The Silent Battle. 'Documentary' Mental Health & Addiction in Pro sport | Nile Wilson

- I wanted to share my story not because I thought it was more important than anyone else’s, but because I hope it will help others. So much of mental health and addiction issues relate to someone feeling disconnected - this my attempt to help others feel less lonely with these sorts of struggles. Ultimately we are all just human beings wanting to feel loved and connected.

Nile Wilson was busy asking everyone if they're alright, nobody was there to ask him. You alright?
True that's how I'm am. Always asking everyone if there ok.
Did you even watch it Ariel? Before you can help.. You have to be able to understand what is happening. They all say it..All though the filming.
This
Lots of people were there for him. He just saw them as 'fans' .. not 'real people'.
I thought the same thing.
Who else is really impressed by his manager?
Priceless to have someone like him!! 🙏❤️
He's a very impressive man indeed.
One of the rare managers that actually cares, a lot of top celebrity managers will just ignore all these warning signs until it's too late
manager or handler?
Awesome guy.
here’s nile giving us content we didn’t even know we needed.
Lloyd - Niles was giving content he didn't know HE needed. Now that he has done it, "We" can be even more supportive to him as a person, not the champion gymnast but the Niles hiding within.
I had no idea he existed but am glad I found him. Really cool story to follow.
Nile and his mates are the one of the greatest examples of positive masculinity out there. It's never 'sissy' or 'girly' to reach out and to have genuine friendships, and this issue could not be more important when it comes to mental health, in any gender. Thank you Nile for being such an amazing influence and having the courage to speak out about such a terrible time in your life.
I love how well spoken and level-headed his manager is. It’s so good that he had people outside of his family who he works with that cared for him and truly wanted the best for him as a person over his brand/business. Very empathetic man, makes me have faith in humanity.
Yes, Nile was very lucky to have him as a manager.
I’ve heard so many cases about athletes/stars being taken advantage of by their agents or managers, I’m so glad to see Nile’s actually cares about him
The part when Joanna first started crying got me crying😭
Massive love and respect for you Nile sharing this story. I don't think any of us really had any idea how bad it got for you. I think this is such an inspirational story for so many and the awareness from talking about this is amazing. I can't imagine what the people around you felt with what you were going through. Just shows that someone's actions can effect the people around them.
I was crying to 😢
110% here for men being open about mental helth issues! It is so challenging, and your honesty is appreciated more than you will ever know💕
Thank you for standing up for everyone
Yes yes yes
Only if they're rich and successful already.
@@KoroarNot true. I'm sorry if your experience has been different. If people can't hang with a person for sharing their struggles, then that person doesn't need those people in his/her life.
Ugh. When Joanna started crying 😭😭 literally hit me so hard. As a sister all you want is your siblings to be okay and happy. Seeing the person you know and love so much going through something you feel like you can't help with is heartbreaking. I feel this whole documentary.
Ive been here since the start and I would never would’ve thought that Nile was in a hard place because his videos had always been so happy,positive,fun and joking around with his friends BUT it just goes to show you can never know what happenes. NILE we all love you you are my idol and I’ve always wanted to do what you do❤️❤️
I sensed a change in his videos. I patched it up to the possibility that "CZcams success was, unfortunately, going to his head". But I guess it was more that a lot of his positivity was becoming insincere, and was an act covering struggles.
Right, this video blew my mind. Especially when Joanna spoke.
He is my too
I think this one of the few times someone has talked about suicide and I'm not triggered, thank you for not only sharing but for sharing in such a good manner.
Getting triggered/offended over things is a mental health problem in itself. It is impossible for someone, especially when engaging with a large audience to not say something that could be offensive.
@@buffybuff992 I'm not offended, I was referencing my own mental illnesses.
This is so relevant now during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics (July 2021) with Simone Biles withdrawing due to her mental well being. And Naomi Osaka withdrawing from the French Open for the same reason. Thank you.
