You and isp got me into loving hoi4. Love watching your videos.

i've struggled with both anxiety and depression and it's never an easy battle. i struggle with fatigue a lot as well (thanks multiple sclerosis!) thank you for sharing your journey and you have a wonderful community to support you during this, keep your head and keep on rambling you rambler you! ❤don't forget to take care of yourself dude. whatever you need to do, don't forget you.

Alex, you've given a lot of joy over the years and got me into HOI4, and i learned a lot about it from you.

My 12 year old son introduced me to your channel and ever since then we have sat down togther to watch your videos regularly. We've had many a good hour replicating your videos in coop HOI, so thank you for your content and the joy you've brought to us. I'd also like to say thank you for your courage and openness about talking about your mental health which many will find motivational. All the best for the future.

From experience you never really get rid of stress, anxiety and depression. You learn to live with it, whether it be through therapy or medication or both.

Hey man, I very rarely comment because I have crippling anxiety which extends even to writing anoymously on the internet - madness. I just wanted to say that I understand and empathise deeply with everything that you brought up. I just wanted to say; good luck, you can do it, and remember to recognise improvement in yourself no matter how marginal it may at first seem. x

Many of us are or have been going through anxiety and depression, myself included. It takes a lot to admit to oneself that you have these issues. It shows strength that you can be open about this thing that many would consider mere weakness or lack of character (which is absolute bollocks). It is very admirable that you, Alex, with a big following and a platform to share your thoughts from, can come to us openly and tell us that things are difficult, since you are not really obliged to share this information with us. You didn't need to, but you chose to. And that's true strength of character IMO. From what I've gathered from your videos you are a humble, joyful, admittedly silly, respectful and great person, and I wish you all the best.

Keep strong Alex, having suffered from depression in the past, you got to focus on what you like and on the people that are close to you, that sometimes feel that they don't understand you but it will get better even when its all clouds and rain. Anxiety, well that's a different beast, I still struggle with that day to day, and 2024 isn't helping, losing my job, spending savings and trying to get back in shape, failing on all fronts, but I am trying each day, and hopefully a chance will appear. Keep at it, keep strong, we are still here!

The beacons are lit! Rambler calls for aid. And the Ramfamalam Army shall respond! Great to hear you're doing better, Alex. I hope you know we're all here for you. We will support anything you do to help yourself and the channel. Take care Alex!

You are an amazing person Alex and I hope you’re able to get thru this and start feeling better soon

I appreciate you being real - as someone who also can occasionally have paralyzing anxiety, you'll pass this.

We love you Alex! You just have to fix your body’s economy, as you’ve done so many times for us before

I've had depression and anxiety from ptsd over the past 10 years, it definitely can be hard at times. Best of luck with your mental health, it's a very hard thing to deal with. Mental health definitely is more important than content.

From one depressed, anxious, and exhausted person to another: it's hard but it's always worth keeping at it and it will get better. I fully appreciate how hard it is in a high-stress work environment where you never know what the future brings, but you are an amazing person and have created a great community that is here for you and thanks to you. Keep up the good fight!❤️

Keep up the good fight. I'm going through a similar thing and I can feel your pain. Take it step by step and keep on keeping on. There is no shame in losing passion for some time and taking a timeout to refill the battieries. No failure in saying stop I need to take a break.

Alex. I understand your struggle. I have battled with depression and anxiety issues since I was 14 years old. 35 now. It is easy to become stuck in our routines and habits that keep us stuck in feeling horrible. Here to support you. Keep talking about it. It takes courage to be open about these things.

You're a great guy with a great heart man, at the end of the day that's what matters. Do whatever is best for you and those who truly care will support you regardless.

I know it's going to sound cliché, but it really helped me, so here we go: Learn how to enjoy the good moments in life. I heard it a million times, and for a long time I didn't event realize I had a problem. I was always thinking about my worries, imaging stories or scenarios in my head, trying to empty/distract my head to numb the pain. By doing so, I missed a lot of potentially happy moments. I learned that there are times to worry, plan etc and times to just live the moment and enjoy (even if not everything is perfect). Truly enjoying good moments make enduring the hard and stressful times way more bearable. It gives your brain a vital break. Choose life!

