This video blew up. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing that so many people searched for it. But I'm at least glad that these words could be there for you guys. Whatever you're going through know that it's temporary and that this too shall pass. If this video meant anything for you would truly appreciate any support on becoming a fulltime creator myself :) www.buymeacoffee.com/keepitwholesome Much love -Simon

I love you. Whoever is reading this... I love you and we´re gonna be okay

For anyone reading this, I hope you're ok

It's been 3 years since you posted this, Simon. I've just been having the worst time lately, and I'm currently crying into my phone screen. Thanks for this.

I literally was contemplating ending it today... this video saved my life. Thank you so much, Simon.

It's crazy how a stranger can make you feel more like home than your own people:')

I cried at the part when he said “I’m proud of you” because I didn’t hear anyone say that to me in such a long time

I won't lie, this probably saved my life.

No one cares about how you feel until it turns into anger and suddenly you turn into a bad person. I am a kind of person who takes care of my loved ones no matter what situation I am in but I am the one who is always left alone.

I was feeling so sad today that I literally searched 'a video to watch when you are sad ' on UKposts. I saw this video and all I want to say is thank you .I feel more positive now. Edit: it's been an year nd today I saw that my comment blew up. Tbh in this one year I've learned nd improved a lot! Reading all the replies left me sad as though I've recovered but still there are people who are sad nd could relate to what I felt an year ago. EVERYONE I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT BELIVE IN YOURSELF ik it isn't easy not even for me but YOU ARE MORE THAN WHAT YOU THINK i wish that everyone who commented is getting better each day .MUCH LOVE💗

"You have so much time" I really needed that. Everyone says "lifes short" and "every day could be your last" and that really puts pressure on me

I'm 59 and have 3 grown children. I'm not thinking of suicide, just trying to get through the day. Thank you.

I was literally crying and I still am

Simon you said “…you’re probably under 20”. I’m 50. I needed this. Today. I searched for it. And found you. I sincerely feel better now. Thank you.

I was actually on the verge of tears scrolling through tiktok to try and feel better but it didn't work. Thank you.

This world is filled with good people. And this video's comments prove it. Thank you family of humanity. And Simon.

"i'm proud of you for making it this far" made me shed tears idk why

I am 75 years young. I stumbled on this video & watched it & have been reading comments posted. My heart breaks for you guys who are suffering & sad for whatever reason. Please consider yourselves hugged. It has inspired me to get out & talk to young people who lack a supportive environment & encourage them in their journey. Loving thoughts & special blessings to each of you.

“you don’t have to love it now but hold on to it” I think I’ll remember this line forever.

Whoever is reading this comment, I’m so proud of you. We’ll be ok, keep going.

I have ADHD, anxiety, depression and SPD. as a member of the neurodivergent community, I thank you for taking time out of your amazing life to make this. I was searching "how to stop crying" after my younger brother attempted suicide for the sixth time. I am sending prayers and love to all who are reading this, and everyone who aren't. I hope you heal, and remember that everything takes time. remember that someone will always love you, even if it doesn't seem like it, and you have a true meaning to live.

Just seeing this. literally just typed in " a video to watch when youre sad" and this came up first. Thank you. I hope you have a good day.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I really needed this after the past few days I’ve had. This comment is my promise to never hurt myself on purpose ever again. And to whoever is reading this, I hope one day you can make that promise too. ❤

This is the only video that made me cry so hard. I am 12 and I’m struggling with depression and anxiety and I really just need someone to hug me and to tell me I’m going to be okay whatever I’m going through thank you.

it’s insane that a single video on UKposts can make you feel more alive and worth something than anyone in your entire life

I’ve been crying for the past 20 minutes I wish there was more people in the world like you.

the “love you so much” at the end made me bawl. love u too and to everyone who’s here.

Every day i watch this video to make myself feel good..... it's officially 1 year of watching this video and it's my first comment on your video after watching you since 1 year ..........if you are reading it i wanna thank you so much to make me feel good you are the only one that make me feel special .

Holy fuck this made me cry....thank you, I didn't realize how much I needed this

I'm crying louder and louder with every word he says Well, at least I feel that I'm still alive

You don't know how much I needed this right now. I gotta be honest, I didn't think that a person I came to know 13 seconds ago could be nicer and give more comfort than my own family. Thank you for this...

everything sucks ive been living just to live. im only here for people that love me. thank you for this, really.

"Life is a mystery. You can try to understand it, but the best thing you can do is to just live it." -my father

Yes, I am under 20 and searched this video. It's 2:34 am and I'm currently crying because of the kind words I just heard

I’m a little more than 25% of my life but I needed to hear your message today

I just find it amazing how humans created art forms and now those art forms have helped people through their lives. Music, painting, films, someone came up with those and shared it with others. I legitimately think I would not be alive today without music. It's the one thing that has stayed consistent in my life. I can always rely on it. To the artists who have inspired, comforted, and saved others, keep making art. You never know how many people it may touch and change. -sincerely, a teen who's having a sucky day (but it won't always be like this)

When he said I’m proud of you I burst out crying No one ever tells me that Thank you so much You guys are so sweet thank you even though I commented 2 months ago you guys are still messaging things and replying and I get to see it and it makes me happy enough to keep going I love you guys and thank you so much

I was crying my eyes out watching this. We need more people like you, thank you.

