What is the best way you have found to help someone going through depression?

[@SoAnthony]

currently nothing but my anti-depressants made me feel like a zombie so i stopped taking them

[@lllStayHigh]

Listening.. nothing more, nothing less.

[@guillermo_pastrana]

Just care

[@garymyerscough920]

Well whatever it is, I need to know the answer

[@denniskort7390]

I fight my heavy depression with weed and metal. This Song is on my playlist for a while now.

[@kylemcqueen9465]

This entire album was fire so many emotional hits

[@toddawg8030]

Alex thank you for posting this. For those of us who do deal with depression and some pretty dark it's nice to know there's some people out there who genuinely care even if they don't personally know you.

[@wolfydafloof1720]

Honestly every time I hear this song I breakdown in tears because it explains what depression does to me. It don't always does, but when it does it feels exactly what this song is talking about. So when I hear this song, it truly helps me with the depression. Will always probably be my favorite I prevail song

[@osha_offender4372]

Hey Alex you should seriously look into bad omens, specifically death of peace of mind or the grey. They’re criminally underrated

[@littlewigglemonster7691]

Agreed

[@danielk613]

Like a Villain goes hard too

[@ericg3684]

Just pretend is also a great one

[@blockbuster2399]

I agree

[@thursdayfivenine3106]

Yes a badass pop song

[@aussiewheelz2538]

The whole Trauma album deals with mental health issues and is such an incredible album.

[@thursdayfivenine3106]

Very true

Depression is different for each person

[@marsha821230]

This song always hits home for me . Even though life turned out great for me it could always be better or worse but that depression is always deep down in there.. Always check on your friends!!!

[@cardsrock1475]

This song is exactly how I feel when I go through bouts of heavy depression. This band and their music has had such a big impact on my life. It's a big part of the reason that I'm still here. I can credit that for a couple different occasions over the past 5 or 6 years

[@joshhale9355]

I only recently started listening to these guys and the best way to put their sound, for me at least, is “Linkin Park core”. That’s a a compliment, if music makes me go “wow that sounds like something Linkin Park could write, I’m so in”. Obviously they have they’re own spin, but they (very proudly it seems) wear that influence on their sleeve and I just love it. Also, gotta give a RIP to Chester, the person that made me a metalhead back when I was 10 years old, I was absolutely devastated when he passed and it still doesn’t feel real.

[@jessicafreitag5111]

My parents came over a couple weeks ago and we had IPrevail playing and my stepdad asked if it was Linkin Park!

[@Baebae1947]

This is huge, thanks so much Alex.

Such a great song! Need more of them!

[@redwingsfan-xw2ei]

Finally you react to this!!! Please for I prevail!!! Love the vids Alex

[@BouchTube]

i needed this, thank you

[@WBento75]

Thank you so much for this! Losing Chester hit me so hard but it also woke me up, helped me to prioritize my mental health. I’m an Army vet and I struggle with depression, PTSD, and anxiety every single day. People usually don’t know when you are at your highest highs or lowest lows unless you let them in…and that is a whole another struggle in itself. I have been so happy to have subbed to hour channel from the first video I every watched and I am in awe of your genuine sincerity in every piece of content you do! Thank you and keep bringing the content because you never know the full affect you can have on someone until you try and connect! Thank you, thank you!

[@adropro3218]

Been waiting on this one

[@asmagner]

Love to you Alex for doing vids like this and talking real shit! I recognize alot of this behavior in my 24 yr old son and this provides tools to have discussions with him. Peace and love to you and your family!

[@Libby_74]

"So quiet yet so loud". Perfectly said. That line at the end. Chillingly beautiful 💕. Thank you for this reaction 🤗

[@EzPulsy]

Had a terrible day, thank you for your video and your words. Keep doing what you do ❤️

[@orianadent8176]

I can relate to this song 100% and I broke down into tears when listening to it because I feel this way everyday and no matter what I do I can't escape my depression and sometimes when i'm talking to someone I feel like i'm talking to a wall and I always feel like i'm alone all of the time, but watching your channel makes me feel a little better day by day.

[@killacan30]

Thank you, Alex. You make me laugh and cry. I knew from the moment I saw you that you have a beautiful soul. I watch youtube to distract my mind from those thoughts and feeling sometimes, and we are all going through a hard battle to be better. We're all growing together

[@colleenglanville8293]

I just listened to this song this morning before I went to bed. Absolutely amazing song, and I wouldn't mind giving it another listen. I Prevail is an amazing band, and it didn't take much to get me into their music. I love songs that carry heavy topics like this, and I also like to feel the music as well, this song- made me feel everything. Love it! 😊

[@pilotbroF22]

Thank you for this video. As a person with crippling depression and bipolar this song hits hard. Like I’m in tears right now. Stay strong Alex. You got this.