You've been a big inspiration for me to start playing hoi4 and stream. Keep your head up and do what makes you happy. Whether that's taking some mental health time off or making content, we're here to support you. Love from the USA!!!

Take your time. Health is much more important than money. Us fans will stick around and once you're back you'll gain some motion again in no time :)

Love ya, Alex. I can relate to the never ending tiredness. It's one of the worst things, it feels almost impossible to motivate yourself to do anything. I have to say (just a suggestion from my own experience) that throughout my childhood, even though I hated (and still do hate) socializing, the one thing that always got me moving is being in team sports. Staying active in the gym is good and all, but it's even better if you do it with a coach/teacher and teammates, even if you never get to connect to them personally. "Traditional" sports (football, rugby, tennis, etc) are a lot of fun, but might be kinda difficult to access. Martial arts are generally easier to get in to than traditional sports, yet you still stay very active and practice a lot of both physical and mental attributes (I did Karate, great for my sanity). Then again, it's just my experience. It might be helpful, though, I dunno.

Appreciate the openness and honesty.

No need to apologize. I struggle too and it's hard. It's been tough lately. You got this.

Nonsense. We Subscribe because we want to watch you, the WHOLE of you! It is the whole of you that generates so many memorable moments and wonderful experiences. The whole of you is appreciated, and that includes when you need time to recuperate. Your honesty on such a tough topic is brave, strong and inspirational :)

I think the videos that use mods have been doing generally a bit better (ie. Star Wars and LOTR mods) than the regural ones..also maybe try and expand into other strategy games? Hope it all goes better this year..keep fighting we are all here for you!!❤️💪

This is exactly the type of video that drove me to subscribe many years ago. You being a genuine person is what makes many of us loyal followers. Even when you aren’t posting new stuff, I watch an old video of yours everyday. Love ya man, you ain’t failing nothing 🦾🫂

I struggled with depression for 3 years, I hope you get through this Alex, you're a great guy, take care.

Mental health is the most important (although when it feeds into not being able to pay the bills it becomes a bit of a spiral, of course)! Keep at it, it's great that you're able and willing to speak up about your struggle. 🥰

Stay strong and don’t give up, love you man, will pray for thee

Alex, you’ve been one of my favorite HoiIV KZreadrs over the years. Don’t feel bad at all for dealing with personal stuff. I’ve unfortunately been dealing with it as well and it’s something that’s hard to get over. Take some time away if you need. Take care. ❤️

0:16 i feel you there alex

The empty feeling never really goes away, I just learned to try and live with it, I don’t always succeed but I give it my best shot, I still enjoy your videos and you’re still my favourite hoi 4 KZreadr 😊

Anxierty sucks, depression sucks. Take care of yourself, you aren't alone.

I have struggled for around 10 years with anxiety, depression and other things. Fortunately I am now much better and I just want to tell you, that I believe in you and I am also a 100% sure you will do the same! Proud of you for being so open with it, you truly are an inspiration

Alex we love you and appreciate you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Aye aye aye, so sorry Alex. Hope you feel at least a bit better soon. You’re doing great, just keep it up and you’ll be all better soon.

we all hope you get better, Alex. remember we'll always support you, good luck with everything Lad!

We are all here for you!!! Hope you can laugh a bit more.

Thanks for posting this video, I'm going through a similar thing right now and it's hard. But it's also made me reevaluate my relationships with people and seeking support from those close to me in a way that I haven't before. The fact that you can speak so candidly about something so difficult says a lot. I wish you all the best.

To wage war upon oneself is to engage in the vanity of insanity. Yet, if we don't fight, then we won't be able to continue living. A paradox among the depressed, yet we soldier on... I don't wish to instill you with fear, but i truly hope that you can eacape this fate. Life really is worth living. No matter how hard it gets, the potential for happiness is infinite.

Much love from Liverpool Alex, you have never fail just hit a few bumps in your life, but the rambling army is behind you.

Hope you come back stronger and better. Much love♥

You're not alone man, it's a pain but it can get better. Gotta stay focus on the small stuff and the tunnel will let you out

Hey Alex! I’ve loved your videos for years, and the content itself is as enjoyable as always. Love you man and take your grace. All of our favorite tv shows go months without new episodes and we look forward to them as if they’d never left.

