have you ever thought about taking your own life yes the sergeants found uh a noose in my closet that I was ready to [Music] things no no no no I have for sure yes is that something you feel comfortable sharing yes I have been in really really rough water and the thought was this is a way out of it there's been moments where I've definitely felt the pressure of Life feel like I was not meeting expectations of my parents so I just obviously was feeling like a failure and that my life was also just going to be a constant failure you ask yourself why you know do I deserve this suppressing all your deep deep down where nobody can find them there are no problems there's just weakness I often feel like I am always like swimming and sometimes I just get so tired of like stroking the you know the water to keep my head above have you ever considered committing suicide I have attempted uh twice but it's something I'm actually I'm very open with talking about cuz I think if we want to normalize mental health that means we have to have the uncomfortable conversations about it I think we all hit low moments in our lives that make us think about where we're at you have to talk about it with somebody and be honest about it there's nothing wrong with having those those thoughts or feelings it's very normal I think guys are taught to just kind of tough it out to be a man you got to be strong be the main like rock for the family suck it up being a man like you just couldn't show your feelings was really like one of the biggest things that got me grown up yeah I would fall and Bruise my knee and I would be like ow my doubt would like slap me or kick me and be like what are you doing just be strong have you ever considered committing suicide no it's good yeah no haven't no personally I have never that is deep cuz my dad committed suicide you know what I mean when I was 10 years old and I seen the pain that inflicted on my family like I wouldn't want to do that to my family I created a a very strange rule around the fact that now I can't ever do it since my my uncle took that slot of suicide I can't now be another person in the family to just do that when I have clear evidence of how it affects everyone have you ever considered committing suicide yeah yeah multiple times I think all Queer people have contemplated that probably as a prob like like 14 15 yeah I had a pretty rough adolescent in my case growing up um homeschooled and fundamentalist Christian in a environment when I you know didn't yet know I was queer and that was a pretty tough environment for me a gay kid coming into my own not really knowing how to handle that lots of depressive and Suicidal Thoughts I have not no I'm fortunate to say that I really haven't no I have and I come from a very typical Asian household who's like a like Asian tiger mob who's like really high expectations I was pretty sad at the time have you ever thought about ending things uh yeah I have not no I I have I have never considered it yeah yeah I um yeah yeah I have I mean I've known people that have like quite a few people that have done it I'm getting kind of numb to it which is totally sad there have been times where I felt like really like in a like a hole you know just thoughts of like being on a crosswalk and being like I wouldn't mind if a car hit me I have not no no I haven't yes once I think I was in like Middle School like I was bullied in school high school I was uh I was dealing with some depression that never really was treated it was during the pandemic I was depressed living alone for the first time I was working multiple jobs I wasn't taking care of myself I was stressed about everything about life and I was way too afraid to share that struggle with anybody yes do you feel comfortable talk talking about them yeah I think it's good that we do talk about it nowadays until we start getting honest and realizing just because I have these thoughts um or I've acted on them doesn't make me um a bad person it doesn't make me a sad person or a sick person just means I've went through some [ __ ] you know and um I'm okay with that and I'm okay talking about it hey we want to thank better have you ever considered committing suicide yes struggled with those kinds of thoughts honestly all the way until I came out as trans I essentially I grew up Mormon so I didn't really have any anything to like showcase that like trans is an option um I just knew that I hated p in and I hated dresses and I would do anything to get them muddy and dirty but there was just something that didn't feel right um so for a long time I felt very uncomfortable in my body and just wanted to be out of it have you ever considered taking your own life yeah yeah definitely thought about it no I think life is too valuable yes there was that one point where I just wanted to give up I definitely I've had a a complicated road with depression and suicide as a kid dealt with a lot of childhood trauma depression and I wasn't comfortable letting my friends know all of my like problems I just wanted to get away from it to my mind that was the easiest way out it was me letting go and being able to finally let go and release all these emotions it was a beautiful gift I could give myself to cry throughout and to not worry about what other people thought but it was more so I finally was taking care of me sometimes you got to just kind of work through it and and have those emotions come out I definitely should cry more I don't like crying cuz it makes me feel weak makes me feel less of a man I feel like it's very uh common like analogy is like shaking up a can of soda and you you know you release all the pressure and it's like it'll be fine have you ever thought about taking your own life yeah probably multiple times at one time I took a lot of pills um hoping that I died one of my closest friend she uh just broke up with her boyfriend and she couldn't find a job and then she jumped out of the building once I learned that I I was also very sad I was thinking about maybe I should go with her together uh because why didn't she tell me about all this have you ever considered suicide both considered it and tried it I was like 12 years old and like I just felt like this urge like I just didn't want to be here anymore what advice to for people who are having those thoughts reach out please reach out for help honestly like the hardest step that you're probably going to take is asking someone for help no matter who it is I am you know here to tell you that that is something you could absolutely get past I've experienced it I'm proof that it gets better never give up on yourself because you would be surprised how quick things will change nowadays I'm more accepting of when people are like offering help that I'm actually willing to take people up on it just say hey I'm going through a rough time can I talk just talk be open listen is a big one talk about emotions feelings talk about things that we don't want to a big thing was therapy for me abuse therapy personally has been very effective I still sometimes seek treatment if I need it I know that I reach out to my best friend the night before I had attempted and she was the one who like reached out to my family and being like hey hey this is not good you should do that and I'm very grateful for her for that so I think things like this like what we're doing now and bringing voice to it is really important and can help a lot of people but I don't believe that anybody is better off dead that's not going to be what my story is I'm not going to allow that to to be how this whatever this is wraps up life gets absolutely better with time and it's okay to feel and it's okay to heal and we're all loved we're all loved and I hope you all can love the reflection that's looking at you right now cuz I know you're beautiful

80% of suicides in America are men.
