17th March St. Patrick's Day. You were correct the 1st time. The teachers and lecturers must wish they had command of thousands of children as Kevin Hines did on this day. AMAZING! Love his tireless work in saving lives. Well done naming your racist bullies.
@Kevin Hines I am sorry to say, you don't know me and we've never met. Your story in the piece to camera, that you did in the DUPONT documentary, The Bridge, left me with the inexplicable feeling that you are someone very special indeed. Since then, the more I watch you and listen to the things you say, I feel that God saved your precious life and sent you here to save others. .Just as Jesus Christ did. I'm serious and definitely not a religeous zealot or delusional. As to the date.... You told the schoolkids that it was St. Patrick's day....17th of March. I do hope that I didn't alarm you in any way. #BeHereTomorrow
She was just released from the psych ward this month & has actually been trying instead of giving up, cutting, or stealing Tylenol/Motrin to overdose on. That’s what landed her in the hospital. We’re from the Bay Area too.
@@Im6yrsOldBeNice2Me I just happened to find this comment and wanted to reach out. I feel for you, you have been on some hard roads. One of my kids dealt with mental illness and if started early. From 13 to 17 she was hospitalized 6 times with one stint in a residential unit for 7 months. She was on multiple different meds which I did not know at the time were not recommended for use in children under the age of 18. Most every time she went to the hospital, she would tell me, she needed to go. Only a couple times I took her there as it was recommended. Mental illness in adults is hard enough. Mental illness for a child can be even worse as they do not know or understand oftentimes what is going on. My best wishes to you and to your daughter. Hang in there ❤️🙏🏻
@@technicolorrose5549 thank you for responding! He still struggles but we just started prozac (both of us) 🙏🏼 he seems to be doing much better. I pray you & your daughter are well.
Thank you so much for coming to Sedro-Woolley High School. My ex girlfriend recently lost her uncle, whom she was very close to, to suicide. Your story was very inspiring and has touched everyone who has heard it. Thank You Again!!!
This made me cry because I’m 11 and I’ve tried 8 times and I’ve stop because ik I would cause my family pain but I’m fighting to keep myself alive but thank you for sharing your story!🤍
Don't please. Everyone deserves to live life. Everyone beautiful in and out in there own way. U ever need someone to talk to. I'm here. Yeah, I'm a stranger. But I talk to u. Ur never alone. Remember that
I hope this year finds you better than the last. You are still young and have lots to live for. I have a daughter who is older than you and started with depression/anxiety at an early age. I have it myself, it runs in my family. I don't know your circumstances but remember this: sometimes you gotta take it minute by minute instead of day by day. I know that may sound cliche but it's true. I'm glad you recognize that it will cause a lifetime of pain if you make that choice. I've been on both sides. My father committed suicide when I was 25 years old, just when we were getting to have a good relationship again after many many years. I've had other suicides of people close to me and lost friends, family members to unexpected deaths. Been through a lot of stuff as I'm sure you have too. Please don't ever forget that your family and friends love you. I've also been the person that's tried too. I am close to 5 months of being out of the hospital & having one foot in death's door. It turned my life around and I saw first hand the pain I could have left behind as well. I still have hard days and struggle too. You likely will too. But your life is worth living even at it's hardest. Much love to you, my dear. Keep on hanging in there ❤️
It's a beautiful day because I came across this video! Thank you for helping me see that life is a gift no matter the pain I am in! Thank you for your example to keep going in spite of the pain and that your powerful words have helped me find hope ❤ I'm so grateful to know you! You have helped me to continue to be here!
Hello buddy good morning, it’s 8:54 AM here in Missouri, Ryan is speaking to a hospital association. I’m gonna give my all today. In this video you’re watching above, “My Greatest Story” I was certainly having is having some cognitive decline. I’m doing much better now , & I want to make sure to answer all of your questions today. So at the end of my presentation when I’ve got some downtime before my flight home to see my lovely wife Margaret I’ll answer all of your questions and try to help each of you the best way I can. Wishing you love light hope, healing and recovery, Sincerely, Kevin Hines.
This was AWESOME. I mean absolutely awesome. Kevin I did not know your STORY story until this. Kudos to you for doing this. I know these students/teachers will NEVER Forget this.
I just wanna say thank you for your story I have been living with the same issues I have attempted to hurt myself for several years I deal with a lot of guilt in my life and I hurt everyone one that I love and it’s painful because they are trying to help but I will say since I saw your story and it made me realize that my life has meaning and I can finally talk to someone to help me coupe with my depression I have medicating myself self with drugs but since this story I have stopped cold turkey and it’s been hard to kick these habits but I will say I watch your video daily for motivation and it’s an accomplishment for me I have been sober for about 2 and half years and I have found a new found happiness in life with 5 beautiful and amazing kids and a wife that has made sure every day to let me know that I have purpose just like you I have dog name precious that knows when I’m hurting and she always comes up to me and smothers me with licks I thank you Kevin for not only your story but thank you for being amazing and letting anyone any situation there is light you have been an inspiration to me personally
I recognize and acknowledge them then I remind myself that they are real to me but in a distorted reality and in that reality they cannot hurt me. That I’m safe from them and if they are trying to hurt me, I make sure to appose them, saying aloud “you cannot hurt me and I will not listen to you(them)
This was powerful. Like many I've had my struggles over the years and your story resonates with me since i learned of it from the documentary. What you do and your passion for helping others Is infectious. So glad to see you doing well and that is also infectious ❤️ Much love brother
I volunteered at one of them yesterday as support for any student who needed an ear. You did a good job. I've heard your story the first time during a youth mental health training and it actually compelled me to check up on a veteran friend of mine while I was watching your story on the screen during it. He has bipolar as well and is always hard to get in touch with when you contact him. Surprisingly, a week later he contacted me and he was in serious crisis and I tended to him through the horrors of that. Long story short, he's doing much better now and is in school. But I have to contact him again. When we don't hear from him, it always gets worrying. Question: Have you done outreach for active duty and veteran population, specifically on military bases or veteran organizations/hospitals? As a former military brat and caregiver of a disabled veteran, that's one of the main demographics I do a lot of outreach through music programs and performance. There is such a big need and I know you have a powerful impact. If you already have since you have a connection, that's awesome too. 🙂
Hello Kevin, you were in Sedro-Woolley HS today and you said, if we write you here, you would response, so I'm just gonna try. You talked a lot about that everyone is loved and worthy and has a purpose. I know that this is right for every person, but I feel like this doesn't apply to me. I feel so worthless, useless, helpless etc. I feel like no one would understand me nor take me serious if I would talk to them about my suicidal thoughts. I just think that these people would tell me that I am loved and so on, but the problem is, that I will never belief it, no matter how many people would say that.
One thing my dad told me before he passed was never regret and never forget who you are and any day above ground is a good day
Every day I wake up is indeed a great day! I get to be here! Thanks 🙏🏽 for the comment

