Warning: This article contains discussion of suicide which some readers may find distressing.

Asking for help can be a lot harder that some people expect, and when it comes to internet personalities, the trolls are quick to turn on them in the comments.

Still, one famous face from YouTube has been praised for a video simply titled 'Help', proving that it's always okay to say if you're not okay.

Better known as Jacksepticeye, Sean McLoughlin has raised awareness toward mental health in his latest video, with one little word ringing out across the internet.

Questioning if it feels like the internet is getting angrier all the time, McLoughlin says he feels anxious by the state of the world online. Suggesting that it's easier to be angry and hate things than do 'anything decent,' he's worried he's seeing it more than ever.

Blaming the internet algorithms for this latest deluge of negativity, Jacksepticeye says it's only highlighted the differences between people and made some 'sit inside their bubbles' and throw rocks at each other. He goes on to highlight how war and politics are making people more entrenched in their beliefs.

McLoughlin sombrely tells his viewers: "It's really difficult for anybody to go onto the internet these days and just exist without being dragged into something that's going on."

Jacksepticeye says that he's previously struggled with his own mental health and continues to, adding: "I don't think that it's something you ever figure out and get on top of, but you can definitely get better tools, better help."

He revealed some harrowing statistics that suicide can be attributed to one death every 11 minutes in the USA, while the World Health Organization claims that more than a billion people around the world are currently facing mental health difficulties - this is around one eighth of the planet.

The video is part of a larger campaign for Thankmas 2024, where McLoughlin has partnered with the Crisis Text Line and Samaritans in the USA and UK. Tickets for Jacksepticeye Presents Thankmas 2024 are now available to buy, being held at Los Angeles' Orpheum Theatre on Friday, December 6.

Others in the comments have thanked McLoughlin for his honesty. "As a volunteer for crisis text line, thank you for this amazing work you're doing! The more we can bring awareness to our orgs, the more people we can help," said one.

Another added: "To the people saying, 'I was so worried when Jack titled it, Help.' you should be. This is such an important message that isn’t being taken seriously.

"Hate is so horrible and hate isn’t helping anyone. So help the internet, be that change that we need and try putting kindness into the world."

There were many echoing these sentiments, with someone concluding: "This was one of the best messages I've seen from a creator, period. Well said brother <3"

With Thankmas having already raised over $26 million, the sixth annual event looks to raise even more for mental health causes.

If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available through Mental Health America. Call or text 988 to reach a 24-hour crisis center or you can webchat at 988lifeline.org. You can also reach the Crisis Text Line by texting MHA to 741741.
