Struggling in Your Life Right Now? Watch This! (Vlog) 

I think there is a severe lack of appreciation out there. It's amazing how much better it makes you feel when someone tells you they appreciate you. I appreciate you.

Thank you friend, I guess a lot of people are struggling because I felt like this was directed straight to me. A few kind words from a stranger to make a lot of difference. Thanks once again.😥👍🏻

For anyone whose suffering: Things won't be the way you wanted or now want but things will be better. Just hang in there and witness the next chapter of your life unfold.

Struggling to find a job right now and feel like most people define your worth by your job and how much money you make, kinda bringing me down but I know i'm not alone in feeling this. Brings me some peace.

Yes you reached me. I appreciate your sentiment. You only need to reach one person and the consequences can be endless. Thank you for sharing.

Wow Bro!!! This hits home for me as I was watching in tears. I’ve been struggling this past year with. Loneliness is one of them. May look tough outside but crumbling inside. One of my way to release is to write songs. So I release them so if someone is going through some tough times, like you said “you’re not alone”. Thank you for those words!! I’m able to find comfort in your video. Thank you. One of the songs I wrote was titled, Loneliness. ❤

Such a coincidence. I was just thinking about how long I’ve been struggling with life in general. Like last night. My mental health has been in steady decline for years now. I have severe PTSD and depression. I live alone. I work and I come home. Period. I have no friends left. Everyone is dead. Everyone. The way I lived my life for the first half of it is the reason for my struggles now. I was a scumbag. I was a drug dealer. My ptsd is from being shot on three separate occasions. I don’t feel safe ANYWHERE. Not at home. Not at work. Never. It’s so stressful to be watching everyone’s hands when you’re out in public. I work at Home Depot, where people will walk up to you with an axe in one hand and a hammer in the other and that’s just normal. It’s super stressful. I don’t know how to fix it. I’ve been in therapy for YEARS. But I’m trying. Thanks for making this video and sorry for the long comment. Just hit close to home.

I think this is genuinely a lovely video. They may not get many views, but my favorite videos of yours are when you just kind of share your thoughts on whatever. My favorite video of yours has always been when you reviewed that cyberpunk taxi cab game. I think you have an interesting and honestly wise way of looking at stuff, so videos like this are great imo.

Times have changed so much. The world is so fast now and some of us can't keep up. Wise encouraging words mate and hope you're good too.

The internet age sadly has us drawn to negative news. Although it's good to be informed, it does affect people including myself. Gratitude and appreciation for the good things in life can be swallowed up by our internal ruminating and focus. I love the forest setting. By the way, I'm 56 .. always had depression. Long term depression is hard to fix but .. is manageable. Videos like this are inspiring and thank you for recognizing peoples difficulties. It's nice to have a supportive voice in what seems sometimes like a 'dog eat dog' world. Thanks again.

What kept me up at night was my CPAP Machines pressure being set to high and literally made my eyelids fart due to 14 CPAP pressure. I learned how to adjust it due to losing ~5 stone since stopping drinking.

This was great brother. Thank you! Blessings and good wishes sent right back at you. ❤

You're the best! I thought those huts are built by bigfoot! 😂 My struggle is worrying daily about my 34 year old son who has a fentanyl & meth addiction. He is my only "child". Now he has developed frequent episodes of psychosis. 😢

Hey thanks for the kind words. You're doing alright too!

Wow, that was so real and so honest. Same here in the USA as we're all lied to about how unemployment is down, economy is wonderful, etc . . . Meanwhile everyone is dying on the vine and melting. EVERYTHING you say is 100% true. So sad to see families hurting and children looking for food. You are not a good man . . . You're a great man. Thank you for your big heart, empathy, and compassion.

