MIZKIF RESPONDS TO RECKFUL DEATH (very emotional) 

I personally didn't watch Reckful that much, but hearing he committed suicide pains me deeply

I cant believe Miz saw the body before anyone else...I can relate to seeing a loved one dying/dead in front of you. Its always the what ifs man...i hope he stays strong

He was so open on his streams and he felt like a friend because he shared EVERYTHING. Related and empathized with the guy and watched him since early hearthstone days. First time I cried over someone I have never met, ever. I miss you Byron

As a survivor of depression and failed suicide ,pls to anyone that has suicidal thoughts and depression, talk to someone, dont keep it all to yourself...

Reckful was the kind of person that if you felt alone and you watched his stream you felt like you belonged somewhere. He was so kind and unique we shall miss you R.I.P

Damn, his brother commited suicide when he was younger too.

I just didnt like what they did to XQC, his chat was spamming for him to react to it, not understanding that alot of people grief but don't show it so pls don't spam for your streamers to react to a death

RIP. shoutouts to everyone struggling out there. shit is rough. bipolar here. do your best, love your people.

What's insane was I randomly thought about him just Monday. So I looked him up and I watched a bunch of videos of him talking about his new game. He seemed so happy and excited about his game. You never know what people are going thru behind the smile. Rip.

I remember watching Dr K's Interview with reckful and I related to him a lot. So sad to see this happen to him. Rest In Peace Reckful.

I feel Mizkif's pain 100%, I lost my girlfriend 5/8/20 when she last her battle to depression and took abused her sleeping meds and ended up dying in her sleep..... The pain, feeling and shock of waking up next to your dead girlfriend will never leave me head, we tried so much to make her happy and help her out but the depression was just too much..... Please always check on your friends and family, you need to remind them that they MEAN something to alot of people...... RIP Ash

Honestly, when someone is overly happy with major depressive disorder, it's never good. You have to watch these people more than anyone else because 9/10 they are happy cause they know that they're about to leave this world. They have a plan and know the time is right and because of this, they are the happiest they've ever been. It's like you just found out about a surprise trip to paradise, you couldn't be happier.

When someone suicidal seem happy, its most likely because they're ready to go... Im speaking from experience.

I don’t watch reckful really, but I watched his Japan streams on RU-vid and watched every single one of them. Throughout it all I’ve just loved the way he interacted with strangers and other people. The friends he made along the journey was one of the best things to watch develop. And although I didnt watch him often especially now, I can’t help but cry and be so sad. Especially seeing the people that I do watch daily react to his death and break down, it’s really painful.

No more suffering... R.i.p.. Love you Byron... Thank you Mizkif ... Love you... And thank you for setting it straight when you didn't have to.. Take care of yourself.. My heart goes out to Byron's family... Change must start here..

What he said about how everything will return to normal in a few days is so sad because you know it's true. RipReck

I know so many people say this but 2020 is truly a horrible year

The fact that Reckful was happy on the last few days of his life meaning that he was accepting his fate and his illness. That is a common emotion that people with depression and suicidal thoughts have when they reach their final decision. When the thought of being dead out weight everything else is very hard to bring people back from it. The amount of pill and drug they need to take to get out of that mindset is monumental. Let this be a reminder that when your friend is openly talking about depression and suicidal or even you know about them hiding it, the sign of them being happy is something you shouldn't take as face value. You always have to think about if that happiness is real or just acceptation of fate. I'm sorry for everyone that effected by Reckful's death and hope people will pay more attention to their loved ones.

I have a friend who attempted suicide and even that got me crying. I can’t imagine what it would be like to lose a close friend to suicide. It sucks. Rip

I'm so, so... so sorry. I'm hurting and I only knew him through a screen for a few years. This just... sucks.

the way mizkif still cracks a joke near the end shows how strong he is as a person trying to make others laugh despite how much he is holding back. Rest in peace Reckful.

Thx for sharing this. It means alot to hear someone close to him talk about it in this way! RIP reckful and we will always remember you!

