“Depression tricks happy people into thinking they’re alone.” You summed it up perfectly. You can have genuine joy in your life and still experience some unbearably dark moments. Please find someone you trust to let them know when you’re in that dark place. Be vulnerable with your loved ones. And check in on your family and friends, even the ones who seem like they’ve got it all together. They might need your support the most.
Some of us are really alone. It is not a trick.
This is so true I deal with it daily 😂
I felt that one too.

Black Equality, is what Twitch was fighting for. Which was causing his depression. Are we not going to mention that?
I saw the news yesterday morning and I will never forget my reaction. No, no, no, no, not this one. Not this family. No. Having severe depression, I can understand the why and how a person gets to that point, but Twitch was the kind of person us depressed people seek out and want to be around. That uplifting light and smile we need to see to help us through. I seek out positivity, and that makes him the last person I thought I'd be mourning. This one gut-punched me.
I FELT THE SAME WAY WHEN I HEARD ABOUT tWitch. I couldn't believe it
I'm still in shock😢 I'm 60 and I always love watching him dance. I hope Allison and the kids get professional help during this sad time. My condolences to his family, children, and friends. R.I.P. Twitch you will be miss!!!
I am so sad about Twitch. Everyone keeps talking about "you need talk with somebody", you need to look to somebody", but a lot of time this "somebody " doesn't wants talk with negative, some really say "be far away from people negative, those who put you down", it forces people to act like they're happy, because shows their emotion will be back like they're weak. I am really sad about him and his babies.
Well if that's somebody doesn't want to talk there's always the 1-800 numbers that do want to talk put the 1-800 number out there let the mentally ill people know we're here if you need to talk yeah
Absolutely, I agree it's hard to believe and saddens us. You're correct in these times we're definitely experiencing negative forces in this world. But we can counteract this with a higher force to overcome darkness which is to "Love". Those of you who are a light shine for whoever is in your space to be that positive impact wherever you go. These times are definitely uncertain so, we must be persistent in promoting self-care for ourselves and sharing and being supportive with others. We all certainly feel impacted by a loss of life in the same way. God Bless
❤❤❤❤

@@Purpleeye600 but a stranger wouldn't understand the way ur loved ones would
I feel that for beautiful souls like tWitch, who selflessly put out so much of their happiness and joy into the world, it’s almost like they leave none of that for themselves. It’s such an act of heartbreaking generosity. Praying for his family 💔🙏
So true. He tried to be all things to all people and that's exhausting emotionally and mentally.
Well said!
I definitely feel this statement to the core and completely agree
Such a very powerful statement.
Really? He was selfish to leave his family to mourn and suffer instead of having the courage to get help.
This is heartbreaking. I'm shocked, he looked happy. Sometimes we don't know what people are going through. Condolences to his family
Stephen Laurel Boss should not be dead
Thank you for covering this story so respectfully and for really talking about how much tWitch affected people. His dancing and personality has brought me so much joy ever since seeing him on SYTYCD and I, just like everyone else, assumed he was very happy. Despite the fact that I myself fall into that same category of seemingly always happy from outsiders perspective despite battling major depression for over 13 years of my life. Everyone, please check on even your seemingly happiest friends because you never know what they might be going through internally and your support could mean a lot to them. And if you're like me, please reach out for help in whatever way you can whether that's to family members, friends, a therapist or a hotline. Sending love and support to everyone out there, but especially to Allison, Weslie, Maddox, and Zaia.
People give the energy they need. He hyped and lifted people up,because he needed that from others. Some give everyone love, because they need love. Regardless of how much we love our loved ones, they can still be overcome by depression. We need to remind each other that we are not alone.
Spot on.
I love that.
People give out the energy they need! Wow never thought of it that way
I don't follow Celebrities, but Twicht was different. He always lifted my spirits. What brought him to do such a thing. Twitch, we will all miss you.❤️
Just so devastating. You never know what is someone's story. People hide their sadness and depression very very well. My prayers are with the family.
