    Tough video to make for various reasons - hope you'll sit and listen, hope it's valuable in some way for some. I'm in a much better place since that stream, not perfect, but hey, that's fine.
    You guys seriously have meant a lot over the years, truly truly have - lot's of things I didn't mention, not because they aren't important or never mattered, it's just not the right time - maybe I'll never talk about other stuff, that's fine too.
    Mental health is important - take care of yourselves.
    Lot's of help out there, should you need it. Don't be a stranger, talk to someone.

    Dude, been there, done that. Thanks for sharing. What I learned from my anxiety and depression experiences, is that we all need to really listen to our body, our feelings, and accept we can't do everything. Our brain needs breaks as much as our muscles. Also, our minds are really complex, thoughts are not something you can control, neither feelings, neither body sensations. So the basic tips are silly but they work: just take more time for yourself, meditate, exercise, eat better, sleep well, feel grateful for other people, for yourself, and have fun always. And don't be afraid to ask for help!!

      @@craigydcraig I can only speak for myself, but I’ve had major stressors in multiple aspects of life this year, causing panic attacks. It was new to me, I had never really experienced anything beyond social anxiety before that. I’ve tried most herbal supplements and valerian is the best. Haven’t had a panic attack since. Capsule form is the only form I’ve tried. The bottle will most likely recommend 2,000mg, which works great most of the time. If I’m extra anxious I’ll take a little more. I usually take it about every 5 hours, you can tell when it’s wearing off. Also 1 capsule of ashwaganda in the morning. Lithium orotate is also a natural supplement for depression, I usually take 5mg in the morning and 5mg at night.

    Hey Broken,
    I’ve been watching your streams for a few years and just saw this and man I can relate on so many levels because I have severe anxiety and depression as well and have fought it for years.
    I just went through a rough time with a girl(second time with this one) who I trusted and helped in every way I could but in the end she manipulated me and threw me out of her life. I got so upset when I found out the details that I had a major meltdown at the bar 5 days ago and had to play a show there the next night..
    As someone who also lives in his head, I had a bad feeling about her and I should’ve trusted my gut and friends. But I tried to see the good in someone and got burned.
    I let this person influence me in negative ways for the past year and it’s affected my school, employment, drive and passion, on top of derailing me from the progress I’ve made on myself by going to therapy and being a healthier human.
    It’s been very hard for me to bounce back but watching your vids helps me escape.
    I’m thankful for this video, thanks buddy 🦃

    @joshwilson4168 5 років тому +7

    ❤️❤️Thank you for this. Seriously thank you. I was diagnosed with rapid cycling (type 1) bipolar disorder when I was 26 and crushing anxiety and depression controlled my life. I admitted myself several times to hospitals because I knew I was no longer in control. I had to ask for help time and time again.
    I didn’t know at the time that there is no reason to be ashamed for asking or needing help. I had over 12 years of psychotherapy before I was diagnosed because I was ashamed of my mind. It wasn’t until I broke down and looked at my life objectively and assertively to find what was happening. I had to be brutally honest with myself without demonizing myself. Only then could I begin the healing process.
    I cannot recommend psychotherapy enough. It has saved my life more times than I care to think about. Mental health is a continuous maintenance issue. I still have rapid cycling bipolar disorder and that will never change but getting a handle on my anxiety and depression changed my outlook and perspective on day to day life. It shifted my reality from worries and fears to hope and understanding.
    Information is key to understanding so I highly encourage you to speak with others that use medical cannabis for anxiety and depression. Depression is often a vail over the eyes that makes us believe we are seeing things clearly for the first time when in fact it is nothing but a distortion of the truth.
    Take care of yourself FIRST. That’s one of the hardest lessons I’ve had to learn. There’s been days when your videos have distracted me from myself and doing something I’d truly regret. Again, thank you for opening up about your struggles with mental health. I’m happy you’re in a better place now. If there’s anything I can do to help keep it that way, do not hesitate to ask. Love you man, and there’s not a damn thing you can do about it.

    Honestly I can fully appreciate where you coming from it's the most hardest thing to make yourself so vulnerable but like you said you have to get to that point to get to the better side of it . I suffer a lot of health issues that have left me with many surgeries and more to come so depression and anxiety are a massive part of my life. Stay strong and carry on being the absolute legend you are

    Yea, very late to this. It suddenly appeared in my suggestions. That said.. classy, VERY Classy. Honest, open and truthful. A rare trait in a lot of individuals these days. I feel your pain BM.. took me until I was 42 l, after just having ripped apart and destroyed my life, marriage and all, due to what I felt, did not understand, which was depression, anxiety, ADD, huge social anxiety. Had no idea the damage I caused myself and others. Been there, felt all as you described (not negative, but triggering) and took me a good 4+ years of Therapy and self care, love, etc - to get back to who I was, I had no idea. Thank you SO much for all your courage, work and just bleeding truth. It hurt me to hear you speak as you did, cause I get it, but for someone who does not know you, I'm VERY Proud of your professional actions in addressing and handling the situation. We all love you, your streams. Killer contributor, humble and to me, and all round good dude. As everyone said, we all got ya'.. Appreciate you and everything you do for everyone else.

