Thank you to everyone who has supported our campaign along the way. Our awareness videos will not stop. We will continue uploading people's stories and messages of support over the coming weeks.
I am 38 years old. Almost 99% of this message is me. Unless you have been here. You don't know. It's a lonely and sad place.
+eric hall I believe that you must live within a community in order to fight and win this battle, because if you are alone, you are mostly vulnerable to the negative and self-destructive ideas, which as a result you lose. I don't think i fully went through this depression, but partially. but my brother is going through that and i have ran out of words of encouragement and he is overseas. i would like some advise.
+Choche Saune You caught my eye. I'm sure you've taught him about hope, what about courage? Is there a war going on where he is? Can he get out of the service? I'm on the last leg of my depression and I've had to be melodramatic to get others attention. Sometimes when we're depressed we try to bottle it up and not show our problem. Maybe he could let how he feels show and even go overboard with it and even threaten suicide maybe he could get sent home. This would take courage to feel so vunerable. I've been allowed the luxury of being able to put my responsibilities on the back burner while working on myself. People need that when going through a crisis. It's easier said than done but maybe he could off his responsibilities. No one can MAKE him do anything. Really, what would be the penalty in giving up and saying I need help, I can't go on. I'm not from a military family so I hope I don't sound too naive but sometimes you have to give it all up no matter what the position in life in order to save yourself. Also, what negative and self destructive ideas are you talking about. Write me back I want to know what you think. I'm sure you're feeling helpless. P.S. Does he have any sense of spirituality? With that humanitarian love from one human to you and your brother. (Maybe google NAMI for help).
Greg Rhodes
thank you for your words. he is actually living in Germany and not serving in the military. by negative thoughts i meant, feeling worthless of himself, not able to accomplish anything, less valued, lack of self-esteem, regrets a lot of the bad choices he made in the past, etc. One thing that keeps triggering him is the lack of sleep -insomnia. My main and strongly rooted aid is the Bible and Jesus, himself. i was giving him a hope and encouragement trough prayers and being there for him every single time he needs someone. Apparently he is improving his actual state of health, but he is still struggling with insomnia.
The holy spirit heals, Jesus forgives and Buddha is a great psychologist. For insomnia look @ how different cultures deal with this.
Greg Rhodes
that is right oh and HE forgives and loves and saves :) and only God can forgive which means He is God. well thank you a lot my friend. i will absolutely check that out.
The hardest thing about depression is thinking nobody else gets it and your alone feeling like this forever. I'm glad I watched that
the hardest thing for me is knowing there's no solution.
Anthony Owiny Ive been there. I finally went and had my hormone levels tested. I had Low Testosterone and getting this corrected made a substantial difference in how I feel. It seems the medical establishment is always throwing another anyi depressant at you and none work, at least for me. I had to self diagnose and since then I have passed this on to many friends who felt the same. Most of them also had low T and after getting it corrected they feel great also. Get this done, the docs always seem to push back but fight through it until you can at least rule having a hormone imbalance out--for me if was truly a life changer. Many docs have no idea just how much of an impact low T has. Age doesn't matter, you can have very low levels even in your 20's. Good Luck-dont wait, get it done, this just might be a life saver for you. Please follow through for your and your family sake....
Franchiseme62OhK reach out, please do. I wish I did when I was 13 and beating myself front the abuse I was taking. I tried killing myself, swallowed 8 xanax and laid there and work up. Get help, please. It's worth it!!
To anyone out there dealing with depression just remember you're never alone no matter how hard it gets! I also have a vlog on my channel about my depression and tips on how i overcome it daily. Would love for everyone to check it out please I really wanna help as many people as I can! Stay strong
The hardest part about depression is everyone thinking its some kind of joke and that you are just sensitive. Its also knowing and feeling no one cares about you.
Problem is that when you are in the grip of true depression no amount of motivational videos or support will get through to you, it's such a horrible horrible decease..
+Chris Nichols Usually what leads to severe depression in men are things that you can not change or are difficult to change that society (specifically women) deem as "unwanted" in men. Such as height, financial situations etc.
True
+Chris Nichols i think u are right.. my depression not removed in this vid... omg.. i think i will gonna die.. help me...
