As a psychology student, I just want to say that you're so brave Kuya Ben, bilang lang ang mga taong umaamin weakness nila, and isa ka doon. Get well Kuya Ben!
Being too self-aware is both a blessing and a curse, I’ve learned this through therapy as well because it made me realize that (like you) we, over thinkers tend to try and find solutions for things that we feel like we are at fault or responsible for - even when it comes to our fears and insecurities, that’s why we end up overwhelmed and burdened. So glad you found therapy. It is such an immense help for people like us who tries to take on almost everything for people around us but rarely or don’t even ask for help. Slowly, you’ll get better in asking for support in ways you are comfortable in. Shedding some relationships that are not serving you is also part of your healing, it can be sad at first but you’ll later on realize that it is for a reason. Good luck on your journey and may you find joy again in the things that you love. Thanks for being brave and sharing your story. ❤
As a psychology student, I really do understand where and what you're coming from. I appreciate the effort that you still have the courage to do this kinda video, even though you're currently dealing with your anxiety and mental breakdowns, just to inspire others and raise awareness about how you'll be able to cope with the negative/chaotic situations that you've been through. MAHIGPIT NA YAKAP KUYA BEN!
In a Psychology student perspective, I was amazed by the way you explained your situation and your feelings/emotion to the audience even in a minute I was hook up how it was so detailed and comprehensive na you shared a complex scenario into a simplier and mas relatable sa viewers. This really show that you know your current situation very well maybe because you've been through it for a long time and that you have the ability to create and apply yung naisip mong alternatives to your difficulties. This video is an eye opener sa mga audience; not just for them to learn but more on to take action and be mindful sa sinasabi/ginagawa nila sa sarili at sa ibang tao.
Thank you this means a lot! I’ve been paranoid about saying the wrong information but at the end of the day, talking about self experience is never incorrect because that’s really how i felt
@@BenedictCuamental health is same as physical health that requires medical attention and should not invalidate by other people. Thank you for sharing your experiences. This one is hard to share but it is a big relief. I can’t imagine the baggages you are carrying all this time.
Ben is just so brave to do this!! Hindi pa nagsisimula yung vlog pero I got emotional already. I have mental health issue too. Still healing and fighting. Hopefully, we NORMALIZE this- having discussions about our mental health. To those who are battling silently, seek help please. You are not alone and you got this!! And kuya Ben, mahigpit na yakaaaaaaaaaaaaaap!
Out of your 226 Vlogs, this one really felt like a hug. It's not everyday you learn about people's vulnerabilities (especially people whose careers are closely inclined with social media) -- and I think this is very brave of you to do, Ben. Personally, I've also come to the ends of alc*h*lism, forgetting my boundaries, pushing people away with my bad behavior, bursting in anger over the smallest things, and neglecting my needs -- even when my body is already begging me to rest and calm down. I started watching your vlogs in 2018, and from time to time, when I "spiral," I binge watch your content (still)... it does seem like you're good at shedding light in other people's lives (I think that's the hook that got me to watch your content over and over) -- but it also seems like you need to share that light with yourself. We don't know each other personally, but I'll include you in my prayers. I sincerely hope you discover the things that make you smile at ease, enough to lit up everything that has dimmed inside you. Also, here's an excerpt from one of the books that has helped me when I felt like my days were my last, the book is entitled Dear Self by Ruby Dhal, and the line goes: "happiness doesn't always come with the fear that it will leave. Sometimes it comes with the promise that it will stay. All you need to do is welcome it with open arms and a heart spread wide enough to let it stay, wide enough to let in people and adventures in new countries where the wind flows in a different direction, and the mountains peak higher than the clouds, so you start to grasp that the sky isn't the limit, because the sun and the stars are."
Worth it 'yung 22 mins sa'yo, Ben. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Please know that there are a lot of people who value you. I hope you get to feeling completely better soon. We love you! ✨
yung mga insecurities ni benedict dito na gradually niyang na-overcome eh yung mga insecurities na hindi ko na inovercome. this is so brave of you benedict. keep inspiring.
After watching the whole video, these are the things you really have to consider Ben: 1. Stop putting so much pressure on yourself. -Step back and reevaluate. 2. Stop taking things personally. -Your power lies in your response. 3. Start meditating. -This will cultivate your inner peace and will strengthen your focus. 4. Start embracing your authentic self…the real you… - By doing so, will lift so much weight off the burden you’re carrying. 5. Start recalibrating your thoughts and perspectives. -How you see the world sometimes stems down from the generational view of seeing things that were passed down from the people who came before you in a society that still envelops these ideologies. 6. Be (your own definition of) happy. I hope you’re well.
I'm so proud of you na naovercome mo lahat yan, Ben. And I know na kaya mo labanan lahat ng pinagdadaanan mo. #YouAreValid and #YouAreLoved. Lovelots, Benedict Cua.
Ang buong vlog na to ay parang diary ko during the pandemic 😂, one thing is for sure, everything gets better. We can only cope, the anxiety and depression doesn't go away. It just becomes smaller. Be diligent on the meds, it requires a lot of work kahit hndi mo nman gustong gunawa ng kahit ano kasi walang motivation. I hope you can wake up one day and hindi kna biglang umiiyak ng hndi mapigilan. 💕
Thank you for sharing, I just knew now that what I've been experiencing for many years that I thought were normal for introverted people to feel were actually symptoms of panic attack. Thank you for this video, it made me understand myself better. I still hear those voices in your head and your mind is somewhat always noisy. I agree that everything should start with the right perspective, I have been coping up using what I believe is a positive mindset regardless of what other people say because at the end of the day it all boils down to how you feel about yourself. No matter how many outside help I got it never did get better for me at some point I thought that it would be better if I'd just die. I felt useless and just a burden to my parents and family. I was at my lowest at that time and I happen to come a cross videos of self-help and from there on, I started my self-love/self-help journey by understanding myself better and doing what makes me happy. I can say that I have improve a lot and still am and I can't wait for other things that i can improve and learn about myself. Keep fighting the good fight, it may not feel good right now but it will all be worth it. Just trust yourself that you're getting better and better each day. 👊🏻👊🏻
Your feelings and emotions are valid, kuya Ben. Isa ko sa mga napapasaya mo sa mga vids mo. Sguro, tayo yung nauubos dahil nagmomotivate tayo ng ibang tao but deep inside nahihirapan din tayo. Fighting Kuya Ben! I know mabuti kang tao, masayahin, productive, masaya kasama at totoo on/off cam. We're here for u to support u. 🙂
I’m going through a shutdown right now too. In fact I’m lying in bed and have been for 2 months. Gone 4 years without help and it just all imploded. Honestly, hearing I am not alone helps. I think people understanding what you’re going through, though it might not cure whatever it is, does lessen the guilt of not participating and socialising, even though the urge to escape is our body telling us to rest and reset.
