Happy birthday 🎉🎊!!! Taking life one day at a time seems to help me when I’m feeling overwhelmed. Or when I don’t know what to feel

Been following and closely watching the YT for a good while, but only recently decided to hop on the Patreon Shenanigans when I saw you were reacting to "Inside Out" and "The Punisher." Specifically in the case of "Inside Out" I was really excited to watch that reaction due to how much that movie helped me sort of "anchor" myself mentally back 10 years ago when it released and I was dealing with essentially the same exact situation Riley (Inside outs Main Protagonist) was dealing with. When I saw you were reacting to "Inside Out" I simply had to join the fun! Since that reaction, I can recall you dropping one of these mental health checks and I am LIVING for them!! In today's world there is an immense need for mental awareness of any and every kind, and while I myself am in a pretty good place right now, I know there are those who are definitely struggling and your initiative to highlight and stand alongside those who are struggling means ALOT. Thank you for taking the time to make these kinds of videos and know you are incredibly appreciated!! 🖤🖤🖤

Thank you for posting this. Your reactions always make me laugh and brighten my day. (: I have somewhat of a long confession I need to get off my chest. Tbh I’m going through a tough time… I got out of a 5 year abusive relationship last year and, as time passes, I have begun to realize how fucked up it was and also notice the how it has changed me But realistically speaking, I’ve always been labeled as “too nice” or “too empathetic” my whole life. In an attempt to “do what I love,” I worked at an animal rescue for 6 years, (eventually becoming the adoption manager)…but I had to leave because i was losing faith in humanity and continued to put everything on my emotional-tab. I would cry on my way home from work almost everyday during the last two years that I worked for them. In a sense I was perfect for that kind of work because I cared SO MUCH… but it was also deteriorating my mental health to see how horrible people could be…. I also was working 6 days a week and (minimum) 10 hours a day… but usually it would be more like 12 hours due to paperwork, etc. I got taken advantage of by the owners of the rescue (who were very rich and profit-driven while maintaining an animal-loving persona). The dark side of this animal rescue made me sick to my stomach on top of all the cruelty and lack of compassion I was exposed to… day after day. Because of my love for animals, a lot of cats and dogs ended up coming home with me for “end-of-life” care. I had become the designated hospice foster because I couldn’t say no…because I couldn’t allow these animals to be abandoned by their owners to just die in a loud, stressful rescue environment. But it absolutely broke my heart every time. I would do my best to take them out and give them a glorious and brilliant last chapter of their lives and would love them wholeheartedly….because that’s what I would want if I was them. But I had to stop. I did not know how much more heartbreak I could take. In total I helped 12 dogs/cats during the ends of their lives while they dealt with various conditions and were abandoned because of the cost of medical bills… and that all happened in the span of 3 years. These human beings would come abandon their pets when they were approaching death, but not close enough to put down… and instead I let myself break my own heart over and over. Then I also experienced heartbreak. I was also relieved for my relationship to be over but didn’t realize how much it would hurt…. So I’ve just been going through it this past year. I feel like I keep putting too much on my emotional tab and I just smile and take it. And now it’s weighing me down so much that I don’t even want to get out of bed on my days off. I’m really good at masking it… I’m a highly functioning depressed/anxious person… I still go to work, pay my bills, attend family functions without letting anyone know that anything is going on…but it’s not.. idk haha it’s just not fun. lol But thank you. Your vids make me laugh and give me comfort. Sorry for the ramble. Thanks for coming to my TEDX talk. Thanks for giving me somewhere to let these feelings out.

I'm a new subscriber on patreon, but I've been watching your videos for a while. Honestly what you said is something I've needed to hear for a long time. I just turned 21 yesterday and I've been feeling some kind of way about it. So, thank you so much, Alex. That makes me feel a lot better. I love your videos so much.

I definitely don’t NOT need it but I also just got asked for food by a crow so I’m feeling blessed. It’s the little things.

Allison Grinnell

On top of what Alex has already said here, I would add that if you can't seem to find the motivation to reach your goals. Then why not break down what your goal is. Break it down into small achievable segments. No matter how small you have to break it down. For instance if your goal is something objective and visible like losing or gaining 20 lbs. Break it down to just losing one lbs a week. And each day switch one meal for something healthy. Wether it's fruit or salad or something that just isn't processed. Then slowly add on different ways that you can reach the goal. Find an exercise that you actually enjoy. Even if it's just playing basketball or jogging or bicycling. Then at the end of the month see if you lost the five lbs. And just keep at it and in four months you'll see that you lost the weight and you're now set up to keep it off and live a healthy life. Small sections, and definitely celebrate each little step that you've achieved.

I’m glad you mentioned not getting caught up in what we think should’ve happened… that recently happened to me!!! I’m trying to start a new career and it got derailed… but it’s not too late, I just have to wait longer. ☺️ But it’ll happen!

Right now I’m in the transition of living at home to moving out for the first time. I’m nervous as fuck about it since my job has been cutting my hours recently and the deadline to move out is getting closer. Through some introspection I’ve also realized that the name I was given has never resonated with me and it always felt off being referred to by it. I am in the process of changing my first name to “Z” but it’s hard since no one I know remembers or wants to call me that

Thank you for this.

I needed to hear someone say they cared. My girlfriend was assaulted by her Doctor and didn’t know who to tell. I’m very appreciative that she felt comfortable telling me. I don’t know if I can look at the bag of goblin piss wrapped in human skin without killing him. This all on top of my normal mental struggles. Thank you for caring so much about the community and not getting caught up in the fame. I love you Bro! 😎

Thank you so much for sharing Alex 🙏🏾🫶🏾

Bro, are you stalking me? This hit so close to what’s going on right now in my life, feeling called out

I recently got put on Anti Depressants and have been at a very low point, life seems like a dead end job to me at the minute. I’m trying to cope and push through and I’m praying I can eventually see the light. Keep strong those who are struggling and always remember there’s people out there who love and care about you ❤️

Hey Alex this is my first time here and the only person I have ever done a patreon for and you have no idea how much you’ve helped me even if it was just distracting me for a little while, I can’t begin to thank you for making me laugh and forget about my problems for a little while. (I didn’t know you did these videos but it came at the right time thank you so much.)

Marty Murphy

You make my days so much better keep it up bro
