Is it just me, or is this guy one of the purest of hearts. I don't know him personally but I really get the sensation that he is just a very kind man. And the older he gets, the more loving and kind he will become. I just wish we could all be more like him.
I agree completely.
I feel like he's the Mr. Rogers of our time.
I definitely agree. He seems like an amazing guy.
He is living like Jesus or the Buddha would've wanted all of us too. We should up look up to this man, the essence of masculinity is compassion and protection of those in need.
@Weedgy Apex im so sorry hearing about that, hope you will find someone like you
This gives me hope that there will be someone who will accept, understand, and love me regardless of my mental health problems. Thank you.
There will be!
Remember - women get with who they want; men get with who they can.
@@ShredHeadJHJ well, with that attitude..
god bless you can have you get the man you need and want
Of course there will be
Her whole vibe changed when the dog got up on her lap. What a huge blessing animals are for us humans. 💜
They are truly our saving grace. If only we could care for them physically, as well as they care for us. I just don't feel we have a handle on the best (yet most economical nutrition) for them, or ways to keep them as healthy as we could. Everyone should be able to experience the daily, healing love of a pet, but we don't always make it easy. I'll think on that.
@@sherryd.3425 I agree, I also wish there were better food options for our beloved pets! I'm always thinking those pellets can't be very good for them, even the "best" made ones.
@@eternal_nomad I don't know where you live but in the US you can buy refrigerated, less processed food for them.
Dogs & cats know when we're sad, that's the beautiful part of it. They know and want to make sure we're okay. They are pure love, like angels in different forms.
That is why I got m daughter, age 14, who seems to struggle with much of this, last year. It's helping.
Can we just give a shoutout to the people that raised this amazing man👏
Unfortunately not, we don't know who they are.
@@Stonktradomus They know who they are. If they see this, all the better!
Too true! What a fabulous guy :)
If you died TODAY, where would you be spending eternity? Have all your sins been forgiven or are you still hoping that you're a good enough person to earn a spot in heaven.
The reality is that no one can earn a spot, our sin disqualifies us. But the God news is that Jesus paid for our qualification by dying on our behalf taking the punishment that we deserved.
JESUS said, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His one and only Son; that WHOEVER believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." - John 3:16
Nothing is more important than your eternal destination. Please, don't say, "When I get older I'll get right with God' or 'I'll get serious with Jesus one day when I'm ready.'
Don't wait any longer, today is the day of salvation. Get right with God today, for tomorrow very well might be too late.
We invite you to REPENT and accept that Jesus Christ is Lord of your life by praying this simple prayer out loud right now...
'Heavenly Father, I turn away from my old life and repent for my sins. I believe that Jesus came for me, that Jesus died for me and that Jesus rose again for me so that I can be forgiven and receive eternal life. I believe in my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus Christ is the Lord of my life from this day. Through Him and in His Name, receive the gift of eternal life. I ask you to fill me with the Holy Spirit and lead me for the rest of my life. In Jesus name - Amen.

WORD
This is one of the saddest and sweetest videos you’ve done.
Goes to show love is real.
You’re genuine
It's eye opening.
Love is just a chemical process.
@@GgByAngelthen life is just a chemical process
@@winstonmcfinston What? Why?
@@winstonmcfinston How what's Chris like or Done ? Xxx
I started crying as soon as she did. It’s so hard. My mind is such a contradictory place. The best and the worst.
I send you love, Alyssa.
I have those diagnoses and more. Just saying this so you can Know, that I understand. How ….wild… your mind is.
@@ScotsyCajn Hi Lydia! I'm a Lydia too, so like to say hi to my "sisters", never met a Lydia I didn't like. Also your comment really resonated with me, and what my daughter seems to be dealing with. I want to help her and often I feel helpless.

