  • 2019 UPDATE
    I made this video a long time ago and since, it's had millions of views. More importantly than that, a large number of comments. These comments range from the appreciation of Keaton Henson's music to messages detailing hard times and loss. A lot of people who play this video find themselves feeling alone or struggling in some way. I wanted to write a message to all of those people. It seems easy enough to say, but the sentiment is genuine. You are not alone, you matter and you can overcome anything in time with the right support. Please talk to people and find the courage to carry on, whether from places online like this or out elsewhere in the world. I hope this message finds you well, and if not, that you feel better soon.
    Thanks for watching, Kate

      its like you wouldn't even care if you died, its such a common thought to you, such a familiar idea, that its dread doesn't even register anymore. Its like you've lost all sense of self-worth and self-preservation and even death isn't scary anymore.

      @rjhaney2614 Před 3 lety +39

      On some level, the fact that the decision you're facing is getting harder is comforting to me. It's a decision that no one should be making, and if it's hard to make that decision, then that's kind of a good thing.
      But on another level, I know that it feels like people are trying to guilt trip you into doing something that you don't want to do, that they are weaponizing your own selflessness against you. I know that it sounds like they are asking you to suffer for their sake.
      Here is what I have learned.
      When someone tells you that you are loved what they are saying is that they will help you if they can, that they will try to make living easier and that other thing that you feel like you want to do less and less of an option. When people love you they will certainly mourn you if you go, but before that and ABOVE that, they will celebrate you when you are here.
      I love you. That means that I want you to be okay, and that I know that it feels like being okay is impossible. You will be okay. You will prosper and live a life that anyone can be proud of. When I say that I love you, it means that I will help you with that however I can.

      @@oXAmyCakesXo it's not about how you take that love, it's the fact that they want to keep giving it to you. If you're gone... well... they can't. It's their way of trying to tell you how much it matters to them that they are lucky enough to love you in the first place. Believe me, when someone you're used to loving leaves, it's the worst pain your heart can feel.

      Sometimes we miss the getting to make memories with some people, but the great adventure of life is getting to make those memories in the first place and making more with others. Memories are always good, painful, gross, happy, sad, or whatever. They're always good to have because they shape us and how we live with others. I hope everyone can have great memories within the bad. And I hope I make new amazing memories every day, good or bad.

    I've tried so damn hard to be the first kind but everything goes wrong, and I finally realized why. You can't be the first kind of person until you are no longer the second. I am not okay. I don't want to die, but I don't really care to live either. There isn't anything that I want. I'm just drifting, and I don't really have a way to stop drifting.

    To those who doesnt have anyone by your side, believe me you do have people surrounding you. All you have to do is to reach out. Scream if you have to, just to grab someones attention. Im lucky to have someone hearing me out when I needed it the most. And its from the most unexpected places and people you learn the biggest lesson in life.

      7 years... For 7 years i suffered alone. I never let myself cry. That was what my 13-year old self until 19 years old. "I will bring it to my grave", i thought. But then my situation got found out by my parents and brought me to a psychiatrist. Its been almost a year since my treatment and it felt obvious that my sadness gradually get lesser because of the treatment. So i walk out to get some air and came back laying in my bed listening to this song. I felt like crying. My usual "dont cry. are you crying, self? dont cry.." finally turned to "let it all out.. what you felt all these years.." That was my first time crying so hard in my 19 years of my existence. not even the death of my 8 year old dog nor the burial of my grandfather, i cried that much. I never saw those tears so big and many running down my face before. And its surprising to hear my own wails of cries that i never heard before. I thought to myself, if the sadness will eventually go, let me atleast let myself cry of all the times i never did.

