Comedian Nagai Yuichirou took to Twitter to write about his battle with depression.

Nagai tweeted, “I wanted to be comfortable, so I wrote about me now. I want to go back to being excited about comedy. I want to continue being a comedian. I want to become a person who can cheer me up. That’s why I’m writing about who I am now. I’m depressed. I have been taking tranquilizers for over 10 years, but I have not had trouble with my work for over 10 years. For the past two years, I have been unable to sleep and have started taking sleeping pills”.

Nagai continued, “Right now I’m feeling a little tired and I don’t have many memories of my days, so I really want help. I never thought about giving up on comedy. It shook just a little bit/ I want to be able to play around with this depression. I want to feel better”.
