[@yukiasahina8298]

Someone told me something really important before that really helped, he told me: A person's heart is like a prison, inside the prison is a small version of ourselves. We do not dare to let the little person inside our heart out, worried it will get into trouble. Hence, the prison wall becomes thicker. And the space inside the prison becomes smaller and smaller causing discomfort to the little person. When the little person is upset, she/he will cry inside your heart. You may not cry holding every emotion inside, but the little person is constantly bearing all these sad emotions. If it hurts so much, let it out before you break and can't be fixed anymore.

im in New Zealand, and during one of the worst years of my life I called a suicide and counselling hotline. I waited almost an hour to talk to someone, and then when I finally got to talk to someone they said that I would be added to a *three month long* wait list to see a councilor (idk if im spelling this right). I never actually ended up talking to the person they set me up for. I gave up on that place and removed myself from their list. I haven't talked to a councilor, but one of my friends is helping me out, and things are getting better.

[@Lesley_RedRhody]

Kylee Maclean First of all, hello! I hope you’re doing well. I’ve been Subscribed to the Channel since 2017 and, when the stress and burnout started to show, I felt an immediate concern for this Irish KZbinr whom I’d never met. But I didn’t know the scope of how dark things had become for him until his 2017 New Year’s Eve Vlog. Looking at this video in hindsight, it makes me even more emotional knowing that Seán was *so close* to telling us what he didn’t reveal until a year later (2019). That, for a brief moment, Seán himself actually contemplated suicide. I have a huge amount of respect for the boundaries Seán began putting in place for himself in 2019 and reiterated just recently during his Return Stream in August of 2020. That said, I hope people will keep videos like this one in mind whenever they start going off the rails over silly things that mean fuck all at the end of the day: Like hair color, beard length, a Paddy Cap, or even every series that Seán rightfully saw fit to retire. What matters most is that Seán has found his balance between doing what he loves after almost eight years, interacting, in a *much healthier way,* with the Community and finding happiness in his personal life.

Speaking of depression and suicide. I was planning to kill myself this year. Came out of a long relationship, didn't do well at school so jobs are hard to get, you know...the usual. Then I found a girl who completely changed my life. I couldn't be happier. If someone had told me I'd have been this happy a few months ago, I'd have never believed them. She made me like myself again, I'm working out, trying to get a job and save up money to rent my own place. KZbin has been really great too, everyone seems to be having fun doing what they like, which is amazing to watch and to relax to. Obviously its hard to make a living from it, but just seeing everyone enjoying themselves (for the most part) is really inspiring. Sorry, I'm rambling, I just wanted to say that...with everything else in my life, you, Sean, have made a huge impact. I don't want to get too sad but, you've brought me some of my most happiest memories, cause I haven't had a good life (read into that what you will). Idk how to finish these thoughts...so THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK!!! You mean a lot to so many people P M A :)

[@jaydennscave4510]

I met this amazing girl last year on highschool. I noticed she liked the same kind of music as me since she kept looking at me when I was wearing merchandise of the band. One day, I went to the girl with one of my best friends. We talked for 20 minutes straight and she gave me her phone number so we could stay in contact. Months passed and we had become very good friends. I trusted her, she trusted me. I love her and she loves me. But then in all went wrong. She told me she had been depressed for over 3 years now and that it was all caused because of the bullying on her elementary school. Lately she hadn't been feeling well and she kept feeling down more and more everyday. I send her a lot of messages telling her she was the prettiest, most kind, funny and amazing person I've ever met. She thanked me, but it still wasn't over yet. She send me pictures that she made scratches on her arms with her locker key. Then, she started using scissors and went a little too far. She has scars on her arms now. Scars of the pain those bullies have caused her. Though, I told my teacher and he would take action. I was scared. Scared of being left behind by her because I told someone about her problems. She told me I was the only one who knew about it. That's why I became so scared. Another few weeks had passed and the teacher I told her problem to came up to me again. He told me she would get help at a clinic. A clinic especially designed for people with depression. After that I noticed things had gotten better. She used to wear long sleeved shirts to hide her scars, but nowadays she's only wearing short sleeved shirts. Not because of the weather, but because she has accepted the way she is. And that's great, I told her that she has to stay strong and that I would always be here for her. She can text me whenever she wants. Even at night. I'm always ready for whatever may come to me in the future. I'm happy again. She's happy again and I prevented her from committing suicide since she had thought about that a lot. Everything is fine now and so is she. She's my best friend and she will forever stay like that. I love her from the bottom of my heart and she deserves so much more happiness than she already has. Thank you for the ones who took the time to read this. Leaving a nice comment would mean a lot to me and to her. Edit: Thank you so so much for all the inspiring and supportive comments. It means a lot to me and definitely to my friend. I'm hoping that Jack will see this comment sometime. He really did inspire me to do this for her and that's why I left this comment on his video. That's why I also want to thank Jack! :)

[@ruth-ann8623]

I don't know if it was just the lighting, but at some points, it looked like Jack was going to cry. He's such a genuine guy and no matter where he is and where I am, I'm glad that someone cares. During the game, I was holding it in but when Jack switched to full screen and talked to the camera, it felt like he was actually here and talking to me and I started crying so hard and my headphones kept falling out because I'm laying down and my tears are going into my ears. Anyways, thanks Jack 💕 I've been trying to be strong. It's so hard. I wake up with nothing to look forward to, I sleep my life away because I just feel so tired. Yes, I have people there for me during the day, but when it's the end of the day and it's dark out and my light is out, it's just me and my thoughts. No one talks to me out of school and I just cry through the night, sometimes without even having reason to. It hurts, but I know it'll get better. Then, I find the strength to open KZbin and start to drift off into another reality and I find myself not crying anymore and I'm smiling and laughing and it almost seems that everything is normal again. And KZbinrs like you just help me through, you guys are seriously heros. Without KZbin, I don't know where I would be now and if id even be here.

I always love it when Jack sits down and talks like this. He sounds genuine when it comes to topics like this and for some reason, I always feel calmer. Yesterday was a bit of a rough day for me emotionally, heck, everyday for last few months has been rough for me. The constant pressure to deliver on a specific video series, struggles with money, feeling under appreciated and like I'm just a tool for everyone to use and then toss aside when they're done with it. Still, Jack's words did make me feel a little better. I'm gonna keep trying to do what I want in life, but constantly being knocked down and dragged through the mud does start to wear on you.

