My son took his life. Started college and became overcome. Took it all in himself. Everyday I cry because I couldn't save him. Thank you for bringing this to the public.
It's such a taboo subject in young males but doesn't need to be so sorry for your loss and cannot imagine what you've been through, I was able to save my eldest son when he had a breakdown at university I drove 4 hrs to Carlisle and did not let him hang up on the whole drive up there so I knew he was still with me if I hadn't been able to drive up I dread to think what could have happened! I was lucky many are not!
Did he think about ariels mental health when he tried to slate his lively hood and his income source for his family? A job that he loves to do a dream job for everyone. Actually sickening that he is using the mental health card straight after the World Cup to promote himself after robbery of the year 🤢🤢🤢🐀🐀🐀
Awesome shit bro! Been battling stage 4 Cancer for years now. Had to stop my 14 year Career. Lost 46kg. All my hard work at the GYM gone. Ego crushed. Felt like I'd failed my wife, kids, parents, friends. Talking saved me. Never be afraid to open up, talk and Never give up! 💪😎👌💯 Big love
I hear you my brother, your not alone, I know you might feel destroyed inside and outside, but you must fight warrior, your allowed to be tired but your not allowed to give up champion , I know one day you will comment here to say “I won that fucking battle” stay blessed, stay strong, stay positive ❤
Lost a close friend of mine recently, exactly one month ago on the 14th. The day I heard the news I watched that fight where you gave your speech to try and clear my head but instead I was finally able to let out my tears that I had bottled up. Thank you for your dedication to the cause Paddy, you are a true inspiration.
One love Paddy! Been struggling with mental health myself recently, and your quote of 'rather my mate crying on my shoulder than going to his funeral next week' honestly changed my life, finally opened up, and started being honest with myself, roll on 2023 when i can start getting into a boxing gym 💪 love you, and I hope anyone reading this that is struggling decides to take the step forward! More than happy for anyone to reach out to me, if you just want a stranger to vent to!
Thanks to this message I’ve plucked up the courage to speak to someone, they believe I’ve suffered from ADD since I was child which has been harder now I’m 26 years old, this has caused a lot of depression, self doubt and anxiety since leaving school. If I’m diagnosed this will finally give me closure and self acceptance, I’ve grew some balls and decided to take up kick boxing in the meantime which has been sound and helped with my mental health massively Cheers paddy!👊🏻
Why does paddy delete comments that exposes his true nature? Using mental health to promote himself straight after the World Cup finals 🤢🤢🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀. Did he think about ariels mental health when he tried to slate him for a job he loves to do????
30 years ago I nearly ended it all after a long bout of depression that abruptly descended on me one morning. It's literally the toughest thing I've ever been through. Harder than working 18 hr days in the Bering Sea for three years. But I fought it and never gave up. Today I'm the happiest person I know and I have a profound sense of gratitude for every breath I take. If you are in the struggle.... fight it! I *PROMISE* you that it's worth it. Even our suffering is one of the greatest gifts a sentient being can recieve.
This is gold mate. I’m so happy you stuck around in your life and that your so happy now. I feel like I had a similar life to this I’m so happy now too.
I started seeing a therapist after my mom was killed in a car crash. I was honestly surprised by how much it helped. Not just with getting through my grief over my mom but for other issues that were eating away at my soul. I think it helps if you view your therapist as just a complete stranger who you can be completely honest with. They have the tools to help you.
Imagine how much more powerful and effective this message would be if Paddy didn't go out of his way to lie about people and call them "A Maggot" and "Scum of the Earth" for no reason
@Chris Waters How was that an apology? And anyway that was only said in a very specific context. Conor was cheating when Khabib had him on the ground and he was complaining to the ref about it at the bell. Conor responded with its only business. Khabib definitely didn't say, "Guess so", wtf 😅
@Chris Waters shit take. Paddy shit on Ariel because he wouldn't pay him for an interview.. Conor was building the pay per view for the biggest fight in mma history. Paddy has got his hands out trying to cash in on getting interviewed and then throwing his toys when a journalist tells him it's unethical. He's a nob, then he uses his dead mate to try and garner sympathy after he gets exposed as a liar.. it's pathetic.
Maybe, if all of Western Culture was not sabotaged, (poor education and wealth making production sent to communism in china over the last 45 years), we would be able to take care of ourselves. Of course, as most of us go down, we can always drag who ever is remaining with us, by telling them to sacrifice their lives for somebody else in need. How about we stop the sabotage to begin with, so we can live better lives as we are more than happy to earn?
