This was a very difficult video for me to release. Please respect that in your comments. Do not embarrass yourself by adding to the stigma around mental health. If you don't understand the severity, please read the links in the description. By the way, I forgot to mention - my dogs will be well looked after!
Mental health issues should be dealt with seriously. I support mental health awareness. Big respect for you Kumander D for bravely sharing this with us. I hope everything will be fine. Just keep positive.
COMMANDER DAOT, GOOD TO SEE YOU VLOGGING ALL THE WAY TO YOUR BEAUTIFUL HOMETOWN. THE BACKGROUND MUSIC WHILE TRAVELING PH SOUNDS CREEPY! AND UPON REACHING YOUR DESTINATION TO UK THE SOUNDS WERE CHANGE LIKE YOU WERE GRADUATING TO COLLEGE AND GETTING YOUR DIPLOMA ON STAGE. LOL ☺️
SO GREAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH BRO. SENDING YOU HEALTHY VIBES AND MORE STRENGTH!! SEE YOU PUHON BACK IN THE PHILIPPINES! WE ARE ALWAYS HERE FOR YOU MAN. CAN TALK TO US ANYTIME! STAY STRONG BRO!
Completely respect and admiration for you releasing such a personal side of your struggles. I’ve battle BPD for years and it’s no joke. By you discussing this has helped me tonight. Please stay strong and seek after the help available to you! Prayers my friend!
well it take some ball to leave everything behind and beloved for save your self ! nothing much to say except RESPECT to your Good Self and soon a better days coming ! Welcome back to the Philippines healthy soon 💫💯👍👍👍
Takes some real courage to speak up about these type of things, sometimes UA-cam can work as a therapy to talk about things because your talking to real people in a weird way. Which is great in many cases, now it's time for the pros to help ya out brad and probably right decision get that help back at home. Now on positive side, I know Wales has a weird language like mine and heard the longest word in the world is from there? or a town? I demand and propper Wales pronunciation clip of that :) (This one Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch)
In a weird way this is great therapy. I'm blessed to have been given this opportunity! BTW I am definitely going to Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerchwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch before I go back haha
Kumander, my gosh. Thank you for your courage. I'm not good at talking about my "stuff". I know so many people going through variations of your journey, some BPD also. You talking about it here, it's important for other people going through their mental health issues, myself included. It's important for those who know someone working on their mental health. I started watching Kyle, Kulas, because of my love for Mindanao. Through his posts I was introduced to you and your posts. Like so many out here, I almost feel like I know you guys. I'm so thankful that wood broke. I hope someday we'll all be on Mindanao at the same time and I can take you guys to lunch, or at least buy you drinks... whatever. I just want to thank you all for sharing the Philippines and for sharing the inside of your lives, like this video. Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us. I know there are many out here who will be inspired by you. One step at a time. One breath at a time. Then one more. Sometimes that's the best I can do. Hang in there sir.
Oh Anselm. You were going through so much pain and anguish and we had no idea. You cheered us up and made laugh when you were struggling so hard just to hold your head above water. And now you’ve shared with us something extremely difficult to share. These equate to strength and and courage in my book, qualities that will give you a lot of headstart in your healing. So thankful that you are seeking help. Tens of thousands of us are rooting for you every step of the way. Love and light.
I speak on behalf of all your followers in saying how proud we are of you. I pray that your return to Newport brings healing and the peace to you. I'm a Swansea boy married to my Cebuano wife and recently made the trip home, I can honestly say it has done me the world of good. you are amazing mate, stay strong and get well soon.
As a mother of a 19 y/o son struggling with depression and anxiety for the past few years, a big “Thank You” to you for sharing this part of your life with us. It gives me hope that, in the future,he will be able to cope like you and all the other people here sharing their mental health journey. He always tells me that, the most important thing I can do for him is to just “listen”. No advices, no judgment, no what ifs but just to simply listen. And I wanted you to know, Kumander, that I am listening, like the rest of the people watching this video. We are all sending you our silent support. God bless you.
@@arlene1169 God made us from his image. My grandma once told me to be nice to everyone you never know if God is in them. Therefore, we must help one another in this world that once was a paradise but no more. Mar Dem made a good point, Kumader Daot can use his UA-cam platform (if he wants too) to voice out his frustration or anxiety, but it all depends on his personality.
I've been following Kyle for years and also your videos from the get go. In fact, I watch quite a bit of UA-cam to get my mind off things. As a business owner, I've got so much going on, that I need some distractions at times. Over the years I've watched thousands of videos and never wrote a single comment. Why now? Because you have shown incredible bravery here, which I find truly inspirational. Also, because you are living my dream and are letting me share in it through your videos. And lastly, because we are all a little (or a lot) Daot. You, sir, are a hero and I can only tip my hat to you. I can absolutely relate to what you've been going through and wish you all the best, as you try to get your mind back in order. Who knows, maybe if my dream of visiting the Philippines finally comes true (we meant to go in 2020), our paths may cross one day. Until then, hang in there, stay who you are and keep uploading your great content. Like so many others, I'll be watching, relating and hoping with you. All the best from Germany.
I came across your channel only yesterday. I immediately liked your videos. I know the Philippines rather well and you are charismatic. As UA-camr you managed to transform your condition into something very powerful, others might not be able to. Build on it!
I'm american, I've been here for 5 years now and I love it here most people here are awesome,you have bad experiences every where you have to deal with it and support the ones you love during hard times no matter where your at,,,the Philippines here is my second home and I will defend her like my own country,,I love the United States Of America,and God bless the Philippines
@@georgemelo2443 I'm from Florida,the heat and humidity is far worse there,, I've never seen it over 96 degrees here there's almost always a breeze,you can say it's perfect for me, though I do miss the cool weather I've aclimated to some degree here so I do get a bit chilly when it hits around 75,, Lol.
@@rexhayes1719 Same thing I was going to comment. In regards to heat, I don't consider the Philippines to be particularly hot compared to most of the other places I have lived. It seldom gets above 95 degrees Fahrenheit. Where I currently live it is over 95 for 7 months a year, and over 100 for 5 of those 7 months. The Philippines is pretty high on the humidity level, but it still isn't anymore humid than places I have lived in the USA.
@@richardmiddleton5984 yes your right in florida it's pretty bad especially the humidity it's usually over 100 percent after a storm and you'll have a thunderstorm almost everyday they have a rainy season here too but the humidity isn't as bad,,I'm in Manila I don't know about the other islands they may get hotter
It was very brave of you to make this video. Most people, myself included, don't know enough about mental health issues and don't realise how badly the current situation can affect people. Take the time you need, get the help you need, be with your family and you can be sure that there are people out here who wish only the best for you.
Having a filipina wife and have lived in Manila for 3 years these vlogs of you and all these others are our pressure relief here in germany..we love them all. And we plan one day to return for good..now watching this video and realising under how much pain u must have been and that only some weak wood is the reason u are still here is shocking..please know everybody loves Kumander Daot. You did the right thing and went home for proper help.. very couragios to make this video and it shows you are not giving up. Find your inner strength and keep fighting our hearts are with you!
