- THIS VIDEO WAS PRETTY HARD FOR ME TO MAKE!!! I didn't know how to start it or what to even do but I ended up just speaking from my heart and let you guys know what ive really been going through the past few months!!! But on the bright side, IM BACK BABY!!!
VLOG 55
Remember that depression isn't a sealed cave. It's a tunnel. Keep on going and you *will* find light at the end.
Great Comment Frank - i once wrote down i see it as invisible for others to see, imagine being sat in a chair on a beach looking out to sea, and everyone is having fun around you BUT you can feel a Tsunami out to sea coming towards you that others cannot see THEN it hits you,crash's into you, But to others you are sat in your chair nothing happening, The Tsunami is crashing over you and around you moving past going inland and you have to stay strong 'Not Panicing' in the chair and you just have to be patient and 'WAIT' , then it all flows back to the sea and you are sat safe in the chair due to not having fell apart.
i also wrote while in that chair/time deep in the depression at your lowest you can link in with The Inner Spirit/God and you can examine what is presented to you and you can work on it as it is something that is blocking your spiritual progress that time of depression can be where you find a pearl of wisdom in the darkness.... secret is do not panic..! Best Regards James
What an awesome way to put it! This will help the next time I'm in the tunnel. Thank you.
Thank you so much for checking in with us. You know we all love you!🙏🏽🥰
Hope u feel much take care of your before going back on the job it's only one body
I'd your little girl ok now? And I understand your fear of needles
God Bless You. Thank you for being so open about anxiety. We are praying for you.
Sounds like a demonic attack
😅
But I also think your wife needs a break after holding it together for everyone. Let her know she is seen by us as well. Very strong woman right there. ❤❤❤❤❤
Hi, Al. I’m a veteran living with PTSD. Just wanted to let you know you-how watching you [help others] makes me feel like you’re doing GOD’s work! You are an amazing person. Living life day-by-day and thanking GOD for his mercy is what keeps me moving forward.
GOD Bless you and your beautiful family!
How TF do you have ptsd? You were never in combat?
You don’t have to be in combat to have PTSD. It isn’t something that just affects veterans. Why you pickin’ a fight?

As someone who continues to battle anxiety, grief, and depression I so hope you are able to find the therapy that works for you so you can continue to be your best self. Whether it is playing chess, building legos, or making videos do what you love so you can focus on you and your health.
Keep being amazing Al and hope your family stays safe & healthy!
Oh I totally understand 🥲 Hope you stay strong 🙏❤️
Me too with the struggle...it's so hard to keep fighting but I do❤❤❤ you too ok❤❤❤❤
Glad to see you are feeling better. Sometimes I have anxiety really bad. I have found that by doing the Five Grounding Technigues really helps. Try it out. It will help you get out of your head.
God Bless You and your family, we love you and God's got you. It's wonderful to see you today.
Rest up and recharge recover , what's good for you and your family comes first. Thank you for the great UA-cam vids ,take care 👍
I want to thank you for your courage to speak out on your anxiety and depression. So many people suffer silently with it, especially men. I honestly believe that talking about it not only lightens your burden but may also help someone else not feel so alone. Shout out to your wife for having your back!❤
For someone who goes through dark times , you shine the light of Christ in your kindness and gentle soul . God Bless you and keep you sir . Please know that prayers are going up for you and your family 🙏🏻
Mr. Bladez. You are fantastic and so therapeutic for so many. Please be easy on yourself. We will all watch your channel no matter what and be supportive to you. You are a great person with great intentions. You have done so much for and what a great example for countless people.
You don’t owe us any explanation.
We have just been hoping you & your family are OK.
I too suffer from anxiety/depression.
I can be fine one day & then the next day I just start crying out of the blue and it is tough to overcome.
Stress & how it affects our mind is a hard thing to deal with.
You are not alone Al !
Love you guys ❤
I can relate to your comment.
I can relate too Lis. Hope you're coping okay Hun! Take care. ❤🇨🇦
@lg8365
I am doing well right now
Thank You 😊
I hope you are as well !
Dealing with this as i watch this video! You guys aren’t alone! Prayers to everyone who is suffering! ❤
@Missy3105
Hugs to you !
I pray you feel better very soon ♥️
As a veteran dealing with PTSD and clinical depression, I understand. Know that we are behind you and support you whether you are posting videos or not. Please just check in once in a while so we know you’re ok.
