Never feel ashamed or afraid to talk. Break the stigma. Please see the NHS' website with links to every site for every mental health related illness/issue below: www.nhs.uk/con...
Its way harder as men do come out and say things like this. Females are immediately comforted and made to feel like they are accepted when they talk about mental health issues , but men are stigmatized and seen as weak or defective. No one talks about this but its completely true.
Just recently discovered your channel, Ellis, and stumbled on this. Good on you lad for putting yourself on Front Street, as we Americans say (front and center, putting yourself out there). I've contended with depression during various periods of my life and turned my challenges of the past into a career wherein I helped others cope with substance use and mental health issues. The best work I have ever done. That being said, my car was totaled last Nov. (Black Friday no less) when two deer struck my vehicle. I'm lucky to have survived the crash. They hit me broadside so I could have easily been killed or seriously injured if one had come through my driver's side window. The crash precipitated a vulnerability and deep depression. I lost weight, isolated and was very sad. I'm receiving help from therapy and short-term medication and I firmly believe things will get better. Sorry for the length of this but please let me conclude with the importance of self-kindness, which I have come to understand in recent years. The greater my capacity has grown to be kind to myself, the more likely and desirous I have been to be kind to others. Magic as you Brits say. All the best, be well and be kind, Ellis @awaydaysfootball. You deserve it and we all do!
Man I suffer from mental illness and this year has sucked however Ellis your videos have helped me and really enjoy them. Thanks for helping me and others get through a tough time and keep your head up.
Fantastic stuff, thanks for sharing. I'm currently in a 3 year hole, and I feel so lost. You've pretty much described me 100%, in terms of deppression. I really hope I climb out eventually , but to just hear you talk, made me feel a little less lost. Thanks so much. Love love love
Im in the same boat brother. The stress of work family life splitting up with gf took its toll depression. I was always the strong one mentally always the one can rely on but i guess over night it hit me. I still go to work pay the bills and sort others out but i am just wasting years of my life. Im not living just existing. Somedays i can't get out of bed and when your dealing with family problems when they are depressed or negative ways its hard. I refuse to take any pills but i am hoping to get myself together but of course it is easier said then done isn't it.
Very touching your video, keep doing what you doing, you are doing things thats a lots of people including myself can't do, be a youtuber isn't that easy , great video
Great Video, well done for speaking out and encouraging others to do the same, wish id seen this a couple of years ago, when I reached the real low point myself, happy to say I got help and am now in a much better place.
Thank you for sharing. As i've told you before, i've been there myself. One thing i learned was to never expect understanding or support from even your closest ones. Unless they've been there themselves. Anyway, You're a loveable person who deserves to feel good. On the topic of footballjerseys, my holy Graales are the dutch home longsleeve of 78, Sergio Goycocheas of Copa America 93 and Hungary's home one of Mexico 86. Even if they played like shit. Greetings from Björn (Bear) in Sweden.
Huge fan of your channel mate love the videos I have a passion for football shirts as well, seeing this video and hearing the things you say about yourself gives people like myself a lot more courage and a lot more self esteem. It’s okay not to be okay I hope this encourages more men to come out and speak keep it going Ellis mate 💪
Have enjoyed your videos for a long time. This was a powerful one. This will have been a hard video for you to make but it is to your credit that you did. I hope it helps those who need it and I look forward to the time you are able to get back to watching football and sharing that with us all.
Really great video Ellis. Discovered this channel very recently because of the football shirt content and I just wanted to say, with football on halt in the pandemic, your channel has really grown and the breadth of different content is really great. Top work in this video and in general mate
Cool vid , thanks for sharing your experience. I'm new to youtube and have been making vids about similar stuff, and it's cool to see what others are sharing. Thanks again!
Fair play and big respect for this video Ellis, it's nice seeing a guy talking honestly and openly about their mental health struggles, hopefully this gives other people, guys and girls the courage to speak out too. More men need to talk, their mental health is just as important, no mental health struggles or subjects should be taboo, not at all!
What a guy man, so much time for this lad. Ellis, you're a star - bright, articulate and genuinely funny - you're going places mate and you're a top lad for putting this vid out, well done.
Hi Ellis. My husband and I started watching your channel because we do sort of the same thing as you, but with Rugby Shirts! We enjoyed seeing you go around the charity shops,seeing what you can find and seeing if you can make a profit. I’m sorry to hear you’ve suffered with depression but am glad you’ve spoken about it and have managed to come out the other side. Your video will help many who are struggling too. We both think you’re a smashing young man and a great role model. Wishing you all the best. Gail and Roy (In New Zealand)
