Epicsode 37: Depression & Suicidal Thoughts?!

[SuperSteve817]

I think you think about suicide, for some there whole lives, and then its just a matter of waiting till they just cant take the pain anymore and they are finally brave enough to end it.

[Mussman24]

I like what u said. I struggle daily because of a past decision I made in my life, but thanks for your advices.

[freerunner625]

All of you people need to look on the bright side of things even when there is no bright side

Create a bright side

Don't rely on other people because you are the most interesting person you know

So don't be depressed when there are things to do in this world

[pitifulperson]

ive followed through before

[Wildfox01]

@StreetSoldier80 Women come and go, it's part of life! Sometimes, we have to learn how to let go and move on! Remember if you end your life; how would your love ones feel! I ask myself the same question every day!

[linda4285]

[THEDAWGuFUCKTARD]

@linda4285 me2

[keefebaby]

i feel sad

[DeLeeTiff]

None of these videos are helping me :(

[TheMostDefinately]

Meh, i think alot of people who search "suicidal thoughts" are thinking of end their lives. I really think this video wasn't tailored for that though. Try to consider who will watxh these vids next time. Just some construxtive criticism btw my spell check for phone sucks lol

[Ariesflamez]

Great words, thank you.

[Aaronsinventions]

make a new video

[urlifeisvile]

Thinking positive doesn't change anything... life is full of loneliness... it doesn't change...*sigh* its all loneliness ...

[MegaPagez]

right* its all in the mind,

[writ121]

Your an idiot...

[cd10501681]

a bullet to the brain is the best medicine goodbye everyone i came to youtube to see if i could help myself but no luck i hope my mom dosent cry to much bye..

[WavyNavy3]

@cd10501681 if he replies to this, hes obviously alive...

[CrystalCee1]

well situations are different for each person. you don't have to have a bad life to feel suicidal, perfectionists are one of the highest people to suffer from depression and eating disorers and anxiety problems, people just think there life is perfect, but it may not be, because if they get straight a's and then fail they will feel very down, or maybe not get to a goal it will get them down. which drives them to the edge when life slightly becomes worse + worse its feels horrible for them.xx

[1313bkg]

I'm doing it...very soon.

[atwgirl13]

@1313bkg please don't.

[sarabower1]

@1313bkg feel the same way

[MrDneter]

heh. but hate is stronger than happiness, well at least i always thought that way, it has pulled me through some difficult situations and now it threatens to consume me. one can even say that hate is all i have left lol, when it goes so will i

[318ray]

i attempted suicide 421-2011 i threw myself in front of a car on the freeway this is the second time i tried i got a broken leg out of this my problem is with religion jesus , satan, and my angry i cant really explain threw this comment but its deep i feel like if im going to explode dont know when,were, are on who but, i started writing when i get in those emotion's and that's been calming down my problems just a little great video

[MohammedAtta67]

@318ray The reason why I have suicidal thoughts it is because I am single and can't find a girlfriend and plus I am having some family issues. Me and my mom are starting to fight alot and these things never used to happen. I can't find a job and I can't succeed in college. I feel like I am nobody and I am dumb and stupid. People say that I am ugly and I am not attractive. This world will be a better place without me.

[318ray]

@MohammedAtta67 sorry to get back to you so late hope its not too late taking your life over a relationship is not worth it at all you will be better off without a relationship dont search for a girl let the girl come to you focus on you fix you up and watch the girls run to you just watch people saying you ugly dont take that shit to heart we all ugly in some way we all have faults college the hard part is staying focus thats the hard part jobs is the hardest thing to find right now

[318ray]

@MohammedAtta67 just find your talent or find something your good at and work on that to succeed rather music, art, or writting or whatever trust me trying to take your life is not worth it at all man i tried that shit and what if you dont die you just fuck your self up really bad and you have to live with that shit i broke my leg from that shit got metal inside my leg plus pain dont try too take your life at all if people fucking with you then surround yourself around other people

[318ray]

@MohammedAtta67 you noramlly wouldnt the family situation we all been threw that type of shit if you and your mom are fighting alot then maybe you and her need a little space from each other maybe 2 or 3 days apart each time you and her fight take some time apart maybe go to a friends house for a day or just leave and come back when both of you are unheated dont take that shit to heart AND DONT EVER fucking try to take your life dont want you to go threw wat i did on 4-20-2011

[MohammedAtta67]

@318ray Another reason why I think about suicide is because I have alot of deaths in my family. There are so many people who I knew well over the years that have been just passing away and it depresses me alot. We just lost one of our most talented band member ever who played the keyboard, one of my grand parents died, and my aunt just recently passed away from a heart attack and I can't sleep at night. Life is hard!!