People who seek diagnosis' are victims and weak-minded and would prefer a crutch/wheelchair/sympathy rather than be able to walk with a slight limp. It blows me away how people like this don't realize that this mental illness nonsense is a first world phenomenon and the rest of the world / the rest of life doesn't just play a fiddle for themselves when things are tough. It's only a luxury afforded to those who have an extremely easy life and need to create drama and excuses.
@@Mr.Sr.Jr. for me, it's about change.
Learning to accept what's going on in and around me so I can stay alive.
Walk with a limp? Ha! I've spent my life (since age 3) crawling the muddy battlefield with my sword still up as best I can. A slight limp is what my horse had... I ditched it years ago.
Her pause when he asked her how she felt when she thinks nobody likes her… I felt that, girl. To not be able to open your mouth because you won’t be able to hold it together. ❤️
You said it.
And to just not have the words to describe the pain…
Red: you have the most beautiful eyes!
She immediately got so sad. It was hard to watch.
Me to i struggle with feelings of worthlessness and sorrow
Alyssa mentions many traits that are associated with autism. High intelligence with big challenges. I relate to not liking eye contact! Has she had an autism evaluation? I had multiple diagnosis… that still didn’t help me. A very intelligent doctor decided to test me for autism… and BINGO.
ADHD, anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, depression… and then - autism was the overarching thing that had been missed. Good luck to you both!
Oui!!! J'ai pensé exactement la même chose!! Je ne serai pas étonnée que son problème initial soit l'autisme! Ça expliquerai vraiment l'ensemble de ses problèmes. La dépression, le tdah, le trouble anxieux généralisé et les tocs sont très souvent des comorbidités de l'autisme!
I was just writing a long comment to say this, but deleted it out of fear of being misinterpreted.
Through watching this whole video, I am almost completely convinced that she has a mild form of autism. The signs are so subtle, and she is very intelligent and high functioning, so I understand why it could have been missed.
This was the case with my cousin, who got diagnosed at 30. His life has changed profoundly for the better after finding out, so I want to spread awareness ❤
It’s definitely possible to have both, but often PTSD, especially CPTSD, can present nearly identical to autism
What month of year were your born in?
Being born in late winter or spring is the worst for autism
@@SimonGerber-fg8efwhy? Could you explain?
I hope my daughter meets someone like Chris. They are both loving and are so caring
Any parent would love to have someone like him in life of their daughter
May your daughter meet Chris one day!🤗
I think he’s taken….
The juxtaposition of bouncing back and forth between how she sees herself versus how Chris sees her was a great filming choice. Greatly depicts the emotional battles many families go through.
I have tricotillomania, I thank you for opening up about living with mental health problems, I struggle a lot and watching this made me cry, I feel like I’m a nothing
thank you for speaking up, i'm on the same page too. it feels nice to have someone who's struggling with the same yhing
You are everything 💜❤💜 you are worthy of love and belonging. You are enough. This Mama sends you unconditional love and hugs 🌷. Thank you. 🌷
Please seek support and find other people like the ones who commented to you here already. You are special in that your struggles enable you to identify and empathize with others who are stuggling, so you can -- now or later -- offer people who need it authentic, sincere support.
she is so smart. when she said that you have a responsibility to love yourself so that you can better love and support others. the best piece of advice i've honestly ever heard in my life. i love the two of them together
As someone diagnosed with CPTSD , ADHD, OCD, Major depression, generalized anxiety disorder, and a slew of other acronyms, hearing Alyssa's experience and seeing her express herself in such a raw manner was really powerful. Having all these labels can feel incredibly isolating, shameful and intimidating. Self doubt is a mighty foe, and it makes you think you're alone, unloved and undeserving. Alyssa's story is sooo validating, and it was a relief hearing that someone out there understands. It was super brave of her to come on here, there are so many more of us out here experiencing the same struggles and we often don't realize that. Thank you Alyssa, for sharing your story, and being so vulnerable. 💛
I super proud of u bcuz u get 2 make the choice I wish u the best
Literally crying for 45min straight lol. God, imagine having someone love you that much? Despite the hard times, the struggles, they still being there.
