    I'm going through this with my wife. I spend everyday at work scared that I'm going to get a call. It doesn't help that I have severe depression and anxiety myself but I try to stay strong so she keeps fighting.

    I’ve left comments, especially for mental health, depression and Bipolar II. Thank you to those who shed a light on mental illness because it is real. Chris true, so true, and heartfelt reaction. I wonder sometimes, why me? For 25 years and folks - way back to my kid days, I’ve endured this. Which is why it is me. I can tell my story, I’m still here. Fighting the good fight. Running my race for the prize. Telling troubled people, People, you are an important person who is valuable here. Just like I found myself to be. Get help, stay the course, reach out a hand and your voice to pass it on. You will be blessed, and can bless others who hurt. You can be triumphant!

Latest is my Father God singing this to me ua-cam.com/video/22ZnZocAS4I/v-deo.html When you use your toolbox, sometimes you get greasy, nature of cleaning up. But it does clean up! It is a battle, be in it to win it! And everybody said? Amen. Thank you both for support. Much appreciated.

    I actually suffer from depression. I wrote this in one of my darker days. I have lots of support and have to push myself daily to go against what I may think or feel.
    When I’m in my darkest hour
    I simply lose all my power
    To love, to smile, to live, to care
    I lose myself, I’m in despair
    A windowless room, dark and alone
    I recognize nothing even though I’m home
    I sit and stare for hours a day
    Hopeless in thought, words I can’t say
    The battle within is strong today
    Alone in my silence I start to pray
    Do they hear me, can they know
    How lost I am, how far I may go
    While in my prayers, a glimmer of light
    A voice telling me to not give up the fight
    My thoughts come more focused, my worth coming through
    My family, my friends I tether onto
    The power within me has come to return
    And in this day I have come to learn
    I’m stronger than I was before
    I believe I can now walk through the door
    I’m no longer going to be afraid
    For I have won my battle today
    My heart won’t let in the mind that is lying
    I must always remember to
    Always Keep Fighting
    -Angela Payne

      As hard as depression is to overcome, my struggles have gotten the best of me to the end my life time and time again. I still struggle with this evil that has a hold on me. As a man we are told to be strong to not show any weakness, as a man I can tell you it's easy to lie and say I'm fine or that I'm ok. Deep down inside I'm dying, dying to break free of the darkness of my past, my present. I fear my future, but I manage to get by every day. It's easy to leave a random comment where no one knows you, just to let this out. Thank you for this.

    I'm a psychiatric nurse the first I saw this video . I cried this is what my patients and families deal with. this a chemical imbalance that is a life long journey. I always thank the families sticking with them on this journey you are correct they often think that families would be better off without them.The problem is they feel better and stop their medications because they feel better i always tell them think it like diabetes or hypertension you stop when doctor stop. Many blessings to people struggling with mental health We are here for you

    This one felt different to me. My father was a heroin addict and almost overdosed a few times I remember being near him while he was OD-ing. As a kid I didn’t know what was happening around me. Turns out he was struggling with social anxiety and depression. He was clean from heroin for 2 years and In 2014 he relapsed. When he relapsed he accidentally got fentanyl poisoned heroin and passed away in November of that year. This song, Castle/Arose, and I’m Sorry always make me feel a little something. Thanks for the great content Chris, your videos have helped me through my tough times. I’ve learned so much from the things you’ve said in these reactions. ❤️

    This song rips my heart out every time. I lived this mans life. My daughters father took himself from us 5 years ago. I spent almost 15 years saving him over and over and just a couple years of my being in a different state... well... I wasn't able to save him. He left behind 2 children. One girl and one boy, they were six at the time and they loved him with all they had. It is so hard to lose someone you held together for so long. I still hold so much rage and sorrow. I feel so much guilt for my daughter. It just wasn't fair.

    My little brother took his life a couple months ago he was married and had 2 beautiful little boys 1 and 3 years old. He was only 22. The last text i sent him i told him i loved him and asked him to promise me to never hurt himself he read it and never replied. If anyone reading this feels that no one cares trust me so many people do there is always a way out and things will get better. Kinda weird the last time I watched one of your videos he was still alive this was the first one I've watched since he passed.

