I really appreciate you guys taking this time out to watching it 86,400 seconds a day and I’m truly blessed that you want to spend your time watching my nine minute short film thank you from the bottom of my heart… If this is touched you in anyway please forward it to a friend share it and that would mean the world to me that’s all I ask! ❤️ u all good night
This hits a lot harder now than it did a year ago. I hope all of you guys stopping by today take care of yourselves. And if you find yourself in a rough spot, you reach out for a helping hand no matter from who or where.
@@maxxstealer1 The sad thing is that we don't realize these things until the people who give us these hints are long gone. I just wish we caught on before the unfortunate happened... I'm still processing, in a bit of denial. Just taking it one day at a time.
@@maxthegladiator I noticed how suicide was not one of the illnesses he was able to kill in this video.. as of to say it was still out lurking somewhere.
This was a broken man who showed all of us early signs I'm sad he's no longer with us I wish he could've gotten the help he needed may he rest in piece with all the other childhood heroes we've lost 😢
"Every day, I grow weaker Tired of being a happiness seeker Try to cry but don't have a speaker. " I know what you went through, Jason You were and still my hero I miss you. RIP JDF
He was telling us all along.... he was crying out for help but we just looked at it as entertainment. This is the world we live in... in an artistic way he was telling the world he has mental health issues. But the world just looks at his poems as entertaining..while he was actually crying out for help.. RIP to my childhood hero..you brought light to my life when nobody believed in me. You were there as Tommy but it was you Jason David Frank. Tommy was you. 💔 love you man. Rest in power
So if we got by this video he made; he was saying theres multiple sides to him; narcissist (tbf most people in HW are you kinda gotta be as celeb chef/writer Anthony Bourdain (who also took his life) once said), ADD, Anxiety, Bipolar, Depression, Sadist, MPD, Addict, and lastly.....Suicidal. and he tried to bury them all and move forward but the one in the missing seat came back. Sad. It reminds me of when my friend took her life. We kept searching for answers; people to blame, etc. Then my friend (who used to date her) told me just flat out its a sickness. She was sick. Almost like nothing you can do. Like something you just have like a disability. If you look at it that way its still sad but it helps a little. Certainly, if he had ADD, Anxiety, Bipolar, MPD, narcissistic tendencies, addiction, depression, etc; then thats a mountain heap of mental issues that can lead to potential suicide especially if you're messing with possible substance abuse on top of it and on top of that, dealing with traumatic experiences like losing loved ones. Makes a lot more sense now. He was fighting all his life. And learning martial arts helped him to fight it but it wasnt enough. Not even fame, fans, and loving family is enough as we can see from other celeb examples (Judd, Bourdain, Cornell, Williams, Bennington, JDF, etc) Its really a sickness that ends up defying logic.
Not all , there's a lot of his fans that didn't know what was going on behind closed doors and when I met him I had soo many questions but he didn't know me or it wasn't the right time to ask him something personal , I did send him positive messages though on all his platforms and in person I told him he made my day and I was happy and proud of him 😔💚🙏
I don't think most of us that saw this thought it was purely entertainment. But what exactly were we going to do? That's the thing about the parasocial relationship, you start thinking that you have a right to a celebrity's personal life, their feelings, like you have some measure of responsibility to them. Thing is, the fans adored him and dog everything they could to make him feel loved, but there was literally nothing we could have done to help him. We didn't have access to his demons, and we couldn't solve his problems. Telling people that they took his cries for help as entertainment is just trying to lay guilt at the feet of strangers. It's meaningless. He's gone, and we remain, along with they memories he left behind. There's no point second-guessing what we never could have done, just sit back and take in the legacy he left behind.
Army vet here.. i wanted to do this for years…. This hurt me to much! Im thinking about you daily bro 😔 I got ptsd and feel like this alot.. drinking doesn’t help and i wish i could just sit down and talk to you bro. Thanks for making my childhood better. Ill be missing you 🐲 LEGEND
Came here immediately after finding out about his untimely demise. I'm in awe at what a marvelous and creative soul he was. RIP JDF. Greatest Ranger ever. 💚
This was well put together good job JDF did about all his emotions but now he his gone may his spirit live on RIP dear friend and formal power ranger take care and God bless you are missed.😢💔
That empty seat means so much more now. I'm so sorry Jason, I feel we failed you, someway if anyone reached out to you in your final moments maybe things would be so much different. We could have another amazing stunning video like this! 💚💚💚💚
I suffer depression. Sometimes you’re just tired of fighting, feels like youre in a dream and you just want to wake up. You have everything you need but you’re still not happy. Jason, just know you were a role model to me and everyone else who looked up to you. You were the best and amazing, you’ve done so much good. Rest in peace, once a ranger, always a ranger.
