fuck I've got goosebumps

“You are not alone” the most overrated saying I’ve ever heard

My mom just told me she wish she never gave birth to me for the fourth time in two years. I’m only 15 and I don’t wanna hear this stuff anymore, I can’t even talk to my friends about it. You don’t know how many people you’ve saved with this video but you saved me as well so thank you

person trying to help: the world isn’t going anywhere, don’t worry. gen z: actually-

This is great, I hope this helps people. Well done Will.

Love this

"Life is always worth it" That is subjective.

"You've never felt this way before"... I sure have. Been feeling this way for about 3 years and everyday for the last 5 months. I sincerely hope that others find their way through though

Thank you. I really needed to hear this.

he really loves her, doesnt he

" nothing lasts forever" so neither does happiness

All over TikTok I’ve seen this “trend” where people film themselves like I guess crying or something and they say reasons they will keep going and won’t disappear. I’m just sitting here like ‘yall have reasons?’ Tbh I don’t think anyone would even notice if I was here or not

One year ago, i wanted to kill myself, i told myself it gets better and this year it did, my life is all about the things he talked about in the video. Life is beautiful.

Met your channel today and I'm in love

Sometimes there are just no good reasons when the pain is just too much and becomes unbearable

1. This isn’t the first time. I’ve always felt this way. 2. It doesn’t get any better either. It hasn’t for the past 14 years. I’m not 14 years old, to be clear, I’m much older. 3. My medical/psychiatric testing would say otherwise. 4. I won’t do or have any of those things because I will probably be gone in a few years. I didn’t choose to be born into this life, but I have a choice to leave.

Stay alive, stay alive for me.

Today was a bad day but this video helped me to change my mind, tomorrow is a new day, thanks will 💛

I'm not depressed or anything but I still find this video beautiful

Things absolutely can get worse. I thought I was at my worse and wanted to die a few years back, but the pain is even worse now.

Yes, romanticise getting better and not the illness!

This video is so precious to me. It's helped me through a lot and I always find my way back here from time to time.

What keeps me alive? People who are close to me. When I think about how difficult it might be for them....I will decide to stay another day.

I have been in a depressive episode for what seems like my whole life. I feel trapped in a box, with only just enough air to stay alive, but just barely. Your video changed my perspective on things and put off my plans for overdose for another day. Thank you, stranger, you just saved my life.

Thank you.

"you'll be able to look at a view from a high place and not assess the likelihood of dying from falling."

I’ve just haven’t really been feeling myself..I’m depressed and I feel like I won’t never become anything, but I’ll try my best to overcome this situation and live my life

this makes me realize that depression really doesn't have an age cause here was 12 year old me watching reasons to stay alive.

I am 13 years old and I have been depressed since my 12th birthday. Yes, young kids can also suffer from depression. I have tried committing suicide but, I'm still alive today. I am still depressed. And people think that just because you are a bright and happy, laughing bubbley person, it doesn't mean that you can't be depressed. A person can be depressed but just cover it up with layers of sunshine and daises. But I watched this video, and I cried for an hour. I can't believe somebody actually said this. And I am so grateful. Thank you so much Will. You have helped me a lot. Not just with this video, but with many others.

I've been suffering with depression for a few years, and with my 18th birthday coming up I know I'm going to spend it alone and just away from the world. I'm struggling real hard and have no one to talk to, my family dont understand how a teenager can struggle with depression and want to end their life. So your videos really help, your videos are like the only thing i have to turn to, they make me feel a little less alone

About an hour and a half ago I had a suicide attempt, I’ve been dealing with suicidal thoughts about 2 or 3 times a week for the past month, and man I needed to here this. I’ve been dealing with the consequences of my actions, I haven’t told anyone or called the hospital and all though I didn’t actually severely cut my flesh I still held that knife in my hands about to do it. Sometimes it’s difficult to believe the stuff this video tells me, but I have to at least try because I don’t ever want to be in a place like that again. So thank you, you may not have saved my life but you’ve put me further on the path of at least accepting it.

This is beautiful, proud that I’m 21 days clean from self harming.

