      @EricBZink, you bleeping broke me, as I am here on a Sunday afternoon thinking of the same thing. (Financial stress and the recent loss of an ex live-in girlfriend) I have never seen a more REAL talk about going to the edge! Liked and subscribed immediately, the 8-minute-on mark got me, big time!
      What area of the country are you in? You came of as the type of person anyone would be lucky to have in their circle. REAL AF.

    Selfish family members can contribute to someone's depression that leads to suicide, even though it isn't 100% anyone's fault. That needs to be put out there more often. It's actually a huge factor for a lot of people.
    Thank you for sharing your story.

      Sooo true. The family who shuns and is cruel all the time, All the time, causes 💔 suicide thoughts and the longer the time goes by and the suicide thoughts get deeper. And I JUST WANT TO SAY TO EVERYONE WHO WAS CRUEL TO ME GOODFUCKINGBYE.

      Facts.. my parents yelled at me daily about having a job and being successful and moving out, in the Bay Area, where a home is like 3 million dollars… I crippled myself on the job and my family kicked me out. I have wanted to die everyday, they won’t even talk to me now, they tell me I shouldn’t have did it to myself… they ask why I feel so stressed about nothing, when it was them telling me daily that I was going to be homeless because I couldn’t work hard..

      Yh, pretty sure my selfish, control freak, shrewd, heartless father will drive me to it. Though I should probably write the long book about everything and him go down in history afterwards. He's like Putin but has a 161 IQ and is in his 70's. How do I compete with that?

    Your story rings so true to me. I’m 51 and have struggled with severe depression that meds don’t touch. I’ve always considered life as not to be lived but endured. I have a great wife and kids but I’ve been , too many times with a pistol in my mouth ready to blow my brains out. I’ve hated my life since I was about 14 yrs old. The way I got through it was to work. As long as I was working I couldn’t think about dying. It’s a terrible disease. One day at a time.

      It is not fair that some places like America got easy access to guns, and can take the easiest, most effective way out. UK people have to do a traumatic way. Needs to be places anyone can get it done if they qualify as having no point in living their life.

    Thanks for sharing your story. I had a job that required me to remove bodies at times. I got a call for a guy who shot himself in the heart in the basement of the family home. When i get there the whole neighborhood was grieving outside the house. Apparently he had just changed medication for his depression. We put him in a body bag and carried him up the stairs to the stretcher into our ambulance then drove to the mourge. I will never forget looking at the family when we were leaving the home. Rest in peace to that man and his family.

    you have no idea how amazing you are, im only 14 and every day i wake up wondering "why the hell am i still alive, no one wants me, im worthless, i should go get my gun and rope and im gonna fucking do this", and i went on TikTok, looked up dr1ven8 and your videos absolutely help me whenever im having these moments where i feel fucking worthless. i tell people whats wrong and they tell me i want attention and just leave my life right away. i still to this day, wake up hoping the day would come where i would just not wake up ever again, i joined the discord, but i dont bother texting you because i feel like i would just be annoying. thank you for what you do everyday, sharing your stories to help others, no matter how hard it must be to talk about these things every day. please know it'll be okay and you're amazing, and you matter! you made it through 100% of your worst days to get through two today! 😌

    Eric, thank you. I was feeling really low tonight. I lost my Mom and best friend, will probably lose my home, and I'm broke because I couldn't really work while taking care of Mom. The thought of being full of this grief and just wanting not to be here anymore makes me wonder how I can even go out and try to start a new job. I relate to alot of what you said and somehow the pain feels somewhat better after hearing you. I think I need some type of counseling because I am so heartbroken. My Mom did hospice at home and I think I might see if they can send me a grief counselor. Thank you for being so real. Thank you for keeping me company with your thoughts and words at this terrible time.

    Tied 3 belts together earlier, hung it from the bannister as a sort of test, seemed about the right height. Maybe later. No way I'm living with my weird burden and the accompanying bullshit for the rest of my life. Some people literally been forced to do it, which sucks. Wish there were easier humane ways with a sympathetic board allowing it to happen for you.

