You can 100% tell he's a writer even if you didn't know. Every episode is a memoir. My Cup Is Full is a audio/visual autobiography.
It really is!
It’s also v therapeutic to both write and explain it. And he’s funny so we win he wins everybody win win win!! 🥇
Hearing a male speak on such deep topics is absolutely refreshing. I was a fan long before, but now it’s cemented. Thank you Syd
This!! I'm encouraging you to keep on being your authentic self Sydney! I found you during the pandemic and loved your podcast with Zainab. I'm a huge fan and appreciate you sharing your vulnerability with us. There is no telling how many Black men you are helping with your openness. ❤❤❤😊😊😊
Man I'm in here crying. You don't even understand how many parallels we got going on bruh. Anxiety attacks. Loss my older brother to a serial killer 11/1/2021. My mom dealing with dementia right now. My wife literally told me on Friday I need to go talk to someone because I just shoulder everything and keep it moving. It's not the easiest to just be still when you have a wife with 4 children with bills and taking care of a mother.
Feel you bro 🙏🏽
My biggest fear is that shouldering everything and hiding your pain/stress and trauma will manifest itself in physical or mental illness or impairment.
I'm scared I will somehow get physical ailments like stuttering or nerve issues, skin rashes, etc.
Then the mental stuff is basically because of loneliness because you aren't in community can bring about behavior issues, and symptoms for other things
Hug
Fam, I feel you
My prayers are for you and your family! Therapy is great! I have my sessions every Monday, and when I say life changing, I mean it!
You could say Right as many times you want to. You're a GREAT storyteller!!! Your transperancy is refreshing and helpful. So happy seeing a Black men using his platform to show what self-awareness looks like and putting in work to gain insight to grow.
RIGHT!❤ lol
As a Black therapist, it makes me so happy to see/hear you talk openly about mental health. We've been lied to and told to just "deal with it." But there is no shame in working on yourself or asking for help.
This was beautifully tragic. I appreciate your transparency. As a wife, I also appreciate you saying thank you to Chris’s wife for her sacrificing her husband so that he can be there for you. That’s so important for men to have level headed, even tempered men to talk to, especially in a time of crisis.
Been rocking with Syd since ‘12, one of my favorite comedians!
Dawg, as a podcast consumer…you’ve captured lighting in a bottle. This is a diamond in the rough, yet to be found. I love the in-house usage of your peers, ie, Doboy on the intro! Idk who your producers are but they’re amazing.
Obviously you got a special, special talent for that stage but the way you hold court on this pod…you got it bruh…I see the vision and ima supporter 100%
RUN UP THE LIKES FOR A REAL ONE !!!
This is becoming one of my top podcasts
And this right here is why I will always appreciate black men and them connecting with their emotions. Luv ya dawg.
I admire and appreciate how you talk so openly about your struggles with grief, anxiety, loss, and love. Black folks tend not to talk about our mental health struggles, so thank you for this display of vulnerability
I've been stuck in self isolation because of my anxiety & depression for so long. It's hard to get outside, let alone talk to people & trust them.
Praying for US 🙏
Sydney Castillo is my #1 favorite comic/entertainer. Always right on time ⏲️ 👌🏽 👍🏽 💯 🙌🏽
Well now you can talk to us too. We all can feel and relate, especially us that have lost a parent. My Dad passed in 2014.
I like the episodes with guest, but this was just......wow! Social media has people obsessed with being perceived as perfect, so this level of vulnerability is nice to see👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 wanted to add, along with the breathing exercises, meditating helps a lot also!
I’m only a third of the way through the episode but man… your heart is special & your voice is needed! It can’t be easy to share things like this. Thank you.
You helped a lot of people today. I benefited greatly. Thank you.❤
I think I speak for most of us, we feel honored you’re expressing this level of openness with us!! Man we definitely cousins now for real. Thank you for this 🙏🏾🕊️
My brother Derrick passed away last year. My mother had breastcancer and hid it from me until after she started chemo. Hearing this really hit home for me.
