Bit of a different video that I was a little hesitant to post, but hopefully some of you find it helpful to hear me be open about this. More renovation/cat/Scotland videos soon. x
❤
I don't believe you're looking for sympathy. You're being honest, which is rare today. Thank you for sharing your mental health journey, as some of us are on a similar path.
💐🌹❤️🌞
Thank You George for being so open and honest 😘 I always enjoy your videos and I’m in love with your fur baby too 💞🙋🏻♀️🇦🇺
I admire you for being brave and sharing your experiences. I send you lots of positive thoughts and prayers that things will improve for you!! Each of us has our own challenges. ❤
You’re normalizing men addressing mental health issues ❤ you’re making a difference despite all the pain and struggles. Sending love. Hugs.
For someone with so much anxiety, you have the most calm and soothing presence online. ❤
So true.
Couldn't agree more. This video helped me, so thank you for making an effort.
A very zen aura he has for sure. 🙏🏽
Haha thanks Miriam!!
@@Patchy
I thought about the panic attack when you demonstrated a baseball bat and other means of protecting your home from unwanted guests some time ago...
Watching you bake and caring for your beautiful cat; taking the time to put those cookies in a proper tin; feeding your plant and listening to your tale …. Utterly mesmerising. I see only that you are living your best life in a lovely cozy home. Thank you for sharing all this xx
Tolberone chunks in cookies, too. Great idea
I love this. My husband is a psychologist and he always tells me that it’s insane how a person can look so normal, and even seem like they have a perfect life, and yet behind the scenes there can be so much suffering. He doesn’t share details but he tells me you never would have guessed if you met these patients casually the kind of trauma and pain they’re in. It’s made me more patient with others and appreciate so much when people share their journey. Good luck to you.
We learn to get by. Go to work, get some groceries, etc., but it’s exhausting just doing that and trying to act “normal” through the day. And we don’t want to be a burden or explain how we feel because unless you struggle mentally, you don’t understand. Sometimes it’s counterproductive to hear you just have to get out there, or it’s not so bad, or you can pull yourself up if you want to…over and over. No, we don’t. That’s the problem. Every single person I’ve told about my mental health issues was in disbelief because they thought I was so happy. We do that to move through the world. I really appreciate people like you and your husband who realize that and show compassion. ❤️
@@carladicarlo3255thank you for sharing. Pretending to be or feel "normal" is exhausting 😶
This is true.
Thank you for your open approach. I'm so impressed by your bravery!
I think living with a cat in a cozy home like yours is very helpful. I wish you all the best. Thanks for your videos: I love renovations a tiny houses👍🏻👍🏻
You're not naive or stupid for believing and trusting your therapist. You were already so vulnerable and I'm so sorry you went through all of that!
Thank you for sharing your story and all the best to you x 💙
Thanks Fern! Appreciate it. :)
Yes we all hope you will be better
This! I was trying to think of a way to say what BeautifulFlamingo said. Absolutely correct! I am glad that you are doing better. Cheers! Keep up the good work.
On a side note, if I were to try and clip my cat's nails as you did I would end up in the hospital.
i have a good friend who told me therapists are like teachers, or yoga instructors, or bosses. you just click with some of them more than others, and there are also some that you just won't fit with. and that its ok to change therapists. that was a real ah ha moment for me, because i'd always thought of a therapist as a bit of a divine authority who must be infallible. but in the end we're all just human and both personal and professional relationships have to go both directions
Yes!
I’m soon to be 80. Had some issues myself but learned over time that it got better as I made it through each episode knowing “this too shall pass.” No secret cure, just gained more trust in my ability to get through it with each recovery.
I love listening to that soft Scottish voice of yours.
'This too shall pass' has kept me going through many dark times in the past. A powerful mantra.
Wisdom! 👏
:-) *
I love his voice too 😊
Very wise words Donna, bless you.
You speak so eloquently about your mental health struggles, George. I feel a little weird saying I “enjoyed” that video but it’s always refreshing to hear someone speak so openly.
George, weird was the last thing on my mind. I actually think you’re one of the coolest you tubers online. Look at ALL the accomplishments you have done and on your own! I watched your home transformation video and I was quite impressed. Most people your age are not even on that stage of owning a home. Anyway! By the way, we all have phobias and we are all weird. However, not everyone is as honest as you. Thank you for sharing. Your cat, by the way, is absolutely gorgeous. I have 10, all rescue and all indoors. :)
Man, I became really concerned and started to fear the worst when I saw the title and listened to the intro. I'm so glad you're improving and that you're in a healthier state of mind. In the grand scheme of things, you're just some TH-camr who occasionally puts out a 10-minute video about a tiny house or an adorable cat. But somehow, your content has become that which I most look forward to watching. It's simple, tranquil, sincere, and original. Please keep taking good care of yourself and know that your work is quite appreciated around the world.
