I feel so horrible because I can’t help him the way he has helped me. His videos always added a light to my world when it was dark and the fact that I can’t do that for him makes me feel so sad.
I think the best thing we can do is remember that he isn’t always happy and we can’t always expect him to act happy and silly and funny all the time; I think what he needs is support and understanding that he has his own issues to deal with and we shouldn’t push him to make us content everyday to keep us happy when he isn’t -I hope that makes sense my brain is a whirlwind rn, but let’s all just do our best to support him and his channel no matter what and in any way we can :) even just liking, watching and spreading love for him and his videos can help, and also accepting that Sean isn’t the person he always seems to be, and that’s ok.
The best gift you can give to anyone at any time is your understanding and patience. Both when they’re doing well and when they are not. Seán’s message of PMA is proof of that. You don’t have to be happy to be positive. So we as a community, no matter how we are doing individually, can give that to him. He doesn’t want us to feel bad for him; he wants us to relate to him as a human being.
This video conveyed your hardship very well. I hope you know you were never as alone as you showed in the video. There were always millions of people wrapping their arms around you at all times.
The isolation, the panic, the guilt, the pressure, seeing a part of yourself frozen in time... I'm always shocked when reminded other creators feel this too. The cinematography in this is just as powerful as the message. Well done.
watching Sean watch his old self like that honesty gave me chills. I loved that era of Jacksepticeye but I also love that it ended and Sean started taking time for himself and started putting out content he liked, I hope he knows we don’t expect him to put on a persona anymore
This feels more like reality than anything. Honestly it just shows how badly he needed a break. Whatever it is your health comes first and as much as we all wanna see him back.. I'd be happier knowing he is happy and healthy.
I agree everyone needs a break everyone and they need to make sure it’s about them not there viewers we can wait to watch it’s ok to take time for yourself
I can really see how it really is for him now… and man I wish I could do something for him! He has brought so many smiles and laughs to us all! We really can’t thank him enough!
I really hope he gets better soon! It’s amazing to also see so many creators show their support, it really makes it feel like a community. This extends to everyone, be safe out there, and there will always be someone to catch you when you fall. Just let them
you have honestly inspired me, so many times. when i needed motivation to lose weight, i ran every day listening to “All The Way” on repeat. one of my biggest accomplishments and you were there for every step. when i needed company late night at work, and school, your videos were there. thank you, Jack.
I relate to this on so many levels. The depression, the isolation, the guilt, the looking at videos/pictures of yourself from a younger time and feeling empty inside. I've enjoyed your content from when you were a young, loud, boisterous lad, and I enjoy it now. I wish I could give that feeling to you, as well. I hope you're alright, Jack-a-boy.
Man, the more I see Sean expressing himself seriously, the more I like it, and the more I want of it. Keep it up, good sir. And of course, wishing you healthy body and mind.
So in the beginning there’s this scene where Jack is running at night, and I love how his anxiety is represented not just by the weird UA-cam autofocus thing (great use of that feature BTW), but also by the aspect ratio narrowing down - the world literally closing in on him. At first, Jack was able to fend off the asthma attacks with inhalers, but later down the line we see the same narrow aspect ratio come back. Except this time it doesn’t go away. The anxiety stays and it becomes a part of Jack’s life. Hours turning to days turning to months, all while being juxtaposed against shots of the outside world in a wider aspect ratio. And only once the lockdown lifts Jack is able to overcome his fear, with the black borders gradually thinning. Yet there’s still the watchful eye of the audience…
It just goes to show that we are just people, people who need breaks, people who need food and water, people who need time to themselves, because we aren't this perfect image of what people see us as and we arent machines, and that is what makes this so good. Thank you, Sean
Cried watching this. Cried for the fact that I cannot help a man who's made me laugh everyday, who's made me smile and cheered me up through his videos, his personality, his tweets and his realness. I love you, Jack, and I still probably can't comprehend what you've been going through but I genuinely hope you get through it strong and I wish you the very best of luck in life. You're like a dad I never had, might sound weird but, that's how much I respect you and your work, man.
Yesterday- October 21st, 2022- marked exactly _15 Months_ since Seán gave us this masterpiece and I still think people do him a tremendous disservice by only seeing Bo Burnham’s _Inside_ or some other creator’s work when they watch it. I go back to this video all the time. Not because it’s some general expression of COVID lockdown or an inspiration from Inside (no offense towards Bo Burnham). *THIS SEÁN MCLOUGHLIN’S PERSONAL STORY!* _This is HIS ASTHMA! IT’S HIS DIGESTIVE ISSUES!_ This was but a mere fraction of what _he_ had to go through! Not anyone else.
I almost feel guilty for not watching Sean’s videos that much anymore this guy was a HUGE part of my childhood especially the happy wheels series. We love you Sean always and forever
I remember being about six maybes and I remember getting my first tablet and I remember first discovering UA-cam and Jack has always been a great guy and just like you said I almost feel guilty for not watching much of him anymore When I get my tablet I think I’m going to go on his channel and watch some of the series
@@hattricklaine4463 very true I always come back every now and then and make sure Sean is ok especially since his fathers passing and the trolls who thought it was funny to comment shit like “join him” and “he’s in hell”
Man, I felt so much of this, you often don't see the difficult side of this life path and you showcased so many of the dark emotions perfectly. Beautifully done Seán this was pure art.
Dre comments on Sean's post to be supportive. Dont tell him what he need to play, if he chooses to play it then he plays it. Dont be that guy. Its putting a bad reputation on your sholders
Man I think everyone didn't watch entire video and leave Yes I think he does because after every video's he posted he commented 1 second after so I think it's a copy-paste
years ago, I think it was "That Dragon, Cancer" where Jack said something along the lines of "I don't think I've ever been depressed seriously, I mean I've been sad but..." I can't help but to think you have better I see standing of it from this video and where you are now, just remember we're all here for you through and through. Best of wishes to you
Took me a while to take this all in. This has to be the most relatable bit of content and hits hard for everyone; especially fellow creators. Sean, you have blazed the way for so many of us, are the most genuine human as I have ever seen at every single VidCon we chatted. Take your time to find you and if it's no longer in content or at this pace or on this platform - that is fine too. We appreciate you.
Yes yes yes yes yes exactly, Always supporting you Sean no matter what you do, whether we're there for the journey or not, just always wishing for your happiness and health.
It sucks that you basically have to rely on inhalers and other medicine almost all the time. I feel bad, and I wish everything good to you and your health, Sean👍
i'm so proud of creators like sean and bo burnham for expressing their vulnerability and pain to us. for not suffering in silence anymore. thank you, sean, for this amazing, personal, eye-opening film
EVERYONE PLEASE HELP ME CLEAN THE REPLY SECTIONS! IT HAS BECOME A SERIOUS ISSUE AND WE NEED TO REPORT THEM SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN SAVE JACK AND ALL OUR EYES. please DO NOT reply If someone has a horiffic username! because when you reply it gets highlighted so please delete them and report the scum by pressing the 3 little dots on the right of their comments! *i know i'm spamming this but I see it too often and it makes me sad*
This shows that you never truly know what people are going through and that the people who put the most joy in the world aren’t always feeling joy themselves
@Ronin how exactly? You’ve never once seen this mans true self the only part you see is the one he shows you. You never know what’s going on in someone’s life
Powerful video. I do love the final shot of heading out into a bright sunny world again, leaving the camera behind. It's hopeful and contrasts well with the dark tone of the rest of the video. Really well done man
Man Asthma fucking sucks man. The absolute primal fear of waking up and not being able to breath is one of the most terrifying feelings I have ever felt. On top of that having to then sort your brain out enough to find your inhaler is like a irl quick time event. I really feel you man, I don’t suffer from it anymore but I remember the feeling and will never forget it. Keep fighting it man, much love Edit: holy shit man the likes
Sean is the kinda guy that works harder than all of us to entertain. Always putting the audience before himself and his health. I’ve so much respect for you man. You’ve earned everything you have and you deserve to take care of yourself
The borders closing in without me ever noticing was the scariest part of it all. I know how it must've felt to be so isolated, so concious and feeling so trapped inside. So I'm glad that you've made a hell of a production out of that! Anyways, take care jack our boy. I loved this film, and we're here for ya!
Wow, I don't think I've ever watched anything quite like this that said so much without saying much at all. Incredibly well done. As many other people have said already, if you ever need any help I'm always around to do whatever I can and I genuinely mean that.
I'm pretty sure Jack just showed us what most UA-camrs feel but just never really tell their viewers and that's one of the things that I'm frightened about.
Well this was also about him being sick and not having as much energy as he used to and having to come to terms with that, if i understood it correctly.
Damn, seeing all the body language too. Even though he didn’t speak, his movements spoke volumes. The leg bouncing, the hand rubbing, the hands shaking, those are all signs of anxiety. Just.. damn man. I hope you’re doing okay and/or getting better!
This hit… really deep. To me, it’s the sense of despair you feel creeping up on you as the days blend together and you pretend that you’re okay but it’s really not okay. You can’t think. You can’t feel. You can’t change. It’s endless.
