I lost a friend to mental health in 2017. There were no warning signs, he hadn’t told anyone how he was feeling, and was generally described as happy and cheerful. There is not much more painful than losing someone to suicide, especially when you’re plagued with the thoughts that there must have been something that you could have done; words you could have said to make it all better; signs that you kick yourself for missing. In just over two months, it will be the third anniversary of his passing. I recall someone describing grief as a ball in a box with a button on one side, in which every time the ball hits the button, it hurts. At the beginning, the ball and button are large, but over time, both shrink smaller and smaller. The hurt doesn’t go away, but it gets easier to manage. I hope you find solace in the happy memories you share with Dom. Know that you aren’t going through this alone, and you have a perspective on life and the impact of mental health that is valuable. I can’t personally donate to his funeral, but I truly hope that he gets the sendoff he deserves. Thank you for making this video. I hope it gives someone the courage to speak up. Please don’t be afraid to seek help yourself, either. Bereavement from suicide is a strange and lonely form of grief that can manifest in awful ways. We, as a community, love you ❤️

[@CJD04]

Lost a friend aswell 2017 and it really broke me but now I'm happy and its over but my GF has been recovering from mental health problems and still abit there now but I'm always here for her and I'm never gonna leave her cause I cant lose another person close to me again but I'm gonna make sure she's gonna be loved every day and feel like someone's there for her

[@nina.baba23]

Low-key first reaction was ,"Adam?!?!?" But I totally understand the whole mental health thing,, bc sometimes I feel like that too but, your channel always helps me :)))))

[@tottylockes]

hey chrissy, i'm glad you decided to speak up on this. it's never easy dealing and coping with this sort of thing. i personally lost my brother a few years back to the same unfortunate fate, and it still hurts to this very day, but i'm glad to see that you're still going on strong, just like Dom would have wanted.

[@sycamore-leaf]

im so sorry for your loss. as someone who has thought of and attempted suicide, i completely understand how you feel and how dom felt. if anyone ever has suicidal or self-harming thoughts, please don’t hesitate to reach out to anyone who can help.

[@themusicman6762]

I am 100% here for this and am sorry about your friend. I have suffered with mental heath throughout my whole life and know how it feels to be in a situation like that and to witness something like that best regards James B I feel its necessary to pay respects to say my real name as it's a real situation

[@ScathingSerperior]

Suicide is the leading cause of death for males under 50 in Britain. It's horrific. Talking to friends has kept me going for this long and I've also helped my friends when they feel like this. If anyone needs someone to talk to, I'm here

[@Sprythekid17]

RIP Dom

[@alexabrooke8998]

I was only halfway through the video when I commented so I just got to this part , but you were talking about the what ifs and please dont torture yourself with them . I know the thoughts will come but know that it was not in your control and you did everything you could. He showed no signs of it, you cant blame yourself): keep your head up ♡♡♡♡

[@georgebrownless7345]

Love you lad, as people we need to get this message out more and help each other. We are going to smash 2020 ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@theflyinmudkip854]

We’re here for you Chrissy :)

[@rizkiabyaz6327]

feel bad for your loss. your speech is amazing mate, really could help me in the future. take your time, dont push yourself to youtube too much. but we're here for you

[@jonathanrasmussen2457]

I was seriously in tears throughout this video, I've lost a friend to suicide myself so I know exactly what you're going through and I'm so sorry for your loss❤️

[@racso628]

no one can feel the way this man feels

[@gettingfitwithpaul2577]

I am so sorry man, suicide is never the answer it just passes the pain on to other people. I am working hard to break the stigma around mental health and suicide. you're absolutely right we need to let our emotions out its not good to keep that stuff bottled up. 2019 has been a rough for me as well you are not alone.

[@k16america16]

First thing I remembered was the stream. Anyone who has thoughts like Dom, Chrissy, should tell someone they know and they should feel comfortable with telling them.

[@afterlyte7293]

Losing people in that way is so damn hard, I wish I couldn't relate to it as much as I can. You and your friends/family will be in my prayers. Much love Chrissy ❤

[@amberrgaga]

I’m very sorry for the loss of your friend. Thank you for sharing and making this video. It’s so important.

[@tracie696]

Christian I am so sorry for your loss. I am glad your using your channel as a way to get through to people and help.

