  • Hi friends,
    This year was difficult to say the least. I, myself, have been struggling with bouts of high anxiety/depression this past year and i truly felt the need to make this video, not only to let myself know that i'm not alone, but to also break down the stigma and get the world TALKING. It was so incredibly important to me that i normalize the day-to-day struggles of coping with a mental illness so that i can showcase unique perspectives on how one can better take care of themself & reach out if they need to. Check on your friends. Don't feel ashamed. Get help if you need it. This too, shall pass.

      @@JordanDoww By the way Jordan, aside from working in mental health, I have been a consumer of mental health services for anxiety and depression for a period of almost 30 years. If videos like yours had been around 30 years ago I might have been moved to give up my stubborn denial, avoided self-harm attempts and sought help a lot sooner.

    I didn't realized how hard it was to accept that I struggle with my mental health untill one day I felt like I was done with my life.... and I talk to my sister and she was the one who was like we need to get you some help.... it's a everyday struggle but I feel like a take my first step..... the most important thing for me was to accept the fact that I really needed help..... this video just makes me realized that I am not alone....

    Hi Jordan, I'm a long time fan and I really genuinely believe you have a calling as a content creator (as well as an actor). Maybe you should upload whenever you want and focus on being creative and posting whatever makes you happy. I just know that, whenever you do, it's always so good. You have such important things to say. Please keep saying them in whatever way is most comfortable for you. ❤️

    Self acceptance and love... It is hard to get to that point because of mental issues or things we deem flaws. You impacted the people doing the video. It will help someone. Jordan glad to see you did this video. It is great to see. Good to see you again too as well. I hope you are doing well.

    What a special and wonderful video! Thank you for making a video about mental health, it’s so important. I also thank you especially for finding someone with Borderline Personality Disorder to put in your video as well because that’s a disorder I have too and it’s wonderful to have someone that represents how you struggle as well, particularly when it’s something that is rarely spoken about. You did a beautiful job with this. And Christopher - you are helping people 💙 I love you Jordan, thank you for sharing your struggles with mental health too 💕 - Renny 🥰