Damn…he really showcased his struggles I think in the best way he could. I’m not going to lie, I almost understood it better than if he had just said “this is what I’m going through”. It helped drive the point through.
@Nathan Stuart for how dense you are that you believe saying that is fun, you dont know how sensitive that is, you dont deserve to watch this man, nor should you make fun of trauma, so please leave
PLEASE CONSIDER THE TOPIC ABOUT UYGUR GENOCIDE IN THE CHINESE AUTONOMOUS DISTRICT SKINJIANG !!!! people are killed there, women are raped, pensioners and disabled people are beaten and starved (everyone is starved and tortured there), and the children are brought up with the PRC and taken away from their parents, there Muslims' rights are violated, they are forbidden to read prayers and look at one point, for this they are beaten with an electric shock (electric shock) women are sterilized and forcibly given in marriage to Chinese generals !!! please, if you want to help the Uighurs, then spread information about the genocide! there may be grammatical errors (I used Google translator) and if you doubt the reliability of the information, you can find it yourself, write in Russian on UA-cam "Uyghur genocide / ... and watch at least three videos to be sure, and you can also find a small part information in Google about the end of the camp in China. damn, please do not send a complaint for spam, this is not for my channel, but for the sake of Blagovo business🙏
The nurse in me is feeling helpless watching this: anxiety, depression, panic, asthma exacerbating anxiety, the meds making you all sorts of jittery unfold. This spoke volumes. I hope you are getting a better handle on all that has been thrown on you. The music at the end seems like you’re literally able to breathe easier. We’ll be here. Always.
To be honest I was scared it was just me during the quarantine I've had for the first time in my life panic attacks, obsessing over intrusive thoughts, feeling like I'm wasting my life if not doing something productive or practicing the stuff I want to do then college happen, I failed my first semester on my second year cause I was not focused on my work right im trying to make up for this summer has helped me a lot when quarantine was uplifted, I asked other family members if they were suffering the same, when I went to visit my aunt for a little bit and as we were leaving she almost teared up the isolation was getting to her too
I know you'll probably never see this but thank you Sean. Thank you for everything you've done and thank you for showing this to us. If you need to stop doing UA-cam in a more permanent sense, we will understand. And if you do go, thank you for all of the content, laughs, crys, and best times of my life. Thank you for helping all of us, please help yourself now.
The camera at the end, I think it’s meant to represent us. Obsessively watching and waiting, always wanting more. I can’t imagine the amount of pressure the audience puts on any UA-camr. It’s really haunting imagery and really makes me think. We as an audience need to be less demanding and understand the person on the other side of the screen is a human being with their own life and their own unique circumstances. Many of these entertainers brought us entertainment during quarantine and never really got a proper break to process what was going on in their own lives. Sean had digestive issues and probably had COVID that exacerbated his asthma. I’ve been subscribed to Sean for a very long time and I don’t think this man has ever slowed down and given himself a proper vacation or just time to think. Sean if you’re reading this enjoy every moment of your time off. Whenever you’re ready to come back whether is 1 month or 1 year we’ll all be here supporting you on both UA-cam and Reddit.
@@the_exodusrex3385 Uhhh, no. Pretty sure it's exactly what the commenter described. Maybe it was inspired by Inside but it wasn't a reference Sean is a real person you know?
@@xneonknight Have you seen Inside? That's a direct pull from it. I have no doubts that it's meant to represent what the commenter says it does, but I'm almost certain it's a reference to inside. Sean has spoken many times about watching and enjoying the special, and this short film is littered with references to it.
i cant POSSIBLY think of a more understanding, healthy, loving community then jacks. seriously.... look at jaden animations community and how they treat her after all she has done... its disgusting and sickening. then look at jacks. he has millions of fans still subscribed and still loving EVERY video and watching to the end even if he decides to take a break and leave youtube for days, weeks, months.... jacks fanbase is one of if not THE most understanding and caring fanbase i have EVER seen. the fan base was built on compassion, understanding, and mental health. now..... im not saying sean is being an ass for making this video, ANY celebrity has very different view of the world then an average person. living a life of constantly needing to put on a smile for the camera and constantly being funny and working everyday to put out something new is a very VERY hard thing to do and should be respected. but jack is very lucky to have the fanbase he does and a fan base that has stuck with him for so many years helping not just the channel but working as a "family" to help the world be a better place. if jack is feeling like he needs a break from the grind then everyone will respect that choice and know he has MORE then earned it for the YEARS of dedication to his fans.... but not everyone can make that choice sometimes even tho they SHOULD. i respect sean for making a video that shows just how scary it can be when your stuck in a loop like that and how lonely it can make you feel
@@TheUnderscore_ Done and I hope they get suspended or banned from YT, cause even though I haven't seen the replies just the single video on their channel is screwed up enough.
5 and a half minutes in and tears are running down my face. The emotions in this are so real, because they're my emotions too. At 5:38 when I saw the sertraline, I just smiled with tears running from my eyes and said "Hey, I take those too." I don't even know what to say really, but you existing means a lot to me. I'm gonna keep watching the video now, I just had to stop and write this for a minute. I don't know why.
The main thing about this that really gripped me is the overwhelming sense of loneliness in the video. Not a single other person but Jack/Sean appears here. Honestly, it's better to call him Sean at this point because this is one of the most real things, so to say, I've ever seen him upload, and I've watched him for years. The constant loop, the loneliness, the medical problems, it really conveys just how much he's been going through. Best of luck to ya, you screamy bastard.
Sean, I’m so sorry about everything. We’re here for you. And honestly, fuck everyone who isnt. I can guarantee your father is 100000% proud of you. And so are we. You’re an incredible person. Take all the time you need. But you’re not alone.
These periods really make you aware of how grateful you should be if you're healthy. I've been struggling with isolation and bowel cramps (something i believe seán went through as well) for the last 22 months and i admire how this video brings the struggles to light.
Jack keeps mentioning in almost every gameplay series how much he loves environmental storytelling. There is so much of it in this video, every detail feels like it was meant to be exactly there, even though you won't see everything from the first time Go rewatch this video a couple more times, it's worth it I promise!
Yea I was going to say something similar along those lines but its a lot like the anime movie silent voice which has a lot of environmental storytelling.
That whole short film was insanely gripping. The way the emotions were portrayed, and the camera techniques used made this hard to look away from. I also almost cried, so-
Dude! Such beautiful, subtle and precision work! Masterfully composed from start to finish. Cannot wait to see what you write / create / direct next. Bravo!!!
I was born With (insert some breathing desease) and i cant persue my dreams because off that is to join the Swedish defense force (försvarsmakten) and i hated myself because off it but now i persue animation because that’s the only other thing im good at 😔
Evap it's well intended but it feels like saying to a homeless person "hey everything will be alright" without guiding them to the right resources. But since this comes off as me becoming an asshole I will say that it's hard to change get out of a negative cycle of physical and mental mindset without the proper healthy mindset to navigate the negative emotions.
That clip of him quietly using his inhaler during a stream.... like yeah, that's what it's like. Ruled by an illness but at the same time weaving it into your normal, and a huge part of the time no one else ever even knows. We get so good at hiding our unhealth that it comes as a shock when we actually say we're chronically ill out loud
Honestly, as a person that grew up with asthma as a kid and was fairly active, playing soccer and golf etc., I really didn’t mind asthma all that much. I personally don’t think it’s that bad but maybe your experiences are different.
I'm aware it's not so bad for everyone, but speaking as a person from a family of weak lungs that don't have access to inhalers, it is a big part of my life and i do have to hide it in order to keep from freaking people out
@@filip9564 possibly? My abuser is just the kind of person who doesn't believe science is real unless SHE personally discovered it (on the internet 🙄) and her stance is "all steroids bad" even though i have multiple conditions where steroids are the main treatment
I'm so sorry you went through this experience. You were courageous to put this out there. You are there for all of us, we are here for you too. Don't forget to reach out for help--no shame, only away to feel better. You, Sean are appreciated.
Jack, whether this is your “goodbye” or the start of a long break, I just wanted to say that you will forever be a legend in millions of hearts. There are those who have been horrible to you, but just know you are a hero to many, many more. Stay strong Sean
I hate life i wish could take a all his gaming money he got from doing nothing🤣🤣 i have to work my whole life🤣🤣🤣 for small amounts of money and never have funwhile he is a millionaire 🤣🤣🤣🤣 he can do whatever he wants my father could die rn and nobody would care and i couldn't take off for 15 months or i would lose everything🤣🤣🤣 i can never do what i want to do while he can travel the entire world with millions and buy whatever he wants i get to work my entire life until retirement and so will you i will never have a life because society wants me to work🤣
Remember my comment in this replies section. Because it's probably gonna be one of the last rational comments you see here before the replies devolve into a flame war.
The message, the cinematography, the emotions, all shown perfectly while not saying a single word. I hope the ending meant you’re feeling better, hopefully even free. Powerful video.
