Oh Daniel! It's so brave to talk about this! It must have been so hard for you to say this in a youtube video.. I'm sending you all my love and I hope you will feel better soon. Remember to look for the small things that can make you happy. That's whats helping me though.. The sun will come out tomorrow, keep that in mind
Daniel, new subscriber here, I have watched several or your videos, including this one, all the way through. This one hit a nerve, I am older and have struggled with depression for a very long time. You have so much, friends, your brother, who is great and you are young and very handsome and have a wonderful career. I get these moments when the world crashes down on you. I am so sorry you have things to go through and wish I could give you that sage advice to make it all better but we cope as best we can. I'll say this Daniel, you have so much more than I do, but you give me something to smile about and I hope i did the same. If you ever need to talk, I (we) are here. May God bless you and keep you safe and happy.
Life is a ongoing story. Just like a book you will have the darkest and overwhelming of chapters. But there will also be chapters that are the opposite. It is matter of realizing that what we are going through is just a moment and that moment doesn't define us as a person. Am in introvert so know the pressure of society to be certain ways. Just don't confuse life with society as society is a concept and life moves on regardless. What happens tomorrow depends on you. If ever need to talk can respond to this comment and will contact you via IG.
We definitely all have our ups and downs, it’s all about being conscious of our mental health and noticing when something is wrong. It can be really easy to fall into the trap of feeling crap and just zombieing your way through life. Thank you for the comment and the support, I so appreciate it
Depression is relatable to a lot of people (me included) especially during these times. Posting content where you're vulnerable can make your audience feel connected to you, which to many is more valuable than just being entertained. Wearing a mask of positivity out of a sense of obligation when it doesn't align with your emotional core can be draining. You speak about how much you want to help people and that opportunities to help people in lockdown are limited. That makes sense, but remember that by observing the public health regulations, you are helping people. By being responsible, you are curbing the spread of this disease. You aren't getting the satisfaction of personal positive feedback, but keep in mind that by following the rules day by day, making all the sacrifices you've been making, you are being a good person.
Hello my friend I am very sorry to hear what you are going through as I have been there too as I do know that it's not easy for us to deal with this but you are doing the right thing now and that is speaking about this is one big start. If I can help you in anyway let me know. God bless you and I am keeping you up in my prayers here.
I have depression, anxiety and social anxiety. And it sucks. It make total sense when you said it comes out of nowhere and there isn’t a reason. For me what helps is writing out exactly what your feeling than ripping it up. It sounds silly but it’s satisfying seeing the words on the paper all ripped up
Dear Daniel, I can relate to the depression and having to stay inside. I live in a one-bedroom apt and for medical reason am classified as homebound. It is difficult at times but I do have access to a psychiatrist which is great and the proper medication. I will keep you in my thoughts.
I know exactly how it is, depression is very difficult, my mother has deep depression and so do I, but not as strong.but it’s hard every day. what help me is to remember that i'm never alone. And you are not too, we are with you.
thank you for making this video. i really needed to hear literally everything that you said. you do make a difference in the world, even if you don't see it yourself.
Thank you for sharing.i know the feeling. Reaching out and talking about it helps. Your videos are helpful. You're a good person and don't feel bad. Take care of yourself. You're are loved.❤🌈
Thank you for sharing your true feelings and struggles. It does help people. You and Hannah have helped me so much this year, I live alone and my full time and part time jobs both sent me home to work since March 13th, 2020. I’m definitely struggling and you guys have made it better. I hope you feel our support and love for you too. I have so many things to appreciate and be thankful for but depression doesn’t care about that, it just gets you. Thank you for sharing, thank you for making the videos and thank you for being real when it’s not great too. Zaggy for life!
Hugs my friend. I too suffer from depression so I understand. Please take care of yourself, God Bless you my friend! Remember, if you don’t take some “me time” you’re letting everyone down. Wrap your arms around yourself and squeeze, that will be me hugging you! Take care, remember, when you share your pain, it helps others refocus on someone else’s pain, so you’re doing a favor when you share. Hope that makes some sense! I love you buddy!
