As a sufferer of chronic, debilitating depression and anxiety, Lee's death has had an impact on me that can't be fully described and due to the disconnect and brain fog that comes with this disease, I won't try. But Max, please know that there was NOTHING more you could have done. The beast that is clinical depression has a mind of its own. It doesn't know logic. It can't be reasoned with. It cannot be penetrated. To highlight that point, I have the most supportive, loving, patient, kind and compassionate husband who is a gifted listener. And yet my depression persists and I have been close to suicide many times, despite having a "great life" and an ideal marriage that many people will never attain. So PLEASE, Max, do not blame yourself. You are a kind and decent man, but at a time like this you are only going to see your own faults and shortcomings. Any perceived failures on your part did not cause Lee to take her life. Lee's personal monster did. None of Lee's loved ones could fight or win the battle for her because the battle was hers and hers alone. That is the nature of this horrid beast. Despite massive support and love, ultimately you have to fight it alone. Hugs to you and everyone who is grieving this indescribable loss. And my heart goes out to all those who suffer from this destructive and relentless disease.

I commented earlier but wanted to come back and say something about online hate talk. The worst thing most of us ever learnt in childhood was "Sticks and stones can break my bones but words will never hurt me." Wrong! Wrong! SO WRONG! I'm gonna quote the inimitable Tim Minchin: "Sticks and stones can break your bones, but words can break hearts." And now I want to quote Max from this vid: "Be kind." Kindness costs nothing, but it can be a gift beyond measure. Big love, Max.

I still can't imagine being able to sit down infront of the camera and speak about the loss of a loved one as candidly as you did.. It was heartbreaking, honest, and you spoke with your heart. Lee was, as you said, too good for this world, and everyone who followed her journey has had to grapple with that loss in some form or another. Sending you love as you pick up the pieces.

I am happy to say that I supported Lee earlier this year when she was attacked for using the “Max and Lee” channel to show videos of Jordan and her. I am happy to say that Lee responded personally to me so I feel like she heard my words of encouragement. At 68, I am a lifelong sufferer of depression. I understood what I saw in Lee’s last vlogs. She was trying so hard to appear happy and “normal.” But it was not really her. She was fighting depression the best way she knew how. Sadly, for all of us, Lee chose suicide to end her pain. She suffers no more. I think “we” have been waiting to hear from you Max. I have to say that through it all, I never felt like you quit supporting Lee. I don’t feel like you judged her for introducing Jordan on your shared channel. Your feelings and love for each other was deeper than any pettiness could destroy. My heart aches for you. May you heal and know that only Lee could save Lee. She knew she was loved. Sometimes it just doesn’t matter. Sometimes it’s not the “cure.” Love to all. And for all who suffer from depression, please, if nothing else, take it one day at a time. Tomorrow could be the best day of your life. 😎✌️🤙🤘😎

I have suffered depression and anxiety on and off for 30+years. As a nurse, spending all my time treating/healing others, everyday I would put on a smiley mask so that people around me wouldn't see that I was dying inside. I have been close to the edge a few times and have needed crisis intervention. When you come back from the edge you realise how bloody scarey it is being in that place. I know people say its a permanent solution to a temporary problem but its not that easy. When you are that close to the edge, you don't want to die, and leave all your friends and family, you don't want them to hurt as much as you do right in that moment, all you want is for the pain to stop, and quite often you will have tried many other ways and means of solving or treating the problem and none of it works, and ending it all seems to be the only answer. What you have to remember is that when you get to that point you are not seeing things clearly or rationally, you know your family and friends love you but that doesn't ease your pain. It is not something you can just "snap out off" or "pull yourself together". When my mood is low and I'm reacting to things I can hear myself saying that I'm being totally unreasonable but thats the chemical imbalance I'm my brain. So yes before you speak your mind, either verbally or written think, is it correct, is it necessary, is it kind because you never know the impact those words could have on someone else. You don't know what they are dealing with and your words could be the last straw. If you disagree with someone's post, and you can't be nice scroll by. Like @Max and Occy said if you see someone else being unkind, report them. I understand there were some who were very unkind to Lee on social media and that must have affected her massively with her struggles, and whilst we don't know what it was exactly that drove her to that drastic action that day, I'm sure some of those harsh words would most undoubtedly will have stuck with her. Trolling, bullying and harassment is unforgivable. Lee, sweetheart, I hope you have found peace from your struggles, God bless you, you beautiful young woman. Please watch over your loved ones and keep them all safe. 💜💜💜

She chose to no longer be my friend and I can live with that. I am truly saddened by the loss of Lee. She was a vibrant, beautiful young women who was stronger than she realized.

Having worked in emergency mental health I’ve seen the aftermath of these calls and so often I’ve seen people heal and apologize for being angry with the people who loved them enough to save their life even though it was a risk to their relationship. Even if you never get an apology you did the right thing. It takes a strong and empathetic person to risk a close relationship for the greater good. 💙 hoping the best for your friend, and for you.

