my own life
81
211774
1988
i razmišljao da si oduzmem život
03:45
and I came this close to doing it.
82
213762
3352
i došao sam poprilično blizu da to učinim.
Došao sam ovoliko blizu da to učinim.
03:49
I came this close to doing it.
83
217114
1682
03:50
And I didn't, so that makes me one of the lucky ones,
84
218796
3128
Ali nisam i to me čini srećkovićem,
03:53
one of the people who gets to step out on the ledge
85
221924
2135
jednim od onih koji dođu do litice
03:56
and look down but not jump,
86
224059
2261
i pogledaju dolje, ali se ne bace,
03:58
one of the lucky ones who survives.
87
226320
2005
jednim od sretnika koji su preživjeli.
04:00
Well, I survived, and that just leaves me with my story,
88
228325
2397
Preživio sam i tu je nastala moja priča,
04:02
and my story is this:
89
230722
2405
a moja priča je:
04:05
In four simple words, I suffer from depression.
90
233127
3353
u četiri jednostavne riječi,
ja patim od depresije.
ja patim od depresije.
04:08
I suffer from depression,
91
236480
2430
Patim od depresije,
04:10
and for a long time, I think,
92
238910
7320
i mislim da sam dugo vremena
04:18
I was living two totally different lives,
93
246230
2596
živio dva potpuno različita života,
gdje se jedna osoba uvijek bojala druge.
04:20
where one person was always afraid of the other.
94
248826
1861
Bojao sam se da će ljudi vidjeti
tko sam zaista,
tko sam zaista,
04:22
I was afraid that people would see me for who I really was,
95
250687
2099
04:24
that I wasn't the perfect, popular kid in high school everyone thought I was,
96
252786
3242
da nisam savršen, popularan srednjoškolac
za kojeg su me svi smatrali,
za kojeg su me svi smatrali,
04:28
that beneath my smile, there was struggle,
97
256028
2425
ispod mog osmijeha krila se borba,
04:30
and beneath my light, there was dark,
98
258453
1963
ispod mog svijetla, tama,
04:32
and beneath my big personality just hid even bigger pain.
99
260416
4377
a ispod moje velike osobnosti se krila
još veća patnja.
još veća patnja.
04:36
See, some people might fear girls not liking them back.
100
264793
2637
Neki dečki se boje da se neće
svidjeti djevojkama.
svidjeti djevojkama.
Neki ljudi se boje morskih pasa.
Neki se boje smrti.
Neki se boje smrti.
04:39
Some people might fear sharks. Some people might fear death.
101
267430
2089
04:41
But for me, for a large part of my life, I feared myself.
102
269519
4693
Ali ja, veći dio svog života, bojao sam se
samog sebe.
samog sebe.
04:46
I feared my truth, I feared my honesty, I feared my vulnerability,
103
274212
2692
Bojao sam se svoje istine, poštenja,
ranjivosti
ranjivosti
04:48
and that fear made me feel
104
276904
2222
i zbog tog straha sam se osjećao
04:51
like I was forced into a corner,
105
279126
2357
kao da sam stjeran u kut,
04:53
like I was forced into a corner and there was only one way out,
106
281483
3030
kao da sam stjeran u kut iz kojeg postoji
samo jedan izlaz van
samo jedan izlaz van
04:56
and so I thought about that way every single day.
107
284513
3793
i tako sam razmišljao svaki dan.
Razmišljao sam o tome svaki dan
05:00
I thought about it every single day,
108
288306
1447
i da budem u potpunosti iskren,
05:01
and if I'm being totally honest, standing here
109
289753
1671
05:03
I've thought about it again since, because that's the sickness,
110
291424
3373
stojeći ovdje razmišljao sam ponovno
o tome jer je to bolest,
o tome jer je to bolest,
05:06
that's the struggle, that's depression,
111
294797
1934
to je borba, to je depresija
i ona nije kao vodene kozice.
05:08
and depression isn't chicken pox.
112
296731
1219
Ne prebrodite ju jednom i
onda nestane zauvijek.
onda nestane zauvijek.
05:09
You don't beat it once and it's gone forever.
113
297950
1718
05:11
It's something you live with. It's something you live in.
