I started watching this thinking "yeah yeah I've heard it all before, nothing changes" but this video actually hit me, and the way you word everything actually made me feel inspired, so thank you
The outpouring of love in the comment section of this video gives me so much hope. So lovely to see people sharing their experiences and the support they’re getting
I think the worst thing is for young males is in society whether we like it or not we feel pressured not to speak about it, we’re made to just carry on and if we speak theres the worry of criticism in the back of our minds, great video dudey it’s made me take a step back, appreciate it mate x
Something I have started doing is watching TV whilst on the treadmill. Its usually an hour, I'm only going to be sitting down to watch so I might as well be active instead. Its helped kick start my own lifestyle change and I tell myself if I want to watch it I have to get on the treadmill. On ways to help, I know crying is seen as a weakness, which is ridiculous in itself, but I cry. I find it's the best way to let out all the stress and anxiety I'm under. It's a release. I then watch something funny. From one extreme to the other but it seriously helps. I have suffered with depression, anxiety, OCD and eating disorders for years. It takes a lot of strength to reach out for help but it does get better.
Love this video. I’m celebrating a year off antidepressants after being on them for nearly 20yrs. Spent last year working on my mental and physical health and it was the best thing I ever did. Thank you for opening the conversation up. I take an hour before bed every night with no tv or phone and just pamper myself and think of all the things I am thankful for from that day. Sounds cheesy but it works for me! ❤️
It means so much that influencers are breaking the stigma on mental health and showing it’s okay to talk about how you feel and to get help. So much respect, love the content
I feel like most mental health issues don’t necessarily get better or go away, you just learn how to function and cope with it. I’ve just reached that point and although I’ve still got a long way to go I give myself props for getting through it and coming out the other end with a semi-normal life; it feels exhilarating and I’m proud of myself. I’d absolutely love to work with young people who went through what I did and feel like it won’t get better because I’ve been there myself. Just find small things that make you glad to be alive and you’ll find the other part of yourself who’s happy ❤️
So proud and happy that you are doing this. Thank you Jordan. Massive respect for this. If there was ever a video to share, it's this one. I shared it in less than 4mins, (after I'd stopped tearing up). #itsokaynottobeokay
I struggle with low moods myself and the main things I do to give me some relief on a bad day or just when I need a boost are writing or playing the guitar or ukulele, and I've recently gotten into painting. But another thing that helps is watching videos and movies to distract my brain and switch off, and your videos always help to cheer me up when I need it. Thank you so much for this video and for using your platform to spread such an important message! X
as someone that has social anxiety disorder and has struggled with it for as long as i can remember its nice to see people i respect putting out there that people need to ask for help when shits bad talking about it never makes it worse so can only help thanks dudey
Nice to see Dudey bringing it up as well. One of the big reasons why people don’t speak up is because they don’t want to be seen as a “nuisance” or “annoying” to their mates.
i fucking love this video, you hear a lot of people say this kind of stuff but it felt so real and raw coming from you, keep doing what you’re doing mannnn
I've always been overweight but never really dangerously overweight but over the past 4/5 years I got diagnosed with anxiety/depression due to stress and a health scare that really shook me, got put on anti-depressants and gained about 80/90lbs. I was at my heaviest a few months ago at 327lbs but I've been exercising more often and eating better and I'm now at 303lbs. I've had more help at the gym from people who told me the best things to do and the best ways to see results. In my first gym session I was on the treadmill and I kept getting out of breath really quickly, more quickly than ever before and I broke down into tears coz I realised I couldn't do as much as I did when I was 80lbs lighter and there were 3 people all of different ages that were so quick to come and talk to me and encourage me I genuinely couldn't believe it and it really motivated me. From my own experience (and I live in a pretty rough area) there are so many kind and caring people at the gym.
I suffer with anxiety and when I have a particularly bad day that not even my medication can save me from, I read and I watch you, Jack and TrueGeordie. Honestly, I don’t think you lads realise how much you help some of us, and make me laugh on days where I cannot bring myself to smile. So from the bottom of my panicked heart, thank you 💕
Lost a friend very recently to suicide. Hit me hard, in different ways. Sadly, would have never guessed anything was wrong which is all too common. Please reach out to your friends and family. Even if they seem perfectly okay on the outside, you never have ANY idea what's going on for them internally. Thanks for this Jordan. I needed to hear it.