As someone who suffers from bipolar depression with anxiety and adhd tendencies this is exactly how my head works. Exactly like a group circle, it is heartbreaking to know somebody felt this exact way but they were unable to be saved. They wore a smile and loved their fans so much and gave us their 100,000,000% To us and it’s alarming how many times they gave us the clues but we just couldn’t believe it to see it. RIP
Having been born in 98, I didn't grow up watching the original Power Rangers. I never got to see Jason in action until I watched Dino Thunder, and never knew Tommy's backstory until I saw "Legacy of Power." I went and found the original show and binged the entire series up to Dino Thunder. Jason was, is, and shall remain the greatest ranger in history. Rest In Power
I don't know who will still see this now but we all miss him so much and we were so blessed to have him do this for us! If someone is still checking on these pages and on these videos, please ask some other cast members and friends to help create a biography book for him for all his fans and for all the souls he touched, and so the good memories can be shared! Thank you JDF and thank you whoever's still out there! Thank you for everything! Rest well Green Ranger!
R.I.P My hero from my childhood, Mr. Green Ranger, Mr. White ranger, Mr. Red Ranger, Mr. Black Ranger. You will always be in my heart forever & ever! Thank You! Jason David Frank,A.K.A... Tommy Oliver
Man 😞, in some ways this was telling. Imo this art form of a short film was a reflection of his inner demons. There’s that saying that we create Art through pain. I’m still hurt from his passing and I think about this guy one of my childhood hero more often than I did when he was alive. RIP 🙏
My heart is torn up right now...and this... _hurts_ ...like nothing I've ever heard. And what hurts me the most? When he says this: See that empty seat It was always me and him It's bittersweet Sometimes I would just duck my head and hide and give myself a disguise but today I'm saying goodbye Fortunately He couldn't make it His name was Suicide The thing is, the one that didn't make it in this short film...made it to the final night of Jason's life. And in Jason's darkest hour, he was more convincing than any other voice. And as a result...my childhood hero...your childhood hero...is...gone... I will forever be heartbroken, because if only Jason had mustered the will to fight...to keep fighting...if only he had known these words, and had someone to bear the burden with, maybe he would still be here: "Walk this valley of death, head high Say: I'll be back, today I won't die 'Cause try as we may we can never deny We can get back up if we're still alive!" ~ Lyrics, Jee Veerey by Bloodywood (an Indian folk metal band) If there is one last lesson our childhood hero teaches us, it is the same as when we first met him: That only when we have the courage to try, is redemption possible. Because only when we dig the deepest, do we discover that our well of strength is much deeper than we think. Because all it takes...is will. But we must also not just focus on ourselves, we must be self-aware enough to know that what we go through, others do as well -- and in that moment, realize that one person, one friend, can help another win their battle against the dark. To save the life of another, who may think they are lost in the dark...who may think they are alone. When the fact is, no person is ever alone. None of us have ever been alone. And all it takes to turn the corner, and to keep going, is knowing at least one person has our back. I just hope beyond hope that Jason's message gets out to as many people as possible, because we lose too many to the dark. And one life lost is too much. Lastly, if you are struggling with depression, I beg of you: Please get help! Your life is worth living! And whether or not you know it, there are people who care about you, for if no other, know that I care. Because I know your struggles. And if I can come back from the brink, then know that you can too. You just have to be willing to try.
🙏🏻praying for you and your family today. This shows how hard you fought and wanted to succeed. This is a form of art and more people should see this because so many can relate. RIP Jason.
Even heroes have their hidden battles. Ever since I first saw you on-screen as Tommy Oliver back in MMPR, I've seen you as a hero, and yet somehow knew you shared the same struggles as the rest of us. And with these poems and videos, showing that I was right even back then... it's humbling in a way I can't properly describe. Thank you for being you, JDF, and thank you for being such an inspiration. I can't wait to see LOTWD.
Yeah... I cried for a literal three hours. Saying I was devastated is an understatement. But a silver lining to this is that I got to see him in person when he was in North Dakota last month. And to be honest, I attempted a bit of humor to try to ease the pain a little. Said attempt is this: I guess Thuy needed some backup to protect the Morphing Grid, so who better to call than the best Ranger to ever live?