Never a commenter, but this was important to me. It meant the world to me that Jack critiqued this game. Having grown up with depression, anxiety, and ptsd and growing up with a mother who suffered from those as well, this game didn't sit with me well. Just as Jack said, the way this game portrayed medication and mental health professionals was a rude cliche that sours me every time I see it. I owe my life to the doctors who took the time to care and to the experts who looked into and crafted the meds that try to help bring mental suffering down. Meds may not totally "fix" your mental health problems, but goddamn can they build you a foundation to work on when you're sinking into nothing. Another critique I personally have was with the "Join" ending. Another incredibly toxic cliche. That ending could've been portrayed immensely better. Perhaps when you clicked "Give In" the next slide showed her funeral where her family are now mourning. Instead the creator gave it a cute little slide with some ghosties holding hands. It's not like that though. It's not a glorious reunion. You've killed yourself, due to immense pain. It's not cute. It's a tragedy. It's heartbreaking. My grandmother died a year and a month ago. My mom and I were so close to her. We watched her die. It still breaks my heart. My mom still cries. Growing up with the fear that I might not wake up with my mother was awful, and my grandma's passing made it so much more terrifying. Thinking that my mom might one day be so miserable that she would kill herself, it kills me. Suicide isn't cute. Apologies for the paragraph, this just really hit me in a way and I needed to talk about it in a public forum I guess. If you read this, thank you! And if you see this then thank you so much for what you do and why you do it, Jack.

And I’m glad you at least put it out there so people can support you. And don’t worry, we’re always here! This is the best community I have ever seen on the internet and I hope it never changes, or if it does that it will only get better. We are all here for you, you can do it! You can change things for the better! Just believe you can and don’t stop trying! Don’t be afraid of failure if it doesn’t always work. And don’t keep your feelings bottled up inside, it’ll only make things worse. Like Sean said, talk to somebody, you seem close to your mom try to talk to her.

[@kameronw.3247]

as someone who has heavily dealt with depression and loss and still does, I can say that this is decently accurate. I lost my best friend from suicide at age 8 and I'm still not over it at age 14. depression is something that messes with you so much that it becomes inbedded within you when you can't get help. I've personally attempted suicide many many times and I still have those very thoughts to this day. self harm is something that I've dealt with since I was 7. this kind of stuff is very real and it needs to become something that society needs to make normal. not something that make you seem "weird" or "insane" or "weak" for dealing with this type of stuff. I'm not too sure if this made sense but I hope it did. *rip Bailey. you will forever be in our hearts. we miss you*

hey Jack. you probably won't read this, but it's worth a try. last year was literally the worst year of my life, so many people died in my past and in the worst of my times when i needed people to talk to all my friends left, including my Boyfriend who i was together with for quiet awhile, and who was the most important thing to me. i've never been this alone, i celebrated my birthday, Christmas and new years eve alone in my room. not even a single person texted me on those days. half of my family is dead, and i have no contact to the other half. i'm at a point where everyone i care about is gone, everyday i stay up early in the morning, i'm working the whole day and at the end of the day i go home take a shower watch 1-2 videos from you and go straight to bed then, just because knowing that i have no one to talk to is killing me. and i was really close to giving up many times, i still am.. and this may sound weird but you were basically the only consistence in my life, nothing really helped me except you, watching your video and seeing how much fun you have just by playing some games made me forget about some bad thoughts. and i just want to thank you for that, you’re doing more than you think with those videos, and watching you always helps me to „turn my head off“ for a little while. soo yeah.. really jack thank you so much. x

[@aquaangel1729]

The art in the game was beautiful, absolutely. I had a problem when they portrayed all clinics/therapists as people who are against you. Not all therapists keep a mouthful of secrets. Some genuinely can help, some are really nice. I had a therapist (not for depression) and he was one of the best, nicest people I have ever met. He was very understanding and really helped me get through hard times. Not everybody is against you, or are there just for money. Good wishes to all who read this!

[@ApsaraMenaka]

Aqua Angel you are right. of course. but some kinds of depression come with the thoughts of "nobody understands me" and "everybody is against me" especially those that end or could end with suicide. After all: as long as there is still hope someone or something could help you don't end your life (at least not because of depression). And I think the game tried to show that, to make the player feel that. But that is just my interpretation, could be wrong.

i think he might realise that but i think he said that because it is what the character sees it as. no het towards you, im just trying to say that i know jack wouldnt mean anything like that towards therapists or anyone like that, have a good one

[@inlandbaiman8260]

Aqua Angel I know I had to have therapy for depression and suicidal/self-harm tendencies and he was the nicest person I've ever met, who helped and the ultimate goal was to make sure I never had to come back because I'd be better, but they are there to help, if you need it there's no shame in asking

[@breeannarauschkolb155]

TheTrueLlamacorn I agree. but also. I think the game was just trying to make the player, and in this case, the viewers look and feel how a person going through depression is. I think that you are 100% correct though. Not all therapists are out to get you. and I am so sorry to hear about that. I had my fill of depression but my family is slowly helping pull me out of it. I wish you the best and if you need anyone to talk to just let me, or anyone know. I'm sure we will be fine with it :)

[@ShirtlessDan]

I'm not crying, you're crying. And you're crying. And you're crying. And now I'm crying, too. Though this game is short and sweet, I can't say I didn't love the playtime and the followup conversation. I actually smiled and had a tear roll down my cheek as I heard "you're doing great. we're all proud of you." That's something that I feel people don't hear enough of in life. We're always striving to achieve, but even if you come close and fail, it's still something to be proud of, because there's plenty of people out there who are happy to see you try. And who knows, maybe by just trying your best at the things you do, you'll inspire someone to try just as hard at something, too.

[@LittleRiley]

I never realized since this point, how much Jack, and youtubers in general helped me grown as a person. I would be nowhere without them. Fortunately I don't have very big mental health problems, but I have some issues that not necessarily knows anybody. But the fact, that I watch youtubers for a few years now, who make me laugh or make me think about stuff, and courage me to keep going, is helped me a lot. And by that I mean a LOT. And not just that I feel like I got better, but I realize that I start to become the person who courages people to do the right things, or just the one who is try to be nice to everybody.. Back then I was the typical "I hate everybody cause they're dumb" kinda person. But is changed a lot. I'm rambling, my English is really bad, and I don't even remember what I wanted to say... But I can thank a lot to a lot of youtubers. They are not just entertainers anymore. They have much more important roles in people's lives.

