Because it acknowledge the pain we're going through, other's are just brushing throught the surfaces. Teal understand the emotional depth and wavelength we're in and addressed it word by word but with compassion
OR not even watch the freaking video, she is saying directly multiple times that this is to help peolpe to overcome suicidal behavior! also I agree with you.
I remember when I was suicidal that yes, I would tell myself, "Can I live for 5more mins? Can I live for an hour? How about long enough for a movie? For a nap?" It really did help me, so if ever I am talking to someone suicidal, yes I do say these things. This is spot on, thank you Teal.
The idea of suicide as a sort of revenge has crossed my mind in the past and it is good to hear it mentioned in this video. I felt like no one ever took the amount of pain I was in seriously. You end up not only feeling the original pain but also intense loneliness and shame on top of that. People need to start validating eachothers feelings no matter what they are and suicide will stop feeling like an option.
I AGREE!!! That's how I feel right now - people have been so cruel to me, I have been bullied my entire life (including childhood by my "parents") and still am.... I dont want to be here anymore 💔 😭
It’s selfish for someone to try to keep you alive because they can’t deal with you killing your self or want you to live and suffer because of some people don’t care about your feelings only theirs
I agree.. it has been so frustrating for me to see so many people who don’t understand the suffering people go through.. but they can judge them. My own son finally made this clearer to me before he unalived himself. I did everything I could to help but it was his life and his suffering. 😢
Teal you re-uploaded this, wow! Just want to say a few years ago...the original video literally saved my life. Thank you Teal. My life is better in everyway, you helped me with that. I never forget now, that we always have the power and there is always another way out to solve our problems.
@@angelsrosena many people are already feeling suicidal when they come to. The fact that a couple of them followed through on it cant be blamed on her or her videos. How many people chose not to kill themselves after finding teal?
This video has helped me stay alive. I come back to it when I'm struggling and it reminds me that I don't actually want to die, I just want my pain to stop. Thank you Teal.
My son shot himself at 13 and died in my arms. This was 9 years ago. My purpose is as a Suicide Eradicator, to eradicate the stigma of suicide. I am bringing a safe place for teens and young adults a safe place to talk about suicide. Thank you for this post❤️
@@almostliterally593 the media want to act like it's not okay to give advice unless you've got the right piece of paper even though the majority of professionals can't relate to suicidal people. Teal has been there herself and not only that she is one of the most knowledgeable people on the subject that you could find. The media would rather get a few views by selling you that there's a cult leader on the loose than admitting that Teal might just know what she's talking about.
@@almostliterally593 just watched a bbc slam piece basically saying teal was killing people with this video and her fb group. It was bs. Made me lose respecr for the BBC.
Teal Swan is the only person whose videos actually help for suicidal stuff. She actually gets it. Most people's advice about suicide it's keep on living cuz somebody else wants you to. When you feel suicidal nothing like adding living on as a slavery to your loved ones so they don't get sad on top of it. Teal actually gives you some real things to do about it
Absolutely. My brother told me the other day when I spoke about my suicidal thoughts that that was the most selfish thing he'd ever heard - my discounting the pain I'd be causing others. He didn't see that his view, that I should continue to suffer intensely so he didn't have to go through any pain, was pretty selfish imo
not to mention some suicidal people (like myself) dont have loved ones so when the bulk of their "dont kill yourself" rationale boils down to "think of everyone who loves you" its not doing anyone any favors. i think of everyone who loves me and i see a void. nothingness. how is that supposed to entice me to live
Yes, I feel so alone because all advise I get is "get yourself together and be happy" or "try to think happy thoughts" etc. It's driving me nuts and throws me into more despair. I feel like I'm in a dark well and cannot get up. This video helps me a lot. Thanks 🌹💗
Teal, I saw the ridiculous video posted against your teachings and was completely heartbroken when they mentioned that they were able to get this video removed. I looked for it and it was gone. This is the video that helped me stay alive. Thank you for posting this back up. It means so much to so many. I appreciate you 💜
No BS this video has saved me from suicide three times. And since life keeps kicking me in the face I have to watch this video of a hell of a lot between now and April 4th. My birthday is April 3rd so. . . . . .. . . . yeah this videos got a week
@@shozanhanma2709 I kept watching Teal’s material when I felt the way you do. I even got a membership to her premium website and found so much more! The workshops really helped. Im sorry you feel the way you do. Its valid, but it doesnt have to be your reality. Keep searching for happiness and stability and im sure you can experience moments that will remind you that life is beautiful. Because it most definitely can be. And I believe in you. This video is a gem. Im glad its helped. I wish you a very happy birthday!
