Chester Bennington's cry for HELP! Linkin Park

- In this video from an interview in Feb '17 shows Chester Bennington expressing his cries for help. Hindsight is 20/20. At the time the interviewer and fans alike joked at his comments. Looking back, it's clearly not a joking matter. Mental illness is a very serious issue, that is not to be over looked. It can take all forms. People you know may be going through similar situations. So next time you have someone pour their heart out to you, really listen to what they are saying. It may be a cry for help..... This is not a promo for WakingUpDad or WakingUpDad.net .... I am simply posting this as a long time fan of Chester and the group Linkin Park. I am just as shocked as everyone else and searching for answers as to why. In the video he clearly is telling us. We just didn't listen. RIP Chester Bennington. You will be missed. Prayers to his family, wife and kids.

He didn't kill himself
When you break your arm, everyone wants to sign your cast. But when your brain is sick, everyone runs away...and that's when you need people the most. RIP Chester :(
shamrock2228 your absolutely right. How sad..
shamrock2228 Mental illness is completely different from a broke arm. Mental illnesses has been so stigmatized in this country to the point where people don't want to confront it because it's "if you have a mental illness, you're crazy. Stay away from him because he might be bipolar" etc. When we start treating mental illness with compassion and understanding, then things will change.
Candie Ray very true. I've struggled with it my entire life. My grandfather, uncle, and cousin committed suicide within 5 years of each other...along with too many friends to count. We desperately need more empathy and compassion in the world.
shamrock2228 so sad and so true. Pain is pain.
shamrock2228 That is so true. Everyone knows how to help a broken arm, but not many know how to deal with depression and other mental disorders.
The fact the interviewer laughed is the prime reason why men never open up emotionally
yeah man, this laughter was so bad! its a heart opening to the world there is actually 100 percent NOTHING funny!! RIP Chester, u are lovely and loved!
Not just men unfortunately
💯 smh 😤 🤦 😔
To be fair he sis say it in an amusing way with a smile on his face and he didn't seem bent at all that the guy laughed about it a bit. Chester didn't find it unreasonable so neither should you.
ME2. I haven't been my "old self" since I lost my son. Nobody wants to hear what is going on in my head and my heart either.
He was basically saying "my mind is a prison". As a person who battles depression, I can totally relate. Hope he found some peace.
Nope, he's dead. He doesn't feel anything anymore.
@@Yumicpcake Good. That's what he wanted.
Have it too. How r you now? See you too searching for videos that can describe your feelings? You re not alone at this.
@@Khaine7th Im better, taking sertraline. You?
@@annepatton8727 Yeah... like taking a pills is the solution.
I'm a grown man, and I'm not usually emotional, but this made me tear up. I want to go back in time, and give this guy a hug
I would do it too! ❤️🩹❤️🩹
Honestly, a hug doesn't help when you're trapped inside a cage in your mind. Finding someone that truly understands will help with time, but as you saw in this conversation, that is very hard to do. When that guy laughed a small piece of him died right there. He never found someone that understood; someone that could help him find the key to the chains that were binding him.
Thats true, i didtn understand why this guy is laughing, sry not normal, chester speeks about problems and this guy is laughing 🤦♂️, i know too what is depressions and most people don't understand it, i trie to kill myself years ago.
Think we would all go back in time to give Chester a hug 😭
@@melaniecatlin4447 I've sat down and thought to myself for hours at times what I could've done to help him. It always ends with me thinking, "No, you couldn't have done anything. You didn't even know about the band at that time." 💔💔💔
This whole conversation between chester and that radio guy is the representation of having depression in front of society that doesn't know nothing about having a depression.
Great point actually
@@franktheguy8183 Yeah, very well put
Thank you someone gets it❤️👍
That's good, we shouldn't all be depressed!
@@kariyam2202 we all hope it's that easy
The interviewer that laughed, is the reason why i don't tell people my problems
Same!
You should go to a psychologist. They don't ever laugh or judge, they listen. It's the way they do their job.
@@greog1108 I agree with you. The Psychologist is best as you talk through your problems and unlike Psychiatrist's they just give you medication and maybe a little chat but a Psychologist is the best if you can afford to see one would be the best- especially if people laugh at you when your trying to express yourself to them- truly- they are not a true friend that does that.
That is the reason I talk to myself when I'm alone......
H-8434 Yawar Manzoor I do too! It’s actually kind of therapeutic for me? 😂
Dude was fighting demons. Remember, you never know what's going on in someone's head. Show people compassion and cut people slack because you just never know. RIP dude.
I'm in it if anyone will talk to me I would enjoy. Great comment
@@erik-fn2xf How're you holding up Erik?
I totally relate with this, I lived it. ….but Christ! Christ saved me and as I’ve walked with him my life hasn’t been all sunshine I’ve still taken L’s but He keeps me from hitting the mat and staying down. Cry out to the Lord he’s real and cares. He’s given me a heart for people and a purpose….🙏
@@user-vx6nn1uo4t Religious nut cases make problems worse, preying on people's fears and guilts. Some of us live in reality, not some BS fantasy world. But you do you man. Whatever works for you, but don't be pushing the religious nut case stuff on others. It's a cult man.
@@user-vx6nn1uo4tthat's such a big lie
I miss him every day.. He was such an amazing human. 😢😢
Every single day.😢
Faz muita falta ... Chester era uma lenda
😢😢😢❤️🩹💞
The saddest thing is that there are probably milions of people, including me, who while watching this interview were thinking "damn, it's like listening to myself"
badbadbad 100%
Hang in there pal. See what i did haha ?
badbadbad yep.. I totally feel useless even living right now
Lost my girlfriend
My job
Fucked up my study
Have a 10k debt now
Lost my car, it got stolen
Lost my drums, they got stolen
Family? I don't have those anymore they were all victims of war
Really, I don't see much of a need to live anymore
Might just join Chester, he was my savior
Guys seriously seek help, he didnt and now hes dead.