Leaving your wife, fur babies, and everything during this pandemic to get help takes extreme courage. I teared up because mental health isn't taken/received as a serious illness and it's hard to get proper treatment - there's a negative stigma with depression but those who truly love you will always have your back and be by your side no matter what. You'll be back stronger than ever!
So proud of you for doing something for your own well being. I was a big fan when I first saw you on Kyle's video ( cause you're just an authentic and funny guy) and now, I am your biggest fan. Mental health is so important to me as a health care worker and as a human being. I have seen the devastation it caused to a lot fo people and families especially children. I think you are put on You Tube for a bigger purpose and one of that is to increase awareness of this very critical issue. Sending prayers, love, positive and healing thoughts. God bless and one day at a time. We are here to support you! You got this!!!
I feel you kumander and i I know where you're coming from. On several ocassions (five) I attempted to end my life between the years 2005-2008. I have been diagnosed with manic depression and being bipolar did not help. I have highest of highs, and lowest of lows. My coping mechanism was mountaineering/hiking then. It made me see the beauty in things. What also helped me was opening up and telling my story from the people I meet when hiking. Another thing that helpful to me was the support group In my wife and my cousin. From the very beginning I opened it to her and didn't hide those things (wife). She does a hell of a fine job. It's not easy, I still encounter highest and highs and lowest of lows, I still fight my inner demons, but the moment I tell her and she felt that, she would immedistely help me divert my attention to other things. Kapit lang kumander, If ever you need someone to talk to, hit a message, I am willing to listen. Sabi nga nila, it takes one to know one. Stay safe brother.
Take care of yourself and I can imagine how you feel. I have been living in the Philippines for 6 years and understand how tough life can be over here. What really helps me is I don't want to ever see my kids have to tell friends or acquaintances that their Dad committed suicide. I understand the pain they would feel and all the damage I would cause for being selfish like that. I hope if you read this it might help your perspective...It's a permanent solution to a temporary feeling...Get better you have a lot to give in this world...
Bravery, courage and humility; 3 things I could say about this vlog. Thanks for sharing the real you and not a fake persona usually portrayed on UA-cam. This is real life; Real struggles. We all have our crosses to bear. But I’m sure by this vlog, you have helped others. It takes humility to recognize and admit you need help. Courage and bravery to actually take the step to do something about it it. Sending prayers your way. One step at a time. YOU GOT THIS! 💪🏽
I was so sad to hear your story about how you almost died a few months ago. The world is so much better with you here. Please always know how many people care and want the best for you. Take care of yourself.
A father will hug its son when he realizes the young boy he knew has become a man. I think your dad has learned a lot about you by watching your YT videos, I bet he is extremely proud of you and how hard you work and made a life for yourself. You have learned to overcome, persevere and keep moving forward no matter what while maintaining a positive attitude. We are all proud of you! Have a safe trip. PH will be waiting for your return. Thank you for sharing.
So glad you didn’t delay to get help. Hope to see you when i get back to the Philippines too. We can speak bisaya together and make some awkward scenes for the local people haha. We need to straighten Kulas’ accent aron mahimu cya pure nga bisaya lol. Ingat pare
Lalo kung sa manila traffic pollution limitadong open space at parke mall lng mapapasyalan mo tapos yung environment ibang iba din lalo kung dito sya nakatira lalo syang maiistress
@@junespanol1932 at nakakahiyang ugali ng Pilipino ang manloko ng ibang Lahi..gaya ng mga pinpalabas ni Raffy Tulfo..kakahiyang ugali ng Pilipino is Gahaman...pasintabi sa mga matitino
Sana dun sya sa provinces nagstay.. mas welcoming and friendly mga tao at iilan lang yung scammers lol. Si kulas and Bret like their stay in CDO.. the city of golden friendship.
@@myrahnaif3163 Kahit saan kultura meron yan. Nadidiin lang kasi naibabalita. Mas weird mas magandang ibalita, pag maganda ang balita walang interesadong magbasa. Halimbawa ang UA-cam, di ba mas maraming viewers, likes at subscribers ang mga weird contents.
Perfect example of “You Never Know What People Are Going Through.” Thank you for sharing your plight. If you are feeling anxious, go live in You Tube and you will have people you can talk to to encourage you.
I feel you sir. I was suffering with anxiety, panic attacks and depression for 3 years. I've been with doctors and medications with no luck. But Jesus heal me in just 3 days, instantly! Now I am free with this illness for almost 4 years until now. Stay strong sir! There's always a way... I will pray for you.
@@wanderingandroid it's the truth and I know you will not believe it... I don't believe on Him also before but now I cannot deny it. I still tremble and cry because of joy when I remember the day when He set me free. I am here testifying the truth even the world will hate me.
The hardest part is revealing to the world with your condition. Very brave of you stay positive and strong be around positivity and you’ll get through this.
I have a tons of respect for you and you did the right thing by going back to the UK to seek support and treatment. Even during these crazy times. Hopefully, the vaccines will help slow and eventually stop the spread of this virus and you will be able to go back home ASAP. There are a lot of things that we have in common... I also was not very close with my father, specifically when I was a teen. I joined the army, mostly to get away from my parents. However, my father died of cancer before I could make amends with him. I never got the hug that you got and I miss him every day even though that was 30 years ago. Your story is so very inspiring and I look forward to every one of your vlogs. My wife is from Bislig City and I dream of the day that I can retire there in the Philippines. I thought about moving there before retirement age and trying to start a business but I knew that it would be more trouble than it’s worth. You are very talented as a vlogger and I really think that you could be very successful just doing that. Your business ventures are indeed adding to the interest of your posts but I would hate for you to have to keep losing $$$ and your sanity just to make the vlogs. Stay strong, buddy. We’re all pulling for you!
It took courage doing this video. Keep this courage to see you though these hard times for you, there is always light at the end of the tunnel. Get well. God bless.
The best part of this blog is that you have a round trip ticket back to where were you called home...I'm pretty sure a lots of people especially your wife and pets and the people around you in Cateel and Davao City misses you now. But your decision going back home to Newport which is essential to support and get the treatment to fix your health condition, is so much respected. Just looking forward for your good recovery and hope to see you in your future blogs...I want to see Kumander Daot back in action...soon!! Peace out..
Yes sir wil you can share your life to sir daot I pray help to be more stronger when sir daot heard about your story lifes. Yes everyone have storyline in their life so trusted to the creator heaven and earth coz only he Jesus christ can give you life and became a happy lifes. To God be the glory and blessed the Philippine Lord Jesus Christ Amen.