Thank you, Christopher, for your service! I pray God lays a mighty hand of recovery on you to heal your PTSD. With MUCH Love - Diana ❤😊
I’ve gone through anxiety too !! This life has lots of challenges ! Prayers for you ❤
🇺🇲Thank you for your service. May God bless you, and continue to bless the USA. 🖖🏼🫶🏼
✨✝️🙏🏼💖🙇🏼♀️🙌🏼🕊️✨
Myself I'm a veteran with PTSD and Anxiety/Depression. I'm on medication for those mental illnesses. Also, I am extremely claustrophobic, which will trigger a severe panic attack. I hope you get feeling better soon, and I will pray for you. 🙏
I’m not a veteran but I gave anxiety and PTSD from anesthesia gone wrong. I understand. I’m glad you gave support.
You are helping others by talking about it. Thank you.
❤
Lego model FTW. We abandon the things that are fun as we grow up for absolutely no valid reason. Get some more of that good stuff in ya!
It's a brave thing to discuss your anxiety and depression openly. Thank you! I think there is a heaviness in the world right now that is pressing on us. ❤
EXACTLY and Amen! ❤ - Diana
Anxiety is a real thing. I [unknowingly] had it even before it was a "THING"...just thought thought I was weak. I refused to get on an antidepressant for years as my Dr recommended because I had never been depressed.
But when he finally convinced me that would cure Anxiety- I discovered he was right.
@ellenadams5650 We need to value and care for a whole person including mental health. So many physical health problems can be attributed to issues like anxiety and depression. It's unfortunate that it's taken so long for the medical community and the world at large to acknowledge and help treat people.
Mental health RN here. So proud of you to pull yourself out of this and face that demon. A mental health break and a checkup can be a life saver. Hang in there!
I've been fighting this all my . I didn't know I was their until I was in my 40's. I'm now 71 everything is great now!@erinwalter132
Dear Al, anxiety can be absolutely brutal. For those who haven't experienced it, it's so hard to describe. You are not alone, and you are dearly loved. Keep breathing and taking one day at a time. You're doing all the right things. May the love and kindness that you send out come back to you tenfold as you find your way through this challenge. ❤
I had 3 full-blown panic attacks in 1 week, 3 trips to the ER. You are so not alone. I've been taking maintenance medication for quite a few years. I'm glad you feel safe here to share. We sure do appreciate you. Stay safe, share your feelings, and seek therapy if needed. You are a terrific human! ❤ to you and your family
Oh my goodness! You sound exactly like my 25 yr old daughter! She has been going through extreme anxiety attacks for almost a year and a half. It got worse in December. She got married to a wonderful man. Was feeling somewhat better then had a miscarriage! Absolutely threw her for a loop! She is just now crawling out of that hole. We have been praying and praying for God to raise her up. We’re getting there. I’m going to be praying for you! You always make me smile and I love your spirit! If you need someone to talk to you can talk to this old mommy! I have a good ear! You take care and I’ll be listening out for you!
As a fellow anxiety/depression sufferer.... And self proclaimed most private person in the world..... I really appreciate your candidness in speaking about this. Keep your head up and take care of yourself.
Mental anxiety can manifest to the physical-and people who don’t have anxiety issues won’t always understand-and if there is a physical problem, it makes the anxiety 100 times worse and just feeds back and forth-be safe and get healthy ❤love watching both channels
Glad your truly better. Remember a lot of people love you out here . Thanks for sharing 🙏🏽peace be with you God continue to keep you healthy ❤️
Amen
Al, This is not crazy at all, please reach out to a therapist and explain your anxiety, Just talking it out with family and friends isn't the same. There are many things they can teach you to calm yourself without medications if that's a problem. I have been there, take care of your health, we all can wait. Love both of your Channels and your family content.
Al , is Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior ? I ask because I have met many people who have your issues/ anxiety and as they grew closer to the Lord their issues/anxiety became less and less, and in some cases completely gone. John 3;16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have every lasting life. True peace is found only in Jesus Christ !!!
I have to agree...spending time in God's word helps my anxiety a lot.
Al please remember you ae never alone in life, there is an ear, a shoulder a caring friend and or family member ready to help. As you know if things are really hard then know there is help both from friends and professional support close! People care about YOU!
You are the sweetest, most precious man Al. Get better soon, and we miss your yard videos and to hear who you are going to bless next. One thing I noticed is that you do not have much fat on your body. One doctor that examined Bruce Lee, martial artist, said he died from lake of fat and too much exercise. Eat more butter and healthy fats and increase "complex" carbohydrates, as in broccoli, and other cruciferous vegetables. That is what my dietician says.