He's trying he's hardest to gain the masses back and deleting comments is a sign of hypocrisy. If he is about mental health why didn't he care about ariels feelings and mental health when he BULLIED him with his boss and kept on spreading lies, ODD AND FAKE.
I really appreciate you, Paddy. Being so open about your own issues and using your platform to tackle the stigma around mens mental health. Thank you and much love!!!❤
There's some great support from people that have never seen each other on here and it's so nice to know people are helping others when feeling like this. I've felt like this alot over the years and somehow I've got through it. Talking actually helped so please talk to someone if your struggling boys it does actually help believe me! Take care and stay strong 💪
I know how you feel every morning brother and I know how hard it is every day, and this video has so much power for others who feel broken thank you for fighting and I will pray for you and I hope you know that you are loved and admired no matter what paddy
@@deepzepp4176 multiple comments trolling, this vid isn’t about UFC, or Ariel. Stop trolling, it shows you are either suffering or enjoy causing suffering. Grow up a little and be kind to yourself and others.
Paddy is posting this emotional peace, because he knows he lost a lot of respect for losing his last fight and not manning up to it. He thinks we are dumb!
Paddy.. I lost me dad in 2014.. he had a heart attack at my house doing a remodel.. I found him.. and for six Years after that I just self medicated to make myself numb because it was ingrained in me that I wasn’t allowed to cry.. I wasn’t allowed to grieve.. I hit my low point and was ready to take my life.. thank you for making light of this.. I love everything your doing. You’re so wholesome lad. Love you
You are an amazing person for this! The worst part for me was not being able to talk to anyone. No one seemed to give a shit so I was left to suffer in silence. It is not weakness if you reach out for professional help.
Dude love the message and we love you! You’re looking great. They have been talking shit bout ya, Paddy, win or lose, don’t fly to close to the sun, you will burn your wings. Love ya’ll!❤️
Cold tub helped me bro. When I felt I had nowhere to turn, 3 minutes in the cold helps me become present. It got me right out of trouble. Keep positive mate.
Thanks Paddy for bringing more awareness to mental health. I finally decided to get help this year and it’s made a huge difference with my depression and anxiety.
Ariel knows what he’s doing😂 he’s literally ruined the internet for several people just for having the audacity not to like him, journalists are snakes in sheep clothing.
Hey bro. I know what your going through. My mum passed beginning on November. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t miss her but each day is a little easier as cliche as that sounds . Keep strong , you will get through it .
I remember Paddy's ring speech. He lost his friend but showed true bravery to fight and win like that. He's a great character, and that shows in the vlog.
sadly he does indeed have the deviated septom etc looks like a man whos been rolling the coco haha but listen man at least hes sending a possitive message although I don't know how genuine it is this is a warm video and theres a possitive message behind it.
@@danielcoppock yeah for sure I really love the talking about mens mental health especially now adays, but I think he should have come clean about his 'win' and spoke to his fans properly
@@SpongeBobFan666 listen man it's the UFC he got out damaged sure did he lose idk unless we had an extra round to see a finish I coulsnt really put my finger on it I'd say it was close but paddy took bigger shots and also both going against him and for him he was more agressive took more shots and also missed more shots jareds striking was smarter but what I don't like is that this is a classes as a win for anyone no one really taps and they broke Jared's hold on paddy a lil to early on but I could see how he definitely would win a real fight... and seeing as how that's what the judging is meant to be based on it's kinda a rematch needed for a true decision at least for me but hey listen sometimes the judges vote in the favorite this is what happened here anyone who said it wasn't a close fight at all doesn't understand the sport enough it was close in my opinion as a fan of paddy I'd say he did unfortunately take the L on this one them left hooks was beautiful from Jared and quite frankly the power he got on his shots should be the deciding factor in the end not 1-2 more blows from paddy
I don't know why people are so upset about Paddy thinking he won his fight. I've heard tons of top fighters claiming to be undefeated etc. when they have losses or controversial decisions in their records. If it's about him going off on Helwani with Dana, I mean Paddy's a fighter, true he's surrounded by journalism and media coverage but to be honest I'm not surprised when he says silly things. People expecting him to say the right thing that pleases everyone in every situation is unrealistic, let him have his stuff ups and strange opinions. To each his own 🥱.
I’ve never personally never had the situations with a loved one taking there life I’ve never been to a funeral, I’ve lost multiple beautiful childhood pets and I still this day cry sometimes and kills me deep down that they’re gone I’m very very scared of having another person who I love leave me and I honestly have no idea how much strength I’ll have once I’m in that position but I haven’t spoken about it at all. But I need to stop that and need to talk more. I’m only 21 years old and I still worry about Death of my loved ones Family, Friends ect it’s just something that my strength will be tested and I feel I need to talk more and stop keeping it in my head, thank you Patrick for speaking out
Ich bin so beeindruckt von diesem jungen Mann ! Bleib bitte immer so ,wie du bist, du hast mit dem,was du gesagt hast Türen aufgetreten ! Danke Paddy 😎
My boarding house and I did multiple charity events to raise money for James's place. Its an incredible charity that support an incredible cause. Very proud to see this.
