Harry, I'm not a drummer, I'm barely even a musician unless you count performing for the spiders in my crappy apartment because the thought of being on stage makes me sweat like cheese left in the sun. I do however know what it means to contemplate ending pain day after day in silence. The only thing that stops me is the knowledge that it would crush some of my family, and being extremely Canadian, I am afraid of causing even mild inconveniences. I want to thank you for putting to words the other side of the equation. People who from outside rationalize these decisions to themselves in ways that make no sense, or worse yet call the act "selfish" don't really make this an easy subject to talk about. I'm deeply sorry for your loss, and thankful you made this video. I realize posting deep confessions in KZbin comments is like dipping a cut finger into a piranha tank but I'll chance it. I'll talk to someone, dude.

Having recently lost a friend to suicide this last year, I want to say thank you for sharing your joy of drumming with the world. I think about how many other kids you've saved by helping give them an outlet. Glad you're here, dude.

I'm a Mental Health Nurse and I'm considering showing this to the young men and women who come in to the ward I work on after attempting to take their own lives. Even though I'm a "professional" who has suffered from alcoholism, depression and severe anxiety over the years, I have never been able to articulate anything to do with taking one's own life as eloquently and intelligently as you have in this video. Coincidentally, one of the worst episodes of my life, a time when years of me mentally treading water came to a head, was triggered by me losing my glasses! It was the proverbial straw that broke the Camel's back. You're one Righteous Dude, Dude. Also, do "Always" by Blink 182. Ta!

Like I told you on the phone today after just viewing this for the first time Harry, I could not be more proud of the incredible young man I''ve always known you to be. Your bravery and courage to publically share your own private journey is an amazing privilege to be gifted with in and of itself. But the fact that it was inspired by your cousin is one of the most powerful tributes anyone could ever give my son. Thank you so much sweetheart. Coupled with the irony that unbeknownst to you in the hospital of my initial reaction being just that of an immediate respectful acceptance of Keenon's own decision - is further proof that you and I truly are indeed kindred souls. I look so forward to hugging you again next week my sweet, precious, special darling... Love, Elizabeth

I lost someone I worked with this past weekend. Yesterday, I was watching just randomly surfing the internet, and stumbled upon your '5 tips for Drumming Like Carter', and I loved it! I've been playing drums for a long time, and I love Beaford and Fishman. You got it going on, Harry. Great chops and happiness for your craft. Anyway, I went to watch more videos of yours today - as a way to escape my thoughts and feelings of pain for a little bit - and then saw this video. As a psychotherapist, and as a person, I appreciate all of your heart felt words here, as well as for having the courage to share all that you went through - the thoughts, feelings, the emotions, the pain, and more. Thank you. I'm a fan!

Man, did not expect this on this channel. This struggle is absolutely real and it helps to hear other people speak the words that we repeat in our own heads. For most of us who have been on that ledge (literally and figuratively) and stepped away voluntarily, or was stopped by another, or survived, that ledge is still always there. Still in our minds. Still in our hearts. As of two years ago, my battalion has lost more to their own hands than to enemy action. 28 Marines from my generation alone in 9 years. It is scary and when that ledge is in your life the question shifts from will it stop to who will it be next? Then you wonder if it will be you. The courage to make a video on this with your own words humbles me. Glad you are still with us.

I'm regretting not finding this channel sooner. Harry, you managed to encapsulate so many disparate and terrifying feelings in a beautiful four-minute tribute to someone you've lost and recollections of your own struggle as well. I've stood and looked over ledges, wondering just what a freefall could do to end my pain. I've chugged pills, yanked belts around my neck and tried starving myself to death almost a dozen times in total. Sometimes, if I'm near a busy enough street or alone and aimless for a week or so on end, my self-preservation takes a backseat and I'm still driven by bubbling urges, acrid and ingrained in my psyche, to just do it- no one will notice, and if they do, who's really going to care. Even the loss of a friend and former bandmate who'd gone missing for a week, leaving behind a wife and young child as his former body lay in the woods, didn't deter me completely. Luckily for me and everyone around me, I was caught twice and the other attempts, I chickened out. Self-preservation did a hard reboot right before the point of no return. Stories like this are important- like you said, stigmas around mental health will either label suicidal people as either rash or incapable of thinking through consequences, and often times that's just not the case. It's a battle that never quite ends, and isn't really won until long after it begins. This message is just what I needed today and, although the likelihood is quite low, someday I'd like to meet you. You're a genuine person who doesn't beat around the bush, you're a fellow crazy drummer and you've got a story to tell. Thank you.

Wow, powerful. Tremendous courage. I can relate to everything you said. In my 36 years, I've contemplated, planned, or figured it was only a matter of time before i killed myself for most of my life. I've had close friends that have killed themselves, and some that have been murdered. A few things I can ad about my own experience: killing yourself is not a weakness, or a cowards way out. It takes tremendous willpower, tremendous courage, and strength. You have to literally go against the very fiber of your being to end your life. If anything has kept me alive all these years, it has been fear... not of going to hell, not of some terrible consequences. For me it was the fear or maybe some deep unconscious knowing that I'd just have to come back and start right where i left off. sometimes the only thing that kept me alive was considering all the misery my suicide would cause other people. sometimes the urge to die has nothing to do with any outward circumstances and no amount of change seemed like it would make any difference whatsoever. Suicidal people are often some of the most beautiful, deep, empathetic people you will ever meet. If we survive, and somehow turn ourselves around, we are capable of living incredible, beautiful lives.

