PETE DAVIDSON you are my hero. I lost my son to suicide and watching this video just gave me a new outlook to mental illness. THANK YOU! U are BRAVE as BRAVE comes.

[@killbill2725]

Rest in piece to your son🕊 wishing you the best in th future stay strong man🙌

[@neilmcfadden9760]

I've tried... I'm one of the luckiest people kn the world

[@sandraleigh4023]

I wonder if he knows how brave he is for being so open about his issues, and I wonder how many people he has saved. Good job Pete.

[@liona1657]

So true....

[@nelsonortiz9909]

People with depression can not just try to get out of it just because what he said if it was that easy medication would not be the best option to actually help.

[@victoriaharris8543]

Probably not but he is working on it . I love Pete . Why the f would he be bullied he seems the coolest person..

[@KingMinosxxvi]

he's not brave...just a funny dude whos famous now......not brave at all..thats just life yo

[@kevinfager.]

For me it’s just you get to a point where you’ve been going through it for so long and you’ve experienced so much terrible shit bc of it, it’s kind of easy to be open about it in personal relationships at least in a general way.

[@michellereeves3337]

This is why this man is pleasurable to be around and attracts women left and right. He is open, vulnerable and kind. Plus his sense of humor.

[@princesslea21]

Yeah cuz attracting women is what he wants to focus on…bitch you crazy!

[@doseckes3183]

pete needs an "emotional" guard to protect him from those who would do him harm purposefully or inadvertently

[@ResilientdaughterofGod]

Agreed. He checks alot of boxes that matter to most women.

[@lavitz95]

Congrats on getting played ladies. You're a joke.

[@gia5283]

This is also the reason he shouldn't be with kim k because in the event that they break up....hes already vulnerable and i dont think he would be able to go thru what kanye went thru...seems like he should have takin a break from dating to focus on reviving himself first...I know because i used to suffer from depression as well....i took several years to just focus on me so that i don't bring my problems to a new relationship...especially with a person who has a history of toxic relationships

[@jthegreatfull7643]

[@hollywoodkev3822]

I look at Pete now in a different light. You never know what the next person is going through. Thanks for sharing!

[@andyoli75]

Seeing the way Colin, John and Seth interact with him, I know he has people that really do care about him in his life.

[@sandraleigh4023]

And don't leave out Lorne Michaels - he stuck by him and kept him on the show when others would have walked away.

[@johnklaus9111]

That seems realistic until you consider Lorne’s past. He basically killed a few of these snl stars by dumping the, off the show and salting the earth for their future by calling the, “tough to work with”. Never reward a guilty conscience.

Shabba Ranks was also a good friend to him for many years in NY until he moved back to Jamaica in '17

[@yvettedean92]

I can’t imagine having a father dying at the twin towers. That must have been so hard to deal with and even now. I found my dad dead in his house at age 20 and I’m 34 now and it still feels like it was yesterday. Therapy changed my life.

[@denagustafson6070]

This is incredibly real. I have always respected Pete and after watching his last performance on SNL (5/21/22), even I cannot believe how much he’s grown as an individual and a role model. I continue to wish for all good things in his life. He makes so much sense. If you’re depressed or struggling with other mental health issues, please seek help. It works and you’re worth it!

[@deepalmer3960]

I have to hand it to this young man. He accepts himself for what he has to deal with, and has bounced back to a better position in his life, even though he’s aware that he may stumble again. I wish I had his insight back then (I’m in my 60s)…when I used to be a vocalist on the NJ Circuit. Now I suffer from PTSD due to my mom’s horrible death, and from living with an alcoholic father. and living with a disease where I would constantly black out or go into comas, and has deteriorated my body on the inside, and mentally as well . I was always bullied as a kid, and even up until 3 years ago, was still being bullied. I’ve learned not to take things from ppl anymore and to stand for myself now. I’m tired of people pleasing and of always saying “yes” to people who don’t even appreciate things. And I’m tired of the constant judgement. #PeteDavidson … I wish you and I could have a talk someday so you could teach an old woman some of your knowledge. I still have a tough time, and it doesn’t help when you have so many disabilities, and not a lot of support. Bless you, son. And I hope that you will forever be successful and that you will always be strong! Mad respect for you, Pete.