Thanks Jason, that means a lot! :)
I agree with Jason 💯%
And George, please, please I would loooove to have the recipe on those cookies😋😋😋
Take care and see you and junior in next video 🤗🥰🇸🇪
I also feared the worst. Glad you're sharing.
@Jack Ibrahim Phil. 4:13
For every Christian telling you to avoid fellow humans, I have; John 11-35.
Because that is surely what he did when you as a Christian gave that awful advice.
I've viewed a lot of your videos and I can say you are the absolute OPPOSITE of weird. You are sensitive, polite, considerate and well mannered and your speaking voice is like therapy to many of us (I'm sure of that). Just be yourself and look after your own mental & physical needs. Your cat is adorable btw! Pets are the best therapy for humans as their love is unconditional.
Pets are the best kind of human! Leave it at that.
Wonderful comment and I TOTALLY AGREE with u that this gentleman has a WONDERFUL AND VERY SOOTHING SPEAKING VOICE!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for that. I can't recall how I discovered george's channel but I'm glad I did (and subscribed of course). 😃@@animaltalk1515
I absolutely agree.
I just wanted to tell you that I think it was beautiful, courageous and thoughtful to share your situation. You would be surprised how many people face mental health difficulties. As a society, we tend to hide these things. I am sure that many people will be encouraged by your story and in that, it was well worth sharing. Sending positive thoughts and prayers your way.
One can easily tell that you are such a sweet and loving human being. The gentleness you exchange with your cat is also very heartwarming! Let me just add that I firmly believe that everyone has their struggles, we all struggle in one area or another or probably several, therefor the sanest thing we can all do is be patient with ourselves while also having compassion for each other and it looks like you're already doing that! ✨
Dear George: Please remember: People who judge don't matter and people who matter don't judge! It takes tremendous courage to honestly explain what has happened. I am so happy you found a doctor who you are confident in and who has prescribed appropriate medication for you. I have been in sober recovery for decades and then the food recovery program after that because sugar was my first addiction. So very proud of you and sharing your truth, George ...keep on keeping on! Cheers!
"People who judge, don't matter and people who matter, don't judge!" Probably one of the most helpful things I have ever read. Thank you!
The combo of you baking those cookies, taking care of your cat and speaking with that beautiful calm voice about some deep things was a therapeutic experience ❤ its strange how much suffering we must go through in our lives.. and how we, in the midst of it all, might not realize how special we are
Absolutely, this was such a thoughtful video speaking of your past pain yet soothing while we watch your baking & taking care of your cat. Sending you love & warmth. 💖
Agreed!:)
Sending you big healing vibes from Toronto, Canada. I'm old enough to be your Mum (even perhaps your Gran!) and I've suffered from anxiety/panic disorder, depression and emetophobia since I was twelve years old. The hardest part for me was my teen years. I hated being away from home in case I got tummy sick so I avoided a lot of social situations. To be honest, my life has gone in waves...some good years, some bad years, a few really horrible years and then just back to what I would call "normal". I'm a Widow now, as well as a Mum and a Granny and still have my bad days. COVID didn't help and now I've got a touch of agoraphobia as well (it's only bad when I'm out shopping or whatever all by myself). Just hang in there. You will get better as time goes on. Keep up with your therapy and don't be worried about talking about this on TH-cam.
Believe me in this often scary strange and troubled world you are a breath of fresh air . I certainly hope nobody dares to call you a weirdo and if they do please ignore them. We need more of what you are sharing with us all . I totally appreciate you and your adorable cat 😻
I’m in awe of you George. You’re not weird. I can’t imagine anyone criticizing you for anything related to your health. We are all just doing our best to make it through life.
Just know that you bring joy to me and certainly others. You’re inspiring on many levels. Plus you’re just plain adorable.
Keep doing what you love!
You're not weird. I'm a big advocate for sharing mental health issues. Well done for explaining your illness so eloquently.
As someone that struggles with anxiety myself, seeing content creators talking openly about their mental health gives me such hope for my own. Thank you for sharing George.
P.s your cat is adorable. ✨🐈✨
Thank you for being so open. I suffer terrible from anxiety and I’m 31 and 6st 8pounds and it makes me not want to get out of bed at times. I can be hungry but don’t have the Will to eat and I have project I want to do but at times just can’t seem to find the strength. The fact you are here making this video gives me hope 🙏🏻
Try vitamin b look it up
Oh George, I’m a counsellor and I’d like to say thank you for being so open and honest. Good luck in everything you do. Ps, your cat is gorgeous.
Are you a student counsellor?
Hi hun I was having panic attacks from age 5 I’m now 55 and nothing worked except medication so I understand you I absolutely do my son is also the same I think you are very brave and bright and I wish you all the best for the future and your not weird honestly you’re doing just great 👍
I have taken anti depression meds for 30 years ( 66 years old) and feel great. Not artificially happy, but cruising at normal! Great feeling.
