      Yes. Mario, its always a good thing to have a genuine support and connection with someone you can open up to an trust to help you through your darkest time. We all have our own struggles, being open and able to show that vunerability as a person is a step to growing. We support you travis ❤

      Mario, it's wonderful that you're just such a supportive friend! As someone who works in the mental health field I know the value of true friendship and support. I would just offer you a piece of advice. During the video there were times where you would interrupt Travis and bring the conversation back to experiences that you had and you were going through. It’s important to try to relate, but it’s even more important to let someone have their own moment. When listening we don’t always need to respond. Sometimes it’s important to just let people talk, and I think I would’ve liked to hear a little bit more from Travis in the video so that he could really express how he was feeling. I don’t say this with any sort of negative intention, I know that you’re trying to be a supportive friend. As someone who has been there for people through many mental health struggles and who has gone through mental health struggles myself, it’s so important to make space for people to talk I interrupted. Just something to be mindful of. Especially when you hear yourself using the phrase "Even for me" or "What I went through" ask yourself how often you're doing that and if that's taking away from his moment.

    • @d.j.7069
      @d.j.7069 4 ปีที่แล้ว +28

      It's not TH-cam that is the problem in my opinion. It's his deep and abiding love for Mario; unrequited in ways Travis needs desperately. Being completely and utterly in love with something or someone you can never have is a recipe for life-long anxiety and depression. Mario says, "I Iove you" to Travis, and even Travis doesn't fully understand how that jaggedly slices through his very soul. SAD!

    I’m so sorry about this Travis. I’m on the opposite end right now. After 2 and a half years of feeling a constant darkness and depression, since mid January there has been a calm on my mind that I honestly haven’t experienced in so long. School being a factor of my depression was ruled out this quarantine and I’ve been feeling better. I at times didn’t think things would get better but now I know that what people say about time healing can be true. I wish you the best. Both of you. ❤️

I hear you ... and seeing you struggling helps me realize I am not alone ... thanks to the video and your honesty I am going to try again in the morning let’s see how it goes.

    Thank you for being so brave to tell your story. Being someone that suffers from PTSD and depression it’s always nice to know that we’re not alone going through this. Where this lockdown for so many has intensified there depression it has actually helped somewhat with my PTSD. I have my issues with depression but have found them much more manageable being able to be home and really focus on myself for once. I am a truck driver so I haven’t been off the road more than a week in 7 years so I’m actually getting the chance to enjoy what I’ve been working so hard for. I hope for everyone we get back to a resemblance of what we had for normality before but I am also hoping it has helped people be more self aware and kind to each other.

    Travis I am so glad you are open about yourself to us because it truly takes a lot of courage to be open with your vulnerability to share with the entire world. Sharing your honesty and truth really resonates with a man like me who is very in touch with his emotions and experiences true depression. I am also so glad you have a superb and supportive friend in Mario because finding people like that in this big world are few and far between. This will remind men going through similar struggles, or perhaps enlighten men who know friends that are, that it all is completely normal for a guy to experience and not demeaning as a man to admit. That is what I want for more people in this world to realize and having people like you Travis are an important asset to bringing more awareness to that cause because I am a big mental health advocate.
    Talking from my perspective, I really admire a man, any man, who is open with his emotions. I think it is so courageous because unfortunately a lot of men are taught from an early age that it is discouraged to show emotion, even in the most extreme of circumstances. While physical health is highly important no matter what, I think it is just as important to place the same value on your mental and emotional health because I believe those three elements are what encompasses your well being. Even to add a fourth, depending on your beliefs, at least for me is recognizing your spiritual health as well which for me is Christianity and evaluate your relationship with God (I am a gay Christian). Once more men are taught to make all these elements as equal priorities, hopefully it will improve their quality of life and not discourage them from going to ask for help or a friend to talk with when they need it the most. No man should ever be kicked when their already down in the name of societal stereotypes, stigmas, and standards that bear no relevancy or usefulness.