what i'm getting from the ending is he's feeling the pressure and he is done with youtube/twitch. that's what i'm getting from it at least, which if that is the case and he's doing it because he needs to get away from it all, that's ok. i understand. sad, but if he needs it, then he should.
This literally made me feel anxious/scared I can’t imagine how your feeling hope you get better take all the time you need. We’ll always be here when you need us.
Seeing that camera at the end… it’s terrifying. That’s us. I can’t imagine how hard it must be to be on the other side, trying to reach out to all the people watching, judging, waiting. There’s no way to describe that feeling, when you’re all alone, but nobody else can see that… When that camera looked at us, we were looking right back at ourselves, and I couldn’t help but wonder what it would feel like to have others watching instead. It’s fitting to have the person behind the camera, who’s constantly trying to fit into our expectations turn that same feeling on us. It’s humbling, but also sad… Great film. And Jack, thank you for everything.
Sean just seems to be posting more and more serious things, vlogs, and taking breaks. Part of me wonders if he's ready to quit the UA-cam scene. I hope he chooses whatever is best for him. All love and support, Sean.
Jack, just go. I don't mean for a month, or 6 months, or even a year. If this is killing you, then leave for as long as it takes, even if that's the rest of your life. The hell with us, frankly. Your health is what's most important.
Yes the real fans will still be here when Jack decides to come back and if he decides not to come back we will still support him because we love him and want I'm to be happy and the best that he can be
@@TheShadowofevolution a never ending loop. A need to provide for oneself monetarily, but also a need to provide for oneself spiritually, emotionally and create a psychological balance.
Look Sean I'm one of your biggest fans ever and if you need to get rid of us to do it I'm fine with it all I want is for you to live a healthy life like the rest of us and if you need to quit youtube do it all I will ever do is support you for being you take this break
The cinematography is just gorgeous. You've grown so much as a creator, it's amazing. I relate to the feeling of isolation, chronic illness, and the anxiety of social media. I'm really impressed, Sean. I hope everything gets better for you soon, and just know that even if you never come back to UA-cam, I've loved your content, and I'm so proud of you. You've done our little island proud.
It’s really sad that this is just snippets of jack and how he see and feels off screen and how this affects him and his mental health. This probably isn’t even a fraction of what he has to go through everyday and how it’s even affecting his physical health. I really hope your doing well jack :( genuinely
The camera sees everything, but we only see what he wants us to see. Or maybe he only shows us what WE want to see. Nothing is as it seems. Keep well Sean. You've brought joy to many over the years. Try and bring some to yourself. ❤️
This was the single greatest piece of art I have seen in months. I was sobbing at the end. I literally tore a muscle yesterday from how hard I was gripping my sheets due to a night terror. I felt this in my heart. The endless pills. Everyone telling me their opinions on how I need to fix myself. Day after day on repeat. Wake up, wait for my alarm. Fake it till I make it through the day. Avoid sleep because of the darkness that lurks there. Scream, thrash, wake up, wait for my alarm. Emptiness filling every corner of my mind. I cannot express enough my gratitude to you for sharing your soul. I hope you have found your light. This helped me find another step in my path to find mine again. It truly was pure, real, and perfect. You are heard, you are important, and you are loved. Good luck in all your endeavours Sean. Keep being you. From the very core of who I am, thank you so very much.
Hey Jack, know you probably won't see this but just wanted to let you know that we'll always be here for you man. You've been there for many of us in dark times so it's only fair we do the same.
Absolute chills watching this, unless you have experienced any mental health yourself no one truly understands. So many see it as being weak, but that is not the case at all. I would never wish this on anyone. I, myself have unfortunately had 10 years+ of fighting the constant battles in my own head - you can be your own worst enemy. Everyday just getting out of bed is a victory Sean and you got this! 💜 I remember when my ex would tell me just to cheer up 😒 it's like someone breaking their leg and asking them to walk it off - not going to happen. Time really does heal and you are not alone.
@@logsaplenty it honestly is exhausting and no way to live at all. It's a shame so many people don't understand how difficult it really can be for some
in a sense it's weird to dive so deep into someone's life, and well not just "someone's" but to a man's who has been helping many go through hardships with his jokes, laughs and in general bright character. seeing this side of you Sean makes people rethink the value of their problems, and rethink the value of their behaviour towards others. Thank you for this.
This broke a piece of my heart, not gonna lie. We all felt a hit when we saw him watching his old vids - reminiscing perhaps. The man that's helped us through so much shouldnt have to feel and in a way be trapped by the constant need for medication to provide relief for pain that you in no way deserve. I hope, so so badly that the last shot means you're getting and feeling better - both mentally and physically. Seán you mean a lot to us all and also, amazing video. Powerful, the camera work and editing was amazing. Really hit me. I hope you get better. 💚
I couldn’t agree with this comment more!! People commenting “yes finally make _____” is just proving exactly how he is feeling. As fans, we need to be there for him. He produced some of the best content on the internet and I will always stand by him. That last shot made me cry, because I am hoping and praying that now he doesn’t feel trapped, or he doesn’t feel anymore pain. This man has been my rock throughout so many hard times and how it’s our turn to be his. A good short film by a very strong and powerful man. 💚
ever since I started my journey with meds, I’ve felt like it’s a taboo thing for me to talk about with others even though many people I know also take them to help with this kinda stuff. It just seems weird because it ends up being a hidden thing you don’t discuss. I think seeing it be a part of Sean’s routine in this video helps me feel better.
I have 3 draws in my night stand just like that. My kitchen drawers/worktop, too. It really is kinda painful when you stop and think about how shocking that imagery is. You don't notice it during your day-to-day because that's just normal life for you, but when you see all of those meds piled high, you really do have to take a moment
@@manofsolutions4305 I get what the video is about, I understand what he was conveying as his message, and his struggles But I'm curious about the ending He's going through all of that but is he getting help? He just showed the problem and at the end he left it very vague Mental health is a serious issue and I'd hate to find out he's been going through all of that without proper care from a professional because he could end up worse Also Sean, like myself, is an Athiest so faith aint ganna help him. I just hope he tweets or lets us know hes getting proper help because after seeing all that i really hope hes doing better The ending is extremely vague and I'm really worried about him
Sean, youve saved my life countless times, literally. The world is so scary, i love this so much. I can relate to this to an extant beyond my explanation 😭😭. I love you as a creator and i hope you feel well. Lots of hope 🙂
I think one of the things in my opinion that hits hardest is hearing him stream or watch his old vid while the shot lingers on the medication. It takes his content which we see as happy and fun and twists to make us feel uncomfortable, but the reason we're uncomfortable isn't because of the medication its because we are being shown something we don't want to accept, We are being shown one of the joys in our life suffers greatly. I think that shot alone makes this piece, because I think he shows us how he feels there. On the front happy and energetic but as he laughs reaching for the inhaler. Joy infected with pain.
I agree Jack please take the rest of the year off at least because this kinda made me worry for you man just lay down and take a nap outside trust me it will feel good
I didn't expect something like that. Really impressive. Thank's for sharing this deep thoughts, and keep taking care of yourself, that's what's really important. Big hug!
These shots are actually amazing, each one really manages to express what it wants to, whether it is loneliness, anxiety, depression and this mysterious feeling that you’re always being watched
You know with no dialogue, visuals can speak louder than words. Seeing that shot of you watching your old content is me today. I want to be creative but something is just keeping me from being productive. Watching old content thinking, why can't I do this now. Whats stopping me, why am I just sitting here doing nothing? We know you've been going though health issues and hopefully you've progressed to a better position today. Do like your last shot of walking outside. It was a nice setup of dark passing into light. Also that transition shot at 7:35 you pulled off extremely well
This was actually really hard to watch. As someone who recognised almost every medication in this video and has taken about half of them, this was painful. I take 5 tablets before I get out of bed in the morning. I’m alive but not living. This was so painful, especially the ending.
I know where you're coming from. I've watched my mother take most of those medications since the day I was born. It's heartbreaking to see that her, you, Sean and so many people have to suffer through that.
the sertraline in his drawer got me. i've been on it for nearly 6 years and while it's helped so much it's also a relly painful reminder of a part of me that I can't escape. All the love to you, Sean, and everything you've done not only for us but for yourself, too
Sickness, anxiety, depression, and finally relief. This film is as beautiful as it is terrifying. You have made a masterpiece. Instead of talking about what has been going on, you have dragged them into your thoughts and without a word made them feel as you have felt. Thank you, Sean. Edit: Shame on all of the people that get a rise out of Sean's father's death. He was a good man that supported a good family. I hope you come to terms with whatever gives you the need to make fun of others and change your ways.
I go back to watch Sean’s old videos everyday just to feel like a kid again when I felt care free I. The world but this video really helps to know that I can’t be stuck in the past and wishing I could go back