[@hocusthepocus2683]

Little Riley, thank you so much for giving this message. I never realized how much I have grown thanks to people like Jack and the others. I never would have been able to write that myself, seeing as how I'm incredibly shy about expressing my feelings about certain topics, unless like in this circumstance where someone else expresses a similar idea. If I could ask you a favor, please continue to inspire people like me who are even too shy to write a KZbin comment.

[@AdmiralZev]

Jack, I don't know how to put in to words the appreciation I have for you. I've been fighting for depression for years now, recently just had one of my lowest lows ever. It was also in this span of two or three days that I picked up a knife for the first time in years with the intention to start cutting again. But as you said in this video, there's always a light. I found my light, and it made the depression seem...not sure how to word it, really, so let's say "normal." It gave me a new hope, and a new perspective to look from. Part of the light was finding your Planet Coaster Videos, and being able to distract myself from myself with them. Long story short, Jack, thank you. When you play these kinds of games it just reminds me of the years of fighting I've been doing, and it reminds me that I am much stronger than I give myself credit for. To those of you who may need help, take it from someone who has attempted several times, the light is there. Keep Fighting. Keep Living. Keep Loving.

[@aestheticyoutuber8992]

Just now re-watching this...I realize that many people around me think that I happy... But I'm really not. When I started to watch you Jack everything changed. I was happy. I smiled for real. No fake smiles. No cuts. No terrible thoughts. I felt stronger. I was so upset after my pop died. I have moved a lot in my life and I haven't got anytime with my family. I so happy that I still have you, Jack. You've changed my life so much. I'm so thankful that you haven't left yet. My whole family left me. Sorry if this is really long or a huge rant its just what Jack said made me more open and better about telling people about how I feel.

[@AlexM-Kaiser]

I'm really really sorry. No one deserves to go through what you have gone through l. But you still have us, and don't ever forget that. Please stay strong✌️👍❤️

[@GnoTheo]

Jacksepticeye, I just wanted to tell you thank you. I am an US veteran and I've lost my wife almost 4 years ago while I was attending my last year at a college after service. Since then, I've been working jobs left and right trying to forget the pain as I thought it was responsibility of mine as a veteran to stay strong and show fortitude to kids who are looking up to me. I finally broke down 6 month ago, I had to quit my job and avoided everyone in my life in complete solitude hoping that things will get better. I didn't want to show my weak side to everyone who has looked up to me as a veteran, but things are keep getting worse, sinking with no bottom. I began to lose all hopes of better tomorrow and lose all of courage to live on. Right after watching this video, I've reached out to VA for help, and I am setting up counseling tomorrow. Thank you again from bottom of my heart for giving me a courage I needed to take step toward right direction.

[@thinkpsalter3506]

I don't know if this will mean much coming from a stranger, but I believe in you. You can do this!

[@ohkittyohcat]

I'm so glad you've sought help and I'm proud of you for making it this far. You're stronger than you know (I know that sounds cliche, but it's true). I wish you nothing but the best.

[@CaptCozy]

Some think that asking for help, even as a veteran, is a sign of weakness. It takes someone with immense strength and a hope for things to get better to admit that things aren't okay. I'm not a veteran, but I've seen what its like to be at a dark place and feel like its not even worth trying to be happy again. I hope for the best for you. And know that getting help is an immense step to recovery, and you are doing right by millions of others by getting help. It can and will get better. Best of luck, friend.

Lettuce Tree exactly what I said

[@EAZZEE]

"Just hang in there, you're doing great. We're all very proud of you." I.... Really needed that. I didn't realize how much I needed that until I heard it. I didn't know just how much I needed to hear someone I look up to me tell me to hang in there, I'm doing great, and that he's very proud of me. I didn't know. I know it shouldn't mean as much to me as it does, but watching this channel really helps me keep going. It's helped me try to be more positive, it's helped me feel more comfortable with sharing how much pain I'm in with people that can help. I know I've said this many times before, but I'll say it again. This man is the best man to ever live. He understands how it feels to be in a dark place, and he wants to provide kindness and support for those who find themselves in need of it. He has so much fame, so much influence, and he's using it to better the world. He's not using it to his own advantage or his own personal gain, he's using it to help others. He's using the influence he has to make others happy. He gives so many people a reason to keep going, a reason to keep living. He gives ME a reason to keep going, to keep living. He makes me want to follow in his footsteps, to help make others happy. And I'm trying to get there, one step at a time. He always wants to show just how much he cares, and just how good things can be in life if you just keep going. He inspires me, he inspires US ALL. He's just such a wonderful, kind, caring, loving, and all-around amazing human being. He addresses these serious topics, and in such a good way at that. He understands. He cares. He listens. He's what I want to be. He's what makes me happy. He's why I keep living.

[@mmilcz833]

Just as I was watching this my boyfriend texted me about how shitty of a day at work he’s having. I talked to him for a bit and he seemed to really cheer up. I’m so happy we have each other for support and love. Relationships aren’t about being “romantic” or some other bullshit, it’s about making each other better, happier people. Before I met him I’ve been trying to beat depression for a year and I was looking for that final push to become truly happy. He helped me find myself and realize I’m not just an addition to my family or friends, I’m my own person, I deserve love and support and a special bond with someone. I never expected this out of a relationship and all I do now is motivated by my own choices, not what I think I should do. This lets me reflect on the worst times in my life and realize how far I’ve come. Everyone going through bad times now I support you and urge you to find what you need in life now.