M.L.D Recordz disgusting low life
He wasn't crying for help, he was So bravely describing such a terrible and painful illness..
But who noticed? No one, you're are NOT brave killing yourself, and before anyone ?s I know I seen my father kill himself! Mental health is Frickin scary
He was and i see it
@@lylebump4507 well i guess we all knew since 2004, meteora (just one example cause I could have said hybrid theory) is all about being desperate, feeling sad, angry lonely and so lost, he also talked in a really open way about his own depression in some interviews, but what could we do? This is a medical and personal issue , nothing to do with us all fans and people who never knew him even tho all of us would’ve wished to help..
@@lylebump4507 and I said he was brave because its so hard to speak about your own mental illness it breaks myself in pieces infront of just my doctor and he could do that on media. Suicide is never a solution, never brave but yet it isnt for cowards either. Its just the worst consequence from a mental sickness.
They talk about it they leave hints, but sadly NO one close enough to him was present 🤨,I'm sorry I'm perceived as Blame someone except the PERSON who should be!,we ALL fail in expressing our appreciation and love for everyone around us!!!
I also have depression. I am not happy but I am also not sad. I just feel empty, nothing. I know theres different kinds of depressions but this is how I feel. This might not be the best way to approach it but this is how I cope with it or how its working for me. I just accepted it. I accepted to have this feeling in my life. I accepted myself to be this way. Before you ask, yea I have been trying to get rid of it for years, I have been trying so hard to be able to enjoy everything again like a child on an adventure but it just isnt happening, its not working. And that is ok. If that is who I am then so be it. I will not let that feeling take over my life. I know its there but I also know that I am here and thats what is important.
Depends on age if your a female bc this numbness happened to over 7 years due to hormonal imbalance. Uk Gps couldn’t give a dam an this is why we go crazy or if lucky for others,we take our life
@@yeelahowah7476 Yea, learning to appreciate is important.
@@user-pk6bq5xu7b I dont really have an answer to that because it is different for everyone. You need to find out what makes you happy or why you want to become happy in the first place. Do you really want to be happy or do you just not want to be sad anymore? Theres a difference between the two. And like I said in my comment I am not really happy because I tried to be but I just cant be, or I just havent found a way to be yet. So my next step was to just not be sad, and I managed to do that by accepting the way I am and appreciating the things I have in my life. While I am not truly happy, you could say I found a state of peace in myself. Again, this is something that worked for me and it might not for you, and if it does not work for you, you can still take this information to get you at least going, like a first step to where you want to be.
@@user-pk6bq5xu7b 15My eyes are always toward Jehovah, For he will free my feet from the net.16Turn your face to me and show me favor, For I am alone and helpless.
That’s not depression
It’s far worse
I will never understand how the interview partner could laugh about Chester discribing pure pain.
Evilness.
Well you see by his reaction, he doesnt feel insulted, cause what he kinda points out before is, whoever hears that and can laugh.. .was never there and doesnt understand. thats kinda my first rule of all of that.... sadly i do know...
He just didn't understand it... not his fault. Only Chester knew it and people that go through the same.
because he dont understand the struggle and the pain
It’s not evil he just didn’t understand what exactly he was going through. Men tend to make light about their pain and joke about it, but they never truly understand how much they are all suffering. Sadly that’s why so many men kill themselves, because men are not really encouraged to show how they really are, it’s seen as weakness to society, so we play it down and make light of it
Chester: "I don't know if anybody out there can relate"
Trust me Chester, so many of us do
I feel like sadly too many actually can, in a lesser or even a more serious degree... relate. But so few speak up. And even when they do, like Chester. They're just not often taken seriously. Everyone can relate to a broken leg, but if they can't understand whats wrong, well then obviously then nothing is wrong because they can't understand it.... And that's the problem with mental health sadly. When you try to explain to someone you have severe anxiety for instance. It's Russian roulette weather or not they understand or tell you to "get a grip".
A lot of people feel this way.
Yes.
Totally relate
I was speaking about this at work the other day and there is far to much stigma attached people are told to man up or told that depression is bullshit that was what i was told and i had to hold my tongue if u dont go through it you dont understand how it feels. We lost one of the greatest of all time through depression and many other lose lives through this. People need to speak more about it however i dont have the courage to speak out because of the stigma. Chester helped so many its a shame he didnt have that help.
He wasn't suffering in silence.. he was screaming for help, you can hear it in his words but nobody was really listening and it's really sad.. miss him madly :(
"Nobody was really listening". Eerily similar to the song "Nobody's Listening"...creepy shit
Veronika Císarová That's true... sadly, he was in the world too fast, to busy making money and things like these are not gonna generate money. there could be a million reasons why things happen at this day and time. But we will also be blind on a situation like this cause it is not being taken seriously. He was very vocal about it but sorry this was not in the cards, move on against your will. How much more people who keep it only inside. You're like a balloon full of helium exploding any time soon. We have to strive hard in finding time to spend it with our loved ones. I believe it is the first step to a stronger well being. #PrayingForChesterBennington #PrayerForPeopleWhoFeelAlone #VirtualHugsForTheMeantime
you gotta learn to patch em up yourself
I don't think many people are blaming his family. He may have deliberately sought to be alone. As someone who has been in that dark horrible place, I know that there is very little if anything at all that my family could have done at that point in time to save me. People are just hurting that his illness was so clear with 20/20 hindsight and noone could save him.