[@brandonkimberlin6272]

It's always good to know that there's someone there to lend you a shoulder to cry on!

You are a gift. I deal with depression and anxiety daily. The negative self talk is so damaging. Ty for loving and caring for others enough to post things like this. Blessings to you.

[@SuddsPlays]

Loved the vid it really hit hard and I kinda cried a bit bc of how much I related to it. Keep up the amazing work man!

[@ronniemarriott416]

I love your channel buddy thank you. You as well as others have kept me out of the bullet, made a slow transition into depression, and allowed me to get help... and that was a year ago. I dont usually comment as you would have too much to read, but thank you boss. I'm mentally in a much better place, and it's in part to do with you and your channel. I dont pray, but I wish you the best.

[@alexandra4218]

One of my favorite albums 😍

[@amberjones1881]

This song is just soooo powerful and dear god, can not even begin to explain how much this song has portrays depression and what those like us go through with it….I’ve had it for years and thank god for not just friends and family support but therapy, medication and music have been my saving grace through it all.

[@bst.1502]

Not me almost crying at the end when you said for us to not give up and you're here for us....😢❤❤❤

[@boilerman2540]

Alex, I have been battling depression and anxiety for 10 years or so and now suffer with seizures randomly so, I now am out of work on short term disability until we get it figured out but I want you to know watching your channel for a few years now and it does help lighten the mood so thank you for that!

Thank you for posting this Alex. I feel like that most of the time. I feel trapped in my own head and there’s no way out. Unfortunately I just live on with It Is What It Is.

[@joshdennis9163]

This was one of the songs that helped push me to get help. The message is deep. It shows the cycle that we go through. The pills work but there are still triggers that just bring it all down again. Fortunately in my situation I have my wife and daughter to help along with the rest of my family and friends. They might not understand because they directly suffer but they do get caught in the wake. It's a struggle for all involved but it can get better.

[@cynthiaprice1261]

Love this song. ❤❤❤

[@SinMetDivinity]

I love that they made this, it really kind of conveys what it's like to go through it. As you said, friends & family, people around you will tell you you're not alone, but that's irrelevant, you feel alone. 2021 was my living, breathing, thriving, lucid nightmare, no matter what I did, I just couldn't pull myself out of it, just kept drowning. From that experience, I've come to realize that it's very easy to let the darkness consume you, it's easy to be sad & just wallow in it, it's up to you to pull yourself out of the darkness, no one else is gonna do it for you. If anyone ever needs to vent or wishes to just chat, get some things off their chest, feel free to message me. We can attempt to defeat the nightmare together.

[@michaelstrader4279]

"You don't have to be alone to feel alone" I have felt that way. A lot of pain comes from believing there is no one like you. Also, you feel alone with those who care is a big deal and hurt's so much.

[@Faildude15]

This hits so hard and you're so right, we feel alone despite who's trying to reach out to us. I am so lucky to have my support network and I know most don't get that. If anyone else is listening, my hand is out stretched, I too am here

[@forever27jakesmom52]

Someone in Texas cares about you!

[@Faildude15]

@@forever27jakesmom52 hey I'm in Texas as well!!

[@SchruteFarms]

As someone with depression and watching what it did to some people I truly loved forced me to really get help. It’s a struggle every single day but having support and knowing you aren’t alone really helps. It’s what it does to the people around you that is by far the worst.

[@J-wk5ny]

5 songs that help me when I am at my worst that have helped me feel less alone and like someone actually understands are: Popular Monster by Falling in Reverse Ghost by Badflower Lay my body down by Rag n Bone Man Never too late by Three Days Grace Breaking the Habbit by Linkin Park

[@arexgaming288]

Yessss. I Prevail is a dope band.

[@HumanEmoji]

This was hard to watch but I always enjoy your videos. I was in such a dark place myself last year, spent every day in bed and at one point feeling like I wanted to take my life. My fiance felt helpless and unfortunately started to drag him down with me. But he has been nothing but supportive and helped me get in touch with the doctors. I got the therapy I needed and started anti-depressants, I am not ashamed to say I take them. I can honestly say I'm in a much better place mentally, even with life's up and downs. Also thankyou for kind words and heart warming videos...keep doing what you do :)

[@morgansimons5842]

I take the same medication depicted in the video. It is totally a constant battle and even with so many great people around me, it feels like I have no one. Thanks for posting 👍

[@damionval]

As someone who just went through a major bout of depression after losing not only my mother, but my unborn son with the timespan of five months, this is extremely true. But it does get easier. You just have to keep fighting and never give in. Let your friends and family help as much as they can, but at least half the battle is internal. You have to stay strong.

