Suicide, Suicidal Thoughts, and dealing with Pain

[@MAGNAVIX]

This is instantly one of my favorite quotes ever. "So God, Fate, Nature, Random Chance, or whatever put your life on Hard Mode. Who gives a shit? Beat the game anyway."

Dez Xanatos Easier said than done. If you don't lead a life of constant torture it very easy to say: Who gives a shit? With the suffering i'm going through i gladly welcome death. Unfortunately i'm only 29 years old and knowing my luck i'm going to have to wait a long time until the grim reaper comes my way. Maybe i'm going to have meet him halfway .

I know what you mean. There is a reason. Maybe you blocked it out, that happens to me.

[@antimaterijaYT]

Please don't feel that way. There are people that love you and care about you. Speak to them about it. They WILL help you and give you a good pat on the back that sometimes can mean a world to you trust me. Out of every species that has ever walked on Earth, you were born as the most intelligent one and the most social one. And yeah, I started jogging and riding my bike. Helped me a lot. Do some sports, read some books, whatever may be your cup of tea, and you will feel much better. Hope I helped you! Cheers buddy!

[@nejcalvoblanco]

Who knows why you're depressed? I don't, but I know one thing: some of us have to TRY to be happy, because happiness isn't free. But if you've ever heard the phrase "the grass is always greener on the other side," then you can understand that negativity and sadness ARE free. Instead of saying "I don't know why I'm depressed. I have no reason to be but I still am," try saying "I know that this darkness is part of who I am, so how can I be happy despite it?"

[@KikiTheHobo]

RustyMoves 69 Are you an old fan of Boogie, or are you just discovering his old videos? :) I have the same thoughts too.

[@rustymoves6989]

I've been subscribed to Boogie for a while now, and I find that his videos are inspiring to a certain degree, I mean, you see all these ultra famous KZbinrs like Pewdiepie and Smosh, they have the fame, the money, they have everything, I feel that Boogie should be apart of that, I mean, if anyone deserves it, it would be him. His videos aren't fake or dull, but inspiring, and he says in a couple of his videos that he isn't exactly the brightest, but just from watching his videos, you can tell that isn't true, if anyone, he deserves to be one of the top KZbin channels. In my opinion.

[@pogonoah99]

What's more selfish? Committing suicide, or forcing someone to live a lifetime of agony because you would be temporarily hurt if they left? We cannot consent to being born. I did not consent to being held hostage in this lifetime.

[@GigaDonk99]

+Noah Fence Just cause you're unhappy now, doesn't mean you'll never be happy in the future. You have no idea what the future holds. I'm not going to tell you suicide is the most selfish thing ever, but it is a way of throwing away any chance of you being happy in the future. You might think it's not worth fighting through the pain to get there, but I'm not talking about maybe seeing a good movie and feeling a bit of joy next week, I mean true happiness, being loved, having a good family and money and success, it's all possible, even if it doesn't seem to be now. I don't know what your situation is of course, but I certainly don't want you or anyone else to kill themself. I don't even know you, but I care anyway. There's always someone who cares. Remember that.

[@mressjaybee]

I mainly knew you as the Francis character before which I, to be honest, at first didn't get was a fictional character. Now I know I'm late to the party, seeing how this is a 4 year old video, but I stumbled upon a Huffpost article about you and I just wanted to give my respects to you for making videos on serious topics such as this and you got my sub. Thanks for being a good guy and sharing this, there are so many people suffering from depression and suicidal thoughts but for so long it has been something that hasn't been socially accepted to talk about or to show yourself vulnerable since everybody is "supposed" to project an image of strength and well-being. It's good to see that this trend is changing and that you are a part of that change. Keep on keepin on and my thoughts goes out to anybody who is watching this because they are having suicidal thoughts, I hope you find the strength within yourself to defeat it so that the sun can shine for you again.

[@tamarat5475]

This was beyond inspiring. I told my mother today that I need help because I have been seriously thinking of ways to end it. I suffer from depression, and I have been through a rough past years ago, but they only reason I want to end it is because I hate my exterior. I love my inner self, I know I am a good person, but when I look in the mirror I want to shut myself in my room and not come out, and sometimes that's the case. I need to learn to love myself, and I'm not sure how to do that, but this video spoke to me, you spoke to me. I'm not sure if anyone feels the way that I do, but knowing I am not alone makes me want to try. Thank you.

