1
I have to know how my brain works in order to catch it from doing bad things.
2
Because the brain is really tricky and it will tell you things that aren't true.
3
And so knowing that I would remember a negative experience more than I'd remember a positive,
4
I would really make it my mission to go,
5
okay, but the positive experiences with that person were equal.
6
I'm gonna choose to let that negative experience go.
7
What is your anxiety?
8
It's hard to put into words,
9
honestly, and it feels different at different times.
10
When my anxiety is high,
11
it feels like an absolute inability to make decisions.
12
Like, I would rather not do something than decide what to do.
13
And it's almost paralyzing, which is odd,
14
because it seems like it's simple.
15
Do you want to go on a walk or sit on the couch and watch TV?" And I'm like,
16
I can't figure that out.
17
I don't have the brain power.
18
It feels like decision fatigue.
19
And then depression is different.
20
My version of it feels very restricted,
21
like if you're trying to put on a latex glove that's way too small for your hand.
22
Also, it sort of coincides with this feeling of not being excited about anything,
23
which, again, on a day when you feel great or even normal,
24
you can get excited about things.
25
Like you're like, oh, I'm gonna have pizza today,
26
or I'm gonna see a friend today,
27
or any, all of the fun things about life.
28
And when I'm having depression,
29
it's like none of those things are exciting or seem worth it.
30
So there's this real disconnect because I know,
31
logically, that should be a feeling that induces some happiness,
32
but it's like my depression will not let me recognize those feelings.
33
At 40, I don't believe anything should be taboo anymore.
34
Like I talked to my kids about sex,
35
and yes, they're very young,
36
but they wanted to know how they got here
37
and we talked about it and they were grossed out
38
and left the room and that's fine but I think
39
that anything that's taboo
40
and hard to talk about should be some of the first
41
priorities you should be talking about with the support systems in your life.
42
I wish that I had known as a person in the public eye to talk about it publicly at an earlier date.
43
I had been
44
acting and you know doing publicity for a while
45
and I was at the stretch the last stretch of two movies of a press tour
46
and I'd done all these interviews
47
and I was lying in bed about to do Sam Jones
48
which is a long-form interview like it's like a 45 minute to an hour sit down
49
so you better be prepared to talk right
50
and I said to my husband God I have nothing to
51
talk about I feel exhausted like I've I've said every story about my life.
52
And he said, why don't you talk about your struggle with anxiety and depression?
53
And it was a huge light bulb.
54
I was like, have I never, I've never done that.
55
I was experiencing the same thing that everyone else was,
56
which is like, well, just don't talk about that.
57
And then I just felt so inauthentic and irresponsible to have been presenting this bubbly,
58
happy person, which is someone that I cultivate and I nurture and I try really hard to exist as.
59
And I just wasn't being honest with the people,
60
like the girls who may look up to me.
61
And so I was like,
62
okay, I'm just gonna talk about it.
63
And so I don't even think that Sam knew,
64
but during that interview I was like,
65
actually, you know, for a period of my life,
66
and periods, and often, and sometimes just on a random Wednesday,
67
I feel this way.
68
And then we started to get more in depth and I found myself really happy to be admitting all of it.
69
And the response I got from that interview was astounding to me.
70
So many people saying, I've felt that way too.
71
Thank you for saying it out loud.
72
You gave me the courage to say it out loud,
73
which I mean, I did practically nothing other than do what I should do,
74
which is be honest and authentic.
75
And it really, it was a huge turning point in my life.
76
I just felt a huge sense of responsibility.
77
And so I kept talking about it and I talk about it a lot.
78
And here we are.
79
And here we are.
80
I started noticing a feeling of being disconnected when I was probably 18 or 19.
81
I moved out of Detroit and to New York when I was,
82
I just turned 18.
83
I was like two weeks into being 18.
84
And I was so excited,
85
it was all I wanted to do.
86
I was going to NYU,
87
I was studying musical theater,
88
I was living in this beautiful melting pot cultural city and seeing Broadway shows each night.
89
And it was wonderful.
90
And I just felt like if I wrote my life down on paper,
91
I had so many opportunities,
92
so much privilege, so much access to happiness,
93
and yet my feelings were not that.
94
As an 18 year old living on her own in New York City,
95
I should be like, yes.
96
Like it should be so exciting, but it wasn't.
97
I felt like I was sort of followed by this weird dark cloud
98
that just didn't allow me to see all the happiness around me.
99
And I was lucky that I felt in my bones that that wasn't how I,
100
I hate to use the word should,
101
but should be feeling or how I could be feeling, I guess.
102
And I was lucky enough that my mom had sat me down and had a conversation with me and she said,
103
hey, just a quick heads up.
104
I experienced these feelings sometimes.
105
Your grandmother experienced these feelings sometimes.
106
She's a nurse.
107
And so she recognized that there could be a hereditary component to a serotonin imbalance.
108
And she said, if you start to feel any of these things,
109
just know there are a variety of ways
110
that you can reach out to people or try to fix it and you don't sort of have to live like that.
111
It's such a hard thing to talk about like I don't like
112
that there's any sort of stigma to it but I get it.
113
It's a weird thing to talk about because it's not an affliction that you can see.
114
It's like a hard thing to I guess diagnose and also acknowledge
115
and a lot of families or support systems or anyone in your life,
116
they don't know how to talk about it,
117
especially if they aren't themselves feeling it.
118
I think I had an upper hand
119
because my mom had explained it to me in a very medical way early on and I was like, oh, okay.
120
It sort of armed me with the information about what could happen and maybe it never will,
121
but if it did, there's access to help.
122
I knew that there were all of these ways like talking to a friend,
123
finding a therapist, talking to a psychiatrist or a psychologist,
124
and just knowing that changed everything for me.
125
Even if you're not experiencing any mental health issues,
126
I would hope that you would walk through life being open and ready to be a shoulder if someone needs you.
127
Because the reality is we're not all born the same.
128
Some of us are born with a ton of confidence and then some are born really timid.
129
And I just feel like,
130
maybe this is just my maternal instincts talking,
131
but I just don't want anyone to feel like they don't have a support system.
132
So if we collectively as a society,
133
like self-care, this whole idea,
134
should also include caring about each other.
135
You know, it has to obviously be on the person to identify the feeling and say I need help.
136
But then I think it has to be on the people around them that love them to say,
137
okay, let me see if I can support you,
138
you know, even if that's just checking in once in a while.

Dicas de Prática

Para utilizar esta lição como parte da sua prática de conversação em inglês, recomendamos a técnica de shadowing. Ouça o vídeo em um ritmo que te permita assimilar as emoções e as expressões de Kristen. Quando você ouvir uma frase, pause e repita em voz alta, tentando imitar o tom e a inflexão dela. Isso não apenas melhorará sua pronúncia em inglês, mas também ajudará a internalizar a pronúncia natural e a cadência da linguagem. No entanto, preste atenção ao conteúdo emocional. Uma boa prática é voltar e assistir o vídeo novamente, focando inicialmente na compreensão e depois na repetição. O shadowspeak pode ser um recurso valioso para extrair o máximo deste exercício.

Como Kristen menciona sobre a "fadiga de decisão", você pode experimentar a mesma abordagem aqui: escolha um curto trecho e mantenha a repetição constante, até que você sinta que está dominando não apenas as palavras, mas o sentimento por trás delas. Essa prática elevada não só ajuda na fala, mas também na compreensão emocional em conversas reais. Ao utilizar o aprender inglês com youtube, você está se expondo a um contexto autêntico que é fundamental para desenvolver suas habilidades oral e auditiva.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
