S**cide Survivor with Chronic Illness Reacts to Ren - Su!cIde

[@willbender9035]

We're all crying at this one. So glad you're still here.

[@TachyTanya]

I imagined everyone at their computer/phone just sobbing at the end feeling Ren's pain/loss. And thank you - I was one of the lucky few. I count my blessings for that ❤

[@willbender9035]

@Tachy Tanya I've cried at every reaction, too. It's just an overwhelming amount of vulnerability. Just like yours. I'm so glad your husband came home for you. For me, it was my best friend randomly deciding to call me. 20 years ago, I still can never repay that one phone call.

[@dougvoltin164]

This song makes we aware of the pain others have suffered from my :x3. I put my parents, friends and wife through torment. I am still vertical at 79 and still living with my shadow. Each time I was only conscious of the pain. Been there too.

[@rbbea]

We love you Tanya. You were so brave to open up and put it out there. Thank you for sharing. We understand how tough it is to talk about this subject, but it’s a conversation we benefit from. So glad you got lucky. I did too. I literally bumped into a friend as I was carrying a bottle of vodka and a bag of pills. That chance meeting saved me. It was meant to be

i’m a survivor of multiple suicide attempts. i remember once standing on the edge of a bridge. i looked down and saw that tranquility he talked about. an elderly women with three dogs approached me and begged for me to come down and talk to her. i did. i’m still here. i think about her often. this song really hit me.

[@pammccoy3111]

I am also a suicide survivor, and here to say Thank you. Our voices are important which is why we are still here. Our story continues ;❤

[@YaBoy_JayDawg]

I would say your voices matter, not because you are a suicide survivor but because your voices have always mattered. Life is not easy, but you are never alone. Is the mind powerful enough to make you feel that way, absolutely. But we must remember, we drive the ship - and that includes the mind. Peace and love. ❤

[@annateppema9343]

Ok, hi, my twin sister just yesterday tried to commit suicide, she has never been diagnosed but she took a really massive amount of xtc pills, if she had not called me, she would have succeeded, i called 112. And she's on ic right now, with a breathing tube. And i don't know what to do

[@dknollRX7]

Always remember: suicide doesn’t end the pain; it just passes the pain onto those you left behind.

[@SilionVD]

Thank you for not editing your reaction! Seeing raw reactions like this makes me feel connected to others, something I don't feel anymore in real life since years. Ren and the reactions on his songs, reactions such as yours, make me feel less alone in my daily struggles. 3x attempted suicide, lost so many people, battling MS since 10 years, depression. It makes me feel so detached from the rest of the world until I watch some reactions on Ren's music. So thank you for the raw reaction you gave and I wish you all the best, all the strength and all the support you need!

[@TachyTanya]

MS is a really horrible illness. I'm sorry you must battle that on top of the inner voices. Dealing with both is such a struggle and is incredibly exhausting. It's understandable how you can become detached and almost numb to things. It's almost a survival instinct to protect your energy. I'm glad you are still here ❤ You are one tough cookie to have overcome so much and to keep going! Don't ever think for one second you're not strong enough or not worth it. You are and you matter 🤗

[@bosoundaries]

@@TachyTanya we cried together...

[@thehangingparsiple5692]

"Holy shit Ren" just about sums it up. Keep strong, lovely girl

[@TachyTanya]

Indeed sums it up 🤣 and thank you, sending strength back ❤️

[@andrewg3238]

Tanya, don't dare think for one second that any of us watching you reaction aren't at the moment giving you a giant hug. Collectively whether subconsciously or consciously we should and are surrounding each other with hugs and support here. Both for ourselves and others. Like anyone who has been in a dark place like you were, I was....so many of us have been. Know you matter, you have value and the world is a better and brighter place with you still in it. Ren has done something remarkable here, He has given voice to immense pain, like I once felt. He has also reminded me (as others have tried to do), that no matter what the voices inside my mind have said, my absence from the lives that care for me will not improve their lives, but the opposite and possibly destroy them. Much like the line from Hi Ren, "Some people know me as hope. Some people know me as the voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope". The line "I miss you, and I miss myself. I miss thinking we were indestructible as well". Those two lines will stay with me forever. For two very distinct and different reasons. Keep being you, doing what you do my friend.

[@tattoodude8946]

Ren is what we need in this world today. He is a reason - a reason to be honest, a reason to be real, a reason to hope. A reason to be human.

[@MtHermit]

I felt this song so deeply. Im a survivor as well. 2 yrs ago my brother saved my life. Love Ren and his music. And thank you for being as open as you can about your struggles

[@TachyTanya]

I am glad you are still here. Sending love and hugs to you ❤️🤗

[@MtHermit]

@@TachyTanya Thank you. And I'm glad you are still here as well ♥️

[@mdanam]

😢 not one of us has a dry eye after this. Ren has a way of bringing out the raw emotions in all of us. Don't apologize for being real.