    Hello there, my name is Callisto but everyone calls me Cal. Thats not my real name of course, my real name is Maeve because I'm Irish. Right now I'm laying my bed, its 5am and my dad had taken to drinking again. My younger sister is asleep in the next room and right now, I'm tired. I play volleyball, I aspire to make my high school team. I'm also a dancer, I dance ballet because thats what my mom did. Of course, now my mother is an author and doesn't seem to have time for many things, but I guess thats to make up fro the years of work she missed because of my father. My parents divorced when I was 9, my sister was 6. My father never supported her writing, but he was the one who left her for another woman. My mother now lives in the same neighborhood as the woman my father was cheating with. My mother has a big house and fiancee named John who works all the time just like her. My dad lives 30 minutes away in a small house by the highway with his wife Ms.Caitlyn, they are 13 years apart in age. I have a step sister.
    My dad promised me that when he got married, he would stop drinking. Of course he's tried before, when I was in 5th grade he went to a rehab for a month. It didn't help. He did stop, he's been clean for awhile, but now he's falling back onto alcohol, it's just White Claws and Limearitas, but who knows how long before he starts drinking hard liquor again? It'll be in a few months tops. I'll run out of clothes again, he'll make me eat ritz crackers with shredded cheese again because he spent food money on vodka. I won't be able to play volleyball anymore, I won't be able to dance. My life will spiral down with his again and my mother will be too busy to notice. I'll be the money pit again, the expensive child. He ignores my sister. I guess thats good? I don't want her getting hurt like I did. She needs to live. She needs to do the things I never could.
    I don't remember a lot of my childhood 2nd, 3rd and 5th grade are blank for me. It's probably just my brain trying to block out things I don't want to remember. That seems to happen a lot. We got a new kitten, her names Ink. She's a calico and my mothers new object of affection. I can't remember the last time I talked to my mother. The other day I left for the pool and volleyball court to practice, as I do everyday, however I decided to sleep over at my friends house. I forgot to tell my mother before I left. I biked back to my house to pack a bag quickly and when i was leaving my mother didn't even look up from her phone. She still thinks I'm trying out for the dance team. I want to play volleyball. I've wanted to play volleyball. I have all A's and all honors courses even though I'm just starting as freshman in high school. I put my diploma for 8th grade on the fridge. My mom took it down after awhile so she could fit Ink's vet appointments.
    I'm at my dads house every Friday and every other weekend. I usually sit in my room on my computer or phone. I'm a tik toker and a cosplayer. I have 13.3k followers on tik tok and 530 on insta. My username is corpus_cal. Every time I bring up my account, my father talks about his 7k on reddit. Everything is a competition, and if you know something he doesn't then you're a smart ass. He's destroyed my life before. I've nearly died of neglect. I have this nasty habit of hoarding food in my room, he gets mad at me about that. I've stopped eating meals. Light snacks do best. Granola bar for breakfast, water and maybe tea for lunch because we're on the volleyball court. Dinner is our meal. Late night snacks, maybe a pie slice or two.
    My doctor has begged my mother to put me on anti-depressants before. She fired the doctor. Most of the time I have a hard time connecting with people. I call my mom 'mother' and my dad 'father'. It's formal but I have very little bond with them. My sister and I hate-love each other. I don't want to admit it but I despise her for taking away my childhood and all the attention of my parents. She was always sick with ear problems as a baby.
    I really want a pet rabbit, they're my favorite animal. My favorite color is red, I even dyed my hair that color. I love scented candles, but not the ones that smell like food, the soft flowery ones. Gardenia and Jasmine flowers remind me of my childhood home. My dad sold that house and I never got to say goodbye. My cat, Callie, is buried under the orange tree there. I'm 14 and people tell me I have an 'old soul'. I like to be the mom friend, I subconciously want people to rely on me because I feel it's the only thing I'm good at.
    I love going to the beach. Body boarding is amazing. I really want to learn how to surf, and to see a shark. We live close to the beach. I'm in Florida so it's always sunny. My mom hates the beach, she doesn't like sand and she's too scared to bring her computer so she can work. I have a privlidged life. I go to the top schools in Florida, I have electronics and I'm able to cosplay and openly be LGBTQ with my parents.
    I'm always really tired. My dad is too, I get it from him. He used to be off medication for his Bipolar disorder, because of the alcohol. He's on them now. He takes a lot of medicine, but it doesn't help and he knows that. Sometimes I just want to sit on the beach at night when no ones there and just exist in peace.
    I'm really good at art, but I'd rather be good at math. I hate art, and I hate myself for liking it. I never have motivation to do it and where will art even take me? I'd be better as a doctor or a zookeeper. Art really is so pretty though, I wish I didn't love it but I tend to see beauty in things very simple, such as a candle or a single shell covered in sand. There's a name for it, but I don't remember it.
    Thanks for making it this far, I'm sorry for your time, I hope you have a good night.
    2022: In March of 2021 I attempted to end my life. I now live with the scar on my wrist, it haunts me. I am in therapy, I am trying. Things just seem to be an endless spiral. I'm still tired, but I'm better. Both my sisters have harmed themselves. It's hard to see. I feel as though I'm being replaced, I can't feel much anymore and I don't have any friends, they've all left. I'm always floating but things make me happy, even if I do always feel like throwing up, and can barely look at myself in the mirror. Things with my father have resurfaced, it's believed he sexually assaulted me as a child, he used to put me in a shock collar. He won't ever apologize and I'm so, so tired. But I'm trying, so I guess that counts. I feel... angry, at the comments similar to mine, the ones reading out their lives. Why can I not have a single thing to myself? Become creative with your suffering. Part of me feels pity and the other blinding anger. Do not copy me, I beg you, it hurts me to see something so deep merely replicated, in fact, it makes me fucking sick. This is not a vent. It is my story, and by replicating it you have disrespected what I've shared. Please stop, thank you.