Beto McKnight That is also true because you are responsible with your own life. But if you have a twisted mind, most likely you will have twisted decisions. It is vital to admit that there is something wrong with yourself and you have a strong will to change and overcome it and seek for professional help. two heads are better than one, right? :)
That song... It makes me cry even without hearing the lyrics. "Who cares if one more light goes out, well I do" -A man who died of depression
It takes courage to
have that level of honesty
When men talk about Clinical Depression, THIS is what it sounds like. Rest In Peace, Chester!
Adidas Love When women do it they complain about being triggered than "attempt" suicide aka deliberately fail at it for attention
+N7 Um... women? Dude we're not all one being lol I guess maybe a few people have done that? But that doesn't represent all of us...?
Anxious Sushi I was merely referring to the statistic that more women attempt suicide than men but despite this more men actually commit suicide successfully.
its not just men, I feel this toon
Kat Rider well I hope you get help and watching this helps you
Fuckin chester man, wish there was a line for u to have all ur fans numbers, we woulda fucking saved u brother, u saved us
+Robert Gum Yes I agree 100%. Wish we could have returned the favor
Robert Gum I really can't stop crying. This is so crazy.
I'm a depressed agoraphobic person filled to the brim with anxiety and I would've traveled across the world on the next flight if he needed me. I would have literally gone to the end of the earth for him because without him I don't believe I would be alive. I owe him my life. I would give just about anything to be able to save him.
Evalynn 💗I'm with you there. . LP got me through sone realy tough shit and I don't know where I would be ... if.. he , they weren't making music to make me feel like I'm not alone in a screaming crowded world where no one can see me or hear me or understand me... We Are Family! 💟
Robert Gum That is one of the hardest things for me. Linkin Park saved me...their music helped me through so much....deaths, abuse etc...and I wouldnt be here if I didnt hav their music. Almost makes me feel guilt being here when one of the influences (Chester and the band) that helped me isnt. Why did they save so may yet he wasnt saved?
I would never forget that moment, specially about the host laughing. I get it not most people would react properly but my first thought hearing it was shock and I would have stopped everything to hug him and say "whatever you need I am here bro" after all is everything I needed when I was there
I thought the exact same thing!
That would not be appropriate right then but maybe after
Depression is like the weather, when it’s raining, you can’t “wish” it away, or drink it away… just take shelter, be patient and the sun WILL come out. All on its own. Eventually. Peace x
I have always appreciated psycadelics and believe they can teach real lessons about depression. I always hate being depressed, sometimes its a day, maybe a couple of weeks. I always know it will pass, just like the bad parts of a trip. When I experienced those trips I felt extreme anxiety and would sift through experiences and judge myself. It was always hard coming up, but eventually I have some clarity and everything starts moving and I can appreciate everything. So just like the rough parts of a trip, you just ride it out. It's just a part of the experience, soon you can reflect with clarity.
When he said “there’s a Chester in there that wants to take me down” I hurt.
And Indeed he took him down...
I feel that
2020 and im still missing him and its just. Like Linkin Park isn't complete
@@funtimefoxy3393 same its like he isnt even gone to me its just he hasn't been gone he just been spending time with his friend
@@therealboomhauer69 It would be amazing if that was the case and t friend was Mike.
“This is a bad place for me to be alone”
Same here,and it's killing me day by day second by second

@@siakerynhiam2113 Just happened to watch this video, just happened to read your comment, and I want to send you a warm hug and I hope everything good to you, and I hope something beautiful will come on your way. Greetings from Finland!
Chester described what so many of us feel way too often. Fighting to sort all the thoughts and make sense of everything can be overwhelming. Still devastated about his departure, but blessed to have the music. Blessings to his family and friends.
Yea i wish i could talk to someone but everyone ignores me
"My childhood, I shouldnt be there alone, I can't be there by myself"....... "Right here, the area between my ears, there is a small chester who wants to take me down" RIP my favourite...no one can take you down now..your up there
A soul just flickered and disappeared forever. No more thoughts, no more memories, and no concept of time. Where are you Chester, where are you?
"Try to give you warning
But everyone ignores me
Told you everything loud and clear
But nobody's listening"
What song is that from? If it is a song. I am not the biggest LP fan. Love their music tho
Nobody's Listening from Meteora
+Lions Alive thank you
Tom Riffle dude I played this in front 9f my parents and left. .. you can have those lyrics screaming out and some ppl just don't get it... .. its been 12 years and they still don't get that life was hard..I was suffering and they just didn't get it.. or be bothered to give a shit..
Knowing what we know now... it breaks my heart that he took his own life..
His song Nobody's Listening. It's heart breaking no one listened enough and he committed suicide. In another song of his, Shadow Of The Day he sings "sometimes goodbye's the only way." R.I.P Chester Bennington :.(
I just wanna give him a fucking hug man... :(
Splorgus go dig him up and hug him then
i miss Chester bennington so much he was the Land Singer of Linkin park i want to have Chester bennington a hug😔😢😞
you are sick in your had
Splorgus same.
I Only Fuck White Men He was cremated so it would be hard lol
As a 14 year old, loving Linkin Park and Chester this hurts. Some may think since you’re young you don’t understand but in certain aspects I agree and relate to him. I feel the most hurt realizing he’s helped me and no one could help him. Rip Chester. We miss you, and will always love you. 💔
It’s gonna be ok. I was 8 when I found Linkin park. I was younger when I was alone and even now he’s right, the voice in your head is the true killer but it’s gonna be ok. We love you too buddy.