Bro this episode hits home for me in some many ways. First my name is Derrick…. Second of my prostate levels are sky high, and my doctor think I could have prostate cancer I’m literally in tears as I have a beautiful family and my anxiety has me in tears at times.
This is the single most important podcast episode I've ever heard. Thank You, I needed it.
Sidney gifted bruh, easily could be a preacher, on top of being a comedian, writer, etc🙏🏽
19:15 Amen. I love kicking it with older lack folks that don’t have time for the foolishness. I be at home, chilling comfy.
You have no idea how this has helped me. I really didn’t know much about you or your comedy until you started this podcast. From episode one, I saw your heart. Now I see your empathy and compassion for us all and I love you for that. I pray God blesses me with a man as handsome and compassionate as you! Kiddos for this one black man fr!
Man that's real lil things remind me of my dad would have me in tears. My dad played checkers. I saw 2 old men playin checkers under a tree I cried like he had just passed.
My dad was diagnosed with cancer. Went into remission 5 years later and was diagnosed with Alzheimer's/dementia. I get it. Im helping take care of my dad right now. Im on Lexapro. Praying for you.
Every time I watch your podcast I find out something about myself. I’m a disabled veteran, but just looking at me you couldn’t tell. I never wanted to admit it but I have panic attacks. I literally just had one in hobby lobby. It’s hobby lobby man! Why am I panicking
Lost my Pop in May. This degree of loneliness is unmatched. My biggest fan by a long shot. I needed Syd. Hella glad you started the pod
I watched my mom die from cancer. Terrible. Just terrible. 21 yrs old I was lost. Very familiar with the disorder. Was diagnosed with depression at 23. My anxiety started as a kid though. My uncle passed away in my arms after I caught him from a seizure around 8. Sh*t gets real in life. Good to see you still living life!
Sydney I was diagnosed at a 38-year-old breast cancer sister and you have me bawling. Chemo is a surreal thing.
Many blessings to you and keep shining
I'ma just say thank you dawg. Some of us needed to hear this.
I need to be able to give this more than 1 👍🏿
In 2018 I had 3 panic attacks in 2 days. Thats when I met my anxiety. Spent 2 years in therapy which taught me how to manage. But my new phrase when I’m overwhelmed - My Cup Is Full!!
I wanted to cry but I was watchin this in the work truck with my man but I feel you dog 😢
I had a panic attack and it cost me the best relationship I ever had. I didnt know what it was and made bad decisions based on the wrong understanding of what it was. Hi Jessa!
I genuinely love sydney. His transparency and vulnerability are things I highly respect about him. It's also sexy AF.
This is how you stay calm and talk about mental health. 🤝🏾 Thank you Good Sir.
This was therapeutic for me just as a listener.
The perfect mixture of laughter and dealing with your ish. I love this podcast! I hope it blesses the masses. ❤
So much valuable information in under an hour! I hope this reaches those who need it.
Very much needed topic. More men, specifically black men, need to hear this and take heed the message being delivered.
I agree. When my mother went through Chemo (twice), I couldn't believe how many people were there alone. Her reoccurrence happened during COVID as well and can completely relate to you regarding the anxiety of her contracting it from me.
I thought you were talkin to me when you said, "You gettin good, Taylor! We live?" I turned around and look at this phone so damn fast lol
😂😂😂
Appreciate this! Counseling the brokenhearted is truly a ministry, regardless of the form. Shortly after my mother died of cancer in 2010, I had a dream of her looking like her healthy self and telling me that she felt SO much better. That eases my spirit even after all these years.
As a Black male therapist, your experience with that first therapist is completely unacceptable. You deserved better. Thank you for sharing your story, inspiring more of us to take care of ourselves
I watched all of your videos in one day. Your stories are insane and your guests are amazing! Can’t wait for more. ❤
Love that you started your stand up journey with Ali Siddiq. It makes so much sense, y’all’s talent for story telling is unmatched.
Sydney....thank you for your vulnerability and validation for those of us learning how to process our emotions and trauma through therapy. ❤❤❤
I light up every time another episode drops ! please do not stop this amazing consistency we love your stories
Man this was powerful. Thank you for sharing this. You will make anyone who happens to come across this video stop and reflect for a moment.