    What a surprise! Found your channel because of Eminem, who is my favorite artist of all time. Big fan of Chris as well, saw him live at the Houston Rodeo and was amazed at how raw he sounded. Coincidentally, also just saw him in concert less than a week ago! He sounds just like he does in his songs.
    Cool side note: his wife, Morgan, is his background singer and seeing them on stage is wonderful.
    Here for both Eminem and Chris!

    What you said at the end here really touched me, as one whose dealt a lot with depression and anxiety, amd several times thought of suicide. Thankfully I've got my partner who does not struggle with any mental illness, which can be both good and frustrating. But as you said, tha best thing to do is reach out, even though it seems like the hardest thing to do. To find someone who deals with the same as yourself is both a blessing and a curse. Because it feels so good to talk to someone who understands what you are going through, and don't have to explain in details how it feels, how it hurts, why hurting yourself sometimes feels good and so on. Then again, when you know how bad it can be you would not wish it on your worst enemy...
    Thank you so much for your insight and good words!
    Love from Norway!

    As someone whose struggled with depression for years, life gets better when you let it. When you actually let yourself heal it'll start getting better, and yeah it might be hard and it'll never go away not fully but it'll help. The whole idea of "think of everyone around you" doesn't help, it only makes you feel worse for feeling the way you do. Just remember, you're not alone and there is people who will talk to you if you feel the need. There is help and more importantly there is hope.

I drink but I don’t want to depend on pills. I think it’s important to be truthful. I’m good today but I don’t give a shit about life. Once I did that the burden was lifted off my shoulders. If life goes bad I always thought you can always go.

Having a daughter that deals with mental health and has attempted suicide. She's bipolar and struggles every single day. My biggest fear is getting that call that she succeeded. All I can do is let her know how much I love her every single day and be here for her. Only video Chris Stapleton made because he felt so strong about the subject.

    I've lost people to suicide and have made a few attempts myself. At this point, the only thing keeping me alive is the lithium I take. But whatever it takes, I guess. I think the most important thing to take away from videos and conversations like this is that you can't shame or guilt someone into getting better. No person ever stopped feeling suicidal because someone said "look how many people you'd be hurting" or "look how good you've got it, don't waste your gifts" or "don't be selfish".

    Thank you for another lovely reaction to an amazing song, and for your message. To all those out there who relate to this song/video too well…🥺🙏.
    I’m generally not a country fan, either. I can’t stand the twangy stuff about sexy tractors, red Solo cups, and dinners at Applebee’s. *But Chris Stapleton is a different monster.* I know he’s most often categorized as country, but I really think he’s more folk-blues/folk-rock. He is an incredible songwriter and vocalist. He has one of the best male voices I’ve ever heard - always on-pitch (sounds even better live than recorded), strong, smooth enough but with just the right amount of grit/gravel.
    Please do consider more Chris Stapleton. And if you like Chris Stapleton, but you’ve never given Johnny Cash a chance…at least try Cash’s cover of “Hurt.” ua-cam.com/video/8AHCfZTRGiI/v-deo.html It was originally by the rock band Nine Inch Nails. Cash’s spin on it, and his delivery of it (knowing that he was an old, frail man with very little time left) is soul-gripping. I tear up every time.

