OR not even watch the freaking video, she is saying directly multiple times that this is to help peolpe to overcome suicidal behavior! also I agree with you.
This video has helped me stay alive. I come back to it when I'm struggling and it reminds me that I don't actually want to die, I just want my pain to stop. Thank you Teal.
I just watched the BBCs Report on Teal Swan and what they call "the visualization of death." A person watching this video is already suicidal and unstable. Heck, Teal Swan and this video saved my life 4 years ago when I was all alone in a foreign country struggling with severe depression. Her saying to visualize what happens when I die, imagine my funeral, imagine all the details etc. I realized I can't do it because it would kill my family, breaks their hearts forever, break my mother's heart, my sibling's heart. The video also empowered me that I always have the option of suicide, I have this power, but that made me realize I also have the power to change! Change my situation, change the circumstances, that I am not helpless, I can do something about this. I can understand that people who still then decide to commit suicide, it was their decision, we have to accept it. But for me, it was not an viable option anymore. So this is my objection to BBCs report on Teal Swan. They clearly haven't seen this video.
I think that's my problem. My family didn't show up for me when my mother was disabled, my father was chronically working and I was being S3xually A$$aulted since 5 years old. The idea of turning off the flesh vehicle and making them all get together to talk about how much they f--ked up makes me kinda feel better. That's my biggest problem.
"You don't want to die, what you want is an end to your pain." I feel so seen, heard, and validated. I'm going to show this to my partner tonight, I know it's going to help him so much. Thank you so incredibly much for this. 💗
No I want to die I can’t help it tho I use drugs for the pain the video’s don’t help me but the comments do knowing I’m not the only one helps me honestly
You don't want to die, what you want is an end to your pain." I don't believe that is true for all. Some are just tired of life's continuing struggles and pain , and want to be done with it once and for all. At least i do, and struggle with that thought process.
I have been to the hospital in crisis. They sent me home and later told my mental health team that I was drunk!!! I wasn’t. I don’t trust anyone anymore
Teal, thank you for this. There’s a reason that it wasn’t deleted from UA-cam. I’m highly surprised they left it in here. Only people who’ve been truly suicidal understand this video. Thank you ❤
My brother just came in my room, he’s not very good with words but the combination of he just giving me a hug & being with me for a while and your words saved me tonight.
Although I am not a person who deals with suicidal thoughts, I watched this video, being happy that Teal Swan made such a compassionate, helpful, and empowering video for my fellow humans all over the world who deal with this problem 💖
Synchronicity once again ❤ bless you all who felt the need to click on this video. We can overcome it. "There isn't a problem in this Universe that doesn't have a solution."
I needed this today. I was suicidal Monday but my friend saved my life. I have been overworking myself and Thursday I was at my wits end. I did what was right and I was put on leave. I'm completely fine now and want to work. I've got no one else in my life so I have to focus on what I can do and everything else will fall in place.
I agree with what you say about Suicide being taboo among professionals & I wish that the treatment available wasn’t so invasive. I wish it could just be talked about 😢
Just wanted to add like many others, this video saved my life a few years ago when all else had failed. I came looking for it to share it with a relative who is going through the same thing now and was so disappointed to realise it is being blocked by people who have no idea what a life-saving perspective-shifting and validating resource this is to someone who has completely given up!
I used to suffer from depression an anxiety. Still, sometimes I feel anxious. Two years ago I tricked my brain, kind of promised myself that only two years I will try my best to live like a normal girl and try to fix my broken pieces as much as I can, to be happy. I said to myself, only two years and then you can do whatever you want, you can commit suicide etc. It helped me. Now I'm here, I love my job and I am glad that I am alive. I'm learning to love myself. Life is not perfect,but still it's beautiful and worth to be loved.
The Mental health system has made me feel worse every time I’ve reached out to therapists- acting like there’s something wrong with me which makes me feel worse❤ these videos are so helpful ❤
Mental abuse from my wife and daughters made me try to end my life ,I have a therapist even made her cry from the hell I'm going thru can't afford divorce I'm trapped but trying to survive in a positive way thank you teal love you dear ❤
Dear Teal, thank you so much for offering genuine wisdom and understanding in this video. You offered a deeply stable and insightful message that unfortunately, some therapists never understand. And you offered some follow-up options. I thank you.
