Two things:
1. If I look tired, its because I probably am. Thanks for pointing it out haha..
2. I was reluctant in making this video partially because I don't want any sympathy. I just wanted to normalize not being 100%, 100% of the time. Stay safe, see you soon
I guess you may get something better, empathy. I haven't, but I can see in the comments that there are a lot of real cool and empathetic people that have struggled with those feelings that may understand and support you. You got this, you're such a great content creator and you look like a great person. I wish you the best and the strength to keep going. As Dr. Disrespect said: "Keep sprinting, don't ever stop". Greetings from Colombia. 🎩🧐🙏🏻❤️🤗🔥🇨🇴
If you ever need anything reach out man.
It is hard not to be like “Hey have you tried this or that?”
And that comes across as being dumb and missing the point.
There are people who have been through hard times who could at least share what is working for them, and I know most of them would talk about it.
❤HUG
You're allowed some time off - recharge yourself. I've lived in that rut - rest and recharge works for me. Everyone needs a time-out - THIS should be yours.
Hang in there man! BRILLIANT content!
Love and God bless you always ❤
Most of the people who are subscribed to your channel are not just fans of your content. We are first and foremost fans of YOU. We love the videos, both magic and puzzles. But the things that make us love them are not whats being shown, it’s the guy showing them. Take care of yourself and stay well, because we all love you ❤
I don't think so, he's a puppet for entertainment
Well said @benjones3946 . I agree 💯
Absolutely. I come here to listen to this guy.
Exactly! Well said. Love you Chris. Support all the way. I think we are all feeling a little jangly. I've stopped watching the news and scrolling social endlessly. Spent a weekend alone (not lonely) camping in the woods. No phone. Was an eye-opener on all the mess going on inside of me. And you are so right - one small step at a time. We will get through.
Well said!!!!!!
Thank you for sharing. As someone who goes through low moods, particularly around autumn, and also attempting to finish 50k words of writing this month, the creative struggles are very real and shared.
More power to you for pushing through and publicly posting something anyway, which is much more than most, including myself, get to.
If its around autumn it may be SAD seasonal affective disorder which has many ways to reduce its effects such as taking vitamin D or buying a lightbox.
Dont mean to diagnose but just thought I'd let you know in case you hadn't seen anyone about it. Feel free to ignore all of this or see a professional who knows what they're talking about.
Brother don't be so hard on yourself. We all go through this. Sometimes you just need to hit the pause button and take some time to refocus. Be well to all.
Thank you. I know it's hard. Lately I've been dealing with the same nasty stuff, it feels worse than usual. Take some time for yourself, but don't forget that friends and us here are good to cheer your up if you need it. Stay strong. 💪🏻
I suffer from SADs too. I have this little ritual I do (not saying you or anyone should do this...just mentioning it) for the 6 weeks leading up to Winter Solsltice that helps me get over the down/darkness that the lack of Sun often brings to those of us who live in the North. It's called Sunwait. Every Thursday evening for 6 weeks straight, I light a candle, meditate, and think about all the little things that I am grateful for that I might take for granted. My support system, my home, my job, the crisp winter evenings when the stars seem brighter, coffee, good meals around a table full of good friends, chocolate, squirrels, etc. Then I put the candle out, and the next week I light two candles. By the end of the 6 weeks, I am up to 6 candles burning at once and the light and the heat and the gratitude help lift me out of my funk. Maybe you can come up with a Sunwait ritual that you can do! Something private...just for you :) ❤ Thank you for sharing your vunerability. We've never met...but you are one of my favorite human beings :)
Back in the 1990s, I spoke with a RC priest about my chronic clinical depression and anxiety. We had a very helpful discussion. One thing that he suggested .. that I STILL do .. is to pray every night when you go to bed, and thank God for 3 things. Just 3 things. They could be something that happened that day, a special person that you knew when you were a child, the fact that you are getting help with your heating bills ... ANYTHING. At least, you go to sleep in a positive mindset rather than a negative one; at best, you see that your life is full of blessings ... most nights it's hard to just stop at three !!!! God Bless you.