114
299668
2763
To je nešto s čime živite.
To je nešto u čemu živite.
To je nešto u čemu živite.
05:14
It's the roommate you can't kick out. It's the voice you can't ignore.
115
302431
3572
To je cimer kojeg ne možete izbaciti van.
To je glas kojeg ne možete ignorirati.
To je glas kojeg ne možete ignorirati.
05:18
It's the feelings you can't seem to escape,
116
306003
2261
To su osjećaji kojima ne možete pobjeći,
05:20
the scariest part is that after a while,
117
308264
5073
a najstrašniji dio je da nakon
određenog vremena,
određenog vremena,
05:25
you become numb to it. It becomes normal for you,
118
313337
2880
postanete nijemi na to. Postane normalno
05:28
and what you really fear the most
119
316217
2287
i ono čega se najviše bojite,
05:30
isn't the suffering inside of you.
120
318504
2856
nije patnja koju osjećate iznutra,
05:33
It's the stigma inside of others,
121
321360
1516
nego stigma u očima drugih,
05:34
it's the shame, it's the embarrassment,
122
322876
2281
sram, osramoćenost,
05:37
it's the disapproving look on a friend's face,
123
325157
2453
neodobravanje na licima prijatelja,
05:39
it's the whispers in the hallway that you're weak,
124
327610
3464
došaptavanje na hodnicima da ste slabić,
05:43
it's the comments that you're crazy.
125
331074
1401
komentari da ste luđak.
05:44
That's what keeps you from getting help.
126
332475
2100
To vas prijeći da potražite pomoć.
05:46
That's what makes you hold it in and hide it.
127
334575
2994
Zato to držite za sebe i skrivate.
05:49
It's the stigma. So you hold it in and you hide it,
128
337569
2335
To je stigma. I tako to držite u sebi
i skrivate,
i skrivate,
05:51
and you hold it in and you hide it,
129
339904
1862
držite i skrivate,
i iako ste prikovani uz krevet svaki dan,
05:53
and even though it's keeping you in bed every day
130
341766
1676
a vaš život se čini praznim bez obzira
koliko se trudite da ga popunite,
koliko se trudite da ga popunite,
05:55
and it's making your life feel empty no matter how much you try and fill it,
131
343442
2940
05:58
you hide it, because the stigma in our society
132
346382
2163
svejedno to skrivate jer je
stigma u društvu
stigma u društvu
06:00
around depression is very real.
133
348545
2915
u vezi depresije prevelika.
06:03
It's very real, and if you think that it isn't, ask yourself this:
134
351460
3202
Stvarna je i ako mislite da nije,
pitajte se:
pitajte se:
06:06
Would you rather make your next Facebook status
135
354662
1809
Biste li radije napisali na Facebooku
06:08
say you're having a tough time getting out of bed

da vam se teško dignuti iz kreveta
06:10
because you hurt your back
137
358217
2149
jer ste ozlijedili leđa
ili da vam se teško dignuti iz kreveta
svako jutro
svako jutro
06:12
or you're having a tough time getting out of bed every morning
138
360366
1992
06:14
because you're depressed?
139
362358
2100
jer ste depresivni?
06:16
That's the stigma, because unfortunately,
140
364458
2284
To je ta stigma jer, nažalost,
06:18
we live in a world where if you break your arm,
141
366742
2468
živimo u svijetu u kojem ako slomite ruku,
06:21
everyone runs over to sign your cast,
142
369210
2674
svatko trči da vam se potpiše na gips,
ali ako kažete ljudima da ste depresivni,
svi bježe od vas.
svi bježe od vas.
06:23
but if you tell people you're depressed, everyone runs the other way.
143
371899
2801
06:26
That's the stigma.
144
374700
2500
To je stigma.
06:29
We are so, so, so accepting of any body part breaking down
145
377200
4966
Mi tako, tako, tako lako prihvaćamo
propadanje bilo kojeg dijela tijela
propadanje bilo kojeg dijela tijela
06:34
other than our brains. And that's ignorance.
146
382166
3102
osim našeg mozga. I to je neznanje.