I was recently medicated for anxiety and depression. I’m having a hard time. I can’t find a therapist so I have this venom behind this medicated veil. My family doesn’t care. I’m so alone. But this made me realize I’m not alone. I thought Nile was the epitome of happy. I stopped watching his videos all the time because I didn’t want to see the happy family success that I didn’t have. Thanks for making this. I feel seen. I am still here. There’s something to be said for that.
Praying for you ❤
Your right, your not alone. We with mental and/or physical health issues find it challenging to connect with others that don't. I sought professional help and luckily found a counsellor that knows my "brand" of illness intimately and gave me the tools to pull myself into the light of understanding me. Peace of mind is precious, I hope you find yours.
I'm like you, taking it one minute,hour or day at a time
If you need someone to talk to iv'e been there and gotten better im here to help and be a friend xoxo
I’m here. Never miss my meds. Never again want to plan my death daily. You are here. Never skip yr meds. Never think that way about yourself. You are NOT alone. You, I, and others are connected.
Beautiful documentary. I can't be the only one who cried watching this
You were not
i think you're not
No I cried xx
I cried!! You are not alone!
I cried too!! It’s okay :) x
His dad explains the way he feels so clearly its really impressive you really understand how he feels
His dad is handsome.
@@Girrrrrrrrrrrrrl66 of course he is! He looks like older Nile!
@@miriam3848 I just came across this channel and that’s one of the first things I thought after I saw them both, they look so much alike! And I think the sister and mom look alike too. The family is pretty adorable lol
They all seem to have grown from this pain. Unfortunately growth often comes from struggles. Best to everyone
He will never be "out of the woods"; but thankfully he realizes the important concerpt of "one day at a time". He even said it himself several times. Best of luck, Nile.
There is such a thing as out of the woods you just have to work to stay out of the woods once you get there not out of the woods may be different for everybody! There is hope even in the midst of mental illness! There was portion of the last 3 years where I was out of the woods because I was making good choices one day at a time but then I forgot and started focusing on the past and the future and I got back into the woods!!! There is hope and as you said it’s one day at a time
How have 68 People disliked this video. Some people just can’t respect how hard it is to put this out to the world
I disliked it becaue the volume was too variable. Music too loud then could barely hear them talking. I just couldn't watch more than 10 minutes even though I wanted to.
Kimberly - Wow. What a petty thing to dislike a message like this for. Whatever.
Kimberly what video were you watching? I'm deaf in both ears and cannot listen to someone speak and music at the same time. I heard ever word that was said. But hey ho you do you.
Idiots
Wether it's warranted or not. I'm willing to be that there are plenty of people out there who are going through stuff so vile and difficult that they watch this and thing "This rich good looking kid who's medalled at the olympics got down because of this???" I can see plenty of people disliking a video like this for their own reasons.
"This is how legends are made."
It truly is. No legend has come from everything being easy; every journey of growth and success comes with its own unique challenges and obstacles.
Thank you for this very personal insight into your life, for sharing your story with the world.
It hit deep at some points; I could recognise myself in some of the things you said and I'm sure I'm not alone with that.
Thank you, Nile, for being here and being an inspiration to keep on fighting and to seek help when we need it
I'm the same hun, I can see a lot of myself in this, I went from training my whole life with horses and learning from anyone and everyone one to getting to be an Eventer, the high I got from it was like nothing I'd experienced before and then at 20 (17yrs ago) I did to 2disks what Nile did to his and then they started crumbling, except mine is too dangerous to operate on, I just keep hope that one day there will be a safe way to have a 2disk replacement, but I'm so glad Niles could be cos I wouldn't wish this on anyone
As someone who is an athlete, who has experienced the highs and the lows for the injuries and the losses to the podium topping performances and wins, this helps me realise I'm not alone in how I felt and feel. It shows me that despite being in different sports the experiences are the same, and it helps create the discussion that is needed ♥️
Nile, I'm a 48yr old bloke from Wakefield, not too far from you, and apart from the professional gymnast part of your life I can relate to everything you have been through, & I mean everything.
