- Due to some of the negative feedback these videos get, for this ONE video, I'm turning off comments. I really don't think it would be constructive to do otherwise. Sorry about that.
in this video I talk about my weight loss success and fails over the past 4 years that I've been 'trying'. I hope this gets you caught up on whats what and helps you understand the situation. maybe it will even help make you have more success in your life.

Thanks Dan bull for leaving that comment I've seen your
pewdiepie song video your a cool singer man.
lkmoneyboy Always!!!!
Dan Bull dollgbiii xDDD love you Dan
you inspire me to become healthier
Edit: because people always seem to be confused, I mean that hearing him talk about his struggle with acceptance and self love and self esteem, and knowing that I am going through that everyday, he jnspres me to be better and do better for myself.
kimberley williams that’s kind of rude
JD04 Boogies trying to help inspire people so I don’t see how it’s rude
JD04 you're to sensitive
kimberley williams was also in his
I read you inspire me to become hitler
"I do everything I fucking can...every single day..."
As a fellow survivor, man that is exactly how we all feel inside.
I carry my service dog (Captain America) with me E.V.E.R.Y.W.H.E.R.E. To the movies, to the grocery store, to the endless doctors appointments thatll never go away, I am hounded and tortured every day when some ignorant person asks me what my dog is for and blah blah blah, while im just trying to run to the bank. It is hard being a survivor in this world of, just willful ignorance. Im so happy I found this guys page when I was bedridden and couldnt walk, he got me to learn to walk again. His struggle isnt new, we all have our own, and if you havnt, find a community that talks back when you talk outward, that helps immensely.
Typing this was a dread because my injuries created a Learning Disorder and I forgot 70 percent of my vocabulary. I taught myself to read in prison and was very proud of the countless books I read. JUST to have someone tell me in passing that they would love to be hit by a car "pay me!" yeah...after the medical bills, youll be lucky to afford a mcdonalds sandwich.
Omg all that hard work for only 24 likes
Hey man, how you doing now? Hope you’re doing good 👍
jeasus crist man, you've been through hell and back, im supporting you all the way with this. You can count on me and whole other 3,272,536 people to belive in you. Keep fighting for the life you deserve and youll get it.
amen

I know this video is a couple years old. I too have PTSD and chronic pain from spinal stenosis and a few other spinal issues. I get the flashbacks/triggers, depression and crippling anxiety. I've finally went to a doctor to get some pills to sleep, nightmares, auditory hallucinations and night terrors were very common. I started to see a counselor and soon a nutritionist. I was told by my counselor that because I've had long term PTSD that my metabolic system is just messed up. Something to do with cortisol (took my sleep pill an hour ago and it's kicking in, I'm a bit loopy) so I know how much of a struggle it is already, alone with PTSD to eat well and stay motivated when triggers occur. I think it's awesome you keep trying. I also would like to tell you about two things that have helped with my back pain and has given me some freedom back. Not sure if you heard of it but the Quell pain relief device. It seriously works. I also buy fancy shoes (they are not pretty, just help with the back problems) called Kuru shoes. Life changer! Not kidding. I'm nodding off to sleep but yes, saw this video, watched it in its entirety and want you to know, what you did took a lot of courage and also to keep at it. Even some progress is better than no progress at all. zzZZ night.
Jesus
4 years after this video, time flies. So proud of this man ❤️
You'll make it man. And we'll be here to cheer you on when you do.
***** Marcus?
I look up to you man :)
Alan, what are you doing here?!
It's nice to see a youtuber helping a bro out

Bread Breadmen 😂😂
its for people in Australia.
I love your honesty and openness. You need to continue to exist because other people need to know they are not alone. Stay strong and keep leading. We'll keep following (we'll be forever lost without you!) There are more of us that care - please stay focused and always remember that.
Boogie, I know this video is a year old, and I know you've heard everything under the sun, and I know that the chances of you seeing this comment is very low, but I need to say this regardless.
You are a great person, one of the rare ones that truly are a genuine, kind-hearted individual. You have over 3 million people supporting you, and I know that you have the strength to beat this.
I wish you all of the luck in the world my friend.
Well said Grohlvana! We love him and his channel!
Yep! Well said man! :D
amen to that#respectboogie
Agree with u completely dude.
I agree, boogie you have so many people supporting u, I'm new and I just subscribed but you seem to have been through a lot and to see someone so confident and to come out and say stuff about your life makes a great person who has a lot of courage and determination hope u keep going with your videos because your videos do matter to us, we support u in every step of your life
My worst fear is one day waking up and seeing youtube videos on my homepage like "UA-camr Boogie2988 is dead" or something like that. You can do it, Boogie. I believe in you.
BilboBaggins69 _ Fuck off why would say shit like that?
BilboBaggins69 _ You're a psychopath
Steve Stevensteverson hehehhehe
BilboBaggins69 _ I reported you
BilboBaggins69 _ whats your actual reason? why does he need to die?
Everyone who disliked this video has mental issues boggie i hope you get better i belive i you! Iloveu!
MentlyMilk yes I feel sad for them
No Its cause this guy is lazy. You fatties should just exercise lmao
Just like the guy who made the video? He has mental issues also lol.
The least you could do was spel correctly
Idk anymore tbh…
i know this is a old video, but i really feel for you. you’ve been through so much shit and hearing you talk about your story and struggles is a big inspiration. thank you.
The internet needs more people like you.