Powerful stuff, Ellis. Well done. Are you going to visit Dereham Town in the near future? The ultras are great entertainment- unless you're the visiting team's goalkeeper.
Very surprised to hear you were going through problems as I never noticed anything throughout that time on your videos. I was thinking that 2017 was around the time when Gibbs stopped going to all of the away days with you and you went to some by yourself. Fair play for coming out with this and keep doing what your doing 👍🏼
Fair play Ellis top man for speaking about your problems. I'm glad your in a better place now. For sure Jody is your saving grace one of the main reasons how you recovered. The support and encouragement i imagine she gave played a huge part. I say this because i don't think the NHS is that fit for purpose with dealing with all mental health illnesses. The first step the local doctors is not there expertise in this field. You might get a understanding one but all they will do is prescribe medication and give you a referral to a agency. This possible charity agency volunteers will have a long waiting list because is huge demand for it. When you finally get to the bottom of the list after months if your lucky or years down the line they start trying to offer you online therapy. When really you just want one to one sit down and someone to give you the answers to your issues. Going private will get you seen sooner but not everybody has the money of course. I hate it when celebrities people throw the same cliches at you just talk you are not alone. There might be websites etc out there but it isn't so simple to navigate or straight forward as it appears.
Paused at 3:33 my brother but can I just say this. Massive love for speaking out on this. You remind me so much of myself when I was your age honestly & I’m so glad there is somebody like you speaking on these topics. Peace always my man XX
Exactly me aged 17/18.. it seems that the kids of today get hit hard by reality when you see the world for what it is and things aren’t what you’ve always thought they were as a kid. Then you start to get your mental health back on track and start to enjoy the little things, like travelling the country on away days, enjoying a night in with your girlfriend. Glad you are out of your hole and trying to help others. Big respect for you
Ellis your videos are so entertaining and this video is something else, you’re an example to other men who need to come out about their mental health and seek help. I have been made fun of for my weight my whole life and I was finally going to the gym and changing and starting to look good and then corona came around so I can’t do much right now but for anyone reading this, you’ll make through it, feel free to reply if you want
have the same thing man as you. suffered from bulimia for the last 10 years of my life and it started at around 15. Have BDD and cant look in a mirror. I rate you for coming out and saying it as I know its difficult for young guys to do. The intimacy thing is part and parcel with BDD and disliking every part of your body. When you get bullied for you weight it rots your mind for you life and I can tell you that I went through one small period last year were I was in amazing shape and it kind of went away for abit but just temporarily. thanks for the video
Much respect. It's not easy. I've been there. I know I'll probably end up there again. It's not nice and it's too difficult to articulate what the problem is. I wish you well and hope you carry on. 🖒👍✌
Thank you buddy! You are not alone, it is hard but people like you who shares your problems makes people like me think that things will get better. I learnd alot from haze Outdoors on youtube, he talked alot about mens mental health, an absolutly amazing guy, just like you.
I used to go to this really bad school and I clearly got depression and social anxiety and some suicidal thoughts. But then I realised that I have a loving family and I just realised that it will get better and moved away from that school and I have a much happier life now.
Had so many of the feelings you’ve described in the first 2 years of Uni, (although mine was caused by really bad anxiety), from the leg muscles from staying in bed to being angry at my girlfriend for literally no reason. Mine stuck with me too, I came out with a 2:1 and turned my life around. Shits still hard overthinking tiny things every day but the lesson everyone going through mental health issues learns eventually is to open up, be productive, have goals and things to look forward to. You’re a fucking legend for posting this video Ellis. Big love man ❤️
You are so right, speak to someone. From the first day I spoke with my doctor and admitted I was suffering from depression, its got better every day. Tablets and CBT helped, and support of friends and family. Dont be ashamed, dont hide it away. A great video, seriously well done.
Great video. I feel like I go through similar, I will be fine one day and in a split second just hit a wall and everything will annoy me. My girlfriend will be trying to simply speak to me and I just feel like I don’t want to talk to anyone, it’s bizarre and you can’t explain it. Some days are okay but then in a second you can just feel meanless. I think I’m finally realising that keeping busy, whether that’s playing football, working etc helps get away from the bad feeling