Back in the 90's I was a Police officer, a professional & responsible job, one night whilst on duty I had an accident which resulted in a broken back. That was the beginning of the end for me.
The years that followed were the darkest years of my life & I was so alone. I remember one night sitting on a bridge with a rope around my neck just wanting all the pain to go away. That was the turning point for me, although I told nobody about what happened that night.
To cut a long story short I'm now disabled, live on my own and have nothing to look forward to, but I'm still here and that is a massive plus.
Keep your chin up, if you ever need to talk to someone who's been through the same shit then just get in touch.
All the best for your future, you have a very bright one.
Ik its been 2 years, but i hope u re doing better sir, greetings from Greece
You are super hope you have no idea sir ….from India
It wasn’t breakdown Nile... it was a breakthrough 💪🏼
Joanna crying really hits home how the family felt. Not only does it affect yourself it affects your loved ones. If your reading this, please get help. Please.
Just makes you realise, even those who seem happiest can struggle 😢
Everyone is always fighting a battle that nobody knows about 🙏
Amazing message, we all love and support you ❤ your an absolute inspiration mate 👌🏼
Just shows fame and money doesn't equal happiness.
The hardest of times are when we force our biggest smiles.
I remember in one of his vlogs he said somebody asked him how is he happy all the time and he said he isn't he's a human being just like everyone else, I watched that clip a few times and I could see the pain and uncertainty behind his eyes and his speech the way he sounded, I knew then that something was coming. He's very lucky to have good people around him, and he is a very strong person to come back from such a low place
This was a great representation on how dangerous and sneaky depression is. Someone like you that seems so happy and upbeat was just mentally struggling. Thanks for putting this out in the world. I often talk about my struggles with mental health (even though it makes people uncomfortable) hoping that they’ll learn something about themselves or be able to recognize signs in others. Very nicely done. Best of luck to you.
My son did not make it. He died by suicide. Hit by a train suicide. On tv, on the internet everyone knew. I was exposed but all alone it’s weird. The internet is weird
R.i.p. sorry for your loss
I know that feeling my really good friend killed himself and then his mum took her life after. I’m proud your still here ❤️
Sorry for your loss x
Suicide is a terrible shock, take care of yourself. God bless you in your time of need. 🤗
I am so so sorry that you lost your son, a suicide survivor myself. I can honestly say that in his heart of hearts he probably thought that by not being here he couldn’t/wouldn’t be a burden on anyone.
Everyone Who says....
“suicide is the cowards way out”
Has never truly been in the depths of the darkness of your own mind.
The times I have attempted weren’t cowardly, have you ever tried to get the courage together to take a couple of boxes of pills. It takes a lot of guts to go through with it.
I’m sure your son battled in his head for weeks before committing suicide.
Most people who are suicidal aren’t scared about their own death, they are scared that they will leave behind distraught loved ones who’s lives will never be the same again but at the same time they have that other ‘voice’ in there head saying “just do it, you’re a burden and a waste of Space anyway, they are all embarrassed by me” With thoughts ranging from can I do this, will I be successful, if I’m not successful will I wake up with life changing injuries etc. (These are generic thoughts not that of your son).
My good friend passed away on January 1st WHILST IN A PSYCH WARD ON A 1-1. Meaning a staff member had to see and hear her at all times. I’ve had staff who fall asleep on my 1-1, or sat on there mobile phones whilst they are supposed to be watching me. I literally have so many pics of stuff sleeping. Disgusting! She was mid-late twenties..
Then in April another young friend a girl 22 years young, took her own life at home, she suffered from anorexia/borderline personality disorder and OCD.
IT NEEDS TO STOP ✋🏼 🛑💛 THERE HAS TO BE MORE SUPPORTS IN PLACE.
