STAY - Inspirational Video

When you lose control of your own mind,

you're in bad place.

I know it affects so many people in so many different ways

and it's a silent killer.

It's almost like carbon monoxide poisoning.

You can't smell it, you can't taste it, you can't feel it. But you die.

So many people take their lives on a daily basis with mental health problems,

and others look at them and say "he was a weak person" or "she was a weak person".

We're not weak, you just need help.

Why did that hit you, you were the champion of the world? You were the baddest man on the planet.

It wasn't after the fight. I've been suffering with my whole life.

Have you ever been left behind somewhere, when everyone else is going somewhere and you're left.

That's how I feel on a regular basis and I didn't know what it was.

When you fell into that depression, how dark was it?

It was terrible, I was thinking about suicide every day.

I put on 147 pounds, I was taking drugs on a daily basis, I was drinking on a daily basis, I was gone.

I was making everybody's life a misery,

everybody who was close to me was pushed away.

You've got a man who's got three kids at that time, who wants to die, on a daily basis.

It's not good place is it to be in.

And I was in my car and got the car up to 190 miles an hour.

I was heading towards that bridge.

I didn't care about nothing I just wanted to die so bad. I give up on life.

And just as I was heading towards that bridge at 190. I heard a voice, say " No."

"Don't do this Tyson, think about your kids."

"Think about your family and your little boys and girls growing up with no father."

Two and a half year later I've decided to make a comeback.

It was mission impossible to be honest with you at first. Everybody thought he was finished.

I don't believe I would have been here today if I didn't come back training. I definetyly woudn't made it.

You didn't see me. No one saw me. No camera saw what was going on.

But I saw what was going on.

I don't even think he's going to get up. I think it's all over.

We couldn't see from the angle whether your eyes were open or closed. Were you out?

Yeah. For few seconds.

And then what went through your mind?

The same things that goes through 90% of fighters minds when they are down.

It's what we taught from kids. When you get put down, you get back up.

I think it's over, is he going to get up. Can he get up?

He does.

Oh my Goodness, somehow Fury has managed to get up.

Well that's mainly most of the reasons I'm back.

Is to show people who's living in darkness that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Everybody out there who has the same problems I've been suffering with. I did that for you guys.

And it won't be great day everyday. I used to wake up and think why did I woke up? Why did I not die in sleep last night.

Life is about not having a smooth road every single day. It's about hurdles we have to overcome to find who were really are in life.

And if I can comeback from where I come from, then you can do it to.

Every day for two years was very gray and dark for me,

but it will come back again, you will have sunshine days again.