      And to answer the question about how I’ve been doing: when social isolation began, I was having a really hard time. I spoke to my then therapist I was still seeing at the time and she gave me great tips on specific things I could do to make it better for myself. Since that time, I’ve been fortunate enough to be doing much better. For the most part, I’ve been pretty happy. I’ve been quarantining with my mom so I’m not all alone and I have weekly virtual work meetings with colleagues from my department so we can stay connected. And I haven’t been feeling depressed like I was when I first started therapy which is a huge relief.

I don't always feel like I have that in my life. I usually keep this struggle to myself because I often feel like my friends and family don't understand what I am going through. Hearing comments like "shake it off" or "you don't pray enough" do nothing but drain me even more than I already am. I will take your advice and try to put a routine together cuz I do acknowledge that I am at my best when I am able to occupy myself.

    Hi Travis I was really touched by your video. Like you self harm, suicide and depression has been part of my life for a long time. Like you I grew up with a family that did not talk about their feelings. Mental health was something that brought shame on my family it was nothing I was allowed talk about inside or outside the home for fear of others finding out. The phrase “just get over it” was commonly used. This led to me becoming very introverted and any attempts in getting help would fail due to the pressures my family would put on me. Even now as an adult I find when I’m depressed not knowing how to talk to others and often feeling that same pressure I felt in my childhood to act “”Normal”” in front of everyone else even though I was dying inside. However the more I tried to suppress it the more these dark feelings would consume me. Often leading to me isolating myself not wanting to spoil things for everyone else. I think it’s important for you and I to remember that our feelings matter to other people. But also that we are stronger than we think as we have survived so much so far in our lives. That we can use that strength and determination to get us through these dark spells. You for example are so talented in everything from your acting, modeling, directing. You have such a creative mind. Plus you are a great friend to those you care about. You even make your viewers on TH-cam or wherever else feel loved and supported like we are part of a greater family. My parting words would be just that it’s okay not to be okay!! With all my love 😘😘

If its prolonged and reoccurring sometimes professional help and medicine are tools that help you get to a place of stability. What I appreciate is that there are varying levels of depression and sometimes we may not consider all the tools - thank you for sharing and for being open!

    Thank you Travis on what you're going through and your honesty about Depression. I have had Depression since I was 23 years old and over the years I have got slowly worse to the point where threatened suicide and committed to behavioral health for a week. Please keep us informed of your progress and my prayers are with you Brother. Each day is a struggle but you and I and others with Depression will get through this.

    Hi Travis. Can I just say I feel your pain and respect you so much for being open and unashamed about what you’re feeling. I was diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder several years ago and have spent the years since then working on my wellness. Like you, I spent my entire life projecting something on the outside that was nothing like I was feeling inside. Those of us who feel things deeply...who just seem to be wired that way....struggle with trying hard to be acceptable to others because if they knew what we were really feeling inside, they’d leave and we would be alone. That was always my fear...until I started a life of recovery and understood that all the faking and pretending I’d been doing all my life was keeping me from the support I was afraid to reach out for. Isolation blocks the love people want to give us...withdrawing from others, that is. I work in mental health now using my lived experience and the things I’ve learned through my own struggles to be there for others who are having struggles of their own. No one can understand like someone who’s been through the same things. Please know that it does get better and your reaching out for support is the first and best step in taking care of your own mental health. I wish I could give you a big hug and share my story with you so you’d know that recovery is possible. Because I’m nothing special and if I can do it...anybody can. Hang in there and keep being the awesome caring guy you are. And know that help is out there if we just reach out for it and accept it. Thanks for using your voice to reduce the stigma against mental illness that keeps people from seeking the help they need. It’s important what you’re doing and I have mad respect for you. Hang in there....this too shall pass. 😘

    Hey Travis. I thought I should comment. Ive been in a very dark depression for a few months too. Also paired with trying new meds that have somehow made things worse. Im so glad that you have someone close to you that is there for you. Because its super important. Keep trying Trav. You are a magnificent creator and I just hope you know that you arent alone and you being so open about it is probably helping a lot of people like me going through a similar circumstance. Stay strong, keep hope.