At age 14 you will understand Chester better than most adults. I have gone through the similar stuff, depression, feeling alone despite of having people around me... You should just know that it will pass, everything is gonna be okay. There will be good times and bad times in everyones lives, everything is temporary, feeling good or feeling bad. Depression will also go away one day, we should just never give up 💓😊
I'm 30. When I was your age, due to bullying at school and feeling very alone in general, I was told I was "difficult" and got no help. When my dad finally got me a doctor's appointment I was told by the doctor I was "too young" to be prescribed antidepressants or get any sort of help. There's a lot more help these days, so I hope you get some help and live a very long happy life

@@carolinesconcertvids860 Thank you❤️. I’m sorry people use unnecessary reasons to not help others, we all go through things. I’m proud of how far you’ve come though! And thank you, I hope I do too🫶🏻
The more i research into this Chester Bennington person. A person who i never had the chance to meet in real life, the more i see how beautiful and insightful he really was. I hope that hes watching all his fans from somewhere and knows how much of a difference he made in this world helping out complete strangers with their own struggles. As christians would say: god bless his soul. I hope you find bliss. Your struggles were not in vain.
No one cares that you didnt meet him, you aren't some main character

His entire music career was a cry for help.
Everyone listened to his music, bit nobody listened to him
My son who is a forever fan said that same exact thing!
I said the same thing. It's hard not to see his lyrics as a life long suicide note
LilMiss Avakin everyone knew he was struggling, it wasn’t hidden, he was extremely open about his depression.
Depression type of lyrics along with the great music is what Linkin Park is all about. Authentic expression .. ..
"Being a dad, being a husband, being a bandmate, being a friend, helping someone out" All those things couldn't distract him from himself. Depression is wild.
Work keeps me busy, what can I say?
Murder not suicide.
Depression makes you feel isolated theres nothing and nobody there just you and all the things you think are pathetic
@@aq2819 no it's very much suicide not murder
If you actually wanted to finish his quote he said all those things could and did distract him. He was home alone when he committed suicide and unfortunately his inner demons really got to him that day. He lived with those demons for most of his life so all of things that you said didn't distract him actually did.
Damn wish he wasn’t alone on that day itself 😢 RIP. Best band ever.
I watch this video again and again and again hoping to get out of this depression. Thank you Chester.
Depression is like feeling home sick without having a home to go to.
Yes!!! I sing a song in my head since I was a lil girl.
I sing over & over...I wanna go home, but idk where home is! Thank you! This lil song has been a part of me.😔
Anybody suffering depression knows exactly what he's talking bout
I know I can relate to 100% of what he says!!!!!!!!!!!
I am not sure.. If i am depressed but i can hear myself in his words
Totally true!
nope
If anybody needs to talk... I know i am just a random person on the internet but I like helping and talking to people and I incourage you to talk to people close to you. Nobody can just help themselves with depression. We all need help from somebody else and there is nothing wrong about it
You will always be missed Chester, RIP brother.
🌟Rest in peace Chester, you will live forever in our memories, I remember when playing my drums with your songs, your presence is perceived and I remember you as you were,🙏🎼🌎🙌
_My soul hurts for this man . . ._
Everything he described were the after effects of severe, severe trauma: PTSD, Dissociation, Depression, Depersonalization - I wish we could have helped him.
Abigail T how did he get all those physiological illnesses?
Sonu Kannadan your either born with it or you can get mental illness from taking to many drugs. I have bi polar I have studied it and when there is no1 there no1 to take to its very easy to do what him and Chris did. Listen to the words in there songs, they were screaming for help and the ppl with the money couldn't hear it. It sucks! Mental illness sucks!
If you know anybody with mental illness take time and make plans to hang out with them call for no reason, it's letting that person know at least someone cares.
Bipolar and severe anxiety is what I have been living with my whole life. I have had this exact same conversation with my wife of 23 years. To this day, she has a hard time getting her head around it. People who are lucky enough to be normal don't see it the same way no matter how you try to explain. This guy interviewing had no idea what he is hearing. At no fault to him it's hard for people not going through it to understand. I fight every minute of every day not to end up this way, and always wonder if it will beat me eventually. Some days your stronger than others, ya know?
im bi-polar to. totally understand
It hurts especially when you know exactly what he is talking about.
Sara Jane i love you and hug you from Germany 😊❤
Sara Jane I wish you find your internal peace.
Sara Jane people are always so quick to judge others. But yet they never know of the demons we fend off.
I know your feeling. Im 18. I've been bullied like 3 years. Beaten up in bathrooms, and much more things that i don't want to talk about them. I have depression like 5 years, i wanted to die too. So people who read this. Don't bully the others. A lot of people have problems. Rip Chester. You are my biggest inspiration. I became through depression because of you. love you guys.
Jakub Kulczyk just remember you are not alone bro...we all ve seen the hell,been there,survived..be proud of us..☺..
Some people just don’t understand the inner darkness of people with depression. We have bullies in our lives but for people like us no one is a worse bully then ourselves to the point that our own inner negativity and hopelessness leads us to justify suicide. That’s the scary thing about being in a dark place you don’t realize how bad it is until it’s too late. To all the people who can relate to this message your loved call someone who can help you. God bless
This was such an honest interview………..heartbreaking, but at the same time, makes me love Chester even more.❤
Everyone could have depression. He had a beautiful wife and kids, money, fame, and millions of people who look up to him. Still took away his own life, depression is a real problem.
he was sexually abused at a very early age. he said some where, that his earliest memories are getting molested by an old man, a friend of the family. that is something that you CANNOT shake off easily. money success fame, none of it worked. he was touched by a demon at a very early age. god bless you Chester. R.IP
So why didn't he get professional help?
john, the only pro out there is god honestly, and surrounding yourself with gods people.. i dont know if chester ever went to church.. but i wish he did and he got it..