Boogie I hope you see this, to anyone who told you these "serious videos" suck. Fuck them. Man I've had a really bad week. On June 1 2015 at 1135pm, my mom passed. And I didn't get to say good bye cause we were 10 mins too late. Boogie, your videos really speak to me. When I'm sad I'll watch Francis rage and get a good laugh, But when I need a good point, I watch your serious vids. I NEED these type of vids. I was so depressed after my mom passed. She was a good woman. And I wanted to end it all. But a few days later I got the woman of my dreams to say yes, and long story short, for once in my life, I have a woman who cares about me. My fiancée. I'm a very big guy myself. I guess what I'm trying to say is: don't stop these kind of videos, cause I'm sure a lot of us need these videos, but are to scared to ask. Keep up the good work boogie. Your a role model for a lot of us. We love you man.
I'm really sorry for your lost my friend. I wish you the very best.
Regards from Brazil!
Paulo Souza thank you my friend, means a lot.
Very sorry for your loss, but good luck with your fiancée!
Sorry for your loss man, good luck for the rest of your life! You can do it
Sorry for your lost here's a sub
i just wanted to say that ive been a follower for a little bit now and your reaction to the 300 pound in 15 months video as well as this one had really inspired me. I never commented because i know how many comments you get per day and didn't think it would ever be seen for you to know just what you did for me. This year, i was 265 pounds at 5'11''. over the following 7-8 months, ive now been able to get down to 175 and have plans to go to about 165. I just really wanted to say thankyou for everything you post on here about your struggle because you INSPIRE. Dont you every forget that. It's possible my friend, especially with all of the love and support you have on here and give to others. Please look to us, or your wife, or anyone that will support you because we will all be here for your transformation, no matter how long. Stay strong. Thank-you again
We all have aches and pains, mental issues, whatever the doc says, regardless of how heavy, Boogie. Some, like myself need stern criticism, tough love, and be told to push, others need someone to have a shoulder to cry on and a good morale boost. You gotta do you, Boogie, no matter your methods, you gotta stay strong and look at the end goal, and any small victory is a victory. Good on you for getting better and hopefully you can get to where you need to be. You've got support dude, don't let a step backwards trip you, get back up brotha!
YOU CAN DO IT BOOGIE!!!! We all have faith in you!!
You can do it looks don't matter personality matter stay positive
It does matter if you are 300 pounds overweIght
ehe!
if looks do not matter then it doesnt matter if hes 400lb except for health reasons we dont want to see the guy dying before 40
agree!!!!!!!
Francis, I've spent many years as a military Nurse and seen many instances of great personal bravery and courage. After watching this I place you in the top five. Not all soldiers are in uniform. Some fight terrible battles every day on battlefields where nobody sees. Hang in there, hero. I am no one important, but I am praying for you.
I like people like you the Internet. The Internet is a place of assholes but there's people like you that make things better.
You are inspiring.. I like these people from the internet. I know I am only 14, but you have talent.. So does Francis.. I stand by your side hero. God bless you.
militzry nurce , well that is pretty important...
He's Not Francis he's Steve
you are someone important and those were beautiful words
Bro you are an inspiration, I recently started watching your channel and its awesome going through your older videos and watching your transformation! You have accomplished so much!
Ive struggled to stay positive throughout my life. My uncle had cancer and the night before he died, he was texting me about how he wanted to go on his own terms, and how there was nothing left but pain left here for him. That really made me look at life differently. I started to realize that no matter what I did, I would leave something unfinished and eventually be forgotten. I look at what happend with my dad, How two years after he died the only one who cared was my grandmother, Everyone who used to reassure me has either died or tried to commit suicide. It really fucking hurts when someone who keeps you afloat tries to end their life. My advice to anyone who is someone elses rock, no matter how hard it gets, dont try do commit suicide. It will make someone feel like you dont value them at all.
Sorry for that rant. Anyways, If anyone needs to chat, just type under this thread
And I love you
This is making me so sad :-( We love you boogie, we care about you as well
I love him, too! I feel really bad.😢👑
Seppuku Gaming very true if everyone could support people like this the world would be a grand place
Keep fighting never give up!
Hey..... I love you
+billio bob well, that escalated quickly.
+Dexter hyman haha.
Yeah never give up
+James Amescua just jew it
Man I never knew this about you, I just watched all of your emotional videos and I have not stopped crying. I hope you are and stay happy no matter what. Never stop doing what you are doing and thank you.
it's 2018 I'm just looking back at this mate your genuinely one of the nicest people put there honestly gotta stay strong
I can see this guy is a very, very smart and experienced guy, best of luck
u spelt obese wrong
You're a guy who helps poor people. Why would you leave a comment like that?
smart and experienced in manipulating his audience, yes. even if it's all true what he says
TheOnlyLander stop now. leave.
Blaze71042 triggered?
Am I the only one who felt like crying and wanted to go throw the screen and hug him?
+Girlgamer192
Nope.
I feel u 📱💨😭
Through*
*****
What are you talking about?
I agreed that he was not the only one that wished to jump through the screen & hug Boogie.... because I had the same feeling.
+Parker Filipiak ?! 😳😐
I know this is old but I love how raw this is. Keep up the amazing work. This is so inspirational 💕
Boogie listen we all love You for who U truly are, I suffer with depression and it is not easy! I truly understand the way mental health can drain someone, My mother always tells me "U can!" Always remember this no matter what U are going through always remember U can get through this. The Lord is always with Us and will continue to help us please don't feel as though U are worthless as U are an entertainer and a loving and inspirational man please remover how much U fly the flag for other people's struggles and how much U motivate me and others to conquer our hardest times. Much love boogie man xxxx
just know every soda you decline, every candy bar you wave away, or every pound, half pound, quarter pound you lose is a victory. The end reward is worth it
+Jaze Cinema Bullshit.
+TheBraveGoat This is bullshit advice. At his size, it will take him 10 years if he follows what you're saying. One pound or half a pound is not a victory. This is one of those moments where you're trying to be helpful but you're doing the opposite.