You are not alone, my friend. Anxiety kicks but with no warning. A lot of us are going through similar anxiety and stress. We stand behind you 100%. Keep fighting it man.
Your physical and metal health are what is important.. glad you see you
As an elderly person that lives alone after losing my husband, I can tell you that depression is very real and not easy to get through. Find things that interest you....think I might try Leggos. Stay strong and keep people in your life . I have missed you and am sending prayers and positive thoughts for you and your family.
Candybell3214, I have had over 100 plus surgeries and procedures since birth. There is only one way to stop depression which is stop keeping God out of one’s life. If one asks God to help you by praying to God, by reading the greatest love letter to humanity the Sacred Scriptures the Holy Bible and ask God to forgive one of our sinfulness. I promise you that ones depression or any of problem God can and will fix if one Loves God as much as he loves us. You’re problem or illness my not go away but God will give one the tools to make you happy, joyful and at peace inside one’s soul, body and mind.
Satan does want any of us to rely upon God for everlasting happiness, joy and peace. God loves us so much that he wants all of us to be in Heaven with him for all eternity. But if we follow the world and Satan our happiness, joy or peace will be very brief.
If one forgoes the world and realize on God alone the joy, peace and happiness will shine upon us with God’s graces and blessings.
Again, completes the Three Pillars the God asks us to do daily which are prayer, Penance by (obeying his 10 Commandments ) disobedience to God’s Word and will and study and know the Catholic Faith which is the only Universal Truth that Jesus Christ founded and set forth through his Apostles
JohnTheBaptist.us
Those are nice words of inspiration
For myself I'd prefer a Mechano Set. If left outdoors it'll rust and disappear.
💖
I enjoyed Lego’s. I really got into log cabin toy. My grandson would build towns and he had a train station, matchbox cars. IT WAS FUN! I was in my early 60s. What fun to be a grandmother.
Thank you for bringing light and acceptance to all mental health issues. The best to you.
Anxiety disorders are crippling, Vertigo is also something I suffer with, the dizziness off balance feeling, is scary all in itself. Which is something you may have gone through by the way you explained it. I try to help people with their Anxiety because I've been going through it for so long ,since I was 15 I'm 59 now lol. You will bounce back from this son I assure you.
COVERING YOU AND YOUR FAMILY IN PRAYER!!!
Thank you for sharing your journey with anxiety. You got this Al!!!!! Never, never give up!!!!
Amen!
Amen
BEAUTIFUL COMMENT Covering them in prayer!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree!! Covering you and your family in prayer that this worry goes away and never returns. God Bless you!!!
Agree, God bless him, he is doing an amazing work helping people out.
I’m proud of you for being so vulnerable. Anxiety and depression are real and can affect you physically. Praying for you.
This is a great step in telling your story. There is a huge stigma around anxiety/depression and men. We aren’t allowed to have anxiety in this world we live in. If we do we are weak, soft, snowflakes, but the reality is that coming through it proves just the opposite. We are strong, strong enough to get through it and still be here!!!!
i find it really brave of you to talk about this. most people wouldnt do that. I hope you get well soon and know that we all love and support you!!
Al, Depression can keep you from doing all the things we used to love to do. I have had depression and anxiety my entire life, and I know what a struggle it is. Therapy helps if you find a good therapist that you click with. Be kind to yourself, Al, above all. You mean so much to your family and your community. Take time for yourself whenever you can. We will be here when you're ready. ❤
Hi Al !! You're doing more for the world by doing THIS vlog than you may know. Mental Health is a REAL issue and needs to be brought to the surface of our conversations!! Thank YOU for your bravery and commitment in your life to Pay It Forward. Without people like YOU, we would be a far worse place.
In the meantime, do NOT be afraid of seeking help and sharing here for the world to see a brave man face his issues head-on!!
Peace Brother!! 😎👍✌
So glad you opened up about your health and emotions……it’s a wonderful way to feel better by discussing what your feeling……. Like going to a therapist with no bill………❤
Maybe also, this was what had to be done to bring more awareness to mental issues/challenges that not many are taking seriously. He should document the whole process to get a book in the making to help others overcome this disease because that is what it is. Our leaders also need to provide more help to those suffering. It is a hard fight. I see my loved one struggle every day.
@frankdotyjr, You not only said a mouthful, but you said it spot on. YES ! YES !! You’re 100% right in all that you said ! My sentiments are that I wouldn’t change a word of what you just conveyed .... I couldn’t have said it better than that ! 👍 💔🙏🇺🇸
The discovery you're a LEGO fan just got you a lifetime subscriber
Al,
I know you have been a big blessing to another of people!
