  • This is a video about my personal experience with suicide. I purposely left it very raw and unedited, because I didn’t want to take anything away from my story.
    I get very emotional. No, I’ll be blunt. I sob in this. This isn’t a story, this is my real life.
    I wanted to share it with you after my last comfort audio. I want to share my story. I have spent so long being silenced, I want to share this part of me.
    I’m not looking for pity or validation. I just want to be heard. I don’t want my fight to be forgotten or trivialized.
    I want someone to see what I went through and say, yea, that’s me. What happens next?
    Because life happens next. It’s hard, but it gets better. I don’t want to die anymore.
    I can celebrate because I don’t want to die anymore. You will get there.
    I am here to stand with you. I share my story, feel free to share yours. We can’t be silent about this anymore.
    Thank you for listening to my story.
    It gets better.

      One of the biggest struggle I’ve found in live is recognizing the difference between gods truth and the business agenda of the church after all it was the church who crucified Jesus for not meeting their expectations. Thank you for sharing your story and I hope you’ve found genuine affection and compassion in your journey.

    I've never had any experiences like this, but I listen to suicide comfort videos occasionally just because it's nice to hear some of the things said from time to time. Your videos are some of the most heartfelt I've listened to, and I believe it will help someone who truly needs it. I am glad you are here, and admire all the work you've done to take care of yourself, and the willingness to talk about it all. I look forward to hearing more from you, whether it's ASMR or more personal conversations.

    Okay..maybe it’s 4 months later..or five, and everyone has given you their praise and i’m not saying anything new..
    But you ARE that someone. When I had gone through every asmr possible, eventually leading to the morally fucked up ones involving aliens and myself, claiming humans to be dumb and primitive and bla bla bla..which didn’t help a 15 year old boy..can’t believe imm eighteen now, YOU were the voice that made me smile, made me feel good, made me satisfied so I could sleep and make it through highschool those years ago.
    Crazy as it is, i’m me, who I am, because of YOU.

    I can't describe just how sorry I am. Having depression, anxiety, and OCD myself, made 2 suicide attempts, and had constant suicidal thoughts for a 6 month period last year, I can relate to this like no one should ever have to. I am also currently having therapy which has already cost me £700 ($890) in 2 months. The only reason I can pay for it is because my cousins and I managed to sell my late grandfather's home. It disgusts me to no end that people are expected to pay just have their sanity back. It's bad enough here in the UK where our hugely respected and loved NHS has been gutted over the past 14 years. It's so hard now to get mental health treatment, and I suspect it's even worse in the US. If nothing else, my experience has tempted me to take a conversion course to psychology, because I really think that it might be a line of work that I would have a real drive to do, not something any other job has made me feel. Above all, I want to do something to help those in poverty, or otherwise can't afford treatment, or the education and training to become mental health professionals who are desperately needed all over the world. I had the benefit of having good parents. The way your family treated you is beyond disgraceful. I don't believe in God myself, but if God is an enlightened being, then I doubt they care if you're bi or non-binary. If God was offended by those things, they wouldn't exist. My highest respect to you for talking about this. Don't let that bit of hope go. It does get better. You may end up helping others who share your experience too. All the hugs!

    I had no idea that there was so much on your plate. The fact that your own family, who should love you more than anything, refused to help you is absolutely atrocious and disgusting. They don’t deserve such a kind soul like you. Sorry if that seems harsh but it just grinds my gears whenever parents don’t care for their own children. I hope you are better now and you have people who actually care about you. ❤ I’m sorry about your religious experience as well, I hope you know that you’re not alone in this.