TheBraveGoat lol. Good luck
+Jaze Cinema So there's no coming back? As if. Every time he does something that helps his body, it's a victory. You sad, little people who try to make him feel as though there's nothing left are despicable. He fights harder than you ever will, every single day.
So shut your stupid, little mouth. Boogie is a true champion. Don't you dare try and take that away from him.
***** I know what he said and you can see what I said. Thanks.
I'm guessing both of you have been following him for a while. In that time, he has been on Supersize vs. Superskinny, he has multiple support from his subscribers... you would think this would help him. He is seriously ill and has zero self control. Even on the show he ate something over 1000 calories for ONE meal. When, the max he should eat is 2000. You guys think you're being supportive but you're not, at least not in the long run. I've worked with people his size with all sorts of personalities.
Anyways, like I told him... good luck to you.
You sir, are a badass.
+BasterdAirsoft Despite what the word may imply, "badass" is actually a word with a meaning similar to that of "awesome".
+Nintendo link I'm aware. I think this guy is awesome.
+SMP 088 You're a very unhappy person.
BasterdAirsoft FAK YOU
+SMP 088 Yes, yes. Use your anger. It gives you focus, makes you stronger!
This is an old vid but, I feel your pain man, I have narrow nerve channels in my back and a permanently slipped disc in my lumbar. the moment that you injure it is the most frightening and painful thing in your life and like you, I wont take prescription medications either by choice and just deal. It's frustrating but, we've just gotta keep going, hope you retain your determination and have a good 2018.
Wow that is moving I’m sorry for what you are going through and hope you get through it
i swear he's the nicest man alive
iAmHostile | HostileEntertainment | yes he is
iAmHostile | HostileEntertainment | go on to Mcjaggernuggets channel and see if u still want to call him the Nicest man
Ruth guirguis I Watch McJuggerNuggets. It's a series.
Ruth guirguis That's fake you idiot
Ruth guirguis Honestly how dumb do you have to be to think that series is real. Its completely fake
Shit. As someone who only really watches your videos off and on, I had no idea you you've had such a difficult life. You're a goddamn warrior.
Sam S He told everything in his draw my life
Sam S life is hard man. nobody can know someone's troubles, so to sound like a hippy: we should just be fucking nicer to each other.
calliph Ur so right
calliph Woah. That was deep, man. I'm gonna remember this.
Hell yeah
I literally don't know what to say other than that you are the reason I believe there are still good people in this world. I really wish you to succeed and I know you will because you are one of the bravest people I know. The only thing that makes me sad is that I live in Greece and because of that, I will never get to meet you. I am now 14 years old and I think that if I become as brave as you are, I will be able to accomplish everything I want or need. I wish to you the best of luck and I hope that by next year you'll be a lot better.
dude i cant even begin to imagine the pain u have been thru. but i can already tell u are so much stronger then so many other people in this world. the progress u have made so far is incredible! i can see u going so much further in life then what u already are at. u are so inspirational. but u definately have NO REASON to apologize for anything. what happened was nothing u could avoid. stay strong dude
You are a beautiful person, I love you.
I hope you are lying.
+Pixel Pie you must've disliked the video
+Pixel Pie ......
+DaZDanker Why don't you, since you lack lucidity.
+Pixel Pie your one of those shitty people
Sir, you may have some bad history, but no one will be able to take away your incredible beard. it rivals all. plus you're a super nice guy
👏
👍👊
.
well said
😁👍
Im seeing this 3 years later, but, I must say, thank you Boogie for everything. I know your surgery will go well and your life will turn completely around. We believe in you, and we are infinitely grateful.
You arent alone Boogie, i too have dealt with abuse. My family treated me like i wasnt blood, my father faked his death when he heard my mom was pregnant just to come back when i was 12 to break my leg and leave me out in the woods to die, or make me play russian roulette with myself, my brother molested me and my mom blamed me for what he did despite me not knowing what sex was when i was that age, but enough about me, this is about you, we love you and your content man and no matter how rough things get just know that we are here for you and me, ill be here as long as your channel is up. Dont ever give up, it didnt help me when i overdosed and ive had to live with that mistake my whole life.
The past cannot be changed, but just know that whatever happens, we're here for you. You're a very brave and genuinely down to earth person and just know that you've influenced the life of so many others, and we're thankful for that
Team boogie!
+Amy Thompson Boogie is genuine. Boogie is cute. Boogie will never be sad again :D
so true so true😫
+Niranjan Naik So So true!
+Amy Thompson Can't wait until boogie gets down to 15% bodyfat so I can school him on how to lift and be a gym bro,get him fuckin shredded brah
Always come back to this video because it inspires and puts in perspective a lot of things, Thank you boog
Hey soclosetotoast I love your vids
agreed buddy
agreed
True
I totally agree with you
Your story is so endearing and so inspirational, man, I got to know you because of a podcast, since then I will listen to your videos when I feel I need your voice the most. Seeing how far you have come and how hard you have fought, only gives me reasons to not give up on myself and to improve my way of living. I don't know you, but I sincerely care for you Boogie. You have my prayers and love, keep on being a person to look up to!
I cant remember when I click the thumb up, it was maybe just 4 years ago, I was somekind of struggling mentally with my acedemic life, somehow I saw this video and licensed what this guy side, it didn't move me instead it triggered something in myself, something make me feel "clear", days after, I tought through lots of things in my life, and slightly making changes... Time goes by, now is the first day in 2021, dont know what driven me back to this video, but hey, wish all people a ggod year and don't forget what we have been through as a person and an individual in this society, thrive and being invloved, peace.
