 It's extremely difficult to deal with anybody in our life who is making suicidal threats and something's been going on between Keemstar and Boogie2988 and we need to talk about it and it's a very serious subject and a little bit of a trigger warning obviously we're going to be talking about some sensitive stuff so if you need to take off, I'll see you next time. What's up everybody? This is Chris from the Rewired Soul where we talk about the problem, but focus on the solution. If you're new to my channel, my channel is all about mental health. Sometimes what I do is take what's going on in the YouTube community, try to see what we can learn from it because a lot of this stuff is happening in our own lives. So if you're into that stuff make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell and if you didn't know all this month I've been writing a crap ton of mental health blogs over on the RewiredSoul.com, my website so if you want to go check that out and then after I'm done after I wrap this up I'm actually going to put it all together in a free ebook that I'll send out to everybody. I'm going to record an audio book as well but I got to pay an editor and all that stuff so that one will cost probably like five or ten bucks but anyways I'll keep you posted but for right now go check out the mental health blog if there's different things you want to learn about improving your mental health. Alright so anyways like those of you who don't know me and you don't know my channel like my channel isn't here to just talk about tea or drama or anything like that if you have these massive creators these massive creators like Keemstar, Boogie2988 like combined like what is it almost 10 million subscribers between the two of them that is a massive massive audience right and that means that there's tens of thousands of people if not hundreds of thousands of people watching what these guys are talking about right and we need to take a look at what's going on in our lives like it's not just something like oh these guys I don't know like this is happening in all of our lives like there is a good chance that you've known somebody who is suicidal you might have known somebody who actually took their own life I know that's my experience I've known people who have made suicidal threats I've had too many people in my life pass away from taking their own life aside from you know drug addiction and overdoses and all those things and I talk about this from personal experience as well because in my own drug addiction I was very suicidal right and even when I first got sober so this is something that I take very seriously right and when this conversation is happening very publicly and you see people like Keemstar and what he's saying it's absolutely brutal so again I'm not gonna drive into dive into the whole drama of it all Keemstar and Boogie have been going back and forth on Twitter blah blah blah blah right but anyways Keemstar just posted this video over on Twitter you keep tweeting me and you keep texting me Keem I'm sorry I hurt your feelings you keep spinning into this first of all this ain't about feelings it's just man-code shit you're just being snakey you're asking for help and then snaking behind the scenes it's just man-code shit it's not that about fucking feelings no one's over here hurt and upset no I'm just like fuck this guy I'm gonna fucking show everyone who he really is it's that it's not feelings and I don't even know why you're attempting to apologize because your apologies mean nothing okay you're a sick twisted manipulated motherfucker that was willing to go and stop criticism on you by threatening to kill yourself what kind of selfish manipulating fuck are you oh I dubs if you make a content cop on me I'm going to kill myself like you literally set that to him you said that to all of his friends you said it to every youtuber you fucking knew so you would spread the word out to try to stop criticism that's how bad and twisted and manipulative you fucking are go fuck yourself it's not about feelings it's man-code shit time to grow the fuck up big daddy team about to teach you how be a big boy okay so let's talk real quick all right like the lack of empathy and compassion it it blows my mind so like here's a good example like I'm gonna be real with you guys I just made a video I just made a video yesterday two days ago about all the nasty stuff people are saying about Taylor Nicole Dean and to Taylor Nicole Dean who is recovering from a heroin addiction right I'm watching people actively justify calling her a junky whore right like people like well they do kind of have a point like what planet are we living on you know what I mean like this is one of the reasons why my channel exists like why are people so angry and when I look at somebody like you start like again my videos are for all of you and many of you know like I come from the realm of addiction right but most people with addictions also have mental health issues and when it comes to addiction I understand where a lot of the hatred comes from from people you know like you get angry you get upset like it's difficult watching someone you love wasting their life away because of drugs or alcohol it's difficult having someone close to you stealing from you lying to you like that hurts you know what I mean so I understand where that anger comes from you know and what I just try to teach is that these aren't bad people via these are sick people right like the conversation around cancer would be much different if we started getting you know symptoms of cancer you started like stealing your mom's like jewelry and stuff like that right like addiction messes with your brain now very similar with mental illness okay like certain mental illnesses make you do certain things like imagine getting mad like I understand getting like frustrated like you know with like your grandparents or parents depending on how old they are like imagine getting like really angry at them because they have dementia or Alzheimer's right if you ever seen those really awful videos of like people who work at like nursing homes and they're just like beating the crap out of old people or being frustrated with them like those are appalling right like it is this unfair power dynamic and you're like this is like a poor old lady or old man who has brain problems right like mental health issues are brain problems and when it comes to someone like boogie 2988 who has been very vocal about his traumatic experiences and by the way this isn't making an excuse for boogie right like we all have to take accountability for our own mental health issues but to see someone like keemstar like just out there talking to us massive audience about how this guy is manipulating people and threatening to kill himself it's brutal here's why it's even worse so like I was just talking about with addiction and things like that like I can't even imagine I can't even imagine if you want leave a comment just say yes right do you know somebody or has anybody you've known died from a drug overdose right like this is something that happens all the time now let's talk about suicide earlier this year Erika took his own life right and I remember when this all went down and I was defending keemstar and I'll still defend keemstar in this aspect right because people were blaming keemstar for Erika's death and keemstar was coming on camera pretty much crying because Erika took his own life and I can't even imagine having all these people blame you for Erika's death right and I stuck up for keemstar I'm like listen it is not fair to blame someone for a suicide you know what I mean but the fact that this dude it's been what less than six months maybe six months since Erika passed away and keemstar is now using his platform right to talk about boogie's suicidal threats and talk all this trash to him like I just don't understand this lack of just human connection and not getting that right like play this scenario out again and you know I'm very glad that boogie has a support group I'm not sure if he's still in therapy but I know he's talked about therapy before and even medications everything like that but like play the scenario out if boogie were to take his own life this video I just showed you everybody would plaster that all over the place blame keemstar again like when is this dude just gonna chill like we get it man like it's like super tough bro dude and like you got a sick beard and maybe like guns and hunting and stuff but like chill the hell out like this is real stuff that's going and you know this because etiquette just took his own life but again my videos are for all of you like I I don't have the time or hell even the knowledge to walk you through how to deal with someone who makes suicidal threats but I just finished this amazing book called stop walking on eggshells it's about dealing with people about borderline personality disorder in your life people with BPD some people with BPD do threatened suicide right some people with BPD do self harm some people with BPD end up committing suicide and many of those are accidental suicides from self harm alright or from threats but anyways in this book stop walking on eggshells there are a lot of tips on how to deal with someone who is threatening suicide because like I've been on both sides of this thing as somebody who has been a drug addict to someone who's been suicidal and made threats and everything like that I've been on that side of it I've also had people threaten those things you know what I mean so I try to see it from both sides and I try to educate myself but there will be information down in the description below like the holidays are coming up this is a very rough time of year for a lot of people but listen if somebody like this is just my suggestion my advice from my experience if somebody in your life is threatening suicide right you get them help you call a wellness check whatever it is right and if that person keeps doing it you need to set up boundaries alright you cannot kill anybody and you cannot save them alright when they are threatening suicide okay so just remember those things guide them towards professional help or you might have to back away for your own mental and emotional well-being alright but anyways that's all I got for this video again there will be some resources down in the description below if you want to check them out if you would like some mental health blogs don't forget check out my website the rewiredsole.com and yeah if you like the video please give it a thumbs up if you're new subscribe ring the notification bell and a huge thank
