GRIEF CAN BREAK YOU... | Keep in Mind 

I think I figured out the demon who won’t speak. That is the demon of isolation/silence and/or loneliness. “Every time you remained silent. Every time you refused someone’s help. It’s killing you [Jonas]. Open up. Trust someone. ...Please.” At least, that’s my theory.

Mediocre my ass! The voices you did were fantastic, Mark!

That ending monologue of the last "demon" had a lot of really armor-piercing questions and statements, but the moment Mark voiced out the words "You need to forgive yourself," I could physically feel my chest lighten, breathing freely as if it was restricted before (and maybe it was). I don't know if I will ever stop absolutely loathing myself but this game truly gave me a new perspective on how to deal with it. Man, it's been over 30 minutes since I finished the video but my chest still feels as warm as it did since listening to the ending parts of this game. This is absolutely beautiful.

That last guy he met before going through the doors, I like him.

When I heard Markiplier's voice say "You need to forgive yourself" I burst into tears.

Damn Markiplier. You should do some voice acting. I WANT TO SEE YOU IN SOMETHING!

12:40 *"YOU HAVE LEFT ME A MANGLED WRETCH. YOU DO NOT DESERVE TO LEAVE THIS PLACE"* 12:47 "Yo whatup, I'm hopelessness."

me: finefinefinefinefinefinefine end: shows the cuddling me: cries

Mark could be a voice actor, for a monster or demon.

when this hits a little too close to home

17:48 in that moment, Mark's facial expression to that sentence shows me that he is really playing while filming, and has no previous knowledge of the plot. That was genuine realization on the spot.

I have PTSD and I was starting to tense up and get nervous about whether or not I should be watching this.... I stuck through it and the end was so heart warming :) it surprised me I was expecting it to end badly

So, if anyone's not getting it, this gentleman Jonas, when he was a child, was left by his mother to look after his little brother. He left the room the little brother was in for a brief moment, the kid climbed onto something and fell off, more than likely cracked his head wide open, and died. The mother must have committed suicide later on, and Jonas feels like everything bad that happened was his fault, and wouldn't let himself lead a happy life, drowning his emotions in alcohol and porn and sabotaging his marriage. This went on until the events of this game. It's like a dark, awful version of inside out.

I guess that makes the brother.... Jonas' Brother.

I haven’t felt this lightened feeling in my chest in almost 5 years... I haven’t felt emotions. I’m a bit late to the party, but that ending left me thinking,”I need to take care of my thoughts- they love me, but they haven’t seen the light for a while.” I would write something more emotional, but it’s late and I need to take care of myself.

every single time I watch this video, I get chills when the small monster pauses and says, “...this one looks tall enough.” at 5:13.

you know they way they are it reminds me of this saying "In times of darkness your Demons are the ones who comfort you"

Christ, the feels hit hard. Also the noises scared the shit outta me.

“Grief can break you” Mentally not physically, you break yourself

No one: Not a single soul Not even wolf worm: Mark: *10 APPSELS*

mark, I found your channel in the hospital after a suicide attempt a year and a half ago... you have helped me through more recent tough times, and your channel, along with a couple others, have kept me from attempting suicide again... thank you mark... without you I may not have made it this far in life... and may still be attempting to kill myself...

Mark: *reads sign that says "danger"* Mark: "yeah I'll go there" *walks in*

"You Need to Forgive Yourself." ...It took 16 years, but I did. I was a kid. There wasn't anything I could have done to stop him from drinking himself to death. You're an idiot, Dad. I still love you, and I'm still pissed at you, but I'm doing better now. I'm not going to make the same mistakes you did.

"I want to live inside you! Like a tapeworm! You could pull, I'd never leave you." Venom (2018)

Markiplier and Cryaotic should be voice actors

This game is disturbing and beautiful. It also is realistic in a way. It shows us the emotions of grief and not everyone goes through all of these. It's disturbing because almost all demons have something disgusting about them or say something horrifying. This game is realistic because people have a emotional struggle during grief and they suffer many negative emotions, but we can at least have hope and try at the last stage of grief. You guys may think something else, but this is what I think of the game

wife: “every night you drink until you can’t sleep.” me: *notices the bottles on the husbands side of the bed*

When I was growing up, my dad was an alcoholic. My mom didn’t like that and fought with him on many occasions. It ended up in a divorce. I loved my dad a bit more than my mom, so I was crushed when I had to stay with her. My dad ended up sending a letter one day that he was joining the Navy. When he came back from the Kittyhawk, my mom ended up getting back together with him. After they made up, he quit drinking and we were a happy family afterwards

It's hard to believe that the one person in the entire world we are the cruelest to exists within us, and we don't realize it until we begin to collapse. I love this game so much because it personifies our subconscious self and gives us a new perspective on our own emotional onslaught. Thank you for playing this, Mark.