I've been dealing with depression for a few months now after another episode (I've had depression affect me for about 6 years), and I've been contemplating suicide again for the last week. This afternoon was spent watching videos on depression, and as an obsessed fan of your content, it's not surprising that this video made it to me as a suggestion. While the other videos did their job well enough, this video has re-sparked my excitement for life and living! I can't wait to resume some more revision and get my degree! Thank you Boogie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@GRIMGORIRONHIDEROCKS]

I could always use more friends! 8D I take it you can relate to what I said.

[@GRIMGORIRONHIDEROCKS]

Hmm.. don't know why your life may suck where you are, but you say an awful lot of mean things to people on KZbin, from what I can see. Do you think it could be the way you treat people?

[@GRIMGORIRONHIDEROCKS]

I can't say I know much about American politics (borderline nothing in fact), but just the thought of living in an area with so many racists and discriminative people, literally makes me feels sick! Sorry if it came across that I judged you before, though I think you level of trolling is a bit on the extreme side, in my opinion at least. I mean, you said some horrible things about Mormons, and have told people to kill themselves. Surely as a Boogie fan, you should understand that level pain you're inflicting. I don't know, maybe it's just me. I mean I'm VERY sensitive to insults. I can't take a joke from even my closest friends without it upsetting me. We were all bullied in school, but either the level I took, or the way I took the bullying, affected me in a way that pranks, banter, and trolling seem nothing but cruel to me. So maybe you shouldn't listen to my opinion as I might not be the best judge, but I can't imagine everyone would disagree with me. I don't know, what do you think?

[@samgriffin952]

Conor Langford dude i have the same thing but what gets me about these videos are that haters still hate when he is helping people through the hardest time in their lives

I get suicidal thoughts after the first 10 minutes of waking up. That's been 4 years, since that started to happen. I feel a lot of anger and pain, it's unbearable, to say the least. I struggle very hard keeping it under control. I'm in a very dark place, I know this and nothing or no-one has been able to help me so far.. Eh.. Anyway, thanks for the video.

Suicide is the most selfish act I could perform? Good, it's about time I started indulging my own desires instead of giving in to what everyone else expects of me.

[@jickdawmonelason7239]

selfishness is you composing text on youtube instead of spending your self conceited time helping others. self pity does not know a way out.. stop it.

[@JaguerRhye]

I don't believe suicide is the most selfish act. People who make such a claim likely have little idea how incredibly torturous life can become for some people. Or they are people who may have suffered immensely and now life is more bearable and maybe even enjoyable. People who assert that suicide is the most selfish act might mean well, but they risk aggravating the mood of the very people they are trying to help. One of the keys to helping people who are suffering is AFFIRMATION. And one can communicate affirmation to a person who is suicidal by not making light of their suffering in ANY way. Making the charge that they are being selfish may risk aggravating them further as it may make them feel as though people don’t fully grasp the immense agony they are going through.

[@kelw5787]

How can ending your own life even be considered selfish...

[@RicardoMoralesMassin]

+Alaya Vijnana +JaguerRhye Number one, please know more about Boogie before you run your mouths about "you don't know my suffering" ok? I don't know what any of you have been through but this guy has been through a LOT and he had actual reasons to check out. So cut that emo shit of "you don't know", because no matter how f' ed you are, if this is going to be a contest there are children in war zones and cancer wards that would like a word with you. And secondly I see your point about how it may be better to take it from another perspective and not saying suicide is selfish, but you can't deny it hurts others inmmensely amd does irreparable damage. That's a fact and there's no way around it. It hurts to listen to it, but it's there. And it's not just me saying it /watch?v=zvkbHIrrrvU

[@youbestbequiet]

That's a lie. It takes courage to do it. It goes everything you body tries to do which is survive. You may think it's not a good route but to say it's selfish is just ignorant and insulting to people that are in situations who have thought about it

Going through your videos Boogie and I happen to stumble upon this one. Sorta brings back memories of my hardship years ago. But I like how you say that everyone's life difficulty is set different. Some have their life mode on easy and others have it on expert. If one can beat the game of life on hard mode, then they don't have to prove anything. I lost my sister at the start of the century to a drunk driver and the pain of that loss still lingers in me. One can cope with it but like you said, those memories still can come back to haunt you. Being depressed and having anxiety didn't make things much better for me. But more than 10 years later, I did with what I could to make it through my life and I couldn't be any more happier. While the depression is gone and the anxiety, the loss of my sister certainly will never be gone but I cope and remember the good things we once did. And where ever she is now, I know that she is smiling for the things I have done in my life.

