Yo Pat, hope you're doing well my man. I've battled anxiety my whole life but it took a major nose dive about 2 years ago when I started to experience panic attacks. Spent a lot of time unable to eat, constant fear of going out and was essentially cooped up withering away like you mentioned. Before I knew it, I was definitely facing that world of self pity and found myself depressed as hell. It really only started to ease up after many many months when I started to actively attack the issue. Not gonna sugar coat it, but that shit was scary af at the time and took A LOT of baby steps to make even the smallest bit of progress. Skip to this time last year I moved to a country I don't even speak the language of and working a teaching job I could've never imagined I'd be able to manage in. Life is great once it's not there, but it does love to bite back here and there. I do have my dips and dive back into the old mentality but learning to manage it much better. Really gonna be rooting for you man. Life is too precious and taking that step back to acknowledge is always a good start.
It takes a lot of strength to play PTCGL while in the throes of depression, that's like pumping gas while you are actively on fire. I admire your spirit and appreciate you being so open about your mental health. Take care! Your community will always be here for you.
Mine is Wugtrio, first deck I felt comfortable with coming back. Glad you're feeling a little better. Depression is a bitch! I have OCD which is pretty well-managed now, but used to have that and anxiety that made it hard to eat, sleep and really just get through the day. But we must work through it all and keep trucking!
Wow! I just discovered you with this video Pat and I just wanna say that you're soo cool! From the way you brought up mental health issues in such a relaxed and nice way to the reaction you had of the game and your commentary! This was a pleasure to watch and this looks like such a fun deck 😋
Glad to see you back at it, and just talking about it brings awareness and connects people, letting them know they are not the only ones that feel that way
Hey, man! I hope you're doing well. Just read the message on Discord and I want to say that we really admire you and the content you make. You can always count on us to chat, have fun and relieve some of the burden of the everyday life. Things will get better. They have to! We believe in you, so believe in us too
Hey hope things keep going up for you, man. Been “withering away” as you put it for a few years now. Had to drop out of college a few times because I couldn’t get myself to do anything. Still in that rut, but I was just recently able to tell my friends about it, which helped significantly. It’s amazing to me that you could open up to your audience about your mental health. Thanks for making content, but never feel like you absolutely have to pump vids out. We’ll wait however long💪
I don't feel the need to pump out in that regard, I know my audience is chill, but I'm addicted to seeing the channel grow lol This recording sesh was actually a good step towards healing, not work at all. The best thing one can do is to try to keep living and pursuing your dreams, so that's what I will try to do. But I definitely thought I was gonna be sidelined for a week or two. My shit was off the rails lmao.
Depression sucks, and life goes on. You are a wonderful dude and will accomplish just about everything you want to in life. There’s no simple “answer” to living with depression, just at least some measure of good life experience, friends and family, medicine, therapy, having things to work on like being a content creator, and being good to yourself as you can. Depression ennobles because it gives you hand in hand experience and a clear view of what life is actually and truly made of, and helps you understand others’ trials in their many varieties. You will suffer, but you seem to have a great attitude, so keep your head level, not even up, like 35% of the time, not even all the time, and you’ll be fine. Cool deck!!
I am not sure if this would help but I went into some form of depression and anxiety a long while back. I felt the reason my intensity at the time was so severe is because I was portraying a character I had in my mind and I felt like I am alone and trying too hard to push through. It only took me to realize that I don't need to try hard or anything but be the best version of me for myself. Cut short to present I have people around me that I cherish and cherishes me but I still like a few days to myself every now and then. No matter the thick or thin I am me and I rather be myself with all the flaws and strength than someone else whom I don't know of every time I look into a mirror.
you look good on stream and i am hoping you are doing good. also hope you have a support circle but if not I can be a friend talk and help in any way possible. take care. my favorite mill card is whiscash

Ayoo this is a very pleasant surprise! Didn't expect you back so soon💪🏽😃🤘🏽
I just had the worse anxiety attack of my life and sat down in bed to watch something to chill.
Just wanted to give a hello, you're not alone.
Glad you're back!

I was just watching wugtrio mill decks! Watched your last video yesterday! In my experience I have a hard time getting the energies when I need them.
What is the Manaphy supposed to counter? How do you combat dragapult?
@vipcesh Radiant Greninja and Greninja ex. Can't counter everything though. Maybe try Rabsca instead, but that's a whole other Evo line.
Hey pat good stuff man back at it glad your feeling better
❤ it's okay to feel bad. sometimes life is just like that.
Can you do an updated one with shrouded fables pls? TY
🙏