@@pjef1956 Thanks for sharing that story! I believe in mindful gratitude and prayer too! We have that in common friend :)
Hey dude, fellow Canadian Chris who suffers from high functioning anxiety and depression. Just wanna say you personally inspired me to learn some basic cardistry, which I have found helps me tremendously with my anxiety. Just wanted to say thank you for being such a genuine dude
Thank you for making this video, so that those of us who sometimes go through similar things don't feel quite so alone. I always love your videos, and I hope you feel better soon.
Thank you for being you man! Open, vulnerable, It helps to know that even people you admire go through the same struggles you do. I'll be a forever fan! Love the content love the new cards. Can't wait for the next thing you have in store!
I understand what your going through Brother, you're never alone!
It's always so appreciated when strong men speak out about these kind of things, so genuinely well done as it helps others to continue to speak their truth also.
(I write poetry when I feel that way and this helps, maybe you can give it a bash too).
Big love,
Lev :-)
Thank you, Chris, for your honesty and courage. Stay strong.
Appreciate the brutal honesty Chris. It's good to hear that we all struggle with these things from time to time. I've been dealing with some stuff myself and I've been trying to figure out how to get through it. I hope things improve for you soon. We're all happy you're here making videos for us!
Brother, I go through the same thing.
I just breathe through it.
The fact that you shared is dope.
You're a real real one.
Thanks Chris.
I appreciate you and your honesty. We are all going through things and we all need to push through. We all love you brotha your the best.
Thank you for being vulnerable and honest with us and still showing up. Wishing you all the best!
I think the combination of focusing on small steps and trying to remember "right now is not permanent" is incredibly wise. It's often the same advice I frequently try to tell others, and tell myself when I'm struggling. Thank you for sharing your experience, your encouragement, and yes, this too shall pass
Thank you so much Chris I have been going through shit these past couple days due to lost of 2 real important people to me. I have been with you here for a lot of years and some how you always talk to me when I'm going through shit and I appreciate that 💯
Mad respect for pushing through! This helps me and I'm sure hundreds of others. You'll find your way. From a complete stranger, I hope the best for you.
Thanks for being so genuine and transparent. I'm an artist-oil painter- and lost my mom a few months ago. I also battle with addiction. Seeing and hearing you surely helps me put my lonely self into perspective. Hard to be creative, but we press on!❤
Just be gentle with yourself. We all have our ups and downs and sometimes the downs really *REALLY* sucks. We all understand and have been there. Just dont push yourself to do something because you may believe that as your subscribers, we have to have your videos. I've been subscribed for years and when I had down times, you had no idea but it helped me to watch your content. Find what brings you back to you in the best way possible, in your own time.
Acceptance and realization is one of the first steps to recovery, whatever you choose to do I think we all wish you good luck! We’re fans of what you do and not just the things being showcased. Hopefully you feel better about things and best of luck for what’s to come.
I think a lot of us can relate to the feelings you feel.
Thanks for describing them publicly so everyone can feel a bit more normal about them.
Been there and done it. It’s a massive step to admit there’s a problem. HUGE kudos for being brave enough to put it out there. Just know there’s great love and support out there for you. Do what you need to do not what think you need to do. 💪🏻👊🏻
Respect for your candour and honesty. My daughter suffers from the same as you. Listening to you helps me understand her a bit more. Blessings to you 💜
Much love and much respect to you, Chris. Thank you.
The amount of honesty coming out of this channel and you, Chris, is so refreshing in a youtube landscape where everyone is "happy" all the time. Thank you for this video.
Ty for mustering up the courage for this video. This is one of those, you'll never know the impact or how far this message will go to affect the tangled skein that connects all of us. To see behind the mask like on Unsubscribe with Eli the other day just literally pouring his heart out was so moving and incredible to see. Ty Chris for all you've done, all you have inspired and continue to do, I look forward to what you bring in the future!! Those that resonate will stick around and attract those who are meant to be around. Like you said one foot in front of the other, you've got this!!