Thank you Tommy. You just described what I felt for a very long time. The only thing stopping me was the pain would be unbearable to my mom. Losing my dad in 2014 was difficult for us both . But being the only person,by law, to have to decide to pull the plug on my uncles (her baby brother) life support in 2012 was unimaginable. I could not put her through anymore pain. I was grateful that I resources to reach out to for help. And it saddens me, yet does not surprise me, that she could not get the medical care in the US that was desperately needed. Please, everyone reading these com comments, if you are struggling reach out to someone , anyone. And those who don’t suffer from any form of depression, remember this time. No one, not one person should ever be denied mental health care in this,the so called greatest country in the world. Perhaps we should suspend using that title until we actually begin acting like it. A beautiful soul was lost and as easy as it is to point fingers, we all should look in the mirror. If you do not like you reflection, seek help. If you are sad , angry , and are tired of losing people to suicide and depression, reach back and help those in need . Pull them close . And fight for more access for all and especially mental health care. Some of us are just a family members death away from the unknown. #SPEAKUPFORLEE

Max, I have followed you, Lee & Occy since the very beginning. The three of you brought a tremendous amount of joy to life over the years. The loss of Lee is absolutely soul crushing. I was driving when I got the notification of Lee's passing and I literally yelled, Nooooo! I have mourned her death in a way I didn't think was possible for a person that I'd never met. She was a LIGHT and will continue to be a light through all of us! Her energy is still here. Her essence is still here. ❤ I've struggled with depression this year in a big way... pretending to be okay. I don't do that anymore. I've spoken out about my own mental health struggles with friends who have in turn done the same. Lee and I share the same spirit and energy. When she said that she had lost her joy and felt like she had nothing left to give to the people around her... I felt this in my core. I'm a fixer, a hugger, a laugher, a "counselor", a listener, a cheerleader and above all a lover. On my bad days, I share the sentiment of those words. My purpose in this life is to love people just as they are. My "energy" is a gift for other people and without it I feel like I'm unable to contribute. Lee's life and death have greatly impacted my life. She was one of the most beautiful souls and I believe you're correct in saying that she was too good for this world. I'm sending so much love to you and Occy and everyone who loved Lee. 🙏 - Sasha Leigh

As a person who is very sensitive and who has suffered from depression and anxiety for most of my 53 years, I have spent many intense moments months where it has taken every ounce of my being to stay alive when I wanted so desperately to not be here. I get mental illness and I am so sorry that this beautiful human being fell victim to its devastating power of pulling her under. It is so sad and my thoughts are with all her love and are grieving for her. This life is full of highs and lows and for some of us the lows are just too overwhelming and we get extremely tired. Rest peacefully Lee, I hope that you are now free from your torment and pain. ❤

Depression is a horrible disease. I too was a very outgoing and confident person, then in my late 20’s depression set in. I have been on antidepressants since then and now I am in my sixties. I am a loner and that is how I cope. Watching you and all the other van lifers is my escape, you have all helped me soooo much. You are all my extended family. It is difficult to talk out because people just don’t want to know, I don’t even speak with my three daughters as I know it upsets them and they worry about me. I am OK so long as I remember my meds. I fought against taking medication as I felt such a failure but now realise it is a chemical imbalance and not my ability to move past it. My heart goes out to you and Lee’s family and everyone effected by this great loss. We owe it to Lee to move on with our lives and enjoy ourselves, have fun and help each other, that is what she would want us to do. Thinking of you Max and Occy. 😘🙏🏻🙏🏻

Brother, let me tell you that was straight courage making this video. I’m terribly sorry for your loss. Over these past couple years I’ve followed your journey together and there was no doubt of the love and bond you two shared in all of the incredible experiences discovered together. It was Occy that first brought me into your world. An Aussie lover seeing an Australian Shepard in Costa Rica? So cool. Then I watched every episode over time and I am grateful for all of it. I grieve with you for Lee was an old soul. As you said, too good for this time. Yet this is just a part of your own journey, and watching this I felt relieved and gutted. So now you must move forward and I will follow your journey, as we all will. And we will always love and remember Lee by spreading the message #SPEAKUPFORLEE You are loved mate. Now you and Occy keep sending us a postcard now and then...🐺

Try it with a few people......some people even said to me, I’ve not thought about it like that but now you’re are asking; I am feeling pretty shitty lately!

@@sahar2629 same with me, and I'm 61 yrs young. Covid lockdown didn't bother me , but living around negative energies did. I'm in an environment of mostly mental people. My grandson, whom I raised from birth, is ,24 yrs old has schizophrenia. I don't have anyone to help me, the grandfather don't care, uncle don't care, the other half brother don't care. He works but refuse medical help. When he graduated from high school, he stop taking medications. I've worn myself out taking care of necessary business for him along with household matters. I appreciate everyday he goes to work. I'm taking a mild antidepressant to cope. My entire life has been spent taking care of my siblings responsibilities, parents, kids, and never having the chance to accomplish my dreams. You're not alone in this. I look out the window before I go outside cause I don't want to run into any of these nut cases. Mainly the environment I'm in is causing my depression and anxiety. I'm looking for a place to relocate, but I will let my Dr know what I'm going through. I'm considering seeling counselling too. Hope the best for you ❤. Stay blessed and safe 💞.

