I get depressed and cry all the time I feel alone left out like I don't matter my mom takes advantage of me and everybody else to I can't get hired anywhere I can't drive I stay in the house all day no friends no nothing and other stuff too
I feel depressed from time to time and cry alot. I don't see my moms side of the family and barely see my dads side. My twin brother taunts me and i feel Alone in the world at times, I try to talk about my problems, but it appears to be too much for people and they begin to stop listening. :(
I wish I was never born 70% of the time because I always screw things up. Sadly people will just tell me to grow up and they are the ones that havent been there before since life was good to them.
I'm the same with what someone said though. I want to not live anymore....but I dont want to die either =/
Thank you so much Kevin for posting this video. I have thinking and dreaming about commiting suicide for quite some time now and your video really stopped me from attempting to commit suicide again. God bless you.
Yes, NancyLee53. I'm, currently, in treatment and on meds. I do believe if I wasn't i wouldn't be here right now. What ppl who suffer from mental illnesses need is compassion and understanding. Not preaching and judgement.
I am perfectly mentally stable. I stand with my two feet firmly on the ground, and I know what is really going on around me. Only the circumstances and the people around me make me feel like going away. I am not treated as a human being. They lie to me, talk about me behind the back, and basically think of me as stupid and/or immoral. What happens when you're not 'mentally ill', but rather when your reality is cruel enough to make you do it?
Over 20 old , never kissed a girl , girls always laughing at me '' haha ur a virgin'' , friends made me watch how a girl gave them a blow then after that they left and the girl told me not in a million years.Fat people with acne all over and they treat those girls like crap calling them b1tch and wh0re and all kinds of stuff.Since i was born i was always 1 step behind against every1.But now im getting way out of league with my age.Dont want to live tho dont want to die either.
Depression is SO REAL, and a gateway to the end all be all that is suicide! I beg ANYONE who is depressed to please get help, it is not a joke. If you know anyone who exhibits the signs that Kevin is describing, PLEASE reach out to them. Don't be like me and try to brush it off! Please do not attempt to take your life. There is nothing wong with seeking help with regard to mental illness.
34 years old I am Major depression,Bi Polar,Ocd,Bdd,Anxiety sucide on my mind for so many years.Can't stand the pain anymore have gotten so much help in my life,but nothing helps I just want to die full stop hopefully it's asap.
do u knw what ur saying...u r also sayin that he is gay nw...nd y r u followin me evry where just beacause i posted a comment..thats beacuse ur gay..dumbass.go get swine flu and die
it is a relationship between satan and homosexuality and murder rape, basically anything bad and unethical, and its not an opinion, its a FACT!!! read a bible
what is to tell you that many people who are devout christians/believers have never committed suicide? Many people who commit suicide wil have a psychiatric/mental disorder in which they cannot help the way they feel, its not a choice - no chooses to have cancer, no chooses to have depression/bipolar or any other condition.
Its not fair to assume that people have diminished faith because they're ill - many pray constantly for their relief. This society chooses to be blind to mental illness
Thank you, Indigocake. I suffer from Bipolar Disorder and it's truly disturbing some of the ignorant comments i'm reading. What does religion have 2 do with mental illnesses/disorders. if believing in God was all it took 2 cure someone of mental illnesses there wouldn't be a need 4 therapists and meds. Sorry it's not that simple. Unless u suffer from it ppl will never understand the pain we're in. And 4 some suicide they feel is the only solution. I know I thought so and sometimes still do.
rawsdawg & prinon95 if you have no idea waht depression isz..or yu've nvr dealt with it..dehn stfu and keep it movin! cusz depression can hit anybody..at any qive time..dependin on waht dere dealinq with...so if yu dont have anythinq contructive to say..dehn wtf yu commentin 4?...shit.....and waht kinda advice is smoke weed and have sex??..oh wrdd weed..deadass??..come on dass some str8 up bullish..not every1 isz into smokin like yu are.......smh...ignorant ppl dese daysz.
rawsdawg, if only it was that simple, but, unfortunately, it's not. Having mental illnesses/disorders is not a joke. And should never be taken lightly or in a joking manner. If u knew the pain ppl are in who suffer due to it u wouldn't make such comments. I'm not knocking u, however, this subject is serious to alot of ppl, such as myself, who suffer with a mental disorder. I didn't choose 2 have this.