[318ray]

@MohammedAtta67 do you have facebook or something else we can talk from

[MohammedAtta67]

@318ray I don't have a facebook but I appreciate your time bro.

[FortressCraftGoddess]

ummm most people do go through with it..it is very serious..its not about everone has more than me or less than me, sometimes people are just sick of being sheep to a system that you are taught to be a slave to, i dont want a 9 to 5 so i can consume your product..people get tired of living in a so called free world when its not. we are judged not by our actions but our status. money is worthless and people worship it. the question realy is why not die to be truly free. we are so limited here...

[MrMVG420]

good shit bro, i randomly came across this and i thought it was like a joke at first so i started to watch, but then i realized that you were serious haha. Its good ppl like you do this and care cause i know a lot of ppl could use this video.

[MikeAustralia1]

you have no idea

[screamolives]

It's not too serious? .. right.

[kreenaaa1]

you should be ashamed of yourself. you are not a doctor. you are giving people bullshit advice. anyone who is really depressed knows that you are a complete and utter douche. you have no idea what you're talking about.

[kreenaaa1]

WOW... youre an idiot.

[RB902050]

Although I am not suicidal, I do have fleeting thoughts about suicide on almost a daily bases and often several times throughout the day. For one I am much too afraid to follow through with it, and two, I figure a new day brings me closer to hope. It seems like I've only made a bunch of enemies in my past and have left a negative legacy on wher eever I go. I've made it a point that for my 37th birthday, I will treat it as a new life and start completely fresh if not sooner.

[Schecter718]

you say if you're feeling down and dont want to live, dont kill yourself get out there and do something with your life. im sorry that is the dumbest thing. depression makes most people not want to get up and do something. you feel like nothing is even worth it.

[kreenaaa1]

@Schecter718

Yeah this guy has no idea what hes talking about.

[kurtistjones]

all i can think of is wanting to kill your dog that fucking collar is irritating

[duanchamp1988]

thanks bro I needed that

[ilovetoread23]

@vasquez72 That's good - I don't want to feel anything bad anymore

[ilovetoread23]

It's so much pressure to realise that it's all up to yourself to get rid of the thoughts - positive thinking is so ridiculously hard. I have been negative and scared of life ever since at least since age 6 when I first saw my pyschiatrist. I am now 21 and after all those years of negative thoughts, I do not see any hope :(

[quimby27]

Thanks, its not just me out there...

[blobby1972]

when I feel like that I get on here and search people feeling the same way and it go's away but I worry about the day that it stops working .

[SuperLanham]

@greyeyes this help me alot thanks

[EIvIERiiiC412]

this video, made me wanna kill myself.

[trinihotgirlforever]

so true btw cute dog

[Standuble]

Thanks for this. I have suicidal thoughts and depression on a daily basis, I still live perhaps solely I am a coward. I feel insignificant, without purpose, shattered dreams and I can't stand the world around me. Work just makes me want to hang myself in the toilet cubicle.

I don't know if I can ever feel fulfilled in the bigger picture. Whether I still live or I choose to die, the world will roll on without me without ever batting an eyelid. Why struggle in my purposeless existence?

[ilovetoread23]

@Standuble That sounds sad :(. I can relate though, a lot. Contact me if you want to talk about it.

[Standuble]

@ilovetoread23 Thanks dude :)

[youkickedmydawg]

i respect this guy so much!

[Pr0ject2]

Really good advice and it does make alot of sense. I just cant get out of feeling like this no matter how hard i try though. I have nothing that im good at i have nothing like a hobby that i can do and ive been trying so hard to find one. The future just seems so empty.