"This too shall pass" That is the key to dealing with being down. Depressed mood doesn't last forever.
Hang in there brother, ive been dealing with anxiety my entire adult life, it sux, but life is beautiful, and i am so grateful for my life and family. I'm sure this will be a driving force for you too, Chris
Love your willingness to share how you are really feeling!! Always nice to know you're not alone!! ❤
I'm here for the entire journey. Thank you for everything you've taught me so far.
We all need to hear we are not alone ... been going through something very similar for a couple weeks now. Very taxing and very motivation draining. Thank you for sharing, it does help .... hoping you are back on track soon ! 💖💖
God Bless you.
Chris, you are such a beautiful soul. I immediately fell in love with watching you solve puzzles about 3 years ago and was hooked. You are the only puzzle solver that I am subbed to because of the way you take us through the experience of the solve. Please take care of yourself as you are first. We will always be here for you. My husband just went through cancer surgery yesterday and can't wait to get out of the hospital and watch one of your videos. They cheer us up and take our minds off of our problems. Thank you so much for that. It is immensely appreciated. See you soon as you're ready but please take your time, no hurry. Love you Sue and Gord and kitty Oakley. 👍💯✌🇨🇦♥️♥️♥️♥️🐈
This is very refreshing for me. I have dealt with chronic clinical depression my entire life. While I was working (about 1978 to 2020) it was almost a daily struggle. When I was in retail, which was several years over those decades, it was the worst, because I had to be "on" just about all day. My psyche would just be drained all the time. I've been in therapy and on medication for most of my adult life, so I learned to deal with most issues, and for the most part only had a few times when I just couldn't get out of bed and go to work for days or weeks on end. I was forced to retire in 2020, and for the most part it's been a blessing, but my desire to not leave my house is at a peak. Some days I just sleep all day. As I said, it's fine because I'm retired. But I completely understand what it's like to have chemical imbalances (if that's what your issues are) and have to be part of this world, take care of myself, etc. It's so great that you're sharing ... something I wish I could have done all those decades ago. We need more normal people sharing that there are times when we feel subpar, when we have a struggle just with day-to-day responsibilities and activities. God Bless you. Just let it go. Ok, you are feeling the way you are feeling. You dealt with having to be around people and meeting responsibilities. It's ok for now to not fight it, to not feel guilty or "sick", but to let yourself recharge. That's what's happening. Your psyche is recharging, that's all. "Depression" has been defined as the self going within to "rest", to find calm and peace. Allow yourself to feel that calmness and peace. Everytime that I fought this need, I ended up in bed unable to work. Again, God Bless you. PS Anxiety has been my companion since childhood. Sometimes I just want to jump out of my skin, it gets so bad. At those times, I try to relax and tell myself, "it's just .... " whatever the problem or task is. "It'll be all over by Thursday" or "Just do it, and it's gone." The anxiety becomes its own entity and takes over my thoughts, etc. Deflating that monster is most of the battle.
Im sharing this video! Thanks for being so open and genuinely caring and wanting to help people. I am one of those people and i try to put on my happy face around a small group of people but i cant imagine have to do what you have to do in front of so many people. on the days i have to get out in public. Its a struggle. Im glad you are here with a big platform and you take the time to share your story while helping others. Including me. Mental illness is what they call it but it needs a different name and i think the stigma is shrinking amongst people now days. Im 54 and it was a sign of weakness when i was younger and where im from. Keep up the good word brother!
I have been dealing with depression for 10 years and still have battles to this day. I stumbled acrossed your videos in the midst of covid and have been a fan ever since. Your puzzle videos have allowed me to focus on what you do and how the intricacy of a puzzle solve can be just like dealing with my depression. Stay strong we are all here for you!!!