How have u watched it when it came out 3 mins ago??
I feel so horrible because I can’t help him the way he has helped me. His videos always added a light to my world when it was dark and the fact that I can’t do that for him makes me feel so sad.
I think the best thing we can do is remember that he isn’t always happy and we can’t always expect him to act happy and silly and funny all the time; I think what he needs is support and understanding that he has his own issues to deal with and we shouldn’t push him to make us content everyday to keep us happy when he isn’t -I hope that makes sense my brain is a whirlwind rn, but let’s all just do our best to support him and his channel no matter what and in any way we can :) even just liking, watching and spreading love for him and his videos can help, and also accepting that Sean isn’t the person he always seems to be, and that’s ok.
@Rock girl bot
You can help him by liking and subscribing
The best gift you can give to anyone at any time is your understanding and patience.
Both when they’re doing well and when they are not.
Seán’s message of PMA is proof of that.
You don’t have to be happy to be positive.
So we as a community, no matter how we are doing individually, can give that to him.
He doesn’t want us to feel bad for him; he wants us to relate to him as a human being.
@@lylanotherday1383 Well put, thank you for this ^^
This video conveyed your hardship very well. I hope you know you were never as alone as you showed in the video. There were always millions of people wrapping their arms around you at all times.
Holy crap, wasn't expecting to see you here ElectroBOOM!
Now im seeing every youtube creator in this comment section.
im not sure i want millions of people wrapping there arms around me at all times, sounds rather uncomfortable. maybe thats why he sad in the video.
You wouldn't have finished the video by now, this was written 5 mins ago and the video is 11 mins long
Yo It's ElectroBOOM!!!
The isolation, the panic, the guilt, the pressure, seeing a part of yourself frozen in time... I'm always shocked when reminded other creators feel this too. The cinematography in this is just as powerful as the message. Well done.