Teal swan helped me get out of my suicidal thoughts and the prison I was in, every video of hers made me feel like someone understood me, that someone cared, that my feelings were valid, that there can be healing...because everyone around me only told me I need to stop being selfish and stay positive, everyone just minimized and invalidated what I was suffering from and I felt the only solution to finally be heard and end the suffering was death. But teal gave me ways to heal...
Thank you for this. You actually told the truth. You didn't sugar coat anything. When you're suicidal, the last thing you want to hear is how beautiful and wonderful life is, because it makes you feel even more ashamed for not feeling that way at that point in your life.
"You don't want to die, what you want is an end to your pain." I feel so seen, heard, and validated. I'm going to show this to my partner tonight, I know it's going to help him so much. Thank you so incredibly much for this. 💗
No I want to die I can’t help it tho I use drugs for the pain the video’s don’t help me but the comments do knowing I’m not the only one helps me honestly
You don't want to die, what you want is an end to your pain." I don't believe that is true for all. Some are just tired of life's continuing struggles and pain , and want to be done with it once and for all. At least i do, and struggle with that thought process.
I just watched the BBCs Report on Teal Swan and what they call "the visualization of death." A person watching this video is already suicidal and unstable. Heck, Teal Swan and this video saved my life 4 years ago when I was all alone in a foreign country struggling with severe depression. Her saying to visualize what happens when I die, imagine my funeral, imagine all the details etc. I realized I can't do it because it would kill my family, breaks their hearts forever, break my mother's heart, my sibling's heart. The video also empowered me that I always have the option of suicide, I have this power, but that made me realize I also have the power to change! Change my situation, change the circumstances, that I am not helpless, I can do something about this. I can understand that people who still then decide to commit suicide, it was their decision, we have to accept it. But for me, it was not an viable option anymore. So this is my objection to BBCs report on Teal Swan. They clearly haven't seen this video.
I think that's my problem. My family didn't show up for me when my mother was disabled, my father was chronically working and I was being S3xually A$$aulted since 5 years old. The idea of turning off the flesh vehicle and making them all get together to talk about how much they f--ked up makes me kinda feel better. That's my biggest problem.
AHHH it’s back! ❤️❤️❤️ yessssss! Love you Teal! This video should’ve never been removed and I’m so glad more people have the chance to see it. It will, as it has, save more lives.
Every now and then I come back to this video, each time I'm able to recognize that, even though I'm here again, I've made great progress. Don't give up!
I have been to the hospital in crisis. They sent me home and later told my mental health team that I was drunk!!! I wasn’t. I don’t trust anyone anymore
Teal, thank you for this. There’s a reason that it wasn’t deleted from RU-vid. I’m highly surprised they left it in here. Only people who’ve been truly suicidal understand this video. Thank you ❤
"4. If you're suicidal, there is an unmet need that you are currently unaware of, and that is for other people to see your pain". Teal thank you for sharing your authentic messages even when you face opposition because authenticity improves the world and peoples viewpoints. Hearing you say that made me feel so much relief that I have been looking for, but I did not know it was possible to relieve it, tenseness runs in my family.
To Teal: Thank you for being you. To Blake: Thank you for the extra care you have taken in selecting graphics and inserts for this particular message. To All: The last time I was at this threshold was early 2014 and Teal was able at that time to stop her day & walk me out of that space with the tools she is sharing now. That "lasting resolution" became possible that day and since then my journey has not known that level of overwhelming dispair. "A solition absolutely does exist."
Blessings, brothers and sisters!! As a survivor of several attempts, I'm on the other side living fully and presently helping a new friend get thru their days. So much pain was felt way back when, today I hold space so others will hold on just a little longer. Love, peace and clarity is my wish for all 💝🙏
Thank you Teal, what timing! The setting it aside and putting it off, has kept me here thus far. This is not dangerous, it's realistic to actual suicidal compulsions and has been very helpful for me.
