10 reasons to stay alive

if you're looking for a reason to stay alive, you're doing a really good job so far ❤️ keep going
hi, i am joey and you and me are a lot more similar than you may care to believe. we both sometimes we feel lost, lonely, loved, unloved, happy and sad at the same time or absolutely nothing at all. I get that, so let's talk about it.

[@soh0r6]

my dad told me, its a gift that i feel how i feel, im a very emotional person who holds onto emotions and feels them intensly now or later on. he made me realise that this is a gift and now when i have those feelings im greatful that i can refeel things because it reminds me im human, i make mistakes, i fail, but i have alot to improve on, id rsther feel intensely than be cold and shake things off

[@joeykidney]

our dad's have so much wisdom but we just call them to help fix things, but never to help fix ourselves. Dad's are just always there and they are holding out on this gem of advice

[@hugetird]

I don’t do this at all, I don’t comment on videos. But lately I’ve been having a real hard time, gone through heartbreak, I’ve learnt a lot about myself, my patterns and my behaviours. Faced a lot of regrets too. During that time I started an apprenticeship, I thought it was all coming together. But now I realised I’m not happy, this job doesn’t make me happy it doesn’t fulfil me, I feel like a total failure in love and life and I just turned 29 today. I have great friends and a supportive family and a great therapist but I can’t help but feel something is missing, at the end of the day I know the responsibility falls on me for change. There are many reasons to stay alive but the thought of pushing through and repeating the same mistakes and patterns that I can’t seem to break is often too much. I’m at a cross roads. I’m burnt out and I don’t know what to do anymore. Friends and family are what’s keeping me alive right now, it’s made me realise that money, a stable job or relationship means nothing if you can’t love and tend to yourself. I needed to hear this today, and I hope for better days and changes ahead. Peace be with you all who are struggling too.

[@yanirahahn2311]

You just saved me from myself today. Having a really rough time mentally and feeling all of the spectrum of emotion and disappointment mostly. Thank you for being there when there is no one else.

[@joeykidney]

i am happy you are here

[@sigmundedland1110]

The last one helps. Thank you

[@virtuallygabs]

when you said, “it’s time for you to understand yours.” wow thank you, joey.

[@lillythebrownie]

i haven't left my bed in 3 days now. got a mental breakdown, i'm tired, i didn't eat anything today. and then this video comes along. i'm still laying in bed, but bursting out in tears now.. thank you for reminding us that we kinda have a reason to be here, even if we didn't figure out yet which reason it is ❤

[@rahulbodhyd2710]

Heyy .. just wishing you a good life ahead with lots of happiness.. may you come out from your suffering.. good luck ❤️

Im going through a heartbreak and im feeling alone and not being good enough... and listening to you talking just helps me... I think you understand it❤

[@yoonheedo]

you kinda added more days to my life..i wasn't really sure how long i could bear it all but after watching your video, all my reasons seem so insignificant because i feel that there is someone out there who's feeling the same but still choosing to live on..and that is so brave of you joey! this video really helped me change my perspective of seeing the negativity as and im thankful to you for that

[@IsaacKingsExperiences-ug8nl]

struggling with my mental health right now and it doesn't help that my grandma has just died aswell, but this video has changed my train of thought to a more postitive side of myself i didnt even know, thank you so much for this

[@mayra9280]

Joey, I can’t even begin to explain how much I understand everything you said. I am here because I want to keep trying, because life is so beyond what I feel and see in the present moment. For a long time I didn’t want to be here that is a truth, but I’ve come to realice that there’s time. Today I may not be feeling my best but tomorrow can change. And one day you wake and feel this new air inside you and there it is. It changed. Thank you❤all the way from Argentina.

[@joeykidney]

love back from canada!

[@jeremiahw5200]

Literally crying my eyes out. It's been so hard lately. Thank you for reminding me that I DO want to live. I don't know why I do, but maybe I will find out

[@Skibetitolietisinyourehouse]

​@@joeykidney you are so kind ❤😊 thanks for the message

[@xXAtoZgamingXx]

I’ve only found your channel recently, but I feel it’s already helped me so much. I haven’t lived a live devoid of suffering, but I’ve learned that doesn’t necessarily make it any easier. I can’t tell why, but your videos have connected to me in ways that I didn’t know I needed. I’m going through a rough end to a relationship right now, and I’ve really struggled with picking myself back up at times. I know for sure that I mean this for so many more people than just myself, but thank you. Truly thank you for the content you make, and for sharing your passions in the way that you do. I hope you one day feel as supported as you help so many others to feel. ❤

[@jumpingrabitinthesand1961]

Hey Joey, I have been watching your videos for years now if not from the beginning, and I have to say I love them all. You have meant so much for a lot of people including myself. We all love you!

[@joeykidney]

i really appreciate you being here for so long!