It's so brave of you to talk about your mental health. It's such a underspoken topic which many negative myths and you showed it from "a human prostective". Also, while struggling you didn't give up and was there for everyone of us. You are really a godsend, because (I don't know if you realized that) you helped sooo many of us. I too strugle with my mental health and you really saved my life, because when I was so close from suicide and non of my "friends" were there for me, I decided to give fate one last chance. At that moment I accidentally turned on Tik Tok. The first thing I saw was you live. I decided to write a bit on chat about me struggling and as soon as you saw it, you took about 6 minutes from your life to give me such a wonderful and emotional responce, that I cried. From that moment I'm your biggest fan,and you are my rolemodel ❤️ I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I hope that reading it makes your day a bit better. You are strong so I know that you will carry through it. You have our support and love ❤️
Thanks for sharing Daniel. I'm probably on the older end of your audience.. So I definitely appreciate seeing someone your age with a platform like yours talking about this and encouraging others to talk about their own mental health.
Thanks for sharing and your honesty. I hope travel restrictions are soon lifted and, especially, that you get the vaccine soon. Los Angeles will be lucky to have you.
As a despressed bisexual cancer (too) i do understand what you‘ve been and are going through. I was once in the same condition as you but i am getting better and better thanks to my friends and my partner at the moment🥰 we are just people we all struggle, especially in time like this. I hope you know we are all here for you and hope you‘ll get better ❤️🩹
This is such an important video and such an important message, that needs to be heard by many many people out there, now more than ever. Thank you for posting this, it very well might save lives. And in answer to your question, YES! Absolutely influencers should post about their personal struggles with mental health, it helps people to not feel alone and realise it is normal and it really can affect anyone, no matter how great their life seems from the outside. Thank you again for sharing this, I know it must have been hard. I hope you feel better soon. Much love.
It is much more difficult for men to speak up when they’re struggling with emotional things because it’s the prevailing wisdom to tell them to “man up” and “suck it up,” because that’s when men are supposed to do. Men have emotions just like anyone and sometimes they need emotional support. It should be normal for men to speak up and I’m glad to see that you’re doing that for yourself today Mister Z 🙃 Be blessed!
This reminds me of something Confucius said about his disciple Yen Hui: With a bowl of coarse rice and a gourd of liquid, living in a dreary alley in threadbare clothes, he never let it affect his contentment, when other men would have been driven to misery or despair. Truly he is a worthy. I suffer with bouts of depression too and when I journaled I did note that we only see the big changes as change and see the small changes as being the same.
Thank you for sharing! This is very important to talk about, and I recognize myself in many of the thing you said. During the pandemic I have suffered from quite bad anxiety, and after a few months of not really knowing what to do about it I got in thouch with the healthcare and got to talk to a counselor/therapist, who I have seen for multiple months now. It has been very hard to talk about how I have been feeling, but I think that it has really helped me, especially since I could do it with an outsider/stranger, and therefore didn't feel as judged (which is one of my anxiety triggers). This practice has made me able to open up to some friends about my mental state, even though maybe they don't understand the full extent of my struggles. I have also spoken to doctors and gotten anti-depression/anti-anxiety medication prescribed to help manage my state while working with exposure of the things that I struggle with. This is another thing that is not talked about enough, few people (at least here in Sweden) tell people outside their immediate family that they are on this medication, even though around 10% of the population is. So again, thanks for sharing, and please, hang in there! Remember that you are loved and bring joy to people, I know you do to me!
I know where you are coming from, I've been dealing with anxiety, depression and panic attacks, for over the last 10 years. You are not alone. So I would definitely send all my love and hugs too you, ♥️
Oh honey, I send a lot of hugs and love to you 🥺💕 you and your feelings are all valid. You're an escape for me of all the stuff I've been through on this pandemic. You are such a nice guy, babe. Lysm 💕
Thank you ❤️ I want to make people happy and make them laugh but sometimes these conversations are important. Thank you for your kind words and your support 😊
Its very touching to see the deep inside of your life and its struggles. Thank you for shining your light on the struggles of mental health especially with the male population. Sometimes it just takes one to change the world and I think it just might be your mission. Keep being you and I will keep watching your journey.
Thank you for talking about this Daniel 💕. I myself have been having a pretty rough week. My anxiety has been through the roof. Feeling a little lost and confused about what I’m going to do with my life with career wise.
Im sending you all the love! And i maybe got a tip, try to read a book. I have a busy head and reading a book takes me to an other world where i can relax, I hope it does the same for you!