  • @vulpoltergeist
    @vulpoltergeist Před rokem +40

    When I first stumbled upon this years ago, I set an expiration date for myself.
    I'm 24 now, have a wife, a niece, and family that loves me. I'm free to be who I am and have not known abuse for years. I'm in therapy and realized I do, in fact, enjoy seafood; salmon is especially amazing. The only downside I can find is that, when I post this, my state's heavily affected by wildfires and the air quality is dangerous. Other than that horrible event, however, my life is good. A bit boring, a bit sad, sometimes- I'm poor, and have to be under a very tight budget- but life's been better for me lately. I wear the clothes that I want to, I eat the food that I want to, I enjoy what I want and even in the darkest days I tell myself "if I survive this, I'll have one hell of a story for friends and strangers"! Being alive is rough, but it is a beautiful experience (no, not in the flowers and sunset way; in the "books written like this are heralded as the classics" beautiful).
    June 15th, 2016. I sit alone in my room. I have everything I need right with me; nobody else is home, and shouldn't be for the next few hours.
    I'm only stopped by one of my dogs managing to get the door open, and have to immediately hide what I was going to use because she was trying to eat it. I tell myself that I'll just wait for another day. A few months later, I'd find what I wanted to do to myself and manage to throw it all away. To this day I don't have that in my home.
    If you, whoever is reading this, feel like there is no way out and that your life must come to an end, if nothing else I implore you to wait three more days for me. In that time, if you can, eat your favorite food. Talk with your favorite people- or just your animals, up until I met my wife my pets were the one thing that kept me going so I get it- and just talk. It doesn't have to be about this. It could just be about the weather, or just checking in, or a really corny dad joke you saw the other day.
    In that time, write down a list of everything you've ever wanted to do. This includes anything you, theoretically, could do at this moment, but don't have the energy to. This also includes taking a shit, if that's something you want to write down.
    In that time, go over your favorite things that haven't finished yet. You might find something worth sticking around for, even if it's just until the ending.
    In that time, I won't ask you to think about how everyone around you will react or anything, because we both know you're already doing that.
    In that time, as hard as it is, I need you to ask yourself: What if it gets better tomorrow?
    June 10th, 2017. I move in with my closest friend, a spur-of-the-moment, post-high-school-graduation decision dreamed up by a joke and miles taken maybe too far for some, and we start dating soon afterwards. One year and nearly a month from this date, I get down on my knees, a single onion ring in my hand, and ask her to marry me. She laughs so hard I swear to you she almost threw up, but she says yes anyways. We're too poor for any official marriage, and I continue what has now become a tradition among the two of us to propose spontaneously with whatever I have in my hands. She has said yes, every time; even with a garbage bag. The latest thing she's said yes to? A cold water bottle. She makes me believe that God just might be real, even if I remain an atheist.
    What if things do get better, against all perceivable odds, and you just miss that window?
    What if you just miss your favorite candy going on sale, or miss that cute bird in your yard, or miss seeing your pet sleep in the wackiest pose possible?
    What if you miss an amazing sunset, or a particularly good breeze, or rain that hits the windows just right and makes the world look like stained glass?
    What if you miss doing your favorite things, with no one else around to do them?
    What if you miss a friend finally messaging you first with the funniest meme you ever saw?
    What if things really do get better, but you're not around to enjoy it and enhance the lives of the people around you?
    What if you miss being alive?
    June 7th, 2023. The world is burning and the weather app says the air quality is 155 and the map for tomorrow shows 350 at the highest. I, in a panic, decide to play songs to help level out my mood because, despite surviving my life so far, I will always have that gallows humor and realize during the song that I likely don't die due to inhaling the smoke and ash from the distant flames. Just yesterday, I was talking with my therapist about a game called Limbus Company because I love it. When I got home, I was able to talk to my wife about, finally, actually getting an air purifier (better late than never, right?). I check in with my sister; she stayed states away back home, I'm the only one of my siblings to move anywhere far away from where we all graduated. She shows me images of my niece who is finally learning how to walk and has managed to look far less like a potato than she did at her birth one year ago. It finally fully hits me that, even with the world being literally on fire, I'm actually happy.
    It's been close to ten years since I set an expiration date for myself.
    I beg of you, reader, if you have made it this far;
    Please, try your best to wait. Nobody knows who they'll be in one years' time, or six years, or even a week.
    Please, do not give up today.