Found this a year too late.
All* I'm going to say is that you're fucking inspirational and the fact you haven't ended yourself prematurely is amazing.
Keep on keepin' on, dude.
same here
Agreed.
That's true, I genuinely care, I feel sorry for what's he's been through
hes incredibly strong and he needs our support ! we are all here for ya BOOGIE !!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for sharing man. So many people are struggling with things that you have dealt with. You make them feel like they are not alone. I'll be praying for you big brother.
Boogie, I want u to know that u inspire me everyday and I know this is an old video and to see how far you have come from this video and I can’t explain how much u inspire me. I love how much effort you put in your videos and how hard hard you work is just an inspiration. I love how u keep pushing every day nonstop to just try. U get me out of bed every day and to hear your life story makes me think I don’t have it bad every time I think I do, I remember u. I don’t know what I would do with out u, my life would feel lost. I want u to succeed and that last thing I ever want to see is a UA-cam video saying UA-camr Boogie2988 has passed away. I will always support and love you no matter what.
You sir, should write a book.
Angel Castillo Benjamin Muthafucking King baby!
Don't you think you guys are being a little harsh for people having different opinions?
Angel Castillo This man certainly has the wisdom and life experiences to write a great book.
He even has the fan base who can purchase it.
Ikr
TootToot Yep so that's a massive jumpstart.
You sir deserve more than you have.
Yes 🙌❤️
YES HE IS SO GREAT
So right
I’ve just come back to this video and it’s phenomenal how far you’ve come. You have all these people that support you and we push you to go forward. And you do. It’s true outstanding and just shows how much you can put up with this. Well done boogie!
Mad respect to you dude, falling into that eating and lack and motivation is a huge hole! Getting passed all those awful things feels better than anything in life!
You are so brave and an inspiration mate. Keep on fighting you deserve a long and happy life.
I agree also I love your vids keep it up razz!
Well put razz
I agree
Razzbowski your a nice and cool person.
You Dawko 8 bit gaming and smike are great youtubers I watch your guys
videos and so keep on more content on your channel.
Me too
I'm not a gigantic fan of your Francis stuff. But man, this real shit you put out is exactly why I'm a subscriber.
same.
Exact same as me.
pbmdh me too bro
pbmdh his real name is Steve his Francis name is just a character he pretends to be for satirical videos
pbmdh me too bro
Dear Boogie, I'm only 3 mins into this video, only just discovered you, and I've shed tears already and I feel love for you and I'm subscribing. I'm a victim of childhood abuse as are many people close to me and I've struggled with addiction, especially overeating, and so much of what you say resonates. I'm really looking forward to catching up on your content. A hug for you bro!
Boogie, can I just say that you’ve been an inspiration for me? Yes, I’m a strength coach but under the surface I feel just as you have described so vividly in this video. I still struggle with compulsive binge eating and anxiety but little by little I’m working on bettering myself. I don’t know if you’ll ever see this comment but I hope you do. And if there is EVER anything that I can help you with, don’t ever hesitate to reach out.
I cannot understand how 3,000 people disliked this. i hope they just have bad hand-eye coordination and hit the wrong button..... 😕
They thought that it was the dis I like button
Maybe they weren't wearing there glasses?
+dylan adams Your profile pic is outdated
Maybe they just didn't like the video, or didn't like how his life is and feel bad for him, and for this reason they clicked dislike
+John W there is no hand eye coordination when you can see the cursor
Keep fighting. You're gonna make the hall of fame, champion. I'm proud of you. The community is proud of you. Victory is a long road, but every journey is accomplished with actions.
Make the hall of fame for what? I think you meant Guinness world record book for fattest mam alive.
MrBosseidon dam right do u support boggie as much as I do
Bruh that's mean he is trying and that's what counts.
It's sweet how you can tell the people you love your story. You are a true role model to be able to tell people that you don't need to fit in. Be who you are and stay true to yourself. You don't need to have a whole bunch of friends. If your friends don't like you for you then they aren't true friends. Like how boogie does he likes to make videos for his UA-cam family and they like and subscribe and comment. This is his second family where he doesn't need to fit in. UA-cam is his life and he loves it like he loves life. All I have to say is guys stay true to yourself and don't let anybody try to change you or make you different. People are bullys and you just have to ignore them. It's okay boogie you don't have to be upset with anything just go through life like you want. Nobody should be able to tell you what to do. The only person that is in control of YOUR body is YOU not anybody else. stay true and postive:) love you!!!
Hey Boogie, look how far you've come; both mentally and physically! Truly an inspiration
boogie, you are one of the small percentage of UA-cam that makes youtube what youtube should be. Lately its just been drama, money/ view whoring, fighting, unneeded videos, offensive videos, videos made from 12 year olds, and the worst of them all... Minecraft videos. But the small percentage make people love youtube, and they do it all for the love, and passion. You make videos to make others smile and I hope that one day all the unneeded cancerous youtubers will just dissapear. You have 3 millions followers who comeback to every video expecting a smile, and thats what you deliver.
Well put
Why do you say Minecraft videos and videos made by 12 year olds are bad? I get your point, but there are quite a few decent youtubers who are 12 years old. Even if they aren't, they don't know how unforgiving and evil UA-cam is. The Minecraft video thing is a dumb stereotype, the youtubers who make the bad videos fill them with clickbait and crap like that, so they appear before the good videos, so all you see is lucky block this, orespawn that, minigames everywhere.
AdasbaGaming
You are COMPLETELY missing the point
MrDooney I mean, I get that you are trying to say that boogie2988 posts better and honest videos instead of the clickbait crap that you see all over youtube, but I think it isn't a good idea to stereotype minecraft gamers and 12 year olds who haven't been warned about jerks in the comments section.