Whenever I tried to unlive myself, something always "saved" me. I now understand that there is probably some higher power that just doesn't want me to kll myself. This fact did not definitely relieve me of my depression and my suffering. I suffer and wish to live no longer. I don't understand what I'm supposed to be here for. I don't do anything in my life and I don't want anything, I just wish not to be. Living just drives me crazy. I'm thinking of trying again. I recently started meditating, and I actually realized that meditation helps me to become more aware of how much I hate everything.
I hadn't thought about suicide in a long time, but for the last few months, it had been on my mind almost every day. It got worse just a few days ago. I wanted to end my pain. I told myself everything you just said in this video and I pulled myself out of that hole. I didn't feel like I could tell anyone, but I told my partner and I instantly felt better, even though she didn't tell me anything helpful. Our pain just wants to be acknowledged, we don't wanna hear how beautiful life is because we can't even fathom such perspective during those times. Your teachings pulled me out of suicide mode, once again. I will be forever grateful for that 💜 I need to do everything I want as if I have a terminal illness. That gave me such a rush of hope and energy! Thank you Teal!!
@@illillyillyo I didn't know about it being deleted, I remember re-watching it year ago. I don't use social media, I'm not following news so I didn't know. Thanks for info!
I'm in a war torn country, my relationship with my spouse as well as myself is a mess, my life choices of the last 10 years (stay at home mom of 2) have turned a huge mistake. I grew distant from my friends and my family. My way of relating to people through fawning and accomodating and hiding my true feelings has led me into this crap. I see no hope, no matter where I look. I've been incredibly lonely my whole life mostly because I never show it. If I don't change, I'll collapse. But I don't have resources for it. I'm experiencing extreme shame because I made so many poor choices and indulged an illusion and it hits me hard now. I won't go because it would break my kids heart, I have to stick around for them.
The thing is, I was abused and neglected by both of my parents, and isolated from everyone else most of my childhood. I've been healing for years, and I have had happy times before. The thing is, I'm so completely terrified of actually being happy and vulnerable, especially after my awakening where I can't pretend to enjoy false interactions or false aspirations anymore, that my mind says I'd rather die than move forward with my life. I'd rather die than be happy or successful or loved or have friends or a partner or let anyone anywhere near the real me. That, and the pain of what life has been so far is so great and I get more awareness of how bad it was by the day and it is a lot..I will never get any of those years back. I will never get a youth like other people do/have because I was so highly traumatized.
My last living parent is in the hospital & I don't think I can survive losing him..Both parents were abusive, but I will always love them. I know people double my age with both parents. I want so badly to give up. I'm having mini seizures. I have a brain tumor. I just don't see the point. But every time I've tried to commit serious suicide attempts, I've survived. I fail, even at suicide. I feel like a prisoner. I want to die..I want to forget the pain. But I don't want to reincarnate into a life like this again. Im a failure + I have PTSD, heart problems, scoliosis, asthma & ..a huge list if other issues...But people don't see that from the outside. If I can't change the world for the better, I have no purpose.
I’m in a very similar situation. And something that helped me (as a first step) was to allow myself to stop feeling guilty for not being able to “change the world for the better”. And even go as far as to take that pressure off myself to try. Because my hope and intent is to live a life of purpose and service, but that won’t happen unless I learn to be of service to myself first. Releasing this idea helped me feel lighter and better enough that I could take the next step towards working on myself.
Oh my goodness Teal Swan I absolutely love you you're probably never read this comment but the look on your face when you're like don't try to be positive as matter fact don't even write a positive affirmation like I had to stop it right there and say you're phenomenal you make every cell in my body giggle at a macro and a microcosmic level
I’m so glad teal reuploaded this video. It has helped and will continue to help so many people. People can’t stand the truth. Simply because they live in lies. I’m sorry but anyone who has an issue with this video is just simply out of alignment. Real recognizes real. Period.
I hate that Teal gets attacked for this. If you have struggled with this then you know it’s so important to be able to talk about it openly. Pushing away the intrusive thoughts make them louder and louder and people need tools for working through them.