But you don’t realize though, those voices you’ve tried so hard to block, will scream more and more loudly, until your ears bleed. So keep covering your ears jonas. Because one day Jonas, you might sink so deep, that you will never hear anything again.”

6:53 WHEN DID THIS MAN BECOME A PROFESSIONAL VOICE ACTOR

My mom didn't sign the permission slip for me to go on the feels trip... but seriously, this sends a great message. I used to have a mindset like this when thought it was my fault that my baby sister died of a brain tumor, and it almost drove me to suicide, but now that I'm over my depression, I feel a lot better. Honestly, Mark's videos helped me through, the way he always sends positive messages and how hes always in a good mood no matter what the situation. I thonk I speak for everyone when I say, Thanks again Mark, and keep doin what you do.

Mark: “We’ve entered the-“ Me (yelling): “THE MINDSCAPE!” Mark: “Antiworld” Me: “Oh stupid me.”

"That phantom in the mirror, who calls himself you, has been keeping you from the truth with his vicious lies"

God this community is amazing everyone is there for each other strangers helping strangers gives me hope for people

Who else thinks mark could be an amazing narrator

How is this man so good at voice acting...? Damn. Even if he did...use the same voice probably 3 times or more?...He voiced them pretty damn well. Am I speaking english? Probably not. XD Alright, bye. (Seriously,Mark is AMAZING at voicing characters)

When a story can end positive when it focuses mainly on the negative... that’s good writing.

mark has the best voices

Wow. Was not expecting to be in tears after watching this. Great message.

Mark's unique voices for each character fit *perfectly* and he needs to become a voice actor

All these emotional comments and I'm going "That demon looks like the true 'final boss' of OFF."

I can see mark as a voice actor. Who's with me?

anybody else getting that "off" vibe?

Me: *watching Mark's update on YTs problem* Also me: *sees this in recommendations and immediately clicks it.* "well then...apparently it's from 2016????"

Who else started crying when the last 'monster' told Joans to forgive himself

For anyone wondering, no spoilers, but there are no jumpscares.

Jack and Mark both get so into their voice acting, and it makes everything so much more real and sincere

Holy shit, I remember this feeling all too well. In the past six years, I've endured two highly abusive relationships, which left me with several heavy burdens to bear afterward. It was harder with the second relationship, because he was the love of my life. My soulmate. And don't say he wasn't my soulmate if he was abusive. You don't know how deeply connected I was to him. Maybe it wasn't genuine on his side, but for me it was the realest thing I've ever felt. And the day I finally left him something in me died and ceased to exist. The three years following were the longest years of my life. I had lost him, myself, and all hope. And like I said, there were certain burdens I had to bear as a result, burdens that I will not mention here. He destroyed me. He ruined me. I had become an empty shell of a person. I went numb inside. And with all of the depression and PTSD, I was going to kill myself and wound up in the psych ward. It didn't help. I still wanted to die. I learned to reject therapy because as far as I was concerned, it did more harm than good. I was beyond help. I went through five different therapists in one year without an inch of progress. I was stuck. Lost. Broken. I grieved over my former self. I was angry at the world and bitter. I began wishing horrible things on people I used to love dearly. Healing didn't seem possible. I was too far gone. Then one day, my life suddenly began to turn around. In the course of 12 months, I obtained a steady source of income, health insurance, bought my very own car, and then lastly signed for my own house! For the first time in a long time I felt happy again. I was moving forward with my life. And I found the past traumas I endured fading into the distance. I was starting to forget. I didn't feel hurt anymore. I felt strong. The memory of those two relationships no longer controlled my mind. I was free. And I felt alive. Moral of the story, as cliched as it sounds, things CAN get better. They really really can. I've been at rock bottom, I know what it's like. It doesn't all turn around overnight, it takes a lot of time sometimes to overcome your past. But no matter how impossible it appears, you never know what the future holds. I had as much doubt as you do. I did not believe in anything. But it's when you least expect it that you will find your life starting to transform. I'm not going to tell you to never lose hope because that's not always how it works. I understand it's not always that simple. Holding on when you don't see anything to hold onto is incredibly difficult. But I can tell you from personal experience that this pain will not last forever. If you don't believe me right now that's okay. I just wanted to plant that seed in your brain so that when the time is right, it will start to bloom, and you'll be on your way to living a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling life.

