Though I was not aware of Jared's charity/campaign when he first started it, AKF/SPN/Jared came into my life when I really needed it. I've had a few times in my adult life when I just wasn't sure if I was meant to keep going. The 2nd time I was at one of these crossroads is when I was introduced to the show Supernatural, Jared and his charity AKF. And it saved me. All of it.
this man is the reason i'm still here, i have severe anxiety and depression. i met jared on may 25th 2019, so a year ago as of tomorrow and i thanked him and he was so sweet, although it was only like 30 seconds i felt so safe with him. i love jared so much & i'm so proud of him
I just had an epiphany. I've always shied away from the AKF message, judging myself, thinking I'd given up because I wasn't as successful as I thought I should be, or as active in life as I used to be. But I just realized that I have kept fighting, because I'm still here, and there were times in my life I didn't think I could go on. Thank you, Jared, and you're welcome. And thank you Starseed Pictures. ♥
Every day that you open your eyes and take a breath, is proof of a night you survived the battle. You're stronger than you may think sometimes. And it's that inner strength that keeps you waking up every morning. You're welcome, Donna.
For years, YEARS, my brain repeated the mantra, "I don't deserve love, I wish I could die." It was almost comforting to have that in my mind. I started fighting it. When my brain wants to say that I just don't. I'm not going to keep letting myself feel bad. I'm not 100% healthy by any means and I know that I really need to see a therapist to help work through so much garbage but just not saying horrible things to myself has helped a little bit. Baby steps I guess.
Thankyou! As a child I was told tell no one my negative feelings. I followed the rules, until something terrible happened and I couldn't pull myself up. I sought help and I'm so glad I was brave enough to do this. 😊
God bless you & thank you for sharing ,I call depression & anxiety the invisible illness ,I have learned to live with it for many years ,it is terrible thing to go through ,& like you I am a fighter ,keep strong & bless you & your beautiful family 🌈🌈🙏🌷
It’s Christmas Eve and I just watched this for the first time. Tomorrow as we all sit down for our Christmas dinner, there will be an empty chair as it has been since July 20th 2008, the day my brother chose to leave us. I always struggle with him leaving us especially during the holidays. This really lifted my spirit. Thank you for speaking out and for making this available. I wish it had by available in ‘08 but my prayer and hope is that others won’t have that empty chair thanks to y’all.
Keeping a secret is always a tough thing, mainly from the people we love so much. We may wanna say it and get it over with but we can't because of many reasons. Like jared said, it can be a good and beautiful secret but things can turn very bad once we reveal them. When sometimes one think about the after affects of revealing it. Man it can cause a lot of distress to a person and sometimes it gives a lot of bad thoughts to stop them in anyway possible, they can get strong on a very bad day. I can relate to it on so many levels. But anyways, I'm really sorry for this rant. Jared thank you so very much for creating AKF and for being simply an amazing person and talking about this. It means a lot to me because when I look up to you, my idol, I see someone that is fighting just like me (not in a wrong, like Jared said in the video). You're an amazing person, Jared. Thank you so so much for existing and I love you dearly. Also You're very welcome because I will always keep fighting.
Jared you have such a kind heart and soul. I love you for all you do to help people. If you know or not even watchin supernatural when things looked at there worst you got up and went on. This stuck with me and probably always will. I think that alone helped people pull back up and take that next step. Loved you and jensen on supernatural. Love the walker shows so congrats on everything yall do. Yall have worked hard to get down that road and hope yall are brothers forever. Love to you
We have made it very affordable and the rental price won't be more than what one pays itunes or amazon for a movie. It's important to us that this film reach all who need its message. Email us at info@starseedpictures.net We will work with you.
Before I started watching Supernatural, I was ready to quit. That sounds dark, but it's true. I felt worthless, terrible, gross, and I still do. But finding this campaign has helped me so much. I no longer always feel that way. I do get that way sometimes, but because of Jared, Jensen, Misha, and all of these amazing people working with the show, I found a will to keep fighting my fight. And if once in a while I go to my online bookmarks to just read the IMAlive website and stories from it, it's never been so that I don't feel bad for giving up. It's so I feel good about surviving. So thank you, Jared and Starseed Pictures for bringing this to me, and you're welcome. You help us just as much as we help you.
I already struggle with anxiety and depression tho it has gotten better it's still hard. And thank you Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki for making such an inspiring and helpful campaign we love you for it
For the past 15 years I've woke up every morning disappointed that I'm awake, I fight every second of every day not to take my life, to be listened to and treated as a valid human being, to no avail, NO ONE wants to hear!! As emotionally and physically tired that I am of fighting it's all I have left. Take care, stay safe from England
Why aren't there more comments? "Oh my me" L🔥🥃 JARED Padalecki gave me confidence to help spread Awareness of mental health on my social media platform. I thank him so much. I'm glad he used his platform for good. I appreciate him so much. Love this dude. 🤠🐎🙏 Thank you so much for filming this and sharing with us.
Thank you Jared for helping me pull myself back together after I hit my absolute rock bottom and for everything else! You and Jensen and Misha have been able to make me smile and laugh when I felt like it wasn’t possible and yall inside me to always keep fighting and never give up again! I have much love and respect for all of you on Supernatural!❤️ and thanks again for helping save my life❤️
Has this come out? Recently, 5 days ago, lost a fellow chronic pain pt ( cpp) to suicide due to untreated pain. Most people dont know that fall out of drug crisis is millions of doctors refusing to Rx pain easing meds leading to suicides. That said, the SN message of always keep fighting carried, and thats the word, carried me through a paticular horrific time in my life, as it has so many! ( my husband and best friend died wirhin 12 hours of each other. I have no family. At that time, " friends" becane hard to find. I waa a mess! Only thing I could count on was SN every day. It got me through. Im doing great! So, THANK YOU JARED!! That is the message as a Cpp advocate I later carried/carry to the Cpp community: Keep Fighting! Never give uo!
Thank you Jared. You’ve gotten me through a lot with AKF, YANA, and now You Define You. Actually working on making myself feel better at the moment and that’s why I found this video. And you’re welcome Jared. Love you. And love all y’all fans too.
You’re welcome and Thank You for all YOU have done, no chick flick moments right now but you have kicked ass and took names with all that you have done for the campaign and with Gen and the Kiddos: Odette(ladies first), Tom and Shep. Let’s not forget the animals either! You are a true survivor and you have taught me how me to try to be...So THANK YOU!
A classmate of mine committed suicide a couple years ago. It was so shocking to me. He was always the class clown but now that hes gone i saw the signs of him struggling. He jokingly talked about suicidal stuff but since he would always joke around i didnt take it seriously, I wish i said something, i wish i asked him if he was ok. Its something il always regret
I bought the ticket to the digital premier tomorrow a long time ago, but I just realized I don't have an account to the website?? Other than the PayPal stub I don't have anything from you guys. No email, no instruction...I hope it would all work out tomorrow because right now I'm totally confused...
Jared I'm 51 years old and I have a lot going on and have been for over a year my life is overwhelming and I'm barely hanging on I have nobody to depend on or turn to and I'm tired of doing it alone please give me some advice I'd be grateful

Hearing his story over and over is what helps me....supernatural and the cast has been a life saver but it helps to know im not alone

You're very welcome and most importantly thank you so much for AKF and everything. You're an amazing human.
I am VERY honored to have been a part of this amazing eye opening documentary!

Actually if you listen to the last 50 seconds, he telling you to tell him something! 😊