[@tessatoller805]

I remember watching one of your videos when I was a teenager, and I remember you helped me hang on, feeling like I wasn’t alone out. Thank you❤

[@bhavanavijayan3839]

I've been struggling for some time. this isn't the first time but no matter how many times you go through it, it's never easier. it's so easier to let go but i keep getting these thoughts that then what's the point of all that i went through, what's the point of all that i survived if i just give up now. this feels like a safe place, somewhere you don't have to pretend. thank you so much joey. you've helped me through a lot.

[@leaptrc]

Just Wow. This video really touched me. I wonder what made you put so much thought into these aspects, and I hope you all are all right🤍 appreciate you!

[@meikepostma9980]

this came on my feed, i really needed this. this is beautiful

[@NZC4454]

Thanks for being there for us who have lost all purpose of life. It’s really tough to convince the mind when death seems to easier than being alive.

[@AwValid1]

Thank you for being a help to everyone

[@joeykidney]

I owe thanks to you for being here

[@kaley1368]

Thank you Joey! I needed this so much! You are loved! ❤

I’m glad you’re here too! and thank you for being a big reminder to stay since I was young! 💛

[@AceGeek]

thank you, i needed this.. love you man..

[@jocelynwilson6500]

I feel this so much. No one would miss me, how long would it even take for people to realize I'm gone, my only purpose sometimes is being a burden to others, and the list goes on. Always a thousand different voices in my head speaking at once and on and on

[@nerissa1428]

Thank you so much, it didn't stop hurting but feels better

[@RAEONYY]

Thank you i needed this yesterday i almost did it thank you so much i was hurt for reasons i couldnt explain and i wouldnt forgive myself still its really a relatable video

[@infinity_sh4816]

thank you so much for this joey, i apperciate it

[@ellaluvsusm]

thank you so much, this left me in tears

[@DIVINGSTRONGER]

Thank you for your honesty when there’s a world that that really exist feel like people just say things that they think sound good at the time but there’s no merit behind it. I don’t have any friends I don’t have any family I had a family and they all turned their back on me and I was never allowed to have friends so yeah Right now, just trying to maintain through my illness but I’m not gonna lie and say that beating cancer and all that entails would be so much easier if I did have friends and if I did have my family standing by my side but I don’t, that’s my reality. I have to deal with that. I can’t look for an easy way out because that’s not me, but in the same breath so tiredI’m really tired tired of clogging through the mud etc so thank you for this

[@crazysingerr]

Thanks you really made me feel ok, I really appreciate your video. Thanks for making me not feel alone,, I truly felt it when you told I am not alone. Thanks❤️

[@oscarmorris07]

It seems I watch this video bi-weekly at this point. I have exams tight around the corner, and it just piles on top of the stress, and i just don't feel like i can keep going. Every time i watch this video, it never fails to make me cry. Not with sadness, but not with happiness. I just cry. I let everything out, all the sadness, happiness, and everything in between. Thank you so much, joey. I mean that. Thank you.

[@joyfulmotivation2592]

Everything I needed today. You save lives, know that ❤

[@helgalinuxen9497]

Realizing that we all came up searching for this cause nobody in the people around us would actually tell us these things and give us support and motivation to live on.

[@ytam237]

You saved my life cos i was in a time of need where i lost my self confidence

[@emilycorn-iq8bf]

Your videos helped me in my dark times. Made me feel about myself so thanks for making videos like this. It seems important to stop and listen to you most days.

[@joeykidney]

I'm so glad!

[@MsBellsyboo]

I’m really struggling but I will keep rewatching this. Even when I get help I always spiral back down. I have more bad times than good and really struggle with living. I’m so lost

[@the_oneandonly.anna-]

joey these help me. i’m only 13 and i’ve attempted once, and it failed. i’m going down that same track but this time with help of therapy. it’s helped some but since i’m in highschool with highschool classes, gpa, etc., it’s messed me up a bit. and my bf who i thought would be here for me, isn’t. i’ve considered trying again, but haven’t. thank you

[@formallynick3002]

you helped me alot, I was planning to. I cannot thank you enough joey

[@aabidakhan3657]

It was needed but sometimes u really don’t want to exists as you think you are not meant to be in this world. No one understands you and you cant even share coz u r afraid of being judged. Sometimes feeling like if we could not be understand by anyone then why are we even here and thinking is it necessary to be like everyone . Different is Special . Thank you for this.

[@WoolooWuver]

thank you. thank you so much. i was feeling lonely. you saved my life.

[@nyajomdirchi7187]

The 3rd one is very relatable. I never acknowledge anyone to help me when I need it. This made me realize how stupid I am, they are there but I just don't seek help.

Thank you for your kind words... For me everything is tiring, everything seems to be lighter if I'm gone.... I just wanna rest forever..

I question my existence and its purpose everyday, and it’s becoming harder and harder for me to live with. Not knowing why we’re here or if we’re here for any reason at all is just too scary to deal with and it’s affecting my mental health greatly.

[@PeaceRose96]

joey …holy shit. i needed this one tonight and you really got me thinking by the end. in all my years of wishing i wasn’t here as a teenager to now being 27..i never thought of it that way. that’s actually mind blowing and i can’t thank you enough.
