Talking Depression with Reckful

RIP Reckful, you will always be remembered as a legend.

This.. is extremely tough to come back to now, rest in peace :(

Reckful reminds me a lot of a quote that Robin Williams said, "I think the saddest people always try their hardest to make people happy because they know what it's like to feel absolutely worthless and they don't want anyone else to feel like that."... RIP Byron... I wish the world was better to you... I didn't know you but I will miss you...

I never knew Byron had a brother who also committed suicide. God that's fucking awful... Imagine his parents... Knowing they lost 2 kids so early due to grave mental health issues. Super fucking sad man.

“I’ll try not to kill myself anytime soon” Man that hurts to hear. Rip Byron.

This is absolutely heartbreaking.

The saddest part of this is Byron was so smart AND KNEW exactly what was wrong, but it still couldn't save him, and that is terrifying to me.

I remember seeing Byron one time in a store in Austin, and I didn't want to approach him because he was with some friends. I was so excited because I had been watching him since I was a kid. This was a couple of weeks before he passed. His passing was quite possibly the first 'celebrity' passing that hit me hard because he was such a huge part of my childhood. RIP Byron, you will never be forgotten <3

Reckful jokes he won't kill himself. Damn hits harder now that he's gone.1:10:46

man its crazy to think he really is gone, rip reckful.

So sad to know that Reckful is no longer with us. He was a gentle, kind soul and he will be missed.

I am personally in a very tough spot right now and I am coming back to this video hoping it may help me push through. Byron bud, send me strength along with Etika. Rest well buddy.

He probably helped THOUSANDS of people through showing and being so open about his problems.. Sadly no one could save him. RIP Byron. You seem like the nicest guy.

I cried watching this 6 months ago. Cried again when I got the news about his death. Thank you Byron for having the courage to speak openly about your depression. RIP.

As someone who has struggled with depression for many years now, I can genuinely say I have never ever been able to relate and understand someone explain their feelings like Reckful does, I feel it so deep down. I didn’t watch him too much for gaming unfortunately but he has such a pure soul and is so insightful. It can break you down and makes you feel powerless at times yet Reckful always appeared to be so selfless and real. Its devastating his battle ended how it did but I hope he has found true happiness and the sense of purpose he felt as if he was lacking. Fly high and rest in paradise❤️ and to anyone out there battling depression, we will get through this and conquer it.. the quest to happiness may seem like a never ending battle but it is a battle worth fighting and a battle we must win. Lastly, only spread positivity around the world and to people, put yourself in their shoes - you never know what they are dealing with, one kind soul or nice interaction could be all they needed to turn their mood/day around. Love you all and please love yourselves :)

This series has gotten me through so much, I have seen it through more times than I can count. As sad as it ended, this is one of the most important looks into mental health documented, and we should never take it for granted. RIP reckful, an incredible man that I grew up watching and admiring, All of these videos have so much value even though it unfortunately ended tragically. We got to see the beauties and passion, as well as the tragedies in his life before he left.

When Reckful started crying I couldn’t hold it in anymore, fuck... this Man will be missed forever. Thanks for 8 years that I have known you. I love you Byron. RIP we will see again

I feel so so so bad for Byron's parents, losing both their sons. This shit sucks, I don't even know what to say. Its so depressing...much love to anyone reading this, we're all gonna make it. Stay strong everyone.

This was truly meaningful. Not only what doctor K excellent at finding the root of the problem but the honesty and grace in how Reckful responded made this a profound experience for me. I really got to like you Byron, during these 2 hours and I'm grateful for your time here with us, however shortlived. Rest in peace Reckful.