I just turned 12 recently but this video helped a lot. I've been going through suicidal thoughts as well as having a severely mental ill sister (my age) who I have to hide all my problems from so that way I can keep her here. I've also been struggling in school and most likely have undiagnosed ADD (my parents refuse to listen when I suggest that my problems focussing are the result of a mental disorder and not laziness). I tried to end it all a few months ago but ended up stopping myself knowing it would probably end in my sister doing it to. Thank you Simon. I needed this.

I cried when he said " I'm proud of you. " b'cuz i haven't heard that sentence in my whole life.

Now this made me start crying more, being loved by people who aren’t family is better than getting love from family, you feel even more loved because someone you barely even know cares about you.

I cried when you said "I'm proud of you". I can't even begin to start trying to describe what I've been going through recently but hearing someone say they're proud of me means so much. Thank you.

"I'm proud of you" I broke into happy tears. I don't know what to say. He's more helpful then half the grown ups in the world

I come back here every month when I hit the rock bottom, today was one of those days. I had a blade in my hand and yet somehow I made it here. I cannot express how safe you have made me feel.

hugs to everyone that are not feeling okay. let's all take the rest that we deserve :))

"Keep waking up, keep fighting, keep laughing, keep smiling, keep crying, keep living" phew, definitely needed that today. Thank you

I'm 12, almost 13 at the time of writing this. I've come to this video a lot recently. I have Autism (potentially some type of anxiety disorder too) and have been battling with negative thoughts since I was quite young. I feel like I wasn't meant for this world sometimes, I'm surrounded by people who make me feel worse about myself and I can't escape it. Doesn't help that I'm too awkward to meet anyone. I also feel depressed about the current state of the whole world, like it could end at any moment. I've tried all the things that people say to do in order to get better but the thoughts keep coming back. This video helps me somewhat ground myself and thank you for that.

I was crying today,mostly because i realized i had noone,i realized all of my friends are toxic,not a single one made me feel i’m worth something,today i found out that my closest friend i have,is no better then all my other,my family is no better,i felt alone,and cried and searched this up and this made me happier

I'm 37 years old. Going through the worst depression I've ever felt after the passing of my father. This video is extremely helpful. Thank you.

The most bitter parts of life makes the sweeter parts sweeter

I was crying before I found this and now I’m crying even more, to have someone that makes sure people are ok is so kind. Thank you for making my day! EDIT: TYSM FOR THE LIKES HECK

Sent this to a sad friend, hope he feels better

Though this was posted about three years ago, I just wanted to say (because I just stumbled across this), I had an argument with a friend that I hold closer than a magnet. She brought me so much joy and made me feel loved. I’ve been feeling so down and depressed, this video made me cry for an hour. I realize that it’s people like you who we need more of. I love you Simon, and anyone else who watches this.

I’ve been crying so much recently and got betrayed by all of my friends and no one cared. It feels so nice to hear these words again

i am in a mental state worse than it’s ever been. life has gotten so complicated i really wanted to give up. i didn’t think i was strong enough to get through these things but hey, here i am. and so are you guys. thank you for this beautiful message; and to everyone going through difficult times, you aren’t alone. and it’ll get better❤

I lost someone who's important to me, my three dogs died, my parents almost got separated, and there's no one I can open up to because they're too busy. That's why I'm here to find motivation to live because I feel I cannot do this anymore, and I saw this, I started crying and imagining the beautiful things, thank you so much❤

i have been extremely sad and stressed for the last year this video finally made me cry thank you for posting this. i dont know how to express my feelings or how to help others but i just want to say you are loved i hope u hear this more often.

when he said “i’m proud of you” i started ballin

No joke I cried within the first minute. I'm just so thankful to hear someone say this.

Thanks man. The pain just wont go away sometimes and this helps.

I know this came out 3 years ago but it still help me go through my anxiety attack

I’ve never cried so much. I just feel so empty. It’s sad that I need to search this up to feel beter but it worked I guess. This was the first time someone said that they are proud of me

Me on the verge of tears before the video started and then he goes “ I’m here for you, I’m proud of you for making it this far, I’m sorry if you don’t get that enough, but I’m proud of you.” I am now bawling my eyes out.

Thank you so much my cat died and I’m crying,a scratched couch is all I have left of her,thank you for making me feel better I’m still a kid I’m 11 and I can’t believe a stranger made me feel this way I owe you my happiness Simon.

I just typed into my search bar videos to watch when sad and this is making me cry. Not out of sadness but the beauty and positivity behind it. Also I think I needed to let the tears out. Thank You ❤

as a 14 year old suffering with pretty bad mental illnesses and depression this video is so nice to come back to

i’d be lying if i said i didn’t tear up because of this video i really needed this thank you simon

As someone who gets bullied by other students at my school and my older brother at my house, I come to this whenever I feel suicidal… 😢

“i’m proud of you” made me tear up fast

From the stranger on the internet who loves you :) (Not mine but please spread it around, everyone deserves even just a little bit of love.)