We pulled in, his wife was crying and said that he'd left a voice msg on her phone and left a note for his 5 year old. She said she looked everywhere and couldn't find him. The police put out a bolo for him and a missing person report. My mother and I looked everywhere as well with no luck. We even checked in his storage shed in hopes he drove his car in there and hid. I called all of his friends and our mutual friends and no one had seen him. I even called my best friend and asked if he'd seen him even tho I knew he hadn't seen him and even broke down on the phone explaining why I was looking for him. I sat with my mother and thought with her for about 45 more minutes just trying to process. My mother said "I wish I knew where you guys did more... even when you were kids you guys always used to run off and I never knew where you went".... I sat and thought about what she just said and it hit me. INSTANTLY. I thought of the place we used to always play at about 1000 feet from our house when we were young (his house at the time was 4 houses down from our childhood home). We took my mom's car around to the next road across the railroad tracks and we found his car. A sickness came over me not knowing what I was going to find.... he wasn't in it and his car was locked. I panicked a second because his car was facing his house and was tucked in behind some bushes and was hidden from the front pretty well. He apparently watched his wife cheat on him with another man the night before his birthday. So he went to the place we played at as children and prepared.... so back to when my mother and I were at his car. So after we found out it was locked, I looked at my mom and said mom, I know where he is and started to sprint as fast as I could. I'm pretty athletic now but was super athletic then (2005). There is a empty car lot next to railroad tracks and leads down to a little gully with a stream and the same upward hill immediately after the stream (about 25 feet wide) which was just barely any water in it. I ran so fast that when I got the the drop off, I just ran straight and was running in mid air until I landed in the stream/mud (like maybe a 12 foot drop off at a 45° angle so just a slopey hill down) and I got stuck in the mud... while I was pulling my foot out of the mud I lost my shoe... I said never-mind and got my balance and looked around to find the path up the hill... when I found the path I looked up and saw a sneaker in the air... noticed his blue jeans (he always wore jeans all year around, he was a big rig mechanic) and saw his dark blue shirt and then his face. My mom luckily stayed at the car like a quarter mile back roughly. I screamed so loud and so high pitched that I must have sounded like the mom in the movie Scream in the opening scene (if you're not sure what I'm talking about, just watch the first 5 minutes of the first Scream movie and you'll understand what I mean) my mom said she heard me as clear as day through the trees and she said she dropped to her knees. The police were there just pulling in and they rushed to my screams... when they got to me I passed out and they carried me out. My mom lost it and thought it was my brother they were carrying out but she realized who it was when they got closer. I'll never forget what I saw... the flies around his face and small bugs crawling in and out of his ears, eyes mouth and nose. The smell that I smelled of urine and feces. It literally broke my heart and traumatized myself. He had hung himself and later found out that it was double-noosed... My mother was also traumatized too. She's so incredibly strong and my hero for going through that with me. She should have never had this happen to her. God I love her. But that is the story of how my brother died on his birthday. June 14th. I miss him dearly and I love him so much. His son is an amazing little boy then/ young man now. He was also traumatized and had a difficult time growing up and his mother didn't allow us to spend time with him. It's so unfortunate because he deserved so much more. He's amazing and I love him so much as well. I'm not sure why I decided to share this but I know I won't be judged and I hope others won't judge him either. He was obviously struggling and was in so much pain. I still don't know how to feel about it and it's been 17 years.
      I apologize for the whole story on your page but I wanted to share his story. This was so hard to write out while trying to hold it together but sharing this makes me feel a little better somehow. Thanks for listening/reading and Love yall, take care! ✌️ & ❤️

      @@larryshair I also agree that the most tragic lie a person can convince themselves of is thinking no one will care that they are gone, like they won't be missed by any one, as if no one cares at all. So tragic but it's also a reason to tell my 2 amazing children (and friends and family and people in general) that they are so loved and appreciated each and every day. Thank you Chris for listening to my story. Keep doing what you do and keep being you because you really do help people like myself and many many others. It may just seem like a reaction video for you but the songs you choose and sometimes the stories you share can bring a smile or enlighten someone or expose them to a new feeling or inspiration through music, your thoughts and can change people for the better.

    I suffer pretty severe depression, for me I suffer in silence. I'm embarrassed by so much so nobody knows about it. Few months ago I attempted suicide. When I confided in my boss about my struggles he joked with me about it, told me I would never go through nor succeed in it. Right now I have a week off work and have no will to do anything but drink and sleep, its hard especially when you have no support.

You my friend have to talk to someone, you can't be alone with it... and if you're not ready to ask for help you can talk to thousands of people hiding behind their keyboards struggling with similar stuff. It helps too, it helps you understand you're not the only one in this dark place. Please don't drink too much... alcohol gives you extra confidence and mess up your mind even more which can lead to very bad things.

    I think by how much detail you actually pay attention to would put you in a great position to do some Bo Burnham reactions..
    I'm mentioning him here because a large part of his work deals with his own depression and mental health problems.
    I'll warn you though, this is a rabbit hole.
    Starting with his earlier stuff and moving forward would be best because it's really a pretty amazing journey to take, but since we're talking about depression here, I'd say go with "All Eyes On Me" to get an idea of what I'm talking about..
