    When a hardass like Eddie Kingston is crying you know he means it. This genuinely made me tear up, and that doesn’t happen with wrestling promos. All credit to him as a man. Fuck yeah Eddie

    Dammit, me trying to find every promo he cuts, every speech he gives, everytime he's on that mic, is a true testament to how real, how raw as a person, and how good of a person Eddie really is. I just found out about this guy weeks ago, but I heard his name thrown around for years, and now I see why. Truly the greatest and most inspiring wrestler of our time.

    "That shit should be every day.". So much this! Mental health is still not talked about enough.....and it's still stigmatized. Both need to change.

    Every time I think I couldn't love this man more, I find something else to admire about him. The thought that kids are going to grow up with him as a role model is incredibly comforting. I can't even begin to imagine how many lives he will improve or even save.

    Little late to the party I guess. Just seeing this video. I deal with depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Been feeling alone for the better part of 2 years. Slowly reminding myself that I'm really not alone, most days it's hard to remember. But, truth be told have 3 people who have been with me through most of my lowest moments, and 1 who's only really recently re-joined the story, but she's seen a few low points. Seeing guys like Eddie talk about this really does make me feel like I'm not alone...even if it's only for a few minutes. Talk to your friends and family every now and then. Especially this time of year. The holidays are hard for a lot of people.
    Sorry for rambling. Take Care and Stay Awesome!

    Thank you Eddie, utmost respect, it took a long time to admit that I was dealing with mental health issues, depression, anxiety, until I had an anxiety attack that landed me in the ER..I'm on meds now and slowly learning how to manage, it's scary and sooo many people won't get help because of the stigma surrounding mental health but the reality is so many of us deal with it daily and it's okay, it's okay to feel confused and sad it's okay to feel not okay but like Eddie said there are so many people who care about you who need you in their life, chin up.one day at a time it will get better trust and believe that, for those who are feeling some type of way right now don't give up it's gonna be okay really it will, just speak up...please!!!!

    ... Except for the people that **actually** have no connection to anyone, have exhausted their ability to vent and talk to the people available to them, and actually have nobody. But screw those people, they're the voiceless minority. They're just not in the right "headspace".
    Stuff like this always makes me upset and makes me sad. Look, I know there are a lot of people out there, particularly young people, that are overeager to say that they are alone and have no one to talk to when they clearly do, but there are also people out there that had enough time and experience-as well as the self-awareness-to determine that is indeed the case. Mental health is already an alienating thing-don't alienate chronic depressives further when it's coming from someone "like you", that's depressed and has the life "like you". Speaking from experience, as a chronic depressive for over 15 years-just because you have people "you can talk to" doesn't mean they're "good for you", "can help", "understand you" and can ask the right questions and give the right answers. Because it can cause more deep-rooted trauma and alienation than it's worth, trust me. It can really mess you up in the long run and make you feel more alone, complex and misunderstood than you can possibly imagine. It's not a one-size fits all. Just... growing tired of this empty, mental health platitude, "let me post the suicide hotline here" every time the common populous at large brings up mental health, when for an unknown sum of us, only makes it all worse-so much worse.
    Hope this helps, to those people, like myself. Been wanting to make a comment like this on the internet for a long while now but wasn't confident or energetic enough to do it.
    EDIT: Or to write it or articulate it well enough. It's still not as on-point and spoken as well as it is in my head and soul, but it's the best I can manage. I don't know. Wish I could do it proper justice-the proper truth.