As someone who just started asking for help and now undergoing therapy this video is super empowering. Naiyak lang ako dun sa last part, those discussion with your therapist hits home for me. Padayon Ben!
Thank you Ben. You are on the right track. Everything happens for a reason. I'm so excited for you. It seems like the universe is preparing you for a higher purpose. I'll always be here listening. The best is yet to come.
Thank you so much Ben for doing this content and for having a courage to share it with us. I don't normally comment in any vlogs or videos but this content helps me a lot and I need to let you know that. It's a reminder that I'm not alone and also a reminder that it's okay not to explain yourself always. I think I need to always remind myself that I don't have to be afraid or feel bad to say no without explaining myself. Anyway, I'm so grateful that I watched this vlog and your voice and the way you talk is so calming. You're awesome, Ben. I know you'll get better.
Thanks Ben for making a content like this. It really ment a lot specially to people who don’t really know much about depression. I’m also clinically diagnosed same as your diagnosis. And to be honest this video really gives me hope and made me realize that I’m really not 🌊 in this journey and that i could be better one day and the world that im in right now would be a happy place again. Thanks Ben for this!! Fighting!
Thank you, Ben. Also diagnosed with MDD and still have no real support with this fight but hearing from someone who struggles the same and received the help they needed sparked hope in me to keep going. Padayon ta;
You’re such a strong person to find the courage to publish very sensitive online. From one person who also feels something similar, your story really resonated with me. Thank you. 💕
Thanks for sharing this Ben! As a fan, appreciate this. My thoughts - boundaries are super important and needed to give you a healthier space in life. Hope you get better and stronger each day! God bless!
Got diagnosed with BD just a little over 2yrs ago which started w/ panic attacks & became a complication of major depression. Family support meant A LOT bec it's an everyday battle + proper medication. From being fit to being overweight again caused my insecurities to arise but Lord's grace makes it more bearable & I take each God-given day as it comes. You'll be fine eventually & you did the right thing by reaching out to ask for help.💝🙏
Thank u Kuya Benedict for opening up. Halos lahat na sinabi mo ay nangyayari din sa akin. I felt relieved na hindi ako lang ang may ganitong problema. I hope that, as time goes by, we are able to handle life gracefully.
Thank you for sharing. You have grown so much! I am not a psychologist but for someone who have the same experience I have practiced to focus on gratitude more than my imperfections. I am very proud of you. Benedict Cua all the way ❤❤❤🤗🤗🤗
Thank you for sharing this. I am somewhat experiencing this, and I do not understand why. With your video, I somehow had the idea of how to help myself. Been following you on FB because your videos, posts, and stories never fail to make me happy, or at least smile. Thank you so much.
Hi Ben! Nakakamiss ka mapanuod mag vlog ng ganyan, yung spontaneous and pure lang. Thanks for speaking for us! We're on the same page and hoping for healing soon! 🍉🍉🍉 Thanks for sharing your story.
I finished the entire video and I can relate to some of the manifestations that you experienced. I have not seen a doctor yet but I would love to. My excuses are I don't have time, I don't have the financial capability since I'm supporting someone with medical needs and lastly I'm scared I might slipped... However, after watching this video you made me realize that I really need intervention to better support people that I need to support and to heal myself. Thank you again for this.
Thank you, Ben. What you have said, is something that I really feel right now, that I cannot express. I cannot afford to take therapy, yet. But I hope soon enough, I can. Thank you, Ben, for being our voice, for us that are silently battling all these demons inside us. I love how you were able to articulate those reality that someone like me might be needing to hear in this moment. Thank you for the courage to speak up. That might be one of your purposes in life. I might need a hug. Thank you so much.
I’ve never seen you in awhile Ben, thank you so much for being brave enough to share and admit this reality of yours to all of your viewers. This is such an eye opener to everyone who seldom talks about their current situation. Hopefully you get all the time that you need to ease your transition on coming back to what you used to do.
i started crying when u played the audio with ur therapist. i cried because realizing na we may have different experiences, but we felt the same in everything. until now im crying because i KNOW now that i needed help. i always think that myself is just crazy just like u thought that everyone has blocked nose in the morning. i thought putting boundaries with people is JUST WEIRD. but i think its not. maybe im also in defense mode and i need to seek help. thank you, ben. thank you.
this is what i like about your vlogs and is also the reason why I continue supporting you. You're the reason why I try to be productive each day for the past 5-6 years now ( i think). each time I feel like the week has been way to rough for me I treat myself just to at least have something good going, you're positivity amazes me to the point where my mind became open to things. I understood life much more making your channel as the base. It felt relatable as I continue to watch your vlogs. I hope we get through these obstacles and improve much better than before. LABAN BENPIRES!