Max, that was a life changing heart felt video. Thank you so much for opening up and talking to us about it. It takes a very brave and caring man to do that and Lee would be so proud you. She was an exceptional person and will probably achieve more in her death than she did in her short lifetime as Lee's Legacy will live on forever in the hearts of everyone who loved her or watched her videos. She will help change lives and hopefully people will speak out more and lose the stigma of mental illness. I am sending a link to this video to my beloved daughter who is fighting this illness, in the hope that it will help her to keep going. She will be 20 in a few days time and has spent the last 4 years in hospital feeling like life is not worth living. I hope and pray everyday that she will find the strength to carry on fighting to get well. Maybe seeing Lee's story will help and seeing how those left behind are suffering with her loss. Sending you hugs across the miles. Stay strong and remember we are all here for you. xx

You don't have to share it publicly if that's not right for you anymore. We'll miss you, but we'll understand.

I was dealing with helping my aunt through chemo, caregiving for my disabled mom, and eventually the passing of my aunt who lost her battle with lung cancer. I was there to hold her hand in the hospital while she took her last breath. It’s not easy. Life can get tough. Like you I didn’t reach out to friends, I foolishly thought they should be reaching out to me. Thank you for making this video. I’ve been touched by her life, her story, her light.

Max this was a beautiful tribute to Lee. We think nothing of taking medicines for health issues such as diabetes, high blood pressure or arthritis but when it comes to mental health there is a stigma. We have to stop acting like something is wrong by taking care of our mental health. The brain is one of the most complex wonderful parts of each person. We need to take care of that wonderful creation the brain and our mental health and not feel like we have to hide it. Please Max take care of yourself and let Occy help you out because animals have a way of helping us so much. Reach out to friends and family when you need to. You have to remember you were in a bad place so do not start taking on the weight of what could I have done. No one has those answers. Remember the good times her laughs and smiles and love for you and Occy. I have started watching a fellow country man of yours Doggy Daycare Farm Trips and he talks about how dogs have helped him after leaving the military and the health issues and depression that follow. His KZitem channel has brought smiles and warms my heart with the power of dogs. Maybe you and Occy could visit them Occy would love it. Take care of yourself Max. Lee will be remembered through all the videos you have all put out as such an outgoing and wonderful person.

I'm glad the world had Lee and that she shared her life experiences. It can be difficult to be vulnerable. Many ppl can't handle that from a person. Lee was brave to continue sharing. I am very sad that in the end she only saw flying away as the only way out. My condolences to all her family, extended family, and friends. She was a bright light to all. Lights that shine that bright cannot be extinguished. She will continue to shine through all of you. My faith tells me she is safe, whole, and comforted in love now...and forever. 🙏⚘

Dear, dear Max, Lee's passing has hit me in such a profound way. I understood that she was struggling with mental health issues, but I found her impossibly inspirational, healthy and happy. Her passing has rattled my soul in such a profound way and I think it is due to her unmistakably beautiful soul. I miss her and we never met. I can't quite comprehend how this unbelievable loss affects you, her family and closest friends. My heart is with you. Please see yourselves healing. She would want that. Much 💘

It’s really hard because I think the internet is one of the biggest things that pushed her into the depression, but it also allowed her to positively impact so many people. She touched so many people’s hearts and will continue to touch people ❤️ I really really wish she decided to stay in Canada near the end instead of going to California. She needed her friends and family so much more than she realized. She’s such a strong woman, but sometimes we need to be closer to our support system. I’ve had depression since I was 10 years old or maybe younger. Never been on meds, but it really helped to have certain people I could depend on and going in and out of therapy. Mental health is no joke. The worst thing is someone with depression, they try so hard to make sure others around them don’t ever feel the same pain as they feel every single day. Which is also why she was such a bright light and there for so many people. ❤️❤️ My heart is with you and everyone of her friends and family. She was way too good for this world and she didn’t deserve any of the online bullying. Ps. My DMs are open if you need anything Max

This came back up onto my feed almost 3 years after her passing. Lee had such an impact on me and she still continues to influence the way I go through my day to day life. Lee showed us that your struggles aren’t to be fought on our own. She showed us the importance of community and transparency. Thank you Lee ❤

Max, this video breaks my heart. You are a wonderful person and Lee knew that. Please don't feel guilty, people who struggle with depression and anxiety live a never ending battle inside their mind, no one can really help. But if you want to do something for her, keep spreading her message. Please, reach out if you need someone to talk to.

I sit here crying after watching this. I will miss Lee. I came across your channel by accident and never left either of you. I feel this. She was a gift. Thank you for sharing.