just one thing to say about this video. thank you. it means the world for everything youve done for not only me, but loads of people. In just over 50 days, its going to be 1 year since i last harmed and my world has gotten so much better and all because i reached out to my friends and people around me and trust me it does help, i was on antidepressants for 4 years before i came off them January this year. so once again, thank you so much Jordan for everything youve done, please keep up the insane works it means the world x
Keep this positive mentality portrayed to us cos is deff making a difference to at least a handle full of people those who are watching your channel at a time where you may not have the most subscribers are watching because we can trust what you say and fully engage in to what your telling us really good role model for people keep up the work Jordan
mental how much this is needed by so many people right now. so proud of you and Jack and i want to thank yous for being open about mental health, and for getting me into exercise more. it really does help clear my head and keeps me healthy so thankyou for the videos, they pushed me back into it and i really needed that. thanks chief x
thank you so much for opening up a conversation. i’ve often struggled with mental health. the worst time in my mental health was when i was in year 8, when i first began hearing voices that were telling me to harm/kill myself. it was hard and horrible the first time that i heard the voices in maths and i was crying really hard. the boy next to me (who was a ‘hard man’) literally spent the lesson talking to me and helped me a lot with overcoming it. tips for overcoming a bad spout of mental health/day: •talk (to friends/family/teachers/councillor/therapist) •exercise (i dance when i’m really sad) •listen to your favourite songs (create a playlist for when your sad.) •watch funny RU-vid videos :))))
Too right brother, I suffered, and never talked about it, to the point my mind snapped and sent me into a dissociative psychosis for a year. Didn't believe the world was real or that I was real, and nothing was or has even been more terrifying than that. And it all happened because I didn't talk, I didn't get help, and I didn't look after myself. Massive proponent of speaking out now, even if you're fine, just incase something isn't quite right! Take care my dude.
Absolutely smashed this video. The money donated to charity and also the extensive links in the description. Thank you for this video and using your platform for things like this.
Big up mate I respect you so much for this video. You honestly seem like the most genuine dude and someone I could be mates with. This topic is massively important to me and today's society. I find it hard to open up with my mental health but luckily my mum notices it in me and has helped me so much. I've never told any of my mates but I think you may have inspired me to do so as it's important to open up a dialogue and like you say maybe others are going through a similar thing. By opening up I could be helping someone else which is really eye opening. Also I agree 100% going to the gym and working on yourself does wonders for you! I've been going for a year consistently now and I'll never look back, completely changed me for the better! I hope everyone reading this has a good day I mean it and don't be so hard on yourself. Cheers dude you're a good guy 👍
The 3 people that have disliked this need to fix up .... this is an amazing video that has hopefully helped loads of people..me included....thank you Dudey...sweat one geez
Im a drunk, cocaine addict bt even before today have been seeking help and its proven to be not so easy ! im getting there, thanks too Achieve Salford and the gumtree charity who interviend :)
great video Jordan. so important to talk about these things and raise awareness. you're absolutely right about exercise - been starting my days with a morning run and the difference it's made to my mindset is incredible. thank you for starting a conversation about this and for being an inspiration to so many people - you might not think it but these videos are changing lives. keep it up 👊🏼🖤
Fully respect this👊this will help someone to talk to somebody. i hope you understand how many people this will help. You fully understand it unlike half these RU-vidrs who just push this content out for their own reasons not to help others. Keep up the amazing work and stay well❤️❤️
I just started going out on a run with my dog instead if just normal walks and it's been two weeks now of running everyday. And been able to just see my progress with the distance I keep upping it up by just brings a smile to my face. It hasn't changed much and I'm still in a bad place but it's the small moments of happiness that keep me going and I hope other people could also just make small changes and build up from there. Thank you dudey this has made me feel a little less alone.
I am 13 and reading all these inspirational comments i dont want to sound like a cringe teenager but all these comments like yours where your talking about doing small things will rly help for others when they experience low points i havent had one massive low in my life and i feel fortunate for that but i love how every1 is sharing wots helped them
This year, I got help. I went to my doctors and I got help. I’m still struggling but I’m on my way up, I hope. I need to learn to deal with my anxiety and learn how to help myself overcome. Anxiety has taken over my life. More people need to know about mental health, so people can get help early, and can help others going though it. And like u said, better to get it off your chest, now I can’t stop talking about how I’m feeling. 💕
Brilliant job with this one Jordan. The description alone just shows how much you want to help and how much you care about your audience. You really are one of the best RU-vidrs out here.