Keith Grenier it will rob YOU of your life, I KNOW ive been being robbed for 26yrs know !!! Ive sliped up and managed this far Idk how but I need help
Greg Payne Seek help.
Everybody cares when it's too late
Sarah Le that's so true and that's what gets to me knowing it's not a joke anymore after there gone but it was before somehow
Twentyonechemicalpanics ! Yea, those inspirational speeches they give in the movies when someone wants to end it don't aply to real life. In fact, they even try to push you further to the edge as if some primal instinct kicks in and they start seeing you as weak, almost like a "prey"
FlexFlinstonedTM I really feel you ,I try so hard to tell people how I feel and you saying that really helped me to just prove I'm really not alone, I hope one day your mother and brother help you through what ur going through
Twentyonechemicalpanics ! Thank you, that means a lot to know i could help. Stay strong!
@ Sara Le: Yes, they do! It's called ignorance and greed. Not against Chester, but my own experience.
I feel this, being trapped inside your own head can break you down and destroy you, it can take every bit of happiness away and leave you helpless and broken.
I've been battling my own thoughts for 15+ years, and it doesn't get easier. Every day is a struggle..I do it to myself, it's a very tough cycle to break. I hope everyone finds their peace.
Listening to Linkin Park for me is like a bad shroom trip...their songs are so real and raw that they make me really depressed but they also make me feel so validated at the same time. I wish I would have seen them in concert but never got the chance to.
Look at him. He does not look like the extreme depressed person people like to typically paint. I fucking hate that. You can be extremely depressed and function. so many people over look and discredit someone depression because to their standard they seem fine. he was in so much freaking pain and it was over looked my gosh I wish we could have done somehing for him like his music has done for us 😟 Rest in peace you sweet soul.
the masses do not understand mental illness. What he's describing isnt just depression, its anxiety and self-destructive thinking. Ive been there. Its a nightmare. its literally hell. Its so sad, but the problem is so deep and so unthinkably pervasive for so many
Lawrence Of Canadia Me as well . Everyday . Same shit . I try . I change antidepressants. I try to get out of my Jammie's I try but it is horrible . .robin Williams did it. It's not a poor or rich problem. See my own mom diesnt think it's a disease .. she says it's a choice .. and to just be happy
That's the scary part, you learn to live with it. Mask it, hide it and behave as usual. Sitting in a train and having a panicattack, thinking your heart will explode at any moment and still remain "calm". Sitting at a concert, still with that going on but being able to clap to the music. Boy that was a fun night.
Learning to live with it is necessary though i feel, but you have to be open about it and talk about it. Cause if you're stuck alone in your neighbourhood, there's no one that can help you. Put that thumb up, let someone give you a ride out of that place.
Love to anyone going through some shit right now❤️
Mari AB Well said
Mari AB what exactly could WE have done
You can see the depression in his eyes when he's talking. It's so sad
Str8 4ward People do drugs trying to numb something else. Just saying
@Str8 4ward you seem certain about this. Do you know from experience?
Did you know Chester personally? Did someone you love and were dear to suffer in a similar manner?
Either way, i pray you find peace. To remove that anger from your life. 🙏
Mandy Rose I cry every time I watch this
Str8 4ward depression asshole
Deep Dispare
Cried watching this because literally everything he said is the truth. Your own brain can be your worst enemy. 😭😢 R.I.P Chester, you were one great human being! Your music helps so many people!!!!
I did too, i just want to tell you, you aren't alone in this. I hope you can fight and overcome it, and be your true self
my first time watching this, it feels like he asked for help but the other man did not get it, what a waste
Oh god this is heartbreaking. It doesn't matter how many years have passed.
For anyone who watches this and relates like I do, I love you and I hope you stay on your path to finding peace. We can get there
Thank you so much
love you too man , thank you .
Thank you so much, I love you too & am right here with you...

Jesus loves you! I have been where you are....sigh

Prayer going up for you and others now

"I'm in bad company when I'm alone"
I cant be alone for this
@Manic Misanthrope ya but "quaratining" makes things worse..you shouldnt distance yourself from the people you love and people in general bc of a "virus"..people are committing suicide even more bc of this bullshit
I can truly relate to that.
I feel him 100% his explanation of his mental state resonates with me
Rest in peace Chester.
"There's another Chester in there trying to take me down..."
The hardest fights are the ones with yourself
Seems true brother
True
Exactly cause you know all your weaknesses and blind spots.
You will lose your friends but never lose yourself
He is fighting for people and illuminati is after him thats why
That line: "This skull between my ears, that is a bad neighborhood." Hits so hard. And the fact that the interviewer laughed at it, doesn't anger me, it saddens me. The signs and cries for help had been there throughout the years.
R.I.P Chester. You helped so many like myself, through your words and music.
Then the guy calls him crazy. For someone in Chesters situation, that made things a lot worse.
@@royalyinfamous2451 you are so right. That man doesn't understand something like that can hurt so much. His reaction is like an extra drop that makes the bucket overflow.
same thought! i was like :"wow" when he said that
The interviewer clearly doesn't understand what a depression is like, how you feel about things if you're in a depressive state of mind.
I can relate to Chester's words so easily...
I wonder what the interviewer now thinks about that interview
Chester had/has a way of touching all our pain. He is so missed. So very loved and missed. We keep going because we understand that kind of pain.
None of this was ever your fault, Chester. If only all of us could have helped you. We will forever feel your loss. RIP Chester.
Sometimes in life , the only person you CAN'T help is yourself.