Hi Ben, I’m so proud of you for your courage to seek therapy and be out in the open about it and also medications. I’ve been diagnosed with MDD for 7yrs now, good job on what you’re doing to keep yourself healthy and mentally stable. 👏 Your journey towards recovery may take more time than you’ll ever expect but never lose hope. Pag MDD kasi extremes talaga. One week you’re so positive, energetic and happy. Following weeks you’re stuck in a blackhole. Just never lose hope and will power to continuously help yourself. You do you! God bless! 😊
Thanks for this vid. ❤️ I also feel the same way cause I am in my 30s na and I feel lost. People think of me as a strong person cause lagi ako nakatawa and I am a psych grad so I need to look as if I feel good all the time but deep inside I am not. It's true that social media made is think that you always need validation from others to feel good but the reality is it's just yourself overthinking. In the end of the day mas Kilala mo self mo and alam mo mas magpapasaya sayo. I felt better after watching this and I am proud of you for being brave of sharing your story. ❤️
Love you benedict! Just do you after all living is about experiencing and learning and what matters more is you’re happy and proud with where you are today
I miiiiisssss you so much Ben. ❣️ A friend of mine once told me that, "when searching for love, whether it's a hobby, a thing or a person make sure you that find yourself there first." Sometimes we tend to lose ourself in the process of maintaining the image that we set, to the point that our hobbies, our true identity, or basically everything that's natural in us are becoming our burdens. Rest if you must, but I'm glad that you're doing better than before. More power! ❤️❤️❤️
I am happy that you are addressing this and you let peope know. Being open to the world is one step to getting better, I believe. You will get there! Just be consistent and things will be better in no time. Di mo mapapansin you can continue living life like you used to, not feeling axious about everything that really doesn’t matter. We love you Ben. Ingat parate. ❤😊
Kakarelate iyong executive dysfunction when one would just shut down from the entire world and shun everyone. Could remember how I didn’t do basic activities of daily living for three days and had to slap myself awake and pick myself up after having a social welfare check at 3am-that was pivotal for me. Although I had to leave a big city and go back home to heal, I do not regret such. Thankful for my Q pill for being a good help so far and I hope this will be a sign for anyone to seek help, start the healing era and eventually come out strong. ✨✨✨✨
To my Dearest Kuya Ben♡♡ Remember that you are always LOVED ❤ no matter what you're facing right now .... lilipas din yan! Don't give up po iloveyouuuu and sending virtual hugs🤍❤🥰
I felt so productive after viewing this video. Thanks Kuya Ben for becoming my virtual Kuya. Always here as your virtual bunso to listen and support you virtually. Fighting
been to therapy and left a year after cause of financial and committment issues and im crying happily to see someone getting better which i know i will never be. hoping for more better days sir benedict!
Proud of you and I'm rooting for you. I hope that you will always have the healthy choices in life. Keep getting better. You inspired a lot and touched many lives for sure through this video. Thank you and stay well, Ben. 🙂
Kudos for being brave and being comfortable enough to share this personal chapter to your huge platform. Personally, I felt heard through this video especially on the light on being an adult who built majority of one’s life by making versions of himself that was tailored to how people would benefit from us and also to overcompensate so as to feel “validated”. Immensely grateful for my mum for initiating to eventually see a behavioural medical specialist and from there break down almost three decades of the unreal me. Started on a regular medication that is very helpful in regulating my mood and sleep. Perhaps I will highlight that acknowledging to oneself that you have a health problem and you need help, is the single most essential step to healing and recovering. To anyone having a difficult time, you aren’t alone and you will get through this. Hopefully a Filipino version of #PostYourPill, mental health wise will be an eye opener for the general Philippine public. ❤❤❤
Thanks Ben, this video made me feel better. I was really experiencing depression as you read this comment but, until I found your video. It made me realize something and told myself that everything will be okay. Just hold on and don't give up and think of the things that you love the most and channel it, use it to overcome the sadness and remove the dark cloud over your head. Thank you so much. More Powah!
Hi, Ben. I don't know if you'll be able to read this but I am hoping you would! This vlog is such a precious one. You were able to craft something raw and honest in one video. And I admire you for that. Thank you for being honest and speaking on behalf of all of us with the same situation. I want to just thank you. I hope you'll share more of this in the future! BUT AGAIN, IT'S NO PRESSURE. Thank you, Ben!
As someone who currently experiences burnout (its been 3 weeks), listening to you talk about these things is somehow therapeutic to me. Knowing that I'm not alone in what I feel makes me feel validated, and convinces me to not be too hard on myself. We'll heal and move forward, no matter how long it takes, for ourselves. Thank you, Kuys Ben.
Hi. Kuya Ben! Just wanna let you know that I will be here supporting you no matter where life puts you. Thank you for sharing your mental health journey in this vlog. My advice to you is that, don't put so much pressure on yourself just to prove to people that you're good enough. Genuine people in your life would appreciate what you can offer and they would accept on what you can't offer. As well as your fans. Hehe. Been here since 2019. Shoutout. As a mental health advocate & a psychology graduate, I am so proud of you on sharing awareness on mental health and openly talk about your experience about it through this vlog. I loved how open you are on issues in your life. Thank you for your courage. Appreciate it. This too, shall pass! Fighting! 🫶 God bless *notice me please, thanks xoxo* Rooting for you, all the way! 🥳
Hi Ben, thank you for sharing your story. I can relate to you. I have Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia. I'm seeing my psychiatrist for almost a decade. What you're going through is not easy but I know that you are strong. 🖤
This video gives all the validation that we all needed. 🥺 Thank you for sharing this kuya Ben. I know it took a lot of courage to share this to us so I’m proud of you. laban lang… hugs💗💗
This type of video urges me to pursue Clinical Psychology to help people like you kuya Ben and to be able to spread awareness about Mental Health and how Mental Illness can affect your Physical Self. I hope you can pass this dark phrase and find yourself again And live without the hassle and be free again We love you and we were always here for you FIGHTING 💜💜💜
Thanks for sharing this Ben . It made me realize the value of life. and to look on to the brightest side and move forward. As you read this, I am still in the darkness , stuck and helpless. Watching your video has ignited a spark of an opportunity to become better. Been watching your videos since 2020, and this us one of the best. Thank you for sharing your experiences, I hope one day I will have the courage to share mine and the strength to face all my fears 😭
Alam mo Ben, ako rin ay nakararanas ng ganito at times, stress from work, sa bahay o kahit saan man ako magpunta. But knowing that I have a support group either sa mga relatives ko, sa ilang katrabaho at sa spiritual family ko sa church, alam kong mayroon akong matatakbuhan in times of need. I don't want to sound too religious here but praying actually helps, both in good times and bad times. You know what, just maybe, I can pray for you for God to sustain you at all times. He loves you so much and thinks about you always. Keep safe and God bless!
I feel for you and your feelings are valid. Im diagnosed with anorexia nervosa to major depressive disorder with generalized anxiety disorder and now down to bipolar 2 and binge eating disorder. All i can say is, i really hope you find the fit doctors for you and know that you are not alone and no matter how small or big your progress is, progress is progress. Thank you for this video. You are my first fave youtuber and this is actually sad that you have to go through this but i know kaya mo yan. Surround your self with positive and loving people. Always know that you are loved. Once step at a time lang, Ben. :) Kaya natin to.