[@kellmos571]

So sorry for your loss

Pete...I'm Josie from Long Island. Depression and suicide runs in my family. My son died in a car crash when he was hit by a drunk cop who sped through a red light. It was 2 weeks after he graduated high school. He was set to leave for California. I put his plane ticket in his coffin. I cannot climb out of my sadness and rely on my greyhound, Benny to keep me moving. You have no idea...or maybe you do...how much your honesty about your own depression helps an old woman who feels like life has become an unimaginable task to keep moving. I laughed so hard at your movie The King of Staten Island, when the firemen were hosing you while you slept. Thank you, Pete. Thank you for reminding me that laughter is healing and that healing is possible.

[@judithhofweber4858]

Thank you so very much Mr. Davidson. I really appreciate your honesty. I myself suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder. How kind of you and brave to be so honest. This is the only way mental health issues will be more accepted ....if people speak out about it. Thank you for doing this and thank you for all your work on Saturday Night Live. It was always a pleasure to see you. I enjoyed most when you played the simple easy going guy which is probably your true identity but it came across very well.

I don't mean this to sound any kind of way, but I always felt, looking at him, that this man has been through some things. It's in his eyes. I appreciate the honesty. All my kids have issues with depression and anxiety. One just diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. The signs and symptoms sound a lot like what Pete described. To anyone out there who's struggling....... reach out to someone, anyone. There are resources for you even if you don't have a lot of money or time. Don't be afraid of judgement. You are blameless and deserve happiness. Reach for it with all your strength. And if you have a bad day, just rest and eat . It WILL be better tomorrow. If no one has said it today......I love you. You can do this. You are a wonderful person. All the best to you, always 🤗❤️

[@madratter]

I hear everything he says on a very personal level. I clearly remember feeling depressed at 4 years old. 53 now. I deal with it everyday and there are very few people who can really understand what it's like. Pete and I could relate on a deeper level. Just as Pete does though, I too am a functioning depressed person😎. Raised 5 kids and have had a hell of a good life so far. It just comes with a price. More people need to speak up like Pete. Hang on there brother. You're a great man. ❤️😁💪

[@jimapplebee5322]

Wow, I also am 53, but I've only been fighting depression for about a decade or so. I have two grown kids & totally agree that it does come with a price. I worked two jobs for 17 straight years up until this April. Getting rid of the 2nd job did help, and for me, 9Round (a kickboxing exercise program) was a huge help in battling depression. It helps mentally & physically & helped me get into the best shape of my life at 50. People like Pete, who openly talks about his struggles & like you (same age & a parent), who help make me realize that there are others who are going through this just like me. You & Pete stay strong!

I completely understood how he felt about the whole high school experience. I went through the same thing and didn't have much support at home. I get not wanting to focus on how you look as well. Especially if it's an issue for you, focusing on non-physical traits is beneficial as what's on the inside is a lot more important than physical appearance. Lastly, finding God helped me so much. Great interview.

[@elysianjameson9151]

I love that Pete talks about this, I relate to this so much and it's so hard to explain and you feel really alone in it. It's so hard to deal with, you unintentionally push people away because you fear you're too hard to deal with and like they will leave you because you see yourself in such a bad light. If he didn't talk about this openly I feel like people wouldn't notice he has these problems because he jokes around so much. You legit feel like your family, friends ect all don't really want you and you're just a bother, you never feel good enough.

I have to work VERY HARD EVERY.SINGLE.DAY. to remain happy. Over the years I've taught myself how change my feelings if i wake up on the really wrong side of the bed; praying and telling myself "i'm just going to be happy today even though...." It took a couple of years but it works. God bless you Pete, I only wish wonderful things for your life. Love, your kindred spirit in depression.