    My high school boyfriend showed me this song early in our relationship. He could play it on the guitar and everything. During that 2 year long period, we both struggled a lot with our mental health. We made it through high school but it was a constant fear of mine that he might harm himself. He was my first love and he meant everything to me. I wanted him to be my husband and the father of my kids one day. Unfortunately, we broke up after we moved for college and didn’t speak really for our own personal reasons and to try to move on. One and a half years later, my absolute worst nightmare came true. On the night November 13, 2022, he committed suicide.Though we didn’t speak for a while, all of these feelings are coming right back. This pain is unbearable. We’re only 19

    Don’t make it harder for me to do this. I never wanted to hurt anyone.
    I didn’t want to die.
    edit 1 year later: i come back to this song a lot. today i decided to go to the comments. id forgotten i wrote that. when i wrote that comment i was in an extremely ab*sive relationship and after posting this comment i did try to end things. but i was taken to a hospital and got help. im almost two months clean now! and im out of that relationship and have long cut off my ex. thank you to everyone who left responses, im sorry if i worried any of you.
    please keep going, you are deserving of life.
    edit another year later: I’m a year and almost two months clean! I’ve been through some really tough stuff between all these edits and certainly had my struggles, and times where I almost gave up. But I didn’t, and I’m still here. I’m so sorry to everyone I worried and I want everyone who’s going through now what I was going through then- it does get better. I know it can be impossible to see, but I promise it does. You have to stick around and see it, okay? Prove your past self wrong like I did, keep fighting because it’s worth it when the smoke clears.

And I live for myself as well. My own goals and ambitions and passions. I would listen to this on the bus ride from school and look at the same boy and wish he would talk to me and I could open up to him. Well now we’ve been friends for 5 years, and dating/bestfriends for over 2 years. And we’re both so happy together. I want to live my life to the fullest. Now I’m afraid to die, I want to exist and hold on to those I love.

    This hurts
    An edit: 3 years later. I struggled hard with depression for two years. I was miserable. I made other people miserable. And then, I got better, and I got better by deciding to. It was, and is, tough work every day. I have bad days. I have bad weeks. But i’m here as proof that trying works. Fight for yourself back, it is worth it every day when I experience something new. When I got in to my dream school. When I got my drivers license and took my little brother out to get ice cream. When I can have dinner with my friends.
    I crawled myself out of my depression for the life worth living. And I promise you can too. Talk to someone. Get help. Stop letting the hurt consume you. And when you struggle, take a breath, and try again.

I have my ups and good periods in between, but in the end it never seemed like anything I did mattered. It still doesn’t seem like anything I do matters, instead of being a student, friend and daughter I have turned into a problem and it seems like all my dear ones are suffering. I want to help them but it feels like a shot in the dark. I hope that one day I’ll end up somewhere along the lines of what you just described.

I lived through days telling myself that I'm disgusting and ugly. I lived through days where I tried to kill myself. I lived through days where I felt like I was worthless. But I lived. And I'm still living. Not because I failed so many times that I just gave up, but because I told my story and let all my pent up emotions out. Whether it be online anonymously, to a friend, or to a family member, tell someone. If ur going through rough times right now, dont give up. I'm here for u.

    I feel like this song just appeared out of nowhere when people needed it the most. I was just going through CZcams looking for something to watch after a bad day. realizing that the medication I have stopped working, and I felt anxious and down again. No energy to actually do anything. I wasn't in the mood to bother my parents again, with my complains about not seeing the point in anything, or the small feeling in the back of my mind telling me how nice it would be to just stop existing.