Depression is real.We mask it at times.Its no joke.Black people have a tendencia to think there strong.We are but dont hurt to get profesional help.Talk yo domeone..
He may not have just "seemed" to be happy. With depression, there are not always dots to connect. And not all of us who wrestle with depression feel alone. In my case, I am very joyful, grateful, outgoing, creative, active, full of laughter, in therapy weekly, helping others...but when hopelessness does set in, it can take me to dangerous lows. When you ask me how I'm doing and I say "fine", I really mean it. While it's important that we do check in on our loved ones, you should know that the moment you check on them, they may be doing great, so do not feel guilty or responsible if that person later leaves here at their own hands. It's not a clear cut condition and checking in is the most loving thing you can do, even if it doesn't save them 🙏🏽💖
Amen to that!
Beautifully said..
So true. Sometimes we're fine but then saddness and depressive moments overtake us. It really takes a miracle and strength from within or high above to get through.
Same here. I can’t imagine ever getting low enough to act but man I’ve hit it pretty low sometimes. It takes daily sometimes hourly repetitive structure, pray, balance, fresh air, laughing. Takes a whole lot to run the machine that runs me I try hard to grin and bare it if I just talk myself into knowing tomorrow is a new day and when I don’t know what to do I try my hardest to remain the same and do nothing new when I’m unsure. It’s hard seeing these things happen tho. I can’t remember the last performer but really cried about if I ever have. I think notorious big has been the only other. Crazy. So sad. What a loss. But hey well said. We gotta care for one another. Rest is just extra fluff
Hello there nice to meet you here I was thinking if we can keep in touch
"Depression tricks happy people into thinking they're alone". Though I've never experienced depression, that really stood out to me.
It's like Robin Williams so much loved by everyone and same here. I loved this guy and yes he lit up the whole place when he stepped on stage. I will miss him. Prayers are here from the country of Panama
Depression is a disease. It's something I've truly only felt this year in honest waves of hopelessness and crippling fear. It's more than just a sadness, it can be so scary...I've always misinterpreted it with sadness - but it's so much worse. I am so sorry for the pain that Stephen had, and I am so sorry that this demon got to him. To those who are dealing with this disease, as so many of us are, please remember the child you once were; imagine that child and protect that child as best as you can
Mental illness is a fatal disease. It should be treated as such. People's rights are given more importance than their well-being in many cases. I don't know at all what was going on with him. However, I was a psych RN for 35 years. I have seen many tragedies related to mental illness. I wish I knew an answer.
@@glendagrant9042 yes I don't think he had depression he lost his mind.
His smile was contagious. RIP you loving talented kind man
Depression is real and serious n no joke no matter what happens or what he went through he was pure joy n his laugh n smile n he was great man n dancer
Sending love and deep sympathy to family and friends from
Durban South Africa
Remember seeing tWitch for the 1st time on So You Think You Can Dance and was blown away by his amazing energy and moves
May he RIP 😢💕

Sometimes " pain " is artfully concealed and hidden in a box wrapped with ribbons and bows. RIP Stephen
So true. This is what happened with Robin Williams. A lot of people hide their depression with, dancing, laughter and comedy. So many comedians hide their depression by being funny until they are not by committing suicide. It’s very sad. RIP tWitch.
"Depression tricks happy people into thinking they're alone". Well put
So sad! He was such a lovely person! Depression is so cruel. The worst of it are the victims families. The guilt it brings and the missing of that loved one. Last month a distant family member only 17 was found dead by police. He left no note but knew it was suicide. They saw it on a video outside. He was absolutely just fine when his father dropped him off at school. No one even had a clue why even his friends. He wasnt on drugs no blackmailing. Sad Christmas this year
RUclips Teezy T Pandemic Struggling. Song says it all. Man
He was possessed by a demonic spirit of suicide.
This is heartbreaking 😓
@anita capilato Has the contents of the note been revealed?
My condolence to the family's and friends 🌹❤️😘
We must always listen with our hearts. We never know what others are going through. RIP Twitch. Heaven got a class act. Condolences to Allison and the Boss family & close friends.