Teal you helped me, You have clearly worded a very confusing process. I have hope again, because I feel seen, we feel so alone when we are overwhelmed, this video has been invaluable. It is extremely well put together. this video has taken alot of the preconceived idea of stigma out of the muddle that is the web of overwelm
Shakeya D yes it is :) the original video was deleted by UA-cam, so she reuploaded it 2 months later. I guess her team changed something in it to make it more appropriate for UA-cam, idk
I feel so completely alone in my pain. I would love to connect to people who experience what I´m experiencing. Everyone tries to tell me my life is worth living and that I´m valuable to others, but that makes my pain even worse. I never thought my life wasn´t valuable or worth living. I actually think life can be wonderful and I´m grateful for so many things. My problem is that I just cannot seem to live outside my head. I´m just not capable of being in the present. About ten years ago I decided that suicide was would always be there for me a last resort and I tried to "live" my life: travel, do the things on my bucket list and get out there. But I keep coming back to square 1. I just want to get out of my head and take action! I feel so paralized.... I´m so sick of pretending that everyting is fine...
That's kind of how I feeI. But I know my grown chiIdren, who right now don't want anything to do with me, will be mad at me. They'll Iie to their chiIdren, of course, bc they're far better parents than I was. What so many ppl don't understand is that once this option has been on the table, it's always there for us. No one who has never considered this gets that. My life is at its lowest point & instead of anyone heIping me, they're all ''too busy with their own lives''. I just took a shower & realized it was the 1st one I'd taken in nearly a year. I'm down to under IOOIbs at 5'IO'' & no one says anything (in the rare cases when I see them). I can't even get my doctors to care. With no car, no job & no income, I will be homeless in less than IO days. I have lost all contact with former friends.
ive never watched teal swan videos religiously and am not subcribed too her but her videos have gave me some perspective in the past, only watched this video as it was on the bbc i cant see the problem with this video that the bbc does, its a very sobering video thats straight to the point, you have to be commited and find purpose in life and thats what creats a drive too live. one thing i learned through psychedelics is death is liberation from self but even if your in great iternal pain where life feel unbearable, being human is far more of a fun game to play on the spectrum of life and to be human is too be blessed, there is great pain and on the flip side great joy its the blessing and the curse of the human condition
i have expressed my emotions in all the possible ways... nobody cares. I know the only way for me is to pay for help. the completion process has been great for me, but I can't afford more than one session every 6 or 9 months. I'm broke, with too many responsabilities (animals and kids), no time, no energy and no hope.
Here's my tiny story. I felt suicidal in a foreign land. Problem: the best way was jumping from height. Problem: I was in a place where the highest building was 4 storeys high. Problem: I actually am proud enough to think my body is too good to die from 4 storeys high. Serious. So I told myself .... it's okay for now, I can kill myself when I happen to transfer to a big city with skyscapers amd condominums after a few months. The time came when I had to move. I moved. I pin-pointed the exact building and level to jump off. I knew exactly where. I knew the landing spot. I knew the time. I knew what to do if while going up, someone spotted me and suspected me for not looking like I belonged in that building. I had emergency plans ready. Nothing would stop me from jumping and dying except some bloody angel swooping in and rescuing me during the fall. To add: I was a staunch christian. No, not the Joel Osteen, rock music church type. I went to a very fundamental church. Movies are from hell, pop music is from hell, etc. I was a real christian. I knew my bible. I could destroy atheist professors with my theology. I knew my God. I knew my faith. And here's the point: I KNEW I WAS GOING TO HEAVEN. Now you tell me what should I do? Live thi shityy life on earth? Or die and go to heaven. there wasnt A HINT of doubt in my mind. You wont understand but just believe my story now. I knew dying would not only end it all, I was GOING TO HEAVEN. I would pray while weeping, " God, I am fine being a cleaner cleaning the outer gates of heaven. I dont give a shyt about your crowns and mansions. I dont give a shyt if I am the poorest in heaven." So how did I not do it? I had the plan in my mind. I had it. I was just waiting for the trigger. Just the trigger. I wanted it. I waited like I was the one with the power. Go ahead, push me, go ahead, anger, I'll do it. I told myself, give