Wooooow. Helpful brothers. real helpful

Such a thorough video, I appreciate the guys talking about what and how that moment affected their lives. It's seriously important to talk to others about topics like these. Watching this video has really open-minded me about how (I feel) and what I should do. I didn't really enjoy life so much.. so I got into gaming, and that was great (don't get me wrong), but it wasn't a healthy lifestyle. I attempted to take my life last year and I'm so grateful that I am still alive today. I suffer from all sorts of disabilities. I won't hide it- but the fact that I am still here today; around the people I love. Is the most important thing everyone should have. Not much people quite understand how much life can be taken away in such an instant. Life is super precious and humans are humans. We can only take in so much... so talking to people you trust can make the difference. I was in the quakes myself. As a young man, I was around 9-11 years old. I am almost 25 now. So watching this video did bring back some trauma. But the past is the past. You need to remember that sometimes we need to go through that certain heavy task in life at least once to see and understand- also learn from it. I wanted to be a firefighter since I was the age of 6. I haven't achieved it yet. But someday I will... and I know I can. At the moment I have a hobby involving firefighters and all sorts of emergency vehicles. I love to record and watch back and also give an insight on what our firefighters do every day. Thank you for sharing and taking the time to make such an awesome video. This deserves so much more attention. Take care!

Thank you brother , Your words and the tools that helped you get to the lovely human you are , are really going to help me finally understand myself.... and help me evolve into the loving guy I am . Love my brother

the old guy at 12:35 using his hand as a mallet; Someone tell him not to do it. I knew a carver that had to have an operation after a few years of doing that, nerve damage meant his hand started closing up and he couldn't extend his fingers.

It's really sad that the government cannot provide one cent when it comes to helping men. Hundreds of millions of dollars are available for woman's issues but if you ask about violence towards men at the hands of women, nobody wants to know. I E-mailed woman's refuge to congratulate them on getting an extra $66million dollars. I asked where the nearest men's refuge was as I could have done with one when my (now ex) wife threatened to go to the police and lay a false assault complaint against me. I never laid a hand on her in the thirty years we were married. She knew this but as she said, the police MUST believe a female when it comes to domestic violence, even if there is no evidence of it. I left with the clothes on my back and she dumped my belongings in the street. All because I wanted to know who took the pictures of her having unprotected sex with multiple men and why would she put them on our computer. She said she wanted me to find them... nice huh? I have yet to receive a reply from woman's refuge but I'm not holding my breath.