Sitting still can be one of the hardest things to do 🥹
I remember when I started having panic attacks and thought I was about to faint but over time, once I've realized they were coming, I'd prepare myself and sometimes in my head I'll tell myself that I know what it is now and "sometimes" they'll pass a lot quicker when I think my way through them. Even if I'm completely in my head and negative thoughts try to come.
Oh hell yeah. You dropping em now Syd 🔥 podcast of the year
Who is cutting the onions in here 🧅
😢
Both hilarious and relatable
Thank you, just sat with my MIL 1st chemo treatment. You are so right support for family is a MUST!❤Wishing you continous healing as well Syd!
Prayer, Therapy, Community, and Passion Projects are life savers! Do not suffer in silence yall. 💪🏾
I love this Sydney! Talking about the trauma & anxiety is not always comfortable, but it's 1000% necessary. Your openness is appreciated.
You're inching your way up the favorite podcast list 😃
Keep pushing Syd you're doing an amazing job!🫶🏾
Last couple of years I’ve been having anxiety and panic attacks . You legit can’t control when it’s going to happen . A lot of people don’t understand what you actually feel . Nothing can calm you down but your self 😢. Thank you for sharing your story
Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your journey with us!
Duuuude, this episode really hit home. I had a mimi stroke around this time last year. As August approached, i was feeling a certain way. Yes, control what you can and nothing more. As a result, things will get better. Lastly, just keep...on...PUSH'N 👏🏾👍🏾✌🏾🙏🏾.
Damn dawg this episode really put things in perspective for me. I lost my dad back in 2021 to stomach cancer and he was really the only family I had. I’m still going through that pain. Glad I found this podcast. I thank you for opening up and sharing your experience with the people. Wish I could go to the show in Atlanta
Thank you Sydney, each of your podcasts have done something incredible for me. You’re not just entertainment.
I’ve heard multiple times about people saying lost love ones came to them in a dream. When I lost my granddad two years ago, I prayed that didn’t happen to me. I’m 32 and my granddad was the first person I ever lost and I think if that happened to me, I wouldn’t recover well.
“If I have to cry, I’m going to cry” so SIMPLE, but this is the base for grief I’ve learned since losing my mom too soon. Thank you so much for this episode Sydney!! This was so real!!
39:07 I’ve seen all the clips. I need the full performance. I binged all of the Chocolate Sundays clips. You’re beastly with it. 💪🏾
Wow powerful testimony. I struggle with depression and anxiety. Meditation, prayer, journaling, exercise, CLEAN eating, even natural supplements like ashwagandha help. Talk to somebody professional. It helps too.
My favorite comedians and the ones that stand the test of time, are all great storytellers.
You’re a great Sydney, keep telling your stories.
The way I relate to the meds not working.. therapy not working and just out here free balling it. I was suffering in what felt like the most unexplainable way.
I lost my 22 year old son 1/8/24. I soooo needed this today. I watched it before while cooking, but watched it today again to support and got a word! #mycupisFULL
Love you brother ❤ RESILIENCE! OVERCOMING!
Thank you for sharing your story. I am a therapist and I know how hard it can be to admit you need help AND to actually reach out to get it. It sucks that you had some bad experiences with some unprofessional therapist but I'm glad that didn't let that stop you feom getting the help that you need. I guarantee you have changed--and likely saved--at least one life by doing this. I wish you all the best!!
I love love this so much!! Keep doing your thing!! I’m so proud and happy 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
This episode was great. Thank you again for your vulnerability and transparency. You help so many with your message.🙏🏽
I'm proud of you for being able to do this episode alone ❤. Keep going comedy crush
Thank you for this episode!❤️ Wish you the best
This episode was so good and full of great advice!!! Thank you so much!!! Wow each one is better and better all 10s hands down 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
23:12 This is called the dive reflex. Thanks for describing it!
