    Darren you are very brave to be open about your life. Thanks a lot for the shoutout. Much appreciated mate. It was an absolute pleasure to have met you & we will meet up again in the future. I'm so glad you have found a hobby you like & I'm happy to help you with any film making related stuff. Keep making the videos. You are definitely improving but at the end of the day the important thing is that you are enjoying making films. All the best mate. 😊😊

    Life can be a difficult journey at times. We all need to find an outlet to cope. For me it has been Otis. Lost my job, then my first Bernese Darryl, a few months later my mom, then dad had to seek assistance in a nursing home...life really got rough. Then came Otis and he forced me to get out of the house. Indeed, this adventure on YT is for me. You just keep on being you. Take good care of yourself...

      Ahh Dear Bruce, i also find your Channel very relaxing and comforting, i think you have a great channel and also love the fact that Otis is a huge feature in your Vlogs, thank you for also commenting and sharing your experiences, yes life can take it's toll, keep feeding Otis those Banana's it's just fantastic! Best Wishes Darren👌👍👍👍

    Darren, I know others have already said this but it's worth repeating - you're so brave to share this and be so open. You say this video has helped you but it will also help others who are feeling the same.
    I'm so glad you've found a hobby and creative outlet in TH-cam - your mention of your Christmas special has me intrigued.
    Can only echo your mentions - thank you for mentioning me (was very unexpected).
    Take care.

    Just to say Darren you’ve got this, I know how things can throw one off balance. As a survivor I know that my music has saved me. In recent times I have been constantly in my studio which has kept my mind off my very recent trauma.
    Keep going my good friend we are all behind you. We all enjoy your videos.

    Darren 😊That was so kind of you, thank you from the bottom of my heart for the shout out. There is so much love and care within the TH-cam community. Like you say. although we all do the same thing getting out and about (me just a little as I am so unfit) the help and support from others is just like a family. I was so worried about starting my channel because of my anxiety and was really worried about receiving negative comments.
    I am so glad I did start a channel because I get to watch and travel the world from my sofa, learn new things and find out more about the creator behind the videos. Well done Darren for opening up, I for one am so glad that you did not succeed back in February. Your videos are very interesting, I am finding out about places I have never heard of and things I can do when I do go.
    On December 3rd it will be 5 years since my stepdad of 23 years took his own life, now nearly 5 years on I want to talk about it and it is a video that I want to make and will do some day. You have done so well opening up and there will be lots of people just like me , thankful that you reached out for support, I am sure your family are very proud of you. Your video will encourage more people to seek help and speak out. Taking it one day at a time
    Claire. One of your TH-cam Family 😁

    Hi Darren, this is a very brave video and I am sure will help others who are watching too. How lovely that your daughter helped with teaching some of the editing techniques. Glad to have discovered your channel and hope to meet in real life in the future. Take care and thanks so much for the shout out. My husband has just subscribed and we are now going to watch Blagdon on the big screen (TV). Nicola 😊

      Thanks so much for sharing your story Darren. I am sure that many others will be helped in return for your bravery in doing it. I agree. I find making videos a very immersive thing to do - both the filming and the editing.
      Thanks so much for the mention too. It was a lovely surprise 🤗