I incredibly respect your courage in discussing this. This may sound selfish but as someone who struggles with similar things, it is sort of comforting to hear you be open about it.

Even if all the “stuff” makes life difficult just know that even if it’s a little better progress is still progress. And hey, with anemia that means you get the eat more foods to see what works (like lots of shrimp, broccoli, spinach, and beef). Tbh, anxiety sucks, no matter what. If it helps just don’t overthink stuff or get something that does distract you (gaming if it works for you but don’t make it a chore). As for the personal stuff I can only hope you take everything day by day. As for the videos, maybe try out more non-HoI IV games (or even non-paradox games), maybe a multiplayer game. I know the algorithm doesn’t help with that but you only need to get one golden video to see what sticks. Otherwise don’t push yourself too hard and I hope you feel contented Alex.

Yeah it's very rough, I think it's something that will never go away, but we can learn to manage it and supress it!

You're strong for managing to talk so openly about your struggles, stay rambling Alex❤

Good luck, Alex. I just subbed, scrolled through and liked all your videos for months. Everyone who sees this should go do it too. Of all of the strategy KZreadrs I watch I have the most fun watching you. You make looking at maps exciting.

Dont apologize about what you are going through, i dont play heart of irons since Heart of iron 2 - Armagedon, and still i love your channel, it help me relax after a hard day of work when my brain cant keep going on. Depression its hard, i went through 7 years of my life with it, with out knowing (or maybe i know it and didnt want to see it). Now i can say i live with it, i know i cannot let it eat my life, my happyness, the people i love. Its a struggle but know that you are not alone, that there are people who cares about you, that loves you, even if you are a stranger in their life, helping them to relax after a hard day. (I hope that you understand what im trying to say, english its not my first lenguage and its hard to write some things. Love you man, keep it up)

I think it is awesome that you are sharing your journey through this fight! Just keep being your rambling self and having fun playing games and we'll love it!

Hey Alex! I've been a subscriber (atleast on other accounts) for ever, I understand the struggle and I wish you the best, you've always had a place in my recommended and always have been a go to channel. Just know we all believe in you and we will fight for every inch on your behalf. Love you man!

- it is very good that you, someone who people like and see as a friendly, successful face (yes really, you have succeeded amd you may well do in future, in youtube and other things), talk about this so honestly, especially to a male audience. - it is great that you resolutely dont apologise for it, even though youre honest that you feel you need to. Youre responsible with what you say. I can see the conscious effort, possibly emphasised in therapy, to not blame yourself. Its great you perpetuate the idea that mental health problems are our responsibility but not our fault. - its also very good that you are very publicly carrying on with the very hard process of healthy decisions, counselling and health improvement. Never publicly questioning that its worth it helping yourself, and never telling people its easy or theres a miracle cure or masking it. These videos are important so thank you.

You don't need to push yourself too much, take a break if you need to, i really hope you get better!

Thank you for everything you do!! I try to watch you as much as I can, especially when it’s slow at work I have you on! Would love to see you do a Paradox Grand Campaign at some point as well!!(if I missed it, if you’re able to link it I’ll binge it right away!!)

"It gets easier. Every day it gets a little easier. But you got to do it every day. That's the hard part. But it does get easier."

Sending my love you Alex :) hope things get better soon!

You have no need to apologize. I’m so sorry you’re going through this

Stay strong Alex. Your Videos are a breath of fresh air and although you are finding things really difficult at the moment, you always make us the viewers happy. That being said, we can wait - make yourself happy first. I am a sports coach studying psychology, what you are talking about is very common with burnout Stress Depression, and anxiety. You tend to start not enjoying the things you really enjoyed first, but it's good you are noticing this as most don't. Stay safe, if the gym isn't fun go for a walk, any form of movement is good for the old noggin and don't apologise, you being healthy is more important :)

As someone who found you in 2020. I've never played a second of hearts of Iron. Your care and excitement of new mods or scenarios is truly what keeps me watching. I've noticed the videos go from 25 minutes to 15. I've been hoping you'd do a series of playing each faction in the Star Wars mod. Maybe setting up a series and giving something to look forward to may help engage other viewers? I can only speak for myself. But you need to he healthy and have fun.

