[BoringBoy8400]

i wish i could have helped my best friend more than i did.I miss him so much..R.I.P Jaime

[seabass743]

I agree with SasukeLoverErin. How can people just say "dont kill your self, you have so much to live for", that doesnt help. i know they want to help but it doesnt. I'm depressed and i dont want to live, if i kill myself i hurt a lot of people. So.... then, what am i suposed to do? Be depressed for ever? I guess so then, because i dont want to hurt any one. Im actually surprised at these comments too, people feel the same as I do, i wish we could all be happy.

[kazimann]

From my personal experience, shrinks are absoluety useless. They do nothing but ask the same question about 10 different ways and in the end they prescribe anti-depressants that usually cause all sorts of problems.

Realistically, the only way is to help yourself get through this.

[forevereternity84]

@kazimann I agree completely. I used to go to a therapist for around 8 months and really it didn't do much for me. I then switched therapists, but nothing. There's only so much a therapist can do.

I was on the verge of killing myself after attempting two times, and in the end I found my way out myself and with a little help from my friend. I still have suicidal tendencies but I'm trying to hold it back as much as possible for the sake of my mother.

[kazimann]

Well, over the past few weeks, I've cut back on the booze big time, started exercising more, and taken up playing darts. I feel much better about myelf as a result. I still do suffer from depression, but it's more manageable it seems.

Forget about anti-depressants. No need to pollute your body with more chemicals.

[TashaRichardsonFan]

I am constantly thinking about suicide. I am scare!!!!! I am scare to tell my therapist about that, what if she throw me into the nuts house???? :(

[skankedout]

this video makes me want to kill myself.

[amancini666]

God bless all their souls. I know how they all felt...

[ivy12345678ful]

This is a very good lay out it got good messages and the song is just great. But one thing i have to agree with SasukeLoveErin,cause I felt the same like he/she felt.

[bluesixx734]

who sings this song?

[woahzombies]

it's "Mad World" by Tears For Fears

[koalastephanie]

I lost one of my online friend to suicide at Mar.27. She was only 21. RIP Alissa.

[amancini666]

Sorry for your loss. God bless her soul...

[poohbabydiane]

i really hate when people talk about suicide and hurting themselves. thats why for my speech i am trying to encourage teens to help stop suicide and this video would be a great example, but idk how to save it. any suggestions?

[shortyx2xdope]

my best friend warren hung himself in the early morning of march 2 , 2006. i miss him every day. i have a tribue video on my page. =(

[SasukeLoverErin]

these videos are saying stuff like if you kill your self it will hurt alot of people.well that might be true but does anyone ever think of how much pain the person who wants to kill them selves is in.personaly i think it is selfish for people to make others stay alive just so the person who is saying that to them wont feel pain.i am suicidle and people i dont even know are comeing up to me and saying that.dont just think of your selves think of the person who is in pain and what is best for them

[SakuraLovesNaruto17]

im sorry about ur loss 2 your son he looked like such a grate person to hangout with. i lost my granpa this past year so i know how it feels to lose someone .. i didnt lose him to sucidi but he did die his death has changed me .

[koalastephanie]

I love the song, thanks for sharing

[Panmaus]

An excenllent video presentation. I'm impressed about your texts, they are full of emotions.

Good work!

[danieknoxville]

i lost my cousin to suicide i wish he was still here...........

[amancini666]

Im sorry for your loss...

[MileyRayJ]

my friend is the one w/ long dark brown hair

[andrtaker]

yeah suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem in life but also keep in mind that problems in life is infinite as long as you live a new problem will soon occur.

[RazorVrakking]

Suicide is a way out of pain. Sometimes the pain doesn't not go away. I've been under a severe despresson for 20 years and I'm only 26. You tell me how much longer do I have to feel this way. I don't know what not feeling depressed even feels like. I have no memory of it. Anti-depressants and therapy do not work in my case. Some people arn't going to get any better. Sounds like you've never had depression.

[andrtaker]

ive been depressed for almost 10 years, ive been into 3 physciatrists and none of them helped me all they do is give you pills and shit like anti depressants theyre bunch of useless. and what do you mean im not depressed? if you see me in person youll see my arms and body with scratches and wounds from my past attempts of suicide, so dont say that ive never been depressed before cause your wrong.

[RazorVrakking]

yea my bad, i miss understood what you said. I was actually tying to coment on the video I was watching before this one. sorry abut that

[moliflower]

I crawled out a collapsed building that killed 25 girls in 1983 and expected myself to die in a earthquake that took 2321 lives 9 years ago. Every day I live in the shadow of death, ironically the quick way to get out of this is to take the matter into my own hands. Couple months ago, I realized that evolution has decided that I am weak and I should be wiped out. If I killed myself, the death wins. So be strong, nature will try all its might to press us down.