I can totally relate. When I was 12 I was suicidal and I ended up going to a hospital for 6 months. I used to cut myself and all of that. I had low self esteem and I felt like I didn't belong here. Janet's music and her strength helped get me through and God had mercy on me. I am now 15 and the last time I cut myself was last year because my mom told me that I couldn't see Janet at the album signing which she ended up taking me to.Some people don't understand how much they devalue me.
2 tha 2 people below me...don't do it!!!! This choice not only effects you but everyone around you..if life gets that bad and 2 the point where u need 2 kill yourself reach out 2 someone...and if you need someone 2 talk 2 hey i'm here. i know you don't know me but hey if you ever need an ear!!!!
I've been contempating to commit suicide. I've seen personally how beautiful death is from commiting it. I'm tired of what I am and I'm just waiting for the right time. I guess nobody in this world should stop someone who wants to do it because nobody owns someone else. Let us decide!
i'm begging you to reconsider and seek some appropiate help for your feelings. You're never to know how much better you could be if you should commit suicide. Nothing is impossible, don't feel that the way you're feeling is indefinitely permanent because your thoughts are telling you so(even if it is a mental illness) that's not true. Take the step to seek comfort/help/inspiration and I pray that you, and everyone else who is feeling the same and seeing this message will feel better. x x x x
this video is very good. i often find myself depressed cause i feel like people dont like me, and it had always been hard for me to make friends. another reason i get depressed is because i feel lonely, i am the only gay person in my family, i cant talk about my feelings and wanting to have somebody, cause it is not acceptable in my family. and the guys have been with just used me for sex. people with gay kids need to watch a movie called prayers for bobby, i think it might help. thanx t
wow very well said and very informativ 2009 is a new year. My prayers go out to those who are in the mist of things right now. A clear day is coming you just got to be patient and let it in.
I was thinking maybe instead of killin myself near my house so my family wont see my body and wont shock them into tramatic state that all thats left to worry about b4 i do it dont want them to be forced to see a dead body so maybe if i walk out into the woods and hangmyself on a tree ... so the wolves will eat my corpse or a farmer or someone finds my body instead of my families , i dont think ill write a note because thats like a timeless note of sadness which i dont want to be seen forever as
When I feel down sometimes, I often wonder if I can handle it on my own. And that's what I'd rather do cause after reading about medications that can help, I learned that sometimes the medicine that is prescribed makes you more suicidal than ever. So, even though I don't think about hurting myself now, I do feel depressed many times and i'm 99% sure I'm bipolar and ppl ask me all the time am I. So what should I do?
Seek professional help, and call the hotline Kevin recommended with these questions. You'll find answers to your questions all you have to do is be willing to hear what it is you need to so that you can help you life. Never give up!!
i dont abuse alcohol but i do use marijuana/cannabis frequently to vent my depression and stress i get judged for this allot i hope you wont judge me man
man what about people born with Major DepressioN? how can u get through it i belive in jesus and the lord but they put us here to do our own battles they dont fight em for us ive attempted this over 6 times and all times have failed and the treatment they give u is Zoloft,prozac etc ZOLOFT CAUSE'S SEIZURES! if used in high ammounts (75mg or more a day)
I'm currently on Lexapro for my Bipolar. I was on Seroquel and a few others. The thing is pysch drugs can be dangerous. However, the benefits outweigh the risks.
I wish I had a camera. I have something to say that would be really beneficial to this. I have been through suicidal thoughts and have attemptes suicide before and nobody knew at all how much I was hurting.
im seeking treatment and the medication they put you DONT WORK FOR ME -- dr's say stuff like "well it takes time to work ususally 6 to 8 weeks -- so im forced to seek faster method of instant relief--- alcohol or drugs-- weed or mdma-- but that causes even MORE PROBLEMS INCLUDING LEGAL TROUBLE-- and nobody really GIVES A DAMM-- THE help your telling people to get only help you cuz its a JOB NOT CUZ they really care--- sorry to say
Very good brother. Thanks for putting this out there. Especially in the black community, having mental illness is so stigmatized. There is nothing wrong in seeking help if you are depressed, have anxiety disorders, racing thoughts, mood swings, etc, etc, etc. If you don't feel 100%, please seek help or someone you can talk with.
I have anxiety disorders and depression -- its a terrible thing -- and suicide enter my mind but would never do it --- but i just think of the pain it would cuz my family at times i think to my self if there was a painless way to go may be
I agree, brother. Mental illness is taboo in the black community. It's sad that we don't talk about it because so many of us suffer from it. We think if we go to the doctor we'll be perceived as crazy. I have Bipolar Disorder and when I see an opportunity to educate ppl about it I do. It needs 2 be talked about. If not ppl will continue 2 suffer in silence.