We love you kuya Ben. Kahit ano man ilabas or ilapag mo mag hihinaty at manunuod kami kahit Anong mangyari. Always remember that. Please don't be harsh to yourself, mahal ka namin🥰
I can see myself from your whole experience Ben. Reminds me of what i went through. You are not alone. I can relate to your journey. We’ll get better for sure. Therapy helps indeed.
Thank you for sharing this. I feel like someone has spoken for me. Like validating what i am going through. It is true that not everyone believes or has a knowledge about depression and anxiety, but at least through social media and vlogs like this, awareness is spread, and people atleast would just choose to be kinder and more understanding, if they could not directly help. Hindi natin kailangan ng excuse para maging mabait ang kapwa natin sa atin, but i think it is a general sense in humanity to be compassionate. 🙏🏻
Thank you for this video, Ben. Isa ako sa mga taong need talaga magseek help professionally pero wala talagang pambayad. So by watching this atleast man lang feel ko na na hindi ako nag iisa na ganto yung nararamdaman. Laban lang po tayo
I feel you. I am in a similar situation. I categorize myself as one with High Functioning Depression. Been to some Psych Docs but since one of my issues is trust, I don’t trust them and hasn’t been medicating. I do the spiral thing and it works all the time. Oftentimes, I took a leave from work, sometimes 2 days to 1 week, as often as monthly, just to compose myself again, by sleeping, eating and doing nothing. Like you, I don’t wanna harm myself, so when the going gets tough, I just take some time off, and go back to work after, like nothing happened. Its been more than 30 years for me. So pat your shoulder for recognizing and accepting who you are. You will surely continue being a productive person until you gets old. Fighting! 💪
Congrats Ben! The first step to the process of healing, is aknowledgement that there is a problem. Seeking help and telling your story take a lot of courage within. I think you're getting there, the path to healing. Just remember to be more kind to yourself, but never lose focus to your goal. Therapies, medications and support system can do wonders to cope up. I hope you'll get through it. 👍💪
As a psych grad, I understand what you felt po. Minsan talaga there are points in life na minsan unexpected na you feel down talaga. Especially you are known in social media industry, and there's a lot of pressure po talaga to you. Gagawa ka ng way para lang ma-ease yung pain na mas masakit pa kaysa sa physical pain. Ang physical pain kase, it may cure talaga. Unlike ang mentality and emotions hindi agad agad yun nawawala. Skl, I took psych kase I want to help through listening with the problems of people kase I know the feeling of ganiyan, While watching your vids kuya ben, I want to help you through just listen to your feelings talaga, I hope that as time goes you'll heal kuya. Huwag lang magmadali, just one step at a time lang kuya ben. Nandito lang ako as your supporter, kami na lubos kang nauunawaan. Mahigpit na yakap sayo kuya, praying for you always
You are absolutely right! I've been wanting to vlog my travels but when you're there and see the nature and the place you just forget everything and just enjoy the view and relax. That's why I enjoy every travels.
Hi! This is very refreshing to hear. People tend to see you VS how you see yourself. There are some people who would think “arte mo lang yan” or sometimes “naghahnap lang ng pansin” kaya minsan mga taong depress (talking in general) don’t want to seek help. I commend people like you na despite of everything around you, you have the will to fight and change. Not everyone has the guts to do that. Instead, for them it’s easier to take their own life. I hope whoever sees your video will be an eye opener that mental health should be taken seriously.
You are so brave to share this, Ben! And thank you kasi I was in the same situation din though different work and environment. Hindi lang ako medically diagnosed but I know, I am going through the same. That Upward-Downward Spiral really helps. ❤️ I pray you will be better and better everyday! Supporting you all the way! 🥰
Naka relate din ako sa mga pinagdaanan mo nung time na sobrang depress ako. Na realized ko talaga na sobrang totoo ang depression at ang hirap lalo na pag sobrang nakaka pressure sa work at sa life na parang wala padin ako nararating pero kailangan lang talaga yung positive mindset and know kung anu talaga gusto mo and start to work for it. Yun yung ginawa ko and now masaya nanaman ako sa bagong work na gusto ko at naisip ko don’t rush things may time na darating yun. Just keep going.
Thank you for this video Ben! This is an encouragement to those who experience as yours! So proud of u!! Yea your right things shall pass and u get better than yesterday. God bless un
Sobrang nafeel ko Yung advocacy ng vlog na to! In some sense naging support group Ang comment section. Para sa patuloy na paghilom Benedict! Mahigpit na yakap! Looking forward for your mental health advocacies in life or sa mga vlogs mo. Mahigpit na yakap at Salamat sa pagiging isa sa mga boses ng mental health para sa aming lahat!
This video gives me a little urge to create content about my diagnosis as well. Been dying to find ways on how to express myself and help people sa mga taong nakakaranas ng mental health illnesses yung para makita ng iba that being kind never costs anything na minsan mas nakakatulong yung maging kind lang tayo na wala naman equivalent na amount ng money kasi walang specific face or kahit estado sa buhay. Sending big hugs to you and sa lahat ng nakakaexperience nito. At the same time acknowledging people na malakinh support system na nakakaintindinsatin. Godbless you!
I was diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder as well pero tapos na ako sa medication phase. I truly understand what you’re going through. Mine naman is paralyzing ung panic attacks ko. Di ako makagalaw for 2 hours or more. And naaapektuhan work ko and time ko to accomplish important things. I love you Benedict! I’m here for you kahit di mo naman ako kilala. I hope we both get better!🤗
You are not 🌊
Haha una pumasok sa isip ko “ you are not a wave” hahha
I love you, shoti Ben 💙 Hugs!!!

As a psychology student, I just want to say that you're so brave Kuya Ben, bilang lang ang mga taong umaamin weakness nila, and isa ka doon. Get well Kuya Ben!
Being too self-aware is both a blessing and a curse, I’ve learned this through therapy as well because it made me realize that (like you) we, over thinkers tend to try and find solutions for things that we feel like we are at fault or responsible for - even when it comes to our fears and insecurities, that’s why we end up overwhelmed and burdened. So glad you found therapy. It is such an immense help for people like us who tries to take on almost everything for people around us but rarely or don’t even ask for help. Slowly, you’ll get better in asking for support in ways you are comfortable in. Shedding some relationships that are not serving you is also part of your healing, it can be sad at first but you’ll later on realize that it is for a reason. Good luck on your journey and may you find joy again in the things that you love. Thanks for being brave and sharing your story. ❤
As a psychology student, I really do understand where and what you're coming from. I appreciate the effort that you still have the courage to do this kinda video, even though you're currently dealing with your anxiety and mental breakdowns, just to inspire others and raise awareness about how you'll be able to cope with the negative/chaotic situations that you've been through. MAHIGPIT NA YAKAP KUYA BEN!