Stay strong Kumander I myself had suicidal thoughts before, I almost committed suicide 3 times when I was 19 yrs old that was 7 yrs ago. But one day I told myself I don't want this kind of thoughts anymore, so step by step I made myself strong and still continuously trying my best to be better than I was before. It's a marathon not a sprint. I believe there's always something great to look forward into life, you can do this commander take your time and comeback stronger as ever
You are one brave person kumander for taking this decision, This times really are very difficult I just hope you find healing in some way, we may not know you personally but your fans are here and we are here to give love and support. Take your time healing and I pray for your healing. Amping permi and as kulas always says keep that "power on".
You are gonna help a lot of people suffering from mental illness by you speaking up... such respect for you commander daot! Stay strong! You have a purpose!
You are one brave Welshman. Thank you for inspiring many who are in a similar state and circumstance. People often deny the problem because of the unfair stigma it carries. You have acknowledged it which is half of the solution. Well done and keep on keeping on.
This is very admiringly courageous of you! Not everyone can openly talk about this sensitive topic but you did and thank you for doing that. You are not alone in this fight. Hang in there, Kumander! Stay strong! Nothing is more important than your health.
Happy new year kummander. I’m one your loyal fans. I work in healthcare as an RN and mental health is the most underserved area in healthcare. That’s good that your getting help. I love your channel and is a subscriber since you started. I look forward to your shows 2021. You give joy to so many people because of your humor and you give many people something to look forward to and that’s a gift. Happy new year kummander.
Before Anselm started vlogging, I was there seen him the great potentials in creating positive UA-cam content so I kept on commenting that he needs to try vlogging too. I saw different kind of positive vibes of him that I saw in Kyle too and huge thanks to Kyle for introducing Anselm us. When he started the vlogging, I felt proud of this man. And after watching this vlog, I got emotional learning the all the traumatic and stigma that he had to go through. ANSLEM, BRO, I AM SO PROUD OF YOU -- FOR STAYING STRONG TO STAY ALIVE, FOR SPEAKING UP AND SHARING THIS TO ALL OF US. ANSELM, PLEASE KNOW THAT YOU HAVE INSPIRED EVEN MORE PEOPLE ABOUT YOU AND YOUR LIFE. PLEASE STAY STRONG AND FIGHT. THOUSANDS OF US ARE SUPPORTING YOU.
I feel you, Mate. I am a veteran and I got PTSD. Mental health is a serious issue that only those who suffer from it get to understand. Talking about it in the open takes courage and I admire you for that. Your actions inspired me and even made me smile and gave me hope for a better and brighter future. I will do my best to fight it. I know I am not alone. I'll pray for you. Together and many others like us, we will heal.
You are so brave for opening up! I am a huge mental advocate and so happy that people are using social media as an avenue to educate people about thei mental health condition. You just gained a new subscriber!
How many of you know Kumander is Anselm Plummer ... this amazing photographer!!! Google !! I’m a photographer that lived in Boracay 4yrs. Lived thru many highs & lows to a point I wanted to end it. We all have a story. I cried watching this vlog. Moved me. But more!! Anselm is amazing photographer!! No wonder you UA-cam vlogs are great!! You have this amazing eye for detail. You are right where you should be. This is your therapy... seeing how much this experience has effected others! ♥️🇵🇭🙏🏻
You’re openness is already an act of humility and at the same time of greatness... you have been an inspiration for me to cope with things I need to deal also with life right now and made worse because of the COVID19... I am very grateful of your genuineness, I WILL PRAY FOR YOU.
Such a touching story, I'm compelled to write my thanks and congratulations for opening up about your troubles. I hope by doing so and seeing the positive comments here, it lightens your load and you know that there are people around that world that are cheering for you.
Hello ,Kumander. I am from Canada. As I am hearing your stories, my heart touches me and won’t stop my eyes to drop tears. We do have struggles in life in a different ways. But what I can tell and doing every time is to be closer to God. Talk to him all the time thru prayers. He is our ultimate source that find ways to give us hope and encouragement by using people to keep up going which is evident by by your parents . I was touched when you said that you’re Dad hugged you unexpectedly that means he cares for no matter what. I do not have a Dad for so long as he was gone. Keep in mind that you are lucky and special person And we will all get through this big pandemic problem .
I perfectly understand what your going through right now. I’m a filipino who work at nyc in a psych facility, It’s tough but I know u can overcome it. coming out and saying that you need help is a start. hang in there kumander daot💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 fighting!
I can actually relate to your situation. I have some mental health issues myself and I’m struggling with it each day and has even gotten worst because of the pandemic. And have also have thought of ending my life and thankful I didn’t. You are a brave man to admit this and to be able to talk about it is not easy, but you are setting a good example to your viewers and sending a positive message to everyone. Don’t be afraid to take a break and reach out in difficult times like this. Thanks for sharing your story and stay safe. You are such an inspiration to all of us . Sending love and support from a Filipino subscriber in London 🙏🙏🙏
Kumander Anselm, talking about your mental health journey takes courage, and is a big step towards healing. I applaud you. I’m dealing with PTSD, and talking about my fears and anxieties to someone is helping me to not only face them, but bring to surface coping skills that have helped me, as well as learning new ones. Thank you for sharing your life story. You’re not alone in your journey to healing. Prayers and good vibes going your way good sir. Stay strong!
I admire your bravery and openness in talking about this, Kumander. You've definitely made the correct decision by making your health the priority. That's so awesome that your Dad hugged you at the airport! Enjoy spending this time with your parents!
"I'm gonna go back and fight another day" This is a mature statement and a positive note. I'm rooting for you on this fight Kumander! Laban lang, you know you're not DAOT in real life. :D
Yes good words! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Kumander! You’re NOT daot! Moving to a different country and starting a business! That right there is a true survivor and a fighter! Just always look at the brighter side of things and don’t let anyone make you feel like you’re anything less!
Tight hugs from me brother. Im really in tears watching your vlog. My mom had also mental issues and we family also went through her suffering. As we grow older we undertood alreadg her condition and everybody is helping mom to take her regular medications so she will not have attacks. Thats very brave of you kumander. You can make it. We will always be there for you. Just hang on there❤
KD, get well soon... you are so brave... Just imagine a jolly and happy person, is struggling with a different battle... Thats why we should be kind to all people, who would know, they are taking refuge in our company and that was their way to fight their battle... Hope and praying for your immediate recovery and waiting for you to come back in Philippines... stay DAOT and share good vibes... your family there is waiting....
❤️ Home is where your heart is. Family above all, is the best support therapy. All the best Kumander Daot. Gimingaw na sad ko sa amo. Pinoy living here in the UK, btw.
That must having taken lots of courage to be so honest about what you’ve been going through these last few months ,very emotional vlog . Glad fate wanted you to return back to the UK to reset your life . You are an inspiration to many , but time to concentrate on your well being mate . Lots of love from Cebu ,take care 👍
Kumander just so you know, my Dad and the rest of my family are huge fans of yours! In fact we were planning to buy your merchandise. We are saddened that you had to leave the Philippines but we are happy for you are taking the brave step to total healing and freedom from your illness. We are praying for you. Know that your life matters and makes people happy like our family in the midst of this pandemic. Please do not stop vlogging, we will always stay in tune even when you are in Wales. Keep safe and God bless!