    I’m not the best at talking about how much I appreciate things or people but thank you for the audios you’ve released, they’ve helped me a lot. For the past couple months I started listening to asmr because it was the only way I could feel listened too or loved. I guess mainly because of the fear that I’m overreacting on how I feel so I haven’t tried talking to anyone because I don’t want to seem like im seeking attention. But I just want to say thanks, these are the only way for me to feel happy lately and you always do such a good job. I hope you’re doing okay, thanks for everything

    This hurts me, hearing anybody like this. It's worse knowing I can't do anything to help. I wish that I could so much. But I can't. I hope that you get better, and that you find someone that will listen to you. To help you whenever you need it. I haven't been through much. No where near as much as a lot of people have been through. I know that's a good thing. Though, sometimes, I wish I have. Just to be able to understand how people feel, and to be able to help them. As I've said before; I hope you get better. I hope you find A Resting Place of your own, where you don't have to worry about anything. And someone that will listen to you, and help you as needed. This comment is pretty bloated, so I'll end it with this: Be yourself. No matter what.

    I never experienced this thoughts myself, but still this topic is quite personal to me. More that one of my closest friends (one of them has also BPD) tried and it was really scary for me, even though we are "just" friends. The idea that i will never talk to them or laugh with them again and that feeling that i couldnt help them, when they needed it...It haunted me 24/7 during those days.
    What i am trying to say by this nonsense dump is that even when you feel absolutely alone and afraid that everyone doesn't care about you, there is a good chance that someone will really miss you and that someone want to help you...
    I really hope that things will get better for you and thank you for sharing this with us.

I know I’m just some stranger on the internet to you, but I just want you to know that I am so so proud of you for fighting and staying strong despite all the low points. I believe I speak for everyone on this channel and everyone who knows you when I say that I’m very, very happy that you’re with us and that you’re handling such a difficult situation. Please, please don’t ever apologise for this. It’s not your fault. And it’s totally reasonable to be emotional and feel weak when you’re talking about a topic that affects you this much. Maybe I don’t know you personally, but it makes me so, so proud that you have the strength to stay strong and living your life.
    We’re all so proud of you for powering through.

    I feel like I can’t be sad or mad or have any emotions so I kept it all in. It doesn’t help that I’m a guy who grew up in a place where men aren’t really supposed to be sad or mad or anything of the sort. I’ve dug myself into a hole a deep dark pit of disdain for myself. I haven’t tried divide but self harm was prevalent. My life line is you and my mom and I know some people don’t even have that. I’m lonely, sad, angry, and odd. People always leave me behind and it hurts, I have no friends and the friends that I do have leave or die. I know people that have far less than me in their life and yet they love their life to the fullest so why can’t I, the boy who has EVERYTHING BE HAPPY? That thought often leads to self harm I have scars on my arms now and I always had suicidal thoughts but never tried because I knew it would kill my mother if I did so I had to push through o still experience it but at the end of the day I am a guy and have to push through. I admire your bravery for telling your story Madame. Rest well

    I have faced only one who was trying kill themselves... Once I knew things were going out if hand... My own soul felt like I was slowly about to break apart into pieces one by one.... I knew every year would come new challenges... things are harsh... I also am a fellow christian and I always listen to reminders to what God would message me and the other people... My teachers, pastors and friends.... they do understand the circumstances and they kept moving on until they faced it.... I wish one say that God is there to you, sending His Son Jesus Christ to you... I just hope... I just hope that nothing ever happens... I want to hold up a cross and so as everyone could do the same to care and know that we all love you and that God is there... If ever there us hard times... ask the pastor, politely say that you needed Jesus Christ as your savior.. The enemy will go away.... What matters is to say goodbye to shame and open up to forgivness. We hope you feel better from the negative outcomes... we want to make you feel happy and free from the terrible things that happened.... Rest and drink with the Lord.... read, sleep, look in the mirror and tell to your relfection that I would one day that I was a sinner saved by Grace... Don't lose hope... God spared people and wants them to do the things they want... I ask this the Lord Father, heal her spirit, take away the negative thoughts the devil implanted her soul. Guider her through the journeys she will go, Jesus shine the light as the path for her, let her seek the truth and the repentance for you Lord. Bless her by all means and keep her safe, her work, her life, her love, her care and most importantly, her spirit to be saved by the Lord Christ. In Christ's name... I say Amen to you... ⛪✡️🛐

And it kinda felt amazing to actually talk about it you know?