I wish you two the best, SBSK is definitely one of my fav channels.
Why are you crying though ?
@@RamKumar-yi6wn idk empathy?
@@stars19735 fragility isn't empathy
Thank you for making this video, my partner and I each go through our share of mental health struggles, Autism, ADHD, OCD, Anxiety, and Depression, some shared some not. This just gives a wonderful perspective on how important it is to communicate and ask for help during low times, especially when both partners are in a low time, it's so crucial to have a network of friends and family who will support you as well. Really needed this today as we both had a pretty rough day yesterday. We have also been together 5, almost 6 years now, and having someone who listens and understands me so well has been so healing, but challenging in some ways since we're so similar.
Epitome of True Love. I cried through the whole thing. They are an incredibly beautiful couple.
I've gotten teary a few times.
I am 64 and for the first time in my life listening to her I realized there was actually someone who was going through exactly what I did.
I am so proud of have far you have came. Thank you for sharing with us. 💕
I'm 64 also. I've had very bad anxiety all of my life and had a nervous breakdown 1.5 years ago. Now on meds.
I think she is my twin actually. wow
Wow. What amazing people.
Thank you so much for this video. I deal with ADHD, OCD, CPTSD and recently learned that I am on the autism spectrum, ASD. It is hard sometimes to be your own advocate, feels sort of ironic, but it has taught me what self compassion is and I am learning how to honor my feelings and needs. I have learned how to be a better friend to myself and be comfortable setting the boundaries that are helpful to me.
Namaste!❤😊
We are the same! Loving and respecting ourselves and asking for help when we need it most changes our life. Not easy but worth the effort.
This Boyfriend is truly an amazing soul. So accepting of her and others. Omg when he got choked up I could not keep from shedding a tear. He is wonderful.
I will be sharing this with my best friend of nearly 40 years. She has been diagnosed with a few mental health disorders, ADHD, OCD, depression, anxiety & Bi-Polar. I have talked her down from many panic attacks & attempts of suicide.
I can tell you are a match made in Heaven. You complement each other so well. I wish the very best for you both. 🙏❤️
Can we acknowledge that Chris nor anyone else is "pure golden retiever so of COURSE he is by her side listening" like he also needs love support, he also has weak moments, as a partner he will also feel stressed because he sees someone he loves hurting like that. Its importantto see that, he's able to be who he is not just because of a naturally good disposition but because he probably worked so hard and learned so much, to be a good support as a partner. I strive to be like him although I admit I have a long way to go. But seeing how hard he works encourages me
I feel like for the first time I have seen this man not have his full smile in a video I can see that strong emotion for his partner. Which is beautiful.
If only more people in the world were as genuine and accepting as he is
I was just about to type the same.. if only 5% of the people were like this guy, the world would look a whole lot different. Tears in my eyes rly.
He's way to Accepting. That's really cool
There are guys like this nowadays, but there are people who sadly neglect/deny them because girls would want something different then complain guys are shi8
BUT it goes vice versa of course.
Ikr? It would be a better place
She has so much courage to make this video despite her anxiety!! So brave and kind. ❤️❤️❤️
As someone who has ptsd this gives me hope! My mom literally poured kettle water on my head making me believe it was hot. Pray I meet someone like you. ❤️
I had ptsd too❤️Jesus is healing me and I know He loves everyone so much and I know He wants to heal you too!
Haha just picturing the both of you being silly and dancing in the house sounds like such a wonderful way to enjoy life with someone you love and you guys figured out how to live freely and it's just such a great thing to witness and experience myself. I'm feel very bestowed upon by your carefree approach to life and it shows in your smiles and your genuine characters. I truly love what you both have done with your time and I just wanna add that I have crippling depression that keeps me isolated at home alone but I'm reminded through Chris' own heroic character that I can push on and be free. Thanks 🙏
I see myself in her. I've absolutely loved these videos as long as I've been distracting myself with UA-cam, lol. I so appreciate this more personal perspective, and love the love between you both. Sometimes it's hard to love ourselves but this channel has done a damn good job of helping people feel connected and in touch with one another. Thank you 😊
I think a lot of women can relate to her
You guys are both so beautiful inside-out and I’m so happy that you found yourselves ❤️ Can’t wait for you to remake this video in 10/20 years and see how you evolved together !