Hi Captainsauce
@BILLIE SAYS DUH stop spamming comments for attention!
He’s known for being loud, and that makes the silence that much more deafening
I bet in an hour, this comment will get 500 likes
The silence almost hurts.
That's a very powerful sentence
this hit harder than i thought it would
I wouldn't say he's known 4 being loud but I do get the point
watching Sean watch his old self like that honesty gave me chills. I loved that era of Jacksepticeye but I also love that it ended and Sean started taking time for himself and started putting out content he liked, I hope he knows we don’t expect him to put on a persona anymore
Hopefully he does.
At least by some of us.
i agree with you
I didn’t think he was putting on a persona back then either.
This feels more like reality than anything. Honestly it just shows how badly he needed a break. Whatever it is your health comes first and as much as we all wanna see him back.. I'd be happier knowing he is happy and healthy.

I really hope he gets better soon! It’s amazing to also see so many creators show their support, it really makes it feel like a community. This extends to everyone, be safe out there, and there will always be someone to catch you when you fall. Just let them

when i needed company late night at work, and school, your videos were there.
thank you, Jack.
Hi OT
Love you, One Topic ❤️ It's so wholesome to have you and Jackaboy in the same spot 🤗
Hey OT
Jack is great
Wow that's awesome!
I relate to this on so many levels.
The depression, the isolation, the guilt, the looking at videos/pictures of yourself from a younger time and feeling empty inside.
I've enjoyed your content from when you were a young, loud, boisterous lad, and I enjoy it now. I wish I could give that feeling to you, as well.
I hope you're alright, Jack-a-boy.

@BILLIE SAYS DUH shut. Probably a bot or a copypasta.
Also hi rae.
RAEEEEEE
Oh hi valkyrae yeah this video is filled with emotion
I uploaded my Face Reveal.
So in the beginning there’s this scene where Jack is running at night, and I love how his anxiety is represented not just by the weird UA-cam autofocus thing (great use of that feature BTW), but also by the aspect ratio narrowing down - the world literally closing in on him. At first, Jack was able to fend off the asthma attacks with inhalers, but later down the line we see the same narrow aspect ratio come back. Except this time it doesn’t go away. The anxiety stays and it becomes a part of Jack’s life. Hours turning to days turning to months, all while being juxtaposed against shots of the outside world in a wider aspect ratio. And only once the lockdown lifts Jack is able to overcome his fear, with the black borders gradually thinning. Yet there’s still the watchful eye of the audience…
This feels like a goodbye to Jack and a hello to Sean.
Oh my
That's deep
Yep
That hits bro 😢
Goodbye jack was like 3 years ago at this point
This just makes me think that in the end, after jacksepticeye, he's still Sean. He's still a person, and what he does takes an enormous toll on him.

Bot above me

It just goes to show that we are just people, people who need breaks, people who need food and water, people who need time to themselves, because we aren't this perfect image of what people see us as and we arent machines, and that is what makes this so good. Thank you, Sean
This was excellent Sean. The last shot hit hardest, gave me creepy vibes of “do you even exist if the camera’s not on”. Truly impressed bro.