I know this is an old video and I don't know if you'll ever see this comment, but I just want to say thank you for the authenticity. I have been living with depression since I was in seventh grade, and as a rising college sophomore in a stressful life of a double music major with three minors it has only gotten worse. I lost two friends from school this summer to suicide but I have kept going. That being said, I have attempted on multiple occasions to take my own life but have been unsuccessful. I have projected my emotional pain to the drum set and have for the last eight years, and finally my work has been appreciated, as I have my first EP coming out in 9 days, and you better believe I'm counting down. I love your videos and your personality. Keep on drumming and entertaining. Sincerely yours, Stephen Moran - A Survivor.

I was there once, looking at my front door considering checking out due to the helplessness of addiction while imagining God on the other side of the door. Crying out for His help inside. After contemplating a while, i simply decided to die to myself and decided to live for others. When we turn our gaze from our own dissapointments, shortcomings, and percieved slights to helping others, our reality shifts. There is no greater fulfillment and enjoyment then helping others. And Harry, you help me and many others if only by bringing a smile to their face, you have made the world a little better place. Be well my friend.

So many people have told me how grateful they are to see your powerful video, Harry and how much they have shared it & how counselors & church leaders are showing it to their youth groups, etc. Your message is being heard! And Keenon's legacy is living on... Thank you again my seemingly surrogate son & amazing cousin. We both talked about what we both believe is the real issue of suicide, so to that end I feel it necessary to convey the following message that I know you passionately agree with as well: DEPRESSION CAN BE FATAL: Unfortunately one of the primary symptoms of depression is the inability to think rationally, which can sadly lead to unthinkably inappropriate, tragic decisions. Because depression is a disease. DISEASE. An invasive, insidious, misunderstood, shamefully stigmatized, ignorantly ignored ILLNESS! A disease which can & often does, render people's minds CRIPPLED enough to the points that their bodies may act like they've literally became LAME. An illness with enough vicious power to so thoroughly infect a person's brain, that it can eventually lead to them taking their own lives out of sheer desperation & KILL THEM - just as helplessly & rampantly as any undetected cancer.

Dude, I literally lost a friend/brother in arms a few days ago to suicide. I’ve spent the past four days blaming myself that I missed the signs; that I wasn’t able to help my friend, my fellow Marine. It’s been eating away at me. As Marines, we pride ourselves in looking out for one another, at never letting our brothers/sisters down. These past few days have been hell for me. I had to identify my friend’s body to the police; and sure as shit, it was him. All I really have to say, is although I’ve spent countless hours talking to family, mutual friends, and mental health professionals, your words from that journal hit hard in the most beneficial way possible. What a chance in life, where I’m mindlessly browsing KZbin, stuck in a hole of how to videos, I come across words of encouragement from a person who attempted suicide. Thank you Harry.

Only seeing this now. I attempted twice, both times I failed. And now, I look back and I'm ultimately happy it didn't work out. Seeing how emotional you got made me feel that same emotion you did. I just discovered you recently but you're already one of my favorite people. Keep being you, whether it's a video a week or a video a year; you're awesome.

I'm new to your vids (like, literally today), and new to your drumming. I find your drumming to be interesting and inspiring, and your sense of humor refreshing. I've been drumming since I was 3...and am also a suicide survivor. Were it not for the love of a very dear friend, I would not be here today. Thank you for an honest and very real commentary on what that was like for you... Keep up the good work, man. I know I'll be watching.

I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing your story. Thank God you are still here. I went through the darkest moments after the passing of both my parents. Attempted suicide on three different occasions. Thought I was alone during this all. Each time I I tried to take my life, my three children's names could be heard as if someone was next to me. Their names were enough to take me out of the moment. It wasn't until a year later, realized it was God who was with me. It was His voice I was hearing. Only He knew what would take me away from that moment. The enemy tried to take my life but it was God who continued to keep it. Love and God bless you always

Harry, I know this video is a few years old, but this crushes me. I've been a survivor for 21 months now, and this is exactly how I felt 4 months after, when one of my best friends didn't have the same outcome as my attempt. Thank you for sharing your story.

I have been watching your clips only for a couple of days now. I'm thinking about drumming as a retirement hobby...then this. However, your own bravery and the beauty of your words (selfishly) brought some joy to me because it helps lay to rest some of the feelings that you describe so eloquently. Thank you. Dude!

First off, thanks for this Harry. I don't know what else to say, but thank you for your courage. To those coming here with similar thoughts: there IS more. Just because you haven't found it, just because you can't see it right now does NOT mean your life can't turn on its head in a moment. Just because it's just turned for the worse doesn't mean you'll be here forever. Every time you lose something dear, you find something way better, even if you don't see it or it isn't immediate. There is MORE. You don't need to know it all. You don't need to do it all. Just stay, open your heart to people like Harry who know what you're feeling and CARE for you. There is still Hope. You are loved unconditionally.

I found a passion for music through you, and I’m so glad you pulled through man. without seeing your passion for your profession and breakdown of musical legends, I wouldn’t be nearly as happy as I am today. I’m starting to find my peace, and I’m glad you have too. From one musician to another. Thank you dude.

I've never been suicidal, but the recent suicides of two prominent vocalists (Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington) made me think of this and how this video can be used to help people that have had suicidal tendencies and may have those thoughts come back right now, especially if they used the music of said vocalists to get through their hardest times.