[@ibo1137]

[@adu1991]

Yup. Saying that "Suicide is selfish" or "You'll transfer that pain to your family, and you should stay alive for them" seems like it contributes to the problem. It even seems like its aggravates the person who wants to do the act, even further. If you want to break the cycle of suicide... don't talk about how others will benefit from a person continuing to live. Listen to that person. Calling whoever wants to do the act, "selfish"...is continuing the problem that sadly happens all too often in the present day. Someone probably died as I typed this question.

[@craigt2539]

Good advice man, I respect you for having the courage to share so much and hold on throughout it all in your life as well

[@soulshackles2242]

I really dislike it when some people say "suicide is selfish" because there's so much hypocrisy in that statement. Why the fuck should I stay in this world just so other people won't get upset themselves? Why should I stay here with suffering anguish and pain just so someone close to me doesn't get hurt? In a way they're being selfish too because they want someone to be alive and suffer just so they can live happily knowing they're here. That's a big load of bullshit and hypocrisy, they're just as selfish as the person who's contemplating suicide. Some people say that so easily without understanding what the fuck they're going through. (You're an exception though, Francis. and I respect you.)

[@Womp084]

I know I'm 6 years late to this, and idk if you even still believe this, I just want to say this anyways. It's selfish because it's always the wrong option. If you listen to Boogie he explains, you have so much time left and you don't know what's going to happen, why would you cut your life short, and transfer the pain you feel right now to the people that care about you, just because of the slim chance chance you MIGHT still feel this pain for the remainder of your life?

And in trying I can start to live with it and heal. Like you said: "The truth of the matter is, maybe you are in a lot of pain. Maybe your situation really sucks---But, so what? God, or fate, or nature, or random chance put your life on hard mode. Who gives a shit? Beat the game anyway." Best quote I've heard in a long while.

[@Crimbro]

I'm 23 years old and I've struggled with loneliness and depression throughout most of my life, I got bullied and picked on endlessly in school. It slowly killed me inside as a person and made me lose interest in education as a whole and i ended up failing school entirely. I then found out three years after school finished that i have aspergers. I've also never had a girlfriend and i could tell in school that girls were interested in me, but i didn't have the social skills to act on it at the time because i was extremely depressed and lacked the confidence due to constant harassment, and because of that constant failure of not finding love like my friends did, it made me miserable and i struggle to even go outside the house at this stage. I also went to my high school graduation by myself while every other guy including my friends was there with his girlfriend, i was the only single guy there. It was probably the most humiliating moment in my life. Now all i do everyday is stay inside all day listening to music, playing video games and watching KZbin videos to pass the time and cope with whatever pain i'm feeling and i have essentially no social life. I'm literally miserable and i wish on a daily basis that i never existed.

[@zlogist]

I don't know if it's selfish. I've been struggling with it for ten years now, almost half of my life. And i've come to a point where i don't feel hapiness anymore. It feels as if i'm broken. The only thing i ever feel is pain. Right now i don't have ANY friends. People i talk to from time to time but who don't care about me and i barely know. I can't seem to get close to anyone but my heart still screams for affection, tenderness, friendship,.... Every night i cry and i don't think about doing it, i just hurt so much inside, i cry, i scream but it won't fucking go away no matter what i do and in theses moments, i can barely breathe. When it happens every single day of your life, you go mad. I'm tired, so so tired. I don't have any more strength. And i'm beginning to think that the people around me are selfish for wanting me to keep living and hurting this way. I don't have any dreams, anything i want to do, i'm just an empty shell. Is it even worth trying?

Making the charge that suicide is the most selfish act may risk aggravating them further as it may make them feel as though people don’t fully grasp the immense agony they are going through. Yes, many people do indeed learn to cope with their suffering and end up becoming a success and maybe end up with millions of subscribers on youtube. But many others do not cope well and life can become increasingly more and more torturous for them, especially if they have little hope of the pain going away. Suicide is not right, but it is understandable in light of the immense torment some people are left to contend with. I would never tell a person to kill themselves, but I'm extremely careful to never charge them with the idea that suicide is the most selfish act as, even if it's true, such a charge may risk inflaming their misery even more. And that is something the person considering suicide likely doesn't need.