@@Gochen86 😖😖😖😖 same pal once a ranger always a ranger✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻 i think his movie of the white ranger is still comming iknow im goin to cry on that i never got to meet him thas sucks🙁😔😔😖😖
You can’t be serious………. I’ve just now watched this video and now and it’s like his farewell video! He was fighting for so long and committed a video expressing his pain but it still didn’t help him overcome it, that empty chair is chilling to see now😢
[Tuesday. Dec 27, 2022] I'm actually crying tears as I'm typing this: I suffer from depression too. Severe. Clinical. I was diagnosed with it at age 4. And I could tell you exactly when and why. But I'll keep that between us. I feel your earthly presence missing and it's hurts. Almost as much as feeling it for the very first ...but if I... ...ever have the chance... I'LL PUT TIME IN REVERSE (just for you...) To receive what you've ALWAYS deserved.) You were one of my (very)(few) childhood idols growing up...and now you're gone....and this sucks. But I love you, man. And I'll always miss you. So THANK YOU, big bro! Until we meet again. Stay Green, White Ranger
This was TRULY a peek into the inner workings of JDF. Crazy how this was released 2 days before Shayla left this world and even more surreal that this was a year and 2 days before our beloved JDF made his exit as well. I still can't believe it. Don't want to. My hero from childhood to this very day, may GOD rest your beautiful soul in EVERY WAY.
It is curious that this was right before Shayla's suicide, however it's not that shocking that killed himself the same day his daughter did. It's pretty common among people mourning a suicide to do theirs on the anniversary. Jason should have been on suicide watch the entire day, not traveling around arguing with his b**** wife. I personally feel she could be responsible for both.
I still dont know what she died of but its crazy her child was only 5 months old and she had made n Instagram post celebrating having him considering it was a miracle that she was able to since just three years prior she barely survived a gunshot wound to the stomach. And then there's the whole other story about JDF's first wife and the psychological battles she went through with drug, alcohol addiction and suicidal tendencies as explained by her daughter Skye. Now she, (Shayna Frank) is 50 and in a nursing home due to suffering from a stroke, paralyzed on one side of her body after getting into a fight with her spouse 4 years ago. Not to mention what Skye said she went through growing up in CA. Dont know much about JDF's sons though..
JDF, you were such an inspiration to us all for so many years. Helping me as I'm sure so many others through battles against our demons. You were motivation and a familiar friend to lean on and listen to to get us through dark times. I'm sorry your demons became too powerful for you to battle off any longer. You fought long, and shouldered so much for all of us, your fans, and your family. Rest peacefully forever.
JDF, you inspired the love. whatever's happening now, you can see from a above. whatever goes on with the band, you always gave a helping hand. once a ranger... always a ranger. RIP Jason David Frank.
This is Jason showing what goes on in his head and the demons he has to deal with fighting them. It's a visualization of the type of mental issues we have like anxiety, anger, and how we have to fight it so they dont have control over us.
You are sorely missed JDF. My husband, our 5 daughters, and I are still struggling with the idea of moving forward as an MMPR family without looking forward to more interactions with you as our guiding ranger. We hope you're resting well. You've done well and left nothing but love in our hearts.
Mannn! Who would have thought I would be here looking at this on the day after your passing. Smh! Rest is power to a true legend!!! We will miss you JDF!!
This is extremely moving. I had thoughts of my possible mental health issues. Almost everything JDF described in this video. I'm not diagnosed with anything because I'm terrified of seeking help. I'm terrified what they'll do to me. I just want to live my life with my family as a normal person or at least near normal life. I'm scared that I'm getting worse by the year. This is also moving because of the news that just broke out about JDF. R.I.P
I promise you, help can come in many forms and isn’t as condemning as you may think. Every day is a battle, but being open and honest with yourself, more so than just with your friends and family, is liberating from personal experience. I became free back in April of this year after 18 months of therapy. Take care of yourself. You matter.
Please don't hesitate to ask for help start off with God the man above first if you are a believer? and then after that seek help in many ways that it can be offered especially the 988 number.
I’ve fractured before mentally to the point I felt no value or worth and that date was 3/17/16- but yet I’m still alive and here. To be honest finding the RIGHT HELP is the hardest fucken thing. A therapist/psychiatrist that can JUST GET YOU and hear you. Not pushing pills or punishing you for mistakes of what was written or said to make you look like the bad person- when someone pushed you over the end and that bully got away scotch free… it took awhile after having shitty government insurance and the only Psychological help I could was from a facility that specializes in abuse and drug abuse. With this doctor having a “sick” infatuation if I was sexually abused by anyone and badly wanted the details. He was a male doctor. And I had nothing like that. Didn’t believe me I had ADD also and gave me a stimulant ADD medication that just messed me up more…hate that place and how the doctor office lied on documentation for me to get this medication that didn’t sit right with me. Prior before that two times people thought I should have gone to an institute bc I couldn’t stop crying over how I got backstab and bullied at that previous job. But I had a few people who help prove I was of sound mind- but my emotions were out of wack and having a pet in my life again- gave me some “normalcy” as I slowly put myself back together piece by piece. I even got a cat to help. I know have a boyfriend who loves and helps me through my tough days- but has helped me improve soo much with the right psychiatrist and at his urging to better help myself. So don’t be scared. If you got a logical thinking mind and know that something’s not right- you’re taking the first times. It’s finding the RIGHT PEOPLE who will HELP YOU and aim for you to get better- to the point you can enjoy your life more often. I’m 36yrs old female and still breathing. You can do it too!!