Who could ever leave you? You are so fun, truthful, loving and caring. Your struggles are our struggles. You are awesome.
Thank you for both of you for sharing your experiences! I'm also someone who has struggled and is still struggling with anxiety and depression. And my husband is my rock and unwavering support. He's the best thing that has happened to me and although when I met him I already had started my healing process and therapy, his unwavering love has allowed me to grow in ways that I never could have imagined.
The fact I feel safe with him has allowed me to become conscious of so much trauma that I had previously been suppressing. And I sense this in Alyssa and Chris too. We can not process our trauma until we are in safe space and after that point it just starts pouring out. But it's so good to get it out and process it. My whole life makes so much more sense now.
I hope you both are doing well today too ❤ and thank you for doing the work you do!
Ps. For the partners of us sensitive beings, please keep telling us you love us as often as you can. It might me hard for us to accept at first but we will belive it eventually.
I cried to Chris positivity. He's so precious. The way he answered my baby, it's just so pure.
What a lovely young lady. She just broke my heart when she teared up. I wish I could give her a big hug!
I'm a single father of 5 boys. I know what it's like to watch someone you care about struggle. It hurts a lot. You have to let it flow through you everyday to manage it. Stay goofy. Sometimes, we have to smile not to cry. Humor is the best medicine.
Thank you Alyssa and Chris for showing yourselves so authentically. Seeing you and your journey has given me inspiration and hope.
I have never related so deeply to another persons experience with the loss of control and the feeling “so much”. Thank you for being so honest and open.
I absolutely adore you two! I have anxiety, OCD and dermatophagia and my husband of over 20 years is my rock. The way Chris loves you is the way my hubby loves me. I pray everyone finds that one person they can count on and know they are deeply loved!
Such a brave move to expose yourself to the world. Videos like this help so many people relate and bring their own experiences to the surface. Understanding that every one of us is on the spectrum for something is okay. The most difficult person to live with is yourself. Getting help to understand who you are and how to deal with issues you kept secret is the greatest gift one can give to themself. The saddest part of mental illness is it's a luxury to get professional help. Mental illness cannot be uncovered in 4-5 sessions spaced one month apart.
As a person with several diagnoses myself, this made em cry.
It’s really astonishing that Alyssa and Chris, who already share so much of themselves through their work, were willing to record this. The amount of hurt and pain she expressed at times is simply heart breaking.
This is a great interview! My name is Alyssa and my life partner’s name is Jason too. We’ve been together the same amount of years too. Thank you for sharing your love and story it’s truly enlightening, encouraging, and empowering others!
Wow, Alyssa articulated how I feel sometimes. It’s nice to know I am not the only one who has thoughts like that. This interview is my favorite so far. I don’t think you realize how many people you are going to help by talking about your struggles. Kutoes to you both for talking about these issues.
I'm currently being assessed for autism (female, late 30s) and i recognise myself an awful lot in you Alyssa. It might be worth looking into this, i'm super anxious and paranoid and shutting down completely at times. It's really difficult to deal with these problems, i'm so glad for you that you got Chris, i'm alone and it's really hard to deal with the intrusive thoughts at times. Take good care of yourself, i hope you'll have more good than bad days x
I am 68 years old and honestly didn't realize until seeing this video that some of the struggles I have had most of my life were legitimate mental health issues. I thought most of it was being an introvert or too lazy to engage. My very positive and loving husband of 34 years has kept me together I think. I haven't ever wanted to physically harm myself but I have greatly sabatoged myself with an emotional (over) eating disorder. If I can resolve my depression, control issues and anxiety maybe that will turn around too. Thank you so much for this very honest and revealing video.