I'm crying for your words
Wow amazing!
Naturally, you have to be big to hold the incredible quantity of awesomeness you have.
Ahahaha yes!
Best comment
Ha that's smart
I agree
You have earned my subscribe
u are such a sweetheart... I was first listening to ur video on suicide and didn't agree on some stuff, like the fact u can't tell a suicidal person he/she is selfish, if you empathize with their pain... Anyway! it is an old video i am sure you have maybe updated your view on it... This video touched me a lot, you seem really genuine.. Keep up, u must have hugely lot of support. I just heard you You Fight! I still wonder if i should continue fighting... However, keep up, * and don't listen to lots of people! And you are already a winner for trying, whatever in life! **!
I’ve been a victim too. I feel so much love for you, Boogie. Thank you for your continued honesty and openness. It has really helped me at times.
many thanks for being here boogie
boogie with the mindset u have, anyone can do anything.
nice
DizzyMortal Captain noice
I love the flood of positive comments on this video!
Yea me too
Can we get an award for this man? He deserves it, really
damn Boog its insane how far you have come in 2 years. the pain evident in your voice here and the difference now is crazy. god bless my dude keep up the great work
This just put so many movie monologues to shame.
Probably.
Some of it could've been scripted.Genuine is the word you're probably looking for.
I just want to say "Thank you" to your caring wife.
+Xcel Byte Saying thank you makes you a jerk? Huh, who would've thought.
His childhood makes me cry :( How can people be so mean to him?
Depressed Boi because other people probably have been mean to them, and they don't know other ways of treating each other.
Depressed Boi Not to knock on boogie, but the south is the place where youre supposed to "not be a pussy" and "man up" and not complain about things. Theres a reason why people from the rural south are the way they are insest stereotypes and all.
People are evil they have no mercy for kids, their self, or other people. If people had compassion we would have no need for tearing each other down to make us feel better. We need compassion not have anger in our lives but I will tell you one thing if you are going to teardown someone just to make yourself feel better, stop and walk away or apogalize
at least he gets laid, i had worse
Ok so im a new subscriber but i can honestly say that youre my fave. Youre an inspiration, and with everything that you have been thru and youre still here with us. Please maintain, man, please...
God bless you Boogie
And Mrs. Boogie
Yes I agree😭
Yes
Who here cried...
😓😓😓
God bless your soul boogie
Right here and I'm not ashamed of it.
Thank you so much for posting this video, it personally helped me a lot
Many tears, many
me
I didn't cry, just had something in my eye ;S
Matt Fighting was it tears
Its people like you that show you can do anything from any situation. You are a shining example of what people in your situation should aspire to be. I wish you the best in the future.
Bro life has obstacles man. We all can overcome it. Start putting in the work! I support you my brotha
It's extremely strong and brave of you to talk about this boogie. I wish I could just hug you right now!
thats kind of fucked up man
***** If you're unable to hug him, you're doing it wrong.
***** He has a neck, hasn't he? Just throw your arms around that. And you really don't need to go all the way around in order for it to be a hug. That's just a skinny bitch hug. Might as well go outside and hug a lamppost.
Armadillo I uiiiiip
Ooooo pppppppl

Mr. Boogie, you are not alone. Many of us fight these demons constantly. I do find this video you made very encouraging. You are couragous to face wall and punch through it. I hope you are doing ok since you made this video. Thank you for letting us know that we are not alone and there are others out there who understand.
Well done it's very hard to talk about things like this it takes a lot of courage great cid
*vid
It does
exactly. Accepting that he hs the disorderd is the most difficult thing. I really respect him. I wish I could help him in any way
It's my first time watching any of your vids.
This vid made me smile. Stay strong and keep positive as best you can Boogie!
OMG. I can relate to you on so many levels with family, and eating to comfort and anxiety as a result of family etc... but you have worded it in a better way then I ever could. God bless you x
Easily one of the most touching and honest videos on YT I've ever seen. I fucking love you man, that took a lot of courage. You absolutely didn't have to, but thanks for sharing. I know you can do this Boogie. Sure, you're bound to have some slip ups, but you will get there in the end if you try to stay positive! Don't be too hard on yourself if you mess up once or twice.
A lot of people (including me) would miss you! You are one of the kindest, most honest and funny people on YT. I hope you can beat your demons or at least be able to live with them. Sure, there will always be haters. But the overwhelming majority adores you man! Much love and strength!
Same here! I have so much respect for Boogie!
This 100%. There is not a kinder and more sincere person on UA-cam. Keep being you and dig deep man. You have overcome a lot. Keep fighting the good fight and stay in there. We cannot lose you bud. Much love.
Boogie you a a beautiful, pure and wonderful person. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. :)
What dude said. Keep your head up bud!
+CC-3636 ur correct but people in the world are harsh its unfair but one thing this man does is not give a fucking shit best way of getting around problems like that indeed.
+Steve There's different way's to be beautiful? And yes, Boogie is the best example, that i know, being a beautiful person. Maybe he's the best example, to BE known.
yes you are
+CC-3636 Hello there, Commander Wolffe...
Such a strong man. No matter what happens he always tries his best.