My Mother had anxiety issues. She was at her best when she had a support group she went to. Sharing is caring. It is beneficial for us all. Very proud to listen to your journey. Take care!
its really, really important to hear about disordered eating in/from men. i felt so alone being a man with an eating disorder, it made me feel 'feminine' in a way that i couldn't control and i was desperate to know other men who were hurting in the same way as me. we're in it together!
I'm really sorry to hear you're going through this. Emetophobia is an anxiety disorder, not an eating disorder. :) People often confuse it with anorexia, but they are different.
@Allah Loves, Forgives and Saves Personal preference. The implication is that he wants to appear as more masculine. Realistically though, being skinny or large should not be considered gendered qualities.
ive been suffering from eating disorder for over 15 years now. it doesnt help when misandrist women call you out for being not a man because you are weak. fk them!
You know, until I read your comment I didn’t realize how little if any you ever hear about men with eating disorders… I can imagine how hard that is if you are suffering from one. Sending you Love and Light and wishing the best for you.
Hi George, my name is Jan, I’ve just watched this video with my husband through his own channel……I just wanted to say you’re a lovely, lovely young man. You’re family must be so proud of you…..I’m so sorry for all you’ve been through to this point, but want to say how proud of yourself you should be……..I suffer too on a daily basis, my problems are chronic pain related and I’m pretty much (at 51 years old) housebound because of it. It’s been a part of my life for 29 years now, I actually can’t remember what it feels like to NOT be in pain……..Well done for speaking up and I’m sure you will bring comfort to many knowing they’re not on their own…….I adore cats and I’m really into baking too, we have a lot in common even though age wise we’re many years apart!…..keep doing what you’re doing and we both wish you every single (well deserved) success in life……your cookies look amazing!…..take care…….Jan xx
Jan, I was sorry to read your words about being in so much pain. I have some but not so extreme. I started giving my well loved older dog a supplement because she would often be in pain after being too active. I gave her so many natural supplements and even broke down and gave her pain meds from the vet. So what I give her now is green mussel 750 mg/ day. Hope I'm not jinxing our good luck here! Anyway she runs like a puppy now sometimes, and I haven't seen any evidence of being in pain. Hope that helps you.
Gosh, I want one of those cookies so much! My sympathies, Jan. I developed lupus just after college, went from very active, to now struggling to care for myself and dealing with pain on a daily basis. I’m glad we have ways to communicate with others online so we’re not isolated as much. I tend to be a very upbeat person, but the pain and not able to leave the house whenever I want are definitely wearing on me, as my condition has worsened over the last nine years. I admire your resilience and ability to offer comfort to others after so many years of struggle. I’ve got a great support network and managed to see a lot of people in person this year due to others’ sacrifices to support me in doing so. Sending hugs your way!
You seem like an awesome young man. Not everyone heals the same way, you have to find out what works for you. I am an old lady that likes to game online. That is my healing. Playing on the weekends with my son, and my group of longtime gaming friends. You do you! Wishing you a wonderful life full of love and laughter.
Oh my George, you are certainly not anything like a weirdo. I think you are strong and inspirational. I know you aren’t looking for pity but I AM sorry you’ve had such troubles but I am so happy and grateful that you are doing better and that you have the love and support of your mom. I don’t personally suffer from anxiety or depression but my teenage son does and as a mom, I know how much we worry and want to take that hardship away from our kids. Much love and respect from this mom in the United States. I hope you continue to heal and get better every single day.
Junior's polite protests at having her nails clipped are just adorable.
I don't think anyone ever "beats" their mental health struggles. The important thing is to not let them beat _you_ . Keep loving yourself and making your life as happy as you can. As horrible things can be, we all deserve to enjoy happiness wherever we find it (or make it) ❤
@Libbathegreat Totally agree, we don't beat them. Very nicely put
Sorry you aren’t feeling well. Mental health issues are so important to understand. It isn’t well understood and hard to find ways or people to help you deal with issues you may have.
You are very eloquent about what has happened to you. I hope you accept how valuable this sharing by you. I feel proud of you, you’re working hard to overcome what is going on, I think you’re brave, kind and giving. Appreciate you.
Thanks Patricia, that means a lot! :)
I'm always happy to watch you discuss mental health issues. I've suffered from serious anxiety and depression for over 40 years. I regularly see a psychiatrist and take psychiatric medicines daily. Many people suffer in silence and fear to seek professional help. Your discussions may indeed help many people. Keep up the good work.
Have you tried psilocybin or LSD microdosing? I have. Four decades of depression for me. These help a lot.
Not weird at all, George. I've got some terrible childhood abuse issues and you talk more freely about you than I could about me. I salute you for that.