that was a very responsible video and poignant. I deal with a very depressed person every day and sometimes it can be as frustrating for the ones around as it is the actual person. your heartfelt concern is refreshing. I'll keep listening/watching everyday. Luv ya sweetie.
Yes, thatchl. Mental illness not only effect those who have it but also those who love and care for the person. It's not an easy road to travel for those who have it as well as their loved one's.
Great vid by the way im super happy you did a vid about something that actually happens in the world instead of just ignoring it! ya know its a GOOD LOOK[: Nice job
yes kevin u are own ur way to becoming a good citizen and college student. Researching and actually engaging an audience and even having a blog can get u scholarships and being noted by a college. I really do hope u get into the field of communications. great work!!!!!
suicide have affected my life closely. a friend that i consider family took his life and its still mind boggling that I will never see him again. no matter what was goiong on he was always laughing and joking. if i was sad he brung a smile to my face. he never showed no signs of wanting to kill himself either. this year alone i attended 6 funerals and 3 was of suicide. 2008 was a crazy year for me. But as Monica said "Im still standing"
People considering need to find hope for hopelessness. It gets better. We have to think of all we've gotten through so far that we didn't know we'd make it through
Unfortunately, that's easier said and done. Because of chemical imbalances we don't see things as getting better. That's what ppl don't understand. Our view of things is different from someone who doesn't suffer from mental illness.
Its very sad, people who take their lives usually see it as the only way to cure the pain inside that nothing else is fixing :( Its really comforting to have someone there who loves you telling you how special you truly are and giving you hope :) A lot of people don't know their loved because they don't hear it enough from those who matter to them. its all about support :)
Yes, Careem. It is important to have a good support system. My heart goes out to those who don't. Whose family and friends shun them. It's bad enough to feel emotionally abandoned but to be physically abandoned as well can be to much to bear.
i want to personally thank you so much Kevin for doing this video. About three years ago my uncle killed himself. He was gay but his family... the side he married, did not agree. he tried to please them by marrying a female, but he could not deal with it. When your family turns against you there's nowhere to go. Thank you again Kevin.
Thankyou so much for this video; You're 100%right that God can help us through anything, and you've really confirmed that fact for me. Thanks a lot, and God bless.
Unfortunately, my faith in God didn't keep me from developing Bipolar Disorder. That was already carved in stone when I was born into a family where it's hereditary.
I went through a hard time as well. I never thought about suicide but I did hurt myself a couple of times. Its not a good feeling at all. I hope I never go back to that "dark" place again.
I was so confused and then I realized when he kept telling me how worthless he felt. I felt so bad with myself because I felt I was not there for him. I called his mum and she told he hung himself in his room. I wanted someone to pinch me because I thought it was a dream..
OMG. Everything you said relates to what happened to my friend over here in Canada. I lost my good friend to suicide in August 2008. I didn't even know that he died. I went on facebook to invite him to the movies because he was acting very strange and then I looked on his wall. I saw people writing--"rest in peace. We are going to miss you. I am so sorry".
Im glad you talked about this subject b/c it needs to be touch and heard.I hate that people feel they have to take their lives inorder to be at peace instead of just reaching out and getting help.
i my self has suffered thru depression and wanted to end my life due to many of situations i had no control over which became a black cloud over everything and i was at the time unable to get thru luckily i had friends and family around to coach me thru it all! skorpion i thanx you for taking on this subject in your vid cause im sure it will help
I used to be severely depressed, and suicidal. and I tried to kill myself like 2 times. I wasnt successful, and Im glad because I am now very happy and peaceful, and really want to help others.
i had major depression but i got help for it. what help me and still helps me is keeping god in my life and knowing that it always someone that has is worser than you. I used to redraw myself from my friends and family and i stop doing the things i enjoyed doing like going to church and signing in the choir. I started to notice how i started to cry for no reason and very emotional and was having thoughts of suicided alot so i told my mom about it and i made appointment to see a Dr. and got help
However, you really touched me with your caring ;o