These are absolutely all of the things I told myself every time I wanted to kill myself..3 and a half years have passed since I was hospitalized and since I have had any thoughts of wanting to die. 2016 has been without a doubt the best year of my life, and to anyone reading this wanting to die right now, it DOES get better, I'm living proof.

ever since Will uploaded this video to this day i keep coming back to it every once in a while when i'm not in a good place mentally and it helps me everytime.

The worlds a cruel place and I’m glad I get to leave it behind. Hopefully sooner than later.

The yt recommended guy has my back 😔✊

"Pain is a debt that is paid off with time" - wow!!!!

"...And have sex" damn lol I wasn't expecting that, why am I like twelve years old

The only was IS up. Then down is an option again. And even if I don’t choose it I still end up there

This made me smile after crying til I have a headache

"pain is a debt paid off with time." it can be so difficult for me to remember this when I feel like I'm stuck in a black hole and can't get out but its true, it does eventually get better with time

I always watch this whenever I feel sad

I don't know what to say I still feel depressed I still feel alone

The fact I had to watch this to stay alive is what hurts

What a lovely video, worm. Loved it.

This made me cry x

And when you experience happiness, everything goes back.

I’m only staying alive so I won’t make my mom sad. But I don’t want to anymore. It’s so painful to exist.

'Pain is a debt paid off with time' 💖💖✨✨

"You will one day experience joy that matches this pain"

I dont feel like everything will get worse i feel like it will always stay the same a constant meaningless walk through life

Tears are rushing down my face

I've never bought a book so fast in my life

I actually shed tears because of this? Thank you.

Day 1 of my daily dose of this video

Staying alive is still the worst decision I ever made.

I feel like Will just makes the best most meaningful videos

:)

My heart ached everyday for years.. i cant take it anymore

The pain never goes away though. They are gone and there’s nothing I can do. I have to push for other people when I want to push for myself too. The future is the dread that haunts me when my most vulnerable times are. How will the nest day be? What about the next week? Next year? The only thing known is the past. And the past is that they’re gone, with no way of making it right again.

thank you; I feel a slight feeling of happiness

Everything seems pointless

i was horribly depressed and watching this video is what helped me stay alive and now i’m nearly entirely recovered 💛

This video always plays in my mind when I am close to..ending everything And then with a long debate inside my head I stop. I hope you know that this video keeps me live. I keep telling myself, “oh but think about all the new song that u have yet to hear” or just simply becoming a therapist, who will someday help people grow out through the pain that I too have faced.

Stay Alive |-/

I've been having a really awful time for the past few months. I'm recovering from being cheated and lied to. I'm recovering from popping pills for 2 years. School is stressing me out. I lost my job, and I'm struggling to find a new one. I just moved to a new area away from my friends within the past few months.Spring is usually when my depression reaches its worst. Overall, I've been extremely down. This video feels like a blessing. The past four days have been the absolute worst for me so far, and suddenly this video pops up in my notifications. I am crying because I feel like the timing of seeing this is so perfect. Thank you, Will for creating this. And thank you Matt, for writing it. This is really so uplifting.

I still come back to this video, years later. I can't help but cry--all happy tears. Incredible job Will.

Now i’ve finally realized that nothing could save me anymore. I used to watched this videos from 5 years ago and find hope. None of these things even make me happy anymore. I just want to end it all now.

Amazing. I adore this.

it was going so well until you mentioned sex, this made me even more depressed lol

This video saved me, recently.

1: That others (might) understand your problems does not make them easier. 2: When you have suicidal thoughts you are not at your lowest possible point. You can still drop to the point of suicide. I'd be willing to believe that every person who commited suicide was first in the "suicidal thoughts" stage and got worse. 3: Appeal to rationality might work. 4: That the pain won't last is basically the hope of many suicidal people. 5: That one is actually a pretty good reason. As long as you believe in it. A reason I might add is the guilt trip. For some the only reason to stay is that other people would be upset if they wouldn't. It's not a nice reason and hearing it might make you feel worse, but those points aren't all that uplifting anyways.

