That you so much for making this video. It was beuatiful to see you share that part of your soul with us. You are an amazing individual, and you certianly inspire me. Keep doing what you're doing! Ohh yeah, and love the accent. You're completely adorable ;)
I attemped suicide when I was 18. (now 43) then it was a cry for help and an attempt to deal with being inthe closet. at any rate I really wanted to just thank you for your story as I can relate on so many levels. I am married now to a Man (which is allowed in my state Here inthe USA now and I just wated to say thank you. Marcel ,Salem NH USA
Wow, very intense, I suffer from depression as well and its very difficult to cope with and sometimes very painful but I try to stay positve one day at a time and take my medication. I usually get through it just near fine but it creeps up without me realizing it,
Hey, I just wanted to say thanks for this video. I suffer from depression and though i've never cut myself the very reason i have thought about it is because sometimes i need that reminder i'm still living, and because i have so may thoughts going on in my head. I can also relate to you..a lot of why i have depression is because of my home life growing up and in some ways i've become my worst enemy..in terms of low self-esteem. If you wouldn't mind, is there a way i could talk to you as well?
IMPORTANT: Please watch the full-length documentary "The Marketing of Madness" on youtube before you ever put your hands on psychotropic drugs!. The core message of the video is "NO PERSON IS TRULY NORMAL IN THE WORLD" and psychological problems effect almost everyone in the world in his/her lifetime. PLEASE SEE THE VIDEO AND SPREAD THE MESSAGE AROUND FOR THE BENEFIT OF OTHERS IN PSYCHOLOGICAL DISTRESS!!
I am depressed and I could only get 1/2 way through this video without shutting it off.Hey man,don't be posting video's to people that are depressed to do physical harm,like cutting themselves.If that was the case,go slam you hand in a door jam..Shit,if I listened to you,I would be in my kitchen right now with a knife in my hand.WTF.
Before you came out, were you ever really shy and afraid to show people your personality? I'm a junior in high school (year 11), still in the closet, and I sometimes find it hard to show people who I really am. I'm afraid I'll be rejected by them I think, but it's hard to stop because I feel like ive been trained to keep everything bottled up while in the closet. middle school was rought, i was made fun of a lot. It's making me feel really shitty. did you ever have to deal with this??
Thank you so much for doing this video! I can relate so closely to some of the things you've mentioned. I've been depressed on and off for 4 years and never quite found time to be honest with myself. I still often struggle and in the past thoughts of cutting myself have crossed my mind and its for exactly the reasons you mentioned - a feeling of intense hurting inside. It's easy to think your explanation makes you sound psychotic but its exactly how many people feel and they really don't have to
Don't let your thoughts weigh you down. Ive been there to, I failed many goals like to finish high school. I felt alone and had no one to turn to. Nothing seemed to matter anymore I wondered the streets for hours looking for some where to belong. At times it felt like I was shadow lost in the darknes not even knowing if Im dead or alive. But Im doing better knowing that some like you, who shares alot of the same views, is out there. You open my eyes to so much I dont know how I could thank you.
I had a very simular story. I went to self help programs using self help book. You have a lot of emotional pain that the pains is diversion and to feel. threre are other ways yes. You are not crazy, many people do it, however there are self treatement appropriaches.
dude this i can unstand man everything you said is true, here is a friend depression its all around i been with the depression most of my life its is a fight,
McGee this might sound harsh but I am all about tough love...don't ever do that to yourself again.
There is always someone out there to reach out to, friends, your viewers, family, call someone message someone when you're down REACH OUT...there is always someone out there...
You're a very level headed guy, whatever you're going through is just a stepping stone to moving you ahead to where you need to be and a bad experience to learn from when you become a whole, and complete person.
This video helped me realize I am not alone in this problem. I traveled the same road as you and I understand the addiction. It was more of a way to punish myself before it became an addiction and then a need. My family caught me attempting suicide and everything I hid came out. I'm glad I'm still here. Thank you for this video. I feel like my addiction and depression can never disappear fully but I learned to channel my thoughts a lil better.
