Gerard Way - speech about mental illness etc (live in Stockholm, Sweden 3/2-2015)

[@JiaSkateTeam]

I can hear you crying, that was me on October 23rd last year. That man has saved me from things I could have never escaped alone. I cried my eyes out when he sang Drugstore Perfume and acknowledged me later than night. I really hope he understands how amazing he is and how many people he's helped.

You can literally hear someone crying during this speech. I cried during this speech! ...Gerard is such an amazing human being! He helped me change the way i feel about myself! I hate it when people criticize him bc they misunderstand his music and aesthetic.

[@deceflowers9154]

Yeah, I had a friend literally stop talking to me and say she couldn't look at me anymore (!!) after I showed her pictures of him and said how much I love him. Like, learn a little about the guy before you decide he's awful/scary/etc.?? wtf?? He helped me change the way I feel about myself, too. He's amazing, so beautifully honest.

[@RileyColeman-O]

I DID NOT EXPECT TO CRY THIS MUCH but nobody ruin the 420 likes

[@officialmaxrebo]

This actually made me cry because only a few months ago, I finally got situated with a new therapist. A therapist that understood me, that understands me. She finally made me feel like I could trust someone that wasn’t my parents, my sister, or my two best friends. I won’t get into why I’m in therapy, as not only is it not important, but it’s also not something that I’d like to talk about openly-especially since the Internet is a place where nothing is ever truly gone. But to see the person I’ve looked up to for years, the person I want to be like, the person who I love with all my mother fucking heart, even though I might never meet him-the person who is okay with sharing the hurt to the people who’re hurting, sharing the sad to the sorrowful, the anger to the angry; the person who won’t let the world beat him down even if that world won’t stop hitting him. In a world that may live without a creator, and if it did, that very creator fucked him so hard in the head that he’d rather destroy himself then learn how to live first. Gerard Way means so much to me, a man who learned how to live after he tried to die. A man afraid of the darkness of the world, but a man with a will brighter than any corners of the darkest spaces. Gerard Way truly is the savior of the broken, the beaten, and the damned-because I match all those descriptors, and so does he. Gerard Way saved a world even though he never thought he could save himself. We never would have known him if it weren’t for a horrible tragedy, the thing that made him wake up from the sleep of the city. The one to awake me from a time of loss and depression. From the deep hollow channel of his chest, belts out a song only the truly broken can hear. God, may you let Gerard Way into paradise, as you would have a lot more souls to collect if it weren’t for him. And maybe if I make it too, I can hear to sweet, gentle tune, the lulling of a distant memory-something I never would have known without him-the memory of learning to live.

Teared up hearing the girl crying in the background. Im 28 and today i finally properly asked for help. (After several failed attempts at seeking help, and almost 20 years of trying to fix myself.)

[@thatchick8796]

Life update for those of you playing along at home: I got on to antidepressants I got a job I lived happily ever after True story :) Cannot tell you how life changing 20mg of fluoxotine per day is. Ask for help. Even if you don't think you need it. Even if you think you can fix it yourself. Ask for help. Keep asking. Ask everyone. Until you get the help.

[@theanxiousburrito2821]

he said in 2016 im crying i wish they could have stayed together but i understand why they broke up and im happy that they are all in good places now KILLJOYS NEVER DIE!!!

[@Lana-kv9io]

I'm so grateful my mom understands anxiety/depression and other things like that because I used to be terrified of death (I still am, but it was way worse back then) when I was younger and I'd just obsess over how I'd have to die one day and it was awful. I'd get major anxiety at random times, just think about the fact that I'd cease to exist sometime in the future, how I don't know what lies beyond life.. I remember one time in fourth grade when we were watching this funny video and eating lunch, my mind was just focused on how I might get buried alive and how terrifying that would be. it was the only thing that occupied my thoughts for a time until my mom took me to therapy. hearing that gerard felt a similar thing when he was younger makes me feel better. he's such an amazing person and he's helped so many other people ❤️

[@haleyt6549]

Did anyone else cry? No just me..ok

[@patthetwat6963]

Haley Tortora I did

[@beautifulomens3124]

i did

[@panickingkilljoy8413]

Not even joking, MCR stopped me from committing suicide. I listed to Famous Last Words while I was tying the noose. I had promised my friend I would listen to My Chemical Romance at some point and I figured that that was the time.

[@Ashesinferno28]

I’m really happy you’re alive! And Famous Last Words is an amazing anthem to just live to, its taken me through some shit times

[@melynn_0355]

Famous Last Words instantly became my favorite from the moment I listened to it. It's just so uplifting. I've rly only gotten into mcr in the last few months after being off and on but I knew from this track that they were well worth sticking with. I'm glad you're still here :)

[@midnightapoplexy3218]

[@frankstone333]

This man got me through my entire family except for me catching coronavirus. I thought they were all gonna die. Im so thankful for him.

[@junipusmaximus]

I'm so sorry that happened to you and your family, everything's so stressful nowadays. If it wouldn't be too tough to talk about, do you think you could give me some kind of details of the sickness? I'm really afraid of my older parents and I getting it and I like to hear personal accounts. Again, if it's not something you want to talk about, that's totally okay. Just hope you and your family are doing alright!🧡

[@frankstone333]

Negative Meman hi! Thank you for asking first. I will tell you because everyone needs to learn. My mom described it as the day she knew she had it when she woke up it felt like someone stuck a needle in her rib cage. It progressively got worse from there. It got to a point where my mom would get tired after getting up to get the remote 5 feet away. My dad was sick for a month because he had asthma and coronavirus. He refused to stay in a hospital because if he did end up passing, he would want his family by his side. About every 30 minutes I would check their blood oxygen levels so I knew if they were getting enough oxygen. Getting better was a progressive process. They became no longer contagious after about a month and a half. My mom said she felt completely better after about 3 months. Overall it was a very horrifying experience for them and me.

[@cutiepie6115]

" I'll probably see you in 2016 " 😭😭😭😭 MCR please come back

This is the most beautiful thing...bless this man

[@maryhughes6372]

I'm a new fan. Well I have loved there music for a decade now but I never knew who sang it. One time in 2011 a doctor gave me this medicen that had a side effect that made me hallucinate. It was so scary. I would see and hear horrible things inside and outside my head. I kept going to my parents in hysteria saying 'SOMETHING IS WRONG, IM NOT OK!!!! IM NOT OK!!!' When we were in the car going to the doctors there song 'I'm Not Ok' started playing on the radio and I felt like they were the only ones who understood me. This year on February 19th I just so happened to catch there concert on TV. And as I'm watching I keep thinking 'omg I didn't know they sung that song!' Another song they preformed 'I didn't know they sang that song!' And on and on. I came to realize all these amazing songs I had heard and loved all was sang by one band. So I wanted to know what else I didn't know about MCR. After I learned about there background and Gerard's genuine kindness I feel head over heals.

[@katiekelly8121]

Mary Hughes yup! I revisited old music from when I was in high school, and realized how much I actually love MCR, and then discovered how awesome Gerard is and now I'm addicted.

[@TokyoBlue587]

I had hallucinations also from an antidepressant/antianxiety combo of meds...I ended up having to stop taking them, it was awful.

I don’t want to get into too much detail but to keep the story short I didn’t feel safe in my own home and I was not okay, but this video was one of the things that helped me keep going so thank you for that. I can’t count the times that I have cried to this Speech but I can say that I am doing a lot better now.