My prayers are with you and all of your family at this time. May God help you all through this to heal & love each other. No one can ever take your memories away. Take care.
He had a bright happy outlook, inside was a different story. People can feel that way inside
He got me through some of my worst days, I would watch that show just to see his energy. This is so shocking
So sad he was such a special human being and whenever I saw him on whatever program He put a smile on my face
So, so sorry to hear tWitch has died; I remember him from the Ellen show and he was just the best ever! He will be so missed by so many. RIP man.
It’s impossible that his wife doesn’t know what’s happening to her husband for sure she notice strange things before this happened…honestly she is the only answer to solve this questions of ours…AND RIP TWITCH 🙏🙏🙏
Maybe she's telling the truth. She's probably I'm shock. However, hindsight is always 20/20 and signs that may have been missed may reveal themselves.
Not true ppl that have depression for years don’t share their inner struggles with any one
People who have extreme level of compassion undergo extreme levels of pain . Through empaths you can feel what are feeling on every level , guard your energy
This is not what he deserves not even his family 💔💔
I have been watching him for a long time . Especially during COVID he and his wife was teaching dance moves. Rest In Peace Brother!
Unbelievably sad. I cannot imagine what his family is going through. I think it's going to be doubly difficult for the children, especially this time of year. As it was said, no one knows what was he was going through. He seemed to be such a lovely, happy person. He must have been in such pain.
I hope the media AND media _trolls_ leave his family & friends alone to grieve and get through this tragedy in peace. Condolences to his family. 💗 RIP Stephen tWitch Boss. Be well with the Angles 🌹🕊
I'm familiar with this type of loss - *_Please, anyone who is feeling overwhelmed, Please reach out to someone_*
-Thank you BT for putting the outreach numbers on the screen.
Thank you for speaking about this issue in a respectful way and for speaking about it period! And for sharing help options. I am absolutely heartbroken over this incredibly sad and shocking news. 😔🙏🏽
Hello there nice to meet here can we be friends
tWitch emanated joy. Always made me feel better. Such a sad, sad loss. So much of a future ahead of him. So sad for his wife, kids, family and friends. Thanks tWitch, you made me smile.
The way they ended the show yesterday with this news was terrible. I’m happy they took the time to honour this man the right way. ❤
Hello there nice to meet here can we be friends?
I am an avid mental health awareness advocate and spoken word performer, and though this is tragic, I love this video so much. I travel the country trying to bring that awareness on stages, in classrooms, hospitals, and on my RUclips channel, so I get excited when I see other advocates. 💚❤️
Thank you for honoring Twitch. Y’all did an outstanding job mourning and celebrating this incredible human being known as Twitch.
I’m a dancer and he was my main inspiration to continue my life with dance!! I can’t imagine how his family feels and may he rest in peace
tWitch why why why?? We are all so heartbroken. You left a huge mark on this world. You will be so missed.
Perfectly stated, I lost my dad to this disease in 2011 he was the most amazing kindest human being and these people will hide their symptoms but everyone should know the seven signs symptoms of depression to get friends and family members the help that they so desperately need.
When i watched you on Ellen i just smiled bec your smile was infectious, your personality and you being such a gentleman showed through daily. God Bless you Allison who was so lucky to share all she did with you as Your wife and your babies had the most fabulous Daddy.
I know depression, i know the screen we hide behind and i keep trying to over come the very dark thoughts but, there real and its undiscribable .
I dont believe i cld hurt my two beautiful babies most of all carring it out. You will always be loved by everyone who knew you and us the didnt know u personally!!! Shine on Twitch....THE BOSS💜
I HURT SO MUCH FOR ALLISON. BLESSINGS SENT TO YOU AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL CREATED FAMILY.
Amen
That's all they need right now
May the Lord be their strength
You are missed Steven, R.I.P. Bro. Gone but not forgotten. Let pray for his family and let pray for each other. Love, Lady Burch
Loved him & thought it was a sick joke, then shocked to find it was true. I cry each time I see a video because he was such a wonderful person, no one has unkind comments about him. Only wish he could see all the wonderful videos about him and all the people who are saddened by his death, rest in peace, & know you are missed beyond words!!
