You May Need to Hear This

God bless you Alex and everyone else!

Thank you man. This was such a kind message and it helping me get through my long day today. I always put your videos on to distract me You’re a good man Alex.

It’s weird that this got suggested to me today after having another YouTube group I like discuss mental health in there podcast it’s been a tough battle for a few years trying to rediscover the basics of how to live and want to do that and hearing both of these today has really helped

Thank you reminding me it's okay to not be okay and not to stay in that place. I have a grandson , he is 3, he is terminal . He is doing wonderful , everyday is a blessing . The sadness does creep in, even in the moments of happiness. We have taken the stance , we are all dying everyday we just don't know, that has kept us grounded. My job had suffered, my finances have suffered I'm headed for bankruptcy. And guess what ? I'd do it all again for this boy . Please remember to tell the people you love that you love them . I have been humbled to my knees. Thank you Alex for your kind words , thank you for the content that keeps me smiling . I found you a month ago . I check out and watch your rectuons along with other on you tube. It's been a positive thing for me . Life is good for my family medical wise at the moment but that could change any moment. We are all in grief counseling. We sre strong , and as of now we are healthy . I have a positive outlook but some days that mountain seems impossible....I leave all of you with this. Please be kind you never know what someone is going through and smiles hide alot. Bless you Alex ! Keep it going!!

I’ve been struggling with my mental health for a while now but I really needed to hear this today, Alex. Thank you so much for just being your awesome self!

My mom just died very, very recently. I'm still having trouble accepting it. It's something that was a long time coming and we all knew the day was approaching fast. I'm very thankful that I had the opportunity to spend a little time with her during her final days. Yes, it's heartbreaking and terrible but she knew that I loved her and I absolutely knew that she loved me. That's really the most that anyone can ask for. This is the first death in my family that I've experienced. I don't know how to process it. I've pretty much just continued on throughout my day as I would any other. I wake up, get a shower in, get dressed for my day and either let my caregiver in (I'm paralyzed from the waist down) or I just go about my day solo. I'm usually either gaming or watching some nonsense online. That's pretty much every day for me. Not really fulfilling but I'm okay with that! I'm not after anything crazy or exciting. I'm perfectly alright with mellow and calm days.

Thank you Alex. A lot of people may laugh but Fred Rogers is my hero. You said something that he held as a core value too. It's ok to feel sad or mad. It is ok to feel your feelings. You are still loved even if you're not ok. We appreciate you brother and keep being you.

These last 4 months have been some of the best in terms of content, I love when you post it’s one of the things I look forward to in the week but these last 4 months have also been some of the worst, I’ve been friends with this one girl and I don’t know if she likes me, last month I asked her if she liked me she said she did but that she liked “blank” more. (not saying names for the sake of anonymity) Anyways it’s been a month or so now and I’m not sure what to do, she acts like she likes me she’s flirty with me, but I’m afraid to ask if she likes me or not and ruin an amazing friendship. It’s been amazing with her but also draining knowing I’m putting all this time and effort into her and all she sees me as is a friend. I’m just not sure what to do.

Thanks for the thoughts Alex. I could probably drown this chat with all my negative energy but I’ll just keep it simple. I am tired, completely miserable and severely depressed. I hate my existence on this planet working myself to death for meaningless pieces of paper, and I’ve lost all hope and dreams that it’ll ever get better while being painfully aware that it could easily get worse. My spark is gone; all that’s left is an exposed nerve.

❤️❤️❤️

You are the best, Alex ♥️ Thank you so much for videos like this, I think they're more badass than every other video can be 😌 I'm struggling with depression and anxiety and that's okay. I have therapy, but it's so hard to change for the better, to be nice to myself. I'm currently just trying to find my way ... So ... Thank you so much for your honesty and kindness, it helps a lot. ♥️

Aloha ke akua

You can't fathom the impact you've had these last 3 months on me, I lost my job for a health problem, and during this time I've been watching ALL of your videos to make me feel better, your energy is exactly what I need to keep my days going. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!!! btw, I hope someday you make a soft comedy series, like robin hood man in tights, airplane, hot shots, or something like that. Once again, THANK YOU!!!!

Thank you so much for this, Alex! I hope this week is filled with happy moments for you and everyone on here! 💐✌🏻💗

Thank you Alex for the reminder to wake up and be grateful... Every day. Sometimes I forget that. I got issues just like everyone else but I'm good. Love your posts, positive energy and sense of humor. It's infectious.

