I came for Markiplier. These other people I don't know about but Markiplier is my idol. He's like the dad I never had. When my own birth father was always drunk when I visited, Markiplier and his videos was my escape from reality.

@MrBiggyfoot69 4 жыл бұрын

Asked once. Hearing those words from in the video would be like someone in a Royal family asking that. Imagine a Queen going to you, specifically _you_ out of anyone she could have spoken to but chose you and asking you if you are ok, how your day was, are you having a good time, are you having trouble with anything. I just ended up blanking out.

@dragonfire7965 4 жыл бұрын

This is great. When I was struggling with depression, even people I wasn’t best friends with showing support in little ways meant a hell of a lot to me. From personal experience, it’s so so much better to have an awkward moment and a friend know you’re there for them than a perfectly normal conversation while they feel alone.

Although short this commercial makes me tear up everytime. I suffer from bpd and bipolar and I often wish I had friends to talk to. Most of my friends don't bother with me unless theres something they want. Also I'm here for anyone who ever wants to talk 💖

I forgotten to mention that I've not ever seen this commercial before and saw it this morning and it was awesome 👍 because I unfortunately have this problem and been suffering for years and thank you all for your support (the ones in the commercial) and trying to be more social with my coworkers and everyone else that I meet with

@dakotamoonhornak9518 6 жыл бұрын

I’ve been mentally ill for my whole life, starting with OCD and anxiety then gaining all different types of depression and food issues and so much more. Yesterday, I was talking to my friend and we were talking about mental health and I admitted to someone for the first time that I’d been mentally ill for so long and that I’ve wanted to end my life before. She filled the awkward silence and I got to finally admit this. This is the most real and impressive mental health ads I’ve seen. Thank you

@Trashfire_Nee 6 жыл бұрын

This is amazing, and i love it. As someone who struggles with mental health issues and has for most of my life, i just want to add that if you do tell someone that you want to help/are there to talk, reach out more than once, start that conversation more than just once. Because i found it felt more like people were doing what was expected of them and when it was never brought up again, i felt like i couldn't reach out because they didn't really care. When someone is struggling it can be really hard to reach out, and that continues even after someone says they want to help. But if the conversation is there more often it gives the person struggling more opportunities to talk about it without feeling like an imposition, and hopefully wont worry as much about the person they're talking to not caring. (but also please don't harass your friends/family, say it often enough but it doesn't need to be said every day)
