- Hi Guys, it’s been a while. I wanted to come back with this video to open up about what I’ve been dealing with for the last 10 years and why I chose to stop taking my anti-depressants after being misdiagnosed by so many psychiatrists since I was 17. I hope this video helps someone out there. Please share your story in the comments below, thank you for watch and for supporting me, you are not alone, I love you. xoxo Daniel

love you guys, thank you for being here and supporting ❤️
We love you back 💕💕💕
We love u Daniel. Every of your suscriber will always be here with u. 💖
I suffer with severe anxiety and depression also, its hard and painful I'm having a anxiety flare up, so I can relate I also am bipolar with autism.. Love your channel.
Love you Daniel, thank you be being so open about a topic that so many of us can't even begin to talk about ❤️
We love you! Have a lovely day!
Keep up the amazing work, you are the definition of perfect! (In my eyes)
Perfect Preda. We all have our struggles in life, some worse then others, but if you ever need us, we are here for you, it is always good to go and visit somone and just talk.
Have a lovely day everyone!
Please don’t ever say ‘I’m sorry I’m going to be emotional’. Please, be emotional. We are here for you
My exact same thoughts
I used to say that too
Word!
For everyone: Taking medication does not mean you failed. Sometimes you just need some help in order to show you how the therapy is supposed to work. It took a lot of years for me to realize this myself.
THIS IS SO IMPORTANT!
So many people have this mentality and it’s so damaging. It is perfectly okay to need medication, especially if it is helpful. ❤️
I take fluoxetine for my OCD and anxiety, I’ve suffered with depression and ptsd and when I was 18 I kept way too much to myself whilst suffering from loss and life changes... now I have such a different look on life and try and be as open as possible so people can be like oh! I didn’t know that about you and you wear it on your sleeve and can see that it’s nothing to be afraid or ashamed of! Being on medication doesn’t bother me in the slightest, I’m not ashamed that right now I need some help to get back on track and everybody should try and have the best outlook on life that you possibly can, we only get one embrace it entirely, flaws and all! Stay strong Daniel and thanks for sharing as people need to see that it’s okay!
Ofcourse in a perfect world no one should ever have to be on medication for anything, but sometimes thats the only option to make it trough. I really wish i could be able to afford other therapies and treatments, but until then, i still have bills to pay, responsibilities, and unless i take my own life i cant just shut down. So then, medication is sometimes needed just to keep staying alive
I feel numb, not happy and not super depressed. Don't wanna die but don't wanna live. Just kinda wanna sleep
Same here.. but we need to do something to find JOY inside of us ❤️💫⭐️
as someone who’s been taking steps toward therapy and recovery, i feel pretty much the same as you. and i believe that’s called suicidal ideation, but don’t quote me on that i’m not a doctor. just wanna let you know you aren’t alone, and most days tend to just be about the bare minimum survival, and that’s completely okay too. stay strong
Honey that is depression. Its a spectrum!! Get help and talk to someone! All the best!
Me too. always remember it will get better.
Me too
Daniel I want to say thank you for talking about depression, because I have suffered from depression and severe anxiety since I was young. I just wanted to say that I think you are a great person and I wish you well. I love you Daniel ❤️
So many people do and it’s sad that this isn’t a topic talked about in society today. I also think it does stem from being misdiagnosed and also medications. I had my first son 11 years ago and I almost died. The drs have hyped me up on some of the worst pain medications and I have struggled but got off 3 of the 5 of them. Daniel thank you for speaking about this. Can you maybe talk about how it was being in a relationship with these issues?
Let it out honey. I know exactly what your feeling. As a Sicilian we were taught not to show emotions. Now after 40 years of holding back I let loose and go in the bathroom to cry. I have horrible anxiety. I definitely feel you.
I been depressed for so long . I don’t even remember what not being depressed feels like.
Sending love and a big hug
I’ve been there... I am there. I lost my Son 12 years ago when he was 16 and have been pretty much numb ever since. After finally reaching breaking point last year I got help and changed my meds. Now I am in a new home ready for a new start and slowly building my life back up. We will both get there... So much love for you Daniel ❤️ xx
Sending prayers / positive vibes your way...can’t even imagine the struggle and heartbreak. 💔
Sending love to you ❤️
So sorry to hear this ❤️ sending love
Sending all the love and best wishes 💗🙏
Thank you all so much ❤️ xx
"it's not selfish to put yourself first" I really needed to hear this. I have been feeling like stretched so thin, and don't focus on me more than others. I also have depression and anxiety/panic and have been considering that my medication isn't entirely right. I feel like you said - foggy headed and zombie most days. Watching this is giving me motivation to talk to my doctor again and try to gather my energy to fight to actually feel happy again. I can't remember the last time I felt that way, like deep down inside truly. This took courage for you to share, you're seen and heard, it is HARD to be vulnerable. But you're showing us it's okay.