Out of your 226 Vlogs, this one really felt like a hug. It's not everyday you learn about people's vulnerabilities (especially people whose careers are closely inclined with social media) -- and I think this is very brave of you to do, Ben. Personally, I've also come to the ends of alc*h*lism, forgetting my boundaries, pushing people away with my bad behavior, bursting in anger over the smallest things, and neglecting my needs -- even when my body is already begging me to rest and calm down. I started watching your vlogs in 2018, and from time to time, when I "spiral," I binge watch your content (still)... it does seem like you're good at shedding light in other people's lives (I think that's the hook that got me to watch your content over and over) -- but it also seems like you need to share that light with yourself.
We don't know each other personally, but I'll include you in my prayers. I sincerely hope you discover the things that make you smile at ease, enough to lit up everything that has dimmed inside you. Also, here's an excerpt from one of the books that has helped me when I felt like my days were my last, the book is entitled Dear Self by Ruby Dhal, and the line goes: "happiness doesn't always come with the fear that it will leave. Sometimes it comes with the promise that it will stay. All you need to do is welcome it with open arms and a heart spread wide enough to let it stay, wide enough to let in people and adventures in new countries where the wind flows in a different direction, and the mountains peak higher than the clouds, so you start to grasp that the sky isn't the limit, because the sun and the stars are."
Worth it 'yung 22 mins sa'yo, Ben. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Please know that there are a lot of people who value you. I hope you get to feeling completely better soon. We love you! ✨
yung mga insecurities ni benedict dito na gradually niyang na-overcome eh yung mga insecurities na hindi ko na inovercome. this is so brave of you benedict. keep inspiring.
After watching the whole video, these are the things you really have to consider Ben:
1. Stop putting so much pressure on yourself. -Step back and reevaluate.
2. Stop taking things personally. -Your power lies in your response.
3. Start meditating. -This will cultivate your inner peace and will strengthen your focus.
4. Start embracing your authentic self…the real you… - By doing so, will lift so much weight off the burden you’re carrying.
5. Start recalibrating your thoughts and perspectives. -How you see the world sometimes stems down from the generational view of seeing things that were passed down from the people who came before you in a society that still envelops these ideologies.
6. Be (your own definition of) happy.
I hope you’re well.
This made me cry. Sending hugs to all those battling depression and/or anxiety silently.
I'm so proud of you na naovercome mo lahat yan, Ben. And I know na kaya mo labanan lahat ng pinagdadaanan mo. #YouAreValid and #YouAreLoved. Lovelots, Benedict Cua.
Thank you for sharing, Benedict. For someone who was diagnosed with Anxiety and Depression, this means a lot. Thank you.
Ang buong vlog na to ay parang diary ko during the pandemic 😂, one thing is for sure, everything gets better. We can only cope, the anxiety and depression doesn't go away. It just becomes smaller. Be diligent on the meds, it requires a lot of work kahit hndi mo nman gustong gunawa ng kahit ano kasi walang motivation. I hope you can wake up one day and hindi kna biglang umiiyak ng hndi mapigilan. 💕
Thank you for sharing, I just knew now that what I've been experiencing for many years that I thought were normal for introverted people to feel were actually symptoms of panic attack. Thank you for this video, it made me understand myself better. I still hear those voices in your head and your mind is somewhat always noisy. I agree that everything should start with the right perspective, I have been coping up using what I believe is a positive mindset regardless of what other people say because at the end of the day it all boils down to how you feel about yourself. No matter how many outside help I got it never did get better for me at some point I thought that it would be better if I'd just die. I felt useless and just a burden to my parents and family. I was at my lowest at that time and I happen to come a cross videos of self-help and from there on, I started my self-love/self-help journey by understanding myself better and doing what makes me happy. I can say that I have improve a lot and still am and I can't wait for other things that i can improve and learn about myself. Keep fighting the good fight, it may not feel good right now but it will all be worth it. Just trust yourself that you're getting better and better each day. 👊🏻👊🏻
Your feelings and emotions are valid, kuya Ben. Isa ko sa mga napapasaya mo sa mga vids mo. Sguro, tayo yung nauubos dahil nagmomotivate tayo ng ibang tao but deep inside nahihirapan din tayo. Fighting Kuya Ben! I know mabuti kang tao, masayahin, productive, masaya kasama at totoo on/off cam. We're here for u to support u. 🙂
I’m going through a shutdown right now too. In fact I’m lying in bed and have been for 2 months. Gone 4 years without help and it just all imploded. Honestly, hearing I am not alone helps. I think people understanding what you’re going through, though it might not cure whatever it is, does lessen the guilt of not participating and socialising, even though the urge to escape is our body telling us to rest and reset.
As someone who just started asking for help and now undergoing therapy this video is super empowering. Naiyak lang ako dun sa last part, those discussion with your therapist hits home for me. Padayon Ben!
Thank you Ben. You are on the right track. Everything happens for a reason. I'm so excited for you. It seems like the universe is preparing you for a higher purpose. I'll always be here listening. The best is yet to come.
Thank you so much Ben for doing this content and for having a courage to share it with us. I don't normally comment in any vlogs or videos but this content helps me a lot and I need to let you know that. It's a reminder that I'm not alone and also a reminder that it's okay not to explain yourself always. I think I need to always remind myself that I don't have to be afraid or feel bad to say no without explaining myself. Anyway, I'm so grateful that I watched this vlog and your voice and the way you talk is so calming. You're awesome, Ben. I know you'll get better.
Thanks Ben for making a content like this. It really ment a lot specially to people who don’t really know much about depression. I’m also clinically diagnosed same as your diagnosis. And to be honest this video really gives me hope and made me realize that I’m really not 🌊 in this journey and that i could be better one day and the world that im in right now would be a happy place again. Thanks Ben for this!! Fighting!
