Kevin Gates On His Mental Health Struggle And Being Suicidal

[@JB21-]

Y’all wanna know something crazy ? About 30 mins ago I was ready to give up. Balling my eyes out. I said fuck it, no friends, no family. Feels like no love, I was done. And then this video popped up. 🙏🏾 Edit: thank you all so much, words cannot explain how all these positive comments have helped me. Y’all are amazing

[@MissTeaq]

Thank you for sharing. Willing you health, peace of mind, lightness of heart and success in all your righteous endeavors. I believe society is controlled by forces of darkness. We are encouraged to seek happiness outside of ourselves because “they” know that the spirit of the creator can only be connected with internally. When ever we reach out and encourage one another we are working on behalf of our creator. Be encouraged, you are here for a reason and a purpose. Don’t let the dark forces win… they want you locked in your room disconnected. You have so much to bless the world with, and you are the only one who is in possession of the unique gifts that the world is in need of.

Fantastic interview! New found respect for Kevin 💯 A piece of life changing advice I got from a therapist… “If you can imagine a spectrum. At one end is sadness, the other end is happiness. Two extremes on opposite sides. What lies in between? Peace with yourself/life! If you can wake up everyday, acknowledging all the peace in your life, happiness won’t seem so far and you’ll stop seeking that “extreme” and just seek to go about your everyday with peace.” and nothings been the same since! Don’t get hung up on the “extreme” feelings of sadness or happiness. It comes and goes. Seek peace in everything you do and happiness finds you. 🙏🏾💝

Kevin!!! A lot of people question me why I listen to you so much! & it’s because it has gotten me through so much! I don’t know nothing about cooking that stuff (haha), but the emotion you put into your music helped me much more than you can ever know. You will always be my favorite rapper ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for being vulnerable and transparent Kevin! 🙏

Our community and this country needs to do more, to advocate for Mental Health/Wellness awareness. Salute to this Brother, for sharing his story. If anyone is struggling, please, for your sake, and your loved ones sake, go seek help! Find you a psychologist, that you feel comfortable with. Interview these licensed professionals, and get yourself some help. Depression is very real.

The best thing is to talk about it, let it out. There is always someone there that will listen even when you don't think there is. There is always light at the other end of the tunnel. Some people don't want to go and see a therapist but don't even think that it's a bad idea. Talk to family, friends anyone trust me they will listen. Never give up. There is too much in this world to love for, and you will hurt more people than you can ever imagine. I hope everyone is doing well and I wish you all the best.

Lord knows every time I was finna end it all Kev music saved my life. Reasonable suspicion SAVED MY LIFE.

I can feel this so much..... Nobody knows how almost daily I think of dying.... Or when imma go... But i keep going for my son It just sucks when you cant tell no one what you really going thru

[@shanita9884]

Keep fighting. Im praying for you🙏. Jesus loves you !You are needed here and just live freely. You are loved but love starts will loving yourself and accepting yourself and your situation for what it is. Dont worry about what you dont have, or were you are supposed to be or have. Stop watching these people who are flashing before the camera because most of them are going thru something as well and putting on a front. Just take one day at a time. Take time to find out 5 things thats makes you happy ( Read the bible you can start from any part of it, watch comedy movies, find people on KZbin who speaks positive affirmations, journal your thoughts every day, try incorporating Turmeric in your daily life its helps with depression. The foods we eat have a lot to do with the negative thoughts. I have been in your situation because you often get tired but I talk to God to give me the strength and listen to happy music and listen to sermons. I pray this bring you some type of comfort 🙏