Most of the time it’s that way
It happens
Very true especially depression is concerned
with an attitude like that and using absolutes then of course your statement is true 100% of the time. Saying CAN'T allows you to make excuses why things aren't your fault. Start looking in the mirror and pointing your finger at yourself for what you have(n't) done. By saying you can't you are giving yourself permission to stop trying and to give up on yourself. It is so sad that people give up on themselves but those around them talk about how capable they are.
GET THE FUCK OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY..... and allow yourself to make mistakes. But you have to peel yourself off the pavement sometimes and keep fighting for a better moment or 5 minutes or tomorrow. Stop making excuses for why you "can't" because you can. Start respecting yourself and believing that you are worthy. What the fuck is wrong with you that you don't think you are worthy?
800-273-8255 national suicide hotline open 24/7/365 if you need someone to talk to and you don't even need to give them your real name. You don't even need to be in crisis to call. They are willing to talk and listen and help you.
Love yourself to ask for help
Joel Marble this is 100% correct. You CAN always help yourself but you have to want to.
Chester: I’m really broken.
Host: haha! Dude, what?
Chester: I need help
Host: haha! Cool tattoos bro
I know, it's almost like the host was running a show and doing an interview for entertainment and isn't a mental health professional.
eo what are you talking about?
@@PaulMclauchlin Didn't know you need a degree to know what empathy is and how it works.
@@Leaptab My point is that people are blaming the interviewer for not spotting the signs of a suicidal man when most people miss them too. Mental health professionals are trained to spot signs of depression and sometimes they get it wrong. It's tragic that Chester Bennington died, but the interviewer is blameless.
@@PaulMclauchlin i already knew it. I didnt disregarded his suffering. You did
I miss him so much,I have depression and his story has help me so much and his music I truly miss him ❤
My heart will always hurt at the loss of you. I know I’m not alone in that feeling. You will always be missed
It's crazy how we just overlook such CRYSTAL CLEAR evidence of suicidal thoughts from someone when they're alive - and as soon as their demons finally take over despite their loud and clear cries for help we wonder how it came to this point.
Yeah but if he didn't commit suicide, we would note this anyway.
Lia depression is a silent killer and it breaks my heart when people don't receive the help they needed😔
Yes it is sad but it's a cummon situation. You can't or simply won't understand these problems unless they are really dangerous.
Leave Me alone ur loved
Absolutely. I hope this brings more & more awareness to the public. We often turn our cheeks the other way when someone is crying out for help, because we don't believe it's really that "serious", until they finally go through with ending the pain and then we're left here saying..."fuck, we should've done something about it." I don't care how depressed, hopeless or lost you feel, there are people in this world that WILL help you and will help you find your way back up again.
Depression is not a joke is as bad as cancer and is hard to get rid off sometimes you lose yourself in the process
Depression is a horrible thing to live with, but it's complete bullshit to say it "is as bad as cancer."
cancer has no cure
Yes so very true, and most people who have never been there think that a person can just flip it on and off like a light switch. Depression does not work like that
Eduardo Santo How the fuck can it be as bad as cancer? Do you even know what depression is?
FinalKeepss do you know what actual depression is?
I wish I could've given him a hug in that momet,especially when the interviewer laughed, and told him you matter no matter what that voice says and I'll tell you that no matter how many times you need to hear it. All these years later and I can still feel his pain.
Chester is in HEAVEN. People say if you off yourself, you don't get to go to Heaven but I don't believe that for a second. He just wanted peace all the time. Now he finally has it... I will miss him forever.
I respect that interviewer, he didn't realize how serious this interview was in the beginning, but when he did.. he kept silent and didn't laugh
Yesss agree. People pointing out the host are wrong. It is not his fault.
@@cemo3292 Beyond every dark night there is a brighter day bro
The interviewer check nothing. It's so bad.
@@cemo3292 Hopefully not. The world is better for you being in it.
Cemo not only your family loves you, your friends and maybe people, who you doesnt know.. God loves you and you dont know how good your life is gonna be, if you cancel the fight with your deamons. Accept the deamons and let they saying, what they want.. in the end you will get the point, that life is good, no matter how bad you feel sometimes and that it was worth it.. every breath and second in your life to going on!!!! Just never forget, that nothing could beat your heart. And maybe with fighting against your deamons and going on with your absolutely precious life, you'll change the world for somebody, who needs you more than all things in his world!!! Please let your heart win
Love!!!!
Sad part is... their are a lot of people that feel just like him
there*
When you can’t run from the pain, it chases you into places that no normal person can ever see or understand! It can be so bad at times, your mind won’t stop replaying the trauma, the guilt, the shame, the people not wanting to be in this part of your life , only the good and what they can benefit from it! Took me 2 1/2 years to finally understand that I can’t change any of what happened to me. My children suffered greatly and I can’t take that back. But the kicker is even when you think you have come to grips with your demons, those mean little bastards won’t leave you alone! I’m like Chester, I have to be outside of myself because “ in there is a bad place to be! I understand the man perfectly and I struggle with my sanity every single day. And “ In the end it doesn’t even matter!” RIP
Me
life!
Including me
You were never alone. RIP Chester. You and Chris Cornell are looking down on us. You both are missed every day. ❤
"There's another chester in there who wants to take me down" Damn..
Isak Eriksson I know. I connected so hard with him at that moment.
you'll know what he means if youre also depressed.
that is why most people with depression say it sucks. it is you, yourself who is dragging you down.
RIP my idol...
RIP Chester 😭
Isak Eriksson it reminds me all too much of the music video for heavy. ffffuck
Kleidus So true, so, so true. And to make it worse, it is a complete different monster for everyone.
You are your own worst critic...
Such sad and tired eyes.