I know it’s in the middle of a Global Pandemic but MENTAL ILLNESS NEVER GOT THAT MEMO 📝 MENTAL ILLNESS doesn’t just disappear because the world is on lockdown, MENTAL ILLNESS doesn’t take a break for birthdays, Xmas, Holidays,
I hope that you and your family are getting grief counselling or have a Therapist you can offload to.
You can even do online therapy which I have found much less stressful as I’m wheelchair/bed bound so getting to appointments is a massive upheaval as I need to take my *tube feeds*, *feed pump*, *Portable Oxygen Machine*, *Non Invasive Ventilator*, *Epilepsy* Rescue Meds*, *EpiPen*, *Dexcom* (blood sugar monitor, which is a sensor that is injected into the subcutaneous tissue just under the skin giving me my blood glucose readings 24/7, *HypoKit* (pure glucose injection that you have to draw up and inject which is for my rapid and severe low blood sugar which can drop as low as 1.1mmol/l causing seizures, coma and death
As you can see, it’s a task and a half.
I’m basically a wheeling/wheelchair Hospital and Pharmacy 😂 lol
So yeah if you prefer the comfort of your own home. Or you want to get a feel for what it would involve some places offer a first time session free of charge.
Again I’m so sorry for everything you guys been through.
My heart ❤️truly hurts for you guys.
Sending Prayers
From Glasgow, Scotland.

I cried when Nile wanted to take his life. I never thought Nile would want to or even think of that😭 I’m so glad that everyone around supported him because if he did I would not be the same person❤️❤️I have meet him and he is lovely❤️❤️I love you Nile so so much❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️this really helped me❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Nile you are an Insperation to so Many! I just started to watch you 6 months Ago! I was in gymnastics loved it but you Do Get hurt! It can be a Dangerous! I laugh so much watching your show !I Been Where You Are the Happy Go Lucky PERSON ! But I suffered Severe Depression My Whole Life!MY MOM DIED WHEN I WAS 7 RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME !Asthma attack in 1971 my Dad couldn't take care of us Foster Care! He Died 5 years later from a Broken Heart! I've gone to Counseling and they Asked How long have you been Dealing with Depression I said Problably my whole life! Depression was not a word in 1971!How could I understand that ! I'm 56 yrs old going Though this! Xx Just want to Tell Niles he is a Good influence Maybe one day you can Councel Athelets like you!
We've all heard "train smart, keep it real" many many times over the years now. It never hit harder or had the profound on my soul like it did at the end of this message. Much Love and Light to all!
I remember when I was living with depression. I was in a pub with my best friends and I felt like there was a glass wall between us. Everything sounded like it was underwater. It took years to fully recover and it’s always an Achilles’ Heel
Seeing one of my lifelong biggest role models struggle like this, absolutely heartbreaking but also so powerful and inspiring...
This has made me realise that I need to open up to people and tell them what I’m really feeling. Someone can ask you if your ok and your always answer I’m fine when your not. Thank you Nile you are truly inspiring
Nile’s tagline is “Train Smart Keep it Real.” He kept it real in this documentary. I am sharing this on my social media for families to watch, especially those with athletes or anyone struggling with finding success. Thank you Nile!
As an athlete going through injury rehab these past few months, watching you talk about everything has really helped me understand what I've been feeling. It's so hard staying mentally tough and I just wanted to say thank you for being so open about everything.
What made me first subscribe to the channel was because I saw a group of friends putting lots of effort into generating genuine contents and having some fun at the same time. I was laughing right along with you guys in the vlogs
It was after I delved deeper into the channel that I realise the athlete identity part of Nile.
So just wanted to let you know: It was YOU that made us laugh and sometimes cry like this video (ok Joanna crying contributed as well 🥲), it was YOU that made us want to subscribe and watch on. Or maybe the ballet tutu that done us in 😂
You are so much more than just your athletic achievements (btw its darn good) You are so much more than just the medals.