Blessings to you in this season, may you receive all you need to be healthy in every way.

The most important step a man can take, is not the first, but rather the next. Always the next step

From one Alex to another. I love you bro. You keep working yourself and building the better you. The real ones will be here to support. For the case of viewership on the channel I understand where youre getting at with views. Even when you try to make something thats not hoi4 it viewership tends to be lower. I personally dont know what you can do to drive away successfully from just only doing hoi4, and to get the same viewership on other games you love or find intrest in. All i know from how this system works is to keep consistent uploads while poking your head into other games every now and then. To hopefully get people that watch for more than hoi4. KZread is a job for mental gymnastics, and it aint fun sometimes. With that being said, with possibilities of improvements on viewership i highly suggest really looking into ways of improving your work life balance. I struggled with it for 6 years and let my job take over my life without realizing it. Then flipping it the other way and having my life take over my work life. It was unhealthy. I still fumble it from time to time. But i immediately know when i start messing that up. I hope these words of encouragement help you realize youre not alone in the fights youre in. Its different but its the same overall problem of just simply being human. Stay strong. Stay fighting. We love you. ❤

You were often the channel I turned to when I went through a very dark spell a year or so a go. You and your channel helped me no end. I don't have the answer for you, but do not undervalue yourself and what you do for your followers. You'll get there mate.

We may joke about ye olde rambler try, but we all want it to succeed. Stay strong Alex

Hi Alex, it's a plasure to see an update about how you feel. I just want to let you know how happy I am about the fact that you are opening with us all, letting us know that, even if it's hard, you are still fighting. You might fall in love again with YT, you might not: don't let this thing harm you. You could take a total different way and, as long as you will feel good and happy about it, it will be YOUR WAY. Don't feel any of this as a loss, even if you need to retrace your steps: you will be advancing in a different direction :D Hope to hear from you soon Dario

I'm sorry to hear you are not feeling well. I am a casual viewer but i always feel entertained by your hoi videos even though i dont play the game and yours is the only gaming channel i subscribe to. I hope you feel better soon!

You’ll get through this and come out the other side at least slightly better. We’ll be here to support you.

Don't ride yourself too much. This is a difficult road you're on, but you're not walking it alone.

It will get better, everyone of us is cheering for you my dude, you got this❤️❤️ love the vids btw

hey rambler, i used to watch your videos when i as younger and had more free time. Back then i knew you weren't doing great mentally, so i remind myself now and then to check up on how you're doing. devastated to know you're not doing as well as you used to be mentally. Just know that everything you're going through is natural and okay. remember to keep pushing and to know that although you may think you're not making any progress just remember that any push you make to make you're life better is worth it in the end. There are genuinely hundreds of thousands of people who you made lives better with your entertaining content. Thousands of people care about you and don't let the negative comments on social media or the ones you probably reinforce in your head let bring you down. You are a talented, charming and clearly very kind man who has just had a bad break. Remember keep pushing yourself and i can't wait to see you get better :)

Sorry to hear it Rambler, hope you get the support you need.

I used to always watch your videos but then youtube stopped recommending them so hopefully now they will begin showing your vids again

Hey Alex, you're not the only one in this situation. What is really cool is that you give a lot of people 20 or 30 minutes where they can relax and chill and have a laugh for a bit as they go through the same stuff. I'm sorry this is happening to you but you are actively part of the solution for a lot of people. take care man.

Love you man. Depression and anxiety is really shitty to deal with, but I know you can get through it!!!! Ramfam army 💪💪💪

I hope you get better! I have watched your videos for years.

Hey Alex, it's nice to see that things are a little better. I hope you can get out of this anxiety over time. Your videos are always super cool to watch and I hope you always find inspiration in these fantastic games! Also, if you are looking for new ideas, often remember to look at small mods. I saw one called "More Formable Decision" which can make good videos to have a clear and precise challenge to follow if you think to take a look. Anyways, get well soon and we love you

Alex, I love your content. you've inspired me to change my life, come out, both literaly and out of my shell socially. you helped me find my favorite game ever, and i look forward to all of your videos, please know your loved and valued.