Such a beautiful and pure soul.
You are so missed, legend.
Two bottles were found in his house. There were cycles he couldn't break : (
"Sigh" We lost a legend #RipChester
Alyona Romaniuk true
People see people who have committed suicide and say stuff like this. Like they were never happy and constantly suffering. Its not true. Depressed people still laugh, and smile, and feel happiness. Chester looks great here, because he probably was. He sounds very optimistic, and i can tell hes not faking it by his facial expressions.
We have good days and bad days. This looks like a good day, im sure of it
So sad. Chester was such an amazing talent, I so wish he was able to find that inner peace he was searching for.
You are a legend and missed and loved by so many. No one wants to see the darkness. I'm sorry you were there so often. I know very well what you are speaking on here. RIP 🙏🏻
"There is another Chester in there. He wants to take me down." Please everyone. Hear that. This is probably the most personally strong messaged video I've ever witnessed.. I'm heartbroken for the Chester that was defeated.. He was trying, so hard, as a father, husband, and man. But that other Chester defeated him, just one time. That's all it takes. Go give someone a hug. You never know how bad they need it..
I know right. I’m trying to spread awareness about mental health and we all never know what someone goin thru
i get no hugs. yea I actually realised that lm all alone here in a big city. no one actually cares. I dont have another me in my head but instead i have a black guy without a face and a Cape with a weapon and this mans tall fr. well im fuqqed up
@@suprimemiray6285 ?
@@suprimemiray6285 what
Male mental health needs more attention. The 4x male suicide rate is evidence of that.
The thing with depression is that you are not sad all the time. When you are with people, you can laugh and have a great time, but the thing is that you come down even harder. Just because you can't see it, doesnt mean it isnt there, but all we as people can do is too help people to talk about it. So many people go around with all these crazy thought and you dont want people to share your burden, because "everyone got their own problems to deal with", but that is so much the wrong way to think. Speak out, because people are willing to listen and understand. Rest in peace Chester, you beautiful man.
M J absolutely the saddest people have the biggest smiles in front of people
M J What you said is very real and true.
M J So relatable
This made me ball my eyes out……..cos I know EXACTLY what he’s talking about!😥💔 R.I.P. Chester😇
👊
Chester says that his head is a bad place to be, and that he shouldn't be alone, and the guy laughs. you can see the pain in Chester's eyes during this, he must have felt so abandoned and ignored like millions of other men struggling with depression. mens mental health isn't taken seriously, and it's a real shame. we'll miss you Chester
Yeah, sure. Why not just go to a good therapist? He could have afforded the best! No, he was a whinny little B that thought he gets help in an interview! LOL
Wrong. No one cares about men. At all. In fact in 2023 you’re bad just for being born a man.
Come on , what should he do?call the ambulance?, we re talking about tallented, wealthy, artyst, father, friend, with a Group of therapists and medical support.
I don't feel angry about the host laughing. It's what we do to difuse the tension. For the people who are fine and see somebody struggling, one of the things they try to help is just a simple laugh. Also, for him, it might've seen incomprehensible when somebody who seemingly has everything says that he feels lost in his own mind that is a bad neighbourhood.
They guy isn’t a therapist…he’s a radio interviewer. We don’t know if anything was said after the camera and mics went silent. People rarely see suicide coming. It’s a disaster
*"This place between my ears, is a bad neighbourhood. I should not be there alone.."*
Kinda foreshadows how unfortunately he was there alone
I cant believe i heard someone explain the same issue i have. And that someone was someone i always listened to. I sure hope this video has raised awareness extremely!
We are all there alone. Fight.
That dude should not be laughing. Chester was venting. Just listen dude. Stop laughing.
Note Chester’s response to that
I honestly feel like this everyday i just wait for the end but my family keeps me here. I couldnt see my son without me and wonder how it would make him feel If i was gone. I couldnt do that to him.
We are now in 2024, but I need to say Rest In Peace Chester…you will ALWAYS be be loved and remembered…🙏🙏❤️❤️🩹💗
Ahh man. Chester, we love and miss you, brother x
End of 2019 who is still crying
Kylian Westbrook me 😭😭😭😭😭

forever.

All LP lyrics became so much darker now...
thats so true... RIP CHESTER..
KRS Movie: So true. I've never listen LP songs as same as i do before. :'( This is so hard to belive and so hard to understand. :'( R.I.P Chester. 💔💔💔 I will always love u and your songs. ❤❤
I havent been able to listen to them since his passing😔
But they were always that dark.
Yiss Dyn its been the complete opposite for me they are all im listening to lately..
To anyone who is thinking about giving up. Don't give up .I haven't I am still here
Thank you for being so honest and sharing your feelings through your words and music. You will never be forgotten ❤
The interviewers laughter is nervousness for not knowing what to say. He probably didn’t expect this conversation to get this heavy.
I'm sure that's the case, I highly doubt it's as if he finds his suffering to be amusing/funny.
I saw lots of comments suggesting the interviewer is insensitive for laughing.
It's as if people never lived and found themselves in awkward or hard conversations. A nervous laughter is such a common thing - I felt like commenting and saying "it's an awkward laughter" will make me the odd one amongst the rest. But I'm glad you said it, because I wouldn't have.
@@NandoGigaba Yeah well said, I feel devastated over Chester's depression and suicide but I understand that a lot of people aren't used to being in touch with such vulnerable emotions that they only thing they can do is shrug and laugh.
Thats what im saying Chester kind of had a smile. The music is making it way more sad.
Nando Gigaba that was so big of you to admit. I’ll admit, I thought the guy was being insensitive at first as I was going through a bad patch too when this all happened. Looking back, he was probably nervous like you say as what to say.