All the best! I’m sure your parents, Joanna, Ashley, Luke, Ellis they’ve all got your back ❤️
Nile is such an inspiration. Everyone has struggles one way or another. I always say you are as strong as your support system and a huge part of that is your family and friends and other people around you that are there for you. I am so glad that Nile has an amazing support system. I am so proud of Nile and his family and friends and I hope he achieves everything he wants and finds his true happiness.

Just because i seem happy dosen't mean i am
Just because i smile dosen't mean i don't cry
Just because i am a adult dosen't mean i can't have feelings
Just because i say everything is alright i still need some one to tell me it is.
Mental Health is real and we need to be there for those people.❤
Hey man , I’m going through some personal things myself too, and I appreciate that you can come out like that and be open to us. Thank you
“ Train smart keep it real “
This is the reason why I play football because of this quote
Looked like luke was about to cry but was being brave
An average man couldn't do half of what Nile does in his day. There are plenty of gymnasts that suffer from depression, they are under so much stress to work hard every day, compete at the highest level and have such high expectations for their lives. Then add you tube responsibilities and media exposure, Nile had to be super human just to be who he is as such a young age. Add injury to the upset, no mere mortal could handle this.
He is so brave to share the valleys as well as the mountains. The one thing you touch on is when you have surgery and your put under the anesthesia it can drastically change one's mental perspective. Just plain pain can unravel most people. The anesthesia drugs have many side effects that don't show up right away. It's such a struggle to come back to normal after the scar is healed getting one's head right takes time.
Nile we are so proud of who you are and the road you have traveled. Gods Speed, Mate!
He has a good family, especially his dad, who you can really see loves him
I was scared to watch this, but so glad (a box of tissues later) that I did. So well produced- honest & real, without being maudlin or melodramatic to distract from the content. Thank you. I am sure all of us (your million subscribers) are rooting for you and your day-to-day successes!
Me and my wife watched this as a big bearded builder I can say I cried. You have done well mate keep it up takes a bigger man to admit something going wrong than it does to carry on. True inspiration
The most epic part was from his mother, “He’s back!”
I watched the documentary with Michael Phelps and several other Olympians discussing the depression after the Olympics. It's so good to see this topic is being talked about more openly so people know they aren't alone. ❤
It's always the outgoing gregarious ones whose struggle w/mental health and/or addiction that catch you by surprise. It's not just the loners or unpopular ones that suffer.
I have struggled with anxiety especially through sport and I also have a masters degree in mental health. I used to think that because I knew about mental health , I should not be suffering from mental illness but this is not the case. Nile is a great person and I truely believe that he will do great things whether that be in sport or just in life in general. Thank you for using your platform to spread such an important message.
Amen
I know exactly what you mean. I’m a former psychiatric nurse who has had hospital admission with depression and I couldn’t shake the idea that I should be able to just shake the feelings off
This has to be the biggest misconception people don't talk enough about. I had a difficult childhood. And i've always though that once i learned enough about why it still affects me. I could easily figure out how to stop the feelings. Well i've learned quite a lot. But It does not work that way... depression and anxiety becomes physical. And it takes very difficult work to make progress.
Yes! I had postpartum psychosis, PPD, PPA based rage, and birth trauma PTSD. I basically treated myself. This kept me and my baby alive but it wasn’t until I got a therapist that I started to actually heal. EMDR mixed with cognitive behavioral therapy (which I was already using on myself), plus finally letting God lead healed me. Having a background in counseling psychology plus birth trauma PTSD, I was terrified of medical professionals trying to prescribe something or taking my baby away. Thankfully, I found a counselor that specializes in birth, she ended up being my birth doula for my second birth, and she is natural minded and understood how pharmaceuticals have repeatedly negatively impacted me, including during both births and was basically found to be the reason for my psychosis. Trying to survive under my own knowledge and strength was one of the hardest things I did, but it was harder admitting the truth to someone else.