I feel really bad for reckfuls brother and family, people really treat streamers like trash while they are also human. Rip

I can’t believe this, this doesn’t seem real

cant say i blame him as someone who fights demons everyday if my family wasnt here id be gone already that pain is a long battle we cant win it seems

Rip to the king of rogues and my deepest apologies to ur loss man im sure that he was more amazing in life then hes streams

He was such a genuine person I feel like it's a bad nightmare.... I didn't know him personally but you can see it

I didn’t watch Reckful but after I read everyone’s tweet saying how good of a person and friend he was and how massively he impacted the community made me extremely upset. Rest easy Byron “Reckful” 💜

Thank you for sharing. 💖💖💖

look at that guy Miz man...wow he has such a unique way of speaking. Hats off to you Miz you are a composed man and very humble. Rest in peace Byron.

man, i used to watch the hell out of reckfuls japan streams. when he was there he was always smiling and im gonna regret never really tuning in on the streams, he is in a better place now. RIP RECKFUL he deserved a global emote

They always take the good ones, rip Reckful we already miss you 😔

When he said check on your friends but check on yourself too :(

The thing that’s sucks is people are gonna hear and read others saying reckful was this millionaire,a multi million anything on the line of being wealthy or extremely wealthy they’re gonna say “what did he have to be sad about he had all this money” and when your financially stable money is no longer the root of your problems. Your problems then are about relationships with friends family bfs gfs , how your treated irl and online, your problems are now personal, physiological, and emotional problems that can’t be solve because you have money

something very sad and very confusing about suicidal people is that when they start being happier its most probably be because they have decided that they are going to end it soon, it is possible that he knew he was going to do it and that gave him relief and happiness, very very sad truth... i dont know if this was his case but... it happens...

My grandmother commited suicide 3 years ago and as someone who has gone through something like this, you will always have that feeling of guilt or think stuff like i could have done more or why wasn't i there to stop it. Reckful you were and are an amazing guy and from the bottom of my heart I hope you're at rest now Thank you for having entertained us for years

While I never knew the man, never spent much time watching his streams, I hope he found his peace. I'm not one for solemn speeches, all I can offer is my sincere condolences to his dear friends, his family, and all who knew him. Reckful, I hope that in the end, you were able to escape yourself. Rest in peace.

I have never actually watched Rekful before. Just watching this video alone, still got me very emotional to the point where i started crying. I hope that everyone recovers from the pain that might have happend from loosing someone that you knew very closely. R.I.P.

Reckful was a legend and I wish I could’ve gotten to know him more. Many must realize words can have a huge impact, especially to those who stand alone.

I found videos of reckful on youtube, and he exposed me to twitch and hearthstone, and he was there for me in a time where I felt so alone. Without him I wouldn't know Dr. K, and Dr. K has changed my life. He's had such a positive impact on my life, and I had so much hope for him in the future. This is heartbreaking. We love you Byron; rest in peace

As someone who has been diagnosed with severe depression (I’m okay now) I knew suicide wasn’t a good option and that I could get better but when you’re in that state you feel so shit that you feel like it’s the only option left to make you feel better. It sucks but the pain from depression is unimaginable, it can even be physical but the emotional pain I had while depressed is something I can never fully explain. It’s horrible. I’m so glad I’m not depressed anymore but I have my lows and I still get panic attacks. But you can always get better. May he rest in peace ❤️.

Man, Reckful's been a big name the last like 10 years or so, i started wow in vanilla and i remember his name cause i used to watch swifty and athene back in 09-2013ish. I never really followed him, but i have seen him featured in other's media quite a bit. I too have struggled with depression since my teen years, and seeing someone like me, coming from the same games i played as well. It's really sad and i was actually really upset upon hearing the news. I want to also comment to show my support and send my condolences to fans of his who see this. RIP Byron "Reckful" Bernstein

i never ever met him nor talked with him, but I feel like I lost a best friend from my childhood, Depression is no joke and a silent killer. RIP bro :( :(

I watched him from the beginning. Felt like I knew him. RIP in peace, Reckful you are missed and loved.

It hurts seeing a twitch idol die because he impacted many lives and seeing him gone pains me and others. Rip to reckful and you’re gonna be alright, keep your chin up

Sucks when you try to imagine the things that were going through his head in his last moments. Rip Byron