I admire you man for your bravery and for speaking out. It’s tough and not so many people would admit about their mental health condition. Especially when you are a social media influencer. This video will help many us viewers understand other people, and whatever they are going through. fight Kumander Daot, we are with you 100%!
i stumbled across this just randomly and i didnt expect you to talk about BPD. this made me cry because i know exactly how you feel.. its a constant day to day struggle. i was diagnosed 3 years ago and i felt as if no one understood me.. so thank you for this.
Hi Kumander, we’ll claim this year as a start of better years ahead of us. You will gain back all you’ve lost, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel! God bless! 🙏❤️
Only Jesus can fill up your emptiness. Only Jesus can set your mind free. A friendly advice: Find a Bible believing group and experience the genuine love of God and complete healing not only in your physical, mental but also your spiritual aspects.
You know, as I'm attending a live stream catholic mass in youtube, I remembered you and included you in my special intentions for the mass. May you find comfort and healing and wish you good luck when you're ready to get back soon!
Anselm, thank you for having the strength of mind to take yourself back to Newport and share this incredibly difficult chapter. We wish you all the best for your healing process. Hopefully vlogging now and back in Phils will give you more strength and purpose, we all certainly enjoy your docu-story style. There are so many people here in the comments that appreciate and support you, whatever you choose to do when you get back to Phils. Until then, enjoy family time and get strong, hopefully the rules for getting back into Phils will be ready when you are. Take care bud.
Dear Anselm, Happy New Year and 2021 is going to be great for you. You made me laughed the first time I saw you in Nov 2019 Vlogs of #Becomingfilipino. I was so Impressed with your Bisaya language and I was surprised you had a fishpond at Cateel. My first impression was, this guy is funny, interesting and I noticed your laughs were different. Something I could see within but like you said you have a coping mechanism and you were doing great and strong as you can. I cried watching this video, I can feel your pain and I admired you for sharing with it us. Please, talk to us as long as you needed and I will pray for your safety and healthy 2021. We Love you KD> Power On ! Keep living because you an Angel to us. With Love from Las Vegas.
Your parents must be immensely proud of the young brave man they have brought up to be strong and ultimately a survivor. I respect how incredibly difficult this must have been for you to go through and share with your subscribers. All credit to you young man and if this helps even one person with the same condition then it’s an enormous achievement, more power to you son. May god bless and take care of you every step of the way on this journey.......
Hi Kumander D, i really admired your bravery to talk about what you are going through, a total respect from here, just hang on there and everything will be OK. Happy new year from Singapore.
Praying with you Kumander 🙏 You may not know it, you may not see it..but YOU really make a difference in this world that cannot be replaced. I commend you for being so brave to face it and make to the decision to open up about it. Accepting and addressing the current state of your mental health is so fearless and admirable. Pls continue sharing, you don't have to struggle in silence. Remember your Filipino family and friends are waiting for your stronger comeback. Pls know that you are adorable even in your not-so-good moments. Keep on praying, you can do this together with your family.
Butangi! You had me glued to your video until the end Daot... something i normally don't have the patience to do. Lipay ko nga naka uli ka ug nagpatambal. You needed that break so badly. You can forget us in the meantime and enjoy home and old friends. Like i said before you left, we'll always be a shoulder for you to lean on. Amping sa covid pud dong. ❤
Thank you for sharing with us mate. It's difficult to do, Jane and I also have and do experience mental health problems. We understand and you have made the right decision. Your father will always be there for you as will everyone who loves you. We are next door in Bristol. If we can help in any way just shout. Take care, keep safe and know we are all here for you 😊
This was your best decision! Take a break and when you do go back to the Philippines. I think you should sell your business. That is the catalyst of your stress.
Proud of you being proactive in dealing with your situation. Know that someone in Houston is praying for your well being and strength to carry on. You are in a good place with family right now and hopefully you find the light to find yourself and to find God in your heart. The Philippines will always welcome you in due time.
That’s brave of you to talk about your condition, so much respect to you. I’m glad you have a good grasp of the situation and you know what to do to get help and resolve the problem. I can see positivity in you. That’s a good thing. Stay safe . Feel better.
Kumander Daot, you touched my heart. Thank you for opening up and shared what's going on with you. I wanna give you a big hug!! I can't stop my tears from falling as I type this. You are very respectful to the Filipinos. You are right with your decision to go home. You felt loved right away from your dad, and it's important to you right now. You will be fine, do what you got to do to heal. You are always welcome to the Philippines as your second home. Filipinos will love you more now. You've helped the people around you; you gave them employment too. That's a big deal to us. Thank you. God bless you in your everyday life. Remember, God loves you. He's just there waiting for you to call upon him. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. We love you.
This was a very difficult video for me to release.
Please respect that in your comments. Do not embarrass yourself by adding to the stigma around mental health. If you don't understand the severity, please read the links in the description.

Mental health issues should be dealt with seriously. I support mental health awareness. Big respect for you Kumander D for bravely sharing this with us. I hope everything will be fine. Just keep positive.
Woooh.... is that the reason why they call you "daot"?

Big respect for sharing this very personal part of you. I admire you for being brave and raising awareness. All the love Kumander! Power on!

Hi Bret, any more vlogs coming?
Takes some real courage to speak up about these type of things, sometimes UA-cam can work as a therapy to talk about things because your talking to real people in a weird way. Which is great in many cases, now it's time for the pros to help ya out brad and probably right decision get that help back at home. Now on positive side, I know Wales has a weird language like mine and heard the longest word in the world is from there? or a town? I demand and propper Wales pronunciation clip of that :) (This one Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch)
In a weird way this is great therapy. I'm blessed to have been given this opportunity!
BTW I am definitely going to Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerchwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch before I go back haha
It is the longest word for a town name in the world, but isn't a real word!
It was made up to attract tourists.
"Brad" bisdak kaayo 😊😊😊
@@KumanderDaot binisayaa kuno na'g type nga town kumander. Lubid man ato utok ug dila ana. 😅😅😅
Hello kumander Strong 💪🏼
I hope you saw my comment and be encouraged 🙏🏼💪🏼❤️🇵🇭🇩🇰
Kumander, my gosh. Thank you for your courage. I'm not good at talking about my "stuff". I know so many people going through variations of your journey, some BPD also. You talking about it here, it's important for other people going through their mental health issues, myself included. It's important for those who know someone working on their mental health. I started watching Kyle, Kulas, because of my love for Mindanao. Through his posts I was introduced to you and your posts. Like so many out here, I almost feel like I know you guys. I'm so thankful that wood broke. I hope someday we'll all be on Mindanao at the same time and I can take you guys to lunch, or at least buy you drinks... whatever. I just want to thank you all for sharing the Philippines and for sharing the inside of your lives, like this video. Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us. I know there are many out here who will be inspired by you. One step at a time. One breath at a time. Then one more. Sometimes that's the best I can do. Hang in there sir.