[@warhawkdeltafox921]

I personally went through major depression. I attempted suicide which was the worst mistake of my life. I was being bullied and I was mentally unable to take it. When my parents took me to the phsyciatrists I was skeptical about it but after receiving so much moral support from friends, family, and others too, I started to see that life is so much more than survival and that it is so worth living. I am now on my way to a career in the Canadian army and I haven't been happier. Even though I still get depressed sometimes (because im still bullied) I continue to keep my head high and know that I have a purpose in this world and it's greater than just existing. Jack, you couldn't be more right

[@PurpleCloudsRainCoffee]

The other night I had a dream where literally everyone I cared about suddenly hated me and it was eerily realistic so I thought it wasn't a dream even after I woke up. In my dream my crush was the last person I talked to and then he told me I was the main reason that he was gonna do what he was about to do and then he killed himself and it looked so real.. I was so scared... Imagine watching ur crush kill themselves and say that ur the reason why. Imagine thinking it's real. Imagine seeing it in graphic detail. Then imagine waking up alone. And imagine thinking that it wasn't a dream in the first place. Oh and the whole time you have no internet so there's no way to confirm that it didn't really happen. Then imagine finally getting in contact with your crush only to find out they've tried to kill themselves numerous times before. Then they tell you not to worry about them. That's how my day went yesterday.

[@crispee_bills]

I'm really sorry that had to happen to you! Since IDK what to say for this um I'll keep this short. First off, I hope they're safe right now and if you can, give them support by just being there. I usually never have that and it hurts a lot. I hope you're both ok ❤

[@sarahreason7828]

Card I can understand how scary that must have been like you saw your crush kill him or herself and that it's most likely very horrifying cuz I don't know if this person is your friend I'm just going to guess that they are and that must traumatized you and I hope you told the person that this happened and that if they do ever think about this know that you care about them and you don't want them to hurt themselves or worse

[@jaysartescape7653]

This game was something that meant a lot to me when I played it, because for the past couple months, I’ve been in a very bad place, mentally. It was only until very recently when I was able to finally gather up the courage to ask my mom to let me go see a therapist. Part of the reason I was able to ask for help was because of Jack and the community. But anyway, onto the game. I got a very specific message from this game, but I don’t think I would have gotten the same message if I had played this game differently. When I played this, I missed the fridge the first several tries, and because of this, I wasn’t able to go to swains lane, and I didn’t even know that there was another place you could go. So I wandered through the game, and after only reaching endings where she died, I started to question if there WAS a “good” ending. But after several tries I was finally able to get to the ending where I had the option to survive. And that’s when I got my version of the message the game was trying to send. That even when it seems like no matter what you do, there’s only one outcome, that’s not true. There’s always something you haven’t tried. There’s always a path you haven’t thought of. There’s always something or someone out there to help you get through this, even if you haven’t found it yet.

How did you deal with depression?

[@ladyravenswood1999]

Good to know that stuff does help some people. I have been trying a lot of different medicine but they never worked for me. But my problem wasn't that I cry a lot, I can't remember when I actualy felt something happy or sad. Although, after 7 years I've recently gotten a new 'label'. Does Autism therapy help remembering how to feel happy? (No need to be worried though, I'm being watched all the time so guess I won't be leaving just yet! See, the happy mask still works online)

[@arcticsnowwolf5420]

*"Go seek professional help"* Is what everyone that said me. *"Talk to your parents to get medical treatment to help you"* Is what they said. But.. What would you do if you're still too young to go seek professional help? Your parents? What If they don't believe anything you said? I've been through this a lot, I know I should seek help, but what should you do if no one believes you? My parents think I'm just saying bullcrap that I saw in the Internet. But I've had depression and anxiety way before I knew it was a serious thing. I tried to talk this about my friends, but they don't know anything about mental illness. And when I explained to them they don't even care just one sentence and left. In the end I found friends that been through these things.. My closer friends, comments, youtubers, etc. And that gave me courage to fight through the darkness times because.. *"You're not alone."* Everyone been through those times, which is fine! Some won, some loss, but that's okay. Because as day passes I can promise you. *"You'll find a light to survive."* Whether it's a person, a book, a popstar, or even youtubers! Sure, good things come to an end, but so do bad things. So just stay strong.

[@Moosey-bp4er]

To the people who go through this stuff on a daily basis. Just hold on, life may seem like it only gets worse but hold on to the good and let the bad wash over you. I know a lot of people can’t just do that. And I’ve been there many times but take it from me when I say keep holding on. Things will get better, it may take some time but it will. Even if you think that it’s only gonna get worse, and most likely it will. But keep pushing through, I was there too. Thinking it only gets worse and worse. But then things changed. I met people that care about me majorly. People that have saved me from suicide on 5 occasions, I went through the better half of my life hiding from the real world. My own family didn’t know what was going on with me. But I pushed through. I kept holding on and worked on keeping the good and letting the bad wash over. And it worked most days but sometimes it didn’t. Still, I pushed through for 5 years before things got better. And now I’m happy. I’m a better person then I was before. I’ve grown as a person, I’ve become more social. So please when you think everything is crap... hold on to the truth. There’s always people there who want you to be there with them. Talk to them, talk to the people you trust. And in time things will get better

[@Nicole-hearthemouseroar]

Videos like this give me mixed feelings: I have considered suicide and self harm several times before, looking at both the pro's and con's, trying to logic my way through it. No one knows that I have felt like that, gonna keep it that way too, and I don't think it was depression. Watching these things reminds me of how many times I would find a quiet corner, sharp thing in hand, wondering what would happen if I pressed just a little harder... and all the times I chickened out and went back to scratching and biting. But watching these also reminds me that, if I had pushed a little harder, I probably would have never stopped pushing. I would never be writing this dumb comment. And I would never have been here long enough to meet my baby sister. I won't end this with a super sappy speech about 'how my life has been transformed thanks to this one video!' I am just gonna end with a simple, thank you. Edit: Fuck, I didn't think anyone would see this! I am surprised to say the least...

There was a time when I found sadness to be my friend because it always stuck around with me, it was there for me. Maybe it thought happiness was an illness out to get me, because I found out that I had felt pretty much the same until I realized that something wasnt right, a song that I heard on a speedpaint (I used to watch those a lot) and some of the words just kinda said something to me like.. "Heyy you havent noticed your friend over there? Its been trying to talk to you and befriend you for a long time and you havent even noticed it was there! Go on kiddo, go say hi!" like a parent telling you to say hi to your cousin or something. I then figured that happiness was just out to get me, sadness was there to protect me without realizing who may have been doing the real damage..

How? It glues me to my bed.

[@katedawg3351]

You don’t have to let sadness completely out of your life. If I let myself feel anything but sad every once in a while, o would become a toxic person who’s temper is short. If I didn’t cry when my grandad committed suicide, I would have fucking killed myself too for not being able to properly grieve someone I care about. Sadness and happiness are needed in tolerable quantities. People that are cheerful 24/7 and don’t talk about their emotions generally become the ones who are the most depressed.