[@BaritoneUkeBeast4Life]

Hi Caissa, thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings with us. I have some food for thought that I hope can help you. I noticed that in your post you say that you need to work very hard every single day in order to be happy. Happiness shouldn't take work and isn't something you can strive for or try to be because as crazy as this may sound you already are happy and even though you might not feel it, happiness is your natural state. Most people whether they experience depression on a regular basis or not, feel just as you do. But instead of trying to add or force a substitute kind of happiness into your life in the way a painter adds paint to a canvas, see if you can instead look for way to subtract or peel away the layers of baggage and sadness that has obscured your happiness in the way a sculptor creates a statue. Think of happiness much like silence. Silence is present at all times, but people are focused on listening to the sounds and noise that are layered on top of the silence so they aren't aware that silence is always present until the sounds or noise stops for a few moments, then you think wow its so quiet. When in fact that quiet has never left. You are just like the sky and all your thoughts are like clouds. They come and go automatically whether you want them to or not, but you are not your thoughts you are the sky that is untouched by the clouds and are the one that observes them as they go by. Let the thoughts roll past and try not to attach to them or hold on to any of them. I hope my words can bring you some peace and may you discover the happiness you deserve to be.

Another reason to love this kid. Well done Pete.

AND, your authenticity, will WIN. You have helped more people, than you KNOW, that you have by being just THAT. "AUTHENTIC."

Aw Pete: we always think that the sunny side of the street is always reserved for someone special/ famous. As a mom (cool mom, fyi), dealing with depression, and raising kids (one with special needs), damn it feels good to know that even the people on the sunny side can feel just as dark and lonely. God bless you Pete. May you feel a small bit of the happiness that you give to so many.

It sounds so cliche, but I truly always felt I was weird to ever feel this way. I’m suppress so much of my feelings. I think of ending everything on a daily basis. Like Pete though, I just don’t have the balls and couldn’t do that to my children. I find decent ways to cope, but yeah… hard to wake up in the morning sometimes. I’m functioning fine enough now. My circle is small but very supportive. Seeing how Pete handled this has given me a level of inspiration that makes me want to do better. Life is so hard. But I am appreciative of the opportunity.

It's a really awful feeling that lasts too long. Thank u for posting this. I'm afraid almost everyday that I get the guts to just go

[@maxinesmith1258]

I admire you very much. I hope you never stop fighting and you find your happiness

Pete is a bright light, sharing some needed light into some dark corners. Big love for that!🤗🌈🦋🌟

I could be wrong, but dating a Kardashian with the family’s drama and the media’s BS that follows like crap on your shoe can’t be good for anyone’s mental health.

I played Rugby for 25yrs an it was great therapy! I identify with his situation an catch myself thinking too much an stop it. I've self taught myself to clear my mind an ground myself. I recognized it's all me doing it to me. Co-dependency is a killer, keep other people outta your head! Family an so called friends. Don't keep trying to pet the dog that bit you, Walk on! Depression don't go no place you just have to learn to acknowledge it and Release it! "THERE I AM DEPRESSING MYSELF AGAIN!" RELEASE IT an WALK AWAY. You may stop getting depressed, consistency may/will pay off. Love ya, wish you well!👍✌️🕊️😉

I know a lot of people don't like this guy, but knowing stuff about him, like how he deals with Chrons disease on top of all his other shit and being depressed all the time. I really respect who he is as a human being. Like I haven't been super depressed since like highschool, but my Dad definitely struggles with depression. I have ulcerative colitis and my mom had to get her colon removed because of ulcerative colitis. Like I definitely feel like Pete is just someone I can really relate to and I just hope he keeps making people aware of his shit that he goes through. He's such a great guy seems like.

Pete is real and speaks from the Heart that's why so many people love him...