Appreciate you sharing your story with the world. I’m sure many people with find comfort, inspiration, insights, and support in this documentary 🙌💯
aw man. I know your never gonna read this, and my opinion doesn't really matter, but I'm so proud of you. to actually share this is so brave and I think we appreciate it more that you could know.
This is just what I needed I am at my lowest and this has just given me that extra little boost today.... Thank you ❤️
day by day, you can make it!!
Here for you Jasper 💚
@@OwenJackson thank you so much people don't realise how much a simple message can mean to someone!
@@simonemadaschi1691 you know it thank you!
@@jasperdallard3815 I mean it. Got to lift each other up. 'A candle doesn't lose its flame by lighting another candle..'
Thankyou soo much for making a film like this, everyone at some point will suffer with their own mental demons, I have my own I am constantly battling with, you have been through soo much, just remember you are super strong, not just physically, but mentally aswell
I saw a lot of documentaries but none of them were inspiring. BUT! In this video, the message conveyed is very powerful! Making everyone motivated by this documentary. This is a very clear and very uplifting video to me and the people watching it. Thank you for being an example to the public and motivating us. Thanks for making this documentary
Two of my friends took their own life, this was the first time I ever experienced death or this type of sadness. It broke me. It felt like the light that was my life had gone out. I thought about it all day, every day. One night I woke up at 3:20am and I thought, this is where it ends and this is where I do it. I felt like nobody could understand what I was going through, it was torture. It’s only been two months since then, I am still working on seeking positivity and lighting back that light. For anyone reading this and is in that dark place, please know that there are people who love you and care for you. I know it seems like everything is against you but I promise this is not the end it will get better x
things will get better!! Don't try to simply forget but own what happened to you, and you will come out of the tunnel stronger than before
simone madaschi thank you 💕
YES! The main thing to remember is that however dark things get,
IT IS BOUND TO CHANGE!
DM me on insta if you ever need a chat ❤️
Wow, I’m speechless. I can’t believe I’m only watching this after a whole year. Thank you for being open and honest about your experience.❤️
From one who knows personally what you’re been through first hand Nile, we stand united and warrior on. I’ve been in a very very dark and extreme lonely place for about six months. Depression and anxiety has plagued me my whole life. And when I can’t handle anymore and want out, at the very core of my being, I know my mind is just overcrowded with thoughts and the chemical imbalance is raging out of control, I know I have to take action by either going to my safe place, or reaching out to my counselors, or even calling trusted love ones and I talk it through and cry and sometime scream and then I can rest and warrior on for another day. Mental illness is so very crippling, but with faith and family and friends we can get through it and forge on. Thank you Wilson Family and Friends for this. God bless you all.
I would like your comment 1000 times if I could, I too suffer with very bad mental health issues, and I know that I need to speak to my mental health nurses more, especially about how I deal with grief but I usually hide my deepest, darkest thoughts in a vault at the very back of my brain.
Thanks for that comment
I'm praying for you. You are not alone. I've been there too but there is a way out: czcams.com/video/fcqxzXMRGoc/video.html
If you need to talk please reach out, I’m on IG @gillys_journey83
Was it your son that passed from suicide?
I have so much compassion for Joanna! The sufferings of the people in front of someone who is also suffering is always real. Talking to others people about it help too, then it's like a waterfall which goes far away and always smaller. Together you are a great family and friends !!❤❤🏆
literally how can you dislike a mental health documentary
Never known what it’s like to win an Olympic gold medal, but you aren’t alone with your struggle, brother. Having personally experienced that struggle with addition and pain, your story really spoke to me. It takes guts not only to right your course, but to be able to share your experience with the world.
I’ve always loved watching your channel, and now I have an even deeper respect for you and those who helped you. You keep on being Nile Wilson and you’ll change the world one day, I truly believe that.
Train smart, keep it real, brother. 👍🏼
The only word I can say is: WOW!!
really strong message. so proud of nile's journey. hope this is such an inspiration to everyone, please just treat people with kindness and think of others mental health. ❤️
Thank you for sharing and spreading awareness!
