Really tried to give as much to this discussion as possible in the hope it helps someone out there. I expect youtube to demonetise this given the subject but if we do make any money it will be donated of course. RIP Etika 🙏🏼
True Geordie ❤️
Rest well Etika 👊
So sad story
True Geordie you’re a credit to the RUclips community mate. The most down to earth guy on this platform and you deserve every bit of recognition you get!
True Geordie respect bro 👌
I didn’t know who Etika was but I hope he is at rest now . RIP brother
@The Legend of Texas What are you basing that off? A book written fucking hundreds of years ago? Fuck off and let us say what we want.
Pastel we do need a fresher book don’t we?
@The Legend of Texasyou didn't need to say that tho
@The Legend of Texas what year are you living in? nobody gives a fuck about religion in times like this, only retarded assholes do
@Fifa Predicts Football I mean you replied
Brilliant you guys are talking about Etika situation. Bloody heartbraking.
***heartbreaking
Did it quickly n all
@@joshuavazquez958 Caring more about his spelling rather than the severity of the situation is baffling to me
@@numbers1500 Hell yeah! Its important to be able to articulate yourself in a way that makes it easy to understand
Joshua Vazquez shut the fuck up (stfu, just in case you need the abbreviation)
Don't let Social Media consume you the way it consumed me
-Etika
I'm glad they found his body. Although its a terrible thing to happen, it's gives us some closure. I've been a fan of Etika since his deep web stream and he will be deeply missed. The days when he was missing, I was constantly on his subreddit refreshing and stressing, waiting on news.
i fell in love with him with the deep web stream too
Been a fan since his Smash bros 4 videos. Damn shame he's gone
Same man. And yea I couldn’t stop looking at his subreddit and twitter when he was missing.
Those days were awful. Constantly checking Twitter, the subreddit and live streams. I remember I typed Etika into Twitter search and saw “17k tweets in the late hour” and my heart just dropped and I broke into tears. I really, really miss the guy.
DEEEP WEBBB STREAM 😖😖😖😖 THAT WAS MY FIRST VIDEO THAT I SAW, ARORA HIGHLIGHTS. E-SCORTS. DESMOND DANIEL AMOFA I FUCKING MISS YOU
My mom passed away last month after suffering from mental health problems, I'd just like to tell you guys appreciate every day you have with your loved ones! It sounds horrible but you don't know when it's going to be the last :( TRUE GEORDIE YOU ARE A LEGEND and you explained the way mental health problems feel very well :) god I would do absolutely anything to have my mom back💔
Hi Guys Omg RIP to ur mom. I’m so sorry for your loss. Stay strong❤️
Stay strong brother ❤️
Rip ❣ stay strong I know it’s hard but ....
True Geordie, again proving big guys can have big hearts.
patchh15 What?
* Raw * not the only thing big
Don’t mind him he’s trying to troll almost every comment about home people are thankful they are talking about this he goes but but deji
@RaLLyKaTz OoO boy shut the fuck up, Deji is fucking delusional and only tries to leech fame from his brother. Even if that means attacking him
They normally do from what I have seen.
Thank you for making this, much appreciated... this is what RUclipsrs must talk about!
Absolutely right Sir, the only thing is though it take something like this to happen before people even talk about it, let alone help😢
I found my brother dead from a fentanyl overdose last summer, and I was diagnosed with PTSD from the event. It’s a battle I’m currently fighting and watching this video and understanding you can eventually be okay helped me a ton. Thank you for this Geordie God bless you man.
Hey, its been 2 months since you wrote this and I just wanted to ask if you're doing any better now. Hope you're alright.
It has been hard but I’m doing okay. I’m still in college and studying and just trying to do my best to keep my head up, thank you for asking that’s kind of you sir/ma’am. Have a blessed day
koolkid my bad I realized I responded but not as a reply
I'm so sorry. That's so awful. 😞 How old were you when it happened?
@@soisful10 Are you ok? If you are there, a simple "yes" would be nice. I hope you are living your life now.
Telling someone who is depressed telling them to cheer up etc, is like telling a blind man he can see
Moral support did help for me. And people that were in the same situation and see what they did against it.
The lack of sleep is one of the biggest parts of suffering with mental health.. it really effects your thinking patterns and mood as much as anything. I think personally.
Bravo Mc also there needs to be a time you stand up every single day. A fixed wake up time schedule that will not be broken.
Followed by a healthy breakfast.
