ASMR Supportive Friend for dealing with Suicidal Thoughts, Bullying, Depression, Anxiety

First off, if you are having suicidal thoughts right now, please call someone, whether it's family, friend, 9-1-1, your physician, check yourself into an emergency room or the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline / Hotline.

In this video I act or "role play" as a supportive friend for anyone dealing with suicidal thoughts, depression, bullying, anxiety or worry by sharing my own experiences in dealing with these issues myself as I battled and still battle with depression, anxiety and worry, was bullied and also attempted suicide (though my attempts were not as serious as some others out there, as I was never hospitalized or needed medical attention or intervention). This is more than just a "role play". This is me being genuine and the things I would try to say in real life if I was with someone going through these hard times. Unfortuantely since I can't be there in person, I hope this serves its purpose instead.

This video was off-the-cuff (it looks like I'm reading from a script but I'm not, just looking down as I gather my thoughts). I did my best in this genuine moment to say what I could on these very sensitive subjects.

For anyone wondering why I'm whispering or what ASMR or why I'm doing a "role play" is to provide a relaxed, calming and soothing experience for the viewer as if I was giving them one-on-one, personal attention and care. I primarily create ASMR videos for this reason so I decided to do something more serious, honest and genuine to help those in need. This may not be relaxing given the topics, but hopefully it will help in someway.

All the best,
Paul aka E.R.

Twenty-one now, I've been depressed and suicidal since 17. Went from a very small private elementary school straight to sixth grade middle school, bullied a lot, made me develop social anxiety I've had to this day. Also recovering porn addict, never had a serious girlfriend, still a virgin and all that. So my self esteem tends to be low and I feel suicidal.

I'm still recovering from my last attempt - one week coma and hospital and stay with other "crazy people"... I'm 25 and is 3 years into a severe, diagnosed depression episode. still coming through. the only way I'm surviving is because I'm too knocked out by the meds to think about anything. but I discovered you recently and you are genuinely a good person. I'm happy I found this video. a little light in the dark? cheers.

Life is great. You are the universe experiencing itself as a human for a little while.

I truly appreciate you making this. Though I'm still only in my 20's, I've been through many similar things. After all that happened, my suicide attempts were failures not because of a flaw I couldn't undo, but because some integral part of my mind was refusing to die, despite the blade in my hand. I believe we have this survival instinct in common. It was a pleasure to listen.

In here to say that calling a hotline has helped me in some of my darkest moments and kept me from self-harm and suicidal thoughts.

I called back the same line twice in six months, and the same person answered the phone for me, and knew my name and my story, and my heart felt touched. They are wonderful and there to help you.

thanks, EphemeralRift. <3