[@alysiglock1218]

So sorry for the loss. You are a great friend and a great person!! Way to start the conversation about mental health! Wishing you all the best.

[@ambermiller6115]

This is so heartbreaking but also such an important video to make. I've been struggling with PTSD and depression for the past year and it can feel so isolating and like nobody understands. I never feel comfortable having in depth conversations about it which is why we need to open the discussion, so people like my feel more comfortable and can start to get better. Thank you, Chrissy, for making this video--it is so important. Rest in peace Dom, sleep tight man❤️

[@TheFosseArmy]

Honestly chrissy i'm really really sorry to hear about dom, just from seeing him on your stream, the way he agreed to the nidoran tattoo and the way he acted on stream, he seemed like a genuinely great guy. Thank you for using your platform to share his story and spread this message, on a personal note i'm always trying to get people to talk to me when they need it but i'm slow to talk to people when i'm down, I've been lucky enough to not get like that too often but to know people are there is a great thing to know. please dont stop saving lives.

[@PlushyQueen]

Thank you Chrissy, for everything you have done for me through the years, love you like a little brother that always wants to make me smile through everything, thank you and I love what you have done for him 🧡

[@vernify]

As someone who has been trying there best to deal with there own depression and mental health issue's for years I am truly sorry for your loss. It's hard to describe what it is to deal or live with such issue's or handicaps since it's hard to describe one's feelings or mental state, but it truly does help to have someone or some group you can turn to when you find yourself spiraling down (provided you have such support).

[@brindelowlet6281]

You seem like such an amazing friend. I'm so sorry for your loss. I have depression and anxiety and sometimes its really hard to show how much your truly struggling, it takes really good friends to even slightly open up to your closest friends.

[@BillyBloggerTV]

Love ya Chrissy! Such an important topic of conversation that more people need to talk about as mental health is something that impacts us all and something that touches everyone’s lives, be it their own or others around them. We’re always here if you need us as well 💛

[@WoopahNova]

This video made me genuinely tear up, I'm so sorry for your loss, and I can imagine that Dom and you would've been really close friends, but hopefully with your message sent across here it'll help people like Dom help themselves, people as good as them don't deserve to feel left out and alone, they have people who're there for them, to support them through rough times. And also, thanks for this video, it's really helped me, the message you sent through the video has really showed me that life has more meaning to it, thank you.

[@Matthew97105]

Much love Christian 💙💙 I suffer from mental health myself. I've had thoughts in the past back in 2017. Due to a bad breakup etc. This video makes me feel like I am a part of something. Thank you for everything you do man...I really appreciate you. ♥️

[@alexabrooke8998]

I've been through this a couple times with friends unfortunately but I know how this is. I am so so so so so sorry for your loss. I love that you made this video its something so hard to talk about . Everything you go through, you can always overcome! If anyone is reading this please please reach out to someone. If you feel like you have no one please reach out to me . I'm usually in streams and I will find a way to get in contact with you there so you can vent to me . Your life always matters . On a side note I am so proud of you chrissy for how you're handling this. You know my dms are always open to you . I love you so much ♡

[@Jakx___]

hey Christian, I'm so sorry for your loss. I sadly lost one of my best friends last year and I know how horrible it can be. sadly it's something you never get over but it does get easier to live with and funerals do help. I remember up until I sat down at the funeral I was hoping the entire thing would be just a sick joke and he would show up. it really did help me accept the fact that my best friend was gone and I really hope it does the same for you. lots of love you, you're family, friends, and to Dom's family ♥️

[@inuyashafreak6393]

Im so sorry to hear about your friend Chrissy. Also you are so right about talking to people about anything that happens because that always helps. I know that for sure since I have talked with my friends after I lost my dog and I felt better day after day.

[@mrdale8052]

We will give him the best day bro ❤❤

[@tekeruUK2580]

He was a part of the community, sorry to hear about your loss ❤ More people need to be aware of mental health and if people are going through something similar then they need to speak up. Me and a lot of people are here if you or anyone needs to vent or is going through some tough times

[@totemicpine9820]

what kind of people dislike a video about mental health? Its a real thing, not a joke, he is helping a mourning family with this video. So to the three people that dislike this video: leave this channel and dont come back.