Ur not wrong
Also, sleeping too much to escape whatever problems it is your going through
This gave me chills
The fact that one of the happiest and energetic looking people in Etika to kill themselves is just strange. And the fact that Brian one of the hardest looking men on RUclips used to be a broken man....best podcast you lads have done
I think it would be great if u made a full blown documentary on social media/ RUclipsr mental health..going around and interviewing youtubers on their experiences and possible causes
It would be but... If he were to go into someone's life while they're going through this type of stuff, then I don't think it's a good idea. There are many people who think that depression or some form of mental health issue is a "cry for attention". You'll never know with this shit show of a social media platform
@@imdisappointedineveryone9881 I was thinking interviewing people who have been through it and defeated the depression..so they could tell their story and how they came through it
I would like to see them maybe also talk to professionals as to why people on the internet such as youtube are struggling....maybe something to do with numbers and relevancy
I'm glad you acknowledged the chemical aspect of depression. Not everyone who suffers has had anything actually to happen to them that could prompt these feelings. That's why you can't predict that everyone is fine. Massive respect to everyone
Depression doesn't just "happen" though. Yes, whenever depression occurs, it is due to a chemical imbalance in the brain. But depression is a symptom, not a cause - as there are certain requirements either genetic/environmental (or both) that increase the likelihood of becoming depressed. There is always a cause and an effect.
I partially disagree, by things "happening" I'm referring to death of a loved one, relationship crisis and other life problems. I believe these things can cause one to be depressed. However, indeed a chemical imbalance can cause depression without any of these events occurring.
Ellis' ABC model in reference to the psychology of depression describes the 'A' as an activating agent that leads to a particular belief and consequence. Therefore, this suggests that something from the environment can cause depression. However, I believe the chemical aspect has a huge influence, which is why I praised this podcast in my original comment
@@BaileyBaratheon I think he misread your comment slightly
To anyone suffering from mental health issues, know that someone cares for you. Never be afraid to speak about what you're going through. You all matter and you're all loved. RIP Etika 🧡
Matthew Glen you don’t suffer from mental health you suffer from mental illness/mental health issues. Mental health is when your mind is healthy
@@ellenm9860 there you go, fixed it for you👍
Oli Black no because people wouldn’t say “I’m suffering from health”
No they dont
@@Hannah-pk6iq So edgy
Geordie not going to lie this podcast helped me loads cheers
Ive struggled with suicidal tendencies for 4 years now, I barely passed my last year of highschool. I love how you talk about suicidal thoughts and the mental state of people who think like this, you have a good understanding and thus have had a great conversation. Thank you mate
Stay strong. Keep pushing through and build yourself up. You have a lot to live for lad.
As someone who's struggled a lot with mental health and nearly taken their own life before, this really hit me to hear that he's gone. Thank you so much for making this podcast! It's only good to talk about it
Brilliant ! Get Tyson Fury on the podcast ! Mental health should be discussed a lot more
@The Legend of Texas You're actually disgusting. Imagine growing a person in your womb for 9 months only for it to come out say something like that.
@@jackbennett9256 😂
@The Legend of Texas brilliant insight m8, how does your brain fit inside your cranium ?
Not Tyson Fury, he clearly used his "depression" to sell his fight with Deontay Wilder and just grow his profile, in all honesty I don't believe a word he says, and I certainly don't believe he was depressed, the way I see it he just fucked up his career and wanted a way back in, he's a disgrace
Alex H not a fan of AJ before the loss, what's that got to do with this anyway?
Putting the effects of mental health issues into words is one of the most difficult things to do, but you have really summed it up fantastically. To enable people to have someone to relate to with problems like this is truly what a role model consists of.
RIP Etika
If you’re struggling there’s always people out there to talk to you (look in description for numbers)
To everyone reading this you are all loved and worthy
I'm ngl lie to you numbers don't help its familiar faces that do as someone who's battled mental health and helped people who have struggled numbers don't help u need a familiar face to talk to and help u find the right way out
@@JG-py9iz I think with some people just getting something off your chest can help a lot
J G Idk I don’t wanna talk to anyone I know about the way I feel and what I’m going through as I feel I’m letting them down even more sometime talking to some who knows nothing about you is a lot easier a hell of a lot easier all depends on the person
@@JG-py9iz Everyones different though matey. For you talking to someone you know helped...and I'm glad it did. But for others talking to a stranger is the preferred option. And there's also people who are so isolated they don't have the luxury of making that choice...they simply don't have someone close to talk to. And for them a "number" is the only thing they have. Don't discount it just because it wasn't for you. For countless other people it can literally be the difference between life and death.
