Wot's honesty is second to none, he is and always will be a hero. Also I love that funny face he pulls at the end, made me smile in an emotional way that I can't explain with words.
It's like climbing a mountain to get to happiness; it takes strength and time; and jumping off a cliff is depression; you plummet effortlessly downwards, and no.matter what, there is no stopping it. I'm a 17 year old girl. I've suffered from depression for approx. 2 years now. I know how this feels. I know the pain. You are my inspiration! I could never talk about my condition. I aspire to be like you! You are an amazing person, and yes, I know you wont believe it, but you are! Keep breathing
I've had to deal with similar problems before in life, but not nearly to the extent of yours my friend... The thing that's always gotten me through hard times is the saying "It'll all come out in the wash." No matter what problems stand in your way, they will always work out eventual. Nothing is ever truly impossible. You're a problem solver, an achiever, and you've accomplished so much more than someone like myself has. There's nothing that can stop you! Just remember that, and keep strong.
All I want to do is give you a hug, even if that would make you massively uncomfortable. I just want to see you smile, because you of all people with all the hard work you do, deserve to have a wonderful life.
Much love mate. You can do it. Thinking positive and taking 1 step at a time is the biggest thing. Remember, when you're in active depression, the organ you're using to do the thinking, worrying and stressing is what is broken. You need others to help you and tools to help yourself. You can do it. You're a really good person and deserve to feel better and be happy. It will happen
Baby steps Wot, don't try to fix everything at once because it will stress you unnecessarily. Fix thing one at a time and the little victories will boost your mood
Wot you are a inspiration. Several of the things you need to change will come together easier then you know. Start exercising and your overall health will improve, possibly even the hair and especially the confidence. You are a great man and I know dan and other people on your life care about you and will help you through everything. Stay strong friend
Please take 1 thing at a time. Dont change absolutely everything in one go, that will make you over stressed. You had me on the verge of tears 4 times and 1 time I half-cried if that makes sense. This whole vlog just made me want to give you the biggest hug in the world. Im no expert on drugs, but ask a doctor and Im pretty sure they will tell you that the drugs won't mess with your creative mind. I like how even how depressed you are, you still make a vlog informing us of what you've been upto
You're going through a lot of change right now, which is always scary for anyone. When you have talked to the doctor and you have more facts, you will start to feel better able to cope with it all. Stay strong, there is an light at the end, even if you can't see it all of the time.
37:24 Wot, you don't have to be sorry. Coping with depression is a battle I'm sure quite a few of your fans have had to do as well, myself included. It's something that takes time to learn to deal with. There is still times where I have periods where I wonder where I'm going, in some ways, it's normal. I hope that you feel better soon and things aren't as bad as you think. You don't need to be a better person, you are a fantastic person as you are.
Theres always bad days, or bad weeks or bad years! You may feel like you're not worthy or your afraid.Thats all at a 5, but your STRENGTH is at a 8! Nobody looks at how much it takes to last through the pain. It takes a LOT! But we never see that. Don't focus on lasting the year or the month! Focus on today. Make today the yesterday you remember. Because once those today's are gone, Yesterdays a past, its a memory that founded today, take that today,make it the BEST day and then make a new today
Take each day as it comes, one problem at a time, you said so urself ur creative and problem solver. That list of stress will dwindle away... You may not win on every front but keep moving foward, you have your most dearest people around you. Of anyone can beat this, it's you and you will...
Wot, I really hope you pull through all of this, and I know you can. Dan will always be there for you and WE will always be there for you if things ever get too extreme. I sense that you're a strong person despite all of your troubles, and pretty much all of us respect you for that. On the topic of baldness, have you tried that regaine foam thing they advertise on T.V? Maybe that could help you.
don't be sorry for venting,if you feel like it helps just keep doing it and don't give up the fight or else all the previous fighting was in vain..just keep us posted Wot Greets from Belgium
I've been a girlfriend of someone who has fought depression, and it's not nice being the only "shoulder to cry on". I spent a long time listening and helping and ultimately it didn't work as well as you'd think (he left me as soon as he was "happy" again for another woman and left me much worse off). Having a girlfriend would be a good thing for Wot, but just make sure that you don't weigh too much on her - you could push her away far too easily if you rely just on her.
