    Dude i literally cried hella becaust this hits so close to home for me. I always felt like I was the only one dealing with the fear of throwing up or my stomach feeling weird. I can't tell you how many times I was late to school and got detention because of it just because I had the fear of throwing up. I couldn't eat in restaurants because I would feel like I couldn't breath and I wouldn't be able to eat anything. Last summer, everyplace I went, everytime my family wanted me to go out to dinner, I would have a panic attack and feel like throwing up and I couldn't eat for so long. Highschool also really sucks and I don't have any true friends and I feel like I can't be myself anywhere and I don't tell anyone about it so sometimes I just cry and cry and cry myself to sleep. I started listening to worship music because of you and it has changed me so much. I've never been religious and i don't know if I'm going to get baptized but I truly believe that Jesus has saved my life. I've also had suicidal thoughts and never felt like I even had a purpose. But you inspired me to start going to the gym a few years ago and now I've discovered I have a crazy v taper out of nowhere. But that's not the point. I want to thank you Alex because I can see me in your younger self. And for the first time in my 15 years of being alive, I've finally found someone who I've actually connected to truly. You've changed my life and I praise you for that. I still deal wth deppression and anxiety on a daily basis and its pretty bad but the worship music and the gym helps me block it out for short periods of time. I'm still going, and I wont stop, but the walls I've built up against it are starting to break down. And I hope that Jesus can kill it, and I can be saved from my demons. Thanks again bro, I love you dude.

      I thought I was the only one with a deathly fear of throwing up. I was always worse getting sick than my siblings. I would cry for hours when I got sick, and I would just want to die. But it wasn’t until around 2020 when that fear became very damaging. I didn’t eat anything for 6 months. I barely even drank water. It got so bad that I wouldn’t change anything about myself. I thought that if I didn’t get sick the other day wearing a outfit I thought that I would get sick if I changed my outfit. I lost 10-15 lbs. my parents were worried. I barely even grew that year and I was around 11. Ever since then I’ve been working hard and eating more food. I am bigger than most of my Friends now and I have grown 6 inches.

    My only older brother took his life on May 4th, 2017 he was 22 and I was 19. It led me into being heavily addicted to Xanax. When my mom found me having a seizure on the floor in my room, I knew it was time to change everything. I went into rehab and a sober living home to get clean & I have dedicated my life to getting my story out there & promoting mental health. 2019 2 years into being sober from Xanax I suffered a bacterial infection from cutting meat as a butcher that almost killed me. I had a 10 percent chance of living Having gone through 7 surgeries I know god is keeping me alive for a reason! I WILL NEVER STOP PROMOTING PEACE & LOVE 🙏🏽

After watching this video, I can confidently say that god used Alex as a medium to convey his message to me. I just said my first prayer in a very long time. Quit smoking 2 days ago.

    Been going through a lot recently and your videos have inspired me to get back in the gym. I used to be 160lbs after training for 3-4 years, I was 17. Then I started to make some really cruddy decisions and ended up in juvi, having withdrawals from opioids and alcohol. I dropped to 90lbs and was in the worst shape mentally and physically. And after years of recovery and I've gotten back into the gym. Im currently 130lbs and am shooting to be your size. I appreciate your videos more than you know. I hope I can meet you someday and pick your brain. You seem really intuitive, outside of the gym and in it. Much love man, stay well!

Your video made me realize that it has been her praying for me day after day and god helping me through things even though i have been ignoring him. This video made me feel something I have never felt before and I just started crying. You and your faith in god has made me want to start following god now. Thank you so much man.

    Putting yourself out there with the chance of getting backlash is being a true disciple. You are constantly motivating and pushing us to be better, as a follower of Christ and a supporter of you this video hits different. God bless all you do Alex ❤️

    Your story hits very close to me.. ive been suffering from that too that made me completely different and more cold. And now that i decided to finally battle it and feel good for once. Its an hard journey. But having faith is the light at the end of the tunnel.

    This video actually flicked a switch in me. I was a Christian since I was born but during lockdown I lost my connection to God and since then everything started falling apart. Now I do feel like I might get back on the track. I really miss enjoying sundays like I did back then. Yes Alex, You are right. This video might have changed someone's life.