Thank you, Ben. Also diagnosed with MDD and still have no real support with this fight but hearing from someone who struggles the same and received the help they needed sparked hope in me to keep going. Padayon ta;
maonti lang talagang makakaintindi nito fully but i'm SO GLAD tuloy tuloy tuloy ka lang sa kwento and pag open up. i'm proud of you ben ten!!!!!
I'm going through the same thing right now, this made me feel so much better. Thank you for speaking up about this!
As an occupational therapist and a fan of your work, Im so happy that we have you as a vlogger Ben! The process will be long but you will get there.
You’re such a strong person to find the courage to publish very sensitive online. From one person who also feels something similar, your story really resonated with me. Thank you. 💕
Thanks for sharing this Ben! As a fan, appreciate this. My thoughts - boundaries are super important and needed to give you a healthier space in life. Hope you get better and stronger each day! God bless!
Got diagnosed with BD just a little over 2yrs ago which started w/ panic attacks & became a complication of major depression.
Family support meant A LOT bec it's an everyday battle + proper medication. From being fit to being overweight again caused my insecurities to arise but Lord's grace makes it more bearable & I take each God-given day as it comes.
You'll be fine eventually & you did the right thing by reaching out to ask for help.💝🙏
Thank u Kuya Benedict for opening up. Halos lahat na sinabi mo ay nangyayari din sa akin. I felt relieved na hindi ako lang ang may ganitong problema. I hope that, as time goes by, we are able to handle life gracefully.
Thank you for sharing. You have grown so much! I am not a psychologist but for someone who have the same experience I have practiced to focus on gratitude more than my imperfections. I am very proud of you. Benedict Cua all the way ❤❤❤🤗🤗🤗
Thank you for sharing this. I am somewhat experiencing this, and I do not understand why. With your video, I somehow had the idea of how to help myself. Been following you on FB because your videos, posts, and stories never fail to make me happy, or at least smile. Thank you so much.
Hi Ben! Nakakamiss ka mapanuod mag vlog ng ganyan, yung spontaneous and pure lang. Thanks for speaking for us! We're on the same page and hoping for healing soon! 🍉🍉🍉 Thanks for sharing your story.
Thank you for standing up and fight for life. Love you always Ben. ❤️
Thank you for this, Ben. We miss you. I hope you get better.
I finished the entire video and I can relate to some of the manifestations that you experienced. I have not seen a doctor yet but I would love to. My excuses are I don't have time, I don't have the financial capability since I'm supporting someone with medical needs and lastly I'm scared I might slipped... However, after watching this video you made me realize that I really need intervention to better support people that I need to support and to heal myself. Thank you again for this.
proud of you Ben! I missed watching your vlog, thank you for sharing this to us, you're so brave, I appreciate you so much 💙
Thank you, Ben. What you have said, is something that I really feel right now, that I cannot express. I cannot afford to take therapy, yet. But I hope soon enough, I can. Thank you, Ben, for being our voice, for us that are silently battling all these demons inside us.
I love how you were able to articulate those reality that someone like me might be needing to hear in this moment. Thank you for the courage to speak up. That might be one of your purposes in life.
I might need a hug. Thank you so much.
🤗
Hugs!! I can be a listening ear po if you need someone to talk without judgment :)
I’ve never seen you in awhile Ben, thank you so much for being brave enough to share and admit this reality of yours to all of your viewers. This is such an eye opener to everyone who seldom talks about their current situation. Hopefully you get all the time that you need to ease your transition on coming back to what you used to do.
Happy for you to see that genuine smile.Hoping for your healing..Praying for everyone’s healing..Let us be kinder ♥️🙏
always remeber, your feelings are VALID! Thanks, Ben for sharing your story, PAYTING!!
i started crying when u played the audio with ur therapist. i cried because realizing na we may have different experiences, but we felt the same in everything. until now im crying because i KNOW now that i needed help. i always think that myself is just crazy just like u thought that everyone has blocked nose in the morning. i thought putting boundaries with people is JUST WEIRD. but i think its not. maybe im also in defense mode and i need to seek help. thank you, ben. thank you.
this is what i like about your vlogs and is also the reason why I continue supporting you. You're the reason why I try to be productive each day for the past 5-6 years now ( i think). each time I feel like the week has been way to rough for me I treat myself just to at least have something good going, you're positivity amazes me to the point where my mind became open to things. I understood life much more making your channel as the base. It felt relatable as I continue to watch your vlogs. I hope we get through these obstacles and improve much better than before. LABAN BENPIRES!
Hi Ben, I’m so proud of you for your courage to seek therapy and be out in the open about it and also medications. I’ve been diagnosed with MDD for 7yrs now, good job on what you’re doing to keep yourself healthy and mentally stable. 👏 Your journey towards recovery may take more time than you’ll ever expect but never lose hope. Pag MDD kasi extremes talaga. One week you’re so positive, energetic and happy. Following weeks you’re stuck in a blackhole. Just never lose hope and will power to continuously help yourself. You do you! God bless! 😊
Thanks for this vid. ❤️ I also feel the same way cause I am in my 30s na and I feel lost. People think of me as a strong person cause lagi ako nakatawa and I am a psych grad so I need to look as if I feel good all the time but deep inside I am not. It's true that social media made is think that you always need validation from others to feel good but the reality is it's just yourself overthinking. In the end of the day mas Kilala mo self mo and alam mo mas magpapasaya sayo. I felt better after watching this and I am proud of you for being brave of sharing your story. ❤️
Love you benedict! Just do you after all living is about experiencing and learning and what matters more is you’re happy and proud with where you are today
I miiiiisssss you so much Ben. ❣️ A friend of mine once told me that, "when searching for love, whether it's a hobby, a thing or a person make sure you that find yourself there first." Sometimes we tend to lose ourself in the process of maintaining the image that we set, to the point that our hobbies, our true identity, or basically everything that's natural in us are becoming our burdens. Rest if you must, but I'm glad that you're doing better than before. More power! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you, Ben. You spoke for a lot of people still afraid for the world to know such struggles. Kudos.
I am happy that you are addressing this and you let peope know. Being open to the world is one step to getting better, I believe. You will get there! Just be consistent and things will be better in no time. Di mo mapapansin you can continue living life like you used to, not feeling axious about everything that really doesn’t matter. We love you Ben. Ingat parate. ❤😊
Kakarelate iyong executive dysfunction when one would just shut down from the entire world and shun everyone. Could remember how I didn’t do basic activities of daily living for three days and had to slap myself awake and pick myself up after having a social welfare check at 3am-that was pivotal for me. Although I had to leave a big city and go back home to heal, I do not regret such.