[@FeintAttacks]

♥️

[@slickpanther4334]

Just tweeted this to spread awareness. Im so sorry for your loss. sending my condolences ❤

[@hunterstewart1318]

Love you Chrissy! This hits close to home. ❤

[@hanxroseee]

We’re always here for you my dude. Stay strong💚

[@thesleepingsteelix2454]

I'm so sorry buddy I know the feeling I lost one of my childhood friends pretty much the same way this year I hope everything works out for you bud all the best wishes and I'm so sorry for your loss, but atleast you know hes in a better place now..... in tearing up..... I never get this emotional, I'm so so soooo sorry for your lose my guy As a person with a mental health issue I understand what he was going through but suicide is never the right way to go RIP dom, you were a great guy , were all gonna miss you m8

[@The_NitroGeneral]

First off I just want to say I'm sorry for your loss. I cant imagine how that feels. No one would blame you for taking a break. I really love your content. Reading all these comments it shows that I'm not the only one. If you decide to take a break because of this, that's fine. I know we will all be here whenever you post a new video! Love you Christian!

[@theflyinmudkip854]

On a certain level, I can relate to you. I lost my grandpa earlier this year (feb 3) to dementia and Parkinson’s, and when I had heard he died, I was in total shock. My sister was balling and my dad held her with tears in his eyes, but I was in complete shock. It didn’t hit me till a couple hours later that night. I cried for at least an hour. And honestly, it’s affected me in many ways. The major way, personally is religiously, because in believing in an afterlife gives me a chance to meet him one day and get to know him, the man before his diseases, before he was half of who he was. I dont go to church often, but this year has made me a completely different person, and I thought I’d share.

[@ellysux]

*hugs* we're all here for you.

[@kyledavies7972]

Sadly, someone in my school took his own life due to mental health. So I feel you and I want you to know that we are all supporting you through this tough time. I also want to thank you for helping me through some tough times and I am so thankful for that. Lately, you have cheered me up. Thank you for everything. ❤️

[@YourCeeCeeDuelist]

I'm sorry for your loss and I give you my deepest condolences because I have mental problems as wellas well as some of my friends and family so I understand what it's like to live like that

[@That_Doctor_Del_Fella]

I lost a relative to depression so I know how you feel. So many emotions and questions. If anyone out there is suffering please reach out to someone for help. The people who love you wouldn't want you to suffer alone. Taking your life doesn't solve anything and it only inflicts all that pain onto your loved ones. You're never too far gone. Trust me. Best wishes to you all.

[@itzpurple_queen9711]

RIP to anyone who has committed suicide and my condolences to anyone who has lost a family member or friend. God bless you all! 😇

[@WGOWeekdayGamersOfficial]

We have to share this it might help people going through this about mental health I’ve battled depression when I was kid due to bullying at high school and it’s not nice so we need to help as many people with mental health

[@_spark]

Eventho im the kind to bottle up my emotions, i couldn't have said any of this better, because its true. Deep inside i know it will get better, its the thought that keeps me going even in the worst of times. Ive been close to taking my life on multiple occasions but im trying to put that past behind me and move on. And i hope everyone can keep going no matter the situation, and most importantly, help eachother. My condolences Chrissy, ive been in that situation before. Get well soon, we love you to bits ❤❤

[@UndeadJohnGaming]

Love you bro, I'm a few weeks late but it always sucks losing somebody :/ best wishes my guy

[@randitucker8641]

Ik what dom and feint r going through i am mentally disabled and deal with constant suicidal thoughts and ideas but i have lost a cousin to suicide and it was the worst feeling in the world. We love u feint and chrissy we r here for u

That's right, we are always here to spread the love Chrissy!

[@MrParky92]

All the love dude. We here for you

[@drew38816]

All the love to you mate❤️

[@GymLeaderZero]

Saw the description, amen. Losing a friend is just horrible, I should know.

[@aaronmiller6957]

So often, depression doesnt present as the average person would think it does. Some of us who love and laugh the hardest with the people we love suffer the most from crippling depression. Its unfortunate that its this way, but sometimes you really have to pick up on the subtle hints to unlock how the people around you really feel.

[@PrincessSaturn1]

Sorry for your loss😢I lost my 13 year old brother 3 years ago to suicide. You are doing the right thing by talking about this on this platform. You may be able to reach younger people like my brother with your message.

[@nickhall1616]

Sorry for you loss man.