@@lindseyscammell1431 yh I understand it can but like u said it didn't work for me nor did it work for my dad and others I no it is very much a chance
After being an Etika fan for over 5 years, it really helps that you guys are talking about this. Thank you.
I've been really struggling recently and to hear you two talking so openly about your own history with mental health is really reassuring xo
im 19 years old just had the worst year of my life
Failed to go to Uni
Got into such a shitty mindframe to the point my now ex-gf left me
All my close friends moved on with their life and had a blast while i got stuck in the same situation i was in for the last 3 years
Got a job and lost the same job in less than a month
No money, No Gf, No drive
With all this i thought that being dead was more exciting than to carry on with this shit boring life
This podcast was one of the best i heard in a while
Related so much to what Brian and Laurence said
Tomorrow im going to start jiu jitsu and mma and i also re-started to study while im looking for a job
Trying to get a grip in life
Hope you guys never stop doing this podcast because it saves lifes
Cheers.
Good luck homie
Real classy and respectful vid good Job lads
patchh15 I swear I just saw you arguing about trump on Instagram 😂
Geordie talking about his problems from the past made me feel so much better about my own. I dug my own grave, essentially, and now I'm trying to make things better for myself. Knowing that other people have been through similar situations at a crucial age in life makes me feel so much better. Thank you.
Etika was and still is my biggest youtube influence, such a fuckin shame
My life has been full of depression, rejection, low-self esteeem, panic attack, OCD. I'm trying to keep going. That's all I can do.
I hope that the video has inspired you to seek out what you feel you need in order to improve your well-being.
OCD isn't that bad
TKN ZERO I don’t mean to be too abrasive, but shut the fuck up. Don’t tel someone that they’re experience isn’t “that bad,” especially when you know that they’re struggling. Ofc when people are like “OMG I have ocd” because they rearrange a painting doesn’t t mean that is what ocd is. Ocd is real tough my guy
@@tknzero8027 I can tell you from personal experience OCD can be by far the worst out of either if it's bad enough. OCD isn't struggling to cope with dirty clothes, it's dangerous thoughts that seap into you're brain that attack you're fears. So shut the fuck up
Keep you're head up brother. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel. Keep fighting. Think of it as traffic, if you're in a jam at the minute, always remember traffic passes.
Huge respect to Brian for never giving up and grafting to get to that position. Ly Bri Bri❤️
I luv how honest Brian is and how he’s not afraid to open up 🙌
Kevin Mcnelis I love you when you lapdance on my sister
@@Jimmy-Christmas ?
@@Jimmy-Christmas ????
A lot of people took the piss out of Etika's situation before he killed himself. Hope they now feel guilty. Etika had his demons and his demons unfortunately won. Rest in Peace Etika
Not everyone there are people like me that don't know who he was until the news broke out
Whats bullshit is that the same people spamming the clown emojis and tearing him apart all of his reddit. Are now the ones saying "RIP ETIKA" "I WAS ALWAYS YOUR NUMBER ONE FAN." I hope guilt tears them apart.
@@patchh15 fuck off and stop comparing Deji to Erika's situation. It's very very different.
@@MoneyMatt-tf7cp the same people said erikas was over reacting. Im not saying he is or isnt but dont just judge people and make assumptions because you actually dont know whats hapenning in close doors.
You can't exactly blame people when he's doing crazy shit and putting it online.
God Brian is such a rolemodel god bless
patchh15 Deji is a twat sooo
@@patchh15 deji is clearly just trying to get attention. Most people familiar with Etika and his content knew that he was very much mentally ill and would kill himself if he didn't get help
@@patchh15 some people did that but it was easy to tell he was ill. Deji keeps saying and doing things to keep his career a float when no one wants to watch his videos because they aren't good
Yuki Deji might not be in the right but the dude has some serious problems mentally, you can tell. You shouldn’t be quick to judge
@@Yuki-bk2my Do you not think that Deji may need help as well?
In PE, I've learned that by joining sports and clubs like sunday league, you are able to release stress and belong to a group which helps with you feeling less isolated! I assume you didn't know that but I also see students who just brush past that and kinda ignore that it can help you with some fucked up stuff. Much Love Brian and Laurence❤
That is true, or any hobby group. My sister is autistic & tried a few sports groups but she was either shunned or bullied. She kept trying & is now part of a tabletop gaming club where there are more similar people who are more willing to put up with her quirks & appreciate her creativity, odd humour etc.