People that don’t suffer from anxiety don’t understand how hard it really is. Thankyou for talking about this. I am a new subscriber ❤️
Very very true
That goes for every sickness. I suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome & people that don't suffer from it are total pricks. They don't understand & don't care & don't listen no matter how many times I try to explain it. They are nothing but self-centered pricks that don't care about anybody or anything but themselves. The entire universe revolves around them. Even God must answer to them.
Exactly! Always telling me to “not be afraid”, or even saying I’m just posing. It’s horrible not being taken serious.

@@deetgeluid yes, some people just think it’s a small thing, but anxiety can be crippling 😔
As the father of two girls (19 and 21) with mental health issues (anxiety/depression) and as the husband of a wife with the same mental health issues, I can relate to the struggle of finding something that works for each individual's specific needs. It can be a long and difficult journey. Thank you for sharing your story.
Hope you have some support too Joel ☺️
Thank you for making this very personal and difficult video and speaking up about your mental health. I’m sure that these challenges have existed, ever since the human race began but many of us, were raised to believe that, as men, we should simply suck it up and move on, with no discussions of ways to do so. Your openness to discuss your challenges and successes is inspiring and gives hope to others that life is full of possibilities to succeed, no matter what you are dealing with at the time.
Do they work with you to help them? I'm alone with adhd. Everyone I know immediately makes a joke and dismisses me. It's hurtful, and I just want them to work with me.
@@aja1108 You might be alone in person, but you can have help online! I discovered a channel here on YT called How to ADHD. I was diagnosed as an adult and that channel has been a huge help for me. Maybe it can help you as well.
George, I literally just discovered your channel today and I enjoyed it very much. I also appreciate this video, the openess and humanity of it - it is so refreshing to see realness on vehicles like TH-cam! I know this was posted a few months back, so I hope you have continued to improve. :)
This is the first time I've ever heard someone on TH-cam talk about a phobia I have/had too. I know what it is and can be like. It's debilitating. I'm thirty and luckily doing better than ever but I know what it's like losing school/work/love to the complications of Emetophobia. Thank you so much for sharing your story with us, George. And a big hug from your neighbour across the North Sea
Your fans have your back. It takes a brave soul to open up on such a large scale. Keep striving for good mental health and we will be here for you!
Thank you!!
I totally agree I GOT YA BACK! :)
You are definitely NOT weird, you’re awesome for sharing this. Thank you for being so transparent and trying to help others through your experiences.
Thanks Amanda! :)
What a beautiful person you are! I just landed on one of your videos, and now, an hour later, still here, and subbed! You share in such a good way, and your intentions feels pure and good hearted in all I've seen. Thank you for sharing your stories!
From an old woman. George, Even in a world with so many suffering people speaking out at last, and with ubiquitous understanding, compassion,and acceptance, it still takes a helluva lot of strength of character to make your statement. Good for you! The George we have come to know through your actions shows industry, an enquiring and exciting mind; great intelligence, a gentle nature, and guts, . You maintain a strong, supportive, loving relationship with your family - this is golden. Your Tiny House channel has brought people who share your passion. You are a good man, George and have a great future. Tell you parents they did everything right with their son! And love to pretty Junior!
This other old lady, seconds this statement..
Perfectly said from another older lady!

bless your hearts ❤️
I struggled with depression and panic attacks for years. It sounds to me like you're taking all the right steps, you've got loving support, and medication (which i believe saved my life). Thank you for being brave enough to share your story. I'm a grandma and I'm sending along a grandma hug!
Thanks Susan, appreciate the Grandma hug!!
I felt that Grandma hug too! Bless you!
I have CPTSD and now try Wim Hof method
This conversation is so important. You're very brave for sharing all of this with us, and I wish you more good days looking forward ❤
I am a new subscriber. I think you are very brave. Talking about problems isn't always easy. Putting your self out there takes courage. We've all got things we are working on. Thank you for sharing. I love Junior, what a little sweetie.
As someone who also struggles with emetophobia, anxiety, and depression, it’s comforting to know I’m not alone in that battle.
Thank you for being so open and honest about your mental health struggles. I’m very happy to know you’re in a much better place now 🙌🏼♥️
P.S. Junior is as adorable as ever and those cookies looked absolutely delicious!
Glad it brought you some comfort! Haha she is, and they were! :)
Have you tried the Thrive Programme for Emetophobia yet?
This type of vulnerability is one of the greatest strengths I can think of. You’re an exemplary human. Being human is not easy. Idk why it needs to be so hard in so many different ways for everyone. Struggles are real, and so are beauty, intelligence (emotional and intellectual), and kindness, all of which you bring to 1000s with your videos, and no doubt to those around you in person. We love you.❤
Thank you! That's very kind of you to say!