    I started shaking and crying by watching it and I had to take a little break.I'm so glad you shared your story.I'm so proud of you, your courage and your strength.I know that your dad is very proud of you.You really make a difference in someone else's life.
    My dad took his life 3 years ago on the 23 rd.Yesterday,3 years ago his wife called me.He took a overdose.The last time I talked to him was on my birthday 5 days before I got that call.
    I still miss him.He was my rock.
    I attempted suicide multiple times.In 2019 was my last and it ended up in the hospital again.And I'm currently struggling due through this situation of isolation and social distancing.I haven't seen my therapist for 6 weeks.We can only talk on the phone but her time is limited.
    So I struggle most of the time silently, because there is nobody else to talk to.I don't want to make my kids feel worried about me or being a burden.I really need help because I don't know what to do any more.
    I even don't struggle only with my BPD.Actually I wouldn't ask for help.But currently I'm my worst enemy.And I can't escape from this situation.

IT GETS BETTER please trust me. you have eric’s story and my sister almost committed suicide in 2016 but she didn’t because she thought about my mom and i. she was at her lowest point and she didn’t think that things would get better, but now she’s happier than ever. she’s doing amazing in school, and has a loving family and boyfriend, so please things get better. you matter. your family loves you, your friends, so many more people than what you can imagine. try using his discord and resources provided in the description. you can do this. it gets better. i love you. ❤️

    Thank you for this and being 100%. This past week I almost let the guilt and pain of my dads death win. Still cant stop the noise in my head. I'll figure it out, I hope. Ironically, this video is like your frozen bottle of vodka.

    Thank you so much for sharing this. I’m so sorry you’ve had such a horrible time and your losses of loved ones. I’m in one of the darkest places I’ve ever been. For the 1st time in my life: I can’t see my future. Blank darkness. It’s freaking me out bad. I have bipolar disorder, PTSD, GAD, chronic illness, and I’m literally going blind from a rare genetic eye disease. I’m alone. Part of it is by design: I’m an introvert and I’m depressed af. I’ve reached out to my psychiatrist, and we’ve done 2 med changes in a month. I’ve told a few friends, but I’ve pushed friends away, too. I’ve told my family: they gave me nothing. Actually, they got MAD at me, even knowing I’m in a really bad place. I am such a burden. That was the last straw. Idk why. It just was. I finally reached out to my boss/friend yesterday. He helped me, but bipolar depression ended that last night. The ONLY reason I lived through this past weekend was TH-cam videos nonstop about suicide. I found many, many helpful inspirational videos. People being brutally honest about their suicide attempts, suicidal ideation, treating suicidal bipolar or ptsd people, and suicide survivors of a loved one committing suicide. I’m fighting hard, but... I’ve FORCED myself to tell people I see every day. I know what is done in secret can murder you, so I don’t keep it secret in an attempt to live. Psych wards are unsafe with the laws now. I’m not at that point: I’ve voluntarily went in every time I’ve been. Thank you for sharing. It’s helping me.

    A lot of similarities, and a lot of differences. The main reason I don't reach out for help is because I feel so ashamed, and a burden to those I come in contact with. Guilt has a lot to do with it, as well.
    I hope everyone going through this, including me, can find some sort of light in this dark place.

My boyfriend had forgotten his wallet. I was hopeless. I've felt the hopelessness creeping back in. I can barely walk, can't have my surgery cause this covid bs, I dont want to be A burden to my husband. I had have this time it will work. Instead I'm going to get help tomorrow. I no that pain and anger from suicide I dont want my husband to go threw that. Much luv I'm glad you're here you probably saved my life.

There's injustice, people take advantage of other people, certain people try to rob other people. Who knows how many wars are going on right now? There are cities where lots of drug addicts and homeless are that can't be helped/taken care of.

I thought i was doing better but this past year it has been extremely bad, I have started counseling but i feel like its not helping. Kinda just over it all yano
    Nonne cares though I dont have real people in my life that really care, if I dont reach out to ppl noone will reach out to me ever went 3 days with my phone off and guess what not a a single message. Just over being there for everyone but noone is there for me. And yes noone will get it, they never have. People I have opened up to in my past arent around anymore or treat me like shit now. so Whats the damn point?