"DANGER" *yeah* *ill* *go* *there*

Hey there, to all the people down in the comments that are feeling down after watching this; You're all so strong, and brave. And I know sometimes you want to give up, and it's just too much. You don't wanna try, who would even care if you did try, right? Everything feels like a chore, or everything is so scary, or nothing is going how it should or how you want it to. But that's okay. It's okay that you feel like that. It's terrible that you feel that way, but please remember that it's okay to be depressed, or anxious, or have voices in your head or whatever you're dealing with. They don't mean you're broken, or there's something wrong with you. Don't hate yourself for it, don't shun yourself for it. It's who you are at the time being, and that's okay. Because you're going to get better, with each step you force yourself to take towards the light. You can't control it, but you can help yourself get better. You can't control how hard it hits you, when, or where, but you can control how you handle it, and what you do to help yourself. There are people out there that are so proud seeing how well you're doing, whether they're strangers, friends, or family. You've got people behind you and supporting you, and although you may not see it, there are. I know these aren't beautiful words of wisdom like Marks, but I want everyone to remember that things will get better if you want them to, you will reach the light at the end of the tunnel. And when you do, you'll feel the wind gently brushing against you, the sun warming your skin, and you'll find yourself smiling, like you mean it each day. There are people out there to support you; Friends, family, hell, I'm here too if you'd like. There are wonderful people in Marks community that are there for you too, you just have to find them. So keep strong, keep pushing yourself, strive to get better, and you'll be okay.

Dear Mark, i didnt know which video to put this on but i decided to do the most recent cause i really wanted you to see this. When the nights are darker than ever before and sadness is in the air, nothing can fix it better than a smile! you are the smile that fills our hearts! you give us the gift of laughter and happiness. This is a poem for you Mark. You never know when life gets you down. So much sorrow, In it you could drown! A light is always there. A savior from above, With him, help and care. Number of supporters, he doesnt seem to need. A smile, Yes a smile, Is all he needs. Day afyer day, he is never late! Less and less people seem to hate. Just one more, That more is me, To add allong to the people who see. I love you Mark. We all do! 💖

I've come back to this video almost every year, it's one of my favorites. I can't help but feel sadness and happiness going through the video, I don't even care how many times I've watched this, it doesn't get old.

Whomever is reading this. I love you, thoughts can kill you and it's so hard to get past them. I love you. Others love you and if you haven't learned already, love yourself. You are beautiful no matter what. Grip onto whatever hope you have and make it through your worst days to meet your best. ❤

God _DAMN_ MARK- You're amazing with these voices holy hell-

To who ever needs to hear it. You are going to be okay, stay strong, I know its tiring but keep going, you can do it.

You know you are really good at voice acting when you don’t realize it’s not the characters actually talking.

I wore ear buds. That SCP-682 roar killed me.

"You killed your brother, your mother, your marriage..." Fair enough game, but you killed my ears (fellow headphone users).

IM NOT CRYING! ..... I'm sobbing

I’ve been through this in the past, but I think I ended up... killing them rather than giving them the light they deserved. I don’t see them now. I wish I still do. Everything started from colorful and fluctuated to monochrome, but now... I don’t think I can see them. They haven’t returned to their colorful, peaceful selves. They’re just grey. Neutral. Unmoving. You’d need to shove them until they fall and bleed. Only then would they move, but even so, it’s like they aren’t there. When I look, they aren’t there. I wish the time where I can finally see them again would come.

“He can’t see you if you can’t see him” Think he was talking about Jonas’ (or whatever his name is) reflection

"We loved you once... A-and we still do!" 😢

How to react to the ending in 2 steps: Step 1: Go in corner and sit in a ball. Step 2: Cry your eyes out.

Can I just say Mark has the best villain voice, like WHAT?!

5 years... 5 years this video has stuck in my head, I loved it then, I still love it now. Sadly it has gotten more reliable these past few years even before covid, and I'm taking the path to make things right, like he said, I'll show them the light once more. Thank you mark for everything you have done.

This has to be one of my favorite videos that Mark has ever made.

Mark Should've been the voice actors

I love the message this gives. We need to face our thoughts especially the dark and scary ones. And, if we can, treat those voices with kindness. After all, they are only there to try to help us even if they don't do it well. One of the biggest breakthroughs I've had in overcoming my trauma is talking to those voices like I would a small child who is just scared and confused. I listen to what they have to say and I comfort them and reassure them that everything will be alright instead of trying to push them away.