People always say to put your children first, but many times, I say the opposite. If you're unhappy, many times your children will be unhappy. Children really feel and notice these types of things! The happier and healthier you are, the better off your children will be. Taking time for yourself when you have kids should be high on your list. I was very unhealthy at one point, mentally and physically, and I slept a lot. Once I took the time to take care of my self and felt better, I was able to do more with my son. He actually told me, he liked the new me, because we did more together.
*Love you! Honestly, more people can relate to this, depression, anxiety, etc. than you may even realize. Thank you for speaking out.* 💕
This ^^
Getting our emotions back after working through trauma is SUCH a wonderful, beautiful thing.
I was 50 before I realized that my lack of focus and progress was depression.... and my adult child informed me of the anxiety I have always had. And yes, a chaotic childhood can be the underlying cause. I had a family of 11 people, and I felt emotionally alone. I have never been medicated or had therapy, but now that I understand, I have been able to be more focused and less sad. All this to say, yep. I get it. it gets better.
As someone who suffers from HORRIBLE social anxiety and who’s had depression very badly in the past. It may sound silly to talk about enjoying the sun and birds and feeling that happy feeling in that environment, but DAMN it really does make you feel amazing. Especially meditating or stretching out in the sun. Definitely recommend it❤️
Thank you so much for being open about your depression, medication and seeking therapy. I relate so much to struggling with being guarded and not sharing your feelings with your friends and being there for everyone but yourself. I was described as a "rescuer" by my therapist, always trying to save others and be there for others which leads to not knowing yourself and feeling alone. You deserve happiness. Life is short. You're such an incredible man, talented, funny, compassionate and honest x
I’m Korean and I’m suffering from depression my parents don’t believe in mental illness especially on their kids they expected me to be a normal woman successful woman but inside I’m hurting so much
That must be horrible. I'm so sorry that you have to deal with that! I'm sending hugs your way!
you are strong and brave and you matter!
♥️ (from another Korean woman)
I'm sorry you're feeling badly. Hugs to you. 💛
@@Fred2303 thank you
@@ralphiesmommy thank you
“I had become a person, that i didn’t like” yeap, that’s exactly how i feel. And it’s been 3 years now, i’m just so proud of you that you can even talk about it cuz i haven’t open up to anyone, i wish you well friend
It's important to understand that this is a serious issue. With social media I feel like depression and anxiety are always joked about and over saturated now, but it's not a joke and effects people's lives for years. You're so brave Daniel and we all love you
Daniel i dont know how you feel but i do know that its hard i am getting tested for autism i am 12 years old and i have thought acted and been so much different than everyone else and i always thought that something was wrong with me i never thought that i would potentially have autism and it was very hard for me to act like a normal kid when i was not the only people that i felt like they weren't judging me and i felt like they understood me are youtubers you and joey have changed my life you both have shown me that its ok to not be ok, its ok to think differently and for that thank you, thank you so much i would have never been so happy about the things that im happy about now if it wasn't for youtube and the creators in it i was even able to start my own youtube channel, i have had youtube for 4 years now and i have never felt so happy and safe and loved than i do with you joey and many other people on youtube, you and joey have impacted me the most and i love you both so much and i hope that one day i will get to meet both of you i love you and i am so happy that you are feeling better. Once again i love you and i will see you in your next video and hopefully in real life one day to❤❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My son is almost 22 and has Asperger's. He is doing great and has a job, he is a senior in College and has an amazing job and lots of friends. Hang in there buddy.
That's so awesome that you're getting tested, good luck to you! Being different is great, remember that.
My grandma was German. She said tears were weakness and a woman should never let anyone see her cry. 😒 When I did she would tell me to shut up and go away. Being 5 sucked...it was hard to comfort people until recently.
I’m so glad that you’re able to put this out to the world. It definitely made me feel less alone and normalises it a whole lot more.
Very proud of you for making this video. Many of us struggle silently and feel so alone and it is so damn important to speak out and get help. I am excited for you to be able to move forward and live the life you want.
I’ve struggled with depression and anxiety for two decades and only recently started therapy. It already has changed how I view the world! I hope the stigma goes away soon, and thank you for being part of helping with that! It’s hard to be so vulnerable.