Thankful for my Q pill for being a good help so far and I hope this will be a sign for anyone to seek help, start the healing era and eventually come out strong. ✨✨✨✨
Thank you, Benedict, for this video! Made me feel I am not alone. And that you for giving so much emphasis on not taking mental health so lightly. 💕
Thanks for this. I badly need this one right now. Very refreshing. Thanks, Benedict.
To my Dearest Kuya Ben♡♡
Remember that you are always LOVED ❤ no matter what you're facing right now .... lilipas din yan! Don't give up po iloveyouuuu and sending virtual hugs🤍❤🥰
I felt so productive after viewing this video. Thanks Kuya Ben for becoming my virtual Kuya. Always here as your virtual bunso to listen and support you virtually. Fighting
been to therapy and left a year after cause of financial and committment issues and im crying happily to see someone getting better which i know i will never be. hoping for more better days sir benedict!
Proud of you and I'm rooting for you. I hope that you will always have the healthy choices in life. Keep getting better. You inspired a lot and touched many lives for sure through this video. Thank you and stay well, Ben. 🙂
We can get through this! Hugs to everyone 🤗🤗🤗
Kudos for being brave and being comfortable enough to share this personal chapter to your huge platform.
Personally, I felt heard through this video especially on the light on being an adult who built majority of one’s life by making versions of himself that was tailored to how people would benefit from us and also to overcompensate so as to feel “validated”.
Immensely grateful for my mum for initiating to eventually see a behavioural medical specialist and from there break down almost three decades of the unreal me. Started on a regular medication that is very helpful in regulating my mood and sleep. Perhaps I will highlight that acknowledging to oneself that you have a health problem and you need help, is the single most essential step to healing and recovering. To anyone having a difficult time, you aren’t alone and you will get through this. Hopefully a Filipino version of #PostYourPill, mental health wise will be an eye opener for the general Philippine public. ❤❤❤
Thanks Ben, this video made me feel better. I was really experiencing depression as you read this comment but, until I found your video. It made me realize something and told myself that everything will be okay. Just hold on and don't give up and think of the things that you love the most and channel it, use it to overcome the sadness and remove the dark cloud over your head.
Thank you so much. More Powah!
Thanks for this Ben, I feel seen and heard. This whole video resonates to my core. You are such a good speaker!
Hi, Ben. I don't know if you'll be able to read this but I am hoping you would! This vlog is such a precious one. You were able to craft something raw and honest in one video. And I admire you for that. Thank you for being honest and speaking on behalf of all of us with the same situation. I want to just thank you. I hope you'll share more of this in the future! BUT AGAIN, IT'S NO PRESSURE. Thank you, Ben!
As someone who currently experiences burnout (its been 3 weeks), listening to you talk about these things is somehow therapeutic to me. Knowing that I'm not alone in what I feel makes me feel validated, and convinces me to not be too hard on myself. We'll heal and move forward, no matter how long it takes, for ourselves. Thank you, Kuys Ben.
This too shall pass. Praying for you Benedict.
Thank you for sharing all those experiences! I am confident it will help a lot of people going through same situations.
Hi. Kuya Ben!
Just wanna let you know that I will be here supporting you no matter where life puts you. Thank you for sharing your mental health journey in this vlog. My advice to you is that, don't put so much pressure on yourself just to prove to people that you're good enough. Genuine people in your life would appreciate what you can offer and they would accept on what you can't offer. As well as your fans. Hehe. Been here since 2019. Shoutout.
As a mental health advocate & a psychology graduate, I am so proud of you on sharing awareness on mental health and openly talk about your experience about it through this vlog. I loved how open you are on issues in your life. Thank you for your courage. Appreciate it.
This too, shall pass! Fighting! 🫶 God bless *notice me please, thanks xoxo* Rooting for you, all the way! 🥳
No matter what you're facing right now, you'll get through it. There's light at the end of the tunnel, so don't give up.
Just glad that you're healing and you're in the process of healing.Sending virtual hugs!
Hi Ben, thank you for sharing your story. I can relate to you. I have Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia. I'm seeing my psychiatrist for almost a decade. What you're going through is not easy but I know that you are strong. 🖤
This video gives all the validation that we all needed. 🥺 Thank you for sharing this kuya Ben. I know it took a lot of courage to share this to us so I’m proud of you. laban lang… hugs💗💗
This type of video urges me to pursue Clinical Psychology to help people like you kuya Ben and to be able to spread awareness about Mental Health and how Mental Illness can affect your Physical Self.
I hope you can pass this dark phrase and find yourself again
And live without the hassle and be free again
We love you and we were always here for you
FIGHTING 💜💜💜
Thanks for sharing this Ben . It made me realize the value of life. and to look on to the brightest side and move forward. As you read this, I am still in the darkness , stuck and helpless. Watching your video has ignited a spark of an opportunity to become better. Been watching your videos since 2020, and this us one of the best. Thank you for sharing your experiences, I hope one day I will have the courage to share mine and the strength to face all my fears 😭
Alam mo Ben, ako rin ay nakararanas ng ganito at times, stress from work, sa bahay o kahit saan man ako magpunta. But knowing that I have a support group either sa mga relatives ko, sa ilang katrabaho at sa spiritual family ko sa church, alam kong mayroon akong matatakbuhan in times of need. I don't want to sound too religious here but praying actually helps, both in good times and bad times. You know what, just maybe, I can pray for you for God to sustain you at all times. He loves you so much and thinks about you always. Keep safe and God bless!
I feel for you and your feelings are valid. Im diagnosed with anorexia nervosa to major depressive disorder with generalized anxiety disorder and now down to bipolar 2 and binge eating disorder.
All i can say is, i really hope you find the fit doctors for you and know that you are not alone and no matter how small or big your progress is, progress is progress. Thank you for this video. You are my first fave youtuber and this is actually sad that you have to go through this but i know kaya mo yan. Surround your self with positive and loving people. Always know that you are loved.
Once step at a time lang, Ben. :)
Kaya natin to.