Oh Anselm. You were going through so much pain and anguish and we had no idea. You cheered us up and made laugh when you were struggling so hard just to hold your head above water. And now you’ve shared with us something extremely difficult to share. These equate to strength and and courage in my book, qualities that will give you a lot of headstart in your healing. So thankful that you are seeking help. Tens of thousands of us are rooting for you every step of the way. Love and light.
I speak on behalf of all your followers in saying how proud we are of you. I pray that your return to Newport brings healing and the peace to you. I'm a Swansea boy married to my Cebuano wife and recently made the trip home, I can honestly say it has done me the world of good. you are amazing mate, stay strong and get well soon.
This is the first video I've watched on your channel and I have so much respect for you already. Appreciate you sharing.
Me too. I like 👍 it, it’s awesome 🤩
As a mother of a 19 y/o son struggling with depression and anxiety for the past few years, a big “Thank You” to you for sharing this part of your life with us. It gives me hope that, in the future,he will be able to cope like you and all the other people here sharing their mental health journey. He always tells me that, the most important thing I can do for him is to just “listen”. No advices, no judgment, no what ifs but just to simply listen. And I wanted you to know, Kumander, that I am listening, like the rest of the people watching this video. We are all sending you our silent support. God bless you.
I'm happy seeing you go back home and safe....
Whenever you feel anxious commander just pickup the camera and start talking. Thousands of people will be listening, we care for you commander!
Trust no man but God.
@@arlene1169 God made us from his image. My grandma once told me to be nice to everyone you never know if God is in them. Therefore, we must help one another in this world that once was a paradise but no more. Mar Dem made a good point, Kumader Daot can use his UA-cam platform (if he wants too) to voice out his frustration or anxiety, but it all depends on his personality.
I've been following Kyle for years and also your videos from the get go. In fact, I watch quite a bit of UA-cam to get my mind off things. As a business owner, I've got so much going on, that I need some distractions at times. Over the years I've watched thousands of videos and never wrote a single comment. Why now? Because you have shown incredible bravery here, which I find truly inspirational. Also, because you are living my dream and are letting me share in it through your videos. And lastly, because we are all a little (or a lot) Daot. You, sir, are a hero and I can only tip my hat to you. I can absolutely relate to what you've been going through and wish you all the best, as you try to get your mind back in order. Who knows, maybe if my dream of visiting the Philippines finally comes true (we meant to go in 2020), our paths may cross one day. Until then, hang in there, stay who you are and keep uploading your great content. Like so many others, I'll be watching, relating and hoping with you. All the best from Germany.
I had PTSD after serving as a marine in Iraq and Afghanistan. I went through it. I'm better now.
I came across your channel only yesterday. I immediately liked your videos. I know the Philippines rather well and you are charismatic. As UA-camr you managed to transform your condition into something very powerful, others might not be able to. Build on it!
Absolutely right....
💯 correct !
Absolutely true, KD can build more powerful stories to share to everyone base on his personal struggles. Thanks for sharing KD.
I'm american, I've been here for 5 years now and I love it here most people here are awesome,you have bad experiences every where you have to deal with it and support the ones you love during hard times no matter where your at,,,the Philippines here is my second home and I will defend her like my own country,,I love the United States Of America,and God bless the Philippines
How do you cope with the heat and humidity in the Philippines?
@@georgemelo2443 I'm from Florida,the heat and humidity is far worse there,, I've never seen it over 96 degrees here there's almost always a breeze,you can say it's perfect for me, though I do miss the cool weather I've aclimated to some degree here so I do get a bit chilly when it hits around 75,, Lol.
@@rexhayes1719 Same thing I was going to comment. In regards to heat, I don't consider the Philippines to be particularly hot compared to most of the other places I have lived. It seldom gets above 95 degrees Fahrenheit. Where I currently live it is over 95 for 7 months a year, and over 100 for 5 of those 7 months. The Philippines is pretty high on the humidity level, but it still isn't anymore humid than places I have lived in the USA.
@@richardmiddleton5984 yes your right in florida it's pretty bad especially the humidity it's usually over 100 percent after a storm and you'll have a thunderstorm almost everyday they have a rainy season here too but the humidity isn't as bad,,I'm in Manila I don't know about the other islands they may get hotter
It was very brave of you to make this video. Most people, myself included, don't know enough about mental health issues and don't realise how badly the current situation can affect people. Take the time you need, get the help you need, be with your family and you can be sure that there are people out here who wish only the best for you.
I feel you, we have the same struggles but I do my best to cope, my enemy is myself. I hope you too will fully recover. Have faith!
Having a filipina wife and have lived in Manila for 3 years these vlogs of you and all these others are our pressure relief here in germany..we love them all. And we plan one day to return for good..now watching this video and realising under how much pain u must have been and that only some weak wood is the reason u are still here is shocking..please know everybody loves Kumander Daot. You did the right thing and went home for proper help.. very couragios to make this video and it shows you are not giving up. Find your inner strength and keep fighting our hearts are with you!
"I'M GONNA GO BACK, AND FIGHT ANOTHER DAY" That's our Kumander Daut
Leaving your wife, fur babies, and everything during this pandemic to get help takes extreme courage. I teared up because mental health isn't taken/received as a serious illness and it's hard to get proper treatment - there's a negative stigma with depression but those who truly love you will always have your back and be by your side no matter what.
You'll be back stronger than ever!
So proud of you for doing something for your own well being. I was a big fan when I first saw you on Kyle's video ( cause you're just an authentic and funny guy) and now, I am your biggest fan. Mental health is so important to me as a health care worker and as a human being. I have seen the devastation it caused to a lot fo people and families especially children. I think you are put on You Tube for a bigger purpose and one of that is to increase awareness of this very critical issue. Sending prayers, love, positive and healing thoughts. God bless and one day at a time. We are here to support you! You got this!!!
I feel you kumander and i
I know where you're coming from. On several ocassions (five) I attempted to end my life between the years 2005-2008. I have been diagnosed with manic depression and being bipolar did not help. I have highest of highs, and lowest of lows. My coping mechanism was mountaineering/hiking then. It made me see the beauty in things. What also helped me was opening up and telling my story from the people I meet when hiking. Another thing that helpful to me was the support group In my wife and my cousin. From the very beginning I opened it to her and didn't hide those things (wife). She does a hell of a fine job. It's not easy, I still encounter highest and highs and lowest of lows, I still fight my inner demons, but the moment I tell her and she felt that, she would immedistely help me divert my attention to other things. Kapit lang kumander, If ever you need someone to talk to, hit a message, I am willing to listen. Sabi nga nila, it takes one to know one. Stay safe brother.
tagay lng ktapat nyan.
@ i hope you are just being sarcastic!
@ walang modo parang magulang mo!