Like everyone has said, this hits harder today. Rest In Peace JDF. Thank you for being a hero to so many of us 90s kids. It’s up to us now to shine your light on others.
watching this after what happened to you jason, i'm so so sorry. if anyone deserved better it was you my friend. you'll always be my childhood hero. rest in peace❤
Thanks for being so passionate about being a Ranger and always treating us fans like family, always being the light that shines in our hearts, thank you Jason David Frank, your Ranger spirit will carry on forever in us.
Man JDF is so creative. This is so deep. I really wish he was still here. I’ll always hurt by the loss of this man. He meant so much to me and so many people.
Watching this for the first time after JDF took his life is absolutely heart breaking 💔 😢 R.I.P Jason. I wish you would have been able to find the peace you were looking for before you made such a permanent decision over temporary feelings.
R.I.P. to my hero. Words can’t even do justice for the way he changed my life and millions like me forever. I just wish he knew what he did for us all. God bless him we love you JDF you’re gone, but your legacy will never die
Dear JDF you were the greatest of Rangers and an even better human being but most of all you were my role model since i was a young teen, you gave me someone to look up to and you were the type of man that i strived to be an because of you an who you were i learnt that it didnt matter what other people thought and that it was ok to be me an autistic father of 2 who loves video games and collecting toys and figurines and watching The Power Rangers even still at my old age but most of all that i could be anything or anyone i wanted to be. Thankyou Jason David Frank i hope you can R.I.P now Green Ranger and i will never forget you an who you were and everything you strived to be, but the one thing i wish is that just like in your short film "In my Head" I wish that suicide didnt show up this time so that you would still be here. You will be very missed Green Ranger more then you will ever know but most of all you will be never forgotten you will always be a Legend Just like The White Dragon.... "May the power protect you in heaven Green Ranger"
You know, i was never a die-hard green ranger fan or power rangers fan to begin with when I was a kid and hearing about his death wasn't too traumatic for me as I felt not close to him but it still felt somber for him and in the past few months I've been looking into JDFs old stuff lately here and on instagram(didnt even know he had a YT channels lol ) and im just so touched by his past content, his admiration of his fans, his poetry writing(another thing i didnt know he did) and other hobbies and his MMA career.... and he had so much left to give back to the world ,so much potential to still be a positive influence to millions. It's funny I talk about him like i know him.. it is possible to miss a person even though youve never met them ? Its weird i guess but i dont care if it sounds wierd ..and some weird small part of me wishes I couldve met him he seemed like a down to earth guy, easy to talk to, like your friend that's always there to listen. im also a sucker for poetry lol I Needless to say, im sure he had his shortcomings or inner demons but who doesn't? It's evident here in this video that he wasn't just battling depression but other mental illnesses maybe ? But I would've still admired &loved him flaws and all .. this celebrity death alongside Chester bennington of Linkin Park will forever leave an everlasting brokenness inside me. 💔 Im not as poetic with words here to describe my sadness about personal loss lol not compared to Jason David Frank at least so bare with me. I just wish i was there for you fan or not just to be there, a shoulder to cry on ... im so tired of life and my internal struggles too ,JDF im so sorry ..
So many people have these same issues. It’s truly art the way you were able to put this together Jason. Thank you for touching on this subject. A subject that people are afraid to even mention to their closest loved ones. You’re forever missed 🕊️🤍
This video takes on a brand new meaning now! JDF was using a creative outlet to inform us on what his inner turmoil was, & sadly, we didn't acknowledge the signs... especially how he described suicide!! WOW😢
I am just now seeing this… and it is heart wrenching! Am I the only one who feels this was his Suicide Note? His final goodbye everyone? I can’t be the only one!
This what goes on in everyones head. This just amazing and serious a lot of people think like this and just cant get it out but this was just wow. Thank you for sharing this and it going to help everyone understand there labels, vice and ego's
Watching this now, left me totally speechless and emotionless. This guy wasn't just a childhood hero on the screen, but off screen as well. I'm glad I got to meet you man. I hope you've re-united in peace with your family up there.