Ly dudey ain’t watched the vid yet but ly. Seeing a fairly strong good looking bloke (I swear I’m not gay) talking about mental health in many vids and crying in vids really helps me out. Ly
Thanks for this video Jordan, trying not to let social anxiety ruin my uni experience, taking it one day at a time. I'm sure this video will be very impactful for many people :)
Thankyou man this has just helped me get up and go for a run after having a bit of a shit day and now I feel great and feel inspired to be more fit and eat healthier
Such a class video!! So great that you are creating awareness on such a important topic and that you giving people methods to help with their mental health.
My vice is running, at the start of this year i started running and it was probably the best decision of my life, it clears your head and re arranges your thoughts, loved this video and can see myself coming back again to watch it again, cheers dudey x
To anyone: If you're with a guy or girl who makes you cry everyday or makes you hate yourself please leave them. I was there. It seems obvious from the outside but I hope this helps someone !
dee bee I feel this one, the day I walked away from that relationship I felt a huge weight was lifted. I hope more people have the courage to walk away because if they’re making you cry regularly they aren’t good for you!
@@pippamarie123 exactly! I was so scared to be alone but once I did it it was like 'oh, this is actually fine!' I haven't felt the weight lifted off totally yet but I still know I did the right thing.. for those years I was in that toxic situation I was trying to work on my mental health, but everything I tried to build up was being knocked down constantly so I feel like the 2 are connected (:
dee bee I walked away nearly 5 years ago and year by year I’ve felt better and better. For sure the two probably were connected, if your putting in the work to help yourself but someone else is dragging you down all your effort feels like it’s going nowhere. I was convinced that without this person I wasn’t worth anything so the idea of walking away was impossible but once I did I came to realise and understand my own self worth was not dictated by someone else!
if i'm really feel down, i tend to just go onto youtube, watch some of my fave creators and then also search for interviews or those 'funny moments' videos of my fave actors/actresses because they really put a smile on my face :') i've also found safety and happiness in the wonderful world of harry potter more recently, having been a fan of the series while growing up. i rewatch the films every so often and i just get transported to the magic and wholesomeness that it brings me and i genuinely just feel safe while watching those films or listening to the audiobooks. like i cant be touched by the bad feelings while im in those moments
I relate to the RU-vid part of your comment, RU-vid seriously helps with my anxiety. If you’re into Harry Potter for the magical and wonderful elements I seriously recommend doctor who! It’s a fantastic show and it’s been going on for over 50 years now. It’s about a time traveling alien called the doctor. Also peaky blinders, it’s about an old English gang in the 1920s and it’s great. For comedy I’d suggest inbetweeners or fresh prince of bel air.
Great video Jordan, I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety in 2017 from guilt and grief from my dogs passing ( circumstances I don’t want to go into ) I was almost embarrassed to admit how I was feeling and didn’t want to show my emotions as I thought It would get ignored, laughed at, or people just wouldn’t understand ( especially due to the trigger of my feelings ). there are still rough days where I don’t want to get out of bed and I feel like I just can’t be bothered with the day which turns into a week or a month, but there are still some things that make me happy and help take my mind off of how crap I’m feeling. So thank you Jordan for making this video it’s nice to know you’re not alone in how you’re feeling or what’s going on in you’re head x
As always Jord. So much love for how much you attack this subject. Even tho ive taken a bit of a step back from the channel recently (not that youve needed the help, mans blowin up) you are the only RU-vidr i still watch constantly. Me leaving is mainly due to mental health but its true it does start getting better. Proud of you dude.
Dudey, i know the likelihood of this reaching you is very slim but i couldn't not take the opportunity to attempt to. Thank you for this video. Its inspiring and motivating and you make me believe i can action the changes i need to. You're sound as fuck and im gutted you arent my mate. X
I really admire everything you said in this video and it seemed to come at the right time for me. I’ve not been to uni or gotten out of bed for the last few days because my anxiety and depression has hit me like a tidal wave. Your words and thoughts on mental health is so comforting. I’ve been watching your videos for a few months now, and I rarely comment on people’s videos, but I feel like I need to let you know how amazing you are. You always seem so chill and down-to-earth, and like someone I’d wanna be mates with. (Also not to be that hoe but you’re attractive too😅😂) but yeah, sorry if this is a bit of a long comment. I just wanted to let you know that this video came for me at the right time because my mental health has been shit recently. Please keep doing what you’re doing because all your hard work is very much appreciated. Much love Jordan❤️