I used my university's free counselling service 10 years ago when I was 19 and my mental health was at its worst. The problem was that - being free - the waiting list was a mile long so I was rarely ever in the right mindset to go and have a productive conversation. I got very little out of it. I think the difficulty in accessing mental health services really compounds the issue: more often than not you're either stuck on a waiting list for CBT for months on end or you have to pay through the nose.
It's so important for people (especially the young lads who watch this podcast) to see you guys talking so openly and frankly about mental health issues. Amazing stuff, guys.
Geordie shows us that there is a light at the end of every tunnel. Anybody going through something difficult just hang in there, you will find a way to get out of it.
Really important conversation to have, well done boys ❤️
Wow this has stopped me in my tracks. Been suffering from PTSD and anxiety since my Dad passed away and have been on the self destruction route. Hearing you speak about it has made so much sense when counselling has just not helped. Thank you TG!
Suicididal thoughts don't go away. It might die down for a while but like a volcano it can come to life at any moment.
I just want to say Geordie and Laurence I find great pleasure watching your videos. My head is all over the place atm and you guys really bring my mood up. Without knowing it your a big part of my life as crazy as it sounds. Thankyou!
Remember my guy that it could take a long time, but sticking through the shit is worth it and as cliche as it, things do get better. They may even be little things but a smidge forward is progress and is deserving. I hope you get better soon and you can manage things, stay well my guy x
I hope you feel better soon.
Big Chungus really appreciate that, thankyou mate
Emperor Penguin Rate that Thankyou mate
Honestly you’re a HERO, don’t you ever forget it
Appreciate Brian for fully opening up about his stories, this is the kind of real content we need on youtube rn tbh
This is why I love these podcast they are real!
The BEST podcast on any platform. RIP bro
I recognise that pfp
Joe Rogan imo.
For me, physical education works wonders for clearing my mind and relieving anxiety
@@Cathal0303 cheers, but ndombele has made my life the best it could possibly be 😉
30 secs in and I already know this is gunna be an amazing episode. Great subject and important to be open about.
Honestly bro you put everything into perspective, you pretty much described me now to your younger you! You help me come to terms with shit... legend man keep it up!
I genuinely watched Etika’s old smash streams after school to cheer me up, and I fucking cried when he turned up dead. Rest in peace brother.
Amazing pod. Such an important topic to talk about. Just wanted to say, despite the fact you haven’t been feeling yourself in the last few months, you can’t tell in your videos. They’ve been top tier, keep it up!
Having had anxiety for 6 years now, I really respect you Brian. I had my first job and listened to your podcasts to get me through, I have literally listened to them all. I want to thank you so much. That person who helped you, well you helped me! RIP Etika.
This was so tear-jerking, thank you for telling your story Brian. rip etika x
Listening to u has helped me a lot. I was very depressed bc i found out i was pregnant at 17. I was very depressed and tried to kill myself. But hearing u and so many youtubers talk about situations like this, it does help people. Because i found you on RUclips i now have a beautiful year old boy who is my whole life. Thank u so much.
@@Serkong ..soo she just said that this kid was her life... and ya tell her not to have kids...
i'm going to assume you mean well.. but wow....
(i mean no offensive with this comment i was just afraid it may be seen as offensive)
@@reelgesh51 why be afraid?
Serkong wtf?
@@Serkong because having kids at a young age is a choice
anyone can legally have a kid at 16 and get married at such (at least in the UK) so telling her to not have a kid when she clearly enjoys hers felt like you were questioning her passion or ambitions towards her current and perhaps future children
This is just my favorite alive RUclipsr talking about my favorite dead RUclipsr
Keep up the good content
Love you True Geordie. Just had to put my dog down and this podcast supplied distraction and comfort 🙏🏽 cheers Bryan and Lawrence 🖤
Big drama show! Alright I'm coming back nahnahnah
Loved this...such an important video xxx
I've not seen much of True Geordie's podcasts just a few here and there. I have to say after seeing this he's a really good bloke. To hear someone speaking some openly like this who from the outside would seem to most like an very confident guy who is sure of himself, has helped me a bit. I've gone through a lot of the same things and am still going through them but knowing people come out the other side like True Geordie has gives you hope.