I am sooooo excited I found your channel I too suffer from similar disorders and your video made me feel so many emotions but the outcome was so powerful and well needed in my life on so many levels. Thank you for being you! “You can do ALL things” 🤗💯🙃😀☺️
I love that this video was uploaded 7 months ago and still gets new comments from people being uplifting and kind. I hope as long as this video exists people continue to post these kind words and be encouraging to Boogie and all those struggling. I thought I had more problems and more pain than one person could comprehend. I thought after 4 unsuccessful suicide attempts nobody could truly understand why I've done what I've done over and over. Then I watched this video and it really is absolutely amazing. My heart goes out to you, Boogie, and to all the people out there taking life one day at a time. No matter how big or small you think your problems are, just know that there are people who care about you and what you're going through. If you read this and you're struggling, know that I care about you even though I don't know who you are and I wish you the absolute best. Never ever stop trying
+Gary B
I thought same as you, but one day got pissed off at all that life threw at me since I was a kid, horrible things I don't wish to write here.... and I said to myself that if I could go through all that, survie a war, and spend 10yrs bedridden from an incurable illness (can't get 3rd surgery because it's very expensive) - I'm not gonna kill myself out of sheer fucking principle! I just won't. I may still think about it, but I won't. When times get rough, I play music, or read, or watch a movie, or talk to friends on FB (those are my only friends, real life ones bailed as soon as I got sick). Life is made up out of little things, and if each day I get even one laugh . . . which is doable, even for me in my pathetic state. . . then I'm gonna keep on keeping on, even in neverending constant fucking unbearable pain that makes me want to smash life and everything in it. But suicide wouldn't really hurt me (much), it would hurt and permanently scar all those around me. And surely, even though some are bad at showing it, there are people who love us and who would grieve (maybe never be the same, as my mom or husband, for example). Inflicting pain on me, psh, that's not a big deal... I live with it every day and I've forgotten what it is like to wake up without pain & be able to do even simplest things such as make yourself coffee (others have to bring it to me, same as meals, or I'd starve). But inflicting pain on others, I can and will not do.
I don't know what your reasons for the 4 attempts are, but I see some real hurt as part of those reasons, just like I have... even though it probably stems from different sources, but inner pain is inner pain. It can be worse than the physical pain (believe me I know both, I live them both). But please don't do it. If you need to talk, sometimes it's easier to tell stuff to a stranger, msg me. Or find some support in your friends. Or collect tiny bit of happiness in each day (it can be anything, as small as a laugh or as big as making a new friend for life (friend who understands). Psychiatrists & meds don't help me much, and it's laughable how out of control my mental illnesses (big plural) are . . . but one HOUR at a time, I can't even do one day, it's come to hours with me. No platitudes about getting strong here, just DON"T DO IT. After all you've been through, fuck, isn't the time for GOOD stuff to start happening just around the corner somewhere? It must be, I believe in that... even though I have absolutely no reason to. Music & books help me escape into a different world, find something that does that for you, and above all - tell your story without shame to someone you trust, or even to a stranger like me who will listen and possibly help... but at the very least will understand.
Sorry for the long post, but these are not kind of things to be said in one-liners. Stay well. And don't forget, my offer stands, even though I much prefer talking via FB than here. Let's share stories, and help each other out? What do you lose, and you might gain a friend, who knows. YOU care about Boogie... I care about YOU... and Boogie, and every person that is going through shit or has been suicidal due to life throwing curveball after curveball without respite at us forever, and each is worse than the previous - until one day we begin to think "fuck it, it's not worth it anymore, I'm checkin' out. But it's selfish and NOT a real way of solving problems. I'd much rather GET BACK AT LIFE and all it has done to me, by NOT giving up... no matter how hard it is each second, of each minute, of each hour, hurting days and sleepless nights.
Ducky Ghouleh
I really appreciate your post. And don't worry about the length; I'd much rather have a long read than no replies at all. Honestly, the causes of my pain are pretty widespread so it's hard to pin them down even when trying to sort through my own thoughts. The things that I'm comfortable sharing (since you were kind enough to share some of yours & in case anyone else going through similar problems reads this) are severe anxiety that's kept me from leaving my house for months at a time; OCD with intrusive thoughts that caused me insomnia; emotional and sexual abuse over my life; being stabbed in the back by family and friends; having the only person who ever helped me and understood me tell me they decided they don't love me anymore and leave after a 4 year long relationship; and a host of medical problems such as debilitating eye pain that almost cost me my career.
My heart goes out to you for all the things you did and didn't list in your comment because I can't imagine what it must be like to go through so much of that. I'm honestly very lucky that my life is as good as it is in general because I know it could be worse. I definitely didn't list any of those things to garner pity and I know you didn't either in your post. I'm sure you'll share my sentiment that I wanted to give some details in hopes that somebody else out there could find some comfort knowing they aren't alone. Thank you for opening up about your struggles and for the kind offer you gave me. I might take you up on it some time if things get bad again. And know that I extend the same offer to you and anyone else reading this. One thing I've always promised myself is that given the chance, I would never turn down an opportunity to be there for somebody if I could possibly help them. And your outlook of at least fighting to get back at life is a good way to look at it. It really sucks that we can get to a point where we feel that way, but it keeps us fighting nonetheless so it's not all bad. I've always strayed away from using the term 'selfish' to describe suicide as hearing that always made me hate myself more when I was debating, but I do see your point. And I definitely agree that it's something that can and will hurt other people far more than we think.
I hope this wasn't too long of a ramble, but reading your words made me want to share some of my own thoughts as well. Again, thank you so much for the offer you made me and the story you told of your own struggles. I sincerely hope things improve for you soon because some of us have definitely suffered enough for one lifetime. As I said in my first post - never ever keep trying. And as long as you're willing, keep sharing your story with people because it really helps others like me. Have an awesome day and take care
+Gary B
Thank you, for every word!!! (I used that term, even though I dislike it too, only in the context that it would hurt others). English is not my 1st language + my laptop keyboard is shot, my thoughts disconnected (pain) - so it's very hard to think just now, or write. I'm only able to stare at your post, because it gives me hope in humanity, and your kindness is overwhelming & very nice to hear. I'm glad I posted, even though I'm a huge chickenshit as far as sharing my life publicly (I could NEVER do what Boogie did).