+Drim Caster Yo mr dont off yourself, to be alive is a great thing, i think about death all time but i never ever will go through with it because people die all the time and they dont have a choice but we do, so make the right one dude and keep going. r.i.p paul walker, david bowie and alan rickman
Disease*
"What's the point? I'm not getting anywhere in life" the past 3+ years of my life...
if you feel like that, then change that, work for you future, work for your wellbeing.
if you are stuck in a dead end job then change that, go after your lifegoal accomplish what you want to accomplish. this isnt how your life will always look like, this depression is a warning, a sign to change your life and do what you have got to do, what you have been born for.
chase your dreams!
+Demonio try twelve years
***** school, friends, family you name it..
+yoshivh1 clinical depression is basically a chemical imbalance in the brain. It's an actual disease. You can't tell a clinically depressed person to just move on or change their job or whatever. No matter how perfect their lives are, they will always feel that way. Your brain tells you to feel that way. You have no control over it.
Amna Ameen oh okay, well I have a situational depression (second already) and that works with me so I wanted to share that with the world.
And Im not telling them just to move on or whatever you are implying I said, what I am saying is: do what makes you happy.
You feel useless? Help homeless people, you might enjoy it and feel like you are doing something good. It might not cure your depression, but it will make it easier to cope with it
I have anxiety and mild depression. People think I'm just a normal girl and when I try to tell my friends they just say " you don't have that." They don't know what it's like to be stressed and scared to be near people even if their your friends. They don't know what it's like to be afraid to leave the house, to go to school, or go to sleep. For everyone suffering from anxiety and depression I feel for you. I know your pain
Same here 😢
I too feel you sister 😔
Thank you dear. We feel you too. It is really hopeless. It is toooo scary..
To anyone out there dealing with depression just remember you're never alone no matter how hard it gets! I also have a vlog on my channel about my depression and tips on how i overcome it daily. Would love for everyone to check it out please I really wanna help as many people as I can! Stay strong

I have been dealing with depression since high school and it is haunting its way into my life in college. Depression is a life long battle that not many can understand.
Yes, for many it is a life long Been with me for over ten years. Theres been ups and lots of down. A person suffering has got strengthen will and find focus, learn to be mindful of negative thoughts and ensure good affirmations and gratitude is being given to ones self every day. Do best to be resilient.
@@cripticadventures These souls, who are the most deeply in the lies, shall have the most powerful testimony's.
Every one, EVERY ONE is called to repentance, to born again, to count the cost of becoming CHRISTIAN.
For we all are HUMAN BEINGS and sinned and fallen short in the glory of GOD, therefore to us all a way to SALVATION is given, THROUGH CHRIST goes the only way, WHICH IS NARROW not wide.
"people are uncomfortable speaking about this" - that`s because they SIN that bad.
And if truth hurts us that bad, we then better pray, that we never gonna know nor understand how badly sick and evil we have become all these 3 times:
- before the flood,
- before the burn up city,
- now, before the fire.
Souls, time to stop using all these emojis and hand signs, for all these origin from masonry and do so in both places: online and offline.
Anxiety and depression is like a demon raring down everything that makes you happy and that's why it's so hard to overcome but just keep blevins in your self trust me I know it's hard I have really bad anxiety but you can do it because your never alone and I belive in anyone going through this and I belive that one day we can overcome
"Fighting it is the hardest part.!" 💯
So sad... i flipped the phone for a while and just listened to the video and i felt it like my reflection in the mirror was talking to me
You are not alone. I understand you. I feel those too.
There's no question this video has touched many lives. Thank you for sharing....
I m 23 n suffering from depression n anxiety for 3 years i dont remember how i was before this.
I m just lost scared stuck but the most painful thing is that...
No one understands!
I just want peace its my biggest dream to just being normal
my own brother once said to me "youre not crazy, you can still think straight, you can still make rational decisions so stop being so depressed. stop the drama!" that one line wrecked me. triggered every ounce of anger inside of me. i would trade my depression for cancer. this mental hell sucks
“I haven’t been myself for ages...and no one noticed”
I feel everything what you've decribed. Trying to pull myself up from this misery.
I got diagnosed with major depression and anxiety. I get scared to go out sometimes I've missed my friends birthdays my family's because I would stay in my room crying. Crying on endless hours wishing I would just die. I had endless thoughts of suicide. I just told my mom everything. We went to a psychiatrist and she gave me Zoloft and it honestly saved my life. From suicide. Please get help. There are days where I do feel lonely but I write it down to help me. Remember stay strong and get help.