[@louisemyles4971]

There may be tears all over the world for those that have listened to this piece of Ren's today, but he is piecing Us, all together, in a community of sharing and caring for each other. What a gift to have an artist like this, to not shame or blame our fragile human spirits. Warm hug to You, Tanya

[@annmonica2253]

If you're watching this and you feel you can't go on, think about your best friends running to help you and give them that two minutes it takes to get to you.

[@suevick637]

Tears are good for the soul. There is not a lot to say after that song. It left me like Hi Ren did. Speechless and in tears, but I listen to him over and over. I am a 65 yr old Widow. I lost a friend to suic!de at age 16. My daughter passed away 8 years ago and my husband died from cancer during Covid. I trick myself every morning by saying not today. I will make it through today and reassess my situation tomorrow....like Ren...we are not alone. ❤ We need to help eachother each and every single day. My thought and prayers go with you 🙏🏻❣️

[@mdtexeira]

The thought, 'Lets see whether tomorrow is better first' has been me through a lot of hard times.

@ Ren makes the internet cry….. there is just something so special about Ren. The amazing thing is how so many people are resonating through his art. I’m glad that you were one of the lucky ones ❤

[@c4stlevania]

Oh Tanya, my heart was breaking seeing you watch this, as a survivor of a suicide attempt myself after my ex wife drink drove with our daughter in the car, my ex survived without a scratch but our four year old passed away. As a result I jumped of a high building but landed on my feet, I ended up having my lower left leg amputated. Depression and constant pain is how I now live, but I’m living if that’s what you can call it but I realise there are people a lot worse off, but I’m doing the best I can. I hope you’re okay, I love watching your reactions, you’re just genuine and honest and that’s rare these days. Just thank you for being you, the world is a better place because of you.

[@vinchinzo594]

@@helenHTID I just want you to know, your "was it even worth it??" comment is one of the most ignorant, ridiculous, and heartless things I've ever read on KZbin. Particularly because you answered your own ignorant question immediately after writing it which rendered it totally pointless. You are a prime example of someone who doesn't think before they speak, or in this case, before they type. You probably added to Gabriel's guilt and pain, so now I ask YOU: Was it even worth it? Do better. Think harder. Be more of a human.

To every suicide survivor in this thread, I’m so glad you’re still here. Your lives matter so much and you all matter. You’re never alone ❤

[@sputukgmail]

Whatever that voice says to you, it wasn’t just you that was lucky that day, it was the world too. You make the world a better place by just being in it - sharing your humanity. This track is so raw, so vulnerable, and it connects to the soul. Even without anything like you’ve faced, survived, it hits so hard - I can only imagine how it hits you.

[@TachyTanya]

Thank you for your kind words ❤️ it definitely hits a little different. Sending you love and hugs 🤗

[@ChrisCurtis-gf3dh]

right click , play on new window and it fixes, i suppose they (you tube) did it to go after REN

[@andyunwin9260]

I came here to say the same thing, but you put it more eloquently than I could

[@paulhills1816]

Your reaction is like looking in a mirror. I’ve been in the place you’ve been…and it’s not somewhere I want to see again. I’m glad you’re here, just as just as my dad said the same thing to me today. Love P 😘

[@Jason_xofilos]

What is amazing is how vulnerable Ren was at when he wrote this and created this video plus currently releasing it all of us. 2nd is Ren’s loss is hud childhood when he lost his innocence and feeling of immortality. He reminds me of the Maestro Tuomas Holopainen who composed most of Nightwish songs, poetry in his lyrics, and music. One theme Tuomas has is Dead Boy meaning a loss of childhood. Finally, while emphasizing the pain Ren’s friend Joe was going through also showing how hurt he was by the choice his friend Joe made along with the guilt of just possibly missing getting to Joe in time to save him or even to say goodbye plus Joe’s body was never found for closure. In other words, the choices one makes affects more then oneself.

[@BrandonWestfall]

"Your body missing so we never got to wave to the hearse." That line hit so damn hard. It's one thing to lose someone. It's another to never have closure.

[@DodonaWind]

"I can't word." That's such a real statement after how this song leaves you feeling. As for Robin Williams, I don't think that it was him feeling worthless when he hit that point in his life. His diagnosis was telling him that he was going to be losing his cognitive ability and for a man like him, his quick wit and sharp mind was the core of who he was. His condition was going to have him slipping away into an unrecognizable person who he felt would become a burden on those he loved. He had a stand up at The Roxy back in '78 where he said "You're only given one spark of madness and you mustn't lose it because without it, you're nothing." I think that summed up the end of his days and how he felt. His condition was going to take his spark of madness and he couldn't imagine living without it. I loved that man dearly and he is still the only celebrity that I actually shed tears for, so I understand how his loss hits you right in the heart. 💕 Rest in Peace, Robin.

