I lost one of my best friends to an overdose a month ago and was definitely thinking some awful shit about wanting this pain to go away. So, thank you, Paddy

I love seeing them win both in the ring and in life. I'm in your corner, Scoucers, from deep in the forest mountains of Northern California, USA.

Is right

I had tears rolling down my eyes after that speech. No one understands that weight unless they go through it. Keep up the good work brotha.

I’ve spoken up and gotten help when I was 18 and was struggling and considering taking my life and it changed my life I am now on solid feet and moving forward in life. Men need to speak up because being honest about how you feel is the strong thing to do be quiet is the weak approach

I''ve had a female friend of mine that's been struggling with bipolar for several years and I can honestly say that engaging in the mental health system and keeping her friend network in the loop has kept her breathing on more than one occasion over this time. We have a roster system we kick in when things get really bad to make she she's supervised but it relies on her letting us know when she's on the edge. I've told her myself many times I'd rather I get called out to her place than to lose her. Talking, reaching out, finding ways to get through those key critical moments can't be overstated

Lad directly to the heart ❤ finally someone who uses his range properly! we all need to fix this toxic stigma of a man who doesn't cry, who is not allowed to show emotion!! paddy, love ya lad, keep up the good stuff!

That speech was so beautiful and moving.♥️ inspiring .

Im 61 years old, and I'm glad I lived long enough to see that the future is in good hands.

bro in tears at the beginning. So powerful. I love what you represent Paddy. Just great.

That postfight interview is what led me to your channel. I tried to take my own life in the summer of 2018. It was a super dark time but I was glad I didn't succeed and that I had not only my family but health professionals to help get me through it.. Thank you for saying what you did.

Before I even watch the video I wanna say thank you Paddy. You got a fan for life brother. Thank you

When I saw that speech the other week it made me cry. And my parents. We all need to do more for young men- just being there for them is a start Thanks Paddy!

Thanks for spreading the word on such an important topic that gets often overlooked. Much love from Australia 🇦🇺

A different kind of entertainment. I hope to see you fight in person one day. You're exceptional mate, can't wait till you come over and dominate the states.

Paddy if you see this - you're a legend. Struggled with mental health/suicidal thoughts for most of my adult life and what you did was astounding. Had tears in my eyes. Have a good time celebrating and smash some lad later this year!

You are the best. Thank you so much

Respect. I am fighting my battle every day. Thanks for highlighting the stigma on us. All love Paddy

So much respect for you speaking out and speaking up for men! Life is hard enough with the hoops we have to jump through just to put food on the table and paying rent. Relationship drama, and I've been down that road and even signed myself into treatment which really didn't do anything but it was nice to just talk with someone listening. Thank you for being so solid of a good man! Much love from across the pond 🇺🇲♥️

I hope this situation will be helpful and will give others strength to try to fight for themselves. You are big inspiration, big hug for You Paddy 🫂

Me and my brother lost our mother this year, now it's just us...no other family left. It's been hard to be positive for us, not trying to give in into depression and keeping each other sane and healthy. Trying to be "hard" just makes the emptiness worse so bless you Paddy for speaking up for those going through rough times. Keep your heads up, love your loved ones and be honest about your feelings. Bless all.

Kept me going man. I've been struggling for a few years now and am at the end of my patience and will to keep it up. It's tough out here boys. Just keep asking for help and you'll find relief eventually. Hope I find it soon.