Here is an example of how to turn to the lord for salvation. It doesn't have to be exactly like this. Just speak to God from your heart and accept him. Heavenly Father, have mercy on me, a sinner. I believe in you and that your word is true. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God and that he died on the cross so that I may now have forgiveness for my sins and eternal life. I know that without you in my heart my life is meaningless. I believe in my heart that you, Lord God, raised Him from the dead. Please Jesus forgive me, for every sin I have ever committed or done in my heart, please Lord Jesus forgive me and come into my heart as my personal Lord and Savior today. I need you to be my Father and my friend. I give you my life and ask you to take full control from this moment on; I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ."
Amen. He stands at the door and knocks, if anyone hears his voice and opens the door, he will place his Holy Spirit inside them!
Hello. Thank you for the message. How are you doing?
Depression and anxiety came in stages for me, ever since I was a young teen I struggled, but it gradually got worse and worse, right up until I was 18, then I stayed stagnant and miserable for a long time, finally came out of it when I was 22, I’m 23 now and starting to struggle again!
I’ve had a glimpse of happiness, and I’m certain I can bring myself back to that, and go beyond it!
Thank you so much for this video man! I'm stuggling with depression right now and this video made me realize that I'm not alone. God bless you and keep you!
I am struggling with depression too and I can't anymore. I cry every night, and I don't wanna die I just wanna to get relief. I just don't wanna feel sad all the Time. 😓
I've been depressed for most of my life, I lost control of myself at an early age, but I quickly recovered once I graduated high school. I'm currently 32 years old. I'm hoping one day things will get better and my life will have meaning. But for the meanwhile, I try not to lose myself in the process.
Depression is very isolating, lonely and sucks the life out of you. But it can be treated and it’s important that we talk about it and get help! Good video, thanks for sharing your story.
I know every feeling in that video is just how I am feeling 24/7 & it's my biggest challenge battling anxiety, hate the public as I seem to get panicky, food makes me sickly sometimes, sleepless nights... fighting this is hard. Nobody seems to understand100% the feeling & I do find it hard to talk to anyone about it but nothing seems to help to talk to someone who isn't going through it. This video really inspired me. Worth my like. Sending love.
This always makes me cry , but the sadness is I have to keep it all to myself
I started to cry when he talked about seeing his mother cry, it made me remember seeing my mom break down, crying uncontrollably telling me how afraid she was and how she didn't know how to help me... The worst part about depression is how much it hurts the people around you.
I don't know why but in the middle of the video I start cryin...maybe because I suffer depression, maybe because of empathy, maybe because of humanity. stay strong everybody if in this kind of pain.
This is all so relatable for me but I'm really scared to ask my parents for help or reach out to someone about it.
+Ameera Chaudhry Ask parents for help. Its one of your best bets, it could really help you okay. Trust me, I did it and it helped.
That’s so me. My parents would never leave me alone, and no one would look at me the same. Not that that matters because i have social anxiety, i get weird looks everywhere i go and i just look at the floor every day.
i am also facing depression its too hard :( its too painful
31 dec 2014 was the last time i smiled i remeberd till now the tears cant stop shutting down from my eyes... its been 5 years im in extreme level of depression sometimes i took drugs to overcome but i was wrong now iam at worst stage... its like a long dark night in which iam losted for ages and i want a light to guide me the way but my mind constant suicide thoughts and attempts doesnt let me live... i want to die...
Exercise and lifting weights really help believe me I'm overcome
2017 will be a year I will never forget. It served as my depression year.
This is honestly inspiring. I am so proud of you Andrew for sharing your story because it isn't an easy thing to do.
Buddy i had a deep depression for 6 years but now i changed from one Who is nothing to a hero after psychological and Behavioral therapy. I apperciate to help others and a positive resource for people Who are around me.
I can relate with Andrew. People were saying I just want sympathy from others when in truth, I was already having anxiety and depression, just undiagnosed until I decided to see a psychiatrist.
I'm that sensitive person. I feel I'm weak and tired. Everyday I wake up and just wanna die. I've had good days but it feels like few happy moments. The difficult and the sad ones definitely overshadows the good ones. 🥺😭😭😭😭😭
amazing thank you and as for me im fighting depression feeling alone and have two toddlers on top of it an i love them dearly and knowing i have them in my life it makes me fight 10 times as hard to get over this issue ......thanks
Life is hard.. and sometimes you might think to end life..
