I just posted a very emotional video
Added 2018-09-11 01:38:17 +0000 UTCHey guys,
I just wanted to let you know that today in recognition of World Suicide Prevention Day I decided to tell my emotional story of my battles with depression and the suicide attempts I've made throughout life. If you know someone that needs to see they are not alone please point them to this video. It's not monteized and I don't benefit from the video beyond helping people in need.
This video is probably going to open me up to all kinds of attack since I pretty much show all my vulnerabilities in the video but I felt it necessary to do it so people could see the truth and not just another person talking about a distant experience. I would appreciate your feedback on the video if you watch it.
Suicide effects us all from the people we love leaving us early and it's preventable with the right people paying attention and the right messages out there showing people they are not broken but rather are just acting on impulses that one has when they feel cornered and that there is no other way out. I hope this video just helps a single person.
I want to thank all of you Patrons for all your support and I promise the next video uploaded to the channel tomorrow will be VR related and we'll start back with the technology, 3d printing and educational content. But after reading so many tweets today from people struggling with depression and having a spotlight on the topic today it was the perfect time for me to share my story to reach as many people are humanly possible and that to me was more important than making a funny VR video so I changed gears.
I'll see you all tomorrow on Morning Coffee! Sorry I couldn't do it today, I woke up too late after going to bed at 5am because yesterday I had 8 shots of espresso and was wired beyond belief. I'll try to get back on schedule tonight so I'm not yawning through the show tomorrow.
Love you all,
Jerry (Barnacules)