I have felt a lot of depression myself and one thing that encourages me is
2 Corinthians 12:9 "My grace is sufficient for you for my power is made perfect in
weakness". I pray that you will allow God to replace your weaknesses with His
strength and replace your fears with His peace that passes all understanding!
I will lift you up in prayer! ❤
Never underestimate anxiety and panic attacks. Generalized Anxiety Disorder is a lot more debilitating than we give credit. Good for you Al. Dark nights of the soul are not easy to get out of. Thank you for your honesty and courage. Much love to you and your family. ❤❤❤❤❤
Don't feel pressured to air every detail of your struggles, Al. We are standing with you in your battles with our thoughts and prayers. Your fans want to know as much as you're willing to share about your life because they care, but some things are private and no one else's business but yours and your family's. Pray for wisdom. The Lord will show you His pathway to your healing of body, soul and spirit. You're loved!
Al we love you , we are praying for you and your family be safe and please get a full yearly check up by you doing this it in courage's all us the people you have helped all these years . Take time for yourself and your family first God loves you just Rest I understand Rem😅.ber there are always underlying conditions hidden. Please Take care of yourself. 😮You have helped me get through all of my health challenges. God Loves you ♥️🙏🙏🙏❤
✔️💯👏🏾
@1dbrook very well said. 💯% agree!
Echo @1dbrook ‘s comment. Praying for your recovery and strengthening of your marriage bond. Praying extra grace upon your dear bride these times are very hard on them as well on a number of levels.
I'm 56 years old and I struggle with anxiety, depression and schizoeffective disorder most my life and I get what you are saying. I get to where I fear leaving the house and will isolate for months sometimes. I manage my symptoms with antidepressants and antipsychotics and have been doing well again for about a year. It's so important to keep busy and have things to do and look forward to, at least for me. I'm am happy you are doing better. Don't beat yourself up. Embrace your whole self as even our "faults" make us who we are. You are a positive, bright individual with a beautiful family. And I believe you are correct. These trials you are going through are for a reason and will make you a stronger, even more compassionate person. These videos you post explaining your situation can be great therapy too - not just for you but the people who watch them. I hope it helps and you continue doing your thing. Thanks for being you, bro! D 🎶
Stop owning the anxiety ! Don’t say MY anxiety, The more you feed it the more it grows! I know the struggle personally! Each baby step is a step forward. You’ve got this hang in there
3 years ago I had a minor stroke. Then 2 months later my heart started racing with afib after testing positive with Covid. I was in the exact place you found yourself. Afraid to be alone and wanting to stay home. A year later I found you on UA-cam. And since I love mowing, I totally enjoyed your videos. I watch your videos all the time now. It helped me thru my weird feelings I have in my head on occasions. The videos calm me down and I get my mind off of feeling weird. Thank you for sharing and I hope you get back to 100%. Life is full of curveballs. Adjust and make positive changes.
As a recovering drug addict who suffers from anxiety and depression who also mows yards for a living...I can totally relate to this, thanks for sharing AL
Congratulations on your sobriety. Prayers for continued peace.
Praying for you to get better, take care of yourself❤️
You are such an inspiration to all of us ❣️
Thank you for being so organic and raw with us! I will definitely add you and your family in my family’s prayers! God Bless!
I suffered from anxiety so much that I had to force myself just to go to the grocery store. I know some people don't believe in the Lord but I do and he told me that the devil was trying to steal my joy. It wasn't an audible voice it was just something that popped in my head and I know it was the Lord. It changed my out look and I hardly ever have anxiety attacks anymore. I pray a lot and the more I pray for others the smaller my problems seem.
I'm so glad you're doing better not just for you but also for your beautiful family. May God bless and keep you always..
I agree Jesus Christ is the the way the truth and the life. Anxiety can become a mountain of phobias obsessions etc. But there’s a way out. Fist is moving through it you can’t stop just keep moving
It takes a real man to be so transparent with health concerns! I'm glad you and your daughter are better! Hat's off to a great wife to help you through it! We love you Al! ❤
Al, everything you said made so much sense to me and you're not crazy. Anxiety, grief, depression are all real feelings and can hit us when we least expect it, and it will leave you unmotivated to do anything. I can also relate to the needles thing. By now, I have had enough needles with blood work, etc., and I don't mind it as much, BUT, there is still no way that I can look at my injection site when the nurse is giving me a shot or taking blood draws. Sometimes I have a hard time turning bad thoughts off in my hard until I remember to ask the Lord to please take these thoughts away, and He does. So glad you shared this very sensitive and hard video. You have touched so many people, and I am glad that you are ready to get back on your mower and continue your good work. Bless you. Just a P.S., I am having my blood work drawn tomorrow...