[@jimothymusic]

Hey man, I’d just like to say that currently I think I’m probably at my lowest. Like, I just have nothing to show for myself at all, hardly any friends. And videos like this and music like this helps pull you out. It might only be temporary, and you might still fall under, but I suppose it’s nice to have a momentary relief. To feel like even though no one may care at all about you, at least you’re not alone, people out there understand. It isn’t an individual issue. Even just for a little bit, it brings me comfort, so thank you for that.

[@rexablacklight2146]

I really-really love this song ❤❤❤

[@jonathanandrews2480]

Thank you bro

[@nathanlevesque48]

The video for Breaking Down shows exactly what it’s like living with depression. “You don’t control your thoughts; your thoughts control you” is the realest shit I’ve ever heard in my life. I struggle with depression and pretty much every day when I get home from work, I’m in my bed on my phone doing nothing and I’m too depressed to do anything like laundry, taking a shower, etc. so this song and video hits so close to home for me

[@elsofinho6876]

Your Videos are the best. Your reactions are real and i feel this song and its message so much. I struggle with depression for years. I like that you talk about depression and share what you think. In Germany, where i live, talking about depression seems to be a NoGo. Thank u for your videos. Greetings and hugs from Germany

[@NightmareKhaos]

This song tells exactly how a lot of us feel. We can be in a crowded room but yet feel so all alone. Even if we’re told you’re not alone it doesn’t matter cuz it’s how you constantly feel

[@enable30]

I remember when I discoverd this band and this song. It immediately hit hard, especially since I have been struggling with anxiety and depression since I was 17. Im 21 now, and the only considerable thing I've done to better my situation is going to the gym 6 times a week and hitting PRs. Other than that I still don't see my future, especially can not imagine me having a girlfriend. I am just so used to my "room" which means that I need my privacy to an almost dangerous extent. And it became so internalized, I may never be able to give it up. On another note, you and Nik are my 2 favourite channels when it comes to checking out new music and i luv ya.

[@cavemanairsoft3921]

a big problem we have in the world these days is people seem to think they have to be their best selves, better than yesterday is fine, happier than yesterday is fine, exactly the same as last year, but found an interesting rock, spoiler alert perfectly fucking fine

[@Farrelless]

Great reaction and even greater song! You always talk about this subject with grace. Thank you. If you ever revisit I Prevail, give gasoline a listen. :)

[@michaeldeatherage4753]

Great song

[@colleenglanville8293]

*"Those Voices Are So Quiet, But At The Same Time They're Extremely Loud."* I think that was the idea, to have these whispers saying mean things, it's exactly how depression treats a person.

[@Tnap1659]

Thank you.

[@SnakeHuntersTV]

Facts! 🥹🖤

[@papasmurf4006]

I feel that the hardest part about helping someone with depression is boundaries. Listening is one of the biggest parts of helping, but to what end? That needs to be established early on in the conversation. Listening is accomplished differently in different cases. Most people, especially dudes will listen all day long and never Hear what you’re saying. They offer solutions and strategies on how to “get over it”, but they never hear the subtle cry for help lying underneath the words. Others want to just absorb your emotions and offer no help or validation for what you’re dealing with. So boundaries are huge so that the listener knows what type of listening is needed and then, on top of all that, be genuine about helping/caring. Alex does a phenomenal job at being genuine when he talks about caring for all of his viewers. Job well done brother!

[@amycrandall2153]

[@nicholasschliesman9011]

Alex, thank you for reacting to this song. Love the band and this song. It's spot on. I deal with this every day. It never feels like I can do right. At work, even when I do get a complement I feel like it's bullshit. Depression is very difficult and should be addressed more and with more compassion. When I say that I am not feeling right I normally get, hang in there. It will get better. But, I got a bracelet at a concert that says, "It's okay to not be okay". That's true. Thanks again.

[@gaunterodimm8764]

Check out “That’s Just Life” by Memphis May Fire, friend. That song helped me to survive. Guarantee you won’t be disappointed.

[@cavemanairsoft3921]

both apply, it will get better, or so I choose to believe, maybe not now, maybe not till the last 5 seconds of your life when you reflect on everything, I have an almost 4 yr old kid, and I weigh daily the cost benefit of life insurance vs presence, and I really hope the last few minutes of my life are people I've changed for the better

So I just want to say thank you to alex and other KZbinrs that have been so supportive. Much love and respect. 🙏😊🤘