Keep up the good work. I don’t feel sorry for you; I feel immense pride! I’m so very proud of you and thankful for your video🎉
Bravo, man! This is very inspiring for me. The struggle to open up about things like this is severe, I know. The very fact that you're talking about something that most people are mum about makes you a champion! You have the right stuff! This video will help a lot of people. Thankyou!!! I live in the Bronx, NY.
For an older guy like me, I come to your videos to rest in the tranquility of your life. It reminds me how important the simple things are; downsized living, being with your cat, making cookies. So beautiful!
In this video though, I am also reminded how similar we all are, struggling with the same things to varying degrees. Thank you for courageously sharing a more challenging part of your life with the world. There are hundreds of thousands of people out here who relate to you and value your authenticity. You really are a gift for so many of us. 🙏
Andrew Stewart, what a lovely comment.. And, I agree...
Well said and I agree!😊
Bravo! EVERYONE has hidden stories to tell. SHARING takes courage and great kindness. Hugs!
How true! Way to go George 💞
You’re a fine young man. As a mom of young adult children who have varying mh conditions, your perspective is lovely to see. It’s hard as a mom to hear from your own children what their struggles are or even for them to share it. They feel burdensome. Thanks and I want to say your own family must feel proud. I’m was happy your renovation video popped in my feed. Please continue to allow support from others and know the story of your journey helped a struggling mom. Sending positive energy to you!
Love your style and your vibe. Cheers to good days and rather peacefully coming out of the bad ones 💓✨
As someone who developed a long-term chronic illness when I was 13 I definitely understand the feeling of your peers and living their lives while you seem to be stuck. Thank you for making the video.
@@chaoticneutral6288 typo corrected
Sorry to hear that Colin! Hope you're getting on OK.
@@Patchy thank you! Like yourself I'm doing better than I have been in the past and am grateful for that. Wishing you all the best. P.s cookies looked great 👍
You’re not weird. I find you brave. I was raised in an extremely violent and abusing house ( also was molested) and had extreme anxiety and panic attacks for most of my life. I am one of those that got worse with medication. I started to take vitamins and began to calm. Unknown to me at the time one of the vitamins I was taking was turmeric and has been known to help with anxiety. I am still a bit of a hermit, but much improved. Please never stop being yourself. You are fabulous. By the way, those cookies look SO GOOD!!!
The right type of supplements and foods really do help. I’m so glad you are feeling better. ❤
Cheers man, you killed it with the video! Thanks for sharing!!
I'm so sorry you suffer from these issues. I am glad to see that you can talk about them, which I hope helps you cope with them. Sending super positive thoughts your way! 🌹🌺🏵🌷🌼🌻
My son had terrible anxiety from the age of 8 until he left school. Thankfully that was the turning point..the stars aligned and he miraculously landed an apprenticeship, in a job he loved, with a small company who nurtured him and taught him well and now he’s very happy, confident and loves his job
What great luck! It could so easily have gone awry.
I’m experiencing the same thing with my Son. He’s just waiting to hear about apprenticeship. I pray it’s his turning point. Glad your Son is now happy. ❤
Thank God. He’s a survivor!
That i so wonderful to hear!!! My heart jumps for JOY. So many do not have that blessing and struggle alone. More and more people should talk about it, communication is so important. God Bless.
Lucky you
You're not alone. I've struggled for 40 years, and no, no I haven't beaten it. I have a therapist and meds have worked for me. Being vulnerable is a great trait. I assumed you struggled, but it's such a "normal" thing in my eyes, that I didn't feel the need to bring it up. Cheers to you on your journey. Remember to give grace when needed. I love your channel, and I appreciate you.
Thanks Sherry! Appreciate it. Hope you're doing OK.
Brilliant for sharing and the biscuits look great too.
Good on you for sharing your personal life and struggles. I'm glad things turned around for you and you have more control over it. Much respect for you....Great video! Those cookies look quite good as well 🙂
Well, this popped up at just the right time for me. I've barely left my apartment complex for months, but today I got up and walked to the store. I enjoyed some sunshine and got some healthy snacks, I even started a load of laundry. From one person struggling along to another, I wish us both the energy to keep going. Thanks for sharing your story! p.s. The cookies look amazing and I regret that I did not get those ingredients when I was at the store.
Well done, that’s a big step 👍
🙏🏼🫶🏼💙
Aw I'm glad to hear that! Stick at it. Likewise, wishing that energy for you as well.
Thank you for sharing your story. You are not a weirdo, quite the opposite, very intelligent and brave. I hope you inspire other young people dealing with mental health issues to pursue getting help and to go forward with their dreams
I agree, but also the weirdo has a bad rap, I love when people are a bit weird, and I also consider myself a bit weird in some ways. For me, that just means we are or think or do things a bit differently. It would be a boring world otherwise. 😊
Yes i agree
@@niksolina You've eloquently put into words exactly what I was searching for the right words to say! Well done.