you want to help yourself here are some simple tips.
1. STOP taking yourself and others so seriously
2. NEVER lose your sense of humor (it can save you)
3. Get fresh air
4. See as many sights either locally or abroad as you can.
5. Find the beauty in the world it is all around you and always has been
6. Smoke a joint (or bowl whatever suits you)

I'm currently on Lexapro for my Bipolar. I was on Seroquel and a few others. The thing is pysch drugs can be dangerous. However, the benefits outweigh the risks.

I wish I had a camera. I have something to say that would be really beneficial to this. I have been through suicidal thoughts and have attemptes suicide before and nobody knew at all how much I was hurting.

im seeking treatment and the medication they put you DONT WORK FOR ME -- dr's say stuff like "well it takes time to work ususally 6 to 8 weeks -- so im forced to seek faster method of instant relief--- alcohol or drugs-- weed or mdma-- but that causes even MORE PROBLEMS INCLUDING LEGAL TROUBLE-- and nobody really GIVES A DAMM-- THE help your telling people to get only help you cuz its a JOB NOT CUZ they really care--- sorry to say

Very good brother. Thanks for putting this out there. Especially in the black community, having mental illness is so stigmatized. There is nothing wrong in seeking help if you are depressed, have anxiety disorders, racing thoughts, mood swings, etc, etc, etc. If you don't feel 100%, please seek help or someone you can talk with.

I have anxiety disorders and depression -- its a terrible thing -- and suicide enter my mind but would never do it --- but i just think of the pain it would cuz my family at times i think to my self if there was a painless way to go may be
Theworldisyourz09 3 years ago 2
Before starting meds, I, too, thought if only I could find a painless way to end it.
NoLyeNappy4Life 2 years ago
I agree, brother. Mental illness is taboo in the black community. It's sad that we don't talk about it because so many of us suffer from it. We think if we go to the doctor we'll be perceived as crazy. I have Bipolar Disorder and when I see an opportunity to educate ppl about it I do. It needs 2 be talked about. If not ppl will continue 2 suffer in silence.

that was a very responsible video and poignant. I deal with a very depressed person every day and sometimes it can be as frustrating for the ones around as it is the actual person. your heartfelt concern is refreshing. I'll keep listening/watching everyday. Luv ya sweetie.

Yes, thatchl. Mental illness not only effect those who have it but also those who love and care for the person. It's not an easy road to travel for those who have it as well as their loved one's.

suicide have affected my life closely. a friend that i consider family took his life and its still mind boggling that I will never see him again. no matter what was goiong on he was always laughing and joking. if i was sad he brung a smile to my face. he never showed no signs of wanting to kill himself either. this year alone i attended 6 funerals and 3 was of suicide. 2008 was a crazy year for me. But as Monica said "Im still standing"

it's a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
People considering need to find hope for hopelessness. It gets better. We have to think of all we've gotten through so far that we didn't know we'd make it through
20YearSoul 3 years ago 3
Unfortunately, that's easier said and done. Because of chemical imbalances we don't see things as getting better. That's what ppl don't understand. Our view of things is different from someone who doesn't suffer from mental illness.

Its very sad, people who take their lives usually see it as the only way to cure the pain inside that nothing else is fixing :( Its really comforting to have someone there who loves you telling you how special you truly are and giving you hope :) A lot of people don't know their loved because they don't hear it enough from those who matter to them. its all about support :)
CareemBrownMusic 3 years ago
Yes, Careem. It is important to have a good support system. My heart goes out to those who don't. Whose family and friends shun them. It's bad enough to feel emotionally abandoned but to be physically abandoned as well can be to much to bear.

i want to personally thank you so much Kevin for doing this video. About three years ago my uncle killed himself. He was gay but his family... the side he married, did not agree. he tried to please them by marrying a female, but he could not deal with it. When your family turns against you there's nowhere to go. Thank you again Kevin.

I was so confused and then I realized when he kept telling me how worthless he felt. I felt so bad with myself because I felt I was not there for him. I called his mum and she told he hung himself in his room. I wanted someone to pinch me because I thought it was a dream..

OMG. Everything you said relates to what happened to my friend over here in Canada. I lost my good friend to suicide in August 2008. I didn't even know that he died. I went on facebook to invite him to the movies because he was acting very strange and then I looked on his wall. I saw people writing--"rest in peace. We are going to miss you. I am so sorry".

When someone committs suicide, they leave a stench on their friends & family.
I had a friend that committed suicide almost 2 years ago & ppl are still asking, wondering what was so bad for him to take his life.
This January 30th, marks the 2 years he's been dead.
DINKMo1990 3 years ago
i had major depression but i got help for it. what help me and still helps me is keeping god in my life and knowing that it always someone that has is worser than you. I used to redraw myself from my friends and family and i stop doing the things i enjoyed doing like going to church and signing in the choir. I started to notice how i started to cry for no reason and very emotional and was having thoughts of suicided alot so i told my mom about it and i made appointment to see a Dr. and got help