[@LunAR-ic7uj]

[@AquaticEmber06]

Well said, Jack. This community is unlike anything I’ve ever found, and I don’t just mean on the internet. It really does feel like a family, and I am so, so grateful that we have carved this corner of the web out for ourselves. We support each other, teach each other, defend, learn, and grow with each other. You lead with a great example, Jack, and we’ll keep following it. One thing I realized recently is that PMA isn’t a movement or an action; it’s a mindset and a lifestyle, one that is always looking toward the horizon for that potential happiness, no matter what we’re feeling in the moment now. PMA isn’t about instantaneous happiness. It’s about never giving up.

Hi! Have you found someone to talk? Are you doing okay? Also your so strong for still having those positive thoughts inside your head :)

[@luistigerfox]

As far as the "happy pills" thing. I think that the negative light just came from the idea, that what the doctor said, along with everything else, was distorted through the lens of the main character's depression. A cynical, clouded perspective from the character on the offer of the medication. Not necessarily the opinion of the game or its makers.

[@amandajackson1541]

This is exactly what I came here to say.

[@clay.1310]

I didn’t realize how serious this matter could be, if you are depressed or you don’t think there’s anything left for you here, just know that nothing is worth your life. It does get better. Hang in there.

[@hanna3684]

*hang* in there

[@IudiciumInfernalum]

In my opinion the doctor offering pills says something about the motivations of the doctor. I get the feeling the game creator wanted to portray the doctor as someone that doesn't care, and just wants to give you pills instead of more comprehensive psychological/psychiatric help. Basically the doctor just wants to make money by handing out pills, and in reality doesn't particularly care about the patients or the outcome.

[@jamesmcintyre2676]

Sadly it was, and may still be, a common practice. The mentality of tossing pills at problems was done as a means of trying to treat people you either can't or just don't want to bother coaxing out of a depressed state. Sadly....and spoiler, things don't always end well when you do this. Often it leads to worse situations in many, a reliance on drugs, debt and running from your problem. Or worse. It is also a sad state of things, but the medical world (at least in the US here) is largely private business at the end of the day. Feels like the creator was burned on this sort of thing too, the doctor gobbling secrets all day and shilling out pills rather than trying to work people out of their problems and raking in the money during such.

[@willch.2259]

That was my mindset to it as well.

[@RoganSmith-is-a-skrub-lolz]

Many doctors want to do their job rather than necessarily help people. Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of therapists and psychiatrists etc that want to help people, but to them, it's still just black and white. Under 18, they'll try not to give you any pills and will instead fill you with lies and false hope, telling you that it's nothing that can't be solved, just things that have happened that if you talk about they'll suddenly get better. I guess, for some people, that may be true. But for a lot you need more than just fake, overused words to help you through. Doctors may attempt to help but you're just one person out of seven or eight billion to them. Shrug.

[@tropezando]

I agree. I've got various chronic medical conditions and have had good and bad doctors in several different fields, including mental health, and it is scary how two different doctors treating the same issues can have massively different levels of engagement, compassion, scope of knowledge, bias, burnout, and honesty. There are definitely doctors whose goal is to run out the clock rather than help patients, and think of people as hindrances rather than humans. I've got some stories, lemme tell you... it's really discouraging to people who try to be active in their care and be informed about their bodies to be dismissed or condescended to. Whenever mental health (or any medical) issues come up, a common refrain from people is a generic "see a doctor, get some help," but I think people should be specifically encouraged to "get *EFFECTIVE* help." Absolutely be willing to try various forms of treatments, but don't waste time and money on treatments that don't work, and people who can't (or won't) help.

[@kayladeangelis3490]

Streak the Indoraptor i had trouble telling my parents to because i couldn’t trust them enough to take it seriously. so i talked to my friends and i told one of my closest teachers and she helped me so much. tell someone you trust and talk it out with them. even if it goes on for hours and hours, just talk to somone. do things that make you happy. for me it was listening to music, playing sport or watching funny videos. idc if you’re a stranger to me, i’ll even talk to you. just keep going.

[@kennguin3797]

its those last few words "hang in there" that got me. I related so much to this game because when my grandfather passed, I lost a huge chunk of my life, someone that kept me afloat, someone that was like my best friend. When he passed, I spiraled out of control because I felt like I had no one anymore. How wrong could've i possibly been when this year life finally started turning around and going my way. But still, theres small episodes, and that cat, thats my girlfriend on a daily basis, supporting me and being there for me, while I try my best to do the same. I basically wanted to put this out there to say to people, it does get better. It just takes time.

[@hayamemichiko2564]

peterick._.child I just want to say/type that no matter how you look, gender, age, where you come from or what you do... You matter. No matter what other people say. You are not alone in this big wide world. You can always find someone to talk to! There is approximately trillion++ (I am not good with math) people in the world and you will find someone to talk too. Sometimes, you shouldn't keep everything to yourself, (except if it's about food) Sometimes, you need to let it all out to feel better. And for the love of God(s)! Don't hurt yourself! It's not good AT ALL! Every life matter. God give you a life for a reason, so don't go around throwing away your life! You must find that reason and live a happy life! Who cares about what people think about you! You are yourself and you have you own opinion. So, why bother go around and satisfy other people? We are special in our own way! Weird? No problem me too! Nobody is perfect in this world but we all have our own talent and special in our own way! Some people might look at you and see only your faults, but your true friends are those who can look past that and still accept your true nature. Some people don't cry because they want to seem strong but you know, people cry because they have gone through so much they can't handle it anymore but they don't give up. That's what's strong really is. Sometime you just need to let it all out. There will always someone that can listen to your story. And remember, we're all friends here and if you need a friend, you can always talk to me. PMA! - Hayame Michiko

[@rosedarkling]

Well, this hits home. I enjoy this game for what it is, and I've seen it a few times now. However, watching this now on June 2, it hits home. Yesterday, on June 1, I found out that the night of May 31 we lost a good young man that we work with. He was only 19 years old, and today is his birthday; would have been 20. He was a sweet soul - a great coworker, supervisor, and friend to all of us that worked with him. Anthony, may you rest in God's arms. We love and miss you.