06:37
That's pure ignorance, and that ignorance has created
147
385268
2012
To je čisto neznanje i to neznanje stvara
svijet koji ne razumije depresiju,
06:39
a world that doesn't understand depression,
148
387280
1564
06:40
that doesn't understand mental health.
149
388844
2506
koji ne razumije mentalno zdravlje.
06:43
And that's ironic to me, because depression
150
391350
1953
I to je ironično zato što je depresija
jedna od najbolje dokumentiranih problema
u svijetu,
u svijetu,
06:45
is one of the best documented problems we have in the world,
151
393303
2510
06:47
yet it's one of the least discussed.
152
395813
2045
ali se ipak o tome najmanje priča.
06:49
We just push it aside and put it in a corner
153
397858
2436
Mi to samo stavimo sa strane, u kut
06:52
and pretend it's not there and hope it'll fix itself.
154
400294
3587
i pretvaramo se da nije tu i da će se
riješiti samo od sebe.
riješiti samo od sebe.
06:55
Well, it won't. It hasn't, and it's not going to,
155
403881
3342
Neće. Nije i neće,
06:59
because that's wishful thinking,
156
407223
1891
to su samo puste želje,
07:01
and wishful thinking isn't a game plan, it's procrastination,
157
409114
2773
a puste želje ne mijenjaju stvari, nego
su odugovlačenje,
su odugovlačenje,
07:03
and we can't procrastinate on something this important.
158
411887
4929
a ne smijemo odugovlačiti s nečim
tako ozbiljnim.
tako ozbiljnim.
07:08
The first step in solving any problem
159
416816
3391
Prvi korak u rješavanju bilo kojeg
problema
problema
07:12
is recognizing there is one.
160
420207
1483
je priznati da postoji.
07:13
Well, we haven't done that, so we can't really expect
161
421690
2758
Mi to još nismo učinili, tako da ne možemo
očekivati
očekivati
07:16
to find an answer when we're still afraid of the question.
162
424448
3185
da ćemo naći odgovor na pitanja koja
se još uvijek bojimo postaviti.
se još uvijek bojimo postaviti.
07:19
And I don't know what the solution is.
163
427633
3779
Ne znam koje je riješenje.
07:23
I wish I did, but I don't -- but I think,
164
431412
2461
Volio bih da znam, ali ne znam --
ali mislim,
ali mislim,
07:25
I think it has to start here.
165
433873
2008
mislim da mora početi ovdje.
07:27
It has to start with me, it has to start with you,
166
435881
2399
Mora početi sa mnom, s vama,
07:30
it has to start with the people who are suffering,
167
438280
3418
s ljudima koje pate,
s onima koji se skrivaju u sjeni.
07:33
the ones who are hidden in the shadows.
168
441698
1417
07:35
We need to speak up and shatter the silence.
169
443115
2000
Trebamo progovoriti i razbiti tišinu.
07:37
We need to be the ones who are brave for what we believe in,
170
445115
2319
Trebamo biti hrabri u onome
u što vjerujemo,
u što vjerujemo,
07:39
because if there's one thing that I've come to realize,
171
447434
3175
zato što jedna stvar koju sam shvatio,
07:42
if there's one thing that I see as the biggest problem,
172
450609
3576
jedna stvar koju vidim kao najveći problem
07:46
it's not in building a world
173
454185
3039
nije sagraditi svijet
07:49
where we eliminate the ignorance of others.
174
457224
3749
eliminirajući neznanje drugih.
07:52
It's in building a world where we teach the acceptance of ourselves,
175
460973
3286
Nego sagraditi svijet u kojem učimo
kako prihvatiti sebe,
kako prihvatiti sebe,
u kojem smo ok s onim što jesmo,
07:56
where we're okay with who we are,
176
464259
1201
07:57
because when we get honest,
177
465460
1500
zato što kada smo iskreni,
07:58
we see that we all struggle and we all suffer.
178
466960
2796
shvatimo da svi mi se borimo i mučimo.
Bez obzira dali je to zbog toga, ili zbog
nečeg drugog,
nečeg drugog,
08:01
Whether it's with this, whether it's with something else,
179
469756
1952
08:03
we all know what it is to hurt.
180
471708
2827
svi znamo što je povrijeđenost.