[jp31313]

music is life and it is always there for you no matter what mood you are in and it serves as a good tool to relate your struggles to. the next time when your feeling down go find some music to take your mind off of things and to clear your head...it helps

[PeaceandLlove]

Good advice, bro. I couldn't agree with you more, I also want to mention to those who feel as though they're a disgrace to humanity/family/ themselves -- NO ONE IS PERFECT. Try to learn from your mistakes. Try to worry less about the past because if your living in the past or is concerned about matters over which you have no control, it will adversely impact the matters over which you do in fact have control. We live and we learn! Set a goal, try your best, and try to enjoy life!

[madeleinebrooks97]

this really made me rethink everything

[TheTechAdmin]

wish i had a friend like you. this cheered me up; thank you

[derekptmn]

hey i wanted to say this video really helped me. thanks alot man

[SweetwaterBoating]

I want you to know, you just saved my life. thank you

[delideliver]

if you are thinking about suicide,remember these 2 things,what if it fails?you could live in HORRIBLE pain till you are 102,and you CAN be arrested for it,as much as I dont agree with it,the law can prosecute you,I learned that when I was 20 and tried it.And after the dr in the ER told me that my mother said"you NEVER met these people in your life,an they are making decisions about you that you have NO say in,is this what you want? so if you are thinking about it,just remember what I wrote

[Ayatron34]

You haven't come across someone who was bad at everything? Oh I used to be naive like that, before I heard about Christian Weston Chandler.

[6676plentybody]

@Ayatron34 @Ayatron34@Ayatron34@Ayatron34

@Ayatron34@Ayatron34

@Ayatron34 loves the penis of Batman ( The Death of Batman ) deeply in a creepy way for five years.

@Ayatron34, This asshole, this BITCH is a homosexsual abnormal African BLACK gay.

[bryant49]

when im depressed i write it works even if what i write is jus a ucrap thats on my mind

[TheEpoxyExpert]

i have no energy...... id like to start pray for me i guess

[TheEpoxyExpert]

i have no energy...... id like to start

[lutdabs]

Thanks for this Video! Say, do you have facebook?

[arow333]

(continued from below) ...Though Epic meant well and gave some good insight on countering negativity with optimism, he obviously didn’t do much research on depression. Depression is characterized by unrelenting sadness that lasts for a period of more than 2 weeks. Depression is not just a lifestyle, as Epic might have thought, it is also a physical condition. People with depression have a chemical imbalance in their brain and they need medication together with clinical therapy.

[arow333]

Optimism is indeed important to battle depression, but it is dangerous to discredit the importance of medication. In fact, many people can't get over depression because they think that it is something that they should fix by themselves and that if they seek professional help that somehow means they are weak or inferior. To a person who actually does have depression, the things that were said in this video only strengthen that misconception. Though Epic meant well... (continued)

[yovanicesarherrera]

Everyone thinks about it every once in a while but we don't want to kill ourselves we just want relif 4rm our pain sum people can't handle reality but one day we will all be in the ground and if god does exist then we don't just rot in the ground like I think I think about death alot just knowing everyday passes u just get older and closer to it that's life

[ilovetoread23]

@yovanicesarherrera I can't wait til I'm in the ground. I hope I die in my sleep tonight.

[hamstrings52]

The person in the video speaks very intelligent I like how he thinks.

[kreenaaa1]

@hamstrings52

is this sarcasm?... because he is a complete and utter idiot.

[jtsmash13]

i just wanted to say thanks epic, I havent been having the best time at the moment and this video helped alot. and with the concentrating thing i just actually practice my tricking cause that forces you to concentrate on the trick

[mizzttzbellalife]

Amen:)

[kenzieSP0ng3B0B]

dear epic---------as much as i love ur vids. i have to say that ur wrong on ur advice for suicide and depression. u really have to have knowledge of psychiatry to understand. some people with bipolar and sciztophrenia and almost predestined to commit suicide because stuff can trigger depression and there is virtually no way for them to get better but to take medicine. yes people should think positive but people with psychiatric problems have no control

[ChrisHopkinsParkour]

@kenzieSP0ng3B0B i hate to admit it but he you have a valid argument i myself (as ashamed to admit it as i am) i am bipolar and i know how difficult it is to get through depression.