I am following you for about 5 years and have so much respect for what you do. It is part of life but hate to see you a little down man. I hope you snap out of it soon my friend. Wish you nothing but the best. Keep your head up bro. Much love!
Thank you for your honesty. The timing helped me. Love your stuff man. Seriously.
I legitimately look forward to every upload. this has become one of my favorite youtube pages to stay connected with. you bring intrigue, joy, passion and inspiration with you in every venture. thanks for being a light in the world when i need one.
I struggle with anxiety on a daily basis and mild depression almost as often. The anxiety is the real soul crusher for me. Thank you for sharing your struggle. I'm sorry you are going through it right now. It's OK that you don't feel great. Just hope you get feeling better very soon. ❤
Much love, Brother. Keep being a great human!
Thank you Chris. As a person who is going through a rough time in there life at the moment it is really nice to here that I am not alone and that it is not just me who goes through things like this. Thank you for being honest about how you are doing cus many people have the same issues and it helps to even just here it from other people at times. I hope that you and everyone else around who has feelings like this realize how important and appreciated they are in life. Everything happens for a reason and everything will end up being alright. I hope everyone who reads this knows they are loved and it will get better.
I appreciate the honesty. I'm sure there are many of us that can relate. Do what you need to do for yourself. We will be here when and if you are ready.
Thanks Chris. Great to hear from you being real on what’s going on. We all have stuff we are dealing with and thank you for being real and knowing we are not alone. Cheers.
Mannnn, I've been going through some really tough shit. And I really needed to see this... Thanks Chris.
I feel this. Thanks for your encouragement.
Thanks for your honesty bro. It's tough dealing with my emotions and stuff but knowing I'm not alone with these issues helps me deal with them. Hang in there dude, you're awesome bro!
I think it's the first time I'm commenting on your videos. I've been watching you for a few years now, going back and forth.
So first of all thank you, when I stumbled on one of your videos, it reminded me how much I loved puzzles as a kid, and watching you take your time and solving them is just so fun to watch. Especially those giant puzzles you solve, like the holy grail one, which I will never have a chance to even try or play with. So it's super unique and special. I know how you love that everything in your videos is top notch, from lighting and sound to storytelling, decorations and mega editing skills. And yes, it's ok you don't feel like it, just stop yourself when you dwell too much into it. Sometimes, our sails are out of wind. I hope you'll continue solving puzzles ❤
Man this hit me right in the feels. I have been having a hard time with anxiety and depression for most of this year. it got so bad to the point that i couldnt face work. So i was missing days. I then was taking money away from my husband due to me not working. I also was performing poorly as well due to the big time i was missing from work. It finally came up to head on 10/10 i was fired. 9.5 years with a company i loved. My ego was so inflated i felt i could do anything and get away with it. So it was a huge hit to me because i didnt want to be honest with myself. I have wanted to fall into myself and just stay in a closet forever. I am still not really into talking much about it or being around people mostly. But I have a temp job and i am getting interviews for places i never thought i could qualify for. So getting fired from a company that i loved, but i understand enough is enough. So thank you for doing this video. I know it will pass. Thank you again.
This too shall pass has been my go to through life -- we're all here for you when you're ready and you are incredibly brave for opening up.
On seasonal depression, getting a sun lamp was a gamechanger for me. It doesn't fix everything, but takes the edge off.
I needed to hear this. Thank you.
Chris … this is off topic but your office is absolutely insane. i love how you have are POV. your setup brings me back SO MANY memories from the old PC game “ SAM & MAX “ and it just gave me chills man. but besides that human to human love you man. ❤
Thanks for making me feel normal. I can relate to too much to do and only wanting staying under the covers!! Thanks for the reminder this too shall pass. Watching you solve your puzzles definitely help when I’m having anxiety
I love these heartfelt videos you do, to share your thoughts is appreciated and this too shall pass is a beautiful sentiment and one I like to live by. Thanks for the thought provoking words and reminder that mental health should always come 1st. No sympathy, just keep rocking dude!
