*Than and *then have different meaning.. if you use then instead of than, the meaning would be: he rather cry of you shoulder and go to his funeral nxt week.. not the same.. still, that friend is dead.. that's the difference in meaning.. I just want to share some education because I can see many comments in the internet that use then as than
As an MMA fan he was peripheral to me. Now I'm a lifelong fan. Steve-O had Paddy as a guest and I watched every minute. What an interesting guy. Full of character, but heart, too.
I've had on and off bad thoughts in my head over the last year or two. I watch this every day now when I get home from work and after I start hitting a punching bag or go for a run. It'll be an uphill climb but I'm ready for it. LOVE YOU PADDY! AND ANYONE STRUGGLING OUT THERE.. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL AND CAPABLE OF GREAT THINGS. DONT LET ANYONE TAKE IT FROM YOU!!
@@birdland85 @gb342002 Awsome!! Remember that when those thought come people care about u. Speak up so people know how u feel. Ive been struggling since i was teenager but i speak alot about my mentalhealth and since then its better each day. I have dips but that is a battle for that day and i make it trough, stay strong brother and remember we men stand together
I lost my brother to suicide last year. This message is powerful & I hope reaches someone who needed to hear it. The stigma is real. And strength isnt always physical. Thank you Paddy
This got tears in my eyes. As a man that struggles with lifelong depression this really got to me. I’ve had those thoughts plenty of times but luckily my conscious came out on top each time even if it meant that I only stopped myself because of the pain it would cause those I love. But the world does have a stigma and regardless of politics and ideologies, if you’re hurting, please just talk to someone. There’s always somebody that’s going to know even just the slightest bit of what you may need to get over your dark thoughts. The biggest culprit is always loneliness. Even though it may seem you are all alone with nobody that can possibly understand you just know you are not alone in feeling this way. May god bless all of you and everyone. Thank you Paddy and my condolences for your loss mate.
Literally the same, yeah, loneliness and childhood is what has caused it. I feel so fortunate that where I work now, I am able to speak to people, lighten the mood so that my mind is in a better place, and I never feel like I'm alone in this fight.
I know sometimes in life it feels hopeless but I guarantee there's people out there that need you they need me they need them this message just as much as they need me commenting on this message so always keep your head up always look to brighter days it's not a cliche it's a fact take a walk look for a smile if not all bad man
I had a stroke on Friday, Saturday I contemplated hitting the off switch and fortunately fell asleep and woke up Sunday. Scrolled thru FB, this clip popped up on my feed. Changed my mind and made me think. Thank you Paddy from the bottom of my heart, I feel for your loss my friend.
Not everybody is so resilient and you're lucky to be alive my friend. My girlfriend passed from a stroke at 25. Everyday you open your eyes is either a blessing or a curse and the choice is up to you. Wishing you the best possible recovery and also the best in life.
Dude.... how absolutely weird. I almost killed myself 2 weeks ago and I got the strength to call and talk to someone. I sat on the bed for hours with my gun, crying and clinging to life with thoughts of how much I love my son. The weight of my finger on the trigger became too heavy, in my last bit of desperation I called and poured myself out to someone. I am glad I didn't do it. I still have a long dark road ahead of me full of twists and turns no doubt but, I can do this. I know I can, I have to, I cannot give up. My son needs me to persevere. This video made me an instant Paddy fan. I'm literally crying rn. **update 7.26.24** I'm still here. Still alright. It was a long and very dark road ahead of that. Things settled down for a while. Things are better now, not by much. They can get better and I'm working on trudging forward to that. I'm not perfect a perfect person in an already imperfect world but I'm trying. I am still depressed and the thought dances across there from time to time but I'm confident I'll persevere for the long haul.
Glad that you reconsidered and thought about what that would've done to your boy. Please, NEVER forget that. And you already acknowledge the fact that it's gonna be hard, so just go day by day brother ✌️
An easy life is not a life worth living. Don’t pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a hard one. Take it day by day and always count your blessings! I bet there is more than you realize
Good mindset do it for your son and other people you care about a lot of people are caught up in themselves and its too late when they actually show they care when the persons gone but there are a lot of people that do care even though they don't show it.
Honestly this hit me hard. Wasn't expecting him to say something like this after all the goofiness. Respect to Paddy sorry for your loss, good luck with the elite of LW.
@@yew2oob954 wow thanks for notifying me about this comment. I got clean off of drugs, am happier healthier and better. What a difference 8 months can make. I hope everything is good in your world as well
That was beautiful. I've had so many friends kill themselves over the years. I come from a small town where it happens far too often. That, and a lot of overdose deaths from men too scared to deal with their struggles head, and turn to drugs to numb themselves. I struggle with depression, anxiety, and addiction, but I am getting help finally, and it's working. Trust me, it's not worth it to hold everything in like a lot of us do.
I was contemplating giving up, Paddy. I still do from time to time. It's just so hard, you know what I mean? Thank you, Paddy. Your words have helped me to stand up and keep trying to fight. I'm trying Paddy. Aloha from Hawaii. -R
This is the type of people we need in professional sports people saying messages like this to show that it’s okay for guys to open up. Thank you Patrick seriously you’re the man and keep it up!
As a man I have had my heart broken so many times and a few months ago it happened again always felt like I wasn’t good enough and I wanted to end my life but powerful messages like this have helped me so thank you!!
Keep it up brother we all wanna see you succeed much respect for those words some of us needed to here that. Thank you for the entertainment and for the powerful message
I've been going through severe depression lately, and I thought about taking my life. This guy literally saved my life. I don't care if he becomes champion or not, this guy is now my favorite UFC fighter. Thank you paddy
I suffer from severe Depression and immense Loneliness for more than 3 decades, also sui** al thoughts for many years. Had tears in my eyes during this speech. Thank you Paddy !
THE MOST IMPORTANT after fight comment EVER! Whether you like Paddy or not, HUGE RESPECT for sharing that message. Especially considering the audience is probably 80% male. Great job Paddy! 👍
It's easy to see the show boating and miss that there is a lovely caring human being behind it. Well said Paddy - I shall be a fan of your's from now on in. Thank you x
Why does ESPN not push this video and why does the YT Algo not push it even facebook is how does this message have 100k views. This message needs to reach everyone.
This message hits me hard. As someone as me who is suffering from major depression, i wanna thank you for saying this. Its hard for me to talk about this with my family. When they have expecations from you and you cant achieve it, they will never understand. That weight in my shoulder, its really heavy. Being silent was my way of dealing with it. Thank God that i had the courage to seek medical attention. It was my psychiatrist that saved me. Mental illness is real. 😢
@Cody Last Name When your in recovery going to meetings and rehabs, you meet A LOT of people. They weren’t all close friends, just people I met along my journey. I have had the same 5 best friends since kindergarten. You don’t need many friends, just good ones. And I promise you can make some friends, and if you don’t. That’s okay too. You can still live a fulfilling life, I guess it’s just easier to share it with people. I hope you do whatever is best for you
I literally don't watch UFC but this guy is amazing for what he did. Speak up, we may feel like there is no out but there is. You have to speak your feelings. I lost my parents both in 2020 they were both turning into their forties and I remember months down the line I looked in the mirror and didn't recognize myself. Who I was. I broke down right there and my brother and his wife were there for me. There will always be someone. Never give up, never bottle everything up. Us men matter. You matter.
I enjoy watching this guy in the octagon and interviews and know I respect him so much 👍 check on your people even those you think he/she won't do anything like this ever