I am so glad I found this video! I have learned about my problems, through you, Alyssa! I’m 62 and live alone. I’ve seen multiple doctors and didn’t learn as much as I have, just listening to you! Thank you!
Hi. It is possible to live alone normal life with all these problems? Thanks
I think the support and love is incredible. I am in a broken marriage where there is no support and it makes the struggle worse. This video provides so much hope.
I came across this on my tv tonight and it’s hard to put how it’s made me feel in words. You are both such a bright light in this world!!!
She has such a beautiful spirit and self. Despite her struggles, you can see how soft and kind her heart is. Chris is so blessed to have her, and her him. The struggles are real, but the hearts are far stronger than any struggle they will face.
Much love to you both.
This man is a true blessing on this world. He radiates pure light.
I love her and I love their relationship. It’s wonderful. She seems so sweet and lovely and warm, and he is so supportive and wonderful and kind. They are proof that you can live normally and find love and live a life worth living, despite what your brain tries to say. They very much give me hope for my future.
Sending so much love to her. I am diagnosed with 5 mental illnesses too and I respect how much he cares for her.
I don’t think I have ever seen a human being radiate kindness and love as you do. You are the kind of inspiration and role model the media should be focusing on. Both of you are amazing and I wish you the best.
As someone who also has 5 (or I guess 6) diagnosed mental conditions this is insanely relatable. I'm so glad you two have each other.
Here's wishing you are coping well! Sending hugs and love
This is just one of the best videos ever. I hope this can show people what a truly loving and supportive relationship looks like
I love that you guys are doing this together (the whole scope of what you do) and that you are putting yourself out there in such a vulnerable way. Thank you
I was surprised to hear that Chris would not want to get rid of Alyssa's diagnosies... Yes, she is perfect and he loves her the way she is, of course! But to her life's sake (until he met her), I expected him to say yes, with the explanation for her to feel more happy, have less struggles in life, in terms of being able to enjoy a depression free life... Yet still loving her!
Thank you Alyssa for your courage to share your struggles - you are encouraging and may God bless you and keep you.
they are inspiring
People that have these are lovable they need alot of love and theapy they need to be around positive people and counseling helps faith god bless these people
I feel so related to Alyssa and everything she feels. I’m in my own process now, with psychological and psychiatric treatment and therapy. For me one of the most difficult things has been to get a proper diagnosis and get people to believe in what you feel. Even finding a proper professional, someone who can actually understand and help you could be very challenging. I’ve been told so many times that is all about “mindset and be optimistic”. I’m so tired of hearing that kind of advice, sometimes it just makes it worse. Thank you for raising awareness.
This man is the golden retriever of humans 🐶
Their love is beautiful ❤️ I share a lot of the same issues and I can attest that great partnerships like this exist and my partner and I make a great team 💪🏻💪🏻
Alyssa is beautiful and I love the honesty. I have depression and anxiety. I feel every word she says. These are a daily struggle. So glad she has found someone that loves her for who she is and doesn't try to change her.
Being single can be a challenge, because i don’t talk out loud, about myself. So I don’t hear what is going on in my head. Knowing friends and family wanting to “ be there” for me is difficult. Alyssa said it well- I don’t want to suck the energy out of the room, put ‘that’ on someone else. Not talking is isolating, just as much as talking- fearing that the listener is ‘sorry they asked’.
You two are really together! I was watching it, nodding my head because I have very similar issues. Selective mutism was diagnosed when I was 7, which just morfed into severe social anxiety. I've had depression since at least middle school, which was made worse by my father's death 30 years ago. The depression is a bit treatment resistant.
I'm pretty exhausted.
I also have trich ocd anxiety and depression. Its a complicated mix of emotions and its such a challenge to get through each day. sending love to both of yall thank you for making this platform
Whenever i feel unworthy of love because my mental issues, I come back to this video ❤ it feels reassuring ❤
I can't imagine having all those diagnoses and having someone loving and caring for you..... I have harmed myself, have suicidal thoughts almost daily. And im in an abusive marriage. So happy for her that she has someone who cares❣️
Can you find a way out of the relationship and get yourself safe? You can do this!