Thank you for this message. You choked me up it was very kind, like everyone else been going through some storms. Meant a lot 😘

Love the vlogging in nature vids 💯 Poignant video, my guy. Agree with all your points. We really are living in unprecedented times, though I will be quick to say that restless times have always existed and, yes, some are similar to what we're currently going through, but the biggest variable that changes everything today and makes these times truly unprecedented is the internet & accompanying tech. We are "Generation 0" when it comes to living with the internet & quick-access tech. That alone is a tremendous, but then add to it the events of the modern day and things become too much. Truth is: no one knows what to do. We're all in a thick fog and everyone is trying put themselves on a good path given the information they currently have, taking leaps into a road unknowable. Good luck out there, bros At least we have Thumper

I don’t know what the odds were of me stumbling across this video, but I am glad I did. I’m struggling in quite literally ever facet of my life right now. Relationships, money, family, work, school, everything. I feel so empty, exhausted, and hopeless. I feel like I’m on this hamster wheel, and no matter how fast I run I can’t catch up. I really appreciate your words. Thank you for posting this

Blessed be. Love you man. Never ever thought this crazy world would bring such a platform, and such wonderful folk in your discord community. Struggles come in every shape and size. Mine deal with mental health, race, queer identity, and all the things that transcend a neat label. I'm an odd duck. What's your "super power?" We ALL have one. I like to think mine is music. It is ephemeral, temporary and unquantifiable. It evaporates as quickly as it heals and changes souls. It is as worthless as it is essential. It makes people think and envision harmony and the greater good. It's a language as old as time, and it binds us to our ancestors from all cultures. I chose it as much as it chose me. AMOR VINCIT OMNIA!!

My Friend, I dont know exactly what inspired you to make a video of this nature, but having 'been there' myself years ago, I can tell that you have had an experience of a similar nature at some point in your life that left you with this incredible perspective. It truly is the little things, like a comforting video like this, and just letting others know that after all, we are all just People, working to find our way thru, so thank you sincerely for making this video. It reached me at the exact right time that I needed it. I got sober(finally), on 6/8/2020 and have not looked back. My personal sobriety journey, has taught me so much about thinking of others first. If anyone out there, is struggling, with anything, as was shared so well here, you are NOT alone, and there is always an option for help. And dont forget, you are so worth it. Dont give up on yourself. Reach out. God Bless :)

Just be sure to check yourself for ticks after walking in the woods!

Thanks for your kind words of encouragement

To hear a reminder that I am enough...Wow. I did not realize how hard I have been on myself.

Excellent message and one I try to remind myself of regularly. My own personal struggles are the health of loved ones, isolation and challenge of running a business solo. Constant noise in my head that I'm not doing enough. Have to keep positive and appreciate the good. Getting out in nature has always worked wonders for me when I'm feeling down. Thanks, always loved your videos.

You're a real one thanks for supporting your community

It's very comforting to find a creator reaching out to his subs beyond the standard subject matter of his channel. Good on you!

there is like this natural law over everything under the sun. everything comes in waves, day, night, birth, death, happiness- sadness. relying on happiness is like relying on motivation when trying to get in shape in the gym. the motivation passes and you stop going. the waves of happiness and sadness will beat you down to the ground. achieving and maintaining happiness is impossible and will only lead to frustration and pain. the only way to be is to find peace, and there is only one source of it. only one true way that can give you peace. im a firefighter and during a fire i broke my back. 5 vertebrae to be exact. ive now spent over 4 months not being able to do most things i enjoy. but at the same time im not happy or sad, i simply have peace. no worrying, no mental pain, just peace.

These are good words. I dont know what I'm supposed to do. It scares me. There are so many options. I go to the woods and beach to think and cry. Nature does not judge your tears. The seawall at the beach is always there for me, a cold stony shoulder to lean on, no matter the weather. The waves have no choice but to be my companion for a fleeting moment. How can you be alone when you hear water crash, when birds keep you company, when the wind speaks through the trees. Just give it another day, tomorrow waits. . Things will be better in time. I truly hope.

I watch your channel quite a lot, so wasn't sure what to expect with this vlog. I honestly thought you were speaking directly to me. I'm going through some dark times having lost my soul mate of 20 years (following a short illness). We were married for just 2 weeks, so I guess you know where this is going. Anyway, yes I've been struggling for 2 years now (still cry every day) I'd like to say things are getting easier but they're not if I'm honest. Every day is a challenge, but I'm stubborn and refuse to give in just yet. So, I wanted to say Thank you for your vlog, it came at a good time for me personally. Bless you.