[RazorVrakking]

That was like 3 months ago. But thanks away. Worse case secenario, if you wanna die, strap a bomb to your chest and take out someone who desereves to die with you.

[erasmusso]

Where can I find a bomb?

[persona19]

I love how they always try to guilt trip the person, saying how their suicide would hurt a lot of other people. You fucking selfish assholes, why wouldn't you be happy for the person that they aren't suffering in the world anymore?

[fullspectrumm]

Because the reality is is that someone who has lost someone to suicide is 9 times more likely to try it themselves - stats show that it *does* hurt others. Whether you want to or not it will always hurt someone. Just is reality.

[xxPeteWJoeJloverxx]

well if people really care about you they should tell you my own parents never payed any attention to me and they acted like they could care less about me and still do I'm not suicidal anymore but my parents care even less than before. They have no idea how close they were to losing me.

[eleveneggs]

Maybe they should have said all these red thoughts before it was too fucking late.

[ghosthoundfan]

this video makes me cry

im in the mood for suicide but i cant do it at the moment !i also cant stop crying!

[humanstructure]

i just had a friend who commited suicide last week. and you know i never realised till now that suicide prevention needs to be taken more seriously! it needs to be in schools on t.v and in more places then just youtube because its taking more people then it should. but thankyou for creating something to try prevent this problem. even if it prevents just one person from doing it it would be awsome!

[sjastie]

I'm always in struggle with life

i need some rest!!!

[whatnameisavailablee]

this releived some of the tension..

[H311canwait]

i dont accualy think anyone will miss me when im gone so i guess this should help but so far i think its going to be nice to die im waiting 1 month today to die

[dota175]

Arghh... this videos are making me even more suicidal!

[pegemini77]

I would love to use this for my health class. Can you download this to burn it?

[bjoumol]

I going to kill myself, no one care or understand me.

And this is the end, and im only 14years old no one know the real me. In the end is my life just a big mess.

[aznphi01]

y is it a mess?

[TwilightMaster01]

please don't do that, I care, ask for help and don't stop till you find it

[dota175]

I don't know what to say. I am only 11 but I want to cut my veins!

[lifetec82]

everyone's life is a big mess, they just do what they can do in the environment they can afford. U just need someone to talk to...My life is a big mess...and I'm 24 years old. U 're just growing up, it will be easier to deal with everyday bullshit

[imaginemee]

Life has more to offer... but if you keep hiding inside your own world you will never know what are you here for...

We are all here for something, maybe not that big a deal for you... but maybe you just saved a life.... Need to love yourself and embrace your powers....

everyone has powers....

Love and do what ever you want...but love

if you love yourself you wont hurt yourself...

[musicgirl8793]

i want to die i want someone to care i want a better life i dont wanna be lonely. I dont wanna run away and hide anymore and cry. i want to be someone with a normal voice. not someone who has to go to speech therepy and have friends and my dad be nice. my brother not doing drugs and my best friend not to blow me off. i don't know what to do...

[amsh82]

i wish i can help , but i'll tell u the truth.

the truth is u don't need hep, you can offer help, cos i see u in married in the future to some one deserves u , and have a family , and make your daughter feel that she has a grat dad, and she has a good brother (without drugs) ...

see you have to help your unborn daughter

please trust what i am telling u

[musicgirl8793]

so are you saying maybe true love can save me?

[amsh82]

well, at first thanks for your reply,

and the fact is not the true love.

the fact is to put a great target and try to achieve it, and the failuer must make you stronger not weaker to keep on and follow a recovery plan.

you should belive in yourself as a big big factory and you are the chef, and any problem shouldnt close that factory,no you should fllow plan B.

[amsh82]

[amsh82]

speaking about love there is no complete true love, when i was in love i thought it was everything but when i broke up , i was really really depressed, but now i belive that you shoud love any body more than yourself.

think about love as the highest degree of frienship , not as a way give your soul to someone.

[gymman1031]

I think about suicide often. I make very little money. I am not good-looking. I am not a good athlete. I live in a small town, where my dad is famous. It sucks being in his shadow. And, I have a surprise for you all. People think I am set for life because of the millions he has made. But, guess what? I will not take the money. My dad and I are mad at each other, and it wouldnt' feel special. I don't care if that means never getting married. I know that no girl would ever want to be with me.

[gymman1031]

Don't you agree that most girls would turn away from me?

[ahumanperson]

thats not true.

you dont know that

life does sometimes feel like that

but i can guarentee it will eventaully get better.

[rerewert2]

some times people come to me for advice sometimes and they say i make them feel better and say that if i need help then they would help me.. how could they help with something this big im so afraid from myself ive shut down all my emotions... except my depression...i cant stop that ive tried

[graeme6630]

rerewert2, I can relate 2 you when you say you've shut down all your emotion except you're depression that's exactly how I feel.