[jtsmash13]

@kenzieSP0ng3B0B he wasnt aiming this at people who have a mental disorder he is aiming it at people who are just depressed due to something in their life

[kenzieSP0ng3B0B]

@jtsmash13 yah i realize that---im just saying that people who frequently get depressed might have mental disorders---but yah i agree its important to get active and not worry about outward appearance---i think its just stupid that people get hung over their reputation that if they get publically humiliated over facebook/myspace they commit suicide

[jtsmash13]

@kenzieSP0ng3B0B yer i can understand people with a mental disorder would most likely need to take medicine or some other anti-depressant, and yes it is rather ridiculous how some people would get that hung up on there reputation and would instantly go into a "depression" if they ever have one bad thing said against them

[liveinthedream14]

but what happens if you are so depressed that you can't concentrate on anything and you can't help thinking about it? i tried studying but i couldn't concentrate...

[manuelcolonsoto]

damms dude that little intro shows how im actually becoming from time to time it really sucks when depression gets that deep mentally.

[Aztek4611]

very true big ups yo and also another way that helped me was just grabbing a pen and writing non stop and also music helped alot

[nixtermixter]

i subscribed within the first 2 minutes

[nixtermixter]

wow..... philosopher rite here man. ive had some ideas pretty similar to his and this guy makes a lot of sense. but he takes these ideas of mine to a whole new level, giving me great advice. his thoughts are so deep thats it gets a little hard to keep up with the talk. muchas gracias bro

[45000mz]

Easy said then done sometimes trying to cheer people up doesn't always work they may still continue to have thoughts again in time. 

[mrdee11091]

the dog dont seem too interesred loll but thanks ...

[Flathat12]

thank you so much this helped me so much 

[TheYewtreecottage]

Awesome video. Common sense, assisting and supportive. Thanks so much.

[maico90]

epic is the bruce lee of acrobatics...wisdom and skill....

STAY POSITIVE!!!!!

[navoeg]

i got a personal questing for you...

did you really past depression??

[navoeg]

I'm in a stage of my life that I'm giving some kind of direction to my life. and the best things i have done and make me feel better is to express it in some way and leerning new things ... like photoshop tutorials... art... reding alot more than i use to

and playing more video games than ever lol... but it helps...

that some tips i can give back

[bipolarZombie]

"Epic Wisdom". Wow, that name sounds quite arrogant especially from a 20 year old. Are you the wise man on the mountain who became young? It's hard for me to take you seriously...sorry...enjoy your fame

[Neonknight8]

Kyle you know you are quite wise for your age. I heard you talking about doing things you like the most, things that are your passion. But what happens when you cant do the things you like because of lack of facilities or just because you cant?

[Moyenah]

Wrong.

[icanonlybejm]

I appreciate your speaking on the issue. However, if you are not a licensed psychologist or psychiatrist, it would be wise to state that disclaimer somewhere in your video. What works for you- not using prescriptions- may not work for the next person. Bottom line- we want the same thing- for people to overcome suicidal thoughts. But how to overcome them- different strokes for different folks. I appreciate your message, though- it comes from a positive place. Peace.

[SilentBombr]

Nice tips Epic, I started feeling a lot better with myself when I started training hard months ago

[PoCacacha]

i don't know how you came up with the fact that suicide isn't serious because most people are too scared to follow through when according to WHO a person commits suicide every 40 seconds.

[KatieG55]

I agree with you 99%...but did you know that your brain chemistry changes with trama, and grief? Antidepressants can and DO really help. Some people just CAN NOT do for themselves, they are so depressed. And to tell them, just get up and do this or that, can make their depression worse, as they feel like a falure for not being able to DO things. Meds help to get the brain chemicals back on track. What ALSO needs to be done, is EVERYTHING you are saying in your video.  NICE JOB!!

[colsh1690]

i have thoughts all the time about killing somebody but i wouldnt do it although i know it would make me feel better and i dont mean like a complete stranger just sort of people who try to make my life difficult. am i crazy or are there millions of people like me?