Once again….”seemingly having everything” is deceptive. There is often inner pain…sadness/ loneliness/hopelessness that can’t be removed. So sad❤💔❤
Brilliant, honest piece. Rest In Peace, dear man.
There was an update:
He left a vague note in his belongings. He stated past challenges as his reason for taking his life. Hopefully, more info will be released! Watch his videos. He was very outspoken about injustices.
His death is tragic and further investigation is needed.❤😭
RUclips Teezy T Pandemic Struggling. Song says it all.
@@TeezyT_Sunrise I will check it out. Thank you 🙏🏽
Quit. Just quit. You do not know anything. ❤
@@christineraffa-diggon I don’t, but I would like to know more. If it were my family member, I would want to know more. If you look at his last post, he was getting negativity. What drove him to take his own life, if that’s the case, it should be made known. It could help save someone else. Did you think about that? He seemed like a good family man.
You're right Beverly Love, it's strange that no one heard a gun shot & how many hours passed when his wife notice him missing? Many of us wake up to go pee during the night,right? Strange he didn't take his car & no suicide note was mention. As dumb as it sounds I saw a criminal show on tv where a man killed himself by hypnosis by receiving a phone call & hearing a certain phrase. I don't know if hypnosis is real but I do know theres so much evil in this world. I pray that the truth shall come out because people always saying it was mental illness instead of investigating thoroughly for justice. Then you hear the victim was creamated & can proceed the investigation.
We had a brother that walked into water. Really no warning signs at all other than a little off at own birthday party days before. But was a complete shock to everyone that the youngest of nine was first to go and he was around 40 as well. So just be grateful for the times he was here and in good spirits, no second thoughts.
I also lost my son in a similar way. He was 18. Im really sorry for your loss
❤
@@JB-nr7iy just know it had nothing to with any specific person or one situation; it's almost like an enormous adrenaline flow that temporally takes over otherwise normal situations. For all we know, they could have fought off these adrenaline rushes for years at a time; so don't be sorry or sad, celebrate all the fight and memories they gave us to share.
I am genuinely sorry for both your losses.....Why do the kindest of people feel they are alone?
@@karenmbbaxterfirst stop being sorry for death I tell people, death is natural. Not sure if it's feeling alone, a lot of these people come from big families and even celebrities with endless attention. It's just a medical phenomenon not studied or understood yet. I would go as far to say it is linked to something we eat because these adrenaline rushes seem very spontaneous and temporary. Not sure why depression is in our brains to begin with, but something has to trigger it and it's not always bad situations. So if not always phycological then the physical must be included.
Every time I see his picture tears coming down RIP brother
There is so much light and life in him that's gone. We don't understand, but God knows. Prayers to his family and friends for comfort and strength to go on.
Pure sadness 😔 and grief, I can't put into words the heartbreak 💔 I'm feeling. I'm a person who was diagnosed with suicidal ideations,although I often presented myself as happy and strong. I was hospitalized at a critical point and learned much from great care. It is a continuous journey which requires continuous professional care. There are small demons that can pop up in my life and I know 👎 now to not try to struggle through on my own. My fantastic psychiatrist told me once when I questioned how did this ever enter my life? He advised me to never try to stand in the middle of the fire and try to put it out myself, but to know and run to the closest exit. This disease took me to my knees at times when from the outside world I had everything going for me. I am honest and open about what I know is a hidden disease. I'm sending all my love and prayers to this family. I will keep Stephen in my prayers 🙏, he always brought much joy into my life. I urge others that if any suicidal ideations come into your life, help is there. Run for help,it's very accessible and I am still working daily to talk about what is truly going on with me, and I'm not alone. See you in heaven twitch, I'll always honor your memory ♥️ and Thank-you and Allison for all the joy that you guys brought you to me. God bless and please get all the care you need. Pure love and godspeed to Allison and they're beautiful children. Support and surround their family with all love you have to give ❤️
Depression is very dangerous..so dangerous that no matter how people try to help ,it's not enuf for them.even medication doesn't help.you need to be extremely strong to deal with depression.its just that ..not everyone are that strong.its so sad.