@@crisamphioxus ha? hotdog
Take care of yourself and I can imagine how you feel. I have been living in the Philippines for 6 years and understand how tough life can be over here. What really helps me is I don't want to ever see my kids have to tell friends or acquaintances that their Dad committed suicide. I understand the pain they would feel and all the damage I would cause for being selfish like that. I hope if you read this it might help your perspective...It's a permanent solution to a temporary feeling...Get better you have a lot to give in this world...
i didn’t notice that my tears is already running down my cheeks 😭 WE LOVE YOU KUMANDER!!!
❤️❤️❤️
Me too... love you Kumander..
When all is good and fine come back to the Philippines. You're always welcome here
@Adolf Obama that's why I said "when"
Bravery, courage and humility; 3 things I could say about this vlog. Thanks for sharing the real you and not a fake persona usually portrayed on UA-cam. This is real life; Real struggles. We all have our crosses to bear. But I’m sure by this vlog, you have helped others.
It takes humility to recognize and admit you need help. Courage and bravery to actually take the step to do something about it it.
Sending prayers your way.
One step at a time.
YOU GOT THIS! 💪🏽
I was so sad to hear your story about how you almost died a few months ago. The world is so much better with you here. Please always know how many people care and want the best for you. Take care of yourself.
A father will hug its son when he realizes the young boy he knew has become a man. I think your dad has learned a lot about you by watching your YT videos, I bet he is extremely proud of you and how hard you work and made a life for yourself. You have learned to overcome, persevere and keep moving forward no matter what while maintaining a positive attitude. We are all proud of you! Have a safe trip. PH will be waiting for your return. Thank you for sharing.
So glad you didn’t delay to get help. Hope to see you when i get back to the Philippines too. We can speak bisaya together and make some awkward scenes for the local people haha. We need to straighten Kulas’ accent aron mahimu cya pure nga bisaya lol. Ingat pare
He was very honest when he said Philippines was a very difficult place.
Lalo kung sa manila traffic pollution limitadong open space at parke mall lng mapapasyalan mo tapos yung environment ibang iba din lalo kung dito sya nakatira lalo syang maiistress
Lalo na pag gumawa k n ng mabuti at tumulong tapos lulokohin k lang nakakalungkot lang sinasamantala ang kabutihan mo
@@junespanol1932 at nakakahiyang ugali ng Pilipino ang manloko ng ibang Lahi..gaya ng mga pinpalabas ni Raffy Tulfo..kakahiyang ugali ng Pilipino is Gahaman...pasintabi sa mga matitino
Sana dun sya sa provinces nagstay.. mas welcoming and friendly mga tao at iilan lang yung scammers lol. Si kulas and Bret like their stay in CDO.. the city of golden friendship.
@@myrahnaif3163 Kahit saan kultura meron yan. Nadidiin lang kasi naibabalita. Mas weird mas magandang ibalita, pag maganda ang balita walang interesadong magbasa. Halimbawa ang UA-cam, di ba mas maraming viewers, likes at subscribers ang mga weird contents.
Perfect example of “You Never Know What People Are Going Through.” Thank you for sharing your plight. If you are feeling anxious, go live in You Tube and you will have people you can talk to to encourage you.
I feel you sir. I was suffering with anxiety, panic attacks and depression for 3 years. I've been with doctors and medications with no luck. But Jesus heal me in just 3 days, instantly! Now I am free with this illness for almost 4 years until now. Stay strong sir! There's always a way... I will pray for you.
Amen!
Amen! Thank you Lord!
Stay strong my friend and Happy New Year!🙏🏻
Amen!
@@wanderingandroid it's the truth and I know you will not believe it... I don't believe on Him also before but now I cannot deny it. I still tremble and cry because of joy when I remember the day when He set me free. I am here testifying the truth even the world will hate me.
The hardest part is revealing to the world with your condition. Very brave of you stay positive and strong be around positivity and you’ll get through this.
Hey Kumander Daot, get treated. Mate, there's a lot more to live. So fight on and come back. You can get pull it through. Let's all pull it together!
I have a tons of respect for you and you did the right thing by going back to the UK to seek support and treatment. Even during these crazy times. Hopefully, the vaccines will help slow and eventually stop the spread of this virus and you will be able to go back home ASAP.
There are a lot of things that we have in common... I also was not very close with my father, specifically when I was a teen. I joined the army, mostly to get away from my parents. However, my father died of cancer before I could make amends with him. I never got the hug that you got and I miss him every day even though that was 30 years ago.
Your story is so very inspiring and I look forward to every one of your vlogs. My wife is from Bislig City and I dream of the day that I can retire there in the Philippines. I thought about moving there before retirement age and trying to start a business but I knew that it would be more trouble than it’s worth.
You are very talented as a vlogger and I really think that you could be very successful just doing that. Your business ventures are indeed adding to the interest of your posts but I would hate for you to have to keep losing $$$ and your sanity just to make the vlogs.
Stay strong, buddy. We’re all pulling for you!
I’m your subscriber, stay strong healthy and positive
This proves you are stronger than you think.
It took courage doing this video. Keep this courage to see you though these hard times for you, there is always light at the end of the tunnel. Get well. God bless.
The best part of this blog is that you have a round trip ticket back to where were you called home...I'm pretty sure a lots of people especially your wife and pets and the people around you in Cateel and Davao City misses you now. But your decision going back home to Newport which is essential to support and get the treatment to fix your health condition, is so much respected. Just looking forward for your good recovery and hope to see you in your future blogs...I want to see Kumander Daot back in action...soon!! Peace out..
💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Aye Wil in the house

Thanks bro 🙂
Wil ...can you do something to help him? Fundraiser to help his fish farm. You are Kyle set something up
I see the 3 arms for strength.... think. What wil ... you want him to work out?? Haha
Stay strong Kumander I myself had suicidal thoughts before, I almost committed suicide 3 times when I was 19 yrs old that was 7 yrs ago. But one day I told myself I don't want this kind of thoughts anymore, so step by step I made myself strong and still continuously trying my best to be better than I was before. It's a marathon not a sprint. I believe there's always something great to look forward into life, you can do this commander take your time and comeback stronger as ever
No fancy vlogging gears needed... just pure and honest storytelling. Wishing you the best! Cheers! Daot na! \m/
You are one brave person kumander for taking this decision, This times really are very difficult I just hope you find healing in some way, we may not know you personally but your fans are here and we are here to give love and support. Take your time healing and I pray for your healing. Amping permi and as kulas always says keep that "power on".
It take courage and humility to talk about what's your going through KUDOS TO YOU KUMANDER!
Be strong kumander continue your vlog so will be able to have updates about you
You are gonna help a lot of people suffering from mental illness by you speaking up... such respect for you commander daot! Stay strong! You have a purpose!
I agree. God has called him!
You are one brave Welshman. Thank you for inspiring many who are in a similar state and circumstance. People often deny the problem because of the unfair stigma it carries. You have acknowledged it which is half of the solution. Well done and keep on keeping on.