    @stevefreedman470 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Sweetheart.....I am so sorry that you are experiencing this as I suffer sometimes as well. It's life in general for me that makes me feel not wanted and unloved but always find a moment where I am so positive. With the help of my therapist (and meds) I am able to talk each week to a professional who makes suggestions and gives me "positive reinforcement" that I wouldn't get anywhere else. Dealing with this Covid-19 stuff does not help matters as well....I also remember a therapist telling me, when I feel depressed and don't know where to turn just make sure you are in some kind of light. Dark rooms, shaded areas can increase your depression...always stay in some kind of light and that should help. What a blessing Mario is for you honey and I am so glad you both have each other...I have said that many times....he is your angel through all what you're going through. We ALL love you Travis and want to help you in any way we can. How can we do that for you? Take things one day at a time, one minute at a time and be good to yourself...you deserve all the positive things in your life honey and in this video you were sitting next to that one positive person, your Mario...love you both so much! Mama Steve👌😊❤👍🏿🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶🎵🎶🎵

    I am 100% supportive of what you are saying up to a point. When you mentioned we should be making our beds I thought that is just crazy talk. I hate making my bed with or without Depression, but you do you. Helping other people is the best thing for me when I have Depression. Thanks for doing this video. It will help people understand they are not alone.

    Travis I know it’s hard to deal with depression it’s super difficult I’m happy that you at least have someone who you can share with. I’ve dealt with depression for a long time as well and put up that front of cheery and happy person but it takes it’s toll when that nostalgic feelings are there. Keep your head up and know you are loved yes this quarantine even tho it isn’t helping it will soon be all over.

Cherish Mario because not everyone has someone who is there for them. Keep your head up Travis, you’re one of the ones who will get through it. ❤️❤️

Your honesty is so needed, especially now when so many are struggling. Your bravery in owning your darker days is what makes you beautiful in my eyes.

    Mario and Travis are both so relatable. At the minute I can't see the person that keeps me stable. Quarantine is definitely taking its toll. Although both Travis and Mario have both been through there own personal "hells", they're still going and still there for each other. There are days where I don't see a point in getting up, and on some days, I don't but seeing them both still going shows me that it can be done. Stick together and look out for each other as always and we will see you at the end of the tunnel. Love you guys ❤❤

  • @sofia133100

    Hello Travis, thank you for opening yourself up with us. Just as you and many people, I've been feeling depressed and I just had negative thoughts inside my head (to the point where I almost suffered from Depersonalization/Derealization Disorder). Life doesn't always bring us positive things, but that doesn't mean it's always going to be like that. Sometimes we need the darkness to notice the slight light we have actually in our lives. Sometimes we need to fall to remember for what we were standing before we fell... I'm only 21 and I've been through a lot, so I can't even picture the many things you have been through. I hope you feel well as soon as possible and as soon as the quarantine is over, remember and live as if there's no tomorrow. Quarantine teached me life can turn 180° (totally flip) in any moment and we ought to live life to the fullest. Take care, both of you

    Travis, thanks for posting this video instead of something fun and entertaining. I appreciate your realness and vulnerability. Everyone is struggling right now due to the quarantine. I don’t know if what you’re feeling is due to that, or something else, but I hope you know you are not alone in feeling your depression. ♥️😘
    I’m a mental health counselor and I also have been battling with depression and anxiety for several years due to life and relationship stressors, and been taking medication. Now since the quarantine, I have been working from home for the first time ever, but I’m struggling to manage my time and separate work from personal life. 😳 So, I decided to go back to the office 2-3 days per week.

    Thank you for opening up and saying how you are. We are all here like Mario to support you no matter what.
    I have mostly been good during Shelter in Place; I'm working from home so it is very busy and that is a good thing. But a couple health concerns and some uncertainty over the future of my job have given me times where I was down. Yes, I think it was just down. Fortunately, I do not think I have every been truly depressed.