Often people who have made up their mind that they're gonna take their own lives rarely threaten it because that would be a cry for help. If they're dead set on making it happen they usually make sure to not give hints to anyone to prevent intervention. Very sad
The people who smile the most are crying inside 💔
Sometimes it's something BIG that has happened that pushes one over mentally.Maybe something he couldn't share which is very sad.😭🙏🙏🙏🙏Amazing talent, I feel really bad for his family.❤️❤️❤️
OMG! RIP beloved tWitch WOW I’m so sorry someone couldn’t help when you had these horrible thoughts! Anyone going though this don’t be afraid seek help. Many people are there for you. You’ll be missed!!! 💜🙏🥰
The saddest news! He was amazing and will be missed by all.
Very true ! and he leaves you with most profund sadness for his loss 😔
This proves you never know what is going on in someone elses head. He seemed so happy on the outside. 🙏💕
Im a mental health nurse and ive never seen anyone woth severe depression present the thecway he did. Severe depression involves making no future plans (if planning suicide), they lose motivation, are unable to function, neglect theirselves, sleep a lot and the list goes on. Idk, seems very unusual to me that there were no signs at all. To not even leave a note for his family? Again, very odd because if he went to a motel to do it then he mist have had concerns that he didnt want his family to see him like that which means he cared about what his family thought so to not even leave a note (that we know of) to say sorry or give an explination doesnt make sense to me
I agree
Well that’s why u r a nurse
And not a psychiatrist
I don’t think u realy know everything bout depression etc
And suicide
What u r saying is not true
Prayers for his family. This is so sad. He seemed like such a good guy🙏
"Depression tricks happy people into thinking they're alone." WELL SAID. I truly enjoyed them dancing.
Demonic attacks. God help us.
God, please bless this family. This is heartbreaking 💔
Prayers and Condolences to his family!
RUclips Teezy T Pandemic Struggling. Song says it all.
My deepest sympathy to Allison and her children. May twitch rest in peace and 🌹 rise in glory. ♥️🎈
Rise in what glory???? He was possessed by a demonic spirit of suicide. Satan tricks people!
Love watching him dancing 💔💔💔
Unbelievable………love you twitch. Condolences to his family. I follow him on instagram and watched him during the locked down off the pandemic, watched him dancing with his wife and children. They would make me laugh especially his son, jumping around wiggling trying is hardest to mimic his dad. He was extremely gifted and talented with is ability to move freely like an angel with his gift of dance. Those children will forever be shattered by the loss off his presence in there life. ❤️🙏🏾💐
I will definitely miss him too but I’m not a young person. I’m 73 years old. I love to watch his moves. God is with him.
Absolutely tragic, I can not believe it, so sad. I feel for his family and friends. A beautiful person he definitely was love and light, the world lost an amazing person.
I feel So Heartbroken for Allison & their beautiful children. Please send them my Love..Prayers..& Condolences to them & their Families. I'm So Sorry. ❤️
Stephen was always smiling, happy and a very kind man. I pray the LORD will comfort his wife, children , friends and all his loved ones.
Heartbroken at the loss of this special talented artist
Such a beautiful personality, & a beautiful family, pray for them ,not speculate, just pray for his family 1🙏🙏🦶🦶
A light went out that day that our beloved TWITCH left this world to dance in Heaven. We love you and will miss you and your beautiful laughter and smile. Rest In Peace and one day we will have a HUGE flash mob in Heaven with you….save me a dance.
I'm still in shock I still can't believe it, When I heard about his passing I was so much in shock, When I heard he passed I thought it was from an accident or something but nothing like this, I was so much in shock I had problems sleeping that I only slept 3 hours.
DID ANYONE ELSE NOTICE !! The man speaking 1 of the Xmas trees behind him the lights went out !!! 🙌👑🕊
Love and light. What a legend.