This is very admiringly courageous of you! Not everyone can openly talk about this sensitive topic but you did and thank you for doing that. You are not alone in this fight. Hang in there, Kumander! Stay strong! Nothing is more important than your health.
Happy new year kummander. I’m one your loyal fans. I work in healthcare as an RN and mental health is the most underserved area in healthcare. That’s good that your getting help. I love your channel and is a subscriber since you started. I look forward to your shows 2021. You give joy to so many people because of your humor and you give many people something to look forward to and that’s a gift. Happy new year kummander.
Before Anselm started vlogging, I was there seen him the great potentials in creating positive UA-cam content so I kept on commenting that he needs to try vlogging too. I saw different kind of positive vibes of him that I saw in Kyle too and huge thanks to Kyle for introducing Anselm us. When he started the vlogging, I felt proud of this man. And after watching this vlog, I got emotional learning the all the traumatic and stigma that he had to go through. ANSLEM, BRO, I AM SO PROUD OF YOU -- FOR STAYING STRONG TO STAY ALIVE, FOR SPEAKING UP AND SHARING THIS TO ALL OF US.
ANSELM, PLEASE KNOW THAT YOU HAVE INSPIRED EVEN MORE PEOPLE ABOUT YOU AND YOUR LIFE. PLEASE STAY STRONG AND FIGHT. THOUSANDS OF US ARE SUPPORTING YOU.
Stay strong Kumander, you're not alone. Have HOPE, FAITH and LOVE.
The smile at the end with the quote speaks volumes "I will be back!"...recharge your vitality...take care of yourself and have a Happy New Year!
All I see is a brave man.
Amen to that!
I feel you, Mate. I am a veteran and I got PTSD. Mental health is a serious issue that only those who suffer from it get to understand. Talking about it in the open takes courage and I admire you for that. Your actions inspired me and even made me smile and gave me hope for a better and brighter future. I will do my best to fight it. I know I am not alone. I'll pray for you. Together and many others like us, we will heal.
You are so brave for opening up! I am a huge mental advocate and so happy that people are using social media as an avenue to educate people about thei mental health condition. You just gained a new subscriber!
Most of the time we don't really know what goes behind those smiles and laughter. I respect ya brother.
How many of you know Kumander is Anselm Plummer ... this amazing photographer!!! Google !! I’m a photographer that lived in Boracay 4yrs. Lived thru many highs & lows to a point I wanted to end it. We all have a story. I cried watching this vlog. Moved me. But more!! Anselm is amazing photographer!! No wonder you UA-cam vlogs are great!! You have this amazing eye for detail. You are right where you should be. This is your therapy... seeing how much this experience has effected others! ♥️🇵🇭🙏🏻
You’re openness is already an act of humility and at the same time of greatness... you have been an inspiration for me to cope with things I need to deal also with life right now and made worse because of the COVID19... I am very grateful of your genuineness, I WILL PRAY FOR YOU.
Such a touching story, I'm compelled to write my thanks and congratulations for opening up about your troubles. I hope by doing so and seeing the positive comments here, it lightens your load and you know that there are people around that world that are cheering for you.
Hello ,Kumander. I am from Canada. As I am hearing your stories, my heart touches me and won’t stop my eyes to drop tears. We do have struggles in life in a different ways. But what I can tell and doing every time is to be closer to God. Talk to him all the time thru prayers. He is our ultimate source that find ways to give us hope and encouragement by using people to keep up going which is evident by by your parents . I was touched when you said that you’re Dad hugged you unexpectedly that means he cares for no matter what. I do not have a Dad for so long as he was gone. Keep in mind that you are lucky and special person And we will all get through this big pandemic problem .
I've been BPD/Bipolar for 20 years. Thanks for speaking up.
Stay strong! ❤
Bless your heart.
Brave man! Be strong 🙏🏻💕
I perfectly understand what your going through right now. I’m a filipino who work at nyc in a psych facility, It’s tough but I know u can overcome it. coming out and saying that you need help is a start. hang in there kumander daot💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 fighting!
sharing problem to the family , and are good ,,
but the very best thing to do is surrender to your self humbly to our Almighty Father God in Heaven .
I can actually relate to your situation. I have some mental health issues myself and I’m struggling with it each day and has even gotten worst because of the pandemic. And have also have thought of ending my life and thankful I didn’t. You are a brave man to admit this and to be able to talk about it is not easy, but you are setting a good example to your viewers and sending a positive message to everyone. Don’t be afraid to take a break and reach out in difficult times like this. Thanks for sharing your story and stay safe. You are such an inspiration to all of us . Sending love and support from a Filipino subscriber in London 🙏🙏🙏
Keep on fighting 🙂
Kumander Anselm, talking about your mental health journey takes courage, and is a big step towards healing. I applaud you. I’m dealing with PTSD, and talking about my fears and anxieties to someone is helping me to not only face them, but bring to surface coping skills that have helped me, as well as learning new ones.
Thank you for sharing your life story. You’re not alone in your journey to healing.
Prayers and good vibes going your way good sir. Stay strong!
Toughen up Lady! Quit being pus$y weak!☺
I admire your bravery and openness in talking about this, Kumander. You've definitely made the correct decision by making your health the priority. That's so awesome that your Dad hugged you at the airport! Enjoy spending this time with your parents!
You've got my respect. We are here to support your journey to healing. Take Care and all things will get better.
There's always a rainbow after the rain, keep fighting and just enjoy life. Sooner or later everything will be alright. Philippines miss u so much.
Takes a lot of courage and strength to admit you need help. Get the help you need.. Get well soon.
It's an enormous step for you to take to take. n for you has increased a thousandfold
Can't stop my tears while watching, Praying for you, so that you can overcome these trials, You are a courageous man, We know you can! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
"I'm gonna go back and fight another day" This is a mature statement and a positive note. I'm rooting for you on this fight Kumander! Laban lang, you know you're not DAOT in real life. :D
Very well said
Yes good words! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Kumander! You’re NOT daot! Moving to a different country and starting a business! That right there is a true survivor and a fighter! Just always look at the brighter side of things and don’t let anyone make you feel like you’re anything less!
what's the meaning of daot?
@@flordelizajose4266 daot is bisaya meaning OUT OF ORDER (may sira, di umaandar). It could also mean in Cebuana as being sick.

Tight hugs from me brother. Im really in tears watching your vlog. My mom had also mental issues and we family also went through her suffering. As we grow older we undertood alreadg her condition and everybody is helping mom to take her regular medications so she will not have attacks. Thats very brave of you kumander. You can make it. We will always be there for you. Just hang on there❤
It needs a lot of courage for someone to open up what he’s been going through....man, you are awesome.
Father's hugs means you're welcome and love you. What they said, "absence makes the heart grow fonder." They missed you bro.
KD, get well soon... you are so brave...
Just imagine a jolly and happy person, is struggling with a different battle...
Thats why we should be kind to all people, who would know, they are taking refuge in our company and that was their way to fight their battle...
Hope and praying for your immediate recovery and waiting for you to come back in Philippines... stay DAOT and share good vibes... your family there is waiting....