Talking is the start. I have been there. My advice is find the right person to talk with. A note of caution about medication. Because mental services are under so much pressure Doctors can in my experience dish out medication far to quickly and these medications can do more harm than good in some cases. I would say get to see a clinical psychologist asap and try CBT first or other talking therapy. Good video Ellis.
I honestly had body dysmorphia and I totally understand but I actually don't have it any more. It's actually weird looking back at photos when I was really skinny and knowing at the time I thought I was really over weight. I hope you will accept your body in the future. Nice to see you talk about it, I wonder how many more men have experienced this.
I’ve never related to a UA-cam video more in my life. As someone who’s been battling insecurities my whole life, this video has really opened my eyes to a lot of things, thank you for being so brave and sharing your experiences x
Thanks for sharing this. Football is one of the best ways for me to be happy and clear my mind when I’m not in the right state of mind and your videos help.
As a massive man utd fan I started watching your videos because eof the shirts. But I saw this video and just had to watch. I suffer anxiety depression and suicide thoughts. But I found help from Mind and Andys Man Club. So should of you for showing this video and putting yourself out there to.help others
Being one of your old age fans i cannot really remember that the 70s and 80s were bad times. In fact they were great but the people back then were different. Thats the crux of the matter Ellis. You have grown up in times where things are more important than people. So, all i am saying is that you have done very well making this vid. Alot of people will appreciate this. Dave in Berlin
Well done for making this video. I don't have mental health issues but your video would have helped thousands of people who experience it. Earned a new sub bro👊❤
Ellis you using this platform and being so open and so honest about your struggles is incredible. So many young men are suffering in silence and for them To see someone they look up to, you, come forward and be frank will give them hope. It’s time that we end the stigma and start talking.
A year later but when man is helped or finds his courage just to talk is the time your truly ready to break down the demons in one’s head as it’s your voice that’s in control not the twisted thoughts so please just talk
Absolute respect for you posting this Ellis. Thanks for sharing, it’s certainly resonated with me & many others who have struggled with our mental health. Keep doing what you’re doing, because it’s fantastic 💪🏼✌🏼
I have bad intrusive thoughts and anxiety about health even though I know everything is fine. It’s tough it got triggered because of the pandemic. Ur videos make me happy bro it lets me get lost in like idk a fun culture 😊
You’re awesome, Ellis. As someone who’s been on a journey like you and on the other side of it now (not that it’s the end of a journey of mental health), it’s good to share your experiences and tests for others to grow through. You’re loved mate! Never met but you’re loved. Keep it up and you’re doing amazing stuff! Thank you
Matthew Matthew yeah man all good, like Ellis said, speak to people, they’re happy to help if they can, and having people around me who cared for me helped too
I’m 19 but I can proudly say I’ve beaten depression and anxiety twice at two different ages. For anyone out there struggling, it’ll be alright in the end. It’s okay not to be okay. Well done Ellis, thank you for using your platform to raise awareness and help others x
You’ve got an old head on young shoulders mate. Very brave for you to share something so publicly and you will help so many people. Credit to you pal. Marching on together 💛💙
This resonates so true with my experiences. I refuse to acknowledge and criticism, positive or negative. I keep trying to look for help as I know I'm in a bad space but I've got to the point where I feel like a hindrance on society. I cant tell my friends or family as I'm afraid that I will be seen as less of a person. Watching these sort of videos and seeing that people can get through it and that gives me a glimmer of hope that maybe, just maybe I can do the same. I just need to figure out a place to start. You are an inspiration to a lot of people and for that I cant thank you enough. Keep being you as that is the light some of us have in a difficult space. I reiterate this as its really important. THANK YOU
Yo Ellis if the universe didn't need you, you wouldn't be here ☮️💚I wish you positive loving healing energy to get you through this journey of life brother !
Props to you for coming out to talk about your story, these times have not helped people with mental health issues and everyone in general but all you need to know is that it all gets better ❤️
rate you for posting this, gives other the courage to come out and talk
Thank you!
Its hard as a man to come out like you have today and talk, well done mate seriously proud of you more men need to talk.
Its way harder as men do come out and say things like this. Females are immediately comforted and made to feel like they are accepted when they talk about mental health issues , but men are stigmatized and seen as weak or defective. No one talks about this but its completely true.
Thanks mate!
Excellent video Ellis - putting out a very positive message - much respect
Thank you, for your honesty and candor.
You are such a lovely lad!!!!! Well done 👏🏻
Thanks for this🙌🏼
Thanks for sharing this bro x
Thank you for doing this
This great
Help is out there just take that step