it a week. Give it a month. Give it a year. The tall building is always there. It isnt going anywhere. If it disappears, then I'll bloody go to the building beside it. All this happened 4 years ago. Every tiny air particle I cannot see is glory to me now. Every thing. I still hate people. Theyre the only problem in the world. But I now believe I have all power to do what I want to do in my inner world. No government, no wicked family member can take what is inside me. Amd this power gives me the life to live every single day. I AM that I AM. I love myself more than ever. I love me, and I dont give a bloody apology for loving myself. I know I am better than those who made me feel crappy. I knoe theyre less enlightened, theyre dumber, theyll be less successful than I will be, they'll be feeling crappy when they see who I am when I am done with this suicidal phase. I know it makes me sound proud, but it is the truth, amd truth makes one sound proud. And I am not even going to say that oh, now I work for a suicidal non profit helping people to stop being suicidal. No, no, no. It is through my growing as a being, and gaining in physical health, possessions, glory, etc... WHILE never being like those who made me feel suicidal in the past. IT IS BY BEING SUCH A GOOD PERSON, SUCH A POWERFUL, GLORIOUS PERSON but being so down to earth, authentic, sincere, loving, etc.... that will make suicidal people I ever cross paths with to give up their suicidal feelings. I aint gonna tell them things will be better or that everyone loves them. Bullshyt. I am just gonna show them that we all have the power to choose. We are never WITHOUT CHOICE. We can all choose. ....and now that they know they have the power to choose..... I trust that they will ultimately exercise the freedom to live. It makes us who we are ultimately. We can choose life. We always can. And as long as we think we can, we will never choose death. And if we can choose life or death.... we can damn sure choose every other thing in the world. The turn during my suicidal phase, the realisation of the power in me wasnt just about not committing suicide. After getting over it, it threw me into a vortex of choosing better and better and better for my "new life". People, you have the power. That is what I want to say to you. You can choose life, then you can choose your career (or none), you can choose the body you want, you can choose your friends, AND YES, YOU CAN CHOOSE YOUR FAMILY. You can choose your success, you can choose the quiet and simple life if that is what you want. You can choose.
I am so very greatful for this amazing woman. I feel so very alone bc well I am. I wish I could have people Iike TEAL in my life. I hope to someday heal so I can be a match to that vibration and finally feel loved and supported. So forward I go on the journey of loving and supporting myself fully. I am making me and my happiness my only priority at this time as to hopefully save my life for the last time. Love to ALL..especially those that have suffered. We can change we can have a completely different life, I choose to believe this is true for its all that I have to hold on to right now.
Ive wanted to kill myself for a while. I have no friends, no family, failing school, failing work, and nobody seems to care. I have the opportunity but the only thing stopping me is “what if the afterlife really exists?”. I have always thought, “what if heaven or hell really does exist”. Im terrified of what could possibly happen if an afterlife did exist.
Because it acknowledge the pain we're going through, other's are just brushing throught the surfaces. Teal understand the emotional depth and wavelength we're in and addressed it word by word but with compassion
I remember when I was suicidal that yes, I would tell myself, "Can I live for 5more mins? Can I live for an hour? How about long enough for a movie? For a nap?" It really did help me, so if ever I am talking to someone suicidal, yes I do say these things. This is spot on, thank you Teal.
Anyone who thinks this
Video is “bad” or “dangerous” or “advocates suicide”. has clearly never been suicidal.
I heard that!!!!
Yuppp
Was thinking the exact same thing.
OR not even watch the freaking video, she is saying directly multiple times that this is to help peolpe to overcome suicidal behavior! also I agree with you.
HelloGorgeous1 thank you!
This video has helped me stay alive. I come back to it when I'm struggling and it reminds me that I don't actually want to die, I just want my pain to stop. Thank you Teal.
Same, although I'm not so sure I want to stay alive. I just come back to this at least once a month; but true enough, it keeps me going
@@jordyswaffleblanketfeel exactly the same 🥹
This is it. This is the video that saved my life
Me too.
Mine too.
Not one time, but everytime i feel that i want it all to stop and hopeless.
Love to read comments like this. Makes me cry 😭
And she got so much hate for it...

@@rbotdef7666 go watch Jordan Peterson on the same subject, it’s shorter, way more efficient and realistic.