Anyone feeling down or depressed seek help no one will judge you. go to James place or any other suicidal prevention centre i can bet after even 1 session some of that weight on you will be lifted
I'm sorry about your loss paddy. Its a serious topic for men and their mental health and it really respectful that you're using your platform to spread awareness and help people understand to not only reach out but to be there to listen too!
My man almost jumped off a bridge his close friend saved him now he says feeling low never lasts forever yes it's hard and this is why more and more men shouldn't be ashamed to open up to someone he now says a problem shared is a problem halved and talking to someone really helps thank you for all you are doing for men's mental health we are having a girl in March and he is going to see her grow if he didn't open up I wouldn't like to think what I would have done so please all if you feel low talk to someone or if you feel you can't write it down and give it to a friend or someone so they can help there is always someone to help even if you feel alone thank you again Paddy hopefully posting this will help save more lives.
Being a supporter of yours for awhile now, I was a bit sad watching your podcast with Dana. The way you two spoke about Ariel was a bit cruel but you didn’t lose me as a supporter cause deep down not just myself, but everyone knows you’re genuinely a great human being. You’ve saved lives and you’ll continue to. I’m glad you’re still here Paddy & wish you the best. Stay humble. Much ❤
@Michael he was also bullying people for not wanting to get mandatory vaxxed. Disgusting tyrannical behavior from a guy who pretends to hate Tories, but loves the crap out of dana 💩🤥🐍
My life long friend killed himself 6 months ago the first time someone I’ve known for years has passed, it’s caused me grief ever since, seizures and been out of work on the sick for 6 months but I’ve not long had a son and gave to keep going! hearing you talk about it like this means a lot to everybody paddy good on you lad❤
Keep punching Paddy we can always do more for mental health… no one is ever truly alone all we need is to know this…thanks mate for for using this platform and also that announcement at one of the biggest stages in the world being the UFC to reach millions of people, some who may have been having a rough patch in their lives 👍🏻👊🏻
You are paving the way for the modern era and this is what needs addressing. I have been going through some rough shit over the last couple weeks and having people to talk to about stuff has helped tenfold. You are doing amazing work Paddy, keep it up brother.
This facility and team looks unbelievable, if I was ever feeling that kinda way I wouldn’t think twice about going there. Every city needs places like this, glad to see you’re doing everything you can to help and I know I will too. ❤️
Paddy, as important as fighting is to you and defines who you are, you are much more than that. You have value regardless of whether you win a fight or not. Men are loved unconditionally by those closest to them, we just feel the societal pressure to perform and provide. You opening up like this is so important for men to hear & will be more impactful than any victory in the ring. Keep it up mate
Good PR move… can’t help but feel that this is an attempt to win people back over after 282. Huge respect for you and your message but people really want to hear you talk about your fight like a rational person.
I’m from st Helen’s the capital of suicide in England and Wales at one point. Yet people don’t care and still call us names that aren’t true. People only care or pretend to care when something happens
@@escandon785 ye man defo was - just reckon that Graham has told him when to release this video to help out his image a bit. Tbf though - is a great cause nevertheless so shouldn’t be anything but praise for this
That place saved my life. A few years ago hit rock bottom. Got seen very quickly. Ziva was amazing. Few years on and my life is totally different. There’s always a solution lads. Speak out.
I would much rather turn up at my mates side after he lost a decision to someone than to turn up at his funeral in a title fight! It's time for men to speak up!
yeah bro wrong video to be talking about a close ufc fight no one cares very irrelevant to what this video is about go on his instagram and go ham if you really feel the need talk about that fight
Paddy your man of two sides, one being the entertainer with ego, the side I see a humble man of humility and compassion. You're in a prime position in your life now. The world hears you loud and clear. Benevolent. So often we see and hear politicians neglect there positions in a position power. Most of them do nothing in suicide prevention, but Paddy your are doing a brilliant job of being an advocate for males mental health. Thank you and God bless you.
We love to build up our heroes almost as much as we love to tear them apart. This content means something to me and it will to a lot of other people. Love you for it.