It's awful what happened to Etika. I thought a lot of the same things said in the podcast when I saw the video he made before his death, I thought if this was a livestream the amount of people who would be telling Etika not to do it. That he has so much to live for, so many people love him and his work.
I even thought to myself I wish I could be walking past him and know what he's going through. Then I could talk to him, buy him a coffee and tell him I've felt what he feels. Many have felt what he feels, his fans, friends and family love him. That he's not alone and he never will be. It's fucking shit his journey ended how it did and when it did, I got a lot of enjoyment out of his videos and he was a very nice guy, he would of gone on to do even greater things.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Now in my second year of recovery and just finished a course of CBT for PTSD, so I really relate to this podcast.
It's creates something special when influencers can cover these hard topics, puts things into a bit more perspective. Thank you for what you do 👊
Goes without saying this is a vital subject to be talked about but more importantly by someone who understands it. Brian is the one along with Laurence of course. Top lads.
Love that the podcast is back. Such an important discussion about mental health and your honesty on the topic is so inspiring.
Wow. This podcast keeps bettering itself
Well done for always keeping it real Brian and Loz
As someone with PTSD it’s amazing to hear someone talk about it that has actually done something with their live that they’re proud of. It gives me hope and makes me feel like I can actually do something with my life instead of just surviving. Thank you guys!!!
Wow, I have never seen a video from Geordie without dislikes...
This episode of the podcast really got to me possibly one of the most relatable episodes yet for someone who has autism and suffers with depression I had many “dark” experiences and thoughts. I can’t thank Geordie and Laurence enough for getting this very somber topic spoken about and publicly accepted.
P.S. thanks Geordie for sharing your experiences I personally know that it’s not an easy thing to do I hope your okay now though.
Many thanks

2 great guys dealing with the situation with class. Legends. RIP Etika
thank you for trying your best despite not knowing the man personally, it means so much. please learn from desmond's passing and reach out to deji as i see him following a similar path and nobody wants that. thank you
The sad part is that this only becomes an issue when famous people kill themselves, while plenty of everyday people have always been victims and suffering from this. I wish we cared about mental health without a famous example and instead focus on families of everyday people.
This is the way to talk about it. There are so many youtubers using this sad story as clickbait to gain subs and views, which I find sickening. I have watched you since your Logan Paul video and have to commend you for your openness and honesty. This podcast is so relevant and real...... God bless you!
I left a nice comment about you guys in general before I had even watched this video because I want to support you two. However this podcast was such a classy and engaging podcast; in which I enjoyed learning more about Brian and his past, but this podcast has an excellent message that needs to be seen by many more people. Absolutely amazing job guys.
i can say that as someone whos gone and fought thru it .. i can say having that "annoying" friend who is constantly asking me if i was ok or who checked me every single day .. especially when all you want to be is alone .. really helped me understand what true friendship was .. and i started to view my relationships with people differently .. and understand how important my mental health and well being is .. it changed me ... and as dumb as it may sound .. im happy it happened and im happy with who ive come to understand.. thanks geordie.. this was well put together and informative ..
Genuinely love your podcasts guys. Keep up the awesome stuff x
Thank you guys for talking about this subject in such an honest and objective manner. This channel can do so much for so many people. Appreciate you both guys cheers.
Love how deep and real you both were 💜 thank you for shedding a light on a very hard subject for most x
BEST discussion about this kid's passing so far. The single one which mention "where was his family support?". . The IMPORTANT need to support WHENEVER.... 24/7 ... Not on a weekly basis only.... Thank You guys.
I'm glad we are in a place now where big personalty like Tyson fury and Geordie are addressing these issues.
Having being someone who suffers from anxiety and depression. Nothing makes me happier knowing im not the only one going through these things, just listening to your insight on mental health in general will make alot of people not go down the wrong road geordie. Your an absolute hero to alot of people. The most down to earth person ive ever came across.
I honestly appreciate this so much
so emotional watching this RIP Etika and thank you Geordie and Laurence for talking about this topic
I’m here in 2021 in the pandemic and this video is still helping me with my Anxiety and mental heath, if you someone read this Geordie Thank you.
I have never related more. The whole ‘when the money runs out I’ll do something’ is exactly how I am right now to a tee
Damn thank you so much for putting a Philippine Hotline in the description
I remember coming home from school and watching him every day
RIP Etika the end of joycon boys
Thank you so much for this! This needs to be discussed more in the RUclips community! We currently have the biggest media platform in the world so this is the best place to spread the word and promote mental health awareness!