Sending all the good vibes. Thank you for making this film. I had no idea there was something defined as emetophobia and now so many things make sense to me. A million thank yous for every person who is helped by your honesty in sharing. x
I just found your channel, and so happy to have found it. I'm so sorry to hear about your struggles, I've had almost the exact struggles. Anxiety and panic attacks and emetophobia which led to agoraphobia. For me the emetophobia has gone down when my overall anxiety has gone down. Not going to give any unsolicited advice, just going to send you love and my best wishes. Feel better soon. It's not always going to be like this forever.
I rarely comment on YT videos, George, but felt compelled to do so today. Thank you for sharing your story. You’re what people refer to as “a good egg”. It takes a strong person to talk about when they’ve struggled or are struggling. I wish you, and your loved ones, all good things for the future.
Sending good energy! I can empathize with many of your experiences. ✊❤
Thank you! What a blast from the past seeing you pop up!
What a legend
Tay are you sorta getting into the mental health sphere of TH-cam? I feel like I've seen a lot of your comments around.
Chocolate Rainnn, hilarious in South Park!
Hi Tay, I visited your channel the other day for the first time in years. Was impressed and moved by you. You are seriously intelligent and seem like an all-around lovely person. You are clearly more than a one-hit wonder. I hope people rediscover you and give you that. ❤️
Thank you for sharing your story. I enjoy you and your channel very much.. so glad you got that adorable cat!
You're a delightful, and thoroughly genuine young man, George. And your ocassional flashes of sarcasm are wonderful. I'm 55. I've had bouts of anxiety over the years, and I admire and respect your candour and humility. You're a good bloke. Oh, and greetings from Melbourne, Australia. 👍🦘
I think you are a very brave man for sharing these personal issues. You may never know how many people you helped by doing so.
spot on, Cathleen.
Fingers crossed! Glad people seem to relate at the very least.
Thank you for sharing your story. You're not a weirdo and not oversharing. We are all rooting for you. Also, I cannot believe how calm your cat is when your clip the toenails! What a great kitty 🐱
Thank you! And she's a good girl haha.
Your cat is freaking adorable. Thank you for sharing your story, Anxiety is terrible I get panic attacks myself so I can relate. More people talking about issues like this is critical. If more people do then it normalizes it and will encourage more people to seek the help they need.
I saw a therapist who dealt with phobias and he told me about your kind of phobia, so you're definitely not alone. I love your courage and determination to find your path to a more fulfilling life. It's real liberation speaking about mental health problems, and especially since you're wanting to share yours as encouragement to others, so well done, George. You've raised a beautiful happy cat. Here's to many more happy days for your both.
I think you're a very brave person, George. It's not easy to share something this personal with the world, and I'm sure you're helping other people by doing so.
Cheers Nate, appreciate it! :)
I’m so sorry to hear you’re not feeling well. I hope you get well soon! Sending reassuring hugs.
Thank you!
“Quite an anxious wee guy” is just about the cutest description. Best to you in your healing.
I found this video quite helpful, and I would love to hear what was supportive for you in helping you up from your lowest point. I've hit rock bottom a few times, and I am trying to slowly emerge from my most recent one. Thank you for all you do. It feels soothing to hear your voice and story, and to see your cat. I like your pace. I am happy you are here. ❤
There’s nothing wrong with sharing the struggles you’ve gone through with mental health issues.
It’s never a bad thing to talk about. Understanding ourselves is sometimes the hardest part of life.
As someone who’s struggled with my own issues since I was a young child and still continue that struggle as a 58 year old male I have nothing but admiration for you.
You are an incredible human being…kind and caring….very clever and a really nice guy.
I applaud you .
I've been suffering with generalised anxiety disorder for about 10 years now and I am so grateful that people are now having these conversations and I don't feel like such a freak! Seriously though, it helps to know you are not alone and 20 years ago, people just didn't talk about this topic. Thanks
See research by Dr Roland Griffiths on psilocybin and it’s effects on anxiety and depression.
Have you ever tried Phenibut.... a nootropic you can order online. It helped me transform many years ago, it destroys social anxiety, and does not impare you like benzo drugs.
Lasts all day.
The third day I took it, I felt like I could Ace Any job interview and pick up a girl and go on an amazing date.
Highly recommend, its cheap and will last a long time
Eventually I found i did not need it. After I had experience with being confident and anxiety free
its your food Dawn- always has been. Read brain energy
@@MOAB-UT i agree... that advice to cut carbs was great, but to cut Fat was the last thing he needed. If anything most people are not eating nearly enough fat... I mean quality fat, from butter, meat, eggs.