      My names aliyha. The sky today looks bright and happy but the moon looked sad last night I'm not sure why. My day was ok, its filled with arguments, but mostly they weren't talking about me (finally) Sometimes I feel like there's a better place I can go. The place I'm at is great, but not always and I know if I leave I'll never get it back so I dont. If the clouds drew over the sun I wonder how many people would be upset about it. The sun shining down on their face, feeling the crisp on their skin, and then they see a shadow on the ground inching toward them and then bang. They feel a breeze come in and they just sit there, waiting for the sun to come back, but the moods already ruinedd. In some ways that's our lives. Some people always have clouds while others always have sunshine. Others have a mix of both. Have you ever felt what its like to not been able to breathe? It feels like everyone's staring at you while you collapse and it doesn't even hurt. It's a subtle pain that aches in your heart and stings in your chest. But for some reason the only thing you can thing about is the fulfillment if breathe. You dont care about the pain, but how good it finally feels to take that big breath. My names Aliyha TonePahHote and I sometimes can't remember that, so if you've read this far I would like to ask you one thing: will you please remember my name?
      Edit: actually I'm still here for now. But again please remember my name

      Hey, thank you for leaving this comment. My day isn’t going to well but it’s better than the past few days. I’ve been friends with this guy for two years and our friendship has only gotten stronger. I’ve had a crush on him since I met him. It’s been killing me so I finally told him that I liked him three days ago. He doesn’t feel the same way. Even though deep down I knew he didn’t, it still hurt, still hurts. We’ve agreed to stay friends. My great uncle died in a fire yesterday. And today I’m not sure what life is going to throw at me, but so far I’m listening to this song silently crying, trying to make sure no one can hear me so I don’t have to be a burden on them. The sky is gray and cloudy today, the sun is barely shining through. I didn’t get to see the moon last night. My name is Mindy and I hope you have a great rest of your day, thank you for spending your time reading my comment

There are many brave people here who write their feelings out and I hope you will be one of them :) There are so many people with connections to this song and people who read the comments knowing that they will find emotional statements from many different people.
      I hope I don't come off as preachy, but writing out your feelings always help, at least yourself to understand who you feel.

    Hi. I’m Ruhie (Not my account), and I’m happy to say I survived.
    When I was 11 I started to gain an eating disorder, Bulimia Nervosa, and started to have anxiety spikes left and right. I felt so alone, I felt replaceable, I felt like my only defining trait that made people like me was the fact I was a skinny, pretty, good straight A student. I felt like I couldn’t keep it, I wasn’t good enough, I didn’t deserve anything I got out of life. I felt like my parents didn’t want me, that I was just another mistake. I wanted to be done, not be a burden anymore to anyone, I wanted to stop feeling so worthless.
    I almost tried to kill myself at 12. At the time I felt half-dead already, I had strep-throat and would hide my medication so I didn’t have to go back to school. I felt even more alone there. After I felt like I hoarded enough pills, I decided I was going to take all of them at once. I listened to my favorite playlist, and as dumb as it sounds, after I listened to one of the last songs, ‘Asleep’ by the Smiths, I knew I couldn’t do it. I hid the pills in my bag, and cried. I cried because I hated myself, I hated my life, I hated that I couldn’t do anything right.
    One year later, my eating disorder had gotten worse, I was 5’2 and 85-ish pounds. A friend ditched me to have more ‘popular’ friends, and I felt like the therapy I was getting at the time was pointless. But I also made a lot of new friends that year, realized how much I loved acting, and my mom didn’t lash out at me as much anymore. I told them about my depression, they’ve sent me to a different therapist, where I was prescribed anti-depressants.
    This year. 13 years old. I grew two inches and gained ten pounds. I’m happier, my medication is working, I’m getting proper therapy, and my diet has changed. I haven’t purged in almost two weeks, and now I’m drinking more water (my vitals were so low on hydration, I could pass out at any time). Things get better. I swear they do.
    ❤️
    Update:
    I’m 14 doing a lot better, my vitals are the best they’ve ever been, and I haven’t purged in about four months. I was recently diagnosed with gender dysmorphia and suffering in a whole other area, but I want to try to keep the update hopeful.

    Anybody thinking of taking their own life, I don't know if you'll see this or if it will have an impact, but I once read the words of some stranger on the internet pleading that people look for anything that could make them want to live for any amount of time longer. If you want to die today, think of something you're looking forward to next month, next week, even just tomorrow, even just an hour from now. Think of someone's smile who you know will make you laugh tomorrow, think of a movie you want to see, a sequel or a webtoon update, anything to keep you going until you are through it or you are able to find someone who can help you.
    When I read what that person said, I scoffed. I didn't think it would work, but last week I was on the very edge of just ending it, I was just so done. You know what saved my life? I had just gotten a new book from my favorite author, and I saw it on the bookshelf. Since then, that book has been my lifeline. Each time I think of ending it, I think of that book, and when that doesn't work, I think of the next book, all of the books and series I will miss if I die today. This may not work for everybody, but please at least consider it, at least try. It doesn't have to be big, it can be a shirt you know is coming in the mail, it can be literally anything as long as it helps you.