One step at a time. It seems that the stress of you thinking about all these things at once isn't good for you. Although I haven't experienced depression myself, I can empathize with you. Work on one thing, then move on to the next. If trying to make yourself a "better" person is putting you under strain, stop doing it. You're perfectly fine how you are.
You're still trying to squeeze out a smile, Wot, and if you want to try to improve your body without being stressed, try to make it fun in some way. Try to make Dan go to the gym with you or something, i'm sure he'll try to make things better for you. Keep happy, bud :)
I doubt my opinion would make any difference to your opinion, but I think you are a handsome man, Wot! Good luck at the doctors, I imagine you won't see this (if you ever see this!) until you have been. In which case, I hope it went well. In terms of drugs, if you take them and discover they are turning you into a robot, then you always have the option to stop. I wanted to give you the biggest cuddle when you started crying, and then you said you're sorry that we can't.. Just know we want to. x
Don't feel sorry about venting, I've never identified more with someone than I have with you, the fact that someone else is dealing with what I'm dealing with kinda gives me strength, or at least hope that I will have strength one day, if you ever need something, tell me, I'll do my best to help you, fuck knows you've helped me enough *hugs* Wot, we haven't seen anything yet and I await for what we will see with much excitement :D
I also think I look older than I am. I started using T-Shirts, which are more confortable, and show at least that I´m not so formal as it looks... Don´t know how it would work for you.
You're right, I do want to give you a hug. However, I'm content just to let you know that that particular desire exists. I'm not super into random physical contact with people I don't really know, so the virtual equivalent to a hug is all I can really do anyway. I'll see you at VidCon. I probably won't get up the courage to talk to you (or anybody else, for that matter), but I'll try to say hi.
Fuck me mate, you managed to go so deep in such a short time, and that makes commenting hard as there is so much to cover. It is really quite painful and beautiful to see you show yourself like this, I hope you can begin to feel like you want to soon. Oh, and for the record, I find you quite attractive =)
Crying is good, it releases stress hormones so that's good. I tweeted you a video on BMI because that scale is bullshit. And you wear what feels comfortable. You care about your appearance and that's good so anything you decide will be okay. Also, my dad went bald similarly when he was 19. Drugs just adjust some receptors in your brain, it's not magic, but it doesn't change you. Any questions you have, I'm here.This isn't the end, its the beginning. One step at a time. Goodluck @writersblock242
Boogie2988 said acting is the key. act happy, act confident. FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT ! There is some truth in it too. I've done it alot in the past. As for realising your own mortality Wot. No one knows for sure if they will be alive tomorrow do they. You need to get the most you can out of every day and no regrets. Time spent regretting the past is future wasted. (I figured that out in 2003 after about 5 years of constant depression)
So My friend is threatening to commit suicide(I know this isn't related, I just wanted to vent to anyone who might understand, and could help me) And after countless hours on the phone with his towns local PD, they said they couldn't help me. All I have is his name The name and address of his school and that's it. I'm at the end of my rope. So right now this is a cry for help. I'm currently in the fetal position crying, because I don't know what else to do. Someone, anyone, help me.
I decided to only comment on the points I might have something useful to say. Wearing suits is great and there's no reason you should stop on account of what you look like to others. People won't judge you by appearance. If they do, they're not worth knowing. As for your hair, have you considered a hair transplant?
I don't mean this in a bad way, but you need a girlfriend. It would give you someone other than us to talk to and it would be less depressing, stressful, etc.

I'll give you the biggest bear hug you've ever seen Wot and after we'll get some pie.

Wot.
Your suit/hat style is amazing and practical.
Utterly amazing.
I wish I had a suit. One that preferably is under the $1000 mark.

Also, you've gone from a Notch lookalike to a Wheezy Waiter lookalike when you take your hat off :P - you suit it!
Honest. Brave. Vulnerable. Hugs.
Wot, you're a truly wonderful guy. I promise you, you look absolutely fine just the way you are. All of us Fanarians love you!

Wot, Taking medicine will not make you think any differently, infact, more often than not it brings out more creativity.
You're still trying to squeeze out a smile, Wot, and if you want to try to improve your body without being stressed, try to make it fun in some way. Try to make Dan go to the gym with you or something, i'm sure he'll try to make things better for you. Keep happy, bud :)
