Hollywood actress Sarah Silverman has just opened up about a sad moment she had and how she managed to pull herself out of it by using the same thoughts and mantras that got her depressed in the first place.
Silverman hosts a popular podcast called “The Sarah Silverman Podcast,” where she talks about different things and issues from her personal life to the film industry and, in general, things that individuals go through on a regular basis.
In this particular episode, Silverman opens up about the intrusive thoughts that plague her because of her mantra “Nothing Matters,” a statement that also helped her stop feeling depressed.

Silverman is likely having a moment of self-introspection, where he has to consider his goals and achievements in life and wonder what they all mean in the end and if there is value in trying so hard to exist, a feeling that many people experience every day.
The actor stated that the depressing thought played like a spell in his head, “It was like a spell in my head. Nothing matters to a king. It’s all an illusion of deception, nothing matters.”

Sarah Silverman Says It’s Hard to Overcome Depression ‘Intellectually’

The “Wreck-It Ralph” actor went on to talk about how dealing with such depressive thoughts “intellectually” is not an easy way to break free from depression.
He said, “And I can intellectually go, well, I’m in a bad place, and I’m in a dark place. And I know that I [can] out of it, you know. But sometimes Intellectually no [enough]. You can make excuses and reasons, and it’s hard to say, ‘Right, okay.”
The star went on to add that there are times when she can easily alleviate bad feelings by labeling them for very specific reasons, such as her PMS (premenstrual syndrome), but that these particular feelings or thoughts “don’t matter,” she still doesn’t have a “bead on.”

“I mean, there will be times with PMS where I’ll go bananas and then be like, ‘oh my god, this is my PMS week. And knowing that will help me a lot. Like I already feel better by going like, ‘Okay, I won’t go crazy…It’s hormones, but I don’t know this yet.”

Finally ‘No Matter, Have Fun’

Silverman shared that she allowed herself to wallow in sad feelings while also struggling to get through the day in preparation for her show. “I let myself wallow and be negative, and then I have a show to do, and I just go through the motions. I take a shower; I put on my tinted moisturizer, listen to old sets on my phone to prepare. And just do things proactively. …passively.”
According to the “A Million Ways To Die In The West” actor, when he finally got into his car to go to his Saturday night show, he suddenly felt better, thinking to himself, “Have fun, it doesn’t matter.”
He said, “and I was like, ‘oh!’ isn’t that interesting? that i sink into depression because i feel like ‘nothing matters.’ And it ended up being the same thing that snapped me out of it. Really, nothing important, just having fun.”
The same mantra that brought Silverman down is what helped him feel better and confident enough to perform. Therefore, thinking that “nothing” can make one spin into a sea of depression and can also help one release their feelings and allow them to enjoy the moment, a double-edged sword in the form of a spell.