I really needed to hear this today. I’ve been feeling really lost lately and this is exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you.

"you are only less then 25% through your life", I was really close to being 100% through, I just got back from the hospital after a suicide attempt, thank you for this video, it really helps :)

this video make me feel good again even after my mom was yeeling at me thanks bro

I’m so glad I found this.... I might only be 12 but I’m in so much pain and I want it to stop...I have mental breakdowns every day and cry myself to sleep every night. I don’t have someone to tell me, “It will get better.” So I watch this. I promise I’m not going to give up, I will try my best to find my purpose and my happiness. I want to have a reason and continue this life... thank you so much for spreading positivity, I will continue to try and see the beauty in this world, I really needed to hear this and know that I’m not alone. Thank you.

just hearing that simple " im here for you " made me break down

I have to put my dog down come Sunday, and I’m kinda just feeling empty and really burned out, but this video actually made me look on the bright side. I know there isint much to make good out of putting your dog down, but it just made me think that this hardship is one of many ups and downs and I shouldn’t dwell on things that may not be relevant in a year. Thank you.

I will not say "don't cry". Just love crying. Realize that: your tears make you relax, prove that you are still feeling something, you are still alive... If you are reading this, you are living. Thanks for you're alive 💜

Im 27. Lost my father a month ago in a car crash. Im only beginning to feel things now. But im still here. Still going. I hope I get to meet him soon. Life feels empty without you dad. I hope wherever you are, you are the happiest

thank you man, a few hours ago i lost one of my 4 day old kittens, and its really messed me up because i feel like i could have done something to prevent it, but i wasnt able to. i just really need comfort so the fact that i saw this video really helped me.

I can’t do this anymore i hate that moments when you burst into tears in your room and realise that no one knows how unhappy you are and u constantly feel so fucking unwanted and unappreciated. I think I’ll always suffer no matter what💔

i came here after a bad breakdown and it’s currently 7am writing this with tears in my eyes, i felt so fed up and tired of feeling depressed and hating myself and i wanted to end it all. this video put a smile on my face, thank you

"I'm proud of you" No one has ever said this to me. You have no idea how much I cried while watching this.

I'm crying while watching this, and I still am.

I’ve been struggling really bad lately. I feel alone all the time, uncared for and unloved. This made me feel a bit better. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Surprised seeing so many people are touched by the "I'm proud of you", including me. To the ones reading this, I hope you heal from whatever has broken you and you come out of it stronger! Have faith and everything will be alright in the end.

I was bursting out crying when he said “I’m proud of you..” thank you.

it hurts just getting hurt by the ones who say they love you

This one might fix me... I teared up. Thank you. Doing a guardian angel's work.

Thank you. I didn't know how much I needed this. As a failing high school student who seems to not exist to anyone, and has multiple mental issues that cause panic attacks and anxiety, I thank you for making this video. You may just be some random stranger online, but for me it has been far too long since I have heard someone say "I'm proud of you." Thank you for making my day, and maybe even my whole week, better.

I’m 63 and living in a nursing home. I almost died of pneumonia 3 years ago and was on life support for several weeks. I feel so grateful that I’m still alive today. I lost my soulmate 5 years ago from suicide. I’m still grieving but I’m going on with my life. I’m grateful for my family and friends. Yet there are times when I feel sad because I can’t go out and do things anymore. I never had kids but I, close with my sister and her kids.. I felt sad today and I accidentally came across you video on UKposts while I was looking for a song. It was definitely Divine Intervention that I found it. I saw it and it made me feel more positive even though it was aimed for young people who have a whole life in front of them. Older people still benefit with your video and I just wanted to thank you. I hope your life is filled with hope and happiness.

i started looking at my life now as if I was viewing it from the future where im 40, and feeling empathy for my kid self. One day this moment is going to be just a memory and im going to wish i could feel all the intense joy and pain I have now, again. Im going to wish i loved the people in my life and myself harder. Im going to miss all the little things i took for granted like community at school and learning things for the first time like friendship and love. Even though it’s so hard to feel hopeful and purposeful now, I’m going to try to appreciate these beautiful short moments before they’re just a memory.

"But I'm proud of you." If only I could ever get my dad to tell me this! 😢

I may or may not be only 11... I really needed this... ❤️

"we are all here for you" that line touch my heart

I felt like i was gonna cry so bad so i searched "i want to cry" on youtube, i found this video to watch if you're sad, so i watched it, and throughout the video i couldn't stop crying, but you made me feel better and you made me smile so thank you Simon for making me feel a bit more happy. p.s I subscribed

When you said “I’m proud of you” my heart melted, my parents hated me and no one has ever said that to me; thank you ☺️

I’m so glad I found this video. I’ve been struggling so much lately, and have thought about things like death. I’ve been going through heartbreak but nobody understands how much I love him. It’s been almost a year and I don’t know why I’m still stuck on him. I know I’m young, but I’m still in so much pain.

You're video is really a blessing who is sad or feeling lonely out there

I'm heartbroken, again. I got no shoulder to rest my head on and I feel betrayed by the person who I thought loved me more than anything i don't have friend anymore
