wow. what a video. i cant even find the words to describe how i felt while watching. there were so many thoughts youve mentioned where i felt like you are talking about myself. thank you so much for your content

This is motivating me to do this for myself! I’ve been wanting to do it for a while, especially since I have bad depression and anxiety and I think it would be very beneficial. Also, this video deserves sm love! The amount of editing you had to go through is absolutely insane!

Amazing! I can only recommend it! It really helped to have to edit the videos every week and be forced to watch myself talk about everything that happened. And so beneficial to notice how quickly things had already gotten better in just the span of one week. I wish you the best of luck, and I'd love to hear how it goes :)

omg. this video is truly so beautiful. thank you for making it.

crikey. That was something. Your potrait of how depressive cycles can come was incredibly raw and , i think, atleast for myself was the first time i saw another person describe what i also can expereince so articulatley. I love how you showed that, at the same time that these parts of you exsist, just literally days away is creativity and reflection, that shows what a more holistic picture of the person can be. I think it was super brave of you to make a video like this, I was already sold on your work, but I literally cannot remember a creator who wants to talk about mental health, that was so honest in saying........ im there, and im not there, and showed that you can kinda be all things at once. I dunno if that makes sense, its hard for me to explain. Since so few people will lay their cards on the table like that, myself includng, im constantly filtering myself, I can only take my hat off to you.

Thank you! It's for the reasons you described, that I wanted to make this video. I think I could have easily left out the worst depressive episode, but then it wouldn't have been true to what I went through last year. I feel that if I want to make videos on mental health in the future, I need to be open with where I'm coming from. I do have to admit though, even I filtered myself a little in this video. There were some things I wasn't comfortable with talking about (yet) and I think it would have been over an hour long if I went into everything I went through last year! I just really hope that people can get something out of my experience, so that they don't have to go through the same things I did.

This is incredibly powerful - you are not alone in how you feel. I'm so happy you shared this with us, I shed tears for you as you sounded like my inner self.

Thank you so much for this video! For your time and dedication. I know it was not easy to make. I am so happy for you though. You can tell the difference when you started and when you ended. I have a feeling you will get that job :) As for the dating part, you will find her. Any girl is lucky to have you, you are a pretty handsome guy lol. I really was moved and motivated by your story. I’ve struggled all my life with my weight, but something sparked in me, by watching your video. I wish you nothing but the best :) You have a new subscriber ❤

Thank you so much for this comment! I'm happy to hear that you got motivated by my video! I also wish you nothing but the best on your journey!

Brutally honest. Hope you have fewer bad days this year! Continue taking care of yourself! Also, what an incredible experiment. Congratulations on the courage and amazing video.

Proud of you. 💪 Literally saved your life. And probably many others

this is amazing. your not alone man! im so proud of you for still being here. we love you man!

Wow just woooow

Ooof. I felt you so much in this video. I've been that person. I'm still an asshole to myself more than I should be, though I think I am now the most compassionate toward myself that I've ever been, and that's a great space to be in. Life is hard and it's full of so much joy and so much pain and those things will always be present, it's how we interact with them, and how we treat ourselves, that influences how quickly we can move past the bad and back to the good. Thank you for your brutal, raw truth in this video. It's so powerful to see and hear, and I know that a lot of people will be impacted by it. You ARE funny and cute and wise and reflective and intelligent and deep and full of soul. I'm glad you're able to be kinder to yourself now and I hope this year gives you all the things you're looking for.

Exactly! It's the worst when the person that is being the worst to you is yourself. You can't escape that. I'm happy to hear that you're more compassionate towards yourself now, it's not an easy task to be in that headspace! It definitely helps when you have an ally in your head when going up against this brutal world. Thank you for those kind words :) I really do hope I can take these lessons on to this year and make it great.

Thank you for putting yourself out there Chris! This is such an amazing video and it must have taken you so much courage to share your deepest thoughts and most emotional moments of this past year.

Thank you. Awesome. You did good.

Where are you in germany? I am from germany as well! This video is amazing, thank you :)
