Asmongold opens up on mental health struggles in candid Twitch stream Twitch: asmongoldDuring a stream on September 11, Asmongold shared a candid moment with viewers where he discussed his struggles with mental health and suicidal thoughts. Asmongold is one of the most popular MMO steamers on Twitch, but recently opened up to fans about the struggles he\u2019s had with mental health as a result. When a user donated and asked if he\u2019d ever \u201cfelt like Reckful (who took his own life in 2020) unironically.\u201d Asmon gave an honest answer that initially concerned fans before the streamer provided reassurance. Trigger warning: This article contains details regarding self harm, depression, and suicidal thoughts. Reader discretion is advised. \u201c\u2018Do you ever feel how Reckful felt unironically?\u2019 I probably shouldn\u2019t say this, I\u2019ve wanted to kill myself many times, yeah, absolutely,\u201d Asmon revealed during the stream. If you check out the chat while Asmon was saying this, there is an outpouring of love and support for the streamer, but at the same time worry for the concerning comments from viewers. \u201cWhat a f***ing segway,\u201d Asmon added. \u201cYeah, many many times, I\u2019m just too much of a p****y to do it, don\u2019t worry about it I\u2019ll be fine, I\u2019m not going anywhere.\u201d His chat was, as we said, more than supportive after the streamer made these comments, but they still caused plenty of concern among fans. However, he said it was something he\u2019d been wanting to talk about for awhile, and would be making changes to his stream in the future. \u201cI\u2019d like to take down some of the super high energy stuff I do, and just try to have a little bit more of, just me,\u201d Asmon said. \u201cNot a bunch of crazy bulls***t, not a bunch of weird showmanship, just me. Just me streaming us having fun together, and relaxing.\u201d Mental health has become a huge issue not just on Twitch, but with internet personalities and creators as a whole. Asmon certainly isn\u2019t alone in his struggles, either, so if you happen to tune into him in the near future, be sure to show the WoW OG some love. If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts, or know anyone that is, and you would like to talk to someone, please reach out and call the Suicide Prevention Helpline 1-800-273-8255 (USA), the Samaritans 116-123 (UK), or Lifeline 13-11-14 (AUS).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