I’m so glad you are feeling better! u are heaven sent to so many! Good bless!
You are not alone. This happens to so many people every day. You are stronger than you think. The fact that you shared all of what you have been experiencing and going through proves that. It's not easy to admit to yourself that anxiety has taken over your life, much less make a video admitting it to thousands of people. You absolutely rock! You are an inspiration and are to be admired and looked up to. So strong....Thank you.
It takes a brave person to speak about how one is feeling, especially when you find yourself in a difficult position and going through a tough time so well done and feel privileged that you are willing to share this with us. Over the past few years, I have been through something similar and it's only in the past year or so that things have started to improve. Hats off to you for your desire and efforts to do something about it.
You have no idea how many people can relate to what your going through and I want to thank you for sharing ❤❤❤
Taking care of our mental health is just as important as taking care of our bodies. Our brains never stop working even while our bodies get a rest at night. The dark cloud will lift with help. Some of our brains’ chemistry needs some help through medication to regulate our Dopamine and Serotonin.
Hoping your daughter is fully recovered and healthy. Wishing you and your wife good health, peace and joy.
Give yourself some grace and time. Lego is a great way to rest your mind from daily stress. ❤
AL it's Tuna...Bro I live in Indiana. I'm a UA-camr. I like to bust out the DEER on local yards too....but what you do is God's work brother. Not only do people love watching you work hard and help others...People like how humble you are. Glad to see you back at it. Never give up! You are an inspiration to others!
Depression has no reason to take us over, it just happens. So me 68 now and have had all the symptoms that you talk about off and on all my life. I’m 37 years sober and it didn’t fix depression, oh well, we just put one foot in front of the other. I love you more for being so human, not perfect. Your mowing videos have been such a wonderful thing to watch, you’re just naturally a good person, don’t forget that. Love Grandma Gneevah😊
Oh I'm so proud of you! Talking about depression and anxiety is very difficult and for you to get on here and talk about it speaks volumes and makes me want to send you hugs and I am going to keep you in my prayers! I always found that going to the stables and petting horses helped me. And we ARE your friends and we are here for you! I just happened by your channel when I watched you and other guys working with SB mowing and I'm glad I did! Take care and God bless
For me, my depression and anxiety is a daily struggle. Believe it or not, watching your videos and Midwest Magic Cleaner has helped me to get out of my head and do things. Watching others pay it forward is wonderful in helping me think of things I can do. It’s a slow process but it’s working. I hope that you too can find what works for you. It sucks being stuck in your head. You’re not alone, please know that. I wish you the best! Btw, Mack from Midwest Magic Cleaning Loves your channel!! He has mentioned you a couple times.
Me too, for both channnels.
Midwest Magic Cleaning channel is one of my favorites. So much empathy for struggling people, whether mentally or physically. And he does recommend Al’s channel. 👍
Midwest Magic Cleaning got me up & moving one day when I was just sure I couldn’t do anything. You guys help so much more than just what you’re doing in your videos. Anxiety is a real beast, but being brave like this takes away its shadows to hide in ❤
Praise God! Keep declaring that God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of love, power and a sound mind. Declare this whenever the enemy attacks you with worry, anxiety or fear. So glad your family and you are well.
Thank you for the work you do!God bless you and your family.
Lovely comment 🥰
Al, your videos soothe me. The noise and the final results makes me calm and content. I’m happy you’re doing better. Never be embarrassed to be “normal”, we all go through things and it helps to talk about them.😊💜
Welcome back !!! Sending prayers your way
Please take the time to listen to what YOU need and then DO it. Everyone has a limit and sometimes it sneaks up on you and smacks you in the head. This does not mean that you have something broken inside...it means you are human! You are such a lovely giving person Al. Give yourself grace and forgiveness. Big hugs and much love going to you bud.
Brother depression is no joke; it can be utterly debilitating at times, and I can definitely relate! I’ll tell you that talking to a psychiatrist about it can be incredibly helpful, and there are meds that can make life WAY easier to deal with. Try to keep an open mind, and stay positive. We’re all here to support you!
Al, you are awesome, dude! I feel you. I see you. You are doing all the right stuff. Keep plugging away and working on whatever you need to do to feel better. 😊 Thank you for sharing yourself with us. I have so much respect for you. You are loved and appreciated. ❤
“If I didn’t make myself get out of this situation I’d still be in it”--quote of the century.