      Haven Barrow I've been having major issues with depression and anxiety recently and it's putting a huge strain on my relationship of six years. It's like there's not a day that passes without me considering suicide at least once and I feel like this song explains a lot of how I feel at the moment. especially the part that says "im scared that you'll know what to do, if I'm to die before you," because i have the constant fear that my death may end up meaning nothing to my significant other, even though I know he loves me and he cares about me. So no, I'm not ok, but maybe I'll pull through it. I guess only time will tell.

    I was at my lowest point 2 years ago. I was severely depressed and couldn't get out of bed, felt like I had no one, and struggled with an eating disorder. Within the past year, I have made so many new friends and started living for myself. I sometimes still struggle with my eating disorder but I try my best to recover. Sometimes I feel like I should go back to my "old life" because it was easier but I always choose not to now because of the pain I felt then. Recovering can be hard, but it will be worth it, I promise. You only get one shot at life and you might as well make it one you love. I want people to know that life is worth living, even if you don't feel like it is. Life needs you.

    a few years ago one of my best friends played this song as we were going to bed. we were laying in the dark, getting in our feels. i knew the song she was playing and i turned to her to tell her. we talked. i asked her how she was and we fell asleep with it on repeat. 2 weeks later when my mom picked me up from school she told me my friend had attempted. it was alarming, i was worried i wanted to see her right away. i'm so glad she made it..she's surviving now. she's actually living these days. and she'll be having a baby in december. everytime i listen to this song, i'm reminded of that moment. the moment i thought i lost my best friend.
    10-11-21 it’s been a wild wild wild ride for my friend….she’s been through so much and i have done everything i know how to be there for her. she’s in the hospital right now…fighting for her life that she tried to take, again. i found myself listening to this song and amazingly saw my comment…things aren’t looking good this time..but i refuse to give up on her.

    I don't want to go just yet but svicidal thoughts keep popping up in my head..even more so lately.. i made a little plan already but I won't die just yet.. I don't really wanna die, I'm just tired or living..
    i am currently happy than I'll ever be.. after over 20yr of suffering repeated traumas since childhood..and I've experienced so many lost be it death of my older sister,my beloved dad, abandoned by my mother and older sister who promised we'd be together always, thus leaving me alone thrown all over the place tryna fend for myself..and all kinds of abuse I've endured..
    at 25, I'm finally able to feel genuinely happy, i learn to draw again ,i started doing whatever i love doing, I'm learning a lot of new things ,i have a really great friend, who is the sole reason I'm even alive.. I'm so glad and happy..but the only thing that kills me is knowing she'd be the one to hurt the most if i were to die, what if she follows my footsteps.. I don't want that..
    I'm so happy with her ,but my mental health starting to deteriorate again..

Each commenter has a story, has stuff going on, has things going on around them. So I’m case your wondering it’s 11:00 at night. I’m sitting in my bed in the dark. I’m on the first floor of my dads townhouse. My dad isn’t home and my little sister is asleep upstairs. And right now I just feel tired .
    edit: hey guys, i wrote this comment about 6 months ago. damn how time flys. at this point i’ve gotten 530 likes on this comment and 40 replies. ive never gotten that many on any comment. so if your still reading or still care what i have to say. i’ll let you know it’s 11:00 at night (again lol) and i’m in my room at my moms house. i’m laying in my bed with the fan on. the door is cracked open and light is spilling into my dark room. my sister is in the next room over. speaking of her she said something that really warmed my heart today. anyway i send you all lots of love through this phone screen