''So fate put your life on hard mode. Who gives a shit, beat the game anyway.'' As a gamer I gotta say that is an awesome way to look at life when it gets tough :)

[@alastairpearce3078]

I don’t get bullied anymore but going to school is a fucking pain

[@unitgamex2972]

Same bro. I have learned to fight and win.

[@The_King_Kaden]

I needed to see this video before. But really glad I did. Boogie I know you probably won't see this but this really helps people. Or atleast helped me. I wish you made more videos like this now a days. Thank you so much for making this!

[@boogie2988]

I saw it. Thank you for choosing to stay. It gets better. I promise. Even if it doesnt death is inevitable. So just try to have fun ok?

[@The_King_Kaden]

@@boogie2988 wow! I really can't believe it. I also try to it's hard most days but I know there's a light in the darkness. And I really can't thank you enough for replying to me it means so much more than you could think. I've always looked up to you. Thank you Boogie!

[@The_King_Kaden]

Also I want to help people that go through this pain.

[@The_King_Kaden]

Sorry for so many replies still in some shock. I've been watching you for 7 or 8 years when I was about 11. Anyways the way I want to help others is by film and story telling. I don't know how well that will go but I'm gonna do it regardless. Again for the last time thank you,you made my day

[@BehemothSuper]

Out of everything I've been exposed to about suicide, this video has helped me the most. Steve, I want to thank you for changing people's lives. You've definitely helped me today and for days to come. Thanks again.

[@zachariastaylor1375]

Wow this is really emotional and inspirational. Although I might not be suicidal, this is very amazing. :)

[@mufcmatt9556]

Love you boogie! I can relate to all of this. You're a real hero and brightened my day! ; )

[@NSIII]

This will always be my favorite youtube video ever

[@XFoxTrot]

It's been many years and I still come back to these videos..I just don't know where to begin anymore

[@bizzatch926]

Youre a beautiful person my dude! Your intelligence is motivating.

[@badwolf66]

Well this has aged like milk!

[@RealPoi]

People need to stop joking about suicidal thoughts. It's a serious topic. So, stop joking.

[@jeremyanderson3615]

True especially when you’re on the receiving end of those thoughts. People need to take a moment and put themselves in the shoes of an individual who might be having those thoughts. What might they be feeling that would drive them to want to commit suicide

[@dondonfilms2005]

A guy on reddit declared suicide is officially funny just 2 minutes ago.

[@francinesanders6175]

💯💯

[@kimchi8109]

Your last sentiment hit me hard. "Who cares if your life was set on hard mode- beat the game anyway." Thanks Boogie. I needed to hear that. I've been struggling the last two years. This was a gut punch.

[@TOCCL]

This is possibly the best video on youtube.

[@Simon-yp7rv]

TOCCL Probably.

[@wearelegion5533]

Boogies. your video helped me. was in a very bad way. seeing this video gave me hope

[@livecoilarchive1458]

Before you became a monster...

[@shallowwater]

He was always a monster. He just pretended he wasn't.

[@Sithkiller]

@@shallowwaterwhich makes this even sadder….

[@nickguy1374]

Boogie2988, you're amazing. You're insperasional I know this is a pretty long time after you posted this video but man. I very much understand the things you say in this video. I respect the fact of thousands of people giving negative thoughts about you and you still continue to post videos and be one of the best youtubers on this planet. You sir have almost 2 million people subsribed to you're channel and beleive me that is so much love and kindness of people that there is no reason for you every Getting suicidal. Boogie If I knew you In real life I would love to meet you and be you're friend You're just a gift. Thank you so much for posting theese videos and other funny ones. You're a GOD.

[@cosmokramer179]

Take one good look folks. This is the Boogie2988 we used to know. Now he’s just a sad, pathetic joke

[@damondriver6363]

Hes always been a pathetic joke, he was just hiding it here

[@dyslexicisme]

I hope you go to Heaven. 😔

[@flarifairi]

I mean nobody says cancer is selfish. Why do you say depression and suicide is selfish. We don’t choose to die from cancer as well as we don’t choose to be sick from depression. This is one of the reasons I actually have anxiety and can’t express my feelings properly. “You live better than kids in Africa”. “It’s selfish of you to behave like that”. It makes pain invalid and actually intensifies it with guilt. I can’t control my brain chemicals as much as I can’t control catching a cold. Why are you guys so critical towards those who commit suicide. It’s not selfishness that drives it. It’s the suffering as in any illness.