We’re here for you Al. You are not alone. You’ve been missed. By sharing your struggles, you’ve helped so many. ❤
Al, I appreciate how much willpower it took for you to make this video, to share your struggles. So many of your viewers can certainly relate to what you are experiencing. When I went into that rabbit hole I almost didn't make it back. May I please share with you some instructions my doctor gave me. Simply when you notice your mind is dwelling on negative thoughts, immediately turn them around and recall something that made you laugh, that made you happy. During challenging moments, deep breathe and blow out slowly. Most importantly, hold your loved one close, they are hurting with you. We love you, Al. Take care and we'll see you soon.
Friend Al, cause of your job exposures good to get blood work done. Maybe a simple fix to deficiencies - being proactive about your health is a start. Do let us know. We (I) think you're wonderful & luv the insights you have.
Hugs, & healing energy being sent to you.✨✨
Same… I’m still surprised I survived! ❤❤❤
This is what helped me with major panic attacks, hope it works for someone who needs it…
When it’s getting worse than you are prepared for:
Name 5 things you can SEE
Name 5 things you can HEAR
Name 5 things you can TOUCH
Name 5 things you can SMELL
Name 5 things you can TASTE
I have Complex PTSD, and because of issues with insurance etc., can’t find a Dr in my area. So I’m unmedicated and struggling hard. The first time I tried the technique, it worked so well that I just cried a River… it has never failed. Even during catastrophic accidents.
Praying for everyone battling to stay here…❤❤❤
Praying for you Al. It takes a lot of strength to open up like that. You are an awesome man and praying for God’s strength and covering. ❤
Nice to see you again Al Bladez on you tube,it will be nice to see you mowing lawns and making the yards beautiful
U do so much for so many people, It’s amazing how “anxiety “ can affect u physically. The ironic thing is, I watch your videos to help my anxiety. There is something so calming and rewarding to relax and watch u make magic. We have your back and are praying for your complete recovery. Slow down and enjoy life.❤
Your sensitivity makes you a great human being! A lot if people mistake kindness for weakness. Strong intelligent people show their sensitivity. You sharing your raw feelings inspires me and I'm sure your entire audience! Your baby girl's safety must have had a lot to do with your feelings. Thank you for sharing your true grit, Al!
I understand you 100%. I've been hospitalized twice. Do NOT feel, weird, off, embarrassed, etc for being human. My husband has debilitating anxiety and has agoraphobia. He can only leave the house if I'm with him. Opening up and talking helps! No! Not bored with you talking. Kudos to the Lego set! My hubby builds model cars. Sending you so much love and lots of hugs! Blessings for peace of mind and healing. ❤
Al You are the OG of yard service - like the first guy doing this stuff for FREE!!! NOW you have copy cats everywhere. Gotta stay busy and in the fight. The mind is the most powerful thing in the world - it can give you the highest high or the lowest low. Stay strong!
Thanks for checking in. Prayers. You’re a good man for doing what you do. ❤ god bless your family.
So many of us overthink everything, Al. We can't help it. I certainly understand. You are not alone in this, Al. Our minds can be our worst enemies😢
My adult son does Lego to relax. It's wonderful.
I have a phobia with needles so I totally get it. Stress and fears can wreck havoc with the mind. There is no shame with going through the process as you are. Thank you for being vulnerable and transparent with your subscribers. Take care of yourself, Al. 🙏🏽❤️
Two of my grandchildren have difficulty with the thought that their doctors visit may include needles. I have zero problems with them, I once had to have a skin cancer removed from my leg, the nurse was going to have me lie down, I told her no, I wanted to watch and the doctor said I could. Also no matter how gross something looked or smelled I didn’t gag. Well the no gag thing is gone. I can gag at almost everything now, but needles still don’t bother me, and I have a suggestion Al, I have seen you get stung by many bees, I’ve seen you pick up a snake….that is something I’ll never ever do in my lifetime, but as far as needles and bees, try and think to yourself that if you can handle a bee sting which is actually going to hurt really badly, that you can handle a small stick of a needle which will only last a very few seconds. I’m a diabetic, my doctor had me on Ozempic for awhile, I didn’t like the side effects and went off it pretty quickly, but I have to say that the needle on that syringe was the smallest I’ve ever seen and I didn’t see how there could possibly
be a channel inside it to carry the medication, but there was. Too bad every needle isn’t that small. I’m guessing the needles diameter was a fourth the size of an eyelash! Doctors should start requesting those! All this being said, I’m glad to hear that you’re doing better, the family is doing good and your daughter is well! 🙏🏻
GOD BLESS YOU & MUCH LOVE!!! THANK YOU FOR LETTING US KNOW & YES YOU WERE MEANT TO GO THROUGH THIS!!! CONTINUED PRAYERS & YOU ARE SUCH A STRONG MAN!!! BEING ABLE TO VOICE THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!! HERE FOR YOU!!! 🙏❤️🙏
Al , you need to wear a dust mask while working , and start taking chelated magnesium before you go to bed at night , it will help you sleep better and will help with you anxiety
Rumination (dwelling on things, overthinking) is not fun. I’ve dealt with depression/PTSD for the last 50 years, and can empathize with you. Thank you for sharing. You are pulling back the curtains on mental health issues, and that is a difficult yet very important action on your part. Thank you for doing this.