    hi, my name is meg im 15, today is the 28th july 2021. if im reading this again, well done you did it you made it, you broke your promise tho it was supposed to end. right now it is 12.57, you just got a message from him, youre talking about music again obviously. i hope you still know who i mean when i say him. you came here listening to music that makes you numb, not that you need much help with that. youve been staring at your ceiling for 4 hours now waiting for tears but they wont come, you havent cried for a while now, the last time you did it was happy, it was because you didnt want to leave, you wanted to see the rest of your journey. will thought he made you upset so comforted you for the rest of the walk, all the 10k of cliff edge untill you got back.
    you havent felt much recently you think you should feel pain but you dont only frustration, mum has just been diagnosed, its cancer. her surgery is on friday. you know you should feel pain but somehow you dont.
    you are still horse riding but you dont seem to be going anywhhere. youve lost all motivation. you dont even want to see your friends anymore, that hurts. everything is half done, you havent finished anything, you think it could be partly adhd but you arent sure, if youre still around get help for it you do need help dont lie to yourself. youve started eating again its difficult but your doing it, some people know but they arent doing much. he doesnt know abt this sort of thing you think you should tell him, he would help, but its only been a few months. you want to run away somewhere but you know you cant get out of here, you have nowhere to go and no way to get there. you pick up hobbies for about a week then when you cant be amazing at it straight away you give up.
    you are struggling with what you think is gender dysphoria. you pronouns atm are they/she/he, but you are feeling very masc atm, you identify as non-binary but you arent really out. you dont want to be a boy but you want people to be so confused when they first meet you they think 'oh pretty boy' at first but you dont want to be 'handsome' you want to be pretty in the same way boys are. you still want to wear dresses but sometimes you want to wear a suit. and you havent stopped wearing your docs since you got them, they are the best shoes ever honestly i hope you still have then. you pact with the girls is still on. campfire funeral, and a journey to find purpose after.
    you might go surfing with him in the summer if she doesnt get him first, she will but we can always hope. you think you are annoying your friends talking about him, but its the only thing that makes you happy any more, not that you love him or anything, he just gets you, dan has dipped again. you cant remember what its like to be truly happy, but then you cant remember what its like to be sad either. just when it was getting better too, you saw reason for the first time in ages, a purpose. your teachers are leave bc of you new head, no one likes him anymore, he expects too much, and sexualises every party of a girls body.
    thats all i can think of right now. so goodbye you might see this again. hope youre a milf now :) xx

It was really eerie scrolling through the hundreds of comments at 2AM a few days ago when I first found this video. Idk if you can see this but to those who are gone, I'm sorry life got this bad that you thought the only solution was ending it all. I'm proud that you at least made it this far. I don't know you, but I wish you were still here today. To those who are still fighting, I'm so proud that you are still here by my side. I can't be completely certain that everything is going to be ok because I don't have all the answers I'm just a depressed teenager on the internet, but I'll be cheering you on.

    Since there's nothing on the other side, there's nothing to be scared about. I don't know why we humans fear death so much... Shouldn't we be scared of life instead?
    Living is joy but it's pain as well, living means facing what is real while dreaming with what is not. Living can be a walk along the beach with the sea kissing your feet but it can be a nightmare from which you don't know how to wake up.
    I've cried myself to sleep many times and I've loved so much that it felt as if someone was driving a stake through my chest. But I've laughed and I've wished that this life would last forever while looking at the eyes of the ones who love me.
    Living is an act of the brave.

      I know it's hard. To be alone with barely any support. I'm so proud of you for fighting this long. I won't ask you to keep fighting but I hope you know how much your life matters. Not just to those around you but to yourself.
      You might not love yourself right now but I hope one day you'll look at yourself and say I love you.
      I may be a stranger but I'm there if you ever need to vent or just talk.
      I also have discord if you want to do it privately as well.

    Hope ill make it to the future where ill read this and be like poor past me but you're still alive and happy girl! And if not than i guess that i should say good bye fight this world without me ❤

    This reminds me of the nostalgia depression brings. It's like that shadow that you see in the corners of your eyes but choose to ignore until it comes to fill your mind and body with an empty state of longing. Longing for the days to pass slower so you have time to grip your bearings, and other times begging for the days to speed bye so you can have that single, sweet moment of rest until you have to repeat another day over again.
    It's like an old relative coming to visit, one you thought had forgotten you, one you had hoped would forget you, but you know as it envelops you in it's arms and that nostalgic scent you can never quite put your finger on, it's never going to let you go. Loading you with it's baggage and forcing you to house it in a place you called your own.
    Eventually it will leave, but not entirely. It will leave you with it's remnants, so even though you will laugh and smile, when you cross a bridge, when you drive a car, when you face that medicine cabinet every night, you will think "If I died right now I would never have to deal with it. It would be so easy, I could be free from this, I cold die and be free" but you don't. You drive the car, you cross the bridge, you close the cabinet.
    Then, when it comes knocking at your door again, you'll think to yourself "I should've done it. I should have left when I had the chance." and that will be all
    unless you become tired and defeated when your gas tank all but stops.
    you'll jump
    you'll swerve
    you'll OD
    and then..... what then?
    no one knows.