[musicgirl8793]

me too i feel the same way u and rerewert2 does! people make fun of me. last year lots of people did but someone stood up for me. but then a teacher caught them and got them in big trouble and they still hate me though. but now one stands up for me. not even my best friend and my family doesn't help at all because im going through a tough time...

[graeme6630]

Sorry to hear you're going through a tough time just now, musicgirl8793. I was bullied at school as well, so you're not alone when it comes to that, believe.

Well, I'm a bit better since a month ago - when I last commented on this video. I have good and bad days but we all have those. I've struggled with my depression for 5 yrs now. I've tried talking 2 my mum but she doesn't want 2 talk about my depression

[rerewert2]

i got into a convo talking about death and funerals and how we would want to be rememberd and how we wanted our funerals to go and one person said yeah but none of us are gonna die soon and another said yeah except you (my name) you can go ahead and die no one really cares. and no one stood up, no one disagreed. bin like this for about 2 months now and its seeming like a less worse idea every day

[graeme6630]

Very sorry 2 hear that rerewert2. I take it this was a group of friends u were having this conversation with?

Well, the way I see it. The fact that 1 of them said u go ahead and die, and that no-one stood up 4 u and disagreed with this person said 2 u just goes 2 show that those people don't care about u.

[Vercettislugger]

You should have stood up for yourself and punched the douchebag right in the family jewels. See if he demeans people while singing sorpano.

[relajante]

VERY nice, but you know, I've realized that most of the videos about suicide don't keep in mind that it is so damn difficult to think about the others when you are feeling suicidal... Suicide is selfish, it's so hard to change that when you are shocked.

[DirrtyPoser]

So lovely and so true..

[JamiePS3Howitt]

really moving video.

[ih8suvz]

Thank You, Its a good idea to do this video.Thanks

[proudlydonut]

Thank you, it's nice to get feedback and it's nice to know it's having a positive impact.

[ilikedumbthings]

i tried to kill myself like...4 months ago, and it was the biggest mistake i ever made, im happy im still alive, im happy i woke up, i really scared my friends and fam. this video makes me remember of what i could lose....thanks

[proudlydonut]

Thank you. I am hoping it reaches out to remind people of what they could lose and of how it can effect those who care about you.

[GavinMercer]

but what if you're suicidal because no one does care about you?

[proudlydonut]

That's what I believed when I was suicidal along with a lot of other people who feel suicidal. The thing is, it's easy to see what we want to see. Even when we think we're being completely logical, the overall feeling can persuade us that no one cares.

To answer your question: in talking to hundreds upon hundreds of people who are suicidal, I have yet to come across someone that hasn't at some level thought of someone that would miss you if you weren't here. *Someone* always cares.

[proudlydonut]

I should mention that there is a great, growing community on facebook for suicide prevention who support one another. Lookup "Suicide Prevention" under groups and causes.

[freedom22yeshuua]

@GavinMercer an every1 u just wanna talk come over 2 facebook my names freedom stewart just check it out if u want to talk add me if not check my pro out anyways i use to be a cutter addicted to blood tattoos plz come talk to me and plz dont give up u are worth it i use to be suicidal an alot more plz find me

[hottiebabydoll555]

how did u try to do it?

[prettypretti]

does anyone know whta this song is called??

[proudlydonut]

Gary Jules - Mad World

[diverkev]

What is really sad is that there is still a few people who consider a mental illness as a sign of weakness.

[scayler]

When you look in other people, you don't know what's going on, so just say something you don't know like what's up and you might've save that person from being isolated...

[Sam9227]

this makes me cry i considred once but i am better now this is so moving

[mrgiambrone]

its strange how you can surrounded by people, people who love you and you still feel so numb. empty. so ashamed.

[TearsOfLithium]

...:(

[diverkev]

This video is about me I feel so empty and alone

[mnetrucker]

raflim, we're on the same boat. Although I'm caring less and less. I don't even know what to believe anymore. Maybe we're all just fk'd in the end. I just want to be lifeless, no thoughts, no existance. Just an empty vessel....

[narfysworld]

I'm sure it was a mistake. Don't take it personally Raflim, okay? Hang in there, hun. You can make it through this. :)

[raflim]

those freakin people hung up on me when i said "hello" those fuckers!!

[raflim]

the only reason why i wont kill myself is because im scared of where i would end up..=/

[diverkev]

What has kept me from doing it is what it would do to my mother

[narfysworld]

This video is very powerful. I feel compassion and sorrow for all of the families and friends that have lost someone to suicide, or are struggling with depression. Thank you for sharing this video.