I agree 100%! ❤
Anxiety and depression are BEASTS and they look different for everyone. I'm glad to hear you're doing what you need to take care of yourself. You don't owe anyone any explanations, but sharing your story definitely helps other people. xoxo
Definitely!
Perfectly said.
You sound like a kind person I learned from watching some guys cutting lawns and got hooked on it, you look very young, get your health in order, maybe in your mind no worries I’m 70 years old and I know it will get better for you.
Man you are an angel for the things you do for people, hope all the best for you , I have a lot of the same things happening to me and it’s hard sometimes to understand .
We are living in crazy times but people doing things like you do to help people gives us
all hope that God has plans for things to come .
All the best to you and love and prayers 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Al, you are not alone. Ive been struggling for over a year with this very thing and people dont understand that it can be almost crippling. It can feel impossible to pull yourself out of, but weekly therapy has helped some. Thanks for sharing this part of your struggle. It helps many of us feel like we are not going through this alone.❤
Al, let me tell you why I started following you for a very long time. 1. Is because I love the way you are gracefully so happy helping someone or just anyone that needs it. 2. I love your beautiful attitude which is always the same and even when someone stole from you, you didn’t show how upset you were but continue to help someone in need of your help. This is what you called graceful Blessings. I have to admit that I was so sad that there was something medical going on with you, and that you didn’t want to share. I am so happy about your test results and is looking forward to following and continuing to pray for you and family. I love you Al. God Bless Love’s 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
All you are awesome what you do for people is amazing. So pleased you are coming back xx
Thanks for letting us know you’re okay. It takes a special person to do what you do. You help so many people! I love watching your videos. We all love you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 we’re glad you’re back❤❤❤
Love your work Al. ❤
I’m an EAP clinician and I see hundreds of people in the clinic with anxiety, including health anxiety. I’m so stoked for you that you’ve found a way through to do something about it. It’s so important to get your health checked out and attend to what is needed. Do everything you can to calm down your autonomic nervous system and set yourself up with a green prescription of good food, sleep, nutrition, exercise and someone to talk to everyday about how you’re feeling. It will help.
You’ve got this Al, you’ll get through it. You’re already helping people by sharing your lived experiences about anxiety to inspire others to do something about their anxiety too. ❤
Thank you for sharing. Sometimes our guardians, guides and ministering angels give us many signs that we need a time out. I am curious about your age, as I believe 28 is the first year of true adult life, and ages 26-29 are the toughest self examination years. Also, you are obviously a very sensitive being and full of compassion for others; finding the compassion for ourselves, and self love is a lifetime work. When difficult thoughts take up too much time and FEAR (False Evidence Appearing Real) decreases our sense of well being, keeping your hands busy is the wisest thing you can do. Games, puzzles, and I love watching Lego Masters. As you engage in a reset, I can see you fine tuning what is right for you, as an individual. Be well and have a prosperous and abundant 2024.
So well said Sparrow! Your advice is excellent! Isn't Al a awesome guy? Strong yet but vulnerable. Prayers your way brother. Keep up the great work! 💙🙏
Take Care!
Hi AL I'm not one to comment on videos but I felt compelled to let know that you have taken the first steps in dealing with your anxiety. I have witnessed this with one of my sons who has had depression and anxiety for 11 years . He now has a family and is doing much better. Talking with friends and family helps, but sometimes professional support is needed to get over the hurdles. Don't be embarrassed ❤ We all need love and acceptance. You are truly a beautiful soul. God bless you , your amazing wife and family . 😊 you got this
You were missed for sure. I am happy that you are better and I thank you for sharing with everyone. It has probably been a blessing to so many people going through something like this. God has used you to bless others in countless ways. Thanks for being you and an inspiration to us all!