@@fepethepenguin8287 You are correct. I eat wild salmon, EVOO, garlic, grass fed beef, pastured eggs, etc. We need these nutrients. The sugar he is eating is destroying his Mitochondria...which power his brain too, which is very weak. The drugs he took have destroyed his gut health- where the body gets 85% of it's happy chemical called Serotonin. He went all in too fast- had a bad reaction and went right back to sugar to feel normal again- guess who else feels normal- drug addicts and alcoholics when they abuse. He abuses sugar- which is as addictive as cocaine only he does not understand this. His therapist get paid to convince him that it is all in his head. Good for businesses. There is no profit in a cure, which is often just food, fun and sun, friends, exercise, hobby, goals and a meaningful life that serves others- does something that makes you feel good- and faith in bigger things. It's not rocket science.
Thank you for sharing your journey. I am sure it has reached a few people who needed to hear your message. I just discovered your videos today and they are beautifully made and really fun to watch. Your loving interaction with Junior is wonderful! Keep up the great work!❤❤❤
Thank you for your honesty and vulnerability. I have my own struggles with mental health and I want to say that you are so brave for sharing your story. I am sending you love 💕
I’m so sorry for what you’ve been through but ’m glad you’re getting on with your life and things are improving for you. As a life long anxiety sufferer too I fully understand what you’re going though. Thank you for making this video, I am sure it will help many people and hopefully has been cathartic for you.
I don't know anything about your channel. This just came up at the top of my feed. As someone who suffers with anxiety plus other issues, I AM SO PROUD OF YOU for your courage in discussing your struggles. I am very hard on myself. For me, support matters a lot, and it comes in different forms from different people in my life. But it's also me trying to bring myself up by my emotional bootstraps. I like to remind myself that life is lived one day at a time, and every day is a new opportunity to start fresh!
Same here. Glad I did!!
Friends, love yourselves. You are just as worthy as the richest person on this earth. Dig deep and you will know you deserve everything. Much love and best wishes, manifesting great joy and peace for you all 😊❤❤.
I just found him too ... don't know a thing about him, but isn't he just the nicest young man!
Amen to that.
I did find gut health rebuilding and deficiencies a major factor for many with anxiety, and other chronic conditions. The body soul journey has to be balanced. Dr Cynthia Li has helped many. Prayers to better journeys
I am very sympathetic as I have mental health issues as well. ♥️ Challenging. Thank you for being so brave in telling ur story. It was helpful to me. (I have GAD, PTSD, trauma) Sending you big hugs. 💚💜🧡💙
Thank you and sorry to hear you've been dealing with all of that. ❤️
diagnosed myself at age 21 with depression, anxiety, insomnia and ptsd. I come from an occult family that believes it's okay to molest children here in America :) The world is a nasty nasty place for human toxicity to thrive, and sadly, money fuels a lot of wickedness out of us. Not everyone gets to afford to remodel a place to live and film it and generate income on the internet with it. Be blessed and grateful George. Just be grateful. So many have way less than what you are doing for YOURSELF. Be different for me if you were providing for a family, or working hard with a partner, but you're just affording other people to build for you, and decorate for you... This has become a vanity vlog.
@@missymoonwillow6545 Don’t be so nasty!! 😕 He’s living his life in a way that suits him and keeps him happy and self sufficient, I’d say. Seems to me that you’re jealous of his success on TH-cam. Are you doing what you were just espousing him to do??
Respect to you for sharing and all the best with the ongoing work
Wonderful video. Thank you for taking the time to make it and talk. Really helpful. And the lad knows how to cook! Those cookies look awesome (he says, now on the way to the shop to buy some cookies). Stay well, brother. 💖
You said “weirdo”, and I heard “hero”. Anyone who shares the difficulties of life and normalizes seeking help is a hero. Glad you’re having more good days than you had in the past. Thank you.
Scrolling through the comments I'm sure you can see how helpful this video has been for people! Your sensitive presentation - your quiet voiceover, making cookies and Junior - was just right. Junior must really love you - you could see she wasn't exactly thrilled to have her toenails cut, but she let you do it! Please know there is much support and for you out here.
Thanks Judy, that’s kind of you to say! Everyone has been really lovely about this which I appreciate. :)
I love you brother, I know how you feel. Just know you're an incredible person and I am so happy you are not giving into everything!
Hugs and love from Texas. Wishing you all the best and continued good health. Thanks for having the courage to share your experiences.
I am so happy that you shared so many young people suffer in silence hopefully someone will benefit from your story. I’m a lot older than you but I’ve been on anti depression/ anti anxiety meds for about 18 years and my life is good.
I’m so pleased that you have found a way of handling life successfully. Depression is certainly no walk in the park, but the more that we address it, the easier it will be to discover a coping strategy. Keep smiling!
As a mother of a child with debilitating anxiety, I wish I would have had access to a story like yours several years ago. My child has since, grown up, and has become very functional but at times still struggles. Wish you the best in your journey of learning to manage life. Take care and please keep posting. Your videos just might be the one that is found by those that really need it!