We love you kuya Ben. Kahit ano man ilabas or ilapag mo mag hihinaty at manunuod kami kahit Anong mangyari. Always remember that. Please don't be harsh to yourself, mahal ka namin🥰
I can see myself from your whole experience Ben. Reminds me of what i went through. You are not alone. I can relate to your journey. We’ll get better for sure. Therapy helps indeed.
Thank you for sharing this. I feel like someone has spoken for me. Like validating what i am going through. It is true that not everyone believes or has a knowledge about depression and anxiety, but at least through social media and vlogs like this, awareness is spread, and people atleast would just choose to be kinder and more understanding, if they could not directly help. Hindi natin kailangan ng excuse para maging mabait ang kapwa natin sa atin, but i think it is a general sense in humanity to be compassionate. 🙏🏻
Thank you for this video, Ben. Isa ako sa mga taong need talaga magseek help professionally pero wala talagang pambayad. So by watching this atleast man lang feel ko na na hindi ako nag iisa na ganto yung nararamdaman. Laban lang po tayo
Thanks for sharing this. Such an eye opener. Hugs to you Ben, for being so brave. ❤️
I feel you. I am in a similar situation. I categorize myself as one with High Functioning Depression. Been to some Psych Docs but since one of my issues is trust, I don’t trust them and hasn’t been medicating. I do the spiral thing and it works all the time. Oftentimes, I took a leave from work, sometimes 2 days to 1 week, as often as monthly, just to compose myself again, by sleeping, eating and doing nothing. Like you, I don’t wanna harm myself, so when the going gets tough, I just take some time off, and go back to work after, like nothing happened. Its been more than 30 years for me. So pat your shoulder for recognizing and accepting who you are. You will surely continue being a productive person until you gets old. Fighting! 💪
thank you Ben! I love how you just be true to this vid and also to help us to remember to be kind to our self💖
I feel you, Ben! ❤ we are with you.
Congrats Ben! The first step to the process of healing, is aknowledgement that there is a problem. Seeking help and telling your story take a lot of courage within. I think you're getting there, the path to healing. Just remember to be more kind to yourself, but never lose focus to your goal. Therapies, medications and support system can do wonders to cope up. I hope you'll get through it. 👍💪
As a psych grad, I understand what you felt po. Minsan talaga there are points in life na minsan unexpected na you feel down talaga. Especially you are known in social media industry, and there's a lot of pressure po talaga to you. Gagawa ka ng way para lang ma-ease yung pain na mas masakit pa kaysa sa physical pain.
Ang physical pain kase, it may cure talaga. Unlike ang mentality and emotions hindi agad agad yun nawawala.
Skl, I took psych kase I want to help through listening with the problems of people kase I know the feeling of ganiyan,
While watching your vids kuya ben, I want to help you through just listen to your feelings talaga, I hope that as time goes you'll heal kuya. Huwag lang magmadali, just one step at a time lang kuya ben. Nandito lang ako as your supporter, kami na lubos kang nauunawaan.
Mahigpit na yakap sayo kuya, praying for you always
You are absolutely right! I've been wanting to vlog my travels but when you're there and see the nature and the place you just forget everything and just enjoy the view and relax. That's why I enjoy every travels.
Hi! This is very refreshing to hear. People tend to see you VS how you see yourself. There are some people who would think “arte mo lang yan” or sometimes “naghahnap lang ng pansin” kaya minsan mga taong depress (talking in general) don’t want to seek help. I commend people like you na despite of everything around you, you have the will to fight and change. Not everyone has the guts to do that. Instead, for them it’s easier to take their own life. I hope whoever sees your video will be an eye opener that mental health should be taken seriously.
Thank you for sharing. I hope I could hug you. Praying for you, Ben.
Your heard and all the things you do and said and experience matters. Praying for you 🙂
You are so brave to share this, Ben! And thank you kasi I was in the same situation din though different work and environment. Hindi lang ako medically diagnosed but I know, I am going through the same. That Upward-Downward Spiral really helps. ❤️ I pray you will be better and better everyday! Supporting you all the way! 🥰
Sobrang comforting ng last few lines mo Ben. Thank you!
Naka relate din ako sa mga pinagdaanan mo nung time na sobrang depress ako. Na realized ko talaga na sobrang totoo ang depression at ang hirap lalo na pag sobrang nakaka pressure sa work at sa life na parang wala padin ako nararating pero kailangan lang talaga yung positive mindset and know kung anu talaga gusto mo and start to work for it. Yun yung ginawa ko and now masaya nanaman ako sa bagong work na gusto ko at naisip ko don’t rush things may time na darating yun. Just keep going.
Thank you for this video Ben! This is an encouragement to those who experience as yours! So proud of u!! Yea your right things shall pass and u get better than yesterday. God bless un
Sobrang nafeel ko Yung advocacy ng vlog na to! In some sense naging support group Ang comment section. Para sa patuloy na paghilom Benedict! Mahigpit na yakap! Looking forward for your mental health advocacies in life or sa mga vlogs mo. Mahigpit na yakap at Salamat sa pagiging isa sa mga boses ng mental health para sa aming lahat!
Wishing you all the best Ben!!! Silently support you and praying for genuine happiness. 😊
Thank you, ben!!! SENDING LOTS OF HUGS WITH CONSENT.
This video gives me a little urge to create content about my diagnosis as well. Been dying to find ways on how to express myself and help people sa mga taong nakakaranas ng mental health illnesses yung para makita ng iba that being kind never costs anything na minsan mas nakakatulong yung maging kind lang tayo na wala naman equivalent na amount ng money kasi walang specific face or kahit estado sa buhay. Sending big hugs to you and sa lahat ng nakakaexperience nito. At the same time acknowledging people na malakinh support system na nakakaintindinsatin. Godbless you!
Thanks for sharing this ben. Ramdam na ramdam ko to. Yung feeling na di mo na macontrol emotions mo kahit wala naman ganap.
I was diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder as well pero tapos na ako sa medication phase. I truly understand what you’re going through. Mine naman is paralyzing ung panic attacks ko. Di ako makagalaw for 2 hours or more. And naaapektuhan work ko and time ko to accomplish important things. I love you Benedict! I’m here for you kahit di mo naman ako kilala. I hope we both get better!🤗
I'm so happy that you're getting better!
Thank you for sharing your experience and makes us feel that we are not alone
I needed this. Thank you so much ben! You will be ok soon. ❤️
I feel you. I've been through that and glad I'm now better. Hugs Ben! 🤗