[dougiewhite778]

thanks this video is good when you feel like this you just cant see anything posative then you iscolate yourself

[Don123q]

lol i like the dog in the backround

[cheyennebritbrat]

good vids, ill look more tomoro,,,,,,,also the person who deals with your death will feel guilt.....your not just destroying your life, your destroying others, and they carry that everyday,,,,im talkin from experience

[spazalot1556]

I have been in that dark place and have trid to kill myself but i think your words have helped me. the unfortunate thing is starting over gets old quick but your right its all about choice. btw your superr cute keep the hair cuz its awaome. k thnx

[kittephoto]

Thanks, this video helped

[OMGMrStich]

do u have to be strong to do free running because i'm looking forward to starting free running

[RaceFord777]

@OMGMrStich well start training. when you start and the better you get the stonger you will get. i started out extremely small and now my legs and torso are ripped including my arms too! start with the basics though. like cartwheels roundoffs front handsprings back handsprings etc. then move on to the flips...good luck...best wishes

Race...

[OMGMrStich]

do u have to be strong to do free running? because I want to start

[DarkSkies132]

is that tommy the green power ranger?

[Joeproductions]

I get extremely depressed most days. I don't use anti-depressants. I just draw whatever suicidal image pops into my head.

I have a whole folder full of them

[Sweet21me1]

can u look at the cam... u keep looking away

[xthcmusic]

[rowshambow]

lol, your dog is cool! i want it!

[LabRat6619]

Its either suicide or a soma holiday these days. Drugs + alcohol are used everywhere for adults to hide from reality. Tv / video games are another escape to fantasy.

Maybe we should gavanise together, be friends and rise above all the crap that is modern living?

[AwaitingSecondComing]

only the LORD is wise!Repent!

Revelation11:18-19 your wrath has come. The time has come for judging the dead, and for rewarding your servants the prophets and your saints and those who reverence your name, both small and great— and for destroying those who destroy the earth. Then God's temple in heaven was opened, and within his temple was seen the ark of his covenant. And there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake and a great hailstorm.

[DarkSkies132]

@AwaitingSecondComing english pleas and what does that have to do with the vid?

[6124279]

nicely put , bro .

[zsianz1]

great advice!!!! very interesting video and some practical advice that is worth hearing, I think most people, no matter how positive, go through tough times mentally.This video will help lots of people. Might I add that I think it's worth forcing yourself to follow this advice if you are feeling down (or even if you're not really) because sometimes you don't feel like doing ANYTHING when you are low and that really doesn't help.

[hakreme]

true true whever im depressed well not whenever but when im stressed or depressed and im smart enought to do sumthing it always helps drawing working out hanging out with sum1 or just gettin up and going out side and doing sum flips and running that always makes me feel better no matter what yea. you and i think alike you are just good with your words lol. but i really liked this video cause it is one of the videos that will help alot of people very good video. like all your other ones lol.

[AnguzBeef]

I've heard this message before... Everything Is how you look at it... But after watching this I watched a MTV special on little people.(ya I know MTV...) and I realized it for myself and it finally hit me. I finally get it epic, thankyou so much

[Snakeelixir]

Good man, your mad wise lol... keep these vids up

[greyeyes100]

it helps me, when i'm upset or something, to write about it. sometimes, talking about it is good too, but if you write it down you cant be interrupted and you can get it all out. or drawing a picture, just to take your mind off things. but thats just what i like to do. or bag work :D

[EpicWisdom]

@greyeyes100 hahaha yeah i used to draw dragonball z pics alll the timez when iw as a kid, dudes screamin and bloody n beaten... things like that.

[bluepitbulllover]

@EpicWisdom wow yea i use to do that too and destroy my toys with hammer and stuff now i just use a goal to stop those though

[navoeg]

@greyeyes100

i do tha same thing.

every time i get anxius or depress i write it down... and draw something new.

[bfmyac]

your so wise, haha :)

[AlexPanacro]

awesome episode. definitely agree with you on staying product and self expression.

helps me

[flip110077]

good video and hope you had a nice christmas!!

[TXtrickster]

thanks epic

[St3ph89]

I am not depressed. But I like your point of view about this! I had a similar situation and I started training and it helps!

So nice video!

[xsafa]

Thanks epic, you really have helped me, I've been depressed for a long time until I saw your videos and it mad me want to get into Free running. Thank you.

[unicep12345]