[@bethanyseal3605]

I’m praying for Anthony’s family and loved ones right now. It’s so saddening to see a kind undeserving soul be gone, especially if they take part in your life every day. This is the time for you and your coworkers to work on your PMA, as Jack would say. Praying for his loved ones ❤️

[@cori_music]

I want to put in a note as well. Sometimes for some people suffering, they don't know that they're suffering until something happens that makes them realize what they're going through. For me, I had an incident happen in the eighth grade that spiked my depression to an extreme. I didn't know I had it until that incident happened. I've been living with my depression for about four almost five years now. I was surrounded by toxicity that made me hate myself and made me do things to my body that made people hate me even more. But up until this 2017-2018 school year, I had felt like complete crap and I faked that I was okay because I didn't want anyone to worry. When that school year started for me, I met the most amazing people that made me feel like I wasn't alone, that I was happy once again. I was laughing more, I was socializing much more, I was truly happy. These people that I've met are my second family, and I've told them many times that I wouldn't trade them for anything. For anyone who's going through something similar or something completely different, PLEASE know that you are NOT alone. There are people in the world that love you and want you to stay in this world. Don't cut, don't overdose, don't starve yourself, don't abuse your body thinking that you'll be better if you do, don't harm yourself. You are loved, you are beautiful, everyone loves you. The days may get dark, the days may seem lonelier than ever, but you will meet people that'll feel like home to you, and by god I hope you keep them close if they truly make you happy. And even if I haven't met you, know that I love you. I am proud of you. I want you to keep going. ❤️

[@CharlesHeardFCO]

Corray Music I knew that I hated my life before this, and I had many suicidal thoughts, and watching the end of this video yesterday made me cry because I felt comforted, even though I could never tell anyone. I don't want to, but I can tell strangers anytime, because I don't know them, people poke fun at me for my personality and weight among other things. I tried not to care, because, like this game, I didn't want anyone to know, that I was sad, I just put on a façade and hope that I fool everyone. But I can't live like this. The world to me is like one giant abusive relationship aimed at me. But I won't kill myself, I have too much live for, and it's not the jerks that make fun of me. I'll try to start telling some friends, but thank you for that inspiration, keep going. I will too.

[@Ethan-ws7db]

I lost my dad just a couple of days after Christmas 2017 to Suicide. I’ve suffered from the same depression and anxiety and same thoughts as he had since I was little due to genetics, and this video really hit home. I’ve wanted to just give up and just see whatever happens after I die. I’ve refused much needed medicine when I was 11-13 and I seriously regret now that I’m older. I’m almost 15 and I wish that maybe if I didn’t see depressed kids talking shit about the meds then maybe instead of getting worse like I’ve been I’ve gotten progressively worse. I can honestly relate to almost everything. The mask, people telling me they can’t help, the wish to just..die. It’s hard, but I’ve been trying to keep a positive mental attitude. I’ve started doing things that make me feel better about myself. Ive been working out because that makes me happy. The burning of my muscles and everything is like a temporary relief from every thing it’s a healthy destraction from my destructive mind. Instead of thinking about killing myself I think about the amount of sit ups or jumping jacks I’m going to do or how many calories I’m burning with every cling arm crunch I do. It’s hard,but honestly if it wasn’t for Jack and his PMA thing this year wouldn’t be doing shit. I’d probably just sleep way more than I do now. Which would be a lot considering I sleep almost 12 hours anyway. It’s still hard to wake up and I need to go back to therapy,but for now I’m doing what I can to survive

i hate being this way. i hate being alone. i hate waking up to no one. i hate laying in my bed knowing that i have no reason to get up. i hate being stuck in this loop of wake up, eat, then go to bed. i hate not being able to get help because of my parents disregarding my depression like it's a simple cough. i hate living with my mentally abusive family. i hate being in this world. i have scars. many, many scars. i'm constantly tortured by them every day. i don't blame other people for my scars. i don't blame my family, i don't blame the bullying at school. i blame myself, because i keep telling myself that it's stupid. but it's like a drug. your mind paints this portrait in your head that the numbness will be cured by the stinging on your fragile skin. and i believe it. however, after every single shock of pain it gives me, i regret it. i regret the decision i made to cause my own pain. i can't remember why i even did it in the first place. it's like i've fainted, and i've woken up with retrograde. i haven't gotten in-depth with my problems to anyone because i think that nobody will care. nobody will understand. nobody will take the time to listen. it's like i set myself up for failure. it's like the masks. they pretend they care. they pretend that they kow what i'm going through. THEY PRETEND THAT THEY CAN FIX IT WHEN THEY CAN'T. nobody can fix me. i'm broken. but i will stay strong so that i can help anyone else that DOES understand the cycle of misery... the fear of failure... the constant hate towards the armor that is their skin, the pain of feeling like nothing, the agony of believing that what they have gone through is pointless. i want to help them. and that's what i'm still here for. stay strong. keep your posture straight, get up out of bed today. you never know what's going to come out of today. take a chance. ♡

Churry Piez depression is a very deep hole that is hard to get out of. Depression is like torture, but no matter how much it hurts, people need to endure everything. Try focusing on the happy things more. Get some hobby’s, find any reason to get out of bed. Go on walks, go out with your friends, do whatever you think will help you.

[@novatheenby8779]

I'm going to open this by saying that I may not have been through what you've been through, and I may not be able to help you, but I just hope this makes you feel a tiny bit better. True strength does not come with size. True strength does not come with muscle or intelligence. True strength comes with not giving up even when faced with the most hardest of obstacles. True strength is not stepping off of the path to recovery, but it is to continue on it, whether you are alone or with those closest to you. True pain wants to take down true strength. Think of them like people. True pain is the thoughts in your head that will stop at NOTHING to destroy you from the inside out. True pain is the people on the outside who want to break you down and beat you up with their words. True pain will show up in the hardest of times, and it will only make things worse. But true strength is your friend, and always will be. True strength will always be there to argue with true pain, and they will continue to argue and wrestle until one of them gives up. True strength will not give up as long as you are there, because you are the only thing there to prevent that. If you don't give up, then true strength will always be there to take care of your wounds. Don't give up on true strength, because true strength would never give up on you. True pain may always come back, but that's why true strength will always be ready to fight for you.