Problem is, I have so much to say just now in reply, but I don't have the energy to do it. Literally. (Now I look at the length of this post & laugh at myself. Be prepared for some really disjointed rambling).
There are no excuses or self pity in my posts, no lies, just me. I behave same way online as in real life, because this has become my only contact with human beings. And I keep meeting people that have gone through VERY similar things (some of them exactly the same) as we have. There are more of us, but some are like me - afraid or embarrassed to share publicly. I didn't even mention half of my issues because I can't do it publicly, but at least I can these: panic attacks, night terrors, chronic migraines, thyroid issue, fibromyalgia, osteopenia (due to a specific hormonal shot they gave me without explanation at the start of my illness, while it was still undiagnosed - I had to beg for a diagnostic surgery for a full year, but i was lucky, as the average time for diagnosis of Endometriosis - which is what I have & what's causing chronic pelvic pain - is 7 years!! Neither of the 2 surgeries helped, and the 3rd will cost SO much, but I'm gonna try to get it somehow). There is more. So much more. Such bad stuff that I don't have the courage to share it publicly, but you have mentioned certain things in your last post that have happened to me also.
At least you still have a career. I lost mine (civil engineering), and a baby, and real life friends, and everything in life except husband and mom (who's 78, I'm 39). I watched my life crashing about me since I was 29, and wondered why I ever survived that war, why was this happening - just when I made something of myself, having come to this country and started working at 17, fought SO damn hard to get a decent life (not luxurious by any means). I don't think I deserved it, and I'm not religious to say things like "God never gives us more than we can carry". That's bull, to me it did. Apology to all religious people out there, I do respect all religions (as long as they're not being shoved at me constantly).
As Ozzy says in one song: "I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired".
Your post was not rambly as this one is, that's for sure. I originally just wanted to write this upcoming paragraph, as I'm really having a bad day. But sometimes words (even detached & "jump from unrelated topic to another" ones) just pour out, straight from the heart. I can't help it.
So here goes: I'm not able to add you in my G+ circles (still figuring the new G+) but, sound as weird as this may, thing is - I don't want to lose contact with you. So please, add me somewhere. My email is ....... and FB ....... (I will edit post to delete this info, as soon as you give me a nod that you've gotten them).
If you don't want to, it's cool and absolutely no hard feelings or offense here... but at least write them down somewhere, as I may not be on UA-cam for months at a time, so wouldn't catch a post written here. Btw I was a big gamer too (one of my addictions) and would like to talk to you about that too sometime (as I see you have a Skyrim video, I've never tried it... D2 & older games lik AOE, etc were my drug, lol).... but in recent years I buy the game but never open it :( Again - lack of energy, no sleep which combined with constant pain produces lack of concentration, disconnected thoughts, anger / bitchiness... plus the fact that some of my meds delete parts of my memory. Sometimes I lose entire days or weeks, just as if they were deleted or never happened. If you can recommend a game or two (no war games please, had enough of shooting in real life to jump at every backfiring car or 4th of July firework)...maybe some music also, you'd help me a lot.
I don't even know how to end all this incoherence, lol... except to wish you much better days ahead & REAL happiness in your future. I think it's waiting for us, somewhere behind the bend in our ugly roads. That's holding me up, somehow. Nothing lasts forever, and things can turn around in a second. If they can do that for the worse, like someone dropping dead out of the blue - surely they can go in the other direction also, towards happier times. We deserve some of those. Hugs from California wine country, wherever you are!

I wrote down your information and I'll add you on facebook soon so you can delete the info from your comment. Your English is very good as well. You use it as well as most native speakers on the internet so no worries there. I'm really sorry to hear about the losses you've had in your life but it's good to know you still have your husband and mom. And one of my family members struggled with Endometriosis for many years so I know that's a really difficult thing as well.
The internet has a lot of bad aspects but it's amazing how it can bring so many people together at the same time. It gives people who are struggling an outlet and a way to connect with others who have issues similar to our own. And don't feel like a coward for not sharing more details of your life. You've shared a lot already and that takes a lot of courage. Again, I know that I'm truly lucky not to have a more difficult road than I have but I do know how frustrating medical problems can be. I can't imagine the torment you go through but it's inspiring that you keep going. There are a lot of people who have given up for a lot less so I tip my hat to you.
Gaming has pulled me through a lot in my life and it's one of the greatest forms of therapy I've ever had. I'll be glad to talk more about games/music, etc. as well so I'll be sure to add you on FB soon. Your comment wasn't rambling so don't fret about that either. I agree with you 100% - if things can get so bad so quickly, surely they can get better as well. I suppose that's the key to making it through difficult times and I wish you the best & better days as well. Finding that thread of hope the grab onto is extremely difficult, but even a thread is better than nothing
+Alma Ducky - Ghouleh Bardette
Steven, Alma, Gary, And for anyone who is reading this...You don't know me, I don't know you, but in all honesty, I hope you are in a better state of mind than when you were 2 weeks ago. Is such a beautiful thing to see how long Steven aka Boogie has come over the past years. And see that people care, and even relate to the hardships of life.
And for me to come here and read the comments, and see you Gary and you Alma and all other people here, helping each other.... I just wished more people would be like this.. and then the world would be a better place.
Alma, it is really good that you are not alone, and that your husband supports you and is there when you need it the most. And I hope your mother is doing well also. Often in struggles like the ones you wrote, people tend to ignore you, or help you at first then get tired ... and sometimes leave you when you need them the most... I was in the past in a place like that... So.. glad you are not alone.