I started my depression routine again
same here
thank you. just thank you.
Thank you for sharing very deep and true. Yiur brave and inspiration 👍 😊
i feel this everyday
Thank you Andew. God loves you. We are his children. He loves us. I am very depressed u r helping me to hang on. God bless you. Warm hugs.
Thank you for your share!
Thank you . I needed this
OMG I just want to hug you until all the pain goes away!!
Don't forget y'all are loved and cared for deeply you will make it through the bad times and you will have a good life you deserve better then to hurt yourself you need to talk to a family member you trust or a close friend y'all will make it through and everyone will be proud of you
this relates to me, it is so hard living with depression and anxiety I just wish it will fade away. Nice sharing your experience atleast im not alone in this...
I may feel depressed from time to time, but this is so emotional like i tend to think how people have it worst than me and it ends up being true, when i try to tell someone how i feel i would sound like a kid whos going through that “phase” or like a brat who just wants attention, but maybe i am, i really wouldn’t feel this good as i do, i still suffer/feel sad but the reason im not depressed right now is because of my bestfriend, she isnt very supportive but shes close enough to atleast try, and hang out with me
God, I started crying in the middle of the vid, too. Its just so sad. I don't even know how to explain. I have depression right now.and ive changed alot. i honestly know what he felt
I understand your pain and I have anxiety attacks every since 2015 due to a heart condition
I'm affected by anxiety and depression since I was 12.I still recall the night I was hit by that.i"m now 27 year-old and still struggling and doing my best to control my self as anxiety turned out into psychosomatic affecting my body.however,I still want to live and have good life.Sorry for bad english
+mokhtar jamali I had it since I was 11 but its been 10xs difficult this past year...so many thoughts, so many issues in life, so much stuff going on. I am 16 in the 11th grade and my family does not know...I gave a speech in my public speaking class and mentioned it for the first time ever but only one is talking with me because she suffers from it too. life is hard.

stay strong brother!
I was diagnosed with major depressive disorder and Anxiety, and this is so relatable.
FangirlFandoms how you overcome
Thank you for sharing your experience fighting depression and anxiety. Most people that has never experienced it have no idea what one goes through because it is something that cannot be seen. I have PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) which includes depression and anxiety.
I want to be like you and overcome it. Unfortunately I have been in cognitive therapy and drug therapy for a long time...nothing works. I sometimes feel so badly I do not want to do anything and I feel physically ill. My parents do not understand and my friends are gradually becoming strangers. I hurt everyday and the only hope I have is either in the experimental stage or illegal. My doctor says it will get worse as I grow older and there is nothing more they can do.
At least your story gives me some encouragement, thank you.
Wonderful video! This makes me feel good. We are not alone
💚 Love to all and any that are struggling right now...... YOUVE GOT THIS!! Dont give up. Be strong. Find focus. Be mindful. I believe in you. 💚
you are AMAZING just by talking. Such an inspiration :)
This was tough to watch brother. Keep your head up!!!!
i feel it everyday mate, all the best!
Family especially are why l am severely depressed and anxious. Whew!!!!!! So sad.
True my childhood was rape n beat I never rlly had a childhood am now 18 my birth mum doesn't know me well my dad ran away from me n never came back idk wat happened to him recently my foster mum died from covid
@@ryantaylor841
Take care of yourself Ryan. At 18 years of age know that the Universe will provide you with good people who will and can sustain you in the absence of family of origin. I heard that years ago and it stayed with me. You will have to become a people person and seek them out. You can always be my brother from another mother. I like that phrase. Thinking of you from Mary.
i know that feeling im going through it right now
Im 19 yrs old and 100% of the message happens to me..its reallt hard to experience this type of disorder.Its lonely like you are in a very very dark amd quiet place
I have been alone with depression for 12 years now. Nobody ever listens. So many people try to understand but none do.
oh my god
this is me
this is sooo me
except for the hapoy ending ofcourse cuz i'm still going through it ...
I'm 16 and 100% of this story is me...I can't fight it..
you are so young this will get better I am so glad you got help. I wish I got help in my teens and not find out about mental illness in my late forties...my marriage would have lasted and would have been a better mother.