Talk to other men.
In the words of my infantry vet friend who finally got help for his PTSD this year
“Dudes just get it, dude.”
I lost my cousin to suicide and seeing my family’s reaction to the doctor telling them he didn’t make it haunts me to this and though I’ve attempted what made me not go through with it was knowing my family will not be able to bear it so no matter what I have to find whatever I have to do . God had truly been my rock through so much that goes on
To anyone who's suffering depression, anxiety, insomnia and other mental health problems, you are not alone. I feel you. You are so brave. You are doing so well. I'm proud of you. I'm sending you a virtual hug ❤ what helped me get out of that dark spiral was journaling and mindfulness from Shift Your Mind by Alexander Brooks. The anxiety that used to control my whole day barely shows up now!🙏❤
To anyone who's suffering depression, anxiety, insomnia and other mental health problems, you are not alone. I feel you. You are so brave. You are doing so well. I'm proud of you. I'm sending you a virtual hug ❤ For me, it wasn’t therapy or meds that helped the most — it was reconnecting with myself. I started using the exercises in Shift Your Mind by Alexander Brooks, and it made me feel human again. The anxiety that used to control my whole day barely shows up now! 🙏❤

The video wont play….
Hi! I've been very interested in psychology/mental illnesses, especially in men. So if you would like to tell someone your story, you could! Don't worry about your story being too long, take your time, I'll read everything 🙂
+ you can always ask me questions, i'm an open book 🙂
I'm tired of the depression stuff always being presented from the positive framework. Like give me somebody who's unapologetically going through shit and won't be shy about telling the world their experience with how people will run tf away when you actually reach out. Because ngl I feel like that's how depression is actually like for most people. It eats you alive and nobody gaf about you
I feel the same way I been having mental illness for 26 years I thank the reason am still hear because I love God to much but am suffering but I have faith God bless you all say strong.
This is so returded 🤡🤡🤡
I’m gonna lie I feel like taking my life everyday most days
Thought about it after my TBI, and physical therapy and struggles, I realized Im too stubborn and shook it off.
Had a buddy who killed himself…hard pass.
As I watched this video. Soon as they asked that question. tears came rolling down. It always affect me. Sticky subject. Really makes me think that sometimes I'll try again😢..scary just to think about it
Lads, walk tall. You are fundamentally no weaker, no slower, no less powerful than any men you see around you. Its just we've lived different lives. You can all become what you want to be.
Start working on yourselves lads. If you dont feel like a fuckin force of nature, take a hard look at the way you live your life. You gotta survive in this world and it is brutal. Any thoughts of giving up are an illusion, in reality you don't have a choice, you can't quit. Look at all these dudes who tried. You will be living your life for a long fuckin time, you better make the fuckin best of it.
The odds are against you. Armour yourselves, forge yourselves into blokes who are useful, give people a reason to look at you twice, make yourself into someone who is respected at face value. Your life, the life of your mother's son, might literally depend on it.
As much as it might not chime with your values, hit the gym. Eat meat. Cut your hair if you can stomach it. Train. Adopt discipline, build things, and earn your money with graft, the way real men always did. Be proud of yourselves. No one else is going to do that for you.
A mans life is often brutal, cold and lonely, as it always has been, regardless of whether we're cavemen or 21st century guys. But we are the heroes of our own story. We have the power to do something about it.
Take care of yourselves. That is your number 1 responsibility. You can never be useful to others if you're not in shape and mentally switched on.
I promise you it is so much easier to live as a man than half a man. Daddy might not have given you that lesson. But you can teach yourselves.
I attempted when i was 17 and happy that ive failed. Although ive never been able to go to thst dark place of doing it to myself again, I have been down the road of if i died today that would be nice. But, then i remember my kids and it gives me strength because they deserve a father. I just dont know how to balance my priorities and my happiness….
Why did they sneak in a lesbian woman?
every day. every fucking day.
when will we get more or these
Okay hold on ima be real just for a second. This is going to be a touchy subject so please if you dont wanna read any further please dont scroll down
Having "trans" women on here, i feel, is a little misleading for the title of this video. Not to say that the problems dont matter but the title of the video is for mens suicidal thoughts or not women.