❤️ Home is where your heart is. Family above all, is the best support therapy. All the best Kumander Daot.
Gimingaw na sad ko sa amo. Pinoy living here in the UK, btw.
That must having taken lots of courage to be so honest about what you’ve been going through these last few months ,very emotional vlog . Glad fate wanted you to return back to the UK to reset your life . You are an inspiration to many , but time to concentrate on your well being mate . Lots of love from Cebu ,take care 👍
Kumander just so you know, my Dad and the rest of my family are huge fans of yours! In fact we were planning to buy your merchandise. We are saddened that you had to leave the Philippines but we are happy for you are taking the brave step to total healing and freedom from your illness. We are praying for you. Know that your life matters and makes people happy like our family in the midst of this pandemic. Please do not stop vlogging, we will always stay in tune even when you are in Wales. Keep safe and God bless!
I admire you man for your bravery and for speaking out. It’s tough and not so many people would admit about their mental health condition. Especially when you are a social media influencer. This video will help many us viewers understand other people, and whatever they are going through. fight Kumander Daot, we are with you 100%!
i stumbled across this just randomly and i didnt expect you to talk about BPD. this made me cry because i know exactly how you feel.. its a constant day to day struggle. i was diagnosed 3 years ago and i felt as if no one understood me.. so thank you for this.
Hi Kumander, we’ll claim this year as a start of better years ahead of us. You will gain back all you’ve lost, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel! God bless! 🙏❤️
"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." -Jesus
Only Jesus can fill up your emptiness. Only Jesus can set your mind free. A friendly advice: Find a Bible believing group and experience the genuine love of God and complete healing not only in your physical, mental but also your spiritual aspects.
Yes amen..thank you Jesus
I pray for your perfect recovery from BPD...let the peace of God dwell in your heart and mind in the Name of Jesus..cheer up kumander daot
You know, as I'm attending a live stream catholic mass in youtube, I remembered you and included you in my special intentions for the mass. May you find comfort and healing and wish you good luck when you're ready to get back soon!
Anselm, thank you for having the strength of mind to take yourself back to Newport and share this incredibly difficult chapter. We wish you all the best for your healing process. Hopefully vlogging now and back in Phils will give you more strength and purpose, we all certainly enjoy your docu-story style. There are so many people here in the comments that appreciate and support you, whatever you choose to do when you get back to Phils. Until then, enjoy family time and get strong, hopefully the rules for getting back into Phils will be ready when you are. Take care bud.
Dear Anselm,
Happy New Year and 2021 is going to be great for you.
You made me laughed the first time I saw you in Nov 2019 Vlogs of #Becomingfilipino.
I was so Impressed with your Bisaya language and I was surprised you had a fishpond at Cateel. My first impression was, this guy is funny, interesting and I noticed your laughs were different. Something I could see within but like you said you have a coping mechanism and you were doing great and strong as you can.
I cried watching this video, I can feel your pain and I admired you for sharing with it us.
Please, talk to us as long as you needed and I will pray for your safety and healthy 2021.
We Love you KD> Power On ! Keep living because you an Angel to us.
With Love from Las Vegas.
You're a good, brave and courageous man. I'm hoping and praying that you'll get the proper help. Thanks for your honesty.
I’m so proud of you talking out about your condition, you will help loads of people , keep on talking and look after yourself xxxxx
Get well soon kumander daot, i know God will always protect you, just keep on fighting and moving forward. We will always support you 🥰
Much love and support from the community that you have made here. Keep strong. ❤️🙏🏼
Oh man!! I’m so sorry to hear that!! I send you love and prayers!! What keeps me strong enough to get through is praying to our Heavenly Father!! 🙏🏼💙
Your parents must be immensely proud of the young brave man they have brought up to be strong and ultimately a survivor. I respect how incredibly difficult this must have been for you to go through and share with your subscribers. All credit to you young man and if this helps even one person with the same condition then it’s an enormous achievement, more power to you son. May god bless and take care of you every step of the way on this journey.......
You can overcome that Kumander we will always be here for you. Keep vlogging your daot-ness will help you in this battle. 🙏🏻❤️
Hi Kumander D, i really admired your bravery to talk about what you are going through, a total respect from here, just hang on there and everything will be OK. Happy new year from Singapore.
You are so amazing Kumander, shows how courageous you are uploading this video. I am one with you Kumander. We support you!
We're all behind you. It's rare you can find courageous and real people on the internet, thanks for being one. Keep strong and fight on. Cheers!
I was touched when you were finally at your country! There’s no other place like home! Kumander be safe!
God bless you sir, remember that you are the "Kumander". The Commander of your life.
Praying with you Kumander 🙏 You may not know it, you may not see it..but YOU really make a difference in this world that cannot be replaced. I commend you for being so brave to face it and make to the decision to open up about it. Accepting and addressing the current state of your mental health is so fearless and admirable. Pls continue sharing, you don't have to struggle in silence. Remember your Filipino family and friends are waiting for your stronger comeback. Pls know that you are adorable even in your not-so-good moments. Keep on praying, you can do this together with your family.
Butangi! You had me glued to your video until the end Daot... something i normally don't have the patience to do. Lipay ko nga naka uli ka ug nagpatambal. You needed that break so badly. You can forget us in the meantime and enjoy home and old friends. Like i said before you left, we'll always be a shoulder for you to lean on. Amping sa covid pud dong. ❤
You’re very brave my friend. Philippines loved to welcome you back, soon. Enjoy your time with your parents.
Thank you for sharing with us mate. It's difficult to do, Jane and I also have and do experience mental health problems. We understand and you have made the right decision. Your father will always be there for you as will everyone who loves you. We are next door in Bristol. If we can help in any way just shout. Take care, keep safe and know we are all here for you 😊
This was your best decision! Take a break and when you do go back to the Philippines. I think you should sell your business. That is the catalyst of your stress.
Proud of you being proactive in dealing with your situation. Know that someone in Houston is praying for your well being and strength to carry on. You are in a good place with family right now and hopefully you find the light to find yourself and to find God in your heart. The Philippines will always welcome you in due time.
That’s brave of you to talk about your condition, so much respect to you. I’m glad you have a good grasp of the situation and you know what to do to get help and resolve the problem. I can see positivity in you. That’s a good thing. Stay safe . Feel better.
Kumander Daot, you touched my heart. Thank you for opening up and shared what's going on with you. I wanna give you a big hug!! I can't stop my tears from falling as I type this. You are very respectful to the Filipinos. You are right with your decision to go home. You felt loved right away from your dad, and it's important to you right now. You will be fine, do what you got to do to heal. You are always welcome to the Philippines as your second home. Filipinos will love you more now. You've helped the people around you; you gave them employment too. That's a big deal to us. Thank you. God bless you in your everyday life. Remember, God loves you. He's just there waiting for you to call upon him. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. We love you.
YOU ARE A BRAVE BOY SWEETIE....