Gary, hope you are seeing this too, and you doing ok. Please keep the fighting on, with life, and don't go in that dark place you were 4 times in the past. I'm talking about the suicide attempts. And if you find yourself there again, just come back here and reply to my comment, or talk with Alma as I see you two are on FB now, or with anyone else.
I hope i didn't come as a obnoxious being for writing all the things I wrote... I speak from some bad experiences in my life, with a dysfunctional family, health problems, dark places when I wanted all to end, bad friends, long 7 years relation with someone who just one day left, work problems, and so on...
I;m in a better place now that I was a year ago, but sometimes... the feelings.. just come back...
I don;t know what got over me... saw some videos today in the same tone as the one on here... and when i started to read the comments, i don;t know... I stopped here, and really wanted to say the things I just said.
I hope my english is okay and that I didn't offend someone.
Stay strong and be safe!
PS. I can recommend a game. It is a indie game. Unravel is the name. The creator is such a genuine person and the team also, from what I saw in some presentations and interviews. Search for a trailer. Hope it helps.
This guy is a man. He is an inspiration. We think about when we were kids not getting the toy we wanted. He was beat for nothing. He almost never got what he wanted. Most people would have given up but not him. He's had so much but he's still going strong and I love that. I'm gonna get off my lazy ass and do it and I've said that all my life but now I'll do it for real. Thank you so much for this video Steven. You inspired me to get up and do something with myself. I really hope you read this. I believe in you
I literally cried when I saw this video
Good luck dude! I'm rooting for you!
+Benjamin Benitez
WOW if this guy can do it i can too! im in my latter 30's and NOT in a great state of health. im not nearly as large but i have ungodly high BP and an an alcoholic....not a good mix.
I would say of all the famous people everyone looks up to, you are my biggest hero. The mentality that you have brings focus to people. I hope you are doing better than ever and I hope that one day I can congratulate you in person for your accomplishments. Thank you boogie.
trying not to cry because i'm at work, you're so amazing, so strong. seeing how much you improved makes me feel glad and proud for you (sorry iff that's weird) eventhough i'm just a bit chubby, i'm not living very healthy tbh and you've inspired me to change that. i'll go on a walk later today!
i feel bad for the 3000 visually impaired people who hit the dislike button
true
+jung devoux Either that or the got confused and thought they dislike button meant "dis i like"
coyotewarchild i like seing someone waste their time making a paragraph.
coyotewarchild Why the hell do you want to see me working out, working up a sweat? Are you gay, are you into that kind of stuff? I mean im not judging, but there's plenty of other places to get that kind of stuff from but UA-cam isnt one of them. Now i consider my self to be in pretty good shape, but not 50 pull ups sort of shape. Im not a fucking Olympic champion. I can get 15, maybe 20 without the restraint band, but 50! C'mon, i like to dream as well. And it wasn't a joke if it was true. And the fact your getting so defensive about it just makes me think it is even more true, i had suspicions of it not being true, but thank you for putting me at ease and confirming them.
coyotewarchild With that logic, then like 95% of the males on this planet are not a man. I would actually like to see you record yourself doing 100 push ups at one time because i highly doubt that because you reply to my comment within the hour every time i post, no matter what time it is. I dont know how you have time to do everything some important person like you needs to do in life and have the time to go to the gym, and drool over his computer so he can reply to half the population of UA-cam that you started an argument with.. So what about a single dad, raising 3 children on his own on the welfare system but pulling through and getting his kids the shelter, food, and education they needed. But in all that time, he doesn't have enough time to go to the gyms so he can't do 100 push ups at one time. So is he not a man? Going through all that and not giving up, but he cant do 100 push ups at one time?
Love you too boogie. Thank you for your honesty.
Didn't think I'd see you here, Noknow!
***** Hes been here befor
bignoknow
Nice to see you here. I hope boogie is watching your stuff.
Just started watching your videos this week. I appreciate you so much man. Thank you for everything
I'm new to your channel, but God bless you man. You're videos are funny and you're an inspiration. Please keep doing what you're doing and stay strong because you not only entertain but you also inspire more people than you know! I wish you all the best and hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year sir!
I owe you an apology Mr. Boogie ( you deserve my respect ) I came across one of your videos and had no idea who you are or what you are about. When I saw your character. ( didn't know Francis wasn't real) I didn't like him and I wrote nasty remarks and went on my way. After a time I've come across this video and now I know what an asshole I was/am/ can be. I am so sorry for not even taking just a minute to realize even if Francis was real I'm asshole for being nasty. Again I am so sorry and you've taught me very valuable lesson.
Good luck to you and your wife.

true .
Good on you for recognizing and admitting that you made a mistake. Wish we had more of that on the internet!
It's all too easy to allow the anonymity of the internet, and the lack of knowing who someone really is, deride our better judgment. But it takes strength of character to not only admit when you were wrong but to then reach out and directly, publicly apologize. I watched this video and then went to the comments, bracing myself to see all "the sh*tty people coming out of the woodwork" Boogie mentioned in his video. But the first comment I saw was yours. And it amazed me. I really hope Boogie sees this and responds back to you. Well done.
This had me tearing up. Literally, whenever im sad or angry i always watch your videos and they make me laugh sf hard, never gets old. Your such a strong guy, i defiantly respect you for that. As long as you keep fighting and keep trying, ull make it. Chin up, homie, we all love you and support you!
Yeah we do

You make me laugh, interesting gaming discussions... Then this video... Man we have so much in common, I am not as courageous so won't talk about it but I wanted to you know your videos helps so much, specially when you feel cornered. So grateful you doing this. So thank you.
I hear you on the ptsd and depression I shall not go into details keep your head up man things always get Better keep pushing forward