It's good you posted this video. I've been thinking of doing this too. Soon. I've battled with this for so long. One thing I want to say about cutting that I'm sure you know, is the feeling the next day. It makes you feel worse in a way that you sliced yourself up. Last year, I did it so bad and I had to go to school with these cuts and now scars, during the summer months! It's hard. I'm glad you are hopefully seeing a light, and getting help. This video is good. Keep your head up!
Wow, this video made me think diffrent about life and evrything in it...nd i know the feeling of the blood running down ur arm nd feeling the warmth...but now i look at the scars and say...im glad i watchd this, im glad a fought, and im glad i stoped, GREAT video.
It is just amazing that such a handsome man, who is so intelligent, could suffer from such a horrible disease. For me i deal with depression by listening to old motown music, exercising and eating good food. I also make sure i surround myself with people when that loneliness creeps back in. It still happens but it is how i choose to deal with it that makes the difference. I have been suicidal but am glad i did not kill myself. Best wishes to this guy. Depression will always be in there,
Thanks for this sincere post - what you describe I have seen a couple of times with students i work with and it has confirmed what I suspect was happening in there lives - I think your advice how you came through it - I'll remember this post and use it should I be pressented with the situation again - sometimes i think young people have just too much going on in their head - your a loverly generous person - its good to see you happy in your more recent posts - hope the b/f works out - hugs
I now feel right to post this response to your video.
Many Sincere Thanks for this video it and your other videos have helped me to turn my life around, I think it is your straight forward talking that makes your video postings so powerful. You may have actually saved a life here and that is something you have every right to be proud of what you are doing on You tube. PLEASE PLEASE keep it up you are reaching so many people from all parts of the world.
What a great video for people dealing with chronic depression. It is so important to understand that we can't go though life with a laissez-faire attitude as other people do. We have to be proactive in handling stress and negative influences, and learn to notice changes in ourselves before they snowball. At the moment, we may feel like we will never be depressed again, but knowing that it is likely to return will actually make us happier people by promoting preventative actions.
hey! i am so happy to view ur vedio. i think it is so real and powerful. i don't have so many social activities now and i don't like my job! feel terrrible alone. after viewing this vedio, i feel much better. thank u
I too had (have?) clinical depression. I'm 58 now, and got this diagnosis at age 55. Everyone's story is the same but different! If you're curious, go to my channel and/or my blogs.
I'm enjoying your videos. You're articulate and good looking - a potent combination for future happiness, as 'empty' good looks is bad.
I've been with the same guy for 28+ years. Never easy...but like you said: "Don't be afraid to argue!"
Thanks Brodhe! I suffer from depression as well. I almost took my life 15 years ago...and it took me 15 years to finally realize I needed help. I was ashamed and embarrased. I still do a little bit...but at least now I know there is another side to life. Thanks for sharing your story! If you ever need an ear or shoulder...you've got mine anytime!
Thanks for telling your story wich was very honest and very brave. Depression is something that you're going through alone, but just the thought of others dealing with it too, might help...even if it's just a little bit. I dealt with it when I was at the end of my teen years...I'm 33 now and never really experienced it that intense anymore. You just have to think that if there's light at the end of the tunnel for others, then there's hope for you as well.
Brodhe - thanks fior your courage and generosity in sharing your story with others on YT. Congrats on seeking and accepting the help you needed to turn things around. Whatever life throws at you in the future - remember that you have the resources and resilience to bounce back. Cheers!
Hugz to you my brave friend...I fight it every day. Ive been through hell & back. somehow, i learned to live & deal with it. Im one of the lucky ones, im not on drugs, or addicted to anything. i always knew that was a dead end & only makes things worse. the older i get the better i deal, guess it's getting to know urself, what your triggers are etc... helps.
Sounds like you went through one hell of a miserable time.
I'm glad you pulled out of it!
I always think it's strange that all the advice I would give someone else never makes any sense when I'm deeply depressed myself, I guess you just have to be at the right stage to here it!
This was a brave video to make... it certainly helped me today!
That you so much for making this video. It was beuatiful to see you share that part of your soul with us. You are an amazing individual, and you certianly inspire me. Keep doing what you're doing! Ohh yeah, and love the accent. You're completely adorable ;)