[@nathanfagan3763]

I'm finding the true power of Ren is being so vulnerable and open in his music that you can't just intellectualize it away. It forces you to look at a mirror reflection and have a true dialogue with yourself and with others, open and honest free of polarization and judgement. People don't commit suicide because they want to die, they do it because they want the pain to stop and can't see any other way out. Your not alone in your suffering and by sharing our pain we can draw the strength and the courage to fight on. "Do not go gentle into that good night// rage, rage against the dying of the light" Dylan Thomas

[@jakewigglesworth3585]

most of us live our lives and never have to think or react to the world you had, the world you lost, the woman that remains, and what you think about day to day.... so to hear your reaction is really the most honest and raw way we can peek into this reality...thank you so much for letting us in...much love!!

[@TachyTanya]

Thank you. Not many people come out on the other side. Let alone heal the things that take them to that darkest place. It's tough, but it's worth the effort. I hope sharing my story let's others know they can do it, too, and that they aren't alone.❤

[@DVDFHardTarget]

Jeez this young man has gone through hell and survived. Please we all need to protect him from the haters.

[@itspickleric138]

As a survivor of it myself your reaction was very validating This world needs Ren

[@NixyRose72]

Survivor here as well. This song hits so hard, fast and deep into a soul-searing gut-punch. I had the misfortune of being on both sides of that noose. I was the failed suicide and the failed savior. No matter which side, it hurts. It's a neverending hurt that bleeds even under the scars. Disabled now with autoimmune issues (was all lumped under fibromyalgia, now blood tests seem to be pointing at scleroderma as well) and all the hard work at overcoming my mental and emotional disorders (so many) crumbled with the onslaught of nonstop pain. Almost a decade of pain and no answers and developed new and fun (sarcasm) things like agoraphobia and my depression got an upgrade to major depressive disorder. I don't really want to die anymore. But how can anyone live this way? I wouldn't do that to my son anyway. Even though he's grown now, he's sensitive, and I know the pain of losing loved ones that way. So many. Most when I was young. Same time period as my attempts (one almost successful, the rest only scars)... This song hurts. But maybe in a way that it needs to. Not only as catharsis for Ren, that wonderful young man who lost so much, but for the world to see and feel that pain and make better efforts at helping. I don't really know; I'm just a nobody with a past. Ren, however, I think is one of the most important artists in the world today. Protect him.

[@day_tiger7981]

I love how for every person a different line is the one that hits. For me it was "What it felt like to look down and see tranquility.". Personally I never attempted s**cide but was close to and therefore I know this song will save lives because that was the case foe me. I still vividly remember lying in bed at 3am feeling absolutely lost in the void and then finding "Would anyone care" by Citizen Soldier.

We are so glad you are still here. This song and the conversations it generates will save lives. Joe's legacy will be one of salvation when it is needed most. Don't apologise for heavy breathing into the mic, there are ASMR channels that make money out of that. 😉 I had to watch the premiere with my feet up the wall as today is such a tachy day. Watching the wave of emotion roll over KZbin as others see it and share pieces of themselves fills my wonky heart with hope. ❤

Although it feels strange to say "great reaction", it's great in the sense that that you can face this deep trauma with such courage and confidence.

[@Neph-v5r]

I've put off listening to this song for quite a while. A big part of my life seems to have been swallowed up with having an intense feeling of wanting to leave. I've lost 3 very close friends, my Fiancée & very nearly myself to this 'obsession'. The process of ideation is there most days but is never completed & for now, today, I'm fine. I have good friends, I hold down a good job & live in a beautiful part of the world and from the outside all looks good & I'm sure there are many just like me who never voice what's going on in there heads for fear of rejection, misunderstanding & not wanting to seem dramatic. This felt like a very, very genuine reaction to a very powerful song. I'm glad your still here, I'm glad I'm still here & I'm glad that those who are with us, with the same feelings who still struggle are still here ❤

Ren's performance hit that suicide nerve with me too. I hope that he knows exactly what you tried to convey in that the place we were in was so dark that we were just so far removed from our loved ones. Had Joe thought of the way it would effect Ren, I would like to think he would have turned around that night and changed the course of his life. We are the lucky ones.

What I can say is, I'm so blessed you're here, because that ending did an amazing job of summing up what it feels to loose someone to that fate. I heard the story of Joe in his interview with another reactor, and I bawled my eyes out hearing that story. It's never easy, and I don't think most people realize the pain that's caused when you take your life... mostly because we now know how much they hurt to get to that point.

