This and a few other songs can save lives. The video is so important because it also gives life-saving information The band said that each of them has been personally affected by suicide. That was there their motivation. As you unfortunately know all too well if someone makes that decision they tend to hide it from those they love. That doesn't mean that person didn't know you loved them. I'm so glad that you've come to allow yourself to open up to us and others who care about you. You're worth the fight. We all are.
I lost my cousin, a veteran, on October 12th of this year to suicide. I listened to this song driving to the small town for the funeral. He was a single father of two children in grade school. He reached out to me many times he was struggling, I just keep asking why he didn't this time. RIP Jason
As a young man with an old soul raised by my grandparents a lot of your reactions and a lot of the stuff you say is so relatable. I’m glad I stumbled upon your channel man as somebody that battles these thoughts every day I appreciate your words and your thoughts. I’ve been thinking about joining the army the last year or so as well so watching your videos has helped me realize the help this country needs from men like you and I. Keep up the great work brotha glad I found ya 🤙 o7
Most compassionate reaction. I’ve been in this situation after my son passed away and didn’t want to live anymore. The only thing that held me back was how it would effect my daughter and other family members. But it’s hard.
My friend died on the 5th of this month from cancer. But I have also lost a friend from suicide. It hurts so bad. We have to be careful with the medication that is prescribed to our children. My oldest grandchild was given a medication that made her at 9 years old suicidal and it made her want to hurt her family. My daughter saw that and took her off the meds, but they don't leave your system right away, so my daughter had to hide kitchen knives, scissors, and anything sharp. She is better now, praise Jesus. I can't even imagine losing one of my babies. I'm crying as I write this. Loss hurts, and it's a tangible feeling that will tear you apart if you let it. Much love brother ❤
I have been afraid to open up and admit my mental state for many years. I didn't want to put the burden on my family and like you said was afraid of the judgement of other people.
First of all sorry for all you have losses in life, I will mention that sometimes people that are in that space can’t see the hope or light in anything so sometimes hope does
ive been very lucky that most of my friends are still around but its because we are fighters and we wont let demons destroy us but its a fight and we talk semi regularily
@@TormentedVet_Reactions for some the demons just become to much but trust me the question you said to ask ive done multiply times and litterally when they have said yes i looked back at them grabbed them and said tell me why you feel thats your only option and just to watch you friend emtionally breakdown in your arms is hard but its such a healing moment love the reaction and honestly never thought you were actually going to respond to my comment
In 2016, I thought about ending it, but I didn't because the Song Would Anyone Care and Let It burn came on. I have a fear of being judged, abandoned, labeled crazy, annoying, burden
Hey man! I’m 18 years old and decided I want to go Army I made 60 on the asvab and want to go infantry I have a lot of questions and not a lot of answers I was wanting to know if you could answer some of them
Sometimes the contact isn't for help. Your friend had decided and he cared about you enough to want to spend time with you before he left. Take comfort if you can in that

Brother I am a disabled vet myself who has fought anxiety and depression. I have been homeless and hungry and cold. I have lost brothers. I have family who turned their back on me.There have been many times I wanted to end it all. Honestly I don't know what has stopped me. But brother I beg of you to please find a way to keep fighting. Find a purpose. Find a path or a light. Get help. I have cried so many tears over losses that they can't be counted. If you need to talk I am here.

@@2eREPPARA I understand how it feels. I come from a military family. I lost a cousin to suicide after he came home from Iraq. He was 32 yrs old with a wife and two little girls. His passing destroyed not only his wife and kids but also his parents and all his aunt's and uncles and cousins who loved him dearly. Currently I am trying to write a book about our stories. And dedicating it to all our brothers and sisters who are suffering. Brother I promise you, there is always another way. It won't be easy but it's no harder than the suffering and sacrifices than we have already been through. My units motto was " Forward Always" it just takes one step forward each day. Brother we are warriors, no matter the pain. We can't do it alone. It takes all of us together. I am here for you anytime.

@@2eREPPARA if the therapist is going to spout that bullshit then find a different therapist . They aren't all the same just like we aren't all the same. My Brother please don't give in . Find one that works for you. There must be a veterans organization that can recommend a different therapist. I was never the smartest or the fastest but I am stubborn as hell and loyal to the end. You are worth too much to just slip away. We are all a family. We rely on each other because the civilian world doesn't understand what we endure and the sacrifices we make.
Can anyone in comments help me with a situation? I havr a girlfriend that I'm currently dating. Who every time she gets upset about something whatever it may be. Or she has a disagreement with her family. She'll starting threatening suicide and self harming herself. I literally have a picture of her on my phone from fairly recently like a couple days ago. Holding a switchblade knife to her arm threatening to cut herself. I just don't know what to do. Because her grandma who her and I live with basically plays it off as it's no big deal. Or when I talk to the grandma about getting her help, she'll say I'm being over dramatic ect. Please let me know Thank You, Jake
I love watching your reactions.. But, I will respectfully disagree. I understand how you feel and that if you have HOPE... you have life. However, without LIFE, there is no hope. What a great message in a song though.
That’s the biggest question you can ask someone that you’re worried about

Wish it was that easy. Yes I do have a fear of being judged. I don’t have the words to explain myself.

I’m so sorry to hear this…🙏🏻
I love Rascal Flatts! They are my favorite country band. My Wish is a good song by them, as well as Things That Matter.
"Hope is what gives people the most ambition to live..."
Truer words have never been spoken.

The hardest part is to admit you have a problem. Especially to those you love. I’m proud of you!!!

I second this! I hope he does soon!

Being honest either way you say it it’s pretty much conveying the same message.