"Should I stay in this world of sin and hatred ?" I always think about those two things.........but yet, Im still here, living, trying to put a smile on my face even if I have to fake........I try to make it a real smile. I try to not make the people that care for me worry.......I try not to use a mask to hide my true feelings....... but........ it sometimes doesnt work like that. Sometimes people think that just ending it all cures your pain.............it doesnt...........it doesnt work at all. All you do is make the people that cares about you feel lost, sad, upset...............And to be honest, I dont want that for them.

[@Creed_06_01]

I ended up crying, I've known people who have sadly passed away but I didn't know one of so well but I knew him long enough to call him friend, when my brother found out he was heartbroken and his depression has gotten worse and fear that one day I find him gone. Thankfully he has been given the help he needs but I still fear for him.

[@jaefast5684]

You hurt me. You broke me down. You never even tried to restore those pieces. You left me broken on the ground, shattered like fragments of glass. You left me daily and then came back. You reeled me in just to let me go again and make it hurt Just that much more. I'm depressed because of you. I'm stressed. Broken. Defeated. I'm suicidal and abused. All because of you. And yet... I hope you're doing well. I hope you're happy, That the new job you have is the perfect fit. I hope you've moved on though I couldn't. And I hope you still remember me. And all you did to me. Because I love you. And for some seriously fucked up reason, I think I always will.

[@rogue1175]

It will get better. Focus on yourself. Find an outlet that you love, whether it be art, exercise, music, singing, anything. Even if you're not great at it now, pour your heart and soul into it, and as your skills grow, so will you. You will learn to be happy doing what you love, and you will learn to be happy with who you are as a person. I believe in you, and no matter how hard things get, you can fight through them. You deserve to be happy.

Rachael yes I've struggled for my whole life with depression, and these things are part of my everyday routine. They do help, but this poem isn't really about the whole of my depression, just an aspect of my life that I carry around no matter what, whether I'm experiencing an episode of depression or not. Thanks for the tips, though. They really do help.

[@VinnyKitty]

For my poem in my English class I did "we all hide something behind a mask...i hide pain, sadness...i keep reliving that moment...it hurts everytime...if only you knew...you'd have my back" I first made it when my boyfriend broke up with me and I found it hard to smile I never shared it till we had to make a poem in class my teacher said that he loves it and the feeling in it but now it's even harder to smile... My best friend is in the hospital he was hit by a train and lost his leg and my ex (the person that pushed me to make the poem) I'm not allowed to talk to anymore because his parents are being too protective so I'm just having a rlly rough time in my life...

even in 2024 i come back to this video. it cut so deep when i first watched this, only right now i realised how much an old dead friend effects me. rip ben i love you, i hope i can join you soon

[@psychomechgaming9315]

This really hits home. One of my friends committed suicide a little over a month ago and ever since then I've fallen into into of those "darker times." I also have anxiety and paranoia, which adds on to all the pain I'm already in, especially with my significant other being less communicative. Watching this really helped. Lately, I've thought a lot about giving up, cuz it's hard to feel that people care when everything around you come crashing down. This video really helped me feel like I wasn't alone.

[@-ellie._.horn-]

❤️

[@icarusstudio6960]

definitely go speak to someone :) I'm currently training to be a clinical psychologist and there are people out there!

[@SamgirlSpeaks]

The fact that 4 of the 5 endings lead to suicide of some form or other provides a telling example of a persons psychosis when they've lost someone dear to them. What I appreciate the developers doing is creating the one survival ending the way they did. It wasn't a cure all or happily ever after ending, it was the one choice you could (and should make) among the multiple darker ones. There's always that one gleam of light somewhere. Always.

This may get lost in the flood of comments but I hope you see this Jack, you taught me so much about being a good person in life than any person I know. I become who I am today because of you. It's awesome when my life was going to shit, I saw a notification from you and when I watched it I just felt all my pain went away.

[@LolTrapp74]

The part at the clinic wasn't painting using pills as negative. It was saying that when you go through stuff like this and seek help the first thing the doctor tries to give you is pills instead of actually figuring out what's actually wrong(basically what's causing the depression or even the full details of the it)

[@pounds410]

Kyng Esco and when u talk to someone you know that it's just their job and it feels like a lie

[@skellish]

Kyng Esco Yep and the feeling that the doctor doesn't really care because its just their job. They're payed to help you.

[@cesspoolwolf4483]

I know someone who’s been through every pill on the market. He’s 27. He’s been depressed pretty much all of his life. He just now found a pill that sort of helps. The price, however, makes him even more depressed because of how much the medicine is even with insurance.

[@willbroad9439]

Kyng Esco Yes but this was like showing the girl the bird and going just have some meds. Not actually doing something to help and getting onto the level she was at. It's just an easy way out not actually doing something good. Yes it's good it'll help and all. But this was showing it as an easy option to get out of really helping.

[@ApsaraMenaka]

tbh: sometimes it is reasonable to do so. because the pills help to get through to the patient suffering from depression. if not for the pills the talking wouldn't work either.

[@Allie-Cat]

I think the part about the doctor and the pills was depicturing how she felt about the doctor and the pills, and i think she felt like the doctor didn't understand her, and probably thought that it wouldnt help.

[@jaderose5245]

I've been depressed for years....and it's so hard finding the strength just to wake up. I hardly eat...and I struggle to stay awake throughout the day. I've lost so many people...so many friends and family. No one talks to me anymore...I'm just...so tired... I love this video. The soft tone of voice you used in this video was so respectful. I've seen other KZbinrs play this and they never took it seriously. You handled this well. I appreciate it. I love you Jack.

[@novamidoriya]

Just know you are not alone Jade. You are safe here and surrounded by people who care and want to help. Please keep trying... and maybe try to eat more...? I know it’s hard and I’m sure you’ve heard this time and time again but it’ll help with your depression and fatigue, even if you only eat a little more... Please keep fighting, you got this! (I can understand if you want to ignore cheesy words from a random person off the internet, I just wanted you to see them)

[@mr_beatz5795]

I can’t imagine how bad that would have to be to live through that. I’m no professional but I can tell you that if you had the strength to watch this video, that little spark to cling to life is there, and that honestly makes me feel better already. Get some help if you haven’t already, and look for people that inspire you. And if you don’t have anyone irl who does that for you, find inspiration in this video, or this comment, or others. I don’t know you, or anything about you. I never will. But know that people don’t like see others suffer. I wish I could do more for you, but for now, I’ll do what I can. I hope you get better🤗

[@jaderose5245]

[@novamidoriya]

😊 Thank you

[@dakotahwaters9678]

I can never thank this man enough for what he's done for not only myself but for an entire community. He taught me that it's okay to be not okay. The first time I had watched this video, I started crying when he had started talking at the end of the video. I had just gotten through my first year of highschool and had lost a majority of my friends and was still learning who I was as a person. I was fighting with my narcissistic mother almost every night (still fight with her but I've been through loads of therapy and don't blame myself for her actions anymore) and I was ready to give up. But here I am years later and he was right, things did get better. I never would've met my boyfriend or reunited with childhood friends or met my nephew had it not been for his advice. So thank you Sean, you truly are an amazing human being.