[@music2seeconcertphotograph457]

I am feeling with you. And with Ren. I am suffering myself from double depression, chronical depersonalization, anxiety disorder and a chronic pain disorder. Suicide thoughts (but not plans) are a regular part of my life. In 2020 I lost a brother in mind and heart by suicide. I never had anyone I could have so much fun with and do stupid / crazy things. That's something I never do but with him it was possible. And we shared our dark side, told us about our demons. It still hurts as hell and just thinking about that one movement and what came next (he killed himself with a rope) makes me feel miserable and sad and empty. I can feel so much with what Ren describes here. This hit so hard. This hit so deep! So honest. So true. So brutal. So painful: Emotionally and even physically.

[@milagrosmendez77]

The pain he felt after Joe’s death was the thing that stopped him from attempting because he knew the pain he would cause to his loved ones. Even when I’ve watched this video so many times and listen to this song on a daily basis it still makes me emotional. I know about the promise of tranquility urging to end it. I am doing much better but I still hear that voice every once in a while. I’m glad you’re here. Loved your raw reaction. Ren has helped so many heal.

In this world of conflict, division, hostility and anger.... Ren brings us back to being human. I've watched countless reactions to this but it's the same every time.

Your reaction, my reaction and everyone's reaction shows how much we need to talk about this. Ren's repetition of the word "suicide" in the song, to me, is an attempt to normalize the word so we can say it, and not hide the word in code.

I watched Ren's original posting of this song and it hurt. I lost a friend to suicide 34 years ago and the shock of that hit me hard at the time and effected my life drastically. I have watched a few of my favourite reactors videos as they reacted to this and they have all been emotional over it. I had purposefully put off watching your reaction to it because I knew it was going to break you and that was going to be hard to watch. When you cried I cried with you, hope you are ok.

[@rodgersmith6891]

I'm glad you are still with us and your reaction was beautiful and perfect and there's no need to apologize. For decompression purposes, please consider reacting to Ren's "Humble" or "Hold on"

You're a beautiful person, and you're not rambling! These things need talking about and talking about honestly. You're right, its easy to say 'think about your family and friends', but when that darkness takes over, you can't see, hear or think about anything else. By having a more open and wide ranging dialogue it will not only encourage people to open up more and to accept that this is more common than they think, it will also give people the tools to recognise when friends or family might need that extra help and support to get through a tough time. Big hugs to you and your husband.

Honest emotion is one of the most powerful feelings that can ever be expressed. Watching this and your honest reaction tells me that the world is a far better place with you still in it. God Bl;ess you and may your days be numerous.

Well done getting through that one Tanya 😢 these reaction videos are going to be hard for us all this week. Sorry you’re going through your health issues. Hope they get better soon. Glad your still here to light up peoples screens with your smile ✌🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

As a surviver myself I feel that God gave Ren to us all in this time we're all living through. A voice of reason and a vessel to show us all that no matter how bad things get there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks for such a beautiful reaction. I was crying uncontrolably along with you and was thankful for the abaility to do so. Thanks from the UK xx

[@dirkmcgurk1]

Thank you for sharing this reaction and making some of us feel less alone with our feelings. It means a lot more than I can put into words. Much love ❤

[@leafie1970]

I had the same reaction, burst into tears on the last section, now crying again watching your reaction and feeling your emotions too, being empathic is a blessing and a curse x

[@sabrinaevans8746]

You’re in safe company. We are all crying

[@louise11854]

perfect reaction. i thank God for the tears i cry, each tear has a nano particle of pain that washes away. God bless you, tanya, for being real in an effort to show truth and help others. much love, kathleen ps: consider: perhaps you were 'lucky' for such a time as this, (to show there is light at the end of the tunnel) as is spoken of in the bible in the book of ruth. short book, movies have been made of that true story. peace

[@achebwahs1111]

Sending you my love Tanya. Healing ain't as easy as hurting when all you want is love for everyone. We often forget one thing. it isn't everyone unless we include ourselves in. 🙏💜💜💜

[@TachyTanya]

Isn't that the truth? Sending love and hugs back to you! ❤🤗

[@Aiken900]

You were incredibly brave watching and listening to that. I wanted to reach across the screen and give you a big hug. Huge respect and much love sent x

[@gurulimbo]

If you can.. have the opportunity.. watch his twitch stream he did today. He wanted to create an open space to discuss… it was that, but it turned into a lot of fun! He brought on his friends/videographers Sam and Josh, and it was 3 guys answering silly questions and goofing off. It was what we all needed.

[@Nico12233]

This one makes everyone cry, nothing wrong with that. Its perfectly normal. Try Ren with Back in 74 for a cheerful song, sweetheart.

[@billyyllib6475]

I've heard this song a dozen times and I still get like that, you can hear the pain in his voice.