    From what you described yourself growing up you sounded similar to me 15, insecure, angry, depressed, ungrateful and searching for something to fulfill me in life. You’ve really inspired me to work harder in life and care about others through your videos and for that I just wanna say thank you to you and God for helping me through life’s storms

    Currently dealing with the same shit you dealt with (derealization, anxiety, depression) I tend to self isolate a lot but I just recently got a gym membership at crunch fitness with my friend and plan to go 4-5 times a week to fight my depression. I relate to this video so much and I appreciate it much love bro

  • @peggyrose6826
    @peggyrose6826 Před rokem

    Idk how bro but I just watched your video and managed to actually stand up off the floor after hours of just weeping. Sometimes I struggle so much I feel paralysed in sadness and can’t get up but something just switched and I’m standing up. And I’ve realised how much more I need to press into God in the good and bad times. Anyone reading this just know you’re not alone, people are going through it right now even if it feels like just you.

And it goes all the way to me watching every lions den video. But Thankyou, your saving my life.

    I just came from the other 2 vids and you sharing yourself recording talks because you felt so alone made me cry because I also do that and felt wierd. Tried ending stuff once by crashing my car, but air bags saved me and ever since then Ive just felt like an absolute failure, not understanding why or how I lived a 90mph crash.
    Still have tears in my eyes because I have been struggling a lot with wanting to be gone.
    Appreciate you so much Alex, thank you seriously. That vid of you sharing the recordings, for some reason that just strikes a resemblance, i felt alone with that and like a wierdo.
    Take care man, gonna go to a Christian church sunday and speak with the pastor and explain my situation. I will mention you so he can understand how and why i am starting to go

    • @DanDoesGame

    Last week ive had someone from my college walk up to my for a bible study. Last Friday I began to reconect my relationship with god. I've begun by reading the bible every night even when I'm tired I still read. I begun to understand what prayer is for and do it every night. I'm still struggling with my past but seeing this video, it's almost like a message. Knowing that yeah, my path is not perfect because I sin. But, I'm connecting each day. Thank you alex for this. You truly are inspiring people no just with physical content but with your mind and spirit. This made me think that I am going in the right path. It ain't perfect but it's alright.

  • @christianc397
    @christianc397 Před 10 měsíci

    Alex, thank you. I’m 20yo and also struggled for years with bad anxiety, derealization, agoraphobia. I had no quality of life thinking about it. When i hit rock bottom i was so nihilistic i’ll be honest. I genuinely thought there was no meaning to anything. But over time, God guided me back to him. I did the research. I researched every category if science you can think of and it all led me to God. From there, randomly my closest friend shared your video on the lions den channel and said this sounds like what you had. I couldn’t believe it. But since then, i have been recovering from the anxiety, getting into the best physical shape ive been in, training for a marathon and most importantly my faith is stronger than ever. Once i fully researched the bible and Jesus, i found my way to him. I’m watching this video now and honestly it made me cry. Thank you for everything you do,
    God bless.

  • @Pxild00

    I'm new to your channel I've been watching you for about a month or two now and since I clicked on one of your videos it honestly changed my life, I was close to giving up on my faith because life has been really rough recently with my parents splitting up and losing my job and has caused my depression to become really bad lately but watching your videos gives me hope that everything is going to be okay and since I've started watching you I've quit smoking and vaping entirely and I've started going to the gym as of February 1st and have made it a goal of mine to go from 225 lbs to 175 by summer at the latest, but anyways I just want to say thank you for everything and hopefully God puts you in my path and I get to meet you one day and be able to thank you in person because you truly saved my life just by being you and doing what you do.

    your analogies were perfect especially the puzzle piece one (15:36)
    i've been feeling and understanding that i haven't been living right for a while, i couldn't put my finger on why.
    i've been feeling like i need a relationship or certain things like more money and stuff to live good and feel good again,
    today/ recently, the idea of what can i do for others, not for myself, has been coming up. the puzzle piece thing is a perfect way to put it...
    surrender and ask god for strength. you got this whoever is reading this. love💙