Yes but the only way to end pain is to die

Exactly
I went into a crisis center feeling suicidal and was so invalidated by the therapist that I will stay away from any mental health facility.
Right? They make things only worse...
I had same experience
In my opinion they don’t help only run statistics and tests on us.
I can completely understand this. Lack of humanity in there.
I have been to the hospital in crisis. They sent me home and later told my mental health team that I was drunk!!! I wasn’t. I don’t trust anyone anymore
this is the inly thing that i felt "she understands me". This video right here helped me survive.
I broke down so badly watching this... Thank you, Teal... So much. For this.
I'm so glad this video is available again. The original video saved my life. Thank you Teal
You are a bold fearless leader, you truly see us Teal 💗
I'm crying. I needed this. Thank you teal

Can't you get away for few months to your parents home or somewhere?
I suffer from chronic depression. In the year 2021 my depression was at its worst. I take one day at a time.
I’m glad you posted this. So tired of the distorted coverage in the media...
Dear Teal, thank you so much for offering genuine wisdom and understanding in this video. You offered a deeply stable and insightful message that unfortunately, some therapists never understand. And you offered some follow-up options. I thank you.
The safety net you suggested, is very comforting and makes me live in the here and now and makes me enjoy life more.

This topic makes me cry because theirs alot of stigma with suicide like your a horrible person for wanting to commit suicide and that just isn't true
Think you y'all for not giving up

I’m so glad teal reuploaded this video. It has helped and will continue to help so many people. People can’t stand the truth. Simply because they live in lies. I’m sorry but anyone who has an issue with this video is just simply out of alignment. Real recognizes real. Period.
This video is absolutely genius and just changed my world. Thank you beautiful teal
I hate that Teal gets attacked for this. If you have struggled with this then you know it’s so important to be able to talk about it openly. Pushing away the intrusive thoughts make them louder and louder and people need tools for working through them.
Teal you helped me, You have clearly worded a very confusing process. I have hope again, because I feel seen, we feel so alone when we are overwhelmed, this video has been invaluable. It is extremely well put together. this video has taken alot of the preconceived idea of stigma out of the muddle that is the web of overwelm
Thank you Teal for this. You hit every note.
Thank you for answering my question Teal❤️❤️❤️
As someone with bipolar disorder and very unpredictable thoughts and mental states I really needed this
My uncle killed himself earlier this year. I so wish he had seen this. It moved me to tears.
Thank you, Teal. You always say something helpful. Love and hugs
Is this a repost? I love it!
Shakeya D yes it is :) the original video was deleted by UA-cam, so she reuploaded it 2 months later. I guess her team changed something in it to make it more appropriate for UA-cam, idk
Teal is always right. Where I live right now. There is lots of suicide. Much needed to hear from expert 💯❤️
Teal your such a beautiful creature. Physically as well as spiritualy.. I wish you nothing but good things in your life..
My dear , dear Teal
❤ sending you love too, Harel.
@@goldsteinist Thank you so much! Sending you love again 💜
Its back! Thank you 🥰
This video is powerfully positive. Thank you for re-posting. 🔮💪 the noise about this video is just that. Xo
I feel so completely alone in my pain. I would love to connect to people who experience what I´m experiencing. Everyone tries to tell me my life is worth living and that I´m valuable to others, but that makes my pain even worse. I never thought my life wasn´t valuable or worth living. I actually think life can be wonderful and I´m grateful for so many things. My problem is that I just cannot seem to live outside my head. I´m just not capable of being in the present. About ten years ago I decided that suicide was would always be there for me a last resort and I tried to "live" my life: travel, do the things on my bucket list and get out there. But I keep coming back to square 1. I just want to get out of my head and take action! I feel so paralized.... I´m so sick of pretending that everyting is fine...
Everyone talking about perfect timing.. I think energies in the sky currently are very difficult. Good video, as always!