Your love for each other is unconditional and beautiful.
Gosh, I hope you read the comments everyone leaves. I just wanted to thank you so much for this video and of a different girl who struggled with anxiety and was wearing the "Introverted But Willing To Talk About Plants" shirt. I wish my husband was as supportive. I think he just wants to fix the situation but that doesn't help.
I've always watched this channel in passing but lately I've fallen in love with it. What this channel is doing is absolutely marvelous and gives me hope.
I have ALL the same AND Bipolar disorder as my cherry on top.
I teared up with you as you described what it was like. Currently in that road block with my partner: for ANYONE who’s been in a similar situation (because she’s trying to fix my mental health problems but.. there’s no fixing them.) how or when did you or your partner realize there is “no fixing” only daily improvements. And not always
Alyssa, thank you! I struggle with debilitating anxiety. Some days it's hard to even get out of bed. I'm 50 years old and I am still learning how to live with myself. I didn't face up to some serious trauma from my childhood. I tried to bury it with drugs and alcohol as a teenager, then spent 13 years sober and seeking medical help and then I combined both for another 12 years. I have been sober for 5 years again, and I combine medical and mental health services now. I participate in 12 step programs and do service work to get out of myself. Your sharing is both encouraging and inspiring. It gives me hope, that I may be able to maintain a relationship with a partner, someday. Thank you!!
i have ADHD, anxiety, OCD and IED, i feel like no one gets to know me enough to like me. i hope one day someone understands me and loves me like you with Alyssa!
As someone who has similar diagnoses, Autism, Adhd, severe generalized anxiety disorder, and depression, I can confirm that even on medication our brains NEVER shut up. A million negative thoughts are running around our minds 24/7 so if you know someone with similar mental health issues and they come off as lazy or appear to be unenthusiastic or uninterested most of the time, please just be patient because it takes us the same amount of energy to brush our teeth as it does for you to go about your whole day.
oh my gosh hun , i also have multiple mental health diagnoses. persistant depressive disorder, panic disorder, OCD, post traumatic stress disorder, borderline personality disorder..... never give up alyssa im here for you
Wow! This makes what I already admired so much about this channel even more amazing and I didn’t think it would get even more amazing. My goodness. God Bless you both.
His eyes are beautiful. This relationship is beautiful.
I feel that this was a very heartfelt and sincere conversation between you, Chris, and Alyssa. I have been following SBSK and enjoy the empathy that is always shown, as on this episode. It makes me feel less odd with my own problems with anxiety and depression.
You two, and all of youre hard work give me so much hope.
"Love is effortless!" It took me a long time to learn this but it's so true.
I watched this video and it really hit me hard hearing alyssa talking about anxiety because it could be me saying word for word what my anxiety looks like and jt is just so hard and exausting. BUT i also have a BF that speaks nice things to me like chris does so this gave me so much joy seeing this almost mirror relationship
It gives me hope that i will overcome my anxiety and that my BF really really likes me, independent of what my anxiety tells me
There are few channels that give REAL insight into their inspiration. I think even fewer, that offer this level of person honesty. You are both beautiful people. My wife and I look up to you both. Thanks a bunch!
Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing with us. 🥰🥰🥰
This video was such a blessing to me. Thank you both for your willingness to be so vulnerable to share these hardest and personal and sweetest things all at the same time!
Very helpful share.. I struggle with some of these emotions myself and I'm 65 yrs. old. Great relationship these two have!
oof as someone who has 3 of these disorders , this interview hit me. She talked about her mental health so beautifully.
When Chris asked: "When the people watching this turn off their tv or phone and go about their day what do you want them to remember?"
All that came to me was the quote from Cinderella: "Have courage, and be kind."
Lovely!