...I didn't even know that he died, oh my god.. I've just been watching his old undertale live streams without knowing about this, this ruined me.
Great video TG, mental health is tremendously important, its such a shame that nobody was able to get through to Etika. RIP.
Poor Guy, Mental Heath is no fun, i suffer with Pychosis and find every hour a struggle..R.I.P Etika,and love to family and friends...
Hope you guys realise what a loyal and grateful fan base use have, love the podcasts with just you and Lawrence. Great to comment on Etika too.
Brilliant video lads - you spoke so well on such a touching subject
Much respect to you Geordie! Takes a lot to speak your mind, especially on these topics. Mad respect!
Fair play guys. You handled and spoke about the situation very well👏👏
Thankyou so much Brian for talking about these topics and being so open, from someone else who has felt like that and still can from time to time, you’re videos really do help me, especially when you discus the topic at hand. Keep up the work bro much love 💙
Trading Cards And More True Geordie has a heart of a diamond
Trading Cards And More but always remember mate it’s ok to talk to someone 1
Hamid Ali thanks brother it means a lot ☺️💯
Jordan Peterson made a good point when he had a suicidal fan during one of his lectures ask a question.
Jordan basically said your life isn't just yours to take.
You take your life away from many others who know you as well and that will bring more pain in the world than just yours
I found Jordan's videos on the day I most felt like ending my life - that was in 2017. There's something about that guy, I think, that helps broken people.
This ❤️
I often think Brian echoes a lot of JBPs work. Would be amazing to have the two sat down together. In British media poor JBP has to be interviewed by a lot of frickin idiots
Jordan says lots of things that aren't necessarily true. Nietzsche could just as easily say your life is your life - and no one should decide whether life is worth living but you -
And, doesn't this all make the assumption that humanity is worth continuing in the first place? Like, that's like your opinion, man.
@@adeimantusglaucon9732 Damn. Ya might as well also tie the knot for the person.
I don't suffer from any mental health issues and I'm really grateful for that,but I LOVE Jordan Peterson's message.
I’ve been dealing with worse and worse depression over the past year. I’m glad True Geordie talked about this. We all have different ways in which we deal with it and not one way works
Watching the road Desmond went down being one of the joyconboyz that had been there from the early days it really really hurt when he... You know I can't even bring myself to type it its been a few months and it's still as if I found out yesterday
I felt the same way, and going through the job centre was fucking soul destroying. I'm so glad you guys are talking about this kinda stuff, it's so important and people need to stop treating other people like shit. We need people to help each other to get better and show that life isn't full of selfish arsholes.
Maybe people just need to grow up and know that life is not fair. It get difficult. People will still be assholes. But are people strong enough to live on despite that or are they just gonna die and escape?
@@vegeta2800 So only the selfish assholes are left, the ones who dont give a fuck about other peoples feeling because it doesn't concern them? great! what a fun world to live in.
RIP Etika Joyconboyz forever
Always difficult to make these kind of videos but it’s a needs must. Found the approach very powerful and effective. Great vid lads!
Absolutely devastated about Etika
I think the way you spoke about etika was really genuine and people cant ask for anything else tbh so respect for that - I wrote this comment about 20 mins in lol but the way you spoke about depression was fully spot on aswell so thank you guys ❤️❤️
The likelihood if this working is low but if anyone feels the need to talk I AM HERE. Speaking from personal experience I have had 2 very close friends of mine try it and I've been the one who has stopped them and helped them until they were better and they are still with us today thankfully. I am willing to talk about anything and help anyway I can. We can talk her twitter (@timlettiero) or however you'd like but just know that when you feel like you have no one you will always have yourself and the most important thing when you're in that mindset is to believe in yourself first and foremost. You ARE loved and you DO matter.
Tim Lettiero good on u bro
Good on you mate
I’ve been having a struggle with similar issues you were talking about. The past 4-5 years I can’t seem to shake the depression and anxiety. Your story is a lot of the way of things that I am dealing with every day. Only a person like you or a person dealing with these issues understand what our thoughts are. Thanks for being real and I hope I can move forward from this. Rip Etika
Jeez, im 2 mins in and didnt know Brian had mental health problems - I always think very confident people dont struggle with mental health but its very real and good to bring awareness. Love you boys
Everyone has mental health problems or had, even if it's just a little bit