Thanks for sharing. Take the time that you need.
Prioritise your wellbeing and health, we're here for you. Going through my own personal struggles with depression and self doubt, so thanks for the reminder 'this too shall pass' i needed that, appreciate you coming on here and being real! Spinning plates is exhausting, offload mate and keep moving. Stay strong ❤
So thankful for your content. You entertained me for hours at a time and I appreciate you filling the void that surrounds us with beautiful work. Sending love friend.
You too are not alone. Sending light and love.
Thank you for this video! Helped me a lot
Really feel you on this man. Thanks for making such a straight-shooting video. I went on a company offsite a while back, had to wear a mask for like three days and lead all these people. Just jammed together in a hotel in the middle of nowhere, sharing rooms with colleagues. Damn it was so exhausting, I'd never been so tired from the facade before. Take all the time you need, thanks for being real
A powerful statement at the end there good sir!
The words are true, and your intention to follow your own words is palpable.
Advocate for yourself and be your own best friend, along with taking everything you do one step at a time.
Take it easy Chris, and thank you for continuing to bring the world amazing entertainment.
Always great watching your videos, whether it be something like this or your magic videos or puzzle videos. Depression sucks and it’s always good to highlight it is normal to feel like this. I can’t wait for your escape room puzzle video!! I helped work on it and I’m sooooo excited!!
Thank you. Needed to hear those words today. Not been in the best place lately, not been dealing with it how I should. What you said really helped. 💜
"this too shall pass" is my mantra that helps me through my times of depression, and i'm in a place right now where i need to tell myself this every day. i hope you can get through this at your own pace and not worry about creating content before worrying about yourself.
Love the vibe, love the atmosphere, love the video. Well done.
Thanks for sharing my friend. As someone with a diagnosed major depressive disorder I can relate to how hard things like this are. I appreciate the effort.
It's ok to not be ok. It indeed will pass. Chris, I never started watching you for the puzzles. Magic got me, you and your personality have kept me watching you. Go through the feelings, actually feel them and let it leave you. We are here. ❤ hugs, love and light to you
♥️ sending you love x I appreciate you and enjoy ALL your content heartfelt, personal, puzzles or gaming.
Don’t stop looking after yourself ♥️
I feel ya pain bro, I'm very much in a similar head space, particularly at this time of year (SAD)
Life throws shit at us, no matter what our status or perceived position in life.... I always try and count my blessings, which, when compared to some, are many....!
Telling you that you are an inspiration to me and many others ain't gonna help you, but it is the reality of the situation.......
Count your blessings and take care of yourself, much love ❤️ and thanks for your content, stay blessed x
Chris, this video actually brought a tear to my eye. It felt so raw to see you struggling. Area 52 is amazing and I've got my wife hooked on your main channel because of it! Heading over to Patreon now actually. Tom Smullen from Manchester, England. ❤
thanks for the honesty. I have a family member in the same boat right now. to be reminded of that this happens to us all at times and in degrees is important to remember. we'll be here when you get back...
Thanks for your honesty. Past few days have been terrible. Caught in a rut as well and totally needed and was meant to see this video. Thank you.
Love the realness! Love you man!
Feelings come and go, you don't need motivation to be who you are. Your community is amazing and genuine, just know you have a lot of people backing you!
Hey Chris, right now I’m going trough a similar situation. Anxiety, low energy. It can be rough, but also another lesson in life. Growth and the way forward never comes without cost. Thank you for being open and truthful. One thing I’ve learned is to be myself as much as you can. It requires bravery but bravery also comes with pride and appreciation. We’re all human after all. For what it’s worth; I’ve never seen you as an “actor”, your personality always shines trough. Better yet, that’s probably why I keep watching your content. All the best, Gijs, the Netherlands.