He looks at her with such love and adoration 😊
Ребята, огромное вам спасибо! Я испытываю большую благодарность за вашу силу, за вашу искренность, за вашу любовь друг к другу. Будьте счастливы многие, многие годы!
You’re both so beautiful, may God bless you abundantly with peace and joy
You guys truly deserve each other and bring everything in a balance, like you guys are made for each other. Both really beautiful inside and out. ❤❤❤
This really hits home for me, I have similar mental health diagnoses. I wasn’t diagnosed until my 30s because I couldn’t afford treatment regularly. Until I hit rock bottom after a big life change of added responsibilities. My rock bottom was being in another abusive relationship, having my mental health ticks used against me. I had to start understanding why I kept getting into these relationships, why I was unable to see red flags earlier. I had to realize I had been thru a lifetime of trauma. I finally got into regular therapy years ago. The healing process was being able to put into words what I had been experiencing within myself and my internal and external experiences. If I didn’t hit rock bottom I may never have realized my true potential to start healing.
This was great. My husband is sleeping in his chair and I have a Bob Hope movie on in the background so I turned on the sub titles, and even given THAT, it’s incredibly easy to see the love between the two of you! When your girlfriend teared up I felt very “connected” to her, but when you did TOO, that was IT…I felt like I actually somehow “knew” the two of you (that’s not normal for me). For what it’s worth, I’m 67 and my husband and I have been married for 46yrs, and I KNOW that the two of you are the absolute REAL THING! ❤️
My prayer for you both is for the very best that life has to offer…you’ve already got the MOST important thing!!
I wished there were more men like him. My struggles with my mental health has led me to accept some of the worst treatment from men or run potential suitors off because of the fear and mistrust I have developed due to the decades of abuse and trauma I have endured. She is a lucky woman. She is obviously extremely intelligent and beautiful. Likewise, he is a very lucky man to have found someone he absolutely adores.
Not sure why, but I just now found this video. I don’t think I’ve ever been so affected by a video like this. Listening to the two of you talking, getting totally serious and emotional, and seeing and hearing the love between you has been inspiring. I’m an old lady, so most of my life has already been lived. My hope for you two is that when you’re my age, you’ll still be looking at each other with the love you showed today. Thank you!
This hit home. You guys are doing a great job!
Intrusive thoughts can be detrimental to a person. Just take it one thought at a time. I’ve overcome 30 plus years of constant intrusive thoughts, major depression, and suicidal ideation.. there is light at the end of the tunnel… it can go away, leaving ur mind, heart and soul at peace and quiet, keep faith, stay positive, don’t fight it, but don’t accept that it is you, one day you will have full control of ur mind, especially if u keep your heart pure. 🙏🏽💙
You two are probably the one sweetest couples I’ve ever came across on YT.

...wow, this videos are mind opening. Thank you.
I have MDD, GAD, OCD, ASD(originally Aspergers), ADHD, and cPTSD and I have a partner that's like Chris. He's literally the most understanding and sweetest person I've ever met in my entire life. I also have severe chronic illnesses (EDS and a million comorbidies) on top of all that and I don't know what I'd do without my partner.
I know this video is 3 years old and this comment most likely wont be seen by anyone, but this video is so incredible. I relate to Alyssa greatly. I also deal with anxiety and depression and it has been so hard on my relationship because despite most times being goofy, fun, and incredible, I overthink everything. The mental gymnastics my mind does just to toruture myself is insane and, as she said, tiring. So exhausting. Thank you two for this channel and dedicating yourselves to helping people understand others that are different. Thank you both endelessly for all you do and for being so vulnerable in this video.
THANK YOU for creating and sharing this beautifully bittersweet and transparent piece of validation. Your story means so much. (I listened to this three times back to back. 🧡❤️🩹🧡)
-Much love from this 43yo wife and Momma with all of the same diagnoses - and then some… 🫶🏻
PS- our furry rescue pooch, Pepper, says “Heweooooo!” 😄
keep making the world a more beautiful place you two!