    When I'm depressed I tend to listen to sad songs. Somehow they make me feel less alone.
    It's getting worse for me but I still hope I can cope with it, tho it is really heavy sometimes and makes me wanna just... end it. I already have a suicide attempt behind me and God knows how much hurt it caused to the people I care about. But sometimes this mental pain I feel is so unbearable I don't know how to breathe.
    I can't really talk about my feelings to anyone because I can't describe them, I don't know how. My therapist with every visit prescribes me more doses of medicines that doesn't really change how I feel. I'm still trying. I've gotta try. So do you.

      I don't have the type of family who appreciates my work. I use to build up to their standards only for them to knock me back down. Credit will go to my brother or its not Christian therefore its bad. I've had these ridiculous standards set on me to the point when I stood in the middle of a busy road trying to get run over and the person stopped I broke out and sobs. I'm doing better now. 5 suicide attempts I'm not proud of. The only reason I stopped is cause by this point I was allowed to have youtube and suddenly I could listen to songs that told me how I felt. That spoke to me. Then I meet a person just the same as me and started cheering them on. Made them feel good complimented them with all the compliments I ever needed. I found a community of Christians. I found a community in lgbtq+ everything suddenly changed. And I wasn't alone. Somedays though I think back to the days I was alone. I didn't have friends that cared. I didn't have a girlfriend or a clue I was lesbian. I didn't know God. And all I can think of is the time I tried to get run over by a car. Every person who understood cared so much. My first suicide attempt they walked me home and told me what to do when you have a panic attack. The second explained depression. The third told me to be safe. The fourth told me to take time for myself. The fifth.. was myself. Suddenly after I had slipped out of the rope I ran to the bathroom terrified of myself. And I stood there looking at the mirror till I could explain everything I thought was good or good enough about myself. Be kind to yourself. Take time to take care of yourself. Don't let anyone tell you your not worth it. And make sure to take deep breaths. The pain one day will get better okay. I promise. Don't lose it all..

    it feels better to be hurting
    than to feel nothing.
    it feels better to see
    even if it is blurred
    even if your view is just a construction site
    it is better than eternal blindness.
    and just because glasses can't clear your sight in this life
    doesnt mean you need to keep your eyes closed,
    and It doesn't mean you must blind them.
    cherish what you have.
    making your self hurt more
    will not fix the pain you feel.
    you!
    no matter how it frustrates you.
    try to see through the unbearable light.
    and know that just because it appears.
    those whom see more sharply may just be good lairs.
    and the irrationality of your jealousy for those whom can hide.
    it is normal.
    we all want what isn't ours.
    people love you...
    and if you
    can't try keep your last bits of vision for yourself
    keep it for the ones around you.
    people love you
    and for you though it does not seem as they do,
    even if they seem to be just another person walking threw your short life like a train station
    know not everyone has a destination.
    and you may be the one to guide
    your more than something people walk by
    your the reason some are keeping their sight as well
    your the reason some never got dropped off at the wrong place and lost their try in this life
    your a memory some may look back on when they fight demons at night
    even if all you did was smile at them in a store
    or a cringey sad comment like this on a video
    your a life that people fear to lose
    and your part of the reason some choose to keep their sight aswell
    I don't know how far you the mer reader of this have fell
    but know this is written by me to make sure when you die you will be aware of those you helped
    even if they didn't tell you
    even if you never felt it had mattered
    I bet you cant think of a small action from a stranger that helped you.
    mabye a person complimenting you in a cafe
    a little kid smiling at you.
    know you may have been that little kid to someone
    and someday you may be the old person who complents you in that store
    and even if that only helped one person
    that's what were all living this painful life for
    _______________________________
    this is just some thrown together shit I wrote at midnight but I hope it may help someone else stick around a bit longer.

      The explanation for this has always been very interesting to me. When your brain senses that you are in deep anguish and emotional pain, but is unable to detect any physical cause for it, it sends signals for your body to enter fight of flight mode. The pain in your chest during episodes of great sorrow is caused by a mix of chemicals and an increased heart rate because your brain believes that you are in extreme danger. This reaction is your brain's blind and desperate attempt to get you away from whatever is causing such an intense adverse reaction. The human mind is truly something incredible.

    Life is an uphill battle with no roadmap. You’ll fall, you’ll lose your way, you’ll face obstacles, and most of all you’ll face yourself. But once you’re up that hill, and all the memories are made , places having been traveled , love won and lost, and even the challenges along the way. Looking back at it all , what a view it’ll be.
    So keep going, even if it’s just day by day, week by week. It’ll be worth it in the end. God bless all of you