This is one of the best videos I have ever seen. It respects the pain we have felt or are feeling without demonizing it and offers validation, compassion, and manageable steps. No toxic positivity here, but little shoots of hope. Thank you ❤️🩹 Love to everyone reading this 🤍
My brother just came in my room, he’s not very good with words but the combination of he just giving me a hug & being with me for a while and your words saved me tonight.
This helped me so much. You can’t believe how you helped me last night. I’ve been searching for videos that help me through another depressive episode for a very long time and then I came across yours. Thank you 🙏🏻
Interestingly I'm suicidal recently from physical pain I had some dental work go way wrong. I've also been suicidal from emotional pain...from depression etc...and can tell you indeed nobody wants to die they just want the pain to end. This video is a priceless resource you're great Teal thank you.
Im 18 and last year I had two surgeries for my wisdom teeth that went really wrong. I just wanted to tell you pease hang in there and do not harm yourself. I may not know you personally but I genuinely care about you. Take care ❤️
Dude- extreme head/mouth pain that can make a person SO suicidal. There’s a rare and terribly type of headache disorder nicknamed “the suicide disease” because the pain drives so many of the sufferers to suicide.
Cold shower can work for depression, and for other pain too. WHM breathing can work. Just dont do that breathing in cold. It's the madmen who "learn to walk again" and become geniuses, that discover this stuff.
Ayo I had a surgery go wrong too and combining the post surgery pain and the emotional pain and the struggles of life makes it really difficult. I totally feel you. I hope you’re okay right now
This is insane. When I was feeling suicidal a few months ago, you uploaded a video about suicide the next day. My boyfriend was feeling suicidal last night and you post this video today. The coincidence is uncanny.
I was suicidal most of my life and after my last suicide 7 years ago I had an awakening. I’m watching this to see how I can be more helpful for those who are suffering. I’m going to look into becoming a facilitator. Thank you for sharing 💙
I lost someone special to suicide years ago. Now another friend is in that place. I am so thankful that this video is back up, I have been wanting to share it with her. Please share what saved you ❤️
@@rebekahmcAlister I’m so sorry for your loss. It was a divine intervention for me. I had multiple suicide attempts. My last one I took an entire bottle of Xanax with alcohol and then slit my wrist very deeply. I woke up to a doctor sewing up my arm. I guess surviving that and everything else I knew I was here for a reason. I dove deep into spirituality after that. I went into nature at a eco retreat and disconnected from everything for a few days. I read the book The Power of your subconscious mind by Joseph Murphy and that changed my life. That took me on a road of studying consciousness, reality, quantum physics, energy, etc. I became mindful of the people around me, what I was watching, what I was listening to, etc. I also started taking care of my body with clean eating and exercise. I took different herbs to help with anxiety and stress. I also worked on healing my gut, where serotonin is made (our happy hormone). I hope this helps 🙏🏼
This actually saved my life. Teal's videos are the only thing that's helped me over the therapy, medication and "self care" tools. She focused on the route cause, addressing it and helping the change of mindset.
I have been to the hospital more than twice for attempting suicide. The last time I was suicidal and I had a plan to do it. I listened to this and made so much sense that I stoped thinking about it. I started working on myself. Teal swan is not a cult. Her videos have helped me and It hasn't cost me one dollar.
Every time I’ve been this depressed, it has always taught me about something legitimately painful in my life. When I stopped resisting the pain, and honored the message within it, I became able to make changes I desperately needed to live life according to a better path for my truth.
Although I am not a person who deals with suicidal thoughts, I watched this video, being happy that Teal Swan made such a compassionate, helpful, and empowering video for my fellow humans all over the world who deal with this problem 💖
Chronic pain and ptsd makes me suicidal. I’m alive for my pets right now. When I don’t have any pets it will be a different story. Being in severe pain 24/7 is no way to live.
I dont care if people think me mad, I believe things like this can be cured, or at least alleviated greatly. You have the opportunity to do field work with this. There are many things outside mainstream healthcare. But a very big component is belief, belief in your recovery and belief in the method. While it's good to be wise about what you try to heal yourself with, stepping outside the box = being mad, is pretty much a must when conventional ways fail you. All I'm saying is, dont give up before you've checked all the cards. Paul Chek and Wim Hof, worth checking. Their teachings might not help with root causes of ptsd, they might, but they will make the quality of life better long-term.