It's when the heroes teardown someone for no reason and try to ruin their career i find them a hypocrites. Doing lots of good doesn't hide all the terrible things he's doing to people's mental healths
@@donutsgarage5716 Ariel should pay the fighter's on his show he's an ex journalist and we all know how they operate but you want the fighter's not to get paid 😂 are you Ariel's mate .... buck up you doughnut 😇🎯💯🤠
@@markmacthree3168 wow I'm just 1 of 1000s who think the same your 1 of 10 ppl who are just stupid lol why should he pay some one for turning off the income button for free Speach? why don't others pay fighters for interveiws... but if you like liars and trust lies then good for you mate keep dreaming and don't wake up lol Paddy rider lol
Thanks for being honest and talking about mental health. Having mental health problems doesn't make a person less of a man. I hope we can end the stigma. Thank you Paddy. Much love.
Made me think about my mental health so much this mate and made me think I can take the next step to talk to someone in tears seeing myself in what he says what a role model
I love this video paddy brother!! Suffered with mental health problems for 10 years due to rough childhood upbringing and it’s always been a hard battle, thank you for putting mental health at the forefront man!❤️
paddy cant wait for your next fight so you quiet all the noise these haters are making , ive believed in your potential since i first discovered you , youll be champ one day mark my words
Pad u have no idea how much this means.. I'm a male very alone no family no friends no money no job due to mental health I'm in a very very dark place .. and these sort of things mean alot . . Just wish I could get help as I suffer social anxiety so I'm scared to go out and get help
@@jakedemaggio8649 tried phoning and they can't help atm as I don't have a doctor.. can't register to a doctor as my ex burnt all my I.d . So in big mess atm mate .. appreciate the message...thank you
This is heart warming . My husbands one year of committing suicide on Christmas Day… is in a week. Someone so close and to have so much to live for , we will never understand what is going on in a persons head . I love you baby, my always. 🖤
13 months ago my father passed from cancer, 9 months ago one of my best friends took his life, 4 months ago my brother took his life. It seems just like yesterday my dad passed. I suffer my own demons even before all of this happened and ngl it's been overwhelming. The guilt of it all has been eating me alive and it's like a grenade went off in my soul. Trying to move forward but damn it's hard. Thank you for bringing awareness to men's mental health.
Hi Paddy mate and all these supporters in chat. I spent much of my adult life in rehab due to many reasons (according to shrinks and groups). But I always believed and still believe that I'm an alcoholic and drug addict due to the very close people I have lost from unexpected natural disaters and shocking suicides in such a short period of time. I always remember my mates, and I don't talk about them to my shrinks but I struggle to find myself again. Some call it an excuse, some believe I should be over by it now from all the treatment I have had. How does one have empathy for such an unlikely situation?
Peter I too have lost important people in my life . Main one being my father due to a cruel illness in motor neurone disease. You never get over it and never forget! Dont let people or the professionals tell you any different! It hurts every day but u learn to live with the struggle! Chin up bro!
All recent media aside, I’m an atheist who doesn’t believe in any god but I do believe you’re doing his/her work with this one. You’re a good lad, have a great Christmas and reflect on this year. Good and bad, don’t let success change you!
As much as I love watching Paddy fight and talk crap and enjoy his content, this is the real meat and potatoes of why I respect him. Thank you for putting attention on this and raising awareness. Thank you for actually being vulnerable and a good role model for young men to aspire to by promoting kindness, empathy, communication, vulnerability, and even tears sometimes. The greatest of athletes don't just excel in their craft, Muhammad Ali, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Martina Navratilova, Simone Biles, they all raised important social issues sometimes to the detriment of their own careers, but that's what made them transcend the confines of the definitions of an athlete and made them into the icons that they are. Good on you, lad.
If a young man feels like he does not fit in, that's not a bad thing. They need to find their path, because this is the very drive that will make them surpass the norm to AMAZING SUCCESS, if they persist. just being told that can make a huge difference
I'm Confused!!🙄🙄🙄🤒 Talking s*t and bully someone good career all these last week, all of a sudden now u are acting like a good guy, what in the World am i living in?
People are multifaceted. Paddy is always posting mental health stuff, but piss him off when he's weight cutting and he might snap and unleash an unhinged rant. It is what it is...
Paddy. I heard of you but not really an MMA fan. However this video helped me so much. Keep smashing your a legend bro. Respect from down the road Manchester
I dont care about MMA or fighting's in general but Paddy is such a bright person so by watching him for a fe min i could forget about my problems and be happy for a sec.
Paddy you’re doing what no other UFC fighter did. Dealing with depression is like a knife that never stops cutting you. Let’s talk about it as men. Don’t stop Paddy.
I love this Paddy. Real, raw, authentic.That’s all you need. Too many people let the influencer status get to them and they become something they are not. Stay true Paddy.