Glad you are feeling better Sasha... I too have suffered with anxiety and some depression since my mid 20s .... I have improved a lot but it wasn't easy ❤️
Ive had anxiety since early teen years (im now 16, id say its been 2-3 years) and last year I had extremely bad depression, I was totally numb and stuff... I went to therapy, it hasnt helped me personally, which absolutely sucks, but its so good to hear other people getting on with it, its inspiring 💜
@@lily.9280 oh honey, I’m so sorry you’ve gone through that. Please, send me a private message if you ever want to talk.
Daniel, I am 67 and have been treated for depression and anxiety for many years so I totally understand. All of my family has passed away and almost all of my friends have passed so I don't have anyone. My husband is a very non-compassionate man so I just deal with it. I have found that having a dog helps alot. Know that we love you and will help you.
Look at how many people are here being positive for you. I know life can feel lonely, but I see a lot of love, and support for you. I wish I could just give you a big hug. Stay strong, brother
I’m 51 and I’ve been suffering from CPTSD, anxiety and depression for more than half my life. My family still has trouble accepting it. It’s tough. Thanks for your openness. It’s tough for us all, especially with the current problems. We need to help each other stay strong. Check in with people. R U OK
I'm having to resign from my job due to my mental health. I've spent many years pushing off my mental health, but the pandemic has really ripped those scars back open. I at least recently adopted a dog and she is a shining light in my world of darkness.
Dogs are wonderful and can help us heal , companion animals are important for our mental health.
I also quit because of the same situation. I still miss my coworkers but it was the best for me ✨ Bravo for us!
Just because mental health issues can't be seen on an xray or through a blood test, does not make them any less debilitating or frightening. They can and often are, a lifetime battle in the search for feeling "normal". And watching a loved one suffer is almost as bad as suffering through it yourself. Years of trying different meds, therapies, strategies, to no avail can certainly weaken the human spirit. Thanks for speaking up about this.
This is how I feel, every single day, I'm always angry and I don't want to be like that anymore.
I'm so glad you've posted this video. I know I don't know you, but I've always worried about you cos as someone who has suffered badly with depression for over 30 years, I could see how much you were struggling. You have taken a huge scary, but brilliant step, and you will make many more to a happier life. Sending you much love xx
so proud of you for speaking about this, you’re going to help so many people feel heard and understood
I have SO enjoyed watching your journey as a single person. I feel like I never got a good idea of “you” as a person in the past, and have really found comfort in a lot of your more recent videos. You are so easy to relate to and I appreciate you talking about real issues like these. I haven’t watched this whole vid yet (just came out 2 minutes ago) but I’m wishing you all the best! Thank you for your openness!
I so very much agree with you!
Same :)
I agree! He’s so real now. I love it
Daniel thank you for being such an amazing influence for me who is someone with depression and seeing someone else who is so successful in their life battle with this I just hope that you will get through this time
I'm dealing with depression and anxiety too, and I'm struggling with work. They're really unsupportive to the point of bullying me and I don't know what to do or who to speak to. I wish I could hug you right now.
That sounds horrible..I hope you can talk to someone (maybe your boss or someone above you) just don’t stay silent. Advocate for yourself ❤️
Big hugs and good luck ❤️
A year ago I finally talked to my doctor about anxiety and depression. I would have never done that before I found you and Joey online. I am not on medication for anxiety and I feel 1000% better and more like myself. I have been happier in the last year than I’ve had before. 2 years ago I was at the lowest and almost didn’t live through it. I didn’t want to continue loving. But I found you online and found myself drawn to you and others and have found some great friends. It’s because of you that I’m still here so this video means a lot to me. Thank you for opening up about this topic, you are definitely a positive in my life! ❤️ love you,
I have been so worried about you, you are such a beautiful person and most of my family have anxiety and depression and had a feeling you were going thru a bout of depression. Know that you are loved on your bad days as well as your good ones. I know that you know that but sometimes it’s still good to hear ❤️❤️
Daniel we all love you and thank you for sharing❤️
I'm so sorry Daniel I so wish I could give u a big hug💗 I'm 5 years self harm free. It started at 13 and that's how I coped from the abuse I was getting at home. Thank u so so much for sharing this I know it must have been very hard for u. Praying for u I feel soo alone too I'm 42yrs old no children no hubby and that's so hard to accept. I cry every night I'm so lonely. I'm so happy u advocated for ur self and are finally practicing real self love. I Love u and pls keep sharing u helped me so much w what I'm feeling inside today. Love to see ur big smile again🥰🥰🥰
Sending you love from Germany Daniel! I can relate to your pain, just know that it's only going to make you stronger!!!