This video immediately calmed me down. Thank you
Life ISN'T WORTH LIVING in this society
It is worth living for you! Stop caring about the society. Care about yourself do things that YOU like
Most helpful vid. I know that no one will care when I die
That's kind of how I feeI. But I know my grown chiIdren, who right now don't want anything to do with me, will be mad at me. They'll Iie to their chiIdren, of course, bc they're far better parents than I was. What so many ppl don't understand is that once this option has been on the table, it's always there for us. No one who has never considered this gets that. My life is at its lowest point & instead of anyone heIping me, they're all ''too busy with their own lives''. I just took a shower & realized it was the 1st one I'd taken in nearly a year. I'm down to under IOOIbs at 5'IO'' & no one says anything (in the rare cases when I see them). I can't even get my doctors to care. With no car, no job & no income, I will be homeless in less than IO days. I have lost all contact with former friends.
Thank you for this video
ive never watched teal swan videos religiously and am not subcribed too her but her videos have gave me some perspective in the past, only watched this video as it was on the bbc i cant see the problem with this video that the bbc does, its a very sobering video thats straight to the point, you have to be commited and find purpose in life and thats what creats a drive too live. one thing i learned through psychedelics is death is liberation from self but even if your in great iternal pain where life feel unbearable, being human is far more of a fun game to play on the spectrum of life and to be human is too be blessed, there is great pain and on the flip side great joy its the blessing and the curse of the human condition
i have expressed my emotions in all the possible ways... nobody cares. I know the only way for me is to pay for help. the completion process has been great for me, but I can't afford more than one session every 6 or 9 months. I'm broke, with too many responsabilities (animals and kids), no time, no energy and no hope.
Yep this video just saved another life
your last few videos really spoke to me , including this. its bizzare but im not complaining.
I been throwing up, gonna take a walk up the woods. Why do we have to be here? I wish i had a off switch and could have a year or 2 out
I love Teal so much! 🥰
Is what is taken out still somewhere to be found on the teal swan website?
Yeah, I'm wondering that, too. I wonder if it had to do with calling 911?
I'm pretty sure that what she had to take out was the exercise of imagining one's funeral.
There are people on UA-cam outside of teal swan channel that reposted it.
Here's my tiny story. I felt suicidal in a foreign land. Problem: the best way was jumping from height. Problem: I was in a place where the highest building was 4 storeys high. Problem: I actually am proud enough to think my body is too good to die from 4 storeys high. Serious.
So I told myself .... it's okay for now, I can kill myself when I happen to transfer to a big city with skyscapers amd condominums after a few months.
The time came when I had to move. I moved. I pin-pointed the exact building and level to jump off. I knew exactly where. I knew the landing spot. I knew the time. I knew what to do if while going up, someone spotted me and suspected me for not looking like I belonged in that building. I had emergency plans ready. Nothing would stop me from jumping and dying except some bloody angel swooping in and rescuing me during the fall.
To add: I was a staunch christian. No, not the Joel Osteen, rock music church type. I went to a very fundamental church. Movies are from hell, pop music is from hell, etc. I was a real christian. I knew my bible. I could destroy atheist professors with my theology. I knew my God. I knew my faith. And here's the point: I KNEW I WAS GOING TO HEAVEN.
Now you tell me what should I do? Live thi shityy life on earth? Or die and go to heaven. there wasnt A HINT of doubt in my mind. You wont understand but just believe my story now. I knew dying would not only end it all, I was GOING TO HEAVEN. I would pray while weeping, " God, I am fine being a cleaner cleaning the outer gates of heaven. I dont give a shyt about your crowns and mansions. I dont give a shyt if I am the poorest in heaven."
So how did I not do it?
I had the plan in my mind. I had it. I was just waiting for the trigger. Just the trigger. I wanted it. I waited like I was the one with the power. Go ahead, push me, go ahead, anger, I'll do it.
I told myself, give it a week. Give it a month. Give it a year. The tall building is always there. It isnt going anywhere. If it disappears, then I'll bloody go to the building beside it.
All this happened 4 years ago.
Every tiny air particle I cannot see is glory to me now. Every thing. I still hate people. Theyre the only problem in the world.
But I now believe I have all power to do what I want to do in my inner world. No government, no wicked family member can take what is inside me.
Amd this power gives me the life to live every single day. I AM that I AM.
I love myself more than ever. I love me, and I dont give a bloody apology for loving myself. I know I am better than those who made me feel crappy. I knoe theyre less enlightened, theyre dumber, theyll be less successful than I will be, they'll be feeling crappy when they see who I am when I am done with this suicidal phase. I know it makes me sound proud, but it is the truth, amd truth makes one sound proud.