27:07 powerful message.. at the end of the day, all you really have is yourself 🥺 learn how to depend on *you.* LOVE *you.* Enjoy spending time with *you.* I’ve done a lot of work on myself over the last eight or so years. After my last toxic relationship.. I moved 2,000 miles away from everything I knew. At the time, I didn’t trust myself. I always jumped into a new relationship within WEEKS of a breakup. Knew I couldn’t stay away from my ex.. or a previous ex.. or a completely new person. I knew it. So I forced it on myself. Told myself I’ll give it one full year of being completely single. No hookups, flirting, relationships.. _nothing._ Well.. ended up loving being alone so much that one year turned to five. Now I’ve been single for eight years and I’m my own best friend. Now my issues is forcing myself to be social 😂 which is so crazy because I absolutely DESPISED being alone. Now I fkn love it. I notice that the only times I ever fall into a really deep depression is when I depend on others too much.. and they let me down. It crushes me. But not for long! Not enough to take my life. You know why? Cause I know *I* got me. I know there’s always someone who will never let me down.. that I can always depend on. And that’s *me.* People suck man. People will hurt you, let you down, break your heart. You gotta learn how to lean on yourself and depend on _you._ Great advice my guy ♥️ the whole “check on your friends” thing is great. But really.. if they’re gonna do it, they’re gonna do it. You can’t stop it. Can’t help someone who isn’t gonna help their self 🥺

Rest in peace:(

As someone who has been through depression, and suicide attempts, please, don’t be afraid to talk out to someone. People care about you more than you think. Rest in Peace, Byron.

R.I.P Reckful 😔✊🏻 2019: Etika 2020: Reckful let’s hope next year no streamer/ youtubers dies

Rest easy Byron, you did so much & will be remembered forever

I've watched this video so many times. Miz is an amazing person. He touched on everything important and still kept it together. Know way I could have done that if my friend died like that. Miz is a real one. RIP Reckful

its an unbelievably mature take to tell the people who told him to kill himself not to feel responsible. for real

Ive had issues overthinking and being trapped in my own head for a long time and watching this is really helps me feel like I'm not alone.

I've just run some AI text generation scripts for my work while watching this. After the video ended, I checked the results and the last generated sentence was "i propose that we celebrate how much the folks in town love you ."

I didn’t know he existed before he died and now that I watch mizkif today and hearing and listening to miz it is so sad to see him cry

Rest in peace Reckful, you‘ll never be forgotten!

A lot of times when someone who seems to be suicidal suddenly appears to be doing much it’s because they have made up their mind and are feeling relief. It’s just something to keep in mind if you’re dealing with someone going through this.

I saw my brother/best friend dead on the floor of our old house. He was stiff, white, cold, had blue lips that were all cracked. That image lives in my head.. he was young. Been a year. Still can't get over it

Man i can't believe this, i'm fucking heart broken, i never even knew i could feel this way with someone i haven't met personally. Byron got me through the hardest of times. I wish i could just give this man a hug.... RIP Byron, you're a legend.

I didn't even know this guy existed till now but I can tell he had a positive effect on so many people. And his brother losing both his siblings is just so fucked. Mental health needs to be focused on more then anything right now.

It's... It's rough when people commit suicide... My great grandfather overdosed on purpose... You eventually get over it mostly but that small feeling of guilt... I'm sorry.. You'll have it forever

i had a friend who i never knew was going through depression. we had a little picnic during one time and there was this sudden urge that i just needed to hug him. it was a feeling that i needed to hug him, nothing else to it, just to hug him out of nowhere. and so i did and he cried so hard as we hugged because it felt like no matter if i knew or not about what he was going through, there is always light in such a dark place. just that one hug changed his view at that current time. now he's one of my bestest friends and is the happiest guy i've ever known. please. if you know someone or have a feeling like someone is going through the toughest times, do something to help. whether its talking or just one simple hug. it can change a life no matter how you view it. i wasn't a viewer of Reckful but i do feel for him, i wish i knew him to give him that same hug i did to my friend and may he rest in peace.

You made him happy Miz. You and Slick. He's proud of you mate.

this gave me chills, much love out to everyone

Rest in peace Byron, I hope everyone stays strong xqcL

I didn’t think this would hurt me as much as it does, relates to a lot of us with how open he was with issues and goes through very similar situations a lot of us, ours may not be the same but it’s similar

Sorry y’all guys have to go through this, I didn’t really watch reckful, but I’ve been there when Etika passed and I just wanna say, don’t blame yourself. You didn’t have anything to do with it. We couldn’t have stopped it. I’m sorry y’all have to experience this. I am here to say it gets better, I’m really am sorry you have to go through this. I’ve felt the same way y’all have. We’ll get through this together.

10:07 he's talking about tyler1's stream/video on this if anyone is wondering

Rest in peace Byron..

I never knew about Reckful, but I hope he is resting easy. God bless his soul ❤️

i totally empathize with your friends death my best wow friend just died this month and its very hard, i don't know if you were joking but man you have a vain veiw of the world when streams equals worth.