I needed to find this video tonight! How incredibly random! I have a lot of self doubt. Something I’ve dealt with since childhood. Although I have kept this contained for long periods of time, it seems to be a problem now. Thank you you for the video.

Just remember that people in every generation have to navigate challenging times - whether it's war, rationing, strikes, unemployment, loneliness, illness, poverty, etc. I just take each new day as it comes and try not to exhaust myself by worry about the things I have no control over. I found this made life much more manageable and allowed me to focus more on the good parts.

This was really unexpected but it made me smile. I'm struggling with guilt over leaving my family in Canada to move to the US to start a family here. I'm struggling with guilt over not being a good enough mom and wife. I'm struggling with fear over how scary it is to raise young children in this culture. I'm struggling with having doubts in my faith. And I do feel lonely even though we are all so connected online. I grew up around my grandparents, aunts, uncles, and so many cousins and it was just wonderful. I'm so sad that I can't give that to my own children. Thank you for sharing this 😊

Thank you for the positive message! I really needed to hear this today and it brightens my spirit. Mahalo!

Inspiration is what I feel after watching this vlog. Thank you for this. I worry about having enough money and food to survive. I live alone with my 2 cats (not really all alone). ❤ you.

Thanks brother sometimes that's all some people need is just a few kind words to keep them going I new I subbed to this channel for a reason your alright man many thanks

Why did this pop up and play on my auto feed right now while finally deciding my lack of any quality of life is not worth continuing with. For those depressed with problems that can be changed, change them, for those still able to get out of bed, be grateful for a body that works, for those that can see difficulty as a temporary thing to get through, get through it. Do what you have to with what you have, talk, share, get support and advice for there are some of us who have none of that and would love to be in your shoes with the hope and chance of a better future. Some of us reach the end of the road where there is nowhere left to fall, so please help yourself before you find yourself here too.

I’m saving this to listen too again. I needed this. Honestly, today especially, I needed a video like this. Ty ❤

I can't tell you how much I appreciate this video. Thank you. I'm a single Canadian mom, I have a 27 year old Autistic son. He's amazing and I love him more than worlds. What's keeping me up at night is a very heavy worry. Our prime minister is a weak man, and Canada usually follows America's lead in most things. They're in the process of finalising a draft which would include disabled people. I just don't have the words to express my worries over this. I can't imagine my gentle son in a foreign land with a gun that was shoved into his hands. This is what's been keeping me up at nights. My disabled son being drafted into a war as meat for the grinder. He would mean nothing to them, he is everything to me.

Loneliness has become a bigger issue because of social media. People do not talk anymore to eachother, hence creating more distance between you and the rest. My word of advice, put your phone, tablet or computer down and spend some quality time with friends and family

I read a young girls post once, it said be careful how you treat people because you don't know, what they're going going through, respect for others, self and love is everything 💞💞💞🌟.

For the past 2.5 years I've been living under a constant threat of artillery strikes, we get warnings and multiple sirens almost every day, as well as occasional hits on the city. There's also an ever present possibility of me being forced to fight in the war. I lost my dream job to economic sanctions. My family is in debt and is struggling month to month. My motivation has been incapacitated this entire time. I can't find a job, I can't force myself to keep looking and keep working on myself and my skills. And there's no sign of it getting better any time soon. I'm having a hard time finding will power to do anything productive, so 80% of the time I just rot and feel bad about myself.

Thanks for taking the time to record this vlog. You seem like a nice guy.

Great video, and I’m actually glad to hear something like this. You’re right, we all are going through it, and it helps to release some of the pent up feelings. I’m currently been feeling the weight of the political atmosphere as neighbors have recently hung a Trump flag. The fact that I’m in an interracial relationship, in a ‘red’ area, has me constantly thinking I need to be in a defensive posture/position. I’d like to add that, I have interacted with some really kind younger people(I just recently leveled up to 39) So I’m not all doom and gloom about my surrounding area. I guess I’m feeling positive in some ways, but still feel I need to be cautious just outside my front door. Hope everyone is doing well, loving, respecting and looking out for each other!