*where have i come from* *where did i go* Me: WHERE DID I COME FROM COTTEN EYE JOE! ;-;

The message of this game is so important, and the way it's handled here is magnificent. This is one of my favorite games/experience. And also, on a sidenote, damn Mark!! Your voices are on-point!! It just added to this :D

I swear I heard a little bit of Darkiplier in this video.. 😉😏

I always come back to this accidentally when I'm doing the worst, I really need to let my feelings out

Friend: Why can't you ask for help? Me: *remembers the incident* I tried

**Mark is Grossed out and yet he still goes near them**

This kind of guilt, suffering. Is worse than death itself.

"Chaos chaos chaos." Jevil: *I CAN DO ANYTHING, WHOOP WHOOP, , CHAOS CHAOS*

this has been and always would be my favorite video. you have been my favorite RU-vidr since 2013, and a great support after I got depressed. you did such a good job voice acting every character and expressed their emotion so perfectly that this lets play has became my must-watch video during anxiety struck/depression. how much you love games, your pets and your loved ones always gives me hope and put a smile on my face(even when my illness gets real bad) thank you.

As Someone who had every aspect of their life tainted by grief for 7 straight years, this game is as true as they come

*lies down* *tries not to cry* *cries alot*

I've watched this video probibly 5 or so times through out the years, and I have to say it hits hard in the same ways every singel time. No bordom, no desire to skip any second, no absant-mindedness. Only clinging onto every word and picture, hoping we can all beat our own inner demons. When was the last time you got restful sleep, or had a plesant dream? For me, it's been months, and before that, years. Just waking up every day, groaning. Hoping this next night's sleep will be the start of something new. I'm tired. Are you tired?

This game has a good message, I've felt the same once, but not addicted.

Who else thinks mark should do voice acting

pain is temporary, but quitting lasts forever

“GRIEF CAN BREAK YOU” mentally not physically

Man, this hit wayyy too close to home. I've been grieving lots and lots these past few months as I've lost so much so many things that were parts of me are gone, consumed by the grief all aspects of it. But yknow what they say, there is always light at the end of a dark tunnel, so ive been trying to get through it and apart of that is the addiction and drowning everything out. This game explains it so perfectly, its honestly kinda scary, but beautiful.

“you need to forgive yourself” me: hahahhahahaahhahaahhaha *incoherent sobbing*

this. this is what grief is like, what depression is like. never before have I found a description as apt as this.

Maybe someone already commented this but I like how it doesn’t portray all the “inner demons” as evil, but parts of himself that Jonas wants to help, not get rid of. I guess the game makes a good point in establishing this idea, as things like guilt are apart of your conscience, and things like hope/hopelessness are apart of yourself. Also that bit when Hopelessness was talking made my heart stop for an instant, especially when it said “this should be high enough.” The realization that came with that was just- wow

The scene with the mirror... that was more of a look into my mind than I was ready for. Religious and sexual trauma split my brain and gave me the curse of changing my personality, demeanor and mannerisms to suit an aspect of my life. Some are more developed than others and my psychiatrist originally tried diagnosing it as DID, but couldn't pin down triggers, nor did I have any loss of time outside of basic disassociation. But that scene... every voice in my head started to laugh... before waiting, as if they wanted me to figure out how to heal more than I already have... this video came out 2 years ago, and I avoided watching it, I dont know what spurred me to watch it, only that it allowed me to look at the shattered porcelain that I am, and begin to piece myself together again. Thank you Mark, may your life be long and prosperous

This game has a very powerful message, and one that I really needed to hear right now. Something that really struck me though was when the 16 thoughts were surrounding Jonas, they were simply explaining themselves, or pleaded Jonas to help them, yet The Mirror said that they hated him. *This was The Mirror's lie.* But you could only figure it out after you confront each thought and try to understand what it's telling you.

Guys - pretty big news today, Keep in Mind has been remastered and will be coming to Steam and mobile on March 8th! All publisher profits will be donated to the charity Child's Play!

As someone who dealt with a lot in their life. I needed this. Hell, I might have to watch this whenever I do feel suffocated again. Sometimes grief can last for years, and return if there were traumas along the way.

The dialogue was already so deep and all, but Markiplier perfectly voicing it made it so much better and added an extra ounce of meaningfulness into it.

I love the different unique voices he does for all the creatures

I feel like these are all mental illnesses: insomnia, paranoia, depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, etc

i always come back to this video. i've got different things i still blame myself for, things that i know were even more beyond my control than the death of jonas's brother was for jonas, but i still need it from time to time. a reminder to visit myself, and care, and love even the parts of me that are hurting. they're still me, after all; just like the game says.

I really really like the last guy. He was so sweet and gentle. I appreciate that the game had that in the end rather than a bigger monster