Sphynx Mumma please look into “the cure for chronic pain by Nicole Sachs LCSW” she has a RU-vid channel. She has an emotional system of healing pain syndrome and chronic pain. I am working on her system too because I have chronic pain and ptsd too. Hugs to you and lots of love
I so so hate that youtube's policies are written by shortsighted individuals. Instead of getting understanding and validation HERE (as this is what Teal has given) people will just feel MORE pressure, be less understood AND will feel so hopeless that they will be MORE likely for them to commit suicide. If you are such a person and you see this: your frustration and hopelessness and pain are so legitimate. Dont feel guilt. If you want to press the restart button: its OKAY. I would advise talking to someone REAL understanding before you do anything, but what you are feeling is NOT shameful!
I'm with you. I'm so angry at these people, criticising something they don't understand. God, they are such a trigger to me. I can't stand hearing any criticism about Teal. She is one of the best teachers on the planet. Her understanding of human behaviour is unparalleled and I have listened to many spiritual teachers, read many books, none of them even compare to her. She really understands pain. And she's not afraid to tell the truth. I often wonder how she managed to survive 19 years of extreme abuse, but thank God she did.
Thank you for this message Teal. My little brother committed suicide when he was 16. I woke up one morning to find him dead in his bed. One of the hardest things that I have ever gone through. I was so angry and didn't understand it. 20 years later I was diagnosed with cancer. I had to fight for my life. 2 years later my life spiraled down. They physical, emotional and financial effects from the cancer came crashing down. I also saw how toxic my family was. I realized then why my brother did kill himself. I was so angry with God. Why did I survive cancer to go through hell. I prayed for him to take me. I didn't want to be here. Two things stopped me from taking my life. I didn't want my children to have to go through that kind of pain. Also I knew that I would have to come back here and live this life again. I've had to fight like hell, but I'm still here.
You survived cancer for a reason and that was to nurture your children and to live your own life. Very sorry to hear about your brothers passing. I lost my father to suicide when I was two years old. My family is dysfunctional to say the least now I'm battling with my own suicide ideations.
This is the first time someone has talked to me about suicide and made me feel seen. All the other help I’ve found has made me feel wrong and bad and guilty.
Hello! I’m very lonely and I’m finding creating and maintaining connection difficult and it’s very nice to know that I’m not alone. Love you teal tribe. I hope that I feel connection to this body of people one day
Thank you, you validated my pain and saved my life, today. I want people to know how much pain I feel, how unfulfilled my life feels and no one sees it
I’m not suicidal because I’m in desperation, I’m suicidal because I’ve healed a lot of things and I can see how not ok I’m still are, I know crisis won’t end even though they become less intense, i know I’m just gonna keep up with this, and I’m tired, I’m in a place of sadness and calm, accepting what things are, not being dramatic, when I made suicidal attempts I felt like I could breath, I know a life like this. Isn’t worth it, isn’t worth it for me, I have achieved and learned a lot, I’ve become sensitive to others so they don’t feel alone in their pain, such a gift, but I wanna start over, or if there’s not such a think, I don’t wanna live what’s next, even if it has also wonderful things, that I know my life would have, I see how sick I am, I saw this video because you have always been the representation of a seer, you made me know everything really has a purpose, the decision you made to live what you lived for love, how admirable, I see this video because I wanted anything to make me believe this was somehow worth it, and probably if I couldn’t kill my self before I won’t be able to do it know, but it see,s you have a real reason why you’re deciding to be here, I didn’t want to kill myself because I didn’t want to be defeated, but now every time I feel better, cause it gets better I see how much pain I really have, I see how far away I am from peace, and I don’t want this anymore.
Sometimes I feel so broken like theres not any whole enough piece to push through it all. I'll wait tonight and see how I feel tomorrow. Not sold on living this life but curious to see one more sunny morning.