This is so uplifting!

goddamit will I fucking love u

I’ve watched this video so many times, some times I drunkenly shout at it bc it lies and other times it makes me feel better. Come back here a lot...

I am able to tell these things to someone going through similar or worse things than I am, to try and allow them to live a life greater than they believe is possible. But how come when I tell myself these things I don’t believe them. I believe in them whenever I’m trying to help someone else, but I can’t seem to accept it when ever I try and tell myself these things. The only thing I’ve found in this world that ever seem to make me happy is when I help someone else be happy. But why should I be alive when I can’t even do that properly. I’ve been thinking about this for around 6 months now and I think I’m ready to just call it quits and just end my life here, but something seems to always stop me and I can’t actually bring myself to do it. Most likely no one will even read this comment but I just really needed to vent, if anyone is reading this, your life will get better. The things he says in this video are true and life is beautiful, you can only go up from here and I believe in you. I’ve tried climbing out of rock bottom enough times that I’ve just given up. It’s either stay here, clinging onto hope that things will get better only to get disappointed and end up right back at the bottom or just end my life here. I believe in you people who are probably going through worse than I am, you *WILL* make it through this and live a life worth living. I love you all... good luck

pain is debt paid off with time... woah, this was amazing

WOW ok I like this a lot

the pain won't last forever when you have had it for more than 16 years I am pretty sure it is here to stay....

They say the pain wont last. But the worst feeling that I Had for 3 years had been growing up and getting worst and worst. Then I dont know when will i found my joy?

willy d videos are life. willy d videos are love.

This made me cry... Moving.

So this video just came up on my recommended, and I really needed to see it, but wanting to kill myself was not the lowest point for me, I got to that point and it just got worse, I got burnt out and started failing my course, I started to get worse physically, getting random aches and pains, and now I don't really feel anything anymore. You were right about it not getting worse than wanting to kill yourself, but my want to do it just keeps growing and it's so hard to keep finding reasons not to end it right now. I feel like I just keep delaying the inevitable, what if I never get better, what if this effort to keep going ends up just being a waste, I don't even see a future for myself anymore and I am so scared of that. Thank you for this video, thank you for one more reason to keep going. And to everyone else struggling with something like this, I haven't found mine yet but I promise you have so many reasons to keep going, I believe in every single one of you, and I am so proud that you have kept going, have an amazing day

I always go back to this whenever I overthink.Puts me right back. Thanks for this, you don't know how many times I've thought of ending feelings I don't wanna feel.

This is so inspiring without being too cheesy. Great job mate!

I get such a Lemony Snicket vibe from your videos, like the way he narrates the movie; either that or I'm going insane. Most likely the latter.

I'm not depressed, but this video still made me feel much better.

pain is also a debt that builds over time :(

I really need this right now. thank you.

i watched this video twice already and i'm just shedding tears right now

I’ve always found that the reasons people offer for living aren’t even enough to get someone out of bed in the morning, let alone enduring the hardships of a lifetime.

Life is meaningless. It gets meaning from our goals and desires, "I want to get rich." or, "I want to save people." or, "I want to be with her/him." That, in my opinion, is what gives life meaning. But, what if you don't have any desire? what if you can't find any meaning to all of it? Will it really get better? Will I really find something? So far it hasn't gotten any better. It feels like the hole in my chess for something is only getting bigger, sometimes I really feel like suffocating from my tight chest. I have found one desire and that is to disappear from it all. And I wonder when I'll actually go through with that desire.

I revisit this video, every so often. It helps.

i fell in love with the graphics as well as the meaning. as someone who suffers from depression, this was extremely uplifting. thank you xx

How tf you manage to make me more depressed

woke up from self induced heart pain from a years of eating junk food while being diabetics on a Sunday because I am scared of the pain of "unaliving" myself. on sunday afternoon watching this type of videos. Life is fun. :)

Put me in tears, I'm shaking, I've recommended it to all my friends. Thank you💙💙💙

I was going through depression and this helped me out a lot 😭

Thinking about ending it tonight. Wish something could help. Nothing ever does.