Love your channel bud! Been a huge fan for years. Absolutely right, this too shall pass. Everybody goes through shit, can't be all happy all the time, mad respect for your honesty. Know that you owe us nothing, much as we love your channel and your awesome content, how inspiring it may be, if you're not feeling up to it don't feel burdened by any kind of task you may think you have. You're courageous, brave and a fucking icon. Respect to you always, as a wise man once said "this too shall pass"
I needed this today thank you sir. Much respect to you.
I just got out of the military and I know that feeling of just not being 100%. It’s difficult to explain but from what you said, it’s ok not to be in your prime all the time. Just gotta get through it. You’re the man Chris!
Chris, the way you solve the puzzle and narrate during them and the stories is the reason why you are the best puzzle channel on CZcams.
And the magic tricks you do. Is slo funny and cool. You're the best. 🖖
what helps me get through these times is remembering that i have been here before and made it back to the good, as you said , this too shall pass, like all the others, i believe in all of you, chris and everyone else struggling with this,
Thanks a lot for your honesty. Your courage made me stop, listen and feel for the first time today. Thank you. Take care.
Tbh someone somewhere needed to hear that they aren't alone in how they are feeling. I criticize myself so much about not getting enough done or doing better. We chip away and learn to be okay with not being perfect. Love you Chris
You're a great dude! Thanks for being honest and transparent, we got your back!
My guy I get the struggle truly, take care of Chris. We will be here.
Life sends weird shit your way. I think most people find themselves in your shoes from time to time. Talking to someone has always helped me. I've never paid someone but having a friend or family member help you get through it got me through it. Most people aren't willing to acknowledge they're going through a rough time, so for you to make a video about it is amazing to me, even if it was really hard. You'll get back there again and you'll feel as right as rain.
I’ve also been dealing with seasonal depression/anxiety this time of year for the past few years. No matter how well things are going, I feel as if nothing brings me the same joy as before. Your videos are my calm and safe space and I want you to know how much we all appreciate your work. Hang in there man we’re all here for you
I get it 💖Take your time, and thanks for being vulnerable with us.
Thanks for being real. and what you are receiving is not sympathy but empathy. and the fact that you made this video shows that you understand a great deal about your emotions. the hard part is that we tend to respond to our emotions faster than we understand them.
I admire your emotional intelligence, because you were able to be real, state your issues with an open mind, know that people relate to what you are feeling. You put yourself out there so that people can see the you that you are without the cameras. and we all enjoy seeing that side of you more than the side of you that is trying to keep things excited.
thank you. from one person to another. both dealing with the emotional roller coaster of life.✌
I love your channels and videos, Chris. I also appreciate your constant honesty with us, your fans. You are such a creative and imaginative spirit and a great content creator. Please, take good care of yourself and always try to do what makes you happiest in your life. I can't speak for all of us but please know that you are appreciated and I, for one will always be here totally enjoying all you bring to us. Peace, my brother
Good luck Chris. Keep your head up.
keep strong brother! I have been there brother! Its even harder when you try to pretend and put a smile on your face when you want to cry even harder when you do what you do in front of so much people day to day ... Keep strong brother much love!
Tis the season, brother. I'm there with ya. We'll pull through it together. Wishing you the best and a shit-ton of happiness soon.
hey man don't worry, we're all here for you and it's totally okay not feeling like making videos. That being said loved this video, the jazz and the lighting amazing!
Thank you sp much for making the video, and it was good to see you on the channel.
I needed exactly this video today bro. I literally have been feeling the same for the past few weeks
The beginning of this video reminds me of a quote…
“I was ashamed of myself when I realised life was a costume party and I attended with my real face” -Franz Kafka.
Keep up the great work! We appreciate you.
Thank you for sharing this with us. Take care of yourself. We will always be here.
Things will be okay keep going! I believe in you Chris!
One of the truest statements in human history, which has has gotten me through MANY very hard times. I'm currently right there w/ you & was actually saying this to myself this morning. This too shall pass & I hope it does quickly for you. Be well. Big fan.
Thank you for sharing your struggles