Iv got the same thing, I'm here for you bro
everything he said i experienced all of it but i didnt know that i was suffering in depression . i know now why i have no life i always blaming myself in everything that i did before and blaming myself of my mistakes and i let myself to feel like punching in this world and i just discovered that im strong because even though im depressed im still fighting and even that suicide thing im fighting it to not commit that thing till now i know i was suffering in this depression cos all i was thinking is life death only . :( i know we re getting better soon just hang on. just let the river takes you in this beautiful side of life.
only time is the healer. stay strong it passes.
I am 49 years old, and my anxiety and depression have been getting worse by the year. I feel alone and like there is no way out.
that gave me the feels....
I relate to this more than anything ever and I'm 17
Severe depression is the worst thing you can experience, it’s truly hideous and you can feel panicky with how low you feel at times
I am suffering with depression too glad I found this video this is very inspiring. I'm unattractive, boys r just playing with me, I have no one even my family can't understand, friends only need me when they need something from me I'm literally alone. I have no self confidence because they said that I'm fat, nobody understand what I've been through, I did self harm and I look like a waste, I always cry myself to sleep.
You are NOT unattractive. Don't ever say that about yourself. Who can judge beauty but God?! What matters is not what other say, but how you feel about you. Hang in there and never give up. You are NOT alone...there are so many of us who suffer. I'm one. Reading this brings me down...know you are loved. Head up girl....
Samra Softic thank you so much girl! I appreciate ur reply very much.
Just keep your head up. That's all that matters to me
Samra Softic from now on I will, thank you for lifting me up, knowing that someone cares for others means so much to me.
:) message me if u ever need to talk...
I understand every word
No matter what i try cant stop this depresion or whatever i have.
omg i cried because this so my story too
I'm 20 years old and I'm suffering from anxiety and depression and its getting really hard because my family are making me feel guilty for not getting a job I cant get because of my anxiety, I fucked up my chance to got to university because of my anxiety also and I'm trapped and have no idea what to do with my life, I'm just focusing on streaming video games which actually makes me happy and keeps me busy. I cant go outside without my heart rate raising but thank god for music which keeps me in my own little world but it only helps a bit. my life has been a total fuck up but there's no way I'm ending my life. I just got to improvise and suffer through it.
My family and friends stopped really caring a long time ago.
everything he said i experienced all of it but i didnt know that i was suffering in depression . i know now why i have no life i always blaming myself in everything that i did before and blaming myself of my mistakes and i let myself to feel like punching in this world and i just discovered that im strong because even though im depressed im still fighting and even that suicide thing im fighting it to not commit that thing till now i know i was suffering in this depression cos all i was thinking is life death only . :( i know we re getting better soon just hang on. just let the river takes you to the beautiful side of life.

ya right I went and asked my friend for help and she stopped talking to me. I was there for her but she isn't there for me
Viv H It is the worst when a friend turns their back on you!
We are all here for you
Hope you are doing ok man. You remind me of a younger me.
I have had depression since i was 13 and i'm now 16 but i still have it.
I find myself extremely lonely but dont want to talk to anyone. This is the hardest shit I've ever had to go through. I know if I just expose myself to social situations itll get better, but it's so hard to get the wheels turning... it fucking sucks
Sounds like you are describing me; only i have been dealing with this nearly daily since April 2012. I am dealing with four deaths. One is watching my dad die in front of me. My body has fallen apart and therefore my career dream and income has ended. Am physically alone 90 to 95 % of the time, here in Lonely town of Phoenix. Yet, despite the pain and more, I have somehow acquired 21 years clean and sober. Keep telling myself that there isn't enough alcohol to kill the pain. I am looking for another counselor and trying desperately to get a support system before the dangerous holidays. I have gotten angry enough to keep on fighting. Being that i have 16 medical/emotional conditions and there is no cure for four of them; i know that it is just a matter of time before i join my dad and other loved ones in a much better place. Yes, i do make my own videos and i am thinking about one where i totally open the curtain. However a part of me is saying, what is the point? I have tried to ask for help at the one place that is my support system, here on line, an i feel like i am being ignored. I have 65 pounds due to stress and my sleeping hours are all screwed up. I do have the crises hotline if needed and i don't own a gun on purpose.
