Tiktoker A man who once considered ending his life after his father’s sudden death has now found a new purpose—hosting TikTok sessions to support those struggling with mental health issues.
Connor Scott, 22, from Corby, Northamptonshire, runs these nightly support sessions on TikTok, offering comfort to those who feel alone during the darkest hours. With over 5,000 followers, he aims to be a voice for people who have no one to turn to late at night.
Scott’s life took a tragic turn on July 4, 2021, when his father unexpectedly passed away from a heart attack. He recalls, “It was the worst news I’ve ever received,” sending him into a deep emotional spiral. Things worsened when he experienced a breakup and a serious car accident.

One night, after a heated argument with loved ones, Scott left home, intending to end his life. But a single thought stopped him: “What would Dad say right now?”
His personal struggles led him to realize that many people feel utterly alone in the night, desperate for someone to talk to. “You don’t want to bother anyone, and you feel like a burden,” Scott said. “So I’m there, creating a safe, comfortable space for people to talk.”
His TikTok sessions, running from 11:30 PM to 4:00 AM BST, attract people from different countries, sharing their personal struggles. He reminds them, “There are people you haven’t met yet who will be grateful you made it through your journey. Everyone’s got a reason to live.”
Looking ahead, Scott plans to start a podcast called “Pros and Conz” to help block out life’s negativity and wants to write stories featuring his beloved dog, Womble, who came into his life the same day his father passed.
