    i just wanna say i’m reading through all the comments on this and feeling so appreciative. maybe i’ve said this before but when I can tell that a certain video has resonated or hit more with the people who watch me, i just feel so excited and glad. It never stops blowing my mind how many people are out there who seem to really get what I’m saying even when i swear it’s nonsense but something told me to let it out anyway. as a person who was and still is called weird (in the bad way?) or whatever a lot, it is nice to have a place like this! so i just wanna say thanks to everyone who has commented i’ll probably read it all even if don’t respond.

      i love your personality and how your family treats you. you remind me of a friend that didnt want to be my friend anymore, i have my favourite memories with her and hearing how you talk and psychoanalyse everything and are so upfront about everything on camera is so earily simular and ita conforting. seeing people say i love you when you said something like "hah like im saying people would do that" made my heart warm ans you wanting to do it again and will be more comfortable on stage makes me so happy for you. thats all idk rambling

    as a therapist, i can recognize how often you are using tools and skills to keep yourself calm and grounded. i couldn't have walked you down off that ledge any better than you did for yourself. and that is a really special gift that is innate within you. you are your own hero and are capable of so much more than you recognize. you have a unique capability to think and understand things in a meaningful way.

      Question. The thing he talks about at 18 minutes... Is that just like an anxiety thing? I've always been like that. I have depression, anxiety, & recently diagnosed with ADHD a year & a half ago as an adult. I'm just curious if that's an anxiety related thing - If you have time to answer. 🥰 (I had a therapist for a few months earlier this year, but I stopped going 🤐)

    Drew, it honestly sounds like you’ve had somewhat of a breakthrough with your mental health with this experience. Watching your emotions play out, you got out of your comfort zone and saw that it wasn’t so bad and we’re able to pin that same feeling with other parts of your life like when you said hanging out with friends you don’t want to leave your room but if you just do it you feel better 20 minutes in and start to feel like yourself. This is huge. We’re so proud of you!!!!

Anyway thanks so much for reaching out, I’m very glad you feel this way, it’s a two way street and I wouldn’t be able to do this for a living if there wasn’t people out there like you with an open mind for somewhat different types of RUclips videos and people.

      School is hard and we always seem to stem from some learning disorder or another. I know I struggle so hard in school. It didn’t stop me from getting my bachelors degree which yes that was harder. OK this saw it just came in. There’s so many tips and tools to taking a test and studying if you find out how you test because that is a lot of the grade anyways, is the test not all of the work But there’s some testing anxiety tips some studying tips with color coordination’s and things like that for me if it’s a multiple-choice test, I get permission to bring in a blink sheet of paper and I put that paper and I slide it down and I read the question and then I slide it down and I read it with Answer a does that fit? OK move down to be read just be so on and so forth. For me that helped me not get messed with in my mind, and I could not just look at all of them and be like oh I know the answer I would learn to think about it. Colors works for me I ramble because I’m ADHD and bipolar, and and and. There are ways around school don’t let school kick your ass. You go and kick its ass and then walk away when you graduate and say, never do I have to look back I kick your ass!