08:06
We all know what it is to have pain in our heart,
181
474535
1838
Svi znamo kako je osjećati bol u srcu,
08:08
and we all know how important it is to heal.
182
476373
2694
i koliko je važno da rane zacijele.
Ali trenutačno sada, depresija je
duboka rana društva
duboka rana društva
08:11
But right now, depression is society's deep cut
183
479067
3394
na koju spremno stavljamo flaster i
pretvarmo se da nije tu.
pretvarmo se da nije tu.
08:14
that we're content to put a Band-Aid over and pretend it's not there.
184
482461
2561
08:17
Well, it is there. It is there, and you know what? It's okay.
185
485022
4504
Ovdje je. Ovdje je i znato što? U redu je.
08:21
Depression is okay. If you're going through it, know that you're okay.
186
489526
3811
Depresija je u redu. Ako prolazite
kroz nju, znajte da ste u redu.
kroz nju, znajte da ste u redu.
08:25
And know that you're sick, you're not weak,
187
493337
2662
Znajte da ste bolesni, niste slabić,
08:27
and it's an issue, not an identity,
188
495999
1936
i da je to problem, a ne vaš identitet,
08:29
because when you get past the fear and the ridicule
189
497935
2753
jer kada nadiđete strah i ismijavanje,
08:32
and the judgment and the stigma of others,
190
500688
1797
osuđivanje i stigmu od strane drugih,
08:34
you can see depression for what it really is,
191
502485
2986
možete vidjeti depresiju kao ono
što zaista jest,
što zaista jest,
08:37
and that's just a part of life,
192
505471
2239
kao dio života,
08:39
just a part of life, and as much as I hate,
193
507710
3728
samo dio života, i koliko god mrzim,
08:43
as much as I hate some of the places,
194
511438
2479
koliko god mrzim neka mjesta
08:45
some of the parts of my life depression has dragged me down to,
195
513917
3096
u koja me uvukla depresija,
08:49
in a lot of ways I'm grateful for it.
196
517013
2535
u mnogočemu sam joj zahvalan.
08:51
Because yeah, it's put me in the valleys,
197
519548
1812
Zato što me je stavila u nizine,
kako bi mi pokazala da postoje
vrhunci,
vrhunci,
08:53
but only to show me there's peaks,
198
521360
1432
08:54
and yeah it's dragged me through the dark
199
522792
1599
i da, uvukla me u tamu
08:56
but only to remind me there is light.
200
524391
2586
kako bi me podsjetila da postoji svijetlo.
08:58
My pain, more than anything in 19 years on this planet,
201
526977
3743
Moja patnja, više nego išta u 19 godina
na ovom planetu,
na ovom planetu,
09:02
has given me perspective, and my hurt,
202
530720
2259
dala mi je drugčiju perspektivu,
a moja bol me natjerala da imam nadu,
09:04
my hurt has forced me to have hope,
203
532979
2495
09:07
have hope and to have faith, faith in myself,
204
535474
2531
da imam nadu i vjeru, vjeru u sebe,
09:10
faith in others, faith that it can get better,
205
538005
2545
vjeru u druge, vjeru da će biti bolje,
da možemo ovo promjeniti, da možemo
progovoriti
progovoriti
09:12
that we can change this, that we can speak up
206
540550
2078
09:14
and speak out and fight back against ignorance,
207
542628
2758
i pričati o tome i boriti se protiv
neznanja,
neznanja,
09:17
fight back against intolerance,
208
545386
2589
boriti se protiv netolerancije,
09:19
and more than anything,
209
547975
2015
i više nego išta,
09:21
learn to love ourselves,
210
549990
2726
naučiti kako voljeti sebe,
09:24
learn to accept ourselves for who we are,
211
552716
2179
naučiti prihvaćati sebe kakvima jesmo,
09:26
the people we are, not the people the world wants us to be.
212
554895
4095
ljudi kakvi jesmo, a ne onakvi kakve
svijet želi da budemo.
svijet želi da budemo.
09:30
Because the world I believe in is one
213
558990
1612
Svijet u koji ja vjerujem je onaj
09:32
where embracing your light doesn't mean ignoring your dark.