Yesterday- October 21st, 2022- marked exactly _15 Months_ since Seán gave us this masterpiece and I still think people do him a tremendous disservice by only seeing Bo Burnham’s _Inside_ or some other creator’s work when they watch it.
I go back to this video all the time. Not because it’s some general expression of COVID lockdown or an inspiration from Inside (no offense towards Bo Burnham).
*THIS SEÁN MCLOUGHLIN’S PERSONAL STORY!*
_This is HIS ASTHMA! IT’S HIS DIGESTIVE ISSUES!_
This was but a mere fraction of what _he_ had to go through! Not anyone else.
I almost feel guilty for not watching Sean’s videos that much anymore this guy was a HUGE part of my childhood especially the happy wheels series. We love you Sean always and forever
We all move on, but we all come back once a while dont we?
so im not the only one
I remember being about six maybes and I remember getting my first tablet and I remember first discovering UA-cam and Jack has always been a great guy and just like you said I almost feel guilty for not watching much of him anymore When I get my tablet I think I’m going to go on his channel and watch some of the series

@Butter My Crumpets The comment, has dissapeared!
I'm pretty sure Jack just showed us what most UA-camrs feel but just never really tell their viewers and that's one of the things that I'm frightened about.
Well this was also about him being sick and not having as much energy as he used to and having to come to terms with that, if i understood it correctly.
I'm glad most of the streamers I watch do talk about this stuff
1:20 the way he opened his eyes and his pupils dilated is probably one of the greatest film scenes I’ve ever seen 🙏🏼
Damn, seeing all the body language too. Even though he didn’t speak, his movements spoke volumes. The leg bouncing, the hand rubbing, the hands shaking, those are all signs of anxiety. Just.. damn man. I hope you’re doing okay and/or getting better!
This hit… really deep. To me, it’s the sense of despair you feel creeping up on you as the days blend together and you pretend that you’re okay but it’s really not okay. You can’t think. You can’t feel. You can’t change. It’s endless.

To be honest I was scared it was just me during the quarantine I've had for the first time in my life panic attacks, obsessing over intrusive thoughts, feeling like I'm wasting my life if not doing something productive or practicing the stuff I want to do then college happen, I failed my first semester on my second year cause I was not focused on my work right im trying to make up for this summer has helped me a lot when quarantine was uplifted, I asked other family members if they were suffering the same, when I went to visit my aunt for a little bit and as we were leaving she almost teared up the isolation was getting to her too
I know you'll probably never see this but thank you Sean. Thank you for everything you've done and thank you for showing this to us. If you need to stop doing UA-cam in a more permanent sense, we will understand. And if you do go, thank you for all of the content, laughs, crys, and best times of my life. Thank you for helping all of us, please help yourself now.
The camera at the end, I think it’s meant to represent us. Obsessively watching and waiting, always wanting more. I can’t imagine the amount of pressure the audience puts on any UA-camr. It’s really haunting imagery and really makes me think. We as an audience need to be less demanding and understand the person on the other side of the screen is a human being with their own life and their own unique circumstances. Many of these entertainers brought us entertainment during quarantine and never really got a proper break to process what was going on in their own lives. Sean had digestive issues and probably had COVID that exacerbated his asthma. I’ve been subscribed to Sean for a very long time and I don’t think this man has ever slowed down and given himself a proper vacation or just time to think. Sean if you’re reading this enjoy every moment of your time off. Whenever you’re ready to come back whether is 1 month or 1 year we’ll all be here supporting you on both UA-cam and Reddit.

i cant POSSIBLY think of a more understanding, healthy, loving community then jacks. seriously.... look at jaden animations community and how they treat her after all she has done... its disgusting and sickening. then look at jacks. he has millions of fans still subscribed and still loving EVERY video and watching to the end even if he decides to take a break and leave youtube for days, weeks, months.... jacks fanbase is one of if not THE most understanding and caring fanbase i have EVER seen. the fan base was built on compassion, understanding, and mental health. now..... im not saying sean is being an ass for making this video, ANY celebrity has very different view of the world then an average person. living a life of constantly needing to put on a smile for the camera and constantly being funny and working everyday to put out something new is a very VERY hard thing to do and should be respected. but jack is very lucky to have the fanbase he does and a fan base that has stuck with him for so many years helping not just the channel but working as a "family" to help the world be a better place. if jack is feeling like he needs a break from the grind then everyone will respect that choice and know he has MORE then earned it for the YEARS of dedication to his fans.... but not everyone can make that choice sometimes even tho they SHOULD. i respect sean for making a video that shows just how scary it can be when your stuck in a loop like that and how lonely it can make you feel

The main thing about this that really gripped me is the overwhelming sense of loneliness in the video.
Not a single other person but Jack/Sean appears here.
Honestly, it's better to call him Sean at this point because this is one of the most real things, so to say, I've ever seen him upload, and I've watched him for years.
The constant loop, the loneliness, the medical problems, it really conveys just how much he's been going through.

Jack keeps mentioning in almost every gameplay series how much he loves environmental storytelling. There is so much of it in this video, every detail feels like it was meant to be exactly there, even though you won't see everything from the first time
Go rewatch this video a couple more times, it's worth it I promise!
I understood it all the first time through, as anyone who has been watching him since 2015 would.
Yea I was going to say something similar along those lines but its a lot like the anime movie silent voice which has a lot of environmental storytelling.
the berserk references were amazing
@@Thee_observer And I think this is what makes it so special, the more you look into it the more you see!
That whole short film was insanely gripping. The way the emotions were portrayed, and the camera techniques used made this hard to look away from.
I also almost cried, so-
Dude! Such beautiful, subtle and precision work! Masterfully composed from start to finish. Cannot wait to see what you write / create / direct next. Bravo!!!
yesss
James , why you stop make videos ?
I was born With (insert some breathing desease) and i cant persue my dreams because off that is to join the Swedish defense force (försvarsmakten) and i hated myself because off it but now i persue animation because that’s the only other thing im good at 😔
Idk if i would describe it as subtle
@@shalomgaming3187 Your brain are belong to the trash
love you jack i promise everything will get better ❤️
i love you too
i love you too
i don’t think that was his message at all- but i also hope that Sean is doing well
welll you can't really promise something that huge of a deal so easily
Evap it's well intended but it feels like saying to a homeless person "hey everything will be alright" without guiding them to the right resources. But since this comes off as me becoming an asshole I will say that it's hard to change get out of a negative cycle of physical and mental mindset without the proper healthy mindset to navigate the negative emotions.
That clip of him quietly using his inhaler during a stream.... like yeah, that's what it's like. Ruled by an illness but at the same time weaving it into your normal, and a huge part of the time no one else ever even knows. We get so good at hiding our unhealth that it comes as a shock when we actually say we're chronically ill out loud
Honestly, as a person that grew up with asthma as a kid and was fairly active, playing soccer and golf etc., I really didn’t mind asthma all that much. I personally don’t think it’s that bad but maybe your experiences are different.
@@cosmic8849 Asthma has different levels of severeness. It can be so mild it doesn’t need treatment, or so severe it’s life threatening.
I'm aware it's not so bad for everyone, but speaking as a person from a family of weak lungs that don't have access to inhalers, it is a big part of my life and i do have to hide it in order to keep from freaking people out
@@chaosbitses7047 Wait what? People get freakes out about a inhaler? Is that an american thing?
@@filip9564 possibly? My abuser is just the kind of person who doesn't believe science is real unless SHE personally discovered it (on the internet 🙄) and her stance is "all steroids bad" even though i have multiple conditions where steroids are the main treatment
I'm so sorry you went through this experience. You were courageous to put this out there. You are there for all of us, we are here for you too. Don't forget to reach out for help--no shame, only away to feel better. You, Sean are appreciated.
Holy fuck. This is incredible.