[@oishiri9029]

Jack, after seeing this video and hearing your speech I realize something.. I realize that, no matter how sad and depressed you are, suicidal is not always the answer.. I experienced depression before and even now, and I'm 14 yrs old, I was depressed because I always thought of my self that I'm the most useless guy on our family and even at other people... And I felt like nobody cared about me and nobody really needs me in my life, because first of all, when I'm sad, I mean so sad, nobody even my family approached me and talking to me until I feel better, so I just hide my sadness cause I think it will be better if I kept it from myself... But my depression gotten worse and worse and telling myself I wanted to suicide.. But after watching your videos and other youtuber's videos, I learned that we humans need to be strong, and if no one cared about you, someone will.. and, we humans, worth living... God support us, God is always here... We need to hold on and don't let go.. Life is short, so spread the good memories, God bless you all!!

[@raquelbrito7555]

Dansu Keep fighting

[@edemwolf1226]

Keep fighting, I can relate to hiding my sadness, I'm so used to being the 1 to hold my friends up that I tell myself if I fall, so will they...and I've gotten a bit better at opening up, but I've been going thru a tough time, I have wanted to commit suicide or hurt myself....but on April 27, 1 of my friends ran away. I later found out she ran away with a gun...2/3 weeks later, I found out that they finally found her....she was dead...and it's been really hard for me, but it made me realize just how badly it would hurt those around me if I were to follow down the same path. It's hard and I still cry about her, but it's getting better. U just gotta keep it head up and keep going, try to find someone u can open up to, it helps alot, and if u ever want to hurt urself, try drawing instead, that's a method that REALLY helps me and has kept me scar free.

[@zaneys7473]

Dansu hi man good speech and I have felt what you have felt it’s horrible

[@awesomedawson853]

I feel the same way

[@saeedbawazeer9636]

May you have strength to continue living, and to give strength to others as well But you don’t have to bear the sadness alone, your family probably would support you if they knew you were going through tough times, so speak to them or even one of them because family is family and they really care about you

[@aveywavey7172]

There has been a lot going on in my life lately, and I really do feel like giving up. But I wont. I will never hit that give up button because even though crappy things happen, i will never give up. No one else should too. I understand it. Its not easy to keep living when your world has flipped upside down. But everyone who is struggling, I know its hard to think about, but it will get better. My favourite quote by Jack is one I live with every single day. "Everything will be alright.... Maybe not today.... Maybe not tomorrow.... But eventually...." And its true, it will get better. So all of you out there who are struggling, please dont give up. We are all in this together. We will all help each other get passed our pain. We are allowed to be sad, depressed, angry with what life throws at us, but dont throw away your potential, your life, your loved ones. It will all be okay. We're in this together.

This message is so, so important. And I really admire how Jack has never presented PMA as slapping on a fake smile. It's okay to have bad days. A positive mental attitude does not mean a facade. It just means reminding yourself that things can and will get better, encouraging yourself, having charity for yourself. Saying "It's okay. I'm not a bad person for feeling this way. I'm a good person. I can do this. There is light somewhere, and things will get better. Maybe not today, but eventually." Thank you from the bottom of my heart for spreading this message, Jack.

[@paranrmlgrl]

The clinic part hit me really hard. I’m currently going through a divorce. So, not I’m not dealing with an actual physical death, but the death of the future I had in my mind with my children. Ive tried to go see therapists, but I can’t due to personal financial and insurance reasons. The mask cracking thing is exactly how I’m feeling right now. I have a mask on. I’m terrified. I’m sad. I’m worried all the time. I try to stay positive. It’s hard. I’ve fought through the suicidal thoughts (from when I was younger) and I’m not dealing with them now, but the whole idea of having to be “happy” all the time is draining/exhausting. Just know that there is life on the other side of your thoughts. I know. It may not be what you think it should be, but it can be amazing. I have learned that I am stronger than I thought I was. And, yes, I was on “happy pills” for a while. There is NOTHING wrong with that if you need it. Anyway, I’ve rambled enough. I hope everyone reading has a wonderful day. You are important. You are special. You will make it through this. I did and still am - for what it’s worth. Hang in there.

[@charlottep3165]

I am a child of a recent divorce and I just want you to know that your children will always love you. no matter what they will always love you. even if you find someone else or don't down the road they will always love you. don't doubt yourself or lose yourself. you just remember that you have to do this for your kids, you have to keep going for your kids. through the happiness and sadness they will be there for you and love you. and things will get better. that I can promise. you just have to get there.

[@HMAngler]

Thats what my mom used to call em, "happy pills". All they did was make me feel like a mindless zombie. I'd walk around school wondering if it was still worth it. For along time I thought the pills wear supposed to make me tolerable to others, because when i was sad my mom would tell me i needed to take my pills.

Thank you so much for these kind words. I am so sorry that you are going through this from your perspective. I can only imagine what you (and my kids) are going through, which is making this harder I think - because I can't relate. I can say, from the parental perspective though, that no matter what you feel about your parents at the moment, the same way you say that my children will always love me no matter what - it's the same about your parents. I'm sure they are doing what they believe is right for you. It may not seem like it all the time, but it's true. I'm here if you ever want to chat, hun. :)

You made a good point, I was on at least 20 antidepressants since I was about 7 and non of them worked, they actually made me worse... What tends to help me is distracting myself from the real world, I draw, I make videos here on KZbin, I take care of my pets (6 tree frogs, 2 skinks, 1 toad, 1 nute, 1snail.) I have been dealing with depression since I was 4 or 5 but I was on meds since I was 7-16 and I'm now 18 gonna be 19 September 26...