Amazing! Thank you so much for sharing this. You and your family put across this real issue is such a clear and resonating way. Thank you for all being so honest. I know of a number of people with depression and have it myself and could really relate to feelings and behaviours you were describing. It's so great you got to a place of asking for help, one of biggest and hardest achievements you could ever make. I especially loved hearing your family experiences. The worries, arguments and strains described felt close to home and it was a comfort to see it's normal, it's no ones fault, and there is a way through that brings understanding. I hope other families find comfort in this too. You're amazing for using this platform to share this very personal journey. Keep going, you're doing great and it does get easier. Much love x
"the journey to happiness, was the happiness " that's something to live by
"Happiness was the journey to happiness". Wow. Like thank you Nile. I have depression and no one really knows and I am really struggling with it and thank you. I had trouble getting through this because of how much I see myself in this. Thank you.
I’ve never thought of myself as an emotional person, but I cried so much through this but smiled at the end. Hate that someone so happy could go through this. I’ve got so much love for this entire family. So much love ❤️
thank you so much for this. helped me more than i could have imagined.
I'm so proud of Nile over coming this well done bro💕💕
It just shows that what we see on the surface isnt always what is happening. Thank you Nile for being brave enough to share your journey with us x
this made me really emotional, i'm so glad that you got through it along with the rest of your family and friends. You're really such an inspiration to so many people out there. Stay strong Nile!
I just watched this, and i´m crying so much, you have no idea! You've been such an inspirational person to me for the past 2/3 years, and it's been you who has been putting a smile on my face everyday basically! Thank you so much for doing what you're doing, you are so strong and i'll always love and support you no matter what! Hopefully i meet you one day! Hope your quarentine/lockdown has been going well. Wishing you, your family and friends all the best!! Much love, Isabel
Im happy for Nile to have opened up and overcome these deep stages of his live.❤
This is truly amazing Nile. Being someone who is on their own journey back from depression, suicide attempts, and addiction this made me cry but also feel so honored that someone so famous who has been an inspiration to me in so many ways on my journey, someone who got me through cancer treatments with his energy, also went through some of the pains I have....it is touching. Amazing. The most inspirational thing I have ever seen him make. We are not alone. You are not alone Nile. Truly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for being this vulnerable. Thank you for sharing. Thank you for being you. The world needs you. All of you. The ups, the downs, the good, the difficult. Share it all because you are amazing and truly my hero.
"tough times never last, tough people do." an inspiration for everybody! and so happy you finally getting out of it Nile! I love this cause it literally explain what people who suffer depression (like I did) feel. Nailed everything and can't agree more with everything you said.
Depressions a mofo. Especially if you don't get help. You do have to be disciplined to get yourself out but you don't have to do it alone. Amen.
I hate this saying. Having suffered with depression off and on for many many years, this saying is trite and loved by those who don’t have depression. When you are in the utter depths of this disease, you just want either disappear even more or punch the person in the face who says this. So freaking preachy and nonsensical.
Thank you. Thank you for sharing. I needed this
Honestly this touched me emotionally soo much. I had depression before one and a half year and you were relief. I have smiled only when i was watching your channel. Also friends left me bcs of that, you and luke were my friends and it hurt so much to know that you struggled with that as well and you were be able to act like it is normal. I love you my friend.
Nile, you are an amazing young man (now I know I am getting old when I am calling a 24 year old 'young man'!!!) and always remember one thing which it took me so long to learn; your value as an individual is not tied to your successes or your failures, every single person is priceless no matter what they have achieved or not achieved in life. Good luck in Tokyo 2020 (I think it's weird that they call it 2020 but it's going to be in 2021)
This was absolutely amazing! I needed to hear a lot that was said! You are such a brave man to open up like you did. So honest and everyone showing their true emotions touched me. Keep up the amazing work!!!! Much love