Hi nux
This is why I love your channel

Jack, whether this is your “goodbye” or the start of a long break, I just wanted to say that you will forever be a legend in millions of hearts. There are those who have been horrible to you, but just know you are a hero to many, many more. Stay strong Sean
It’s a long break he will not upload in 15 months

@@bigboy1378 there is something wrong with you
Hes right
Remember my comment in this replies section. Because it's probably gonna be one of the last rational comments you see here before the replies devolve into a flame war.
The message, the cinematography, the emotions, all shown perfectly while not saying a single word. I hope the ending meant you’re feeling better, hopefully even free. Powerful video.
what i'm getting from the ending is he's feeling the pressure and he is done with youtube/twitch. that's what i'm getting from it at least, which if that is the case and he's doing it because he needs to get away from it all, that's ok. i understand. sad, but if he needs it, then he should.
@Impaired_mind your name explains why you replyed with that.
@@YourLocalCafe chill bro, don't respond to negativity with negativity. I hope you have a good day
@@Lunatra absolutely, I don’t think he’s done, maybe, or just saying on a break
This literally made me feel anxious/scared I can’t imagine how your feeling hope you get better take all the time you need. We’ll always be here when you need us.
Seeing that camera at the end… it’s terrifying. That’s us. I can’t imagine how hard it must be to be on the other side, trying to reach out to all the people watching, judging, waiting. There’s no way to describe that feeling, when you’re all alone, but nobody else can see that… When that camera looked at us, we were looking right back at ourselves, and I couldn’t help but wonder what it would feel like to have others watching instead. It’s fitting to have the person behind the camera, who’s constantly trying to fit into our expectations turn that same feeling on us. It’s humbling, but also sad… Great film. And Jack, thank you for everything.
@Wish You The Best That's why they're thanking Jack for everything. For all the memories... Because now, its time for Sean to shine
@Wish You The Best oh wait eally? I thought this Sean mclocklan guy was just a random film student. Thank god
As always his the Boss
And i hope he will have a good life and I am thankful jack is back😄😀😁
if you concentrate it looks like the black dot in the middle is growing, it reminds me of the quote "I stared into the abyss and it stared back".
@Wish You The Best Sorry! I just typed what I understood based on other comments..
Sean just seems to be posting more and more serious things, vlogs, and taking breaks. Part of me wonders if he's ready to quit the UA-cam scene. I hope he chooses whatever is best for him. All love and support, Sean.

Jack, just go. I don't mean for a month, or 6 months, or even a year. If this is killing you, then leave for as long as it takes, even if that's the rest of your life. The hell with us, frankly. Your health is what's most important.
THIS. This. Leave, jack. Save your life. Please
Yes the real fans will still be here when Jack decides to come back and if he decides not to come back we will still support him because we love him and want I'm to be happy and the best that he can be
@@TheShadowofevolution a never ending loop. A need to provide for oneself monetarily, but also a need to provide for oneself spiritually, emotionally and create a psychological balance.
He is leaving for 15 months I guess
Look Sean I'm one of your biggest fans ever and if you need to get rid of us to do it I'm fine with it all I want is for you to live a healthy life like the rest of us and if you need to quit youtube do it all I will ever do is support you for being you take this break
The cinematography is just gorgeous. You've grown so much as a creator, it's amazing. I relate to the feeling of isolation, chronic illness, and the anxiety of social media. I'm really impressed, Sean. I hope everything gets better for you soon, and just know that even if you never come back to UA-cam, I've loved your content, and I'm so proud of you. You've done our little island proud.
it hurts to see the man that built my childhood in this much pain.
Same, it really hurts but I just feel so guilty that he feels this way :(
Same..
I cried, he deserves so much goodness in his life
@@paigerichards2539 yes he does
Same here it breaks my heart to see him this way I pray every day that he’ll get better
It’s really sad that this is just snippets of jack and how he see and feels off screen and how this affects him and his mental health. This probably isn’t even a fraction of what he has to go through everyday and how it’s even affecting his physical health. I really hope your doing well jack :( genuinely
The camera sees everything, but we only see what he wants us to see. Or maybe he only shows us what WE want to see. Nothing is as it seems. Keep well Sean. You've brought joy to many over the years. Try and bring some to yourself. ❤️
I honestly thought the same thing
Thank you Sean for all the childhood memories.
This was the single greatest piece of art I have seen in months. I was sobbing at the end. I literally tore a muscle yesterday from how hard I was gripping my sheets due to a night terror. I felt this in my heart. The endless pills. Everyone telling me their opinions on how I need to fix myself. Day after day on repeat. Wake up, wait for my alarm. Fake it till I make it through the day. Avoid sleep because of the darkness that lurks there. Scream, thrash, wake up, wait for my alarm. Emptiness filling every corner of my mind. I cannot express enough my gratitude to you for sharing your soul. I hope you have found your light. This helped me find another step in my path to find mine again. It truly was pure, real, and perfect. You are heard, you are important, and you are loved. Good luck in all your endeavours Sean. Keep being you. From the very core of who I am, thank you so very much.
Jack couldn't express his emotions well enough in words. So he made a non verbal short film about it. And now I am speechless. Respect❤
Most easily impressed fan bases. It wasn't good.
a picture can tell a thousand words. Think what 27-60 pictures per second can tell
@@muckymoe5619 why are you still here then lol I respect your opinion but if you have nothing nice to say then don’t say anything