Only ppl that know this feeling exactly it's like he's speaking to you directly or about you! I felt this in my heart and soul , I'm soo sorry for you brother JDF , I'm sorry you were going through such battles 😩💔🙏🕊️ I miss you and I'm grateful I was finally able to meet you in person just a few years ago , your gone but not forgotten 🌅💚🌟
What is left of this world when all of its hero’s are gone? This man was a true gift. Thank you for everything Jason. You will always will be an inspiration and will forever be missed. Rest your spirit my friend. Love you
It hurts so much to watch this now. Pure, literal pain. I'm going to miss him so much, he was my first hero, the first to make me understand what a hero was. Absolute legend.
"Dedicated to Jason David Frank and everyone who is and has battled with mental health and the darkness of this world" In darkness we dwell and seether in pain We didn’t create this hell, but it’s where we remain Following a light that shines through these depths Hoping salvation is the prize that we get For every victory we achieve, add two more loses to the books It’s almost as if relief is just bait that’s on a hook A vacation from pain is a ticket to addiction We must learn to deal with this burden or live our lives in a fiction The lies we tell ourselves to get through the day May just be the bullet that takes one of us away An honest assessment is where we all must start Pay no attention to the voices in your head; you must listen to your heart You can make it out, there is always a way But for those that have lost their battle, there is one thing that I must say I understand your pain, and I feel your despair Rest easy brave soldier, God has you, and he was always there
I can feel that. I also wrote a poem. I called it Mental Hell and in fact, I made a video of me reciting it and it's on my channel. Funny enough, when I wrote it, I felt like I was hearing Jason's voice in my head. It was either him or my imaginations messing with me but resulted in a poem that screams my mental struggle that can't just be described in a simple sentence or paragraph.
The sad thing about this video is that he was warning everybody of exactly what was in his head and now a year later that seat that was supposed to be filled yeah that dude that couldn't make it was him. I'm so sorry nobody listened to you JDF, BUT IT IS MY HOPE IN MY HEART THAT I WILL SEE YOU AGAIN IN HEAVEN! AMEN! SO MANY WILL MISS YOU BUD AND SO WILL I! 😢💔💪✝️
The knowledge of Christ as Lord is like a mystical armor. It protects you from commiting sin, but also it protects you from the death of the soul after life. As you live and learn, you can improve the armor. If your armor is near perfect, you may never sin again. But even if your Armor is damaged, and you are wounded, and you commit sin in a terrible fashion that costs your own life, I believe that armor still protects you from the death of the soul. We will see JDF again.
This was made a year ago…. Now I’m wondering if this was he way of asking for help…. This man was my hero. I hope he’s at peace now with GOD and HIS angels
Not even the first time he made something like this. Mental Prison was made 3 years ago: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iWzDz-zWUdU.html
I was not able to see this one before. But now, it very much hits home. It is very chilling. This man was a hero to a lot of people, both on screen and in life. Everyone needs a hero. Where was his hero in his most desperate hour of need?
This is such a powerful short film, I can connect with Anxiety and depression JDF speaks in this, it’s a very real battle for many people who go through it day to day. I have massive respect for JDF raising awareness for mental health in such a meaningful passionate way. The man was a true hero and a legend. His legacy will live on forever rest in piece Jason you are so missed!
Muchas gracias, Sr JDF muchas gracias por sus palabras, su corazón, el legado y la gran voluntad que dejaste en este mundo siempre vivirá en el corazón de todos de los que de verdad te conocieron y aprendieron de todas tus enseñanzas. GRACIAS ETERNAS 🙇🏻♂️
JDF I met you at power Morphicon in 2018. That was the best year for me because it was 1st time I went to all three major conventions... Comic con, wonder con and Power Morphicon. You were so cool and hand a photo opp with the other space rangers and had you're own special booth becuz well you're the BEST! You are and will always be an inspiration for us kids growing up back in the 90s and you will continue to inspire Future generations . Thank you for the small chat and cool vibes you had. I won't forge that. RIP JDF. Once a ranger always a ranger!
Yeah this really hits alot harder now. Its been about a week and my mind still refuses to believe that this man has passed. JDF you were my hero as a kid when you were Tommy. Cried when you left as the green ranger. Excited when you came back as the White Ranger. And bummed out when you left turbo. Didnt watch any more PR til you came back as the black ranger. You truly were my hero even to this day. You will certainly be missed by everyone who loves you whether its friends, family or the fans. You have been an inspiration to a limitless amount of people. Right now I bet Tommy is sitting next to Trini talking about the good ol days while Ernie is serving them whatever they want at the ol Juicebar in the sky. Rest In Power