“Find a way” ~Tyler1

I felt happy when ever I decided that I will kill myself at home....I felt like I was finally free, it's finally over... That is why he probably seemed happier in the last few days.

Suicide is never right.

I never heard of Reckful, but this is sad. Rest in peace Reckful

i wish i had friends like this. i literally tell everyone about my depression but people just stoppied talking to me responding to me and just get annoyed that im always depressed.

"When WoW died he died" man when Miz said that i broke down

Reckful was a living legend and he didn't even realise.. Life is fucking brutal.

Etika last year... Reckful this year... man fuck everything. Two amazing people who took their own lives.

learn from this people! Rip reckful you absolute legend!

Just when I thought this year couldn't get any worse

I know Reckful since last year and i didnt know this i waited for him 1 year. This Video makes me Fkn cry. RIP Reckful..

It’s eye opening to see how deep his problems truly went with suicidal depression. Genuinely makes you wonder what pushed him over the edge after so many years of struggling.

This dude Miz really good at acting. He probably thought “this is great content” tons of views telling this story

We should just end this year early.

I can understand what it feels like seeing the one you loved just... gone 😔

This reminds me a lot of when Robert Williams passed. People who are hurting the most always try to be the most caring to those around them. It's like since they know how low you can go that they don't want others to feel that way and try to lift them up. It's just sad to see that they ultimately aren't able to lift themselves up as well. RIP Reckful

Rest in peace, this hurts me to see this happen, this is so unfair, who in their right mind would drive someone to the point that this would happen.

Sometimes you really need to talk to someone you know when you feel down.

hey bro this prolly wont mean much coming from a nobody like me but i went what ur going through man its one of the hardest things losing a friend from suicide...its one of the hardest thing to get over and i suffer from depression myself every day its a struggle just to get out of bed ..one thing ive learned from my experience is u cant blame yourself or others for what happened think of the happy times you have had with the person and try your best to move on...about a week after my friends death he came to visit me in a dream we talked and it gave me real closure on the matter..i hope you can get through this and hope the friends and family can find closure in the matter :( may he r.i.p

i still feel numb when watching this. physically and mentally.

You don't know what personal battles/struggles someone is going through, be kind to everyone.

I just I went into a deep yell of cry that my parents came yelling in my room thinking I was crazy, I myself didn’t know him very much but seeing all the hate he got. I just broke down little did I know he had walked the stairs to heaven that day, I just want to post this for people to see how cruel this world is. And How painful it can be but stand with pride and courage because I was there many times and I’ve tried to do it and I’m glad I failed. Because I regret everything I’ve done to myself because I’ve seen that if I ever if I ever kill myself im not hurting myself because I’m dead and I’m being sent somewhere else. The only people I will hurt are the people whom love me. I know that from experience since some of my family members have died of OD, and suicide and I’ve seen how affected people are. So people please stay, and have a great day!

I know how Reckful must have felt. I’m 41 and I don’t remember a time I haven’t thought of ending it. It’s horrible to have these constant thoughts. If you’re able to hold on to something in your life even if it’s something small. I don’t have any support of family or friends... I feel very very alone. When I had friends and distraction I didn’t have these constant thoughts. Now I stick around for my pets which seems pathetic but they need me, wouldn’t survive at this point with someone else. It sounds really sad and pathetic but I gotta hold on to something. If you feel the same way and are alone too having something to care for helps. Your not completely alone and that living thing depends on you. A dog is even better cause it forces you to get out of your house even if you don’t want to. RIP Reckful, I’m sorry you couldn’t find something to live for. It’s incredibly sad

I didn’t watch his streams but I followed his socials and some videos like him on typeracer destroying t1 but that moment where you browsed that just chatting section and every chat filled with Purple Hearts

The way he speaks in a way is somewhat like storytelling Im not sure if he always speaks like this? But anyway RIP Reckful

"Get off the internet and do something with your life"... and hearing that from a streamer. He's so right.

These past few days have been so fucked up bro. FaZe Rain going on ig and washing down percs with lean, Byron passing, shit even Alinity finally breaking down about her issues, and not to mention the current events that have been on the news recently. I've been going through something of my own, but it does not compare to what's going on all around. i feel like we ALL have to do better. Agree with me or not, it's fine. But you know this is the truth.

Seriously...Ice gets it so hard I’m surprised he’s still here. As someone’s dealt with someone w/self-harm issues to the fucking edge is so saddening & infuriating at the same time. Makes you wanna shake them & ask why. Especially when you did everything you could