Such a sad story!! R.i.P Twitch!!! We love & miss you!!
🙏🏿for all of humanity. This is way more common than it should be in these times.
We walk a very fine line God bless his soul
King of Dance with a lovely smile you will sadly missed love to see you dance on the Helen Rest In Peace my brother God's blessings for your lovely family always x
Depression is an illness you can’t overcome it easily is though medical and lots of counseling and treatments. I am so sorry for your loss the Twitch’s family.
Such a wonderful saying by his wife Twich you are so missed
Didn't know he's real name was BOSS.Thought it was a showbiz moniker.His death is a sad revelation.
My condolences to the young and beautiful family he left behind.
Jeez, it's sad sad sad.
My Goodness I am truly sorry for the pain he was going through We just never know prayers to all who will be affected by this during this time of happiness I will miss his light to.
It’s so so sad ! But , it is happening !! Depression is about feeling alone ! ! I get depressed a lot , but I do reach out ! I am the oldest of 11, always been mother ! After my youngest went off to college, it was the first time I was ever alone ! I had to learn how to live and create my self !!
Most people that are suffering from mental health illness, depression are a shame and just don't know how to express it to a love 😘 one and that is truly 😢 sad
Rest in peace I love them prayers for the family his wife and kids

So sad and right here at Christmas! So sad for his kids and wife😢
Hello there nice to meet you here can we be friends
I concur the person who's the hype man and always brings light and smiles into ppl life. Those the one's have the darkiest moments and need a shoulder to lean on and someone to bring them light and Joy. So sad his family wasn't enough.
Such a Wonderful Soul 😢
Hello cherri nice to meet you here can we be friends
Twitch will be forever in our hearts and loved. Prayers and love to Alison n his kids. RIP
This is so so sad and unexpeted. I reallt liked him . he seemed like a good dude. As a mother of a son living with mental illnes, a sister of a brother who committed suicide , I know this desease first hand. It is a manipulating ,selfish illness. If you know of someone that is suffering from mental illness. Reach out to them often, be there for them , encourage them to talk. These things help.
Thank you for sharing that. This has been a devastating news story an I personally have felt the loss as well. Still do. It is incredibly painful to live with broken 💔
Heartbreaking and dusturbing. I pray for his family 😭🙏❤ He'll be missed 😭😭
I know and feel the way you felt about what's going on in the world and when you speak your mind, you are judged. I know God got your words. Rest easy.
Rest in Peace Stephen tWitch Boss! Omg I'm in shock I loved him! He was love an light 100%! I truly feel for his wife Alison & kids! Ppl need to stop harassing his wife like she did something like cheating! STOP! She loved her husband an I'd devastated over his passing! I wish they could of found him before he took his life! Alison and their kids could be affected very deeply! Please support her and their kids please! So tragic and sad! Alison & kids I'm here for ya no matter what time it is! If ya need to get away come to Vegas! Sending healing energy an big hugs! I'm deeply sorry for your loss! Much love & light too y'all! Robin
Hello there nice to meet you here can we be friends
He was a good dancer, Im very sad he is gone , rest in peace boss man ,
From when I first saw Twitch on SYTYCD I loved his personality, his gift of dance & his spirit. So dad that Twitch was hurting. Dso sorry for his wife & childten. So sad💔💙
If he is able to kill himself, leave his beloved family behind; I wonder what he was going through. He is a clear example proving that looking happy doesn't mean you're actually happy. R.I.P 🙏🏽
Much condolences and Love to all and his family .

I’ve been down deep in the pits of my own personal hell. All it did was make me want to fight against it more. I don’t understand how or why people, especially grown men with children, can take their own life. There’s always a way out, just like this lady said.
Good for you. Everyone isn't as strong as you.
He was joy BUT he could not have been ALL JOY ! There was sadness! It’s hard for us to come to terms with this but that’s the reality of life.#Lovesign
Sometime it is okay not to be the light. It is okay to be sad.
Even when you tell your good friends you are depressed and isolating...your still left suffering alone.