Your not alone buddy!! It helps to talk about it🙏 I will wait as long as you need....but can't wait till you feel better🙏🥰 everything's going to be all right 🥰
Al, I hope you know that the reason we all watch you is not just your skill at mowing but your humility, honesty, empathy and kindness toward your family and others. You are a special human being. My daughter, grandson and husband have all suffered episodes of anxiety and you described it perfectly. You pull away and you can’t get out of your own head or take that first step in getting help. So glad you pushed through your terrible fear of getting labs done and hope this helps you get back to where you want to be. ❣️
Al....you and your videos have changed this world.... literally....you have made such an impact on the YT community..... anxiety is crippling...don't dismiss it...proud of you for getting that blood work ..... Dig into your faith because God is using you to reach His children....Praying for you Sir❤ and your family❤❤❤
I'm happy you are working it thru-btw your home is absolutely beautiful!
I’ve been doing exactly what you’re talking about and nothing about it is easy or pleasant to go through but your break hurry and talking about it inspire me so thank you
Al, I also battle anxiety and have been on medication for 20 years (it has helped). You aren't alone. I'm proud of you for getting up and getting the help you need. ❤
Health over views brother ❤. We're the Bladez fam and we're here for you no matter what you can talk all you need to we're here to listen and maybe not all of us can relate but just talking and having positive feedback helps wonders. I don't really want to say it but I'm at my all time low as well homeless living in a shelter with my wife and 3 kids so much depression and anxiety but I can't give up I keep pushing and here this year I'm making a huge risk to move out of Chattanooga TN to Florida. My sincerest Blessings to you and your family.
May the road rise to meet you.......
I love what you do. Very happy you are comming back. I will be praying for you.
I love the fact that you're sharing a bit of what you're going through. I went through a bad anxiety time that I was in the same boat you were. I decided coloring was the best thing for me mental health is so important I love that you helped so many people, but you have to make sure that you get back on Track period Therapy really helped for me And it's nothing two be ashamed about please hang in there because you will get through the other side
Hang in there brother. I went through a battle with depression and anxiety for a few years. I finally decided to go to the doctor and get checked out. My blood work came back good. The Dr put me on medication for my anxiety. It changed my life and now I’m 100% better. Thanks for sharing man. God Bless you and your family. You and your daughter are both in my prayers. Love ya brother. 🙌🙌
Do you mind me asking what medication you are taking? My 25 year old sun is suffering from anxiety and panic attacks. He has a dr appointment but not until February
When I finally went to the dr for my terrible anxiety, I was afraid to take the 1st anti-anxiety pill...don't ask me why; but anyway, after I felt the relief after the first dose, I cried so hard with relief.
@@KSM295.my son is on fluoxetine at a low dose. I’m on sertraline for anxiety and that helped me get the anxiety at a manageable level
So relieved to know you're okay, Al. When you become overwhelmed with anxiety, remember that God can lift that weight, if you'll only ask Him to. Praying for your continued mental clarity. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️
🙏🏽 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽Amen!!
Love you man! Take care of you. Looks like you have great support at home. Things like this can hit you out of the blue.
Bless your heart. Taking a complete break when you need to is the best thing to do.
Al, you are braver than you know, wiser than you think, and a humble, positive role model for the 1000s of us that suffer the same
mental health challenges as you.
I have to put one foot in front of the other.
You have a vast amount of people that care about you now, and cheer you on, and that includes me.❤
Glad you are feeling better. I'm 68 years old with multiple sclerosis for nearly 40 years. Anxiety is a recurring problem for me because my disability. My dependency on others who help me causes anxiety because I've always been independent. My anxiety escalated with each additional health-related event until I thought it was too much to bear. My faith in God and talking to a mental health professional has gotten me through so many times of anxiety and depression. You are stronger than you know! You are a kind, generous, thoughtful and insightful young man. Love and believe in yourself! Praying for you and your family. God bless you. ❤🙏😊
I hope you family is doing well
I just saw my first video from your mowing channel today. Loved it. Sorry to hear you have felt unwell. Keep going. Life is full of highs and lows.
Don’t be afraid of seeking therapy. We want you to be your best self. You have been missed, but your health comes first.
*We all get sucked into garbage on the internet.
Anxiety is real and can absolutely cripple you. I really appreciate your honesty and bravery for talking about it. Sending prayers for you and your family 🙏
Glad you're back