[@CherryBerryGirl78]

He will be in all our prayers send love and huggs

[@scientiststiles]

Mental health is extremely important and shouldn't be something that is brushed off. Chris ik u have heard this alot but im sorry for your lost. Anyone who is reading this i highly encourage you to speak up about what your feeling plz don't keep your emotions bottle up inside you, its not good to keep all of it inside. Speak to a friend, a family member, or someone. I speak from experience talking about your feeling can be difficult but letting it out feeling like 1000 pounds has lifted off of you. Remember it gets better stay positive.

[@Tearastar]

Sending love and as much support as a can 💗 thank you for this video

[@cianfuller7651]

I don't know if you will still see this cause of how late I am to this video but Chrissy your an absolutely amazing person you have inspired me so much. Just 2 days ago me and my cousin made a joint KZbin channel and I brought it up to him cause I literally binge watched yours and @gameboyluke's soul links and it inspired me so much to start so you keep doing what your doing I almost shed a tear watching this video cause the same happened to me. I love you Christian thank you for being you ❤

[@UndernetChara]

I know someone who has had these thoughts too for a while and even did things like cutting herself with a knife to the point of bleeding, but she didn't kill herself. It seems your friend Dom wasn't so lucky. My sincere condolences and remember, we'll always be with you when you need us Chris. May God or Allah or whichever god you may or may not believe in, receive Dom's soul in Heaven. He was a great guy and I'll miss him.

[@draykoanubis7901]

I'm sorry to hear about your friend, hope all is well. I'm here for you if you need to talk. Sending you lots of love

I'm really sorry for your loss I went through the same thing a year ago my friend took her life she got really depressed after she lost her mum

[@BlueScrafty]

I had been having an awful time with my mental health the past few months. Reconnecting to the Pokémon community on KZbin with the release of Pokémon sword and shield. I’m sorry for your loss but remember what you’re doing helps people more than you’ll ever know.

Thank you, Christian.

[@misscelebi416]

I lost my bestfriend to mental health a year ago and still miss them to this day. They had major issues with their identity and their family would not accept them. I'm not blaming them at all, but was still the hardest thing I have ever had to deal with. I was angry with everyone for months and in denial, but it does get easier, slowly but surely Here for you ♥️♥️

I'm sorry to hear that 😔

[@KG4eva]

I've just got through depression and I wouldn't want anyone to go through what I went through during the darkest time of my depression. Talking is the most important thing even if you really don't want to. r.i.p

[@andibanni]

Very important message mate love to all 😓

[@michaelfuller1435]

Thats the thing at least for me i cant talk through things its hard for me to trust people because of what ive gone through in my life but it hasnt taken me yet and i dont think it will but thats not for sure. Its not easy for some people to talk about things even if we feel like we need to because we dont wanna put that on other people but im sorry to hear he couldnt fight anymore and that he took his life i hope things get better for you good luck and i hope things get better.

[@Auzuly]

I'm so sorry for your loss Christian. For anyone that is reading this comment, I have struggled with my mental health for close to 9 years now. I have been diagnosed with severe social anxiety and depression. One thing I can tell you right now, is that the message in this video is true. Talk to someone. It may seem like the end of the world, it may seem too hard to reach out to someone, but please do it. You are not going to be a burden, people want to help, they want to be there for you. Talk to someone. For those of you that may not be going through any mental health issues, check on your friends. Some of your strongest friends that you never would have thought may be struggling with mental health more than likely are. Depression is very easy to hide because it motivates you to hide it. It makes you feel like you're not wanted and that you're a burden, which is why people put on fake smiles and pretend everything is okay. Mental health is so unbelievably important.

[@CJD04]

Strong words bro thx also sorry bro I know how it feels to lose someone close

[@frankyquilavafireblast895]

This is exactly the reason why I am in school, I’ve been more or less in the same situation as you Christian, I don’t want to experience that pain again, that’s why am going after my social work degree

Hope it gets better for you man! maybe when you get splatoon 2, we can bring your spirits back up!

Unfortunately mental health is a silent killer. I specialize in helping people with mental health on a daily basis. It does get better. If you guys think you need mental help seek it out. However Christian it is unfortunate to hear the lost of your friend. May he rest well.

[@jamesrich5640]

The sad part is mental health, depression and suicide does not work with logic. I suffer from mental illness and have attempted suicide in the past. In hindsight there was on logical reason for it. However it’s still there. I am sorry for the loss of your mate.