Stray strong brother do what you can from where you are, with what you got
That moment when you've been binge watching inspirational videos and all about depression and anxiety and anorexia for years but it does no good...you're still numb and distant and you just feel so fucking alone...when your parents say you're a failure and that you ruined their lives...when you tried to get help but they just laugh at you so you say "what's the bloody point?nobody understands" that moment when you realise no one will help you...that you're completely on your own....that moment when you're done with everything.... people with depression don't want to kill themselves bcoz they just want to die...suicide is just a way to get all the pain to stop...no...we don't want attention... all we want is help...please tell me I'm not the only one...
cried hearing the first sentence God i hate depression and this is so relatable
Just letting u know that he is much better now :) he's really happy and nice
I'm not myself anymore.... I have nobody.. I constantly feel like I'm useless to everyone and everything...
I just wish this guilt trip would end already. I just need to end my life...
I also fell so alone and I am bored with my life. Sometimes I think that I am so unlucky boy no one matters how I am. I want to sleep until and unless I feel ok
I hate my life I will no longer be hear tomorrow or never..
a message of love for depressed people. you all are very special and loved dearly by God , he understands how you are feeling and he will help you if you ask him to. you all are wonderful people and are cared about very much. I pray with all my heart that you will get the help that you need and you will be well soon, I will do that especially for you. you all are so very special and you matter very much. God bless you all with the love of God
I know how you feel. YOU ARE NOT ALONE !
I can u understand your feelings.. Im also suffering this horrible disease... But im not able to tell my family
well today i was checking my youtube history...and somehow each day ended with like 10 videos about depression but always started with videos of pranks and youtubers.
its hard to imagine a day when i will not feel this sad or empty because i feel like sad is what defines me.
i wish i was an inspiration to people and could talk about my depression in past tense
i just wish that somehow i can stop myself from being this person who fails to see the beauty in herself
i know i will survive but it all just feels too real to ever disappear.
I'm 54 and throughout my life, roughly about every 5 to 8 years I get a feeling, I can't call it depression or anxiety as I've never been diagnosed, of doom, of my life coming to a end, what's the point in doing anything, a fascination with death and suicide.
In a foreign country, unemployed because I got sectioned for 2 days and telling my boss of my suicidal thoughts, I thought we were meant to talk about it.
I don't think I will ever work again.
Not everyone has someome to go to. Some of them curl up and hug themselves to sleep before it gets bad again
Im now diagnosed with depression and anxiety but before that it was so hard cause my family thought I was overreacting when I had panic attacks over visiting relatives and going places. No one around me has ever understood my suffering and that made it all feel hopeless and I really thought of ways killing myself. But I suffered eating disorders to, overeating, binging, purging and im so afraid that the anti depressants while make me gain weight. I cant do anything without gettin anxiety, even if it something fun.
Hi there Nicolas! First, I wanted to thank you for releasing this - it's very hard to put yourself out emotionally like this and I'd like to offer my full support (even if it's two years too late). I wanted to ask if you'd be willing to contact me - I'm writing a play on depression and am seeking as many stories as possible. Thank you!
I feel so alone and this video is how my life right know is going on I need someone who understands because I cant anymore please I don't know what to do
dont worry it will be okay, its horrible but you are stronger than you think! hope your okay xx
+Brittany Phillips Hey. You're not alone, you're needed. People love you, I'm sure. You don't have to give up, you have a choice. You can go see the world if you want, enjoy the beatuy of nature, enjoy the beauty of life and enjoy the moment. Don't listen to what the others say. I've been there, I've sat and thought "who would miss me?". I was at the point where I planned it. I almost did it because of what other people did to me. I was the kid Andrew describes. I share the moments he describes. I have felt the pain, I felt the loneliness. I'm crying as I write this, because I am reliving all of the emotions I've been through.
Today. I am an open person with a few close friends and lots of other people who like me and my company, who look forward to seeing me, people who tell me that they like me, and want my friendship. I have self esteem now, I believe in myself, I think that I am worth something. I completely changed the way I was and the way I perceived myself, I changed the way I approach things, I changed my mindset. The people around me have helped me change that. My friends and family have helped me a lot of the way, but the person who helped me the most? Is myself. You need to start believing in yourself or else other people can't believe in you.
If you feel the need, you can add me somewhere or send me a message or an email. I'm the kind of person who knows what it's like to feel the things you do, not exactly how you feel but I can relate.
You're missed. I don't know if this will help, but it helped me and some people I know. It's a video of someone who didn't make it and the reactions his loved ones have had. watch?v=J3CwdQDWqn4
I hope you make it.