Luis - I don't know who you are or where you're from, but want you to know that your message touched my heart. I felt your pain in your words and I felt a heavy pain in my chest and tears on my eyes. There is something deep in my being that hopes you are still around and that you haven't made the choice to end it. I don't feel suicidal, so I cannot relate to what pain you are going through, but I want you to know that I love you Luis. From one human to another, I say that with complete honesty. We are all one and we will all wake up one day to realize the depth of that truth. You matter! Your pain is real and it's alright that you feel the way you feel. Know, despite everything around you saying otherwise, it is temporary. You were guided to Teal's video for a reason and I hope you hold off on making a final decision and continue walking forward. There is a light at the end of your pain and suffering and, if you hold on for a bit longer, you get closer to that light every day. God bless you Luis! You are in my thoughts 🙏 💕
@@natalier.6775 I understand Luis a lot because I am in a similar situation. Today I will make my first attempt at suicide. I have had a difficult life, I suffered abuse a lot in my childhood, mentally, physically and emotionally, but I kept on going because I had hope in my heart that I could have a freer life in the future, I wanted the power to live free and pursue my dreams in life, as of now I don't have that power and I'm still reliant of my family for support but my relationship with them has been deterioratingand its gotten to the worst point yet. I am the only spiritual person in my family, the rest of them are materialistic and religious, I turned away from religion because that part of that was desperate for truth was too loud and I couldn't ignore it, til this day that is probably the best thing I ever did for myself, I yearn still to be more free, to know life more and I have given up my physical life, my family will never understand me but I am sorry with all my heart for what I am about to do, it's selfish of me to condemn my mother, sibings and entire family to live the rest of their lives without me but my dreams here are dead, I see no future for myself alongside them, I have no hope, Ironically the thought of suicide is one of the few things that makes me feel better, that I know I have the power to do, part of me is a bit anxious of what I might face on the other side, perhaps memories I have forgotten will start flooding through my mind again, perhaps I will find out why I came into this life and see whether I've failed at my purpose or not, Part of me hates being me, part of me doesn't want to be, Part me doesn't want to die but part me is very eager and excited to die, to finally be free, to no longer be bound to my physical body. I always wanted to explore life, the stars and galaxies, to discover deeper spiritual truths. Death is my only doorway to inner peace and freedom now. If you've read this dear, thank you and carry on. If you respond and I don't reply after 48 hours, then I am no longer here
Thank you for taking the huge risk of re-uploading this video. I have seen the sadly ignorant people who consider you a cult and heard what they say. It's sad because you really are saving lives! Your legacy, especially this video is one of the most important messages currently being received by humanity, "official accreditation" or not. You have also helped save my life, and by proxy, that of some people close to me, from total meaninglessness. I won't live to thank you enough.
I agree with what you say about Suicide being taboo among professionals & I wish that the treatment available wasn’t so invasive. I wish it could just be talked about 😢
Since i first found this video even in the midst of being on the edge i always come back to it (or it comes back to me) and NOTHING has ever got through to me like this does. It reminds us just how powerful words are. Thankyou so much
all i crave is to be in nature .to paint and sing and be with my family and loved ones . to me thats what makes me feel most alive . im getting burnt out in this rat race . i had to even step away from school . because it makes my soul feel like its dying inside bit by bit. all i want is freedom . its all i everwanted . its so far from what society deems is acceptable. im tired planning . planning for a future . i was told i was supposed to have . my soul only longs to create and my body craves the great outdoors. do i pursue the life i truly want even if it means i may have to leave everything and everyone else behind . because they dont wanna go where im feeling drawn to go
It takes courage to be an adventurer, to face your fears, to be true to yourself and to go for dreams. Ask any successful person and if they're honest, then 99% of them will tell you that they had these same challenges and learned to deal with them and many are still dealing with them.
We are born to be free. Your longing for freedom, nature, love and friendship is what our souls crave. You are lucky for being aware of it. You are almost there.
Thank you TS. Your videos have provided me more comfort than you can imagine. You get it in a way that few do. And, to those out there, you are not alone.
I needed this today. I was suicidal Monday but my friend saved my life. I have been overworking myself and Thursday I was at my wits end. I did what was right and I was put on leave. I'm completely fine now and want to work. I've got no one else in my life so I have to focus on what I can do and everything else will fall in place.