Appreciate you taking the time and energy to make this video for your podcast; I learned a lot today ❤
As someone who lost both parents by age 10 to cancer that and refused to feel anything for almost 10 years afterwards I can’t thank you enough for sharing these stories with the world. I’ve been a since discovering you on laugh factory and now I feel like you’re family from far away. God bless you Sydney for sharing your truths and your laughs! ❤❤
So important for black men to discuss these things. Thank you for ya vulnerability. Also the friends you have, the village around you is amazing.
I have experienced everything he talked about, lost my mom to cancer in 2005 and my dad in 2012 it was very hurtful and I never thought I would get over it but I did.
I love Chris's wife. Kudos for her security in their marriage and support of her husband and you as his friend.
Sir, continue to obey God because your podcast is helping others on a level of healing. This is purposeful. God bless you for being open to allowing others to heal thru your testimonies and life journeys. I have watched this episode more than once because the authenticity of this episode is amazing and is also needed for other men to see coming from another real man. Continue to PUSH thru because you, sir, are helping others heal in their trauma, and My Cup is Full is absolutely needed. This is a blessing 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾
It’s a beautiful thing to see so many men coming together to discuss something that isn’t comfortable to talk about, I didn’t realize I had anxiety until the big age of 33 and I felt ashamed to admit it. Sydney I don’t know if u understand the gift that you’re giving to us, thank you hun 🙏🏾
This episode really hit home for me. (1) Whenever something life-threatening went on with my parents I was the last to know because I was in school or working somewhere. (2) My mom, biggest supporter and confidante in my life, passed away during the pandemic and had a stroke a few years prior. Everyday I feel like she and my kids are missing out on reciprocally experiencing each other. (3) Having random moments where I wanna cry. (4) Getting diagnosed with anxiety last year (medicated but not seeing a therapist yet). Definitely enjoying this podcast.
Dang Syd! Sorry to hear all of life’s challenges. Thank you for sharing 💜💜💜💜💜
I’ve been suffering for nearly over decade and am finally in the process of getting help. This monologue from you was definitely needed 🤲🏽
I suffer from panic attacks and I sent this to everyone around me who thinks it couldn’t happen to them . They treated me like I was crazy because I was the strong one. Empathy is low with the world these days. Before I experienced one I would help people through them when I didn’t know what was wrong. I just knew someone needed me. You’re blessed to have people to help you and you shedding light is a blessing. 🙏🏽
We've had such similar struggles with medication, I have anxiety and CPTSD and I tried about 5 different meds. So many were just "You can't be anxious if you feel nothing / are asleep". Had a terrible virtual psychiatrist who dismissed all my side effects / withdrawal symptoms, couldn't even get ahold of him when I was in the hospital. What finally worked? Time, therapy, and my best friend/friend group are the only reason I am alive today. I feel my feelings now and I feel you Sydney, please never stop talking about your experiences 💜
God will use you if you let Him, thank you for sharing your testimony.
I actually volunteer with the American Cancer Society and drive cancer patients that need transportation to and from their appointments. If they would let me sit with them as well, I would. Thank you for sharing as always Sydney. ❤
Thank you, this helped me tremendously!
I have enjoyed all the episodes. But this one is so special because my Mother had a stroke my senior year of college, my brother had a stroke in his early 50's- so I always feel like I'm trying to outrun a stroke.
So I had a mental breakdown during Covid. This helped so much! My little sister died suddenly in 2018, my older sister is walking around town naked due to being off her schizophrenic meds, my niece (her daughter/12) needs help coping, my older brother/abuser murdered someone, and my mom leans on me for it all! I really needed this😢. Watching this lets me know it’s gonna be ok!
My dad passed from cancer 2013 and I tried so hard not to cry watching this
The way this episode is helping me. I appreciate you creating this podcast ❤
Thank you for sharing this! 🤲🏿🤲🏿🤲🏿
Really enjoying this podcast. Keep telling your story Sydney
Wow!! This was a great inside look at how a man deals with anxiety!! I hope other men see this and learn from it!!!
Man, come on Sid!!! I lost my older Brother the same exact way. Felt like I was listening to my own story. We had the same relationship and I have yet to face it head on and its been 6 years. Just lost my Dad to Cancer last month.
This may just be the perfect podcast!
