And RIP, mental illness is a really tough thing to deal with.

My condolences.

I really liked Reckful. His laughter and jokes used to brighten me up when he played Hearthstone and League of Legends. I also knew about his depression from years ago, people are very vulnerable with these conditions.

I have deep sadness in my heart. I hope his parents are safe. Rest in peace, Byron.

It's sad.

Mental health isn't taken seriously nowadays.

Oh well, nobody cares in the end.

Man, he was so young. Really is tragic.

Speaking from experience, mental illness is impossible to deal with in a healthy manner without help. Whether that help takes the form of therapy, medication, or just a friend who will listen, it doesn't matter. Don't do it alone. There are resources out there. Fuck, private message me if you need to. I'd sit through 20 people who just want to fuck with me if I can legitimately help one person.

"Anxiety is your mind's ability to look at the future and predict problems. That's all it is. A future predicting capability. The problem is that you worry so much, that the worry sorta controls your behavior. Anxiety is just trying to protect you, it's not trying to do bad to you. The first thing you wanna understand to conquer your anxiety, it's that. It's just way too sensitive. There's ways to calm down that sensitive part but first you need to stop demonizing it."

This was one of the conversations he had with someone on a stream, and that person said this. I think it's important, for everyone that has anxiety and struggles with it.

This is good advice but sadly I think Byron's issues extended far and beyond simple anxiety.

He worked with him, always. And he expresses how him giving up caused to him. Yes, there's severe anxieties that are not simple enough with just this advice even being a good one.

Here's the video if you want to watch. It's the first time i see him breakdown.

Oof. That was hard to watch.

I've never been a huge fan of Dr. K but watching a grown man break down like that... yikes. You can tell he genuinely cared about him as a person and the hurt he's experiencing must be immeasurable. Mental illness sucks.

Yes, definitely hard to watch. He for sure cared about Reckful a lot.

No clue who this was but still sad news, seems he inspired many.

Rest in peace Reckful. Your contribution to the gaming community will never be forgotten.

To everyone else - you matter. You are never alone. Reach out, talk to someone.

I'm sorry he died (sorry anyone died) but I really wish people would stop making streamers into news.