214
560602
4168
u kojem prihvaćanjem svog svijetla
ne znači ignorirati svoju tamu.
ne znači ignorirati svoju tamu.
09:36
The world I believe in is one where we're measured
215
564770
2081
Svijet u koji ja vjerujem je onaj
u kojem se cijeni
u kojem se cijeni
09:38
by our ability to overcome adversities, not avoid them.
216
566851
4516
sposobnost da predvladamo suprotnosti,
a ne da ih izbjegavamo.
a ne da ih izbjegavamo.
09:43
The world I believe in is one where I can look someone in the eye
217
571367
4224
Svijet u koji ja vjerujem je onaj
u kojem mogu pogledati nekoga u oči
u kojem mogu pogledati nekoga u oči
09:47
and say, "I'm going through hell,"
218
575591
1762
i reći: "Prolazim kroz pakao",
09:49
and they can look back at me and go, "Me too," and that's okay,
219
577353
3577
a oni me mogu pogledati i reći:
"I ja isto" i to je u redu,
"I ja isto" i to je u redu,
09:52
and it's okay because depression is okay. We're people.
220
580930
3702
u redu je zato što je depresija u redu.
Ljudi smo.
Ljudi smo.
09:56
We're people, and we struggle and we suffer
221
584632
2430
Ljudi smo, borimo se, patimo,
09:59
and we bleed and we cry, and if you think that true strength
222
587062
2728
krvarimo, plačemo, i ako mislite da
prava snaga
prava snaga
10:01
means never showing any weakness, then I'm here
223
589790
2119
znači nikada ne pokazati slabost,
onda sam ja tu
onda sam ja tu
10:03
to tell you you're wrong.
224
591909
3246
da vam kažem da ste u krivu.
10:07
You're wrong, because it's the opposite.
225
595155
3897
U krivu ste jer je baš suprotno.
10:11
We're people, and we have problems.
226
599052
2684
Mi smo ljudi i imamo probleme.
10:13
We're not perfect, and that's okay.
227
601736
1671
Nismo savršeni i to je ok.
10:15
So we need to stop the ignorance,
228
603407
2214
Trebamo zaustaviti neznanje.
10:17
stop the intolerance, stop the stigma,
229
605621
3078
zaustaviti netoleranciju,
zaustaviti stigmu,
zaustaviti stigmu,
10:20
and stop the silence, and we need to take away the taboos,
230
608699
4574
spriječiti tišinu i riješiti se tabua,
10:25
take a look at the truth, and start talking,
231
613273
4539
pogledati istinu i početi pričati,
10:29
because the only way we're going to beat a problem
232
617812
4724
zato što jedini način
kako ćemo riješiti problem
kako ćemo riješiti problem
10:34
that people are battling alone
233
622536
3334
s kojim se ljudi sami bore
10:37
is by standing strong together,
234
625870
3763
jest da budemo snažni zajedno,
10:41
by standing strong together.
235
629633
3764
snažni zajedno.
10:45
And I believe that we can.
236
633397
2979
I ja vjerujem da mi to možemo.
10:48
I believe that we can. Thank you guys so much.
237
636376
1919
Vjerujem da mi to možemo. Hvala vam svima.
10:50
This is a dream come true. Thank you. (Applause)
238
638295
2407
Ovo je ostvaranje mojih snova. Hvala.
(Pljesak)
(Pljesak)
10:52
Thank you. (Applause)
239
640702
2258
Hvala. (Pljesak)
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Kevin Breel - Comedian, activistWriter, comic and mental health activist Kevin Breel speaks up about depression.
Why you should listen
As a teenager, Kevin Breel almost took his own life. His story, so powerfully told in his viral TEDxYouth Talk, gives voice to an often silent struggle and offers a message of hope.
As Jack Knox writes in the Times Colonist :
His story, abbreviated, is this: He grew up in Cadboro Bay, a popular kid, fun at parties, English and drama awards, always on the honour roll, captain of the Lambrick Park basketball team when it was ranked No. 1 in the province. Under it all was the other him, the kid who plunged into depression at age 13 when his best friend died in a car crash.
Breel now speaks out about his own depression, with a mission of helping kids his age realize they're not alone.