Just popped in to send this video to a friend of mine who is going through some hard times at the moment. Ended up re-watching the whole video and remembering how amazing this video was to me back in my teen years. Some of the best advice I've ever received in my life came from this video. I can say this video was absolutely a catalyst for me to choosing to live and not to commit suicide through my life. I can not say enough praise for Teal and this video and it breaks my heart the negative attention she has received for it. Thank you Teal Swan, and to anyone who is currently going through it right now.. Some things in this video may take a while to sink in so if you're struggling with some of the concepts just know from someone looking back on this video I am so very thankful for every part that she included, some of the concepts took me years to fully grasp but were ultimately lessons I needed to learn to be standing where I am today.
This is the first comment I've ever made on RU-vid. Thank you Teal for being here. Thank you for sharing all this knowledge with us. Thank you with my heart for getting me out of a very difficult situation in the past and continuing to do so.
Just wanted to add like many others, this video saved my life a few years ago when all else had failed. I came looking for it to share it with a relative who is going through the same thing now and was so disappointed to realise it is being blocked by people who have no idea what a life-saving perspective-shifting and validating resource this is to someone who has completely given up!
Thank you, Teal. I'm an old lady with recollections of "past lives." In one of those I lost my 5 children to a fire, couldn't live on, and suicided. This lifetime, at 7-year intervals (ages 7-35), five people have entered my life and left. Each of them meant the world to me. I have had to learn how to let go of each of them with grace.
Didn’t mean to sound like I was offering my services for astrology here! I hope you find someone to help if you are so inclined. From what I can see you have already learnt to “let go” of these people who mattered so much to you. Repeating the themes of your past life traumas around losing those you loved. Astrology also speaks about carrying patterns over from past lives. This is part of the north-south node axis. My knowledge of my own axis has been life changing in letting go of unhealthy patterns from past lives. But it definitely isn’t easy! Good luck
@@carriehobbes2448 Thank you, Carrie. Read your previous reply too. Like you, I've studied scientific astrology for a long time and it has helped in so many ways. And yes by the time we are able to talk about something we have often moved on through it. I thought my "story" would illustrate a practical after-effect of giving up. All the best...
Glad to hear you’ve moved through all that. Thanks for sharing your story here, I too am living through what can only be classed as a difficult life , but having had past life regressions I understand I am on an accelerated path in this one, because I didn’t quite get the hang of some things in past lives. Cancer Capricorn nodal axis, NN in cancer. It has been the work of a lifetime learning how to nurture myself and not drive myself to death. I’m not yet 40 but have spent a third of my life severely limited with chronic illnesses, housebound and even bed bound for many years. But I am better now, walking around and pain free for the most part. I’ve had to heal a HUGE amount of childhood trauma (born to a severely abusive mother in this life). It’s definitely a process. I wish you well on your journey. It was a pleasure interacting with you here. Sending you light and peace from India. 🙂🌈☀️✨
@@carriehobbes2448 Yes, accelerated paths seem to be "the thing" these days. Yours certainly sounds so. To me that also means that you are accompanied by what I call "Invisibles" who nurture and uphold you through it all. At least I feel that way - they have brought tools such as astrology - my chart is in storage and I forget the details but it has been a meaningful tool through the years as I've sifted through events. I'm 78. You are young and wise.
I have had a foot in the doorway to leaving this life many times. I've made it through to surviving (partly by a couple of unsuccessful, I now realise, half-hearted attempts); by trying to remember the maxim "Don't make a permanent decision to a Temporary feeling or circumstances" (even though that pain/circumstance is going on longer than I feel I can cope with any more). This video has hit home on multiple levels, and invites steps and strategies that I feel would actually Reach me in that moment of ultimate pain and contemplation of permanently ending it - something that no other advice I've read or watched could ever do - I found them too easy to dismiss with a "Yes but..." There is no "Yes, but" to this advice here, and my commitment to life today is to promise myself I will re-listen to this one video should I find myself in that situation again before I start making my exit plans & preparations. Thank you Teal for reaching a part of me no one else has ever been able to. Validated, heard & understood 💯 which, as you say is one of the main things we want/need in those times - for our immense suffering to be truly recognised. 🙏
Synchronicity once again ❤ bless you all who felt the need to click on this video. We can overcome it. "There isn't a problem in this Universe that doesn't have a solution."
