SITUATIONAL | Omeleto

Lad in the red shirt is a wonderful person... But he seems like he may have also experienced depression. He's way too optimistic and positive, while his roommate is having a meltdown. He seems to expect it, and know exactly what to do.

I hated his friend at first, but now I realise I need someone like him.

The opening has to be the best portrayal of the worst type of "therapy" I've ever seen.

'I don't know how to laugh, doctor semen.'

The guy in the red may be harsh, but he's a true god damn friend.

"kidnaps every single depressed person in the world"

as a person that overcame depression, went back at it, and it's starting to overcome it again, i really love this video. Thank you so much for portraying it in such a beautiful way.

His friend realized before anyone else, that his depression was more circumstancial that clinical. If we could dig deeper, his friend had some experience at some point in his life. We all have a friend like this, if we look close enough.

I like the subtlety of miles wearing a shirt with a first aid symbol

this acting is gold

I got goosebumps when the depressed guy threw his hoodie/old life.

I felt like the friend was representative of the internal struggle with depression. I suffer from serious depletion and anxiety and the two guys in this reminded me of my own internal conflict. One part has just given up and just wants to allow life to happen to me good or bad it doesn’t matter because nothing matters because my chronic physical illnesses mean I have no point, no future past bringing up my kids and maybe they would be better without a mother who can’t get herself together mentally and is becoming more and more physically frail and then there is the other part of me who can see what needs to happen to improve my situation, who can see the devastation my children would suffer should their mother give up on herself and them, the part of me that gets so frustrated with the part that isn’t capable of seemingly simple tasks. The two parts of me are at war like the friends through the first half of the film and the second part of the film is what finding a good medication, therapy service, support worker and asking for help and seeing that there are people who love me and want to help me any way they can does for you, it calms the war and finds a path of compromise between the sides of myself just like the last scene of the film. I have no idea if this was the film makers intent but it has resonated with me and I will keep it in mind on the path of recovery/management I’m on. Keep on keeping on all who share my path and support us on the path.

When a introvert meets an extrovert

Everyone needs a friend who can tape you and drive you to the beach at some point in your life.

"you need to commit to being happy like it's a full time job, okay?" -Miles to Charlie what a good and true friend

Don't ask for a Myles in your life, be the Myles in someone else's.

This guy got over depression in 1 day, it's been 7 years and I can't find my cure. I have no friends at all let alone a friend to save me.

If this were a movie it be a great comedy/drama

Miles is like cold water. Handling the depression another way than he is used to changed Charlie's point of view. He could slowly but surely see...like a sunset. Miles didn't abuse the situation at all, so Charlie could build up trust again and realise Miles' seriousness about his urge to support him. Wonderful shortfilm.❤