This was a completely unexpected, peasant, and welcome surprise. Thank you for posting this.

Thanks mate, that gave me a good boost before I go to sleep, I just started a new job (haven't worked for 5 years and I am getting old) and its has its challenges, but I needed this to adapt faster, thanks! I know there are people that need this more, but this helped me feel better where I am in life.

I'm a recent follower of yours: I started watching your UFO debunking videos (which I love) a month ago or so. This video is quite a surprise for me, and I'm just as surprised by me writing this comment instead of reading the other people's comments and passing by. I never talk about my problems, especially in public to strangers like in this occasion, but who knows, maybe it will help in some way. So, here's my thing: Since high school I have low self esteem; moreover, through the years I made a lot of friends, but progressively all of them left except for two. This situation led me to think that it's not worth to talk to new people, because sooner or later they would leave as well, and eventually I became a lonely and pessimist introvert that sees people as potential opportunists looking for a favor. I know it is not true and it's a toxic way of thinking, but I can't help it and this makes me see myself as a bad person. Despite my crumbling mental situation, however, I somehow manage to be kind to people, or at least not a douchebag, and that's the important thing. Last but not least, my depression (which is supposed because undiagnosed) makes me constantly feel that something bad is about to happen, so I'm constantly living in an unjustfied fear even if my life is actually quite peaceful.

Geeee, this bigfoot footage is soooo fake… Well… interesting input. Must have taken some courage to throw yourself on this one. And I humbly think you did good. I second most of your take on the madness and challenges of our time. Kindness does miracles. Been following you not since long, but this unexpected, unscripted, potentially tricky, and honest share, falls just right. So it feels just right to support your work, and the spirit you put in your channel. One more lunatic signing onboard your merry band ^^ Thanks for this brave and positive breather from the - so sadly - always faked footages. (though I’m planning to come at you with some challenging ones asap (from 80s/90s pre-CGI age)) ^^ Take care of yourself too sneezingmonkey, and thanks for the positive vibe. Cheers!

I love to be alone. problems arise when I'm not. :'D I still love people as well, but they are so hard to understand.

Thanks, buddy.This came on a good day....when I really needed it. Was feeling like shitl but not any more

Another great video my friend !!! Thanks

People have always been struggling. History of every country and its people is well documented. It is doubtful that mankind before industry and things many think nothing of now unless it suddenly is not working. That mankind wandering threw the forests or in any other place just looking for something to be able to eat was not struggling. Most parents who had kids had to struggle give things up. Change their lifestyle because they could not afford doing the many of the things they had been doing. Problem becomes the more you have. The harder it is to hold on to all of it. And if you can you just want more things which cost money you do not have.

I think that COVID did a number on society, that we're still getting out from under. I know me and my husband found it hard to un-isolate ourselves afterwards, and still haven't achieved the social life we had before 2020. Also, it's hard to feel positive and optimistic when the entire world seems to be struggling with authoritarianism and fascism.

You should vlog outside that would be cool, depression sucks it's like a rollercoaster from hell but I'll ride it out to the end because you never know what can happen but it's rough.

This is great dude, thank you keep grinding ✊

I don't know if I quite have sleepless nights, but I my family fell apart fuck 7/8 years ago and it really broke me, I've been puttin (Writing, drawing, making music), but I find it very hard still to go back to that stuff and really dive into it the way I used to, and there is this sort of guilt / sadness eating away at me because people often told me I was really good at these things, so it feels like I'm wasting my talent, but at the same time I don't really believe anyone would care if I did commit to this stuff and I keep telling myself that ultimately it wouldn't be worthwhile anyway, and I can't tell if I believe that anymore or I'm just using it as an excuse to not try. It's tough.

Over the last few months i feel like my only friends have started to abandon me

This made me emotional, i love your videos and now i think i love you too

This is me. Thank you.