Going to share this with my 12 yr old who is suffering mental illness. Thank you Kevin!
She was just released from the psych ward this month & has actually been trying instead of giving up, cutting, or stealing Tylenol/Motrin to overdose on. That’s what landed her in the hospital. We’re from the Bay Area too.

I always come back to this video, when I feel broken.
This video had me in tears so many times and so inspiring, you should come to Auburn, AL and tell your story down here
Hey Auburn! Grew up going to games there...basketball and football.

im sorry for ur los
You were just at puyallup high school and I have a question for you how do you deal with the voices you get
I recognize and acknowledge them then I remind myself that they are real to me but in a distorted reality and in that reality they cannot hurt me. That I’m safe from them and if they are trying to hurt me, I make sure to appose them, saying aloud “you cannot hurt me and I will not listen to you(them)
Kevin Hines thanks I needed to hear this

I have and do regularly
Thank you for your kind words
I have both bipolar and Aspergers. How ironic? I’m not Hispanic/Latino however.
Why is that ironic is it unusual for autistics?
This. ❤❤❤
Hello Kevin, you were in Sedro-Woolley HS today and you said, if we write you here, you would response, so I'm just gonna try.
You talked a lot about that everyone is loved and worthy and has a purpose. I know that this is right for every person, but I feel like this doesn't apply to me. I feel so worthless, useless, helpless etc. I feel like no one would understand me nor take me serious if I would talk to them about my suicidal thoughts.
I just think that these people would tell me that I am loved and so on, but the problem is, that I will never belief it, no matter how many people would say that.
I’m here for you. I believe In you. I believe you can find time to change and feel better. #Iamwithyou
I’m here for you. I believe In you. I believe you can find time to change and feel better. #Iamwithyou
@@KevinHines I think maybe some people are not supposed to be on this world, so they have to try to find a better place off of this world.
I’m so sorry you feel this way. I hope if you are Suicidal you’ll text CNQR - to 741-741
I will try to. I know that it wouldn't be the right decicion, but sometimes it seems like the only way.
Kevin hines I was at the Washington state fair and I was wondering how did you come with the voices.
See my reply to slizer below
@@KevinHines thanks
lol u r so funny