Thank you for being so open and honest with us, I’m so grateful that you’re here ❤️
Thank you so much for being so brave and so honest. So happy to see you are doing better 💕 such an inspiration
Sending you nothing but ❤️! I know how hard the struggle is and how it's a never ending battle. I hope you know that we're here for you through good, bad, highs and lows.
I feel like i'm gonna cry while watching your video. I understand u of the description. I just, I want everybody to take your time. You look good and cute. I want you to take your time Daniel. When you post something, we'll be always here. I mean, it's ok if you're not ok. I understand u. You're strong Daniel. I'm sending lots of love for u. Love u and stay safe. 💖
so proud of you & so excited for what is to come for you
Thank you for this video Daniel 💚 You’re so brave for opening up like this, it’s appreciated to be able to relate to someone so much, especially when you consider them (you) a role model! You’re killing it 💛
I'm so glad that you're on a path to a better place 💚 Thank you for having the courage to speak of your struggles - I can relate, and I wish I had a video like this when my anxiety and depression were at their worst
Thank you Daniel! I dont suffer from depression myself, but I know my cousin does quite badly and this really opened up my eyes on what it must feel like for her. I think she also pushes people away and its been really hard trying to help her but now I understand why 💕
We love and care for you Daniel!! You are loved!! I will pray for you
I love you Daniel. Thank you for being you and I am so happy you're still here with us ❤️
This video has helped me so much. I cried but I feel a little better! I been really going through it so thank you for reminding me to put myself first. I needed this reminder! I'm glad I found you through joey. I'm greatful for that! I look forward to every video and all that you have coming in the future! 🙌
Sendings lots of warmth and love and well wishes xxx
Love you Daniel! Thank you for having the courage to do this! You are so strong! I am so glad you are still here with us! You are never alone
putting yourself out there and being open is so brave and authentic of you, thank you for sharing your personal struggles. you're a beautiful person inside and out
I was diagnosed later in life with PTSD and Borderline Personality disorder. Self harm and attempted suicide was very much a part of life. I now am on the correct medication, have an excellent therapist and a safety plan. I also was a great actress when I needed to be. Thank you for opening up about mental health.
We are so lucky to have you in our life Daniel , your presence brought me joy, laughs and beauty....I know it doesn’t help a lot but you reach me with your beautiful souls....sending love and positive energy....💗
You’ve been on my mind so much the past couple days
yesss daniel so proud of you and how far you've come!
Thank you for opening up to us. My aunt has depression because her husband died a year ago. He had a brain tumor that they couldn't get out because of the placement. Remember that you have a loving supportive community and we will always be there for you, be your true self and you will be truly happy. ❤ Love you!
I relate so much to your internalization about pain. Love you Daniel, hang in there.
Thank you Daniel ❤️ Sending you all of my love for the strength you have shared with us. I literally cried with you as I relate so much to your pain. It is so hard to hear but this is so meaningful to know healing is out there.
Thank you for being you 💛💛💛 and opening up to us.
I am so sorry you went through this! My husband battles moderate depression and anxiety. The way you described the way your medication made you feel is very much how he's describes it. It's scary sometimes. I am hoping he can get his medication changed.
I am thankful you shared your story and feel better ❤
I did too
I've had depression and anxiety for 25 years and if people can't accept you for you, they need a life. Gentle hugs and love Daniel. You are a wonderful person. I hope opening up and talking about it helps you.
VERY PROUD OF U,DANIEL!!!💗💗 WE LOVE U
♥️ glad you’re here
This is so relatable it hurts. I have depression and anxiety. Finding the right medicine was life-changing for me. I didn't truly even know how miserable I was until I found the right medicine and dosage.
I'm not depressed and I don't have anxieties, but I am here for YOU. Just be YOU. You'll always have my support. Love watching your videos and sharing in your lifes experiences. Be YOU. We love YOU.
Daniel we love you! I have been dealing with depression and anxiety and ptsd for most of my life. It's not an easy road to travel, but you are strong and you are brave for sharing your story. We can overcome this. You are not alone.
WE LOVE YOU DANIEL!