@@ethereal_angelll333 I don't think critisizing things is something people shouldnt do that being said the og comment was kind of ridiculous
Hey Jack, know you probably won't see this but just wanted to let you know that we'll always be here for you man. You've been there for many of us in dark times so it's only fair we do the same.
Absolute chills watching this, unless you have experienced any mental health yourself no one truly understands. So many see it as being weak, but that is not the case at all. I would never wish this on anyone. I, myself have unfortunately had 10 years+ of fighting the constant battles in my own head - you can be your own worst enemy. Everyday just getting out of bed is a victory Sean and you got this! 💜 I remember when my ex would tell me just to cheer up 😒 it's like someone breaking their leg and asking them to walk it off - not going to happen. Time really does heal and you are not alone.
Honestly I just wish people would realize for one second how crippling it truly is

@@jackspticeyesdadisburningi6760 wow we’re so offended at some 12 yr old edge lord
in a sense it's weird to dive so deep into someone's life, and well not just "someone's" but to a man's who has been helping many go through hardships with his jokes, laughs and in general bright character. seeing this side of you Sean makes people rethink the value of their problems, and rethink the value of their behaviour towards others. Thank you for this.
This broke a piece of my heart, not gonna lie. We all felt a hit when we saw him watching his old vids - reminiscing perhaps. The man that's helped us through so much shouldnt have to feel and in a way be trapped by the constant need for medication to provide relief for pain that you in no way deserve. I hope, so so badly that the last shot means you're getting and feeling better - both mentally and physically.
Seán you mean a lot to us all and also, amazing video. Powerful, the camera work and editing was amazing. Really hit me. I hope you get better. 💚
I agree that part was really painful to see, I hope he’s alright.
@BILLIE SAYS DUH be quiet!
I couldn’t agree with this comment more!! People commenting “yes finally make _____” is just proving exactly how he is feeling. As fans, we need to be there for him. He produced some of the best content on the internet and I will always stand by him. That last shot made me cry, because I am hoping and praying that now he doesn’t feel trapped, or he doesn’t feel anymore pain. This man has been my rock throughout so many hard times and how it’s our turn to be his. A good short film by a very strong and powerful man. 💚
💚
@BILLIE SAYS DUH keep begging lol
the meds in his drawer really hit hard with me, beautifully done jack, absolutely beautiful!!
I really hope those were prescribed by a licensed therapist
I'm extremely curious to know if he actually went for a proper mental health evaluation.
I kept glancing over at the glass of water and inhalers on my nightstand. Tearing up at the moment. Connected with this on a visceral level.
ever since I started my journey with meds, I’ve felt like it’s a taboo thing for me to talk about with others even though many people I know also take them to help with this kinda stuff. It just seems weird because it ends up being a hidden thing you don’t discuss. I think seeing it be a part of Sean’s routine in this video helps me feel better.
I have 3 draws in my night stand just like that. My kitchen drawers/worktop, too. It really is kinda painful when you stop and think about how shocking that imagery is. You don't notice it during your day-to-day because that's just normal life for you, but when you see all of those meds piled high, you really do have to take a moment
@@manofsolutions4305 I get what the video is about, I understand what he was conveying as his message, and his struggles
But I'm curious about the ending
He's going through all of that but is he getting help?
He just showed the problem and at the end he left it very vague
Mental health is a serious issue and I'd hate to find out he's been going through all of that without proper care from a professional because he could end up worse
Also Sean, like myself, is an Athiest so faith aint ganna help him.
I just hope he tweets or lets us know hes getting proper help because after seeing all that i really hope hes doing better
The ending is extremely vague and I'm really worried about him
the overwhelming urge to jump through the screen and hug you is STRONG!!
Sean, youve saved my life countless times, literally. The world is so scary, i love this so much. I can relate to this to an extant beyond my explanation 😭😭. I love you as a creator and i hope you feel well. Lots of hope 🙂
I think one of the things in my opinion that hits hardest is hearing him stream or watch his old vid while the shot lingers on the medication. It takes his content which we see as happy and fun and twists to make us feel uncomfortable, but the reason we're uncomfortable isn't because of the medication its because we are being shown something we don't want to accept, We are being shown one of the joys in our life suffers greatly. I think that shot alone makes this piece, because I think he shows us how he feels there. On the front happy and energetic but as he laughs reaching for the inhaler. Joy infected with pain.
This really makes me think. I don't want Sean to feel all the pressure after all the good times he has brought us. Please take care of yourself mate
He can take a year a month or maybe never upload again i will be happy as long as ik he is fine
I agree Jack please take the rest of the year off at least because this kinda made me worry for you man just lay down and take a nap outside trust me it will feel good
I didn't expect something like that. Really impressive. Thank's for sharing this deep thoughts, and keep taking care of yourself, that's what's really important. Big hug!

These shots are actually amazing, each one really manages to express what it wants to, whether it is loneliness, anxiety, depression and this mysterious feeling that you’re always being watched
You know with no dialogue, visuals can speak louder than words. Seeing that shot of you watching your old content is me today. I want to be creative but something is just keeping me from being productive. Watching old content thinking, why can't I do this now. Whats stopping me, why am I just sitting here doing nothing? We know you've been going though health issues and hopefully you've progressed to a better position today. Do like your last shot of walking outside. It was a nice setup of dark passing into light. Also that transition shot at 7:35 you pulled off extremely well
YES
@@broncz8094 quite, i also agree with this take on the contectualisation of the crop rotation industry during december 2004
Agreed and, in a very psychological way, it IS a horror movie.

This was actually really hard to watch. As someone who recognised almost every medication in this video and has taken about half of them, this was painful. I take 5 tablets before I get out of bed in the morning. I’m alive but not living. This was so painful, especially the ending.
I know where you're coming from. I've watched my mother take most of those medications since the day I was born. It's heartbreaking to see that her, you, Sean and so many people have to suffer through that.
@@natfoster6362 meh just a troll let him be lol
Yeah for the first 6 years of my life I was in and out of hospitals and constantly taking medication and shots and this was very sad to watch
Damn dude. Hope you are good. And the people experiencing this pain. 🙏🏻
yeah i used to take antidepressants and being able to recognize some medication hit different
the sertraline in his drawer got me. i've been on it for nearly 6 years and while it's helped so much it's also a relly painful reminder of a part of me that I can't escape. All the love to you, Sean, and everything you've done not only for us but for yourself, too
Beautiful video, gave me the chills

Sickness, anxiety, depression, and finally relief. This film is as beautiful as it is terrifying. You have made a masterpiece. Instead of talking about what has been going on, you have dragged them into your thoughts and without a word made them feel as you have felt. Thank you, Sean.
Edit: Shame on all of the people that get a rise out of Sean's father's death. He was a good man that supported a good family. I hope you come to terms with whatever gives you the need to make fun of others and change your ways.