And I am not even going to say that oh, now I work for a suicidal non profit helping people to stop being suicidal. No, no, no.
It is through my growing as a being, and gaining in physical health, possessions, glory, etc... WHILE never being like those who made me feel suicidal in the past.
IT IS BY BEING SUCH A GOOD PERSON, SUCH A POWERFUL, GLORIOUS PERSON but being so down to earth, authentic, sincere, loving, etc.... that will make suicidal people I ever cross paths with to give up their suicidal feelings.
I aint gonna tell them things will be better or that everyone loves them. Bullshyt.
I am just gonna show them that we all have the power to choose. We are never WITHOUT CHOICE. We can all choose.
....and now that they know they have the power to choose..... I trust that they will ultimately exercise the freedom to live. It makes us who we are ultimately. We can choose life. We always can. And as long as we think we can, we will never choose death.
And if we can choose life or death.... we can damn sure choose every other thing in the world.
The turn during my suicidal phase, the realisation of the power in me wasnt just about not committing suicide. After getting over it, it threw me into a vortex of choosing better and better and better for my "new life".
People, you have the power. That is what I want to say to you. You can choose life, then you can choose your career (or none), you can choose the body you want, you can choose your friends, AND YES, YOU CAN CHOOSE YOUR FAMILY. You can choose your success, you can choose the quiet and simple life if that is what you want. You can choose.
It is not temporary not for me for 30 years it's been different pain but same agony this will help some but not me.
I feel like you can read my mind sometimes teal
what is the point to stay alive if nothing ever changes?
I am so very greatful for this amazing woman. I feel so very alone bc well I am. I wish I could have people Iike TEAL in my life. I hope to someday heal so I can be a match to that vibration and finally feel loved and supported. So forward I go on the journey of loving and supporting myself fully. I am making me and my happiness my only priority at this time as to hopefully save my life for the last time. Love to ALL..especially those that have suffered. We can change we can have a completely different life, I choose to believe this is true for its all that I have to hold on to right now.
Ive wanted to kill myself for a while. I have no friends, no family, failing school, failing work, and nobody seems to care. I have the opportunity but the only thing stopping me is “what if the afterlife really exists?”. I have always thought, “what if heaven or hell really does exist”. Im terrified of what could possibly happen if an afterlife did exist.
You can watch some NDE videos.
Pain would be a welcome emotion or feeling. Pain is being alive. I've come to realize I'm a "Non-Player-Character" (NPC)
Thank you so much
thanks for saving my life.
This is how I survived my suicidal thoughts. This video resonates with me. Take it 5 minutes at a time. Teal keep doing what you are doing.
I love the background
All I can say is Thank You...…...
47k people including myself: 😔🔫
This video is saving my life
I agree with you 100 percent!! Thank You for sharing this!!
Contrast this video with the nonsense being offered on the 988 line. Swan actually offers empathy.
rhank you
Im waiting till its dark then do the act but it must be dark so the train driver cant see me till its too late
Teal, I'd hug you if I could. Thank you for this.
It's hopeless. I don't want to exist anymore.
Thank you.
I usually hate videos that say to watch this when suicidal. This one however actually calmed me down. Thank you.
Me too
Me too..
Me too
Ok
Because it acknowledge the pain we're going through, other's are just brushing throught the surfaces. Teal understand the emotional depth and wavelength we're in and addressed it word by word but with compassion
Honestly if UA-cam tries to delete this again, it’s doing a massive disservice to the world. This and many of teal’s videos saved my life many times.
UA-cam never deleted it. She did. To cover her own ass. We exposed her 7 years ago.
@@increasement what are you even saying get a life and stop hating. Teal has 1M subs
@@increasement her teaching is solid. So what did you "expose" exactly?
Saved me too
Many times
I remember when I was suicidal that yes, I would tell myself, "Can I live for 5more mins? Can I live for an hour? How about long enough for a movie? For a nap?" It really did help me, so if ever I am talking to someone suicidal, yes I do say these things. This is spot on, thank you Teal.
This has been the most effective tool for me in staving off suicide.

Everytime I've decided to live, things get worse.