Hey Alex, long time viewer, Patreon subscriber for a few months & big fan. Our 13 year old cat passed away a few days ago so that's what's hurting us at the moment. So glad we have your funny videos to watch & temporarily take our minds off our sadness. Keep up the good work, you're doing a great job xx

Hey Alex. Thanks you so very much for this message to all of us. I'm a 40yo from Germany, struggeling every day with being away from my two children (4 and 1 yo) for Work every day, to get them a good Life, Always asking myself If I am good enough, doing enough. When I get Home from Work, everybody ist already sleeping, sitting alone Here, your Videos provide so much Help. Especially this one, wich I needed this morning so much without knowing it in the First place. Thank you so much again. It's Always so wholesome seeing you enjoy the Same movies and series I love so much. Just thanks you. All the best for you and Sarah.

Thanks for this, Alex. That's a great point about the phone. I'm taking a class right now on taking back your time, and one of the core mantras is "Create before you consume." Good luck on ditching the electronic ball and chain. 💖

yessah alex. I hope youve been welcomed to the islands well. Thanks for giving me something to look forward to every week. ( esp now cause star wars content ) But anyway Thank you for being you bro. Cheeee

Needed this today, Alex. You don't know me but I love the heck out of you for going out of your way for making this. Working through some addiction stuff and this was a breath of fresh air. If you delay stuff for this, you're a real one. Travelling to Japan soon and trying to kick addictions and alcoholism is hard. My dad just put the nail in the coffin that he doesn't care about me. I'm sure you, Alex relate. Just trying to stay positive. This is also my first night lowering my antidepressants (hopefully I can feel emotion again; let's gooooooo) You're a blessing Alex, and so is your community. I don't know ya but I love ya.

Yes Alex! I'm not ok and that is ok. Thank you! I sign to your Patreon to watch the cool stuff that I love "along" with you and use some of your Energy on those reactions to feel better and it has been great. I really appreciate your concern to our Mental Health and it is comforting knowing that you are encouraging the community to share thoughts and strengths. Keep it up... Peacee!

You felt the force my friend

i just got your patreon membership today because i have really been struggling hard lately and in a really bad place physically and mentally but finding your channel and finding that youre loving all the same stuff i love and enjoying it when i have no one else makes me feel something i havent felt in a while, actual joy. your videos get me through every day and your humor gives me life. this video made me cry and i thank you and love you so much for this because i really needed it. ive needed to hear this for a while.

This is one of the reasons I love your content. I have spoke in with you/him in the DMs briefly about some of the issues I face and why I enjoy the content. A little over a year ago my wife left me. I gained custody of my son and moved across the US to be with my family for support. I spent several months door dashing while looking for better work. I gained work making good money but I quickly hit the off season and work is limited in hours. Because of the move and being self employed for a while I don't qualify for unemployment during my off weeks get. I am staying with my grandmother until I get in my feet. My son can't get his own room yet but one day I hope. Relationships have been a struggle. I have had two relationship not go well since my divorce. Being 30 years old I find making friends is difficult. People have their live established and schedules set. I'm holding out for my disability with the VA to go through. I hope they brings in enough money to allow me to move out on my own with my son so we can have our own space and rooms. I know it's not going to make me happy but I hope it will make things a little easier. I'm currently on anti depression medication and well as for ADHD. I'm starting my live over with my 4 year old son. I hope one day I will be where I once was with a place to call my own and a family to go home to. In the mean time I have my mother's side of the family to support me while I bounce back and this patreon to get me through my down time.

Thanks for everything, Alex. Hope you and Sarah are doing great

Thank you so much for this video! I'm currently disabled with chronic migraines (I get about 1-2 days a month relatively pain-free; although my last pain-free day was in November, if I remember correctly) and I also suffer from CPTSD and Recurrent MDD from 7 yrs of CSA as a kid. So, needless to say, my nervous system is shot to sh*t. Watching your reactions has been so helpful at keeping my spirits up, and with my health being the way it is, positivity is one of the best things I can do to combat my issues. Sending you (and your wife) so much thanks and love!! 🙏🏾 ❤️

First off I think you are awesome, I've been really enjoying watching you experience movies/tv/music videos that I enjoy. I truly enjoy your filthy (in the best way) sense of humor, don't ever stop!! It is sometimes hard to talk about the tough things, whatever they are. The way you talked in this vid reminded my husband and myself of a lovely Star Trek actress that we have the privilege of knowing. Her name is Chase Masterson (Deep Space Nine) and if you look up her TedTalk on YouTube you'll get a sense of what I mean. Having just shared something ver personal on a recent Star Trek podcast I'm a part of I can attest that it is nice to have someone to share the painful things with. Apologies if this rambled a bit, I tend to do that.