It hurts me that the "other Chester" won...
Edit: Glad I'm not alone :)
Me too
sad but true
Maan right in feels. . .
@@savagerebel7971 I know what you mean. His music saved my life many times but it's sad to think that his life couldn't be saved
It's definitely hurts that the Chester who is battling depression and suicidal won. His songs have definitely helped a lot of people through problems in their life. If only he could have been saved.
I got help after 35 years of dealing with PTSD I was tired of carrying the fucking burden myself. I was tired of being the one that felt the weight. I was so tired of not asking or bothering anyone with my hell! I wanted to feel weightless and not carry the shit. I needed to feel good again like I did last when I was 11 years old, now 47 and I chipped away at myself until I decided I was tired of feeling like I deserved to feel like shit. Life is so much better when you get the help you need.
Rest in peace Chester 😞😭
The way depression works cannot be explained by a "man up" kind of solution. That is like telling an Alzheimer's patient to start remembering stuff or telling a cancer patient to stop spreading tumors everywhere. Rational thought is pushed away by the overwhelming sadness one feels. Intellectually you understand that you will hurt others by killing yourself but the self destructive thoughts are like a second person has taken over your body. There is no room in your head for self preservation. One side of yourself literally cares too much about everything and everyone to the point that you can cry for the suffering of strangers you will never know. While the other side cares for nothing and feels nothing to the point that it seems ok to just do everyone the favor of getting rid of the burden that you are to those who love you. The feeling of being suicidal becomes the crazy logic that if you are gone, your loved ones will not have to put up with your drama, problems, sadness and self destructive behavior anymore. They will be better off without you. A healthy person knows this is not true. Chester knew this and wrote a song about this called HEAVY. Some of us find a way to get through those crazy thoughts and come out the other side , and some just get the courage to end the pain in the worst way. RIP Chester. See you at that crazy concert on the other side...
one of the best explanations for depression and just an explanation in general I've ever heard
NUNUR BZNEZ you explained it ! Thank you!
NUNUR BZNEZ Alzheimer's is mentally degenerative linked to age. Are you saying that depression is a degenerative brain condition?
Miss you Chester
I've been listening to this band for over a decade. Chester's cry for help has been on numerous albums. Way before "Heavy". I listened to "Crawling" so much bc I could relate to it so much years ago. I'm so heartbroken that you ended it this way. I wish there could've been help for you.
“There’s another Chester in there that wants to take you down” I know what he means
Yeah. The fact that I know what he's talking about scares me
I think a lot of people know what he means by that and that's why so many people found an escape with his music. Including me, I still listen to his music because it helps me escape.
😧😧💔🔫
Mine motivates me, helps me out when time's not right...🤗
Right there with you bud
I have cried to this video so many times, its so sad that Chester understood what he was going through but couldn't find a way out. I too have a hard time with life and watching this made me realise how much i get caught up in my own head. From the outside you can have it all, family, money, cars and even fame but still struggle just like the man with a few dollars in his pocket. If you are struggleing right now, talk to someone, a friend, family, councellor or even a stranger. Sharing our problems may not completley cure them but I promise it will help.
Such a genuinely sweet guy and so full of sorrow and confusion, he is hopefully at peace now, he couldn't take any more of this crazy world.😢
At 1:23 its really eerie how he points to his head and says "This is a bad neighbourhood, I should not be in here by myself" and the guy laughs and says "what are you talking about".
TheDudecof maybe you have to have been in the same situation as him to be able to get him
TheDudecof | Its not really the dj's fault..
I hate the fact the interviewer laughs when he's trying to tell him something serious :/
TheDudecof well, yeah.. it was very obvious the entire interview.. He was not ok! He was feeling bad😣 And nobody notice,not evem that guy
Anybody else get the chills while watching this?
Rex collins nope
yes :(
Yes very bad chills
It's because his spirit is still with us
Rex collins
I'm near tears
R.I.P Chester.
I Always Come Back Here; When I'm Lost....🖤🖤🖤
He was clearly crying out for help😢
Daisy Ramtahal and yet it seems like no one helped him
All of his music seemed like a cry for help
He really does explain depression very well without just saying "im depressed", i pray that you have now found peace now Chester 💔
Richard Alvarez someone please destroy that comment for me. I don't have the energy in me to point out the stupidity in what this guy just said quite enough.
This is so sad knowing how things ended for him 😢. He had so much talent but most of all he seems to of had a loving kind soul.❤
I’m 15 and as a little kid I grew up hearing in the end alot, and I remember my mom having a specific shirt memorializing his passing. Only recently did I give their songs a better listening and learned about his death properly. It’s so unfortunate because he seemed like a genuine kind soul and he truly deserved better :( this interview alone is enough to make my eyes water and I’m in class…wherever he is, I hope he can rest and find proper peace ❤️
Shit dude; someone finally put it into words perfectly. He just said in 6 minutes what I've been trying to explain for the past 6 years to different doctors and psychologist. RIP :c
ChemicalSkeleton hey can we please talk? I guess email or social media. Please don't feel alone. For what it's worth, I'd like to be a supportive friend to you.
ChemicalSkeleton hey! Just wanna let you know that you're a beautiful person! Be happy always!
Hiya. Thank you for reaching out, it's really sweet. I'm ok for the record, or at least I will be eventually.
ChemicalSkeleton heyy !! know you're not alone :( if you ever need someone to talk to with no fear of judging, I'll be here. I've had a mental illness (anorexia) before (but thank God I'm delivered) so I will definitely be able to relate to you in some way !! just yeah 😂😂😂😂
If you need to talk; to be vulnerable to have someone listen support and not judge you can talk to me