[@user-qm3yy5mh8l]

That and for some people its not just the illness or illness at all. It is logic for a lot of the time

[@warhawks8358]

For anyone that sees this comment you are here for a reason, you are meant for someone and you just have to find that someone that your kent for. Ignore people that are negative to you and think about people and thoughts that make you feel better

[@thegoodjinn8065]

this is a good guy...thanks for the pick up.

[@shadowspeedx8585]

No one can help me, if I'm going to kill myself I will, these feelings I hear you talking about make me not want to live. I'll be dead, not missed No more pain. Yes unknown, death. Life is hell.

[@margaretdennehy4407]

thanks Boogi

[@margaretdennehy4407]

thanks

[@cherylmaley6352]

Bravo Boogie! Bravo!! I hope this helps the girl you were trying to reach out to. Life is precious and it can be taken away in a blink of an eye. It is NOT up to us to decide when that time will be. You are absolutely 100% correct about what happens to the families and friends left behind when someone decides to commit suicide. Everybody has problems, everybody. Some are far worse than others. So if you think your life is so bad, just remember, there is somebody else that is way worse off than you. Get help and learn to cope with what ever has got you down!! Boogie, thank you for such an inspirational video! As far as the HATERS and all their NASTY NEGATIVE comments-- why don't you clean off your own doorstep before you go knocking on someone else's door!! If you don't understand what that means, well you really need to read books instead of spending all your time on the computer or playing too many video games!!!!!

[@spluff5]

I dislike how now comments with the most response become top comments.

[@NobodyHere44]

I'm tired of taking all these medications for my mental illness and im tired of being in the crisis hospitals for weeks at a time🤦‍♂️

[@hubweezycarter6655]

I'm dealing with depression an anxiety which have lead me to have some disturbing thoughts that I would rather not say. But your right we aren't certain of what's after this life something is better than nothing. The truth is everyone who's suicidal doesn't want to end it but everyday just seems like a repeat of each day getting worse. It's not easy but for my daughter I want to do it because if I'm suffering from mental illness what affects will it have on here growing up without a father. This isn't the only video I've seen about depression and negative thoughts some days are better and some u just want to give up I love my daughter idk what I'd do without her she's my hope and faith. God bless u Bro and keep up the inspiration.

[@jaybrick8973]

The world has only gotten worse as time goes on

[@jacobking1131]

I think I'm just not even going to watch these vids anymore. Mostly because the amount of hate just because of his looks in the comment section is disgusting. Really makes you look at people differently if they can just slam somebody for their appearance rather than who they are just because they feel like it. smh

[@TheAllMightyWolf]

1 Thing about what he said that you should accept that you're going to die, and yes you really should, when I was 13 I would worry and get upset about it now I just try and stop thinking about it and yes it can be hard for some people, but if you don't accept it and you live your life in fear of death then its going to be a very depressing life.

[@eagsdaman1772]

Hey man, I'm not Suicidal, but I have been mildly lonely and kinda depressed lately, but I really love the message you sent out with your video, and agreed with everything you said and I'm glad you are helping people out, another thing is that your video really inspired me to want to help out suicidal people myself.

[@Russiancow602]

My sister is a psychologist and she hast to run a suicidal hotline and she's saved lives

[@ohswapp7420]

I'd love to meet you

[@bloodyhellism]

Well said boogie. Thank you :)

[@danielhill8222]

I have been wrestling with the notion of suicide for a long time I just go back and forth but boogie you are a true inspiration you give me hope, the amount of crap you have had to deal with you are a dam trooper I wish you the best of luck

[@KikiTheHobo]

Daniel Hill Dont just go back and forth, but please, stop with the suicidal thinking! May Boogie give you enough inspiration and motivation to keep your head up :)

[@Spider-man-dk1bl]

I can't believe people disliked this video.

[@N9neGod]

wow , thank's alot for this video

[@dl_0002]

all very well put!

[@jamescioffi3796]

Went through a bout of depression after being cheated on and breaking up with my GF of 3 1/2 years in college. My whole senior year was a struggle, but you have to dig deeper. You have to learn to get angry at yourself, to fight the enemy in your head that keeps telling you that you failed. Being able to overcome through adversity, only makes you stronger when you finally succeed. Nothing worth doing ever happens in a day. True rewards come to those with patience. Never lose sight of that. While today might be bad, your strength to fight it will give you a power in your integrity and character that is unmatched. You may lose some battles, but you can win the war.

[@AtlantaJule]

thank you for this video