I am definitely isolated after years with anxiety, struggles parenting children with health issues, then COVID and a car accident that has left me not wanting to leave the house and angry. I think there are a few things I need to be done to feel better and until then I can’t stop being angry, if that makes sense. What is even more annoying is that I was in therapy for my anxiety with driving and then this idiot nearly killed me and my Mum, then manhandled by ambulance crew, useless healthcare and Police make me feel like I have to fight for justice and prove that I am still in pain, it’s ridiculous. I always want a bubble around me, a certain space where people don’t get near me, like in shops but also when driving. So now this has happened, when I do leave the house I get wound up with anyone that is what I feel is an idiot that is too close. It’s hard to not feel like it doesn’t matter what I do, some idiot is going to make things harder for me. I know I need therapy, but when I went for that even the therapist, who I had told I don’t feel safe in the world, told me he was held at gunpoint. I resort to contacting people online because hopefully I’ll find the sort of people that aren’t idiots, who can make me laugh all from the comfort of my own home. And then I found this video. I do think a lot of people are idiots and definitely judge too much but I’ve got the survival instinct at least, Thank you. I appreciate you ❤

Good Lad, it’s weird since Covid lockdown that people aren’t anti-social but we are now not as social sadly .. Don’t no why , it seems we have re-evaluated our world and want a much simple existence without the layers of consumerism we used to distract us … great video matey ..

Unemployment and inflation are not down here in California 😮😮😮😮😢

You’re a good man, TSM. A kind heart and emotionally intelligent head are the best kit for an amble through a woodland or life for that matter, imho. Two points, 1) Desiderata - some say a little cheesy but it’s along the lines of Kahlil Gibran’s Prophet. 2) “OMG, it’s a fat…rat…in a British forest (I paraphrase).” - Brother, with that wonderful accent ? you had me in total stitches. I hope YOU are ok. ‘Go placidly midst the noise and the haste..’ MR

Any Bigfoot sightings?

failed my exam. have to pass it next time. i think i can, but the writing will take 2 days of effort and it's a course i dislike a lot.

Myself ..... there's just to many areas to improve

Dont worry,your Life will be over one time!

I'm here.

Thank you so much

Wish you could debunk the American government...im just so tired of never getting what i need...the government got its way ...im exhausted...just exhausted

I prefer these 🙂, sleepless nights... war, starving children, people with mental illness and no one to help them, feeling guilty because the world is going through so much, and i need a support worker to go to the supermarket. Feeling, not good enough. Bless you and everyone else, we are the human race, we exist, no matter what. We are, here, and we are living ❤❤❤.

If you made 10,000 USD per day since 1776, you still would not have 1 billion dollars. This puts into perspective the level of wealth inequality that exists. When there's several individuals that have hundreds of billions, AND PAY LITTLE TO NO TAXES; you really have to think "when is it time to stop being so nice"

Are you from Cologne Germany? That's my favorite city. It's an old city. It use to be called "After De Shavein" but they didn't like that name and changed it to Cologne many years ago 😅

Say hi to David Shapiro if you see him.

💛

i struggle with my dad being gone

👏

I love the honesty, BUT instead of pointing out the structure here and there kids building.. YOU should stop and add to one!! That's what makes us connected, not alone, community without needing the media OMG helped. As a society we work together.. this me me me has to stop.. so STOP ! Just add to the that fort u passed. Love your shows. Just saying we all can be involved, without the pay on the back. Love you

Squirrel!

I will say what keeps me up at night you see im a special needs person I can’t read or do much of anything so I do what I do playing sports because when I was younger I loved it but now in my 20s I only like American sports like baseball but living in the uk and living in Stoke I have pretty much no opportunities and because most of the community is pretty far away it leaves me thinking people are jugeing it gets really lonely even when I go out side I have no friends too so yh that’s most of it and is hard enough getting a job

Watched it. Still struggling

Ooh spider web in my face daddy ooh woo

Why don't you move to California? 3 of my neighbors are from Germany. Youd fit right in here

Watch out for dogmen.. 😜🎈

I will say. I am a 65 y.o. male I had a long time g.f. that broke up with me I was 62 and she was 45 at the time. I couldn't keep up with her libito. 20 year gaps are not good.

hello im bak

Nah

You have very wise words😢❤ would it be ok to talk to you like WhatsApp Facebook I have a lot of things to discuss as well much love from London