    Your streams and videos: "can you see that cheeky devil?" "Not today!" "That's how we do it." Always felt like you know IM watching, you were talking directly to me and there was nobody else watching, that's what always made your videos and streams feel so personal and I really appreciate your ability to give that. I hope to carry on accompanying you through many battles to come both digitally and personally. Really hope you find some inner peace and you can carry on doing what you love and are obviously very good at. Thanks again big un. 👊🎮

    As someone who‘s struggling with anxiety and depressions as well I gotta say: Thank you for that video and thank you for talking so honest about this. It may help others to gain the strength to talk about it as well.
    Keep on fighting. There will always be brighter and darker times, but there‘s also always something to live for. And there are always people that love and care about you. Life is precious. Never give up.

    I'm a late arrival to your youtube channel. I only started playing BF1 a year ago, and I'm really poor at it, but I love the game. The frenetic madness of it, the atmosphere, and the sheer playability. Then I found your channel. I frequently just laugh out loud at how easy you make it look, and your wicked sense of humour. I couldn't hit subscribe quick enough.
    Then I saw this. You're an inspiration man. You have my utmost respect to openly comment on your own experience with mental health. There's still such a taboo about discussing it that there just isn't for physical health. Breaking down this needless barrier is the good fight. Keep at it my friend.
    I sincerely wish you health, happiness and success.

    Breakups suck man. Ive come to realize that everything happens for a reason and anytime I think I have complete control, thats usually when I have zero control. And the times when everything fell apart before my eyes, they were the hardest for me because I felt like the entire world was sitting on my chest. Luckily I found some very good friends who got me to start coming around and it built my confidence. I hope your sucesses have built your c9nfidence as well. I know Im not the only one, but your channel is the one I find myself coming back to the most.
    Mad respect brother, people like us are the strongest of the bunch. Keep what you love close to your heart, and flood your head with good memories.

    I feel you bro. You're hard on yourself for not keeping it all together while facing so many things. You're human. And perhaps the lesson here is also to open up to the people around you sooner instead of letting it grow inside you until you burst.
    Dude, I don't have the words for the respect I have for a man that has the courage to open up the way you did and are doing right here in this video. You're a legend. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Honestly one of the first things that started to help me were your streams with bf1. I'd stopped working, I'd couldn't go out to see friends or go out with my now ex girlfriend or see family. But your streams were a safe place for me and I cant thankyou enough for giving me that retreat. I feel that I've turned a corner and I feel like my life finally getting back in track. So thankyou for being you and doing what you do man and also for opening up like this its gotta be so tough man but these stories are what help others keep going so honestly well done and thankyou.

    This resonates with me so much Broken. I've suffered with anxiety and depression since I was a kid, the past few years have seen it manifest in a tick disorder and pretty intense agoraphobia. Like you, uni saw me. Go down a fucking dark path to self-harm and suicidal thoughts. This has been one of my toughest years too, but we're still here fighting! I had a few similar emotional meltdowns at work from trying to fight off panic attacks etc. So much fucking respect for you sharing this man, well done for recognising your victories, I think that's key to moving forward. We're all with you TBM 💙💙💙💙

    It's a mutual thing, the community loves and helps you and you do the same.
    The important thing though is to find the right balance, to take care of what you love, find things to free your mind (like the photography you love) and your job.
    Life will punch you, it always does, we're here for you and thanks to you.

The hundreds of thousands of hours of entertainment you have provided to all are immensely appreciated, however that is not what makes you valuable. This vid did not hit my stream until today and while you are in a better place now I must say out loud that your ability to connect with the masses and your humility are something I am jealous of, and that is what keeps me coming back. Keep up the amazing work, however please take a break when you need. We will still be here.

    I have been battling the same things you have been for the past couple years as well. My dad died when I was 14 and it really shattered my life. Left me with depression, anxiety and social anxiety but now I am learning to cope with it. It has cost me friends, my high school diploma late and a shitty relationship with my family. I really hope more ppl talk about mental health because it’s huge and ppl can’t get through it alone.

I can tell already why you've got over 600 comments on such a recent video, because people care about genuine people like yourself.

But you have a great personality and are so good at what you do. Anxiety is a serious problem, and one of the best things you can do to get rid off the burden is talking to friends and family about it, opening up like you did on stream. Having trusted people help you through it. It’s not really easy, but once you do it, you’re gonna be very happy. We’re always here for you man

    Facing it is the best step in conquering it. Like all anxieties, you have to face it head on. Also, doing physical workout really works when you feel too anxious for any reason, try it and you will find out yourself. You are a really honest person, and that is rare believe me. Keep on doing what you love and love what you have and you will be fine.

    I am right there with you sir!! I deal with social anxiety as well. I know that making this video had to be hard for you but I applaud you for it. Like you said...being able to put yourself out there, be vulnerable...that's huge. And damn right man...you're a beast...you've made those hard decisions, you've taken chances and that takes real strength. Your namesake "The Broken Machine" I don't know if that was directly related to your struggles with Anxiety or feeling "broken" maybe it was just an odd coincidence. Takes on a bit of different meaning to me today after watching your video. We're all "Broken Machines" in various ways and there's no shame in knowing and accepting that. Hats off to putting yourself first and I'm happy to know you're in a better place. Take care.