I appreciate that. I busted my ass for two years at a startup game studio, accepted talks of a needed pay increase be delayed for 2 years. Finally I have a merit based pay increase, and it was 3%, over 2 years. My rent increased more than that. It's an insult. Apparently I'm still waiting on "level setting" to happen, but not getting any word on it, while my lead legitimately told me i'm worth 40k more than what I'm getting paid right now. I'm put into a position where I'm incentivized to job hunt and leverage myself walking out the door and acting like a piece of shit to get what I deserve or bend over and take it. I'll play whatever game I'm thrown into, and I'll win. But I just feel so gross having to interview with companies knowing full well my priority is to use a job offer as leverage, and I'm just so disillusioned. So much crunch and so little appreciation for everything I went through. I appreciate you making this post. I just want to be in a spot where I'm not struggling to pay for my rent and my student loans. You'd think making 6 figures would be enough but with grad school student loans, it's just barely getting by x.x I need the mental load off me. I appreciate the respite I get feeling like I have somebody to just relax with, even when I'm not feeling like being around anybody. We'll get through it

Dude, I love you, this message hit the nail on the head with me today. The last few months, I have been working towards buying a brand truck for my own, tiny little company as a long haul truck driver and today I signed the paperwork, picked up the truck and it's now sitting outside of my house. I keep running to the window and looking at it because I'm having mixed emotions - - pride at the fact that part of my small dream is sitting RIGHT THERE, terror because I'm now in debt past my eyeballs, nervous as hell for it to even get a scratch on it and, finally, freaking the f!@# out just in general at seeing a giant purple Kenworth that doesn't even have twenty miles on it just sitting there. With everyone in my life telling me what a mistake I'm making in doing this, I really needed this positive message and you've put some of my nerves at ease. Yeah, I might fail and spend a good portion of my life paying the truck off, however, I know I'd regret it far, far more if I didn't try for it. Wish me luck on my first trip with her - - from my home-state of Oregon to Florida with a generator the size of a small house. lol. I really need a good name for her too, if anyone's got any ideas - - as said, she's big and purple so chime in. lol. Looking forward to more of you as always, Alex, and ty so much for this message and for caring more about your supporters rather than just what you can get out of them. Hope life is treating you good as I lowkey hope for some more scary movies/series to see how high you jump! lol

This made me cry, but in a semi good way. Alcohol is my biggest struggle right now, but I'm also aware of the great things I have in my life. I finally found a job I love and I'm closer with my family than I've been in a long time. I just don't want to blow either of those things.

Thank you Alex, I consume your content as a way where I watch things with you, as if I'm watching something as a friend and that is more than just consuming your content, it's like spending time with a friend ❤️

Discover you not a long time ago and love your content and energy

Thank you Alex. I've been following you on YouTube for like 2years now. And just recently subscribed to your patreon. I seriously appreciate you as a person and your videos they always make me smile. Although I'm not really struggling that bad. I have just been in that where everything is the same moment, so I really was happy to hear that. And thank you for that cause it also helped me realize that I shouldn't be afraid or struggle with the asking my gf to marry me phase so thank you for pushing me with your words.

My aunt died on Friday, I've spent the weekend mostly by myself watching your videos, it's helped me alot. I can't stop thinking about her last breath and you keep me giggling at your videos with your sense of humor Thanks

Thank you for those very kind words Alex!! 🙂

This is honestly so sweet. Thank you Alex.

Thanks Alex. That was a great video. I lost my job a couple weeks ago and am worried I won't find another one that I will enjoy as much or in time to pay my bills. I had to cancel all my subscriptions to patreon and streaming services until I can get my finances back in order. You gave me hope that everything is going to be ok. Keep up the great work and thank you again for all you do. You are by far the wildest (in the best way possible) reactor I have seen on YouTube and always unpredictable.

Thank you 🙂🙂🙂🙂

Thanks for making this video Alex. Unexpected but I definitely needed and appreciated this. Definitely related when you talked about life feeling like a desert with a million directions of where to go but not knowing where to go. I worry about it too much but I think I just need to trust the process and things should fall in place. Much love ❤️

Thank you so much for posting this. I'm going through a divorce and struggling so hard for quite some time with my mental health. Anxiety and depression has been crippling, before this blindside. Literally have a therapy session in 30 minutes and I feel so down that I didn't really want to show up. Doesn't make sense, and I still don't, but you remind me of how much I try to show my kids that they are never alone and it is always okay to feel however you feel or to feel multiple things at once. So off I go. Thank you!

Alex thank you so much for making this video and I really needed to hear this today. And I’m really thankful for your checkup videos even if you don’t think they mean much they really really do .🙂

As far as if anybody needs to reach out and just want somebody to shoot the shit with, feel free to hit me up. I'm always down for new friends

really needed this, thank you. big love to you Alex

Dude I absolutely love watching your reactions. I subscribe so I can watch the full video reactions. It's like hanging out with a friend and watching stuff I like. You're funny, your personable, and you just seem like a really great dude. If you ever do any fan meetups, I'm in Texas too LOL

I needed this Alex my depression has fucked hard with me lately

Thanks, man. You’re one of the bright spots of my week! Keep on keepin’ on!!

And I hope everything works out for you

Alex you may love us but we love 50000000000000X more

Thank you Alex :)