I haven't watched it fully but ♡ You are amazing and aaahhhh we love you
I have Anxiety and panick attack 10 years fuck off stigma💞✨
You are brave, stay strong 💞🦋
Thank you 💞
We love you Daniel and are so happy you’re still here ♥️♥️♥️
I'm so happy for you, and I want to let you know that this video really helped me with what I'm going through, I needed this.. You are worth all the love and happiness in this world, sending you my love ❤️
Dear sweet brave Daniel, As soon as I finished watching your whole video, I stopped and prayed for you. I also prayed for anyone going through depression. I have struggled my whole life with depression, and numerous medications. I'm the friend and family member that makes everyone laugh, so when I get depressed people shy away from me.....and I shy away from them. This last year, I have gotten better about reaching out to the right friends and family members who encourage me. Much love and respect from Texas. Love you very much. ❤️
You said let's talk... all I can say is I've never felt so lost. I'm 32 mom of 3. & I'm lost. ptsd, anxiety, depression, agoraphobia & panic disorder. Somedays its so hard to see the light. 💔
I'm so glad you feel like you can feel things again. Your being here is a huge blessing. Thank you for taking care of yourself so that you can see the world with fresh eyes and emotions. All light and love to you on your journey.
Love you Daniël. Thank you for opening up. As I have battled depression myself I can relate to the struggle. Keep strong, sending you love ❤
I’m so sorry Daniel😭
Sis that’s the wrong emoji to use that don’t mean sad that’s means something else-😀
huh?
@@bun8670 It actually does mean crying/sad but the internet made it to something else.
We're coming from the same country and I understand perfectly what you're talking about. I have a similar father who always pushed me to extremes. He really broke me :/
im so happy your here. i love you Daniel
I'm so sorry boo! Thanks for sharing your story. You deserve wonderful people to surround yourself with!
How do you deal with your anxiety? Mine just started to get really bad for the past 2 years and it keeps me from getting a job. And I just feel scared all the time
I'm not crying, you're crying😭
Love you Daniel!!! Always stay strong!!! We love you!!! 😊
Daniel, you are so generous to share this with the world. Your words could help many other people who may be in a dark place. Depression can be so powerful and all-consuming. I'm so glad you are doing well! You've always been perfect just the way you are, and you are always enough. Sending you much love and peace 🖤
first
firs time being first LOL
Thank you for being open and talking about this with us ❤
Thank you Daniel for making this video. It's such an important subject and every honest video made about mental health makes it little less taboo. As someone whose been through severe depression, seeing videos like this make me feel better somehow, like I'm not alone. So thank you. 💜
Mental health is so important and you sharing is only making the world a better place.
Sooo glad you’re becoming a happier you! The best is yet to come. Thank you for sharing! ❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing your experience. Sometimes you don't even realize how deep you have gone in the rabbit hole till you are really far down. I'm so glad you had people who could help you get to a happy place. I'm still striving every day and I won't give up! You are strong, loved, and wonderful!
Thank you Daniel for sharing all of this with us. It's so important to address mental health. My heart goes out to you, I relate to so much. I've had chronic depression almost my entire life. You're a wonderful & amazing person. Sending you so much love ❤
I'll always be here to listen. Your never alone in these thing. Love you Daniel ❤
I want to applaud you, Daniel, for being so forthright. I, myself, have not ever suffered from depression but the care and sincerity of your message still has an impact on me. I feel that when someone who is/has been struggling with an issue such as depression shares their truth it goes a long way to help others. Thank you for being a good friend to your fans by really being who you are; it does make me feel truly connected to you and your journey.
This is so relatable. I’m crying just thinking about how you were able to describe ways that I had felt in the past few years. A therapist and a psychiatrist also helped me so much. It’s important to destigmatize mental health 🥰
Love you soooooo much!!! I’m so happy to see you back and on track!!! I’m glad you got the help you needed to find your health and happiness!! Can’t wait to see what the future holds for you!!! 🥰
Thank you for being vulnerable, thank you for putting yourself first, thank you for sharing. It is grueling to pull yourself up from that lowest low. I'm so happy you are still here. 🖤
I am so happy you are doing better!!❤️ I am excited to see what you do next!!
I love you Daniel, thank you for being your authentic self and talking about relatable things! You got this 💕
I appreciate you being so open and raw. I relate a lot, and seeing someone my age and someone so successful, with very similar issues is .. well.. it’s not nice not to see because I wish it on no one.. but.. Thankyou 💕💕
Thank you. I"m only 2 minutes into the video and I already feel so much relief & gratitude for your vulnerability & honesty. It's meaningful for so many.
You're a beautiful person Daniel inside and out . I'm glad you're still here.