Its ok to take some time to deal with your mental health never apologise for that. We all struggle at times some more than others its important to acknowledge these moments feel them and work through them not to bottle them up. Take some time to do things you enjoy surround yourself with people who make u happy. We are all here for you xxx
Thank you, really appreciate the kind words! Luckily for me, I love what I do so it doesn’t feel like work most of the time (and honestly keeps me sane most of the time!) but I definitely will be carving out some time for just down time. Hope you’re doing alright and really appreciate the support ❤️😊
Love you Daniel and your channel hope you can stay strong always here for you! Wish I could give you a hug right now 🙂 I struggle with depression too so can definitely relate.
Thank you, sending you love right back. I always talk about mental health so I wanted to be real and share something more personal in hopes it helps someone watching ❤️
I suffer with depression and ptsd.I 💘 you and everything you do. I also would like to meet you someday. You are so cute and I love a man with an accent.
Thank you for putting all of these feelings into words. It really helps to know someone else is feeling similar things, especially in a time like this. You are loved, don't forget that. Take care of yourself.
Thank you! You are absolutely not alone and I’m so glad that you found this helpful. It wasn’t easy to talk about but this is exactly why I wanted to do it ❤️
It is always of great value when guys with a platform, like you have, address mental health issues like depression. You share the frustrations of many about waiting to get the vaccine, but I'm sure we'll get there eventually 😉 thank you for the open and honest sharing 🙏
Thank you - that’s why I did it despite the discomfort. Gotta practice what I preach, men have to learn how to speak up and reach out for help and hopefully my video can be helpful to some. Thank you for the support 😊
Honestly, Daniel, I would love to watch 1 or 2 videos per month where you talked about the the stressors in your life, how you’re dealing with them, what things you’ve tried and they didn’t work for you, and just give us an overall update as to where you’re at, mentally, for that month. I think that would be relatable to more people than you may think...especially the other members of our 🏳️🌈 Ohana. I also think that it would be a good elevate for you too, instead of penting things up, you could share it with us and we could shoulder the burden WITH one of our favourite content creators. It’s just a thought that I wanted to actualize. Anyway, I hope u and ur ohana are staying safe and healthy during this pandemic. Lotsa love and aloha from Honolulu! 😁🤙🏽❤️🌈☀️ (symbols of Hawai’i)
I think it's really important and brave of you to speak about this. As a woman I feel like we have a good amount of representation and mental health awareness in females. But we also need this amount of awareness for mental health issues in men. Especially during this time. We all struggle. We're all human. I hope talking about it made you feel a little bit better. Take time for yourself and work through this. Sending you hugs and love.
Thank you! It was definitely out of my comfort zone but it would be a waste for me to have this platform and talk about the importance of mental health and then not do anything about breaking down the stigma. Thank you for the support, it’s so appreciated ❤️
@@deeeyen your openness and vulnerability is helping so many people especially men. I’m so grateful for you using your platform this way. It’s genuine and that’s why people love you. You deserve all the support in the world. Not just as a public figure on the internet but as a human being struggling in this world. It shows that you’re just human. It’s refreshing to see men not trying to be extremely “masculine” (I don’t even know what this means 😅 or why it matters) and show genuine emotions. As for the state of this world. I know it’s hard. I’ve been in lockdown since February 2020 and it’s driving me insane. I only go out to work but the anxiety of catching something is real. We got this. You got this. ❤️
Everyone has mental health it’s part of our overall health and our well-being and it’s an important part. Just as physical health or spiritual health, European countries seem to be more on the front line and have been for years and the sense of dealing and supporting people for their mental health. We are getting there in the US but have a ways to go. You talking about it is taking care of you, but also by sharing your story, others can learn it from it and can feel empowered that they’re not alone. perhaps it’s a different coming out video
I hope you know that so many of us love you Daniel. I really appreciate everything you do for so many of us. Your videos, TikToks, and streams always brighten my day. You yourself also brightens my day. So much love being sent to you. ❤️❤️
hi you're awesome, you're really cool, I love your videos. I hope you're feeling better, you're a really sweet and cool guy. hope you get through what you're going through, and your videos are the best buddy !
Have you seen a Dr about your depression? Most of the time it’s caused by a chemical imbalance in your brain. Please take care of yourself! I look forward to seeing you! As for the vaccine, I’m diabetic, clinically depressed, and in my mid 60’s live in America and I’ve yet to have received all my vaccine. Please!!! TAKE CARE!
I can relate with your depression I have to deal with mine everyday ...... do you take medication for it? If you want to talk I would like to help even if you just need someone to talk to dm me