Amen! I will pray for your son. Anxiety is so debilitating, and it just comes without warning. So many of us hide it and we shouldn't do that. We should be helping one another to have hope and teach each other tools that work best. God is truly my Savior. God Bless.
My son also has terrible anxiety, it's so sad, he recently went to a "therapist" 2 sessions and she says he's fine 😳🙄
Was just going to say that. I wish we had social media platforms accessible earlier, when my sister and also a friend had eating disorders. It only did more damage with doctors and therapists… To even try to begin to understand, we have to hear it from others going through similar.
Videos like this are extremely helpful not just for those who may also have anxiety, eating issues but also invaluable to those around the person suffering.
its diet.
@George Dunnett Thank you for sharing. I hope there comes a time when you and other genuine people don’t feel the need to apologize in advance, having to explain that you’re not after sympathy etc stops. Why try to please 1% of often vicious people? It’s impossible.. Their mission is to make others feel horrible, so whatever you tell them, it will never help.
Also, it’s a good way to shake the tree of rotten fruit. Those who you certainly don’t want to have around. If they can’t tolerate a genuine video about someone’s life, they should use like TH-cam for kids only. Live in fairyland, where everything is safe..
Unfortunately life isn’t that easy when growing up! We all have issues.
Anyone taking offense to genuine raw videos of someone’s journey, suffer a lot more than those who dare speaking out. Never take any such comments seriously or onboard. It’s sad that you need to say these things before you start.
It’s often healing to speak out. I think it’s often better to find groups online (kind caring people who truly cares) than going to therapists.. The normal people understand a lot more becasue they’re either in it or have been there. That helped my sister in the end anyway.
You are so brave! Thanks for the video. Also the nail clipping of Junior’s was so adorable.
Thank you for sharing! I appreciate your generosity and kindness. I hope you continue to make progress toward your goals.
Hello George! There are millions, if not billions, of people worldwide who struggle in some way. While speaking about mental health concerns used to be taboo, sharing your struggles is helping others to open up and find common ground. Being vulnerable takes great courage, but yields infinitely larger rewards. You’re subscribers follow you because you’re genuine, down-to-earth, kind, considerate, and have an incredibly soothing speaking voice. Do not be afraid of anyone’s reaction to your news. Those who matter don’t mind and those who minds don’t matter. Live your life authentically and do what brings joy! Take care!
What an eloquent , inspirational and likeable man you are. I enjoy your posts immensely and I hope that you get as much joy out of making them as I do watching them. Bravo .
I appreciate your honesty along with your little sprinkles of humor.
God bless hugs,George! Thank you so much for sharing!
Well done, George. Looks like you have about 180,000 of us that can support you through your journey.
Your love for your cat is beautiful to behold, George. I wish you well and anyone else who is similarly affected. 💞
Hey dude! Just wanted to say thank you for sharing and you’re totally not alone. I also struggle with my relationship with food and am underweight as well (we call it a “Hardgainer” here in the states). Most of the discussion surrounding weight is about obesity and in my own personal experience it’s more difficult to open up about being too skinny. So I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your journey with us, as I think it’s important people see both sides of the story when it comes to managing weight and mental health.
I find it ridiculous, and very disheartening that people either have to be nosy or behave so ill mannered and distasteful with no class. I think you’re amazing and the fact that you even have a TH-cam channel and that you can share part of your life is so amazing in itself. People find your videos, very comforting and soothing, and you probably help more people than what you realize in spite of your own issues. Keep doing you because we need you to. And please don’t change a thing
Are you sick? Don't change a thing? Did you read the title- HE IS NOT WELL. People like you enable him. Make him feel like a victim so he self medicates with drugs and sugar. Sick. He must change what he is doing if he wants a shot at a healthy life. Do you just not get it? He is not a victim and neither are you. Stop it. Just stop it now.
❤
Considering all you said here, you keep doing you too! We all, including George, need more people like you as well. You don't sound like you have the issues that many have, but you have understanding and room for people that suffer from them. That's the most we could ask for from anyone. Have a fantastic day!✌
❤🙏🏾
@@66fitton Thanks and you to. I did have issues- worse than this chap but I overcame them using nutrition. Issues can feel very real to people but they can usually be overcome naturally. Most docs want and need to keep you unwell so you keep taking their pills. Medication might be appropriate short term for ~5% of people. The rest is being pushed out of pure greed. Labels make someone feel like a victim mentally. I don't want anyone to suffer. Many do unnecessarily. If a plant was dying, you would change it's soil, put it out in a good environment, full of sun and water it. Not pump it fully of sugar and pills. No wonder the dude doesn't feel right. He started off fairly week, then "healthcare" got a hold of him- told him mental stories (labels) that he believed and pumped him up with massive doses of drugs. On top of that he adds massive amounts of sugar. Tragic.