So well said Ellis. I’m so glad you’re feeling better. Unfortunately for me it’s been almost 6 years but I’ll keep trying however long it takes!
Thanks for this video, Ellis. All the best from a football shirt lover in Romania. Stay safe.
Man I suffer from mental illness and this year has sucked however Ellis your videos have helped me and really enjoy them. Thanks for helping me and others get through a tough time and keep your head up.
Fantastic stuff, thanks for sharing.
I'm currently in a 3 year hole, and I feel so lost.
You've pretty much described me 100%, in terms of deppression.
I really hope I climb out eventually , but to just hear you talk, made me feel a little less lost.

@@xXSRFCxHOOPSXx What stopped you?
Best of luck Lee, we all have your back ❤️
Keep it going lads. We all have a significance and purpose. Sometimes it's hard to realise that but we do.
Very touching your video, keep doing what you doing, you are doing things thats a lots of people including myself can't do, be a youtuber isn't that easy , great video
Well done, your videos are good. Be proud of yourself.

Well done Ellis. God has blessed you. God is blessing you. And He will heal you completely if you allow Him too.
This vid hits home I needed to watch this
Let's get this guy to 100,000 subs. He is so awesome and really, really deserves it.
Amazing video Ellis. Hope your courage can help others. You have my total respect. And... CAMPEÕES! 🐉🐲

Fair play Ellis❤
Full respect to you 🙌
As someone with chronic mild depression psychotherapy and spirituality helps a lot. It’s hard but it’s a long process.
Ellis your videos are so entertaining and this video is something else, you’re an example to other men who need to come out about their mental health and seek help.

Why are people disliking this 🤦♂️ great vid Ellis
Thank you buddy! You are not alone, it is hard but people like you who shares your problems makes people like me think that things will get better. I learnd alot from haze Outdoors on youtube, he talked alot about mens mental health, an absolutly amazing guy, just like you.
Stay strong Ellis mental health is becoming more common no need to be embarrassed for sharing your struggles very brave of you keep up the good work
Big respect for doing this video and I didn't realise about your struggles. I'm pleased that you are in a better place now
As someone going through a tough time, takes courage coming out, respect
Thank you. It will 100% get better, I promise you.
AwayDays I don’t think I’ve ever related to a video as much as this
Massive respect for doing this mate your are incredible and a huge inspiration to all of us keep it up
I used to go to this really bad school and I clearly got depression and social anxiety and some suicidal thoughts. But then I realised that I have a loving family and I just realised that it will get better and moved away from that school and I have a much happier life now.

Oh, and kudos to your better half, who had made you totally better! Seems like a keeper.

Nobody is perfect but when your confidence is knocked you criticise yourself more. Life is hard have to stay away from negative influences.
Thanks for sharing this. Football is one of the best ways for me to be happy and clear my mind when I’m not in the right state of mind and your videos help.
As your mum never shamed you at all you’ve made me look bad you were brought up in loving family your child hood was perfect
As a massive man utd fan I started watching your videos because eof the shirts. But I saw this video and just had to watch. I suffer anxiety depression and suicide thoughts.

Mate read this book called ‘the secret’. Helped me massively🙌🏼
You’re awesome, Ellis. As someone who’s been on a journey like you and on the other side of it now (not that it’s the end of a journey of mental health), it’s good to share your experiences and tests for others to grow through.

Ellis your not alone out there remember that its ok not to be ok you are a amazing youtube star loving the vlogs
I’m sure you’re not first to suffer, myself included, fair play mate, it’s okay not to be okay! #breakthestigma
Are you better now? What helped you?
Matthew Matthew yeah man all good, like Ellis said, speak to people, they’re happy to help if they can, and having people around me who cared for me helped too
@@ThomasHughes94 Speaking is always the first step
I’m 19 but I can proudly say I’ve beaten depression and anxiety twice at two different ages. For anyone out there struggling, it’ll be alright in the end. It’s okay not to be okay. Well done Ellis, thank you for using your platform to raise awareness and help others x
Well done for beating it twice that’s pretty amazing! I still can’t seem to beat it once! Take care x
You’ve got an old head on young shoulders mate. Very brave for you to share something so publicly and you will help so many people. Credit to you pal. Marching on together 💛💙
Huge well done for being so open and honest mate! Takes a lot of courage!
Very impressive young man. Taking time out, when you’re v busy and successful, to help others. Says a lot about you and Jodie. Big Respect Ellis.
This resonates so true with my experiences. I refuse to acknowledge and criticism, positive or negative. I keep trying to look for help as I know I'm in a bad space but I've got to the point where I feel like a hindrance on society. I cant tell my friends or family as I'm afraid that I will be seen as less of a person. Watching these sort of videos and seeing that people can get through it and that gives me a glimmer of hope that maybe, just maybe I can do the same. I just need to figure out a place to start.
You are an inspiration to a lot of people and for that I cant thank you enough. Keep being you as that is the light some of us have in a difficult space. I reiterate this as its really important. THANK YOU
Yo Ellis if the universe didn't need you, you wouldn't be here ☮️💚I wish you positive loving healing energy to get you through this journey of life brother !
Well done lad seriously, opening up about our own mental health is hard enough. Full credit to you for making this video, have a nice day!!
Mad respect for this Ellis, certainly helped me out
:)
This is the wholesomeness I need
Big up love massive respect to you bro
Props to you for coming out to talk about your story, these times have not helped people with mental health issues and everyone in general but all you need to know is that it all gets better ❤️
respect
